That was a painful interview. Even though Joe Squak is supposedly bullish about bitcoin, he seemed like he did not know shit about bitcoin, and he was asking a lot of real dumb questions, yet Saylor stayed in a good mood through the interview, even though Saylor sometimes loses his patience when the questions are seemingly too dumb.

If you are really planning to be accumulating and/or holding bitcoin for 25-30 years or more, then why should you give more than two flying fucks about the current price.

It would seem to me that you should not give much if any shits about the BTC price for the first 1-2 cycles (4-8 years), and you may well have a preference for lower prices while you are accumulating..

Surely we cannot know about bitcoin's price, but if you are largely trying to invest within reasonable means of your budget, then staying alive is a good idea.

Also regarding your plans to transfer to Electrum.. I would think that maybe you transfer once a month or maybe even once every several months.. .. yet surely you are going to end up with a lot of relatively small UTXO sizes.

Your points are valid and helpful regarding price and transfer to Electrum. I am noting these because, in the long run, we need more informative things, which will keep things beneficial and secure.
My parents are long-term investors in gold, but due to me, they have changed, and their first accumulation of Bitcoin is 4 Bitcoins, which they bought a few days back, and now they are also transferred into my Electrum. Even now, my father is feeling he lost a few things due to having misinformation about Bitcoin, but still, it's good now he is happy and made a good decision.

My preference is still for long-term with my small weekly investments, but this biggie is good. I am really thankful to few members who are giving good suggestions and also pointing out a few things that are always important. I will keep an eye on this because this is going to be the best partner in a long-term journey into this Bitcoin world.

I would think that many folks would consider something in the ballpark of $300k from gold into bitcoin to be a pretty BIG chunk to invest at once, since sometimes it can take some time to get used to various wallets and making sure that the BTC are not lost or stolen due to poor security practices and/or lack of knowledge.

Happy Pizza Day to everyone!
Don’t forget we stay on the shoulders of giants here on this forum!

Quote from: laszlo on May 18, 2010, 12:35:20 AM

I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day. I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I'm aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don't have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a 'breakfast platter' at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you're happy!

I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that. I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.

If you're interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.
Thanks,
Laszlo

I'm a bit of a contrarian when it comes to the Laszlo pizza affair. I wouldn't want to be Laszlo. I think he made a huge mistake. And, no, I don't think buying 2 pizzas for 10,000 BTC was any catalyst for anything. I don't think it helped Bitcoin in any significant way. Very few people I know are even aware of the Laszlo case. What happened was a simple exchange between two people, of which the pizza buyer was the loser and the BTC buyer was the winner. It is common practice for humans to seek, create, deify and praise symbols, and the Laszlo case has become a symbol of "the first Bitcoin physical transaction", but, in my opinion, it doesn't carry the weight and significance that the community attributes to it.

If anything, the Laszlo case serves as a stark reminder of what will happen when one underestimates the value of something and treats it like it's worth nothing.
No, I wouldn't want to be Laszlo.

Laszlo had several incidents in which he spent bitcoin (10k or so) for various pizzas, and Lazlo probably had more than 60k bitcoin that he mined through GPU mining. How many bitcoin did he retain over the years? It is not really publicly known, and even having more than 200 bitcoin right now (with good bitcoin management) would not be a bad thing. A guy could live perpetually with a stash of 200-ish bitcoin.

From my calculation right now, a person would sustainably withdraw $1.26 million per year with a 7% dollar value increase each year if he were to have 200 bitcoin right now. That should be enough to get by for most normies, and I cannot imagine Laszlo having less than 200 BTC right now - whether he knows how to manage his BTC properly might be another question.

@bitmover, what's going on with the withdrawal?

Unfortunately, I’ve used up all my SATS. I think my total wager amount is pretty good. I won’t be able to stay in this position until the end of the tournament, but I think I can finish in the top 30. Looking at rankings in previous tournaments, I definitely need to win a prize in this one. I hope I don’t run into any issues with the prize. I’ve never had any problems with Bitz so far.

If a person has an income of $30k per year and he decides to invest $100 per week into bitcoin (17.3%), then maybe after 5 years he had invested $26k into bitcoin, and if bitcoin suddenly goes up 5x to be worth $130k in a fairly short period of time, the guy might not know how to deal with that situation. Is he going to keep buying bitcoin? Stop buying bitcoin? Or is he going to be tempted to sell some of his bitcoin?

Maybe he never had any investment that was worth that much money, so he has to learn how to deal with having that money and knowing that the price is volatile and that he can sell the bitcoin at any time that he wants. Building up a habit of ongoingly buying bitcoin can help in these circumstances, but also building up back up funds can help in these types of circumstances, too.

That absolutely a high percentage of bitcoin returns that comes after constant accumulation of bitcoin for over 5years. But I’m a bit loss right now so what should be the investors decisions here or does it totally comes down to the investors to decide on what to do with the bitcoin or is there any positive way to approach a situation like this.
I’m just so curious because with high amount of bitcoin like this then such investors would be totally confused so what should be his decision here. Keeping up with more accumulation? Or selling off all his holdings? Or even maybe selling some and securing it what should be the decision here @JayJuanGee.

Well? I made that example with a set of facts that presumes a shooting up of the BTC price after the hypothetical guy had already spent 5 years investing in bitcoin and then the price 5x'ed after that... which surely could happen again, but we are not in that kind of a place currently...

So it could be that I would have to change the timeline in order for hypothetical the facts to work out.. I don't like to get too far off of the facts with my actual numbers, so let me give you some more facts related to the hypothetical, and perhaps you can answer the question regarding what the guy should do.

I am going to reframe the timeline so that the hypothetical guy had started accumulating $100 per week of bitcoin in September 2018, and by September 2024, he had already been accumulating $26k worth of bitcoin, which actually only added up to 1.32 BTC. His average cost per BTC would have had been right around $20k at that time, in September 2023.

At the time in September 2023, the guy did not know that the BTC price was going to go up 6x from his cost per BTC in October 2026.. so it seems to me that the guy does not have enough bitcoin in September 2023 in order to conclude that he can modify his bitcoin accumulation practices of ongoingly buying $100 per week.

If he continued to accumulate bitcoin at $100 per week between September 2024 and now, he would have had invested another $9k and accumulated another 0.104 BTC (which would be about 1.424)... So why not continue to accumulate?

