So, as of today Paymonade in binance.com is disabled, the prompt to deposit EUR is still there, this time with Bifinity UAB... Buuuut, if you try to actually deposit any amount, it will be returned to your account instantly. That's what happened to me at least. No need to try this yourself.  |

Governments generally don't accumulate BTC for investment purposes, they just auction them whenever possible after they acquire them. And many of the entities in the OP hold BTC only for custodial purposes. Grayscale's real BTC stash is much smaller, maybe to the tune of a few tens of thousands from fees accumulated from their GBTC instrument. But bear in mind that DGC who owns GBTC is also indebted through a bankruptcy case because they lost a lot of BTC that they lent out to irresponsible traders such as FTX's "Alameda Research" and Three arrows capital.
And Robin Hood holds BTC on behalf of people. They too charge fees but their real self-holdings aren't to the tune of 100k BTC.

It's funny, Israel had a ministerial cabinet member basically admit that the state had nuclear weapons by saying they could always opt to nuke gaza out of existence with their nuclear arsenal, only for the country's Prime Minister to reprimand him, not for the sake of humanity, but because he made such a revelation.
It's sickening. I hope these people will be tried for crimes against humanity soon.

As you can see on this mempool site, https://mempool.space/, bitcoin unconfirmed transaction is 223426, which means the mempool is congested. Ordinals and Inscriptions is part of what that makes bitcoin mempool to be congested. Ethereum network can also be congested with it transactions and its tokens transactions like ERC20 tokens most especially. Yes I see that. I see that there's no move in price as well. More demand means more price isn't it? Nope! The fees amount has no relationship with the price. The fees is not increasing because of Bitcoin's demand. It is increasing because ordinals have again become active and they are using Bitcoin network. So the network is becoming congested and the fees are increasing as per the normal process. This nonsense called Ordinals need to be stopped immediately. Otherwise, Bitcoin network will also become similar to ETH. The fees for bitcoin do have some natural correlation with price, that is at least if we assume that there's stable demand for space in bitcoin blocks. So really it's a multi factor issue, but you can't deny correlation with price. Go to the following website, what do you notice? https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactionfees-price-btc.html#alltimeBitcoin fees peaked when prices were also reaching ATH levels. There's some very high correlation with the two well known BTCUSD bubbles of 2017 and 2021. As of this year's peaks in fees, yes, you're right. They're directly caused by heightened demand for block space caused by Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens that take a lot of space in blocks with their really inefficient transactions, putting images and "token" creations on chain. |

What's going on here. Do you think this is suspicious from Justin Sun's part?
Definitely another warning to never keep funds in exchanges!
I read an article a few days ago and apparently, the identity of the Poloniex hacker has been verified, and the hacker must return the funds before the 27th of November (while keeping 10M $) otherwise Justin would seek help from law enforcement. So yeah, I doubt he's dumb enough to make such a statement if he's connected to the hack in any way, shape, or form. That could easily backfire. So someone would be able to steal millions in crypto but not competent enough to cover their tracks? I think this might be a bluff from Sun's part. Yeah, it's likely that the hack could be attributed to incompetence instead of malice, but... So long as I don't see the hacker returning the funds I don't think they've really got his identity confirmed. It was also reported that Justin sun used an ethereum block explorer to send messages to the addresses of attackers in multiple language.  Source: https://en.coin-turk.com/justin-suns-statement-on-poloniex-hack-funds-safe-and-hackers-identity-confirmed/Sending a message in multiple languages seems contradictory to knowing someones real identity. Just one of the many contradictions here. |

if teachers knew the secret to financial success..... they would not be teachers, they would be sunbathing on an exotic beach
in most cases academics are taught the basic principles and its for them to be motivated to look deeper and understand more and get involved more..
I've had professors of mine in university dodge referrals to lead corporations as CFOs or have careers in politics. Was it because they hate money and business? No, they study and teach about these subjects every day. But some people really prefer the study of something from an academic perspective other than being managers themselves. It's more of a political and ideological choice if anything. Being an academic has its perks, but surely a lot of money isn't one of them. But you can't really do both impartially. For instance, a lot of technological progress is based on academic research released to the public for free and funded by taxpayer money. If all academics were sucked into corporate environments much of today's technology that we enjoy with free access would be closed source and behind paywalls, and that's if it was ever released publicly. Really academics deserve more recognition in my view. Not everything is or should be about money. |

HTX (known before as Huobi global) was said to have suspended deposit and withdrawal. I have no fund there and I do not bother to login into my HTX account. But it was said that all losses are going to be covered.
It was also not long when HTX was hacked. It is just of recent.
As for me, I can never use anything like Heco chain.
I wonder where the money to pay back for deposits is coming from. I'd sure as hell get my funds away from these platforms. As of HECO, it's a blockchain based on Binance Smart Chain's principles, just for the Huobi (now HTX) exchange tokens. It was very popular in 2021's bull run and remains popular with Chinese users, as does the exchange. All these projects were running without major hacks before Justin Sun purchased HTX and Poloniex. Begs the question if it's oversight or malice at this point. |

 Source: https://vxtwitter.com/PeckShieldAlert/status/1727286692489679360It's crazy the frequency with which Justin Sun's owned services are getting hacked these days. It was only a little more than a week ago that Sun's exchange Poloniex also got hacked. What's going on here. Do you think this is suspicious from Justin Sun's part? Definitely another warning to never keep funds in exchanges! |

Don't fool yourself thinking you can make an income from gambling. The chances are stacked against you.
Maybe you'll get lucky, but it's not going to last.
See there's this thing called house edge on gambling games. It ranges from sub 1% on blackjack all the way to the high teens on certain games. House edge simply means that the game is literally rigged against the player, although to a small degree. This is necessary to make games sustainable. Otherwise casinos would earn nothing and perhaps even go bankrupt hosting them.
So consider gambling and all luck-based games as a way to have fun and pass time. Nothing more.

