When Bitstarz is ranked at number 2, I seriously doubt the ranking methodologies of your website! Bitstarz is a known scam website with loads of negative reviews about them. Just do a little Google search and you will know it.

How are you planning to review the casinos? Are you just going to about your own experience or are you going to consider thw public reviews as well. I suggest you to visit the scam acquisition section of bitcointalk to keep yourself up to date regarding the newest scams!

Can you please enlighten us on how you have reached this conclusion that you have found Satoshi? Till date many people have joined the bandwagon of being Satoshi Nakamoto and no strong proof is found yet.

What made you think that Xiaozhi Ariso Yang is Satoshi Nakamoto?

Lol! I don't know how people still think that an internet currency with only 21 million of total circulation can replace an age old system like banks! Those who believe in it, I would request them to wake up and face the reality. Banking system can not be replaced by bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency or even with all cryptocurrencies put together. It's just not possible!

Cryptocurrency will remain as a dominant player of a parallel economy. It's hard for it to become even mainstream!

I believe favorable regulations will be good for any country and their citizens. Blanket ban will only create an underground market and people will pay zero tax on their black money. So banning a cryptocurrency is not a solution, rather it's an initiation of a much larger issue!

So I don't think banning cryptocurrency will bring in any positive impact on Nigeria. Because common people always try to stay within their legal limits. So no matter whatever free advertising it is doing for bitcoin, it will be mostly negative for the commoners.

But I sincerely hope these governments realize their mistake soon before it's too late!

The global crypto market valuation is 1.4 trillion usd. How come Coinbase alone is valued at 77 billion!!!! I mean a single company based on crypto market is having a valuation of half of the entire crypo market. That's really strange!

I thought Binance is ever bigger company than Coinbase. I am really not sure what is the evaluation methodology here but it looks severely wrong!

This "circle of competence" is a real thing! For this same reason people like Warren Buffet have never invested in bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency ever. Rather, he stayed back with his old school investment where he succeeded.

Same goes with an Indian billionaire Rakesh Jhunjhunwala who is also known as Indian Warren Buffett. He has recently voiced his statement agaisnt bitcoin and urged Indian government to ban it. So for many people, Bitcoin is out of their circle of Competence.

But there are millions of other people who had adopted bitcoin for a better financial future. For me, it's within my circle of Competence since last few years!

There is a high possibility of widespread adoption of lightening network, unless the high fees and network slowness is resolved once and for all. But miners won't be dommed even if most of the transactions move to off-chain because transaction fees is quite small compared to their mining rewards.

I think big companies like Binance, CMC, Coinbase should start educating people about LN. There is literally no awareness around LN which is really needed at this point of time. I don't think LN will replace on-chain transaction for good but the adoption should definitely be increasing!

I don't think there is any way to verify the legitimacy of an in- house casino competition. Casinos can definitely create fake accounts and place them to the top of the leaderboard so that they don't have to actually pay out the prize money to anyone else other than an insider.

Holding raffles and lotteries in bitcointalk is still verifiable but nòt the in-house ones. That's why I prefer to enter only free raffles in online casinos where I don't risk loosing anything. But unfortunately, I have never won anything even in free raffles!

Coinbase has been planning for it since last year. But they couldn't do it due to Covid-19 situation. But finally they have done it! It's a big news for the crypto market because coinbase is a company built around cryptocurrency that is going public. Probably it will attract more institutional interest around crypto, but that time will tell!

But I am happy because Coinbase can set an example to the world that cryptocurrency is a serious business and certainly not a threat to the economy.

Well it's not WazirX alone. The same is happening with Coinswitch Kuber as well! It seems that there are some issues with UPI payment gateway and it's not something that these companies can do. I have been following Nischal's twitter account for this.

So expect the matter to run for few more days before the banks can fix the issue!

No system can be flawless and bitcoin is no exception! So the fees and waiting time are real challenges at this moment. And the fees is expected to go up in case the price goes up further. So we have something called lightening network. Which is a side chain transaction Facilitator and where you can send bitcoins using low fees and the transactions are usually instant.

I think, people should start using LN more and more now because of these challenges! Otherwise, you will have to constantly look at the mempool volume and time your transaction for the optimum period.

