They are afraid because the US has a policy of blaming the site operator for any problems a US citizen might have. This was well visible in the case against the pirate bay where the US wanted the owners of the site extradited because US citizens had access to the site which meant the unlawful acts were committed on US soil. That's why you shouldn't blame the casino but yourself. You made 2 mistakes 1 was not withdrawing regularly and holding decent amount of money there, when you should have withdrawn every time you've decided to log out of the site and stop gambling for the day. It's much cheaper to send money again than risk it being stuck there. Then you chose a random phone number without checking - mistake nr 2.

I'd go with the flow and try to get someone to do KYC for you. Maybe it will allow you to get money back, maybe not, it's not going to be worse than that.

Because we need to understand things. This is in our nature. That's why people try to comfort each other with religious beliefs. They don't want their loved ones to go into nothing and disappear after death. They prefer to believe they are somewhere out there waiting to meet each other again.

When the price falls most of us want to know if there's a fundamental flaw or if maybe bitcoin was banned somewhere. If not then we can safely move on because traders selling in panic for no reason is just another day for bitcoin.


It's a matter of putting your mind at ease. I'm very confident in Bitcoin but when I see a 10% dip I often google news sites to see what's up. It makes me feel better.

Of course. Ross was made an example for other smart kids to feel scared and know that once you get caught the government literally owns you. They can do whatever they want.
The severity of his punishment shows how scared the government is of young smart guys like him.


It is safer as long as you keep switching places. Investigators look for patterns so they watch a spot and see that every time the admin goes online there's the same young guy sitting in the same spot.
You go there once - there's no connection. Twice - could be coincidence. Three, fur times and they have you.

Trying my luck in this well known campaign. Will change sig if accepted.

Actually you have to read their TOS to know for sure, but I'd expect that VPN is not allowed. If they are restricting you for some reason, maybe you can email them asking if your country is restricted or not. Some countries can block certain sites. For instance in the EU we get a warning page that this site is forbidden or restricted due to not being licensed in the EU, but it's possible to go past that and still play.

I feel like moving on and playing somewhere else is the best choice here, since there's literally hundreds of online casinos.

If this is true then maybe he could tell us what amount he was trying to sell. If the 10% limitation appeared when he was trying to sell, say, $100 in tokens, then the problem remains. You can't expect people to be trading $10 in tokens because otherwise they will be getting errors preventing them from trading. I haven't tried the option, but the token isn't that new. If we were talking about something that came out this month, problems would be completely normal.

If he uses the military it's going to be a bloodbath because such actions never end with a few bruises. Somebody is going to get shot, they will poke somebody's eye out with a rubber bullet, break some skulls and cripple people and that's going to escalate things even more. This still is a peaceful protest, but if politicians decide to choose violence they will learn that protesters can be violent too and guess what, the people don't depend on the government, they can live without it, but the government can't exist without people who support it.

And this is an example of what to do to get merit, OP.
You have to post something that makes the topic interesting, fun to read, informative, and so on.

Sorry, but this is funny when a banned user decides to evade a ban to ask how to get points that will allow him to participate in a campaign and gets his account caught again. You can't get more counterproductive than that.

It feels even better when you one day find out that you were paid $100 for the job and that's now $500 I had that with my first payments from signature campaigns from 2017. They were left on some small wallet made especially for tips from bitcointalk and I went to check it out again in 2021 and it was something like 6x the value in fiat Working for bitcoin can reward you multiple times in your lifetime, you just need some patience.

First of all, if someone says Bitcoin will go to 0 he's making himself look stupid and proves that he doesn't know anything about it.
0 is at this point impossible, simply because investors always calculate the risk - reward ratio and at some levels it simply becomes so greatly imbalanced that it would be a stupidity not to buy. Like when you see the upside potential of Bitcoin under 20k, it's already huge, which is why Bitcoin has never fallen more than 90%. At this levels the reward becomes 9x the risk, it's simply dumb not to put in 100$ when worst case scenario you lose another 10% and best case scenario you'll get a new all time high with 10x gain. There's simply no risk at that point.

People who repeat the Bitcoin to 0 narrative are trolls or idiots, that's my opinion.
Many of us would take loans to buy if Bitcoin went to 10k today, that's the truth. I'm not even going to mention hardcore bitcoiners who bought for less than $100 and are still holding. The fact that they exist make me 100% certain that prices like 1k USD for BTC are gone forever.

Ukraine was actually trying to pass this bill for months but it was rejected at first. I'm pretty sure it was in the press somewhere in Summer of 2020, back when Russia remained negative, so it's not like Ukraine is copying Russian laws.
I like what they're doing. First you ignore it, then try to fight it, then you find that if you can't stop it you can support it and make some money in the process. If people make money with Bitcoin they still pay taxes in your country, so why would you fight it?

