I agree everyone is lucky but some people are more lucky than the others and that's why the ones who win such jackpots are those who are quite lucky.

Everyone's luck works in different areas, some people get lucky in casino games while others get lucky in sports betting.

Personally, my luck works well in sports betting and that's why I prefer it over other types of betting, but if someone's luck works well in casino games than he/she should prefer those instead of sports betting.

Bitcoin will surely reach a new ATH this year which will break its current ATH, and there's chance that Bitcoin may break that new ATH once again when buying pressure gets intense. If we check the history then we can understand that we are still away from the months where Bitcoin performed its best in previous bull runs.

I firmly believe that within 1 and half years we may see Bitcoin reaching way higher values than most speculations and if that happens then the ones who bought it when it was still below $60k would surely have some good profits, and the ones who accumulated Bitcoin with DCA+DIP buying strategy should have much higher profits within those 1 and half years.

I have also observed the threads of that guy and most of those seemed more like a scam attempt to me rather than a way to generate wealth. Yesterday I replied to one of his threads where he was opposing sports betting in order to promote his unlimited money generator, and in clear words I took side of sports betting because that's the type of betting I prefer myself.

If I'm not wrong, then the topics of this member have polluted the gambling board and I believe if those are against the rules of the forum as OP asked then those should be deleted by moderators in order to stop such intense type of spamming in order to promote a platform which might not work for anyone and the ones who may get trapped by his words might end up losing their funds.

My reported posts are still under 100, but now I should try to find more posts that I might report and get the number higher.

Most of the posts I have reported were AI generated content or the ones with clear signs of scamming others. It's nice to see that there are members who have reported so many posts and have good accuracy.

I'll definitely share my report record when I reach a report value that's greater than 100 or maybe 1000, and I believe this is going to be a great thread to share such records.

It would be great to see the number of reported posts of the staff members and moderators so we can see that how many posts they have reported.

There's nothing like unlimited money generation in online gambling, it's your own luck which allows you to win or lose, and in most cases such phrases are used to trap others.

I prefer sports betting because that's where my skills and understanding has helped to to gain some profits. I know that even in sports betting one can only win with skills if his or her luck is good.

Those jackpot stories haven't impacted my gambling routine even a little bit. I believe those stories are the stories of those players who are extremely lucky and I believe I'm not extremely lucky. I won't say that I'm not lucky but I believe I'm not extremely lucky and that's why I don't let such stories impact my gambling routine.

Yes, the Poker wasn't available on Stake when I visited it a few weeks ago but now they're adding it then it's surely going to be a great place for the ones who love Poker games. I'm personally a fan of poker games and surely I will soon give it a try.

I believe soon they will add the cash based poker tables so we can enjoy poker with other players who also enjoy spending time on poker games. I believe that in poker games luck and strategy both matter, and that's why I believe such games will be beneficial for many players.

I also hope that but in real most people do that because they don't care much about their safety as they believe that they are safe as long as they don't install unwanted software. You're right that nothing can stop a malware when it enters someone's device and those who safe their seed phrases as text files or images could end up losing their holding because of their own unawareness.

But, it's quite hard to promote awareness at that level in crypto world. I know those people who are part of this forum are much knowledgeable about privacy and safety of their crypto holdings but the ones who aren't part of this forum or who heard about crypto from their friends, always do something like that.

There are also those people who newly enter the crypto market and who doesn't understand the importance of seed phrases, and private keys, and in hurry they end up not saving those seed phrases and private keys.

First of all, I'm sorry for loss of your friend. It's really hard to forget the ones whom we lost in that Covid 19 times but at least we could wish best for their next life. The wallet file from 2013 could contain some Bitcoin in it and who knows your friend might be someone who believed in the concept of HODL.

I suggest you to look for all folders of his hard drives, SSD's, and also look for all hidden folders. Then you may manually check each text file, image file, video file, and audio file to see if you can find any clue about the seed phrase or private keys. I know it can be a time consuming task but if you do it with pure heart then you may get success.

If you don't find anything in those folders and files then you may try to use some recovery software and a safe external hard drive or SSD to recover all lost files that were deleted. There's chance that you may find some clue in those recovered files.

You may also try to check his browser history, saved passwords, and each possible crypto exchange which he might have visited when he was alive. Some people prefer to keep their Bitcoin at exchanges, I personally don't recommend that approach but still there are some people who do that.

After going through all of those procedures you might get some clue about the wallet but there's possibility that you may not find any clue. You may try your best and then post in this thread to let us know the results.

I would like to remind you that there can be posts which aren't related to OP but aren't off topic either. Sometime when you find someone's reply that contain valuable information or contain irrelevant information then it's not of topic to quote that reply and share your opinions about it.

