First of estimated time to confirmation is just based on the current status of network but its obsolete cause the network status keep changing every minute so even if you paid enough fee for the transaction to get included in the next block and all if a sudden the fee required doubled and it's pretty normal thing.

There were some free bitcoin transaction accelerators in the past but not sure still they are available but its not really a possible solution, if you can't wait just bumping the fee is the only option or the receiver can also pay the required transaction to get confirmation quicker.

AFAIK, BTC address never expires and in Binance you can only have one deposit address for bitcoin so if they sre changing addresses of everyone for some reasons then its due to development of their platform or something like that so why we should be worried about?

I am sure they have a warning like check the deposit address before depositing funds to the account everytime you copy so suddenly if it changes it doesn't affect me personally or unless I am using the address for receiving payments from someone and I don't have a way to contact the sender to tell the new address.

Not really, because one can hold 1 million bitcoin in 1 million bitcoin addresses so increase in the number of address can't be really considered as a sign of adoption happening from new people and I doubt that 1 million people have more than 1 BTC in their wallet, its still under control of few individuals and remaining is just as portions among all the small investors. But that is the real adoption cause we know its only 21 million bitcoin and there are 7 billion people all around the world so lesser the amount of bitcoin and more number of bitcoin address denotes the direct relativity towards actual adoption.

IMO, these 3 advices still make sense to me

1. Investing spare money doesn't necessarily mean the money you got after you meet all your monthly needs for survival, it is supposed to be the savings part from your total income which means you should save 20 to 30% of your salary and invest on to different assets to get returns in future.

2. I can point hundreds of them who lost their money due to investing on Bitcoin because they invested in a wrong way. Someone saw the growth if bitcoin at the time if bull market so they took loan at high interest rate and bought bitcoin but after few months the price dropped more than half price than their purchase price now how will repay their debt?

3. It's not only about potential growth, what if someone bought Bitcoin but deposited in a fake wallet so they lose all their assets in no time so its important to gain knowledge about bitcoin, how to store them secured for long term, where to buy it, how to avoid scammers while buying.

I am not taking any sides here because it's not clear yet what kind of trick OP used to make such amount of money but since OP can't login to his account anymore since the site banned the account permanently then how do you expect him to prove he is innocent.

And I beleive it's the job of casino representative to prove he cheated to exploited any bug in their system to make financial gains not the victim.

Let me make you to understand that you didn't try trading you tried the futures and options based on the statement you provided. Because there are lot of pseudo trading apps available on Play Store and app market which claims that you can make money and all you need to do is to predict the future movement.

I consider spot trading is the real trading where you buy a crypto on an exchange let's say Binance and wait until it rise then you sell it so at the end you made profits and this is how the trading works and just learn basics about trading before jumping into it.

Forum doesn't have such feature so its the sole responsibility of the campaign participants and managers to keep their words. Lot of members are running for a spot in a signature campaign but someone like mentioned in OP abused the given opportunity now everything gone and gone forever.


If it happened mistakenly for a week then you can logically explain and refund one bounty reward from former campaign but it looks like you intentionally did since it was happening for 3 weeks as far as I read the replies of others here so you were changing the signature back and forth at the payment date to ensure you get paid from both campaigns so its unacceptable and you will be not trusted anymore in this forum.

AFAIK, more or less the withdrawal fees are similar on the reputed casinos and if someone is using a casino is charging high withdrawal fee and found an alternative which offers the same service with low fee then just move to it. I know some reputed exchange 5x times of actual transaction fee for the transaction to proceed but still they are considered as the reputed trading platform so we can call them as robbers and abandon their services?

Trading in online isn't new, it exists since we can trade stocks, forex, goods and anything that has value.

Unfortunately I don't think everyone in this can become a trader of cryptocurrencies I mean they can make a life out of money coming from trading alone so its limited too but anyone who has the skills can make money easily.

But comparing online trading and doing physical work isn't same and you can say trading online is easy because there is not much of physical effort is needed however an individual has to work their brain too hard to make money so the point is making money isn't that easy as you say.

Banks create money and inject it to the economy via customers in the name of loan and the money is nothing but some ink and paper combined whereas a whale is an individual who bought huge amount of crypto assets with their real money and now has the enough asset value which can manipulate the price of crypto assets but it will work only in short term and whale risking the crypto assets too just like everyone else.

