Definitely a great one but I do believe that their website could do more cleaning because it still looks like it's still 2003 and it looks to me like those old health magazines with pastel colors, if only I am knowledgeable in web developing or something related to creating website, I would've been able to offer my help for you although it's probably going to take me awhile to do it. That's pretty quick work of you to go from being heavily addicted to gambling then suddenly becoming a recovering addict by just having a set budget which I think is admirable but at the same time make me a skeptic that it's a possibility.

That's kind of ironic that there's a guide on how to have fun when in a sense, having fun in gambling is a subjective thing so I guess I don't see how it's a good or fun idea to have a guide. And I think that having fun in gambling kind of sounds like something that should already be known by anybody already since it should be a common sense to have fun if it involves something like gaming or gambling. That's a good analogy but a misleading one because there's more people that's going to that movie that's losing more money after they leave.

Well, that's obviously going to happen so it's only a matter of time what happens next, so it's in our best interest to just continue accumulating more bitcoin as much as possible. I have to disagree with you about this one though, this isn't the bullrun yet per se. It's more of a combination of historical price expectation, halving anticipation, and the expectations of the market on the ETF decisions so don't be discouraged yet not buying now because it's not the highest peak nor the start of bullish season yet.

Understandable concern but I can probably deduce why OP isn't sharing any details yet, I feel like OP is trying to make sure that there's someone that's going to answer that they have the ability and capabilities to do what he/she is trying to ask, if I am right about that deduction, I still don't think that OP should do that and that it's probably best if OP does share it now. I don't use Binance I am not familiar as to why they will block your account but given that it's a custodial wallet like app, I think that it's likely a KYC related incident. Hopefully what everyone's thinking the problem is will be the actual problem because it's definitely going to be a headache when that's not the case, might have to prepare for unforeseen results of recovering the money from your account which although unlikely might be a bigger headache for those that's going to fixing the system.

What do you mean by long though? What is the timespan that you're talking about that you consider to be long? Because time is relative for anyone and our definition long is a variation so I just want to ask the specific length of time. Maybe this kind of mindset of being afraid to hold your bitcoin for a long period of time is probably rooted in the fact that they're probably too focused on their bitcoin investment in that they don't have any other means to make money so they try to get profit at a short-term to sustain their daily needs.
I would agree with you about the union part though, your contributions will eventually pay off because you know that they're going to have your back. Subscription though, I feel like that's not how bitcoin is, subscription doesn't imply that you're going to get anything back out of your subscription fees from that services, bitcoin is more akin to a doomsday prepper saving tons and tons of salt, it might look stupid now but when everyone has a bland meal when the apocalypse happens, salt will be worth more than gold.

That's an awesome story, using your bitcoin to fund your wedding and make sure that the people who've attended your wedding will have a good time. I don't know if this is just me but I feel like these kinds of testimonies or reaping of the bitcoin profits is such a rare kind of post here in the forum. It's as if people are afraid if not ashamed to show what bitcoin has done for their lives which I can get given that we should remain anonymous and that we should be careful about sharing stuff online but I think that we can make some leeway for that and hope that we can see more. Make sure though that the story you're sharing is worthwhile like this one, not just shitty ephemeral happiness inducing event.

I don't care how you plan your investment strategy is but I implore you to just put all of it to bitcoin, be it DCA or just putting all of it in one go, just buy bitcoin because you're better off playing safe with your investments plus it's better if you aren't that frantic about investment in case things in the market isn't in your favor because with bitcoin, you can be sure that you are investments won't go down forever like a lot of shitty altcoins. But you have to understand though that for your investment to bear fruit and you can reap the profits, you need to be able to HODL for it on the long-term.

That's because those people that bought altcoins as a beginner wanted to try something different, they probably saw bitcoin to be a little bit intimidating especially in prices so they want to make bang for their buck and try cheap shitty altcoins so they can have the illusion of getting the right value for the money that they've invested. I totally agree that bitcoin is the best investment for beginners maybe even veteran investors because of how powerful the influence that bitcoin has and it's ability to continuously grow despite resentment from many traditional investors.
This is actually an awesome thing and a heartwarming one, converting the money you could've spent on your vices into bitcoin is something that not a lot has think of in terms of recovering from your bad habits.

That's the fruit of us being too complacent and giving the government and megacorporations too much power over the stuff that we as a consumers consume and now they got us by the balls and we aren't doing anything about it, I guess we have to be wary of our devices but if you're cautious about what you put online and what you do online then you're probably going to be just fine. Dude, even the techy person are paranoid like you because they actually know how those surveillance stuff works and how easy it is to do that to an individual phone let alone an entire network of people that's connected to the Internet.

