Nah, the fact that they offered a bounty for the identity of the hacker means that the hacker still has the time advantage to cover his tracks which I am sure is what's going to happen, although not all hackers are created equal, this hacker probably doesn't know how to clean his online tracks which is a good thing for the investigators and online sleuths. Technically, if he was anonymous all throughout the hack and he has a way to transfer the stolen money without the people who he stole it from being able to track it, he won't be on the run forever.

It's healthy that you still feel emotions imo, that means that you're not totally a slave to money, if I'm being honest it's okay to express the emotions instead of bottling them up, the key to not affect your trade is that you can control when you express it.
The beauty of altcoin imo is that you can make profits if you're one of the many first to buy the token, 2nd and 3rd generation buyers aren't that lucky because then they have to watch the price and hope that their initial altcoin purchase would generate them an acceptable if not adequate. That's where your skills in trading sharpens though, makes you great at analysis and predictions.

If you've lost 100 and then you've won 200, wouldn't that mean that you've recovered your losses? Yes, quitting is a the right thing to do but are you really a gambler if you let huge losses make you quit playing when you know that you can still play and that you don't mind losing the money? You don't know how a gambler's mind work not until you yourself have gambled. As much as I believe what you say to be true, I think that it doesn't really apply to people who gamble or you might not even be able to say that to someone who gambles.
That's the point of gambling, your challenging the chances itself, it just so happens that there's a goal which is recovering the losses you've got.

The quickest way is probably P2P, if you want to send someone some bitcoin without the need to create a bitcoin wallet although it involves you transferring your money to the sellers bank account and then you will provide that seller the bitcoin address that you want your bitcoin to be sent. There's some people in the Marketplace board that might be able to do that if you're looking for the service.

I'm being honest here when I say that I don't track my expenses when I'm gambling, whenever I gamble I just get the money that I want to spend and when that money is gone because it's a loss for me and a bad day for me then my gambling is done for that day. I know that it's kind of stupid of me not to track how much I spend in gambling but I think that I'm happier that I don't know how much I lose over time, less regrets on why I gamble and I have more fun at the end of the day.
I mean that's what betting does, you root more sincerely for the team that you've put your money in and it makes it that your screaming and feeling bad about the team or the fouls committed or the bad calls by the referees more justified although to some degree.

Well, revenge is a strong word so I am with you on that but if the case of trying to win back or breaking even on your losses, I think that it depends on the amount of loss that you've got, if you think you can get back the losses by winning big with such a small amount of bet difference then go for it. I don't think it should come to a time where you're regretting your expenses on gambling, you're an adult now I am sure that you know what you're doing when you are gambling, regretting just leads to you being psychologically set to try and ease that regret by trying to gamble again.

I think it only matters on an outsider observers like me and you, but for the person that's gambling, I think it won't matter too much to them, I am pretty sure that they know what they're doing when they gambled that money. Plus in the case with this one, I don't think that they won't even mind losing that money. Good advice to risk only what you can afford to lose but I can give you an even better one, why not avoid all the risk altogether by not gambling that extra money at all, spend it on increasing your savings.

Pretty straightforward but given how easy scammers can impersonate these kind of casino scheme makes me happy that it's not as popular back then as today, these type of scam will probably the main reason why victims will post on Scam Accusations board. Wouldn't also this kind of casino be a good way for crooks to launder money? I mean they can just create their own website that does this and funnel the money there right?

I think it's for the better that a total anonymity is not a thing anymore for casinos, makes it easier for both parties not to be hassled. I've read a lot of scam accusations in the past and most common reason why some funds are withhold is because there's no identification for the customer and there's no real person or face that you can contact when the casino holds your funds.

The time that you don't have to spend looking at charts and making decisions whether to buy or sell is also an advantage, time is a currency that not many care about until it finally runs out on them, if I'm being honest people underestimate the convenience that some stuff provide, I mean if AI can do a good margin while I'm out there partying or going on a hiking still making money from that AI trading tool, I would consider it a good thing and I would support people using it to make their life convenient and have their own passive income.
Of course there are those who still do that but that's no reason to exclude those who want to use AI or even disregard them as something beneath those who trade in a traditional way, kind of pathetic that people still think that AI is a devolution to trading when we all know the capabilities it's got and that it will only continue to improve in the future.

