The lesson is be rich enough to take a private plane or ship into international waters for your gambling needs, then you are legal. Lots of things are quite unfair if you dont have money, I wouldnt worry too much about your gambling usage just dont hold too much at once is probably the solution I guess but mostly you should not be hassled in any more moderate solution.
I'm not planning to hold a large balance because technically, I'm still accessing the website from a restricted country, thus breaking their TOS, not sure how applicable this is after using Cloudflare's DNS though, but generally, I'd rather be cautious. However, my question is, does TrustDice or any other website still see my actual IP address, knowing that I'm bypassing my country's block? |

From what you've all mentioned, $20.000 sounds like a pretty feasible scenario. Honestly, it has been stuck around $30.000 for quite a few weeks. I also believe that eventually, it will suddenly crash down to $20.000 - $23.000, before slowly recovering and regaining ground. Such scenario will definitely cause panic to investors, similarly to 2017's crash.
Hopefully, it'll eventually recover, providing that we're patient enough to wait it out.

Hello there, I'm not the kind of guy who bothers about its price and any predictions that pop-up, because I haven't let the downtrend affect me. I'm planning to accumulate as much Bitcoin as I can and hold it for a long period. However, an article was trending on my news feed and decided to check it out. According to the article, Bitcoin was supposedly capable of avoiding inflation, although, it seems to have been severely affected by it. The change in risk appetite, the tightening of monetary policies and the withdrawal of liquidity from the markets and, finally, the rapid rise in inflation show that the cryptocurrency market has been severely impacted.  George Savakis, with the help of the analyst Dimitris Tsantoy, a member of Elliot Wave trader community, are predicting a correction down to $20.000 - $23.000, while claiming that as long as Bitcoin is below $35.000, it's extremely unlikely to see a market recovery.

Currently, inflation is over 10.7% and is expected to rise even further, the average cost for a liter of 95 unleaded is over €2.35 while everything has become way more expensive, up to the point of it being unbearable.
The most unbearable fact is, that is Russian-Ukrainian war stops, prices wont start to go back. Living with such inflation and high prices will be new normal, until another world collapse or disaster happens. Sort of a slow self destruction mechanism started by humankind. In my country, every 2-3 days fuel prices updates is ATH. Every time I am passing by fuel station and see fuel prices, in my mind I say "not again..." and start to think about what places I have planned to visit I could skip... That's certain. The excessive prices are here to stay, even if everything suddenly switches back to normal, the inflated prices will remain for a long time and become the new standard. In the best case scenario, we'll see a slight drop and that's about it. The average price for 95 unleaded is over €2.35 and is expected to rise even further from Monday, due to Brent oil surpassing $125/barrel. The sad thing is, that inflation will continue to rise and we have to deal with it. Even when the war stops or the pandemic ends, I believe that there's no way for us or even the government to solve the increasing inflation rate of each country. Yes, the oil price hikes each weak and even rich people are suffering. I guess the best thing that we can do is just to grind and hustle harder so we can survive this inflation crisis. The sad thing there's no direct way to battle inflation and due to the increasing costs in fueling and electricity, daily products are becoming more and more expensive. Inflation in Greece surpassed 10.7% in May, which translates in an increase of over 10% in the majority of goods being sold. Salaries were supposedly increased in first of May, but it's not an ideal way to battle inflation, since the higher cost of employees is often absorbed by consumers. |

It seems like the community is trying various effort to know about the truth of this project. There are so many people are starting to trace the real story of luna. The founder was a dictator guy that is always focing its community to follow him. The price already plunged again and that proves that how the guy that called himself as the master of stable token can do nothing to bring back the trust by the investor again. Im sure that people scared to jump into the new luna again.
The new luna already had the same fate with the old luna. this will become useless coin.
I don’t think this project is ever going to be successful again after falling twice. Luna failed the first and this second one (Luna 2.0) should have been a source of hope for the investors but it happened to also turn out to be a failure now, so how exactly are they going to be able to retain their community /investors? A lot of investors were already discouraged at first, and the few that were left who were trying to see whether there is still the chance of them recovering what was lost are now going to give up on it, and when they finally do, it’s going to be totally over for the project. The most probable scenario is that the majority of people still supporting Luna are those who couldn't/wouldn't exit before it went downhill and are simply hoping to recoup some of their losses. Still, there are some others who are simply too naive to understand that it has been zeroed and it'll never recover to former price levels. Despite all that, the Luna incident has changed the stablecoin scene by proving that algorithmic stablecoins aren't as safe as we deemed, with investors now being sceptical on staking others, such as USDD, which share a pretty similar concept to UST. I had over 2.000 USD invested in staking UST - BUSD, fortunately I managed to sell at approximately 90 cents, before it went downhill, it was a terrible feeling. |

