Thank you for the comment.
When we refer to a privacy-focused service, we mean that users do not need to register or create an account — swaps can be performed directly from their own wallet.
Xgram operates as a swap aggregator and routes transactions to different liquidity providers. User funds are not held on our platform.

As with most exchange services in the industry, liquidity providers may apply AML checks and, in rare cases, request additional verification for transactions that are flagged as high risk.
This routing model is widely used across many swap aggregators in the industry, and we try to describe it as transparently as possible so users understand how swaps are executed.

Yeah it is, i also consider it to be an attack on BTC's fungibility. When you introduce terms like 'clean' and 'dirty' BTC, then it is obvious what the motive actually is, because to bitcoiners, there is neither clean nor dirty BTC. BTC is BTC. However, i guess that is where we are right now with regulations, and things are probably bound to get worse. Developers are even getting jailed for creating open source, self custodial softwares, it is that crazy.

Thanks for your questions.

The reserve shown in the calculator is only a technical indicator and does not represent an actual wallet balance. This element will most likely be removed or hidden when we finish polishing the interface and design.

Regarding AML/KYC - like most exchange services in the industry, transactions may be subject to additional checks depending on risk scoring from liquidity providers or compliance systems. We prefer to mention this in advance so users understand that such situations may occur.

And yes, the platform is still relatively new and we are continuously improving it. Some interface elements and translations are still being polished.

We appreciate the feedback.

Casino games and house edge cannot create their own luck, except for the random winnings that casinos provide.

In sports betting, it relies on team analysis to see the squad in it, when some of the main players are injured, it usually affects the game later, so sports betting can be won like creating your own opportunities then choose small odds, but it all doesn't fully work sometimes with odds of 1.1x only bettors can fail.

Probably, I mean, if you check Masuda's boxrec, he lost to Tsutsumi, but seeing Masuda's KO rate, it means that Masuda has strong punches, and Donaire needs to be careful with those, he could get hit with one strong punch, and he could go down. Donaire also need to check his stamina, one of the reasons why he lost to Tsutsumi is that he started slowing down in the middle rounds, and Tsutsumi took advantage of that.

Will we ever have the chance to see Bitcoin recognized and used as a currency in line with its original purpose someday?

To be honest, I seriously doubt that. The government is unlikely to allow this because their power would be weakened if they lost control over the monetary system. Secondly, perhaps people also do not want to use Bitcoin as currency. Most people view bitcoin as an investment, and not many people want to use bitcoin for spending.
The chances of Bitcoin becoming and being used as an official and legal currency are very low.

I don't think that we should listen to advice that applies this method on gambling in any case. How does one decide what the right opportunity is? It is always going to be a subjective evaluation and never objective, so by letting ourselves play things more risky whenever we think we should which is the same as basically playing based on feelings it will lead to riskier behavior and more addiction. I've seen this kind of approach being used by people that explain why they played more than their budget allows even if they lost, they say that they have seen a great opportunity. Gambling is not something to be taken lightly, it comes with big risks and because of that we should keep the safe playing under a well managed budget regardless of what opportunities we think are coming or not. Most likely, we just imagined these opportunities and they would lead to losses. We can just think how many times have we heard someone becoming rich by gambling big and how many times we have heard someone ruining themselves? It is clear that a risky approach does not work.

This is pretty bad advice as it tells people to play on excitement and not to stick to strategy and budgeting. If you get thrill from betting money, you will get addicted to this fast and destroy your dopamine receptors long term. Gambling should be fun even if you play with fake money. If it is not, then you are gambling the wrong way.

Yes, but before, he had some fights that lasted and so he had a good gas tank. But as he age, it was sure that his stamina is going to be affected just like in the last fight wherein he could have a better chance to win if he had his second wind and not lose on the judges card, but it's a split decision so it could go either way. But having a gas tank could be a ++ for him.


But Donaire needs to avoid that power punches and not get knockout as the record of Masuda says it all.

Very interesting topic because do we agree that betting against the majority in sports-betting will lead to profitable results overall? I'm not sure that's true. In fact, most of the times if many people are betting on the same thing, it means the bet is underrated, and hence so many people are betting on that.

I've never tried betting on those popular betting options because most of the time I am very certain what I want to bet on, which mostly is e-sports like Dota 2 and League of Legends. E-sports are not yet famous enough to get front-page recognition or be called popular options.