Well I empathize with you here! I too had faced Similar situation where I had paid big enough transaction fees and had to wait for 2 hours to get at least 3 confirmations. So bitcoin doesn't really look good as a currency at this point! I believe the situation would continue if the price of bitcoin continues to rise! There's no going back and we can't expect to have things any cheaper.

I think, it's high time we adopt LN! It's already live and LN enabled wallets are also available. Unless the confirmation time is reduced and the transaction fee becomes cheaper, bitcoin looks good for investment only!

Is there any other casino available that guarantees you a win in every 200 spins?? Show us and we will avoid it because that's an alarm for us! So you shouldn't have expected such things from any casino and not only the king Billy one!

Also it seems the parent company N1 Interactive Ltd. operates total 28 casinos in the market. Check the link below,

You acquisition seems pretty vague!

Privacy coins are our best bet for the future! Because many regressive governments are trying to impose a blanket ban on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. As we will see more and more countries joining the ban bandwagon, the demand of privacy coins will only increase! Many people will go against the law to keep on transacting in cryptocurrency even after such ban and privacy coins will be their primary choice!

So if you are planning for the future, privacy coins must be a part of your crypto portfolio!

It's not ETH only. All major cryptos have dropped!

It's not cryptos only. All major stock markets around the world have dropped!

So I assume it's a correction that we were expecting from a long time. Any increase without correction is fatal. So it's was anticipated already! I don't think anything special or out-of-the-box has happened!

I doubt institutional players are manipulating the bitcoin market in any way! They are definitely are in position to manipulate the market due to their huge holdings but I don't think that anyone of them have sold anything from their coffers. So the question of market manipulation by the institutional investors can be factored out!

It's like owning a nuclear weapon! If you have it, you have the power but if you don't use it, bo one can blame you for mass murder! Same applies here as well!

Btw, the stock markets around the world is also falling since yesterday. Possibly something different is happening which we don't don't have an idea about!

Very much possible! That's the risk for the small people like us when big corporates with billions of dollars jumps into the market. So they hold such a huge volume of bitcoins, where they can easily manipulate the market. However, this dip seems more like a healthy correction instead of a manipulation. because we haven't heard any news of big selling in the market. It is probably the retail investors are booking their profit in big numbers and price is decreasing to support another healthy surge in price. But Elon Musk can simply take benefit of such decrease in price and fill their coffers again with new bitcoins. No one knows!

These are international bookmakers and not Indian bookmakers! It seems that these bookmakers just accepts registrations from India. But that doesn't make it "Bookmakers in India"! So please update the thread title as "List of best bookmakers that accepts players from India". That would be a technically correct name for this thread and won't misguide people! BTW, any kind of gambling is legally banned in India. Even though gambling activity happens quite often but legally banned! So please be a little discreet here!

Oh Wait! Crypto is soon to be regulated in Nigeria??

As far as I know, cryptocurrency is already banned in Nigeria since beginning of February 2021 as per the circular issued by NCB on 7 February 2021. Correct me if I am wrong here! So it's really surprising that Nigerian SEC has issued such statement which is somewhat contradicting with the viewpoint of NCB. Not sure if SEC is planning to overrule the ban of NCB and want to suggest regulation instead.

Because a ban will always be bypassed with p2p trading. It will be similar to finding a needle in a haystack and government will keep on loosing its potential tax revenue!  

Every story has two legs to it. So when institutional investment is a good thing in general, there are bad things no one talks about. Now we need to see which one is more effective and positive for the overall market and decide wisely,

Good things:
1. Additional liquidity
2. Make bitcoin a more serious asset to the mass
3. Less volatility (expected but not happening)

Bad things:
1. A lot of bitcoins will be taken out of supply for long term
2. Corporates have money and they can emerge as a whale in no time which may grant them a power to control the market
3. Increaed regulatory intervention into bitcoin market

Bitcoin wasn't created to become an investment asset. However, with its meteoric price rise, has made it an extraordinary investment asset to hold onto. So big corporates are showing their interest on bitcoin and the interis increasing on a daily basis. So to some extent, it has become a speculative asset, rather than a currency!
