Now I wonder what will CZ do to save his precious company.
Right now, all of the top coins in terms of market cap made a bounce after that downward pressure caused by the news, EXCEPT on BNB. It went down even more, and now down 14% base on Coingecko.

Well, whatever the fate of Binance will be, I guess it's effect towards the crypto market will be just temporary only. The worst thing is if Binance will shut down because of this. I just hope it will not happen, but if it will, brace for impact, because it will greatly affect the whole crypto market. Overall, I think that CZ will overcome this one thru just stopping Binance.US.

Base on your story, I think I'm one of the few users here that are kind of lucky at that time then.

We have different story in terms of bounty campaign back in 2017 to around 2018. Every campaign that I joined, I always get the tokens from it, and luckily I manage to sold every one of them. I only joined in a few bounty campaigns (around 5 I guess), and all 5 of them paid me the tokens, got listed in an exchange, and manage to sold all of them. That was the time where ICO are still hyped. After months of joining in a bounty campaign (paid with tokens), I stopped it already, and focused on campaigns which are paying Bitcoins.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong with this one.

Bounty campaign is a general term consists of different types of campaign like Social media campaign, Telegram campaign, Blog campaign, and so on, and so forth. Signature campaign on the other hand, is one of the campaigns under the bounty campaign where you wear signature to advertise the project here.

Many think that signature campaign nowadays is different from bounty campaign, but back a few years ago signature campaign is one of the campaigns under bounty campaign. Now to answer your question OP, signature campaign (paid thru Bitcoins) is more effective than just bounty campaigns (different campaigns). Well, you can do trial and error. Hire a reputable manager here, try both campaigns. One where you are paying the participants with your own token, and one using Bitcoins.

I wonder why when users here asks for forgiveness because of what they've done, they always involve some religious terms like "Muslim, Almighty God, Jesus Christ" etc. etc.
Do they think that when they use it, they will be given a second chance? I mean I'm just curious because I've seen some users here who got banned, and then when they are asking for second chance, they're using words like this.

To the OP, you made a mistake, and that mistake is enough for you to get permabanned just like what theymos, and hilariousandco said. Better move on, and move forward. You might made some good contributions here... but it is what it is.

This is why I'm not browsing in the forum whenever I'm drunk, or not feeling well. I might do something like this. 

No I will not, and instead of supporting it, I might just wake up after sleeping because this will not happen at all.
It's impossible, and it's unnecessary TBH. How can an asset like Bitcoin can be a global reserve currency? Yes I labeled it as an asset because many sees it as an asset, and not a currency.

Do you think that the governments will allow this kind of thing to happen? Do you think that all of the countries around the world will agree that they will let a decentralized asset like Bitcoin to be the Global reserve currency? Do you think that the US government want this to happen? The government have the power, and they don't want this power go to waste especially when it comes to things like this, so they will disagree with it, and for sure most of the people will disagree with it as well.

I'm a supporter of Bitcoin, and been holding Bitcoin for years, but I don't see it as a global reserve currency nor think about it to happen. I guess let's just stick to what it is right now, and that is Dollar as the global reserve currency.

I just remember a few weeks ago when Atomic was also in my option in wallets where I will store my ATOM tokens, so that it will earn money passively thru staking. I guess this is a lesson for me who always love staking that always use the wallet that the own developers created, and if they don't have one, don't buy it.

As for the people who lost their money in Atomic, I don't know the main reason, but I guess one reason is the fact that they are giving staking rewards when you store your coins there. I guess this is the reason why there are still people who prefer storing their coins in some wallets, or exchanges where they can earn money passively like what Atomic is offering. I just hope that these people who lost their money are still ok, learned their lesson, move on, and move forward.

Open source? Close source? I don't care TBH.
I'm not a coder (though I tried to learn at one moment in my life), so I guess I don't care about these type of wallets. After all, this will not remove the possibility of a wallet being hacked. Close source isn't secure, and at the same time open source isn't as well, so what's the difference.

