everyone needs a gay bob in their life.

So ironically, Trust Wallet is not a wallet you can trust. It is neither decentralized nor open source. Which as the previous posters have indicated could pose a huge security risk as your keys could be possibly compromised.

Other than that, I have found Trust Wallet to be a decent wallet from the perspective of user experience, especially DeFi on the BSC and ERC20 blockchains. Although I have only tried it out with small amounts of funds and only those two blockchains.

I do find it weird they would lie about being open source. I think if there was a real open source version, I would not mind using it for larger funds.

Bitcoin is definitely more secure in a peaceful, modern society, in which everyone has free access to the internet and is not enslaved by a dictatorship like in North Korea where you are cut off from anything not approved by the government. Although even in such a dictatorship, people would find ways to keep Bitcoin alive and running.

Now, if the scenario were to be more drastic, like for example, WW3 and the collapse of everything and people would not have an internet connection then in such an extremest of cases, cash would be more useful, short term.

But I am planning for the future not for the apocalypse. So Bitcoin all the way.

Strange to assume that online gambling casino bonuses are no longer associated solely with marketing campaigns because that is exactly their one and only function. Otherwise there would be no point.

Any holiday even as minor as black friday is a good reason for a bonus marketing campaign. The bigger and more well known the holiday, the better the bonus will be. At least thats from my own experience with casino bonuses. Although I am not sure how widespread black friday is in the international community. It seems more of a western, if not a USA-only holiday. So maybe US based casinos will be offering the best bonuses.

I think that its not so very important whether or not a particular online gambling casino has or does not have an ANN, despite being a crypto-related business. It seems to be more important that their reputation does not become stained by having an open scam accusation on our scam accusation subforum. And if they do, then they should at least have the courtesy of creating an account just to talk to their community and explain themselves. Otherwise it makes it seem like they do not care about their players very much. Which to anyone, is a big red flag.

I would not be able to tell you which one is the best because I have not had the pleasure of trying out each and every online gambling casino on your list but if I had to pick one, then I say Fortunejack. And not only because I am endorsing it with my own avatar and signature on my BTCT account, but I also play on Fortunejack quite a bit. So I have gotten used to it. The user experience design is quite pleasing and it is one of the very oldest and most known crypto-related gambling casinos. And after all those years I have not heard anything bad about it. Nobody has accused it of scams or otherwise. So to me, its a very comfy casino that I feel ok with storing my funds on.

Its also got quite a lot of interesting games and events, so thats a big plus.

Yes, I may have misunderstood his meaning. But my point still stands.

"Poor people cannot afford assassinations"
Oh, well good thing poor people cannot kill others out of revenge. Especially when their entire life's savings have been stolen.

If Sam Bankman-Fried has not been arrested and will not be arrested then that only means that the justice system has failed when faced with crypto crime. One may see this either as a good thing or a bad thing, depending if you are for or against regulation of cryptocurrency.

Some people will see the uncontrollable nature of crypto in a bad way: The scammers will obviously see this as a green light to scam even harder, because hey, whos going to stop them?

I myself will try to remain positive and see this as a good thing: This is just more proof that cryptocurrency as well as its crimes are completely unregulatable and out of control of the government and the latest news about FTX as well as LUNA are just providing more evidence for this hypothesis. So we do have a system of freedom, should our governments ever decide to betray us.

I imagine that in the future, the governments and the people will have each other "by the balls". No more anti-democratic/dictator governments.

Are you implying that I would ever have invested in either SBF or Kwon's shitcoin scams or even held my coin on their exchanges? I will not be insulted. GTFO. -10 Merits. You are banned from posting on WO. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Social Credit Score -50 points, report to the nearest government re-education facility.

I am surprised that SBF and Kwon haven't been assassinated yet, TBH. How pissed must their investors be right now?

