You know, mate, I rarely talk bullshit, about being hero and all that crap. If I stay, with the understanding that my government is crap, I will find myself difficult to cooperate, and if I speak too much, the chance is I'll be jailed or even killed. As an ordinary citizen, I have no stake as well, so if the regime change after a bloody civil war, the chance is I'll have nothing to gain.

Well, the circumstance changes if I'm one of the tribe leader (or descendant), if enough people support me, I'll liberate the people from tyranny! Until I become the dictator that you hate. And the cycle continues...

"Blockchain" as in the holistic system of Bitcoin is interesting and seems useful, but is it necessary? Well, yes, if people can use the immutable ledger to its maximum potential. At the moment I don't see interesting apps utilizing the database/ledger. I only see the tokens (cryptocurrencies) which are only a part of the blockchain. If you count "centralized blockchain" however, many apps utilizing the smart contract for various cool stuffs, but if it's centralized why don't just run it over AWS?

Or maybe the ledger/database is just to "support" the token, thus it's not important. It meant to be left alone, not to build any apps on top of it.

Kalau kontrol tenaga dalam masih belum sempurna, memang lebih baik dijadiin IDR semua masukin rekening bini (kalau udah punya), atau pakai hardware wallet + gembok kalau mau hodl. Dari pengalaman ane, kalau punya kripto di hot wallet ga bakal bisa bertahan lama, yang ada muasin nafsu main.

Ya kalok hokinya kek agan-agan atas ane sih lain ceritanya.

Bau ngarep? wkw.. konon listing di Binance itu melalui penunjukan langsung. Token/koin yang dianggap CZ seksi.

Sebutulnya yang join itu ane yakin juga lebih banyak dari yang posting hasilnya, misalnya pemain cheap kek Betright ma ane, tiap kontes juga main, cuma malas posting hasilnya krn ga dapet multiplier gede. Mungkin bedanya kalau ada 6 pemenang, ya jadi agak kurang malasnya buat posting hasilnya, cuma dari segi partisipan ya sama aja

Let's see gemana result besok, mayan hadiah totalnya tambah $25, trus yang disunat cuma $20 dari #3 & #4, ga banyak efeknya lah buat para pemain kompetitif

Surest strategy for newbies, especially in this forum, is to learn and build their account. There are vast opportunities, besides signature campaign, to earn cryptocurrency in the ecosystem. Holding is profitable in the long run, but you still have to (1) buy, and (2) wait. If you buy at ATH, you will have to wait for long until new ATH and finally rake a significant profit. It took about 3 years since the 2017 just to have a 3x return.

Crypto gambling is great! What I mean by crypto is not just BTC, but other coins as well. If you use cheap coins like LTC, XRP, TRX, etc., the fees are almost zero. How about the OP's case? Well, BTC for gambling depends on how much $$$ you want to use, and the "season." Transferring thousands of dollars is possible in BTC with just $20 fee, it has no limit unlike your debit/credit cards. In some period, BTC fees were also cheap less than <$1.

Just use cheap coins man if you only play with a small amount.

We can't control market activities. There will be buying and selling because of various reasons and I believe that's not related to the centralization/decentralization nature in Bitcoin. Decentralization is a network "philosophy."

Right now a super rich entity can accumulate Bitcoin and nothing we can do about it. It's a free market after all. What he can do with his huge bag is just sell/dump the market, price tank, rebound, and nothing bad will happen to the network.

I'm more concerned about the pump and dump, plus market manipulation that will taint Bitcoin "brand" and make it more difficult to buy/sell because of KYC and stuff.

Democracy is just a fundamental philosophy, and it sure has flaws including the rule of majority. Hence countries, in this case, Nigeria, uses Federal Republic so the minority (in theory) also have some power. I believe the problem is not about the political system, but about the people. As stated:

The government didn't practice what they preach.

