You might want to post your proof links again to somewhere else as all of them are "502 Bad Gateway". Also move to scam accusations.

It's really hard to say anything about your case without proof, but memefying your serious accusations into nick doesn't really give me good impression and i am almost certain that there are not going to be racist bone on those proofs even before seeing them.

I would totally block someone if they turned tech glitch issue to racism accusations. There are real people working behind help desks and they don't have to take all the crap.

Keep in mind before you play that this KYC is mandatory for the casino, as said by @Yogee so I think please reconsider before trying to play because at the beginning you must have KYC it is clear to forum users here that is not what is wanted. If you can make revisions, then providing a withdrawal limit for non-KYC users like other casinos, for example "max withdrawal of $1000/day is far from being considered.
Well least they are upfront about it. I am more annoyed by casinos who are advertising "absolutely no kyc ever". That's a sign of unregulated casino and i don't feel comfortable to deal with them. After all we are not in 2016 anymore. Back then cryptos weren't being taken seriously and there was no kyc almost anywhere. And looks like some of the casinos want to ride with that old school idealism.

I'll settle for "no kyc until we need it." No one really says that but that's basically what most are offering. And i doubt i would keep too much crypto in unregulated casino. But at the same time i might not give my kyc to brand new casino either if it doesn't have a good track record yet.

I don't want to get my id sold in black market. (even though it might be there already)
1663  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can NFTs last forever? on: June 01, 2023, 10:13:49 PM
You can never own an NFT, especially when its data is stored on a centralized server. Maybe that's not the case with Ordinals inscriptions (BRC-20)? I don't get why there's a lot of hype surrounding NFTs, when they could easily fade into oblivion. They're not something you can touch or truly own like a physical collectible.

I know Blockchain is the future, but it's not meant to be used for everything. There are millions of NFTs that could bloat popular Blockchain networks if they become a big hit. BTC experienced high fees because of this, as well as, ETH itself. Moving data into a decentralized cloud storage solution may not be enough to improve NFTs as a whole. This is just starting to blossom, so I'd give more time to see what happens. Just my thoughts Grin
Like i already said, you don't own the picture but you own the link.

Concept of owning nfts is debatable becayse it all comes to definition of digital "owning". You don't own the files in a classical sense, and that wouldn't even make sense. You however own the rights to trade it for example. And if we are talking about current usecases, there are now over 10 million reddit nft avatar holders.

There are non-nft avatars in reddit too that you can use to build your avatar. But if you are using NFTs to build your avatar, you can get some rare ones that are very much wanted.

If you are wearing nft avatar you can choose what parts you are wearing from it, and you can combine different nfts. NFT avatars shows up differently and you can't fake wearing them. Those are freely traded in opensea and i think it's one of the first actually cool adopted usecases for nfts. You "own" those NFTs as long reddit is alive and i am thinking it will definitely last for several generations.

And NFTs are just starting, now there is ERC-6551 coming and that's unlocking ton of new possibilities. But i'll wait for it to be tested before i'll get too ecxited
1664  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is hodling top 10 Marketcap coins a good tactic? on: June 01, 2023, 09:51:23 PM
Each trader has their own strategy, as well as the top 10 coinmarketcap altcoin hold strategy,
yes that's not wrong because the top 10 have fundamentals that you can't doubt, so your investment will be safe in your wallet,
but to get a high ROI it's not possible we get there because the ROI of the top 10 is already very high.
You can definitely doubt the fundamentals of top 10 coins. Bitconnect was once one of them. So was Luna. And those are quite recent. Back in time there were coins that didn't win the adoption game on the top.

-cut-
People who are investing in altcoins should really be aware of the risks involved so that they don't blame it on Bitcoin, because that's what most people do; they can have bad experiences with altcoins and blame it on Bitcoin.
I would say that they are aware of the risks. Most people are just investing more they can lose even if they are aware of those risks.
There are ton of gambling addicts trading and using markets as their live casino that's based on real world events.

