Well it all depends if there's written rules regarding bug winning but I think majority of gambling site doesn't have any despute rules for bug winners so they should be compensated with the winnings.

But this is a lot of discussion to be made since I believe they will insist especially if the winning amount is so huge.
That is the problem, some website do not explicitly state any condition about winning through bugs which works in their favor since they can withhold the funds. I agree that they should at least be compensated, and by compensate, I mean generous.

Lol , this was exactly my feeling for several years ( and I was wrong btw) : this forum was my main and almost only source of cryptorelated info for many years .. since 2013 to 2017 ... then I started to meet crypotprojects ( mainly ICO during 2017 ico frenzy) who weren't advertised here and I was like "how the hell it is possible" lol

This forum still remains my first and main source of infos, the ones I consult more often..but along with many others nowadays.
The problem with the forum informations is that it is hard to sift the truth from all the bullshit especially if it is a current situation, but that is also the beauty of it because there is a diversity of opinions. Most gambling sites that I know of came from these forum and but unfortunately I frequently lurk and post in Scam Accusations so...

The problem with our current justice system is that it favors criminals because they are sent to prison where they only get worse, if a lot of people don't like the idea of rehabilitation of prisoners to integrate back into society like what Norway's Halden Prison, then we should probably torment the people that committed heinous crimes that we see equal to their deeds, this scares people into doing crimes because of the torment and at the same time breaks the scum of society.

Do you not know the heart of man is full of greed. The poor beg but not enough, many turned to scammers. Some rich people are full of greed, and do not think of second alternative than to betray their working partner. Although what is wrong is wrong, but the world is not balance. Religion help to an extent, because if not religion, people will be worse than this. The world is pleasurable for people that have enough to enjoy, and many saying 'the spirit is willing, but the flesh is week'.
This is true but also because most religions believes in the concept of forgiveness and I don't think that religion should be the main deterrent for increase in crime rates, I would say that the best way is to improve societal conditions like housing, food, water, hygiene, education and jobs because most petty cri.inals are just desperate people that can't find any way to make money but to do crime.

If bitcoin prices stay at 60k mark for a week, I am pretty sure that it will reach 70k mark real fast like what it did when it was around 20k, it glided at 30k and then a resistance at 40k and then a glide at 50k and so on.

I don't know any person so they might be a rare kind, and I don't think that speaking your thoughts won't help a lot when you are trading and it won't work if you are also really bad at trading.
1507  Economy / Speculation / Re: I just realized I'm 99.9% crypto and 0.1% in fiat on: April 13, 2021, 06:41:27 AM
Good for you that you can go for 100% bitcoin if the government and financial sector allows, I am pretty sure that you are a lucky one because from where I live, bitcoin and crypto detractors are in the higher position so it is near impossible to do that. Maybe I am around 30% bitcoin and the rest is probably fiat.
1508  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the Market is Thinking About Bitcoin Differently on: April 13, 2021, 05:41:25 AM
I Think this is normal. When you are investing in something that you are not sure its potentials, you try to minimize your loss by not holding long and investing limited amount of money. We have seen in the past where someone ordered pizza with huge amount of bitcoin. It might not be because he has no fiat to buy the pizza. This was what happened in the past. As the potential continue to grow the rate at which people hodl will continue to also increase.
I think the reason that Laszlo bought that pizza was not for substitution for payment but to prove that bitcoin can be used like a fiat to buy a pizza. If you are not sure of its potential then you shouldn't invest in it because you will lose money, the only way to earn big on investing is to take a leap of faith.
1509  Economy / Economics / Re: Where should we focus this year? on: April 13, 2021, 04:47:33 AM
This is absolutely true. Those who are new to crypto doesn't understand anything with this technology rather than trading. They dont value once potential and probably be jumping into small profiting scheme.
Understanding blockchain takes years and for a newbie to jump into that is a pretty crazy one because there should be some fundamentals that they first have to complete before they can go for blockchain maybe the basic concept of blockchain will suffice for the beginning but in-depth is a different story. Also, there is nothing wrong with profiting in bitcoin even if you don't know shit about the technical stuff behind it, if it was then the prices shouldn't be reaching this high.

The idea of everyone holding a full bitcoin is bullshit, there is a reason for Satoshi keeping a limit for the amount of coins in circulation and it means that you can have any sub division of a bitcoin. There are lot of lost coins and then there are a million coins supposedly owned by Satoshi which is not in circulation and the number of coins lost to scammers and some of them are still idle, bitcoin is the universal coin and you do not need a government to agree on anything, all you need to do is to start using it for global transaction.
Okay, let's say that there is the subdivision but can it sustain the population though? I am asking a genuine question whether can bitcoin sustain it or not and you say that it is a bullshit, are you an economist to prove that it is bullshit?
1511  Economy / Economics / Re: I think Bitcoin is the biggest bubble and ponzi in the universe or it isn't? on: April 13, 2021, 03:03:35 AM
Nice another troll in the forum, I am pretty sure that if bitcoin is a bubble, it should have burst a long time ago, your the kind of people who are bitter that they didn't bought bitcoin at a lower price so you try to tell other people that bitcoin to discourage them to get in and have someone share sentiment with your senseless beliefs and ideas.
1512  Economy / Economics / Re: Why you can't be rich by owning crypto on: April 12, 2021, 01:39:55 PM
You can get rich with bitcoin if you have a lot of it or if you buy now and you hodl it for a long time and then bitcoin price becomes astronomically high, I agree that bitcoin doesn't make you rich but it is a powerful tool to help build your wealth.
1513  Economy / Economics / Re: The Winklevoss twins worth $3bn Each for buying Bitcoin @ $8 with confidence on: April 12, 2021, 12:55:14 PM
Yeah, well they were smart and rich from the get-go and were always looking for the next big thing.  They had enough money to sink into bitcoin without worrying about whether they were overinvesting or if they'd need that money to pay the bills next month--which is a lot different from the average person out there in the world, especially back in the early days when the economy was in the shitter and unemployment was soaring.  I don't begrudge them their success at all, and I'm glad they're so into bitcoin, but they aren't exactly a rags-to-riches story.

