If Tony got his salary in Bitcoin when its price was at $1,181 then the guy wouldn't be a millionaire or even close to bein a millionaire even if he had hold his Bitcoin for long term. Yeah, the exception is going to be that if he has got his salary in Bitcoin when Bitcoin's value was still below $30 per coin. He would definitely be somewhat rich these days if he had received his salary when Bitcoin was priced $30 or below and and if he still hold that salary.

I also don't like past regrets because the past is gone and regrets will make someone more mentally depressed rather than helping him/her in any positive way. It's always better to forget the past and thing about the present and future because past is gone is regretting about the gone things is worst type of damage one can give himself/herself.

Well, any VPN when connected to a server is logically changing the geolocation of the user who is using that VPN. I believe that any free VPN available on Chrome web store will do the job for you. I recommend you to just switch to a different VPN and check if the geolocation changes or not. If it remains the same then there's another problem not a VPN related problem but if it changes then that's a VPN problem which gets solved with the change.

I guess that's going to be helpful because the OP didn't mentioned that how he received the mail and from whom did he received that mail. I don't think that such allegations are any new in the sphere of Bitcoin and those type of allegations against Bitcoin will take place every here and there.

I remember that during the times of Russia-Ukraine war such type of false allegations against Bitcoin were raised and now those same people are again raising such allegations to defame Bitcoin. Their main point is to show that Bitcoin is used for crime activities but they never show the truth that fiat and other payment systems are also used for crime activities.

Bitcoin is a payment system and it depends on the users who are part of the payment system. They get their own personal wallets and from those wallets they can send their Bitcoin to anyone they want. Criminals or even laymen can have their Bitcoin wallets and people can have literally millions of wallets without any restrictions. Bitcoin is for everyone, and it is on the mentality of someone that how he/she uses it.

Welcome to the forum and I hope you'll get some good players for your site from here. I recommend you to launch a signature campaign in order to get proper exposure, and additionally you can also launch a review campaign to get some feedback about your platform. The proper marketing is needed to have new players on your platform and this forum is the best place for such marketing.

Your site looks good and I believe it will offer some good services to the members of the forum and surely it's always better to have a announcement thread with proper graphics. The in-house poker sounds great to me, and if international players are allowed to play the poker then that would be a nice thing I guess.

If you are good at trading then you won't need anyone's financial support I guess. A good trader can turn $1 to $1M and that type of thing takes time and understanding of the markets. In crypto-market traders are the bosses themselves and they can really earn a lot of profits if they build a good and working strategy with a proper trading plan.

If you are someone like that then don't ask money from others because no-one will give you their money as it's quite risky to give money to someone who can play with your money. It's far better to arrange $1 to $10 by selling your old stuff and then start trading with that amount. You'll surely learn risk management in the process and who knows you may make good profits if you're really good at trading.

Your offer seems like a scam attempt to me and other members of the forum and that's why suggested you to start with small amount of money and grow it slowly. The compounding thing works for everyone but patience and good understanding of the markets is necessary for it to work. Sorry, if I sound harsh, but I won't lend you even a $1 for your trading purpose because as a trader I know that how volatile is the crypto-market and anyone who trades based on 1-2 factors will end up liquidating the money.

Yeah, support for Bitcoin layers especially Lightning Network is a pretty interesting thing that the owner of the site can implement into the site. Well, I believe that it's okay to have the Bitcoin main network as well and add that LN as an extra payment solution.

In fact I think an altcoin like Monero will also be a good secondary payment solution for the site. As far as I know the OP loves to have a system which works without any KYC restrictions. I guess he also wants everyone to enjoy those games and there isn't any kind of centralized restriction on players.

For such things Monero may work better as users can play without any KYC or centralization burden. I also think that lowering of bet is going to be a good thing for players also for the site. Most of the players like to have smaller bets in initial days and once they check the games with smaller bets then they can place bigger bets as well. like @Fivestar4everMVP suggested, the minimum bet should be below 0.05, however the maximum bet I believe should be around 100$ to 1000$ depending on the budget of the players.

People can use AI text generators like ChatGPT or Google bard to write the posts for them and then they copy/paste those posts on this forum. Actually using of AI is not mainstream due to such platforms and even children can use those platforms without much hassle. But, of course the generated text is not accurate and may misguide others about certain things if they read such posts.

