Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?
I do not think that business and socializing can be summed up in the same meaning, but they are intertwined and inseparable. If you look at the fact that socializing and trading are basically the same thing - selling (advertising) or buying (asking) something we need in our life. Usually socializing costs us only time. However, in some cases it can cost money. Businesses are extremely social, because they have to be. Otherwise they fall into disregard and eventually just dry out. You cannot earn any money without socializing. That is why many people say the customer is king. |

Is there any decentralized currency that has ever become a global reserve currency? That's not possible, I want to stick to the fact that Bitcoin is a good store of value and it's decentralized, that's why it's fit to be a digital gold instead of a global reserve currency.
I don't keep money anywhere else than in my Bitcoin wallet, I have another source of income that I use for living, and that's where I end up spending fiat currency, if there is a way I can buy everything I want with Bitcoin, fiat currency will seize to exists in my world.
You say it is not possible even though you contradict yourself with your first statement about how there has never been a decentralized currency which has been a global reserve currency. Furthermore, I would add that there has never been decentralized currency before Bitcoin. So I am not sure as to what you are referring to in your example. I want to see fiat currency cease to exist in everyone's world. That would be the dream, would it not? No more corruptable money, no more intransparent dealings, no more regulated and controllable currency? Bitcoin will definitely overcome fiat and prove itself as number 1. That is a question of when not if. |

It's really a shame, this is really one of those sad stories that really tell the dark side of sports betting and gambling in general, I could not help it, but had tears rolling down my cheek while reading this story.. Another future father, a future millionaire maybe, young 22 year old boy with a promising future lost to suicide after losing his school fees, and that of his friend to sport betting due to gambling addiction.. We are in the 21st century, until when before people realize that suicide does not put an end to problem, but rather create more for those living?? This is really a sad story though, ya all can read it on https://punchng.com/how-ogun-student-committed-suicide-after-losing-school-fees-to-sports-betting/?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=socialI hope we all as gamblers learn a thing or two from this, and go back and look at our gambling life and see if there is a thing or two that needs to be adjusted.. I pray non of us, and any of our relative shall ever be a victim of such a sad story 😢😢. That is indeed a sad story and it is unfortunate that that boy chose to take his own life over money. This just goes to show how psychologically powerful money can be, in the hands of different people. I doubt most of us would ever think of doing something so dark and rash, because of a debt. The news article also says that the deceased was heir to some throne of a town in Osun State? I wonder if the problem was really about gambling addiction/money troubles or something deeper. We may never know. But I think that gambling should be done responsibly and with a lot of self-discipline. We are only human and sometimes our emotions get the best of us. One can never be too careful. |

I've had my LB account for almost a year and used this casino many times without issue.
Today I deposited some funds, played a few games and began to lose so I tried to make a withdrawal.
I guess they didn't like that for some reason and flagged the withdrawal.
They gave me mixed reasons as to why from random checks to accessing the site from a restricted area which isn't true because if the IP is blocked the site will not even load.
Anyways, they are demanding kyc and I refuse so they will close my account
Never had this issue at any casino. Even ones I've logged onto from restricted areas, including LB.
They refuse to complete my withdrawal so all funds are lost.
I think they're just mad I tried to withdraw to another casino so quickly and have stolen my funds.
Just a heads up, lucky block is not safe.
I cannot say the reason why you account was flagged and on what grounds and with what evidence, however it does seem to me that your refusal to do KYC is the main reason why they decided to close your account. However as far as I know they do have to give you your deposited funds back, even if you refuse to do KYC. But you would have to consult somebody who understands the law in gambling in the respectable country of their regulation. It does seem that you break the TOS of pretty much any casino site you are on, by your own admission, so that might be a problem. |

