I think there is a stage you will reach in life that the things you consider big will actually look little in your eye, If I have up to $1000 in my casino wallet and blow it all in one day due to my silly life, it will pain me a lot because that's big money to me right now but if at all I'm a Millionaire and loss $1000 a day, I wouldn't feel anything at all because it is actually not something that will move my pocket, that is the same thing Micheal Jordan and for him to place that kind of bet, he was having an assurance of winning back but gambling they say.

Marcus Jordan will likely pay a fine for violating the law, it is a rule that must be followed, he will surely pay a fine which I think wouldn't be a problem for them if they could blow up thousands of dollars in gambling.

There are many things attached to licensing a casino. Before any casino receives there license, the body responsible for such has to check their games if they are valid and they are not skewed to favour only the house, they also check if have are valid team so they don't run away with player's money and also cross check if they will require KYC and how they will take care of players documents in their custody.
Playing in a casino that is not licensed puts your money at risk because should in case they refuse to pay your withdrawals, you cannot sue them or do anything against them since they are not even registered in the first place, this is why a license gives players self-confidence with casinos.

Whatever view society sees about me is their cup of tea, they have theirs and I have mine to live and as long as I do my job without compromising a single second with betting, I don't think they have every right to judge my betting life. Some people don't value gamblers, either you do it for fun or for other reasons, they will always see it as bad but as long as you know when to play, you don't have any reason to convince any person into believing you aren't addicted but to be sincere, if you do it during work time, that is really bad of you, it shows you are not a professional who values other peoples time and that will make you lose customers.

I have seen some casino in this forum that has been functioning right way back in 2013 and 2014 that is still functioning to date and we have some that were lunch this year and just lasted for a couple of months. There are so many reasons that contribute to the longevity of casinos been live for long such as keeping a good reputation and not scamming players, paying instantly when users request withdrawals, doing promotions and marketing to keep players in check, free slots and bonuses and many more. What kills casino projects faster than anything others are denying users withdrawals and nothing having enough funds to pay players are the quickest way your company will die, we have seen cases like that here where such casinos end up scamming users and locking their accounts for nothing. If you don't have enough resources to start a casino, don't open one.

I don't see anything wrong when a player plays betting becomes too high as long as the history proves that the player has more number of wins than the number of losses. I think we share the same location, there is this guy that has been trending on Twitter with the Mayor of Ekiti in Nigeria for giving bookies a headache with the number of winning tickets he has been playing back to back and these are not just small wins, they are in Millions (Naira) and virtually give his betting code to others to play, he help lots of people (usually as a giveaway as they used to say) to prove he doesn't post edited slips, judging from this example, I don't see anything bad in this kind of playing because he also accrues loss times but the winning rate is bigger.

You went extreme my friend, how on earth will you gamble your school money meant for school fees, I think reading from your storyline, the bet you made was virtual sports. Nothing drains the pocket like virtual sport because the condition of the game can change before a blink of an eye and seeing how your money gets burnt while watching can give one high blood pressure and anxiety and making the right decisions during that time is always difficult, before you know it, you will make the wrong move of playing with your last card with of at least making back the capital you have a stake in the game.


Learning? It is rather a mistake, you don't use urgent money to gamble in hope of making more, it always ends in pain and regrets.
Gambling doesn't ruin except if you are the addicted type and extremist who would do anything to wager the last money on any games.

You can win a bet in a reputable casino and still don't get paid a dim, it may be as a result of the player violating the rules, terms and conditions. Go to the reputation board and see accusations some users label against some reputable casino we have here, most often than not, it is as a result of cheating, using two accounts, bonus abuses, and not doing KYC when they request for one. However, some casinos also have the habit of ignoring users withdrawals when they are insolvent especially when players win something that will crash their financial pockets, they used tactics to delay the withdrawals which in my opinion is not good at all.

Congrats on the games you have won, going to a strip club must be your lucky day, seems like you have to keep those bannies by your side since they are etiquette of luck in your gambling mystery.
You had lots of fun but you forgot that this is a public forum and all users are responsible for what they post or display to the public, I doubt if you even read about the forum policy at all before posting a picture about cocaine and this shows you are dumb.

 
You are verified on Duelbit I believe and you have your document about you on that casino, if the agency authorised them to forward your details, trust me you would end up in jail man, nobody takes stuff and display it on the internet because anything posted on the internet will forever remain online.

The monthly fees I receive on bank statements alone are one of the reasons I have never been friendly with banks, they charge you on anything even while you're sleeping with the ridiculous justification that they're helping me protect my money. Banks cannot and will never match the innovation of Bitcoin.

Banks in my country have never been friendly, they charge you for interbank transactions, whereas bitcoin is the same, only varies with the input and output and the type of wallets address and doesn't charge you for other fees, such as SMS alert, ATM use fees, email alert fees, they charge you ₦50 when you receive more than a particular threshold (≥ ₦ 10,000) and they lock your account if they notice you are making large transactions. Now, I want to ask you: If Bitcoin did what these banks do, would it get to where it is today? The government is pleased to see that banks are large organizations that leach on the masses and they are always happy to watch because they are the owners.

I don't know your local currency, is it in USD or another currency?
If your currency uses its own currency,  I will advise you to make use of P2P channels, so that any Bitcoin you receive can be instantly converted to your own currency since you run day to day business and may be in need of cash, I think you can make use of p2p if your local currency is also in USD, all you need to do is to immediately convert your bitcoin and litecoin to USD at soon as you get a confirmation from the sender since p2p price are determined at the conversion time, you don't have to compensate if the buyer didn't send the money on time when the price drop below the price you put it up for sale. This should cover all your 4 questions since p2p are mostly free.

