So, what you're trying to show with this one? It's war and loses is inevitable. But these thousands of Ukrainians killed in few days of counteroffensive reminds other fairytales from Russian Defense ministry like destroyed all Ukrainian aviation in first days of war, destroyed (I lost count already) HIMARS and it's loading vehicles, which doesn't even exist.
Don't forget about shooting down more Bayraktars than Ukraine ever had Wink


I want to say that raising the flag over Vysokopolye and taking three more villages (by the way, which ones?) is too thin a result for a week of suicidal attacks on an open field as part of a counteroffensive that has been prepared since the beginning of summer.
How about an attack planned for months with the use of superior firepower including the Spetsnaz, the 331st with the help of Lukashenko and Kadyrov, that was to take Kiev in 3 days and failed miserably? Are you, Russians, really going to laugh at the Ukrainian counteroffensive when you're running out of bullets and asking North Korea for help? Big and proud Russia is going to ask the pariah of the world for military aid. How low the mighty have fallen...

Mother left her child.
Mother left her child unattended for a minute.

Do you see the difference OP?

I appreciate the attempt to correct the title but it still looks weird. It's not grammatical. Should be something like "Netflix bans crypto ads", not "Netflix bans ads bitcoin or crypto", as it displays now.
The second one makes it hard to understand what it really bans: ads, bitcoin, crypto or all together.

40 days a week is normal in the EU with optional Saturdays where you can spend another 6-8 hours depending on the business you're in.
During the pandemic I've observed a number of my friends having to work from home and some of the companies liked it so much they allowed them to continue working in this format. The companies like it because they save up a lot of money on AC and other stuff like cleaning services. The employees like it because they don't have to drive to work so they save up money as well and they can work naked if they want to and eat and drink whatever and whenever they want. One of my friends even manages to have a workout break and is able to do 5 min of cardio every hour or so and nobody cares if he opens a beer while working, which is something he wouldn't be able to do at the office.

It's possible to work 10 hours a day provided that nobody is breathing down your neck. 6 hours of hard office work with your boss screaming at you is much worse than 10 hours of working from home, while listening to music and drinking beer.
1444  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is everyone ready for Bitcoin's NEXT LEG DOWN ??? Federal Reserve Tightening on: September 05, 2022, 09:29:54 PM
Many people don't get it that if you price goods in fiat money and then print a ton of it, the goods are going to get more expensive - inflation.
When they play around with interest rates they want it to look like fiat is gaining value. They want to make people save up fiat money which is a counterproductive action because fiat is and will be inflationary. Tight or lose policies of the FED are nothing but a big scam and they will make it look like they can stop inflation, but all they can do is make your money lose 4% a year instead of 8%, but ultimately you will still lose in the long run.

Despite what they want you all to think, holding bitcoin is the best way to go because the FED and central banks can only destroy companies that take loans. Bitcoin has no front man and is not in debt. It cannot be touched. What you're observing on the bitcoin market is companies who took loans to buy bitcoin getting wasted, but there's a limit to it. At some point money printers will wipe out all those who depend on them and fiat money will continue to inflate. It's a war they cannot win, but bitcoin holders can, as long as they can wait until Spring 2024.

No one, not even Russia (Putin) or Ukraine (Zelensky) had expected the war to last this long but it did.
At least all commentators did better than Putin and his advisors. Ukraine was supposed to be taken in 3 days according to the Russians. They should start their own fortune telling business. People would go to them and they do exactly the opposite of what they tell them.

Quote
We've heard certain leaked news from unknown but presumably reliable sources, stating that the resources are ran out for Russia but somehow, the war continues. That's how prepared both nations are to take up the corse until they could come to a compromise and maybe resolve to a treaty. It would be extremely difficult and non that I expect Russia to give into Ukraine despite western support and still, Ukraine can't just submit as it is indeed a sovereign state and this would lead to another era on there nation where they would have Russia influence. Hence, they both are going to continue until they could dialogue and come by a treaty.

Or until Putin does or gets overthrown. He had a dream of a new Soviet Union but now we see that it will never happen. Former Soviet republics are buying arms and looking for allies. They don't want to be in this union of his.

Why 10k? That would have to completely nullify what chart analysts were tracing for the last 10 years. No tech adoption curve, no regression curves, no 200 week ma lows, no lengthening cycles, and so on. In 2023 we'll be just a few months before the next halving and you expect the price to literally halve as well?

I don't feel like the US FED can keep tightening for another year. If they do they will crash the stock market and start a recession, which means unemployment and bankruptcies and this means less taxes paid. They can't do it.