That's very simple, once your ISP is blocked, you are not allowed to gamble due to legal restrictions.
Now, the solution is very simple, you use VPN to change your IP and that will give you access to enjoy the gambling site.
Some sites would okay that, but some will see it as a form of cheating since the word "bypass" is cheating for them, so I agree with the poster above, you know the risk, it's up to you if you are willing to take the risk of getting banned later.
The point to note is that here the ISP is blocking the gambling sites and there is no issue from the gambling sites blocking your country. In this case , I think the gambling site will have no objection and your ISP won't be able to find you are accessing the gambling sites. Just make sure the VPN connecting location should not be any country which the gambling site has restricted. You shouldn't count on the good will of casinos. If you lose your money at them they will stay friendly and warm with you but if you win money, you won't be welcomed anymore and they won't tolerate this kind of thing anymore. Then as Maslate said, it's risky. The better and easier solution is to simply change your DNS server in your configuration. You can use the one of Google (8.8.8.  , or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) for example. Raflesia gave a link above of a thread explaining how to do it easily into Chrome. Was way too busy the past few days and haven't been able to contact them yet, I'll make sure to report back when I do and receive their response. Thank you for all your replies, I'll make sure to try changing the DNS settings or Cloudfare before doing. I didn't have much money on the account, thus I don't really care if I end up losing it, but it'd suck a little.
Have you tried changing the DNS on your device to something else? Sometimes it can solve the problem of being blocked by your ISP but I don't know what will happen to your account at that ISP.
Using a VPN can be done but before you use a VPN, you better ask each casino you want to play at first because the policies of each casino are different. To use a VPN, I recommend using a premium VPN because it can provide many IPs that you can choose from. But to be on the safe side, you don't need to visit the casino if your ISP is blocking your connection there.
Try using it this way, I also initially couldn't load Fortunejack but after using it it can be reopened without a VPN. How To Access Sportsbet.io or any kind of gambling without VPNUsually, casinos allow using a VPN as long as it doesn't become an abuse and it's better to use a premium VPN instead of a free one, but it's better to ask first, but if you don't want to risk too much, another casino might be an alternative. Many thanks! Just tried it and works like a charm, no need to contact them nor use a VPN and risk losing my funds. A quick question though, does using Cloudflare DNS affect anything else? I hadn't heard of it as an option before, so it's all new to me. Thanks in advance [moderator's note: consecutive posts merged] |

I don't get why there are still people who believe in Terra, the whole project is dead with absolutely zero chances of recovery.
Because huge amount of crypto investors are nothing but a degenerate gamblers that are into all this to get rich quick and nothing else. They don't care about decentralization, being your own bank thing or whther altcoin have any utility. It's not like we didn't have bunch of examples in the past, like ETC that had several 51% attacks yet people are still somehow hodling (even mining) that. There are other well known altcoins that fail miserably like Luna did. My guess is that one of them will be ADA. Saw recently the meme that explains this Luna 2.0 situation perfectly People do really love to play with fire eh? They havent learnt up those past mistakes and losing huge money and now they are tending to dive in once again to deal with Luna 2.0? How these people do make out these kind of considerations if they do really just based up on past events then i dont see for someone to be fooled twice. Excuses that they could make money this time? That wont really be that sensible which its just sad that people lost lots of money for just making theirselves fall for the hype. I think some people are naive enough to believe that eventually it will recover back to its former glory. At the moment, even if it reaches a few cents, it would be a miracle, because that would require billions of dollars in market value, which is highly unlikely, since the majority of the cryptocurrency community has abandoned the project and its developer is no longer to be trusted. |

These fuel price increases are really making the inflation much quicker and higher and it's the whole world that suffers expect for the few companies that have their main source through oil.
Damn, the ATH on the oil prices really is making our lives harder and it's a domino effect when fuel price increases. All commodities and goods are also increasing. When this war will end and things will go back easier pre-pandemic, we're just about to see the neutralization of the covid-19 due to vaccines but there's another challenge due to the war and oil price increases.
Greece is on a big inflation even before the war started between Russia and Ukraine though maybe this situation make it more worst. In my country, we expect to have a higher inflation in the coming months and maybe, this could be the start of the price hike. This is one of the problem that world faces today, many countries are already suffering from a big inflation, oil is one thing and I can expect more commodities to rise in price as well. That's correct, if you check my other threads regarding fuel prices or inflation, they date back to September or October, till February before the war started. The condition was already awful in September, with fuel prices already on the rise, electricity costs had skyrocketed and inflation was already making its appearance on a daily basis. Currently, inflation is over 10.7% and is expected to rise even further, the average cost for a liter of 95 unleaded is over €2.35 while everything has become way more expensive, up to the point of it being unbearable. |

