Brazil didn't make Bitcoin a legal tender, it just allowed to use it. And IMO it is good and better corresponds the spirit of Bitcoin: you got an alternative but you are not made to use it. Bitcoin has enough benefits of using it and not to be needed in legislative enforcement to use it.

What casino websites are they?

Most of the casinos that are scammers are newer ones because they've got no reputation to protect and they're just like hit or miss type of scammers hiding through a casino.

And for your reference about the casinos in the forum, we've got plenty of them through the Gambling section.

After I started my Bitcoin holding journey a few months ago,
At that time, my close friend Sam! also have some capital he want to put away in cryptocurrency, and I advised him to buy Bitcoin instead of an altcoin. But instead of him to have a long-term potential mentality, he was looking for a quick profit so he filled up his portfolio with shitcoin, while I went in on a single portfolio of Bitcoin and when the unexpected of FTX hack happen the whole market in shamble and his altcoin portfolio have dropped above %800+ but my bitcoin holding still maintains some level of stability.

This gives me more confidence in Bitcoin and newbie who are looking for long-term holding should hold more bitcoin, in their private wallet to avoid exchange, but your knowledge to always have a good entry price.

Young people want to do many things and if their family's financial situation is not enough, they look for different solutions. They can work somewhere in their spare time, buy and sell things, these are good things. The bad part is when they start gambling for easy money. They may be lucky at first. Even if they have unlucky times, they can win after a while. They will put 1 and get 3-5-10-20 whatever. If they lose they will say next time ill win and i'll cover my losses. In this way, they can live for several years. They may make bad choices to find money. Stealing money from their families, being sellers of illegal things etc. If they are not very successful in gambling, which 97-98% will bad at it. At the end they will drown in debt. They get older, they missed many opportunity probably they wont know how to make money in real life. In this way, they will have wasted a life.

This might be seems bad scenario but I had a friend couple years ago this story based on his life. One small wrong decision can affect your whole life like a domino effect.

Who do you think is do panic selling? I think its normal to see the price of Bitcoin drop. Look Bitcoin history have a cycle if you are here for very long time or if you know the history of Bitcoin then you shouldn't be panic.

However, since there are some potential to make profit selling it is the best choice and buy later for cheaper price. That's a normal cycle of trading.

if you yourself have never even held bitcoin and are asking how to introduce bitcoin to people in the best way, then what needs to be educated is yourself. Starting from yourself, use bitcoin and feel the difference, if you haven't used it yourself, don't give empty knowledge to other people.
There are many ways you can do to start introducing bitcoin, even now it's easier. a lot of advertising media that preach bitcoin when the price of bitcoin is high enough and people are curious and finally learn about it and invest in it. first, you have to start from yourself.

I was wondering if there could still be any safe centralised exchange in the blockchain industry. Of lately lots have been unveiling itself and centralisedexchanges are at the end of it all.  Does it mean that these centralised exchanges that are in existence lacks the capability to safeguard assets and funds after attracting investors and traders to their platforms for engagement and activities?
 How do you explain these things to the people whom have entrusted their funds and assets to you for safe keeping hoping that what they gave to you is under safe care only to wake up to a sad news of their assets being stolen by hackers. How do you explain all these.

At first identifying the problem is a basic course for rendering solutions. If these problems are not identified immediately by the exchanges for quick remedy then who's to be blamed for it. Do they really do constant check on their service to know their lapses, if they do, do they identify it immediately with utmost attention? Do they do a constant check and evaluation on their staff and  mechanisms.

With all these said, what are your opinions on this subject matter as I feel this needs to be looked into for possible measures to be taken for  so as to further prevent or minimise the rate at which exchanges get hacked or being careless with investors and traders funds.

I will echo the sentiments of most of our posters here, it can't be prevented in this era. We have moved to a point that everything, including crypto base online casinos are going to ask for KYC. That what the world we live in right now, our identity will have to be known to them specially if we are winning huge amount of money.

So before they are going to pay, they want to record everything first, as government has also mandated that before they will be given their license to operate, they will have to pass KYC first. That's how it is and so there is no solution but to follow what they requested and submit ourselves to KYC procedures.

Stay where you are good at and if a decision you have wanting to quit then just do it for good. It may hard at the beginning and you'll feel that you're going to win back those losses and you might experience those huge wins again, just don't think of it.
Clear your mind and have yourself really set for quitting and don't ever go back again. But most gamblers tell that and eventually, they're coming back and playing again.

