Any explanation for Dummies? I am not clear whether you mean that coinjoin is a breach of privacy or that it is nice because of the flexible inputs.

I didn't remember exactly how many merits I have (they are all earned) and I had a hard time looking it up because I thought I might make it into the ranking. Too bad I'm missing a few. I guess I'll get in the next update.

It is clear to me that I will never be in the first table but I hope to gradually improve my contribution.

Nice job joker_josue,

The fact that you do not want to give details in public does not give much reliability. Then I see this:

Trust summary for bets21:


Good luck trying to scam people.

The only moron here, who defends a genocidal man who threatens to use atomic bombs and start a nuclear war is you.

Clown.

I'm starting to get fed up with the nuclear threat:

Medvedev raises spectre of Russian nuclear strike on Ukraine

If it were up to me, I would be prepared to launch a massive nuclear counterattack the moment Russia drops a single atomic bomb on Ukraine.

Ex-CIA officer says Putin is 'completely cornered' and the chances of his using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine are increasing 'by the day'

Since the negative radiation effects would affect neighboring NATO member countries, I would consider the attack as triggering Article 5.

Surely this would end in a planetary catastrophe, but you can't live your whole life under the threat of a bully without reacting. I'd rather die with dignity than live on my knees.

Lol. It has not lasted long.

Lately there have been several campaigns pausing or ending. I imagine that the bear market in which we find ourselves affects casinos' finances: as they do not have as much revenue they invest less in advertising, and as they invest less in advertising, they attract fewer customers, like the dog that bites its own tail.

Thanks Hhampuz!

You might as well have borrowed $150 to go to the casino. It wouldn't be much different, in fact, which is far from saying that it's a good system for making money.


I would apply this to borrow money in general, not just if you are doing it to invest in Bitcoin.

It is possible. It is not legal if you intend to operate in most countries of the world.


Like freebitco.in you mean?

You have quite a few casinos without a license here:

Information of Crypto Casinos License and KYC requirements

That are not scams AFAIK.


What you say is quite useful for the OP but you forgot to say one thing: in the UK and many other countries, especially in Europe, it is not enough to have a Curaçao license to operate in them. You need to acquire a country specific license:

Apply for a licence to operate a gambling business.


What many cryptocurrency casinos do is to take a license from a tax haven and then put in their TOS that they do not accept people from England, Wales and Scotland, and many other countries, when in reality they turn a blind eye.

As long as you bet in a rational and controlled manner, no, it does not damage your reputation. In the case of playing poker I would say it is the opposite because it has a kind of aura. If they find out that you are a regular winning poker player they will probably be interested in it.

Yes, gambling sites were very important in the history of Bitcoin and also of this forum. Just look at the number of signature campaigns that are from gambling sites.


Also because it is very easy to disappear. At the beginning they didn't even have licenses, so setting up a bitcoin casino, operating for a while and disappearing without a trace was very easy. Today most of them have licenses, even if they are from tax havens, and although there are still scams, little by little more control is being imposed.

I am quite rational in these matters. Regarding casino gambling, I have played very little and have never gone out of control. Specifically with poker, there are times when you have downswings that make you lose a lot in a short time, and what you have to do is to continue playing as if nothing happened, as long as it does not affect your emotional state. There are times when I have had to make the session shorter than planned because of downswings. It is better to come back at another time when you are fresher.

It's just that thinking that Bitcoin is not a good store of value because the price has dropped this year is silly. The price of gold has also been falling since March. The question is whether it maintains purchasing power or even increases it in the medium to long term, and the answer, looking at its history is yes.

Well, there are also many people who play poker as if they were playing slots, without having studied at all. They just know the basic rules of the gambling and little else. They are known as recreational players or fish, from which regular and professional players profit.

In the case of poker it is very difficult for them to have a big win with little risk.  For them they would have to win a multi-table tournament and besides being very lucky they would have to spend many hours playing.

I mean that companies like Amazon could never have been created and developed in the EU, in the same way that a company like Google could not have done it. When it has been developed and seen how it works, the EU lets it operate, but regulatory and union pressure would never have allowed such companies to prosper by being created from scratch in the old continent.

These companies have been able to thrive from nothing because they were born in an environment of few regulations, which is not the case in the EU.

We can expect nothing to be honest. He is a very smart guy, but like all very smart guys he also makes mistakes. Now he has become bearish, consistent with the current situation. Let's see what he said not long ago:

Michael Saylor goes nuts: he predicts a $15 million Bitcoin price.

His predictions have the same credibility as any others we may see in this section.

 

Not really. If you talk to me about money laundering from people who kidnap or extort, I am against that and I think we all will be. But if we are talking about someone who has done work on the internet, for example designing web pages, and has not declared the profits because he lives in a country of high taxes and high political spending (which he is against), raising a good capital that he then launders, I am not against it.


That's right.Companies like Amazon can never emerge in the EU because of the regulatory tangle.


It's funny because I was thinking that, regarding the privacy debate, which is very much in vogue. It probably has to do with history and culture.

The American settlers had a lot of privacy when they lived alone with their family, bible and rifle, and no one else for miles around. What they didn't have was a social life. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

With casinos and gambling, it has happened as in other spheres of our lives: they have become digitalized. Although it is still possible to bet live, online gambling has taken market share from live gambling and is growing steadily, as people can bet 24/7 from their cell phones.


Well, although it is not the same, online casinos also have a social aspect through chat.

Normally, when faced with questions like that, the first thing I do is look it up on the internet. According to what I see, it is more likely to happen in Live Dealer casinos, but not in the rest, because of what was explained before:



So, I wouldn't worry too much. If in doubt, read their TOS or even ask them.

A friend of mine works in a casino (land-based) and he told me yesterday that there was a client who with a stroke of luck won a good amount, about $8k. He exchanged the chips for cash and went home. After about half an hour, my friend sees him walk back in the door and went on a gambling binge all the night, only to end up losing his winnings and more.

At the end of the session he signed the self-exclusion.

If it weren't for the fact that this person is going through a drama, the story would make you want to laugh.

Has this ever happened to you or do you know of cases like this?

I don't know why you waste your time explaining this on socialistalk.org.

Few are those in the forum who express a libertarian vision, it is a thing that caught my attention some time ago and I opened a related thread

Socialists in Bitcoin(talk).



Not a chance. The rich are bad, we need more state, more regulations, teach children from a young age that there are 72 genders they can choose from and change them as they feel like it, etc.
