Quote: OnceDearHe invested a lot of his ill gotten gains in donations to politicians on both sides. A pre-emptive bribe?Quote: billryanI don't think that he believes he is a scammer. It was just bad timing.
I can imagine the conversations he has had with his compliance officers. SBF literally created something out of nothing, sold it for a lot of money, and still managed to go broke.

He was working on getting crypto regulated, and buying politicians is a long-established tradition. What is strange is how he donated legally to Democrats but engaged in possibly illegal means to give to the Republicans.
As a percentage of his net worth and his company's assets, the portion he gave to politicians isn't that large. We just have not adjusted to the idea of so many billionaires exerting themselves on society.

Reports out today the Federal government is contemplating money laundering charges against some of the biggest names in the crypto field. It seems like the game of musical chairs is concluding. Is it little wonder so many people are telling SBF to shut up?
Will SBF be a modern-day Joe Valachi?

Among the list of go-getting Crypto entrepreneurs, there's going to be at least a few who are as crooked as SBF. The whole bunch of them, crooked and not crooked will probably know where the rot is. But collectively they don't want to upset the status quo.
Follow the money. If platforms are taking USD in and pushing crypto out, especially new coins, then the alarm should be deafening..... Oh. That's most of them.

Before the FTX case broke, crypto advertising was really going mainstream. I was starting to see it everywhere.
I do wonder how many people who keep promoting it are really just planning to dump it permanently once they recover their losses.

Why does the crypto exchange Genesis need new investment to stay afloat?
https://en.cryptonomist.ch/2022/11/22/genesis-bankruptcy-recovery/
It runs some servers.
Charges commission on transactions.
Takes in USD
Where's all the USD gone to?
"withdrawal requests from customers far exceeded the available liquidity with Genesis. "
availability of liquidity = availability of new money from punters.
If Genesis can fail, surely Binance or Coinbase could? Your prefered exchange?

Bitcoin holders sold 1.5 billion dollars worth of assets in November. It is estimated over ninety percent were short-term holders under a year. From that information, you can conclude that most of these sellers lost money. Will they return?

Axe- there is a big difference between an investment and speculation. Investing is a five to seven-year window. You buy now because you think the company will be worth more in the future.
ATT recently fell from the mid20s to under $15. I jumped on it as a great long-term buy, just on dividends, although the stock jumped 25% since.
If you want to speculate if bitcoin will be worth more next week, you have a fifty-fifty chance of getting it right. That's not investing.
Frankly, it would be best if you didn't listen to me. I want you to do your own reading and decide if it is worth owning ,to you.
I know it serves no useful purpose for me, has daily transactions that are down about 30% from its high, has lost market share and has thousands of competitors entering it's field, and its biggest proponents are getting arrested for fraud.
On the other hand, it is up three percent after dropping from nearly sixty to near fifteen.

I don't know how often chargebacks are made at online casinos, but it must be a significant problem. I noticed all the casino affiliate programs mention chargebacks being subtracted or whatever.
I do know back in the day there were a few guys who after getting screwed by a few online casinos decided that two wrongs will make them right.
Apparently, they would use their Credit cards to free-roll the online casinos for large amounts. Deposit big, play big, and if you win cash out, if you lose chargeback.

That is a myth. Car dealers do not want cash, they want you to finance because they get paid for bringing in a finance customer. Have you ever had a car dealer ask you to not pay off your loan too early? Very common tactic, if you pay off your loan in the first 90 days or so the finance company takes back the payment from the dealer for signing up a new customer. When I have bought cars outright, I still always let the dealer write up a loan because that is more profit for the dealer that I don't have to pay. When I negotiate I have a number in mind of how much the dealer can make off of me (usually $300-$500). If they are making money from selling a loan to me for 150 months at 19% interest they see huge dollar signs coming back to them from the finance company. Let them think that. I am paying the loan off the next month and they will get a chargeback for their loan commission.

When we were opening a new casino in Northern Nevada the boss looked at the casino floor and there was an open empty spot. He said get a car in here to give away and do it now. A phone call was made to a car dealer, an Amex card was given, the car was delivered and driven right in the casino within two hours. The next day my buddy tried to buy an iPad and his card was declined. They allowed the purchase of the car but denied his iPad the next day.

The credit card fees will kill the profit. Back about 1990 we found a cheapie for my sister, about 1,000. Dealership refused a credit card unless they could add the fee. We just got it a day or two later.
As to chargebacks all they need do is hold the car until it clears.

