I'm amazed by this number, which means that not only this guy was genius (in terms of being a scammer) by stealing the users' credit card data they would be using on the gambling site (it was allowed to deposit via CC on their site IIRC) or he'd have lots of other stuff where he'd have been selling something and stealing the data, and that trojan is also a part of that steal (by getting the access of PCs) as he'd have sold all that data online to various customers and made enough from there too. The world of internet has become too much evil. 

Sometimes, the most we expect from, is the one that betrays. This is the case here as well, and it's not the first time I've seen such a reputed site turning into a scumbag but I've never thought that when everything was going so smooth and good for them, what made them take this step and fuck up with their site's gamblers.

I literally don't understand OP's call whether the signals are based on scalping strategy (according to its name 5 min calls, I thought it's 5 minutes), or is it like we get daily minimum 5 calls there?

If it's 5 minute calls, then I believe that we are left with very less time to time the trade and enter it timely. However, if he's been giving 5 calls daily, then that's also a big number and I don't think anyone giving those many calls daily can actually get out from the markets in green every single day.

EDIT:
So I just checked his tg and he's doing both 5 minutes calls (with very nearby TP levels) and minimum 5 calls (at some days).

Time-locked hodl will definitely need the person to keep the funds in a "custody" even if the wallet isn't a custodial one, so that's worst actually. Bitcoin means freedom, so why should one lock their coins somewhere, that too for nothing? People who own BTC can stake their BTC and earn some % even if they lock it for a specific time, so I don't think they'll like this "lock for nothing".

Next, social recovery is shit and anyone in their sane mind won't ever trust anybody with even a penny worth of their money if we are talking crypto, because it's not 2010-11 period when people used to throw away their BTC like shit on the roads, now it's worth a fortune.

This is why we say that when a project gets listed simultaneously on 2 different exchanges on the same day (be it the same time or different), it doesn't matter whether the exchange is big or small. The thing is, when the liquidity is less then buyers are sure to bring up the price at such exchange but where liquidity is very high and people start selling too much immediately after getting their coins, then it never reaches to the level where the low liquidity exchange buyers brought.

Why are you worried btw?
Are you going to buy his stash?
Are you going to suggest him to sell at the peak as if you know the peak of the upcoming bull run?
Nobody gives a damn to whether he sells or not, there are many old school whale wallets that have now started to move their coins but still, the markets are stable as they used to be. So there's no point in discussing their movements because they hold a very small % in my views (I know they hold a lot but still, I'm talking collectively).

Wow, never saw someone explaining this thing so deeply.
Thanks a lot mate for sharing this with us because this has blown my mind by actually sharing the probabilities of how one can lose more in crash games, the formulae was tough but I managed to understand it and all in all, saw that there are very less chances to go out in profits.

My version would be:
They're taking out their profits just like every other investor out there, so I believe there's nothing wrong in doing that. If such movements are taking place, I think they'll most probably be done outside exchanges (through OTC dealings) in order to avoid hassle of paying taxes or trying not to get under the radar by getting caught in the eyes of governmental authorities. However, it could also be something like you said that they might be investing into something else (maybe dark coins like XMR or something else I don't know) and so they're moving out their coins in order to increase their wealth through other ways, who knows!

TBH, not everyone in this world can afford that much in a day because then, he'd need at least $3k-$6k a month just for the sake of food and drinks and rest expense isn't calculated. And it's literally not possible for anyone to earn that much a month because if you can, I don't think you need an extra source of income because you're already living a luxurious life as you can definitely visit countries if you earn that much a day or a month whichever relates.
However, the example is nice but he tried to set the tempo high of his comment, but I'd definitely say that it's actually motivating for those who spend a lot behind food and especially beverages (my dear heavy drinkers, yes I'm talking about you people)

We are just feeding a troll.
He didn't even come back after making this post, and I believe that high rollers are smart enough to not give a shit worth of a f()¢|{ to this guy's offer. He's just trying to become smart enough in his words thinking that someone would fall for his nonsense.

Not to mention this guy "spilled a glass full of water" on his harddrive in which he's got shitload of BTC - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5460640.msg62585336#msg62585336

Lmao 😂

I see many guys have quoted me as well as are either criticizing me with their arguments. TBH, I'd say - to each, their own. In my views, I'd do as I've said in my previous post that keeping a journal would really help me a lot. Let's say for example, if I'm playing a blackjack game, it doesn't involve skill but luck and I'm okay with that, but all I do is, I'd just add notes with + and - with a fixed bet each time so that I know how much I'm making and how much I'm losing. There's nothing like you can't do, all you need is focus, even in luck based games, let's say you analyze 10-20 games that you play, you'll know whether you're in profit or loss (I know most will come and say that they can see the balance but still, doing it my style will help them to stop at some point if losses take over profits).

TBH, it's not about BTC or altcoins but the greed in the investors to make money. It's not about the competition at all, it's all about getting rich as quickly as they can and most investors think and believe that if BTC will rise, alts will rise much higher in terms of % which isn't wrong at all but it's not the case every single time. So I'd say that BTC is for those who want their money to be parked in a safe haven asset, other altcoins are just clowns and will surely make you lose big if they won't follow BTC when BTC rises, this happens when institutional investors want to bring BTC's dominance higher over alts.

My observation as a gambler (when I used to gamble):
Don't take gambling as gambling itself but take it as trading. Create setups, strategies, bring in your skills in terms of both sports betting and live casinos, and with proper risk management and keeping journal of both - your winnings and losses will make you a much better gambler than just going all in on anything like a blind and then losing it all. It takes a lot of time to experience such a thing that I've experienced during my gambling period. Don't expect to make a living through gambling, but at least don't let the casinos enjoy their life on your money.