1447  Economy / Gambling / Re: I need advice from experienced users of this forum on: September 02, 2022, 09:24:38 PM
I wonder why a casino will ask for verification document via Skype, and from the respond, I saw from a screenshot about this case this user may have supplied a false documents which is the reason his account may have been blocked.

We don't know if the document was false or not. They had some issues with the photo and assumed that's not OP. A professional support would say they are unable to verify his identity and require another document like a driver's license or a passport. They should not assume that the client is trying to cheat them, at least not if the document looks legit. They can have their suspicions but until they have a solid proof they should ask for another document to see if the user wants to resolve the problem or not.

1448  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1XBIT.COM ᐉ 7 BTC WB ᐉ Altcoin Betting ᐉ no KYC ᕗ Instant payouts on: September 02, 2022, 08:58:02 PM
I certainly wouldn't believe everything all the trolls in this thread write here. They seem focused on giving 1xbit a negative name. While 1xbit has had a campaign on the forum for almost a year, which they spend a lot of money on every week. They have a lot of money in their wallet, if a player wins some money then they may not be interested and they will just pay out. The situation is of course different when people do not follow the rules and violate the terms and conditions. unfortunately we have been dealing with cheaters more and more lately and those people have no moral sense. 1xbit handles this well and efficiently and in my opinion that is the only way to tackle cheaters.

So people who have something bad to say about 1xbit are trolls? If not then what makes someone a troll?

A campaign has nothing to do with the fact that a casino could be scamming people. There were many companies that advertised on this forum and scammed people. Having a lot of money also doesn't prove that people aren't and won't be scammed.

There are many casinos here and somehow this one is receiving the most hate. How would you explain that? 

1449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Unification Fight: FURY vs USYK on: September 02, 2022, 08:46:10 PM
The reaction of bookmakers regarding bets on the FURY vs USYK fight seems to me quite pragmatic, however, some still offer odds 2/1 in favor of Usyk, but the real odds will be closer to the fight. if it takes place, of course.

I don't get that they give Usyk such an advantage where there's none. They both are very experienced and have impressive number of wins but Fury has both more professional wins and total fights which means more total experience. He's also taller and heavier than Usyk. These are clear advantages that should be taken into account here.
I like them both and feel like they're rather evenly matched. I wouldn't give any of them 2-1.
1450  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: MBit SCAMMERS on: September 01, 2022, 06:53:28 PM
It's the problem with KYC and casinos that want to scam you. When you lose money they're fine with that but once you want to withdraw a win they suddenly want KYC claiming that you were randomly selected to do this or that you are suspected of multi accounting because someone logged in from another IP, or whatever else. Then they can say that the documents provided are not enough and require proof of residence a bill paid in your name at that residence and so on. Most people can't provide anything like that. Like when you rent an apartment you pay the landlord and all bills are in his name, he pays them. The KYC requirements from some of these casinos are ridiculous.
1451  Economy / Economics / Re: Germans are looking to firewood for energy as natural gas prices soar on: September 01, 2022, 06:12:01 PM
One solution is a wood gas burner. The furnace starts up as a normal wood burner and when it heats up begins to produce wood gas that can be sent back to the burner or to a generator and power up the house. It depends on how big your burner is and how much gas can it produce. Burners are expensive, but when you start getting 10k EUR bills like that one posted earlier in this thread buying one starts to make a lot of sense. For 10k EUR you can get a full installation that will generate enough wood gas for you to have hot water, a warm house and get you at least 5KW of constant power.

You can even run cars on wood gas. The conversion doesn't look pretty but it works.

1452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: lost 10 BTC in between Feb and May on: September 01, 2022, 05:58:17 PM
If OP earned 10BTC and then lost it all when bitcoin as an asset only lost 70% high to low, I suspect it had to do with too much leverage.
Holding is the key to being successful here, not trading. Sure you can earn a lot by trading, but why would you risk your future to get a bit more than the rest of us holders?

I chose to hold, then sold very little starting at 30k and then at each big round number so 40, 50, 60 and when we went back to 30 I started buying and saving up. At this point I have more fiat money than i had in 2019 and the same amount of bitcoin. I could've had more if I traded, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Don't trade OP, buy and hold!
1453  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Our children should be our first priority on: September 01, 2022, 05:07:29 PM
And you have to start them young. With how the world is these days, sometimes good parenting wouldn't be enough. I think main priority is to teach them to be able to resist peer pressure later on when they hit their teens. That's usually want fuck up many people's lives.

