The evidence is extremely watered down weak FUDsauce. I would wager that everyone is so invested in Bitcoin and they need some distractions to keep their minds off of selling during scary dips and FUD moments. Who really cares if he is Japanese or British. What is most important is Bitcoin itself. If he, Satoshi Nakamoto would ever make the bold and unnecessary decision to ever show himself, all that might do is put a lot of people into panic mode that he too, is only human and might even "give up" on Bitcoin someday, even though he has no real power over Bitcoin. He does own around what, 5% of the mined Bitcoin?

They keep saying...institutions, regulations, etc etc.
The regular money is not real, but bitcoin is real.
So it is understandable that people with fake money want to disparage "real money".
However, the "fake money people" have power.
It might take 40 year for that power to slowly seep from the "fake money" to "real money" and if it doesn't and they succeed in corrupting bitcoin, then the current fin system might not able to survive.
I am just going to 'hibernate' and wait; the trend should become visible in 10-20 years or so.
I came to this very conclusion myself around 6 months ago. Unfortunately being a little "over the hill" means I can't really afford to keep waiting for everyone to wake up. Looks like I will be taking my BTC with me to the grave :-( Well first of all, they will not be able to corrupt Bitcoin. Lets get that clear. Secondly, screw them. Everyone has heard of Bitcoin by now. If they don't want to be part of the future or are too lazy to research best ways how to increase their wealth in 2022, then they don't deserve to have an appreciating asset like Bitcoin. Early bird gets the worm. Screw latecoiners and their conservative, wishy-washy attitude towards the concept of money. Oh wow I like this guy already. |

And in my opinion ChartBuddy deserves more merit. He is an honest and hard working person.
I think he might be very lonely. Sometimes I see him late at night, just posting and posting. Almost nobody ever replies. But he keeps going in the hope someone might notice him. Sadly, there are no old age homes for polar bears. Maybe Greenpeace can get on that instead of Bitcoin's energy usage. I was trying to highlight the barren-wasteland background. Not sure if anyone remembers where polar bears are supposed to live but its not supposed to be a desert dried out from man-made climate change. (although maybe someone set him lose in a foreign habitat for shits and giggles?  ) But the best place for an old bear to die is in his icy habitat. At least he will die happy... 1.7 million years. Thats how long the (newest) polar ice caps have been around. Then came the Industrial Revolution. ~200 years later, here we are. The fact that there are people who still think the ancient Arctic sea ice melting at a rate of ~13% per decade is somehow a natural event is sad.  Now the ice is going to melt before 2100 regardless of how hard we cut back on emissions. But whatever, fuck it. I loved Waterworld. , the sea is not raising more than it usually does and has been doing since measurments started, according to University of Lund, The climate of Scandinavia was about two degrees c hotter during the stone and bronze ages than it is now, there was pelicans in southern Sweden, and about one degree hotter during the viking age, we are not in "burning up" mode, we are freezing compared to the first 8000 years or so after the ice receded. And so on, reality is not playing ball I'm afraid. Edit: were pelicans? I'm always unsure about was/were. Can you show me some sources? Here's mine: https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/arctic-sea-ice/Edit: Even if the Artic temp did go down by 0.22 C° in the last three decades, the artic ice will be soon gone and nobody can deny that. We have passed the acceptable temperature a long time ago. |

First they created huge supply of Ethereum coins using PoW and now they burning it using PoS. Ans vitalik saying it's a big success ? They are not really burning them. If anything, they are making more. It just all becomes more and more worthless while the people slowly realise how badly they have been duped.   The KPMG testimony on all of faketoshis forgeries is scrumptious.
You got a link for me, buddy? |

On a completely different note, are you (reader), willing to perform KYC when being offered an appealing bonus? For example, a deposit bonus with fair rollover/wager terms. One of the main reasons attractive deposit bonuses are not common in the crypto space is that they are highly abusable when no KYC is required. It would be great to hear your opinions.
KYC wont really be necessary if we do speak or talk about bonuses and it wont really be that prone to abuse as long you do set out specific rules or terms.There might be some lessening of some terms so that people would find it interesting but you shouldnt forget that this would be strictly 1 person per 1 IP.I dont really see any possible ways for it to be abused since this is mostly the case where bonuses been abused if there would be no limitations per user on certain household or IP.We've seen some sites do being wrecked just because they had forgotten to set these common specific rules. KYC has its reasons. From a legal and technical standpoint is serves to protect both the rights and lawful regulational activities of online gambling casinos as well as the rights and freedoms of individual players/customers/clients. So saying that KYC won't really be necessary without viewing the legal requirements and the technical security perspective is a bit irresponsible. And I would never recommend going such a path. Especially if you put in a lot of hard work to create and run your own online gambling casino. As far as IPs go, without KYC you can expect people to change their IPs and register multiple accounts with which they can cheat the casino out of bonuses and other things. Its also not a good idea to leave out KYC because of this. |

