...It's very clear this is a fake twitter even though it's a blue tick, so don't believe it.

This blue checkmark indicates that the account is verified for the @DJMAX_global account, so it is not related to Vitalik Buterin - @VitalikButerin.  If law enforcement agencies are interested in this scam, they will receive comprehensive information from Twitter support about who @DJMAX_global really is.

Right now the @DJMAX_global account looks like this:


Unfortunately, not all knew about this and how to verify a legit account which is why still a lot of people easily got scammed and they use rewards to attract greedy souls. Many impersonated known personalities and scammers use this account to trick innocent people - I guess there is easy money in social media more than the profit we earn from investing in Bitcoin or crypto.
As per to see, as the technology keeps on upgrading, more and more scammers had already popup and more tricks. And the more we don't have to trust strangers anymore.

Everyday there are newbies who came here try there fortune on cryptocurrency and once they see something like this for sure this will catch there attention. This is the reason why we see this scam ends up since there are still so many newbies around and for sure they want to fool those people so thag they can accumulate more money on their pockets. For sure the interest of mainstream media is one of the reason why people got interested on this and scammers use the current events to use it on their scams.

Should have asked this question when I created my account on this forum but I was too busy with learning crypto mining, I want to know what happens if your wallet is connected to a swap website like Voyager, Pancake swap and others, once you connect your wallet what access do you give the website for that period of time? Private key access? Recovery seed access? Or just control of your wallet for that limited time.




Depends on the platform where you connect your wallet since there are scam and take out your balance if you are not careful upon connecting on any random platform so before doing this verify first their reputation so that nothing bad will happen to you. Be more vigilant and always doubt on things you don't know since thinking twice can help you avoid unnecessary things which cost you a money.

As an electronic currency, I will like to know if bitcoin can be use in sport betting, apart from using your local currency, can I found my sport bet account using bitcoin.

Actually its easy to find this answer and there's no need to create a thread just to ask simple question like this. You can search the result on google then search for available sports book which accept bitcoin or you can even go to gambling sections where you can see gambling sites accept bitcoin and other alts. Also upon checking those site be careful also upon checking there reputation and history because their are scam sports book who still exist and you might get scam with it if you pick a wrong site.

If a gambler can not control himself and has such a strong gambling addiction that he creates new accounts to bypass restrictions, he deceives himself. Playing with low balance won't help him either. It seems to me that if such a gambler tries to keep a low balance, he will lose it anyway, and he will be tempted to top up his balance again and again.
Actually there is no other way to stop gambling than he really leaves the past, because if he is still involved in gambling games even for low bets but the addiction to gambling will come back, so it is very difficult to get rid of gambling addiction if without the desire in him to stop gambling, so he should be more active in other positive activities so that there is no more time to gamble.

Once you already pass on addiction stage for sure you realize all bad things you encounter and you can control yourself on what actions you do on gambling, And since there are people having fun playing then you see them they are totally fine we can still say that there's no harm if we participate in this activities. Its just people who are newbie on gambling expect to much that's why they live on unrealistic scenario then try to win big on casinos. This is some reason how addictions start to them, but if they could just get proper guidance they will not go on bad position where it can cost a lot on them.

Many people follow the update about ETH merge so this is indeed really a good catch since this is good warning to those people who's not very much knowledgeable about schemes like this. Also its really better for anyone to check always the url since this will also verify all our assumptions since many fake websites try this attempt so that they can scam many people.

As far as I know they have not been arrested yet.. However, a warrant has been issued for their arrest. All those involved in such a big scam should be brought to book and punished at the same time all their assets should be confiscated. Those who are trying to do that can learn from them.
You're right, I haven't read the news of the arrest of the founder of Luna but there is no way for them to escape even though they are abroad, they should be arrested immediately because this case must be immediately brought to court to be prosecuted before Crash Luna 2.0 (probably), I hope everyone follows up on news updates about the arrest order so that it doesn't get swayed by the hype that temporarily increases the price of luna just to profit the whales.

He cannot go anywhere nor live a easy life if he flew and go abroad knowing he has standing warrant of arrest so I guess this is the end of their schemes on what they do to their holder. I hope this is a wake up call for people who still believe that LUNA will pump since for the incident happen on it for sure no big investors will come on it again.

Only people who have bad agenda will just come and hype this for their own benefits.

<snip>
Sorry for joining this conversation. Might just share my personal opinion for 1xbit's signature campaign here.
If I remember it correctly, they are hiring a lot of signatures and avatars right? I think they are not basing on the quality of the posts, rather they want their signature and avatar be displayed more often. So they won't care if  their members are just "spamming". Also, it is cheaper. (That's probably what they are thinking).

I am not up-to-date if there are new scam accusations posted here regarding 1xbit, but I believe there were users here that became their victim who are still active until today. Just guessing.

