The main question is do you have use of the benefits to holding FUN token, if you do I dont see the point especially of selling.    You may choose also to not lock in order to speculate in future and sell them.   I dont mind the lock as I have zero intention of selling near term.   I would sell into a frothy type market where the token price had risen alot but we arent anywhere near to that, I think it can happen especially if people dont expect it to occur.
   Dont sell into the first trend of gains, thats a classic mistake made by the public but of course its impossible to tell you exactly as you may have a need for the funds elsewhere or just know a better trade.   The ideal is to sell at the tail end of a series of gains rather then the beginning and easiest of all is just to use the benefits and not worry about juggling them especially, I think its hard to judge them as a trade.  My take for BTC this year is just back and forth or range bound, a breakout cant occur every year on the scale we've seen I think its distributes and thats a good thing & some of that capital will come here imo.

That's true. The whole point of locking the FUN tokens for a period of 1 year proves that we don't care what the price of FUN token is for the next 1 year.
We are getting to utilize the benefits of holding it which is itself a good deal. Even I have locked up my FUN tokens for a period of 1 year.
Even if this year doesn't bring big gains to crypto marketcap we will definitely see a huge increase in the next 2-3 years.
So why not just hold the FUN tokens and reap the benefits of holding it.

That seems like a strange thing to ignore. Why, if a website already tells you what will happen if you access the site with VPN services, would you still risk it? I wonder if that is somehow a part of a gamblers character... As far as I know there are certain VPN services which cannot be that easily detected as they keep changing IPs of their servers or something similiar.

Do the frozen funds ever have a chance of getting unfrozen? Who do those funds belong to, legally?

Many gamblers ignore the warning just because they are determined to try that gambling site and win some quick bucks.
While many websites might not be tracking their users if they are using VPNs but the others would be good at finding VPNs.
Once the funds are frozen they generally ask for KYC to get the funds out from the frozen state.
If the gambling website is genuine they release the funds once KYC is done and if not then those funds belong to the owner of the gambling website.
2463  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Global Bitcoin/crypto debit card project on: March 09, 2022, 03:55:32 PM
We wonder if anyone outside of the US or Europe would be interested in owning one?
Considering that a debit card is the very definition of centralization and we bitcoiners believe in "not your keys, not your coins" I have never been interested in such things and will never be. It goes against all principles that created bitcoin.

Recent events like how VISA, MasterCard,... shut down their doors on millions of people should also prove to people how such things are bad and should be avoided.

I completely agree with your point that this is against the principles of Bitcoin but then have you never used a crypto exchange.
Can't we treat this just like a crypto exchange where we deposit money only which we want for active trading and keep the rest in cold storage.
Similarly, we can fund the crypto card with an amount we want for active shopping and then still hold the rest in cold storage.
May be that's how we increase adoption. Just a thought.
2464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The digital perfection of Bitcoin on: March 09, 2022, 03:50:26 PM
People always say that Bitcoin is the digital money that will take over soon as the world is digitalized,but they have not understand something, It may not be easy as we  think due to some delays in confirmation of transactions,It will be a good development to the whole world, but how do we perfect this and make it handled and easy as a physical money? Bitcoin has actually come to stay an let make it perfect and make it easy for everyone to use, through the digital. Yes I agree that Bitcoin is future currency, but let it be easy to use ?

If you are thinking physical form of money is easy to use and carry then I must say that I prefer to use digital form of money more than the physical form.
I personally don't prefer to carry physical money since there's a risk to lose it or get it stolen and then there's also the hassle of carrying it and having the exact change at times.
On the other hand, while digital money has it's own limitations but is easy to carry and pay whenever we need without worrying about the change.
There's also no risk of losing the money or getting it stolen unless we make mistakes that lead to getting it hacked.
Talking about Bitcoin particularly, it has the lightning network which eliminates the concern of late confirmations.
I feel even the main network is fast enough for payments which don't require immediate confirmation such as cross border payments and stuff.
2465  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to the Bitcoin network if Russia blocks access to the internet? on: March 09, 2022, 03:39:35 PM
I don't think Russia would be doing that anytime soon because a large amount of the population uses internet on daily basis.
Many of their businesses run on internet as well. So may be they won't do such a thing that will cause themselves a harm.
Even if they decide to block internet for some period of time then it won't effect the Bitcoin network majorly.
Since Bitcoin is a decentralized network, the other nodes will be able to validate the blocks and miners from other countries will be able to mine the blocks.
So there's no harm particularly for Bitcoin.
2466  Economy / Gambling / Re: Would you support a collective boycott of all Russian gambling platforms? on: March 09, 2022, 12:51:12 PM
An article released earlier this week stating that Swiss Banks in Russia are being advice to close every accounts that is own by Russian citizen, with this move of the EU, this will definitely take a lot of toll in the Russian economy. I've read an article stating that Russia is utilizing its cryptocurrency capability, if the cryptocurrency community have taken sides with Ukraine, this will surely take down half of the Russian Economy. There is also a news where the U.S has stopped the exportation of Russian Oil in their port. Russian economy is now experiencing a serious downfall.