That's a controversial question but surely there is a thread created by @Nutildah where you can see the members who used AI generated posts and they were reported in that particular thread. Here's the link of that thread AI Spam Report Reference Thread

The pros of AI writing systems is that they have learnt their knowledge from huge set of text data and they can write like humans, and another pros of those AI writing systems is that they write with excellent grammar.
The cons of such AI writing systems are a lot. Those systems are somehow helping spammers to get written posts within seconds. The texts they generate are probably unique but they're more like spam.

There are no official rules against AI generated texts as far as I know and there is no such forum policy against such posts but surely the members of the forum don't like to read posts which are generated with AI writing systems and that's why they oppose such posts and report those posts to moderators. It's somehow a type of plagiarism and that's why most members of the forum don't really like to have AI generated threads or posts in this forum. I believe that in future we may have official rules against AI generated texts.


Royse is surely one of the best managers of our forum and I truly respect him and his opinion. He wants to have human written content on the forum and especially he wants human written content from the applicants who participate in the campaigns which he manages. And, for that he prohibits AI written text and if someone uses AI tools to generate texts when he/she is accepted in a campaign that is managed by Royse then that person won't get the payment as Royse's rules and the one who reports such user will receive the pay.

A few weeks ago there was a forum member who was accepted in Royse's managed signature campaign but that guy used AI generated texts in order to fulfil his weekly minimum posts. Someone found that and reported that members and Royse took action against that member by removing him from his signature campaign and gave him penalty of not getting accepted in any of his managed campaigns for a year I think.

When that problem took place it was soon reported in forum and after sometime Theymos posted the poll and in that poll I also participated and I have chosen option 2 as that was the best option so far but even till this day no such thing has happened and most of the images are still coming with that proxy error.

Thumbs up to joker_josue for finding a solution for some of those image proxy error issues by launching TalkImg. Although, the joker_josue's solution is currently working like charm and will continue to work in the same way but unfortunately the old Imgur images are still present in most old threads and haven't been replaced by the OP's of the threads.

I believe that Theymos will soon make some changes in forum and allow users to click on the links of those images which give image proxy error in embedded form. Let's wait for that time and if you still want to view some images of a thread then you can simply quote that thread and you'll see the embedded links in the quote and then you can copy and paste those images to see those images.

I agree with you with all those things that you have mentioned in your thread. I also believe that higher fees can incentivize the miners with better rewards for all the work they're doing for themselves and for Bitcoin community. Without miners we won't be able to do anything with Bitcoin and that's why I believe the high fees are more like thanksgiving to those miners who are doing the hard work of mining and making it easy for us to enjoy Bitcoin transactions.

Surely, the high fees have their own drawbacks but since miners are getting some good pay for their work and that's why we should accept it for the time being. I hope that soon we'll see good fees again and the transactions with low fees will also get accepted sooner than expected. This time the high fees are again on the network because of the ordinal thing but surely if miners are getting rewarded for your work then we should not a say a word in this matter.

I believe that in such times we can choose another altcoin based transactions if the transactions are that necessary and allow Bitcoin network to get stable once again in order to use it. I believe Monero could be a good choice for such times as transactions made with Monero are also decentralized in nature. I also agree that using of LN is another option for us and now LN is getting more widely accepted so it's going to be a good option for us.

Cathie Wood is a smart women and that's why she chose Bitcoin over gold because the potential of growth with Bitcoin is way higher than gold. She said the truth and I agree with that and yes young people love to invest in Bitcoin and hold their investment for long term and in fact if we check the history of Bitcoin then it's confirmed that Bitcoin is far better than gold as an asset.

Bitcoin should not be called as a "Safe Haven" because its value can grow and fall over time. Bitcoin is still very volatile and its value can grow as well as drop to huge percentages. Although, it's still once of the safest investments that promises potential profits to investors who are going to hold it for long term, but still currently it should not be termed as a "Safe Haven" I guess.

When it comes to transparency and decentralization then its somewhat true that Bitcoin has both of those, but unfortunately most people still purchase Bitcoin directly from centralized exchanges and they really don't care about the decentralization feature of it at all. I hope that one day thing will change and people will invest in Bitcoin in decentralized way rather than the traditional centralized way.

Although, I'm a firm supporter of Bitcoin and idea behind it but I don't think it will be a good thing for citizens if a country decides to pay their working population their pension in the form of Bitcoin. The reason for that is the majority of people who are retired or who are getting close to retirement don't know about technical aspects of things and such people can easily be scammed and they may lose their Bitcoin.

