but I suspect that some of these countries are under pressure from the IMF or World Bank to outright ban cryptocurrencies as a condition for getting further loans.
Just like El Salvador, that had to withdraw BTC's legal tender status and also reduce BTC exposure, in order to receive a $1.4 billion loan from the agency. It is crazy how far the imf can go in order to smother BTC and crypto's growth around the world. Because if they can make such demands in El Salvador, then they can also pressure other countries into anti-BTC laws and policies to receive loans from them. Pathetic. Only some developing countries.. because billions in dollars is not that much when you have GDP in trillions..

IMF will not say or do anything. What IMF is against are the countries that makes bitcoin a legal tender. IMF have not against any countries that legalized bitcoin, it is the countries central banks or government that are against bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. The central banks of the countries will most likely dislike bitcoin while the countries law makers are not doing anything. But luckily, citizens of the countries do not need to wait for the government before buying and selling bitcoin.
If they needed to wait, it would be no different from any work needed to make something happen in the gov institutions

@Alex077. It very much appears that this 4 years cycle occurrence that everyone has been wishing to happen again might not be real this time if Saylor will keep buying hehehehehehe!
Michael Saylor has been buying for six years now, and the four-year cycle hasn’t played out – at least not on the upside. Let’s see if his strategy finally works, because it seems that the more he buys, the worse the price of Bitcoin behaves. Saylor just wants to survive. He is the biggest fish of the Treasury's sea. I wouldn't tie the price and his buys to it.. Even though it is seen as bullish / bearish signs by the crowds.

Don't buy a house he said, buy BTC instead.
If you have money that can build you a house but also this money can get you 0.1BTC, which one will you chose to do?
Micheal Saylor is telling people to avoid buying a house right now but instead buy 0.1BTC and hold, so I think this will be a good discussion for today, what do you guys think will be the best decision?
Drop your opinions.
My choice? I'd buy a house and rent it out, then buy bitcoin with the proceeds.  When you buy bitcoin, you're spending money on rent. And while your money is "frozen" for the duration of your investment, you'll be losing money the entire time. Yes, you'll make a profit on your investment, but you'll also be spending a considerable amount on rent over that entire period. When you own your own house, you don't have to spend money on rent (people always need a place to live). And I believe that housing, a basic human need (can't live on the street), will prevail when choosing between bitcoin and a house. Therefore, in my opinion, the order of actions would be as follows: - House (housing). - Investments (in bitcoin). Especially if one needs additional funds for his needs,... be it family or investing further in BTC / something else. Your logic is rational to me

Personally I used to get payment for my freelance work in paypal but there were always cases where clients took the money back by dispute even after I delivered work. What other problems has bitcoin solved for you ?
Moral of The truth is Bitcoin solved the digitalisation of currency system and broke the barrier of every restrictions in currency system (excluding internet use). It makes transections faster and cuts a lower cost. So as a Gen Z I am really a fan of Bitcoin and it's usecases. It resolved money management for me and also for every bitcoiner. Am I Wrong? Everybody chooses his own path. So even if others would say you are wrong - you need to do what you think is best for yourself. Keep pushing

I was surprised there was a documentary like this back then. And I'm unlucky I was not able to see this back then hahahaha. Documentary like this is really I like, especially since I'm into technology, so if I saw these before, I would really like it and maybe I may be introduced with Bitcoin early.
It's okay. Now you have the opportunity to watch it with all the knowledge you have and gathered

The fiat currencies that we are using right now is backed by gold (at least at policy level) which means we are still using gold to transact but tokenized as currency notes for convenience.
A new money may imitate the top layer (fiats) or the core part (gold) where bitcoin devs chose the core. This must be a smart move because gold is global. Otherwise bitcoin would have been designed like 'a new de-centralized digital dollar' instead of what we have right now.
BTC is BTC, gold is gold. BTC was meant to solve the double-spend problem in a trustless network, and it did! BTC is compared or called as the digital gold mostly to give it a mental model as something as trusted as gold itself.

Reps speak politely and to the point. They don't take to mind the comments with accusations to heart. You speak with retaliating back to the users who accuse you of valid points.

 ⚽️ Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid One-goal advantage. Home arena. Everything is on Bayern's side. But can you ever really count out Real Madrid, especially in the Champions League? Make your prediction on Qzino sportsDon't know why my comment on the activity in your thread was deleted, but alrightie  Real couldn't keep up with Bayern's attack spirit, it seems.

