They have purchases and sales, not all of them will only buy and buy without sell especially Bitcoin Spot ETFs that buying bitcoin mostly on behalf of their customers. They will receive demand of users to get their money back and it's time for Bitcoin Spot ETFs to sell part of their bitcoin treasuries.

With more people are interested in Bitcoin market, and with more institutional investors in this market, their total holding bitcoins will increase with time so 10% of total supply is possible.

There are many Bitcoin Spot ETF trackers to get almost real-time data.

It's like an unbelievable story as how he had his wallet file and already made his wallet backup then suddenly lost all of these things together. People might not make their wallet backups but this case is different.

Anyway, he made wallet backup but only one, and it's not enough. The advice for wallet backup is always making multiple wallet backups!

With Bitcoin, they can have their own Bitcoin banks.
With banks and bank accounts, they don't own anything.
Thinking like if they are safer at banks or centralized exchanges is a wrong thinking. It's not their keys, it's not their coins, and they are misled by customer support and account recovery from centralized platforms like banks or exchanges.

You are comparing Bitcoin blockchain and Ethereum blockchain. There is nothing technically as Segwit network at all if you understand Bitcoin blockchain well enough.

Segwit is only one of Bitcoin address types.

• Legacy (P2PKH): starts with a 1 as 1xxxxx
• Nested SegWit (P2SH): starts with a 3 as 3xxxx
• Native SegWit (P2WPKH): starts with bc1q as bc1qxxxx
• Taproot (P2TR): starts with bc1p as bc1pxxxxx

Blockchains have different security levels ^[1] and risk of 51% attacks as well as cosst of attacks so centralized exchanges take these things into account for their policies on how many confirmations are enough as min requirements for user deposits before crediting money to user accounts and allowing users to trade, then withdraw the fund.

Usually, confirmation requirements for trading is smaller than for withdrawal.

Another example

Some managers have temporary bans by sending PMs like julerz12 and AB de Royse777 as I remembered too but I can not find more details about their ban appeals in the past.

6 confirmations are no longer applied on exchanges as far as I know. 3 confirmations are enough and I see centralized exchanges require from numbers of confirmations as 1 or 3. Perhaps 6 confirmations were required long time in the past and even I have been in this market a long time, honestly I don't recall that I have ever experienced 6-confirmation requirement with my deposits.

With non custodial wallets, you have private keys and are actually controlling your bitcoin so that you are free to broadcast your Bitcoin transactions with your own customization in fee rate and UTXO selection.

With custodial wallets on online platforms, centralized exchanges, you don't have private keys and you completely depend on their decisions to approve your transaction request, broadcast your withdrawal. In addition, they can charge you very expensive withdrawal fees.

• Old story. Exchanges get profits from users' withdrawal fees.

You can use the Bitcoin blockchain without any further thing to do so your opinion is quite inaccurate. It is not like if you are not deep dive into technical things, you will no longer be able to use Bitcoin blockchain. Surely with more demand on privacy, you must learn more for your better knowledge and practice but it's your choice for your personal interest.

If you can learn, you can use Bitcoin well enough.

Protect your privacy.

Are you really sure about this?

Tech guys use Bitcoin in their technical ways, while non-technical people and newbies will use Bitcoin in their own ways that are more simple than tech guys. Everyone can use Bitcoin blockchain that is easy but depends on their need and concern on privacy, they will have to learn using different features on Bitcoin blockchain, with Bitcoin non custodial wallets, Coinjoin transactions and even commercial mixers.

Knowing the right thing to do, doing it at the right time and with a right strategy, while there is contribution from luckiness, it's very challenging while doing right things will increase chance of success and reduce risk of failure/ loss. That's classic but not everyone can do this rightly.

They can but they should only store their fund that is planned to use for gambling in their casino accounts. It's similar to only store money that is used for active trading in your exchange account. Otherwise, store your other funds, should be bigger, in your non custodial wallets because generally storing funds on online websites is dangerous.

If you want to gamble with big fund, it's surely that you have to store it in your gambling account. Anyway, it's kind of very personal customized fund storage and nobody will have same funds as well as fund storage strategy, then how much money is stored in an account.

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts.
Events made you scare about custodial wallets, centralized exchanges.

This one is interesting but it is not a new discovery in the forum, at least one forum member discovered years ago. The user is actmyname, I believe you knew him too. Anyone did it before actymyname, I don't know but I knew this nested sub posting style from him. 

I only picked a random topic from my quick check, it's in 2019 but maybe actmyname knew about this interesing posting style before 2019.

In the future, Bitcoin might have its technical fork like it did in 2017 for Segwit upgrade but altcoin projects that use Bitcoin as a tool for their scam forks won't succeed.

There are hundreds of Bitcoin forks and most of them either already died or abandoned. Some "Bitcoin forks" still survived but they're not interesting with cryptocurrency users and investors.

How Many Bitcoin Forks Are There? You will be surprised!!!
In short, these "Bitcoin forks" are created to steal your bitcoins.

When shitposters become future of the forum, it's what it is.

It's not only me complained about it, and with my experience as a member who had to fight hard to rank up with merit system since January 2018, I realized that ranking up in the forum in two or three latest years has become much more easily. I believe that many people saw the reasons and even comlained about that, it's simply a failure of merit system recent years.

Shitposters ranked up speedily, that's amazing for them but a severe failure of merit system and the forum.
After they ranked up, worn signature, earned money, their shitpost productivity increases more signifcantly, and make the forum worse.

The cycle continues, you know.

This question should be from a newbie member, not from you who have enough time here and already received merit like charm.

Good posters don't mind about merit especially when they already ranked up to high ranks and after they reach to a rank they want, merit is no longer important with them, but it is like funny things, gifts to make them happier a little bit.

Only members who need to rank up would feel stressful with merit.
Shit posters feel most stressful with earning merit because it is created as barrier against shitposter to rank up.

People can see good posts but don't have smerit for sending merit. Another bigger reason is good posts are covered by shitposts, so let's stop posting shitposts and report shitposts more. Don't spam, and contribute with reports to reduce the spam.

It's true with big casinos as they already have big customer population and they have passed a challenge of marketing financial budget which does not come from their own pockets but it is from a sustainable source that is part of their business revenue. It makes difference for them, as they only use business benefit, more exactly part of benefit, and reuse it for marketing. It's no longer challenge for them, while with young and newly launched casinos, they don't have considerable users, their business income is small, and they don't have sustainable money source for marketing.

In the forum, we see big casinos run their campaigns a long time while new casinos might stop their campaigns after 1, 2 weeks or 2 months as they can not afford to run their campaigns longer.

With newbies, it's good for them to start with centralized exchanges and custodial wallets, but don't read me wrong. I meant they should never feel safely with centralized exchanges and custodial wallets there. It's just during their very first days, if they don't master non custodial wallets yet but want to start with money in this market, they can choose CEX and custodial wallets.

By knowing about risk and benefit of custodial and non-custodial wallets, they will have reasons to learn about non-custodial wallets, and when they are ready, they should store their fund in non-custodial wallets.

When you teach them, tell them like this, rather than saying "as newbies, CEX and custodial wallets are safe for you". Skipping the second part that is important will make your advice kind of stupid. Like a half of truth is no longer the truth.
