It is quite sad that these days, the nature of bitcoin as a decentralized currency is trying to be taken away by most of the big companies especially those who are centered on financial services. The reason is that most are focused on hype and to increase the market price of bitcoin, they do not know that their rights on cryptocurrency especially bitcoin are slowly taken away as they use these financial systems that control their private keys. Meaning, the statement on the white paper of bitcoin which states about it being a tool for peer to peer transaction will fade as people return to using these financial institutions that are considered as the intermediaries.
Yeah, sad fact is that bitcoin isn't what is was some years ago and while it's sad, the current situation sounds very logical, I would even be surprised if it wasn't like that. Bitcoin turned into commercial business. Big companies are on the prowl, they make takeover bids to buy other ones, for example like finance did and bought coinmarketcap. What do you think, are they silly to pay 400 million USD in a website that shows cryptocurrencies prices? No, they have a strategy around it that will bring them 400 million and even more back while also giving them the power they seek. Bitmain upgrades equipment, mines a lot and then sells them like an innovative product while it's already old for them. |

It's bright that opening of economics has made and is making pandemic worse but there is no other choice. Please, don't argue with me that our health is more important than economics because your health directly depends on your economic, without good economics, it will fail too.
People have to follow standards very carefully and mustn't be careless when it comes to our and someone's health. To be fair, I think numbers are inflated and real death cases caused by covid isn't that high. At the same time, governments mustn't panic people as it will make the situation worse. Place effect has a huge impact on people and society, good placebo effect is important and at the same time when they panic people, some people are so afraid of it that request to be placed in a hospital when they see that they just choke or sneeze. Because of limited resources, it's making it hard to find places for those who really need treatment.

There is some logic behind it and despite the fact that I have been in touch with b2b service providers and was working in online casinos, I have to say that it's not really a bad idea. During pandemic and lockdowns, there was an enormous rise in traffic. It was great for business but it was an indicator that people were spending too much money on casinos. I think most of them wouldn't be very rich, so money was very necessary during this lockdown because you are in stuck, no work and no income. Yeah, people may need entertainment but at the same time we have to consider reality and it's that people can't have much control over themselves when it comes to gambling. For this, we started an active campaign for responsible gambling and I think we played our role in it to inform players and help them to spend less money.
But limitations that Germany sets is very tough, we need moderate control, we shouldn't kill this segment and have to consider that a lot of people work there too and they have their families, they need money.
Another deal to my mind can be if governments increase taxes for a while and use those funds to help people who really need during this covid. I know it sounds like a terrible idea but I believe it's not that bad for a limited time. Here it will be like: Money from those who have a lot goes to those who don't have and need it.
I am with that concept of getting money from those who can afford and give it back to those badly need it. If they are still gambling despite of the situation, that means most of them can afford to allocate funds for gambling, right? I don't think a responsible family man will take the risk of sending his money (supposedly for his family's food) to the online casino. As a gambler, you know the risks involved in these games. So you should not expect that you will win afterwards. So yes, why not get the tax from these online casinos and give their fair share as they can continuously operate even during this pandemic. No, no, not everyone realizes those problems. Most people gamble because games and the whole process is designed like you have an affect on your neurotransmitters, especially on the release of dopamine, this is a hormone that rewards us with happiness and also it's the hormone that makes us addicted to something. So a lot of people are becoming addicted to the rush of dopamine cause by gambling. Some people may not realize but they spend more money on gambling than they really can afford, even a family men too. The decision that's discussed in this thread has it's pros and cons that I already mentioned above. It's like a dilemma where we have to choose between bad and worse for people and economics. |

In overall, pros have to outweigh cons!
Where can they promote their service in traditional web? I don't mean dark ones. Bitcointalk is the best place for that. If you look deeply, you'll see that they have a lot of high-quality posters in almost every aspect: High-quality posters in bitcoin discussion board, technical board, economics board, gambling board. They cover all the boards with an insane amount of quality and well-known posters, in overall it looks like they conquered this forum (in a good way).
Every single bitcoin that is sent on an advertisement brings them customers. It's like they have to giveaway money in order to receive it and even more. Convert money into clients and then clients into more money.
The main question is already answered by chipmixer, so nothing to add from my side.

