Easy to solve.

If you are going to leave the platform for a long period of time, withdraw everything.

The casinos I use never did something like you mentioned though. I left a few bucks there and years later it was still there un touched.

Different casinos might deal with this situation differently. Still, better be safe than be sorry.
1522  Economy / Economics / Re: LMAO: Santander UK bank puts limits to buy bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. on: November 05, 2022, 04:36:13 AM
They are mad man. They are mad because we are driving cars and flying jets. If everyone leaves legacy banking and move to crypto then these banksters will lose their jobs. That’s another reason why they are mad at us. UK is pretty friendly against crypto anyway. Santander is a Spanish bank and everybody that read the history knows how the Spanish empire ruined itself when they decided to mess up with people’s money before.

I don’t trust banks mostly but I am damn sure that I don’t trust any Spanish banks.
1523  Economy / Gambling / Re: Black Friday fever: do you wait for extra bonuses from casinos? on: November 04, 2022, 03:45:06 AM
Halloween is now over. Perhaps some of you participated in tournaments from iGaming providers. Black Friday is next on the list.
As it is no longer associated solely with marketing campaigns of offline and online retailers, bookmakers and casinos actively support the November fever too.
They offer players FS from providers and various promo activities  from the platforms themselves.
Question - are you expecting exclusive promo offerings on the Black Friday?

Of course I do. Black Friday is the best period of the year for us shopping addicts. I renew my hosting deals/domains always in November. Every merchant, every business owner come up with great deals during this month. Casinos won’t be any different is this regard. At least most of them. The ones who don’t participate in these events will be the losers imo.
1524  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Portable mining - what and how? on: November 01, 2022, 04:16:20 AM
Yes, you are dreaming.

When mining wasn’t as popular as today, there was those usb-stick miners and you could carry them with you and mine crypto everywhere. (Starbucks for ex.)

Now it is not possible anymore because the network hashrate is through the roof.

Even home mining is dying.

Back in my day, red trust ratings meant something. It wasn't something you would convert to a neutral rating so easily.

You youngsters don't know that but there was a hero...

Her name was "Lauda"...

She was the perfect scam buster and when you received a tag from her, it was impossible to get rid of it.

Once she marked you, it was over.

No second chances, no negotiations.

Appeals? Fuck em.

She would defend her position with clever arguments to the very end. She was convincing too. Never backed down. No apologies.

Those were the days...

Then eventually she got compromised. She apologized. Sad That day I lost a piece of mine.

Aah...

Wow I wasn’t visiting this board for quite some time and you know what?

It delivered.

Reading it page by page and it is worth every second I have spent here.

Oath breakers, fallen angels, back stabbers, anonymous executioners, negative trust ratings going in every direction like firing a machine gun…

This is the bitcointalk I remember.

Only Lauda is missing in this picture…somehow :/
1527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling house responisbilty to protect people data on: October 30, 2022, 06:21:47 AM
Ideally, gambling houses should not disclose the identity of the person who won big without first asking him. Unfortunately, this is not respected always.

Those gamblers who do not want their information to be public, but the gambling houses make their names public, can go to the court of law as this is a serious offense. Gamblers can claim damages to the gambling site on this basis. Do you think gamblers should take the help of courts in this case ?

They should but what can the courts do in this situation?

Most casinos don’t accept any players from the US because the US judges can judge anyone in the world and the other countries can’t do anything about it because these casinos are usually located in those small Caribbean islands…

Let’s say you live in France and the casino you played on is located in somewhere far away. What are you gonna do if the casino does these offenses you mentioned?

Sue them? Yeah good luck with it.
1528  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Prime Minister of UK - A crypto believer on: October 30, 2022, 06:17:45 AM
As expected from the world’s finance capital.

The UK makes most of its income from banking/finance and it would be mad to drive crypto users away.

People want this product, they want to hodl it, they want to trade it, they want to purchase stuff with it. Why make things harder for people especially when you can get your own cut from the action?

