Snip
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.
Donald trump is a politician and I think that, Trump saw an opportunity in crypto and he utilize it to his advantage. Knowing that there were a lot of pro crypto voters before the election so as a good strategist and planner trump used this to his advantage. Because after the election I did not see much change or reform that trump brought to the crypto community I feel too that trump only used the head of the American voters.

I think the most effective way to navigate the "treacherous waters of online betting" is not to look for the most effective gambling strategies to make profit but to behave according to the fact that gambling generally takes your money away rather than give you more.
Siding with reason, accepting the statistics that "99% of people end up losing money in the long run", will make you an effective online bettor, which means you'll spend money on gambling moderately and enjoy the games without expecting returns.
In fact to an extent, everyone believes an effective strategy would change it all which makes the quest for a better strategy becomes addictive and often turns a problem.If it's to build something that could last more than just seeking a good strategy.You can still be doing this and attract yourself more losses.After all,the whole reason behind this is to make quick/fast wins early.
Hypothetically, let say I have a strategy which am using to gamble and it's being really effective with greater success for all my bets and minuscule losses, would I really be moved to make it public for every other gambler to start making use of it so it gets to the house attention of the bookies.
As much as by experience I don't believe that there could exist a long consistent streaks of wins through any strategy, those that have being of little short success are being made secret by those that have it. Chasing after gambling strategy is another dangerous level of gambling addiction. An endless chase it is.

I wonder if this newbie is sharing a true story, just trolling, or farming an account. People here are responding to him seriously.
He accordingly has a Binance account that's "created and verified for the past seven years", and yet just a week ago he also shared in a local post that "as of late last year someone introduced me to bitcoin".
He just "picked interest in it" after that someone outlined Bitcoin's "beneficial interest" and that it's "a futuristic investments", but here he's saying he's been "trading and investing" with his 7-year old Binance account.
Have same opinion to but let's give a benefit of the doubt to OP and maybe the opinions or those suggestions shared by lots of people here can help other people which encounter same situation.
But for what I really know is OP should contact their support directly since their support will provably ask ask some identity verification also other thing to prove that he own that account. If he can provide those requirements asked by Binance support there's good chance that they can help him recover his account.
Binance support is so active and he could provably get those help that he needs, if he choose to contact them first before posting here.

We might learn something from Israel and US' attack on Iran last year, though. That was a serious one. Key political and military leaders, even nuclear scientists, were killed. The supreme leader was even targeted. Bombs on nuclear facilities were dropped. Facilities were destroyed. Iran even retaliated against the US by firing missiles at the US military base in Qatar.
That didn't affect the market, though. Bitcoin didn't care. It continued to rise and even hit an ATH a few months later. It might just be the same this time around, especially because sellers have already done their thing.
You’re right that Bitcoin held up during the first phase of the conflict. It stayed strong only because we didn’t reach the second phase: regime change.
This time, Phase 2 is inevitable. The US won’t be able to negotiate a "Venezuela-style" transition by simply swapping out the top leaders for someone else from the same ruling clique. We are looking at a total power vacuum, and that period of instability will hit both the oil market and Bitcoin hard.

That's probably what the owner of the account he bought said, and now it's difficult for him to recover it if he's not the original owner. It's unclear whether it's that difficult to get Binance verified for Nigerians, or simply to recover the account.

You seem to feign mystery. You're acting too much of a riddle. I guess users prefer clear and straightforward answers rather than childish slogans.
You keep on repeating that you don't ask emails, then why ask emails even when doing swaps? You don't ask for accounts, but why ask users to sign up or sign in? Why, then, don't you remove all such features, optional or not?
Even Bisq has terms and conditions. Whether you admit it or not, you're a centralized service. Yours isn't a trustless system.
Sup, thanks for your questions
We’re not trying to create mystery, clarity is exactly what we aim for.
Email is optional, user enters their email address only if they wish to do so. It is not required to execute a swap. Sign in is also optional and exists for users who want access to order history. Swaps can be completed without creating an account.
Regarding centralization: we do not claim to be a trustless protocol. We are a non custodial instant swap service. There are no user balances, and funds are processed per transaction.
As for the Terms and documentation: during launch we were making minor frontend refinements, which is why some sections were not yet published. Everything is now live and properly structured.
We appreciate direct questions and prefer straightforward discussion!

