Your security or insecurity would have been solved with a simple internet search, AI has been beating humans in poker for years now:


And nothing happens, the players keep on playing and those who make money with poker keep on winning. On average the profits are decreasing, but not so much because of the AI but because of the hardening of the tables in general.

I don't know, call the police and see if they will return them to you out of respect for your privacy.  

If the police have done it right, they will have transferred the funds to addresses where only they have the private keys. The only thing I think you can do is try to use yours to see if the bitcoins are there and move them to another address of yours that you manage with other keys.

This would be better placed on a technical board btw.

This does look to me written by someone who was born in Nigeria. Even if you are born in Indonesia and go to live in Nigeria, you will not write like that.


As an aside, he is supposed to be an Indonesian immigrant in Nigeria and care about Nigerian politics so much to the point of talking about how it affects "us" with the rest of the local board? He has integrated into society in record time.


Yes.

I edit because I think this will leave no room for doubt:


The title of the thread is : African Proverbs in Pidgin.

Red tagged by me.

Exactly, I guess they don't care because 99% of the customers they have will complete the KYC without complaint if they haven't already done so, and they will be able to continue making money, which is what matters to them.


Probably.


Lol, how strange, one of my own on the forum. With the number of forum members who defend big government socialism, despite the contradiction it implies with the principles of bitcoin, I'm glad to find someone who thinks like me.

I don't know why people have wet dreams about it. They only see one part of the big picture, the part that suits them best. If the monetary system collapses there is going to be pain, a lot of pain, and if you have a lot of Bitcoin or money in general it better not be noticed.


Well, the tax issue will have to be looked at I didn't know anything about it. If he goes to jail, I'm not going to cry, but I'd better wait for the sentence, and the settlement without admitting any wrongdoing doesn't tell me anything either, there are people who admit a minor penalty without guilt to avoid a small probability of a serious penalty.

If anything, I had a better idea of him at first. After a while I realized that those messages he throws out to the masses along the lines of "mortgage your house to buy Bitcoin, borrow from everything to buy Bitcoin", are insane.


This. Wasn't the former Bitcoin Jesus McAfee?

Just out of curiosity, the numbering of this list is by the order of inclusion in it?

Highly unlikely I'd say. I would expect us to hit $40K or even $50K this year but no more. It would be getting too close to ATH.


It cannot be predicted with certainty, but we can speak of probabilities. Looking at the history of Bitcoin, the normal is to approach the $69K peak after the next halving, not this year. To look at it from a positive point of view, we can continue to accumulate at a cheap price for a longer period of time.

I think you are like most people, you have a misconception of risk as applied to financial matters.

Many people think that for example investing in the stock market is risky, which is partially true or partially false, depending on how you look at it.

Investing by doing DCA in the S&P 500 for the long term is a very safe investment. On the other hand, playing roulette trying to buy and sell an individual stock, typically a small cap, in the short term is very risky.

As for cryptocurrencies, investing in Bitcoin with a long-term view with money you don't need is very safe, while investing in the shitcoin of the moment, especially if you are trying to trade it, is very risky.

What I recommend is that you get a lot of information about investments in general and before investing make a reasoned decision, and do it with money that you will not need in the short or medium term.

Lol. I recommend everyone to watch this video.

Is AI Killing Poker? Phil Galfond

The bottom line is that he is moderately optimistic.

Bots have been around for a long time and in recent years artificial intelligence tools applied to poker have been improved, but for the moment I'm still not a professional (but a regular) and I still have no problem making a profit from poker on a regular basis.

Even in a hypothetical scenario in which AI tools would be used massively online (a scenario that is not going to happen) there will always be poker in person. And anyway, online poker has already been a leverage in terms of technology because regular and professional players use statistics programs, calculators, equity, solvers... these are all tools that did not exist 30 years ago. We can't complain about a step forward in technology.

As colleagues have said, we can't know, but getting the high point of a bull market right is very difficult, and I remind you that back then, we all expected the peak of the cycle to be much higher. $150K ATH was a bearish prediction for what was being said at the time.

