Both the OP in this thread and the Swapwatch thread, linked to above in Darker45 reply, behave similarly. They have no intention to engage with Bitcointalk users, answer questions, or dispel any doubts voiced by people. Their bot-like activity is very suspicious. I wouldn't trust their monitoring services or the unknown exchanges they advertise.
Stay safe and don't get scammed!

So what if Trump was wrongly called the "first crypto president"? Does that mean he can "save BTC from closing the year in the red"? What makes you think he has that power?
If you come to assess Bitcoin's safe haven label when it's at the bottom, it surely failed. If you do it some other time, it easily passes the test with flying colors. To be fair, perhaps we should take a few steps back and take a look at Bitcoin's overall performance, not just short time frames.
Okay first of all bitcoin don't depends on title or controlled by politicians so you saying or they call trump crypto president, that do not mean that one person can control bitcoin, it's all about how demands , supply and also confidence on the way the global market or events goes.
And again this safe heaven label this don't mean that the price of bitcoin won't drop even when it comes to gold the price still fall sometimes, the thing is that even if it drops can the assets recover from it and holds value as the years pass by because instead of you focusing it if bitcoin is on red or green in a year it's just okay to ask because with this alone it has proven that no matter how the market seems it can still survive and in the terms of a long run bitcoin still holds its value or bitcoin is makes sense as an asset and solid reason to stand strong.
It takes very little for one person to tank Bitcoin by 60% if that person is the head of a major global power. Just look at the Chinese mining ban; those miners only survived because they found a safe haven in the US.
What happens if they are kicked out of the States by a Trump executive order? Or if the DOJ, under presidential direction, goes after Tether again? Remember 2018: Bitcoin plummeted 50% simply because Tether was caught up in US legal proceedings. Political decisions have massive consequences.

The mistake wasn’t calling Trump the "crypto president"—the real mistake was the crypto industry backing him in the election. He used crypto for personal enrichment, and now the Democrats are gearing up for investigations. We’re likely to see a wave of anti-crypto legislation framed as a crackdown on "political bribery." None of this is going to end well for the market.

Of course. The longer you stay in the casino, the more you're hooked on it, and the harder it would be to leave. I think it would be best to set a definite length of time when gambling rather than keep it open.
The risk isn't that you'd be having so much fun you'd completely forget about the time; it's that you'd continue gambling despite not enjoying it anymore. There are many gamblers who aren't excited anymore, already bored, but continue on betting, can't seem to detach themselves from it even if it's supposed to be over.
A person without a plan, someone who doesn't have a strategy, is always adrift, so setting a timer and leaving when the time is up is the best approach. I think even if you're addicted, you can maintain this discipline; it's necessary to do this to feel good about yourself. If you leave when the time is up, you'll feel really good because you've kept your promise to yourself. I bet on sports, and I set different limits for myself there and try not to exceed them.

You might be right about that but our intention is what determines how the end will look like, if your intention is to have fun with it trust me you can gamble as much as you like even though you would want to spend the whole of your day and you won't regret it that's if your mind is fixed to have fun but it's advised to set a limit while gambling just as we also have limit in other things we do which gambling is even more dangerous than most of the things we set limit while doing it so it is good for us to also apply that same method in gambling, by so doing it shows that we are gambling responsibly.
No matter your intention you must always

Hello Darker45,
First of all, apologies for the long silence on this thread.
Over the past few months, we had very limited direct access to Bitcointalk. At the same time, our team was heavily focused on strengthening the core of ETZ-Swap — improving user anonymity and security mechanisms, expanding our liquidity pool, and resolving several structural matters with partners and integrations.
These upgrades required significant internal resources, and we chose to prioritize infrastructure and product stability before returning to public communication.
We’re now fully back online here and ready to actively maintain and develop this topic again.
Regarding your previous points:
1. Fee competitiveness — yes, that’s something we’ve been actively optimizing. Liquidity expansion was one of the key steps to improve execution quality and rates.
2. KYCnot.me — we appreciate the suggestion. We are open to pursuing verified/approved listing status and will follow up accordingly.
We’re here to stay and ready to continue the discussion.

