101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't you think you should invest in Bitcoin instead of burning your money in fire on: June 03, 2024, 11:46:04 AM
Unfortunately addictions are things that stick close to your life with the addict having less and less power to control it. Nicotine is highly addictive and giving it up means horrible withdrawal symptoms that the person has to deal with during the process of deaddiction.

Indeed, I have been lucky enough to not smoke or drink and been able to use that money "saved" to invest. But these addictions will continue in future as people are wooed by so called "e-cigarettes" and so on as the companies dont want to go down making these shit.

The only way is to make people aware, smoking does not make you cool, it kills you and your family by causing cancer. But nobody really cares about what we preach.

First thing is to contact the support team. Nowadays most casinos are having telegram chats, where owners are present and you can approach them too.

If you are certain that they money was not tainted, you should go ahead with proving the source of funds (if you can) and wait for their reply. Most of the times, posting a thread on this forum with the evidence helps, in case you are comfortable about posting the money related matter online.

KYC can get triggered anybody but you should not panic and go with the process.
103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Committing mistakes helps us to become a responsible gambler. on: June 03, 2024, 11:32:34 AM
Mistakes in the sense that someone steals money and tries to gamble it and eventually loses it all, that person is responsible for their actions. Making mistakes is find but when it comes to money at hand, mistakes like these can cost a lot. Gambling is one such thing where greed always takes over and the bankroll based mistakes happen, but they are not difficult to control, just dont gamble with money you dont own.

Learning from the mistake is equally important. What gamblers do is that they lose the money and attempt to win it back and lose more and thus the losses keep piling up till there is no money at hand.
104  Other / Meta / Re: There's enough merits, if hoarders aren't selfish. on: June 03, 2024, 11:24:54 AM
I am of the opinion that if some merit source hoards merits, this will show up to theymos when their merits get refilled every month, they are more likely to get marked by theymos due to this behaviour and eventually lose their merit source role.

For those who are not merit sources but done spend their merits, a merit decay thing should be used in my opinion, decayed merits being recycled to sources for distribution once again.

Maybe this is not the case, it is possible the OP is facing a dearth of merits, because as we have seen from the forum, cycling of merits occurs in specific groups and local communities and if you are not part of them you will be missed out and nobody will notice a thing.

I hope theymos takes the above problem up and attempts to solve it in future.

Lets look at the posting gaps in your history.

This thread was created on May 26, 2024

Before this your last post was on February 02, 2023 and that was making an ANN for UBET
Before that your post was on February 19, 2022 - another year long post gap.

Prior to that your post was for MTT on December 18, 2021 - another year long post gap.

I understand that you come to this forum just to post these ANNs on behalf of these companies to get some money. But if your objective is to earn from this forum you should be more active and participate in discussions.

Dont you think it looks bad when people are discussing things on a forum, and you just dumping your crap once a year in the middle of it and leaving?

My personal current experience. -snip-
I have been using them since several years now, have been a winner of their 200$ faucet roll one time back. I still roll the faucet once every few days hoping to replicate that big win, but so far it has not repeated. Also invested quite a hefty amount on their site, but due to the problems I had to withdraw my coins and wait for better support management to arrive before I trust them with more. Indeed the past few months have been bad for their site but they are trusted and you can see they have sprung back to action.

Their investment scheme is one of the best in the market, better than a bank deposit. But I would not suggest the FUN token, just the 4.08% investment.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky on: June 02, 2024, 05:59:00 AM
We become lucky and ready to have one of the flowing sites that generated huge earnings for us because we've been through a whole lot lately. We should always take to heart that there's only two solid outcomes that will be experienced each time we gamble, it's either you're on the winning team or losing end, that makes sense to everyone in the system. We gamble because we're after the money that comes our way and that's usually one of the terrible aspects of gambling.
That small win is enough to fuel the over-confidence that a gambler has and forces them to play more waiting for the right win. This is bad because the games will likely drain you before you win anything big and the cumulative losses will overcome the profit.

Luck is a slippery thing, so dont chase behind it. In gambling luck will always be on the casino's side, this is what you have to accept and apply. This is not a test where you study and practice to hone your answering skill, it is just luck be it EV- or EV+ which makes sense to not gamble for long durations.

