AI is the next hype in crypto market to grab money from naive investors. It doesn't look there is any promising AI project at this moment raising funds in this industry. The solid projects I see sell subscriptions packages, but that is done through credit cards purchases, not crypto, while others must already have wealthy sponsors behind, since it's a matter of great interest from every major global companies and entrepreneurs from the technological sector.

One of the most common and easy ways to profit in crypto industry is to promote affiliate links to online platforms such as casinos, exchanges and micro earnings websites. Probably most of us have already done it in the past, or still do this during the present moment. However, what if you had the reach of 1 million subscribers? Millions of views? And if you endorsed a platform to all those people which turned into scam?
That is what happened with some crypto influencers, such as "Bitboy", who promoted Celsius:  In what may have been his most consequential failed tout, Armstrong was one of the most vocal supporters of crypto lender Celsius Network. He first talked about the lending platform in a 2018 project review video. “I do have faith in Celsius and I do believe it will be a successful project,” he said. In the March 2022 portfolio reveal video, he told his YouTube audience that the BitSquad held 25,000 of Celsius’ CEL tokens (worth over $83,000 at that time and around $23,000 as of press time).
Celsius froze billions of dollars from depositors in June, and Armstrong said he was one of the victims of the lending platform’s collapse. He admitted during his show that his team “worked with Celsius for years … some partnership stuff.” Read 'em and Weep: Five Crypto Influencers Who Dealt Their Followers a Bad Hand
Or "Lark Davis":  Then ZachXBT made a second allegation, accusing Davis of withdrawing $2.5 million from crypto lender Celsius mere days before the now-bankrupt company froze withdrawals, swaps and transfers on June 12.
Davis posted videos with a Celsius referral link as recently as June 10. He had been promoting Celsius with his own promo code, LARK, to his YouTube audience throughout the first half of the year, CoinDesk found. A Twitter user pointed out that Davis promoted Celsius for weeks after he had begun making his withdrawals. Read 'em and Weep: Five Crypto Influencers Who Dealt Their Followers a Bad Hand
 And so many other celebrities like Larry David, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen ( FTX's ambassadors), Stephen Curry, Major League Baseball, Miami-Dade County and athletes who promoted FTX until its very end, although they weren't sharing referral links, but being directly paid by the company. Every celebrity involved in promoting FTX crypto
What do you think about these people? Do they have any responsabilities when promoting companies which turned into scam? Should they be held accountable for that? Is it right to profit over your audience's losses? And is there more responsability involved when it's an influent person promoting affiliate links, instead of random crypto enthusiasts sharing their links in social medias? |

So I urge every one that now is the best to buy Bitcoin as it trend to increase in no distance time.
The best moment to purchase bitcoin was last year, when prices were even cheaper. Now it's good too, but not the best moment, though. Anyway, it's still not too late. Everyone can still buy bitcoin and prepare themselves for the pump season that can happen this year or in the upcoming years. The market is looking better each new day and it would be great if it continued like this, but investors must be careful, because we are talking about a tendency that has started few days ago. It can be a bull trap, so beware, and don't expect immediat returns from your new investments. |

Gamblers are looking for transparency from casinos where they play, and a casino having this kind of reaction when accused of something is going to look suspicious, as it indicates they have something to hide, especially if it's a casino which promotes its brand here at Bitcointalk forum, therefore it should be natural for them to give answers to the community where they promote their services. If they make their points and justifications clear, there won't be any reasons for retaliations from forum members. The community will stay by their side.

If it's really going to be implemented, I believe only popular social influencers who have hundreds of thousands or millions of views and interactions are going to be benefited by the earning feature.
It shouldn't matter the quality of the content, since Youtube isn't concerned about it as well. These companies want high traffic, views and volume, nothing else.
For most users it won't make difference anyway, as they won't be able to earn. I just thought simpleton to call it a "coin". They must be in a very early development stage to not have given it a better name.

