Seeking other sources of income, like securing a side job or starting a business, would be good options if you want to save. Saving would later be channeled to investments such as real estate, Bitcoin, or precious stones.
Having other sources of income surely makes saving and investing easier, that way one would have enough for their daily expenses and something left for investments. However, there is something i read and i believe it to be true, if you cannot save from the little you earn, you would probably struggle to save even if your salary increases. Many people who became successful investors started investing when they had little, they believed in compound interest and they started very early.

sometimes i feel like even with utmost self control you still don’t end up getting rich due to expensive prices and lack of salary in general
Self control, which i would prefer to call discipline is not only what is needed to become rich, but it is an important part of it. However, you must add investing to your discipline and you must invest in the right assets, some people still save money in the bank and they expect to get rich, that is not possible. You save money and then you put them in investments that rise against inflation or maintains their value even in a crisis, BTC and gold are very good examples.

Those who acquired bitcoin in early days got larger share in less price. Later when there are very less bitcoins left to be mined and prices are astronomically high, it will be hard to acquire even fractions of bitcoins. Where is equality concept associated with bitcoin then ?
What equality concept, the only concept i know of is decentralization, censorship resistance, no third party control, freedom, etc. There is no concept that we all have to hold the same amount of BTC, this is not a communist community. Those who bought in the early days and held it for a long time were rewarded for believing in a network that only very few people believed in. If you don't buy now, you will still be moaning about people who bought BTC today making returns from it in the future.

If you have a large bankroll and you are willing to stake a good amount on single bets or on parlays of a few games, then your chances of winning is slightly higher.
Take note that placing single bets do not guarantee you will win and if you go with games with low odds, then the profit you will make on what you stake will be very small, and trying to add a few more games will now increase your risk. There is no certain way to win in gambling, if you stake very high, you are going to lose some and win some, and if your winnings are big, your losses would also be big.

I don't really bother with bonuses that have a huge wagering requirement, it is surely going to end in disappointment and i would probably lose all of it. If the wagering requirement is not that big, then i will go for it and see what happens.
I know there are gamblers who join a casino because of bonuses, freebets and stuffs like that, i am not one of such gamblers, that is not to say i don't like it when i get a free bet, but i just select my casino based on my own criteria, deposit and start playing, i don't look out for bonuses and stuffs because i know how hard it is to win it.

Did they get the opp or just the servers? I didn't see any mentions of arrests. Maybe with $56 million bucks in crypto, they aren't worried about any arrests.  They didn't make any mention of arrests. However, they said their investigation is still ongoing, so there would probably be charges once they are done analysing the transaction data from the exchange. I cannot say this is comforting news for TradeOgre customers who had funds in the exchange, but at least they now have one less thing to worry about, which was what happened to the exchange. Now we know it was seized and the government would probably 'steal' people's funds that they have confiscated, calling it all criminal proceeds.

Only use Binance if there's a promotion that entices you to participate. And remember their alarm triggers: don't accept direct deposits unless it's from your own personal wallet.
The same goes for any other exchange, if you accept coins that has been mixed or has gone through any privacy tool, then there is a high chance that the coins will be confiscated and the account would be restricted. If it were to be a binance thing, then i would have recommended that op should never use binance again, but since this can happen in any exchange and in any custodial service, then it makes sense to simply use the exchange you like the most and be careful when doing so.

Whenever you cash out your bet you should be ready to take responsibility and not moan about the eventual outcome. If you know you will feel terrible cashing out and then the game plays out how you predicted, then don't cash out, hold on and if you lose it, then you take the loss, it is that simple. So many people cash out and start moaning that they shouldn't have, it was up to you, you made the decision to take what the casino offered you, whatever was the eventual outcome of the game is no longer your business.

If you prefer trading in Binance, then i don't see any reason why you shouldn't continue using them. You know the reason your account was restricted, which is because you used a mixer, most exchanges would probably have done the same thing. However, luckily you didn't lose your money and you also finally have your account back.
Centralized exchanges function in the same way. So even if you completely dump Binance for another exchange, you can run into unexpected problems in the new service, the same way you can in binance too. So simply choose the exchange you prefer and follow the precautions necessary when using an exchange.

There have been so many threads about this same subject. Op i don't know how you came up with the 15 years part, though that is a lot of time from now, but i don't think BTC will ever completely replace the banking system. Take note that we bitcoiners love the idea of being our own bank, we want to store our coins ourselves, but the majority of the world do not, they are very comfortable with the traditional banking system.
A lot of things will happen in 15 years, positive things for BTC and its network. However, i don't think replacing the banking system will be one of them, sure there would be more merchants accepting BTC, and its status as a decentralized currency will be well established, but i believe it will remain as an alternative to fiat.