Rishi sees what is happening perfectly and he wants to get a piece for the UK and tbh, the UK needs that piece pretty badly considering how badly their economy is doing lately.
1529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Would a Nation of Sports Gamblers Look Like? on: October 30, 2022, 05:12:12 AM
I see two things here. The first is that I am surprised that there are a lot of states in the USA where gambling is not legalised. Gambling has its bad things, like alcohol for example, but it is more than proven that by prohibiting it you don't eliminate it, you leave it in the hands of mafias and you stop collecting taxes. And this brings me to the second part, that part of the taxes will be used to help the homeless seems to me to be a poor argument. What we have to do is to attack the root of the problem and try to avoid, or at least reduce the percentage of homeless people.

Then, as for the clothes that people may be wearing, I consider that a secondary issue.

Gambling makes people poor and in a country like the US, you are literally fucked if you are out of money.

Smoking and drinking alcohol will ruin you financially too. See how expensive your health insurance will get when you consume both.

People in the US don’t smoke or drink alcohol, not because they hate these products. It is because they have done the math and they don’t want to get robbed by the big pharma.

Gambling on the other hand has nothing to do with your physical health (your mental health is another story) and that’s why there isn’t any entity to keep you in line other than the government and the government always ban the stuff which can’t have it under control.
1530  Economy / Economics / Re: House is a forced saving on: October 30, 2022, 05:04:12 AM
That’s true. Especially if you don’t own a place to live, getting a mortgage is the best investment you can have in the long run. The rates went too high lately but the prices ain’t coming down but eventually they will. I suggest you to wait a bit more before buying a house right away. The economy will only get worse before it gets better. Housing is the biggest expense of any middle/low class working person probably so the earlier you get rid of that cost the better it is for you.

Poker isn’t a game. Poker is a life style.

It is the art of war.

When you play poker, you are at war with your opponents and just like in any war, you look weak when you are strong and look strong when you are weak.

1532  Economy / Economics / Re: friend I want to invest short term in bitcoin and crypto. to meet their living a on: October 29, 2022, 04:35:16 PM
a friend of mine came to me and he asked, is it possible to invest in bitcoin and crypto for the short term,? which is to meet daily needs, and I am confused to answer because I am still a beginner in bitcoin and crypto. and I want to ask everyone about it?

If he is ready to lose money yes, it is possible. You can go long or short on bitcoin and can make or lose money in a short time. However, you can go long or short on almost any financial asset or currency. Then, why choose bitcoin?

If he wants to make money by holding bitcoin then it is probably not going to be possible quickly. Getting rich by holding takes time. Is he ready to wait for more than a year? Probably not.

I think a person like your friend should stay away from crypto.
1533  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk Becomes Owner Of Twitter, Immediately Fires CEO And CFO on: October 29, 2022, 04:08:40 PM
I don’t know why he bought that source of filth of a sinking social media crap but he made the correct decision by firing them libtard morons from the company.

Maybe after firing 75% of the current staff, twitter can become free again like it used to be before going full woke.

People needed a social media platform where they can express their opinions freely and Musk wants to deliver that.

Godspeed
1534  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to DCA when BTC crashing on: October 29, 2022, 10:16:51 AM
Lets be assumed


BTC Crashing 20000$ and 15000$ maximum . From 20000$ how to DCA?

The same way when bitcoin was in a bull run.

DCA has nothing to do with prices. You buy when it is going up and you keep buying when it is going down.

If you break this text pattern then it is not DCA’ing anymore. It is timing the markets now.

Since only a few people can time the markets and the majority cannot, people do DCA instead.
1535  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will cryptocurrency replace other currencies? on: October 29, 2022, 06:13:19 AM
It probably won’t because the other currencies are issued by the central banks and people pay their taxes using these currencies. Because of their centralized nature, national currencies are fast to transact and can handle millions of users unlike crypto. Crypto will have its place among these currencies  but won’t replace them.
Also crypto can be banned by the government and can lose its hard gained adoption in a day.
1536  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MY FIRST BITCOIN PURCHASE. on: October 29, 2022, 05:54:43 AM
It's been nothing but JOY through out yesterday for me, as I was able to officially buy my first Bitcoin for HODL. I have been really interested in cryptocurrency lately but had no single clue of how it really works.
I then met with a friend, not just friend but a very long time friend, who have been thriving in the crypto space for guidance, and he kept giving me series of web links to go study and get back to him when done.
This is one thing I'm not really good at, which is reading for long and even writing.
I tried twice but couldn't and kept going back to him to just summarize everything and show me how to start making a living out of Bitcoin just as he was doing, but he kept referring me back to the links he sent and each time he did, I really feel bad and thought he never wanted to help me.

