True! KYC is the key, but there are many gamblers or users of the website with KYC don't want to undergo KYC as they concern about their information without knowing that KYC serves as their security and the casino's compliance to the law, you see as you said KYC is implemented to avoid money laundering to track the doer if they did something like illicit activities including money laundering, crypto casino gambling sites are being subject to be used by those who has illicit activities, so this should be a lesson for everyone that no matter what your concern is comply in KYC first because some or mostly crypto casino do requires KYC first before you can withdraw your money, to avoid locking of funds. Also, you will comply with KYC if you know you will not be doing anything; otherwise, you will have a problem withdrawing your funds from the platform.

I agree, but still, there are casino games that require skills so that you can increase your chance to win. Casino games in crypto are based mostly on luck, but some gambling games require skills so you can play efficiently. For example, in casino card games, how can you raise your chances of winning if you don't know how to play? Or don't know how to outsmart your opponents, so even though gambling is based on luck on a large portion, some games do still need some skills to play and to raise the chances of winning. Other than luck, of course, some games with no strategy, like in slot games, have a large portion of probability, so having enough luck to have the probability to win is a must. So gambling in crypto is more based on luck, but some do require probability, luck, and skill. Anyway, a crypto gambling casino is mostly more profitable than using a fiat.

But, of course, I hope the OP doesn't overdo it. We can't push the knowledge or interest of bitcoin at such an age just because we want them to know it, but of course they are in their stage wherein they tend to explore and be curious, so it may be a good time to introduce or influence them in bitcoin, but we can't push them to take an interest in that; they have their own free will, so even if we introduce and influence them, don't expect that they will be interested immediately or adopt bitcoin. But the OP's intention is good because if he is committed, then if his cousin shows interest in bitcoin, then I know he will guide them as he is the influencer. But the thing is, I know it is hard to find a store or book store where you can find a comic about bitcoin. Maybe on the internet you can search, or if you searched for a print copy, then maybe you can print it yourself.

Well in our country too, we have something like that, keeping the same number they bet because they believe that someday they will hit the jackpot, its called caring for the numbers, I bet in lotto a few times and yes I also have numbers that I don't change but I don't have a hope on winning just betting for fun or just simply betting, we all have different kinds of belief in lotto I'm sure of that anyways all are the same or the same aiming to win a jackpot, we can't intervene in someone's belief as they like that and we can also accept them, In my country beliefs in lotto are still popular.

Slightly true. Of course, there are still normal wallets in app stores that are indeed legitimate wallets or applications, but the thing is, we can't be sure if their security is super safe or not. Some wallets are targets by malicious hackers because they know that they can hit a jackpot of a wallet that has weak security, which is a chance that they are looking and targeting, so it's still better to find a trusted, reliable, and strong security, not just any wallet, and match it with a security done by a user, which is guaranteed to be safer storage of assets. So it's reliable to look for reviews and ratings before choosing a wallet, and also search first for their legitimacy and security level to ensure the safety of the assets. 

True! But what I think is that both addictions are not good. I don't know why the OP thinks drug addicts are much better than gambling addicts, but the truth is that they are both the worst. Are you serious about the fact that most crime-doers are under the influence of drugs? Ok, let's say they spend less money than gambling addicts, but drug addicts can commit crimes because they are not in the right minds. In short, both addictions don't have any good things in them; you can't compare them because they are both the worst. That's why there is a word "addiction" in drugs and gambling; it means it will not do anything good to you. I don't know why the OP thinks of that, but I don't want to judge, just give an honest opinion, because I have seen many news stories and witnessed many things that are caused by drug addicts. It can ruin a person's life, just like gambling addicts. This is not about the money they spend; it is all about what they do to themselves and to the people around them.

True, although bitcoin is too risky due to its high volatility, it serves as an opportunity for other traders that really understand how bitcoin works or for those traders who know how to analyse the market, and it can only be attained with extensive training and knowledge and with a lot of patience and effort. Yes,  bitcoin may not be a quick rich investment or a shortcut to wealth, but it can give you opportunity and some profits depending on how the investor does it. We can see a lot of complaints about losing a lot of money in bitcoin just because they got hyped and entered into something that they didn't have any idea about, hoping to earn a lot. If you can't take the risk and accept the losses, then an investor like that doesn't deserve the rewards from taking the risks, life is all about risk and if you can't take it then don't do it especially in crypto curren y or bitcoin.

