The biggest issue with using a bitcoin wallet based on my experience is I lost money because of phishing.
When I open my Electrum wallet, there's a prompt that I need to update to the latest version, and I just click it not knowing I was redirected to a fake site. I'm not gonna divulge the amount I lose but as of the current price, it's already a decent amount.
However, despite what happened in the past, I still use the Electrum wallet and it's my favorite so far, I'm more confident now as I learn from my past mistake and I'm sure I will never lose my bitcoin again.

KYC IMO is not a downside, they better understand it better as when a crypto wallet or exchange is regulated, KYC is already automatic.
There's no way you can buy bitcoin in the US without complying with the KYC requirement, so it's just a basic requirement for me.
About Walmart, that's a good thing, people know the store very much and though they are not the one who directly sells bitcoin, there's still a good impact on the people as the business is set up in their stores. I see this as a good form of advertisement.

He is very loyal to the Ginebra team and whenever a new season with import is coming in PBA, he is the first person they are calling.
He is I think the best import that we have in the league. Also add the chemistry that the Ginebra players has been build with Brownlee and I think that they are a playoff contender team or possible a championship caliber team. I don't want to expect too much though because we've seen how they played last Filipino Cup. Many picked them as the champion (including me) but they got eliminated at the first round.
If the PBA will allow audiences to watch, I think that it is a good thing for both the league and for the people. Fans can watch PBA games again live and at the same time, more revenue for the league. However, there is still a chance that this might turn out bad (hope not) and it might cause a case spike. Well, a large percentage of people around Metro Manila is already vaccinated so I think they will allow it or if the city will be at Alert Level 2 then they will allow it.
He wanted to enjoy playing with Ginebra instead of taking a much bigger offers, with such talent he can easily sign a contract with Japan B-League. He's more than any other Pinoy players who are earning decently now playing with that league, his caliber is truly amazing, we all seen him excite every Pinoy fans and he continue to gain that charisma, just waiting for any news about this conference set up, I see more good new about lowering cases of covid, we might see the game inside metro and no longer a bubble. Right he certainly just love to play in PH teams, looks like he has a heart of a Filipino. Ths is one basis on why I'd say he loves to play with PH teams. Brownlee gets China, Korea, Japan offers, but says Alab return 'ideal'I'm sure the offers are higher but still, he choosed to stay, this guy deserved to be a naturalized player. |

Personally, I've been in this industry for over 5 years now and I don't recall myself using any coin as a medium for any transaction and aside from that, it's very hard to see any stores or shops that accepts bitcoin or any crypto as a mode of payment here in my country.
So, I think it's safe to say that I'm a fiat guy because I never experienced buying some sort of stuff or food using my coins. But it's good for me that I can maintain my asset because I always see it as a sort of investment rather than using it to pay stuffs and as long as I can, I won't touch it to buy any other things except for the returned profits I had from trades.
I believe you're not the only one having trouble finding merchants that accept crypto payments. Because many people also have trouble finding merchants that accept payments. Moreover, in some countries forbid crypto to be used as payment, this is what most people end up using crypto as a digital asset. Because my country is one of those that prohibits using crypto as payment, so if I want to buy something from the profits obtained from trading crypto, I will first convert it to fiat. Even though I can't use crypto to buy things, I'm already grateful to be able to make money from crypto. Number of merchants will grow as the popularity of bitcoin will grow. The government will play a vital role in that, as without a regulation that supports crypto, that wouldn't be possible. Right now in my country, there are only a few ways to spend crypto, not yet in our basic needs like food, but I still enjoy using it as I can buy online goods that are not in our country and most especially I can gamble using crypto without any problem. |

This exchange might be a scam, all the good exchanges are found in https://coinmarketcap.com/ and you can read their review if you want to make research. I think you fall to the scam exchange site mate, sorry to say that but you should go with exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. Trusting 10,000 USDT in a nonpopular site was a wrong decision mate. |

