I think new casinos didn't get recognization because the previous generation of casinos has put available for gamblers everything they require from an online gambling platform. Gamblers are satisfied with services they have at their disposal at casinos like Stake, Duelbits, Rollbit, Owl games and others. It actually doesn't make sense for new brand casinos to come into the scene while offering those same services, features and concepts, because gamblers already have everything in well consolidated and reputable platforms. For new casinos it would be interesting if they innovate the industry, like the casinos I mentioned before did when compared to the early dice websites we had in crypto universe.

There are no guarantees, but someone must try. If it's a short campaign which last few weeks it really doesn't worth, but there are long lasting campaigns here active for several years already. Many of those members could have made a good deal acquiring properties only through this income.

And even if the campaign finishes suddenly and the person loses his income, I believe the necessity creates the opportunity, so the person will have to find an alternative method to replace that income to continue paying the monthly amortization quotas. Since there is a financial obligation involved, this individual will search for a job with much more effort and disposition. While if he had no debt, he would be in a confort zone.

Location is everything. I think residential areas are more risky for investments, while countryside and commercial propertials are the ideal ones, because they are versatile and encompass a wide variety of potential renters and businesses concepts which can be implemented there.

The winners' list was posted on Twitter by freebitco.in's official account. However, when I click it, it's said the link isn't safe and that someone might be attempting to invade my device/connection. When this warning appears, I don't go ahead. So let's wait for the website to be updated. The lottery tab seems a little bit bugged right now. When you click to see previous rounds' results, you can't return to the currently one which displays 120 tickets and an unique winner anymore.

No emails here as well. Maybe once in a lifetime we can still win something from that lottery.

Interesting points for the question: "does money buy happiness?"

Although you are right, I observe some things in life:

- People don't trust who doesn't have money, because they are seen as lazy, irresponsible, waster, freeloader.

- Women reject men who don't have a decent income, career, properties, or will stay glad by the side of the man while he can offer her a confortable life. When there is a confortable life, trips, restaurants, daily shoppings there will be "love" and a smooth relationship, but once you remove the money factor a lot of disagreements will appear frequently.

- The person who has lived a long life and hasn't made considerable fortune is considered a failure and often feels like this.

In theory there is more values and loyalty than on practice, unfortunatelly. Money should be a tool, but ends becoming the main purpose of most people's lives.

I think it depends on the location. Where I live it's possible to buy a land lot for 5600$ where it's going to be a houses complex. Water and electricity are already scheduled. I don't know if it's a good investment, though, because I fear it can become a slum later. So there is violence, problematic neighborhood, low quality infrastructure, not good looking surroundings... And all these characteristics make the investment completely loses its value. Anyway, the costs are pretty cheap in my opinion. Even signature campaigns' income can pay for that.

FUN token ranks at first position, followed by CoinPoker CHP. They are not very popular in the market, considering their top 1 in at 271º position among all cryptos, but you have to read what features each of those tokens offer to holders.

You need to spend 24$-30$ bucks monthly to use the AI without limits, and have a decent length of spare time to try different combinations until reaching the results you are looking for. And the results aren't totally smooth. There are sitll many imperfections someone would need to fix manually. As you can see the bull I've posted in OP has an extra frontal undeveloped leg.

Probably so. There are AIs modifying and creating songs as well, although the quality is low and sometimes bizarre, morbid.

I'm impressed with some results in many ways. I can't say they are original, but sometimes the AI recovers concepts which are amazing, but were forgotten for a long time already in history. Things that people nowadays couldn't re-create or reproduce with the same accuracy if it wasn't for the AI. Especially if you want to portray past decades and centuries on your images.

On this aspect you are right. Transactions being irreversible is a good feature for sellers, but not good for customers, since it might be difficult to ask for a refund in case the seller is the scammer, instead of the buyer. That is a guarantee customers have when purchasing at online shopping websites and when using traditional payment methods through their banks, as they are centralized services.

Anyway this is a delicate matter. I think the refund policy should be clear, like customers have until 3 days to ask for it. So for 3 days, funds remain in bitcoin at the shop, but after that time period they can be swap into fiat and used by the shop's owner. Or the refund policy should return the customer btc amount proportional to the fiat value of the purchase.

Martingale can be applied to every gambling games around. You can use it even for sports betting. The problem is that this strategy is never going to work for too long, despite the game you are playing. OP may say it's about luck, but I say it's about playing against a slight house edge of 1%-2% which is inevitably going to smash gamblers' winning probabilities on long run. Martingale works in the same way for every games, though.

They have been raising interest rates since last year, but the impact on crypto industry has been very negative. Theoretically you are right, and the demand for crypto lending services should have increased, as they don't add charge extra interest rates like traditional banks are doing, however, it didn't happen. Some could argue it is because crypto is too volatile, so in every cases bitcoin and altcoins aren't going to be benefited by an increasement on the demand for crypto loans. Probably only stablecoins will, although for bitcoin investors it's insignificant.