So what to do if you have an oppressive government? For me, I'd try to be successful in my life so that I can move out to 1st world country. I found staying and trying to change the situation is not worth the effort.

Yes, it's working to some extent. The thing is ETH offers "world computer" but failed to scale and stuck with high fees just like BTC (or worse).

Those BTC maxi shill of course saying that all coins except BTC is a shitcoin. They are just being paid to do so.

Anyway, IMO ETH with its pre-mine (and hard fork ETC) still inferior to Bitcoin, not necessarily called "shitcoin."

TRUE.

Rich people don't love money, they invest (spending money) to get more money. It's risky and most of the time they lost money, but it doesn't stop them to try, spending more money, and finally succeed. The rich understand that money is just a tool.

From the last 12 years, sure Bitcoin is a phenomenal thing (asset, money, or whatever you want to call it). Not only we can use it as a hedge but also it can make us rich! The important question is, what will happen in the next 12 years? Nobody knows.

However, from short time perspective, the volatility won't protect you from inflation. It's only applicable in the long time horizon.

Money can satisfy most of your needs and wants, so it will make you happy. But there are some needs and wants that cannot be bought, for example, loving parents, a loving spouse, well behaved kids, friends, sense of accomplishment, etc. thus after you gain enough money, adding more won't increase your happiness.

Try to spill your drink to a VIP in a nightclub, let's see if the guy stops his bodyguard from beating you 

Shitty person will become shittier if he has money. Money only enhances your inner personality.

If about psychology, yeah dopamine shot is the main reason of addiction both trading and gambling, the pleasure of winning big money in a short time. I find compulsion loop explanation is more straightforward:

Source.

The good news is we can break this loop by obtaining the reward aka dopamine by doing simple activity, such as cleaning up our room, posting on bitcointalk, walking a dog, etc. Just simple tasks to divert the craving and getting the dopamine anywhere else than the casino.

It's treated as income and some (depend on the local regulation) fully taxed (deducted) when you win. Let's say you win a $1 million lottery, you will receive less than $1 million. In my country, raffle prize is treated as a taxable gift and deducted by the organizer with 25% rate.

AFAIK in the US, if you lose equal or more than your win, you don't have to pay taxes (it's deductible), but you have to do some paperwork/accounting.

I use Binance as well, and it has no issue. Maybe OP is from a country restricted from Binance ToS? If he can use Binance, better use that exchange.

Anyway, rather than use BTC + mixer, why not use Monero? It should be cheaper, and if you use casino like Duelbits, you don't have to worry about price fluctuation.

Ente tekem dulu tombol search gan, tidak perlu bikin thread lagi:


Ini exchange keknya cuma buat jualan DIGA doang, kalo ane sih mending pakai yang sudah legal dan bereputasi.

Sayangnya kemenangan-kemenangan lagu lama udah habis buat main slots, alhasil dari dulu sampai sekarang cuma bisa pasang 1 mobil di Wednesday race.
Ya kalok agan-agan punya banyak jangan lupa "tips main" besok kalau jual. #AlwaysNgemis

Hahaha, ane langsung dump waktu itu habis distri
Lumayan kalo gak salah jadi $150 pokoknya ga banyak. Jarang ane BigWin di juday/trading.

Smart move from Stake offering 10% more bonus if users go through lv.1 KYC. They stated "Of course, you know how much we respect player privacy! This is 100% optional, and you will not receive any less bonus for not verifying." Giving incentive for KYC instead of penalizing users for not doing KYC. Thumbs up!

Anyway, do you guys find 10% tempting to do KYC?

IOI ini kenceng banget promosinya sampe-sampe ada Mr. Beast juga
Habis token burn eh buyback... Sekarang harga udah (atau masih) di angka $3, tau gitu dulu borong banyak waktu $0.4 fix di platformnya.
Keknya ini proyek paling sukses yang rame di SFI. Dulu LOTEU, YLD, XBASE harganya semakin suram.
