Is he still the CEO of Tesla? I don't think that he is anymore so I don't hold out much hope that they would be accepting bitcoin for purchases but maybe there's a possibility that they will since Tesla has their bitcoins so I am sure they want to make some profit out of that. Cybertruck hype isn't that big anymore, and in terms of how futuristic it looks, I disagree that's a futuristic aesthetics, if you've seen the game Cyberpunk, you would agree.

The reason why they probably allow or enable monopoly is because someone who is influential and powerful in the government is allowing that to happen, that's the only explanation why there's a monopoly on that country or any country for that matter. But I do agree with you, we need to find ways to destroy monopolistic capitalism because if that's the norm, we will see our lives governed by few and our freedom restricted.

Yeah you could be right but if 80% of there user base aren't paying and would choose a different platform that would probably offer the same thing but for free, I don't think that we will see X become a profitable platform for Musk. I don't have any ties or attachment to X or any creators that's famous in that platform so I am utterly pessimistic that putting a price on X would a good thing, they kind of like shooting themselves on the foot here although I'm not an expert in human behavior so I might be wrong and the need for clout exceeds the downside of using X.

I don't think that they are including tourists on that law so I don't think the tourists need to worry about that, they're probably talking about expatriates who have been living in Thailand but are working in overseas and are getting paid by the country that they're working from so if you're a tourist nothing to worry about I think. I think leaving the country for some of these expatriates are far fetch thing for them to do because what's a little more tax compared to going back to their country with a much higher standard of living than what they currently have in Thailand.

I hope that whaat you're saying doesn't become a frequent thing to happen to beginners because knowing that there's a lot of people that will quit if they made a mistake the 1st try serves nothing to the adoption of bitcoin. Although I do agree that allowing yourself to make mistake is a good thing if you want to learn, I still think that having that as your first experience in your first step wouldn't be good.

One of my friends got that exact problem with Unionbank too, deposited 20k USD worth in PHP then got flagged by the bank although to be fair with the bank, my friend quickly withdrawn the same amount so definitely it's understandable that it's flagged as suspicious, that was one of the reasons why that friend stopped using Unionbank, plus there are other online banking much better than Unionbank now so it's not that big deal that UB plans to accept bitcoin trading or crypto.

Too bad most governments fail to provide those stuff you've mentioned especially if it doesn't benefit them or make their pockets bigger. I don't know about you but I think bitcoin isn't that whatever you're talking about, bitcoin's more than that. The reason why bitcoin isn't on a friendly terms with the government is because bitcoin is liberating people from being dependent on them and they know this that's why any big moves that bitcoin takes, they have to be watchful because if it goes awry, it's bad for them.

How are you so sure that there's nil lawyers would have no idea about this kind of case? Is your superiority complex that bad that you think that other people that don't have an inkling of knowledge or their interests are outside of bitcoin don't have the idea what they can do with this? They don't need to know it, the clients and the defendants just need to tell the truth and everything that the court needs to know so they can make a case about it. Clearly you and I aren't a student that's involve with law but I don't just blurt conjecture with confidence. Not everything wrong with bitcoin is money laundering, it's been proven already that bitcoin's a bad cryptocurrency to use for that kind of activity.

The wrong thing that you did was to trust the stranger and at the same time not even confirm with your eyes that they've paid you. Basing on your limited information, it seems like this is a transaction done in person. Maybe @LoyceMobile is right, they could've used RBF to redirect the destination address of the bitcoin back to them. As the others have pointed out, post your address so people can see what you're talking about or even the conversations with the person prior to the bitcoin purchase.

Not survival, our generation/time has the highest survival rate as a species compared to the different ages in the human history, we have cures for once incurable and almost mythological sicknesses/diseases back when science wasn't yet that advance, what we're struggling right now is finding purpose and trying to make a name for ourselves, with billions of us, I think it's going to depress anyone to think that some people will never find their purpose because they have to compete for ever dwindling resources. Also worth mentioning that with capitalism, everyone is trying to make things that was once free and taken for granted into a profit making machine so yeah, life ain't easy because we let it be.