Bitcoin has recorded below $100k since last year. Until now, bitcoin did not seem too close to reaching $100k or beyond that but you will still see people asking "Is this really the bear cycle already?" or "Is this just a correction?". I have also seen a literal article talking about how the bear cycle is about to end. But if we should follow the previous cycles, we would see that it takes at least 4 years for the market to get out of the bear cycle. So why are people still in denial that we are in bear cycle right now and we all just have to go through it before we see yet another massive profit taking opportunity? Am I missing some signs that make people so delusional?
Its okay to have those questions, in my opinion. Everybody is free to speculate and just because bitcoin has been following the 4 year cycle so far and strictly sticks to it, there is always some small deviation. Some people are just feeling restless with the current bearish sentiment and thats all. Although I personally believe that we are still in 4 year cycle and this time around it will be no different but I never really eliminate the possibility of bitcoin doing a completely different thing in the future. That's the beauty of it. BTC lives its own life and the reason why is it can be only affected by different groups and events, but never conquered.

I'd see how the community is flooded with casinos. Almost every day, we see a new one on the forum. This means that only a strong casino can deal with the tough competition and survive.
Anyway, the design doesn't really look enticing, but some features seem unique from others. And since this casino offers, like, a trade business, I hope money launderers won't abuse it, because it often happens.
And there is one thing that gamblers are looking for. There is an active participation of OP in the thread. It has a huge impact on trusting the casino, unlike the others become inactive after making announcements.
The management should have strong background on how to run an online gambling site as well as more than enough funds for their bankroll. Because if one is missing in these 2 important aspects of this business, I believe, failure is quite imminent for the site Because even if you know how to run a business and you are lacking funds, I don't think you can really continue your services and vice versa. One gives the other, or you shouldn't start with no capital in the first place

Sharing strategy is an opportunity to some gamblers so we may not avoid this for any reason as long as some will be interested in it and take it as a privilege, on the contrary, I know of some gamblers that don't admit things like this because they believe they can do it all by themselves, so this is more of our own personal idea on what we want, either to share strategies together with other gamblers or maintain our lonely pattern of playing.
Yep.. In gambling, I don't think strategies would help us out that much, for each other, that is. No matter what, it's RNG and RTP - you play, you get a good session or a bad one, you push forward. The main thing would be to take pleasure in it

Or if the sum in question is pretty big.
Regular rules still apply, meaning they don't have a maximum deposit/withdrawal limit without KYC. Even if they were required to, the reason is often because players violated the rules, not the sum of money involved. Agreed. As of now, there is no precedent to call them up on such a matter. I hope it stays that way

does this casino require KYC for withdrawals and deposits?
Based on my experience, I have never been asked for KYC for either deposits or withdrawals. However, even though the casino claims to be no KYC, there's always a possibility they might ask for verification later if there's any suspicious activity that triggers it. This is normal in many casinos. Or if the sum in question is pretty big.

The airdrop are based 90$/mill or 4.5% net loss which one the best for your account. My Metawin Points 2,100,000 but my PnL account are loss −$31,973.26 (Loss). I guess my airdrop is not based the metawin points but based of my net loss. Got more.
If these real, then my drops: Airdrop (4.5% of loss) 4.5% × $31,973.26 = $1,438.80
Hope is real. Cause, If my account bassed on net loss got more on these category 4.5% rather than Mpoints.
i don't know how they are going to calculate it tbh, the drop is $4 mil, but if they are going to divide that among all opt in users, i don't see how it's possible to give 4.5% of net loss to everyone. but you should still be able to get more than $90 per 1 mil points since your losses are big. the cashdrop is in a week tho, so we will see. I too think it's too far fetched to be true.. But we don't know and won't know all the details before the "judgement day". So let's see how it turns out

Yes, that was a really cool bet, I wouldn't have dared to take that!
Instead, I decided to bet on Real Madrid - Mallorca and lost. But I'm trying not to get upset, especially since I have another bet and am now thinking about betting on the Göztepe - Galatasaray and Roma - Pisa matches. The overall odds will be around 2.1 for Galatasaray and Roma to win.
I hope you will get them this time

This is not about Bitcoin, it's general security You taking it down might give you peace of mind, but wouldn't fix the issue of such related activities,
Government should try harder, in securing their citizens. This is a total failure of the country's security. But meanwhile reduce anything that will attract such, like advertising, promoting etc just to be in the safer side.
Gov thinks only about their own pockets to fill, first and foremost, unfortunately. They come to good regulations only when it suits them the most.

Nahh, not many people have their luck in gambling. If they apply a loan and gamble the money, no guarantee they will win but losing the money will be possible.
You are luck wing a good sum of money but I don't advice you repeat it again. You may not have your luck if you do that again so it is better to allocate some money.
Taking out a loan to gamble is a very bad idea, and I’d even say it’s a dead end, since it’s clear that gamblers will always lose in the long run because of the house edge. Sure, some lucky person might get lucky once and hit the jackpot right away, allowing them to pay off the loan, but that’s more of an exception. yep. better to not do it if it's not a "i've got nothing to lose" situation.. because clearly, gambling isn't intended to be done with such money on the line.