From face value it looks like the strategy does not work...However, if you were to compare entry points over 2 - 4 years, you will see that in this period of time that you can't lose. Unfortunately, DCA'ing $1-$10 might not help you to achieve astounding wealth like 2020 and beforehand. There is still opportunity though. DCA $50-$500 a week diversified into the top 10-20 will still yield fantastic returns over the next 2-3 years.

So, is holding top 10 market cap coins a good tactic? In the long run, definitely. The better tactic is to dollar-cost average weekly in addition to long-term holding.
DCA only works if your coin is not going to die. If it is you are slowly losing just more and more money.
1665  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Security Token Offerings (STOs): Hype or down of decentralized fundraising? on: June 01, 2023, 09:36:15 PM
Securities are a different thing then utility tokens, even though the fundraising or "offering" method has been same. Mostly those are legal nightmare and tokens in their current form doesn't really suit for securities.
Yes, by definition security tokens are different than utility tokens. I am completely aware of that fact. But does it change the modus Operandi? No!

Coin creators are constantly finding new ways to lure investors in. But what's the end game? Sell coins and wait for them to be listed in a CEX/DEX. The majority of the time, creators sell their own holdings and get out with fat profits while the common investors like us rot in hell.
Agreed on that. I was amazed when people were doing IEOs and IDOs etc, while saying same time that ICOs were such a scam. They were somehow totally unaware how that sounded. And obviously STOs even though no one seemed to understand why and how it was even legal. If i recall correctly some did anon STOs Cheesy. That point it was obvious that only few seemed even understand what real securities are.

I personally hold millions of dead tokens which have no value at today's date.
You and me both Smiley.

Somehow i am still annoyed that some of my wallets are filled with dead tokens forever if i don't burn them. Some of them are just advertisement spam though. And those dead tokens are showing in my portfolio app forever if those apps don't delist them.
1666  Economy / Economics / Re: Which stocks to buy? on: June 01, 2023, 09:24:42 PM
I think it is a bit more about the story behind it and how big it become as well. I think Tesla became huge during a recent period, it wasn't just that much of a big company and slowly it got bigger and bigger and bigger. This is why I believe that we are talking about something that gets a lot of love from a lot of people. I know that it is not going to be easy for everyone to accept what it is right now and it is too overhyped and it is too overpriced but that doesn't change the fact that it got so much attention very recently.

It has been just 3-5 years and that means it is a recent hyped thing and everyone wants a part of it. I do enjoy investing into big companies, big companies usually do well, not all the time but usually, and I understand the logic behind it.
Currently Tesla is second most unpopular automotive company in US (Chrysler most unpopular) so i don't know there you are getting that feel of love. Yeah, automotive companies in US are pretty popular in general but still. And i agree it got hyped fast, faster then people realizing that those cars were overhyped. Even i was planning to buy one and thought bad reviews were just normal fud for distruptive tech. Then i kept on reading and realized that those cars were overhyped and might end up being nokia of car companies. Fast rising star that didn't quite keep up with the other companies.

Also most CEOs out there don't try to actively ruin their reputation, this and upcoming lawsuits against the CEO scares off big investors.

-cut-
But why here now on this forum platform? Are you thinking about investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for the long-term, or has someone you know or a friend told you to learn about Bitcoin? Because if you ask me, it's definitely better to invest here than in stocks, just in my opinion.
I am thinking that OP might have seen synthetic stocks in some crypto exchanges and is talking about those. Not real stocks.

1667  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: There are a lot of scams on Twitter, and illegal links steal your assets. on: June 01, 2023, 08:03:15 PM
A few days ago, I saw a KOL with a large number of fans on Twitter. He was recommending a project recommended by many KOLs. As long as he followed his guidelines, he could get more airdrop tokens. As a result, when I clicked on the link, connect When my little fox wallet is signed and confirmed, my assets will be reset to zero. I checked the data on the chain, and in a short period of time, he actually defrauded more than 20,000 US dollars in digital currency, which is terrible.
Even old dogs like me have been scammed like this, and i am shamed to say recently. Not trough Twitter (because i don't trust anyone in twitter). But trough a bounty group i trusted (that's still active). I thought that they picked quality projects and had done their research so i wouldn't have to but it turned out they promoted just anyone who paid.

