Well, you already answered your own question. People promote gambling websites for referral comissions in most cases we see on social medias. It's their marketing job to promote those links for extra income. But you are right. They shouldn't promote gambling in a deceptive or misleading way. They should explain the risks involved on this activity and guide their public on how to gamble safely, only using money they can afford to lose.

Here in my country a popular youtuber, idolized by the beautiful people, the media and the government, started promoting a local gambling platform recently. On his advertisement he said that by playing at this casino it was a good method for people looking for an extra income on the end of the month. Totally misleading propaganda, luring his blind followers to a big mistake. Unfortunatelly that is how things work...

It's common in third world countries that the government's agents have a very intimate relationship with powerful businessmen from different sectors, therefore, they have additional advantages and benefits inside the nation other businessmen and common citizens don't have. Consequently, they get even more richer, while others struggle to maintain their currently status or even go bankrupt.

Such advantages are a bargain, which doesn't come without counterpart. Businessmen show their "gratitude" by supporting the respective political parties and candidates in order to maintain the system of reciprocal favours.

However, with internet and social media nowadays, which bring everyone from every corners of the world closer, I see it's not an exclusive issue faced in third world countries, but also inside the powerful nations of the world, such as USA and european countries.

I don't bet on bizarre things or on banal events. I think I could talk only about unlikely bets, that is to bet against the favorite one as the strangest bet I've ever made. It was during the world cup of 2010, a match between North Korea and Brazil. Brazil was the favorite without any doubts, but I predicted the game would end in a draw by 1x1, because a seer told that on the television one or two days ago. However, the game finished with 2x1 score for Brazil...

Bitcoin performance in 2023 has been pretty positive. We came from 16,000$ to 28,000$ in 3 months. About 80% increasement in price. Now imagine how happy and satisfied is someone who invested during the dip at the currently moment. What kind of investment returns so much profit like that? Besides bitcoin, I don't think there are many others. And that is just the first quadrimester. I hope the positive trend continues and bitcoin hit 40,000$ at least by the end of this year.

Actually, freebitco.in is a better alternative than those lending platforms, because it's working since 2013, moreover we know they are profiting from gambling activity, what is well known for being profitable (for the house) on long term. On the other hand, lending platforms are shady and don't let it very clear how they make enough yield to pay users back. As we saw last year, at least some of them run ponzi and pump-dump schemes with users' funds in an attempt to generate income.

In a comparison I think we could say that with freebitco.in you are investing by the house's side, and with lending platforms you are "investing" by the gamblers side, therefore it's much more risky and uncertain on long term.

There is less than 2000$ for bitcoin to follow ahead in order to reach the 30,000$ mark, with 12 days till the end of the month. It seems completely possible to happen in March yet, although it heavily depends on speculators and whales to push the price upside. If it's interesting for this group of investors that bitcoin hit 30,000$ this month, it's going to happen.

And actually, that is my real doubt... We saw speculators damming btc's price on previous months to not let it advance to higher price ranges and there is also the possibility they continue doing this. I hope they don't. Bitcoin deserves to remain stable above the 30,000$ line as a "security level".

OP has explained all the main points to justify why casinos have to comply with KYC measures in order to keep their businesses running smoothly.

The system is elaborated in a way you have to follow the rules created by regulators, otherwise you are out of the market, since you can't afford paying fines for a long time without going bankrupt in the middle of the process.

Reality is harsh on us, and although we imagine a perfect hypothetical world where KYC isn't required, it doesn't apply to practice.

Bitcoin has different definitions depending who is classifying it. Some call it a digital asset or currency. Most countries consider it an asset, while few consider it a currency (legal tender). The "treasure" classification is more figurative and is more related to a personal experience and point of view of a specific adopter, than a general nomenclature widely used in crypto and investment's environment.

Amazing! That is a huge investment that rewarded you greatly so far! 1BTC interest generated is a hardcore achievement, congratulations!

I've just hit the 0.15BTC mark... However, I'm not sure if I will be able to hit 1BTC someday. I think it won't be possible, because by there bitcoin must be very expensive, so I will tend to use it.

Yes, he has to seek for informations with the local government's body from his country, because rules and guidelines are different for each territory. Only those public agents will be able to provide accurate informations on how he should conduct his tax deduction process when gambling online at crypto casinos.

However, since it's a bureaucratic process which demands the hiring of an accounting professional, what also makes it expensive, it's better to avoid it maximum as possible, otherwise it might be more expensive to ask for tax deduction, after all, than just leaving it alone.