In some cases it could lead to discussions which could be off topic ones but in most cases all the discussions in a thread a relevant ones. Some of those are direct responses to OP's thread while the rest of those are responses to other posts of the thread.

So now the new target of the government is centralized p2p exchanges where users can easily convert their crypto to fiat and fiat to crypto.

They are somehow trying to make such conversions harder and I believe they are doing it so crypto users may not be able to convert their crypto to fiat and fiat to crypto.

If decentralized p2p exchanges are working then that's a good sign, but still a question arises that for how long those decentralized exchanges will be safe from the government?

I think if in a country centralized p2p exchanges are under attack then in that country decentralized p2p exchanges are also at very high risk.

That's very true, if you're getting profit from one thing then you don't really have to convince others that how profitable that thing is. Let's say if you're making profits as a crypto trader then you should not convince or have arguments with the ones who think that it's not possible to earn money as a crypto trader.

It's great if you talk with someone who understands you but talking with the ones who don't believe in the things is just waste of your precious time and energy. In similar way, it's not good to talk about Bitcoin in gathering of skeptics who are highly against it and who consider it a scam or Ponzi scheme. It's just waste of time and energy, nothing else.

This one is going to be a great fight, both of those guys are high level fighters. It's going to be the top level fight because this match isn't against young and energetic fighters but senior fighters who are quite aged but have kept themselves fit.

Anderson Silva is still somehow younger than Terry Crews but when we see the physique then he's no match for Terry. It's really going to be the best fight of this year and I believe that both fighters will do their best to win the match. Let's see who will be the winner of the match.

Good to know that someone thinks like that, I personally hold BTC for ATH and sell some of my holdings when I see its value at peak and then I wait for the intense dips of the bear market and continue accumulating during those dips.

That's how I do it but I believe you're also doing it right. Just hold your Bitcoin and keep trusting in it, but if you can make some money while selling at peaks then there's nothing wrong in that approach.

If that's working for you then nothing is wrong in that approach but for me my own picks work most of the time and that's why I never bet against those.

The win rate of my own picks is quite high because I only bet against the much weaker teams and most of the times leading teams crush the weak teams easily.

I place few bets per month but those work for me. I place bets on cricket events most of the time but sometimes I place bets on other events as well.

 

Instead of looking inside that file OP you may try to search your whole hard drive for text and images because most people save their seed phrases as text or screenshot image. If you're also like most people then you might have done something like that.

The limited supply of Bitcoin is not the only reason for its value, if it comes to limited supply then 21 million is still not a small number, and Satoshi could even reduce it to 11 million which would make it more limited in supply.

The main reason why Bitcoin is going value is the number of holders who believe in it, and the decentralized nature of it. If Satoshi and his wallets start selling Bitcoin then Bitcoin can lose a lot of its value.

Even Satoshi is still holding his Bitcoin, and that's why Bitcoin isn't lose much value. The holders from 2017 are still holding their Bitcoin and holders from 2024 are also holding their Bitcoin.

If holders somehow start selling their Bitcoin holdings then Bitcoin will lose its value but as long as they hold their coins, and new holders start accumulating and holding then Bitcoin will continue to rise in value.

Well, it's possible if someone is extremely smart in detecting true gems or if someone is extremely lucky while in most cases the ones who are part of the dev team gets those profits.

I have personally invested on many such coins and to be honest I haven't made profits in any of those. I believe I'm not good at detecting the gems but if someone is really good at detecting those gems then it's somehow possible I agree.

This is a good topic and I believe I agree with you that for gambling purposes one should never borrow money from anyone. Not only for gambling but even for trading or investing, one should never think about borrowing money from anyone.

One should always play gambling for fun and should not think about adding 1000's of dollars in order to win huge. The people who put huge money in gambling often face big losses and that's why it's 100x better to go with small bets and enjoy if you win.

I always say and believe that gambling is game of luck, anyone who's lucky can win from it but the ones who aren't lucky will only lose no matter if they place small amount bets or huge amount bets. That's why a gambler should always try to place small bets and enjoy the game if his/her luck isn't good.

I think I have lost far less in gambling than on those Solana and base memecoins and I believe you're actually right that it's a type of gambling to invest in those coins because they can lose value pretty fast and or gain value also so fast.

The worst thing I have noticed about memecoin gambling is the presence of rug pulling, on normal casino based gambling we don't get rug pull but on Solana meme coins we see 100's to 1000's of rug pulls on daily basis.

I still invest in some reputable Solana memecoins but it's very hard to find which one is a good one and which one will rug pull your money. That's why I don't recommend anyone to invest or gamble Solana memecoins unless you fully understand how they work.