Whole ton of users leaving  That's because as it seems, bitcoin's price is rising and those users found that at the moment there are open spots in another campaign and can collect almost 2x coins. I have nothing against someone or against any campaign but the problem is that when you are hired and manager included you in his advertisement strategy, it's not right when you just leave for some more bucks. It also doesn't mean that you have to follow a manager for months but when you jump from campaign to campaign because of a higher offer on weekly basis, that's not really good. |

I think the culture that we should implement on this forum is that when you come with problems, you have to come with solutions too.
There can be some things done to lessen the spam and scam in those sections but at the same time everything comes with some costs and theymos comment was interesting regarding to newbie jails.
First of all, people have to use their brains. It's bad that someone tries and scams but it's even worse that people fall as victims. People should learn how to analyze the project, why that project gives them a promise, they should understand that nice words look nice on paper and not in real life.
I think this is the best deal here, it can be like cognitive behaviour therapy for people and I think will lessen the number of scams.

I said that if Ebay may decide to add cryptocurrencies, other attempts from competitors would turn into a huge, huge loss. As we see, PayPal decided to integrate cryptocurrencies. Right now you can only buy virtual bitcoin but in 2021 you'll be able to fully use crypto service. Btw bitcoin will still be taxable because according to IRS it's treated like property. For example, assume Sam wants to buy a piece of furniture listed for $10,000 by a PayPal merchant. Sam doesn’t have US dollars to make the purchase so he uses 1 bitcoin (BTC) he owns. Sam purchased this 1 BTC for $4,000 a few years ago and now it’s worth $10,000. When Sam initiates the transaction through PayPal, Paypal converts this 1 BTC into $10,000 USD and transfers the funds to the merchant. At the time of the conversion, Sam would face a taxable event and have to pay taxes on $6,000 ($10,000 - $4,000) of long-term capital gains. Taxes would roughly equate to $900 ($6,000 * 15%). Have a look at this article: Will PayPal’s crypto offer turn into a tax nightmare?And at this: How Taxes Will Complicate Crypto Payments On PayPal |

Please don't crucify me. Some hours ago PayPal payment system made some good decision of incorporating into their system buy and sell of Bitcoin, this has made it price to move from it former state. Basically ripple would have be the best for them IMO, seeing that ripple is the future of cryptocurrency irrespective of it centralization. As a ripple holder from inception, I did want Paypal to reconsider the use of ripple as it stand at the frontier of this era of digital currency. Hope this message get to PayPal team for appropriate actions.
They stated that upcoming cryptocurrencies are: Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. They haven't mentioned ripple at the moment and to be fair I am a little bit surprised but there is a logic behind this decision. Paypal needs new customers, as they stated, they expect that millions of crypto users will come and use their service after this implementation that will be fully covered in 2021. So, if they need new customers, then bitcoin is by far the best choice because it has a lot of users, then comes Ethereum but seems they jumped from Ripple to bitcoin cash. |

<snip> Personally, I am in the negative so far after gambling for several years, but I will continue gambling now and then for fun using real money. Honestly I'm a little surprise to you that you keep playing even though you have such not so good results on it. But I won't be saying anything bad negative about you, in fact it's nice to notice the positivity on you. Just be much careful gambling since you could always lose all of your money because of it, and I do relate, cause most of the time I'm eager to win. Goodluck, I hope that you to hit some jackpot soon  I think it's not a right place to discuss about gambling and it's effect on us. But in overall I want to mention that you have to look at casinos as service providers that offer you another level of entertainment and sometimes you have to pay some money for it or even get rewarded, that's all. Similar to fitness subscription, where you pay for it but and sometimes get rewards or succeed in group trainings. it was fantastic experience to be honest compare too many other high volatility casino iv try if you see what i mean  i need to deposit like 20 -30 time to catch a big win but here it's so different also the feature of instant funds are awesome hope you gonna make more promotion like regular casino such welcome bonus free spins etc big up roobet  Seems you were just lucky, wish you all the best. |

What I see the most often is that there are cases when people lose and try to recover, promise themselves that once they recover from losses, they'll never gamble but sometimes it happens like people can't really follow their words or luck isn't on their side and they can't profit, higher debt makes it much more difficult to recover from it.
But, also what I see is that people usually think about different kind of strategies and while in their mind it sounds good, once they fail, then they think that they didn't give it enough time and budget to prove that it works and then they invest even more in their gambling strategies and if they end up losing a lot, then they move on another one and think around it. Then time comes when they promise themselves to never gamble but then again happens what I already mentioned above.

