You are a Diamond III player, so they should have been a bit more accommodating to you, because you have shown that you invested a lot of money and time into their casino.    Unfortunately, we do not know why Stake support handled it this way, because a $400 loss.. would have been nothing to a casino of their size... and also to lose a high roller like you. 

I would have liked to hear the Stake Support side of this, just to be fair that both parties had their say... but I guess this will not happen. I hope you get this sorted out.... and that you stay with Stake, because they are much better than a lot of other casinos out there. (Believe me.... some support on other casinos are horrible) 

You have to search for the one thing that people cannot go without and you invest in that, because whatever happens to the global economy, people will have to buy that...and if you are the supplier of that.. you will become very rich.

I would buy a farm or even a small piece of land and I will cultivate my own produce to sell on the markets. You will be amazed to see how much tomatoes can be grown in a small greenhouse. (Open field cultivation can produce 100-120 ton/ha. Table tomato cultivation in greenhouses can yield up to 500 ton/ha.) 

I think it is easier to "centralize" Bitcoin mining, when someone can simply buy a shitload of tokens and have a huge say in the direction that the project is going..... in PoS, that is the case. A Fiat whale can simply buy a lot of tokens and then have a huge say in a lot of decisions that usually were made through consensus from Full nodes in Bitcoin mining.

In PoW.... this is not as easy, because you have to invest a lot of time and money into ASICs and you have to hire people to run those mining farms and you have to spend on the expenses of such a mining farm. (Electricity & labour & hardware etc...) 

The trust relationship between them and Elon Musk was broken, before he bought the platform. (They even went to court to fight against him) So why should he keep them in the same positions, if they are working against him. 

I would have done the same thing, but I would have sat down with them and explained my actions and then I would have fired them. Twitter management made controversial decisions, that went against freedom of speech..and that is the main reason why Elon Musk fired them... they do not have his vision for what he wants to do with the platform. 

The Exchanges are not only for Crypto to Fiat conversions.... people also use it as a trading platform to trade in and out of Alt coins, so they will still exist in the future for that purpose. 

I predict that more and more people will use it as a wallet too, because they are used to custodial services protecting their money. (Which is the last thing you should do, but people do not listen) 

You have to look into the ToS of the site that you signed up to, because they can have a clause in there ...that gives them the right to use your data in certain circumstances. (Example : Promotional material when you win Big)

I seriously doubt that the casino will disclose the players real identity, but they might give the players casino name and the BetID as proof of the big win. 

Unregulated casinos will do whatever they want to ... because they have nothing to lose, if they do something like this.

What did you guys think of Mikey and Steve's first Stream on DLive on Saturday? I think everything went pretty good for two people who has not done this on their own before. 

Steve handled the drop's like a Pro..... and I think Mikey will get the hand of it..as soon as Steve has shown him the ropes and sorted out the privileges to do it. 

Eddie can be proud of these two guys.... now it is time for some of the other people to also join the 3rd spot... when Eddie is gone. 

Well enjoy all the money that I am feeding from this side... because most of my Sports bets ends in a "Loss" .... I am betting on different platforms and I hardly win anything. My Sport knowledge is rated between average to good... but it seems as though Sports betting is not my calling. 

UFC fights are very tricky.... and one huge blow or kick can turn the odds in your favor or destroy you.... so you were extremely lucky. 

Yes, I saw that ...... it was actually just a typo ..and someone saw that and thought it was catchy.. and they continued doing it. Some people seem to believe that it is the abbreviation for "hold on for dear life" 

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hodl.asp  .... I also saw a guy with a T-shirt in a Crypto movie that said "Hodl" ..the name of the movie is "Bitcon" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14463198/

I think it is a controlled experiment to see how many people are playing from Canada and what games they might make available to them on that Server. If you look at the UK Server, you will see that only a limited amount of games are available.. so I think they want to do the same with Stake.ca  

The thing is..... most players are simply going to use VPNs and continue playing like they used to. It will get tricky, if they want to withdraw their funds after a big win on Slots that they are not supposed to play on.

