Recently I saw the 25 substituting double O in google while searching for a picture of an Elephant today. Google has been great in optimizing the usage of the internet as a search engine. With its numerous security and privacy flaws on users, many switched to different and more private search engines. Yet they remain the best for marketers. Its numerous marketing tools like adsense, adwords, etc have helped in boosting the reach of potential clients for businesses and companies. Google is the mother of the internet, everything almost revolves around them, people use google chrome, gmail, google cloud services, keyword research tools etc to better their internet experience. And indeed, I can't be excluded among these users, which many of us still falls as a client in one of their multiple services. They have so much power and influence allocated to them on the internet. Site owners want to rank on google to yield traffic. Hence, google is our friend. I'd want google to reduce its updating speed and also make it easier for sites to rank on first page. People can't understand how the ranking algorithm work these days, whether through guest posts, high DA backlinks or top notch quality niche contents, these methods still may not rank a website in today's google ranking analysis.

At some point, not now, I'd switch to private search engines and leave google, because of the way it rough handles people's data to feed advertisers. If google is 25 I've been using them for 25 years too, lol. I don't know how long I've been using them, but its been quite a long journey using google.

They are two ways to almost every investment technique. In bitcoin, investors and traders play smart to make profits. While the holders don't bother about selling to buy cheaper, others sell to multiply their holding when the price gets smaller. With your technique of not selling, you're faced with long term profits. But if a person sold their coin and kept the fiat intact to buy double of their asset it can be more profitable than holding during the bull run and watch the price run low in bear market. In essence, the above idea of buying cheaper is also valid because the worth of bitcoin tagged to dollar, changes. The disadvantage of that like you pointed, lies on the outcome of bitcoin during the bull run. A trader might sell when the percentage is about to increase more and more. That's actually a huge loss for a person who sold at a specific high amount to buy cheaper. With Ognasty's method being for people who have accumulated a good number of bitcoin, the contrary method can be endorsed or utilized by those that wants to increase the number of bitcoin they're holding, then repeat and rinse during another bull run.

Well said, if Op is a senior member, it doesn't make him beyond or above mistakes. No one knows how he got himself into such a mess. Since no possible method can retrieve his funds, the only help we can render him is, talking him out of his suicidal thoughts. This is what is most important in his life right now. Depression can lead him to think abstractly. I'd add that Op should not see himself as a complete failure. He can start all over again, and see better rewards in his life. He fell victim to some coin sweepers that gained control of his wallet and took everything in it. What a bad experience, yet it's not the end. Good opportunities still awaits Op if only he can withstand this few months of suffering and stress.

Many victims can fall for this because of their reaching out method. They do it gradually and invest enough time to convince their victims. A lot of inexperienced online gamblers would lose money and ID cards to these people. They don't do any review check on the site, know if it's registered or licensed, their location whether offshore or not. Although, these people invest more time and dedication in finding victims, they still get tired if no one falls for them. That's why people should remain updated and smart ahead of these scammers. If not they'll still stick around and come with new technique that's not quite different from their previous moves. These KYCs are being sold to the wrong hands, but the owners of the ID or documents don't get penalize if the buyers use for illicit things. However, the disturbance or being called by the police is also stressful. Because the police or law enforcement agency are aware of the ongoing sales of leaked documents flooding all over the internet. They carryout background checks and will find that the victim is innocent and may have left their persornal information on the wrong hands. The problem still lies on the fact these victims at the cost of looking of quick profits will definitely be scammed. The available of review sites, is to reduce scam, yet their activities flourish because people don't use them or don't know about the existence of such sites.

Congrats, I looked through the site and found the enormous amount of games there, I didn't signup. But tried to ask, via live chat, the support team some question about the casino, but it doesn't load till now. What could be wrong with the live chat page, because I have not joined the website, I'd want to know about the blockchain page I saw on your website. Is it a list of cryptocurrency you accept or blockchain games? However, welcome here, having publicity all over the internet would help disseminate 9G casino to more potential players, especially on this forum.