Playing once a while because you are feeling lucky and want to push your luck or visiting Vegas once in a year, that is fine if kept in a limit, but dont get stuck there.
109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they on: June 02, 2024, 05:50:59 AM
The thought of gambling to make money itself is the biggest mistake. They should change the thought to playing gambling games for fun once every 2months or so.

Though the fact that casinos exist is because people have this hidden greed for money and are willing to try their luck on things that have a chance of winning or losing. Still the objective should be clear and once it become clear, that person will no longer wish to gamble with their hard earned money.

There is nothing wrong with being a part of the gambling industry, in fact most of the owners are multi-millionaires, one can become part of it as a investor or affiliate marketer.
110  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading psychology and TA on: June 02, 2024, 05:43:43 AM
However, there is another truth, that I would like to say, Bitcoin is a very solid investment asset, with very good ROI in history, so in either bear market or bull market, if you are an investor with long term plan, the bear market is still very good period for you to accumulate Bitcoin.
This is true for bitcoin, but buying at the mid or highs is something that I would still not recommend. It might go up for that price but in case it does not, it will initially cause mental dissatisfaction to the trader and not all traders will be able to hold through that phase.

Rather the least stressful thing is to buy at the low and wait for that to go up. While TA is more of a day-trading thing, use it only to determine a phase, dont depend on it completely.

Buying low and selling high is a general concept applicable to every speculative asset, not just bitcoin.
111  Other / Meta / Re: Application for Merit Source - TheUltraElite on: June 01, 2024, 12:08:17 PM
Thanks you to all those who have been providing their views on this matter.
I support your application because I have seen you in several boards and your contribution is visible and appreciated.
Appreciate that, I will try to shower merits on every other section I visit too. One of my bigger aspirations is to provide a balance in the merits being distributed to prevent the skewness, it will be tough, but I will try it.

I want to ask in this thread and for anyone, don't be too serious. Have you ever felt that it is very difficult to get merit and think something is wrong that is happening?
Thread is not about merit deficiency in the sections, but like I said above, I am a one man army and hence I am impartial to meriting users on this forum.

I've always seen you in a positive light, and you've been a member way longer than the typical merit source applicant so you'll definitely be a good judge of which posts are good and which are typical mediocre shitposting fare.  You got my support, brother.
Thank you Pharma Grin Hope to fullfill this role and get it done in the best possible way.
112  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: If you can't afford to pay for electricity don't do mining on: June 01, 2024, 11:59:21 AM
I can write to you about Russia very easily. Energy workers have already learned to quickly find illegal miners. Equipment using free electricity will pay for itself in 6-8 months, but energy workers will find a mining farm earlier, in 3-4 months. This is minus 50% of the deposit. If the police catch the miner, then it's bankruptcy.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Indeed it is outright dangerous to mine in countries like that, the risk is not worth taking.

But since everyone wants to jump into the bitcoin bandwagon the better and safer method is to buy bitcoin at the lower end of the cycle and hold that for the long term.

It is not that buying and running ASICs is a chore on its own, but it has become this dangerous because of less availability of cheap electricity.
113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A list of lucky casinos in crypto on: May 31, 2024, 04:18:58 PM
I would refrain from making such a list, because lucky is not something you become at a casino, even though most people like to think like that, rather they are more likely to get unlucky and lose money.

The casinos might want that, for marketing though because advertising themselves as "lucky" for the players means more people who are blinded by their greed will jump into that casino rather than any other like pigs to a slaughterhouse.

Hence I would treat such a list with a lot of skepticism.
114  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: If you can't afford to pay for electricity don't do mining on: May 31, 2024, 04:14:15 PM
Yeah but illegal mining operations are not new and every few weeks we see a new thread here demonstrating the mishaps that have happened in different mining centers, illegal of course. I remember a thread on Russian miners which caught fire but luckily no one got hurt. In the similar manner, if someone gets caught, then legal action would be taken.