I understand that they will start in 2021, for now they are closing all the negotiations with Paxos since they got the license with BitLicense, it is an opportunity to be able to expand with Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, BCH. It's all a matter of waiting, so far it has been published in a reliable source known as Cointelegraph. Source : https://cointelegraph.com/news/paypal-to-offer-crypto-payments-starting-in-2021Pretty much true. On most of the news websites titles look like PayPal already implemented crypto with full features. Right now, as it seems we will only be able to buy virtual bitcoins, not a real ones i.e. we own bitcoin on paypal and it's price will change like a real one but we won't be able to deposit/withdraw bitcoin. Also, there was an article on cointelegraph about paypal crypto and taxes. Seems we will have to pay and get charged again. Btw without doubt, paypal is a reason of this rise in price but was it the result of the fact that people didn't understand that paypal hasn't really implemented it right now and what it offers to us is just virtual bitcoin? Or people understood it and it still caused positive vibes? |

At some point it's good that they follow the technological trends but I don't think that hardware wallet with fingerprint authorization is a good idea, it's very dangerous.
First of all it's very easy to fake fingerprint by trying some techniques, for example, 3D printing, getting imagination about his/her fingerprint by touching something from his/her side and then working on making a fake one. Also, what if somehow happened like you fall asleep and someone tries to have an access on your wallet by using your finger while you are asleep? What happens if you seriously scratch your finger? There are a lot of cons in this subject.

I am not against the copper membership but I am against those newbie who wear copper membership promoting scam projects. This is just my random thought anyway.
You're focusing on the wrong thing. If copper membership wasn't available, scammers would buy/hack/farm accounts just the same, as they've done for years. If you see someone promoting scam projects - create a scam accusation and ask the community if it should be labeled as scam. There is nothing special about the copper account, other than the forum getting 20 bucks and everyone seeing that it's a purchased account. Good remark, if someone sees that someone promotes scam project or even scam service, just open scam accusation thread or ask some DT members to red tag him. I think the problem that this user faces is that newbies aren't naturally able to wear signatures while some people are able to pay for copper memberships and break this resistance. I don't understand at all why there is so huge negative feelings regarding to signatures, copper memberships and around similar things. There are things that you can't fully fix. There is jail on crime but tons of crimes happen daily. People have to learn to do more and deep research when they are looking for something. If you see a project, just check scam accusation, reputation child boards, google more around the project, have analytical thinking. You have to use your brain and don't be lazy to look into someone's hands. |

Well, if I would be able to buy real bitcoin and would have an ability to deposit/withdraw bitcoins on Paypal, then for sure I would use it.
But buying virtual bitcoin and holding or keeping it on Paypal isn't something that I want. If I have USD, then I would just normally use Paypal as always but what users here want is to be able to send bitcoins into their Paypal and be able to exchange it or send. Hope, they'll soon add this feature.
Seems, right now their strategy is to gain the attention of holders but at the same time they talk about taxes that we may have to pay, so, idk how wise action it is from Paypal to launch this service without main features.

If you have a good relationship/communication with casino owner/managers, then it will be better to use this advantage and ask them this question, especially data analysts and marketing managers/product owners.
Personally, I can tell you that at first people are looking for a nice user interface, something that will be easy to use and understand. Then comes promotions, promos play a huge role to attract new customers. But you know what, casinos spend most of their money in advertisements. They spend huge money in promotions too but these promotions are like an investment that should have good ROI. I'm telling you this just for general information that you may already know.
To be fair, some people rarely check the house edge. Slots have a high house edge but a lot of people play them because of its graphics and different types of giveaways with different visual content. This has it's psychological effect on humans too. If I play blackjack that has high house edge compared to dice, that's because I love this game and opposite. And in overall, the house edge on games are like a standard everywhere.
So:
1. UI/UX/Visuals
2. Promotions
3. Great variety of games
4. Great customer support / great response time.
5. Speed of website
6. Easy deposit / easy withdrawal.

