I support those answers about Binance. It's a very good exchange and no need for KYC but the limit is quite good. Dai probably is one of the good choice for decentralized stable coins. With those choices, you have a good exchange and you have chosen a decentralized stable coin. What do you plan? you'll just leave it on the exchange and trade from time to time if it's necessary? I'm sure you've heard the story about USDT freezing and blocking funds/addresses.
I would like to know more about USDT blocking addresses because as far as I heard and know they are the best stable coin right now along with the others I mentioned above. Did they freeze addresses for no reason? If so please tell me more.

By the way if I was there and had 10 BTC, I would just never convert them because the price is going ballistic and I don't see any chances of that slowing down.
They freeze addresses for specific reasons like hacked funds, stolen money from other people, it is a way to avoid it being sold in the market so the culprit can't benefit from it.
Read why it happened.
1. Tether Freezes $1.7M in USDT Stolen in Yearn Finance Exploit
2. Tether Freezes Millions of Dollars USDT in 40 Addresses Amid Regulatory Pressure

I'm happy for you if you have successfully sold your coins at a large profit and return. You deserve that if you've held for a long time. That's the strategy these days that, whenever you see the coins you hold in bad state, you don't have to sell it if you trust and believe on it. Just keep it and hold for more months or years or at long time depending how long you can endure the pain looking at the value of your coin. But once it starts to pump, it's worth the wait. Although this don't happen for most coins.

The government officials are not that more concern with bitcoin transactions, it's irreversible and it's hard to track but, what they are concerned about is the tweets that's generating a huge noise in the internet world made by Elon. It's very manipulative and I don't know if there are other financial institutions that have already called the attention of the body of government that's assigned for it. What are those "new instruments" that you have? can you cite example?
Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have again become a fashionable topic on the news agenda, but still it will not be able to continue indefinitely and then there will be a decline in interest again. Elon Musk is very fond of flirting with fire, not only in the case of flamethrowers, and I'm afraid that he again has problems with regulators, similar to those that concerned Tesla shares. As for the new instruments, I did not mean absolutely new ones, unique to bitcoin, but quantitatively more instruments, similar to ETFs, futures, etc.
As long as there are influencers that have been showing their interest on it to the public, the interest will remain as it is. Thanks, I know understand what does it really means.

I do believe that bitcoin becomes a great topic to discuss every few years but I also believe that people who got in during these bull runs are a great thing for us since not all of them leaves neither, some of them stays, which means we continue our path with more and more people and that is why the next bull run takes us to even higher places.
Most likely, we stay. But for those short term folks, they tend to sell most that they've got and happily taking their profits before it will be taken by the market again.

The best tip is to contact them and tell this to them. They can track back logs of your trades and activity of your account. If they have found some unusual on your logs then you're right there's something wrong with them.
Before posting this thread, did you reached out to them?

Problem is likely that your Coinomi wallet is not updated. They always have updates and whenever you're unable to transact, you'll have to download the latest version on their website.

Conomi just receive ETH but don't send.
Just update the latest version and do the transaction after the download and update.

That's more of an interest rather than staking rewards. I have no idea how they generate profit from those users that stakes/saves their bitcoin into those exchanges. What exchange do you use for that earning feature? From what I've seen in few exchanges, that's likely to be 4.5% PA for bitcoin staking.
6048  Economy / Economics / Re: Financiers would never invest in bitcoin? on: February 21, 2021, 09:58:09 PM
Well, I agree on that. It's like testing the waters for many years before they get involved in it. They just can't trust a disruptive technology that was just made a few years ago and they would put millions to billions on it. These financiers and other related businesses are all for the money, they don't want to burn money and also securing that they get the minimum risk for that potential profit that they are about to make. But thanks to our Doge CEO Elon Musk that have waken them up although there were other financial institutions that have been doing it but only lacks of publicity.
Let us not forget that financial institutions rely on the instructions of state financial regulators, so it is not only caution and distrust that have caused their actions. Elon Musk's recent actions have certainly stirred up this sleepy financial realm a bit, but there are also some concerns from government officials about the regulation of such bitcoin transactions. The financial market is also waiting for the approval of new instruments for cryptocurrencies similar to other financial instruments.

6050  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance Smart chain ( BSC) VS Ethereum (ERC-20) on: February 21, 2021, 03:01:00 PM
If the ETH developers are just making it happen as soon as possible before this bull run, fees wouldn't be a problem today. But you know what, even if ETH is on its development to 2.0 to solve a lot of things. People today won't think about its attributes with BSC as long as they pay the lowest fee that they can fee and save a lot from it. That's the important matter that's everyone thinking and just ignore the other attributes that you have shown.

All other attributes can be minimized if we are paying high gas fees like what Ethereum is currently charging. Ethereum has become like an inutile platform to me, they know the problem and may have been experienced it themselves, yet they are just staring at it offering no solid and time-bound assurance for all of us. I would gladly be transferring to BSC just for the lower fees, don't care if it is centralized or not. BSC is getting more popular every day and there can be more new projects using it.
Well, they are doing something such as the 2.0 for it to scale and solve the current problems that it has. The problem about congestion will always be the problem of other chains. Even if the new ones don't get to experience it yet, it's going to be the same as Ethereum. I still remember it before when everyone talks about how cheap transactions are with Ethereum. But when there's a huge wave of transactions and it became a preferred payment of others, that's where it all started to become congested which resulted to higher fees.

It could be, as for investors, they're for the diversification and whichever they see is profitable for them, they'll come and go sacrificing the other investments just like the stocks if they think it's going to work for them.

57,268 at the time of this posting...