While he has not been performing very well in this, which is why we do not consider him to be very good. He promised to make crypto big, but he has not fulfilled it yet, which is why he is not using this power properly, while he is using this power well in his country. Bitcoin has fallen below its price for some time, this does not mean that Bitcoin or its growth has stopped, but it has the potential to rise this year with many big predictions. It is absolutely okay to do so because at this time everyone's eyes are on Bitcoin, if we do not make any changes in Bitcoin for a while, maybe it will seem to go up, so we should not invest in Bitcoin right now, although this time is good, but sometimes profitable investments have to be abandoned.

As long as there is greed, even the games have become boring, these gamblers can't stop themselves from gambling especially if they have been losing already a huge amount. And most of them are gambling addicts, so they don't just gamble for their greed for money, but they gamble its because their mind can no longer stop them from satisfying their gambling addiction.
At the end of the day, gambling is just all about time management and responsible gambling, if you can't do it, you'll definitely fall into gambling addiction.
11. Post 66407486 (unedited backup) (by tbct_mt2) (scraped on Sat Feb 14 16:19:43 CET 2026) in Question about BTC fork:
Bitcoin fork isn't just a possibility, it's a necessity. Bitcoin has to upgrade. Otherwise, it would get stuck and grow obsolete. Surely, Bitcoin at its current state isn't its best version at all times, forever, especially taking into consideration technological developments. For example, when quantum computers finally become a thing in the future, Bitcoin has to adjust. There's most likely a fork.
However, you have to take note that there isn't just one type of fork. There's soft fork--backward compatible upgrades, doesn't require a blockchain split. There's hard fork--non-backward compatible, results into two separate networks. There's even a kind of fork which simply involves just copying Bitcoin's code like Litecoin, although some don't consider it as such.
Bitcoin forks are necessary things for Bitcoin technical improvements, upgrades to make it stronger, better and more convenient as well as feasible with time so generally it's good. It's only bad if scammers try to use forks for creating their shitcoins as their easy tools to scam people, steal money of people in the market while they don't actually have any technical capability of developments their "projects" after forking from Bitcoin source codes and Bitcoin chain.
Bitcoin fork is a technical feature that is either good or bad depends on people behind each fork but Bitcoin is only one, the longest Bitcoin chain, while other chains are weaker and most of them are useless too.

Their studies are worth reading, although I'm sure it's extremely difficult to establish a direct causation line between exposure to Nintendo game systems as a little kid and becoming, or at least having the potential of becoming, a gambler later in life. It might be a contributing factor, but along with hundreds of others.
the fact is still that there was some kind of exposure to gambling at an early age so i agree that it’s only a contributing factor but it may be one of the biggest factor. but since kids grow up differently, there will be different factors along the way
it’s quite interesting and i’m sure experts may be studying now the modern games kids have that might affect them later on in life
13. Post 66403591 (unedited backup) (by Crypto Library) (scraped on Fri Feb 13 13:32:26 CET 2026) in Is there any idea to withdraw bitcoin from the CEX with low fees ?:
By the way, I would like to draw
NotATether attention because I see on their bitmixlist website that the BitcoinVN platform was founded in 2014, but unexpectedly when I check their website
whois.com, I see that their platform was registered on 2018-03-21. I will request NotATether to check and verify this, and put the correct time in the Founded cell.
Maybe the exchange didn't always have that website or they were founded under a different name. Their website also claims that they have been operating as a cryptocurrency exchange since 2014. More precisely, their
about us page says that the company was founded in late 2013. Could it be that they first started as a physical shop in Vietnam (maybe with bitcoin ATMs) and only later expanded and started offering online exchanges?!
Yes I can also see India about us page that they started their journey on 2014. Thanks for letting me know this .

