it hàs now becomes a torn in one's side to convincingly know for sure which is a non kyc casino and which one is not. If a casino claims not to request for kyc when in the process of registration they should maintain the status quo of their claim to the end and not when a player made a win after depositing that's when kyc policy requirements are made known to the gambler, for me that's insincerity on the part of the casino.

 There are people that are not comfortable sharing their data and in such circumstance you're forcing them to go against their own policy of wanting to live a private life. If they had wanted to share their data at liberty in the initials they wouldn't be seeking for a no KYC casino to register with. Hiding kyc policies from new intended users is not a reputable way of attracting customers it gives a casino a negative repute after these customers finds out they have been deceived.

just an emphasis on what @mk4 said, for any business transaction to occur there must be buying and selling. If all bitcoiners (holders) had to sell their bitcoin it would be accumulated in other bitcoin accumulators wallets (who are the buyers) . The bitcoin you have didn't fall from the sky to you, someone sold it to you, and by buying it you invariably turned to a potential seller.
Where is this speculations emanating from. Some of us will love to know.

 it is to be expected that people will be withdrawing their funds from the exchange given what happened.  Binance won't shutdown as a result of this present crisis they are facing, even if they do go down they aren't the first exchange to go Bitrex is a fresh reminder but that doesn't mean cryptocurrencies will see it's armageddon, the only cryptocurrency that will be going down with binance is it's coin BNB.

Freebitco is well known for her provably fair gaming system as a casino with prizes randomly won based on gambler's luck, that being said, from I grasp concerning the generosity @Pawanjain is talking of is how out of their own  volition  they (Freebitco) constantly  throw out different prizes for lucky users to randomly win. A habit in my own lens I view as something that gives the community a feeling of a sense of belonging.

I normalize checking my seed phrase every three months in the different locations I have them stored this because I don't want to take chances, people notion about the regular check of our seed phrase may differ and this could be base on where they are stored and how impenetrable. If not for anything, a seed phrase should be stored in a position where only you alone have access into that a strange entity can't access without your consent, and for printed seeds on paper it should be done with an immutable ink hat wouldn't fade off with time.

Our seed phrase is same as our bank account PIN number for transactions and it is what verified you as a real owner of a certain fund that's why the famous  phrase " not your keys not your funds".

Binance is one of the exchange with the largest trading volume of over $70b if not the leading exchange in cryptocurrencies, known for their low trading and transaction fees changes when compared to other exchanges. It  can be argued that despite binance being a CEX it enjoys a bigger trust level than some Dex exchanges and this is as a result of the reputation it has been able to established, preserve and it's pivot role to crypto adoption since it's inception.

Changpeng Zhao made a smart move in the interest of binance and it's community by resigning from his position as CEO giving way to a new era, and with his resignation some tensions and sentiments that are mounted on the company owing to CEO position  might  be withdrawn with a new phase of business for binance.


It is common to see binance users expressing FUD as a result of this tragedy  making rapid withdrawals of their funds, it's a critical moment for the community but saying that binance will crash based on this event is an impossible projection for a multi billion dollars company with such financial details as quoted below (as at the time this comment was made).

You can say that again!

Multiple times this topic has been discussed a good percentage of contributors made it clearly that it's a No for an answer, there's no way anybody, absolutely anybody can make a steady in with gambling.

Be it in sports betting where the assumption is that with a good knowledge of the particular sport and team/league you are betting on, your chances of regular wins against the house are high  great yet no gambler has acquired that regular enablement with winnings it's rather random and irregular winning times.

Never a brilliant idea to take gambling as a source of income, if you must then it should be a part-time thing among other multiple sources of income you have. There's no guarantee in profit making with gambling.

The ending part did delivered the message plainly.
The decentralization of bitcoin is what still opens a window of opportunity for us to take part in the technology today and I'll say same for those persons that will be adopting bitcoin tomorrow too. If a circle of men called an authority were to dictate the price of bitcoin a whole lot of people wouldn't have be able to get onboard as they would have as many times as they want manipulated the price to their gain frustrating new interested coiners.

With the divisibility of bitcoin anyone can accumulate at their own speed based on their income flow without panic. On the brighter side the next halving circle for anyone that is buying now can bring them some profits which makes them not late compared to those that will be buying after the halving, by then the price would have been twice what it is now.

I am tying the knot with what you have said, the purchase of the motorcycle doesn't mean you are going to save from much spending, before we buy anything machine we should take into consideration the cost of maintainance and the necessity of it. How often do you go out? How long is the distance you cover going to work each day?

There are unnecessary movements we make that can be terminated and it will save us money that we would have spend on transportation only. Someone jokingly said, " for this Port Harcourt just the decision to step outside alone nah 5k", it sounds funny but it's a fact. If we can cut some outings, visits, and journeys we frequently make particularly the ones that can be avoided it will save us cost in transport alone. The Nigeria of yesterday is not the one of today.

I agree with you about the variations that exist. Nevertheless, there are antecedents to consider while proposing an aggressive Investment up to a 25% of ones income into bitcoin.

Some with a lofty income but occupied with other responsibilities entangled on him that demands money it is unlikely that he will be capable to make such percentage even after 4 or 6 years invested in bitcoin, and for a college student it is a worse case scenario to assume that they can invest what should be said to be enough BTC as a student.

Majority take it that it is whatever the government is backing that it is genuine thing to be part of without fears, and so for their government not giving bitcoin that support that they had been on the watch for they get skeptical about it. The restrictions and ban policies faced by bitcoin from different countries of the world is part of what is affecting the (increased global) adoption of bitcoin. For those who have heard/knew about it are skeptical to take part and for some others they have no clue of it and are not interested to get enlightened about it because their government doesn't approve of it in their country.