Man, this is what happens when your signature campaigns have a strict ruling. People just reply to the same topic from different OP and end up spewing out the same thought because there's not much that changes from it, with this much people talking about retirement that's entirely paid with bitcoin, I'm a little bit happy that people are considering bitcoin for their retirement. I have to side with you about being paid in fiat in my pension because it's much more stable than bitcoin so it's the safest option but I guess having bitcoin put into your retirement savings seems kind of a nice addition maybe not as a total takeover.

Better off trading bitcoin because there's a guarantee that you're not going to lose money in the long-term comparing that to altcoins where you don't know whether the developers are going to go with their promises and that they won't do a rugpull on their new altcoin which happens most of the time with these people who just want to make a quick buck and not really invest in the project or deliver the promises they've given in day 1. If you can, try to avoid altcoins or if you can't avoid altogether then make sure that the people in the project of the altcoin have the proper credentials or even be able to do what they say they can do.

I guess this is the price we have to pay if we really want freedom because true freedom means that you can do anything no matter the moral implications is, so yes in a way bitcoin isn't perfect because it doesn't have a binary outlook on moral stuff, it's a grey area kind of thing where everything is permitted. You don't have to say that bitcoin isn't flawless, people already know those stuff and reminding them about it isn't really doing anyone any favor because it's not like they can't do much about those flaws.

These stuff that you've listed isn't the best of them all, these are temporary wallets for when you don't have a lot of bitcoin, check out the story of Mt. Gox so you can understand why people in this forum are afraid of storing their bitcoins in non-custodial wallet. As many others have said time and time again, "Not your keys, not your coins." Regarding the best kind of wallet for storing bitcoin, you can never go with cold wallets or any wallets that you can store in an offline storage.

Regarding the first one, you don't have to worry too much about the grammar part too much, as long as you are doing you're getting your point across then you're doing just fine, maybe consider grammar if you're an active participant in a lot of discussion, it helps but it's not a voluntary thing for you to be grammatically perfect, being perfect might even get you scrutiny for using an AI because of your too good to be true posting structure although it's not a taboo to use a grammar tool like Grammarly. Number 3 and 4 is going to be difficult for newbies to do because let's admit it already, a lot of people that have recently joined this forum aren't just here to learn about bitcoin and anything related to that, they're here to try and make money because they've probably heard that someone has been in this forum making money through stuff or they have a friend that's been in this forum for a long time now and they want to get into too and try it but then find it difficult to do because of the merit system.

I was supposed to be surprised about signature campaigns not being a thing that's started here in the forum but then I've read that this forum owns 40 million USD, talk about surprises. I do know that there's a lot of donators in the forum and that it's around a million at least but what I didn't know was this is the amount, are they all from donators to the forum though? And what are these insane amount of money used for?

Is it Stake's right to withhold the money from the banned account though? That's not the way it should be right if yes is the answer to my question because that's basically stealing someone's money with just extra steps. Now I don't care about the T and Cs of any casinos but wouldn't someone be able to take out their money without any problems? Can someone explain to me why casinos get away with this horrible practice and how is this a justified thing to do to people because that's still money stucked in a banned account. Make me understand why that horrible practice is a thing.

No bro, what I'd like to happen is the other way around, to have my pension be paid in bitcoins and be able to convert that bitcoin pension fund into fiat when I claim it at my local social security branch and given my belief in bitcoin that it's going to eventually cross the million dollar price point somewhere along my lifetime, I think that it's a win-win situation for me to do that but on the flip side though, some financial advisor would probably say to me that it's not a good way to save up for your pension and I do agree, even if you have a solid belief that bitcoin will never crash or be gone in your lifetime, you can never be wrong when you're playing it safe, always diversify.

I don't believe there's anything like that in existence because bitcoin in my opinion doesn't need to be that badly advertised. In a sense, this forum actually fits your criteria, the forum's got donators that help keep the lights on for the forum and many other things although this forum isn't technically an advertisement group, it stands as a pillar for the bitcoin movement especially since this was founded by Satoshi the bitcoin creator himself.

What you're trying to add right now, I think that it's going to complicate things, do you know about the adage one step at a time? I think that we should just let the beginners or newbies to experience first hand buying bitcoin, worrying about the prices is just a step I think they have to know when they finally bought bitcoin. Overwhelming them with all the unimportant stuff when they're just beginning with their journey will likely dishearten some of them.

The best time to buy bitcoin would be the time when bitcoin price is freefalling or during the bear season, I mean that's the time when people are panic selling hoping to cut their losses or just panicking entirely because a lot of them don't really like their investment going down in value. For me and maybe other logical people out there, that's the best time but you have to understand that when you buy at that time that the prices may continue to go down which will challenge your fortitude and mental endurance and if you know that you can survive that, you have to also know that you should just buy whenever you can and not wait for the lowest of that bear season because no one knows when and where it will bounce back.
