I felt a little bit of it after losing, but it helps me to always think of my bet as lost from the start. There's always that small amount of hope which turns into regret when you eventually realize the money is gonw, but with the right attitude you can get over it.

Bottom line, remorse and regret are normal emotions that you face when you lose something and it doesn't matter if it's money, property, someone close to you, even an opportunity.

They're in fact looking like complete fools by obeying FATF, which has no power over any country. It actually has no power at all. It's up to you whether you want to listen to them or not and they know it. That's why all they do is post "recommendations" but cannot make countries play by their rules.
Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is a joke. A puppet on a string. If an elected government of a country bows before such an organization, it only shows how deep in debt the country has to be if it's afraid of being put on some list.

You can't ban bitcoin, that's a fact and many countries have learned it the hard way. Time for Pakistan, I guess.

Events like that where we break it to the downside and dont follow through later (fakeouts) are common in bitcoin and don't really matter.
I can give you 2 good examples of such move. One was the silk road crash, when the news broke out that the site was seized and its owner arrested, the other one was the famous covid crash. Both times it did not change the long term trend.

IMO daily price doesn't matter at all and it's pointless to keep watching it.

The rules are also not clear. How do you actually decide on who wins the competition?
"The winners will be determined through three juries and audience ratings" so someone watches you have sex and decide if they like it or not?
There's no real rules they have to obey, so betting on something that you don't even know how to score is pointless and a waste of money unless you like utter randomness.

It's just not worth it, unless you have no other way to gamble.
I'll give you an example. If I were living in a country that doesn't allow gambling at all and blocks all gambling sites, I'd have to use VPN to connect to most services. In such case I'd look for a casino that doesn't go hard on VPN users and try playing there.

I'm not in such situation so there's no need for me to do it.

It depends on what 90k is to OP. If he's making 200k a year, betting 90k might not be such a big deal. Still risky as fuk, but not the end of the world. Someone like me, who barely makes 50k a year would shit himself betting that much and my wife would probably kill me if I lost, so I'll say it again, it depends on who you are, how much money you have, how comfortable you are betting this much. I'd at least split that into multiple smaller bets.

Good luck OP, you have about 30m left. Don't chicken out before the end

IMO it's not safe which is why I avoid KYC at all cost. If the casino demands it for withdrawals over a certain limit, I don't withdraw over the limit. If it requires KYC for fiat withdrawals, I don't use fiat. If it does random KYC screening, I tend to avoid the casino completely.

Many years ago I've decided that it's important for me to stay anonymous in the Internet, which is why I never reveal any sensitive data and I never send scans of my documents. You will not find my face anywhere in the web. It allows me to feel somewhat safe.

My reason to invest right now, if i had no bitcoin would be simple math. Think about it for a second and you'll come to the same conclusion. What is the chance of bitcoin going to 0 and compare that to the chance of bitcoin going to the last ATH to retest it.

Another reason is the current price. It's less than 50% of the ATH which is really low. Usually bitcoin retests the 50% level frequently, so 35k is almost a certainty at this point. So, knowing bthat bitcoin will hit 50% level somewhere in the next 12 month, even if it gets rejected by it, why wouldn't you buy bitcoin at 27k if it was bound to retest crucial levels somewhere in the next 12 months? No other investment is going to give you an opportunity of earning 30% in a year.

"You cannot ban bitcoin, you can only ban yourself from bitcoin" - this is probably the best way to describe this situation.

The current administration in the US is trying to appease eco clowns who think bitcoin mining is destroying the planet. They have to fight against something so if chaining yourself to a tree is no longer popular and so is freeing animals from labs, there has to be something else they can do, right? Fortunately there's a lot of bright people in the US who fight for their states to remain free.

Wait patiently, OP. I see no reason to attack after just 2 days of waiting, especially since you've withdrawn so much money from them without any problems.


So according to you they only have 1 address? Good job detective!
Even if they were really out, converting funds takes not more than a few minutes, so they can quickly generate enough of a given token in case of a large withdrawal.

I've tried to install one of them and got immediately asked to link my google or twitter account.