They not into quality because reputable forum users will not join on their campaign due to their issues, many people who doesn't have red trust avoid this casino because they don't want their account get ruined by short term payments only. This is the reason why mostly the users join on their camp have red trust already since those people doesn't care anymore if they can get red trust because there account is we can say a throw away or they have nothing to lose for trying their luck to promote this casino.
1808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Casino Stake.com sued for $400 million on: September 16, 2022, 11:03:57 PM
There is still a change the jury or the judge gets convinced a monetary compensation does have place within the lawsuit, 400 million is completely out of proportion in my opinion, if the former partner ends up winning this lawsuit the final amount would end up being smaller.

I dont see major reasons to panic over this lawsuit, Stake likely have very good lawyers and enough money to pay and solve this all mess without going out of business.

If anyone feels uncomfortable with all this, simply keep enough funds on stake to gamble and move the rest of it to your wallet.
If people are concerned about risk, then they can always move their funds to a secure wallet rather than on a gambling platform. I think it is never safe to have very large funds on any gambling site, it is very risky. But have sufficient funds for your gambling needs and make a deposit when needed again.

$400M is such a huge amount, it will surely cause a lot of panic among stake customers.
I see no risk here because this cam not in any way make the entire company to fold up since they they have huge backup and funds. This is just a mere a legal battle between the founders of stake and this does not in any way affect the gamblers that are playing bets of the site on a daily basis.
Some gamblers might think of their safety here because they don't really know what the outcome of this legal battle going to be like but if we look at it from other angle, this is a normal thing that do happens within companies when there is some problems between the founders.
You cant really blame out people on not to have that kind of doubt that this platform might be experiencing whether a temporary or permanent operation of Stake which it is unlikely to happen but we dont know

considering that it do involves already a case where something it could possibly be ending up on that kind of scenario and thats why i cant blame out other people on having this kind of impression and doubts.

Hope that this one would really be settled out but if Freeman would fight for that $400m then this is something not a small amount to deal with via other co-founders.

Seeing that legal battle what Stake currently facing on will make people doubt about their current condition since imagine if they lose to that case there's huge amount will be taken on their stash. And its valid concern for people since maybe this could be the reason on why stake will fall.

But let see how the case proceed and for sure many of curious people want to know the further developments happening to this.
1809  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: bitcoin telegram on: September 16, 2022, 11:46:41 AM
I'm not sure if Telegram is the perfect place to know more about Bitcoin and miners especially because there is no official Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining Telegram channel. And knowing the track record of Telegram, you might end up falling into wrong information or, worse, fraud.

Why don't you use this forum instead? I guess the forum has enough users to provide you knowledge and answers to your questions. There are boards solely dedicated to both Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining. Feel free to explore and use the search button.

Its not really a perfect place for newbie to go since if you ask something on the group for sure there are many fake accounts that will send you a pm and offer you something appealing which is scam, also sometimes they use fake accounts of the admins so that they can scam you or even hack your wallet and this is the reason why I discourage newbies to go on telegram since that place is not newbie friendly anymore.

Much better if they just go here on bitcointalk since for sure they can get proper guidance coming from reputable members if they ask some valid question in this place.
1810  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BE AWARE OF THIS CASINO on: September 16, 2022, 10:09:28 AM
Always pay keen attention to a service you are going to use to avoid such disappointments. The suspected fraudulent casino has scam accusations stretching all the way from 2018. Had you looked up a few scam accusations, I don't think you would have deposited any money to them.
The fact that support has not responded to you for that long only means one thing, you have been scammed.

hi, thank you all so much for the answers. why didn't I immediately post a complaint here? Well, I was waiting for the casino's response, I placed complaints on various sites, I already went here out of desperation. now all my efforts are aimed at contacting casino representatives and withdrawing my winnings. It's a lot of money for me, too, and I was damn glad when I won it. unfortunately, I saw only good reviews on MBit and did not immediately realize that it was just fake.

Been a long time for them doing some activities here and unfortunately it seems that they don't have plans to pay their past users who encounter problem on their casino since its like they have plan to scam you guys. Just be careful trusting anyone claiming that they are mbit casino representative since some scammers use this incident to scam the investors again. I guess for this issue if you have time you can seek help for legal authorities who's expert to handle crypto scamming cases in your country.
1811  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to raise funding for trading? on: September 15, 2022, 10:45:31 PM
re-invest,re-roll, compounding profits is the only way that he could really make his trading capital even more bigger because you cant really make yourself to reach out this kind of certain state if you do just rely on others
support which its true that on most people been saying that you cant really get any financial support here on this forum speaking with money or investment because they would rather make you look like a scammer.  Cheesy
Its better to make your capital bigger on your own if you dont really have any source of income or savings to make your capital bigger.Dont expect for some monetary support on any place online
because people cant really just trust you on and what guarantees that you could really give to them?