However, the number of adoption all over the globe is not that bad only that the number is not as much as many bitcoiners are exaggerating it. And it's pretty much to note that a greater percentage of entire bitcoiners are people with not much soaring income flow that could have 25% of their income  invested in bitcoin even if they chose to go aggressive about it.

Money is like a child you have to train it well to have a good profit from it. When you often put or spend your money in the wrong places no matter how abundant the money is it will eventually finish and you go bankrupt and next step in maintaining that elevated standard of a lifestyle is by auctioning a few valuable properties you have, and many gamblers are hooked in this nest.

Silly when I see gamblers spend their winning money anyhow and when you attempt talking to them about it they tell you that they're going to have another win again so let them spend this very one, forgetting that there are some gamblers like them in the queue for luck waiting for their own turn to have a lumpy win too.

I think Bittrex US took the right decision of shutting down having been in a business environment where  exchange regulatory policies are harsh to the teeth. It didn't come as a surprise when I first read about the news, they had before now expressed interest of leaving the US after they were charged to court by the SEC some months ago for operating as an unregistered exchange.

On the other hand, the window given for withdrawal of funds to me is a short one and should have been at least by the end of Dec, 2023, the Dec, 4th 2023 rather interprets how much they are in a hurry to leave the US and, I can't blame them for that.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum a community of bitcoin enthusiasts driven by shared knowledge.

Learning is a gradual process, be rest assured you may not grab all you need at once but as time proceed you will get much acquainted with how the forum operates and bitcoin knowledge.

As usual, my candid advice to you as a newbie disregard and never give audience to any PM's from anyone claiming to have a deal that can bring you profit or double your money in no time, a lot of Sam is going on behind the scene don't be a victim as newbie cause their targets usually newbies. So stay focus and avoid short-cuts to profits.

You don't step into the river with both legs when you don't have sight of the depth. Every investor should treat this as important in their search for a coin of interest to be invested in. When you invest above what you can afford to lose it is tantamount as gambling with your peace of mind and when in any case an investor gambles with his peace of mind suicidal thoughts become the next line of action when their investment collapse because they find it had to bear the loss.

No matter how promising, the amount we invest shouldn't be off of our budget. And a simple way to know when you are investing above what you can afford to lose is when you start having fears and feeling of discomfort with the amount of money you are throwing into a coin.

Another thing op didn't mention is about those set of  people that take loan to invest in a coin, be it bitcoin  or any altcoin I kick against the theory as it's 99% not worth risking it.

it is at this season we get to hear about variants tragedies about have a certain coin that was much talked about and hyped didn't produce result, and all other suck news. At this period what can keep you safe from falling victim of hypes is thorough self digging and research.

People will always accept whatsoever invention that attends to their needs, addresses and brings solution to their challenges. Anybody could have invented bitcoin and still get the rate of adoption it's receiving today, it's not about the inventors influence but the invention being capable of solving and providing solutions to people's financial problems.

People are in dare search of what could give them financial freedom and privacy in their daily business life and this is one of many other solutions that bitcoin offers to it users.

The oppressive measures and policies of the central authorities in controlling, monitoring and directing the financial flow of citizens has been a challenge to many people and bitcoin as decentralized technology giving anonymity, privacy, financial freedom etc to it users all these made people from divers countries to adopt it even when they have their own local currency.

What I can say as lesson learnt from this true life story is that we shouldn't carelessly misplace our gambling tickets or lose it because the gambling house won't accept any explanation you might want to give even when they know you are not a stone throw away from the truth as the true winner of the said game.

The man fought what can be described as a good legal battle, a battle of almost a decade, only God knows the agony he must have passed through all those years in this legal battle with the bet outlet. He was so lucky to still have some details left uncleaned on his ticket after his daughter had ironed it with the intention to straighten the rumple ticket, if it was a complete blank ticket there wouldn't have been any evidence substantial to win this battle.  Congratulations to him.

oh yeah, it easier for a gambler to quit for the day after a big win to when he's losing in his game. The tendency to chase the losses is triggered by the idea of recovery back to previous financial state, and in that condition anxiety steps in affecting your gambling decisions leading to blunders that originates extra losses.

Losing can be very painful and disappointing equally when you claim to play for fun too, it is natural in human as an innate nature to disgust losing, and when we care too more about our losses we are moved to beat the loss and the chances are that we tend to lose more in such circumstance than we do recover. At that stage admittance by accepting the day as your losing day is the better option instead of chasing the losses.

Like you had said, "such a person is doing pretty good", to have been DCAing for that number of years without fail. If I was in that position I won't get worked up buy relax and be doing maintainance on my Investment waiting for the ATH.

This group of persons are the ones that are to have themselves to be blamed when the ETF had finally been approved and bitcoin price surge as a result. For this group there's nothing in the chart for them and just like those that had regrets back in 2021 when the last ATH took place the regrets of those now will be double with the eventual approval of the ETF by or before 2024.

@babygun I am with you on this, before people want to live on luxury they forget to check the cost of maintainance of the luxury they are seeking. Every lifestyle is attached with a maintainance cost. Lamborghini is not just any common car and for someone like in my country the body parts of Lamborghini has to be imported from outside the country.

I'll rather accept BTC as an asset instead even if the amount of BTC isn't approximately equivalent to the reward which to me is a liability to maintain. With a $200, 0000 worth prize in BTC I can get a standard car not so expensive to maintain like a Lambo while I invest with the rest funds.