97 percent of scientists say man-made climate change is real.
I'm sorry but science is not a popularity contest and peer review "groupthink" does not trump basic physics that been accepted for a lot longer than some faux scientific clownery that tries to pretend that 4/100ths of 1 percent of the atmosphere can act as some kind of thermal "non-return valve". It doesn't require peer review because no claim is being made that runs contrary to long-accepted principles of physics (unlike the idea of Co2 heat "trapping"). By the way, if you think that oil & gas companies are the enemies of modern day environmental nonsense think again. They are pushing it more than anyone. Look into who was Secretary General of the U.N. Conference on Environment and Development (Rio "Earth Summit") which effectively founded highly politicised bodies like the IPCC. An oil tycoon. They like it amongst other things because it serves the basis for financialising scarce resources and re-hypothicating them in the form of derivitive markets that they can control such as carbon credits. My god. My physics degree is worthless. What do I know? You have opened my eyes. He obviously is such an amazing scientist that he does not need other scientists to review his papers? Or maybe the reason why his paper has no peer reviews is because he does not want anyone poking holes in his logic? Or maybe his colleagues do not want to endorse his bullshit by staking their hard-earned reputation? I wonder...  His paper is basically the shitcoin of research papers. Next you're going to be telling us that there are no wrong answers in math and anyone saying otherwise are group thinkers. Literally 4 seconds of googling: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/mar/22/top-oil-firms-spending-millions-lobbying-to-block-climate-change-policies-says-reportHow the oil majors have spent $1Bn since Paris on narrative capture and lobbying on climateAnother 2 seconds: https://www.americanprogress.org/article/oil-lobbyists-use-rigged-system-hamstring-bidens-climate-agenda/Edit: your beloved "research paper" has a literal meme for a title... Your "scientist" seems to not have a degree title. Not even an engineering title. He's a nobody FFS, a random pedestrian larping as a scientist... He probably wears a white lab coat to family gatherings that he wasn't invited to. The denial is real. |

Everyone loves to become a successful being but success definition differs for everyone. Most people see success as being fame and rich. Although money is a huge driving factor for a lot of things and an ultimate measuring stick for whether or not a business is successful but this doesn't fully define success. Success is about claiming and speaking up for what is important to you. Consider these and tell if they are successful
👉👉a rich and a famous man with a broken home
👉👉a rich and a famous man that has failed to impact on others.
👉👉a money corrupt rich and famous man
👉👉a ritualist with great fame.
Although this people are rich and famous but aren't successful at my own part. There is always a shortcut to riches and being famous but success comes through hardwork. There are many rich and famous people who have attempted suicides in their life. If being rich is being successful, then what made them to take such disastrous steps? Sanjay Dutt is a son of a famous politician and is one of the richest celebrities, Sunil Dutt. Still, he is behind lock-up. Is this what we call as success? Many gangstar becomes rich out of crime and corruption but they are not successful in our society. This is part of what causes increasement in crime rate and corruption in the world as everyone want to be rich so as to be called a successful being. A successful man is one who finds his purpose and creates a life where he can fulfill that purpose.
CONCLUSION
Let's stop making money and fame the only measure for success. Being successful is being happy and satisfied with ones fully achieved dreams. Money cannot buy satisfaction and happiness. Satisfaction and happiness is the true definition of success and anyone without this can not be declare as being successful.
Success cannot really be measured any other way except from subjective viewpoints. And those are different for every single person on earth. Everyone sees success differently. A person with good health sees success in the quantity of money or material belongings. A person with crippling terminal health issues sees success as having lived to see yet another sunrise. The most dangerous thing we really do, which messes with the mental and emotional state of people is to force our views of success unto them. And unfortunately that is exactly what is happening to us that makes us so miserable. We need to stop that. Personally, I see success in Bitcoin.  |

