I so much would like to see this happen. Mostly because i would pay money to see Elon going down.

And people who are rooting for Elon, have you seen what shape he is in? Even if Elon lost weight and got stamina (which he obviously doesn't have), Mark would have so much BJJ head start that Elon couldn't catch up. And to top of that, Elon would think too much of his skills, as he usually lies about them in other areas as well.

But i doubt that this would happen as Elon losing woudn't really fit well on his image. And i am thinking he is capable of realizing he would lose.

Both of them are scumbags, Elon is transparent how much he is, and Mark at least used to be but he has brains to shut up and not having public meltdowns so we don't know how much. So he has better PR.

Good call. I had that feeling with some altcoins back in day. My instinct was saying that i would need to sell as i made 10x or something like that, because if i went to sleep, it might crash to zero as many pump&dump coins did back in time.

But was that self restriction you were using? Because all my instincts would say that i would need to cash out, while self restriction to me would be following trough my plan and wait for every bet to resolve.
This is why i don't watch how much money i would have, even if i would be wathing the games/fights.

This was my story as well, i has a high rank account before i even realized that there are bounties to make money from, might have been hero. I mostly posted under announcements to keep up what's happening and to argue with the fudsters. I think every single one of those coins has died already so fudsters were right in the end. Also altcoin announcements were the place where i found new mineable coins (before icos) with fair launches to not so fair launches.

Thing is that most likely Rush thought that his way of doing things were reasonable as well. As most of us aren't deep sea experts with submarines and deeps sea like Rush wasn't. Most of us aren't experts in political science either. And countries have move moving parts than submarines.

And even when everything affects to everything and there are countless of studies about political science and how to keep careful balance, for some reason people who haven't read one book think that they know best what are reasonable regulations.

And since you already wrote that people running that sub were bunch of idiots, what do you think rest of the human kind is like, who think they know what's reasonable regulation?

Average person who plays lottery is happiest after they have bought the ticket. And i totally understand why. Dreaming what would you do with life changing money is fun. And since people aren't wired to grasp probabilities especially with big numbers, they deal with it by picturing smaller groups. Then winning seems more possible too. Since someone is going to win it, it might as well be them. And that's a comforting thought.

Humans never had an evolutionary need to understand big numbers so we can easily be manipulated by such numbers.

That's not really a choice. If you don't have money to both investing and food, you shouldn't be investing anything. But to figure out how to eat healthy and cheap, and where to get money from, because at that stage money isn't coming from investing. And you should only invest something you can lose.

If you are in a situation where you choose eating cheaper so that you can still invest, that's a choice. Even then don't compromise by eating unhealthy. Eating well keeps your brain and body in such health that you are able to work more efficiently. Also you will save money when you don't get sick so easily as you would if you ate unhealthy.

It's about priorities. And health should be your priority nr 1.

That sadly isn't good enough indicator for success.

Startups are funded for years by investors and several of these startups are not able to make profits for years. For example it took Apple 2 years, Google and Intel 3 years, and Facebook/Meta and Ford 5 years to be profitable.

Adoption can take time even if startups are more feet on the ground profit centered. And more experimental they are, more likely it is hard to find adoption for your product. Especially when startups are cutting edge hi-tech and other infrastructure isn't ready for it yet.

Do you mean it should have less then 50% in the market at launch? Because you can't really prevent people from dumping when most of it is circulating already.

Also bitcoin didn't have any circulation when it started and it's doing fine. Method of circulating coins at the start came only after icos with premined coins and after that layer 2 token sales where supply was distributed between buyers and others.

Pumping your own token or coin would be down right illegal, so it's either done by pump & dump crews or with organic growth,
BNB was pretty much basic ICO with erc20 tokens and that too was dumped at the start, in hindsight it was a short time when it was still dumping but no one knew that at the time, also binance seemed very much like a scam at the start with pointless erc20 exchange token and no one wasn't sure if it's going to be in it's own chain any time soon. Or ever.

I don't even know what the weirdest part of this is. If the son wouldn't be in control of the money he won how was he able to gamble it in a first place?

Something on this doesn't add up or those Nigerian laws are just plain weird on monetary and gambling and parental rights. I mean why would the father was in control of his winnings if he wasn't in control of his gambling?

We are on a brink of the solution. And that solution is Zero Knowledge tech.

People confuse privacy with anonymity while those can be different things. Anonymity can be used to escape regulations while privacy can be used for confidential transactions where you choose what aspects you want to reveal. Zero knowledge tech allows us to be auditable while being shielded from prying eyes.

China perhaps wants total control and surveillance without ability to hide anything, but this doesn't apply to most countries with democracy where privacy indeed is seen as human right.

Obviously some governments want to step over that line and spy their people, but that's mainly because there wasn't any other way yet. ZK tech brings change to this. It's good that peope want to bring awareness to problem with lack of privacy, but they should also be educated of solutions that are soon ready for use, so we can inform our congressmen as well.

Yep, i dunno why people make up mythic stories when they are easily verifiable.