1) How are the authorities able to track our bitcoins?
Mostly through public data which is provided by blockchain, but we also have to keep in mind we don't know every tools authorities have on their hands. They have technology under their disposal that isn't available for another sectors of society yet, only for the intelligence services of the most powerful countries. 2) How do we continue to remain anonymous while trading bitcoins?
Well, it seems there are coins mixers services which allow you to shuffle the final destination of your coins, being harder for authorities to track it. By doing this and using another tools like VPN and avoiding KYC you must be able to remain anonymous, although nothing is for sure on this matter when using internet. 3) Are there cryptocurrency exchanges that does not require our ID to trade in large quantity?
Go for P2P transactions if you want to transact like this. |

I become interested when I check your website especially the tournament section. Does the requirements to join specific tournament is based on the VIP level on the casino? Also is this tournaments is exclusively for Vavada user or this is from game provider tournament.
I’m very interested to join but I’m just concern on the number of participants joining on this tournament since leaderboard is not visible on each category when I browse it.
Maybe it was the graphics or the site's UI that got your attention to check them out because they look crisp no doubt but the games are mostly slots. I only wish that they add other types of games because not all gamblers are a fan of slots. I check their tournament section and there are games there which you can enter even if you are not a VIP. The one where it says beginner and up can enter. It was first on the list actually. This tournament also has the highest prize at the moment because it's a special new year tournament. The number of participants for this one is max out at 100 but there is no way to see the number of participants on other tournaments/games. Maybe they have introduced another categories of games since your post, because I see they have table games available, such as mines, blackjack, keno, roulette, plinko. Actually there is a decent variety of games to be played there, what is pretty good for Vavada, since they aren't restricted to slots' fans only. A virtual casino nowadays has to offer the biggest diversity of games as possible, due to the competition being really fierce on this industry with so many casinos competing for the same customers. |

What got me worried isn't just the winning but why are casinos getting away without paying players their exactly winnings with some shitty excuses ?
Contrary to popular belief, casinos don't have an endless supply of cash nor do they have vaults filled with millions of dollars like many believe. Casinos have been designed so that you should lose instead of them. It should be you who suffers financial loss, not them. To be safe, the majority of them contain a warning that reads, "Malfunctions Void Winning." And when you sue them, the judge will rule in their favor because it is supported by the law. The gambler suffers two losses. In a world which belong to hustlers, people have to read every micro and hidden details before depositing their money or placing a bet, because there might be a term and condition somewhere on the machine stating even if you win, you may not receive your prize for any reason presented by the casino. And doesn't matter how dirty the term and condition is, the judge will rule the foolish gambler didn't pay attention to the micro details, so the house is allowed to deny the payment. How convenient for the casino it is! It truly looks like gamblers are being pranked when facing these situations. |

You posted in 2021, it's 2023 now, and the price of the MATIC coin hasn't experienced a huge price increase, so I think the reason is because the competition in crypto is getting tougher.
That is true, there are so many altcoins offering the same features to adopters that it becomes a big competition where no one is able to outstand among others at all, so ETH continues ruling the altcoins market. MATIC seems a solid altcoin, and might be a promise for the next bull run, although being realistic I wouldn't expect more than the price range it has already hit on the previous ATH, so there is a 300% profit potential ahead, while with bitcoin there is a 400% profit potential ahead to its previous ATH level. Considering this, I think Bitcoin is still a more reliable alternative, because the risks are lesser, while proportionating superior profit chance. |

Cryptos related to exchanges aren't having a good time these days, because the confidence of investors in such platforms is pretty low, probably like never seen before in crypto history. We can't really say if BNB doesn't have a future anymore, because Binance is still the most powerful exchange in the world and it can be just a temporary lack of trust from investors, being possible to be reverted futurely.
But just as a guarantee, I would totally swap those BNB into Bitcoin right now and keep it stored safely. That is the best alternative, I suppose, since stablecoins are also considered a risky deal, as they are managed by centralized companies which aren't trusted by investors as well, and have similar modus operandi of crypto exchanges.