If Ingram is playing that's too much for me. He can fill up the scoreboard, they might not beat the Suns but even if they are down 18-20 points he can rip off quick points to cover in the end. And good luck with the Lakers I can't just bet on them yet. To unsteady game to game at this point still.
And... you are right. They are unstable or unsteady. Volatile like Bitcoin.  Should've gone for +8.5 instead for the Rockets but it hit my brain too late to change my bets. Well, it's a good try since I had not been betting on them for a long time. Perhaps, I will give them more time to find out their chemistry. Yes, they won the game but those 3 quarters are really bad and Houston had the lead until the fourth quarter came. Jalen Green even gave them the goosebumps before they could savor the W. That 3 point shot of Jalen Green gives the Rockets a chance to win. Lakers are lucky the Rockets again fall short and they snatch a win. Look, the Rockets are actually a weak team and the Lakers could not dominate them, they played twice in less than a week but they could not totally dominate the rockets, so I'm afraid they'll lose again once they'll start playing playoff teams. Lakers' next game is against the OKC, not a playoff team again but they lose against this team the last time they met, let's see. If Jalen Green could have been inserted early in the fourth, this could have been a different outcome. James went on a shooting spree in the last 2-4 minutes in the fourth, putting them ahead for good. But the Houston Rockets keeps coming back. So if Green could have somewhat contributed 3 points early when the Lakers are starting to have their run, it might be close or at least they should have taken the lead and not trying to do catch up which they fall short. So I would say that this is a lucky win by the Lakers. I am not sure the reason why they did not get inserted early, but AFAIR, Green was awful in the previous game against the Lakers which he only made 7 points but, so that's probably the reason. However, looking at his minutes played, he played 37:50 minutes, so the coach is still confident with him. Honestly, I don't expect the Rockets to give a tough game to the Lakers but they did well even if they lose. |

I'm not surprised by the result though, but it was suprising to see that Caraballo has a weak chin he was really exposed in this fight.
Yeah, this fight exposed his glass liked chin and his next opponent will certainly make a game plan to target his weak chin if they will not work on strengthening it, and I don't know if it's possible as Amik Khan had that same problem and that made him struggle once he hits in his weak spot. Not possible in my opinion, Amir's chin didn't improved when he worked with coach Freddy that time, they can only strengthen his neck and back muscles, after that it's all up to Khan. I'm not sure about a rematch, but why not? If it will make Sultan more money then why not? MP should strike while the iron is hot. The rematch should happen as the fight is very close. Give Caraballo a chance and break his chin again, I think Sultan will not make a new strategy, he will continue to use his style which is to go for the chain, put some pressure on the opponent, and if he can take him down again, he will win with no doublt. Let's hope to hear some update regarding the rematch, or a possible big fight where Sultan will be a challenger to the champion. |

Honestly I don't trust the site also but I read online that they are licensed. Just like this review site is telling that 1xbit has a license. https://www.bookmakers.bet/review/1xbit/1xbit.com is a crypto-only sportsbook established in 2016. The bookmaker comes with an Eastern European background and a Curacao license, while the biggest advantage for the players is betting in anonymity and under the radar. I just don't know if the information is accurate, but you can enlighten me about your statement that "they operates illegally in most jurisdictions." Are you really basing your argument on information from some obscure online source? Don't trust, verify!  https://verification.curacao-egaming.com/validateview.aspx?domain=1xbit.comAnd that's just about the license. Another issue of legality is the fact that no jurisdiction allows online casinos to operate without public disclosure of company information. I don't know how to verify the site but thanks for educating me on that matter. For me, the most important as a gambler is the reputation of the site, whether it's licensed or not, I will still gamble and trust the site but with limitations. It's only now I know that 1xbit or 1xbet does not have a license but honestly, I know some people who are still using the site. |

In our forum, 1xbit is like yobit if it's an exchange, lots of negative feedback but they are still operating legally.
I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion, but it is wrong. 1xbit is a scam casino that operates illegally in most jurisdictions.

I understand what OP is trying to express, they cannot make a decision to remove a gambling site from the list based on reputation only as they would probably delist most of the gambling sites since most of the gambling sites have bad feedback.
The most accurate basis is their legitimacy, they are operating with a license so there's no harm for a review site to promote them, and OP explained their basis of listing the site, so it's up to us now if we trust their review or not but as I said, we cannot force their to remove it.
In our forum, 1xbit is like yobit if it's an exchange, lots of negative feedback but they are still operating legally.
as @COOLCRYPTOVATOR said, having a license doesn't mean they are trusted, so let's make our judgment based on what we think is right as no one can convince everyone not to play in a site even if the feedback is bad.
my 2 cents.