Even I have read that US has stopped trading Oil and other commodities from Russia. It will create a major impact on Russia's economical growth.
But I doubt that Russia is planning to use cryptocurrencies because from what I read the Russian banks are still against cryptocurrencies.
Their stance on cryptocurrency is still to ban the usage of all coins.

Hi Guys,
I used to use Stake.com Allot, but this a while ago, wonder if there's any good competitors for a UK player using a VPN. Haven't gambled in a while and want to use a new site!
Any new good competitors? I also have a swedish passport so i managed to do one of the KYC's for Stake and it was never an issue.
Thanks!!!


If you are planning on to use a VPN to use a gambling site then be prepares to get your funds frozen on the gambling site.
Make sure you read the terms and conditions of the site before you register on it and find out if the site asks for KYC.
At some point of time if they started asking KYC then you will either have to complete KYC or your funds might be as well be frozen.
Even then if you want to go ahead then gamble with only an amount that you can afford to lose.

I am afraid I am going to have to agree with the VPN warning here. Although personally, I have yet to hear of a VPN banned individual who was caught using VPN services or an online gambling casino which explicitely bans the use of VPN services, I would probably still play it safe and not use any kind of VPN.

These online casinos do sometimes seem to endorse and enforce arbitrary rules on what they deem suspicious activity. And once they freeze your account and your funds, you will find it a hard time to restore them. Especially with, as you said, your somewhat questionable swedish KYC documents. I am not familiar with Swedens laws on online gambling.

Best to leave the risky VPN stuff aside.

Well there are many online gambling sites which do give a trigger warning about VPN services but most users tend to ignore the warning.
They still choose to continue using VPN thinking they can get around the restrictions only until they do something suspicious get their funds frozen.
The issues just begin by that time. Also, there are times when gambling sites use this to their benefits as well.
If they find out an user is using VPN they can simply freeze their funds and claim that the user was using VPN despite the warning on their site.

Hey guys,

I own these 6 coins and I'm planning to sell 2 of them.

Which one of them has the lowest potential in your opinion and why?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

I would not sell any coins from your list if Terra Luna had not increased so much in price lately.
But now since it has grown significantly I think it would be a good time to take some profit off it.
Every other coin is pretty much facing the same level of decline in price and hence it would not be a good idea to sell any of those.

I understand your concern but it is how it is. There are many in this world who don't get the same opportunity as others.
But that doesn't mean one should stop trying. With the faith in yourself try to improvise in every aspect of life.
One day you will surely get an opportunity that will change your life for good.

I still remember my childhood days when my parents used to save up every little penny they could just so that they can give us enough food and pay for our education.
Getting yourself educated is really a blessing in life. By God's grace we are living a pretty decent lifestyle now that I am having a good paying job.

So just trust yourself and keep learning and use every opportunity that knocks your door.
2470  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying BTC vs Mining it on: March 07, 2022, 03:54:07 PM
How about this for an improvement: BTC mining vs. BTC possession. Moreover, what is the reason?

In other words, if I had a 40k right now, should I buy a model such as the Antminer L7, for instance? Purchase a single bitcoin, if that is your preference.

