In some cases, some leaders of assumed weaker countries being haunted by assumed stronger ones because of some crimes is a conspiracy and setup carefully planned by the attacking country to have a reason to conquer and dominate the trades and resources of the latter just as France has been imposing friendship on Burkina Faso but their brave leader has been repelling them and they've even plotted lots of assassination attempts on him but he's escaped until today.

It would be good if OP drops some proof to his claims, maybe some articles were could read up and perceive the idea in valuable articles, money charts or something to support his claims. We've been seeing people come off with such claims in the past, so it's not new at all. I believe this too would nip in the bud.

This is true, I think it's mobile devices that brought the biggest addiction problems since it's more accessible and private, like your neighbor can even be gambling in an office environment with his mobile device and you'll think he's replying a mail or doing something useful. I've caught my colleagues before gambling during office hours with their mobile devices, such cannot be attempted with their official laptop since the supervisor can see from a distance that you're breaking the office law.

I like the competition because it would encourage existing casinos to find ways to serve their clients better in order to retain them.

More casinos poses a problem of identifying good ones from scam. Some bad actors might take that opportunity to defraud people

New casinos doesn't necessarily mean new gamblers, trust me, the influx of gamblers outnumbers the casinos more than a thousand to one. If you go into the streets and see the way even little children frequent physical betting houses, you'll be amazed, not to mention what is happening online.

What is a dust attack?

A Dust attack is a scenario whereby an attacker sends tiny amounts of bitcoin (dust) to an address. It is a coordinated attack usually sent to numerous addresses, often thousands of them at a time. This kind of attack is not harmful initially when the dust sits in the address and as such the victim might ignore them but when the victim spends the dust together with other UTXOs present in their wallet(if the wallet automatically includes UTXOS during transactions), the attacker can analyze the transactions and have the leverage of linking multiple addresses together and deanonymizing the user.

Diagrammatic representation:



Why dust attacks are initiated

- Linking of wallets Chain analysis companies can initiate such to deanonymize wallets and be able to link certain wallets to a real person.

- Phishing attack:Can serve as a conception phase to a social engineering/ phishing attack as scammers can include OP_RETURN messages of links to phishing sites which can lead to assets loss.

Illustrating this attack



Protective Measures against dust attacks
- Use of modern wallets: Thankfully, some modern wallets like electrum has features that allows you to mark the dust input as "Do Not Spend" which would prevent you from accidentally spending them in the future.

- Migrate funds: You can choose to create a new wallet and migrate other inputs to a new address, leaving the dust behind.

-Using Mixing features: You can opt to use COIN CONTROL feature to enable you manually select the UTXOs to spend, although this is an advanced feature and needs good understanding to use it.

Well I just hope this is for some sort of experiment or practical and not actual business usage since these codes are from third party sources and there is no guarantee there is not an open backdoor, remember it is people's funds you're dealing with, more reason you should hire a set of professional developers to build from scratch or update the security features and customize any third party source code you use. financial systems is a very serious business and not one you should cut around corners with lest you end up being penny wise and pound foolish.



CEX is centralized, meaning it conforms to the regulations of the government, so there is not going to be any CEX without KYC

While we cannot conclude on the future, but presently, there is no altcoin, stable coin or even shitcoin that comes close to the value bitcoin possesses. Bitcoin is not only a crypto asset but a revolution that is reshaping the financial world and it's decentralization and censorship resistance features is giving people back the power over their finances which the government stole a long time ago with its monetary control system. Fiat printing is endless which reduces it's value continuously but bitcoin fixed supply is a tool that has made bitcoin very valuable as demand for it would continue to supersede supply.

This is where I really want to come in. being poor is not the problem but staying poor out of ignorance or lack of desire and action to get yourself out of poverty. The solution is not to keep complaining and do nothing, complaining solves no problem, rather it creates more. So get down to work and improve your finances and take advantage of smart opportunities in bitcoin and your career, even though you wanted to change the world and how it functions, surely you cannot do it as a poor man, you must be a man of affluence before your voice can even be heard.