The whole idea with Pseudo anonymity is to not re-use addresses that can be linked back to you, because you used it for several things. Satoshi wanted to promote the idea to use new addresses for everything you do, to protect your pseudo anonymity.

Satoshi was also experimenting a lot with his new "invention" ..so he mined lots of coins and moved it around to experiment with the transfer of tokens and simulated payments. 

There are a lot of Fiat casinos that added Crypto currencies and now suddenly they look like Crypto casinos. Fiat casinos are those casinos that only accept traditional payment options.. like Credit cards etc.

I think the "Brick n Mortar" casinos or land-based casinos will eventually fund the development of online casinos for the future, because overheads for "Brick n Mortar" casinos are much higher than with online casinos.  

I really think NFTs are just a new trend or FAD that will blow over soon.... like we saw with the ICOs. (I hope I will not regret saying this, but after the whole ICO thing... I have lost some confidence in all the new technologies that are being used to "make" money. 

You can look at these two links ==> https://cointelegraph.com/news/limited-edition-nfts-unlock-access-to-crypto-casinos  and also https://www.gbhbl.com/how-online-casinos-use-nfts-and-blockchain-technology/

Enjoy!

What happens when someone dies? ...Answer: Someone or an organization inherit his coins... so it is just natural that it might be used.    He was not Satoshi Nakamoto.... so I do not know why people have this obsession to monitor other people's wealth.

He was cryopreserved by the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, so I guess this foundation has to be paid to do this? I do not know if you pay for this before you die... or do they put money into a trust to pay for this?

Which "Men's Journal" are you referring to OP? When you post something like this, you have to post the proof in the form of a Url link or even a picture of the journal, if it is not something online. (Example : Men's Magazine)

People want to know how they came to that decision and if it is worthy of their time to investigate it's validity. There are a lot of competition out there and there are a lot of unethical methods used to get the edge over other competition. (Paying for good reviews or casinos funding review sites) 

I think one of the reasons why I prefer to gamble online is the fact that the most popular Slots are almost always occupied in a Brick n Mortar casino, so you have to wait for someone else to finish, before you can play that Slot. (Some will even leave their card in the Slot and then they will leave it there, until they get back.... causing a lot of frustration) 

When I play at Online casinos... my favorite Slots are available 24/7 and I can sit there for hours playing it, not having to feel guilty that I am hogging the Slot and that other people also have to get a chance playing it. 

The gambling strategy explained here are called the Martingale strategy and it is definitely not infallible, because you can lose whatever you gained within a couple of bets, when you hit a losing streak. Never automate this strategy on Dice, because you need to control this strategy for it not to wipe you out. ==> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system)

I started experimenting with this strategy on Freebitco.in back in the day... and it was a hit and miss for me every time I tried it. There are many variants on this strategy, but most of them are crap. 

Elon Musk has already shown that he is and possibly will be the richest person in the world for a long time into the future. So, when you have one of the wealthiest people in the world, supporting Bitcoin... you know that there are something "good" about it. 

Can you imagine what will happen if he successfully colonize Mars and when the Earth starts to spiral out of control? He will then be the most successful person on Mars too.. 

The problem is.... for every Positive news.... there are 5 FUD attempts to sabotage the impact that the positive news would have had on the markets. The paid media are being supported by lots of money to spread negative news about Crypto currencies, because their masters wants Bitcoin to fail. (Puppet masters from Fiat systems)

So, yes... we need all the positive news we can get to counter the FUD that are spread. Make a point of it to search for it and keep posting it in the future. 

Can you tell us where you are getting your Cooking Oil from and how much of this are coming from your own produce? The countries that are struggling ..are the ones that are mostly importing Oil from the Ukraine and now with the war, Ukraine cannot produce enough to export to other countries... or their crops was destroyed by the Russians.

Also, how much of the oil that are on the shelves, where stock that was stockpiled in warehouses, before the shortages started? A lot of the old stock are now sold at inflated prices... even if it was bought at a much lower price.