Negative news = negative effect towards the crypto market. Market is heavily driven by emotions, by sentiments of the investors.

Though this wasn't the case for some news, most of the time whenever there's a negative news, the sentiment of the investors is going negative, thus they feel panic, and they will sell their holdings, causing the prices to go down.

I don't know if it's just me, but I've seen Binance being sued for many times already. CZ denied the allegations on his twitter account, and these are just "SPECULATIONS" because of the word "ALLEGED" meaning they aren't 100% sure if it's true. Now to answer your question, I guess the fact that most of the investors are using Centralized Exchanges whenever they buy and sell makes it more important to them. I mean if these exchanges will disappear, what will be our options if we want to buy, or/and sell Bitcoin, and other altcoins.

Well like you, I will not get affected if Binance will suddenly disappear, but I doubt it will happen. Just look at FTX. It has an issue a few months ago like you shared, but it's still operating like nothing happened.

Boys, Girls or whatever gender in between, I guess there's no discrimination when it comes not only in Bitcoin, but investing in general right?

I've seen some female successful investors here in our country, and now they are sharing their knowledge to other people. It's just that when it comes to investing, we often see more boys than girls that's why this thread has been created.

Overall, nothing special here TBH. It's just a regular Bitcoin trader, sharing his experience to his younger sister. It's a good thing though, but nothing special. I've done this as well in the past where I teach my younger sister Bitcoin, the basics of it, and some altcoins out there. Aside from that, I also shared some tips to her. I just hope that she is still investing Bitcoin until now.

This is an outdated stats coming from NBA websiteitself, but at least we have a glimpse on it base on history.
Game 3 will be a crucial one for both teams because that increases their chances of winning in the whole series. In this 2023 playoffs, the record is 12-2 meaning teams who are winning in Game 3 wins 85.71% of the time. Right now, the Heat have to defend their home court, but in their last series against the Celtics, they lost 2 straight on their home, so we don't know if the Heat can win at least 1 in their home, and knowing that the Nuggets are 4-3 on the road, they have a chance to steal one. Anyway, I will agree that the Nuggets are still the favorite here despite losing Game 2, but that will chance if the Heat defend their home in the next 2 games.

Coach Malone said in an interview that the Game 2 was their worst performance in the whole 2023 NBA playoffs. He might be angry, but for sure he will made some adjustments.
On the other hand, let's give credits to the arguably the best coach currently in Coach Spo. He is a great tactician who knows to adjust, and make effective decisions if needed. He made some adjustments after that Game 1 loss, put Love in the starting 5 to prevent mismatches, and that is one reason why they won.

Pressure on the Nuggets team? Probably because it's their first loss on the road this playoffs, but I don't think that the pressure will let them lose their confidence in themselves. After all, the Nuggets are the top team in the West for most of the regular season. I guess they need to adjust how Jokic plays from a shooter-first player to a pass-first player because the Nuggets are better in that way.

This isn't only applied to memecoin itself, but in every project, a community behind it is very important.

Having a community means there are people who are supporting your project for whatever reason it is. It's very important to have a community behind every project because they'll be the ones who will promote the project itself, and at the same time buy that coin. On the other hand, there are some projects that are failing even though they have a community that has been built already. These are the project who doesn't have any intention, but to scam people at first place.

Not all.
This is the problem right now not only with memecoins, but with other projects as well. If they just include some famous influencer out there, investors will flock into that project hoping that they can profit from it, buy that project, and it will get hyped for a short period of time before it turns to either be a scam project or a dead project. Memecoins that has a name of an influencer is most probably a scam. Just look at the popular memecoins right now. DOGE, SHIB, and now PEPE. I don't think that PEPE is associated with Elon, but DOGE and SHIB isn't. Elon is the one who promoted DOGE, and DOGE has been existing for a long time already before he advertised it, and hyped.

