I think banks have long since been a broken, unnecessary system. "Pay me to hold your money and don't expect an apology if we randomly decide to withhold or lose your funds".

I mean seriously. Wtf.

Bitcoin solves the banker middleman problem once and for all. No more worrying about having to trust someone else to hold onto your money.

Transparent, incorruptible, democratic and verified. That's Bitcoin. (Yes to decentralization)

Bevor theymos demnächst wieder die neue Liste veröffentlicht, welche Accounts diesmal neu in DT sind, würde ich gerne auf ein sehr wichtiges Thema aufmerksam machen, da es für DT relevant ist.
Im vergangenen Monat ist nullius erneut negativ aufgefallen, als er fillippone als "möchtegern Walletdieb" bezeichnet hat und mit schweren Diffamierungen gegen fillippone dort aufgetreten ist.
Dabei war der Auslöser sehr banal. Bereits vor Jahren hatte fillippone ein Thema erstellt, in dem es um Adresskollisionen geht. In den Diskussionen sprach fillippone auch das Thema an, dass wenn man zufällig eine Adresse generieren würde, die bereits Bitcoin enthält, man legitimer Besitzer der Balance wäre.
Jeder weiß, dass eine Adresskollision nur theoretisch möglich und daher extrem unwahrscheinlicht ist.
Demnach machen die Vorwürfe von nullius gegen fillippone keinen Sinn und sollten als das betrachtet werden, was sie sind: üble Diffamierungen ohne Substanz (wie so oft von nullius).
Damit nicht genug, hat nullius einen absolut ungerechtfertigten negativen Trust (!) gegen fillippone vergeben.
Solch ein Fehlverhalten von nullius haut dem Fass den Boden aus.

Als nullius für sein Fehlverhalten unter anderem von babo gestellt wurde, ließ nullius den Faden entgleisen und diffamierte babo ebenfalls. Damit nicht genug, nullius hinterließ babo ebenfalls noch einen ungerechtfertigten negativen Trust.
Da ich dort ebenfalls auftrat und nullius kritisierte, vergab nullius an mich natürlich auch einen negativen Trust.

Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass nullius negativ auffällt, das wird allein an seinen vielen, negativen Trusts ersichtlich.

Besonders erwähnenswert ist hier auch der ungerechtfertigte negative Trust gegen goldkingcoiner, der erst kurz zuvor von nullius vergeben wurde.

Aufgrund dieser gesammelten Vorfälle und der Tatsache, dass nullius ein erbärmlicher Schwurbler ist, möchte ich die Empfehlung aussprechen, bei der nächsten Überarbeitung der eigenen Trustliste zu erwägen, solch ein Fehlverhalten mit einem Distrust zu ahnden. Bereits seit längerer Zeit ist nullius durch sein schlechtes Urteilsvermögen und daraus resultierenden, absolut ungerechtfertigten negativen Trusts, negativ auffällig geworden.
Daher ist schon länger ~nullius fester Bestandteil meiner Trustliste.  Smiley




Es sollte vielleicht erwähnt werden, dass er versucht hat, mich mit einem Alt-Account zu betrügen, indem er mich zu einer Wette verleiten wollte, die ich nicht gewinnen konnte, und er bot mir das Ganze inkognito an. Nur gut, dass ein anderer Bitcointalker mich rechtzeitig darauf hingewiesen hat. Ich hätte ihm ein negatives Trust schenken sollen.

Komisch, dass mein Feedback bei ihm jetzt aus irgendeinem Grund in nicht vertrauenswürdigem Feedback liegt. Er muss gute Freunde in DT haben.

Edit: Ich sehe grad dass DT umgestellt wurde. Rátsel gelöst.
2323  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about the school lessons of gambling addiction? on: September 01, 2022, 07:52:55 AM
Increased sociability and lack of shyness might not really seem like bad qualities to have, or at least that's how it sounds to me when I read OPs post. Perhaps OP phrased that wrong?

Gambling addictions are extremely similar to drug addictions by how they break the brains wiring. This is extremely dangerous to the undeveloped brain of a child as it hinders the correct brain growth during the vital moments in adolescence.

I think school lessons for gambling might help children understand this fact better. So I would say that it's a good idea!
2324  Economy / Gambling / Re: Punt.com 🦵💸 | Crypto's Finest Casino | FIRST EVER 0% Commission Dice Duels! 🚀🎲🔥 on: September 01, 2022, 07:45:25 AM
Welcome to the forum and hello from the Bitcointalk cryptocurrency gambling community. I hope you are here to stay and offer great things in the future! I will be sure to follow your progress here.