Since the guy is currently earning $30k per year, does the guy want to get to a point that he can quit his job and earn the same $30k per year from his bitcoin? or does he want to get to a higher amount of income from his BTC?

You should be able to decide these kinds of personal preference matters.

If the guy merely wants to be able to get $30k per year from his bitcoin with a 7% per year increase, then he still would need to have at least 4.91 BTC right now in order to be able to accomplish that..

The amount of bitcoin that he needs to sustain the same level of dollar income, such as $30k er year, will continue to be less and less with the passage of time, if we might be learning to valuate our bitcoin based on the 200-WMA or some other kinds of conservative bottom number.

Well said and honestly it's a much more reasonable approach. A lot of people get it wrong and assume that a massive increase in Bitcoin price is enough reason for them to stop accumulating even when their target is not yet reached. Price movements alone shouldn't affect your accumulation plan, even though the amount of Bitcoin needed to sustain a person financially could decrease if the price keeps rising but still its important to remember how volatile Bitcoin can be and should regard any increase as extra benefits but not a reason to stop accumulating since they're yet to reach their target.

A big rise in Bitcoin price alone shouldn’t be enough reason for someone to stop accumulating especially if they still haven’t reached their long term goal. That mindset can be risky because a heavy correction could easily push them backwards again. The goal should be building enough holdings that can actually support the kind of life they want in the future instead of getting too focused on the current fiat value of the portfolio.

Yeah, but will you buy forever??

If you just got to know bitcoin and you are still buying your position, red could be good.

But if you are here for a long time, red isn't that good. We shouldn't be accumulating more money forever, this is greed. We need to spend money to live a good life too

I’ve always supported the idea of take profit at some point and build a good lifestyle, but the investors don't like to hear that. They just try to make things up with stories like maintenance phase…. After accumulation honestly i don't like to hear that. I mean what was the essence of the investment if taking profits isn’t that paramount.

Quote from: bitmover on May 19, 2026, 10:22:20 AM

In Brazil I believe 90% (or more) of banks allows you to buy and sell bitcoin. Even the biggest banks.

But basically none of them allow you to withdrawal. You can buy and sell and pay taxes, but no withdrawal, no p2p selling, etc.

I think that even with such limitations, the bitcoin support is positive and good for bitcoin. People feel more confident about buying bitcoin in a bank, and they can also become more interested about it and google about it. They will quickly find information about wallet, custodial services, etc and they can decide to buy somewhere else and make their own custody or not.

It is a big question if those banks are buying anything at all or instead they are giving users fake exposure to a market. If there is no real buying or there is only buying of a paper ETF, then the only remaining benefit is the exposure/availability to the Bitcoin name which is a quite limited benefit. In fact, given the amount of price performance suppression that such fake buying causes it would be quite questionable to even establish that the benefit of this whole thing outweighs the negatives. I would easily proclaim that fake exposure is worse than no exposure at all. Any kind of Bitcoin adoption must include the ability to withdraw, otherwise it is bullshit. If Revolut can do it, others can too. https://help.revolut.com/help/wealth/cryptocurrencies/crypto-withdraw-deposit/

Logically, this gives banks the possibility to offer crypto withdrawal as an option to the users but it doesn't mean they'll 100% do it. They still can disable crypto withdrawals if they want.

Or they may disable it and enable withdrawal in fiat. That's users seeking withdrawals will receive the fiat equivalent of their coins. I think it is most likely what most of the banks would do.

That is not a withdrawal that is a sale, learn the difference between basic words before you comment here.

Well I came up with a suggestion don’t know if it suit well but just an opinion though.
What if the investors reduces his or her weekly budget for the constant accumulation, so it would reduced the risk a little bit afterall the holder has made so much from the journey. Reducing their monthly or weekly budget would be a smart one to reduce the risk even if the budget is been reduced by 60% or more

I don't see how that helps. In the hypothetical the guy who invests $100 per week for 5 years is getting close to having had invested a whole years of his income into bitcoin. If we add another nearly two years then we have the guy having had invested about $35k which would be 16% higher than his current income... yet he seems to ONLY be around 30% of his goal (1.424/4.91), yet the amount of BTC needed keeps coming down, so I am not sure what the problem is to continue to stack. Y

ou seem to want to try to lessen your accumulation amount when the price is going up, with a hope to maybe buy more if the BTC price dips, yet if the guy had already gotten to a comfortable weekly investment amount, I cannot see any reason to lessen the amount that he is investing each week until maybe he starts to get closer to his goal.. maybe even within 50% of his goal.. whatever his goal might be...and yeah at the same time, these are judgement concerns about how much is enough or more than enough in regards to either how much bitcoin has been accumulated or perhaps how much money had already been invested.

What do you believe the guys goal is? Sure, if he has another 4-8 years that he can wait, then he might not need to continue to invest, but it seems to me that if he has at least 4 more years before he is planning to draw from his stash then he can continue to add to his bitcoin holdings, even if he is feeling as if he had already invested a good amount into bitcoin already.

I doubt that there is any one best answer since guys need to tailor to both their income goals and also to their timeline in which they might want to start drawing from their bitcoin stash.

Right I get the clearer picture now and understands much better when situations like this pop I have gain much opinion and suggestions from you. Thank you so much.
I thought maybe my suggestion might be of help to reduce the risk of the journey by reducing the weekly budgets by some percentage but right now that not what matters at all but it was just an opinion.

I even think scenarios like this some decision comes down to the individual to make with their own preferred path. But setting goals and working towards it would ease the situation instead of the individual not having any directions just accumulating blindly.
Once more thanks for the clarification really appreciated and many of folks would gain more understanding too.

Yup buddy , Your opinion is very mature and I completely agree with it. Setting a specific financial goal makes the investment journey much easier and more meaningful than blindly accumulating wealth.Many people learn to buy when they enter the market, but they don't think about when to take profits or when to rebalance their portfolio. Temporarily reducing their weekly budget may reduce portfolio risk slightly, but without a clear exit plan, it is not possible to take the desired profit in the long run, even at the end of a big bull market.So the advice you gave on setting goals is very important. Just as discipline is needed in Bitcoin investing, it is equally important to have a proper plan for using your assets according to your goals.

ou seem to want to try to lessen your accumulation amount when the price is going up, with a hope to maybe buy more if the BTC price dips, yet if the guy had already gotten to a comfortable weekly investment amount, I cannot see any reason to lessen the amount that he is investing each week until maybe he starts to get closer to his goal.. maybe even within 50% of his goal.. whatever his goal might be...and yeah at the same time, these are judgement concerns about how much is enough or more than enough in regards to either how much bitcoin has been accumulated or perhaps how much money had already been invested.