It actually depends on what your end goal is. For instance if you just want to accumulate BTC then just buy it directly.
On the other hand if you want to support the Bitcoin network then you could go ahead with mining considering all the hassle you will have to go through.
If you want to keep accumulating bitcoin then you will have to do a research on how much BTC you are gonna make per year as per the specification of your mining equipment in conjunction with the electricity being provided at your place.
At the end, it all depends on what your priorities are.
2471  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FC Barcelona may issue official NFT and enter the Metaverse on: March 06, 2022, 03:51:48 PM
Joan Laporta, chairman of La Liga football giant Barcelona, said in an interview: Recently, blockchain products and services such as NFT and Metaverse have received a lot of attention, and we should be able to provide our members and fans with Digital products that align with club values and create a fun emotional experience.
In addition, Laporta also announced that the club is looking into launching its first series of NFTs in Barcelona as soon as possible, but did not provide further details on the subject.
It is possible that Barcelona will launch a cryptocurrency issued by the club itself, rather than the already available fan token issued in partnership with Socios.

That's really a huge news for Barcelona fans. First it launched the token and now the NFT. Things are looking good for Barcelona fans.
I am not really sure what Metaverse has in store for Barcelona but as far as NFT is considered it can launch a lot of varieties in the NFT space.
I am quite sure that when it does launch the NFTs it will be a hit and they will probably earn in millions for their NFTs.
2472  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: An advice for newbies and plebs on: March 06, 2022, 03:43:09 PM
Simply stop day-trading, or any more active form of trading. Preserve your capital and wait for the market to be in the same situation like 2020 again, when investors were excited to throw their money in crypto. The market narrative has changed, people are not as excited. The market has always followed a bull - bear cycle. Save your money, and wait for the next opportunity.

2022 - It might be a bear market.
2023 - It might be the next opportunity to buy the Bitcoin DIP.
2024 - It might be the new BULL MARKET.

We never know what 2022 really holds for us. Although the current situation does point us in the direction of a bear market.
But it can still reverse and take us to a new joy ride of a bull market by the end of the year.
But yeah, saving capital, as you say, should be the highest priority of most of the traders in the current highly volatile market.
We are seeing swings of more than $5000-$7000 every week now. There are people who are gaining from the volatility but there might be many taking losses.
So it's better not to trade and save your capital instead of losing it to the volatilty.
2473  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from crypto influencers on: March 06, 2022, 03:38:12 PM
The word influencer itself means one who influences others and being in crypto doesn't require you to be influenced.
Owning a cryptocurrency requires awareness of what you are holding and how and when you have to use it.
You have to do it all by yourself. If you are following a crypto influencer then there's basically no point of holding crypto at first place.
2474  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: No social media is safe on: March 06, 2022, 03:28:55 PM
During the covid crisis, I met a man on Facebook, who was friendly and chatty our conversation was normal,so we exchanged numbers and move to Whatsapp and share massages, After some weeks he started introducing me to crypto currency, how it works, how it been used to earn,he ask me to open a binance account, showed me on how to fund my account  he also  introduced me to his platform and persuaded me  to sign up then he showed me how to move the money to a trading platform where it will be invested. I made my first payment which I was seeing on my dashboard clearly and also how I can freely  withdraw it back to my binance account.

On the third that he persuaded me to invest more money so that I will earn bigger but I instead to see and withdraw the first investment before making or investing more but he keep on persuading me so i starting have doubts and bad feelings about it , I decided to open  the investment site to see if my money is safe and can be withdraw but when I open the investment site I found out that my trading site stopped working then I reached out to him, he asked me to contact customer service which I did and they told me that my account was blocked and I need to pay certain amount of money to unlock my funds, which I did then  I try again to withdraw my funds but i couldn't,  i contacted the customer service again they also demanded for more money, At this moment i absolutely knew that I have been scammed.

Oh dear, if only you would have made some research about cryptocurrencies and related scams then you would have had the chance to avoid this scam with you.
Such scams are quite normal these days where people approach you on social media and persuade you to invest in some crypto platform.
I have myself been contacted by many people on social media platforms such as Instagram, Telegram, Twitter, Reddit etc...
But since I am a long term member of this forum I am aware of the most of the scams and have never been scammed except once (Bitconnect).
2475  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: "Bitcoin" vs "bitcoin" | Do we know the difference? on: March 06, 2022, 01:11:47 PM
I was browsing the forum and found a thread to read but was surprised to see the ads from the forum adslot which was containing this text-
"The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC."

We are using B/b when writing "Bitcoin/bitcoin" frequently but without knowing the system.