But probably Cameron made that millionaire think he could do that on their own as well with more then questionable gear. Deep ocean diving shouldn't be taken lightly and given that they were using a cheap game controller for the sub, and rejected a pro military experienced personel because they weren't inspirational enough. So it's safe to say the man didn't know what he was doing in the first place.

I feel bad for the boy but they probably died fast, as when the pressure finally gave in, the implosion killed everyone instantly if they still were alive.

Imho investing to bnb is anything but safe and conservative. While BTC and ETH are not under attack, at least at the moment. BNB is higly linked to binance CEX and if that goes down, or even CZ as individuial it's bye bye for BNB.

No one wants that but the threat is clear and more then real. It might not be an imminent danger but all it need it one more set of bad news from the court case and it will dive and shorters with a leverage would see that dive will be hard.

I disagree with your point. Casino's don't need to counter martingale strategy, nor it's effective. It's mathematically proven to be not a good strategy by any means. It's based on gambler's fallacy and human's inability to understand probability or big numbers.
 
People can say that they understand how probability works, but we are intuitively wired to not grasp it. So we want to use it as we see more meaning into it. It's just as effective as any other method. All based on luck and probability

I wouldn't, not that i even knew how to. But weirdest thing is that there was a one guy while back that "cheated" in casino at Finland. Casino saw this guy taking video from slot machines, then he changed slot gambling pattern, removed auto spins for example and started winning. Casino took that man to court explaining that he cheats "somehow", no one even seemed to know how. And they made him pay the winnings back.

Now i am guessing they knew how he was winning and it just wasn't never released to press, but imho if you design a slot machine that way it can be cheated, it's developer's fault all the way.

Affect of bitcoin to elections is peanuts. That's really not the subject majority is interested about, no matter the stance on it. No media is even pushing candinates to have a stance on that as viewers and readers wouldn't be interested on that. So they focus on the hot button issues for majority, those will determinate the winner. I understand that crypto people are interested on that but the fact is that it doesn't matter to most of the people and while it might be a major factor to some of us, it isn't major factor to even all crypto holders that can vote in US.

That's not patience. Patience is doing something you have control over. With altcoin bounties, bounty hunters are forced to hold until their tokens are released or listed, and many of them sell right at the first moment it's possible to do so. Sometimes bounty hunters get attached to coins/tokens they are promoting, but mostly it's just for a show. Anti FUD of sorts.

You might be one of those few patient ones who sell them in a years after, but most of bounty hunters will sell under presale prices if necessary. Investors sell when they are in profit or if they want to cut their losses because bounty hunters or someone else is dumping the price. These two groups work very differently

Seems like too much of a tinfoil hat theory to me. Big invesement companies (not US) are investing into it. They aren't running a custodial exchange nor they are trading securities or anon coins. So comparing this to traditional CEX like binance is pointless. Binance could go same route if they wished, but that ain't their modus operandi. Also i don't think EDX will be offering staking as a service, which isn't even real staking to begin with.

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) however are whole another issue and not necessary related to crypto in any way. Nor it isn't really in SEC's wheelhouse. So i am not sure how that applies here.

I congratulate you for your fresh optimism that there will be a bull run then for your alts.

You'll most likely get wrong answers only. But you haven't told us what you are hodling. There's really not any good estimate for that. You can take a look from your coin's history you have from the coinmarketcap. How long took it last time, and after that you just wish it would repeat. It however doesn't do that, history in the chart doesn't repeat itself, it can be similar but not exactly same. Your altcoin might also just die while others grow.

This is always hard. Don't assume you can sell the top. Very few people can. Settle for profit you can get and don't look back that because you might regret selling. Also looking back will most likely make you buy back too early as you think the bear is just a dip.

Best signals to me are delusional people. Influencers popping up everywhere, high level coverage in press of people who made it, jealousity all around and everyone selling will be called fudsters, and everyone around you is telling that you are crazy to sell. And i am now talking a top of altcoin bull market, not just one single altcoin.

Selling in the top reminds me of leap of faith in indiana jones. Your whole body tells you it's insane to sell now, but you need to take a leap of faith to an invisible ledge and hope it holds and you didn't make a mistake by believing in yourself.

I don't see any issue here, as long as they choose not to trade assets that are classified as securities. Also they are non-custodial exchange so if SEC wanted them down they would need to plan whole new way to attack them.

There's no source on that twitter account's home page. So here's one source:
https://www.investopedia.com/schwab-backed-crypto-exchange-edx-goes-live-announces-funding-7550102

Seems like it's well thought out. As long as they follow rules of SEC, everything is going to be ok.

That doesn't make much sense.

You just underlined all the points why it's dangerous investment. How all the points you made are signals of centralization, and how is that a good thing?

In any other space but crypto space where permissionless transactions is they key element, you would have solid points with the trading volume of CEX etc. But in crypto it just underlines the danger that it's so much depending on centralized entity.

Actually when you dig a little more deeper, everything falls apart even in traditional investing. Binance is just dealing with most difficult and dangerous attack since the history of altcoins. That would throw the price down even from traditional investng point of view.