Now you may be short the money, is what I would imagine. By transferring to 3 addresses he is probably not going to spend it all but at least one of them is still HODLing, but this is just a guess.

Well, not surprisingly, it is in line with what is expected for the European Union but I don't see it as ridiculous, although I'm not saying I agree with it. They simply want exchanges to operate KYC/AML like banks. The only positive is the €1K threshold below which those involved in a transaction do not have to be identified.


Well, in principle this could move some of the use of exchanges out of Europe, but do you see anywhere in the world a big libertarian movement that will allow the use of Bitcoin as Satoshi dreamed? Lol, no, certainly not. What I think is that what will happen in the rest of the world is that little by little they will implement restrictive legislation like this.

It is clear to me that it is a security, so I don't know why he said it clearly before but avoided saying it in that appearance. Basically Bitcoin is a commodity because it does not depend on a central authority and the supply cannot be increased at will, something similar to what is happening with gold and other commodities.  Obviously this is not the case with Ethereum and shitcoins, which are more like bonds issued by a company, which are dependent on a central authority, that company, and can be increased at will.

It is not. What the OP expresses is the Malthusian garbage vision, which proved to be wrong and maybe if we wait a long time it will become true, but like someone who predicts that tomorrow it will rain, and when the sun rises he predicts again that it will rain the next day, to do it again and again indefinitely until it finally rains. With 8 billion people and growing it could be that in the end we will have a problem of resources on earth, but when societies become richer population growth moderates and even reverses, so it remains to be seen if we will ever reach that catastrophic scenario. What we know to date is that no, Malthus was wrong, because human creativity and productivity go far beyond his imagination.

This is the logical thing to do. There is a lot of repetition on the forum about 1BTC= 1BTC which is nonsense because it is either a tautology that does not contribute anything or it is simply false because of the purchasing power.

The purchasing power of 10,000BTC at that time was enough for two pizzas, period. At that time Lazlo would see it as $41 or as two pizzas but he sure wouldn't see it as $250M which is the purchasing power they have now.

Exactly. You have to take a long term view and not start crying because it drops from $30K to $27K. You have to look ahead 5 or 10 years. A cycle view at least. Prices now will be seen as a bargain in the future, just like we now see prices from previous cycles as a bargain, where a lot of people were crying because the price dropped from $1.1K to $900 and things like that.

The OP wants to get a 75% monthly return on this investment, which means an annual return of 900%, which is impossible. By taking that return and reinvesting the profits, after one year he would have more than $3M. If he manages to do it, he'd better tell us the secret to see if we become millionaires quickly too.

Actually, I think more threads should be locked when they go beyond page 5, and I personally rarely respond to threads that are longer than that. If we talk specifically about the Gambling section, all the more reason to do so.

By mentally disabled, do you mean autistic? Well, some autistic people can be intelligent, but autism does cause problems in relating to others, although I don't know to what extent in his case since he studied at the University.

On the other hand it is pathetic that he spent a lot of money to try to impress women and didn't attract them. I imagine that the ones in the photos are escorts. Very strange because a guy with a lot of money always attracts women interested, no matter how ugly he is, who wants to get his money but at least he fucks them. The article also states that he abused cocaine and alcohol.


Me neither.

I think I've been known to not hold my tongue if I want to insult someone in the forum, so your perception does not coincide with my intention.


I deny the premise, human interaction was not replaced by electronic communication. Or do you live in a cave and only interact with others by typing on your computer? Some human interaction was replaced by electronic communication in the areas where it was most productive and useful.

In the end, speculation is based on many assumptions, such as that halving will have a positive impact on the price. I think all, or almost all of us on the forum assume that the demand for Bitcoin will continue to grow over the years. I hope in fact that it is true what is said that today we are in terms of Bitcoin usage as in internet usage in the year 2000 or so. So if demand grows and supply shrinks with halvings the price can only go up.

I do believe, as I commented in a thread, that the returns as the cycles progress will tend to decrease in percentage terms, to be more modest. So, for the next cycle I think pretty sure we will pass $100k but I doubt more that we will pass $200k. I would like to see it, but we'll have to see.