I cashed out at Bovada and closed my Bitcoin account for good. Bovada allows you to deposit with a credit card, if you can find one that works, but you can only withdraw with crypto or you can ask for a check but they cost a hundred bucks for each check. I found another roulette wheel in Michigan that takes PayPal so I don't need Bovada anymore and their BS rules. I have never made a deposit with Bitcoin because all I ever make is withdrawals. I already had money in Bovada when they dreamed up the Bitcoin rules. My understanding is now that no matter how you make a deposit at Bovada you have to play through the entire deposit at least once before you can withdraw any of it. At Michigan casinos online you have to play through a bonus at least once but not a deposit. In any event I'm done with Bovada for good, adios.

We have a guy(You) who claims they have a method that can beat roulette consistently with an 80% hit rate.
At one time, you were limited to only Bovada. That was due to either your lack of research or your inability to experiment and try new things.
You say you only make enough to pay your bills( I can't imagine your bills are all that much since you use candles to heat it, and eat sardines.) You could easily be making hundreds of thousands or millions per year if what you are saying is remotely true.
You have been concerned that they may catch on to your superhuman skills and your gig could be up. And yet, you're giving up an entire resource because of a lousy 1x deposit rollover. ROTFLMAO. A 1x rollover on a 1k deposit would be a meager 10 bets if you were to bet $100 a spin. 10 bets with an 80% hit rate mind you.
But even then, it makes no sense to be concerned about a 1x rollover on deposits because you just said. " I have never made a deposit with Bitcoin because all I ever make is withdrawals."
$100 for a check, big friggen deal. Just pump your account up to the maximum cash-out limit and that $100 per check is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Your profit should be at least 30x that amount.
And yes, people have made hundreds of thousands on Bovada via AP and bonus abuse without issue.
It's absolutely tragic that God has given the one person in the world superhuman gambling powers who can't figure out how to do anything with it other than to make enough to pay his bills.

120 million in bitcoin withdrawals overnite, 92% from so-called long term accounts.
It looks like bitcoin is about to do the so-called Death Cross, an event that historically results in a large sell-off. So those of you who think it will hit $250,000 in the next year or so should be prepared for fantastic buying opportunities.

I was one of them. Better to abandon the ship when it's sinking then when it's already sunk. I don't need Bovada anymore therefore I don't need Bitcoin anymore. They can go screw themselves.

Quote: AxelWolfThis is absolutely laughable and why it's impossible for anyone sensible to believe your claims.Quote: EvenBobI cashed out at Bovada and closed my Bitcoin account for good. Bovada allows you to deposit with a credit card, if you can find one that works, but you can only withdraw with crypto or you can ask for a check but they cost a hundred bucks for each check. I found another roulette wheel in Michigan that takes PayPal so I don't need Bovada anymore and their BS rules. I have never made a deposit with Bitcoin because all I ever make is withdrawals. I already had money in Bovada when they dreamed up the Bitcoin rules. My understanding is now that no matter how you make a deposit at Bovada you have to play through the entire deposit at least once before you can withdraw any of it. At Michigan casinos online you have to play through a bonus at least once but not a deposit. In any event I'm done with Bovada for good, adios.

I cannot respond to incoherency, my brain just sees this as nonsense. Talking just to hear yourself talk.

Indeed, having your bank account unexpectedly frozen and/or closed is #3 on my list of 42 risks with crypto. I've had two bank accounts frozen and closed myself, denying me access to my own money while waiting for them to send me my account balance.Quote: ChumpChangeThere's some chatter on twitter that people are getting their bank accounts closed with no notice if they ever had a bank transaction with FTX. They'll get a check in the mail for the balance, but any of the bill pays will be left hanging.

Nope, wrong, don't flatter yourself. I read just enough to realize it was going in the usual incoherent direction it usually goes and I quit. You might not realize this but 98% of your posts regarding me are always the same. More blah de blah blah blah.

Do you realize that Bitcoin is neither a person nor a company? It is an "asset". It would be like saying a Van Gough painting can go screw itself.

I actually laughed out loud when I read this. All you have to do is offend lil Mikey's delicate sensibilities just one time and he will block you forever. And ever and ever. Hilarious. It's been so long that I don't even remember what I said to get him to block me, it was years and years ago back when he rode a bicycle everywhere and was in the process of creating the persona that he was an expert on everything. Now it's Bitcoin that he's the expert on. Who knows what will be next.

Wrong. Bitcoin is a dog, my wife's nephew has a dog named Bitcoin and I've seen him. He answers to the name Bitcoin. And he's definitely not an asset.