So Symmetric (ex. Ratimov) went to the full length of lodging a request with a site administrator just to change his username? AFAIK this is the only way it's possible to be done outside of being a VIP (50 BTC donation). And it was granted just like that? Uhhh... Weird but ok.  |

Here I am posting about the new and upcoming matchday.  To be honest I don't see anything very interesting in these matches. I expect at least some interesting play in the Aris - Panathinaikos match as it's probably the biggest match up in this particular match day. But the rest of the matches are not between two big teams. So perhaps most people would consider them predictable, unless an upset is to take place. I'm eager to see if anyone has some predictions to make. For now I'll only say that I'm rooting for my local team, OFI.  OFI had some good wins this season against bigger clubs and is higher in the standings but hasn't been performing that well lately. The odds aren't bad though, I'd take this bet. Any other predictions before me? |

Wow Greece really surpassed expectations by leading France to a tie.
Both teams played well but it's surely a surprise for Greece to not lose to a so far unbeaten France.
Sadly this doesn't mean much for Greece, the country was bound to finish third in the group and therefore be lead to play-offs for a potential qualification.
Who knows, Greece showing some strength now would probably boost confidence in the playoffs. But it's not going to be particularly easy.

Is this anything new though?
I'm pretty sure that we've know for a long time that free services such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube ande ven Google etc. make bank on selling our data to advertisers.
The more successful these corporations are at targeting you with ads right on your interests, the more likely it is they'll be picked by those being advertised.
So keep this in mind next time you sign up to another website.
Thankfully, GDPR kind of helps in this regard. Allowing people to delete their accounts and recall all their data along with any permissions they might have given in the past helps restore some balance in terms of privacy.
But most people will be tempted to actually ask for their account deletion on big platforms, as it would also require an account deletion and these platforms are kind of monopolizing access to their info sadly.

Football is the most famed sport in Europe for the longest time and its presence in the region has been cemented by international tournaments.
Many people have had clubs in their neighborhood that they support since small children.
So there really is no wonder that football is the most famed sport, at least in Europe.
But as you know, each region has its own favorite sport. For some countries it's cricket, for others its rugby, for the USA it balances between Basketball and NFL or sometimes baseball.
But really in Europe Football reigns supreme most of the time.
It really ties back to how most people grew up, with it being the most accessible sport nearby them, and getting to love their local association.

This question comes up frequently, and the answer should be a resounding no from everyone.
It's not healthy to fund with your own money someone else's addiction. Especially if you appreciate this person, you'd be doing them a better service by just saying no.
Better yet, you can offer them some options to get something tangible if they actually quit.
A history of irresponsible gambling should sound alarm bells. It's not bad to recommend help sometimes. Be it the person itself or someone in their close circle.

Socialization with gambling is one of the few good side-effects actually.
People sitting in their neighborhood cafe or restaurant would play some card games to pass time and do something together.
So it's an old tradition.
But see, the thing is, you can talk and socialize even without playing cards. And also, online gambling doesn't really do much in terms of socializing.
So especially when it comes discussing gambling with crypto, I think the effects of this specific benefit aren't that noteworthy.

Elon Musk is undoubtedly a visionary entrepreneur with a remarkable track record of success. His companies, like Tesla, Neuralink and SpaceX, have disrupted industries with innovations. currently, on X (Twitter), he shows his starship launching which would become his biggest asset of his empire that suggests his empire keeps getting bigger and stronger.
His empire is impressive, but it is not without risks. If he is able to manage these risks effectively, he is likely to continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the business world. However, if he is not able to address these challenges, his empire could crumble. Only time will tell whether Elon musk can maintain his prominence in the ever-changing business landscape.
Why are we, being ordinary people with ordinary jobs and income sources, judging the richest person on the face of earth who has businesses and companies that we never could create or make ourselves? For one, Twitter is a platform many users would go into every day, and Elon Musk's acquisition fumbled with it so much that it made it undesirable for many people for so many reasons. But most importantly, we shouldn't idolize rich people. Elon Musk is rich, so what? Does the fact that he was born wealthy prove much? It only proves that it's easier for an already rich person to become even richer. It's not a fair system that we have out there. And importantly, we have to recognize the certain privileges being rich brings. Idolizing someone because of wealth is the last thing to do when we're as you say ordinary people. |

Trading signals are trash.
NEVER pay to join such group.
If you want to trade safely, learn some principles for the very basics.
How much of your balance you should risk, what amounts to use to enter into a position, how and when to close positions or improve your positions.
Finding the perfect entry is never feasible even for the most experienced traders. Repositioning or exiting positions is very common and the best practice to beat the market. Signals are never going to offer that. No matter how basic it is.

All the client seed does is prove that results are pre-determined.
Being able to verify outcomes shows that the casino isn't just changing your results (for example, dice rolls) based on the amount you bet.
Honestly, there's no reason to believe that changing the seed gives higher chances of winning. It'll only give you another chain of pre-determined events.
If you're playing dice, you can change the win-chance and also your bet amount and hi/low pick before each bet. Dice is the most versatile game in terms of betting possibilities. But the house edge is always there.
So in the long run, the odds are always stacked against the player. Otherwise the games wouldn't be sustainable to host for casinos.
