Who cares? If he don't sell it is for his own good. It is nobody else's business. If he sells, well it is his loss. The longer he holds his coins the richer he will become. Sometimes though we all want to spend our wealth on the physical stuff like cars, houses, chicks etc... Saylor is a human being too so I wouldn't be surprised if he sells his coins to purchase something big like a private jet for example. Otherwise, I don't see him ever selling his coins. He is now a believer.

As long as they don't remove physical FIAT completely, this is a good move going forward. We all know that it is not going last forever though. Sooner or later they will make their move to remove FIAT from circulation and then this new CBDC network will become a digital prison. You can only escape it using bitcoin. Some people think CBDC's will make bitcoin obsolete. Actually it is completely the opposite. Bitcoin will become even more popular when people find out the bullshit they are being fed with FEDCOIN.

As long as you don't send them your private keys/seed words, they can't steal your coins from your public address. I don't think there will be any problems.

However, if they ask anything more "private", you should come to your senses pretty quickly and stop the conversation.

I agree with the users above, if you want to use a non-custodial wallet, use electrum. It is fast, works great and it is safe as long as you download it from the right source. >>> electrum.org

Just delete atomic wallet the moment you solved your problems with them.

Never ever use these 3rd party services that claim to generate "paper wallets". Paper wallet is nothing but a QR code printed on a piece of paper which has your private key. You can print or hand write your private key on a piece of paper yourself and it will instantly become a paper wallet. Or don't make it this complicated just write down your seed words. That's it.

To generate your seed words/priv keys, you should use a trusted wallet app like electrum/bitcoin core. I personally use electrum and never had a problem.

I would take that deal without the slightest doubt. It is because I am a casual gambler already I have no problems with this. I can stop gambling for the rest of my life, no big deal. $150k is a very good amount and I can use this money to make other investments. Hopefully you don't consider making investments (like stocks or real estate) "gambling" because lots of people do. For $150k I could buy lots of apple stocks and it is the best company in the world. Or I could simply hold them coins because bitcoin itself is a great investment. There are many potential choices.

I can tell you that owning your own business feels amazing. I know it because I own a business which prints money. It gets tiresome sometimes but at the end of the day nothing beats it when I pop a cold beer while counting my profits… Ok maybe having fun with girls in the middle of the ocean beats it but let’s just say this is the second best feeling a man can experience. Working for somebody else is a dead end. Always start your own if can.

Enjoying food and drinks is a whole different concept than making an investment. You shouldn't limit your entertainment too much just to make investments imo. It is always OK to save money to buy bitcoin but living like a plant will harm you mentally in the long run. I would never advise this to any of my friends. If you are not going to enjoy a good meal and some drinks every once in a while, I can't call that "living". It is more like being a slave to me and I can't live like that. Nobody should because we are all people. Obviously that doesn't mean that we should spend all of our monthly income on booze. I don't mean that. There should be a balance.

I probably learned everything I know about finance after I met bitcoin 10 years ago. It made me a better investor, a better businessman.

Thanks to btc I understood how the central banks are ripping us off by printing money out of thin air. I learned how the US is broke and China/Russia owns the world. I learned the importance of using hard money and that's bitcoin.

Still though, there is still a lot to learn. Bitcoin gave me a huge head-start but a scholar never stops to learn more.

I always think about the amount I will potentially lose first. I don't think about my potential profits. Because thinking about profits stimulates my greed and greed is the mother of all fuck-ups. When I think about my losses, I can limit my max. bet amount and when I do that, I automatically limit my potential losses and my problem solves itself that way.

If you think about your "potential" profits too much, it will make you wager more and more. Then when you get an unlucky streak going, you will lose a lot of money. I don't need that.

Every FIAT currency is in trouble, not only Euro. It is because FIAT has no hard supply cap like bitcoin. Every FIAT currency in history died because of this reason. People tried to use gold backed currencies but we failed because we cheat. Bitcoin is honest. The supply is limited and there will never ever be more than 21 million bitcoins in existence. If people dump their FIAT for BTC maybe the central banks will take notice and stop printing useless papers but that's wishful thinking. We know they can't stop printing because it is their job to do so.