Where you operating without a license? If yes, that means you've got some loyal players on the casino that trusted the site despite the fact it's not licensed. Definitely, players would crawl into the casino and play with full trust. Obtaining license from Curacao is fine and would boost the reach of your casino, as players like myself check these things before using any casino. Adding more games to the existing ones in the casino is also a welcome development as lots of these games are already played too much and no longer enjoyable. It's relevant to test new games, while playing we enjoy them, regardless of win or loss.

I think every other investor had similar intention like OP, to take profits once it pumps. The price value of the token is declining, people are selling. In purchasing crypto, you must be careful and do it with an established coin. This rollbit token is just growing and its performance is questionable, regardless of the number of users or gamblers who are investing into the token. Like you said casino token is risky, the whole point of pumping rollbit token is to keep it on a trending radar, for buyers to see. And you, op, fell on same category with such buyers, that's why you feel the pump is a lost opportunity. Why not invest now and see the result for yourself. At first, when you saw the coin's growth, the bearish season ran across your mind. That would have been the best time to invest, then participate in the profits that followed afterwards. Every coin is risky and unpredictable, not just casino coins. Personally, I don't have any plan for casino coins because it's mainly dependent on the casino, if the platform has a problem in future their coin will suffer too.

Australia is saving her citizens from falling into a pool of debts, through gambling addiction. The best thing for them is this decision, because two problems are at stake here; gambling and debt addiction.  How do you expect one to escape such addictions. Debt addiction is very bad to anybody, especially those who use the loan to fund gambling activities. The blame, yes, goes to the gambler, but if you have taken loan frequently, you'd notice how your life would almost depend borrowing money. Even though you payback those funds. The only means of saving yourself from such problem is by terminating the source of the loans. Which method the Australian government used in saving her citizens from two addictions. It's a good thing for both those who gamble responsibly with borrowed funds, because they're at risk of accumulating debts. Playing games with credit cards are quite bad, for any player, the fun disappears immediately. If you win, the money goes back to replenish the debts and if you lose the problem continues to pile up. Think deep into it, and you'll understand that banning credit card gambling is a very nice and smart move from the Australian government.

It also affects the way we save money, if a person spends using credit card, in a mall, it disorganizes savings plan. Going out with a few amount in our pocket, limits our spending, but on a credit card, it pushes the shopper to buy what they don't need and more. Same is applicable to gambling, continuously playing with credit card doesn't help the gambler by any means.  S/he would spend more time chasing losses, expecting to hit big and balance their debts.  

Setting up a business with both savings and loan, won't be a bad idea. The great point of running an existing business is twisting the business to a direction that is not existing already. Many small scale business owners make the mistake of doing exactly what others are doing. It will affect, negatively, the growth of the business, because customers are fed up with seeing same old stuffs.  The law of diminishing return comes to play for such a business. So, if a business starter is targeting on taking a loan to run a business, they must endeavor to be sure about what they're doing. Hence, borrowing money to run a business that'll fail or fall in few months isn't encouraged. It's better to use our savings to try out the business, if it fails then we are not in a big trouble of paying back to anybody. As for small business ideas, I'd suggest farming agricultural products. Food is always on demand and the world currently needs farmers to produce more food. It's simple to get a land on lease, to farm crops like pepper, vegetables, potatoes etc and harvest during the harvesting season, then sell in bulk to gain profits. Start gradually to master how it works, what works and the crops, that's mostly needed by sellers. However, if farming is difficult to run, then reselling farm products online is also great, it doesn't require a shop, just a page, where you make posts and publish everyday. Soon customers will begin to creep into your dm for smooth deals.

The risk of running a business on social media is quite minimal, it's only painful to lose an account after growing it for years or months. That's the only risk attributed to such business ideas. So, social media managers should be careful and follow the terms and condition of any online platform where they're promoting the business. But for printing services, it's not just ventured out of ignorance, the best hands are required to operate those machines, to reduce errors and extra expenses. Business is risk, what matters is finding ways to reduce those risk and fetch ourselves more profits. 