I do have a question about your 0% commission claim though. I might be missing out some information.

Is the 0% commission only on some games or all games? If it's on all games that would be confusing as commission is what online gambling casinos need to make most of their money. So how do you go without it? Do you have alternative cash flows?
2325  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can this be the reason some people are afraid to invest in Bitcon? on: September 01, 2022, 06:50:21 AM
The typical human mind initially considers the fictitious drawbacks and rejects the possibility of another type of money. However, a growing number of individuals are visiting exchanges like Binance, Primexbt, Kraken, etc. People are afraid because they were taught to be afraid as child. This is, unfortunately, what the educational system does.

I am also a victim. Wish I had joined this forum earlier.


People are always afraid of taking risky decisions. Especially when they could lose their hard earned money if things go bad. This is a natural human reaction and there is nothing surprising about that fact.

This fear can easily be remedied by simply learning more about the risky thing. Knowledge sets you free from fear.

In the case of Bitcoin, it's not that easy to learn everything about it, especially if you do not have the technical background
. Most people invest in the hype while staying in the dark about why Bitcoin is so great. Hence their fears do not go away and they act on those fears and lose money.
2326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Singapore is the second country to follow in El Salvador's footsteps, do you agr on: August 31, 2022, 09:47:49 PM
Singapore has been a very popular tax Haven and regulation-lax place for cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and project leaders to register their businesses ever since countries started regulating cryptocurrency. This is why most ICOs (initial coin offerings) chose Singapore as the country for their business registrations, especially scam ICOs  which wanted nothing more than not to have regulators watching over their shoulders as they stole the hard earned money of investors and paid almost no taxes for it.

If Singapore makes Bitcoin legal tender then that's a step in the right direction towards redemption.
2327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Take This 2 Minutes Nine Step Quiz To Access Yourself In Gambling on: August 31, 2022, 05:53:04 PM
Have you assessed yourself on what kind of gamblers are you, this quiz which is a 2-minute nine-step quiz that will assess you on what kind of gamblers are you after you take the risk to be sure to answer the poll so the community will know how many of us here are Non-Problem Gambler, Moderate-Risk Gambler or High-Risk Gambler.

Quote
This self-assessment is based on the Canadian Problem Gambling Index. The higher your score, the greater the risk that your gambling is a problem.
Self Assessment Quiz

Well well well, here I thought I was a low risk gambler but it turns out I am not quite that careful with my money and my gambling habits. Roll Eyes

High risk gambler is now an attribute which that little quiz has given me.

Although I somewhat doubt the accuracy of that test, as it seems a bit too simple for any realistic assessment (it seems like more of a Facebook personality quiz, to be completely honest), it did make me reflect on my gambling strategy a bit harder. So thanks for that.
2328  Economy / Gambling / Re: I need advice from experienced users of this forum on: August 31, 2022, 12:04:43 PM
Hello. I really need advice from knowledgeable and experienced people like you, so I decided to turn to you. In short, I have an unpleasant situation with the MBit casino. You can read the details here if you are interested. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5409934.new#new

I filed a complaint on several sites, like GURU and AskGamblers, but none of them gave any results. However, I don't want to give up, as casino representatives behave dishonestly towards me. I want to try to file a complaint against the license provider. In other threads with fraud accusations, I have seen similar advice.

Could you help me with this? Tell me how to do it correctly. I will be very grateful for any advice and details. I believe that such things cannot be left just like that and we need to fight to the last. I would also like as many people as possible to find out about the dishonest behavior of the MBit casino and not repeat my mistakes.

I would have to agree with the previous poster on this matter. It might be more prudent to seek help from a lawyer or at least warn them about the lawyers incoming lawsuit action.

If they don't start sweating with a warning then the moment they get your lawyers letter, they might take things more seriously.

A lot of unprofessional online gambling casinos think they can get away with not paying up or prolonging the cash out. It's very unethical but a practice which is becoming common, unfortunately.

Good luck to you, hope you get your winnings
2329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: "The Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines" Is this a joke? on: August 30, 2022, 09:15:09 PM
Those numbers that you posted seem suspect to me, as well. It also seems like a lazily put together sheet of data that someone pulled out of their own bottom instead of doing the research. The numbers change depending on factors such as where you live, how much you earn, how much your expenses are and how much you need to put aside for emergency savings and so on.