I thought interesting that bitcoin hit the 17,000$ yesterday followed by a small correction which pushed it back to $16,900. However, after that bitcoin started pumping again and in accelerated steps to 17,300$ already. It's undeniable the market has gained some sudden breath for some reason, on the opposite of what was expected, that was bitcoin facing a deeper correction yesterday.

Investors are putting hopes and expectations on bitcoin in this beginning of 2023. The question is, has this sentiment come to stay or is it just temporary?

I believe we can't misunderstand greed with ambition. I think @redsun114 meant ambition by his example, because that is what lead us to seek for more money, for better life quality, for status and every other human needs that for some seem bullshit, but for others are necessary for their personal fulfillment and happiness.

Greed, on the other hand, is the insatiable characteristic some people have inside themselves. In this case nothing is enough for the person. He can have all the money of the world, best life standards and status on his society, but he still want more, even though it's not possible. These people losing all their money trading and gambling due to greed would act in the same manner if they were in a superior position, and some of them were for a while and lost everything for being insatiable!

It doesn't happen often. I doubt most of the entrepreneurs who adopted bitcoin as payment method on their beauty and retail shops have seen an increasement of 40% in bitcoin payments from new customers.

What does it implies? Are bitcoin adopters rich, so they can spend more, or they want to make most use as possible from a single transaction's fee?

That is not true. When transacting with btc you have to pay network's fees and when you transact with debit card there aren't fees in many cases.

This point is the one which makes more sense for me. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, so there is no risks for sellers to be cheated by scammers.

Maybe both of them can still play the next World Cup as the last one of their careers. They can't play the whole 90 minutes of a match with all the energy and stamina they were used to, as we have already seen in Qatar, but the coach can use them smartly during some strategical moments of the games. It seems a much better idea to have Messi and Ronaldo on the bench, than some random players who are there just to fill the gaps. About Messi, specifically, I'm sure he will be able to at least raise the morale of the national team if he is there side by side with them.

I'm skeptical regards trading bots, because if they were profitable, every traders could just acquire the top notch bot available in the market, set it up, and earn passive income from the bot's work. It's not what happens for real, though. And in fact it would be impossible, as they are only bots and not seers. As forum members have related, from the accessibility and interactivity point of views, bots are great, but they don't guarantee profit, and in this case I think it's the most important aspect they fail in achieving.

Well, if in 2023 we don't have any major scandals like we had in 2022 I think it will be already a big improvement. I'm optimistic regards that too, but not too much about price recovery. I still think bitcoin is looking too stable to consider the tendency is changing from bearish to bullish. Maybe the market is waiting to see how crypto companies and whales are going to behave, to see if they have learned any lessons. There is a promise of a bull run, and for now that is all. We have to stay hopeful and patient, while not letting our imagination move too far from reality. To daydream in crypto market can involve the same risks of gambling and trading with money we can't afford to lose.

It's not so simple. A president in a latin american country can do nothing by himself. Who controls the country are the Congress and the Supreme Court. If he wants to send a bitcoin legal tender proposal he will need congressmen's support, so he has to compose a majority of the house by his side. I don't know how strong the leftwing party is in Argentina right now, but they use to be strong there. Moreover, leftwing is currently in charge of Argentina and if they maintain their influence, it's going to be even harder for the hypothetical president Javier Gerardo Milei to pass his bitcoin project ahead.

Let's hope his pro-bitcoin statements can at least encourage more argentinians to adopt bitcoin against the devalued peso argentino.

Why not hold 100% for long term gains? If they are losing money it doesn't make much sense to continue insisting on this practice. Instead of losing 20% of their portfolio today, they should be profiting 20% more futurely, from long term tradings. I think someone who attempted day trade for a considerable length of time must feel regretful if he calculates how much he has already lost with bad trades. That represents money that could be put in good use if he had simply held for longer, until the market started pumping again. People venturing into daily trading must think carefully if it worths to have more headaches, spend more time to end losing money after all.

I think it's over. A common altcoin like SHIB which doesn't feature anything original compared to its pairs is used to have a notorious role during only one bull run. There are so many options of cryptos following the same model of SHIB, that next bull run must pick one of those fresh tokens to take to the moon, so the hype potential is bigger. To recycle altcoins is unlikely in my opinion, because people are always looking for something new, launched recently. It's not about efficiency and usage, rather it's all about marketing. And in a specuiative market, marketing is everything...

I guess 1xbit isn't an alternative for gamblers when looking on this forum for crypto casinos where they can play and that is thanks to the community's warnings. So as we can see, that is the system working and delivering positive results, as it should be. We don't need to fear untrustworthy casinos, because they are immediately flagged by forum members. We just have to avoid them. It's easy even for newbies to spot the risks of depositing at 1xbit. They see the warnings, check the reason why they were written there, access ANN thread of the casino and see lots of negative reviews of gamblers (who aren't active members of the forum) being scammed and simply turn around and go to the other casinos promoted here.