Two months back I took the challenge and read all he gave to me and not just once but about thrice this time, got all I needed and went back to him, but on a different note and then he told me, "WE DON'T CUT CORNERS, TO MAKING A LIVING GENUINELY." I felt that really hard and one thing he always kept singing was that I always buy Bitcoin at every opportunity that I have and today I'm so glad to announce that I was able to buy about $60 worth of Bitcoin, glad the journey of a thousand mile has began on the 28 of October 2022, And I hope it leads to greater opportunity in the industry, as I'm willing to learn ways.

Please join me celebrate my little beginning as I hope to update the community about my progress.

Congrats. Bitcoin has been making lots of people happy since its inception.

However, living out of bitcoin might be difficult from now on. I am not saying it is impossible but the growth may not make you that happy. Maybe you can double or triple your money but will that be enough for you? That would make lots of people happy but I am not sure about you.

You should probably consider the other investment options too if you are aiming to get retired.

If you are thinking about becoming a trader, then that's whole another story. The growth potential there is simply limitless.
1537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why btc cannot move pow to pos on: October 29, 2022, 05:17:43 AM
This question comes, Do btc network can move to POW to POS?
I am just asking and there is a issue that electricity bill too. Energy problem is most hottest topic all now. so lets discuss this

Who said it can't?

BTC very well may move to PoS.

But this decision requires consensus. If the user base and the miners accept this change then it will happen.

In my opinion, this would happen only when we hit a wall with PoW. When PoW leaves us with no room to expand then people will take PoS more seriously. That will probably happen in the future but probably not in the next 5-10 years.

As long as mining is sustainable, miners will continue to mine.
1538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler who betrayed his friend's trust on: October 29, 2022, 05:14:26 AM
To build trust on someone takes time and  sacrifice, you have someone that you trust so much because they know this,they end up disappointing you in a way that might be unforgivable because of money.

There are two friends Kelvin and Charles,they have similar likes and have being gambling and predicting results of matches together. One day Kelvin and Charles studied a game together for some days and finally, it was the game day,so these two friends instead of playing separately decided to put their money together to bet big so that the win will also be bigger.

LoL what? Gambling don't work that way unless the provider changes the odds when you wager more.

They should have wagered separately.

I didn't even have to read the rest of the story because I can already guess what happened.

When it is about money, trust only yourself and no one else. That's a solid life lesson for whoever lost money in this story.
1539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigerian Man Won $51,000 in Sports Betting With a Bet of Just $1.072 on: October 28, 2022, 04:43:25 AM
In some parts of the world $50k means nothing. So whether you talk about your winnings or not make no difference. If that Nigerian man still lives in Africa, then yes he should keep his mouth shut because African countries are not the richest countries in the world and the crime rate in those countries are pretty terrible. In the US though, many people make $50k in 6-7 months it is not a big deal at all. Nobody will care or murder you for that money.
1540  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you Consider the Price of Bitcoin to be More Important than its Purpose? on: October 27, 2022, 08:15:10 PM
Depends.

Depends on how you use bitcoin.

If you are an investor, price is all that matters. Obviously crypto adoption is a very important thing which drives the prices up or down but so is the FED's decisions. In the end it is the price the investor is ultimately interested in, nothing else.

If you use bitcoin as a medium of exchange as a consumer or a business owner, then you have the option to convert your crypto to FIAT instantly. Big credit card companies have these products if I remember it right. Bitpay does that for the merchants too. You don't even get any crypto, you just see the $$$ in your bank account and bitpay or the similar 3rd parties do the work for you. If that's the case then you have no business with the crypto prices.