I had to read this multiple times and still cannot understand why exactly gambling with credit cards is more high risk than gambling with cash, for example? If a gambler has a huge gambling problem, up to the point that his life is turned upside down and he needs to take a loan out, he will not be saved by having been denied a credit card. More tempted? Sure. But people who reach that low point are not going to be hard to persuade to do something stupid.

They say two good heads are better than one, I couldn't agree more. Here's a an unconventional betting strategy that me and my friends have come up with to bet on some of the world cup games. I totally love it because we have cashed out about $1000 since the games began. Also, it minimized the losses and everyone goes home happy.

The strategy -  We created one betting account with a local gambling site prior to the World Cup Games. We all contribute equal amount of money to fund the wallet. And using different analysis we place our bets on at least 3 of the world cup games every day.

For me it has a lot of advantages -

- it minimizes losses
- it reduces the chances of being addicted
- it helps to build bonding. We hang out. We watch the game and we have fun.
- We have a budget and we stick to it. It sorts of builds accountability.

Crypto has no bottom and can never be predicted. That is a common mistake we make, we wait for more dips and fail to accumulate at low prices. I missed like this a lot. Most people become extremely worried when prices begin to fall and believe there will be further drops. When the price begins to recover, we end up buying. But when it became affordable, we simply waited. So, you should have your own accumulate zone where you can buy.

The only reasonable investment is bitcoin, more so in the dips. But there is no logical reason to invest in altcoins and bag hold them for long term since they have no real potential. When all the altcoins get is pump and dumps, it is best to treat them as short term risky trades rather than long term investment you should buy and bag hold.

True, and they are a broker, a middle man in this case, so that's why the price is very expensive because they need to make money at $1.5 million.

But then again for us, it's very expensive, and the returns as they have try to put it out will take years for the buyer to recover, so it's not good for them. Anyhow, maybe that initial price can still be bargain for. Best of luck to those who are interested on it.

Yes, no idea about gambling before and I just put money. I forgotten the game that I've played for the first time but I just went with the crowd because they're all on it.
The experience of everyone could be that we all made the same mistakes of betting without knowledge but when we lose and then found it as a fun thing, we started to learn about it.

We also have to consider the quality of opponents Casimero has face in the past as compare to Akaho.

Akaho has failed in this two world championship attempts, while Casimero has been tearing the bantamweight leading to the failed fight against Paul Butler. And John Riel is the younger of the two, the road warrior but obviously the experience goes to Akaho as he has been professional boxers for 17 years as to Casimero's 15. But again as I have said, the key difference is the opponents that they have fought and so I think this is the big advantage for John Riel Casimero to win impressively.

Slot machines are practically the “furniture” that can be found in any Casino anywhere in the world. Slot games are said to have been invented around 1871 in San Francisco.



The first slot machine ever to make its appearance was designed by a man named Charles Fey, and it was first known as the Liberty Bell. Since then, the device has been further developed over the years, and today we have hundreds of exotic games available to be played in slot machines.

Being discussed as a sub topic, yes, but as a main subject? What for? It has nothing much of a contribution to the curriculum. Indeed it is a profitable investment but it won't contribute to your academe, let us deparate that. On economics class or some related subj, it could be used as an example as an asset. There are many forms of investments but why do you guys think only a few (yes including real estate properties), were brought up? Because not all investments are beneficial to the society. Bitcoin at this moment is volatile and free of tax, how will it contribute then?  It has advantages as a currency indeed but let us be realistic.

I think you've got the answer to your own question.
Don't just look at the growth of bitcoin without taking into account the risks it brings. Your home doesn't increase in value, but at least it's safe for you and real estate is considered the safest asset. For bitcoin, it might give you 3 other houses but could make you homeless in the future.
Don't and absolutely must not do that, invest with money that can be lost and make sure it doesn't affect your family's life.

Kudos to you for this reminder! Many might not appreciate it but I do, and it would go a long way in reminding people or even educating the newbies about the susceptibility of the internet and their crypto assets.

I was a victim some years ago, if I had read a thing like this, perhaps it would have helped me to decide better then. And more reason why I appreciate this is that recently, just last month, my gut feeling pushed me to open a third-party link which is against my usual practice. But thank God it's not harmful.

This reminder boosts my ability to resist such temptation. We are all human beings and our weaknesses could strike at any time.