What do you believe the guys goal is? Sure, if he has another 4-8 years that he can wait, then he might not need to continue to invest, but it seems to me that if he has at least 4 more years before he is planning to draw from his stash then he can continue to add to his bitcoin holdings, even if he is feeling as if he had already invested a good amount into bitcoin already.

I doubt that there is any one best answer since guys need to tailor to both their income goals and also to their timeline in which they might want to start drawing from their bitcoin stash.

There was a 50% drop, the ATH was $126000 but bitcoin dipped to $60000 in February of this year which was slightly more than 50%. But if bitcoin do not fall below $60000, it will be the least volatile cycle after ATH.

Even if it didn’t fall to that level, it was certainly going to be the least volatile bearish market because yearly we should be expecting the market volatility to drop each passing cycle. Many of our predictions were actually around 50% to 60% fall.

Quote from: bitmover on May 19, 2026, 11:23:02 PM

I think things are changing, and bitcoin might be more correlated now to world wide events, such as geopolitics, than halving cycles.

I think this is true most especially since the coming of more institutions through the ETF, bitcoin market investors sentiment is now tied to news (fundamentals as traders call it) and this institutions has also contributed to the market volatility reducing because most are more of holders even though the market cap is also contributing its one quarter too.

I don't know if the Bitz team have fix the issue for you. But when I withdraw my Sats I had to convert or exchange the SATS to USDT OR USDC all you have to do is to choose the one you prefer, I did not put any wallet address. But the SATS was credited directly to my Bitz USDT wallet, I then withdraw the dollars to my TRC20 wallet. The withdrawal was smooth and there was no delay.

bitmover knew the conversion step and he wrote that he did converted his SATS to USDT, then submitted his withdrawal. It's when issue appeared, while there was no issue with SATS > USDT conversion.

The good news is Bitz awared of this case, told the user to contact them and bitmover already sent them a PM by his forum account. It's just waiting time till Bitz is active again, read the PM and resolve it for bitmover.

It's also good news that you had no problems with your SATS conversion, then withdrawal, so it shows that the issue is user by user, not like a systematic issue on Bitz.

I'm catching up on my backlog. The previous post was from a week earlier, the current post is based on last Saturday's data. Processing this data used to take more than a week, but my new server is faster so now it's processed in "only" 4 days:

I think things are changing, and bitcoin might be more correlated now to world wide events, such as geopolitics, than halving cycles.

This is true; things are changing. More investors mean more people who are affected by or pay attention to world events, but I feel bitcoin is still more correlated to halving cycles than world events. I see it as one more factor that determines the supply and demand of bitcoin. A reduced supply, with the demand staying the same, will always make the price go up, and most of these people would take profit when they feel like they've gotten a required price. And the cycle continues again. Halving approaches, people buy, after the halving, people take profits. I don't mean other events don't have an impact, but the biggest and most constant is the halving cycle.

We are facing less volatility. Bitcoin didn't even double its price in the cycle, and now we haven't face even a 50% drop.

There was a 50% drop, the ATH was $126000 but bitcoin dipped to $60000 in February of this year which was slightly more than 50%. But if bitcoin do not fall below $60000, it will be the least volatile cycle after ATH.

The question is, will users be able to withdraw Bitcoin from these wallets?

I do not see it as wallet, I see it has banks helping their customers to save their bitcoin and other crypto assets that they support. Yes, the customers will be able to withdraw their coins. There have been some banks that are going this. I have a friend in UK (not US) that buy bitcoin this way and have it in the bank some years ago.

In Brazil I believe 90% (or more) of banks allows you to buy and sell bitcoin. Even the biggest banks.

But basically none of them allow you to withdrawal. You can buy and sell and pay taxes, but no withdrawal, no p2p selling, etc.

I think that even with such limitations, the bitcoin support is positive and good for bitcoin. People feel more confident about buying bitcoin in a bank, and they can also become more interested about it and google about it. They will quickly find information about wallet, custodial services, etc and they can decide to buy somewhere else and make their own custody or not.

Any activity which utilize the use of btc can be considered as adoption. It may not have the usual financial transaction but once btc is in between or involved in the system, somehow, you are already promoting the use of this digital currency.

Send your Bitz ID please! We’re eager to help you bro

Thank you. Sent you my information in a direct message here in bitcointalk.

I'm glad you are being attended to now.

After all the stress and unpaid internship level support I gave you, don't just pop bottles by yourself and not call me to join when you finally receive your winnings Grin

Hello people. Who ever made withdrawals in Bitz? I am a bit confused.

I asked for withdrawal on my sats. I was forced to make an exchange to USDT (ok, np), I made it and clicked withdrawal.

The system didn't ask me for my wallet address, neither USDT chain, etc. What happens now?

I think this withdrawal process should be much more clearer. I couldn't find any information about it, the FAQ (https://bitz.io/faq) page doesnt give any information about it.

I don't know if the Bitz team have fix the issue for you. But when I withdraw my Sats I had to convert or exchange the SATS to USDT OR USDC all you have to do is to choose the one you prefer, I did not put any wallet address. But the SATS was credited directly to my Bitz USDT wallet, I then withdraw the dollars to my TRC20 wallet. The withdrawal was smooth and there was not delay.

You need to check some old posts in this thread... Once upon a time, I exchanged Sats for USDT, and when I wanted to withdraw, they asked for a deposit. I was thinking about that deposit, but before that, I decided to play a bit more, and eventually I lost everything, so I didn't have anything to withdraw...

I guess they made it "tricky" to fight against abuse... so the best thing you can do is to check with support directly, and they will tell you your options. Good luck, and tell us what happened.

Right now, I’m trying to qualify for the SATS tournament with a very low balance; I only have a few cents left.

I'm currently in 30th place, but with this many points, I'll probably drop out of the top 50 by the end of the tournament. So I'm going to push a little harder.

You have to push harder, and when you climb back to retain yourself in the tournament, you have to avoid withdrawals so that you will always have sats to continue the tournament every time it is started.