I'm not that updated on what's happening on the housing market on the US but iirc in the movie, the cause of the collapse was because companies are accepting mortgages no matter how bad the credit is of the person that wants to buy the house because the real estate sellers gets the cash quickly so they just accept everyone with background checks. So I don't know how it can be the same because last time, I think the land price in the US is just going higher which is kind of the opposite in the movie.

The best thing for bitcoin users to do is to buy and hoard their bitcoins, the second best thing would be investing in property or gold or any precious metals and if worse comes to worse, probably secure your valuables and your property because depending on how severe the collapse would be, desperation to find means to survive will proportionately increase. Also worth noting that if the global economy collapse happens at a literal global scale, bitcoin and how to save our finances would be the least of our worries I think.

Let me get this straight, you've said that "able to build wealth out of a single luck", build implies that it was successful in a way because you were able to build something and to build meant it's already stable. I don't know about your opinion about luck but I'm not the biggest believer that luck's a defining virtue someone should get when they're trying to build wealth, pretty sure billionaires don't rely on luck. The only luck I would consider is probably getting born in a wealthy family.

The chance of winning in lottery is random to the point that it's impossible to win and that you're likely to die going to a lottery to buy the tickets than to win the ticket but randomness isn't a line, it's more of a jumbled balls and what you pick first can be the win. Here's an article and here's also the famous story of Bill Morgan to refute your claim that it takes time to win the lottery. The reason you're probably not believing these stories is probably because you're a skeptic and you question everything which is a good thing or you're bitter that they've got an insane beginner's luck and you don't have any.

Well, if you look at it now, they're still lucky that they're able to buy bitcoin at a cheap price and was able to build wealth in it, it might not be lucky to you but that opportunity to buy bitcoin at a dirt cheap not knowing it will change your life someday is luck in my book.

One stroke of luck is a make or break moment for anybody and since we're talking about building wealth, we should avoid to say that there's only one result to this because I am pretty sure that if I search the Internet about people keeping their success after winning something to jumpstart their wealth (most of them that I've checked are lottery winners though), I guarantee you that there's going to be names that going to pop up.

AI is better than a Google search, I'm working in Tech support so whenever a problem that I haven't encountered yet, I am able to just ask for the AI to give me possible solutions to the problem that I'm currently facing which helps me narrow down the possible solutions and the causes of the problems. So for me definitely a positive, as for the AI that I am using, ChatGPT was my first use but now whenever I need to do spreadsheet works, I use Bard, more clean solutions there compared to ChatGPT.

To each of their own I guess, some people have a lot of amicable friends that they can ask for help so when they do referrals they are able to make worth of the time that they could've spent on other things doing referrals now on the other hand though, if you don't have that many friends that's going to be helping you in your referrals then it's a waste of time for you. In the case of a difficulty in claiming the bonuses I wouldn't say it's going to generalize every casino out there or any business out there that does referrals as a waste of time.

Tax code in my country which is the Philippines is pretty vague when it comes to gambling winnings, although it says that if my winnings are around 200 USD below are taxed at 10% while anything above would be taxed at 20% pretty big to be honest and this is the first time that I've known of this because I don't think the Revenue Service in my country hasn't been on my ass yet for taxes regarding gambling winnings, I only play poker though so it's possible casinos and lottery wins are a different thing.

OP still probably living in the 30s where women's still fighting for suffrage. Totally agree with you about women being less likely to take risks when gambling though, probably got to do with their biology or psychology or probably just their priorities in life. I wouldn't agree with you about women not being addicted to gambling though, it's an anecdotal fallacy to say that we as in everyone doesn't see any women that's addicted to gambling because I've known people that have a gambling addicted mothers and that it's the cause for their broken families. On your last statement, that sounds bigoted or misogynistic because you're imposing them to roles that's not rational or unreasonable.

Too bad that resolved cases are far too few compared that to people that are still having problem with some of these crypto casinos but I guess there's just too many and it's not like no one that are claiming fake issues. Regarding the update, it's actually nice that OP bothered to do so because there's other users that don't do any updates and casinos often don't do the update themselves so many people are left in the dark.

Yes I did say that, I don't think that there's any kind of moderation in gambling, and yes it's difficult to be moderate about when you've been gambling consistently. Anything addicting, when you start doing it, you're already hooked, you just don't know it yet. The consistency doesn't have to daily, as long as there's a pattern and a habit, it's still an addiction.