The only sure-fire way to make profit without losing coin is to either loan someone your coins for a percentage (for example staking) or you are a trader who knows how to buy the dips. Although be sure to include a DCA strategy (Dollar Cost Averaging) otherwise you just go all-in even though there might be another few dips ahead. But as long as you hodl and do not panic, you should be fine either way.

The riskier the strategy the higher the reward, should it succeed. Although with Altcoins you also need to be certain that you are investing into something worthwhile. And the only way you will find out what is worthwhile is by doing your own research.

At this point any further dips will be pure market manipulation to shake the weak hands. No way the whales are going to miss out on this chance. As far as exchanges go, I would agree. But I would also agree with that assessment if we were at 100k and rising 10% everyday.

I do not think that the FTX FUD is going to do any more damage than it already has done. What more could push down the price at this point? SBF not finding the investors who will give him billions of dollars to save his sketchy exchange? Everyone already knows that that will never happen. If I had to take a guess, I would say the FTX news has already done the most damage that it can to the price of Bitcoin. And that damage will be very short term. However I do hope people will be panic selling for a while longer. I really do not mind filling up on cheap coins as often as I can.

Sounds like really nice and cheap Bitcoin there! But honestly, I would not be betting on us reaching 10k again. If anything I would say we have reached the point where the latest FUD has done the most damage to the price of BTC. So sure you can wait for the 10k and hopefully, you will get it but I am not going to risk it and just buy in and wait for BTC to normalize the normal price levels again. Volatility used to be very common but the more people adopt Bitcoin, the less common it becomes. A dip like this is not going to be happening every other week. I say buy while you can...

Well if you were to view this kind of practice from a different perspective, perhaps it would actually be useful in increasing your odds of winning. We know that many people create their own strategies in increasing their odds of winning. Some people become very good at it. The better you become, the more people notice and everyone starts wanting to copy your bets.

I agree that copying the bets from a single person sounds like a bad idea. But two (or more heads) are better than one. So what if you were to "scan" through the best bettors bets and copy the bets that they all agree on? Would this not up your probability of winning?

It might not, or there might not be enough good bettors making correlating bets. Who knows?

I think you might be wrong about that. All gambling games are probabilistic to their very core. Which is why they are gambling games and not games which can be won by using complex computer algorithms like with chess. So what you call luck is really you being on the less "lucky" side than the actual gambling casino with their built-in house edge. But you definitely could raise your chances of winning if you are skilled enough. Even though you will never be "luckier" than the casino with mentioned house edge. Trying to cheat fate by calling something lucky or unlucky is just psychological. Not a good gambling strategy.

I think that most people need to go through the ritual of fire. That is to say, they need to experience what their own "chickeness" does to their portfolio. I think we all once were newbies who were not 100% certain of our investment in Bitcoin. Nor did we understand it much, rather we just decided to go with the hype, as most newcomers do these days. But the BTC lost by flip-flopping between buying and selling are not what I would call losses. Rather they are expensive lesson fees.

Once we complete the lesson, which is to always hodl and never sell, then and only then do we reap the future rewards.

But you are right. I think the biggest problem is that they do not understand how crypto works.

Oh definitely I would have to agree with your assessment on why we gamble. It is a deep psychological need for the dopamine rush in our brains from taking a risk and getting rewarded for it. Although as with anything that gives you a rush of dopamine, like drugs, its best to watch out not to condition yourself to connecting that feeling of reward with the activity of gambling itself. Otherwise you will become addicted to gambling. And after a enough time you will not be able to stop.

Thats why its best to walk away after losing your designated gambling funds or winning a large amount of money. To wear off that feeling. And once its gone, feel free to gamble again.

Oh well thats good then. Bob shared a BS article, I guess.

Its disappointing that El Salvador has proven, by keeping their coins on an exchange, to have adopted Bitcoin without actually understanding Bitcoin. This explains why their adoption went to shit and nobody in El Salvador was even interested in BTC in the long term. It was all just Nayid Bukele acting on FOMO like a newbie with a get-rich-quick crypto scheme.