1. Odds transparency Traditional online casinos claim they run games via a random number generator. But how random is the number generator? It’s a legitimate question. What a traditional casino says it does and what it does could be two different things. Bitcoin casinos operate via transparency. You know true odds when you wager in a Bitcoin casino. If you’re a sports bettor, you understand that knowing the odds is the first part of making smart bets. You won’t always make winning bets, but you will make smart bets, which is the only thing we can do when betting. In the long run, the more smart bets we make, the more we profit. 2. Safety and security It would take 51% of all nodes to steal a transaction. By 51%, we mean thousands of computers would have to decide to steal the same transaction. It’s almost an impossibility. We can’t write impossible because nothing is 100% impossible. But the amount of work it would take to steal your Bitcoin casino deposit is as close to impossible as it gets. The real reason? Proof of work rewards Bitcoin miners to create blocks, which means the rewards of validating and securing transactions is more than the reward from stealing almost all BTC transactions. 3. Game variety Variety of games is a sign of an honest casino. The more games there are, the more ways players can win. If a casino offers fewer games, there’s a chance those games could be more prone to shady tactics that lead to losses. Also, it’s easier to manage payouts when there are fewer games. Traditional casinos that offer fewer games may be fudging the amount they pay out on each win. Bitcoin casinos often provide more games. Not only that, but the payouts are also often higher due to Bitcoin’s transparency and decentralized aspects. Full article here: https://n2g.io/5794fc1I also do not believe that random number generators are truly random. At some point, the sequences, algorithms and formulas can be found out by skilled reverse engineers. But what if the casino is hacked or exit-scams? If your Bitcoin is on a casino wallet with third party access, you cannot be sure of safety, can you? So I am not sure about point 2 but I agree with your opinion of Bitcoin transactions being transparent is a good thing. I think we are headed towards a Bitcoin world that will sooner or later create a more fair gambling experience. However it seems to me that web2 casinos need to boost their casino technology before we get to that point. |

Yeah.. you could be right..
At the same time, I am not really worried that you (goldkingcoiner) are not sufficiently/adequately prepared for UP (even while you are seemingly preparing for the possibility of down)...
Some of us have been in this space long enough that it is relatively clear that we have figured out a variety of ways to prepare for both up and down at the same time, no matter how cognitively dissonant that might sound to the gamblers who like to bet bigger than they should (such as 80x.... just using that as a reference).
Since you likely already realize that the lillie fiend market does not always go down on "bad news" merely because a lot of folks (even if the overwhelming majority) are speculating that it will go down.
Good point. But, I am gambling virtual profits from buying later instead of now. Sure, Bitcoin could go up. I would lose out on a bit of coin. But past history has show that during corrections, FUD has an amplifying effect on the price dip. This is just short term speculation. Worst case scenario, price goes up instead of going down. I stop limit at 1/3rd of the Binance FUD candle. Still not bad. Either way I make more coins from the FUD because the Bitcoin is undervalued by pure speculation (how long does that last?). Thats how I see it, at least... Who would ever go 80x, I wonder?  |

I've been waiting for Binance to be targeted as soon as the FTX situation blew up and regulators realized that Binance did the exact same thing as FTX, but they were able to survive a cycle doing so and became insanely wealthy as a result. Looks like now that regulators have caught on, they are going to be looking to take a piece of flesh from CZ. This is in no way a positive development for Bitcoin in the short term, and we're already seeing the start of the pain, but long term I think if we want to see Bitcoin hit the high 6 figures, it is absolutely necessary to weed out the bad actors in the space, and Binance is just FTX with a first mover advantage.
Who is a good actor among exchanges? Some say that they are, but they got NO volume, like Gemini. Congress needs to pass some laws pronto or, else, american exchanges can be shut down and US would lose whatever they did not lose yet (in this space). Every exchange is a good actor waiting to become a bad actor. No matter how trustworthy, the problem lies with the fact that you still have to trust them. This goes against what Bitcoin stands for. |

Honestly, I doubt this is real. Maybe it is just a prank. When you click on the article, it sends you to an different article which has nothing to do with the European Sex Championship. I do not think that there is any merit in introducing something like sex into sports. Especially in combination with gambling. What kind of a signal does that send to the younger generations? But if it is real: I would bet on myself. But first I need to know how to enter this sport and I pledge that I will take this new sport very seriously.  Seriously though, I never thought the day would cum that we could bet on porn. But now that I think about it, there are various ways to bet on porn. Who can make the partner orgasm first or who can go longer. The future is so exciting  Also, OP, why does your url end with ".cms"? |

OP, I am glad and disappointed that you both won 90k and lost it. As far as gambling goes, I think it suffices to say that you managed to entertain everyone here with your lack of planning and risk-management skills. If you ever make winnings, be sure to take some of that money and put it in the "do not touch" pile. You could have at least secured half your winnings. All in bets are never worth it. I hope you have learned something from your mistake. For everyone else, I guess this thread serves as a decent learning moment. |