Wondering how this clarification has come. Is it a rule of English? Or rule set by someone to differentiate the difference between about we are actually talking about.

So, basically, I will say "I have 0.001 bitcoin", I have to use the lowercase "b" while if I say, "There are nodes which have the copy of Bitcoin transaction record from the beginning.", I have to use uppercase "B".

I had no idea. All these days, I was only using randomly lol.

That is true. I came to know about it last year through this forum itself. Someone had mentioned the same thing in one of their posts.
Even though the difference between Bitcoin and bitcoin is huge we still tend to ignore it since the spelling is literally the same.
To be honest, most people would not know the difference and wouldn't even care to correct themselves even if they find out what the actual difference is.
But yeah, it's always good to know find out the meaning for Bitcoin and bitcoin.

Well this is it guys because today i would like to share this tool that can help us to have a proper risk management when it comes trading..

Its a free tool actually and it's called winrate.io

This tool can estimate our earnings and losses from trading by simulating trades based on winrate, fees, leverage etc.
This is a big help especially if your trading with leverage

Infact you can run your own strategy as well to see it if it's good or not.

See the image below..
60 wins 40 losess you still have an amazing winrate as long as you have a proper risk management..
snip

It seems like I have seen this tool on some other post as well but really never used it. Thanks for sharing as it will help many others.
Risk management is one of the most important concepts of effective trading. With proper risk management we can save ourselves from huge losses.
We can even say that the first thing we need to learn while trading is risk management.
I might start using this tool to see how effective it is.
2478  Economy / Gambling / Re: Would you support a collective boycott of all Russian gambling platforms? on: March 05, 2022, 01:42:57 PM
I think that spend your money from gambling to charity is more effective help to the innocent people than to gamble on another sites. The easiest way that these gambling platform can answer - they will freeze all deposits from all users and you can`t do anything with it. Try to think without emotions what you can do and who will suffer from your actions.
+ 2 on that mate, it is much better to Place your funds directly to the donation box than put it in gambling or something similar from others.

though there are others that wanted to risk gambling their small fund before donating because if there is a chance that they won? then the amount of donation will be doubled or even more.
but of course best to donate automatic than that gambling .

If only everybody used to think with that perspective in mind then the gambling industry would not have had so many active users throwing their money into it.
The world would have had lesser poor people and the number of people dying out of hunger would have drastically decreased.
But people prefer to gamble for fun and profits rather than donating it to charity and for the welfare of people.
2479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I get hacked, 2.4 bitcoin stolen from coinomi wallet on: March 05, 2022, 01:00:59 PM
I am planning to delete the smartphone wallet from my phone now since I already have the backup of the seed.
Note that that doesn't really make your coins any safer. The seed phrase was already generated in a hot wallet and has been stored on a device with internet access for a period of time. Deleting the wallet app might also not actually delete the wallet file or other data, and it certainly won't overwrite those sectors of your phone's storage. If you want your coins in an offline wallet with the seed phrase only stored on paper, then you need to create the seed phrase and wallet using an airgapped device in the first place.


Yeah I agree with you. But don't you think Mycelium and Exodus are relatively safer than other smartphone wallets?
Also, the smartphone is going to stay with me forever. Now since I have deleted the apps I will be completely wiping the data by doing a factory reset.
I guess that will lower the risks when compared to it's previous state.

Wanted to ask you one thing. Even if we buy a hardware wallet from the ledger nano or trezor official website how can we be sure that the device is not compromised on it's way to the customer.

🚨BTCGOSU STANDS WITH UKRAINE AND ITS PEOPLE🚨

I am very sad about what is happening in this very world, in Europe and concretely, in Ukraine, where innocent people are dying. Nothing and I repeat, NOTHING, justifies such actions and BTCGOSU of course stands with Ukraine. On our website, you can now find a notification bar at the very top where we ask people to support Ukraine (there is a button with a link). Gambling is cool, it is fun but there are so much more important things in life.

Our prayers are with Ukraine... I dont know what else to say...



That's really a good thing you have done from your side to help Ukraine face this time of trouble. This war has indeed impacted many people physically as well as mentally.
People of Ukraine are really strong and we all are with them in this war. I am happy to see that even many Russian citizens are against this war and protesting against their government.
But the war is still going on and we don't know when it will stop. Our prayers are with the people and I hope everything settles down soon.