They already replied and informed the user (bitmover) that they are ready to help him. Firstly bitmover must give them his user ID on Bitz. There is no explanation why it happened but from my experience and their post, likely with non-bonus-related withdrawals, no issues so far.

At least I can confirm it with my withdrawals from Bitz so far and I saw no users reported any issue with their withdrawals like what bitmover got.

They are definitely going to explain what happened to us after fixing bitmover's issue. Let's just wait...

Quote from: Nathrixxx on Today at 02:44:36 PM

I initially thought maybe they wanted to verify some processes regarding his request for withdrawal before performing the transaction, it's also came to my mind, thinking whether it is possible that such withdrawal will only be credited on your bonus section and it will now be from that bonus you are going to claim your reward and choose to withdraw the bonus, but I don't think there is something wrong with their normal withdrawal process aside from those that already have some wins through the bonus given and I believe they will handle this amicably.

I withdrawn with bitcoin several times, and there is a Bitcoin address for withdrawal.
Reading your post, I test with USDT on ERC20 chain for withdrawal, and there is a USDT ERC20 Address too.

It is unreasonable if a withdrawal request does not include an address for it, and I am not sure why you got that issue?

Why is it risky? It is so easy to recover. A paper wallet can be just a back up of a seed, or even a public/private key pair which you can open in electrum or any other wallet.

If you are not gifting 10,000 or more, it should be fine.

I wouldn't gift a complete novice anything more than a few hundred $ in BTC through a paper wallet. Good thing op's brother kept it well below that, at $50, as confirmed by the op.

A paper wallet is risky for newbies and BTC novices for obvious reasons. I.e. They could easily lose the paper and hence the money. A novice may also fail to import their private key in a safe environment and as a result could lose the coins.

I would also not expect a complete novice to understand the difference between importing and sweeping a private key. So if they choose to import their private key into a software wallet and only spend a part of the funds, they may have to back up their change address before deleting the software wallet. Failure to do so, and they'd lose their funds, and a novice would most likely fail to do so.

Hello people. Who ever made withdrawals in Bitz? I am a bit confused.

I asked for withdrawal on my sats. I was forced to make an exchange to USDT (ok, np), I made it and clicked withdrawal.

The system didn't ask me for my wallet address, neither USDT chain, etc. What happens now?

I think this withdrawal process should be much more clearer. I couldn't find any information about it, the FAQ (https://bitz.io/faq) page doesnt give any information about it.

I withdrawn with bitcoin several times, and there is a Bitcoin address for withdrawal.
Reading your post, I test with USDT on ERC20 chain for withdrawal, and there is a USDT ERC20 Address too.

It is unreasonable if a withdrawal request does not include an address for it, and I am not sure why you got that issue?

Well, something strange is going on.

I asked the withdrawal of my winning from the SATS tournament, and soon after I got signed out from my account and now I can't log in again:

Can you take a look @Bitz_Casino? My login information is 100% correct.

I was very patient and played several tournaments with bonus money and was able to make about $50. I was trying to withdrawal ~$40 and continue playing tournaments.

Send your Bitz ID please! We’re eager to help you bro

Quote from: bitmover on Today at 10:22:20 AM

But basically none of them allow you to withdrawal. You can buy and sell and pay taxes, but no withdrawal, no p2p selling, etc.

The question is, will users be able to withdraw Bitcoin from these wallets?

I do not see it as wallet, I see it has banks helping their customers to save their bitcoin and other crypto assets that they support. Yes, the customers will be able to withdraw their coins. There have been some banks that are going this. I have a friend in UK (not US) that buy bitcoin this way and have it in the bank some years ago.

Quote from: toryn388 on Today at 08:17:27 AM

It basically means that banks will be able to safeguard, control and manage private keys on behalf of customers. Logically, this gives banks the possibility to offer crypto withdrawal as an option to the users but it doesn't mean they'll 100% do it. They still can disable crypto withdrawals if they want.

This is true, it is deposit or have fiat in the bank, convert it or part of it to bitcoin or other coins the bank is listed, convert the coin back to fiat anytime you want. This is what I an trying to say, but the way I said it is truly completely wrong as it is not a direct crypto withdrawal like on exchanges.

Quote from: bitmover on Today at 10:02:08 AM

The most strange thing is that my account was locked or deleted whatever.

I know my situation might be a little specific, as I never made a deposit. But I would be willing to make a deposit to withdrawal, if that is the rule ( i didnt see such rule in the terms of service).

I made my way into winning $50 in a legit way (hundreds, maybe even thousand of small bets over nearly a year).

@God of Thunder, can you take a look please?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5490371.msg66737821#msg66737821

I hope you can easily get both your account and the money you’ve earned back. I once had a withdrawal rejected, but it went through when I tried again. There’s probably a technical issue, the system flagged you for some reason and didn’t allow you to make the withdrawal.

Right now, I’m trying to qualify for the SATS tournament with a very low balance; I only have a few cents left.

I'm currently in 30th place, but with this many points, I'll probably drop out of the top 50 by the end of the tournament. So I'm going to push a little harder.

So it's very likely that an issue with withdrawal with fund from SATS tournaments, as you are the first one reporting this issue so far. Otherwise, with normal withdrawal with fund not from SATS tournament, nobody have ever reported problems with their withdrawal practice without a box for withdrawal address, and their accounts were not logged out then unable to log in again.

So sorry about this. I haven't seen anyone complaining about withdrawals. It could be a little problem from your end, browser side. But let's wait for the Biz team to attend to it.

Alert everyone, SATS whale want to make a huge withdrawal, the market is crashing any moment. Grin

Withdrawals usually go smoothly without any issues. Are there any other issues that could be causing the difficulty?

While I been playing slots at Bitz, I haven't encountered any withdrawal issues, But I was surprised when you couldn't withdraw and suddenly logged out of your Account and had to log back in.

I think you should wait for a response from a Bitz representative for a more precise answer. Hopefully, You can withdraw and enjoy your winnings.

Today, since digital currency is essentially legal, it no longer needs this and many very large businesses out there (ETH, SOL, XRP, etc.) have products that are essentially controlled by a single entity with no problems at all.

It was made decentralized because of the financial crisis

Um, what? That couldn't possibly have anything to do with the PoW architecture, that's for sure. And given that Bitcoin is now a mainstream investment just like the rest, it makes even less sense now.

Quote

Since 99% of Bitcoin holders only care about the price, anybody who controls the price controls the actions of 99% of Bitcoin holders, and thus controls Bitcoin.