True, that should be done in case he wanted a huge fund for his trading.  It just don't sink in that he claimed to be successful in trading for some years and yet failed to increase his fund for trading.  For me it is a BS to ask someone funds because he is performing well in his trading activities.  Besides if he wanted to to be serious then he should have shown his trading logs as what @2dogs stated.  This way at least reader can see what it would look like if they started funding the request.

If someone telling me that they are profitable and yet they ask for more funds for there trades coming from other people then I don't believe on that guys because from thinking deeply on what they currently do why they need funds if they think they can earn more for their trades? They can just do what you just said since asking for fundings is not cool to hear and saw this for so many times conducted by scammers from the past. So If I where the OP better not to ask if he don't want people think that he just want to scam people around here.
1812  Economy / Gambling / Re: NFT BETTING CLUB- new and unique NFT collection on: September 15, 2022, 12:18:48 PM
The only place i saw where NFT is interesting to use is play2earn. It is really wise decision to use NFT in such project, it helps to create the same items that becomes unique due to NFT. And devs can get additional money creating NFT with the interesting design and bonuses.
But in this thread i don`t see such idea. I don`t see any idea for what purpose NFT is needed to the OP.

Well, why is there an idea is to use NFT as an input ticket to a closed discord channel, there is no problem in this, the fee for joining a closed channel is the business of its creators. But whether there will be further development of this project, if NFT limited series in the amount of 777 pieces, is a big question.
You don`t need NFT for this idea - just sell login/password. You can even create auction if you want. Will this NFT be used for login? Surely no. They are useless for such idea and created just to attract attention of the cryptocurrency gamblers because it is trendy. Most time it means that there is nothing interesting in such a project except attempt to get money from "investors".

Its just riding up with the trend then trying there luck if many people will buy it and earn thousands or millions with that, but actually this is totally useless since gamblers don't really need that for if they just want to solely play. And sometimes they used this flowery words by presenting their site to make this legit so for new guys around better be vigilant searching if those NFT really worth and it have proper utility or use case on the platform.
1813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bonus Abuse: Who is to Blame? on: September 15, 2022, 10:07:46 AM
...
...
No one else would be blamed but the casino ...

I saw many promotions abused by people, in most cases casinos had low requirements and many just saw the opportunity for making a few bucks in an easy way! In such cases, there's no one else to be blamed than casinos and teams behind. But I also see there are some professional abusers around, they are looking for new ways all the time, whatever security measures casinos make they will find a way to bypass it. So it's like the neverending war in my opinion, and all that makes it hard for us normal and honest players, more and more control.
Its carelessness of the team on such casino because anything should have set on the proper way before launching any promotions and competitions so that it wont really be abused by people.
As a business owner then you should really be having that advanced mindset on various circumstances which could happen.It would be just common sense that you should
set specific rules and terms so that it wont really be that getting abused and as mentioned that there are honest and dishonest person on this world.

To many casino abuse happen before so they need to consider to add more preventive measure on possible abuse that may done by certain people. If they cannot provide security towards this issue then maybe we can say that the team behind them is incompetent and cannot be trusted since if they create mistake for that for sure they may have a lapses for more bigger ones.
1814  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Fake Giveaway Ethereum: by using the blue tick (verification) on his Twitter on: September 14, 2022, 11:40:36 PM
The first two tweets have been already deleted and I checked the third one.
It says that "you can only apply once". With this trick, they are trying to encourage their victims to send more fund and avoid sending small amounts for testing purpose.
I also checked their deposit address. Till now, two people have been scammed by them. One has sent 3 ETH and the other has sent 0.5 ETH.

Totally bad for people to fall on this trap because for so many times that this schemes has been used there are still people who fall from fake giveaways. I think they really need to have serious education about those scams since its pretty damn obvious that there's no giveaways will double your money instantly or quickly and those who offer that are scammers only so I guess people need to learn a lesson from past lesson since ignoring them will cause them financial loss.
1815  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help me to be a pro in bitcoin and crypto on: September 14, 2022, 10:08:44 PM
Take note that some other people here are busy wit their own task done on crypto to earn money so for sure no people here will teach you one on one. So you better do your own research because many information are already placed here. Start to read the pinned threads because it consist with important information and then check the whole section because all of the discussion related to coin new or old are already there.
Of course, everyone in this forum has their own busy schedule so that it is impossible to give direct lessons. Actually it just depends on how a beginner makes use of every thread in this forum and is not lazy to search and read about some crypto and bitcoin knowledge. I found some beginners who are really serious about asking questions and continue to discuss until they get a definite answer and some of those who are serious continue to develop until they can reach a higher level and get the knowledge they want. it all depends on each individual whether they want to learn or not.
No matter how many sources we will put in here, if the learner do not have the focus and determination to learn, then everything will still be useless. OP, if you have the patience and eagerness to learn, you can actually google everything about crypto and bitcoin because everything are already found in the internet for free. It’s only up to you how you’ll manage your time and understand every details on what you read.

