It’s not unfair in the eyes of regulators, considering that his platform facilitated a lot of illegal transactions, everything from weapons to illegal drugs, and even, possibly, prostitution. All those activities thrived because of Silk Road, and without it, they likely wouldn’t have had the same reach.

Maybe the government now sees that Ross’s original intention was to create a free market, which aligns with the push for decentralization back then, away from the eyes of government control. But it got out of hand, and that’s why regulation became necessary. If we want Bitcoin to truly prosper, a level of oversight is unavoidable, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing now.

That’s just how the system works, but it shouldn’t cross the line into manipulation. The bonuses casinos give out are already carefully calculated to ensure they still profit in the long run. They’re not doing it out of generosity but it’s all part of the business model.

And by definition, a "bonus" isn’t something you get regularly, instead you usually have to meet certain conditions to earn it, and it's meant to give you a small edge just enough to slightly increase your chances of winning but not enough to completely change the edge on your favor.

That kind of contest tends to finish quickly, and in the end, it just becomes a competition of who’s better at using AI to solve the puzzle. I’m not saying it’s against the forum rules, but I’d suggest trying something more engaging, something that doesn’t rely on AI. After all, we’re humans here, and it’d be nice to focus on creativity and skills that don’t involve letting AI do the heavy lifting.

That would be ideal, but China would need to change its stance on Bitcoin, from banning it to accepting it as legal currency. If we’re looking at presidents who could make a big impact, they’d likely come from major countries with strong economies. In my opinion, China, being a big rival to the US, could have a huge effect. Bitcoin would definitely get a boost if countries that aren’t allies with the US started adopting Bitcoin-friendly policies similar to those in the US.

I’m hoping China will eventually change its stance, but that seems unlikely for now. They’ve been firm in their position since the beginning, and shifting that would take a lot.

For me, the one thing that could really boost my winnings is free spins. I spend more time on sports betting and have tried a few sportsbooks where I’ve experienced free bets, but they’re usually small around $10 to $20. That amount doesn’t take you far. But with free spins, if you’re optimistic, you might hit $100 or even $1,000 if luck’s on your side.

At the end of the day that’s what we’re all after in gambling, (getting lucky).

So why not seize the moment and take a chance?"

We’re not even talking about how much they’ll consider as a national reserve yet. Based on what I’ve read, if they go through with it, they won’t buy everything at once. This makes it easier to approve since they can allocate funds gradually to fulfill the plan of making Bitcoin a national reserve.

Where do most national reserve strategies of other countries come from? Isn’t it usually inspired by the US? So, if the US moves forward with this, other countries might follow their lead, which would be very beneficial for the US. I don’t see any reason or obstacle that could stop this plan from becoming a reality.

Same here, when I searched in google, it redirected me to godex.io/... and when I checked the website in the OP, it’s still in the ICO phase with very little info available on the ICO page. I don’t know, but OP should be more specific about whether its already running or not. If it’s still in the ICO phase, just be transparent and declare the real status of the project.

I was shocked too when I saw the score. It looked like TNT wasn’t taking it seriously, probably because it was a non-bearing game. But in the 4th quarter, they did make a huge run, it just wasn’t enough to pull off a comeback. I can’t help but wonder what the moneyline odds were for DYIP, but honestly, even if the odds were massive, I still wouldn’t bet on such a bad team. They’re just too unreliable.

Looks like we’re about to witness two upsets tonight!

The first game is done, with Blackwater pulling off a surprise win against the heavily favored Fuel Masters. Now, in this second game, SMB is also a heavy favorite but is getting blown out by NorthPort, who’s already up by 21 points as the third quarter ends. It’s gonna take a miracle for SMB to turn this around. What a night!

It’s tough to hold altcoins, especially the new ones, because there’s a high risk they’ll fail. The ones that pump hard often have an equally big chance of dumping and never recovering. If you really want to hold altcoins, I suggest sticking to those that have been tested over time. You can usually find them among the top 10 on CMC, as they’re more stable compared to others.

However, always prioritize investing the majority of your funds in Bitcoin. Even the altcoins I recommended (despite being tested) are still high-risk because altcoins are inherently more volatile.

People don’t really "hold" money, they save it. A lot of us do that without realizing that inflation is slowly eroding its value over time. However, not everyone is willing to take risks. If the inflation rate isn’t too high, most people would rather just save their money and keep working. That’s usually the mindset of those with a regular job, they work and save.

On the other hand, people in business are more open to taking risks. They understand the effects of inflation and know the answer is to invest their money. And, of course, crypto is a great option for that kind of investment.

we can see the inflation rate in 2024 of these countries. ( if we are in a country with high inflation rate, "invest" is the only solution).

it says yes, according to Article II, Section 2, Clause 1:

one example is Clarence Aaron....

yeah I know, Ross is a well-known figure in the crypto space, almost like a legend. But giving someone a pardon isn’t a small thing, so there must be a solid reason behind it. That’s what I really want to know too. Whatever the reason is, I’m just super curious to find out.

Wow, someone with a double life sentence getting pardoned is huge news. I’ll wait for the official announcement about this, but I’m really curious about the reason behind the pardon. There must be some significant positive contributions he made in the past for the government to make that decision. Anyway, it makes me wonder, what kind of impact would this have on the market once it’s officially out in the news?

I’m really liking the Clippers now, especially with Leonard back. Even though he’s still on limited minutes, you can see his consistency in shooting especially that deadly mid-range game. Just hoping he stays injury-free, if Leonard stays healthy, I think the Clippers have a real chance to make it to the NBA Finals.

The reason the community likes Trump is because of his promise to create Bitcoin-friendly policies. If he betrays that promise and focuses on pushing his own meme token to the top, it won’t last long. People will stop supporting him, and that includes his meme token.

Honestly, this shouldn’t even be a question because his meme token is still in its early stages, while Bitcoin is already very stable and backed by institutional investors across different types of investments. so chill OP.

Trump is a businessman, so he understands that the market revolves around Bitcoin, if Bitcoin dumps, altcoins will dump even harder. What I see is that Trump is using his popularity to influence people into investing in his coin, which could mean easy money for him. At the same time, he’s looking after Bitcoin by promoting positive policies to keep it stable and influential in the market.

Nah, just think of it this way, every feature a sportsbook adds is always more for their benefit. In every aspect, they want the advantage. Even withdrawal fees are often higher than the actual network fees, so almost everything they do is designed to make them money. If they don’t add OP’s recommendation, it just means they don’t like it or they’re not gaining any edge from it in the overall gambling activity.

The price prediction makes sense since it’s based on the current price, and with only 12 days left before the end of the month, there’s not much room for a huge price increase, unless something big gets revealed that could trigger a pump, which, honestly, I can’t think of right now. If you look at the trend after Trump won the election, the pumps haven’t been that significant. Prices just seem to be moving within a certain range or level.

The only way to find out if it can be transferred is to try sending it to a specific address. If you’re worried about spending it, don’t worry, just transfer it without actually using it. That way, you can confirm if it’s legitimate or not, because it might just be fake.

Here’s what happened to me before: someone sent me a private key for a MEW wallet that supposedly had a lot of ETH tokens. However, there was no ETH to cover the gas fees. I decided to send some ETH for the gas, but it turned out to be a scam as every time I sent ETH, it would automatically get transferred out. Lesson learned,