The average price estimate...the average I'm reading from many sources is.... $100k in 2021

and 250k within 5 yrs.
Those are the high price predictions that we've been hearing this early of this year. I also look forward for the end of this year or even if it's not the end of the year but to the price that it can take as high as $100k. It's no longer doubtful prediction because of what we see.
6053  Economy / Economics / Re: Financiers would never invest in bitcoin? on: February 20, 2021, 09:24:09 PM
The reality is that I do not think they are "changing their minds" about crypto, they just waited until they could get into crypto without disturbing the market as a whole, because if they got into bitcoin 3-4 years ago (or earlier) the market cap was so small and volume was so little that they couldn't buy too much since it would take the price super high and they couldn't sell because it would take the price very low.
Well, I agree on that. It's like testing the waters for many years before they get involved in it. They just can't trust a disruptive technology that was just made a few years ago and they would put millions to billions on it.

6054  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you have a Bitcoin exit strategy? on: February 20, 2021, 08:27:21 PM
You don't have to exit but when you do, make sure that you have no regrets. But as always, it's a free market that whenever you exit, you can always go back at your will. I have made mistakes in the past of selling at the early stage and that's not a small amount to spare for my feeling but I've just learned that it's best to keep yourself on track or leave a portion that you're likely to pursue and continue holding no matter how much you take for profits.
Take your profits if you really need them and you need to buy something for yourself. A car? then sell but I'll choose only to spend not more than 50% of my total holdings.
6055  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you think the price of neo will reach $ 200? on: February 20, 2021, 07:22:53 PM
I should say that everything is now possible with the crypto market. Those prices that you're ever imagining if it's possible, you only have to look at its current price and see how much it has to multiply. And with NEO, it only takes around more than a bit of x4 for it to reach $200.
I'm not a holder of NEO but just as is in crypto, everything is likely. A sleeping altcoin can wake up and have its own bullish run and I'm not only particular with the coin asked but to almost everything that has large liquidity.

It is a big step for Stake.com to have him as their brand ambassador. IIRC, there's also a sponsorship or brand deal from sportsbet.io for Watford FC. 
Sportsbet are sponsoring multiple teams as far as i know and Stake stepped up the game by making Israel Adesanya their brand ambassador and i would like to know how much they are paying him, sportsbet is paying millions of dollars for each of the sponsorship and i am not sure what will happen with the new regulations in UK that the teams cannot sponsor gambling sites.
I doubt that you can even get a glimpse of contract or know how much they would be paying. Might be a good idea to have some estimation but the actual price, it's none of our business and they won't disclose it how much they have signed for the contract for the sponsorship and brand ambassador. Well, for the regulation in UK prohibiting teams to have sponsors that are related to casinos, there will be debates about it from the participating teams who have sponsors as what they're talking about and it would be a big loss to them if they ever do that.
It had been mentioned they would be paying him for this partnership in bitcoin.
So it is both good advertising for the cryptocurrency and for the sport who are involved.
Just like for the EPL with them putting the BTC symbol on their sleeves and also on their chest near their clubs logo.
Wow, I didn't know about that. Thank you. I only knew one athlete that agreed to accept his salary in bitcoin and that was Russell Okung. That news made rounds in the web and to both communities of NFL and bitcoin too.

Once the words he said, stake.com is the world's leading crypto betting platform, and he is proud of the partnership. It's totally win-win for stake.com and being a lot of benefits in the future.
And we that just like to have advertisement for bitcoin, we're also winning on this. Symbol of bitcoin is shown in the entire world with their focused sports.
6057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Gambling Weekly on: February 19, 2021, 10:13:24 PM
It is undeniable that before it was the gambling sector, the crypto casinos are one of the main reasons why the massive adoption is happening. But it's different this time and it's the institutions that are having the FOMO of buying bitcoin. As we look to the prices right now, it's one of the highest again, the $55k has been reached surprisingly and didn't expected to be that fast. The tweet of bitcasino purchasing Tesla, I hope that it will be granted by Elon Musk. That's going to be one of the best deals ever that we're going to see in the history if it happens.

yes, that's right. before, in the early days of crypto, gambling is one of the major markets of crypto. they are actually one of the earliest adopters of crypto. and up until now, a large population of crypto users are still into gambling app. but yes, crypto is now entering into financial industry as financial institutions are heavily investing their assets into crypto. which is the reason why we are seeing very good price movements in the market.

btw, with regards to weekly updates. this is nice! hopefully, you can sustain your enthusiasm to write every week. these updates may give a hint or two to some players here.
That's why we cannot neglect the contributions of the crypto casinos that have been existing during those days and applause to those that are still operating up to this moment. They're one of the services that made bitcoin as a usable currency while many were still in doubt on those days, they just did their thing and accepted it and even made it just for it. They're still existing and also helping to keep the adoption while the institutions just came in, we've got another help from them.
6058  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In the early days of Bitcoin ... on: February 19, 2021, 09:19:21 PM
That's the same thought as a few years ago when bitcoin hits three digits. But past is past and those were just the good old days for bitcoin. Many weren't serious of what they're mining and the difficulty isn't that much until it had gained traction. Just like this guy[1] when he was mining through his laptop. You'll get an idea how plenty they can mine during the early days.
[1] Man accidentally threw away $127 million in bitcoin and officials won’t allow a search

Stories like these are a living proof that you should diversify your assets. Don't store all your eggs in one basket.
The main lesson is to keep a back up for your private keys. The guy has been mining for a long time and that were during the early days of bitcoin. So, he's not really into investing by that time but through mining it and paying for the electricity used for doing it. He probably forgot to create a backup for his bitcoins and there were a lot of the same situations and stories like this. Because in the early days of bitcoin, no one actually have thought that it would grow as big as it is today so, they're not that sensitive and alert to keep backups for themselves.