No worries, no offense taken, I'm here to seek advice and actually, you're right. I just checked their TOS and it doesn't mention anything for VPN usage, but does mention that multi-accounting is a bannable offense "Only one Account for each household, IP, PC is allowed". On top of that, it also mentions that if you're using their site from a restricted country, you're practically breaking their TOS.
"3.7 You are aware that the right to access and use the website and any products there offered, may be considered illegal in certain countries..., or other restricted jurisdictions (“Restricted Jurisdiction”) as informed by us from time to time. By using the Website you confirm you are not a resident in a Restricted Jurisdiction."
On top of that, I'd rather not use a VPN because I tend to forget to turn it off, and I'd rather not have multiple IPs showing on certain websites.
If you are that afraid to lose whatever funds you have in the account, you could try to contact the customer service by using a VPN without logging into your account and explain your situation to them, and tell them that you only want to get your money back, in that case maybe they could allow you to connect from a VPN to get your money and then you can play in whatever casino that is not restricted by your ISP, or play in a casino which does not mind their users to connect through a VPN. I'll try to contact them through their Telegram group like another user recommended, or via email. I never thought they'd start banning cryptocurrency casinos a few years ago but I guess due to their increasing popularity, more and more will be added to their list. I'll see what kind of response I receive, in the worst case scenario, I've lost a few bucks. |

As others have mentioned, it's blocked due to my country's legal legislation, which sucks. There's not much to do at this point but to take the risk and use a VPN. In the worst case scenario, I'll get banned and lose any funds I have on the account, fortunately it's only a little. I don't see any other possible way to get around the block.
I'm sorry if I'm being a little insensitive but if in your country they are banning casinos then that means you will be breaking the TOS of the casino of your subscription, maybe it would be better for you to research better if really in your country they banned all casinos due to some specific law that has been passed or they are just exaggerating (taking advantage of the law) and are putting many casinos on the blacklist without any need, because I don't see how all online casinos in the world will have to ask for a license in your country to be able to operate or in your country they just don't want casinos? because from what I've read I don't understand why they are now blocking gambling sites when until 2020 they have a proposed law that was more or less acceptable Gambling sites blocked by ISPs is a very common thing in my country because gambling is illegal in my country.  God in heaven, I thought my country was the worst in the world, at the end of the day it can still be surpassed by some other country. how can a government dictate what people can and cannot do with their own money? something I don't understand. well in my country gambling is legal, at least that's the only good thing about it No worries, no offense taken, I'm here to seek advice and actually, you're right. I just checked their TOS and it doesn't mention anything for VPN usage, but does mention that multi-accounting is a bannable offense "Only one Account for each household, IP, PC is allowed".

I don't get why there are still people who believe in Terra, the whole project is dead with absolutely zero chances of recovery. My guess is that those who are still onboard don't have anything else to lose and simply hope that one day, they'd be able to recoup some of their losses. Some others simply try to take the gamble, trying to take advantage of the high volatility, in an attempt to achieve a higher yield.
It sucks big time, I never expected such a downturn, with billions of dollars going down the drain. I managed to exit at an early state, before it got too bad and minimised my losses.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Russia selling oil to Asia count as a backup plan? I read an article claiming that Russia had over $20b in revenue from selling crude oil, which is a 50% increase just for 2022. On the other hand, Europe is suffering from immense inflation and excessive gas prices, burdening both whole nations who are forced to implement measures to tackle the excessive costs of living.
Exactly. Out of the 8 million barrels of crude and refined products that Russia export every day, now China and India together account for more than 3 million. And this figure may increase further. The Indian government is in talks with Russian counterparts for further discounts to the imports and Chinese government has announced that they are looking forward to fill their strategic oil reserves with Russian crude. On top of that, a large number of Asian nations (Sri Lanka, Pakistan.etc) have expressed interest in Russian crude. That's interesting, I hadn't investigated how much they export to Asian countries, but they are certainly taking advantage of discounted oil. If I remember correctly, the discounted price is at least 20% lower than it's actually trading. With prices only expected to rise, it's actually quite reasonable to opt for discounted oil. Asia (India and China) does not really need Russian oil (and natural gas) ...
They will buy it if the prices are attractive for buying, but in fact they do not really need Russian oil. This is due to the availability of alternative sources of energy resources and the structure of the economies of these countries, as well as to a warmer climate.
The main consumers of Russian gas and oil are European countries. Therefore, the conflict with European countries is a very stupid and insane action. Currently, Russia receives a lot of money from the sale of oil and gas (due to rising world energy prices).
However, in such a business, the main thing is to maximize the supply of goods. The most important thing here is the struggle for the volume of the market.
This is what affects Russia's income in the long run.
They don't, but it's being bought at discounted prices. On the one hand, I can't blame them for doing so, but on the other hand, they're funding Putin/Russia, the country who started the war in the first place and drove us to this condition. |