That's right it always depends on the people on how he absorb the learnings he can get and how eager he is to became what he targets to be on this industry because, if he just hype up on the money shown by several people on social media and they think they can earn the same way as easy as they can if they became knowledgeable on crypto then maybe they will be slap on reality. Maybe for now for little key points towards this they should start on basic things and learn on what they can read on this forum.

I also think like this because I always take part in funfury competitions but have never been lucky, surely it's because of the hours of playing and my level is still very minimal and short. funfury is the best thing prepared by betfury to make their site users feel at home.
Sometimes people feel qualify a particular platform with a good recommendation so that other people come be patronizing them if actually you have access to the site, I will say that you should give account based on the experience you had from the platform because some sites do give out phones for somebody to narrate good about them so that they will be having a customer that will patronize them
Minimal experience and level are not guaranteed to win or be lucky because luck can come to anyone.
As long as you can get into the competition at funfury, you can keep trying because you'll be lucky in the future.
But even so, you must always remember that don't be too eager to try to be a winner because it can make you forget to control yourself and your money.
Or maybe you shouldn't enter the competition if you've never had any luck and just bet like most people.
Just when you begin to understand that you are currently unlucky and you are losing, then you should stop and take a break.  But of course, not all people can do this, but only those who can control themselves 100%. 
Nevertheless, a break in the game may well lead to the fact that then you will start a lucky streak and start winning. Smiley

The urge the get back on their feet is one of the factor why some of the people doesn't have those mindset which is to take a break since they are totally believe that if they bet more they can turn the phase in favor to them and recover or even more earn more from what they currently on. But its really good to have self control and acceptance that sometimes we lose since it could save us energy and get away from severe stress level brought up by bad plays.
1817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Casinos vs money laundering. on: September 13, 2022, 10:10:44 PM
Let's be honest, money laundering is the best thing that can happen to a casino and there is where most of high rollers comes from. I have seen some rollers in the past that runs some huge scams and then go to the casinos to play with the scammed money and with that justify where they get the money from after hitting some huge wins.

Nowadays most casinos has KYC, but i don't think that is enough to stop the money laundering, what casinos should do is to investigate the source of the deposits to fight against this illegal activity, but that will not happen because is a win-win game from them.

So, what do you say, does crypto casinos really care about money laundering?

Maybe before they can run there schemes thru the casino which didn't require yet a KYC. But unfortunately I think the law towards casinos and certain requirements tighten up that's why many fraudulent people struggle now to use casino as their platform to launder money as they require a KYC to their users and also especially they request a huge amount of money for withdrawal.

I sold bitcoin last 2018 when it fell by almost $10,000/coin it made me fall. although today it looks bad too but it was better at that time. I'm sure the bitcoin price will come back like last year. I'm sorry for rejecting the reality and hiding. I forgot that there is nothing wrong with me starting as soon as possible. I want to know what is your attitude with the bitcoin price today? Cheesy

It seems you regret what you do from the past since you base things on current level, but actually nothing wrong really wrong with that because at first place we don't know about if the price pump. What most important thing to di since we already see that bitcoin really recover is to take good decisions on our trades and always do good actions especially when we see a bear market condition since we are sure that red days are just temporary season on the market and if we are doing action like buying when market is in bad shape for sure we can earn huge pile of money especially if bitcoin reach for its another ATH.

Nothing wrong to rely on cryptocurrency if your income here is much bigger on your physical job, but if you are here risking your future and you are not sure about what you are doing then this is not really worth it since its so risky knowing cryptocurrency is volatile. Maybe if you doubt about your future on this industry much better trait this as your side job or a hobby since multiple source of income can generate you more positive result rather than risking your future on single income flow only.
1820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Rise of Mobile Gambling Is Leaving People Ruined and Unable to Quit on: September 11, 2022, 01:05:30 PM
Children will have to go to bet and play any mobile games they like and with this, addiction is becoming likely faster than what we think which can eat up our time and ways we respond to things.
As much as possible parent should keep their children busy, maybe providing schedule for them to follow can help them avoid getting into gambling. Parents can still do something as their child character will depend on how they allow them to grow. Though it can only be possible to children who are still relying in their parents but those who already into gambling ,maybe giving samples on how it can ruin their lives once they don’t do anything to control their habits. It’s still a matter of self discipline and how one wanted to enjoy or run their lives.

Its very tiring and might your child will be rebellious to you if you dictate what things they need to do and you push them to do it even if they dislike what activity feed to them. Maybe much better if you educate them about this since learning it on early stage will make them realize more earlier than engaging to much on this is so risky for them and most provably they avoid this especially if they didn't start to go with this activities.