But man, if I'd only known about bitcoin when it was created (and understood the nature of it; that took a while for me).  I might not be nearly as wealthy as a single Winklevoss twin, but I'd be rich enough to satisfy myself.  Ah well, it wasn't to be.  But I'd still love to try out Gemini, except I think they require a wire transfer of funds and that's a pain in the ass.  Not sure why they don't make it easier to fund a Gemini account.
Exactly, that is the big difference, don't be deceived by the fact that they had bought bitcoin back then, they are not exactly the right model that we have to follow because as @The Pharmacist, they have the money from the start so they can afford to do risk.
1514  Economy / Economics / Re: donating 50% of the vaccines purchased to the government. on: April 12, 2021, 11:51:16 AM

I don't know which country you are living in, so I can't really comment on the other issue. But as far as the vaccine availability is concerned, only a handful of the countries have been able to secure enough volume of vaccines to inoculate a large part of the population. More than 95% of the countries have faced difficulty in sourcing the vaccines. Obviously the Chinese vaccines are available, but they are extremely ineffective, as seen from the case with Chile, Serbia and Hungary. 
That's the problem, the stupid government is so incompetent that they didn't get the first batch of vaccine knowing the fact that they are limited since the production isn't polished yet. I wouldn't necessarily say that my country has difficulty because the pharmaceutical companies were the ones that approached and all they need is a simple paper of authorization and they didn't do it.
1515  Economy / Economics / Re: Counter trade every decision central bank make on: April 12, 2021, 11:16:17 AM
Not worthless. For a country that has a good standing through their banks, they're not making their decision that are just worthless in their eyes. Maybe to our understanding they're worthless and it's inevitable to think that we're better than them if we comprehend what they do and what we think they're wrong in their own standards.
Right, it is just a matter of perspective that we are talking about here, I mean aren't all banks instinctually protects their interests, that is why they are trying to make a deal that will benefit them the most rather than the other way around.
1516  Economy / Economics / Re: China to overtake the Us as the largest global economy by 2028? on: April 12, 2021, 10:39:54 AM
I believe that China can do it since they have all the industries covered, from indebting third world countries with a debt trap, concentration camp of Uyghurs for slave labor and Falun Gong organ harvesting to name a few. I think that China is going to really top US in terms of GDP in years and who knows, we might be able to see more human rights violation.
1517  Economy / Economics / Re: Biden infrastructure investment - got it right? on: April 12, 2021, 09:33:50 AM
I think the infrastructure plan is good and needed. I don't think it has much to do with China, though. To combat China, the US must onshore production and jobs, and for that you need companies to want to do it, to be patriotic, a bit like Japanese companies are. And of course, you need consumers to want it too, and to buy stuff not made in China (not necessarily made in USA, mind you, but in let's say democratic countries).
Of course everything has something to do with China trust me, US doesn't want to be toppled in their high horse by other superpowers. The problem with this infrastructure investment is that these kind of things are going to be filled with corruption/lobbying, I am sure that they made a very hard game with lobbying the right people in this investment.
1518  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia; The digital ruble will be launched in 2023 on: April 12, 2021, 08:56:52 AM
Digital ruble,digital euro,digital yuan...
They will be created to serve for the same purposes-cashless society,less money laundering,more tax revenue,less anonymity,more transparency...This is financial totalitarianism.The governments will control our finances and take away our freedom and privacy.They will do this,while pretending to fight tax evasion and money laundering.Pretending that they will create a better financial infrastructure,that is more efficient and safe.This is all just lies and propaganda.
CBDC is still just a concept,but central banks are working hard to bring CBDCs into reality.
Not to mention that this also helps with reducing the cost of printing fiat and overtime obsolete the printing of fiat altogether. I wouldn't really say that it is a totalitarian one sincethe government already know the crucial information about us even if we are to resist this one, if they force it doent our throats, we can't do shit about it.

There is no point in blaming the government, because the vaccines are in short supply right now. A few countries such as US, UK and Israel have managed to vaccinate a large part of their population, but almost all the other countries have failed to secure enough doses for their population. Countries such as Serbia, Hungary and Chile went for the Chinese vaccines, but now it is clear that these vaccines were ineffective. But I will not blame the governments in these countries, because they didn't had any other choice.
If you are living in my country you will know what I am talking about, the blatant corruption and persecution of political opponents and the incompetence, why wouldn't you blame that? The government is supposed to be working for its citizen and not the other way around, maybe if people stop enabling this kind of mentality, maybe we might see some changes. And in regards to vaccines, my country hasn't received anything yet because they are incompetent.
1520  Economy / Economics / Re: Diversifying with REITs - buy a prison :) on: April 12, 2021, 07:16:21 AM
I like real estate as an asset class, and I have a lot of REIT investments because of the tax advantages of owning them. That said, I can't think of a more morally objectionable real estate class than prison REITs.  Private prisons shouldn't even be a thing.  Data centers are a growing and much more palatable REIT investment in my book.
Government owned prisons are a hell hole compared to private prisons that have the facilities, I am for a humane prison system and if private prisons will give that then I wouldn't mind that my REIT has that kind of thing.
