I did not say that we should not talk about this topic, I just said that it is not a good idea to talk about it in a way that it encourages others to pursue gambling in the hopes that they might be able to make some money or get lucky. I do not necessarily agree with you about the encouraging part on why this discussion exist since I believe this discussion exists as a means to share information and such, encouraging means that you are promoting gambling and the forum clearly says that they do not endorse any kind of businesses here but to each of their own, if you think that this discussion exist to encourage gamblers then that is on you.

I do not know about that, it is not really a good thing to talk about because this kind of headline is just going to encourage people to gamble more because they believe that they can do what that person do when it is clearly not how they made that money in sportsbetting, they are probably if not most likely a rich person that can afford to lose a lot of money and shrug it off so they spend it on betting, sure there are ways that you can maximize your wins and can make you a millionaire through parlay but that is an unlikely thing to happen and to win a million in parlay, you probably need to put in a considerable amount of money. It is not worth risking your money to betting because there is person that was able to make a lot of money in betting, you are not those people so if you think that you can do it then you are in dire need of a reality check.

That bankroll logic is not foolproof though, say it is 100k bet for a rich man and he's got a 1m bankroll which and the highest win that he can get is 2x only meaning that he can only get 200k at best when he wins which means that one win is not enough to recoup the losses if we are basing on how much they are betting. Even if we magnify the bankroll, it is going to be the same thing although in terms of duration of playing, the rich man's bankroll is going to be an advantage.

That is why you should always practice what you preach just because you have said something does not mean that you are immune to all that stuff that you are against and so you end up being complacent about this kind of things and you forgot what you are telling others to do. It is a good thing that your loan did not involved illegal entities like gangs or loansharks because if that was the case, you are definitely in a bigger trouble than what you are experiencing right now with the bank, the banks can never cripple you if you do not pay their loans so you are still relativity safe and hopefully you will be able to recover from this, no one deserves to stay in this trap because they are a gambler.

My guess is that we are running out of fresh topics to talk about that is connected to gambling and so we try and be creative and even get dumber so we can squeeze out more potential topics to talk about kind of like smashing the rock to find a drop of water. I guess when you are trying to be something here in the forum, you take your chances and do what you must do.

I am not a lawyer but I too can understand that if that's what they are doing then if there ever was a case that the people that got their accounts locked out would try and file a lawsuit and they didn't do the pop up or reminder about the KYC then the plaintiff would be able to argue that their clients did not know that it is a mandatory thing and that they could also argue that the casino could have done their due diligence of doing a reminder, people on the Internet are forgetting the most basic about selling a product or services, that they should always assume that their customers are stupid and that they should be able to tell them how their product and service work in the simplest of terms you know 'Keep it simple stupid'.

You can be of big help posting also in the Scam Accusations board of the forum, and it is going to be a big help too that you will list the names of the fraud that you are investigating if you are allowed to share, helps you in attracting potential complainants since they might see specific fraud investigations and they might see the ones that have wronged them. What do you exactly do anyway? I feel that you are a bit too vague about what you do, I am a bit slow on the understanding of stuff so explain it like I am still in highschool.

Probably the best thing to do for OP, I have done some of those Wix and Squarespace before and you need to have some sort of coding knowledge at the least to make it work or understanding how to design a website because, the drag and drop function of these website design platform is not totally true. WordPress definitely is a good one but OP needs to learn basic HTML5 and CSS to do some decent simple website on that if I recall correctly. And also OP, if you plan to design just a simple website then you are going to be fine with hiring someone because it is not a complicated ask for the web developer you might hire.

I think that you are focusing too much on the negative things here, you have achieved what a lot of us are aspiring to do with our bitcoins and I think that the result of your hodling bitcoins should be your focus, you can still get back in bitcoin anyways and that family business that you have helped improve if not upgrade is a good way for you to get a return in investments, maybe you can ask for some of the profits in that business to be invested in bitcoin again, I am sure that your father will not mind giving you some. @bayu7adi is right, you did not do bad the positive impact outweighs the sadness that you are feeling about losing your bitcoin to use for the stuff that you have mentioned, cheer up and remember that you will still be able to get back to bitcoin.

A bit off the mark, the inflation will not stay the same, it is going to get worse because that is how an uncontrolled inflation operates, the more your banks print paper money, the more you are going to devalue your currency. Definitely better off using USD or Euro but these solutions are temporary because they are not a US territory and they are not a part of the European Union so it is not the best fix. I do not know much about Milei but there is going to be a lot of things that he has to change and those change are going to be met with some resistance from those that have benefited from the old system. I hope that his friendly terms with bitcoin is accompanied by actions because if a lot of people thinks that bitcoin might be able to help Argentinians to combat the inflation, I guess that Milei using his position to create laws or policies that are bitcoin friendly is a must watch thing right now.