If you're making 10k a year and live in a first world country you have bigger problems than worrying about your gambling expenses. But even then you could afford to gamble more than 8 bucks ( that is if you don't have a family to worry about)
2330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots 101: Basics, Strategies, and Discussion (with poll) on: August 30, 2022, 04:34:06 PM
Hey guys, does any of you experience a certain glitch in Play N' Go Moon princess?  I got a bonus round on Moon Princess and chose Love for the bonus round, in the last spin of the bonus round, I got a 5-of-a-kind and three-of-a-kind premium symbol, which supposedly fill the combo meter and gives me a + 4 bonus spin.  But I was surprised when it didn't and the bonus round end.

Sounds like the glitch was perhaps only from your end? Basically a client side glitch.

It's not unusual. A glitch from the server side would be much more unusual but it can be detected perhaps. It could be a good idea (in cases of large sums of money) that you ask support to look into the matter.

The only glitches I personally have experienced were cosmetic glitches from my end. And they were not any slot games.

My slots experiences have gone quite smoothly until today, really.
2331  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 1k to 10k Challenge Update, I MADE IT! on: August 30, 2022, 01:34:39 PM
Some of you guys saw my posts and know that I started a 1k to 10000 challenge, where I fully document my journey (entry, when I close and daily update), after 19 Days, ups and downs. I can finally say proudly that I made it!! Been transparent since day 1, shared all the moves, never deleted any post or faked any shit and I am extremely proud of this achievement. 10k is not a big amount for me but the achievement is nice, also met a lot of fellow degens on the way, had a lot of fun with the community, the night trades/talks we had on tg.

All to say that I LOVE YOU CRYPTO!!!

Day 19 Final Update: https://twitter.com/shorterprince/status/1563150259991130112

If what you claim is true then

Congratulations to you!

Making 10k out of 1k is a huge deal and you should be proud of yourself. I see you making over 100k in the future.

I recommend getting a tradingview account for your next trading adventures. that way you can show everyone your predictions and on tradingview they make it impossible to delete your trading ideas, that way everyone can see that you are indeed an impressive trader who knows what they're doing.

Best of luck to you!
2332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be worth zero? on: August 30, 2022, 01:05:12 PM
We all know how volatile and unpredictable the cryptocurrency market can be. One month, a coin may be at its peak of value, and the next, it may have almost no value at all. Unfortunately, this is simply the name of the game when it comes to cryptography. But what would happen if the oldest and most valuable asset on the market, Bitcoin, dropped to zero?

https://portalcripto.com.br/en/crypto-crash-2022-bitcoin-pode-valer-zero/
font: https://portalcripto.com.br

Truthfully, I very much doubt Bitcoin will ever be worth absolutely zero. Even the dollar note could never be worth less than the paper it is printed on. There must always be a bottom value. And unless we see an abrupt and sudden deadly, unfixable flaw with Blockchain, the technology behind Bitcoin, then there is nothing to worry about. And anyway, its best not to dwell on impossible scenarios. They only fuel your personal FUD.
2333  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My feelings after 11 years with crypto. on: August 30, 2022, 12:00:54 PM
Hello everyone, today i want to tell you about my crypto-depression.
So in 2010 i was working in IT company and my friend from work told me about bitcoin mining.
Next day after this information i register on this forum and start mining coins, everything going perfect but bitcoin price was really low and unstable.
I was investing everything in gpu. Couple times i lost my fund's on scam-exchange but i still had a lot of "mining power".
In 2015 i quited my job and invest my whole savings in bitcoin, in that time i had more than 15 bitcoin's and gpu worth 20k$.
And after 2 or 3 week's everything fucked up, in same time i lost my job and my wife get sicked.
In Nov 2015 i selled everything but still i had -$$$$ to pay, so you probably asking why i made this post?

Now after 6 years i have biggest depression ever, if i only burrow money from somewhere 5 years ago and didnt sell my miners...

I have feelings that i lost my biggest life chance to get really rich and i just want to forget about crypto and work in normal work but it is impossible.
It's hurt much more if you can see that your old crypto-friend's get cars and houses from crypto profit, i wonder if someone have some feeling's as me.


A lot of people on this forum are feeling the very same way as you. We all missed out big time at some point in the past, more or less. Only a few very lucky ones  did not fully miss out. But really, who would have thought that Bitcoin would reach such prices? Many did not have the luxury of even discovering Bitcoin until it was at 5 digits and by then many did not think it would go any higher.

I myself see this as a valuable lesson for the future. The lesson is to hodl
2334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fear is not Real. on: August 30, 2022, 09:50:27 AM
When BTCitcoin is under 1 dollar people think it's another WebMoney kind of thing, greed was becoming Fear people failed to hold on it.

Same thing keep repeating itself first Greed enter's and it turned up into fear and bought wrong judgements.