They aren't doing anything bad, they just use the situation to make more money with the money they have and if you see this as crime then every business in this world is following that strategy.

Scams are not moderated here so that is why they are still operating in the forum and promoting their site via people called signature campaign.

They have already negative tag under their name and known for their scamming behaviour so even if the campaign participants comes out and buzz they didn't get paid for their participation of promotional campaign there is no change for them because their reputation is already ruined so anyone who is promoting is doing at their own risk and am sure they are well aware of it as well.

Genuinely, I hesitated to invest in bitcoin when I know about it first and it took years almost 2 to 3 years precisely to understand I missed the early train now let's get into the investment and make some money then only I introduced into bitcointalk and understand the concept of decentralisation and why it is important in this world especially the depreciating fiat money keep all the people in the trap.

And the biggest fear is what if the value of the bitcoin goes to zero after I invested, obviously I don't have any doubt now but at first I thought in the way and realised reward is great compared to risk.

This is where it will lead to if we asses the price of BTC with the help of technical analysis and it doesn't necessarily has to follow the way we draw because there are also other factors is affecting the price now especially the ordinals which clogged the mempool and price went to crazy high for weeks and lasting till now which is the main reason why we can see the price of BTC is declining.

Technical analysis is good way to analyse the price track for short term especially for day traders but for long term its just obsolete and I can't conclude anything with the candles from past.

From user POV its a robbery but from the business POV its their source of revenue generation, its same on the cryptocurrency exchanges too normally they seek about $25 dollar worth of Bitcoin as withdrawal fee not as transaction fee so they can make money in this way too and it's justifiable too because of the service they are providing and nature of cryptocurrency value.

I advice you to choose the trading and learn more about trading, strategies, analysis types,etc

Trading can be started by anyone who has smartphone, internet and small amount as trading capital whereas mining is no more profitable for individuals unless they have enough hash power to beat the existing miners all around the world so I don't even know how much capital needed for someone to build that big mining farm in this 2023.

They locked their signature thread but the official ANN thread is still open so I can't conclude they ran away and about their exit I don't think they will because they are known to be scams still invest money to buzz their name around the forum and all the participants knew the consequences too but as far as I know most members already got negative tag so they were just happy to see a campaign that pays for their account.

So the actual lesson should be do enough research on ourselves before trusting the words of others lets take 1xbit as an example here so newbies learn to make your own analysis about anything you want to risk your money with.

First of all, Bitcoin isn't created with the intention of being used as an investment just we are using it in that way because we realised the Fiat is losing its value whereas the crypto is growing and keep growing so it lead to the big players to enter into the market and now its stand as a good asset for long term investments.

Not everyone aware of Fiat is losing its value even now then why they would be saving money in their bank accounts so only few managed to get and made lots of money and let the others to sit in the middle class people to keep chasing the money forever.

Based on the screenshot provided I think this is the wallet you are using : https://cryptoslate.com/products/greenaddress/

And they do have 24 words seedphrase which will be supported on Electrum if I am not wrong.

Anyway if you want to extract private keys for a particular address which is also possible though just select the address you want to extract the private keys and check out the keys and use it to import on Electrum or others.

I can confirm this because I figured it out a long way back and since that I only used the mempool feature to pick the transaction fee for all of my transaction via Electrum wallet but they do give inaccurate fee too because of sudden change in the network but the wallet isn't picked it up so we have to go back and set the amount we want to send to find the required fee at the moment.

But here I want to clarify something even if we use mempool estimation it doesn't guarantee that the transaction will be confirmed in the next block because I personally broadcasted many transaction with fee of 0.6MB from mempool and after I broadcasted the fee keep raising so I have to wait few hours for the transaction to get into the blocks.

Well all the transactions from Electrum are Rbf by default so if we don't like to wait we can bump the fee at anytime if we want.

Let's talk about the future, do you really think a company will hire someone because they might studied about the technology or who can actually do some contribution with the technology with no certificate behind the names. I know NASA hired a failed school kid or build a palm sized satellite and that is what I am talking about but still we are in the transition period of skill over degree but I don't think those days are not too long from 2023.