I don't know why you have to withdraw CEX from another exchange. You have to hold it on a non-custodial wallet at the end of the day. First of all, you have to choose an exchange that doesn't require high fees, as other members already suggested the names. For me, I have been doing a strategy; I am accumulating Bitcoin as well. I have been receiving payment from the signature campaign to a non-custodial wallet. Since I want to break the transaction, so per month I am moving my money into KuCoin and then from KuCoin to Binance through the BEP20 chain, and it does cost a small amount only.
So finally I withdraw Bitcoin from Binance to my hardware wallet. Likely after 3/4 months I withdraw from Binance. So I don't need to spend a lot of fees to break the connection. So you may purchase from Binance or from another exchange and move to another lower-fee exchange through another chain. Then finally withdraw it to the hardware wallet or a non-custodial wallet through the Bitcoin blockchain. It seems MEXC or OKX charge fewer fees now; you may use them to buy Bitcoin or may use them as mediators to reduce the exchanging and withdrawal fees.
I already said that I have to buy it on cex because of my personal reasons and then I am trying to stay safe by transferring to a decentralized wallet. Since my DCA planning amount is not very high, I am looking for some ninja tricks to reduce my withdrawal fees in this regard and maybe I have found it.
But I don't know how much USDT it would be safe to exchange here but for now I think the low amount transactions are risk-free.

I'm not sure about being risk-free. I don't think there's such a transaction with a third-party that's risk-free.
Anyway, if you want to add another layer of security to your transaction, you might want to consider using BitcoinVN via OrangeFren or Trocador. The former has up to 0.016
BTC of BitcoinVN's funds as a guarantee against the service scamming you while the latter insures BitcoinVN transactions 100%. Of course, please do your research. Terms apply.
Actually I have also doubt on them but my monthly transaction amount will be not much higher than $40 or $50, and I think that we can trust at least with this amount in this platform.

If people chose Bitcoin as the go-to currency when moving value across borders, then it's a good thing. It's a testament to its usefulness and practicality. However, as true for the rest of neutral tools, it could be used by both good and bad actors.
To emphasize, to make it a headline, or to highlight only its use by a few bad apples is obvious nitpicking just to discredit it. That's an old bitter way to try give Bitcoin a bad name. We're in 2026 already. If it didn't work more than a decade ago, it won't now.
Also, Bitcoin is transparent. Moreover, its transaction history is public and immutable. In which case, Bitcoin is even helpful to the authorities in finding clues as to the identities of the criminals.
It didn't work previously, but back then, BTC wasn't as relevant as it is now.
Who knows whats on their minds if they
would want to go the defaming route for BTC and regulating all the holes they can due to it..

Years from now, Bitcoin would hit $1,000,000 and corrects all the way to $300,000, and you would still panic about its impending death.
It will not be good for the market at all, but with my predictions, the time that bitcoin gets to $1 million, bitcoin is noore going back to $300000.
This time, bitcoin has not gone below 2.1x when it got to $60000 few days ago. If the price get to $500000, that is still 2.5x fall which still shows reducing volatility as the time is going. In the next more than a 10 year journey that bitcoin get to $1 million, it can not see 3.33x fall.
16. Post 66395732 (unedited backup) (by Pmalek) (scraped on Wed Feb 11 09:07:50 CET 2026) in Should signature campaigns paying to website balance really be accepted?:
They're probably ok with the terms. What wasn't ok was that they weren't paid. But, well, the implied risks must be deemed part and parcel of the terms.
I was talking in general and not about a specific campaign like Betmoco. I am not familiar with the case, but based on the posts of some users in this thread, I can conclude that the casino disappeared and didn't pay their signature campaign participants.
In general, if someone tells you they will pay you a certain way and you agree to it, then it makes no sense complaining about the way you are receiving that money. If you didn't like the conditions, you should have proposed something different or rejected it altogether if the other party didn't agree.