a man who had the foresight to create bitcoin, I'm sure he must have calculated what would happen to him if his plan succeeded. the truth is that he would be under tremendous pressure from all sides, the state, the mafia, some organizations... it would make him very uncomfortable and I don't think a man like satoshi would ever want such a life, but I don't think he would be killed because the people who were stronger than him would already get what they wanted from him anyway. who would benefit from a dead satoshi?
Your opinion is good and that's why the creator of Bitcoin has disguised his real name and hidden his real existence and face. I am sure that almost no one in the cryotocurency industry knows where Satoshi is or what he is like. Yes, even though someone might already know Satoshi and really know about him and even his existence, only a few people and they will always hide this information. All of this was done not only as if it was for Satoshi's safety but for the good and the ongoing development of the cryptocurrency industry. I agree. he did it not only for his own sake, but also for the sake of the cryptocurrency industry that he helped create Yes, otherwise bitcoin might not be the success it has become along the years, because investors would see the digital currency as a mean Satoshi used to gain popularity, notoriety and become a global celebrity for personal financial and status purposes, similar to what Craig Wright attempted to do when revealed to be the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. I think Satoshi knew that he being known would be detrimental to bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrencies' ecosystem, so he remained anonymous. He made sure his acts would sound louder than the weight of the person behind them. And this strategy worked nicely. |

In the most immediate sense you might be not too far from the truth there, the rising trend in BTC puts pressure in elements that are priced in it so FUN token could fall or in simple terms stay with parity to the dollar. Further out I think BTC rising back to anywhere near to its peak will mean greater confidence levels then we have now, so that confidence likely helps FUN token and the projects its connected to so less risk premium means a higher price even in dollars. If the BTC trend continues over months it will help FUN price in Satoshi to either stay neutral or even gain; this is generally true that its possible to outperform BTC itself while there is a sustained expansion in the crypto space.
I also think FUN will pump once Bitcoin begins an unstoppable bull run. So paired to dollar, FUN must still be a profitable investment, although it doesn't have the same profitability potential of bitcoin in my opinion. FUN already had its ATH and it's toofar from it now. Usually altcoins like FUN don't manage to reproduce the same previous ATH hype on future bullish cycles. Regards premium program the biggest advantage right now is the extra 0,92% APY paid over bitcoin balance. |

I will add another reason to stay away from (most of) the altcoins and thats they are ponzi based
and they are here just to make money for themselves and nothing else. The only alts that have
been worth it are still alive since many years, getting increased volume everyday and thus
having more stake based economy as well. They are some real deals. However, by now
everyone should know the difference between which one is scam and which one is legit. Crypto
has already taught us so many lessons and shown so many types of scams that its far more
easier to know whose the scammer and whose gonna stand out of the crowd after release. In
the initial days, everything was fresh and the market was underestimated. Everyone used to
think that this alt is the next bitcoin so they used to jump into every alt thats coming out. I think
we learnt the lesson now and its time we do not go and buy every alt that is on the market.
The pump and dump scheme most altcoins are based on, is a kind of ponzi scheme which rewards the first buyers and gets the money from the late ones. Every new hype in crypto world has this as consequence: ICOs, NFTs, memecoins... And unfortunatelly I think people didn't learn the lesson, because they are still looking for the next bitcoin, instead of investing in bitcoin, because they aren't satisfied with the potential profit btc can generate. Investors are blind by their own greed, aiming unrealistic goals to grow few pennies into thousands or few thousands into millions overnight. It still seems it's going to take a long time until crypto enthusiasts get aware of the risks surrounding them. |

well, top listed coins isn't that hard to trust our investments at least try to put money in top 3? or top 5 for safer fund investing.
Investing in top 3 cryptocurrencies mean you are going to diversify your portfolio between Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Tether (USDT). The first two currencies are fine, but do you really trust Tether? The community has many suspicions regards stablecoins, especially USDT, as they were already caught lying about having value reserves to back dollar in 1:1 proportion. They are a centralized company and demand adopters to trust their word, just like FTX and Celsius companies did right before collapsing. So if you are really going to introduce Tether to your holdings, think about these aspects before. |

One of the biggest of achieving Financial Freedom has to do with once mindset, there is nothing impossible to achieve if you put your mind to it. So one has to be very positive when you want to get a change. The most most at times is not a problem when people have passion.
Secondly is failing to try new things, a trail and failure gives you a chance but not trying at all is as good as stupid. The environment and people you role with might also limit how you think and reacts.
A positive mindset is very important when trying to achieve financial freedom, so you will have disposition to work in a good mood everyday, while being patient and calm towards the adversities of daily life. To fail is always a bitter experience, but we have no choice besides getting up and following ahead. That is the process to be repeated till things start happening in our professional field as expected. One really needs a good mentor to help with guidelines with what to do ams what to avoid while trying to be financially stable.
The issue in expecting something from a mentor is that he may not exist or never come, so I think we need to be prepared to walk a lone journey, if that is what the destiny brings to us, under the risk of waiting forever for third party guidance and support that may never reach, so we end not achieving the so desired financial freedom after all. |

