Returning the money doesn’t happen all the time. In fact, it could put the exchange at greater risk rather than freeing them from legal implications. The implication here may be that the exchange is aiding criminals by sending their BTC back to them.

The best an exchange can do in such situations is to:

Freeze the account temporarily

Demand KYC from the owner

If found guilty, they report the whole situation to the appropriate authorities (this is much safer than returning the BTC)

The funds are then seized by the right authorities

Is there anything a defaulter can do at this point?
No, there is not much he can do. The funds are lost, and he would have to be extremely careful next time to avoid violating the rules and regulations of the exchange and the government.

Many of us in this forum were introduced to the forum by somebody you know who has attained some level of experience and rank in the forum while some persons who loves to become a bitcoiner heard about it and made some research and decided to be part of the forum.
Which ever way you became a part of the community, I think consulting or referencing back to the source that brought you onboard will be better and do you a lot of good.

To other ranked up members, you can also share the source of your clarity, familiarity and growth in the forum so to further help newbies or struggling members of the forum..

There is a new game, maybe someone will want to try it.

I still can't get over the last session I have playing  .

But it's good to see that there are new games for us to test and see how it goes, maybe this new game will be the one that will give us that good win that we are all looking for.

I cant show my last bets, because my account was blocked but im pretty sure there was none suspicious bet. im just betting on tennis pretty low odds too. someone know what to do?

Yeah. It's a double edged sword basically. I would go so far as to say that almost all crypto gambling sites have already been affected by these regulations to varying extents currently thanks to which it's very difficult to play anonymously.

There will always be a couple of legit decentralised sites that offer a good deal of anonymity, but not 100% anonymity and their market liquidities are usually on the lower side.

Gambling is just like to side game that either face up or faced down, and whenever it's down we tends to be that angry without selves without knowing that we can't eat our cake and have it back.

While gambling we should always gamble with the amount we think that we can afford to lose when we incur several loses and also, when we gamble and make winning we shouldn't be that ungrateful that we could start to regret of not using huge capital to stake the game to winning a higher amount in return, gambling does not work that and sometimes when we think we can't win that when we often secured winning, and also the time we might be sure that such game could give us winning that is when we lose them completely without even having that opportunity for cashout while games are running.

I think it’s pretty hassle to use a Bitcoin ATMs like in my country, there are plenty of digital banks that can make things easier to withdraw and deposit. Afaik it does require some verification so it’s no dofference in using digital banks. Also, you’re literally using it with a major company that handles the bitcoin ATM so technicall there’s non p2p happening at all. So yes, i can’t see any usecase that can make bitcoin Atm top tier.

They say they have the right to close any account without any reason and confiscate its funds.

To farm reports.
It would be great seeing it on individuals that did it thanklessly maybe above a thousand report.

I'm assuming this is one of the factors theymos has delayed it, might be wrong there though.

It's pretty easy to add a new badge and manually (or automatically) assign it to people, but with the reporter badge I didn't originally consider that people might reasonably want to opt-out of having the badge. Adding that functionality is a bit more difficult. Maybe sometime in 2020.

I also don't want the left side of threads to look like a rainbow explosion, so I probably won't add too many additional badges, either.

You're not alone having that regret of listening to the negative people that have said the same thing about Bitcoin. But it's not late to correct that mistake that you've done and to the person that have told you that. You're right, we're still early compared to what and where it can go in the next coming years to come. Don't let the other institutions fill their bags first before you because if that happens, you might say that it's too late when the price becomes more expensive and we're sitting at all times with a 6 digits price of Bitcoin and much better for us if we'll be on that time and then crosses the 7 digit figure.

But Bitcoin doesn’t care.

It’s global, fast, and permissionless. No middlemen. No borders. No tariffs. You can send value anywhere with no friction. That’s powerful in a world where governments are tightening control.

Tariff war? Not a problem. For Bitcoin, it’s a tailwind.

Yes that is why using web3 casinos or betting site is more better, though there are terms which is also controlling them but it is more better to use a stress free casinos because most gamblers wouldn't be that actively mindful not to violate the rules. Sure they lose their accounts completely without having to withdraw back their funds lost in the gambling site.

interesting, especially for someone like me who never turn off my phone.

Nothing still changes over the time, and yes if that gambler is that too lazy to read ToS they may use the FAQs to get what they wants at their finger tips which would only guide them while gambling. And of course isn't that easy to read whole thing but would be important to first be informed of most their likely and not so that they can abstain themselves from being attached any violation. 

A few days back, I came an article of how bitcoin devs are proposing a fork to fight against quantum computing threat. If this does happen, would it be a permanent solution against the quantum computing threats?

I do like the idea of the community solving a potential threat that could harm the ecosystem, but what would be the downside/risks associated to this?

Storing seed phrase in different locations does not mean that you can't let your loved ones know about your HODLings.

We have discussed this past before about letting your spouse know about your HODLings Incase if anything happens to you, so they wouldn't be locked out. So this case of storing seed phrase in different locations doesn't mean your love ones will not know about it.

Yes you are right that is why while using a gambling site it is that important to carefully read their terms and condition before using them and not being enticed by bonuses or whatsoever that may comes from the casino. Most times these are the angles that casinos doesn't like to reveal so that they would use that point to regular fished out those who are actually cheating or abusing their platform for self gain and interest.

The market is red thereby causing panic amongst investors, the new ones are worried they feel the dip season is here, the old folks are seizing the opportunity cause they see no reason to panic but rather a chance to buy cheaper, however there's a phrase every investor should key into whether new or old investors which is After The Rain Comes Sunshine and that's just it, since it's in the nature of Bitcoin to undergo volatility.

Almost all of crypto crashed 20% in an instance today, liquidating a large number of Long traders, I too lost all of my new and year old Long positions.

Reports claim over $1 billion has been liquidated.

Even if with grammar/spelling errors or hard to understand, good posts are still good in that they express some kind of unique idea or concept that is also interesting.

When trying to write quality posts, a lot of people act as though they're writing a book report for school: putting facts that we already know into their own words. Nobody wants to read that, and you will not get merit for it. Moreover, the length of your post and the quality of your English are only minor factors. In trying to write a quality post worthy of merit, you should offer new ideas, personal experiences, or perspectives that other forum users will actually find new and interesting.

If you are fluent in any language other than English, then it is highly encouraged for you to post in your local board. These boards often have tight-knit communities which will be able to help you, and in some ways you might be at an advantage compared to English-only posters.

In the English sections, only English is allowed. It is not necessary to speak perfect English, though you should be understandable. Try your best. If you're unsure whether your English is good enough, ask in your local board or in the Beginners & Help section

A "good post" reflects an honest attempt to contribute original thought to an ongoing conversation or discussion, even if the delivery wasn't 100% perfect. This is IMO of course, and I think this standard is fairly accomplishable... its not a high standard.

On his first day in office, Trump signed an order repealing 78 executive orders of the Biden administration, including the crypto related executive order SAB121 signed in 2022. This means that executive orders issued by the president are only effective during his term in office with no long-term guarantees.

The same will happen with Trump's "strategic bitcoin reserve" executive order, which could be repealed after Trump's short term ends and if the next administration does not same Trump's views.
So until the bitcoin reserve is approved by congress, no more bitcoin will be added and even if they find a way to buy more, it will likely be sold during the next presidential term.
