Love how credible these guys are and it takes just a minute to verify them, so I'll leave this here:

"co-founder and chief executive of crypto exchange BitMEX who had projected that the price of bitcoin would skyrocket to US$50,000 in 2018."
https://www.ccn.com/top-5-worst-bitcoin-price-predictions-of-2018/

Also, in September of 2020 Hayes predicted that YFI (at 40k at that time) could reach $100k. A month after his prediction it was already below 30k and now going for only 5k. If you bought that when Hayes talked about it, you'd go bankrupt

Is that a joke? You must be very young if you think that 42 is old age.
Man, I'm nearing the end of my 30s and I don't feel old at all. I know a lot of people in their 40s who do extreme sports, have much younger girlfriends, ride motorcycles, race cars...

40 was an old age in the middle ages when a knight would be unfit to do battle at the age of 40 because he's considered too old, but now, people have babies at the age of 50. Look at Hollywood actors and how they look in their 50s! 40 is not old. Nowadays you're old when you're 70, unless in your country people die at the age of 60, then you should be worried. Where I'm at, people usually die when they're over 80. I've recently talked to a neighbor who's 87 and she still looks healthy and walks by herself.

Of course I'm going to gamble at old age, just as I'm going to remain a bitcoiner forever.

I also think that we're coming back towards 30k, although when people start saying that we're going to go to this or that level, it usually doesn't happen.
When we were at 31k, people were talking about a bull market and 40k, but we went down
When we went back to 24k people were predicting a fall to 22k because if we used to be at 24, failed to start a bull market, then we must be going lower, and we know how that went
Now we're going up and people are certain we'd go back to retest 30k, but what if we won't because those that manipulate the markets are waiting for enough longs to be set so they can liquidate them?

I know, I'm a conspiracy theorist.

Maxine is one of those politicians who built their whole careers on organizing protests and marches, not to mention her ties to banks through her husband.
She's as corrupt as it gets, even had a n ongoing corruption case but that was swept under the rug.

IMO Bankster Fraud is more guilty than Ross, therefore should get a larger sentence, but he won't because there's no justice.

Anybody else think this price action looks a bit like the breakout above 10k in 2020?

You might not remember how years ago everybody googled Dorian Nakamoto, but one of the reasons for every scammer claiming to be Satoshi is exactly that - popularity.
Dorian wasn't a scammer, but his case showed these people how you can use people's curiosity. After all, we'd all want to know who Satoshi was.

Have you noticed that whenever someone claims to be Satoshi, the press writes about it? You can be John Doe from Farmerville claiming to be the founder of Bitcoin and suddenly you're on Coindesk, CNBC, and so on... If you're notorious like Craig, you're going to be on Forbes, Wall Street Journal and invited to TV interviews.
It allows these people to make money because their social media get hits, projects that list them as founders or advisors amass more followers, they can promote all the scams they want because they have a popular name that comes up when you perform google searches.

Definitely not for me. I wouldn't buy an electric car for many reasons, one of them being the way they're forced on us by the governments.

I'm going to be honest and say that whatever brand does that I'm not going to use the option anyway.
New cars depreciate extremely fast and often the more expensive the car is the more it depreciates. Check out stories of people who bought Bugatti and tried to sell them after a few years.
Then there's the problem of bitcoin price appreciation. If you get your wage in bitcoin, you might be interested in spending some on a car, but if you get paid in fiat, then convert that fiat to bitcoin to save upo and invest, you're not going to spend your bitcoin on a car when halving is around the corner.


I agree that Honda isn't really a luxury brand, but I'd say it is good news. Maybe not so big, but we need some of that positivity.
Even if this was some small Chinese brand that I'll never buy, I'd be happy because this goes in the news and people read about it. IMO it's a matter of time before Tesla accepts it again.

Don't worry, the media tried to portray it this way and make people believe that it's a scheme, a scam, then when they couldn't prove it they turned to calling it a bubble, a worthless collector's item that will fade away. Next, they were trying to appeal to your sense of justice, because why should some people become rich all of a sudden, when others are poor. Why should bitcoiners drive expensive cars, it's just not right! Then they tried to show us all as heartless people who waste energy.

Look how many angles off attack they found and none of them worked. Now the most recent one is regulation.
Fine, it's not a scam, not a bubble, it's 50% renewable energy, countries are adopting it... but it's all for nothing because it's going to get banned eventually and you'll all have to do KYC.

Welcome to the forum, better late than never!

As the halving gets close the psychological pressure continues to increase.

There's still a group of "what if" people and it's the same group that usually goes FOMO. The people who are like rubber bands that keep on delaying the decision until they can't stand it anymore. The type of people who save up and never do any shopping for a year and then go YOLO and get all the things they wanted throughout the year at one go. I'm sure you know someone like that.

