Virtual game is controlled by the house and shouldn't be encouraged. Players lose lots of money on virtual games yet it brings fast win. Its fast outcome can deminish a player's earning even after winning some funds, the urge to play again is what makes Virtual game look like its manipulative, and players can lose due to the house deciding what the scores would be. It's better to stick to real games than virtual games. Many players in my area don't play virtual anymore. They have gotten a fair share of lossess involved in such game.

Greed kept lots of investment below their expected standard in the market because they sold it all at 20k ATH back in 2017. It didn't occur to them that bitcoin can hit a better ATH again. That's what we get out of greed. Like the story of the goose, the money would finish and the investor will realize how too late it is to regret. While in the bitcoin market, I've understood the importance of investing our bitcoin wisely, not just hodling alone but knowing the right business to put our profits other than spending it on things that won't yield profits. Hence, we are supposed to enjoy the process, but with limited amount, not to run out of profits and also work hard to make extra money that'll go back into bitcoin investment. 

I've read of gamblers who made a living through Gambling though they lived a boring life because all day they'll be pinned to the slot machine, the only leisure they'll have is either to rest or go to the John. I found out that they work harder than 9-5 workers and they put huge bank rolls into gambling and gamble for a year or two, winning and lossing. However people are not advised to live such a boring life, not that players can't make a living through gambling it's possible. Some professional gamblers feature on TV shows and make money out of it; people watch them gamble on TV or they teach people the way to skillful or frugal gambling. Hence, I'm not sure how possible it is to earn a living through online gambling. But, experts achieve that playing on offline gambling houses, where comps and free rooms are given to big rollers.

Spam has to do with the platform and scam affects users on the platform. Spamming is a way of scamming an internet company or platform like the forum, or any other social media like Fb or Instagram. Black hat users create multiple accounts and spam such platforms to make money out of the platform through account sells or boosting a specific account for malicious purposes. That's why spam is equally frowned at by moderators like scam. Though Scam is bad because a single person bears the pain, but spam deals with the success of any internet establishment that's why I said, it's a tough attack on the internet. Between, spamming can also lead to scam. Take Spotify for instance people spam with fake streams to earn huge amount of money, it affects the company at large. Hence they are both the same thing, just that platforms focus more in securing their sites, that's why they follow up spammers aggressively than they do to scammers unless a person relays a solid report to the moderators.

Chasing losses must not happen in one go; a day. I mean we all chase losses, but the difference is that some want to win immediately while others don't even realize that they are chasing losses, so they play the next day and rest after losing for the day.  According to the link, I think the player doesn't understand his goal as a gambler, he just wants to win before he stops gambling for the day. That means he could end up feeding the house all his money. Because his aim is not to win, he won't stop if he wins a little amount. I think he is a compulsive gambler trying to justify his irresistible actions with a suitable term, finding closure. What stops him from going to bed after multiple loss. No need, OP,  to bother over such terms from players like that, he'll need to find counseling too.

The best way to set our goal is by limiting the amount we spend anytime we stake games; putting aside few bucks per day on gambling. Such practice will also help players to learn gambling better and make profitable decisions instead of spending all their bank roll in a day. A mistake that tends to remove the joy people have for gambling and they'll end up sad after losing it all. But, gradual expenses helps retain the fun aspect of gambling through long term plays. If a person schedule specific amount of money and map out a duration each day for gambling. They can save up money to gamble the next day. Hence, it requires discipline, because when we win the self control can get jeopardize and we tend to forget our initial daily gambling routine, which could result to extra loss of money.

All that happened to you, OP, are experiences that will take you to a better place in life. I've seen people who passed through such difficulties, and today they've become very successful, without bitcoin. However, its a good thing that you made it with bitcoin despite the volatility attached to bitcoin. My experience with bitcoin unlike yours was about the payment difficulty I faced as a marketer, clients offered to pay with paypal when their services was restricted in my country. My business almost didn't succeed until I figured bitcoin out and started asking clients to pay with bitcoin. Lost some who couldn't use bitcoin, but the few who paid in bitcoin kept my business running. Bitcoin I see as a payment method, never thought about trading bitcoin or saving bitcoin, until this forum url appeared on my screen while reading other internet forum, read about it and began to learn deep into the tech behind bitcoin, and it's been another added advantage. At least, I know the security measures to keep my coins safe from the hands of malicious people. Always keep up the good work Op and take care of your child.

