What is not clear to me is where is the line that divides being punished for plagiarism or not, because apparently you can copy up to 7 times without being banned.

I say this not so much because of Dic3L0v3r , since it seems that his ban is fair, and it is not clear to me if he should be pardoned in some way, but because I don't quite understand the other case.

None of them AFAIK, apart from Blockchain Backer, of whom I had never heard.

I don't think many people were expecting the price to behave like this. We had all taken it for granted that this cycle was going to be a repeat of the previous ones and that, therefore, the price was going to go much higher than $70,000.

The youtubers also make more money in bull markets than in bear markets and I think that a mixture of desire and reality prevented them, if there was anyone who smelled what was coming, from making a downward prediction and unwinding positions.

Plus imagine if a famous youtuber had made such a prediction and announced he was selling, and he was wrong, that the price had gone to $200,000 or thereabouts. He would have made a fool of himself.

Another news item in this style, but with the recent price increase, items like this I think are more wishful thinking than reality. And mind you, I too wish the worst was over and the price was going up, but to mention $500,000 now is laughable, when someone predicted last year that we would be at that price as of today.

I also remember the famous "I will eat my dick on national TV" who made similar failed predictions.  FFirst of $1,000,000 and then $500,000 by the end of 2020.

We will get to $500,000 at some point but I don't think it is very unbiased to talk about it now.

I don't pay much attention to these analysts either. The $30,000 may or may not be the start of a bull run. And I rather think not, because there is nothing to indicate that we can beat $69,000 this cycle, it would be quite unlikely. Rallies from these levels, sure we will have, but bull run I don't expect it before the next halving.

I've just realized about this case as well. So, like one can get away with plagiarizing 7 times? Did he get a warning or something?

In this case I think it is a statistically anomalous winning streak, and that is why they have started to investigate it. I don't know Betfury but if it is a legit site, after checking that the OP has done nothing wrong (if so), they will refund the money.


Me too.

I think that's how most players do it, responsible. Either they have a pre-established threshold that they don't exceed, or maybe they exceed it a little but they are able to stop, leave and come back another day with a fresh mind to try their luck.

The problem is the problem gamblers, who don't stop at the limits and end up losing much more than they should.

I do not believe that history necessarily has to repeat itself in this way. We could go from breaking, say $25K to $60K in a couple of months, but given the current situation I see that as unlikely. We know that Bitcoin is capable of rising very fast but as the price and market cap rises, the rate of rise should tend to slow down.

I do believe that it is so in most countries at least, because what happens is that in those countries that do not have an explicit, specific regulation for Bitcoin, is that if you buy something for 100 and sell it for 200 you get charged capital gains tax (I am ignoring minimum exemptions here for simplicity of argument). So even if they do not have a specific law for such assets, what is clear is that when you obtain a capital gain and make profits, your country is going to charge you, because capital gains already apply to a variety of things, such as stocks, funds, bonds, precious metals or real estate, so from a legal point of view it is easy to treat Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the same way.

Yeah, I don't think this is the case here either.


I also agree with this, what happens is that six days seems to me an excessively long period of time for them to make a verification, nowadays in certain exchanges and fintechs they make almost instantaneous verifications.

The easiest way to make money in the stock market is to buy a fund indexed to the S&P 500 or a world fund. Normally people make contributions every week or month but if you have a lump sum to invest all at once you can also do it. You are much more likely to make money that way than picking individual stocks.

Probably because I used the same account for the loan repayment and to pay the fees. If he had used different accounts, he would have been able to pay the fees, but he would not have been able to avoid paying, because the loan app would have initiated a seizure procedure, which takes a while.

I believe he is referring to this:

Seeing your trust, it doesn't seem to me that you are to give moral lessons to anyone.

No for two reasons, firstly because I don't want to be restricted in my freedom to gamble if I want to and secondly because banning does not mean putting an end to gambling, it means moving it to the underworld where it is more dangerous for gamblers.

The best thing to do with gambling is to make it legal, well regulated and controlled.

People who have problems with gambling, which is often used as an argument to prohibit it, if gambling did not exist would have problems with something else, such as drugs or alcohol.

That's why I say. And it doesn't just happen with cryptocurrencies. When a company goes bankrupt there are always those who had invested everything in that company, or even borrowed money to invest. Pathetic stories, as in the article you link, which refers to a reddit post: :


Another reddit post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CelsiusNetwork/comments/vyi07y/my_life_savings_are_lost_and_ive_managed_to_ruin/

Some of these stories may be made up, but I'll bet most of them are true.

To store their life savings in one place and more like Celsius is pretty dumb but unfortunately when there is bankruptcy there are always stories of people claiming to have deposited their life savings there.

I guess many are blinded by the supposed profitability.

Well, in these cases it is not uncommon to see them deny the obvious until they can no longer hide it.

I think they don't care about investors. Having liabilities higher than assets, the assets will probably be liquidated at a bargain price, and the little that is taken out will be used to pay creditors, but those who had something invested there can take it for granted that they will lose at least a part and most likely lose a large part.

I did have an idea, as I have been curious about gambling. The OP has made a good summary but if you want more info you can google or Youtube. I particularly like the role mobsters played in the development of Las Vegas.

That's what I thought, the story already sounded incredible to me as I was reading it. It is one of the many stories that people make up in the forums.

In this case we are in a BTC forum, so a wonderful (and false) story about BTC.
