It should be understood that high leverage is beneficial only to the exchange, since its use by a trader increases the volume in the deal, which entails increased commissions for the exchange when opening and closing a deal by a trader. In case of order liquidation, which is almost 100% with increased volatility, the exchange also receives an increased percentage for closing a position.
As far as I know, it's just about the fee for them, so it doesn't matter if you win or lose, they get their fee one way or another. If you do 500x and win big amounts of money, they still take their fee, they do not need you to lose, that doesn't matter to them. Because while you may do this, there is someone on the opposite side doing the same thing.
Think of it like sports betting, they give you a chance for team A to win or Team B to win, people bet on both sides, and no matter who wins, the bookie wins. Same for exchanges, if they give you an option, doesn't mean that you are trading against them, they are not putting up the money for you to win or lose, if you win they are not the ones who are paying up.
Ну так то разводов конечно достаточно много и вообще с такой статистикой, не самой радостной, заходя в брак, сразу возникают мысли что он разрушится с большой вероятностью, так не это ли является тем самым моментом в котором необходимо составлять брачный договор. Конечно я понимаю что многие сразу начнут говорить и возмущаться что мол ты меня не любишь или готовишь подстилочку, но это на самом деле не взрослая позиция, потому что есть сухая статистика и необходимо принимать взрослые решения, которые не навредят никому, тем более договариваться нужно на берегу. Никому не навязываю мнение.
Брачный договор имеет смысл заключать, если у одного из супругов имеется бизнес, недвижимость и сбережения, а другая сторона просто красивая) Но если у супругов равное имущественное положение, как правило это означает его полное отсутствие, то и смысла заключать брачный договор не имеет смысла, т.к. все имущество нажитое в браке будет при разводе поровну поделено между сторонами.
В значительной степени это верно. Но это больше зашита от такого положения вещей, при котором может быть развод, а "красивая сторона", может в процессе развода отсудить часть имущества, приращённого за годы брака (даже от имущества, приобретённого до брака). Кстати, нередко бывает так, что у "красивой стороны" бизнес и имущество, а у некрасивой - голожопость. Недавно читал про китайскую мафиозницу, которая содеержала гарем из скольких-то там парней. Платила им причём, но тем не менее ограничивала их свободу.)
Ну а если имущество в крипте, то это сразу снимает много вопросов. Биток или особенно Монеро.
No, we still need to trust our loved ones, because it is for their well-being that we have to work so hard. And what will happen to these bitcoins if an accident occurs and no one knows about their existence, or they will know but will not be able to use these savings?
Yeah, just because we had one or few cases doesn't mean that we have to start setting a gap where there shouldn't be one. I don't think anyone has ever thought of putting a ban on cars just because accidents happen. Well, I personally haven't understood what transpired in the entire story because it was very brief in the OP. All I have to say is that, if the woman is found guilty, and the court sees it as stealing, then she might have to face the consequences of her actions. From the look of things, it wasn't given to her willingly, which tells us enough already.
I was a bit surprised when someone from the first page of the reply thinks that there might be some justifiable reasons to what she did. Well, let's see how she explains that in court, especially if the funds where never hers, and she was never entitled to a penny.
Не прошло и суток со дня анонса на "званый ужин", а цена TRUMP уже выросла на 50%. Кроме того, зафиксированы крупные покупки и выводы с Бинанса. Так только на три кошелька было выведено с биржи 2.54 миллиона токенов $TRUMP, что по текущей цене равно более 10 миллионам долларов. Таким образом цена для тех, кто желает попасть на банкет Трампа за 3 миллиона баксов не кажется такой высокой.
Для толстосумов это как пожертвование на благотворительном вечере, а потом можно будет это использовать в качестве статуса, что бы на одном банкете с президентом. Те кто понимает важность связей могут ставить себе за цель посещать такие мероприятия.
А потом это все законотворчество будет перечеркнуто ветом губернатора, как это было ранее в Аризоне. Там, кстати тоже речь шла об инвестировать до 10% в крипту, включая и BTC. И только после того, как с законопроекта удалили такую возможность инвестирования, губернатор подписала закон.
С учётом того, что губернатор Джош Стейн представляет Демократическую партию, а она сейчас в неожиданно большей степени тяготеет к криптоскептицизму (ну, скорее всего из политических антитрамповских соображений, чем реально идейно антибиткойновых ИМХО), то да, такая вероятность выглядит далеко не маленькой, вполне может и заветировать законопроект даже если тот благополучно пройдёт все слушания в парламенте.
Now we can only say for sure that if you had invested in bitcoin 10 years ago, you would definitely have become a millionaire. But no one can say for sure what will happen in 10 years, but everyone hopes that the value of bitcoin will increase many times and everyone will get a good profit.
The truth is that no one knows for sure what the future holds, and past performances doesn’t always guarantee future results. Yes bitcoin works in cycles, but there’s really no tell that the next cycle would have exactly the same outcome as the previous and just like you said, we can only hope that we are right that bitcoin will continue to do what we know it usually does.
Interestingly enough I have read before about how there are some gamblers who manage to get advantage over the house by counting cards. It is rather a simple method but it requires much attention and having a sharp mind in order to memorize numbers and the chances on the next cards left on the deck to be of low or high value.
Still, most of the times casinos take a look at people who are "advantage players", who are eventually kicked off the casino and if they try to return several times, they will get permanently banned from even coming back in.
The fact that card counting gives the player an advantage over the casino is quite real, and the movie "21" starring Kevin Spacey as a university professor was shot based on real events. This film can be considered as basic information for those who want to understand the card counting system and how the casino cruelly deals with such players.
Though, I have always thought movies which are based on gambling and getting as much money from casinos as possible were quite idealized and sometimes exaggerated in order to keep the viewers engaged.
The idea of beating the system and getting millions of dollars from casinos is already attractive as it is, without having to give much context on it. It was obvious a movie about it was going to be a blockbuster. Since making movies is a business, I try not to take literally all I see in those stories as a fact of completely based in real events.
Hey fellas,
tagging you all here with the blessing (and recommendation) from icopress