Since majority of people that use Coke (cocaine) abuse it
Does that change the fact it can be used for anethestic?

Can you, um, clarify that? I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

Quote from: bitmover on Today at 07:50:20 PM

Quote from: legiteum on Today at 04:55:12 PM

In other words, imagine if (say) 60% of Bitcoin holders by market value--and 90% by marketing power--all agreed at once to a particular change.

Bitcoin holders have no say in the protocol. Miners do.

This is not proof of stake. This is proof of work.

Miners decide which block to mine, which chain to follow. Not holders.

The people who have actual control of the Bitcoin code base is the Bitcoin core development team--although anybody could fork them if they wanted. While I could probably include the two US companies who currently execute the majority of the hash rate in my small list of companies who'd have to agree to the change. I would imagine those companies would go where the money is though.

Regardless, my point that Bitcoin isn't defacto decentralized anymore still stands. A small group of companies/individuals could agree to change it however they want, and the US government could compel them to agree to any change as well.

That's unusual. I have not withdraw USDT before because I haven't been lucky to win anything on the casinos yet, I only deposited a few times but wasn't lucky to win and make withdrawals but I haven't noticed any delay or issues with the withdrawals so maybe something is wrong somewhere, maybe it's a technical issue or something. I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon so let's just wait for OP to address this issue and rectify everything.

Hey fillippone

Why don't you adapt your extension to altcoinstalks as well?

I just added these lines to make it work there, but the result wasn't good yet.

Code:

// @match *://*.bitcointalk.org/*
// @match *://*.altcoinstalks.com/*

NotATether was asking for a dark theme there, I think it is easy for you to provide the adaptions for it.

What happens in altcointalk, says in altcoinstalk.
I would rather prefer to speak about what we are doing here.
Maybe, if I have time, I will do something also on the other forum, but bitcointalk is the main part of my time, interest and commitment.

Quote from: bitmover on Today at 06:50:43 PM

Yeah, and search for several derivation paths. Even tools like iancoleman.io can work

It may be worth mentioning that this works only if your blockchain.com seed phrase is BIP39.
If you have an old blockchain.com seed phrase, your only option is to use blockchain.com itself there is no other tool that can calculate your keys.

[edited out]

If I gambled I would take under 60k by new years day 2027
For at any day from today.

Bitstamp any time of the days.
I would put up 8 and expect 92.
But I don't gamble with members on price of coins

That seems to mean that you expect 92% odds that under $60k will not be reached before 00:00 January 1, 2027 - most likely referring to UTC time.

With those odds, I would probably take your side of the bet, too.

Are they really that pessimistic about the future of Bitcoin?
Have they stopped believing or forgotten that two years ago, 60k was the peak? Roll Eyes

Or is this just a strategy to get better prices on their BTC purchases? Roll Eyes

It is difficult to know when guys are spouting out odds that really seem to be outrageous, and frequently they won't bet on those odds, so it may well be the case that they don't really believe it. Personally, I have the sense that a guy should be willing to bet on any claims that he is making - even though I can appreciate that someone might want to have a bit of a margin for error, so even if he were proclaiming that the odds for going below $60k before January 1, 2027, he might say that he would ONLY be willing to bet on 80% odds, because he wants to retain some margin of error.

Another things that guys might not want the complications of betting in a forum like this, and surely there could be logistics reasons, personal privacy reasons or even some reasons of not really wanting to deal with certain other forum members...and even if we were to be able to get some agreed-to neutral member to escrow the matter.

The flip-floppers will tend to vary in their expectations, and it may well be true that they actually believe their claims, even when they are flip-flopping from one perspective to what might appear to be the opposite.

Regarding your claim of $60k being the top 2 years ago, that does not seem to be a very material piece of information, since in March 2021 we had top BTC prices in the $64.5k territories, and then in November 2021, we had BTC top prices in that touched on $69k, and then in early 2024, we returned into the $60ks, including achieving a new ATH prior to the April 2024 halvening.. and then even though maybe there was some stagnation between mostly $55k and $65k between April 2024 and October 2024, we ended up getting the trump pump in November 2024, and the rest of BTC's price history is more recently experienced.

In the beginning of the October 2025 correction, I thought it was ridiculous to be aiming for the then 200-WMA that was in the $53.5k price territories, yet by the time the current local low of $59.9k was reached in early February of this year, the 200-WMA was in the ballpark of $58k, so the BTC price got quite close to hitting the 200-WMA, and surely all of those lows or new lows had become more and more possible than many of us had considered them to be.

You can review the historical changes in the 200-WMA as compared to the BTC spot price on this site.

And, all of the craziness of current times, and even the fact that the current BTC prices are currently only floating around 27% higher than the current 200-WMA (of $61.1k), these kinds of ongoing failures of the BTC price to go up, likely cause questions about the extent to which the BTC price might again correct below the 200-WMA, and even bitcoin is not immune from various macro-happenings, and even questionable levels of attack in relation to the ever increasing paper products that cause some centralized (perhaps BTC ETFs, Exchanges, MSTR, etc) holders to hold a lot of bitcoin keys. which likely is not good for the BTC price and/or the various empowerment aspects of bitcoin that comes through various forms of direct holding that would spread more to the retail (or individual) level.

My main contention right now, is that I cannot really feel rest assured that "the bottom is in" prior to my own feelings that we are out of the bear market, and I am not even saying that I am very sure about what kinds of price moves would be needed for me to conclude that we are "out of the bear market," and yeah, whether the odds for below $60k are merely bouncing around in the 50/50 territories or maybe some other value would be better applied to that sub-$60k price threshold seems beyond my own speculative imaginationings (at least in light of current seemingly relevant happenings/factors).

Hello people. Who ever made withdrawals in Bitz? I am a bit confused.

I asked for withdrawal on my sats. I was forced to make an exchange to USDT (ok, np), I made it and clicked withdrawal.

The system didn't ask me for my wallet address, neither USDT chain, etc. What happens now?

I think this withdrawal process should be much more clearer. I couldn't find any information about it, the FAQ (https://bitz.io/faq) page doesnt give any information about it.

I withdrawn with bitcoin several times, and there is a Bitcoin address for withdrawal.
Reading your post, I test with USDT on ERC20 chain for withdrawal, and there is a USDT ERC20 Address too.