I didn't lose much but i was amazed that i still after all these years fell into that without thinking twice.

But just as a rule of thumb, don't click anything in telegram or twitter. They are just full of bots and spammers, and now with ton of verified fake accounts.
1668  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: AI Coins Speculation on: June 01, 2023, 04:19:49 PM
Again that's not the point.  It's about finding the latest narrative in crypto, look at their price action and trading them to increase our bankrolls.  And AI is gonna be a huge thing with crypto the perfect spawning pool for these start ups to acquire some money to jump start their projects.  And since there's gonna be a looot of hype on AI, it's going to make another echo bubble.  Question is when and how big could the bubble get.  Wink
While a lot of folks are waiting for DeFi summer, NFT summer, memecoin summer...  It could be AI summer.
As always not financial advice.
I wouldn't go that far as calling anything AI summer, as that's considered to be longer bull market than any theme based trend. And i definitely would call this a gimmick, i can't see any use for blockchain in AI so this is all meme to me, same as pepe and inu copies out there trying to ride the wave and end up making their own tiny pump & dumps.

NFTs however were whole new thing and i definitely would call that NFT summer. The amount of people it lured in was massive. And it's still not over by a long shot as new erc protocols for non-fungibles are coming.

In my opinion, AI coin still has the potential to be bullish, especially since Elon Musk also always tweets about AI, and makes the price of AI coins pump.
My recommendation for AI Coin is OCEAN, because if I compare it with other AI coins, OCEAN is one that is still at a DIP price, so why not just invest in OCEAN.
Tweets of Elon Musk or any other influencer are the worst idea to make decisions about investments imho. If you want to chase the moonrocket, you will always be late. So i recommend finding your own moonrocket, that influencers haven't found yet.

This article are drumming up a lot of unrelated stories without actual proof that Stake.com are involved in any shady activities to promote VPN use. I even see someone trying to bait Eddie in his stream to say something about VPN use, but Eddie does not fall for nonsense like that.... when the mods muted the chat user for spamming, he just popped up under a new Alt user... and continued doing that.  Roll Eyes
I agree, but just like Kingrojie said in the article: "career destruction and mental health breakdown".

I feel for Kingrojie i do, but if someone is not accepting that they make a mistake, having a breakdown and losing a job can be hard to face. One often looks reasons from elsewhere so they don't have to face themselves and their own mistakes. This causes obsession to find the reason elsewhere. It can be borderline delusional because nothing is more difficult then looking at the mirror and owning their mistakes.

Kingrojie feels betrayed and that's understandable, and he has every right to feel that way, but this seems like destructive and unproductive way. If he really is looking for legal way, i hope that he knows that law can go both ways and staying away from slandering might be a smarter way.
1670  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A opinion on regrets on: May 31, 2023, 11:19:10 PM
We regret about missing Bitcoin, then about XRP then about Ethereum then Doge then Shiba then Pepe (these are some top of my head and from what I've come across in my crypto term).

Point being there are always new opportunities and dwelling on regrets is futile.
Only after you miss out many moon shots and invest to many scams and failures, you'll start to realize that there will be lots of opportunities and you really can't think of the missed changes as you know they might as well been scams. I have invested to many profitable moon shots, and some of them i sold at the right time, some too early and some too late. Some i invested too little to make me rich.

I would make same mistakes again since i have learned very little. I only know that you can't predict the right time to enter or exit. If that happens to you, you have been lucky.

ICO, IDO, IEO, STO - these are all same processes under different naming just to fool people. The end goal is to sell coins and make money. The modus operandi doesn't change with the name. These are all fundraising techniques to make it relevant with time. Nothing else!
Securities are a different thing then utility tokens, even though the fundraising or "offering" method has been same. Mostly those are legal nightmare and tokens in their current form doesn't really suit for securities.