Totally agree, I have most of my tokens staked especially if I want to hodl on to it, makes it hard for me to spend it too because I can see some growth even though small in my staking which tricks me psychologically that it's worth not pulling the staking out just to spend it on something I know I would probably hate later on.
If you are doing the work and you can't make money when there's no human interaction then it's not a passive income, it's already in the name already meaning that it works in the background so trading isn't in any sense a passive income, more like a side hustle although it can be argued that renting your property is also a passive income even if it requires interactions. Your reason they should consider being active in trading isn't applicable to everyone because there's a reason that someone's looking for a passive income and it involves their focus to be not split into other stuff which in this case has a risk of them losing their money.

Quantum computers are the size of rooms and really expensive to build and maintan because it involves constant cooling due to how complex the calculations that it does which isn't really easy because they solve calculations that would probably take millions of years but would do it much quicker so if a trading company says that they have quantum computer for their trading, do not believe them, there's not a lot of places that have quantum computers, it's existence is even secret to many so why do they have one. Definitely a fishy company if you ask me.

This is already a sign that it's a scam, I don't think it's a good thing to do business proposal using any social media messaging apps to talk to someone, it's informal and at most rude imo. People who does this kind of tactic wants to isolate their victims as much as possible so no one can call out the red flags in case someone sees them and the victim doesn't. This kind of tactic is most prominent among online sellers who are trying to sell their products at an overpriced rate. As @albon has mentioned, provide some proof like Chat logs to make your scam accusation more credible.

I don't think that this is true most of the time though, I was lucky that @Royse777 accepted me even though it's my first review and he put me in the 2nd batch. I didn't have the experience and the initial requirements to do a review but I was able to do it. The reason I think why he still applied is because he probably read that the payment will be given first and that's the beginning of your deadline for the review. The saddest thing about this is that he was willing to destroy his reputation for a measly $90 worth of bitcoin.

Was looking for this because this was my first thought regarding OP's definition of bitcoin being centralized. I think the reason that this will fail though is that a lot of us would caught wind of this probably and persuade each individual to try and fight that centralization attempt by this malicious entities and I think that there's still more individual hodling bitcoins compared to companies.

Of course there are concerns that arise that may cause us to think that bitcoin becomes centralized like a monopoly in mining but as a community fighting actively against it and the nature of bitcoin being decentralized, it's close to impossible for that concern to ever happen.

The Marketplace board of this forum should count right? Although it's hard to find legitimate sellers there especially for stuff like this. If you really want to sell your company/website, I think that if there's a way to negotiate the price, you can always put bitcoin as a mode of payment on the table, of course some people won't accept but that's bound to happen.

How in hell did you not warned your friend about investing in bitcoin by selling property and then teaching him about it when he finally lost his money? You've known about it, there should've been some way that you could've intervened with your friend's decision. Your title is right though, definitely have a think before investing. I don't want to accuse you but this topic seem a bit fishy, like it's not entirely true or the facts aren't straight because it's not your story and you're just retelling it inaccurately.

Forever is a big word, that would mean the end of time if you're being realistic and I don't think that bitcoin will be able to live as long as that, in fact, a massive solar storm or gamma ray burst will be a definite spell of doom for bitcoin and humanity if we're talking about GRB. So technically the answer to that is that, bitcoin is alive due to the mercy of the uncaring universe. Well, I already have a small amount of bitcoin that I've been hodling for a long time now, I suppose I qualify as part of this bitcoin news sharing you're talking about.

You're just saying that because you want to create a discussion OP, even if it's virtual as you'd like to point out, you should know that it's being sought after by many people no matter what and it has been used as a means to buy goods and services for a long time now. And even if it's all digital to you, it doesn't discount from the fact it proved it's value repeatedly for about a decade now, there's no investments out there that can grow up to 4.9k% in just 7 years, and you're still doubting that bitcoin isn't the best investment out there right now?

That's because price fluctuates and there's market sentiments and these two I believe goes hand in hand as to why the price of bitcoin is ebbing up and down, the reason for that belief is because market is full of people and people have emotions and when there's news that involves bitcoin be it positive or negative, it's going to affect how people see bitcoin and it's future is depending on the news and if it's not in favor to them, they will likely sell which can cause the price to plummet since everyone's selling and there's not a lot of people buying and vice versa but that's not just the only reason as some people see news differently so they react differently, when I said that some people will sell when the news is mostly negative? Some would see those negative as an opportunity for them to buy bitcoin at a much cheaper price and with that combined, we see a sort of buy and sell stability but at the same time fluctuation in prices.

My guy, I have so much going on with my life right now and changing passwords or using different passwords for different accounts in different platforms are the last thing in my mind. It's only a risk if you're handling sensitive information that can jeopardize a lot of people which is unlikely for an individual and most hackers don't really target individuals frequently. Using the same password would probably be the solution for when you lose your device, imagine scrambling through all the passwords you've used and end up not knowing which one you've used.