It is unreasonable if a withdrawal request does not include an address for it, and I am not sure why you got that issue?

I just won 7th place in the tournament and I already started the new one as the 2nd place!

Once you’ve won a prize in a SATS tournament, it’s easy to make the rankings in the next one. The prizes you win allow you to wager more SATS, and it becomes a cycle. As a result, I see the same names in the top 10 every week. I have a very low balance right now, but I’m confident I’ll secure a spot in this week’s tournament. I’ve started developing some strategies to place more bets, and I think I’ll make it into the top 50. From now on, I’m sure we’ll see you in the top 5 every week, @bitmover.

I hope you haven’t cashed out all your SATS. It’s really important to keep some in reserve so you can keep playing in the tournament and keep winning SATS. Otherwise, starting over from scratch is really hard, trust me, I speak from experience.

The answer to your question is that all your SATS will be converted into a certain amount of USDT in your Bitz account, and you can then withdraw them to your USDT address.

In 2020 I gave a paper wallet to a friend.

It was the seed of a wallet containing $20 in BTC. He was a computer scientist and i know he could recover it after a google search. No big deal and it was a nice gift and way to introduce a friend to bitcoin,.

It can be considered as your Bitcoin "giftcard" to your friend and people with Internet can search and learn about Bitcoin very easily. How to spend coins from a wallet or how to import a private key for accessing the coin and spend it.

Especially now with AI, asking such questions will result in very quick but helpful answers and guides from AI. Reminder for everyone is never share private key with anyone, with any tool, as it's your key, and you must be the only one have it for actually owning your coin.

Like this answer with searching on Google.

Quote

Spending Bitcoin directly with a private key means you are sweeping the funds from a legacy "paper" wallet or a standalone address into a modern, active wallet. To do this securely, you must import the private key into a trusted software wallet, then send the Bitcoin to a new, secure address.

It's a good answer to begin with and learn more after that.

@Cricktor Very helpful answer, thanks. Just to answer your very very first question, apparently my brother knows about bitcoin a lot, but not about teaching Grin

Quote from: BlackHatCoiner on May 17, 2026, 02:27:30 PM

Yes, and it's recommended, because a private key is not human-readable. You should use a seed phrase instead, which is just 12 words, and from which unlimited private keys can be derived. Try downloading Electrum and play with it. Once you understand how it works, you can use that as your main wallet. If the amount of bitcoin you have is high value, then consider buying a hardware wallet like Trezor for additional security.

Wow, I've watched some videos and read some guides. Looks like the seed phrase and the private key aren't the same thing. We could say that the seed phrase is a way to write down the entropy. I just went back to my thermodynamics physics classes. It's astonishing how all the dots connect.

Quote from: bitmover on May 17, 2026, 11:20:05 PM

Why is it risky? It is so easy to recover. A paper wallet can be just a back up of a seed, or even a public/private key pair which you can open in electrum or any other wallet.

I am sharing this opinion as well. After reading about bitcoin this weekend, it seems like a "paper wallet" is a very easy way to store bitcoin.
What I don't like however, is that my brother didn't tell me how he created the paper. If he created it in a public computer, or using a public network, I don't have to trust my brother only, but also the whole internet Huh

I'll have to ask him - just considered this issue.

Quote from: PX-Z on May 17, 2026, 11:30:53 PM

Keeping your funds the old way, like only using a private key QR code, is less secure and also impractical these days. It's much better to use a more modern wallet setup, especially HD wallets, where you only need to securely back up your 12 or 24 word seed phrase. Electrum wallet is the most recommended wallet you can use, always read the official announcement of the update from its github and official site (electrum.org)

Since you're still new to this, spending time reading guides and learning online will really help you understand how wallets and backups properly work.

Yeah that's what I did this weekend and I plan to keep reading about it this week. Electrum looks good to me and it has the benefit that I can see the code online.
But you said 12 or 24 word seed phrase, does it make a difference? With a simple google search, a 12 word seed phrase generally covers 128 bits of entropy whereas 24 words cover 256 bits.
I remember - and just found in my cryptography class notes, that 128 bits is impractical and infeasible for a current computer to break.

I also liked the way you separated the phases into accumulation, maintenance, and liquidation, this made the whole concept easier to understand because each phase comes with a different mindset and different priorities. By the time someone reaches the liquidation stage, the pressure to keep buying back every dip may no longer even exist anymore because the original goal has already been achieved.
So honestly, your write-up already explained the concept very well on its own, Arigato.

I will mention that the liquidation phase could be one in which a person plans to completely cash out of their bitcoin over a certain period of time, and end up as a no coiner or it could be a phase in which a person is merely ongoingly shaving off a certain quantity of bitcoin in a sustainable withdrawal kind of way. Sustainable withdrawal may well entail making sure that the withdrawal amount (in terms of dollars) is not greater than the amount that the bitcoin holdings are continuing to grow.

So in dollar value the whole bitcoin are growing faster than the amount being withdrawn.

So for example, I theorize that, right now, a person with at least 13.1002 BTC could withdraw $80k per year with a 7% raise in his withdraw rate each year forever and ever and ever. And, surely if such person withdraws at the maximum of his withdrawal rate, then he may well end up making mistakes and withdrawing more BTC than his bitcoin holdings would be able to sustain. One way of dealing with the uncertainty would be to withdraw at a lesser amount (such as at $60k per year), another way would be delay withdrawal until such a time that the amount of BTC would more comfortably sustain the $80k per year withdrawal rate, and another way would be to grow the bitcoin holdings to a higher amount, such as if the holding amount were to be 20 BTC, then surely, there is plenty of BTC quantity cushion (something like 50% extra BTC) to provide comfort that the chosen withdrawal rate would be sustainable in the way that it is calculated to be.

Quote from: GhostOfBitcoin on May 16, 2026, 09:46:36 AM

The only way to succeed in a volatile asset like Bitcoin is to follow the DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) strategy.