Micheal Saylor is a Microstrategy and has been buying tons of bitcoin and just like everyother investors who have shares in other investments, they all talk and predict how far a price can go and they do that to ive confidence to others who have invested on similar thing especial now that there is fear in hear and there of bear market.
I think these are just specualations, but I think we will see $64k again because judging by that 4 years he stated, we would have seen another bull run after the next bitcoin halving, we all know what usually happens after that, bitcoin price will soar into another level.

What did you smoke Mr Man?  

It's not a silly question, you're just trying to be clever, which will wind up costing you money and burning your hands. While some wallets do manually allow you to enter your derivation path, you can still set it the way it suits you. However, if you forget how the path was set, you will have to start searching for each corresponding private key for every wallet address you sent and received bitcoin, and this is not a healthy way for privacy and security. By default, most wallets will likely follow a standard derivation part to help you locate where your bitcoin is situated in any of the addresses.

As suggested above, extend your seed phrase with any word you can remember, it is easier to remember than a complicated derivation path that may be difficult for you to locate the trees of your wallet address.

Not everyone is a believer in fiat, they will never keep it regardless of market conditions and bear markets are also subjective. I saw a wallet address from a user in this forum who hold bitcoin throughout last year November when bitcoin hit an all-time high and till now, the user has refused to sell his bitcoin and it amazed me that the wallet received his first transaction a few years ago when bitcoin was cheap, some people are determined to hold until bitcoin becomes so scarce that holding one will be difficult.

Personally, I feel its a bit too late to be holding into fiat, bitcoin price has found its support around the $18k range and despite the FED and their interest rate, it is still holding that position, it will be better if you convert them and buy bitcoin now that the price is down, you ware having them at a discount, we may or may not see the $13k people are anticipating.

I understand your point and I'm a human, I have feelings and sympathy too but do you really think some prisoners deserve to see the sun? If one should judge from the crime that sent them to prison, they would have been castrated from the day they sent them to prison instead of giving them some little entertainment. That wouldn't even happen in today's prisons talk more of allowing a specialized currency but it is possible in corrupt states where warders still smuggle in some s**ting stuff for inmates.

Some countries are unclear regarding the legal status of bitcoin and cryptos, which is why people use them. Whether it is legal or illegal, people will continue to use it until a clear picture of the legal situation is available.

I remember back in 2020 in Nigeria before they stopped banks from facilitating bitcoin transactions, bitcoin legality was not clear, not until it became a tool of the political fight to fund protesters, and since the government in power felt that the youths were being used for agitation to fight their failed government, they decided to stop banks from processing bitcoin transactions, but even at that, it does not stop people from doing crypto because nothing has been said about it.

The same thing applies to some of these casinos, they are not actually licenced but that doesn't stop them from operating. However, it is possible that Netherland and Cyprus may charge them later in the future for doing that if they decide to legalise bitcoin.

Is there anyone in bitcoin right now who doesn't know a thing or two about social media scammers? They're no longer new to the public, all they've been doing is repackaging frauds that are far too obvious when you see them.

If you go to Twitter, it has become a mess to enjoy good replies without sporting a scammer in crypto related threads and it is very annoying, they have even decided to push CZ picture on all of their bots account to comment auto generate replies just to get peoples heads that CZ is doing a give away and Twitter has not found a single solution to these bots. We have these guys all over social media, but I believe Twitter and Youtube are the most dominating places where they hide and mimic channel owners, and nothing is done by the owners of these platforms.

Those who jump on the opium of bitcoin at all-time high will be having one of the difficult phases of bitcoin right now if it is their first time but of course as they used to say, tough times don't last(bear market), only tough people do(during a bull market). It is not a wrong thing to buy bitcoin at all times but sells it at a lower price is bad. If anyone right now is at loss, this is the perfect time to add more and with this measure, they don't need to wait forever before they sell their bitcoin because it can be exhausting with the price manipulation and the current politics the government has been doing with the market.


Who owns a bitcoin without his or her private key, it is like having a money loan to someone that may default them anytime they wish. the privacy should not be left out, I do hear some people use the terms "I don't do anything bad on the internet, if they need anything, I will give them", No! don't give out your privacy unchecked, they are big concepts of life that should be hidden from the internet.


Another big mistake is taking a loan if you don't have collateral or the means to pay it back when the time comes. I know people who take loans with over collateralized assets, but if you must do it, please be careful so you don't receive margin calls.

This is funny to me but I think it will be entertaining to keep prisoners out of their deep thoughts and depression, however, I doubt if that will be happening in this century, but my questions are:
How did they fund the casinos and where did they get money to bet in the first place, not as if all prisoners were once a cartel who do some drugs and could one way or the other smuggle things inside the prisoners.
what were the prisoner's warders doing while all this was going on? If they are aware and this operation happens in prison for 35 years, they should all serve their jail for compromising the prisons because that's a criminal offence, they didn't say much about that on the website.

 
Should we, therefore, draw the conclusion that the house is not fair to the players? What use does it serve to offer a bonus when they change the iteration such that you can't win? I feel that any casino company should always put honesty and reputation first, allowing players to win what they are entitled. No amount of tweaking will to stop cheaters from abusing those bonuses, but I think what they can do better as I have observed most casinos do, is attach terms and conditions to the bonuses they offer their players. Unfortunately, most of players fail to read these conditions, and it is only after they have won using these bonuses that they start complaining that the casino refuses to process their withdrawals.
