It's true that mixers aren't designed for money laundering, but due to their potential for obfuscating transactions, people often assume they are used for that purpose. I wonder how many mixers have been shut down or had funds seized by the government. Unfortunately, these actions can tarnish the reputation of the entire industry, if we can even call it that.

However, those who have a good understanding of Bitcoin know that it's not completely anonymous anymore. Once the source address is known, it becomes easier to trace transactions associated with a specific account. There are individuals who highly value their privacy, especially if they hold a substantial balance in their wallet. They don't want their funds to be easily traceable. That's where mixers come into play, offering a way to enhance privacy. Still, it's important to note that mixers can't prevent malicious actors from using them, as mixers don't typically investigate the source of funds.

In my quest to understand more about mixers, I did some research, and here's what I found.

The way I understand it, they want mixers to comply with specific requirements before they can be considered legal. However, are there any mixers currently in operation that are legal?

First, it's crucial to understand the KYC requirements of a casino. The amount you win doesn't really matter because each of us has our own betting range in gambling. If you win and the casino asks for KYC information, including documents to verify the information you provided, it shouldn't come as a surprise. When you signed up, you should have already read the Terms of Service, where this would be outlined.

However, there are cases where a casino promises complete anonymity and then suddenly requests KYC when you've won a substantial amount. In such instances, you should be cautious and consider the possibility of a potential scam. Nevertheless, you should also consider the site's reputation. If it's reputable and has a lot to lose in terms of its reputation, then it's generally safe.

With $70,000, there are plenty of things you can do to improve your future, so why not.

Upsets do happen, but they're not a frequent occurrence. So, as a bettor, you'd usually pick the better fighter to win. However, when you're supporting your fellow countryman boxer, it's a different story. You might not objectively assess who the better fighter is, as your decision could be slightly biased.

I don't wanna be bias with my recommendation so I suggest you look at this section, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0.... judge it for yourself, read some feedback to know if a certain sportsbook is reliable or not. You can also check the OP's profile to see about it's specific feedback, red means negative trust, bad feedback.

That's what he should be saying if he wants to hype up this fight, you know? He knows he's not up against a big-name opponent, so convincing fans to tune in can be tough. But if he starts making some noise and claims his opponent is worthy, that could get people interested. Shakur is the clear favorite according to the bookies; it seems like a one-sided match, and they predict an easy win for him. So, for the regular fans, they might think this fight won't be as exciting as advertised. That's where promotions come in – more trash talk and hype might be just what this fight needs to succeed, I guess.

Cash out when you hit your target, continue playing when you haven't.

That's the fundamental principle to abide by. Before you begin gambling, it's essential to set a specific winning target because without one, you'll be playing aimlessly. Your emotions might deceive you into continuing even after you've accumulated a substantial amount. Eventually, frustration may set in when you face losses.

Sometimes, during a winning streak, consider it your lucky day and recognize when it's time to cash out. Even lucky gamblers can run out of luck, especially if they prolong their play. Remember, there's always another day to come back and try your luck again. Enjoy your winnings and return tomorrow.

The issue with some folks is their lack of patience; they want immediate profits in a short time. However, we all know that Bitcoin doesn't guarantee that, given its unpredictability. We could endure a bear market for three years or even longer before the next bull run. Without patience, this approach might not work for these kinds of investors.

Additionally, there are those who seek fixed monthly returns. Instead of investing in Bitcoin, they opt for something like a Ponzi scheme because it promises consistent returns, ultimately falling victim to a scam. In the end, they blame Bitcoin for being a fraudulent investment. It's quite unfortunate that some people fail to grasp what they're getting into.



Playing around with figures can be pretty tough. I think my calculations might be a bit unrealistic. So, why not consider allocating a fixed percentage of your income, be it from your job or business? Let's say you set aside 5% of your income for Bitcoin investment, and you don't touch it until you're satisfied with its value.

I'm talking about a long-term investment, maybe 20 years or even more. Who knows, it might eventually pay off, and you could end up with a substantial Bitcoin fortune that you can pass on to your family. Life is full of uncertainties, so it's wise to prepare for the future. In case our economy takes a plunge, having Bitcoin in your portfolio can be a hedge since it's not tied to any one country's economy. It's likely to survive and its value should keep rising as long as demand continues to grow.