Take it easy man, i personally wouldn’t say DCA is automatically the best strategy in every single situation. Let’s look at lump sum investing for instance, there are definitely moments where lump-sum investing can outperform DCA. For example, if someone had a decent amount of money available during a major bear market or after a heavy crash, spreading that money too slowly through DCA could actually reduce their upside compared to buying aggressively at those lower prices.
Another mistake most people make is thinking that because you’re using DCA strategy in your bitcoin investment, then the volatility will suddenly disappear, lol that person is a joker if they think this way, if bitcoin drops hard, you must definitely feel the impact regardless of wether you use DCA or not. The advantage that DCA has in this kind of situation is that it will help ease the psychological impact of the crashes on you because your buys were spread across different price levels instead of entering at once.
So personally, I see DCA more as a practical and sustainable approach rather than some perfect strategy that will always guarantee success. For most long-term investors, it’s probably one of the safest ways to stay consistent without stressing too much about market timing, but combining DCA with occasional lump-sum buys during strong dips can sometimes be an even better balance.

Lump sum and buying the dip are different strategies, and they do not need to be thought of in terms of combination in order to be understood as being profitable.

Lump sum tends to reflect an idea of either getting or already having a lot of money that is available to be able to be used to buy bitcoin. So if the money is available, then there is a question of why not use it to buy bitcoin right away rather than deferring such buys (such as using DCA). So the advantage might come from buying right away, especially if the price ends up going up over the period that the DCA would otherwise apply. The same is true whether someone comes to bitcoin as a brand new investor and he had already decided to invest in bitcoin, yet he is trying to determine the extent to which he should use money that he already has available to buy bitcoin right away or to spread his bitcoin buys over some designated period of time.

People will frequently think about DCA as a form of delayed buying of bitcoin, yet it is not really necessarily employed in a way that is delayed, since a person who might be trying to be as aggressive as they can with their ongoing bitcoin buys, they may well be buying as much bitcoin as they are able to buy as soon as the money comes available, so that is not really delaying in buying since they are not really able to reasonably buy bitcoin until they are sure that they have the money as being available.

.......
I like the point you made about how strategy can change over time, in the beginning a person might feel far from their target and then because of that, they might decide to buy aggressively. But after spending years accumulating through different market cycles, they may eventually reach a stage where they feel more comfortable with the size of their holdings and become less aggressive. And the funny thing is that there’s rarely a clear moment where someone says “Okay, this is enough Bitcoin forever.” As a person’s income grows, their responsibilities begin to change, and so does their conviction too, so now they keep reassessing what “enough” even means for them.

I think that people can get to the point of having enough or more than enough bitcoin, yet of course, getting to such a status remains a combination of how much value is put in, and also how the bitcoin price performs during the period that the money was put in and also at later points in time.

Honestly the question about when is it enough as to stop accumulating has not been really answered. by my understanding bitcoin accumulation is just relatively proportionally to you income but we can’t say it’s enough because the standards keeps increasing, target change over time. those who had acquired bitcoin some years back never stop buying, what I think about bitcoin is that there is no such time when we can say it’s enough and I am not acquiring again. what one needs to do is to make use of the opportunity that presents it self to. also take time to spend part of your profit because the end goal is to have a good life. And keep raising the bar.

Yes, of course, we can all have goals to "have a good life," which justifies spending bitcoin, potentially even spending too much too soon in regards too the accumulated amount, the accumulation process and setting accumulation targets that likely will change because the unit of measure (whether the dollar or any other fiat) is constantly debasing at such a rate that our heads tend to be ongoingly spinning in terms of trying to fathom how we are going to keep up with such ongoing debasement.

It could be the case that you, Livingleged, also don't understand that bitcoin has abilities, possibilities and even a history in which its growth in value has outpaced the debasement of the dollar and other fiat currencies.

Let's say that a 35 year old guy with a $30k per year income started buying bitcoin at the beginning of 2016, and he used around $8k of his then $50k savings (various investments that he had been making in the prior 10 years), so his initial purchase of bitcoin ended up being spread out between January 2016 and June 2016, and he bought 18.155 bitcoin over those first 6 months of investing into bitcoin.

Thereafter, he reduced his bitcoin investment amount to $50 per week and he continued to invest into his other investments at $50 per week. So in the subsequent nearly 10 years, he invested an additional $26k and he accumulated about 4.7 BTC.

Therefore right now, the guy would be in his mid-40s, and his bitcoin stash would be right around 22.855, which seems more than enough to support his $30k income, even if his income (or his expected life style) had gone up, right now a 22.855 BTC bitcoin income, his bitcoin quantity would support an income of nearly $140k per year with an increase of 7% in the dollar amount each year forever and ever and ever.

So why would any of us conclude that this particular guys does not have enough bitcoin, based on his having had started from a $30k income and consistently accumulating bitcoin over 10.5 years. The fact of the matter is that this hypothetical guy could have had probably quit his job much earlier based on how his BTC stash had progressed and also based on how the value of the bitcoin had gone up over the years, including if we use the 200-WMA to valuate his bitcoin holdings and to figure out how much dollar value could start to be sustainably withdrawn.

Once a over accumulation is reach what follows is maintenance phase. This is when you protect your holdings and try to maintain a stable portfolio so you don't lose what you have already built because you want to live a good life.

For sure, the larger our bitcoin holdings, then the more we have to figure out ways of protecting our bitcoin stash, even if we might start to sell some of our bitcoin in a sustainable way from time to time.. and so far in bitcoin's history, there can be ways to figure out how to sell some bitcoin within boundaries that the value of the bitcoin continue to go up faster than our sell amounts..and it might not be clear exactly when we might feel that we had gone through our accumulation phase, reached our maintenance phase (which as the name suggests may well not involve net sales or buys), and then a point where we might start to sell some of our holdings.

Why don't you add it to all your pages?

I don't think changing colors makes pages like this any better.

Quote

You could just load the same css file to all pages, they would look all alike.

I have 30 million files on this server. Not all of them are HTML, maybe "only" 20 million, but adding a few kB to each of them quickly adds up to tens of GB extra (storage and bandwidth).

Quote

maybe you can do it in your server settings, like .htaccess or similar without even touched each page code.

I wouldn't know how, but if this is possible, it may work for some sections.

There is no secure system and there is no point in attacking or hacking BitList.co as it provides lists and does not accept deposits. The biggest risk may be that the domain may be blocked in some countries, causing an unpleasant experience if you want to host images through it.

I don't know what you're talking about here.
A site doesn't have to have a deposit option or anything like that to be a target of attacks. Altcoinstalks is just a forum, so the admin struggles to defend it from constant attacks.
I remember even bitmover's bitcoindata.science was once under attack, although it only had a few tools on it. So, what is the reason for the DDoS attack on it?
As for site security, services like X, which have a huge budget and the best server resources, often go down.