Read this. See in particular Page 14. There is no "impact" on climate from crypto mining and not from Co2 either. F It's all described here - written by a lifelong gas turbine engine designer. i.e. someone who actually understands the science of thermodynamics as opposed to a geologist, oceanographer or other hand-waving clown drawing lines and arrows all over the place. 
If you're going to promote oil lobbyist brainwashed half-baked intellectuals then at least cite from actual peer-reviewed scientific journals not some wordpress bullshit from a "turbine engine designer" who cannot write a research paper correctly and uses a few rudimentary high-school physics formulas. But I guess all those graphs must have impressed you. 97 percent of scientists say man-made climate change is real. The other 3 percent's average expertise is far below that of their colleagues. source: https://www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pnas.1003187107I wonder which category your "turbine engine designer" belongs to? And even the most doubting of climate deniers will see the mountains of plastic, chemical waste and other disgusting shit floating in every single part of our oceans if they dunk their empty heads into the water. Do we really want to continue encouraging the pollution giants to keep doing this? Does your sushi taste better with microplastics? Or maybe cancer-causing chemicals in our air smells better than crisp, clean, fresh air? As to your misunderstanding of Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation, you are leaving heat capacity in relation to higher mass density completely out of your equation. Keep our planet clean. |

To me both look good, investing in gold first or BTC later, but I'm confused by the current market conditions especially in terms of ROI, who is the fastest to move on?
In terms of ROI you will definitely find Bitcoin to be the winner due to a higher price volatility. But if you are not good with managing your investments, you will find that ROI heading down into the ground faster than you can say cryptoprofits. Gold is a sure thing currently only due to the fact that is has many uses and very little substitutes. Also it being a limited resource also helps in the ROI equation. Quite a lot too. But you would need years to see a return from gold investments to even compare to Bitcoin returns. If you are the patient, risk-free type of person then gold might suit you better. However Bitcoin has proven itself time and time again since 2009. If 13 years worth of proof of concept is good enough for you, then Bitcoin could be a good choice as an investment. Just do not sell on emotion. Thats really the most important part. |

But what are rich Bitcoin people and aspiring rich Bitcoin people doing else except Bitcoin? Let’s collect some facts! - Owning a large house and a pool - Large glass front in direction of your pool - Watering your large garden extensively
- Your garden is always in top style- Living in a mediterranean climate zone (or similar warm areas, like California (or Florida))- If you don’t own a large house and a pool, you are living on a rooftop (including a pool)- Advocating for a free market- Owning an American Flag (‘Murica!) and supporting it- Good dining every week- Lambooo - Your car has a HODL! plate- Owning a separate room for observing Bitcoin (TA)
- Owning multiple large screens to observe Bitcoin- Owning or renting a yacht - Posting Memes on WO… Some facts are only applying to rich people and not aspiring people. Surely, my list isn’t complete. You can always add a comment and present more facts. Have fun getting rich! wagmi  Ironically, you do not actually need to be rich to do 11 out of the 15 things that you mentioned in your list. I highlighted those things in bold letters, just to show you.  Having fun is just living. You do not need a lambo or a big house or a yacht to have fun. I am pretty sure lots of non-rich people can rent a yacht though. Even if just for a few hours. But what a waste of money that would be to most of normal people... A yacht or a lambo is really just a status symbol for showing off. Basically showing off is the one activity people who are not rich cannot afford. And anyone not eating good food everyday is not really living. They are voluntarily struggling (unless they are very very poor, in that case, its understandable). |

I have to say, I am quite proud of you guys. Not a single answer other than a big "NO". I think that perhaps the OP is a bit new at cryptocurrency, despite his aged account and might be feeling very nervous due to the current dip, aka "correction". So I do hope that the poll provided you some relief, after seeing how strong our assurance is about Bitcoin and generally, most cryptocurrency. Although personally, I would leave out the cryptocurrency part and just go for Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a sure thing, every other crypto... Not so much.
You should be prepared for scary sell-offs in the crypto world. The price volatility is amazingly high and can make you dizzy. Most important thing is not to panic, keep your wits about you and step away from the keyboard. Just hodl. Really, thats the best advice anyone can give you.

Going by the very fact that nobody in the Bitcointalk community actually knows what "coin flashing" actually is, I would wager to think that it is not actually anything. Either you misunderstood something that someone told you or somebody is trying to lie or scam you out of your money. I myself have never heard of "coin flashing" either and I have been trading for a long time, so there are not many terms about trading that I am unfamiliar with.
But if you asked me to use my imagination and describe it as best as I could, I would have to guess that coin flashing sounds either like something that market makers do in high frequency trading or something that resembles making coin origins untraceable. Like coinmixing or something.
But as I said, it probably does not exist.