Hype is number one that's for sure.
I still remember a few years ago where memecoins are hyped. Lots of new memecoins being created since it's very easy to create a new token nowadays, and in the end, only a few memecoins are still alive until now, and the one notable memecoin that went up at that time is SHIB. Now it's hyped again, and the notable memecoin is PEPE. Whenever there is a hype on a particular industry whether it is NFT, or DeFi, or memecoin, there will always be 1-2 projects that will be supported by many people thus, increasing the popularity of it, and increasing the market cap as well.

Aside from the peak, I think anytime is the right time to invest into anything.

The best time IMO is during the bear market because at that time, prices of all assets are down. From Bitcoin, altcoins, to stocks, precious metals everything. All of the assets during the bear market are down, and that's the perfect time to invest. I guess the worst time to invest is during the bull market unless you want to risk your money, and buy something even though there is a chance that it might go down anytime.

DEX'es only gain popularity during it's hype.
Nowadays, nobody is talking about it anymore. People are more interested in investing into meme coins that has no use case than these DeFi tokens that has many use cases. Kind of ironic, but that's how investing is. Whatever the hype is, investors are always there trying to risk their money.

Anyway, DEX'es aren't that popular anymore, but still there are many people who are using those top DEX'es like Uniswap, and the like. As for that new project, it's pretty obvious that you are just advertising it just like what others are doing here. I will not say that it's a scam, but I guess good luck with your project.

It can go both ways.
You can see Bitcoin as an currency, and at the same time, you can see it as an asset as well. It all depends on the motives of a particular person.

There are some who sees Bitcoin as an investment alone, and there are some who sees it as an asset. At the end of the day, what's important is you achieved your goal. If you see Bitcoin as an asset where you can get profit from investing into it then there's no problem there. Now if you sees Bitcoin as a currency that can be used as an alternative mode of payment then there's nothing wrong there.

Bitcoin was created as a currency at first, but over the years, people are seeing it as either an asset or both a currency, and an asset. As for me, I only have 2 reasons on why I'm purchasing Bitcoin. One is I want to have access to my own money, and the other one is that I want profit.

5$ wrench attack. A very popular term in crypto space, but for the newbies, they don't know what that means.
It's also the reason why I'm not disclosing any of my Bitcoin holdings not only on online, but in the people around me as well.

There might be some people who knows that I'm holding Bitcoin, but they don't know how much is it. I don't know, but I guess this is also the reason why I'm hesitant in teaching other people with regards to Bitcoin. There might be a chance that those who have knowledge that I hold Bitcoin might target me one day (hope will not happen).

Anyway, the case of what the OP has shared isn't 100% crypto related, but maybe the fact that he's involved in one crypto project made him a target. Nevertheless, boasting things online like what you have, properties, money, or whatever it is is always a bad thing to do. Better to keep it private, and you don't get anything if you show it online. Maybe validation.

A few minutes after that close game, I was still in disbelief because of what happened. I didn't expect it TBH because it's anybody's ball game until the final minute of it.

It's the first loss of the Nuggets this postseason, and on the other hand, the Heat again made the impossible which is to give the Nuggets their first loss on their home, and it's because of the team effort of the team, and a great, great coach in Coach Spo.

I guess there's no need to share the stats here for the Heat since won because of their team effort. Jokic on the other hand led his team with 41 points while Murray scored only 18 points. I don't know if it's only me, but I think putting Murray in the center of offense would be better than Jokic. I mean Murray would be better if he would shot more. Nevertheless, it's a close one, and there was a swing of double-digit leads, but in the end the Heat won. Congratulations to them. I guess with this loss of the Nuggets, my prediction of Nuggets in 5 will not happen anymore unless they will win both games on the road.

It will, but I think that the odd differential isn't that much compare to when they're playing in Denver. It's also because the Nuggets are 4-3 on the road this post season that's why I don't think that the odd differential isn't that much although the Heat like what you said will be favored in terms of odds. I think I'll put my bet on the Heat as well in Game 3.

Not 100% true.
You might sacrificing something, but in the end you will not become successful. I've seen some people focused on one thing, sacrificed everything that they have just to become successful, but in the end, they quitted, regretted their decision, and found something that they love to do, and focused on it.

