I don't know about procedure of Tether to freeze/ ban a wallet but I believe they have it. Tether token recoveries is not to freeze or ban a wallet but you can find some information. If the amount exceeding $1000, they will support you but charge you 10% of the recovery amount. You can try to create a support ticket at Tether. Contact Tether Support and maybe will need support from Stake team with evidence of that hack, withdrawal to convince Tether team. Not sure what are the chances of Tether helping out OP since OP is using a gambling platform (which is pretty much a regulatory slippery slope), but I guess there's nothing to lose now. Might as well try.

Then if the news is actually true, then bitcoin will be more accessible to people? (which is great, obviously) But what else are you expecting? A bombastic green candle that would bring bitcoin to all-time highs? Lol

Yeah, I was wondering whether Theymos would see that as a valid reason to change his name, and the sole reason I figured he might have a chance was Theymos's respect for privacy. I assume (but don't know for sure) that Theymos wouldn't just grant a name change for any newbie who requested one, else he'd be inundated with PMs asking for them. And who knows, maybe his inbox is blowing up daily.
Still, it took me a PM, a thread dedicated to my request, and over 2 years in order to have my username change granted....so yeah.
If I were to guess, is that it was a great privacy risk for this dude (it was literally his first and last name lol), while with most people they probably just want a 'better' username because they picked something like bob35321.

That could mean anything lol. But if you're talking about trading in general, there shouldn't be "seasons" — you should be able to make profit regardless of market condition, because that's what traders do — take advantage of both uptrends and downtrends.
^That's assuming that you're a capable trader, of course.

I projected bitcoin’s market dominance - and it indicates it is going to lose at least half of its market value within the next 3-5 years. And probably sooner or later will give ground to Ethereum.
No offense my dude, but when I read this part I don't think I should even continue further. Bitcoin's market dominance is pretty much guaranteed to drop with the release of new cryptocurrencies, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. And don't even get me started with trying to predict market value.

You know what's common with these billionaire critics? Pretty much all of them are in the United States. If you're in a country where your currency and currency restrictions are mostly great (at least compared to other countries), you tend to think that bitcoin is unnecessary. People in other shitty/tight countries would beg to differ though.

Nothing we can do here mate. The chances of Stake.com covering your loss is next to zero, knowing that it's a whopping $165k. Even top exchanges like Binance wouldn't shoulder the loss for you since it's your fault anyway.
Best of luck moving forward. 🫡

I hope what am doing isn't a bad idea for not saving funds?
Only you know what your spending and responsibilities are, not us. So we really can't say for sure if this is a good idea or a bad one. Just make sure you wouldn't be in a bad spot if bitcoin decides to drop down to lower levels.

Nope. You can own bitcoin today just as you can own cash or physical cold today. It's just that centralized exchanges have age requirements so you probably need the help of an adult to be able to buy some.
As with stress and stuff, a young person can handle huge drops simply because a young person can afford to wait decades for his/her investment to go back up. Can't say the same for old folks.
|

Noice. What's their stance though? Will they hold and wait for a good rise, or sell immediately to be able to use the money immediately? Either is fine though. however you believe that it would be better to support only Bitcoin and not other cryptocurrencies.
Probably set aside our personal opinions for now. What's important in this case is for them to get more funding. P.S. What the heck is Clamcoin tho

I mean, bitcoin is a currency/store-of-value, so your options are pretty limited to either or both. It's pretty much like asking how the USD(or your local currency) or an investment asset can help your agriculture business.
|
|
|
That was unexpected. To be fair though, my dude literally used his real first and last name lmao. That privacy risk was probably justified enough for Theymos to do the quick job of changing the username.

There's a reason why a huge majority of people lose tremendous amounts of money with trading — simply because it's not easy and it's definitely not for everyone.
Seriously, trading is overrated. Go get a job or start a business instead. Unless you want to grind for more than a year and shoulder the losses while you're still learning.
|
|
|
The reason for the past price drops? Far more people are selling than buying. It's that simple. When that will happen again is a better question, because no one knows.
|
|
|
Then bitcoin will move to the deepweb-ish market. Pretty much like selling digital drugs.
Will I be negatively affected? Sure, but I'll be totally fine in the grand scheme of things. This is why no one should go 100% invested in bitcoin or in any asset at all, because of potential unforeseen circumstances.

|
|
Meh, $5 million is just a small drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. And taking note that their portfolio value is above $1 billion? You might as well call this $5 million position a hedge.

Is there any safe way to prove that I'm 16? Why do you really need to prove that you're actually 16? You could be 8 and I wouldn't really care. Also is there a reason why it's not safe to post vids of myself?
For privacy reasons. If anything, posting a vid of yourself is arguably worse than using your real name as your username lmao. In the first place you shouldn't have admitted that this is your new account.
|
|
|
If you really don't want to do the research yourself, then just still with good 'ol bitcoin.
But seriously — 95% of people are just better off sticking to bitcoin. Yes, you could potentially be earning more if you pick the right altcoins, but you're better off just getting a job or starting a business in my opinion.

Quite true BUT consider the idea that people engage with this industry when there's a hype or news positive towarda this industry. This somehow breaks the idea. Perhaps right now, many people are just observing how the market will behave on the next days to come. They qon't continuously engage to this industry in a consistent manner. Domino effect is more obvious; market prices will be hyped then possible investors will be interested. Consistency still is lacking simply because volatility is its nature. Profit from riding the waves, is simply the idea which keeps investors coming for it. If we would based on its long time run, then that is indeed true; the market price is continuosly growing.
While there are definitely lots of speed bumps and hurdle along the way, it's technically still a positive feedback loop when you stretch it to a longer time frame. We can't really expect markets to act efficiently all the time; there will always be overhyped events, black swans, fear, etc. It even happens to traditional markets — whereas both overly positive or negative events can be taken advantage of.

Bitcoin/Ethereum: Pretty much long-term holds. Not taking out money unless I really need to.
Everything else: Sell when the hype dies down, or when the token reaches fair value. Might take the risk and hold for longer if in an explosive bull run.