Being addicted to a good living is not bad, despite the fact that too much of everything is bad. Gambling addiction is bad especially when it’s in excess in the player’s life. I don’t know how to differentiate from our hearts and mind, but it’s true that we can change our actions so far we want to. Gambling addicts don’t work toward changing their lifestyle because they don’t notice it. The people around them feel it for them. Hence, the change is mainly enforced by the people around them. If the gambler feels a remorse about what’s happening in his life and wishes to correct their gambling attitude, they can change and reduce their rate of gambling. The changing process for each addicted gambler can be different in time and behavior. But the main aspect of it relies on the rate the person gambles; time and money. They only need to reduce the rate and channel their thoughts on other aspects of life. Since it’s a mental disorder to some extent, the process, which may seem simple, becomes so difficult. Gamblers are now advised not to participate too much in gambling, not to get addicted due to the suffer it infects on their family like in OP’s case. Many people live with it till old age and pass it down to their kids. OP is quite lucky he escaped gambling addiction by not following his father’s footsteps. This boils down to your statement about people being able to change. Op saw that his father’s addiction is not good and he decided to change himself and everyone around him, even he extended the change to forum members. Change is difficult. Yet it takes less than 5 seconds to swap our bad gambling behavior to a responsive gambling attitude.

I’ve been used to seeing “hodl” and it’s not a permanent technique, a person can hold for a specific period of time to make profits and then sell their coins. So, it’s different from marrying your bag, which I’m seeing for the first time, in a brief understanding of what you mean by that phrase  it means holding forever with no intention of selling, unless when u divorce your bag that’s why I quoted the whales, because they held for a long period of time, today they’re enjoying profits. In today’s market, people are advised to hold, so they can make profits in the market. Nobody knows what the long term outcome of bitcoin will be, hence marrying it isn’t talked much, could be why I've not been seeing it too. Remember that these whales got bitcoin almost free and mined easily with a pc, it contributed to the long term holding of their bag without any thought of selling. The price today is expensive and people will definitely need their funds for other things, only a few investors can forget 100k dollars invested in bitcoin and not require it in the nearest future. Unlike the whales that bought in 2010. Same is applicable to the altcoins you mention, if Satoshi shows again with a new coin what do you think will happen, everyone will invest and purchase the new coin hoping that it’ll boom like bitcoin. Unfortunately, if it doesn’t, they’ll lose their funds. Same thing happened to many others who ventured into shitcoins and ended up losing out a lot of money, they thought those coins will perform like bitcoin. I think the term don’t marry your bag is referring to such people; shitcoin investors.

I don’t think the predicted bitcoin price is low, considering the current price of bitcoin and the fluctuation of world economy, which is also a contributor to the increase in price of bitcoin. What should be considered as a thing is the price it’ll fall back to after the bullish shift in price. After hitting 50k for instance will it drop down to 20k again? With the rate at which users and investors are talking about the next bullish run, it sounds to me as a take your profit investment plan. Once the price rises everyone pulls back their investment and profit, causing an early bearish market.

 
This is just speculation and I don’t have a personal exact prediction for the price of bitcoin, but the possibility of bitcoin hitting $75k is there because it’s beginning to trend that bitcoin will pump, but the investment outcome may not be like the 2021 bullish run, as a lot of people who lost money during that period may not throw money into bitcoin again. The crypto market crisis; hacks, rug pulls, etc have taken away multiple investors out of the market. Couple with the fact that these crisis keep happening often during the bull run. People are expected to stay careful, especially those who don’t understand the market. Unless a fresh audience of investors comes to try bitcoin, I see a lesser turn up from those that bought bitcoin at 50k and lost it all down to 20k+.

Day trading is risky and has a limited daily income for individual traders, some can earn $40 a day and others above it. Though it's not guaranteed, because of losses. But, it has a way of getting it work for the traders unlike flip coins. No strategy can determine the wining side of the coin, it's all luck. Day trading, because people lose a lot like in gambling, isn't a game. And because we win cryptocurrency in gambling doesn't make it a trading activity. They are both different methods of participating in gambling and trading. Participating with caution, is the only similarity between them. The 50/50 chances in coin flip, doesn't reduce the high risk of losing too. Personally, I prefer flip coins to day trading, because no skill is required to flip coins and win money. Yet the slim earning opportunity the both activities provide still looks like a 50/50 choice.

