what's the deal with winklecoins anyways?

if one coin is pegged to one dollar and you have to use their servers, how is that different than paypal?

its a scheme for them to hold your USD longer to gain more interest income, op

while the winkles hold custody of the dollars, they get to put them in a money market fund or treasuries ladder

marketing-wise, they'll paint it as a legitimate version of tether, but nobody will use it, because accountholders will need to be identified by law

HitBTC holding my bitcoins hostage for months! Is it just me? (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 2 hours ago by SatoshiBrother

I deposited 10+ bitcoins there to trade but then found better prices on another exchange, however when I tried to withdraw it appeared they are on hold.

They requested a ton of documentation and verifications which I provided but they kept asking for stuff including stuff that have been provided already.

It was funny that after all the documentation I provided they insisted on a gmail account, but I don't have one. Was never aware that is required.

Anyway, at this point it appears that they keep asking for stuff just to stall and I'm not sure if they have intention at all to release my bitcoins. This all has been going on for couple of months now.

What are my options to fight this at this point? For me this is almost everything I had and their actions are having real life consequences for me.

Well, they have to protect themselves from getting scammed. Rumor has it that there are some unscrupulous characters in that community.

Please learn from my mistake(s)...how I've financially ruined everything in less than 12 months (self.personalfinance)
submitted 3 hours ago * by FinanciallyFacked

It physically hurts me to be writing this post on this community, as r/ PF has been a place of education, growth and forum I've long benefitted from for over 3 years now (or so I thought).

Some may point out this could be on a different sub, but I want people in PF to see it & learn from my mistakes so they don't end up in the same boat. I'd never wish anyone to be in this boat.

This post should have been something I posted months ago, and maybe calling myself out back then would have helped me from getting to where I am now. Call it a rant, call it venting, call me every self-degrading term you can find in your dictionary, but for me I'm just calling it absolute, rock bottom.

A bit of background on me to give context to the situation: I'm a 24 Y.O. college grad who was blessed enough to have higher education paid for via my grandparents, which left me debt free when I graduated in 2016. I've been working in sales now for over 2 years and in theory should have been banking $25k annually (33% of my take home)

In terms of character - I'm a hard working and genuinely kind person along with being an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.
What is killing me the most however, is that I'm engaged to be married in February to my best friend in the world, and sharing this would ruin everything.

So here we go -

Long story short, I got screwed in the 2017/2018 Cryptocurrency bubble, (even better is that I'm still in (lol)). By November I had invested all my liquidity available in hopes of turning $23k into ____ (I went in without an exit plan (BAD)). I didn't know where it would take me, but I was fully invested..emptied my E*TRADE, Savings, and literally all my liquid cash. By December, $23k had turned into $65k, and by January, $65k had turned into $92k. There are people reading this who will not think that is a lot of money. For me, that was and is a lot of money. High on life, and drunk on greed....

I didn't cash out.

By February, a combination of overtrading and the market crashing had turned my $92k into $38k. By March, $38k was $12k.

Pissed off, upset and angry, I fell into a rut. I had no idea why I hadn't pulled the trigger and gotten out when I should have. I will NOT make that mistake again.

However, at the time, I had no idea that I was falling into depression. You see, I work at home, and spend most of the day in my own head. In hindsight, this was a bad recipe brewing.

I started to chase.

I wanted the money back and I knew those markets were done for. I spent hours on hours learning trading strategies, techniques and more, in effort to start working to get it back.

I can't long or short the coins b/c of my states laws on which exchanges can operate.... but I found a few sites online where I could essentially bet on the price going up or down by a certain value % within a certain amount of time. This lost the remainder of the $12k.

The same gambling sites accepted credit cards. At the time, I had low credit debt between 6 cards, and a credit ceiling of just over $76k at my disposal. Feeling even more depressed from the $12k loss, I started to play around in the online casino. Blackjack to be specific. I filled the credit cards to the brim. (taking out 2 personal loans in the process). What got me to keep going back was that I had winnings on three different occassions of $40k+. And Id lose it all without cashing out. And then go spend more. 'thats how they get you'

Credit score had then dropped from 730 something to 640 (ish).

I freaked out. I called my parents crying (something I've never done), and told them everything. (July by now)

My parents are very well off, and TLDR ... Dad used his family money and savings from 25+ years to pay it all off. I promised him I canclled all the cards, and closed the gambling accounts. I hadn't.

Here we are in September now... and I've just maxed my cards again. There will be no running home this time. There will be no consolidation/loans taken out. I am writing to tell Reddit today that I am over $86k in credit debt alone, my score has fallen to mid 500s, and I have a gambling problem.

This is rock bottom. And I'd never wish this this depression on anybody.