Basically wanted to invite you to participate in the b1eXch’s Swap Frenzy if you by any chance didn't know it's being held.
In short, it's designed to test out
b1eXch, have a little bit of friendly competition while doing it and potentially earn some rewards in the process.
Our total prize budget is 7k$, will be 9k$ if we get a few more people to participate, and there are also weekly raffles on top of that for all who swap during that week.
We just entered the new month, we finished the previous one with 22 participants and over 75k$ in volume across 234 swaps.
Check it out, drop a few swaps if you like and you might win some prizes along the way

...И при этом нужно заметить, Strategy покупает биткоины быстрее, чем когда-либо ранее: несмотря на медвежий характер рынка, кривая накопления говорит об ускорении, а не о замедлении.
Компания STRC приостановила продажу своих привелигированных акций STRC, после того как их цена снизилась ниже номинала в 100 баксов. Ну, и соответственно прекратиись покупки биткоинов, так как именно этот доход от продажи акций STRC направлялся на покупку BTC. Ранее подобные ситуации наблюдались перед краткосрочными коррекциями биткоина, которые доходили до 40%.
Да есть такое дело, но это произошло только начиная с пятницы...Стратеги часто приостанавливаются покупки биткоинов, когда STRC падает ниже 100 долларов, но что интересно, какправило эти остановки ранее совпадали с падением биткоина на 25–40%.
Не уверен, что сейчас такое произойдет, но то что будет некоторое снижение тут вероятность большая.
Для наглядности даю график котировок STRC где четко видно когда они ушли ниже $100...сейчас уже 99,8 т.е. эти провалы ненадолго.

As mentioned, the swap itself cannot happen "instantly," since a certain number of confirmations must be waited for, and this takes varying amounts of time depending on the blockchain in question. Of course, confirmations are essential; doing without them would leave the exchange wide open to attacks.
Even when you go to a physical fiat exchange, you cannot do an instant swap, it takes a few minutes at best. With instant exchanges, waiting for transaction confirmation makes the whole process take longer than "instant."
btw. b1ack, after how many confirmations is the swap process activated on the Ethereum network? (If there are differences in the number of required confirmations depending on the network, maybe you should write about it somewhere in the ToS)
We can't reveal our exact confirmation requirements, as this information could be used for targeted attacks.
What we can say: confirmation requirements are dynamic based on transaction value. Small amounts require fewer confirmations and process faster. Larger amounts require more confirmations for security.
Example: A $50 swap might process after 1-2 confirmations, while a $5,000 swap needs more confirmations to ensure security.