"In a nutshell, the network works like a distributed timestamp server, stamping the first transaction to spend a coin. It takes advantage of the nature of information being easy to spread but hard to stifle." -- Satoshi

bitcoin is a volatile internet money that depends on the number of people who trades, buys or holds the currency.  It runs on the blockchain network; a chain of different computers running the bitcoin network. Working interoperable with each other, when one is down others continue confirming the authenticity of transactions.  The network can't stop working, even 1 node is enough to keep the Bitcoin network running effectively. Therefore, it's difficult to stifle the network as it'll require the attacker to stifle all the computers running on the network. Blockchain remains a very strong decentralized network with no central body in control of the transactions happening on the network.

Aren't the scam accusation threads a better way to determine a scammer in the forum? If the accused doesn't come to clear his name in the forum, they could be considered guilty. But, something about this forum why I think the scammer is alerted through a negative trust feedback is because not everybody gets notified when their name is quoted in a thread. So, some members may not know about the scam accusation on them, and if they're seen guilty for not responding they may get banned, without proves if they're innocent or not. Plagiarism on the other hand, affects the neatness of the forum; encourages spamming. If plagiarism is not frowned at then members wouldn't spend time crafting out quality writeups on the forum. On the internet, I think Spam is worst than scam as moderators can detect spam themselves yet scam requires both parties to defend themselves. What do you think about a user that copy and paste posts in the forum and gets paid for doing that isn't it a bad practice?

Get ready to often read posts with more than 4000 words. A month is too much, do you mean after a newbie introduces himself on the beginners and help board, they can make their next post in one month. How do you expect them to relay what brought them into the forum. what if the user prefers the board? how about the local boards too? your suggestion is like a security level for a community battling with strenuous spamming. On the contrary, It can promote account farming instead, members could create different accounts to be eligible to post on their desired boards. Looking at the responses, I think everyone including me understands your point, but it shouldn't be, what is important is the quality of the posts and the content it conveys to readers.

A handful of cryptocurrency casinos don't demand for KYC, but the rest do ask for KYC to tackle money laundering. Well in the cryptocurrency niche KYC shouldn't be a priority considering the nature of the currency. Players Identity should stay anonymous, even if the crypto transactions can be traced, when its about gambling, they should be some level of privacy. Regarding Op's questions, I'd say that a casino should be strict on under aged and addicted gamblers who hide on the pretense of being adults, by letting an adult to create the casino account. These has to do with life and safety of such players. They've been multiple cases of under aged players that borrow lots of money to gamble and ended up trying to commit suicide. Hence, if a casino is strict enough not to give room for such illicit act or boycott, lives can be saved. To achieve such a goal in the crypto casino niche would be difficult, but if an account is suspected to be operated by an under aged player, let it be flagged and the player would be required to provide some bank documents before processing their payments.

The COVID 19 pandemic tripled the job search competition in the world. And to become the right candidate for any position, self education on relevant skills is important. The AI technology is taking over lots of opportunities from humans and soon many occupations won't need man power anymore, rendering lots of people jobless. Teachers could miss out if Robots begin teaching in schools. So, people are meant to get hold of digital skills and learn continuously to be the best. Skills like networking; Cisco is very relevant in the world of today. Recruiters now look at IT skills to differentiate between unique applicants and it's an advantage to know advanced programming and designing. It's a new era, limitation isn't accepted in the cooperate world of today, a little skill you own that a competitor doesn't possess can land you the job. Therefore, to stay relevant job seekers must spend their spare time acquiring soft and hard skills.

