Guys..... $400 million is peanuts for Stake.com.... they probably have a gross income of over $1Billion Dollars on a monthly basis. (Gross income... not Net income)  They also have enough money to pay for the best lawyers to defend them in court, so I will not be too worried about that. I think Stake might approach the ex-partner and offer him a lot less (out of court settlement) and then let him sign a non-disclosure... and that will be the end of that. They can even temporarily stop paying some of these over paid streamers or get out of the Watford / Everton / Drake / Adesanya sponsorships... to settle with him. (I think they are over marketing Stake in any way)  |

Did anyone tried to access Freebitco.in on Opera browser? I'm getting this message today: https://i.imgur.com/56Oi19D.pngBefore asking additional questions, yeah, I'm sure that's correct link, I don't have any addons turned on and I don't use VPN. Everything works fine on Mozilla and Chrome. Could be a false flag since other browsers are doing just fine. Might need further investigation, especially on Opera browser. Mine shows the same as well. I see this other detail  This is a very difficult one.... because Freebitco.in's competition or malicious people might erroneously report Freebitco.in as a Phishing site. Their browser might be hijacked by malicious software and it will then re-direct them to phishing sites, when Freebitco.in is accessed. Do you get a "report" option when you sign up for the https://apwg.org site, because I do not see this as a non-registered user? (Sites like this unlock that feature for members, because it can be misused or spammed) I also get a warning message from my anti-virus software when I access Freebitco.in, but I simply ignore it. |

For sure after the dump happened many will give a bullish prediction since somehow pump will go after the dump. But let see how the prediction contest goes since its early to speculate and provably many people are excited for monday to come.
Wrong. A pump doesn't always follow a dump and vica versa since a dump could follow a dump or a pump could follow a pump. This is why it's so damn difficult to predict BTC's price at any particular point of time. I have been playing Bitcasino.io literally from the beginning and a few days ago, when I tried to log in, I received a message: "Sorry about this, but Bitcasino.io isn't available in your jurisdiction Would you like to contact us? Send us an email at hello@bitcasino.io " And now it is no longer available in my country or just need contact support from Bitcasino.io? This was my faorite Casino. Looks like your country got added to the restricted list. You could always use a VPN to access it, but you need to speak to their customer care before proceeding with this particular option. If their support doesn't recommend VPN usage, you would need to shift to alternate crypto gambling sites. As far as I know there are 2 other options if you want to play here 1. download the Bitcasino App here 2. Bitcasino provides mirror link unfortunately I forgot the link address Maybe some users can post here or support can help you, and don't forget as suggested by @Haunebu before doing these 2 steps you should ask to support to avoid trouble the next day. The mirror link will not help you, if Bitcasino.io added your country to the "restricted" list. The mirror sites are provided, if your local Service provider blocked the .io domain or to distribute the load. Some people use VPN's to mask their location to bypass the restrictions, but this backfires when KYC requirements are matched with your account. (This is usually checked and verified when you win something big and when you want to withdraw large amounts) |

+1 Anyone who is wondering about how the weekly/monthly claim, is all always from several factors - The game you're playing - Rank - Your situation (Lose/winning) - Wagering amount - In some case, If there has some promotion who add more bonus % to your claim - Some rules change I also get more money this weeks, I tough gonna to get around 10-20$ but more than 30$ claim. I dont know if wagering really counts because I was able to wager around $7k a week and my amount of weekly was the same as I did a $4k total wager. Well, it is as #ryzaadit said.... there is not just one factor to take into consideration.... wagering is just one of the things they are using to calculate it. You might have won more with your $7k weekly wagering and that will decrease your weekly or you wagered mostly on original games and not on the preferred Slots and Sports bets that they prefer. So for the best results for your weekly.... bet more on Slots and Sports bets and hope you not winning big... then your weekly will be more.... but your losses from those bets will vaporize the benefit of getting a bigger weekly. They win... no matter what you do..  |

A 4-day work week will not work for many people, because most people are neck deep into debt. A 4-day work week will reduce their income and that will sink many people financially. A lot of businesses are also struggling financially now, because they lost a lot of money during the lockdowns in the Covid period. They need their workers to ramp up production now... not to reduce their working hours. I say, make the working hours per day.. a little bit shorter and give people regular breaks during the day. (8h00 to 16h00 with 3 breaks of 20 minutes each) |