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.
Not just gambling, but any activity where you can't manage your time well or don't have a good time management plan can lead to addiction. For example, if you play games continuously without thinking about time, if this continues you'll become addicted to gaming especially when it comes to gambling. The risk isn't just addiction, it can also impact your finances.
This is also why there's a lot of advice for gamblers about managing their finances, managing their time and managing their emotions. These aren't just theories they must be put into practice if you can't apply them you're at risk of addiction. I have a friend who gambles frequently even losing track of time. When I reminded him, he said he could control himself and couldn't possibly be addicted. But after seeing him again a few months later, he complained that his addiction was ruining his finances. So managing his time when gambling is crucial to avoiding addiction.

If my data here are right, Israel attacked Iran on June 13. The following day, June 14, the Bitcoin market even closed slightly higher, but not significant enough so that we could attribute a changing behavior in the face of a surprising escalation. The next few days were pretty much sideward movements, except perhaps 10 days later when Bitcoin fell below $101,000 but quickly went back to $105,000 the following day. In other words, we could say Bitcoin didn't care.
Possibly and there is no way for me to say that the drop had a direct link since the timeframe is too small and there usually is a lot of other stuff that affects bitcoin price that makes speculation harder. But when looking at the price you shouldn't just look at June 13.
Markets move mostly based on sentiments not events. For example a shitcoin exchange gets hacked and we see bitcoin market drops because the media makes a lot of noise about it and people panic sell even though it has nothing to do with bitcoin. Then some other time a similar thing happens with another shitcoin exchange and the market doesn't move at all because there isn't that much FUD in the media.
The idea is similar in this situation. They started talking about the attack before the actual thing and the mainstream media was going nuts about it on the days leading to June 13.

But they didn't happen. And if Iran didn't do it back then despite deaths to key personalities, why would they do it today?
It's all about the objective and also knowing that June was a single battle in an ongoing war. You don't use everything you have for one battle that you can win by using your primary weapons. This is exactly why Iran didn't use majority of its power and "tools" at its disposal.
For example the navy and army were never even used. Using the air force was minimal, and majority of the aircrafts remained in underground airbases. Iranian allies were told to stand back (eg. the Yemenis were prepared to enter the field but they were asked not to). Only one branch of Iran's military called the aerospace were used which only activated at most 20% of Iran's missile and drone capabilities. Majority of Iran's missiles weren't even used in those 13 days. All because of what I said at first, this was one battle in an ongoing war and Iranians knew with only a small fraction of their vast power they can crush the enemy.
Anyway, I'm thankful that this discussion is somehow moot already because the attack thought to happen today didn't happen.
It was "supposed to happen" a couple of times in the past 2 months

As I speculated a month ago, so far this has been purely
psychological warfare trying to affect Iran's economy. It has had minimal effects. I say so far because as part of US regime's ongoing war against Iran, I believe there is another battle on the horizon in form of an armed conflict. I think it could possibly take place in spring and the most suitable time for the US regime is end of spring. But considering the speed of their demise and the way they are getting desperate, nothing is predictable except the outcome which will be the same as June 2025.
For now it seems like what the US regime learned from June 2025 was that if they start a war with Iran, they'll end up paying a much heavier price and it won't be a war they can win. So they have been seeking alternative ways (which is mainly terrorism) to hurt Iran to weaken Iranians to pave the way for their invasion later.
For example as part of that war I mentioned, the US regime activated its Takfiri terrorist proxies to kill civilians in Iran mainly on January 8 and 9 during a peaceful protest people had regarding the economy and exchange rate fluctuations. They killed 2427 people to be specific.

Still, Bitcoin could actually rip higher—
Learning from venezuela...
Perhaps that's an altogether different scenario. It wasn't even a war. There was just a quick kidnapping, and that's it. If there was any resistance, it could be likened to a toddler trying to stop Mike Tyson.