True, anyone has the right to treat gambling as a profession, as we don't hold their lives, but the thing is, will they be successful in it or will they make their lives worse? You see, gambling is a game of wits, probability, and luck. Even if you are smart and have a skill in a game, you will never win if you don't have luck and you are not in the probability of winning. For anyone who's dreaming of making money in gambling and being a professional, we can't stop them. The only thing we can do is give them advice and warning on what path they will take because gambling will only give you two paths: the path to wealth and the path to poverty. For me, I don't recommend gambling as a profession. No, not all have a shot at it. Just treat gambling as a plaything; play whenever you have extra money. Who knows, you may hit a jackpot someday, but don't hope.

Yes, you do have a point, but the thing is, if for him Google Drive is safe and he doesn't encounter any problems, then so be it. The safety of his property will depend on the owner, so we can't dictate it. Even if we want to advise other people about what is safe or not, the call will be with the owner. We have different ways of storing our seed phrase; it depends on what they know is safe or what they only know. What the real problem is is that even if the owner of the accounts keeps their accounts, seed phrase, or any kind of password, if the owner makes a little mistake and the hackers or malicious malware get into it, then it will be a problem. There's nothing safe on the internet. Remember that, as long as we are connected to the internet, we have no privacy or what. The safety will depend on the owner itself.

And also because many people like sports and it's one of their hobbies, sports betting is very popular in all of the country, even not in online sports betting or apps with sports betting. Even in the early times, sports were being used for gambling or betting. It's like a norm if there is a sports happening, like, for example, in the local areas, if there is a basketball league, betting will always be present. So it's like betting doesn't involve money but fun, entertainment, and the thrill of watching a match and rooting for the team you are rooting for.

and mostly big-sports league betting is inevitable. We can see that it is really popular. For example, in this forum, there are many threads that talk about speculations about certain sports like football, cricket, basketball, and many more, so sports betting will really become so popular around the world.

I'm not against AI; in fact, I'm in the technology side of my job and really love technology, including AI, but I don't think in this day and age you can rely on AI. Why? simply because what the AI is predicting is sports, and who is involved in sports? human of course, how can an AI predict the outcome of the game if there are uncertain things that might happen during the game? Maybe the AI will predict based on the stats of the players or team, but it is not enough to predict outcome because, as I said, AI can't predict what humans will do next, what's their plan at that moment, or what moves they will make next. As stated by the OP, the chances to win are 3 out of 10, which is a very low chance. The 3 chances maybe are just a coincidence or what? Even though I'm into AI and technologies, it is still not valid to rely on AI for prediction in gambling or betting. Maybe in some times, there is a possibility.

I agree with you that introducing bitcoin, or the word bitcoin, or maybe the concept of bitcoin, to a younger generation is a good idea because, who knows, someone might take an interest and start investing or deep diving in bitcoin. But I think we also need to introduce bitcoin to more mature minds, maybe in the high school stage, because that's when young people are more curious, and some young people tend to become early adopters of something. And with the advancements and many ways of accessing and reaching people these days, we can think of many ways to educate or influence others about bitcoin. Like you've said, most commonly, social media is powerful in this generation, so maybe we can spread the idea of bitcoin or crypto currency itself to many more people around the world. Yes,  bitcoin is quite powerful and popular, but I think providing knowledge and more information is also very helpful.

Well, if this story is true, then you are very lucky. I guess I've heard a lot of stories similar to this, mainly because in the past, bitcoin had its value but not enough for people to take it seriously, so people tend to horde bitcoin but leave it there until they forget the account or the password to the account, and eventually, after some years, they will remember that they have bitcoin that they accumulated in the past. If this story is true, then you are one of the lucky ones that still have access to your sleeping bitcoins. It's good to see such stories, and I envy them as I started late in bitcoin, but what's important is how you will make yourself earn bitcoin nowadays. But if I did invest in bitcoin in the past I don't think I will have this kind of story like in OP, because from hte start I really manage all my access to any of my accounts.

