You (not you personally!) wanted regulation this is what comes with regulation, it's the same in every branch, from ridesharing to prostitution, you finally do lawfully things by the book and you cry at night about the times when it wasn't regulated and everything was nice and easy!

In terms of right and privacy and freedom things will get only worse, and this is just the beginning!

I personally would like "them" to focus more on other things when it comes to cryptocurrencies, such as for example stablecoins, or all those shitcoins that are listed on CEXs, and anyone who looks a little closer to that topic sees that 99% of all that is just a nicely packaged scam.

Realistically, the real problems are elsewhere and are much bigger than mixers or LN wallets, but it is obviously much easier for them to fight against mixers because that is how they actually fight against the privacy that they can provide. Maybe it sounds a bit selfish, but I'm glad that we "elderly" will begin to "retire" a little bit and we won't have to witness everything that's coming.

It seems to me that its entirely possible to combine the fun of gambling with earning money. if you are a professional sports bettor you can enjoy both the thrill and the income it brings. As for slots you can also play them for money but it's important to approach this responsibly. Don't quit your main job right away!
Jokes aside. it's true that we all love money but anything that clouds a clear mind is not a winning strategy.

You're right that there's a possibility of combining both the thrill aspect and the earning aspect, but this isn't as easy as it sounds, it'll require a great deal of discipline and self control, because it'll take one to approach gambling responsibly and with a completely clear mind.

For example, those who are considered to be professional gamblers can actually do that combination because they're believed to be a lot more in control of their emotions when gambling, so they can enjoy the game while making good money from the activity.
The same way playing on the slot machines could be quite enjoyable too, but the secret to not getting caught up in the whole thing and losing control is by setting and sticking to your gambling limits, have a good bankroll management and whatever you do, never chase your losses.

If a coin has a halving or something similar, it must likely have a max supply ( because of mathematics).

Not quite, there is a hybrid, doge!
Doge had halvings and a diminishing issuance supply but at the same time the final reward kept going, so it went down from 1 mill to 15.6 k but then it started a constant block reward of 10k per block.

So there is a bit of difference between eth and doge that still have a predictable supply and USDT for example, which could grow 10x in size tomorrow.

betul gan, kalau modal sedikit tentunya yang diharapkan juga gak bisa banyak
saya juga pernah mencobanya tetapi ya seperti agan, hasil yang didapatkan tidak banyak karena memang peningkatan tergantung % modal juga
tetapi setidaknya pernah menoba dan bisa berhasil kalau memang ingin dilakukan.
yach, kita menunggu pergerakan setelah halving apa yang akan terjadi dan kita seharusnya bisa bersiap

lebih baik mencoba daripada tidak sama sekali om
saya terus memantau harga eth yang selalu di share sama kapten707 yang opit dari trading di spot
bahkan sudah mencapai lebih dari 100 x,  dia melakukan trading ETH dengan modal 1 ETH setiap mengalami penurunan
bisa dibayangkan beberaoa hasil yang iya dapatkan setiap naik maupun turun

betul sich gan, selalu berusaha untuk mencoba walau mungkin hasilnya tidak maksimal tetapi tetap ada nilai tambah yang didapatkan.
semua memang tergantung dengan modal, seperti kapten707 karena modalnya sudah cukup besar dan ada ketelatenan yang terus dilakukan untuk
bisa menambah dari apa yang telah dilakukan dengan keuntungan setiap transaksinya.
memang butuh kesiapan untuk mau melakukan itu dengan konsekwen yang tidak pernah putus.

Whats UTXO and why should I care?.

40,000 Sats = $10.63

UTXOs is very common and some of you don't know why you're always paying high fees anytime you send out bitcoin from your wallet, I will explain. Assume you're going to buy Bitcoin on an exchange. Assume you buy 40.000 Sats per day, therefore you purchased 40,000 Sats. The next day, you buy another 40,000 Sats at the exchange and transfer it to your hardware wallet. The next day, you buy another 40,000 sats at the exchange and transfer them to your hardware wallet, giving you 120,000 sats of Bitcoin in your hardware wallet that is safe and secure. That's fantastic. But there's a small problem here. So, every time you sent Bitcoin from the exchange to your hardware wallet, you generated a UTXO (unspent transaction output).


Consider this to be a tiny fraction of Bitcoin; in essence, you have three pieces of Bitcoin here. The trouble is, if you want to send out these three chunks of Bitcoin, you'll have to pay a reasonable amount in fees because each chunk of Bitcoin takes up space in a block on the blockchain, and you have to pay money for the space you're taking up in those blocks. So if you have a lot of UTXOs, you'll take up a lot more space in the block and you'll have to charge for each of these UTXOs in order to send your Bitcoin out.

Bitcoin doesn't care how much Bitcoin you transferred; you can send a million Bitcoin, but if it's all within one UTXO, you'll just be charged a little fee.


Practical.



1. I transferred 3 chunks of Bitcoin; 40,000. 40,000, 40,000 sats (120,000 sats total) from my first sparrow wallet to my second sparrow wallet and in the process i created 3 UTXOs in my wallet, I took three block space on the blockchain in the process.

1a. Then I transferred another 120,000 sats in a single transaction to my second wallet thus creating only 1 UTXO




Sending the Bitcoin.


2. I started with the first transaction, I marked the 3 chunks of bitcoin input of 40,000, 40,000, 40,000 sats a total of 120,000 sats and send at the current network fee of 14.14sats/Vb (as of when I tried it) and the total fees to send out this 120,000 sats was $0.91 beacuse I was charged for the 3 UTXOs I created, now lets compared this fee to that of the single transaction of 120,000 sats (1 UTXO)





2a. I transfer the second transaction of 120,000 sats at the same network fees of 14.14 Sats/Vb and the total fees to send out this bitcoin was $0.41 I saved $0.5 on fee for the same amount of Bitcoin.




Conclusion.



For every bitcoin you send to your wallet you are renting a space in the block if you're sending maybe $100 worth of bitcoin, and you have it spread across 6 UTXOs, thats $10, $10, $10, $10, $10, $50 well, you're going to be eaten alive by fees cause you're going to be paying for each of the block space you rented. So instead of spreading across 6 UTXOs you should wait till you accumulate your $100 Bitcoin and send it to your wallet in a single transaction. 

For those of you saving your signature payment, you will receive 1 UTXO every week and as network fees rise, you will have to pay high fees to get those out. If the network becomes congested again, you may not have enough to cover the amount of UTXOs in your wallet, preventing you from withdrawing your coins.

UTXO Consolidation.


Okay, I've already created a bunch of UTXOs from my signature earnings and daily bitcoin transfers from CEX to my wallet. What do I need to do to get rid of these UTXOs and consolidate my UTXOs into one?


1. Copy your receiver address from the same wallet ( where you sent your coins) and



2. Click UTXO on your sparrow wallet and press Command on your Keyboard and select all the UTXOs and click send



3. Paste the receiver address you copied as the recipient, set your fees and click send and broadcast the transaction and as you can see on the screenshot I've already consolidated 5 UTXOs in my wallet into 1 UTXO.