It won't stop them because the government is basically trying to kick them in the balls instead of playing fair. The government hit first by restricting basic freedoms so people decided to protest and now the government is threatening them and stealing from them. This is the easiest way to make them more angry and keep the protests going. The government of Canada somehow doesn't get that to stop protests you have to negotiate. If you hit back with force you'll have riots and this isn't something the government can win. It will keep escalating until people start dying and then it's going to turn into an armed insurrection like in Ukraine in 2014.



 
Listen Bitcoin, think about what you're doing! Don't freeze people's assets, or else!

Betting multiple times simply decreases your chances of winning anything, but increases your bet multiply. It's just math as always.
Instead of getting 50% chance to win x2, you have 25% chance to win x4. If you like the odds it's up to you. Most people either play with low bets, low probability, high payout, or choose to bet high with lower multiply but higher chances to win. Or you can go high bet low chance with high multiply if you like to go YOLO.

Personally, I wouldn't even bother mixing 150 USD. Nobody is going to care what you spend such a small amount of money on and nobody is going to come after you for spending it. The only reason why you might need to mix it is if you were planning to pay for drugs Mixing, even through an exchange is always problematic. You have to send coins, pay fees, wait for it to be processed... Not something I'd bother for $150. These services are meant for larger money for it to be worth the time and expenses.

You're talking about the energy, but many countries face skyrocketing inflation because of the pandemic and what their governments did at that time. In 2020 they decided that the best way to fight the virus will be to lock people in their homes, which lead to businesses going bankrupt, especially those that operated on tight margins like cinemas. The main problem was that when they lifted the bans they still kept many strict rules like the number of people allowed in store at one time, you couldn't eat a meal at a restaurant and had to order, you couldn't throw a party, which killed the whole wedding industry... What did our "smart" rulers do? They printed some money and started giving it to businesses that had to be locked down. It sure saved them from going bankrupt for a while, but also made the inflation skyrocket because suddenly everybody had more money. Money that is worth less.

By printing the government imposes a tax on everyone. That's what they do when they have no money. They tax everybody and everything and the worst part about it is that many people don't even feel it. They don't get that additional 1% of inflation means 1% less of their savings every year. Tell them they now have to pay 21% income tax instead of 20 and you'll have protests, but not many people protest against money printing. Media tell them that inflation is a thing that happens, like it was some higher power dropping it on their heads.

It's a matter of perspective. For someone who bought it in 2020, it hasn't really decreased at all. One person will look at the all time high and that we went 50% down from it and say that it's down a lot. Someone else will look 2 years back and see that at that time people were hoping to see us beat the 2018 ATH by any number. We were in a bear market for years eying 20k as a crucial level to break once again and now we're sitting at 2x that price. This is in fact a very good price for Bitcoin to hold and we could stay at 40-50k level for another year or 2.
If you feel down by that 50% drop, you have to realize that more than half of Bitcoins is illiquid and people who bought them did it at prices much lower than 40k. If I were to sell now, I'd still be 600 - 800% in profit.

Bitcoin is doing great, even if it drops down to 25k it's still going to remain one of the best performing assets in the world.

They certainly have the money to do it, if they were able to get so many famous people to represent them, but if anything like that came out both Stake and Drake would lose some credibility. More probably they gave him some discount to play and posting the screenshot was his choice. It was an expensive ad by Stake because he won a lot of money, but I'm sure it will be profitable for them in the long run.
If we're talking legal stuff, do you really have to disclose every single deal you get. Say you get a free tesla from Musk. Does driving it and posting pictures on social media count as paid advertising? If there was no contract between the parties that made you post these pictures, there's no obligation for you to even disclose that the car was a freebie.

The plan is great, just make sure there IS an execution. Many people make plans to give BTC to someone or donate to charity, and then they do nothing and life goes on until they have another plan that's never going to come to fruition. A gift is nothing without some basic knowledge. Make sure your sister doesn't spend it all at once. This gift has a chance to become something life changing if she holds it until the next halving. Chances are we'll be at 300k USD in 2 years.

Last time I heard Russia was banning mining, then China banned it, then miners moved to Kazakhstan and had some problems there... Yet' after all this craze Bitcoin's hash rate is at all time high, which you can confirm here: https://www.blockchain.com/charts/hash-rate
Governments aren't stupid, they see there's money to be made here and since all attempts at banning it have failed and it's still growing, maybe the right approach is to simply allow it to flourish and profit from it. Russia with its high inflation could use some new tax payers in the form of big mining companies.

All done, thank you.