Well, I agree with what you said though that we don't need to spend our energy counting the number of hours we are working because hustling is the way. Working hard is good, but remember that working hard alone isn't enough. Work hard, and at the same time, work smart as well. Quitters will never become successful whether it will be a business, or in betting, or gambling, etc. What's the best thing to do? Do what you love. Focus on it, and if you need to work hard to become successful on that thing then do it. Sometimes, doing what you love urges you to work harder.

Whatever dream we have right now, work for it. As for me, I only have one dream, and I'm working hard to achieve it in the future.

Well, I will not force my future children to learn Bitcoin, but if I will need to use my force to teach them about investing, I will do it because I don't want my future children grow up not knowing about investing at all.

Children from birth up to 7 years old are the years where a child is very vulnerable. I mean all of the things that he sees, and learns at that age will be the one that will be on his my mind as he grows up. If he's surroundings is a surrounding full of bad people, there's a chance that he will be a bad people when he grows up. I'm thinking of teaching my child at least how to save money at that age. He's too young to learn investing at that time, but saving is my first step towards it.

I agree that we don't need to use force to teach them Bitcoin because it's not mandatory for a person especially to a child to learn it. I mean we can still live without it right? I don't know if it's a good thing, but I think at age 10 above, we can teach our children about investing already, but only the basics of it. Just an eye-opener I guess, and if he's a teenager already, we can teach them different types of investments including Bitcoin, the risks of it, the pros and cons etc. etc. One thing's for sure for me though, I will not force my children to learn Bitcoin, but if I need to use force to teach them about investing, I will do it.

I don't want to derail the current topic here whatsoever (and I don't watch these On-tour games also), but it seems like this might be a problem for the whole PBA if they will not change something.

Converge, who has been in the league for I think three seasons already is putting up the franchise for sale.
https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/frustrated-converge-weighs-putting-pba-franchise-up-for-sale-a2244-20230601?ref=feed_1_section

This quote alone is very powerful, and it's the truth, and all of us agree on it. Converge which is considered an independent team tried to change the looks of all independent teams thru getting better players, and compete against SMC, and MVP, but it seems like the virus is incurable already. The League is running by a duopoly of SMC, and MVP. I will not be surprised if 5-10 years from now, the league will not be as popular anymore. TBH, those other leagues like the MPBL, and the UAAP itself are more popular and exciting to watch on live than PBA which is very predictable already.

Read the article, and you will agree on what the author has said. Sorry for derailing as well, but this problem has been there for years, and no one can stop it. Maybe if we will change the Commissioner to a better one then it might solve the problem.

Who here wants to pay 30$ in transaction fees just to buy an item worth 10$?
This is the reason why Bitcoin will always be an alternative mode of payment, and not a main mode of payment. It's the fees which sometimes is really high like what happened a few weeks ago. Why pay using Bitcoin when you can use fiat to buy it?

Higher transaction fees = more exposure to Lightning Network. As transaction fees goes up, people will find an a better way to make Bitcoin transaction, and Lightning Network is the most recommended by others. You have 2 options though, either use LN, or use altcoins if you really want to pay using crypto.

This is the reason why many are thinking about the Nuggets of winning the title against the Heat. Yes the Heat got the will to win, but will alone isn't enough for you to win a title especially with a talented, and almost unstoppable Nuggets team.

Anyway, I will add some history achievements that happened in Game 1. (just saw it online)
- Jokic joins Jason Kidd as the only players in NBA history to record a triple double in their Finals Debut.
- Jokic, and Murray joins Jordan & Pippen, and Magic & Worthy as the only teammates to both have 10+ assists in a Finals game.
- Jokic broke the past record for most number of assists by a Center in a Finals Game with 14. Bill Russell held it with 13.
- Jokic, and Murray are the 2 of 4 players in history to score 25+ points, 5+ rebounds, and 10+ assists in Finals debut.