Surely, such payments will be good for future generations as people are getting technically good these days due to digital revolution and availability of smartphones but still for current generation of retired workers it isn't going to be helpful. If someone who is good at the technical aspects of the things can have their pension in the form of Bitcoin but still you know the price of Bitcoin fluctuates a lot sometimes and that can be a problem for those retired workers.

The transaction fees are getting crazy and the network is getting highly congested. Fee for low priority transactions is at 146 sat/VB which's crazy and there are more than 210,579 unconfirmed transactions as of time of writing this post. I think the useless ordinals are causing harm to Bitcoin network once again and the dam ordinals problem isn't solved yet.

Yeah, I have seen your posts and I can surely say that you don't really post in order to reach your min or max campaign posts requirements and I believe that you enjoy posting more and surely most of your posts are highly constructive without any doubt.

Yeah, it's quite annoying to give time to a thread and read most of its posts and when writing your post the thread gets locked by the OP. Although, that never happened with me but I can feel that how annoying it could be.

Well, the forum is intended to be used with Java Script and most of the functions of the forum will work when you enable the Java Script. A user has to face some issues if he/she disables Java Script and I don't think that anyone is going to work on the code of the forum on only to make it workable for non-Java Script users, but if someone makes that then that would be a good thing for Java Script disabled users.

I would like to know that for what reason you have disabled your Java Scripts? Is it for security purposes or something else? Like decodx said you should remove users from ignore list and then read their messages. It's not worth it to ignore a users who may post valuable stuff that you want to view. But, when it comes to a fix then I think that show/hide link of the ignored users can be fixed by someone who is good at html.

I often read 1-3 pages of a thread before posting but sometimes when I feel that I can give my opinion and that would be helpful for others then I don't really go through all previous posts. It's someone's own preference to either go directly with a reply or read others posts before posting a reply.

I believe that in some posts it's highly needed to go through others posts but when you're sure that you can write a valuable reply post then I don't think it's necessary to read previous posts. Let's take this thread as example, I have gone through most of the posts before posting my reply but that thing isn't needed in most other posts.

I don't think that it's needed to send a PM to the campaign manager for such things because they already have a lot of work to do and sending them such PM's isn't needed. Some members in a campaign post more the the needed maximum posts of a campaign and in those cases managers often ignore low quality posts and pay an applicant for the posts which are good in quality.

I'm very thankful to Royse and tumbler team for accepting me in their awesome review campaign. I have tested the tumbler mixer and posted my genuine feedback and review about it. I confirm that I have received my 50% discount code in PM. Thanks once again to Royse and tumbler team for giving me the opportunity to test one of the best mixers in Bitcoin world.

You're absolutely right! Yeah, it isn't hard anymore to build one's own casino  these days but growing it is pretty hard and you're right the competition is tough for new casinos as the old giant casinos have been on the market for quite some time now and they are spending millions on marketing only.

Like you said, I have also see many good casinos that were built very professionally but had way less active players then expected. I believe marketing these days is more important than creation of a casino and for marketing a casino has to spend way more than what was invested during building of the casino.

I believe that even marketing on this forum costs around $500 to $5000 per week depending on the number of participants a casino accepts. The other platform or we can say social media influencers charge way more than 10's or participants in on forum signature campaigns. A casino has to allocate a lot of money for marketing purpose and if there is no marketing then there are no players.

I never dreamed about having my own casino but if I can get my own casino then it's always going to be a good thing for me. Now a days, it isn't that hard to have one's own casino but still initial investment is required to have a proper casino which may have some active players.

The worst thing of this time is that the casinos must have some type of license to work and unfortunately I think that's not needed that much. The games are widely available by game providers which a new casino can implement into their platform, but I still believe that the ones who build their own games will have priority over the others.

Man, that would be the best day of our life when we see Bitcoin at $250k a coin in year 2025. I think Bitcoin might reach $130k per coin in 2025 but men I wish my prediction to go wrong and instead of reaching $130k Bitcoin may reach $250k and the words from your mouth may become a realty.

I haven't heard about Tony Vaughn before this post but as far a I know that Bitcoin's price was still over $13 a single Bitcoin and if that person might have hold his Bitcoin then he would be a millionaire right now. If we think about that in logical perspective then we get the answer that the guy didn't hold his Bitcoin because he received his Bitcoin as salary and mostly we spend our salary on the things that we like and that guy might has converted his Bitcoin into fiat so he could purchase the things that he needed during those days.