Well, I will rather invest in a few Gas heaters.. than buying a Bitcoin mining rig with several ASICs to generate heat to heat up my house. Even if you subtract the profits from your expenses to buy and run the mining rig, it will still make it the most expensive method to heat your house! It is a total different story, if you going to mine in any way... then the re-use of the heat is a added bonus in cold countries. Imagine a few large corporations in cold countries that will do this to reduce their "heat" bill and to supplement their income for their business. |

I have to say, I am not a professional Sport bettor, but I certainly learnt a lot about Sport betting from this article. It is a lot of information to take in.. and it might be challenging for people with no math background, but it can still help you.. even if you failed it. There are a lot of science behind the calculations being done to be successful and even if you master that, you will still not be successful, because the casino will limit your account or they will simply close it. |

I did understand it well and I said that I also got bigger bonus but with different case. Let me tell you my last 3 weeks activities in Stake. On August 16th, I made a deposit $60 (lost it all) and in the weekend (20th) I received $10 weekly bonus only. After that I did not make a deposit and I used the post monthly bonus only ($15), in the weekend (27th) I received $5 weekly bonus. On August 30th, I made a small deposit $15 (lost it all) and last Saturday I received $22 weekly bonus.
Is it normal to get $22 weekly bonus while I lost $15 only during the week? This is why I said that I also get bigger weekly bonus yesterday compared to the last previous 2 weeks.
Looks like I got more this week or I can say 2x more than normal weekly I didn't pay attention to it I just realized it today So is there any explanation regarding this double bonus? stake doesn't mention anything on telegram but in this week they dropped some bonuses $5 , $10 and $10  Guys ...are you really going to complain about the little bit extra that you received for your Weekly Bonus now? Most of us has been getting less, since they changed the way that the bonus is calculated.. so a little boost like this.. is welcomed.  My Weekly was bumped with a very small amount, but my losses for the week was much worst than any previous weeks, so I guess the new calculations worked in my favor this time.  |

So, after reading most of your comments.. I realize that most Banks are just wrapping shit in new colorful paper and selling it as new innovation. I think they are closing Brick n mortar casinos, because it is too expensive for their investors. The customers are not going to see the benefits of their actions, because the higher profits are just going to benefit the shareholders. I opened a Bank account with the arrangement that if I kept a certain amount of money in the Banks account... I would not pay any tx fees... but they increased that amount every year... and suddenly stopped offering that option. |

I think the transaction fees thing has been blown out of proportion to benefit Bitcoin's competition. We saw it when the whole Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash war was in full swing, back in the days. Even the Ethereum developers and supporters jumped onto the "tx fee" bandwagon, when the Bitcoin fee issue was at it's highest. Now, with the introduction of SegWit and the Lightning Network ..it has become a non-issue... and people do not even talk about it anymore. ....people realize how cheap it is, when they compare it to their Banking cost. |

Money do not follow you...... it takes every opportunity to part ways with you. You are supposed to be the leader and the one making sure that money stays with you. Rich people are not spending 85% of their income on takeaways and cheap thrills.... they make sure that they are in control of their money... so that their money work for them. Money can motivate people to work harder, but people can quickly get used to extra income and their expenses grow with that.... so it is only a temporary motivator. |

I think this one-eyed interpretation from some of the so-called financial experts are becoming more and more predictable. The Bitcoin price are not just determined by the large first world economies. We can have several small countries accepting Bitcoin as a currency and the price might explode. Bitcoin has gone down to $3000+ and recovered to a all-time-high of $60 000+ ....so we are not shivering in our pants with predictions like this. Let's look at the global impact of all factors and not just the influences of some of the giants from the first world countries. |