It is better to be safer than sorry in this case. You should not steal from the grid, you will be punished. Your friend if still not caught should stop doing this and sell their ASICs.
115  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Is bitcoin mining just completely not profitable for retail? on: May 31, 2024, 04:09:51 PM
No, mining is different from buying BTC and profitability depends on their electricity rate if you don't have a cheap power rate and don't have technical skills then stop planning on mining because it won't be worth mining in the long term.
Exactly, most people are not having it first hand unless they learn about it. It makes much more sense to buy bitcoin which only takes a few clicks and a lot of fiat money from the buyer's side while mining is a chore on its own. Not to mention that with warmer countries, heating is an issue and electricity is not cheap.

Quote
If you just buy BTC and hold at the current price it doesn't generate a profit what if the price keeps declinin it stays at the current price for almost a year or 2?
Buying BTC does not necessarily mean just sitting on it. Some people will actively trade. Some will sell at the long term. All this depends on the buying price. But the amount of attention that it needs is much less than having to run a farm of miners.

Good to see your reply..

Btw, is there any new faucets you launched? i see 4 more sites with your same website script & template for earning BNB, TRX & ETH.

Can you please confirm this?
I am not an official spokesperson, but as far as my knowledge goes, previously they operated freedoge, but they shut it down to focus only on freebitco.in and at present this is the one and only site they manage.

Any other faucet that might be using a similar looking template or script, is not affiliated with them and your should exercise due caution when dealing with them.

I added a balance to my account, it was approved but it was not transferred to the system, for example, it has received 2 confirmations now
Give it some time, try refreshing the browser as well. Check the transactions list under the "Stats>Personal" page.
117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it proper for one to trade Bitcoin through a trusted friend ? on: May 30, 2024, 02:58:17 PM
Haven't nurturing this idea of trading a Bitcoin in the near future,but one question that's always come as a concern to me is. Is proper for me to trust a friend of that high magnitude ?
No No, you dont trust someone to trade your bitcoin with, at least I would not recommend doing it, even if that person is a very close friend or family. Unless they are your parents or your next of kin, even then it is tough to trust someone in this sphere.

You should learn trading on your own and there are immense number of articles and videos to demonstrate the same. This forum is also very helpful if you need to clarify specifics.

Anyone who has access to your wallet private key can spend your coins, please be wary of that. Secure your wallets and never store the coins on exchange wallets.
118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Religion. Beliefs or Choices? on: May 30, 2024, 02:53:08 PM
Religions want people to follow a clean path to life. This comes from the religious leaders observations of the ones who perform vices having a bad impact on the lives of their families and themselves.

However in this 21st century, these beliefs should be filtered and the gist should be understood by the public - which stands in this that gambling should be moderated or stopped, otherwise it becomes and addiction and leads to ruin.

Of course this is for their own good, but the choice is their own.
119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who's winning more casinos or gamblers? on: May 30, 2024, 02:47:58 PM
It will always be the casino. The house always wins, and that won't change even in the near future. Even if someone wins, the house still makes a profit from other players. So, basically, that covers their losses on someone. Even if the house loses today or even for a week, but wins for the rest of the month, they still make a profit. It's a very profitable busines.
You can also explain this is another way, the number of jackpots a gambler wins, if compared to the total losses that same player has, you will realize that the cumulative loss is bigger than the jackpot, making the casino the net winner. We think that winning the jackpot means the casino was "beaten" or "defeated" but this is totally not the case and the casinos love making this a news of the day printing it on every newspaper only to raise the false image in the minds of potential gamblers that casinos can be beaten.

It is a nice method of marketing that they have and I love it, because investing in casinos is hence very profitable. Cheesy
120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does the game of luck in gambling really works? on: May 30, 2024, 02:44:14 PM
With regards to your first paragraph question, I personally believe that luck works in gambling and how it works is what I really can’t explain but I know it works and I don’t think a casino has to favour you because they have no hand in one’s winning or losing and that’s why it is always claimed to be provably fair which simply means that, it is fair and not ought to be bais, hence the lucks comes from the individual gambling.
Luck is applicable in every aspect of life, be it gambling or not gambling, hence there is no need to define it or clarify it. It is always there like an omnipresent thing, making changes to your effort for the good or bad. Hence we should not depend on luck but on things that we can control like working hard for a living and living a quiet monk like life.

The more you take a risk the more chances the luck factor comes in to haggle it and the risk increases. These are things we cannot control and thus gambling is never a stable income. Even in an EV+ game, some luck factor is always there.