True, I like how the video gives the message that only people that can really have comprehension will understand what the message of the video implies. It's really true that although gambling is subject to fun and entertainment, there's a high percentage that gamblers often become tooabsorbed in gambling, which will lead to their problem of addiction. Yes,  in gambling you could earn; there's a possibility there, but the thing is, there is no guarantee about it; only lucky people can have it. I'm not even sure how many times we said to the gamblers to stop being addicted or prevent building up addiction to gambling; they will never wake up until they reach the point where there is no turning back. The other one said, "Only the person with strong will" will overcome himself and control himself from bad things like gambling addiction. I hope many gamblers could watched the video so they can have a hint and idea what will happen if they don't stop.

Of course, just for exposure, we will never know if they are stating a fact about selling a property or if a friend is selling a property just to invest in bitcoin. We will notice that most of the accounts are newbies, so it could be a way for them to attract attention to boost their account. We know how the forum works, so you know what I'm saying, yet we entertain the topic because it is what it is. The concept of selling property just to invest in bitcoin is a big no, especially if you know yourself and don't know anything about bitcoin. Don't be carried away by the hype. Investing in bitcoin will be rewarding but will never be easy. Because if an investor who has the capital from the sold property goes wrong, there's no turning back, and there will be a big regret for that person.

But we have a saying that, without a risk theres no gain, it maybe true but the weight of this risk is too much as his friend will sell a property make an investment it is good yes because looks like his friend is very dedicated to earn and invest in crypto or bitcoin but the thing is the risk of his investment, we always says that invest only the money you can afford to lose but OP's friend got his capital from a proper which if instances the investment didn't do well then they can't get back the property and also it will be a big regret for him and his family as the family doesn't agree at the first place, The OP is right about the statement that, don't let anyone dictate of what his friend gonna do, but I think the OP considers the weight of the risk his friend carrying.

Even if online casinos are prominent on the internet, I'm sure physical casinos will never be gone, as many people refer to playing in real time and socialising, and one of the loyal customers of those casinos are the wealthy people or rich people that much prefer to play with other gamblers; it's some kind of flexing their wealth, and in those old casinos, I'm sure in those areas people didn't stop patronising the casinos as proven that they still exist, proving that physical casinos are still strong. Even in modern casinos, there are still a lot of them because gambling will never get old or go to the limelight, as gambling is part of humans; they seek entertainment and money involved. yes there are many customers also in online casinos but its more popular for the youths. I would also love it if I could visit a local casino, but I still don't have the wealth to play and compete there, so I will still play using online casinos.

But how about those people who accidentally wear clothes that have either a bitcoin logo or anything related to bitcoin? I don't have a sample, but I once encountered a person that wore a t-shirt with the printed "Bitcoin" and the "B" designed as the logo of bitcoin, and from the looks of it, he looks like a person who doesn't have any idea about bitcoin, so out of curiosity, I asked the person where he brought the t-shirt and said that it was from their local clothes store, and I asked him again if he knew about the print, and he said no. So basically, there are clothes stores that have this kind of design but don't know its meaning. But in the case of the OP, he intentionally wore the t-shirt, maybe to show off or because he doesn't have anything to wear, so expect that many people will be curious about him doing crypto currency stuff, as the bitcoin logo these days is very popular. They know about bitcoin, but they don't know the indebtedness of it.

It sounds like you didn't read the whole context of the OP. It says that the photo he sees on social media is supposed to be a joke, meaning the content of the picture is edited to be meant for a joke or for fun, so it is not real. But I do agree with you. I don't think any casino sites will have the guts to make this kind of bet. We are talking about war, and war is not something that we will make money off of as it will affect other countries and the economy. For the editor of the picture, I do hope he gets the attention he wants, and I hope that he will be punished for what he has created. This can also be alarming, as it may cause more trouble if the country in the photo sees it. This could become a mockery that could lead to a worse situation.

That's when monitoring is a must. I mean, as a responsible gambler, I think it is important to monitor or record every game or bet you make, the expense, and the win or loss. Many gamblers play only without worrying about their balance until they see it when it reaches zero balances, which will make them eager to recover the loss, and that's when what the OP says about how many gamblers ended up being led to their addiction. So it is very important to be wary and responsible about your account balance before engaging in gambling, because without awareness of your balance or ignoring it, it will make your fun into misery and far worse.

That's why gamblers, or those who want to try gambling out of curiosity and to have fun, should first practice self-control and money management to become aware of their expenses and to limit themselves if needed.
