The energy problem is not a bitcoin problem, Faketoshi.

You might not be able to understand this just like you cannot understand the difference between shitcoins and Bitcoin. So let me help you out a little:

Yes, energy consumption is a problem for the environment. And yes, POW consumes a lot of energy. But that does not mean that Bitcoin is at fault just because it consumes a lot of electricity, it just means that we need to stop licking the shoes of big oil and switch to green energies. (Yes, green energy would more than easily provide for the worlds energy needs, if fully implemented).

But the oil/gas lobbyists do not want that. They influence politics to keep the pockets of influencial politicians filled with their lobbyist bribe money. Does this seem right to you?

So anyone blaming Bitcoin is not looking at the bigger picture here. They just want to point fingers without solving the real problem.

At some point in time, we will be forced to make the switch to 100% green energy. And at that point, the POW energy consumption problem will disappear.

In my own experience, Fortunejack tends to solve any problems adequately but you should not expect instant E-Mails. They need to look through your claim and find a solution that will be alright for both parties. I would also advise against rash decisions like making another account so soon. Better to wait for feedback from Fortunejack and if need be, ask them if its alright to make another account, because their rules say only 1 account per person.

I think its important to read all the rules before making an account on any reputable online gambling casino. Fortunejack is well within its rights to set these rules and enforce them, otherwise things would become chaotic very quickly. Both for the Fortunejack owners and the players.

The only reason web wallets exist is for personal convenience. Which, of course, is a horrible trade-off for security but people are lazy like that. I guess 10 seconds of downloading a wallet is too much work for them. Or perhaps if something happens they want to have someone to blame other than themselves? Of course nobody will be there to help them, so I guess its the illusion of customer service that they prefer?

Electrum is the best wallet so far, in my thinking.

And of course its decentralized, like every other wallet. So making a web version would not make sense anyway. If you have internet, you can download the wallet. Just hope that the site you download from has not been compromised.

In the short term I think its mostly a dump affected by the FUD. People were expecting for Bitcoin to dump along with their other investments because they do not really understand Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation. Although its not an instant hedge against inflation. If the markets are falling people expect their money to be safe in the form of traditional currency. Of course, that is a huge mistake from my perspective but again, its a superficial dump. Long term, or even in the near future, we will definitely see a pump for this very same reason. It just takes a bit longer. Thats totally fine by me. I will buy up the cheap Bitcoin and patiently wait.

I can answer that for him. Obviously here, where our Bitcoin family was created and will remain, even when Bitcoin finally becomes the global money.

In other news; down is the new up. Whats the FUD pushing the price down this time?

Panic is the worst thing you can do right now. I would recommend not letting your emotions into ruling your investment decisions. If you want to buy more, thats your decision but it has to be a decision based on the long term expectation of the BTC price. Are you hoping to see 100k? In that case a 23k entry point is quite a nice steal. Anything below that is obviously a nice price to buy at, if you view it from a relative standpoint of the 100k goal. So whats the point in panic?

If you ask any veteran here on this forum they will tell you that 100k is nowhere near the goal. And a lot will tell you they will never sell.

Personally I belong to the latter. Bitcoin will be the global money. Don't cash out for worthless fiat unless you really have to.

I am not sure we can equate money laundering as the same as scammed money. Both are illegal, sure, but that still does not have anything to do with the other. If you get caught with scammed money then obviously that money will be seized. As far as money laundering goes, it might not be allowed to be seized by the casino unless they recieve an order from the police to seize the laundered money, but you will still get into trouble with the law.

I doubt any online or offline gambling casino, whether crypto based or fiat based, cares about enforcing the law. They do it because they have to. Of course they would rather make more profit and not give any of their players up if they had a choice.

Not a single one of your "good crypto casinos" on your list is even remotely popular. I think you are being paid to advertise random casinos on your website (or perhaps they belong to you) and to be honest, your list seems not only a bit suspicious because of the fact that you needed to link an external website even though you could have just posted a list on this thread but also the fact that I have never even heard of the online gambling casinos (nor mostly anyone else here) that you are attempting to endorse. Could you elaborate on these two points just to clarify things, in case I am getting ahead of myself?

I hope you understand that this is a subforum of experienced veteran gamblers who know which sites are good and we have already made our own lists?

Thats why I said "it sounds like".  Based from his first, not-so-detailed post it sounded like he was new at this and I gave him some helpful pointers. 

If a person cannot tolerate constructive criticism because their feelings might get hurt, then they go around in life, whining about non-issues, like you. I want OP to have success in finding good candidates and therefore, I gave him my true thoughts, based off of his first post, which had very little detail and seemed like he did not really know what he was looking for, to me. Sure, he might know exactly what he is doing but he might also not. Hopefully my advice will save him from losing money and making his advertising campaign more efficient.

Of course, if I did not care, I could have just given him a simple, one-liner answer on how to find the contact information of streamers but enough people have already thoroughly answered how to do that. So I doubt that me parroting the same thing as the others would have helped him.

My absolute favorite would have to be Egyptian themed or some theme that has to do with runes, like Viking themed. I do not really understand the psychologically behind it, but mysterious symbols do kind of give me a better feeling when playing slots.

I sometimes like the fruits themed ones too but only the ones that do not seem too cartoony or badly made.

