Well, if you asking this in terms of the Bitcoin market.... then there are loads of potential profitable opportunities. This technology are still relatively new and people are still finding very innovative applications for Bitcoin in the market.

You can only look at the limitless opportunities in the decentralized payment options to see what can be done to improve it. Bitcoin can change a lot of industries, if it is allowed as legal tender, but governments are blocking it by defining it as a commodity. 

The definition of Peer pressure is a feeling that one must do the same things as other people of one's age and social group in order to be liked or respected by them.

So you are saying that most people are gambling, because they want to get acceptance from the people around them. If that was true, then people would have been doing despicable things in certain poverty stricken countries.

We always have the option to choose what we want to do in life, no matter what the circumstances. 

You see the best example of this, when you look at the way that Slots are designed. It will allow you to constantly win small amounts in the form of free spins. 

So your body (brain) release small amounts of endorphins that makes you feel good.. and you get addicted to those endorphins. This is where the addiction sets in... because you get addicted to those endorphins... not the actions of gambling it self. 

A lot of people do not see the same level of anonymity that "cash" gives to criminals ..than what Bitcoin gives to people. This is why there are a global shift to eliminate "cash" and to replace it with centralized digital technologies.

The governments of the world hate any technology that can reduce their control.... they need to know everything about people's finances. They need to know everything about your finances, because it pays their salaries with the taxes you have to pay to them. 

I think it is totally irresponsible to promote performance enhancing drugs. I have seen what this does to young people and it is devastating for the people who use this. I love school rugby and some children use performance enhancing drugs at a very young age to boost them to be better than other kids. (Everyone wants to play for the A-team)

Now the problem with this is the fact that these "drug" kids are much stronger and bigger than the other kids in their own age class. There has been instances where other "normal" kids got serious neck injuries, after being tackled by the "steroid" kids.

These steroids also increase aggression and it only takes something small to trigger a massive outburst and fights on and off the field. So, if they do this professionally in an Olympic Games, then kids will accept it as the norm. 

Well, I just want to say... Happy 6th birthday to Stake.com and thank you to all the people that are working behind the scenes to keep it going. I have been with Stake.com from the start, so I am amazed by the incredible growth that it has seen over 6 years. 

Also thank you for the early Monthly bonus, because I really needed the boost. I hope you have several more birthdays in the future and I hope you will grow even faster in the years to come. 

I have created a seed phrase for Electrum on "Tails" (Linux) and then imported those word phrases into Electrum for Windows before, but I have not done this for a Mac. I presume that the word phrases are not unique to any specific operating system, so you can import it into any Electrum wallet, no matter what OS you are using.

Ps : Do not use "Tails" without a Persistent volume, because you will lose it. It comes with a default Electrum wallet installed, but it is mostly outdated. 

Why do you willingly want to dox yourself, by bitcoins being send to an IP Address that are linked to you? The whole idea behind pseudo anonymity is for you not to reveal your personal information.

You also open yourself up to a "Man-in-the-middle" attack, where a hacker can intercept the transaction with a spoofed or duplicate address and then you lose those coins. 

I have been where you were MANY times, with projects that I took on and then it failed. I had to start right from the bottom with several mistakes and it just made me stronger.

I learnt from my mistakes and I just worked harder to try the next project. Bitcoin is one of my biggest success stories and I am very happy that I stuck with it, until I made 800% profit. I sold expensive vacuum cleaners and participated in failed Ponzi schemes, so I know what you are going through..... just pick yourself up, work even harder... do more research and the success will come. 

You need to look closely into the "jump start" phase of most of these NO KYC casinos that are entering the gambling scene. They will enter the market with big promises of "NO KYC" requirements, but as soon as they reach their target for users, they forget those promises and they start asking for KYC verification.

They know it will eventually happen, when they grow big enough to attract the attention of the regulators, but they still use that tactic. Just go back to all the "BIG" Crypto currency casinos that started out with "NO KYC" requirements and see where they are now. (Freebitco.in being one of them)  

I am one of those gamblers that are doing it for fun, because I believe only a very small percentage of people EVER profit from gambling. Yes, there are some professional Poker players and people betting professionally on Sports, that might be making some good money... but most of the other people lose lots of money.

I started out dreaming of the huge Jackpot or the max wins that I might be getting and quickly realized that say 1% of people get that opportunity... the rest of the people are funding those wins. 

I know some "brick n mortar" or land-based casinos like you called it, created online casinos during the Covid period. There was quite a few of them that popped up during that time and some of them even implemented Crypto currency deposits.

The operating cost of "brick n mortar" casinos are much higher than online casinos and people got a taste of the convenience of online gambling, so the demand shifted to a virtual experience and not physical casinos. 

You should actually change the Subject of your thread to "The most worth watching Bitcoin documentary" ...because you mostly listed documentaries in your thread. 

My favorite is ... "Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It" - because it came at a perfect time, when Bitcoin were stagnating. The movies mostly concentrate on the negative side of the Bitcoin use case, where it is associated with money laundering / hackers and crime. 

I think there are no "real" choice here..... How can you accept the 1000x price increase and then the government can raid it and you are stuck with zero coins. 

The real value of Bitcoin is in the financial freedom that it offers you.... not the 1000x price increase that you get from mass adoption. It will be nice to have both, but governments will do anything in their power to prevent that. 

How can we believe that you are successful in what you are doing, if you cannot even spell "economy" and "because"?

In any way ... jokes aside.. Europe are just one part of the global economy and you are too focused on that. We are seeing an economic shift from the rich western countries and Europe to the East.

Let's hear what you think about the rest of the world.  

In my country .. "gambling" are the cow that are milked for "bribes" / "kickbacks" and corruption. The casinos have to pay to get operating licenses from the government and these government officials are milking them to award it. 

They also dictate what companies gets the tenders for the projects that are funded by these casinos and it is usually friends and families of these officials. 

Is it just me ... or are the "errors" on claiming the bonus drops getting worse? Normally I can claim the drops after about 10 tries.... but in this last "Eddie" stream.... I kept on claiming and it went on until it says "Bonus unavailable" 

Also... How do we know that the amount of "claims" are correctly entered by Steve? Eddie might roll say 4500 claims and Steve might only configure say 2000 claims. (Now I am not saying he is doing this, I am saying "how" can this be verified?)

It is one thing to steal loads of coins and thinking that you can hide forever, but Jimmy Zhong found this out the hard way. The illegal gains will give you joy for a little while, until the hand of the law catch up to you.

I work hard to earn my "coins" and I can sleep like a baby.... but people like Jimmy Zhong sleep with one eye open. He constantly worried about the law catching up to him.... and it eventually happened. 

His father gave him a double inheritance...

1. The monetary value of the coins - I do not know how many coins he gave him, but you said "coins" so I assume that it is a lot.

2. Knowledge is power - He forced him to expand his knowledge and I bet you he is better off by gaining this knowledge.

Good job, turning this guy from making a huge mistake.... and guiding him to a bright future.  

You know.. the devil is in the details.

You can spend all your money on hookers and hookups and not invest in Bitcoin OR you can invest in Bitcoin and then wait for your investment to pay off and then spend your profit on hookers and hookups. 

We have the freedom to choose how we spend our money.... but then we have to live with the consequences. I know people who lived their live to the fullest, but they saved nothing for their retirement... now they are living in poverty with the memories of their full lives. 

I also know people who saved almost all their money and invested most of their income and died prematurely at 40 years of age.... having no joy from the money that they hoarded all those years.