I'm sorry, I just had to laugh at this pic and sorry for quoting it and taking up space. That clock-staring cat could have been me over the years. I don't know how many times I've posted "bitcoin will take 25 years to get to $X, and if it does we'll probably be in a zombie apocalypse". And then way, waaaay before I knew it bitcoin would surge past $X and then higher and higher to new dollar amounts that I'd never have predicted. Thinking back on what could have been makes my skin crawl. What the hell is this thread about? I only stumbled upon it doing post reviews. Lol. This is the heart of Bitcointalk. We come here to shitpost while hodling our coins. It helps (as a distraction). Welcome! Damn it. Something's happening in WO... Too quiet. No heated debates, no rusty pipes, no Batslaps, no Dude's resto/pissing pics, no proudhon posts, r0ach probably died or abandoned us, nullius fell in love with a Greek goddess and won't post anymore, Elwar's seastead sank and he abandoned ship... Hell, not even a post about Bob's ranch or Jimbo's lake projects. Have we really stooped so low?
Price drives everything it seems... Come on, Bitcoin, do something (like a mega-pump to ATH+)... We need some Carolinas and Choo-Choos to get things going!
Edit: No more lasers for me. Laser hat gets worn again when we reach 6 digits.
Its reported JayjuanGee keyboard its broken, so he cant make his walltext. Only important "new" on this day was the Tether project to build a bitcoin mining farm on Uruguay with renewables energy. Note of thatHe has evolved beyond the need for keyboard input. Do not underestimate him. Also, in regards to important news, Binance is being bent over by the SEC. This would explain the panic dump of 5%. Or as I like to call it, the fire sale. source: https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/06/05/sec-sues-crypto-exchange-binance-ceo-changpeng-zhao/Binance is already being sued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as well. |

Teaching children on bitcoin is like the latest threads in the forum. It is good to tell our children about bitcoin in their tender ages but destiny is not something you force someone to achieve. Just like the general saying that "You can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink the water". That's, it is good to tell your children about bitcoin but you cannot force him or her to learn bitcoin if it is not in the mind of the child and if that is not the child's calling in life.
Just like another instant again, it is a Ghanaian Play called "Sons and Daughters by Joe De Graft". The father wanted his daughter to study law while the some for medicine but the boy wanted to study Fine and Applied Arts while the girl wanted to study Theatre Arts but the father refused. There was a day the boy's friend drew Ghanaian President and the picture was bought with a very big amounts of money which was about millions and it was broadcasted on National TV and Radio Stations and the father heard about the news and he called his children and advised them to study what they like.
I think that play is a very big lesson to everyone in the contemporary world. So if your children are not interested to learn bitcoin please don't force them. Everyone has their own destiny.
I too have been seeing such unlikeable threads being created all over the board recently. Why would anyone want to push propaganda towards children? Its not like they have money to invest into Bitcoin with. The ones who should be learning about Bitcoin are the young adults and obviously, the parents. The children will learn about it sooner or later, but just as I said in the other thread, I think the best thing the parents can do is buy some BTC for their children, so when they grow up they will have something to work with. And judging by how the Bitcoin adoption has been going, I would say the children will have a small fortune... |

I am sharing a real story. Last 31st I went to my cousin's wedding. The area where I want to host the wedding is like a village where I don't have good mobile network, so it won't be wrong to call such an area as a remote area. After eating and drinking, me and one of my cousins went out for a walk and saw three boys drawing something in the mud. I approached them with interest and watched them make the Bitcoin logo in the mud and compete to see who could make the logo more beautiful. So I asked about this logo and one boy said that his parents have this bitcoin and his father taught him to draw this logo and he taught his friends. I was very happy to hear this from the boy because in such a village where there is no good mobile network people are involved with Bitcoin.
In this case of the boy, I remembered one thing that the children will be developed in the same way as the parents raise their children from childhood. The boy's father may want to expose his son to Bitcoin from an early age.
That is an interesting story but as to the question of the effect that Bitcoin has on children, I would say the same effect as with regular money. I doubt many kids will be able to understand how Bitcoin works and even if they did, their parents would have to give them money. Unless they are old enough to work and earn their own money. Adolescents should learn about Bitcoin though. They need to be prepared for the future. Although they should be supervised so they do not accidently lose all their money. What parents could do is buy Bitcoin on their children's behalf and leave them with a fortune. You would even enjoy much of the fortune yourself, while they are growing up and Bitcoin goes up and up. Win win. |