There are also medieval fantasy ones. Like dungeon and dragons themed. I can't remember the name of a particular one but it was kind of a mix between magic/medieval and runes. If I had to pick a favorite that had all the things that I like in a single slot game then its probably that one.

It sounds like you did absolutely no research at all and your entire marketing campaign is based on a blind approach of hoping to find the right people by pure chance. This is not a good approach, when it comes to a marketing strategy.

If you want to do things right you need to research what kind of streamers you need, who their viewers are, how much they charge, and what the usual costs for streamers are. Otherwise you are throwing money away at someone who might charge you too much for advertising to a crowd who are not interested in whatever you have to offer.

Have you identified who you want your audience to be? Not all the gambling streamers have the same audience. Gambling =/= Gambling. Narrow into a laser-like focus.

Contacting streamers is easy. The ones who want to make money will gladly give you a way to contact them.

Once governments themselves become decentralized, or at least something similar to it, we will never have to worry about banks or other institutions having an unfair and unjustified advantage over us in the form of arbitrary government-dictated regulation. If the people will want to have banks, they will have banks. If they do not want banks, they will not have banks. There will be no more "you need to have banks, whether you want or not". Bitcoin is the very first form of the new democracy, a true democracy. I believe this will definitely evolve into other areas other than finance in the future. Especially politics.

You should not trust any review or reviewer website. They are never independent but rather paid off and their reviews are just paid advertisements made to look like real reviews. To me its all mostly fake and bullshit. OP should mention if his website has any serious people backing it or if they have any partners who are known in the online gambling community and are willing to endorse his advertisements.

The first thing I like to look at is not the website build itself but the team behind it. If they have a license they should not be hiding the faces of the most people responsible for the project.

At the very least they should at least prove to be legitimate. That is not really asking for too much, is it?

The problem is temporary. Unless mining becomes a greener thing, it will be stomped on by regulators, however unsuccessfully. But making mining greener will make it more expensive. Which may raise the Bitcoin price so that might be a good thing. And for the planet as well.

But the overall problem is not the energy needed for mining but rather how that energy is created. Until the government decides to throw away all the dirty energy production methods and go for the more expensive (for now) green energies, this problem will persist. Just progressing more slowly. So the long term solution they should be looking for is clean energy production.

The FUD might make people who think this might have a negative impact on the price of Bitcoin panic sell for a short while though.

Candlestick patterns are not some subjective study of the ups and downs of the market but rather reflect real numbers and actual market sentiment. So why you or anyone would consider them overrated is a bit of a mystery to me. But that being said, you cannot view candlestick patterns without looking at the bigger picture of whats happening to the volume, the rsi, and of course most importantly the news related to the investment which the candlesticks are reflecting. Looking at candlesticks alone may be not ideal or even a mistake that you could lose all your money on but its definitely a good visual metric on whats currently happening. If I see a hgue dump then I know there will be some bad news behind it.

Mobile gambling is really too convenient. I agree on that part. The easy accessibility is a problem because it really paves the road to a quick addiction. Its not really the same thing as physical gambling or even gambling on your desktop computer / laptop because its a completely different experience, so there is no point in comparing the different kinds of gambling.

This is obviously a new type of gambling addiction and probably needs a lot of new kinds of regulation laws to keep kids and endangered individuals like already known gambling addicts away from it.

Since its still in its early stages as any new tech, we will see a "wild west" and during that period a lot of people are going to suffer damage from it. Maybe the best thing to do right now is find a way to minimize the fallout?

I would maybe say that special licenses should be required and should only be given to online gambling businesses that have already proven to be responsible.

Bitcoin is always up for the challenge. Especially when that challenge includes governments trying (and failing) to regulate Bitcoin. The problem is that if they go against centralized giant miners, that may have an impact, probably short term, on the price of Bitcoin. Long term, we will find ways to outsource the mining to different countries. In fact I would say this ban of proof of work would only truly hurt Bitcoin if they banned proof-of-work mining in countries which actually offer good incentives for mining in the first place. Cheap electricity, cheap storage place, lax regulation laws and so on. But nonetheless the title of this thread is misleading. I would not say the US congress set to consider legislation for banning proof of work but rather that they are weighing their options. And I do not think they would consider redundant measures viable. Miners will find other ways and places to mine.

All the US would do is deprive itself of taxes from mining operations.

What do you mean by physical force as a factor in online gambling games? Do you mean buying a special tool which measures your force and submitting your results online? That sounds like an interesting concept. But you would still have to invest in the mentioned tool if you wanted to compete, as that is not something you could do simply using your computer. And even then people would find ways to cheat and I doubt there would be good ways to control that nobody cheats.

You would not even need the tool to cheat, you would just write some code that emulates the tool and just let the code work automatically for you while you win everytime. Does not seem like a good idea to me. Interesting, just not viable very much.

I think we need games where such things as cheating are made impossible by the main control being on the server side.

My plan is to never sell and continue to be part of Bitcoin worldwide adoption as the global money. I do plan to use some of the Bitcoin to buy popcorn which I will eat while watching fiat become worthless and banks burn into ashes.

Why anyone would have a plan that includes cashing out back into fiat is a huge mystery to me. That just tells me that those people do not understand Bitcoin and will lose out big time. And they will have deserved it.

My main plan is to help Bitcoin adoption move along by helping market Bitcoin as much as I can. Hopefully you guys join in on this plan as well, instead of worrying about how much worthless fiat you can pump out of Bitcoin in the short term.