Affiliate marketing is an effective marketing technique for any business. It opens a window for anybody to participate in the growth of the gambling platform. Thereby getting commissions according to how much the referred user spent. While it's hard to get some clicks or referrals that deposited funds. Affiliate marketing is not a waste of time. It remains the best investment of time, regardless of how long it took to get the results, the money keeps coming. Especially for a reoccurring niche like gambling, people play games everyday. The referrer is sure of a specific amount everyday. If the casino offer 10% each time the person wagers some money, and the refereed players from a specific marketer, let's say you, spends collectively 10k per week, the marketer is rewarded about 1k every week. Money works for them, on the long run. The marketer can decide not to do that again, and focus on other things and the money keeps coming, provided that the people he referred still play games in the casino he joined their affiliate program. So, you see how worthless it is to get paid for just signing up using the referral link without wagering any funds. It's disappointing that people don't know the huge opportunity behind promoting a casino using your referral link. It's the best way to sleep and earn money.

It's impossible for everyone to stop or cancel gambling activities in their life, due to the fact that some player's life got crashed because of addiction. Every good thing has a bad side. The experience you had with your father OP, isn't simple. I understand what path of life you're walking on, and the emotional troubles you've faced because of your dad's addiction. This thread shows how bad you think of gambling, the best thing to do is not to engage in gambling activities. As you're more vulnerable to addiction, if you do. Living with a gambling addict, growing up, affects a child emotionally. Such kids grow up with pains, little or no parental care, get neglected and their father has no time to teach or question them about what's troubling them. Crypto is great as a substitute, yet I encourage severe precautions, for OP, while venturing in to crypto. Also no need to blame your dad for all that, pick yourself up and dust the past, then move on to a better life. Unlike Op, some kids will grow up to be like their father, that would be a catastrophe to the family.


The way people reason and take actions cannot be the same. They are law makers who gamble, they can't cancel or ban gambling in their constituency or country. I like your response, because it portrays the both ways of seeing things. In as much as how bad gambling can be to some culture or beliefs, many others use it as a fun activity and spend time and money to gain happiness in gambling. Whatever activity should be moderated or it'll cause a backward progress to people engaged to such activity, due to excessive abuse of such activity. When one doesn't look into their gambling activity, it's bad. Everywhere in the world. And it's impossible to control everybody in the world to moderate how they spend money in gambling.  Hence, societies, families, organizations etc are expected to have gambling addicts amongst them. Nothing can be done about it. Whereas the relatives to a gambling addicts are also looked upon to hate gambling entirely, due to the havoc it may have caused them. Like in Op's case. So, the increase of people who hate gambling will always surface in the society.

That's a baseless point for denying a winner of his money, which he won. The casino has a different reason for not handing out that huge amount to the player. They can't withstand paying such an amount. How do they expect a player to provide the source of his money before being paid. That's asking for too much. Is it the kind of KYC policy people will face? it doesn't make any sense. I doubt such things, it could be for publicity, because they should be in court already. Why not refund the 100k to the player, when they're not sure of the source. If I'm not missing anything, the 100k and the 4 million is with the casino. The reality is that, the casino can't survive a long duration in business after releasing $4m, that's why it's taking so much time.  Can the casino provide how they got the money used in setting up the casino business? Those terms or such problems, when taken to court the player has a better chance of winning and getting compensated.


Yeah, in casinos Alcohols are being served to players to get them rolling and spend more time playing games. I've read of different cases where a player losses out in games because he was drunk, and he went to his lawyer, the casino was told to refund the man his funds. To be sincere, these drunk players don't take this decision out of their will. Although, it's under the player's control to drink responsibly, but drinks especially alcohol gets to a point where people forget to drink responsibly, so they end up playing games while drunk. Serving alcohol to players, are just the casino's tricks of extracting more money from gamblers. Because it's rare for a drunk to decline a drink. As for online gamblers, who play games while drunk, the blame is completely on them.

Talking about being confident, it's rare in gambling, regardless of the kind of decision you take. When I go all in while gambling, like any other person, I'm only confident of winning or losing. The positive aspect of it is that, the thrill of winning is higher than losing. I always have this immense feeling of winning, surprisingly I don't get sad when I lose the money. What keeps me rolling with this strategy is that, I've tried it and it worked; a good number of times. Like I said, it's not a reckless move, the best time for it always show up and taking the risk can worth it. Strategies work differently for everyone, according to the method of administration. What a remarkable profit, if you win.