When the only purpose of the coin is to escape regulations, this happens. And honestly this probably will be EU wide, these things just take time and law proceeds slowly. And i can actually see this happening to every FATF member country. Funny thing is that these coins wouldn't need to be full blanket anon, they just choose to do it as it's their ideology. ZK proofs could be so much more and fix actual existin problems like kycs. But these guys just want full anonymity and that will most likely be their doom.

Obviously they can't stop the coins themselves, those probably will keep get traded at least for a while, just not in exchanges. And with less volume and liquidity.
1673  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are BRC-20 stablecoins the next big thing? on: May 31, 2023, 10:40:37 PM
There's a new stablecoin "in town" that goes by the name of Stably. It's a BRC-20 token issued on the main Bitcoin blockchain. I believe it's the first kind of stablecoin to be ever released on BTC. I'm not sure if it'll be backed by Bitcoin itself, but at least, Bitcoiners can now use stablecoins without having to move to another chain. The downside of this is that it will increase on-chain fees by a large margin. It's an Ordinals inscription after all. Would you imagine USDT, USDC, and other stablecoins launching their BRC-20 version on the BTC blockchain? It would be a complete disaster! The idea is cool, but it's best to move everything else to a separate chain or off-chain scaling solution to keep BTC fast and cheap for everyone to use.

What are your thoughts? Are BRC-20 stablecoins the next big thing? If not, why? Do you think BTC will be able to survive a flood of BRC-20 stablecoin transactions in the long run? What do you think about Stably? Will it have a future? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley
I can't see many good outcomes for this. I mean it's nice that bitcoin gets developed but this seems like a sure way to get the chain clogged. Also, how long does it take that bitcoin gets own version of shiba-inu or pepe, or any meme token really and then crap would really hit the fan. Maybe i don't understand the tech well enough but i don't believe that bitcoin was build to handle this. Someone can correct me because i want to believe that this is good for bitcoin.

Your "coin" doesn't seem to have clear purpose or whitepaper.

I mean i can read that at some point in the future you can earn it by doing micro tasks and you can buy "goods and services" with it.
But that could mean anything so maybe elaborate on that. It's very much different to invest into exchange coin that is used to cut fees, then invest to exchange coin that can be used for IEOs like in binance, if the amount used will get burned or if it pays dividends. I for one wouldn't buy exchange token that's only being used for fees and most likely put back to market after that. You need a clear plan for it.

I paid for Delta App Pro, long time ago but at the time i didn't have use for it that much. As i wasn't active trader and just watching portfolio can be fun but at the same time very opposite of relaxing.

Automatic wallet tracking on multiple wallets etc sounds cool but there were lots of little bugs at the time that made it pointless to pay more for features that weren't really ready.
I would still recommend free version of Delta App to check it out, and who knows, maybe they got their gliches fixed already.

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan,Latvia, Lithuania,Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Korea etc have been supporting the Ukraine.

My question now is how long will these powerful countries keep backing russia and ukraine before it decisively eventuate to world war |||?
Powerful countries? Everything else than China on that list are third world countries compared to countries backing Ukraine.

Third world war would be close if USA would withdraw from Nato or that alliance would fall apart somehow. After that there would be less deterrent keeping Russia in check.
Russia would definitely try to push some buttons like see what happens if they "accidentally" violated some airspaces again, and some other tactics they have tried before.

No it's not like Aliexpress, it has much better quality stuff made in Japan and they are using multiple websites for that, with quality shipping and insurance.
Everything is on much higher level than on Aliexpress, and I can say that because I used both services.
Japan makes much better quality stuff and it's not easy to find this for western people, even harder to buy something for Bitcoin... Aliexpress junk is available everywhere.
Alipay exist because people from China also want high quality stuff Wink
That's what my first thought was. Alipay often gives me total garbage, while japan regulations and consumer protection make this an interesting choice if i want to buy something exotic and weird clothes and food (all japanese things are weird to me)..

