I will call Steve and other DT members to take a look at this case. I don't want to conclude anything right now. I will ask Steve to give a proper explanation of this accusation.

For the information of other members, I talked personally to Steve about this accusation earlier since OP is one of my online friends. I tried to solve this issue with Steve. But I am not happy with the SportsBet decision, so I let OP do whatever he thinks is best.

There should be something to replace mixers. Because legal authorities are trying hard to shut down all the mixers, I don't think someone has taken the risk of opening a mixing service lately. The only way to run mixers on Darknet, which will be hard and complicated without promotion, the forum has already banned all the mixing services from the next year. Binance also found wallets connected with mixers and asked to provide details transaction of that wallets. So it's going to be even harder to use and find legit mixing services without risks.

I think you have to ignore payment gateways that ask for KYC verification for your customers. We often use cryptocurrency to protect our privacy when we don't want to share our personal documents. But when customers ask to verify KYC to make payment, they won't make payment through cryptocurrency on your site. So I think BTCPayserver would help you. There is also an altcoin payment option. Customers don't need verification, and you will have full control over the funds.

We all know that holding Bitcoin would give your friend good profits. But we don't know his actual situation. We have to remember Bitcoin for life, not just hold it for a lifetime, and that he can't spend his earnings in his lifetime. If it is necessary to survive, then he should sell a part of Bitcoin that he actually needs. The rest could be held for a long time. Often, I sell my holdings when I need them in real life and buy them back when I can. This is part of regular life. So don't let him be confused. A bull run seems almost imminent and could make good profits from bitcoin investment.

First of all, anyone can't put age restrictions on anything that is decentralised. Since Bitcoin is decentralized, age restrictions are impossible for that. Whoever knows how to use Bitcoin might simply accumulate it. Parents should help their kids learn Bitcoin, of course. But they should not create pressure on them. Making kids familiar with Bitcoin is enough at the beginning stage. You can store Bitcoin for their future, but don't force them to handle it. When they mature, they will understand the value of Bitcoin because they were familiar with it at the beginning.

Bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency, and often I have seen haters blame Bitcoin, not Altcoin. They always target Bitcoin rather than altcoins. It's true that most of the investors lost funds from the altcoin investment. But since Bitcoin has been ruling the crypto industry, everyone actually blames Bitcoin. You can't convince haters ever. They will always present an excuse against Bitcoin. If you ask me, then I would like to blame altcoins for such losses. A few altcoins even never reached back to ATH. I have lost a lot from Altcoin as well.

There should be mixers monitoring sites like BestChange. So everyone would get the services from there, but it will be hard since Mixer won't offer any affiliates for that. However, they can still promote mixers in other forums, or they might run ads where it is accepted. But for users who want to use real services, they would be hard to find. Scammers will take advantage of disabling mixer services. Also, there are many mixer campaigns ongoing, and many forum users are related to them. So everyone will lose their campaigns. But we have to follow the forum rules anyway.

They seem to have activated their card service again, but it is not working for all the terminals yet. I have tried to make payment for a Facebook subscription, but it has been declined where it was accepted previously. They noticed their card wouldn't work at all the outlets, but slowly it will work everywhere. So we may need to wait a few more days to make it acceptable everywhere. But yes, their service will remain the worst unless they become more supportive.

I have been receiving couple of mail daily to verify KYC for trust wallet. Though occasionally I have been using trust wallet but not as an main wallet. This is absolutely hacking attack. They provide some links even I haven't bothered to click. I just deleted message instantly. Non-custodial wallet won't ask you verify KYC anyway. There are no options to input your mail during creating trust wallet. So no question to receiving KYC verification mail from Trust wallet. It might a result of data breach from various crypto sites. So don't click any links if you receive smialr mail.

You invested your savings in Bitcoin and got good profits. It's something you invested in for your needs. Holding bitcoin doesn't mean you have to hold it for a lifetime and never sell it. Bitcoin filled your needs the way it should. Now you can start investing again when you can. The bitcoin journey hasn't ended, but you may still accumulate on dips, according to you. I never regretted selling my Bitcoin. I used my bitcoin for my needs. And when I had a chance to accumulate, I did it.

