Jujur ane sendiri ga terlalu merasakan tarif pajak yang besar, malah ane merasa pajak penghasilan atau hasil investasi ane lebih besar daripada pajak kripto untuk saat ini. Setahu ane tarifnya juga flat bukannya? Jadi harusnya yang sering transaksi banyak juga ga berbeda tarif pajaknya. Yah kalau mau diturunkan lagi sih ane fine" saja, lebih bagus malah karena sudah pasti bakal menarik perhatian investor dst, dibandingkan negara lain yang pajaknya gedhe banget sampai 30%. Kalau sebesar itu baru ane yakin protes bakal lebih banyak dan hasil pajak malah jauh lebih dikit.

Ga ada yang tahu pasti gan, tapi pergerakan harga altcoin udah bisa diamati polanya dari dulu jadi ga kaget juga kalau pada dump setelah Bitcoin gagal nembus harga $70k. Kalau dibilang altseason sudah selesai, ya bisa dibilang itu benar, tapi bukan berarti ga bakal datang lagi dalam waktu dekat kalau Bitcoin juga balik lagi bullish lalu sideway. Jadi kalau yang ditargetkan adalah entry altseason, tinggal amati Bitcoin dan pasang stop-loss saja di tiap order altcoin agan biar nanti ga terlambat ambil profit atau exit dari posisi agan kalau market lanjut bearish.

Jadi ingat kasus Jenius dimana orang/customernya pada teledor ngasih kode 2FA sehingga banyak yang mengalami kebobolan dan dananya diambil pelaku. Ane sendiri sampai saat ini masih make tiga bank berbeda, dan simpanan ane di tiap bank ga pernah lebih dari puluhan juta untuk mengantisipasi hal kaya gini kejadian. Uang lain ane investasikan ke bentuk lain (walau tetap ada risikonya sih), dan yang lain ane alihkan ke kripto sementara sisanya ke investasi lain kayak emas.

Kalau bicara orang dalam susah sih sebagai konsumen mau ngapain, yang jelas kita harus memastikan detail akun kita ga diketahui publik, email dan password harus aman, 2FA jangan dibagi ke orang lain, dst. Standar sih sebenarnya, cuma kalau ga melek teknologi emang bisa terkesan susah.

Kadang ane penasaran dengan istilah mental juara ini. Cara melihatnya dari sudut pandang agan gimana? Dan beberapa orang juga menggunakan data statistik kayak Madrid ga pernah kalah ketika di final dst, tapi kan pemain dan konteks semuanya berbeda. Gimana agan bisa yakin akan prediksi tersebut? Jujur ane lebih suka analisa hasil permainan per game sebagai basis prediksi buat match berikutnya dibandingkan penggunaan term kayak mental juara dst, walau ga bisa dipungkiri hal diluar taktik juga sangat mempengaruhi bagaimana pemain bola itu main di lapangan.

Ane kurang sreg sih kalau dibilang timnas Indo dari dulu begitu, karena toh pemain internasional macam Salah pun kalau lagi koplak ya mainnya egois. Emang Marselino mainnya kurang bagus, tapi yang bisa menilai detailnya hanya tim pelatih. Semoga saja mereka setidaknya ngasih tahu detail hasil evaluasinya apa saja, daripada main asal tuduh dan simplifikasi karena jelas timnas udah ada perubahan dan mental pemain ga bisa terus dikaitkan dengan historis saja. Kalau itu selalu dikaitkan dengan habit timnas (yang mana ada 20an pemain lebih, dengan pelatih juga beda, dan para pemainya mainnya ga di Liga 1 saja), malah kurang masuk akal imo.

Berikut beberapa berita terkait malware yang menurut ane cukup menarik dalam beberapa minggu terakhir:
1. Malware Wpeeper yang menyerang pengguna Android dengan menyamar sebagai apps lain dimana penyebarannya dilakukan melalui appstore pihak ketiga[1]. Tidak jelas targetnya pengguna kripto atau bukan, tapi dari hasil analisis mereka punya kemampuan untuk mengambil data yang ada di device kita jadi tidak menutup kemungkinan file wallet juga termasuk didalamnya. Hati-hati buat yang sering make appstore pihak ketiga, jangan lupa verifikasi app yang mau agan download.
2. Dropbox mengalami security breach lagi di platform esignaturenya. Kalau agan sering pake Dropbox buat tanda-tangan dokumen, sebaiknya segera dicek dan ganti semua data sensitif agan (password dst) karena bisa jadi hacker masih menyimpan datanya (walau dari pihak Dropbox katanya sudah direset secara default)[2]. Data yang kemungkinan diambil dari data breach ini meliputi info pengguna, password yang sudah ter-hash, token login, dst.

Ane rasa ini hanya tindakan preventif saja untuk menghindari masalah hukum, kan bisa saja mereka dituduh memfasilitasi pencucian uang hanya karena memproses transaksi coinjoin tanpa ada proses AML yang pas. Mungkin karena definisi penyedia jasa keuangan di US kalau ga salah cukup luas, sehingga koordinator coinjoin ada risiko termasuk didalamnya kalau ga ada detail yang lebih dalam lagi. Ane rasa pengembangan coinjoin dst tetap akan berlangsung sih, cuma koordinasi dst mungkin bakal dikembalikan ke komunitas lagi, CMIIW.