Fear of loosing FOMO is where we get out of positions and accept losses, FUD is what makes market down and it keep repeating itself.

New entries are more infected by these two viruses FOMO & FUD, with experience we learn how to deal with it. If there are no more new entries BTCitcoin will become more stable.

90% of crypto geniuses failed just because they failed to HODL it learn from them don't be one of them.  

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real





Fear is indeed very real and very easy to exploit in people who do not know how to keep their emotional states under control because they made investments in Bitcoin that they themselves do not truly believe in.

What I think you mean is that fear has no use and can only hinder your decision making.

Whales count on this chaos because it's how they make money.

People need to understand that, and once they do, fear becomes ignorable.

I used to have fears back in the old days of investing and all those fears did was make me lose my Bitcoin. It's just never worth making fear-based decisions. I do not recommend it.

Exploiting prisoners to make a profit is the most American thing I have ever heard. I bet they were given horrible odds as well.  Roll Eyes

I knew about the japanese loophole already. They should just legalize gambling in Japan already. At this point it's just a charade. Probably just a way for politicians to save face.

The part about gambling addicts soiling themselves because they can't get away from gambling is a bit sad but makes you wonder if online gambling addicts do the same at home...

Awesome facts, my man. Have a merit!


2336  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1 - The copycat epidemic within crypto casinos. on: August 29, 2022, 01:55:01 PM

TL;DR - if you want to go up against the king, you should probably be better than them in some way.


I completely agree that copycat online gambling casinos are lazy and they do not spark the confidence of the person who wishes to deposit their funds on such a unprofessional website. But as far as Stake.com goes, it does have the exact opposite effect. Everyone copying them means they have built quite the decent website.

Many of the new copycats are understandable. They are new businesses with low capital so they cannot afford anything fancy, just yet.

It would be bad for them if they were victim to an exploit. Using a stable build might be better until they learn more about how to run a casino.

Here is another gambling history note.  In the year 1978, May of 26 (Memorial Day weekend) the first casino open in Atlantic City.  It was reported that players waited over two hours in line just to get inside.[1]



[1] https://www.funtrivia.com/en/Entertainment/Casinos-Gambling-6258_4.html
this is a very interesting fact,
people waiting in line must be very curious about what is really in the casino, I can't imagine the euphoria that happened in the world's first casino.

Even though it was the very first casino, which may have contributed towards the enthusiasm and excitement of the whole situation, I doubt that the people did not understand the risks of gambling as gambling itself was definitely not a new concept. People just just gambled in private.

The crowd was probably just thrilled at the idea of official gambling and something new. Gambling may have not quite been legal yet, at that point.

I imagine its like when weed got legalized.

Gambling does exist in different forms before it actually becomes a business. People used to play gambling at individual levels however as the technology evolved, gambling become a proper business and thus it was promoted to the public as a means to get quick income without much effort however the reality is otherwise.
When internet was invented, online gambling was also introduced and now everyone can access gambling platforms on their laptops and phones.

I agree with most of what you are saying however there is a single point with which I would have to disagree. Calling gambling a business, or rather, a proper business is rather a long shot. It's always been half a scam due to its widely unregulated and unchecked nature. That has not really changed with today's technology. In fact, the internet may contributed to this wild side of gambling

A criminal using bitcoin as a means of laundering money does not make it a Bitcoin crime. Your title is wrong and misleading.
Criminals have always had means to clean stolen money long before bitcoin was envisioned.

You did not include[1] an article to the news.

Thank you for your useful contribution. Indeed, using Bitcoin to launder stolen money is not a Bitcoin crime and should not be attributed to Bitcoin. He could have just as well used any other different store of value as a means to an end and would have reached the same result.

We should be careful about putting Bitcoin in a bad light as this will only slow down the rate of Bitcoin adoption and give bankers smiles on their faces.
2339  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I Disliked Bitcoin on: August 26, 2022, 08:15:47 PM
Better late than never!

A lot of people are still pushing the "bad guys use bitcoin hurr durr" narrative not even taking into account that literally any tool out there can be used for both good and bad; and even forgetting that the very currency they're using everyday is being used for malicious purposes as well.

I believe that the narrative of "only bad guys use bitcoin" has got to be propaganda of Bitcoin opponents who actively have something to lose (in most cases, obviously profit) from the mass adoption of Bitcoin. These are the pushers of said propaganda. I cannot imagine anyone else wanting to hurt the reputation of Bitcoin with such obvious lies. Anyone who adopted Bitcoin even a week ago knows it's a lie. So it can't be ignorance fueling the anticoinery. It's got to be bankers and regulators.