I have been on bc.game since a couple of years.
I have a successful affiliate campaign on there with over 40k+ commission made. But recently they decreased my affiliate percentage from 35% to 9.8% without any prior discussion or intimation.
I offer 10% to my referrals on their wager as a bonus to encourage them to use my link. Now that my affiliate % has been cut down to under 10% I virtually made 0 money on the last 4 million wagered under me as I still paid my referrals their 10%.
It's insane how BCGame threw me under the bus like this without any discussion with me.
I think this is part of their cost cutting campaign which began with them removing rakeback completely from the site followed by now slashing affiliate percentages. I tried reaching out to BCGame staff in so many ways but to zero success.
I don't know if there's any legal or ethical grounds I can pursue here, but if anyone knows please let me know.
With every dollar being wagered on my referral now, I'm losing money.
You are operating on their terms and conditions. I am sure that you read through it? It's their casino, they can change whatever into whatever they like. You do not have a referral contract with them? Thats your own fault. Although if you are making a lot of money as one of their best referrers, then I am sure they would be happy to negotiate special terms. You should just reach out and ask them yourself, instead of whining about it in the gambling forum. Seriously, what kind of a business man/woman are you? |

I know this is a bit controversial, but some casinos are looking the other way... when people are using VPNs. I know it might be legal in some instances, but you are still taking a risk by using it.
Online gambling is legal in my country, but sometimes I have to travel to a country where it is illegal. I then use a VPN to be able to access the site. This is one of the reasons why some casinos allow people to use VPNs..... but you are still taking a huge risk.
Now, the question is.... Will you still use a VPN, if it is not allowed by the ToS on the site. What will you do if they "block" your account and take your balance?
Well, as far as taking your balance goes, I think they have to return to you all your deposited funds but they can take the winnings back. I am not sure about the laws regarding this situation. But they can definitely freeze your account for breaking their terms and conditions. That is for sure. I would rather not use a VPN, if it is stated to not be allowed in their ToS. I wish to keep my winnings, of course. Why would anyone who lives in a country in which gambling is legal wish to use a VPN in the first place? You already had to give the casino your KYC details, so they know who you are... |

I took note of all the various comments in my recent threads, and many thanks for those. I'm planning my YouTube channel at the moment, and it seems to me that a dedicated Bitcoin channel is not a good idea. I very rarely watch them any more, as they seem to be contradictory, and often over complex, and many of them seem to show a lack of understanding of the purpose and technology behind Bitcoin. There seem to be 3 main categories of Bitcoiners ( apart from undecided newbies of course), and these are speculators, businesses and weath protectors. I don't want to target the speculators, as those are either gamblers or highly technical statisticians. My advice to business users is to embrace Bitcoin as an efficient means of international payment, but they may be advised to sell their Bitcoin receipts to avoid losses as a result of its volatility. My target audience is van dwellers, and others living offgrid, and who are considering Bitcoin as a form of saving and wealth protection.
So, should I accept that Bitcoin has now become an established medium of exchange and savings, and just include videos about it in a general offgrid camper channel? The alternative would be to create a dedicated Bitcoin channel, and thus have to compete with all the established Bitcoin channels. I've also got a problem with the new GA4 Google analytics. Should I include my Bitcoin websites in my Offgrid Camper property, or, again, would it be better to have a financial property for Bitcoin? My preference is to keep things simple, and include bitcoin in the broader social channel in both instances.
I would disagree with you on the Youtube channel. Since you know what the problem areas of current common dedicated Bitcoin channels are, you can find solutions for those problems and implement them on your channel. I think you will find a niche in which the community itself will become a strong marketing tool for your brand. And by the way, you seem to have done your research on this topic quite extensively, so I am sure that your audience would rather watch your channel than the channel of just another so-called speculator, who has no love for such details. After Youtube, you can find a larger audience by other means, such as those you have mentioned. |