That’s what I’m thinking too. The ones left holding are mostly those who don’t believe in FUD and are in this in the long run. Unless they are directly affected by the war itself, they might not see any reason to take out their money from bitcoin. If anything this should be a time to put more money in.
11. Post 66429685 (unedited backup) (by Cheema02) (scraped on Fri Feb 20 18:30:01 CET 2026) in Savers are losing purchasing power quietly!:
That's why it's best to make use of your money than let it sleep in the bank. I don't mean to just spend it on whatever comes to mind. I mean, make it productive. It isn't easy, of course. It takes a lot of research, analysis, effort, time, discipline, and so on. But that's what it takes if you want your money to bear fruits.
However, that doesn't mean we totally avoid keeping money in the banks. We must always have to set aside a certain amount for emergencies and other unforeseen expenses. This amount we surrender, in a way, to slow death by inflation.
Your point about use money to make money is based on reality and its true that many individual thinks that to keep their savings in banks is safe but they don't know after a period of time due to inflation their money can lost its worth gradually. So if they invest thier money wisely instead of to take it in banks then money grows gradually with time and its becomes a source of income. But its not easy to investing money because its requires proper knowledge and planning and patience because in investing also there is a chance of loss. So maintain money in banks is also have importance because it help out in emergency. No doubt inflation can affects its value with time but its a useful way to stay stronger in panicked situation. So there for we should go in balanced situation like out of savings some money can be put in banks and the other is investing in good companies in this way we have financial security in the form of savings in banks and also our money keep growing through investment.

That didn't affect the market, though. Bitcoin didn't care. It continued to rise and even hit an ATH a few months later. It might just be the same this time around, especially because sellers have already done their thing.
Bitcoin went from around $110k down to $98k (-10%) so I wouldn't say "bitcoin didn't care". Similarly oil went up roughly 10% IIRC back in June 2025. And that was minimal effect because Iran only focused on heavily battering Israel and only a handful of US bases in Syria and their Central Command in Qatar.
The fire exchange between Iran and NATO only lasted 13 days too, so it was short. Not enough time to devastate the global economy.
Obviously, there is always going to be a slight drop before it would find a way to bounce back should any war endure more than anticipated and I say this due to the fact that, it’s not uncommon that Bitcoin has being associated as a conflict resonate currency where, certain individuals try to fuel the conflict through Bitcoin donations to conflicting nations and as well, raise funds for arms giving using Bitcoin in conflicting nations which would in turn, increase its demand and price as well in these sad times.

What Iran did NOT do during those 13 days back in June were to:
- Shut down Strait of Hormuz and the rest of the sea routs I mentioned earlier
- Horizontally expanding the conflict that would affect the energy market
- Destroying the bulk of US military bases in the region
- Destroy or capture oil and gas fields under dictatorship tribes in the Persian Gulf
This time things will be different though and in retaliation, Iran will do all of the above and more which would affect the global economy harshly.

I think EL MOHA is referring to regulatory policies, specifically the lack of recognition of Bitcoin as a currency. There must be businesses in some countries like Vietnam, Bangladesh, and others which would've otherwise wanted to publicly announce that they accept Bitcoin payments if not for Bitcoin's illegal status as a direct mode of payment or payment method for goods and services.
Some powerful people just don't want to have a channel of decentralized transactions that doesn't necessarily need to go through their corrupt protocols. That's how greedy they can be-- every medium is an opportunity to implement their taxation policies, and if they're not given a percentage or two, they
whine around and extend their sanctions. I think I see where this is going.
"Scared" to publicly declare that they accept bitcoin? Pardon my ignorance, but why? Is there a deeper secret that I don't know?
Businesses will be closed, and business owners will be arrested and subject to criminal and economic sanctions
(*). This is, at the very least, a threat to our country, especially in key tourist destinations. This news became a major local headline at the time, and no business dared to openly accept crypto to this day.

https://coinvestasi.com/berita/kafe-di-bali-gunakan-kripto-sebagai-metode-pembayaranI read through the link, and I fear that this is not just mere threats anymore...