Alright so after an initial look at the hybrid casino "chipstars", I can say that the User Experience Design is not too shabby. I am even a bit impressed if this is not some copy paste website which was only slightly modified to make it look somewhat original. From what I can tell, thats not the case here. Furthermore the website does not try to hide anything of importance like legal texts or KYC requirement issues.
What I am having troubles with is the fact that Chipstars claims to be a community-based casino but when I look on your Twitter, I see almost 2k followers but almost no engagements with your social media posts. This leads me to believe the followers are just there for padding the account and making it look like you have a bigger community than you really do. If that is the case then it feels disingenuous to me.

How does one who lives in a gambling restricted country legally get around owning an online casino that features provably fair mechanics? Are there things that most don't know when stepping into the business?
Thank you, all.
I would have to agree with the previous posters on this issue. There are a lot of risks and avoiding issues will be very hard, as you would be operating illegally. You would have to offer your services in a shady, secretive way, like through the darkweb or something. And in the end, the probability of you getting caught is extremely high. So there really is no point. You should just look into finding a grey area. For example, what is and is not considered "gambling" and how can you offer gambling-type services while remaining in the legal area? In my country, for example, skill-based gambling is not really considered gambling and you would have no problem offering such services. Maybe you can find a loophole for your own country? I recommend asking the people of your own country. We have local boards, perhaps you can ask there? |

Have you ever had an experience betting in which you knew that you were going over the limits of you finances and still continued? I have one playing a game, it was absorbing plenty of my time and despite me knowing it, I was kind of hooked on it. It was not a financial problem, but left me wondering how easy is to actually fall into a bad habit and how difficult is to break it.
I would wager to think that thats a human experience that everyone has gone through. A very unpleasant way to rediscover your own weaknesses but I cannot think of a single gambler in this community who has not had the displeasure of going through their funds, more than they expected when they started the day. Its fine. Everyone is only human. Live and learn. If anything, it serves as a more or less slightly painful lesson not to do it again. I would think that I am a more careful gambling enthusiast because of stupid mistakes like that. At some point you see the money losses as "lesson fees". You can always come here to vent, though |

I really doubt that there is any need to panic. Although for the time being, getting your funds out of stake.com would probably be a very smart bet. There are other good online gambling casinos to play on during this whole fiasco.
Although that being said, I think anyone can sue anyone for anything and demand any kind of sum. That does not make it a fact that stake.com has already lost. In fact, this could and probably might turn out to be complete hot air. Or as some people would say, a "nothing burger".
400 Million in damages in nothing to scoff at. Depending on the outcome of the lawsuit and the current financial stake of stake.com, things might go downhill really fast. Anyway, personally I will keep away and wait to see what happens.
The reputation of stake.com is now starting to be compromised because regardless of the outcome of lawsuit, people will already have their advanced thinking about this casino like putting their funds here will not be safe at all. Although I believed that long time users of stake.com might still be sticking on it but newbies will definitely develop fear about this case. I do not think that the lawsuit will compromise the reputation of stake. This case doesn't even involve a player or scamming a player of their money. So definitely the case does not affect the relation of Stake and its player. Besides, the statement of the complainant is far from being justified because the complainant doesn't have enough proof that he was "discouraged" by the owner of Stake. Still, they cannot take away the chances that Stake.com will somehow lose some clients because of the issue they are currently facing. Their reputations are still at stake in this lawsuit even though there's no scamming of clients involved, we already know that it's never been good for the face of the company to face a lawsuit especially if the plaintiff is a former partner of the said company. I do hope that after the lawsuit has been thrown out of the window (as it should be), the so-called partner who brought the whole thing into being gets counter sued for defamation. Because this definitely will have a bad effect on Stake.com and they definitely will lose a considerable amount of users. Especially because, as already mentioned by you, the plaintiff is a former partner and by making such claims, he is, from my non-lawyer perspective, very probably engaging in libel/slander. And honestly, I do not think I would let that go, if it were my company. |

Hello,
I was looking for a dice gambling bot and found one. Its called ncttechnology. But arent sure if I can trust this. Found nothing about it on google.
Does anyone of you know this script/bot. Is it real or scam?
Greetings, Getschilm
I do not understand why you would want to leave your funds to be gambled away by a "betting bot". Is the purpose of gambling not to do it yourself? Thats the whole point, have fun and maybe win money! At least, that is what the concept of gambling is to me, in my own subjective view of gambling. And anyway, gambling is luck-based. So how would any kind of algorithmic script/code make any kind of sense? Are you hoping the bot will be able to find some kind of way to exploit bets to win you profit? If so, then that sounds like a red flag and scam to me. I would never pay even 1 cent for any gambling bots. So basically, gambling bots are 100% fake. Don't waste your money. |