Are we going to wait for the Banking sector to disrupt Bitcoin.... or are we going to spearhead innovation to stay in front? You decide, if you want to stagnate.... or if you want to run in the front. While you somewhat have a point, I'm afraid your call may remain unanswered. Or not in the way you'd like. * Banks' move toward cheaper, faster and online based services is ongoing for years * Banks are institutions with money and power they can change a lot pretty fast * Bitcoin is evolving - SegWit is a leap forward, Taproot too. LN is expanding, maybe not too fast, but it does. Bitcoin development is un- (or more precisely under-) funded. The bigger problem I see is that you've compared apples (private businesses working with money) with oranges (the new money). And here: * Bitcoin related businesses do evolve, but some care only about profit, or they are being slowed down by the financial sector they have to interact with, so it's not much visible * There is so much money to come if one starts just another business like the existing one, many won't even bother for innovation * Banks themselves start working with Bitcoin and I would not be surprised they would come with the innovation you may be expecting (as I said, they work with a completely different level of funds). Yes, Banks have loads of money to fund innovative projects... but we have motivated and innovative people in our community that are driven by the goal to disrupt them. You only need people with brain storming capabilities and creative minds to come up with great ideas... and a goal driven developer team to code it. The prestige and fame that comes with having the privilege to work on a project like this, will open doors for these people to work everywhere they like. (Imagine if you worked on a network/database that held Billions of Dollars in wealth.... and you added that to your CV) SegWit and Taproot and the Lightning Network are good examples of innovation, but we need less complicated solutions to push Bitcoin adoption. |

The Banking industry now realized that the traditional Brick n Mortar Banking model are outdated and expensive, so they are closing a lot of their Brick n mortar branches and moving towards an online Banking alternative. They are not waiting for "digital" technologies to disrupt their business.... they are actively changing their whole operation. Generation Z is a lot more digitally savvy than Millennials, so their target market are changing ...and they are changing to adapt to the changing customer needs. They also realized that Brick n mortar operations are very expensive to operate and that those expenses has to be funded by high fees. The competition in the form of alternative digital payment offerings and Bitcoin's "Be your own Bank" principle....added to the threat of not having these high fees. Are we going to wait for the Banking sector to disrupt Bitcoin.... or are we going to spearhead innovation to stay in front? You decide, if you want to stagnate.... or if you want to run in the front. |

The casinos that started back in the days, like SatoshiDice and Freebitco.in did not ask for KYC verification...and this allowed for young and old and also people from restricted countries to enjoy online gambling. So it opened up a broad market for the adoption of this technology, where Fiat based casinos were heavily regulated and restricted to certain regions. So, in a way.... Bitcoin disrupted the Online casino industry too, because it opened the door for EVERYONE to enjoy gambling, even if it was not allowed in your country. Unfortunately, this also introduced gambling to kids, which is one of the disadvantages of a pseudo anonymous technology like this. Every known technology has it's advantages and disadvantages.... even Fiat (cash) is not immune to this. |

Just from a security perspective, decentralized networks are more secure than the traditional centralized systems. Satoshi Nakamoto knew that if this disruptive technology were developed as a centralized system, it would quickly be targeted and taken down. Satoshi Nakamoto also knew that a centralized authority would also not work, because centralized authorities can be corrupted and intimidated and also targeted by governments. The genius behind this technology is the decentralization ..... and the distribution of the full nodes. |

I will be all for something like this, because I worked on contract in a lot of African countries before... and their cellphones are ancient.. compared to cellphones being used in first world countries. They use a payment system called MPESA on their mobile phones, so it will be an easy transition to Bitcoin for many of them, if they can use Bitcoin via SMS's. We should support innovation like this, because it enables the unbanked to enter the financial world with a click of a few buttons on their phones. |

I think too many issues are dumped on the educational system, because parents are failing their kids. The education system cannot teach children all the life skills they need to survive in this world.... some of this has to come from the parents. Yes, some parents are gambling addicts ...so taking advice and guidance from them will be useless, because they themselves need help and guidance. So it is in cases like this, where the parents fail... that the educational system has to fill that gap. |

You are trying to revive a dead horse with this one Roger.... Can you go into more detail on why they rejected your KYC verification? I think a lot of these sites use this as a backdoor to get out of tricky situations when they have to pay out money to their customers. They might have seen something wrong with your initial verification, but they left it unresolved... until you claimed. Then suddenly things like this become a huge issue for them ..... and they have an excuse not to pay.  |

This thread looks like it was copy & pasted out of a Robert Kiyosaki book.... because he also has the same outlook on this. The thing is, when you have money... you can take more risks... but when you are living from hand to mouth... taking risk will take food from your family. Also... saying Rich people will make money work for them is 100% correct, but you need that money for it to work for you. I have 3 jobs at the moment.. and I can barely pay all the bills and still have some money left for investments. |