So these "what ifers" are waiting with their money because what if there's a black swan again like in 2020? The closer we get to the halving the less likely this scenario will be and they will finally abandon the thought and get their hands on some bits but that's going to be 40k bits, not 10k like they hoped for.

Are you trying to hide the name of the casino, OP? Why is that? Are you afraid of being targeted by their staff?
We can do honest reviews here, but I understand if you want to keep playing there despite these restrictions and don't want to reveal the name for that reason.

Is coins.game the site we're talking about here?

IMO it's very strange for a casino to not accuse a player of illicit behavior and restrict him without any reason.

I've never had any problems with being paid to my casino accounts in signature campaigns, although I prefer to get money to my wallet because I don't have to pay any fees when transferring funds. Obviously, I sometimes may not want to play on the casino I advertise because there's a game or a match I want to bet on that's unavailable there. This is especially common when you promote a dice site and you rarely play dice.

We learn from our mistakes and you did just that, OP. If that's something you don't want to do, don't do it. I don't need others to warn me because I know what I'm doing, but good luck to you.

Love the answer.

In the 21st century we still shit into a hole in the ground when it's negative temperature outside, but you guys also have a problem with poor people!
Let's not try to deny nor fix the problem because someone in another part of the world has some problems too!

-Hey, dude, you still live in your mother's basement and watch porn all day at the age of 30!
-Yes, but people in Zimbabwe live in mud huts and run barefoot, so I'm not in the worst possible situation here.

If Russian military plans are as well thought and prepared as your arguments, you guys are done.

It's an argument similar to asking someone, if you don't like your job, why do you keep on working?

Most people can't stop using banks because their employer demands they have an account. In many countries (for instance the whole EU) an employee must have a bank account. You can pay your contractors in cash, but someone who's employed by a business can't be paid in cash.

I'd gladly stop using banks if I had a full time job that paid me in bitcoin.

This is just SEC propaganda. How did the SEC protect FTX investors? The SEC is clueless about bitcoin because if it's a commodity, it should fall under CFTC, but somehow SEC doesn't want to allow CFTC to regulate bitcoin and Gensler said that himself that he will not allow CFTC to override SEC authority, so in other words Gensler has the support of the Biden administration and wants to delay anything regarding bitcoin for as long as possible, even if that means delaying a commodity that he has no authority over.

There's a game being played here and I hope all of you can see it. They are delaying the inevitable, because bitcoin will still be here in 5 years, but Gensler will not be the chairman of the SEC and Biden will probably be in a state of severe dementia, or dead.

Kiyosaki is trying to sell himself, that's all. He makes a lot of strange predictions, this bubble, that bubble, dollar collapse. He's an older guy and hasn't really made a lot of money from any business. AFAIK he made most of his money when he became a self-proclamed advisor. Now he's treated like an expert and he can be really rude to other people. Check out this interview if you haven't seen it yet.

I think that he isn't really interested in crypto. He talks about it because it attracts views and these days as an business vlogger you must have an opinion on bitcoin.

I hate what people allowed running a business to become. We've allowed them to turn us into slaves drowning in paperwork and red tape.
You should be allowed to run a business whenever and however you want. If the business is inefficient, losing you money, scamming customers, it's all on you. If they come at you with pitchforks, there's nothing anybody can do to defend you.

Clients should demand full transparency from a business and if there's not enough of it, they should go somewhere else. That's how free market should work. Instead the business owner has to treat every customer like a potential criminal and act like the police on behalf of the government. This has to change.

How did you get here? Isn't it because you're still gambling online, which lead you to this forum and its gambling section?
The appeal is nice, but in reality young people who are not gambling, or just starting by betting popular sports, or spending a few bucks a week on dice, will not come here to read your post.

Beginner gamblers don't have time to read gambling forums and you won't be able to tell them anything. Hardcore gamblers will read your advice and understand they should be more careful and gamble less, but most of them won't do anything about it.

This?

Is this a big deal? It's futures after all, so paper contracts without any bitcoin changing hands.
I'd argue that having futures without spot is worse than not having futures at all.


I love how the price always does the opposite of what these analysts on crypto news sites say.
"Liquidations could be sending Bitcoin price higher" and a few hours later it dumps 1k lower

Are you saying that a Nazi ally is not Nazi?


You're confusing yourself. Where in that sentence do you see me saying that this was the only reason for the attack?

You don't need IT education to earn merit!
Just be yourself, try to be funny, participate in discussions. Half of the threads here have nothing to do with IT.


What do you mean? I sure do spend some of my free time here. There's a lot of interesting discussions here and people to argue with

These people are being exploited, but who is really doing the exploiting? The broker or the government, or maybe both?
If you're restricted from playing because of your government policies, it's the government you should blame for this, not the broker that charges you more for a chance to play. The choice is always yours.
You can stop gambling like a law obeying citizen. You can leave the country. You can try to fight by organizing protests... Or you can pay a higher fee and keep playing.