Two things I think AI can resolve in the gambling niche are provably fair and payback percentage genuineness. Many casino sites present to players what they don't actually offer to them. AI can easily detect if the casino is genuine in their words and terms of service. For instance, a casino that claim to payout 90% but delivers 85%, AI can boldly flag such a casino as deceitful. Hence, talking about AI in gambling it should be for and against the casino. So, if individuals or players can train their AI to penetrate casinos using their API to provide such legitimate information to the public, many players wouldn't fall prey to organized lies made up by the house.

On the other flip, the casino can also use AI to hint newbies on the risk of gambling and advise them not to play more than they can lose. It'll help reduce many complaints raised by unguided newbies who lost it all.

Partitioning different OS in one system isn't possible for every computer user; lay man. I've read about it in my school days and it involves processes that should be studied before installing different system in the computer or an expert can handle that as well for the user. Though, it's a valid point, but not everyone can easily achieve that security measure.

Regarding Op's post I'd say that sharing our password sometimes to people we trust doesn't seem wrong. I could remember a morning I woke up and forgot my PC password, I don't know what happened to my memory, I tried multiple times to no avail. Luckily my brother has access to the laptop, I had to inform him about my login troubles and he recalled vividly the right password to access my PC. So, aside the disadvantages, they are benefits involved in sharing sensitive password to others. Even the private key, can be shared with a good spouse for future purposes. Nobody knows what can be occur.

You are right, but it's better to get hold of one league than to lose both leagues. As for their game with sporting Lisbon, Arsenal would win Sporting lisbon on a good day if their strength were focused on the Europa league, but they must have predicted that they may not win the Europa league, and decided to switch back to the sure league; premier league and invest all their time into the league. Haven't you wondered why the Sporting Lisbon vs Arsenal game didn't involve Arsenal top players until the ending time. Arsenal wasn't prepared for that game, secondly they missed lots of opportunities. Moving forward, the possibility of Arsenal to lose against Leeds is zero, like you said its theory, but some things can't be; the gunners will grab this EPL opportunity.

First, He will easily go broke for disclosing his jackpot win to his congregation. Nothing stops him from concealing his wins, and at same time shut down the church. Yet, I'd applaud him for opening up that he wasn't a chosen prophet and as well a deceit to people who trusted him. Second, if he doesn't have any other means of making money to train his family, that means all the money he earned will go back to the gambling house. As he'd be staking to earn more jackpots. However, congratulations to him for his big win.

Acknowledging the fun is a good quality of an advanced gambler, most players focus mainly on loss or gain that's why they don't enjoy the fun in gambling. When you ask people leaving the gambling house if they enjoyed the game they'll reply no, I lost! such players are considered as level 1 gamblers because they see gambling as a way to make quick money. The moment players begin to view gambling as a fun activity, this thread would be marked correct by all responders. Moreover, competing with the house and expecting to win all stakes isn't possible. Every game or hit we make on a machine contributes to the outcome of our games; win or lose. If the house wants a player to lose out all their stakes it'll easily drive away the player from the casino, so they have programmed the casino in such a way that we win as we lose money. Therefore enjoying the game, wouldn't hurt our feelings, which will help to enhance the self consciousness of the player to make better decision and study the machine too.

Since banned accounts are not revealed to forum members as banned, it won't be anyone's faulty if they merited such posts as that of a banned user. The quality of the post could be an attribute that made it irresistible for a member to award some merits to the post. It doesn't change anything, but if a user is aware that a specific account has been removed from the forum, it's a bad stewardship to waste merits on their posts. Hence, the forum doesn't have any penalty for that, if not, they would have disabled the merit button on any post associated to a banned account.

In the past, I had such experience too and spent a handful of time spinning on different faucet sites until I was fed up, as I didn't come up with a tangible amount. Though some faucets paid out good BTC that was in the early days of bitcoin. On the other hand, your screenshots reminds me that amongst the faucets I used then, I must have came in contact with freebitco. But, I can't recall if I still have the email attached to the account. Between it was fun to use those faucets, at least during leisure. Paying time to earn BTC.