As I mentioned in my earlier reply, I believe it would be wise to base this on monthly income. I think a 5% allocation is reasonable. As your income increases, you can also increase the amount of your investment. It's important to ensure that, as long as we're living without financial problems, we allocate for our future. This isn't just for us but also for the people we care about.

In the future, we can't predict what might happen in the world, and with ongoing conflicts in some countries, it's a reminder that peace and order can't be maintained all the time. We've seen the economic impact of war. If we rely solely on fiat currency for our savings, we could end up like other countries that have experienced hyperinflation. Given these potential problems, Bitcoin can serve as a hedge because it's unlikely to depreciate as drastically as fiat.

There's only one reason to consider banning Bitcoin, and that's if a government doesn't like it. Because if they do appreciate Bitcoin, they'll find a way to regulate it. It's really a choice between the two – either ban it or regulate it.

While some countries have chosen to ban Bitcoin, it's essential not to worry too much. Many countries have opted to regulate it, and that's a reason to be optimistic about Bitcoin's future. Governments that currently ban Bitcoin may change their stance in the future, especially when they see the widespread adoption and the potential for tax revenue. After all, Bitcoin knows no boundaries. When properly regulated, it can lead to economic improvement in a country.

We're in the digital age, and even in economically challenged countries, people can find online job opportunities and get paid in Bitcoin. This can be a solution to address unemployment and underemployment issues. Countries willing to outsource jobs can save on costs, and at the same time, they can benefit the poorer countries where the cost of living is lower.

Governments should consider these opportunities, rather than simply banning Bitcoin because they don't like it. Banning it would mean depriving people of a chance to improve their financial well-being and contribute to overall economic growth.

Acquiring Victor Oladipo doesn't seem like the right move to me. Oladipo's not the same player he used to be; he's been battling injuries and didn't make as much money as he could have after turning down that max deal from the Pacers, if I remember correctly.

Now, as for Kevin Porter Jr., he might be out for the season, but looking at his stats with 19.2 points per game, which was an improvement from the last season, I don't see why no team would want him. Don't forget, he's still young at 22 years old, so we can definitely expect more from him in the future.

Even with fake news, as long as the market is already on a bull run, it won't mess things up much. The bullish trend will just keep on rolling. That ETF thing has been making the rounds in rumors for a while now. I reckon those rumors help fuel the bullish sentiment because people are used to hearing about it. In the long run, it could have a significant impact on the market.

But speaking of hype, it usually hits harder when the rumors are fresh and exciting. You know how they say, 'sell the news' because by the time it's official, the hype might have worn off.

Women generally aren't as inclined to take risks as men. They tend not to experiment as much, unlike men who are often eager to explore new ideas and investments for potential future gains.

Kudos to OP for being a stand-up guy! He shared his Bitcoin wealth with his wife, even though he acquired it before their marriage. Many others would simply keep it and only share what they earned during the marriage, which is, by law, considered conjugal property.

Due to market inflation and various economic factors that might change in the long run, I guess it's good to have an interest in long-term investment. Some people quickly dismiss investing in Bitcoin because they want to own 1 BTC right away, but when they realize the price of Bitcoin is not cheap, they change their minds. So, this weekly commitment to investing in Bitcoin is better than doing nothing at all.

Based on my calculations, if you stick with $20 a week, you would end up investing $20,857 in 20 years. However, the value you'll be holding at that time is likely to be higher than that. So, if you were to get a 10x return on your initial investment, that's $200,000, which I think is a good outcome compared to not having that money at all. The $20 was just a sample amount, though. You can always go higher, take on more risk, perhaps invest $100 per week or more. Since we can make our own calculations and predictions, our target should be something that we find fulfilling.

Maybe most women, but you're lucky to have a special girl who also likes and understands Bitcoin at the same time. Bitcoin is not a typical investment, so it's not surprising that some may not be interested in it. I even saw a show once where they conducted a social experiment, interviewing a random girls and asking them to choose between 1 bitcoin and $100. Most of them chose $100 because they didn't know what Bitcoin is and its value; they went for instant money.