I fully agree with Zaguru12, exchanges should always be considered marketplaces. You should deposit the amount that you want to buy something, then move it to your own non-custodial wallet. This will be your personal bank. We have seen many exchanges go bankrupt, and users have lost funds. So if we can't take lessons from the past, then we have to be ready for a loss. Nowadays, hardware wallets aren't too costly, so the safest way to store your cryptocurrency is in your hardware wallet.

It's just about to ban mixers from the forum, not totally banned all over the Internet. It's a different question if a legal authority shuts down a mixer. But it seems theymos want to restrict any activities related to mixers, and he is going to take action against users who redirect with mixer links. This means you can still use the mixer outside of the forum. You have to find yourself on the internet if you really want to use it. However, since the forum implemented rules against us, we should follow those rules. You have to avoid posting mixer links to avoid a ban. The forum will not force you to leave it.

The problem is that most people are introduced to Bitcoin with the wrong information. When they see Bitcoin volatile, they think of quick-rich schemes. So they jump into it without further research. So due to a lack of knowledge, we are missing some important things related to Bitcoin. We have to invest so that we can afford to lose. Otherwise, we can't hold it for a long time in the event of a dump in the Bitcoin price. Also, it's an important part of bitcoin investment to know how it works. So if we know everything related to Bitcoin, we may not consider it a quick-rich method.

Electrum would be best, but security depends on you and how you want to secure it. Electrum is easy to use since you don't have to download the whole Bitcoin blockchain, but it's non-custodial. Just make sure you are downloading the original version from the official sources. Even when updates are necessary, just use the official source instead of notifications inside apps. A better option is to buy a hardware wallet, which is more secure if you can afford it. Don't forget about a strong backup offline.

For a software wallet, Electrum is safe if you can secure your wallet seed phrase. We can't say any online wallet is 100% safe because it is directly connected to the Internet. We have a history hack for Electrum through a pop-up update. So always make sure to update your software on the official Electrum website and verify signature. It will be better if you can buy a hardware wallet that won't cost you much but will give you the best security. You need to make sure any wallet you have been using seed phrase is secured in multiple safe places.

For me, I don't see much complicity here. Because you are accepting Bitcoin for your business, which is a great option. So you have to run your business continuously, and for that, you have to circulate money. If you hold 100% of the Bitcoin payment, then you might need to add capital from your pocket, which is equivalent to buying Bitcoin. So just holding a part of your profit would be the best option for a long time. This way, your business will run smoothly, and you can also profit from the bitcoin while managing your needs.

It's sad we lost CZ as Binance CEO. But I don't think it's regrettable since he is the founder and owner of Binance. He will always take care of his company, and he won't leave us alone. On the other hand, the new CEO is also highly experienced, and he could handle everything since CZ will back him. So we don't need to worry much about the new change at Binance. Let CZ work freely now for us.

When you see their Wikipedia page, you may know why they're controversial stable coins. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tether_(cryptocurrency)

I admit they are the most popular stable coin right now, even though there are a lot of controversial, but they are totally centralized. They also lack transparency, despite their claims of transparency. The most dangerous thing and concern is that they might freeze any address with the funds if they want. So that's why they are marked as controversial and suspicious stable coins.

At the beginning, when Bitcoin was too cheap and wasn't popular, investors weren't very serious with their wallets. Hence, they forgot about their wallet, and when they noticed the current position of Bitcoin, they woke up. But unfortunately, a few of them totally forgot about their wallet credentials. I have seen many cases where people can't remember the apps or wallet names where they stored their bitcoin. But time has changed now, and we are very careful with our wallet credentials. Because the Bitcoin price is too high now and is still growing. So we must take care of our wallets to avoid big losses that we can't afford right now.

Hold tight, one of the main reasons why bitcoin raising continues. Assume most of the holders are holding Bitcoin for upcoming ETF news. They want to take advantage of the upcoming volatility for ETF approval. On the other hand, Bitcoin halving is quite near, and a massive pump is expected in this situation. Holders don't want to miss the train when Bitcoin starts bullish. Though I am expecting to buy in the $30K zone, I am not sure if it will reach those points.