In simple words, GAMBLE WITH STYLE.

Looking only towards Bitcoin's price won't help alone because USD is now taking turns on various currencies and accordingly, it'll also affect the crypto space now. However, Bitcoin definitely has a chance to boost in price and go against all the so-called great USD positive news only when the BlackRock ETF gets approved exactly when we are so near halving. Then there's no point in seeing USD but BTC will rock by any means.

TBH, instead of looking for chart patterns, look for the critical numbers that come for USD such as PMI, CPI, Jobless claims, non-farm payrolls, etc. which you can find on any forex economic calendar. Then see the momentum that US Dollar Index gains/loses and then decide for your trade because it's an indicator of where BTC will head towards. Nowadays, I'm observing that the institutions are definitely considering these things in order to accumulate and distribute at times when they believe what's correct for the market to head towards.

I don't understand why people still compare BTC with gold. I do remember that BTC is called the Gold of crypto, but that doesn't mean that it's gold for real. For BTC to reach the marketcap that gold holds, it'll need insane buying and for that, lots and lots of money is needed and even these interferences from SEC trying to kill some big cryptocurrencies under the name of securities needs to be weeded out. It'll take too much time for such a target to be touched.

Lol what? Negative impressions?
Dude, I believe you're new to trading or something?
Even small traders can diversify their money and keep it for future purchases where they can buy more for less whenever such situations like a crash arises. Lol tell me if your small trader have gone all in at $69k and sold at $16k, what would he make? A huge loss. But if he'd have bought at high for some % (let's say 25-30% because we all know that we are surely going to see a top and it's definitely going to retrace) and then decide a level like $45k and then the final purchase would be at $25k (assumptions I'm talking about), then he'd still be in some profit that'd cut his losses a little. But buying with total capital is stupid and shouldn't be done, you must have heard - never put all your eggs in one basket. I'd say that put your eggs in that basket one by one at different times and different areas and you'll be fine. Don't get offended by my words but as I understand, those who come here and think that Bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme and invest, they'll surely lose because of their mindset.

Those who have the power to hold, will not only just hold it but would have also bought it in phases whenever it crashed down. They're smarter than the ones who just hold alone and do nothing. Because the risk you take from the downside is worth the investment because you not just try to earn more through your profits but if you wish to take out your money early with less or no profits from the positions taken from its high, then you can go for breakeven and I guess many had the chance to do that. However, welcome to the forum. I hope we will all be very useful to you in terms of providing the kind of help you need and we expect that you too become one of the greatest contributors of this forum.

Thank you so much for giving me a chance to review Utopia P2P ecosystem. I'll try my best to be very honest in my review here

After downloading the Utopia app on both my PC and mobile, I'll be classifying a few things that I find interesting on the PC app and want on mobile.

First of all, what I liked on PC app was the uWallet that gives us the opportunity to send the CRP to our contacts for a minimum fee, which is currently not available on the mobile app but I believe we'll see it soon there once some updates take place. However, I don't know if it's feasible to ask or not but I'd like to see a tipping system take place inside the chatting channels too so that it becomes super easy for a user to tip someone some CRP and surprise them, while only these 2 users know that such transaction occurred and none others.

Account creation process is a seamless one and one can easily create an account on both PC and mobile apps. However, it looks more convenient to use on PC instead of mobile due to several reasons like the mobile version seems to be in beta phase and the devs are still working hard and developing it and I hope that this becomes our first alternative against telegram once it has all the features (except mining) of the PC app. One more thing I'd like to draw your attention to, is that the mobile version hangs a lot and whenever I try to quote someone and reply or share, nothing happens and it shows "not implemented" whereas no such problems could be seen on PC app. There seems no search button to go, find a conversation through some keywords inside the mobile app, this is one interesting thing I'd like to see in it.

Then comes the mining feature that is only available on the PC and for a very small amount of CRP, we can create a thread and start claiming some CRP through its PoS technology utilisation by giving strength to the network. Again, this is not available on mobile app and I don't think it will ever come to mobile because there are some minimum requirements which according to me, a phone cannot fulfil like running Linux to operate mining.

Then the uNS (Utopia Name System) is one of the best features I liked. Again, only available on PC and not phone, so I hope it comes to the phone too (only after uWallet is integrated in it). However, its registration is very easy and can act as an alternative to public key which is a great thing as it can help users search you through your name itself instead of needing your public key, but as the saying goes, nothing comes for free and the smallest number of characters you try to buy, the higher you pay in CRP. So the longer the name the better.

The channels on the apps are very Community-centric, and people here can easily create more channels (and can even change their names if they wish to) and ask others to join, while some also reward users randomly with some CRP for being a part of their channel, one example is uMusic where you don't just get uVouchers but can also listen to some great music from various genres.

Idyll is one more thing I love the most, however I believe it needs some polishing before it can actually produce great results. But the way we can anonymously use it without having any ad services knowing about our activities is a charm.

All in all, I'm happy by using the PC app but it'd also be great if there are more tutorials for users who come there as a novice to let them learn almost everything about the app. I don't expect much from the phone app though because I believe the priority currently is the PC app, however I'd also ask the team to please make the user interface a bit easier for them to understand or add some (?) kinda things to major things to let the average user understand more about that. I also see that if we use emoji from phone in phone app (like this: ☺️), then currently the PC app is facing issues in displaying it but they have their own emo (which cannot currently be accessed on phone). So if possible, please sort this out too.

Edit: I also forgot to mention about Utopia AI that you can find in your contacts list that has in-built ChatGPT which helps you out with all your questions quickly, and without anyone knowing what you are searching about. It's an amazing feature that I tried recently and it's just amazing.