Setahu ane Netflix akhir-akhir ini jarang bikin film yang bagus gan. Malah banyak proyek bagus yang discontinued bukannya? Kayak The Wither dst itu pada berhenti kan. Agak susah juga merekomendasikan film apa yang bagus kalau agan cuma ngasih list tontonan kayak One Piece dan Transformer doang. Mungkin bisa ngecek film animasi lainnya, kayak Sword of the Stranger?

At least there is a clear action that you can take, although I'm not sure how they decide your passport is not faked too. Their reasoning for not accepting your ID is that there is an increase in fake IDs being used by people, does this mean there is an increase in fake IDs in the market? I'm also surprised residence permit/proof is also not accepted for a similar reason. I guess it means they don't want to verify each document manually and resort to international documents for an easier verification process.

I don't have any experience with casino platforms for KYC issues, but I've seen some services that I used fall for database attacks. I don't think any platform is truly immune to this, so the only way to decrease the risk is to avoid KYC if possible. I don't think my opinion will change unless we can verify how a company manages their user data, since some of them were found to do some terrible security practices even though they're a big company. It makes me wonder why the government doesn't enforce or give sentences to any company that has terrible database security, which should improve how a company protects customers' data a little bit.

I mean, isn't that the beauty of a football game? No team is guaranteed to win and anything can happen due to various factors, from a terrible referee to some unlucky situations that occurred in a short amount of time. On top of that, it is hard to see the mental part of the game which affects how well a team plays in a cup competition or knock-out stage like this. It is disappointing for Villa fans, but that's how the game works. You could say the same thing when they win next time against a strong opponent, so that's that.

I think the discussion about problems with BTC for offline transactions is getting a bit off-topic for this thread, it would be better to start a discussion in another thread IMO. Whether Bitcoin is easy to use for everyday transactions has little relevance to the government regulating cryptocurrency casinos, especially when most of them are online. Even if there are offline casinos that accept Bitcoin as a payment to buy chips, the law likely considers Bitcoin as a legal means of payment even if they don't lump it together with fiat. CMIIW.

Just wait a little bit, as mentioned before they're asking you to wait for a day or two before you can start submitting your documents again iirc. If your limit is raised maybe your KYC is accepted, but they haven't updated the system yet. Who knows, as long as you know which documents are accepted and they confirm it with you, you can submit it again later.

That or they are one of the first to serve the prediction market in a niche market. At the very least, one of the few platforms that offers crypto prediction. Becoming the first on something helps them, although you could argue some businesses are not pioneers but become the most popular ones due to marketing. Nothing is wrong with that though, that's just how the market works in general. Not sure how to make a prediction market more unique in the future though, maybe improving the service quality will be the way to compete in the future. CMIIW.

I guess it depends on which casino you're following, but most of the time whenever a ToS is updated the pages will show the edited time, plus some businesses send e-mails whenever their privacy policy is updated. Building a bot to track if a ToS page is changed is also good though, even though I'm not sure it will be useful for a business that regularly sends info whenever their policy is changed.

What's the basis for saying accepting VPN should be the new standard? I guess that's true if you use a casino that focuses on privacy, but not for regular casinos. It's not really about inclusivity IMO, it is more about staying out of legal troubles.

I know that service, afaik, as they use Stake bot APIs to create an 'exchange' service, but it is using their tipping service which is probably not available on other casinos. Sure, other casinos can ask third parties to build a service like that, but I doubt casinos view that as a priority. I mean, a government can easily claim they're trying to run an exchange business when they do that, while Stake in this case can say they're not affiliated with any third-party service. CMIIW.

If the problem is the withdrawal, most casino offers altcoins, don't they? Maybe this is the solution from their side. Based on the comments above, most people seem to view this as the preferred way to withdraw whenever a Bitcoin transaction is getting expensive. I still think LN is an alternative that is easy to manage compared to running an exchange for the deposit problem as of now. CMIIW.

Unfortunately, that's the case for many entrepreneurs or digital media jobs nowadays. From streamers, digital content creators, indie dev, etc. Luck and timing are two of the factors that you need but can't control in any way. Being unique is also necessary, especially if there are tons of streamers in your niche already. I remember hearing how a streamer tell his story that he felt lucky he started when a lot of streamers in his niche quit, so he easily became one of the more popular streamers for that niche simply because he's the one who consistently streams.

I'm not sure about how it will impact your personality though. I guess it depends on the content. I mean, if OP wants to continue streaming on Kick he can stream different games, go outside and do some challenge for the next games for content, and so on.

Not surprising since some services don't accept driving IDs as the support replied. Just try to open a new chat/support window and ask them again about it. Create a new ticket or something similar, or just post on the ANN thread and contact their representative here so they can communicate with you directly.

I think that requires a lot of work since you're basically functioning as an exchange at that point. They will require another license depending on where they're registered, and I'm sure the cost to get one is probably not worth it. It adds another layer of security issues that have been proven to be difficult to solve by bigger companies. Asking for more convenience is a bit much IMO, considering how many alternatives the user can do to find lower cost. On the other hand, I do agree that adding something like Lightning Network is an acceptable request.

To be fair we don't really need out-of-the-box thinking to predict which side will win a game, that's just how prediction inherently works. No amount of data can predict the future accurately, regardless of the algorithm that you used. I mean, I guess you can create some randomness to mimick how real people behave, but it will take tons of data for the same probability of making a wrong bet since the game can easily get affected by other things. On the other hand, stats are flawed in this case since they don't take into account that humans are playing the game, not every team is the same even though their name is "Bayern Munich" since the 90s, for example. CMIIW.