Hello, just won some money and they do not wanna to withdraw it for 2days. I made KYC and sent some AML documents what they asked. I think i still in minus on DuelBits, but they just wanna steal my money, clowns. There is no INSTANT withdrawals. No any good support. Just scam. do not ask about amount and etc. i playing a lot on stake&rollbit and they do better service then this "clowns" kindly asking do not play there, better go on rollbit/stake. https://i.imgur.com/Gn2hHiA.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/i7Qgp0J.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/OFInrkz.pngIt sometimes takes them a longer time to review your KYC documents. Personally, I think they are hoping to catch you in violation of the terms and conditions. Or perhaps your account has some suspicious activity, like using a VPN. Anyway, some reviews take longer than other. That does not necessarily mean that the gambling casino is trying to steal from you or trick you somehow. As long as you keep to the terms and conditions of their website, they will have to give you your money back, sooner or later. Lets hope you get your answer soon. |

A few days ago, I saw a KOL with a large number of fans on Twitter. He was recommending a project recommended by many KOLs. As long as he followed his guidelines, he could get more airdrop tokens. As a result, when I clicked on the link, connect When my little fox wallet is signed and confirmed, my assets will be reset to zero. I checked the data on the chain, and in a short period of time, he actually defrauded more than 20,000 US dollars in digital currency, which is terrible.
This is the case during the era of Elon Musk because there is no oversight of scammers to prevent them or legalize their backs. Suppose you see an account for a legit project that you follow. In that case, you will find thousands of fake accounts that impersonate the name of this project’s account and its logo, put the blue check mark, and publish illegal links to similar scam domains for the official project domain. Now, scammers take advantage of any popular trend on Twitter related to a currency or a specific project. They quickly put popular hashtags in their tweets and publish malicious links to trap victims, so Twitter has become a suitable space for scams. Their tweets are promoted in these trends like wildfire. Thousands of people lost their funds because of one mistake: not focusing before opening the link, connecting the main wallet, and giving approval of permissions to their wallet for this scam domain. Trust nobody. If you were to ask me, I would call Elon Musk one of the worst KOL since Steve Jobs. He promotes pump and dump coins like DOGE and as he is invested in DOGE, he is effectively market manipulating at this point, is he not? How can you trust someone like that? What is the probability that his half baked hypes like exploding rockets and electrical cars, which catch fire for no reason. I have never really understood why anyone with a brain would support Elon Musk. All he has been doing on social media is stroking his own giant ego. |

Since ChatGPT was launched in November last year, this AI technology has created a huge response across the globe. This technology has gained so much popularity that people are using this technology in almost every field. Any math can be easily solved through this technology, any unknown matter can be easily known through this technology, so there is a lot of doubt in everyone's mind about this technology that this technology will destroy the job market or not?
When asked about this, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the technology will never destroy the job market. Rather, this technology will solve things that people never know about. Since all tasks can be solved easily through this technology, this bot system may be used instead of humans in various work fields.
If this technology is used in the workplace, many people will lose their jobs.
ChatGPT is a glorified LMGTFY 2.0 toy which will NOT replace anyone or their jobs. You are all safe. People are getting too excited about machine learning, despite the fact that we do not really understand how the human brain fully works, how can we already assume that we have created something superior to us and it will soon take over humanity or worse even, kill all of humanity? It will change the job market and people will have to adapt. But people have been doing that throughout history. No need to panic. |

If a gambler spends a lot of time in a casino, it would be hard for him not to dream of winning. After all, he has already put a lot of money and emotion into the games. Stopping dreaming about luck and big money is a difficult task, but doable. The gambler needs to have the patience and tenacity to stop building dreams around gambling.
Of course, this advice is correct, but what makes a player play? What drives him? The desire to get as much andrenaline as possible. So how do you keep the excitement in check? It is very difficult. The main thing - do not give the player the opportunity to take a big credit, otherwise, when sobering up, the situation may already be irreparable Not to mention the fact that everytime a person gambles and wins, their brain gets a dopamine buzz. Dopamine overstimulation of the brains dopamine receptors is what causes addiction. Everytime you win, you feel a rush because you brain now associates the act of gambling with a reward itself. This is why its so important to self discipline yourself and also make a strategy/plan. Make sure you know what you are doing and also limit yourself in how much money you will spend in a certain amount of time. As long as you come prepared into a casino, you will not necessarily fall into the gambling addiction trap. |