While you think about ways to cut down expenses, I think you should be giving concentration to ways to increase your income since the expenses keeps coming, I have decided to have a small business besides the one I am doing currently to boost my income. I grow some of the regular things we consume like vegetables, plantain and cassava myself but the economy is still hitting hard and it becomes very important to have a form of additional or passive income source.

I feel if I can expand on these things I grow and have more quantities of it while expanding to possibly poultry and fishery, I can make money from there to buy things that I don't produce so in that aspect my feeding takes care of itself automatically without being catered for from my earnings and still provide some passive income for me, then that should be a good way of not only saving cost, but boosting my income.

99% of Bitcoin supply have not been mined yet, only about 93.6% which shows the report is wrong even without looking at it. Maybe by 2140 we would have an accurate report of the distribution of mined Bitcoin

It's their luck they found out about it when it amounted to nothing and their dedication and good belief system that they held onto it until now, Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning the power is distributed to everyone to wield as much as they can by accumulating it for themselves.

You can grab your own future power by stacking now so that in the future when the price goes really high you've enough to feel powerful in your own little way.

There are cons, maybe on the individual bank level, they have to go through long and strenuous regulatory protocols to keep Bitcoin reserves directly which is why some of them feel better to invest into the spot ETFs, since the ETFs operate on already established regulatory guidelines.

Sometimes these foreign companies do it smartly, but it's still robbery. Now they come into the country with one excuse of handling a different contract, then they secretly scout for where these rare earth metals are and when they detect some costly ones, they find a way of buying the properties, sealing the whole environment and secretly turning it into a mining and extraction site.

Governments doesn't really need to answer these questions since there are entrepreneurs who would sharply identify the needs of people around and turn it into a business activity.

This is why the private sector is very important to coexist with the government so they can provide supplies of direct consumers need and make a living from satisfying clients and revenue for the government.

On the other hand the government is needed to regulate their activities so their actions are properly guided in the interest of the public they serve.

Do you consider what you'll lose if you used straight bets and it doesn't go your way? For me somehow it's a trigger for addiction and big financial loss when you ever a losing streak while using straight bets. It crosses the line between gambling for fun and gambling for profits sharply.

Anytime I'm gambling on straight bets, I'm surely not gambling for fun because I'm always prompted to use funds in not ready to lose therefore I'm more about recovering my money with profits more than actually gambling for the fun

I think I'll go for parlays, although I know very much that straight bets increased the chances of winning since it's only individual bets, but the financial implication can lead someone to easy addiction from chasing lost capital for recovery if you lose, but I'm parlays, you can try out your luck several times and not even spend as much money as possible when you use straight bets.

I'll agree that dude to the price of Bitcoin being higher currently, it may not be very easy to see price doubling it more in a bull run, but not for this current bull run since it's not over yet and we've seen almost a double of the previous ATH.

Still we cannot be entirely conclusive on that fact since more institutions are getting interested and would be adopting in subsequent bull runs. My major concern is that the more such institutions purchases in bulk, if triggers more wins for centralization against the decentralization if it was individuals adopting it at such margin.

Nice discovery OP, this would really be of great help to the flexibility of your business preparations as Bitcoin enthusiasts would be very comfortable to patronize you bearing in mind that you accept it as a medium of payment. Maybe you can add it to your branding and even your billboard. A little advertising would make more clients willing to visit your shop and patronize you because seeing establishments in this country which accepts Bitcoin as a medium of payment is really scarce.

This is because at those times the mempool is less congested and the depth of the mempool is very shallow, so the acceptable fee rate goes low since there's not many transactions for miners to be selecting only those with higher fees. They include almost every transaction into their block and get it confirmed, even those with fees lower than acceptable fee rate.

I would wait with you to get the reply on this because I've never heard of a Bitcoin transaction that got confirmed without fees.

Not necessarily bro, it's very fine to keep it in a financial system that doesn't experience much volatility, it would've been best in Bitcoin but the volatility is a great problem now.

For  people with currencies that crashes against the dollar, they can keep them in stable coins like USDT to reduce the impact of inflation on it or you can even place it in the save option in a microfinance Bank app so it's there getting you little profits while you can break it anytime emergency comes.