TBH, these achievements alone by Jokic, and Murray is enough to say that they're unstoppable. The Heat are just on a disadvantage in terms of match-ups. Gordon is just bulldozing in the paint. MPJ is just dunking on the Heat players. Aside from mismatches, the Nuggets also have good defense as well, and aside from that, it seems like double teaming Jokic will not work because he can easily see players who are free to shoot.

Nuggets in 5 still. The Nuggets have all the advantages against the Heat, and one win on the road alone is enough for them to win the title.

I did a quick Google search on who Ben Gordon is, and surprisingly he played in the NBA (I don't know him TBH that's why I'm surprised), and what's more surprising is that base on Wikipedia:

Anyway, the Nuggets won on their first NBA Finals game on franchise history by 11 points 104-93 behind a triple double by Jokic (his 9th in this playoffs), and 26 points by Murray.

The Nuggets are just amazing in this game. Shot 50.6% in FG, and the Heat doesn't have anything to stop Murray, and MPJ who got a double-double 14 points, 13 rebounds. Gordon also scored 16 points in this one. What's good about the Nuggets is that, they know how to capitalize the disadvantages of their opposing team like in this game, the Heat obviously are undersized especially when Gordon, and MPJ are in the court (which happens most of the time). That's also the reason why both of them got double-digits in this Game 1. Jokic also got 14 assists which is the most in an NBA Finals debut.

As for the Heat, they made a history in Game 1 as they have the fewest number of free throw attempts in NBA Finals history with two attempts. Just imagine that for a second. You played for 48 minutes, and you only got 2 free throws. Butler just for context averaged more than 8 free throw attempts in the ECF, and has been good in drawing fouls. This just shows how good the Nuggets are in defense to the point that they can avoid getting fouls while defending their opponents. This is also the first Game 1 loss for the Heat since they won on the first 3 Game 1's on the first 3 series in this playoffs. Another one is Caleb Martin. He is unstoppable against the Celtics, but in Game 1 he scored only 3 points. It's expected that the Nuggets will defend him most of the time.

Game 2 will be 2 days from now. We will see more adjustments coming from both teams. Will the Nuggets maintain their undefeated record? Or the Heat will bounce back, and steal one on the road like what they're always doing in this playoffs.

I also tried to copy some of my latest posts on the website that anonymous reporter has shared (thanks for sharing anyway), and most of them are less than 1% fake (some are even 0%), but there are 2 of my posts that has more than 30%. I also don't know if this AI detector is reliable or not as well.

Anyway, I don't know if it's only me, but I despise users who are using ChatGPT for their advantage here in the forum just to get a few bucks in their signature campaign. IMO, it's obvious that the OP has used AI apps to maximize the quality of his posts. I just don't know why people are using it here? To gain merits? Self-validation? To show here that you are a good poster? I mean it doesn't make sense (for me).

We've seen previous report from a user who has been caught using AI tools in his posts, but what he only got is a neutral trust, and a ban from campaigns that Royse777 is managing, and will be managing in the future. Deleting his AI posts will be useless as well because he has been exposed already, and I guess it's almost certain that he will be out of Yomix anytime soon (if proven he's using AI).

P.S. Well, I guess that the site that the reporter has posted isn't as reliable as it is because @pakhitheboss tried it on another AI detector, and it seems that it says there that it wasn't an AI written post.
I tried using the AI detector website that @nutildah has shared here: LINK
LINK LINK LINK LINK
On the first post that is suspected to be AI written, 2 of the sites said that it is created by a human, while the 2 said that it has made thru AI.
On the second post that is suspected to be AI written, 4 of the same websites that I used said that it is created by human.
On the third post that is suspected to be AI written, 2 of the sites again said that it is created by a human while the 2 said that it has made thru AI.

TBH, it's hard to detect which posts are created by human, and which are created by AI knowing that these AI detector tools have different outputs for the same posts. The only time that we will know that the suspected user is using AI is when he, himself says it. If the accused is using or not, I still despise using AI to earn here.