It is because the games are designed that way. The casinos exist only for a reason: To make money. If you were making money in the long run, the casinos wouldn't exist because your loss is their gain. If you don't lose money, who is going to feed the casino business? That's right, it is nobody but you, the player. Btw that applies to luck based games too. Dice, rocket or whatever luck-based game you are playing today, they all have an house edge. The house edge ensures that the player will be the loser in the long run. If you don't like these conditions, then don't play.

I was in high school and most of my friends were betting on sports. At first I thought it was a stupid idea to gamble but then the greed took over. I wondered if I could get rich from gambling and I also started to bet on sports. I was doing my "research" on teams with my friends every day instead of studying math and shit. I won some then I lost some. Then I lost again. I was losing more than 50% of my bets and I saw that I wasn't making money when all things considered. Then I took a long break from gambling till the college. Then I started doing it again. I still don't overdo it but gambling casually which brings no harm.

Depends on the property and depends on the interest rate of the loan. You should choose whichever is more beneficial to you. What is the annual expenses of the property? Do you pay any taxes? The most important question is, does it make sense to sell it? Is it making you money or losing you money? What is the interest rate of the loan? Is it below the inflation rate or above it? Depending on the answers of these questions you can easily find a solution to your problem. I personally don’t sell any property in this environment but I am full of debt because I took every loan I could when the rates were low.

In an event like this, The casino will immediately think that you cheated them. They will lock your account and ask for KYC and that’s a natural first reaction. You would the same if you were in their shoes. If it is non-KYC/instant-withdraw casino we are talking about, then it is a whole different story because these casinos know that you can’t really cheat them in any way. They trust their code so you can win and leave right away and nobody will stop you.

This goes both ways. Mistakes that prevented our big wins are also prevented our big losses. In the past I experienced such events too but I was also grateful sometimes that I didn't wager more on some of my losing bets. I think what you describe wasn't a mistake because you didn't know the outcome of the game before it happened. You didn't want to take more risk for a reason: You could have lost that money. In hindsight, you are saying to yourself "I should have wagered more" but it wasn't all crystal clear before the game played.

That's a great step forward. Hopefully this will shut big blockers up. When LN gets adopted by every major player in the crypto industry, the first layer will become way more usable than what it is now. LN is for daily transactions and the base layer is a settlement layer for the big transactions. Thanks to LN, unlike the big block alts, bitcoin won't lose its decentralization aspect too. It looks like this is the only way to carry bitcoin forward. Finally these big institutions understood it.

Percentage-wise you are probably right. However, amount-wise rich are spending way more than the lower class probably. Rich people are rich for a reason, they usually don't play the games that are going to make them poor in the long run. (in other words they only play the games which they are going to win) That's called mathematics. The poor are usually dumb and they think they can game the system. Each of them think he/she is the one special snowflake. 99 times out of 100 that's not true as you know. Since the poor usually own anything (hence the name poor) they wager everything they get every month and that makes them even poorer.

If the interest rates are lower than the inflation rate, then borrowing money makes sense. It is because you can buy them real assets with the loaned money and make profits. That's completely legal and it is a way to game the system. Right now the banks in my country let me do this and I am getting rich because of it. Of course somebody else has to pay for it and they are those who couldn't get any loans from the banks. I doubled my wealth doing this last year and it worked. Thanks for the cheap money bitchezz

No staking is mostly a scam. I always advise against staking alts except for ETH because ETH is probably one of the best alts out there so staking it would be good for you financially.

The other alts are however simply scams so you are only wasting your time and money when you are staking them.

Why do that? Just buy bitcoin and hold. It worked before, it will work tomorrow.

I handle borrowers the same way I handle browsers. I don't give an inch. I don't compromise. There is a good saying in my country: "If you give your hand today, you will give your ass tomorrow."

So when a neighbor or relative asks a loan from me, I tell them go fu... no, I tell them to go to a bank. Banks exist for this reason. To provide loans...

If he/she can't borrow money from a bank, well shit, then it means he/she shouldn't be having it.
