Really? A socialist measure is going to destroy a sector? Not a chance. It's like all those companies that have been fleeing states like California or NY to Texas, Florida or Tennessee because they are crazy or something and don't realize how good the high taxes, excessive regulations, legal uncertainty, tolerance of crime and the like are.

I remember years ago there was an EU project to require every user to identify themselves to access online social networks that could include forums, and theymos said something like that he was not going to pay any attention if a "Bolshevik" EU requirement came for that. In view of what's happened recently, I am not so sure what he would do now if such a requirement came, especially from the USA.

No, I don't think it's that anonymous and I don't think people will blame that other campaign manager. If I had to bet on someone I would bet on my current campaign manager Little Mouse, as it is widely known that Royse777 and him are friends, and when Royse777 talks about "the" other campaign manager I think it is clear who he is talking about.

But I doubt that many people will blame him, since at least in public he keeps away from any controversy. I don't remember him intervening when I had big arguments with Royse777 neither in icopress or Gazeta vs Royse, or in other controversies.

I agree. I think the strike is one of the reasons for the decline. Another could be tax day, as DaveF points out, but I think another important one is the recent inflation data in the USA that changed the expectations about the rate policy, and that has affected the markets in general.

Lol.

Why don't these things surprise me?

I suppose theymos didn't have enough technical knowledge to see that Jambler is a mixer and these three have enlightened him?  

Anyway, I don't want to get too much into this, I already had enough with one of the protagonists back in the day and another one I have him on ignore.

This is further evidence that they have been caught and now they are trying to hide it. You're not overthinking anything, it's okay to keep an eye on them and realize this.

I think he/she/they have adopted the strategy of keeping a low profile to try to keep it from going any further.

You start from a false premise, there's a real world out there outside the calculations, you know? Bitcoins lost are no longer in circulation, so we have probably already reached that percentage, but as we cannot calculate those lost with certainty we cannot speak with certainty about the percentage of Bitcoins in circulation.

Celebrities who play poker are often the sucker at the table, even if they don't think so themselves. They are people who earn their main income in other ways and who have some idea of playing poker but they aren't nearly as good as professional players, who are happy to invite them. For the industry in general it's also good because it's good publicity.

I think quite similar to davis196.

1. None.

2. If new casino tokens are released, I would expect to see a rise due to the novelty, but I would not put much hope in it in the long term. If casinos release them, it is because they are profitable for them, not necessarily because they are profitable for customers. The only sense I see in acquiring it is for the advantages it gives in the casino, but even so, with the destruction of value in the long term I think they are not worth it.

3. The long term trend for those crappy tokens will be to go down, but with the bull market they may have some upside moments.

So what if it doesn't mention it? It's bullshit for you to say it's a scam because it doesn't explicitly mention halvings in the white paper. What are you expecting? That we call you a genius for saying that nonsense?

It's not going to succeed. Anything that puts barriers in the way of people spending money goes against business. Has it ever happened to you to go to buy something online, have a problem and they ask you to put your card numbers back in or something, and you decide not to make the purchase? If I want to play poker, I see this site, I think about depositing and playing, but I see that for that I have to buy a shitcoin that I do not have, it is quite likely that I will not deposit and instead go to a site that accepts Bitcoin or a fiat one.

For me, if we are talking about gambling strictly as casino games it is a hobby that I know makes me lose money on net in the long run. When I have tried casino games it is more to get to know the rooms and the gambling industry than because I think it is a good way to win money. Playing poker I have been making regular extra income for many years, but we winning poker players don't usually call our activity gambling although strictly speaking it would be gambling.

So how did you end up teleporting there? You didn't seem to think very highly of that forum at first, from what you said in this very thread. I imagine you got a good deal on your signature.

At this point I could care less what the Fed does. For starters the CPI is a manipulated index. Also, no matter how much interest rates have been raised, liquidity has not been reduced if at all, as interest rates are not the only way to manage liquidity in the markets. And finally, what is happening is that governments around the world have an insatiable voracity to spend and spend, so central banks have no choice but to print.

What can we do against this? Buy assets, mainly Bitcoin. And forget about the noise.

But I'll tell you what happens with those that pay in Bitcoin because supposedly 1BTC=1BTC. What happens is that if the price of Bitcoin in dollars goes down, or if you prefer, if Bitcoin loses purchasing power, the payment in Bitcoins is the same, so the company actually saves money. And if the Bitcoin price goes up, the rates are adjusted. The only one that endured for a long time without doing this was CM, until it was a scandalous thing, there were jealous people who started to protest and CM ended up paying in dollar equivalence. I am not saying this because of those two in specific, it is what usually happens.


I sometimes look at it in Euros, but mostly in US Dollars. As we have discussed in other threads, the dollar is a depreciating currency, but most of the ones that try to compete against it are much worse. It is still the world's reference currency and the safe haven currency no matter how much people try to say otherwise. Sure it is not as strong as it was 30 years ago but it is nowhere near as bad as it is being portrayed.

Now we will see how the rate policy affects the price evolution, as yesterday's inflation data seems to have a negative impact and, of the 5 rate cuts that were expected for this year, only one is expected in September, but even that could come to nothing and we could go to a rate hike depending on how things go.

Well man, I guess some people will be interested, and that's how I see from the comments, but I think it's just adding to the great offer that usually exists in casinos. As far as I know many of them work as aggregators offering several games from different providers, and the last time I played slots was in Metawin, when I tried the site, and with so much variety I couldn't decide which one to choose. But well, I only play very occasionally. I guess those who show interest are people who like slots a lot and play regularly.

It's not bad, and if you follow it, it is part of good responsible play. You are going to bet a certain amount, and if you lose it, you don't bet any more. If you win, neither, you take the money and leave (contrary to some people who think they are "on a roll" when they win, and continue betting to lose everything and more).


Generally no, because I don't play casino games much, but when I do, it's something like you do.

I think there's no way that's gonna happen. I believe that the balance between potential benefit/drama and protests would be in favor of the latter and, without being perfect, the merit system is fine as it is. So no need for new ideas like this one.

For me all these things are too many red flags that I wouldn't bet a penny on the site. At the very least it looks unprofessional, if not worse. If in general I already prefer to play poker on fiat sites for many reasons rather than crypto, of course on this site my interest is 0.