I don't know if it's becoming a trend. Personally I just see isolated events of gamblers who had huge wins denied by the casino where they played. The root of the problem here in my opinion is that the justice system is legitimizing the excuses adopted by the casinos in such cases against gamblers. It has happened on this case pointed in OP, it has happened in previous cases as well. And when the legal system's authorities make a final decision there is nothing victims can do against it. It's unfair and doesn't even make sense, but that is how this world works.

better hold btc, than motorcycle for sure.
if you want diversify choose another major coin like eth
Well considering OP's description of his motorbike, buying Bitcoin would be a good option unless he is in a financial problem which I don't think he is. Assuming OP's story is true, @OP your need to get started with Bitcoin is just few searches away. I would advise you to invest in hardware wallet to hold your Bitcoin or at least paper wallet if you can do it as well. I am not sure how much your motorbike is worth after selling, but if you could make way for a hardware, please do so. To buy a hardware wallet is the ideal, so he doesn't need to rely on online wallets and exchanges to store his coins. However, it's easier said than done, because such wallets aren't that cheap, even the humblest models. The cheapest Trezor wallet is about $100 here (plus transport fee), while the most expensive model can be found for 355$. I believe they are so expensive for being imported goods. Anyway, it's a big investment for most beginners. I don't know how much his motorbike prices, but considering his description I don't think it stays much above the price of a hardware wallet. Sometimes reality is harsh on us and we need to choose between investing in bitcoin or buying the bitcoin wallet... |

I have some stuffs like an old TV set, some old cooking gas and sone rusty old furnitures in my house which i think can fetch me some reasonable amount of money to start this journey and the good part of it is that I don't use these stuffs so its better to sale it and use the money for my bitcoin investment.
Every extra satoshi you can acquire worths. Before we could earn crypto from zero online, but now some creativity is needed towards the goal of accumulating your initial bitcoin holdings. To get rid of useless stuff we have at home is one of the best ways to raise money and to start investing. Thankfully we have bitcoin, so our investments really make sense, as they return gains on long term, while before bitcoin we had to invest in saving accounts and fixed income offers through traditional banks, which generated negative profit, when compared to the country's inflation advancement. I remember selling used stuff I had at home years ago to invest at bank, and now I even laugh concluding I was so naive to think I was doing a great deal. While if I had invested in btc, i could be multiplying that budget for more than x20. |

Well first i didn’t think this topic will get much attention here, thank you for your replies and answers. But to be specific i wanted like more of the games or matches where those player been caught and what was their punishment and who really found out about their bet
Main punishment is suspension from future games for a while (usually 16-17 games away). Not only players have been caught, but also a referee and a coach, as we can see on the article below: Calvin Ridley and 4 other athletes who were caught betting on their own sportAlthough it's considered a serious offense, usually those athletes aren't doomed forever. But the top 1 of the list above, Pete Rose, was punished with a lifetime ban from baseball, including the Hall of Fame, because he was betting during the time he was manager of the team Cincinnati Reds, including bets on the matches involving his team. |

It would be dangerous for the gamblers if they kept their coins too long in the casino but if the gamblers didn't have the coins, it would be okay for them.
If our account at the casino gets frozen and we still want to go back to gambling at the casino, we can still contact customer service so they can reopen it.
If we never break the casino rules, they will open our account again or tell us to create a new account.
And one thing to watch out for is never to deposit any coins in the casino as there is a risk of closing inactive accounts.
There are casinos that have got their tokens and that's why some gamblers are also investors as they get to have a portion of the casino's profit through dividends by having the token that they own. Yeah, I agree that it's not recommended to keep your funds the same as the exchanges in the casinos because you'll not know if something happens badly and your funds is also affected. Someone who has investments at casino platforms should monitor it every few weeks or once a month at least. They also need to monitor their email frequently, because if the casino is going to seize funds or close an account due to inactivity, they usually send a warning email first to the user in question with a deadline. Anyway, since the goal of the investment is long term, I think it's unfair if a casino forces the investor to keep login in to not close his account. It looks like the platform isn't being user friendly when doing this, and also like they are putting a trap (investment feature) to grab money from careless investors. |