...We cannot make Bitcoin confirm faster. Nobody can. What we can do is execute the moment confirmations are received, and that's exactly what we do...
The speed of the exchange will depend on what commission the client and the exchange use when sending the transaction to the mempool. And if the client uses a low commission, it may take several hours to complete such a transaction. So the speed of the exchange depends not only on the exchange, but also on the client. And what kind of commission does the b1exch set to increase priority, and is it permanent?
You're absolutely right - swap speed depends on both sides.
Your incoming transaction:If you send with low fees, it takes longer to confirm. We can't speed this up - we're waiting for blockchain confirmations.
Example: You send BTC with 1 sat/vB during high congestion → might take hours for first confirmation. Nothing we can do except wait.
Our outgoing transaction:We monitor current mempool conditions and use appropriate fees to ensure your payout confirms within reasonable time (usually 20-40 minutes for Bitcoin).
We don't use a fixed fee rate - we adjust based on current network conditions. When mempool is congested, we increase fees. When it's clear, we use lower fees.
Bottom line: For fastest swaps, use higher fees when sending to us. We'll handle fast payouts on our end.

Instant exchanges doesn't swap your coins instantly because that's not possible however
That is exactly what I was asking about. I often exchange bitcoins for fiat money on P2P platforms, and many people who run exchanges there follow a simple rule: as soon as they see that the fiat payment has been credited to their account, they immediately release the bitcoins. Quite often this process is even automated - a bot monitors bank notifications and instantly releases bitcoins once the notification about the incoming fiat payment is received.
Because of my experience with fiat exchanges, I find it quite surprising that in the crypto-to-crypto swaps an exchange is called "instant" even when the counter-transaction is not sent at the moment the user's transaction is received, but only after some delay (
b1ack mentions up to 60 seconds for most pairs). What is the difference here compared to crypto-to-fiat exchanges? Why is instant sending possible there, but not possible here? What exactly requires this time - up to 60 seconds - in crypto-to-crypto swaps? If everything is automated, why isn't the algorithm configured to send the counter cryptocurrency at the exact moment it receives a notification that the client's transaction has arrived?
Good question - there's a key difference between fiat P2P and crypto-to-crypto exchanges.
Fiat P2P (why it can be "instant"):Bank transfer is irreversible once confirmed. The seller checks their bank account, sees the money, releases Bitcoin. Done. The fiat can't be clawed back (usually).
Crypto-to-crypto (why we need delays):We need to perform several security checks before sending your payout:
Blockchain confirmation verification - Is the transaction actually confirmed, or just broadcast?
Double-spend checks - Multiple node verification to ensure transaction is valid across our redundant nodes
RPC sanity checks - Cross-checking multiple nodes to prevent node attack/manipulation
Fiat value calculation - Fetching real-time rates from multiple sources to determine accurate payout amount
Liquidity checks - Ensuring we have sufficient reserves for payout
Security validations - Making sure nothing suspicious about the transaction
[/list]
These checks take 30-60 seconds typically.
Why we use multiple nodes:Node attacks aren't uncommon. A malicious actor could spin up a fake node and feed us false information (like fake confirmations). By checking multiple independent nodes, we protect against this.
Example: If 1 node says "confirmed" but 2 other nodes say "unconfirmed," we know something's wrong and don't process the swap.
Why we use multiple fiat sources:Prevents manipulation. If we used one price source and it gets compromised or shows wrong rates, you could get incorrect payout amounts.
The 60-second delay protects both you and us.---
- Bitcoin (BTC) — Going Live Today

b1ack is there indeed a slowdown regarding this, you said that BTC will be relaunched on the 15th yesterday. however, as of the 16th, BTC is still unavailable. You haven't given an update on this either? Approximately when will everything be back to normal, I would like to try to make another transaction, I hope I find what you said, "Increased Swap Speed"
-snip-
And what kind of commission does the b1exch set to increase priority, and is it permanent?
I don't think it's permanent. Apart from blockchain fees, there are swap priority fees that are happening you just need to set this section.