The players here at Bitsler will not lose or leave just because it lacks the features that we want to see or they should also have in the sportbook. I noticed that Bitsler has a lot of really loyal players since I started hanging out here on Monday, not a day goes by that I don't talk in chat. I have seen people betting even though this is their situation now. Because they know how to understand that this sportbook is really new here on this gambling site. Even I have not tried to bet on their sportbook so I only play in the old games first.
Bitsler really has loyal customers. That's because there is a strong and healthy relationship between the company and the customers. This casino cares about customers, tries to offer good promotions, reward players and solve all of their problems quickly. The only thing that I really don't like and wish to be amended is the speed of casino products development. They have to move at a higher speed and add many products. For example, they don't have slots, just a basic thing. Btw their sportsbook will get better and better with amazing and exciting features/promotions. Bitsler rocks in it... |

Do you seriously say that? Have you ever played blackjack in live casinos? Well, I'll still explain.
First of all, in live casinos, they play with 8 decks in the shoe. From these eight decks, only four plays. So, from 416 cards, approximately 208 plays and sometimes it happens like even less or more, it depends on the shuffler. Card shuffle quality is controlled, so, for this reason, shufflers try to put the cutting card in the front and not back to the middle. It results in playing even fewer cards, nearly 170-200. So this action even lessens your chance to count cards. It has zero idea to count cards in live blackjack. Also, there are risk analysts there who sit and have a look at players behaviours. Not only that, shuffle quality is always monitored and if it happened like shuffle quality in the certain round is very, very low, then the game can be cancelled and players get refunded.
I replied about it a long time ago and I retracted what I said on my thread starter. What you said is what other people have said already. I do not care about your explanation because others have pointed it out and yeah what you just said I know about it already. Sorry. First of all, you created this thread on 13 October and I replied to you on 20 October. So you haven't replied to anyone here " a long time ago". It's a short time. I said everything about evolution gaming in more details than anyone here and believe me, I have very high competence in it. Also, I do not care <-- sounds rude cause I'm not t spamming your thread and instead try to help and give you a detailed answer to have an overall image around this task. Again, if you provide me with posts here that say the same things that I said (double-check my post), then red tag me. |

I think, via tokenization, we will avoid 3rd parties and save millions of dollars and this is a great bonus, these funds can be used for different projects and even for improving our healthcare systems and higher funding of healthcare services.
In overall, blockchain technologies can make stored information more secure and very hard to modify but at the same time, this can be a problem. For example, people are often misdiagnosed, i.e. someone has bipolar disorder but is misdiagnosed with depression, etc.
But the main problem of our Healthcare is that they don't want to fix the problems and even cause them. Stimulants, antidepressants and anti anxiolytics are given to kids, to my mind that's a catastrophe. Their brain hasn't developed and doctors already mess with their brain chemistry. As a result, someone feels like a zombie, develop depression and other mental problems. I think that's the real problem in our world right now but the most curious thing is that we see advertisements where brands suggest people ask for this or certain medication and in this case, advertisements come from hard drug manufacturers too.

Why not make a few things fully transparent here?
Post reporter
You see who reports what posts
Mod dealing with report
You see which mod deleted the post or marked it bad
~snip~
This can cause unwanted side effects: People who got reported may PM post reporters and ask why did they report them, wtf do they want, etc, this can turn into revenge. Nothing serious but not joyful at all. And the second case, to see which mod deleted the post, can really be very bad for moderators because they may receive dozens of PMs from users about why did he/she remove the post. Mods are super busy and it will be impossible to answer all of these kinds of PMs, so PM spamming isn't something that we want. Btw polls transparency is a good idea. We can see whether certain answers are consciously abused by newbies/alts or not. |