The biggest threat is the media that bombard children with unnecessary information, commercials, sex and violence from the early days. If you don't buy them a phone they'll watch videos with their friends who have phones and also blame you for not allowing them to be like their friends. What are they going to watch? Kids on TikTok drinking detergents and eating bugs, people getting out of their cars to dance or recording themselves with their phones while driving and showing off their expensive clothes and homes. I have no idea how to stop my kid from being exposed to this and at the same time not to keep her in a cage.
1454  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 5,000 BTC from Satoshi-Era Wallet Moved on: September 01, 2022, 04:49:09 PM
5000 BTC from Satoshi-Era Wallet Moved, maybe 3 More Wallets Wait to Send Bitcoin as they have the same origin ~21000 BTC.


It's strange that they didn't have any movement when BTC was over 50k...  Huh

No it's not strange at all. You move your coins when you move your coins. A few reasons why people move coins are:
Wallet software or hardware change
Death. Coins were recovered by family and moved.
If it's a Mt.Gox wallet these are being redistributed this year.
We could go on and come up with a few more but what's the point? As it was said earlier in the thread moving doesn't mean selling.
1455  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be worth zero? on: August 30, 2022, 10:41:07 PM

This is a great example of how stupid media outlets are. These people are talking about bitcoin crash and bitcoin going to 0 and their opinions are based on altcoin crashes that they all together call crypto crashes, crypto bankruptcies, crypto problems.

I said it many times and I'll repeat it again: altcoins aren't bitcoin. The fact that a shitcoin like luna crashed to 0 doesn't mean bitcoin will. Bitcoin does not depend on shitcoins and their problems aren't bitcoin's problems. The fact that a company buys bitcoin and goes bankrupt doesn't undermine bitcoin in any way!

I'm really fed up with people who ask these dumb questions like that coin died, will bitcoin die too? It's like saying my friend died in a plane crash, does it mean I will die in a plane crash?
1456  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1 - The copycat epidemic within crypto casinos. on: August 30, 2022, 10:29:29 PM
I have to say you got mu attention OP. I'm curious to see that thing that will make your casino unique and if after that big talk you'll "walk the walk" as they say.

It's true that most casinos copy each other and there were big winners and big losers out there. I remember years ago casinos were actually competing even in the number of signature campaign participants. The campaigns had 50+ people in them as businesses were trying to flood the forum with their own ads. I feel like there's much less competition now and some players are already established while others who were here for a long time left the market, like yolodice.

Keep going, I hope you'll make a name for your business here and stay for good.
1457  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Your opinion about USA vs CHINA on: August 30, 2022, 09:56:58 PM
You certainly have not heard of America's crimes in Iraq. Have you ever heard about Abu Ghraib prison or about the rape of men? Yes, it is rape of men, not women. Do you have an idea about the crimes of the Israeli occupation in Palestine?

Everything Russia does is not equal to 1 percent of America's crimes throughout its history (Iraq, Vietnam and all the proxy wars led by the intelligence services).

China, of course, was never a colonial country, and it suffered from a long colonial era in which it paid the highest price.

Is an Israeli occupation of Palestine now considered a USA war crime?
Do you really want to compare 1 year of Russian invasion to a century of wars the US took part in? If you really want to play that game, add all the murders of the Stalin era, the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, the invasion of Finland, occupation of Poland and so on... Vietnam? The Russians were there as well.
1458  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What could these 4000+BTC whale addresses possibly be up to? on: August 30, 2022, 09:40:32 PM
It's also possible it's a bitmex wallet or somehow connected with the exchange because 100% of outputs from this address is sent to bitmex addresses. If they are laundering such big amounts of money through this exchange I doubt it isn't aware of what's happening. We're talking about almost 700 withdrawals to bitmex just from this one address.
All bitmex addresses are identifiable and they (bitmex) are even clear about that. bc1qmex for the Bech32 Address Prefix. 3BMEX and 3BitMEX the P2SH Address Prefix.
I know this because I have deposited and withdrawn from the exchange several times

Nobody in their right mind would launder such amounts through Bitmex especially now that it's highly regulated...lol

I know bitmex addresses are easily recognized, which is why I said the address is connected to bitmex because all the coins that go through it end up on one of the bitmex addresses. Mainly on 3BMEXt9Z6a7a73oLmeaAngda7KfZPsuQFX that received 171 BTC and 3BMEXEu4iJby6SKYra7FZyNxHD8RV985nj that got 92.
I don't know if it's money laundering. It's not an incredibly large amount of money, especially if it's not a laundering business but a small 1 man operation Wink