@Stadus pick hit this time around again with the Chicago Bulls against Utah Jazz,
My instinct was right again, I will keep following it. 
Here's my early pick again. Game : Bucks vs Jazz. Both teams are into a back to back game, they also lose their previous games but I'll go with the team that struggles less. I like the Jazz here because so far the Bucks are very inconsistent, losing against the Spurs lose my confidence on this team, and as long as Lopez is out, I think the Jazz bigs will be able to use that as an advantage. Therefore my pick is Jazz -1.5 good job Stadus followed and modified it to -5.5 which worked well also What odds did you get for Jazz -5.5? I think my bookie does not allow that kind of odds modification, would also mind sharing what gambling site you are using? |

It's really interesting to see an upset and bet on underdog  This is why previously I pointed out we shouldn't only look by his record, but we should look on his performance and his opponent. However Caraballo will take this as lesson since this is the first time he fight with top boxer. Congrats for users who bet on Sultan, at least this winning cover my lost when I bet Herring. Thanks mate, lol. I also won my bet on Sultan and it's a little scary as while Caraballo were able to survive the knock down, I have in my mind that Sultan might be hit by a powerful punch of Caraballo and he won't be able to stand, but Sultan was strong enough and he prove to the fans that he has the heart to fight in a championship fight. I wonder what's running on Carfaballo's mind he is raising his hand with an expectation of a win
Because he thought his undefeated record wouldn't break lol He knows but it's probably just the boxers' mind conditioning to think they on even though they struggle. I'm not too familiar with sultan, most people were thinking sultan won't be able to win the fight because he's not a popular fighter, but it turns out to be entertaining. Sultan is a smart fighter . At least his winning will give him more fans. Maybe not popular at all as he is not undefeated but he is more experienced and the basis is not only popularity if you choose a winner in a fight. Make sure you study their previous fights and Sultan being a more experienced fighter, I believe he is undervalued and those who bet on him see that potential, so they come up as a winner also. |

The Wizards won the Celtics by 3 points. This match was impressive, especially during the last minutes. Beal and Dinwiddie scored important shots, then Caldwell-Pope made a decisive block on Brown in the final seconds of the second overtime. By the way, the Celtics were let down by three-point shooting throughout the match because they scored only 2 out of 26. I think that was the main reason for their defeat in this match.
They beat them twice this season and now the Washington Wizards are leading the Eastern Conference along with Knick they are now 5-1. The funny thing about the match today is when "Montrezl Harrell yelled "you're trash!!" to his former teammate Dennis Schroder" Source: NBA BUZZHow quickly do they forget each other? A typical Wizards that showing good start then chocke from mid game to playoffs, This kind of player is a cancer to NBA and they are the reason why some young talent are being discouraged to perform well. They are the bully players that don't have a consistent good performance that's why they are just doing this kind dirty gesture to avoid attention from them. We saw many players like this before and they are currently on bench or early retired. On the contrary last year they started slow. But after the all star break, they went on a winning streak, not sure if it's 7-8, but I did make a good profits betting on them because they are always the underdog. And then they made the playoffs with Beal + WB. So I'm not sure why you call them bully though, they've been trying to get into the playoffs contention. About Harrell saying to Dennis, just part of the game to trash talk specially your former team mates. The ex-Lakers are doing pretty well with their new team. Kuzma and Harelll are great and I think we will see their true potential that they were not able to show in their previous team, also let us not forget Dinwiddie who is good in any team he will play, this team has the potential to compete in the playoffs. |

That's the reality, it's always "the house always wins", you cannot eliminate that as they are into business to make profit, but why would you try to beat the house if you can gamble against an online poker where you believe you can win? that's insane. The house always win - this is true generally, but anyone can win. If no one wins the house - noone will gamble, but as we see - gamblers still gambles. But you have be accurate if you want to win, a man can miss your mistake but program - will not miss. They say the house always wins but actually not true, the reality is they win most of the time that's why they are so profitable. If the perception of the gamblers is that "the house always wins", you are right, no one will gamble because it's called cheating and though gambling is entertaining, no one would be entertained if gamblers always lose their money. |

I mean I do win against players, I can do it for a week, a month and even a year but I always lose to the house.
If you have the skills you can do it, and since you have proven it already then you must be good in poker and stay with what you are comfortable of doing and always go with a game where you win most of the time. The rake and house wins, it’s like impossible to beat the house...
That's the reality, it's always "the house always wins", you cannot eliminate that as they are into business to make profit, but why would you try to beat the house if you can gamble against an online poker players where you believe you can win? that's insane. |

Troy Rosario's injury would affect the TNT's defense IMO. The injury was serious if you look how the hand was dislocated, and I don't see a chance that he could play in game 4 even if he is not declared out yet. https://mb.com.ph/2021/10/24/troy-rosario-dislocates-finger-after-bad-fall-in-game-3-loss/It’s still too early to tell if the injury will affect Rosario’s status for Game 4, tentatively set for Wednesday.
Rosario has been one of TNT’s most important players during its run to the championship series. Well, good thing TNT has more time to figure out what to do in case Troy will be officially ruled out, but hopefully he will recover soon as TNT has the best chance to win a championship now. It's now or never. |
