I don't know. I may be wrong, but I kind of understand their position. Why spend resources fighting scams, which, considering the complexity of some apps, can be a useless effort when you can deter scamming developers right from the start with such expensive fines?

I agree with you, there should be filters to protect users from malicious apps, but it can be a double-edged sword as it could give Google Play users a false sense of security. There is no filter that will be 100% efficient.

My guess is Google's just trying to make a point here.  Legal action like this shows they ain't messing around when it comes to scams in their app store.  They probably wanna scare off any shady developers thinking about pulling this kinda crap in the future and  sure, maybe Google should've cracked down on this stuff sooner.  But hey, better late than never, right? As long as regular users can avoid getting ripped off Id say it's a good move.

Well, if you wanna learn something new, putting some money on sports can be pretty fun.  Matches up that football love of yours with the rush of having some skin in the game.  But, dont go thinking with your heart all the time!  Betting on your fav team no matter what is asking to lose money.  Do some readin beforehand on stuff like injuries records, maybe some stats here and there and even put some apps on your phone that have all sorts of tips out there.  Take it slow at first, get your feet wet.  Once you got a good handle on things, then maybe up that wager.  At least that's how I started.

No I have not.  It is most definitely a scam! There is no such thing as a "blockchain registration fee" and what will they "hack" even if it is true that they cooperate with Blockchain?


No. From what you wrote, not a single word.

As far as I know, according to their terms, selling or buying accounts is not allowed at BC.Game casino.  You, and ultimately your account buyer, risk having your account blocked.

OK, I get it. You're just trolling! It was nice chatting with you... Now, welcome to my ignore list.

Yes, it can be absolutely copied, and has been!  Bitcoin's innovation is decentralization, not some magic code that can't be replicated.  There are thousands of cryptocurrencies out there, all inspired by Bitcoin and many directly copying its core technology.  These are called altcoins, and while they might not be exactly the same, they prove that Bitcoin itself isn't some unique, uncopyable invention.

But at least you accepted that Bitcoin is a product (invention) and not a discovery as you claimed before. 

Why do you keep making such stupid claims?  Bitcoin doesn't need to be reverse engineered when it is open source software. Anyone can look into it, copy it, modify it, make their own version of it...


There are literally thousands of altcoins out there that were created by copying the Bitcoin idea and even the original source code.  And you say that it cannot be copied?

The competition to win Eurovision is starting to get intense, and you can see it in how the betting odds are changing! Based on the latest from Eurovisionworld, Switzerland's got the best chance right now with "The Code" by Nemo.  Not far behind them is Croatia's "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" by Baby Lasagna, and the Netherlands is in third with "Europapa" by Joost Klein.   

Of course just because they're on top now doesnt mean they'll stay there.  Italy is in a close fourth, at the moment. And it's never smart to fully count out Ukraine either.

Things are still wide open!

Here is the current odds table for top 10 favourites:

1. Switzerland 2.88   
2. Croatia 4.5   
3. Netherlands 4.5   
4. Italy 7   
5. Ukraine 11   
6. France 17
7. Israel 29   
8. Greece 29
9. Ireland 34   
10. Belgium 101   

Just another one of those WTF? posts for the of fame/shame.  Enjoy! And good luck trying to make any sense of this:

This has to be the dumbest thing I've read on a forum in a long time. 

As explained before, Bitcoin is not a closed system and nothing you said makes any logical sense. Apparently, even the basic definitions of "invention" and "discovery" elude you.  But I have no intention of wasting any more time explaining it to you. So, good luck with your nonsensical theories.

No, I don't agree with you. How can those who bought bitcoin be winners? What did they win?
If you are talking about the markets, the only way to win is to sell the asset at a higher price than the price you bought it for. But according to your definition, those who sell are losers, so you contradict yourself.


Not always. There are countless studies that have confirmed that in the evolution of species, the best features do not always win.


Bitcoin market is not a closed system. It interacts with traditional finance and other cryptocurrencies, new bitcoins are constantly mined, and people can enter and exit the market with fiat currency. This continuous flow makes Bitcoin an open system, not a closed one. But maybe you are confusing the concept of a closed system for a zero-sum aspect within Bitcoin market. Those are completely different things.


By the way, learn how to quote correctly.

OP, what did I tell you in my first reply in this thread? Lots of boring lectures and blah, blah, blah posts about responsible gambling and budgeting - exactly as I predicted. Hahaha!

Biggest beginner mistake? A lot of people will probably say those long, boring lectures about responsibility and budgets. Blah blah blah. Where's the fun in that?  The real winners tend to go all-in, throwing caution and their life savings to the wind.  I mean if you're gonna play, might as well go big right? And when you hit a losing streak, just double down to try and get it back and  chase those losses until you've got nothing left! Who needs rules anyway when you're feeling lucky? Just keep betting it all on red over and over.  Live crazy and dangerously, I always say!  


Obviously I'm just joking here and dont actually recommend any of this.  Please ignore my terrible advice on gambling irresponsibly and blowing your money.  I was just trying to be funny in a sarcastic way.

Woof, this post is a bit tough to decipher.  Sounds like you're saying low transaction fees make gambling more tempting?

But the grammar in the post makes it hard to understand. Rephrasing it with clearer sentences could help everyone get your point.

Well, it really boils down to where you're at in Europe.  Using a local crypto exchange could save you some money versus something international that piles on the fees and  these local spots usually let you directly transfer from your bank account, sidestepping those credit card charges.  Now I ain't gonna suggest any particular exchange to use internationally but I'd say poke around for some big name exchanges that take credit cards globally.  Just be sure to read the fine print on those fees and terms and conditions real careful before you decide.  If you have a question about the reputation of a specific exchange before you decide to send your money, feel free to ask.

I don't think there are merit sources that are designated for any board specifically or that are obligated to send merits to posts people make there. Merit sources and high-ranking members are more likely to spend time in technical boards, so it is natural that more merit is distributed in these boards. If you think there are posts that deserve merits, but they didn't get them, you can always report them to the merit-sharing threads that some merit sources have started.

I think it's always kinda been a crapshoot.  Nobody can ever fully predict what'll happen with bitcoin prices.  Like yeah, the halvings usually cause some stir, but there's always a bazillion other things going on too that push and pull in every direction and  this time around, big institutional money is getting sucked in so their fat wallets could definitely juice prices more than past halvings.  Then again, you never know - if regulations smack down hard, or people just get spooked and bail, it might not turn out so hot.  I aint gonna try calling my shot for 2024.  With crypto, you takes your chances.

I wouldn't say Litecoin is dead, not by a long shot.  Sure, it might not make as many headlines nowdays as in the past, but for me it's still very much alive and kickin'.  I actually prefer using it for daily transactions rather than Bitcoin because the fees are so much lower.  and  Litecoin might not have all the glitz and glamor of some newer cryptos but for getting stuff done fast and on the cheap, it just works.

I bet it's the latter.  Free sports predicting contests probably catch the eyes of a larger crowd.  Putting cash on the line in a competition isn't everyones cup o' tea, particularly if they don't feel extremely self-assured about their betting talents.  Also, dabbling in sports wagers could seem more welcoming to some.  There's a good chance you already closely keep up with a sport and have a decent grasp regarding the teams and players.  Casino games, despite being fun involve more unpredictability and luck.