Supposedly, Gaming Commission in Greece blocks unauthorized gambling services, not gambling all-together. However, I remember quite a few casinos being blocked in the past. Although, those that involved cryptocurrency weren't affected, till now I guess. The blocked site list, which is available online, now includes a wide range of crypto casinos, many of which can be found throughout this forum.

You have been warned. Once you have issues to the casino while your ISP added the casino in thier blacklist, you will find it hard to claim since you are from a blacklisted country.
The ISP seemvery particular in banning casinos, when I tried visiting trustdice today, it asked me to solve captcha. Does that mean the casino is flagged or compromised?
I've been warned, but what else can I do? I'm not going to deposit any money of course, and only resort to use my existing balance, but there's no other choice, thus, I'm willing to take the risk, what else could I possibly do? Regarding your issue, I don't think the casino has been flagged, it's probably just a security check to tackle spam. |

Hello there, I tried accessing TrustDice today, which is one of the first cryptocurrency casino's I've been introduced into, but it wouldn't load, claiming that "Connection is not private". I thought something was fishy at the moment, but quickly realized that it was actually blocked by my ISP.  How should I deal with such an issue? I certainly thought of using a VPN, but I only have a free one, meaning that it could easily be used by another person on the website simultaneously, which could potentially lead to a ban. Stake and Fortunejack are also banned, after making a few guesses, Roobet still works fine. |

It depends, if I have invested in Altcoins I'd panic because I don't trust them as much as I trust Bitcoin, there are quite a few instances of them suddenly crashing (see Luna or even FTM), for a variety of reasons which are not currently relevant. Bitcoin has lost more than 50% of its value, but honestly, I currently don't mind, since I'm not dependent on that money. I'm confident that in the near future, it will pay off by large. Thus, such bear markets aren't too upsetting for me, while it's a worthy opportunity to acquire more Bitcoin.

As it is, Ukraine is not just the only victim of the war even though they are the worst hit; Russia are also licking their wounds. As a result of the war, news outlets where one can read, watch or listen to news no longer have independence to be aired as they have been either blocked or shutdown. Hundreds of companies have pulled out of Russia in protest as a result of the invasion in Ukraine. Russia meanwhile believe that this attack is not a war; rather a necessary operation designed to fight Nazis, Ultra nationalists and bring about peace and liberation ( what a funny way to go about it, if you ask me). Although the Russian economy has not collapsed under the onslaught of sanctions, but the world's largest country is now unable to import many of the goods it once did including high-tech semi conductors. The EU's oil embargo alone is expected to cost Moscow billions of dollars in lost export revenue. Do they have a backup plan or is this economic suicide?? https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-61656289In my opinion, there is no back-up plan .... At one time, former Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev suggested that Russia is too important for other countries to remain isolated forever. He suggested that the initially imposed economic sanctions would eventually be lifted or relaxed. However, this is an overly optimistic statement .... The oil and gas embargo, in my opinion, has disastrous consequences for the Russian economy. Also catastrophic is the ban on the import of Western technology. However, all these effects have a long-term effect. This effect will not appear immediately, but will have disastrous consequences. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Russia selling oil to Asia count as a backup plan? I read an article claiming that Russia had over $20b in revenue from selling crude oil, which is a 50% increase just for 2022.

It's a vicious cycle, fueling costs increase transportation costs which are passed into products and causes the inflation we're talking about. Fueling prices keep soaring here, averaging 2.45€/liter for 95 unleaded petrol while groceries cost at least 10-15% on average. In the meantime, despite the imposed sanctions, Russia claimed more than $20b in revenue from oil sales. |