With hundreds of millions of users, many of whom gullible, combined with all kinds of promotions, analyses, experts' signals, influencers, hype, charts, predictions, and whatnot posted and shared 24/7, it's certainly easier for Twitter to haul new users to partner brokers/exchanges. Which likely means these brokers/exchanges will, in turn, also be generous in terms of exclusive bonuses and other benefits.
With their lord and personal saviour, Elon, leading the campaign, it would be very easy to fool them. Twitter has been moving towards a certain way since he took over the app, and even though this is a long shot, I am not surprised that something like this is a possibility.

As to "macro warning", of what particularly? I hope it isn't Bitcoin's impending death. Otherwise, it's the same old FUD recycled all over again.
I believe OP is referring to a further price decline. The desire (and expectation) of most people for an imminent rebound in bitcoin is still in the air, while, in my opinion, a further decline is clearly inevitable. Considering that bearish season has only just begun.
Since then, it hasn't reclaimed the 6-digit price. But this correction was somehow anticipated. It's in the cycle.
Yes, that's true. So why is everyone so confused about bitcoin falling under bearish pressure?

What's happening is normal in the current situation.
This bear market may be long, you can see that people are not ready to push bitcoin above $70000.
Of course, it will be long if it has always been like this.
The bear market will later be over but it may take few months.
A few months? You're just being optimistic.

Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a long, drawn-out dive into the depths of bitcoin's price.

This is going to be explosive. It seems they can do away with judges with this one. And it could be anybody's fight, but I'm leaning more on Wardley. Dubois disappoints.
When two fighters with a combined knock-out average of 90% collide in the ring, we should not blink because anyone could knock out the other and end the fight.
This is what fights like to see: two fighters who have power and only know how to move forward, especially if it's a title fight. I'm leaning on Wardley, but I never ignore Dubois' power problem. With him, it's his motivation. It's bad for a boxer's reputation if they are a known quitter.

Casinos have options. There are games you can play alone, games you can play against other players, and games you play against the house. You can hop from one game to another depending on your preference or mood.
In plinko, flip, or wheel, would it really matter if you're playing against other players or the house? What makes the difference? Either way, it isn't a skill-based game, you're just relying entirely on luck to win. The results are random and you playing against other players doesn't involve any kind of strategy or any competitive edge.
I think you explained it the best i meant pvp only from fairness point, whereas whole pot is between you and other players and house takes small cut but things are completely random "luck based" so there is really still no need for pvp since it is not skill based.

So in the image below, you could see that;
- In 2018-2019 Bear Run, it lasted for 365 days, while falling in value at 84%
- In 2019-2022 Bull Run, it lasted for 1065 days, while rising in value at 2000%
- In 2022-2023 Bear Run, it lasted for 365 days, while falling in value at 77%
- In 2023-2025 Bull Run, it lasted for 1066 days, while rising in value at 715%
Instead of copying superficial information from the image, next time include dates when you are referring to something like this otherwise it is quite an incomplete view of the situation.
-In 2025-2026 Bear Run, Bitcoin have just fallen more than 73% to 100% of it's previous All Time High (i.e from $126,200) and it is expected to last for another 365 days.
Expected by idiots. If you believe in this, then stake your whole net worth and take out loans to make the most profitable trade in your life. Of course you like most of these idiots won't do it, because you don't believe this.
-In 2026-2028 Bull Run, Bitcoin is expected to rise by 817%. Which also implies that by end of 2028/2029, the price of Bitcoin is expected to hit approximately $400,000 per BTC.
Complete nonsense. It is not expected to rise 817%, terrible example here and completely wrong. Fuck diminishing returns right, it is not as if it was already an established fact. Let's introduce a completely random expected increase in % that makes no sense whatsoever?

What are you saying? Bitcoin hasn't even fallen more than 50% yet.
It does not need to fall more than 50%, check your numbers and don't shitpost.
You are misinterpreting the chart again. They are speculating the 817% rise from the bottom of the crash ($30k-ish) which means they expect it to reach somewhere around $250k not $400k.
It is a terrible chart and the whole premise here is stupid. A crash to 30k would be a bad sign as it shows that decreases are not diminishing, but the upside is diminishing. $125k to $30k would be a 75% decrease.