That's for gamblers who have not mastered, the art of going all in. Nobody can withstand the high losses of gambling with only a technique. If going all in is all a gambler got, definitely he'll fall into such problems. And that'll not only affect his bankroll, but also drastically diminish the fun. Chasing losses leads to gambling addiction and I don't support such things. Each gambling strategy one has or possess, should be implemented at the right time and moment.

Going all in, isn't a bad technique for some card games like Poker. Often times, it works for me and I enjoy going all in, especially when my card ranks at straight flush and some times flush. I don't encourage using such technique recklessly, because when winning is not guaranteed it'll be a waste of funds. Like OP said, it's risky, but if one wins, it covers for the losses and lands the player back in game with profits.  Quite correct, I feel good to play all in, even when I lose out my bet, yet I'm not addicted and not feeling any sign of addiction. Since, there is a possibility of winning, it's not boredom that leads me to do that, also I see it as part of the game, if I win I keep playing if not I leave. I've seen good gamblers, who engage in such practice and indeed it's fun. However, it's not for everyone to go all in, because most players will feel like they made the wrong decision.

From the Linked thread, I think the Op focused more on the P2P aspect of bitcoin. And his thread also centered on the today usage of bitcoin as B2P transactions. While questioning what Satoshi's reaction would be regarding the diverse usage of bitcoin. In your thread Op, we can see a detailed quotes of Satoshi's intentions in the past, and the usage of bitcoin as a commodity too, yet it doesn't answer the question of the previous thread, which has a guess answer. Because we don't know Satoshi's recent thoughts. And can't rely on the responses he made more than 10 years ago, as what he thinks of the use of bitcoin today. He made it open source and decentralized so that anybody can make out of bitcoin what they could. In my response, bitcoin belongs to the community; developers, miners, users and investors. We all contributed to the growth of bitcoin, publicity and otherwise. So, Satoshi as the inventor may have little or no reaction to what bitcoin is today. Similar to many other inventions, cars, electricity etc, the inventor's initial thought of providing cars, may not be how cars are used today, I mean we have electric cars. Hence, bitcoin is being innovated, yet it doesn't change the background of bitcoin. It's now a thing of choice for individual users and developers to fit into the innovation as they will. Satoshi is not expected to be bothered about the use of centralized exchanges to trade bitcoin. And also the fact that people now store their funds on CEX. It's no longer under his jurisdiction as the inventor of bitcoin. What matters is that bitcoin is in order and the network works like he left it. Today we have LN and other projects on layer 2 to fasten the use of bitcoin. We forget that the B2P and other added usage of bitcoin boils down to Satoshi's explanation of bitcoin as a positive and negative feedback loop. Since he wanted people to use bitcoin, many ideas will be created to help achieve his goals. The centralized wallets, exchanges, defi, etc all have contributed to the growth and fall of bitcoin price one way or another. In a nutshell, it's important to note that, many more innovations will come through Bitcoin and Satoshi may not have thought of it in the initial stage of developing bitcoin.

It's important to understand how bitcoin address work. It is designed in such a way that even if you make an omission in the address the possibility is very low that the transaction will go through. It won't be accepted by miners because it'll be wrong.


Except in a such a situation like clipboard attack. That's the relevance of crosschecking the address. As the attack is increasing with multiple methods by the attacker, they've gotten to the stage of manipulating qr codes as well. Aside that, it's almost impossible for a mistake in an address, make a bitcoin transaction go through successfully.

I prefer reading such sites, especially those that provide resources to where they got their information. It'll only take few dedication for any bitcoin user to read through all the courses and understand more about bitcoin. I'll personally go through them gradually, especially the lightning network course. The few course sites I've read are not rich with information about LN. Such sites as this, is not only meant for newbies, any body can read them to understand bitcoin and add knowledge to existing ones. I'd advise newbies to ask questions regarding any term or information they don't understand on the website. It'll help the learning process of the newbie or reader and as well put some informative thread on the forum for everyone else to read and participate. Great resource OP.