Ok, so I gave it a try to see how much I could be getting and here's the catch: you are not getting sats for playing, for high scores, for nothing really. You get tickets that allow you to enter a lottery, where you can win a few sats, or not. So, if you feel like you can make some bitcoin playing, it's probably possible, but your head will be in pain after a few hours of watching commercials and you'll probably get $0.1 for it. Yes, it's not a mistake $0.1 because the top prize that I saw was 1000 sats (0.00001 BTC)

Are you trying to make a list of people who contributed to the early development of bitcoin? Start with people who were there from the beginning like Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Gavin, or Sirius. There's a number of early bitcoin developers you might be interested in, just google the phrase. The (drunk) creation of the HODL word is really not that important compared to what some developers did for bitcoin.

Since we're arguing about the definition of pizza, there were opinions that we should have meat on pizza, that such meat should be on the outside, that pizza should be round and it should have tomato sauce and cheese on it, so without further ado, here's a pizza con patate.  

It's always the same. People who could buy now are waiting for 12k because some dumb analysts are still standing by their predictions, but if we fall to 12k they'll be in such a state of panic that they won't buy anything. They also won't buy now because they'll need a strong confirmation the bull market has started.

When we reach 80k they'll say it's too expensive and they'll rather wait for another bear market. Then it will go to 200k or something and we'll start another cycle and those people who are out now will say, "ok it's time for a 20k bottom because I say so" and they'll keep waiting for it until the 2028 halving.

I'd love to see a million by 2030, but I doubt we'll even hit 500k by then.

I think this topic was brought up a few times in discussions about settlements on water. I haven't checked where these projects are now, but that guy who was living in a floating home got raided and his home was dragged back to shore.
Unfortunately the governments don't want these projects to succeed because they would show people that living outside their influence (or oppression, call it what you want) is possible. That's why they don't like bitcoin because it gives people a way to leave the system and they don't want them to. More people in the system means more sheep working for the elites.

I always thought that if you're in trouble you should do everything and try every possible way to get better. This means that I'd try psychotherapy, family support, self exclusion, I'd share my bank accounts with a trusted member of my family, so they could keep track of all my spending and finally, if the opportunity were to arise, try hypnosis.
Worst case scenario it doesn't work and I waste some money, best case, at least one way of fighting my addiction will and I'll get rid of it.

Fortunately I'm not a compulsive gambler who needs that, but it's an interesting topic to think about.

You're so certain this will go according to your plan. What if it doesn't? What if you don't make profit and have to pay the lender?
What if this aidoge becomes another overhyped worthless project that instead of 1000x brings you -1x?


Betting on some coin to becoming world reserve currency? If someone gave me a choice to either bet on this or on bitcoin going to 1 million dollars, I'd bet on the later.

Not really, this is your preference. If we follow your description pizza al taglio is not a pizza. Pizza bianca is also not a pizza and pizza marinara is not a pizza.

That said,

Try to have fun gambling. It's not about making money doing it because most gamblers lose money in the long run. You gamble to have some fun and feel the thrill of the game, the risk of betting and the satisfaction of winning, even if you end the session with a loss, winning those few games or hands makes it fun.

It's like in sports. You don't always win, but you keep playing because one in a few games ends with you winning.

What you're trying to do is make money each time and it's mathematically impossible, otherwise casinos would go bankrupt.

There's no general crypto influencer. There are guys who report on the news and in a way are crypto personalities that make youtube videos about cryptocurrencies, and there are people who literally pump shitcoins and promote scams. If you're looking for a good, informative channel, there's plenty of them to choose from. Stephan Liveira for instance does a good job.
He's exactly the opposite of people like bitboy, who are the scourge of the crypto youtube. Unfortunately, there's more bad apples than good ones in this batch.

If you're new to crypto and lost among the multitude of youtube channels, I'd generally avoid any channels that want to tell you about this exciting new project. I'd also avoid channels that were involved in promoting scams. You can google the name of the channel you're interested in and check if they weren't involved paid promotion of failed projects.
Last but not least, avoid analysts, especially people who add a new prediction every week saying that because we crossed this or that line we'll now go to this price and next week they backtrack and say that it's another price and another and it never happens the way they say.