That is the kind of luck many gamblers face on short run, although the more they play, more rarely events like this happen, becoming insufficient to overcome the losses meanwhile. Anyway, just for taking such risks and resulting in a positive outcome he already deserves congratulations for this achievement.

I just hope he doesn't try beating the house, since that is an impossible mission, and get satisfied with the prize won.

Yes, I agree with this prediction. Palmeiras made an excellent campaign last year and they have all the tools to repeat the performance this year. 1 year is a too short period of time for another teams to improve in a level to become real threats to the currently champion. Flamengo's advantage is to be a powerful club, with the largest crowd among all, influent, wealthy and popular. They are always a decent competitor.

Well, about Cruzeiro, especifically, the situation is pretty bad yet. Although upgrades were made since last year, the crowd is still mad on the team, due to the poor gameplay against weak teams such as América-MG, last saturday.
I'm not confident Cruzeiro is going to make the championship more exciting and competitive. It seems there is still a long path ahead until they can become a solid club again. The question is if Ronaldo can make it work.

Personally, I wasn't expecting for that. It was really surprising to receive a notification on my phone displaying bitcoin was hiting the huge 27,000$ price range.

It's always very exciting to receive good news you aren't prepared for. But more important than that, is bitcoin holding this position as its new support level, so we can start dreaming about reaching further this year yet. I'm sure stability around 27,000$ will be helpful to increase optimism among investors, what will boost bitcoin's price even more intensively.

I was also curious to check if majority of world's population really gamble, and that is what I found:

GAMBLING STATISTICS 2023: HOW MANY PEOPLE GAMBLE?

It means most people in the world have already gambled at least once in their lives. That is a clear signal it's impossible to avoid or forbid this activity, despite several governments' attempts, because it's already part of human's behavior and personality to predict future events and try the luck for material gains or just for recognization as a smart, intelligent person who is able to see ahead than everyone else around.

Another interesting statistic is this one:

Problem gamblers correspond to a very small percentage of the total number. It goes heavily against the most common excuse used by authorities to forbid gambling activity.

The benefits of FUN aren't only about holding it, but holding it in partnership with freebitco.in website, so you can make income from staking and also from the premium program which rewards you daily with Wheel of Fortune spins and extra daily interest over your bitcoin balance. There is also the exclusive FUN casino, Dplay. It's a token for investors and gamblers.

Online gambling increases the range of activities and events you can bet on. For most people it's not possible to have an enjoyable gambling experience based on physical events, since they live in countries where gambling is forbidden or in countryside regions where casinos and other gamblers aren't disponible.

Therefore, online gambling isn't only funnier, but also the only alternative available.

Here in our country the government doesn't even have to justify anything in order to convince people to adopt CBDCs. All they have to do is to enforce the rule and people will adopt it, because they were told to do this from now on. People accept passively anything that is imposed to them: taxes, bureaucracy, corruption, electoral promises that don't become reality, power abuse by authorities... And to say the truth, common sense is much worse than it was few years ago.

It will be interesting to see how Argentina is going to play in 2026 without Messi on the team, although it's still uncertain if he is really going to retire from the national team by there. As far as I know he hasn't closed the doors for his participation on the next world cup.

In negative case, I guess Argentina will lose a lot of performance potential, probably playing at same level of every other south american national teams, excluding Brazil, which must keep its solid reputation along the history of world cups.

But we never know. Every world cups always bring an underdog who performs outstandingly, like Morocco did, so why not a south american underdog next time? It's possible... We have 3 years ahead and that is enough time for many teams to prepare themselves to overcome the results achieved on previous editions of the competition.

As an investor of FUN token I'm glad to see you are giving special attention to this project. I was expecting for this before, although recently I've felt FUN in second plan by freebitco.in's team, without further announcements and updates.

But now with this thread and frequent updates I hope FUN can spread among more crypto enthusiasts and grow stronger than ever.

FUN is the most powerful gambling token in crypto market and to remain on this position for longer, constant development of new features is needed.

We always feel regretful for not having involved with bitcoin earlier, but I guess we would regret much more later if we don't get involved with it on the present moment. Of course the potential profit someone starting to invest now is much inferior than the profit already made by an early investor, but it's still possible to be benefited by increasements in btc price. The predictions are really positive regards the coming years, so it definitely worth a try to acquire bitcoin at the currently moment.