I can only wonder how people would believe something like this. It is common to see people selling fake fixed games for sports betting, but i don't think i have seen many scammers advertising a hack for casino games. The earlier people understand that their chances of winning money from a casino depends a lot on how lucky they are on a particular day, the better for them.

Does proof of reserves really make any sense when we do not know what the liabilities are. A service can publish proof of reserves, but how can you even be sure that the reserves are going to cover liabilities in the case of a mishap. Proof of liabilities + proof of reserves would make more sense, but you won't find any centralized exchange doing that because those reserves don't cover their liabilities. Would you personally feel safer trading on MEXC because of this, or is it still the same old story which is “not your keys, not your coins”?
Trading in an exchange is different from storing your coins there. If you want to trade in MEXC because of this, then that is up to you. But nobody should store their funds in any centralized exchange or custodial service, and this 'show' should not change that.

Have you ever had cases of bitcoin being marked "dirty" because it is bitcoin from a casino address?
I have withdrawn my winnings from a casino directly into an exchange without any problems, so no i have never been faced with this. However, if you are concerned that an exchange may confiscate your funds because it is coming directly from a casino, then you can move the funds to your self custodial wallet before depositing in into an exchange. If you are receiving funds from a third party, the safest option is to do so with your self custodial wallet. People who receive their signature earnings directly into an exchange could run into problems if the funds were probably mixed prior to payments.

but at the same time wants Bitcoin to remain decentralized and in the hands of retail investors. Everything has its price, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
BTC is not in the hands of anyone and it is still very much decentralized. I do not know why people think BTC would no longer be decentralized because institutional investors are now a part of the network, they have huge funds to buy a lot of coins, but that does not give them control. Right from when BTC was created, anyone was free to buy it, so do you think the decentralized currency you so much believe in would stop being decentralized because some firm bought a huge bunch of it, if that was the case, then you should have never gotten into the network, cause it has always been censorship resistant.

There had been so many instances of fraud related to financial instruments that it is hard for someone to accept that something like crypto can be there which is giving very high return. When I tell my friends about crypto, their first reaction is that it is just scam. They are not even interested in learning more about crypto.
There are also more cases of fiat fraud as well, but that does not stop people from using fiat. I understand what you mean though, with BTC the individual is in control and a lot of people are afraid of that. They fear losing their BTC to scammers based off their own mistake or folly. Another thing you need to get clear is that BTC was not created to 'give people high return'. First you need to explain BTC to people as a censorship resistant and decentralized currency, before you talk about its volatility. If you start talking about profit from the off, it sounds like a ponzi scheme and i would not blame a novice who turns down your recommendation.

I have never searched google to get a crypto casino before. All the crypto casinos i have ever used, i got it from this forum and i usually play on the casino that i advertise in my signature and avatar space. Right now i only gamble on Whale.io and it is a great casino, so i do not even have any reason to search for any other casino. I can recommend bitcointalk as a great place to find a reputable crypto casino, just do your own research about them before depositing.

I do not watch basketball, but i am sure it does not happen in football games, even if people think it does. There are a lot of conspiracy theories in football about how a particular team gets favors from referees and the league's organizing body, but it is impossible to prove and no matter how glaring you may think it is, it could just be coincidence.

I don't know if there is a worst crypto wallet, but blockchain.com is not a recommended wallet and i do not know why people still use it. If you visit this section of the forum you'll find an endless complaints about this wallet. The only reason why someone should use this wallet is ignorance and lack of knowledge, if you are in this forum, you should know you have so many better alternatives.

What a cruel way for Burnley to lose that game. I believe Liverpool have won all their games this season with late goals, lol, but like they say, who cares, 4 games, 12 points, top of the league and a 100% record.
Watching the game i was thinking about taking Salah off my team, but then he scores another late goal and he is my captain for the week, so i guess i will leave him for another week or two, lol.

Phishing emails like this can look so legitimate and the scammers have a high chance of successfully hitting one or two people. So they would not mind randomly sending it to every email address they have gathered from a crypto service breach.
About a week ago a developer was hacked through a 2fa update phishing link and it led to a huge NPM hack. It just goes to show that even the experienced can be pwned sometimes, so we have to be very careful and verify everything.