We've been working on internal testing before pushing it live. Happy to announce -
it's live now!Quick clarification: That's not "swap priority fees" - it's
rate protection.How rate protection works:When you're doing a swap and coin exchange rates move against you, rate protection prevents you from taking a loss.
Example:
- You start a BTC → ETH swap
- Quote: You'll get 10 ETH
- Rate protection: 3%
- During processing, ETH price drops
- You'd now only get 9.5 ETH (>3% loss)
-
Swap automatically cancels- You get refunded instead of eating the loss
It's a safety feature to protect you from unfavorable rate movements during the swap process.

I'm also waiting for BTC to go live to try and make a swap, let's just keep being patient in the meantime. They did say it was a
critical update though, so maybe it's taking a lot more time than they initially expected. Anyway, I'm sure they will post another update when it's ready.

I'm also eagerly looking forward to the ETH-BTC pair going back online. I've got a handful of ETH just waiting to finally be converted

Joking aside, b1ack did mention that this is a critical system update. Updates like this can not only take longer than expected—unplanned delays—but also require extensive testing. In this case, it's actually better to be offline for an extra day or two so they can use that time to thoroughly test the software. But in any case, I'm already very excited about the new pairs; I think the integration of additional stablecoins is a great idea.
Thank you for understanding.
Our next coin additions will be focused on Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens. We're building the infrastructure to support more ERC-20 stablecoins and tokens.
We're taking time to do this right - extensive testing before launch to ensure security and reliability.
If we continually invest in bitcoin for, hypothetically speaking, probably about 10 or 20 years. Is that timeframe sufficient enough to sell bitcoin?..
Now we can only say for sure that if you had invested in bitcoin 10 years ago, you would definitely have become a millionaire. But no one can say for sure what will happen in 10 years, but everyone hopes that the value of bitcoin will increase many times and everyone will get a good profit.
No one was Sure of the the outcome of Bitcoin that's a fact but that a lot of people regret not taking the risk regardless of that. Although regretting that you didn't invest 10 years ago isn't really going to change anything but it is really painful that they missed such an opportunity, just looking at the price of Bitcoin today and comparing it to where it was 10 years ago it is enough reason to get frustrated and be in regret. But a lot of people act like the increase of Bitcoin is over and they fail to take advantage of it because they think it's too late.

Поскольку цена акций значительно упала, то и выплаты по дивидендам инвесторы получают от меньшей стоимости, так?...
.. По обычным акциям MSTR вообще ничего не выплачивается и их цена напрямую зависит от цены BTC, но акционеры при этом имеют право голоса. Таким образом, покупая акции MSTR, инвестор опосредственно инвестирует в BTC..
Да все верно по обычным акциям MSTR не выплачиваются дивиденты и они движутся вместе с биткоином, биткоин растет-инвесторы в плюсе и наоборот...)) и по этому это формально это инвестиции в биткоин.
А пока Майкл Сэйлор
сообщил, что компания Strategy приобрела аж 22,337 BTC по средней цене $70,194.
На балансе компании уже 761,068 BTC, а это значит, что до отметки в миллион осталось приобрести 238,932 BTC.
И при этом нужно заметить, Strategy покупает биткоины быстрее, чем когда-либо ранее: несмотря на медвежий характер рынка, кривая накопления говорит об ускорении, а не о замедлении.

А почему инвесторы должны быть недовольны, если дивиденты по акциям STRC выплачиваются ежемесячно в размере 11,5% годовых, в то время как средняя доходность по акциям на рынке ценных бумаг составляет 7-8% годовых.
В своем сегодняшнем посте Майкл Сейлор намекнул о том, что Strategy приобрела очередную партию биткоинов. Сколько было куплено BTC мы узнаем, как обычно, через пару дней.
Поскольку цена акций значительно упала, то и выплаты по дивидендам инвесторы получают от меньшей стоимости, так? Цена акций была $400, сейчас $140 в три раза упала, значит теперь они получают 11% с каждой акции от $140 а не с $400, отсюда и может быть недовольство. И сейчас кстати выгоднее акции Стретеджи покупать с такой просадкой, так что Сейлору может быть даже легче собирать деньги для новых покупок.
