Happy new year friends, it's been a good start of another year, while we are distracted by many problems about the market; hacks, bankrupcy etc, we forget about the fun the community had in the early years of this decentralized currency. It seems to me that there are lesser fun facts of bitcoin in this era compared to the early days of bitcoin. Though they is no source to the claim that a man, 12 years ago, offered to change his name to bitcoin for 2000btc, it's just quite too funny and reveals how people made fun out of bitcoin; they had happy memories of bitcoin. Unlike today where people are surrounded with sad news about bitcoin and it's not just fun anymore, thinking about the Pizza day and the hodl thread those were some good moments. However, I'm not saying we are not making progress, yes we are, but then it's quite a difficult journey without fun.

I'd ask, 12 years ago 2000btc was nothing compared to now, would you do such a thing? Hence many users on twitter accepted that they can change their name to bitcoin for such amount

It seems to me that this is a very big mistake. It is important to understand right away that trading is a risk. And if you did not have money for trading, how then to repay debts?

If the casino is well prepared and already have plans in any market or economic situation then they can surely survived. They will stay for good no matter how many people talk negatively about them. Those people knowledge is nothing. If they are those people who once got addicted and destroy their lives thru gambling then it was their fault. They shouldn't blame the gambling place or on why gambling has been invented in this world.

If the situation seems worst then many people should refrain from gambling for now to save money and prioritize important things only while there are people who are prepared for it so they aren't really that affected. They can still continue betting.

The Bitcoin halving period could be a crazy time for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Expect the price to go up and get a new ATH after each halving, so expect to hit a new all-time high after the next halving. Of course Bitcoin users and popularity will also increase.

The devs are never your friend regardless of what they're building. You may make money and you may lose money, that's how the game is designed and even if you don't make money the devs will make money at your expense.

as I said at the beginning, KYC will be each individual's personal choice.
so there is no compulsion to do KYC in any gambling platform. and like me personally if I feel safe and comfortable on one of the gambling platforms and want to withdraw large amounts of funds and have to go through KYC, I will do that like I did at Roobet.

There is actually a whole lot that has been hindering me from achieving financial freedom especially in a country like mine where the first challenge one would have in life is staying in the country.
As a person, I understand that I money answereth all things and the moment you have the money, you might even get to see yourself doing the things you never thought of doing.

Now answering your question, one of the biggest obstacle I have in achieving financial freedom is the right connection which I believe that with the right connection, I could reach greater heights.

I see that many are optimistic in anticipation of a bull run. But I also remember from previous cycles, while such optimists are the majority in the market, we will not see a bull run, which will surely come after the last optimist sells his coins and leaves the market.

Actually the casino you're promoting under your signature are have KYC rule too and they've recorded your IP address during registration which mean you're already share your personal information to them

I don't see any casino that doesn't record any small personal and remain 100% anonymous, casino did that to combat against money laundering. There's nothing wrong to submit KYC to trusted casino like Roobet, they're have a lot promotion so it's used to prevent against abusers too.

I don't think this is a financial advice from op but rather doing some comparison btw those top altcoin which you may likely picked interest to make investment, it's best known to anyone chosen or picking out any of those coin to invest.
As always said, they should be able to invest what they could afford and bear to lose, moreover its a portfolio.

If i were anyone chosen any of these coin to invest the best option would been bitcoin, reliable and trusted.

it's true if we can't trust 100% about our personal data that we store on an online platform, it's very risky. but for me life is full of risks that we have to take and on the other hand do we have to be against not KYC if we get a big win and want to withdraw our funds from a certain platform? and with a sense of compulsion we have to do KYC to be able to withdraw the big wins that have been obtained.

and all of that returns to the individual gamblers themselves. if they trust any of the gambling platforms to do KYC, go for it. but if you don't believe or don't feel safe doing KYC, don't do it.

agree, that when the market is bearish is the time to buy and of course without the need to analyze bitcoin is a good choice to buy and make an investment, to remember bitcoin will always repeat itself when it will increase or decrease. This year it is estimated that it will still enter the bear market and will start to improve when it enters the halving, namely in 2024, but the peak price will occur in 2025, so the time is quite long.
so don't hesitate to buy bitcoin immediately, because bitcoin is a very attractive investment, remember that in time you will get a big profit from the investment.

I guess that's the lesson here in crypto market, hype the buzzword, it will just make more money to every entity behind, like in this case, the Opensea market who suddenly become a billion dollar company because of NFT.

So for sure the market hasn't learn it's lesson yet from the hype and it's going to be cyclical because in the future, we might hear another crypto buzz word and everyone will be running and will FOMO.

The principle of any investor remains the same, you need to buy low and sell high, you need to adhere to this rule no matter what you invest in. Bitcoin is a relatively new investment tool, but it has already proven its potential and for those who understand it, it safe. It's hard to think of a better time to invest in bitcoin than now, because growth can start at any time and those who are not afraid to buy now will be rewarded for it in the future.

What other advantage? You're investing your money at risk, so I wouldn't call it an advantage because you might as well invest it in more reliable investment assets.

Many gamblers visit casinos just to get a shot of the happiness hormone. And in my opinion these people are the majority.

Once I forgot my purse at home - its has all the cards and cash in it. I was there without even a single penny that day I realized how it feels to live without money
I felt so helpless that I was unable get food for $2 - I rushed home quickly and thanked God. Money obviously is the most important factor in one's life. 

When people are experimenting a difficult time on their lives they try to find fault on something or someone else, so instead of admitting their own flaws and the mistakes that lead them to lose their money those people prefer instead to blame bitcoin, after all if bitcoin itself is what is failing then they can avoid taking the blame as in their minds they were deceived in some way or form, however we know how such stories end, bitcoin eventually will recover and those people will have no one to blame but themselves for the losses they are suffering.

Then another question now would be, if the guy had lost the money and told the girl that he gambled with the money and lost it, do you think the girl would have understood and see reasons with the guy.?

Well, all the same, if I was the guy, I will not let the girl know the total amount of money I won, and what ever amount I am comfortable with giving to her is what I would give to her, another thing is that she is happy, and that I would make sure of, it's as simple as that.

All people not only newbies must understand about this. This is one of the basic things to always have when getting investment, Always invest only the amount that we can afford to loose.

Holding may be better moreover for those who are not good in trading and who are still new in trading or crypto. but, it is important to understand what crypto to hold. For, not all cryptos are valuable for holding. we have seen how many shit cryptos that are ended to be dead cryptos. So here, Only hold Bitcoin that has trust, value, and also journey.