I think it is possible that ddos attackers juat target any website on the internet to try to push some of them to paid plans on cloudflare or any other of those providers. .

Even TalkImg has been attacked!

I'm not going to defend theories of separation, but at the time, the sequence of events that allegedly led to this attack leads me to believe that sometimes attacks arise from other interests, and not the objective of directly stealing something from the site.

Well, you're also right I guess but Altcoinstalks got attacked because it allows mixers to advertise on the forum and we all know that such privacy services are disliked by many people. I know the admin of that forum has done a lot to keep it online and now users don't face CF issues at that forum either.

I'm not sure much about DDoS protection of BitList but at least I know that it's a site looked by TryNinja who has managed Ninjastic.space for many years and such a person know how to protect a platform against attacks. I wish that BitList should always be protected by the negative ones who use DDoS attacks to take good services down. If such a thing happens then CF protection is the only solution but that slows down a website.

Fifth place!!!

...

I just want to keep my position now, I don't think I can get to the 4th, which is way ahead of me!

If I really win, I will become a even bigger sats whale lol

Great place! Two more days, so it's far from over... I guess you will have to continue to play, and with a little (or a lot) luck maybe you can keep 5th place or even advance! Good luck, Bitmover... you will need it.

I decided to try the Hammer Crusher. Small balance, but I decided to try with a $0.6 base bet... I crushed just one egg/stone, or whatever that is, and that's it... total disaster and back to zero balance. I hope I will have more luck in the future...

Oh that's really sad, but for me I was not even able to participate in the last tournament because I was really low on SATs to
To me you did really well because I haven't had any of these things like that.

I came across this tournament via bitmover post. Since then I've been very motivated but I haven't accumulated many SATS since the beginning. Because I thought it wouldn't be of much use later. But now even though the tournament is running every week, I can't make any progress. Finished all my sats at last week tournament. Now there are only 700+ SATS, so thinking to take few weeks break and save SATS.

I can vividly related to this because I was alos accumulating a little SATs at first, then I didn't really pay much attention to it to accumulate more, because thoughts it's was actually a daily tasks that wouldn't be valuable later, sometimes I used to forget to participate, but as time goes on I started see how well some members here gave grown thier SATS steadily, well it was truly a consistent work.

A melhor opção dele era a AI. Voce não iria querer a AI procurando pra você no seu PC? Voce ia preferir perder os bitcoins?

O IA apenas pesquisou os ficheiros que ele tinha criado no PC.
Logo, ele já lá tinha a password, nunca tinha foi aberto aquele ficheiro. Então, a pergunta é: ele procurou realmente bem?

Qualquer das formas, claro que certamente iria tomar as medidas necessárias de segurança e iria tentar fazer rodar o IA para tentar ajudar.

Mas, lembre-se, se tem medo da computação quântica, este tipo de exercícios/casos, irão dar cada vez mais ferramentas ao IA para este tipo de casos, e criar uma maior porta de entrada para ser mal utilizada.

No final, fico sempre achar estranho estas historias... Mas, ainda bem para ele.

Porque, sinceramente, não queria uma IA a vasculhar o meu PC. Mesmo que fosse um antigo.
O PC pode nem ter o conteúdo importante/relevante que tenho conhecimento, mas ele existe em bits. Além disso, para fazer este tipo de analise, ele teve deixar esses ficheiros lá.

Sim, é interessante ver a utilidade do IA. Mas, no final, ele tinha lá o ficheiro com a senha, mesmo sem IA ele conseguia lá chegar, só tinha de procurar um pouco melhor.

Pesquise Claude Desktop. A IA está muito avançada e faz tudo por você no computador ou rodando comandos no servidor

Pense que ele passou 10 anos sem esperança e com apenas uma mensagem, a IA busca uma solução nova e executa os comandos como precisam ser executados. Para quem não tinha esperança é um salto de fé que vale a pena tentar, e ele pagou

E bom que esse Claude foi honesto, a primeira coisa que ia pensar é se tiver um client, ate com API legitimas mas que opera segundo uma logica de malware... ia dar muita dor de cabeça pra quem tem as private Keys armazenadas diretamente no computador

Ye tool to already bohat helpful tha. Or ab iss main ye image uploading wala tool bhi add kar daina or bhi faidymand sabit ho ga.

Or ye bhi bohat achi baat hai ky ap ki suggestion par unhon ny ye qadam uthaya or uthaty bhi kiyun naa ye to in ky liye bohat acha hona tha kiyunky users ko to zaroorat hai hi thi iss tool ki.

Or behtari mazeed ye huwi ky iss main mazeed achy features mutarif karwa diye gaye hain jaisa ky image ka size adjust karty huwy daikha bhi jaa sakta hai.

Waisy abhi tak main ny iss ko use to nahi kiya laikin I hope ye acha hi hoga. Main use kar ky phir apna point of view share karun gaa.

Asa he hai, Enho ny BTT sy related almost har tool ko apni websit par integrate kar diya hai. Like agar apko idea ho to pehly bitmover ka tool use kiya jata tha free raffle announcement ke liya laikn phir Bitlist ny ya wala tool bhi apni website par intriduce kar diya. Ab enho ny website mai hoor improvement ki hai wo ya ke mari de gyee suggestion par enho ny BB aur imgtalk ka internative introduce karwa diya hai jo ke meray khayal sy enki website ke liya sonay par sohaga ke tarha apna role play kary ga. Eska faida ya bhi hoga ke website ke traffic hor increase hogi es tools ki waja sy.

Phir enho ny nijastic space bhi bitlist mai integrate kar diya hai. Like every tool jo ke BTT users ki need hai on sabko enho ny ak he platform par merge kar diya hai. All in one stop. Baki ya to hum sirf abhi tools ki baat kar rhy hain, esky elawa baki jo bhi BTT aur ALTT par campaigns ati hain wo sab ki sab jo trusted hai sab enki website par listed hain aur jo campaigns end bhi ho chuki hai laikn trusted hai wo bhi listed hai bitlist par. So ap yaha sy idea laga skty hain ke enho ny ya project kitna bhara bana liya hai, aur kitna faida ho rha hai team ko.

Congratulation to you in advance mate..
I was not able to participate this time around.
But I will not miss this contest next time.
Bitz casino has really been trying their best to keep their platform very busy this time around, and this is a very good strategy.