When we describe Xgram as a privacy-focused platform, we mean that standard swaps do not require account registration or the creation of a user profile. Users can perform exchanges directly from their wallets.
At the same time, as with most exchange services, transactions may go through AML risk checks. In rare cases, if a transaction is flagged as high-risk, the liquidity provider executing the swap may request additional verification.
Xgram operates as a technology platform-aggregator that connects users with various liquidity providers who perform the exchanges.

As for monitoring platforms, we are open to cooperation with reliable services and are gradually expanding our presence across different exchange monitoring platforms.

That's what gambling is, but there could be gamblers that are going to play safe, just enough for them to experience gambling itself and then going to the motion of like betting all their money and risking everything. Maybe they have experience worst before, that's why they are reluctant now and hesitant to put all their money on the line.

It might have to reflex on our decision making. Maybe we really don't look at it, but if we examine it more carefully, our decisions in life could be gambling at all. Or we might be that there are gamblers that are aggressive, but then when it comes to life decisions, they are somewhat conservative.

Yeah, it's the same trade-off, just in a different package.

If I remember right, first it was trusting those early online wallets, then it was the new exchanges that swore they were better than Gox. Now it's institutions trusting custodians with their clients' coins. I get why it feels safer...

the names are bigger, they wear suits. But the risk is exactly the same. You're holding an IOU for bitcoin, not the real thing, which took me a while to figure out back in the day.

And those promises have a habit of breaking when things get ugly.

The volumes are quite decent. Institutions have been mostly buying and occasionally selling bitcoin almost on daily basis.
Another advantage of having ETFs is to not worry about the private keys since we the institutions are holding the custody of their bitcoins.
We can say ETFs have it's own pros and cons and while some prefer the real bitcoins, some others might prefer ETFs which is not that bad at all.

Spot on, Darker45. This 'shortcut culture' is a classic case of Technological Solutionism: applying a tool before diagnosing the root cause.

​In my QHSE management experience, AI is often used as a 'miracle pill' to mask structural flaws. But technology is merely a force multiplier; if your process is broken, you simply accelerate your failure at a premium cost.

​Whether in crypto or industry, trying to decouple Wealth from Discipline leads to the same result: expensive noise. True Alpha remains in the 'boring' work of DCA and fundamental analysis that most try to bypass

You right, because staying longer in the game is like going deeper to the button. You can't be expected to be safe when you have practically dedicated all your meaningful time in gamble, you should set a limited time that will still make you stay in charge of your game without crossing the line of addiction.

Moreover, gamble is a thing of fun and should be done at our free hour and not as a daily job, therefore when ever am not that busy with something meaningful with my time is literally when I do gamble so I wouldn't get things mixed up.

Maybe his name was brought up by someone close to the power broker of boxing today and so he approved him knowing the Usyk has a good chance to beat him and at the same time, fans will see that Verhoeven is a legend and could give problems to Usyk in this fight. Sometimes you just got lucky if you're well known and maybe you have connections too that's why he as chosen. But as far as Usyk goes, this is just another fight, just to get his body busy and he won't have the ring rust if ever he will go and fight against pro-boxer in the Heavyweight division. Although it seems that he has clean this division, there are still interim champions that he need to face to really cemented his legacy as the best Heavyweight boxer in this era.

Yeah, that must be it. Most of the ETF's already share their information on how much they buy and sell and their size, and it's evident that they are a lot more holding than the retail investors like us, because they are already rich so they do not need to sell. Still as far as I have seen, there are people there who sell too, but they do not react the way we do in market movements, it's much smaller, because rich people do not care about the daily movements, they care about a decade, and that's what makes retail investor not earn as much as them.

If bitcoin investments somehow manage to show another 10x returns, then we can see people rush behind all type of bitcoin opportunities and ETF also may get revived from that but until then we are going to see that ETF is slowly losing its attractiveness.

I think he meant from the craze on social media, which is lower than before, because he literally can't mean by volume, most of the volume in bitcoin is coming from these ETFs. Although more harm has also been done by them if they done good too. ETFs at the start were in hype, everyone was talking about them, how it can be good or bad. It was an awesome time.
The
Bitcoin price was shooting like a rocket and everything was so bullish. At that time, many made huge profits. But now, as predicted, new users like to invest via Bitcoin ETFs because they really think it is wise to avoid the struggle, which in reality is not a struggle of managing the keys and wallets.