Also i love the fact that i can pay ALV in advance. I got trouble when i bought something expensive from etsy and got a message from a delivery company that i need to pay amount that was so high i wasn't prepared for just to get my package to eu or they won't deliver.

1678  Economy / Economics / Re: Will chatgpt really destroy the job market? on: May 30, 2023, 09:40:44 PM
Since ChatGPT was launched in November last year, this AI technology has created a huge response across the globe.  This technology has gained so much popularity that people are using this technology in almost every field. Any math can be easily solved through this technology, any unknown matter can be easily known through this technology, so there is a lot of doubt in everyone's mind about this technology that this technology will destroy the job market or not? 

When asked about this, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the technology will never destroy the job market. Rather, this technology will solve things that people never know about.  Since all tasks can be solved easily through this technology, this bot system may be used instead of humans in various work fields. 
If this technology is used in the workplace, many people will lose their jobs.
Sam Altman either specifically mean Chat GPT with that "technology" and not AI in general, or he is so out of touch what sort of jobs people are going. Because AI will revolutionize everything in a way we don't even grasp yet. In good and bad, but i am afraid that if it won't be regulated, the impact will affect so fast that we don't know what hit us and we have to fix our society suitable for GPT and AI afterwards.

Because, sure, this tech "will solve things we never even knew about", but it most likely creates ton of new problems we haven't foreseen yet. Do we trust black box AI to solve those issues as well? If people think that internet polarizing people and everyone living bubbles was hard to see beforehand. It will be peanuts to what blind trust to AI with closed source does.

If you want to give yourself something to think about, read "The Loop: How Technology Is Creating a World Without Choices and How to Fight Back" by Jacob Ward
It was written before chatgpt was a thing and it mostly talks about algorithms and how they make choices for us. Title is little bit preachy and biased but in overall that was most interesting book i read last year.

Well, I bought some fractions of Bitcoin at the price of $30K, ETH at $2,100 but unfortunately they have been going downward since then. The bearish trend in the whole market is still prevailing, which greatly impacts on coin prices. Despite the bear market, Bitcoin is still holding on its ground with its price not fluctuating over the top. However, the altcoins are becoming more volatile than before and I begin to doubt whether investing in altcoins is a wise choice. Did you invest in altcoins ? What do you think of the current altcoin market ? Please let me know.
I am not certain that i understand you. You don't wan't to invest into altcoins because they are volatile? For most of us that's the main reason we are buying them. If you want something to moon hard it needs to be very volatile. If you are looking for something more stable you should play at traditional markets and be happy with 5% -5% movements.

At the moment i am out of all crypto and waiting for my the entry point for high leverage trade.
1680  Economy / Economics / Re: Logic of life on: May 30, 2023, 07:33:49 PM
The logic of life is that you can't earn more than you know,
Any amount you are earning today is 80% as a limit of what you know.

The richest man on earth is earning whatever amount he is earning due to the advantage of  what he knows or  can do.

So, before you can move from earning $100 dollar monthly to $1000 per month,
   One of the major thing you must scale up is your knowledge.

So ask yourself, what should I know that can make me ×2 my monthly income?

Seek knowledge always.
Are you seriously claiming that people who earn most, are most knowledgeable persons? That's just not true, and what are you basing your maths on?

I mean it's smart to read a lot but knowledge doesn't guarantee you success, nor your iq. Being smart and fast learner can land you basically any job you want.
But if you are from wrong economic background, you have a trauma, mental health issues, you are on the spectrum or anything really.
The fact that you are smart and knowledgeable can just compensate for that you can keep your head on the surface and not drown.

Also you can be stupid and still end up insanely rich. Let's say that you inherit millions, bet them on the market, surround yourself with people who are useful to you. That can take you very far
If you are lucky, you can end up being the richest man in the world just because your insticts were right.

Also being ruthless liar with moral ambiguity is a recipe for success. And if you are a psychopath it will most likely will be good for your career.