It is the same for me, I don't check it often, I can not even remember the last time that I have checked my seed phrase, it is safely stored already in a piece of paper on my favorite book and I have all the necessary information written on it so I know the purpose of that piece of paper in case I forgot what those series of words are about. I do not really understand the reason for constant checking of the seed phrase, will it suddenly change the next time because I did not check on it regularly? Of course it will not happen so there is no point as to why I should do that.

Maybe because this price surge is just half of the last ATH so they really can not care enough to sell right now when they know that there is a possibility that they can profit more if they just wait just a little bit more then they will get more profit and combining that with the halving that is coming next year, I am sure that those factors are what is making people continue holding on to their bitcoins, it is more likely that people are buying more right now to increase the amount they are currently hoarding. I would not say that these people that you are talking about are hesitant to sell, maybe they just have a target price or that they do not like this price to sell because of the possibility that it will go up even more before going down.

Even with ETH, I am not that convinced that it will make me not regret investing, bitcoin has not failed me so far so I will just put all my money on it no matter what because I am better off profiting in bitcoin as much as possible than splitting my investments in different altcoins that are full of uncertainties. Maybe other users have the heart to be able to do that but not me, the lesson learned is just too expensive for me. If I had that amount, I would probably just allocate 1k USD in ETH only and then try to wait for bitcoin to go down again so I can get a good value out of the 29k that is left or what is going to be left when I spend some money for the stuff that I want to buy for a long time now.

This I can agree and not just with altcoins, everyone is encouraged to do the same with bitcoin, just invest what you can afford to lose. This advice is a timeless one because it is the truth and it is making sure that you are not going to go overboard with your investing journey and at the same time makes you balance your needs for investing to save for the future and having some money to spend for the present. That is why I do not go for altcoins now, the potential of it being a rugpull is just too much and it sucks that you are going to be the one that will be gullible to give them your money.

Dude, you do not want the rich people getting away with all the profits, it is not a big deal to you because the government is not getting a lot of taxes from you but when it comes to businesses and rich people, taxes are in millions or in billions so it is a big deal if you are in the government, not to mention that criminals can get away with all the money that they have taken when they launder their money to make it look legitimate, instead of a total asset seizure, they will only pay taxes. Regards to how the crypto space is taking it, it seems to be nothing to them because if you look at the price of bitcoin right now, it is not going down that low and even if it goes down, it eventually recovers the next day. What I am worried is how the Binance will move with the new CEO Richard Teng.

The security of most wallets are the greatest bane as it is the greatest boon for many people, with the security they applied, you are secured that no one is going to be able to brute force your wallet and that your bitcoin is safe stewing away in the wallet but the problem is that as years go by of hodling, you as a human being are going to be experiencing a lot of different and new things and those experiences will be memories and with those getting in your head some of these people eventually need space for those new memories although it is not really removed entirely, it is muddled with your other memories and we know that when we use passwords that frequently, we will not have a problem remembering but in the case of bitcoin wallets that you do not usually use to log daily, you eventually forget the password unless you have been using the same password for all your accounts then you do not have a problem. A piece of paper can help you remember but at that time when bitcoin was still not worth a lot, people did not really mind taking notes of their passwords.

Do not compare yourself to exchanges and financial institutions because they have a lot of money and investors. Accumulate what you can and never lose track of your goal and how you do your thing because if you compare yourself to a tiger and you are just a mouse, it will only make you look stupid and at the same time it might cost you something dearly so always know that you have a limit and that each has a place in the market, the only difference with us and these exchanges is that they are a group of people except Satoshi but that can be debatable.

I have tried Blender and I am telling you that you that it is already one hell of a project there, I have used it and I do not have the patience to do the sculpting and shaping of the 3D models and at that time I do not have a really good computer so that added to my frustration since Blender needs a lot of computer space to be able to run smoothly. It is difficult to believe that you are a beginner to Blender so if you really are a beginner, I hope you take that as a compliment.

I do not know if I am eligible but it say free raffle so I hope I can get in. Thanks if I am accepted and thanks again if I am not accepted, cheers to you Boss @krogothmanhattan, you also have the coolest name.

Definitely the worst which means that OP is desperate to look for one, I do not think it is even appropriate for you to look for that high position in this forum, this should only be a hub for services that are more on the low level positions. What you have recommended can definitely work, there is a lot of conferences that you can attend to if you want to expand your network although it depends on where you are from because the bitcoin scene might not be that big in your country or locality.
