BitcoinTalk is the biggest forum in the industry and I feel like a kind of living museum, or a tombstone of sorts, for all those who participated in a specific period. You can see how the project evolved, compare different views of users from back then to now. You can see all the different points of view from different people, from miners to investors and developers.

There's nothing wrong with someone losing interest in an online platform. People lose interest in things at different paces and for different reasons. However, one thing is for sure: the cryptocurrency market is growing, and forums like BitcoinTalk are still at the center of this market.

This is already old news. Here is my thread on the same topic from June 24, 2022: Binance signs Cristiano Ronaldo for exclusive partnership to push NFTs

Other than that, I do not see how this is related to gambling in any way.

I think that Bitcoin is in the process of having a dramatic correction, and possibly a very large one. When this takes place, it is likely to cause panic among newcomers. This is the perfect time for an informed investor, who knows how undervalued Bitcoin currently is, to jump in and purchase some BTC at rock bottom prices. When it comes to investing in cryptocurrency, timing is everything. The most successful investors are those who know when to enter the market and when to exit. If you want to buy some BTC before it reaches its peak value again, now would be a good time to do so.

If you ask me what is the greatest change that happened to me, I would definitely say that it has given me a whole new perspective on things. When I first heard about Bitcoin, around 2018, I was very skeptical and thought that it would be a fad that will pass in a few years. But when I started to understand the potential of this technology and its impact on the future of money and finance, I became convinced that it was something truly revolutionary, and I realized that this is something much bigger than what I can imagine. So, I started learning about it and reading about what other people thought about it. Prior to this, I had never thought about money in the same way that I do now. The benefits of Bitcoin are endless, but the most important thing we should understand is that it can help us reach financial freedom.

I am not sure what you are asking. Can you rephrase your question?
"He" was banned because he violated one or more forum rules. The real reason is known to the moderators.


Nuking a user is the same as banning them. The only difference is that, after a nuke, their posts are deleted as well. This usually only applies to newbie members.

Yes. It is a risky business to bet on the winner of competitions like the World Cup. After all, anything can happen in a knockout tournament. But with great risk comes great reward. A $5 free bet is just a bonus- basically, if your chosen team reaches the final, you have a good chance to receive your initial deposit in the form of a free bonus.

The overall opinion of the crypto community is not positive and you can see it on most of the major crypto social networks. The majority of the negativity is directed at exchanges, and also lending platforms. In fact, there is more negativity with cryptocurrency services than with developers, projects or even ICOs.

In the future, hopefully, a more sustainable and reasonable crypto market will emerge from the ashes of these ponzi scams. This is part of a revolutionary process that is based on separation between useful services from garbage and scams. After this separation - free market will do rest. I know this is overly-optimistic but we will just have to wait and see. Nothing else. Apart from that, I believe the future of decentralized exchanges is bright; they are surely growing in numbers and will continue to draw in more and more users. At least crypto community is learning from its mistakes and trying to improve. And in the end, that is what matters most.

I don't know much about the PoKT Network project, but since you plan to trust them with your money, there is no reason not to trust their official wallet. I highly recommend bookmarking their official address. It is always best to never access websites through a search engine, especially when using a web wallet. Otherwise, you could accidentally end up on a phishing site. Also, make sure that your computer is clean of malware before accessing your wallet.

Looks like the info is legit. I found their tweet about it, but there is no explanation:


https://twitter.com/WhiteBit/status/1590745188955295746

I do not think that this is a war of exchanges. WhiteBit probably has its own reasons for delisting BNB, and maybe it is related to the war in Ukraine and Binance's policy regarding sanctions against Russia, or there is simply not enough volume trading BNB pairs.

Your Trezor device does not actually know how many bitcoins are available at the specified address. It is like a special key, which you use to sign/authorize transactions.



Basically, software on your computer creates an unsigned transaction that contains all the necessary information. The transaction is sent to a hardware wallet device, which signs it and sends it back to the software application, which then broadcasts it to the bitcoin network.

He said the same thing for FTX a few days ago, only to delete the tweet a day later. He was probably trying to buy some time so he could pay off a select few individuals.


It is hard to say at this point. He is either a scammer or just grossly incompetent for the job he was doing. I believe the latter.

I understand what you're saying, and I partially agree with you. DEXs aside, it is impossible to get in or out of crypto without using an exchange. But, you know that some people leave their cryptocurrency in exchanges? They probably do so because they want to save on some transaction fees or they are too lazy to go through the process of withdrawing their funds. It's like going to the store to get groceries, but instead of taking them home you leave your bags at the cash register. It's a big risk. Exchanges could be hacked or they could go bankrupt, and you are exposing yourself to a lot of risks that could result in loss of funds.

If you want to hold your Bitcoins and use it as a store of value, then the best advice is to avoid using exchanges as much as possible.

OP, if you actually have a problem with gambling, get help from people who know how to help gambling addicts. Please stop blaming casinos for your addiction. It is easy to get addicted to gambling, but it is not the casino that makes you do it. It is your own choice and responsibility to stop gambling, not the casinos' fault. But something tells me that if you hadn't lost, we wouldn't be having this conversation. So I don't think you are really addicted to gambling, you are just a bad loser.

I think it is just an interesting coincidence, nothing more. Unless CZ timed his tweet based on this. 

I personally believe that if Bitcoin will continue growing at the rate it is now, it is going to help our society in the way we have never seen before. The basic reason for this is because the money we use, fiat currencies, are being printed out of thin air. And this creates hyperinflation, economic instability and generally weakens society. But with Bitcoin, we have a cryptocurrency that isn't printed out of thin air; so long as people continue using it, we don't have to worry about inflation because there can't be inflation without massive money printing as seen in modern day economies. Bitcoin may be imperfect, but it is infinitely better than what we use now.

As I already said in my previous post on this subject, the role that exchanges play has been vastly overstated by the media and the business community, who would have you believe that a companies like Binance, Coinbase or FTX "holds" all our bitcoins. That is simply not true if you own your private keys (which is what true ownership entails). The vast majority of users had never heard of Alameda Research or FTX Ventures before they started hearing news of the latter's insolvency. This is why I keep repeating this mantra: do not use an exchange if you want to truly control your BTC! And, as we have seen in this example, local wallets are indeed the safest option.

Yeah, I usually like to read everything in the WO thread but I had to put that idiot on ignore.

In the end, the only way to be 100% sure that your crypto is safe is to remove it from an exchange and store it in a wallet where you control the private keys. One just needs to look at the exchange situation over the last few months to realize that this is nothing new or surprising. Businesses offering these services are simply not prepared for a rapidly fluctuating market. Nor are they prepared for the security risks of managing so much money. It is no wonder that they have failed in large numbers when dropping hundreds of millions in a week is a common occurrence in this market. That being said, you're still going to need to trust someone at some point; we haven't had a string of successful DEXs yet really get off the ground, so we'll see how those pan out in a year or two.

It is hard to say. But I reckon there will be a few more exchanges to go before that happens. Binance has been immensely popular. It grew fast, basically when there were few other options. However, even though Binance is an important company in the crypto space, it is far from irreplaceable.

Who will buy Binance? Probably someone with a lot of money. Perhaps Musk?