Anyway, congratulations on your marriage. May you both live long and prosper, just like your Bitcoin holdings. It's nice that you both have your holdings, providing additional security for your future. Good luck with holding and your marriage.

That's a good start when you aren't comfortable enough in life. I think $10 a week is very affordable. Consider it a long-term investment, maybe over 20 years if possible, as you never know how much it will grow during that time. We do spend on our personal wants, so I believe we can minimize expenses and redirect that money into investing in Bitcoin. When investing consistently on a weekly basis, all we have to do is remain optimistic, so we'll continue to be inspired. If the time comes that we earn a decent income from either our job or business, we can always increase our investment for better future holding.

This thread is all about HODL, but when we hold, we should always aim for profit. So, we might as well reward ourselves for making good choices in life. As mentioned earlier, having a job or business, who knows what we're holding in 20 years could become a retirement fund, and then we can retire financially free. Just manifesting the future here.

That's the easy part, but it's not really challenging, is it? I think the real challenge comes when you're consistently winning on a gambling site, to the point where they might ban you because you're affecting their business finances negatively. It's definitely possible, even though I haven't experienced it personally. However, I've read numerous stories about gamblers who have made a fortune through gambling, and that's inspired me to give it a try.

Unfortunately, I'm still in the trying phase, and success hasn't come my way just yet.

Jrue Holiday isn't Damian Lillard; he's not the star that the team needs to complement Jimmy. Jimmy Butler is carrying the team, and they're looking for a superstar who can perform at the same level as Jimmy. I don't think Holiday is on the same level as Jimmy; he even struggled depending Jimmy during the playoffs. The Heat saw his weaknesses and decided not to pursue him I believe.

The Heat were unlucky not to get Lillard, despite his interest in playing for them. But maybe if Lillard doesn't work out with the Bucks, the team might let him go, and Giannis could leave, creating an opportunity for the Heat to get Lillard. For that to happen, we hope the Bucks will struggle this season.

Bitcoin cannot be fully compared to running a company in the real world. In traditional business, you need stability in your income to be confident about the future success of your enterprise. However, when it comes to Bitcoin, it's more like riding a roller coaster. You experience both bullish and bearish seasons, yet you still have to hold, with the goal of selling your Bitcoin at a certain high price. If this kind of roller coaster ride were to happen to your company, it wouldn't be a good sign; businesses are at risk of going bankrupt under such conditions.

Surpassing $30k is possible by the end of this month. It's still early, with 14 days remaining, and you know how quickly the bulls can change the market, sometimes in less than a day – it has happened before. It seems like the bullish sentiment is already here, so why not aim for a higher price? After all, $30k has been achieved many times before.

I'm actually expecting even more, but probably in the following months to come, especially in December, the holiday season. During this time, people love to buy and follow the hype of the bulls, if you know what I'm saying.

You don't need to relate to what actually happened based on what the OP shared. The fact that an agent is involved, they could be blamed for mishandling money, and yet the shop could continue to operate. It's easy for them to blame one of our agents for fraudulent activity. You can sue the agent, but the shop might keep going. They can come up with excuses and not necessarily take measures to prevent it from happening again.

Now, let's compare this with a gambling site. Say you're gambling on a reputable and popular one. If they don't pay your winnings, you can always make a scam accusation against their them. Since you'd get people's attention, both gamblers and potential gamblers, it could damage their reputation significantly. Regardless of the amount of money you complain about, the damage is substantial because you're attacking their reputation in the process.

Think about it this way: you could accuse them of stealing your $100, but if they're a major gambling site, they might lose $1 million due to your proven scam accusation. So, I think they wouldn't want that to happen in the first place because it would mean hurting their business. In the event they scam, it wouldn't be for one person only; they'd most likely be looking to pull an exit scam.

Nobody would check your wallet if they didn't know about it. Online wallets are quite common these days, but there's a risk of them getting hacked through malware that could steal your key. It's important to be cautious when using online wallets. Personally, I have a few online wallets, each with different accounts, and I understand the risks involved.

To minimize these risks, I use a dedicated computer solely for accessing my wallet. This computer isn't used for my regular activities, like browsing social media or visiting websites I enjoy. I'm aware that there's a risk of being tempted to download applications or click on links that could potentially infect my computer with malware.
