Is the forum the only place you have this donation posted? they are other bitcoin communities including this forum where people can throw funds to help you bounce back to your work. What matters is the samples you have provided and the proofs of owning and learning these fantastic arts. Hit up some influencers on twitter to share your work and aswell go for bitcoin reddit groups to boost visibility. Keep trying and stay active on the different communities things could change for good, and people will start helping out. Unless you want to stick only on bitcointalk then it's your decision, but don't underestimate other communities in times of trial.

Most of the things we worry about 99 percent of the times don't happen, OP and everyone else should take the necessary precautions of securing their bitcoin rather than worrying about getting beaten up by thieves. It's a weird thought and could lead to unnecessary panic even when nobody has the intention of attacking us. Separating his bitcoin in different locations can help in situations like emergency, offering his loved ones help when on vacation or traveled for something else they can be instructed to access the little amount of bitcoin kept in the room to solve a money related problem till he is back. Things like that can help ease the mind instead of worrying about fire and floods.

Since it requires intense supervision to notice the mistake then it's not much a problem. People have been using the bitcoin logo without complaining, so the slight error is not enough to raise an alarm. Interesting how anything about bitcoin make it to the news blogs. Between I thought bitboy is same with the popular youtuber bitboy, but the article states otherwise.

Right the head office are in control of the programming section, how the machines should work. So, testing out and playing the machine is something they should know how to do, and they can easily get over their losses because they own the algorithm and maths involved in the casino. The employees on the other hand, are expected not to be addicted regardless of where they stake bets.

Indeed, talking to a colleague about his recent behavior that seems like he is addicted to gambling could be offensive, but helping out in a polite way won't sound so horrible to the victim. It takes a gambling conversation to convert a gambler to play responsibly and the person can then become friends with his colleague. What matters is saving the player from being convulsive; it could ruin his career because he won't provide the best services anymore. Secondly, I know a friend that was saved from gambling through his girlfriend. It works if the addicted player is married or in a relationship instead of meeting them to complain about their gambling habit, their spouse can handle vividly the task of advising, and counseling the victim to change their habit. The victim needs to hear it from someone they trust. It's more effective this way than causing more misunderstanding.

Yes I'm using Firefox maybe it's the fault of the browser as I've gone through the answers here. Though I don't have chrome updated on my PC and like Rikafip said, it's not a trouble just wanted to confirm if I'm the only person that's experiecing the problem. I'd try with chrome once it's updated.

I've been trying for sometimes to know if the shortcuts alt+s for submit and alt+p to preview would work on my PC, but it seems useless and wouldn't make any changes. I think it's my Laptop's fault, and I'm not close to my desktop to confirm how true my instinct is about that. So, I thought about asking forum members if they have a means of achieving the shortcut key or it doesn't just work. Have you been using the shortcuts to post and preview your posts?

Knowing someone is a scammer can be difficult but easier after they've scammed you. So, you'll have to be careful with high profit services, the forum helps to identify a scammer by adding a warning box untop of the person's service thread stating that lots of users have pointed the user as a scammer, but that doesn't solve most of the problem, because people still go on working with such persons even after reading the warning.

If you confirm someone is a scammer don't hesitate to drop a negative feedback on the person's account or open a thread on the reputation or scam accusation section reporting to the forum about the user with proves of chat and Bitcoin transaction hash.

To avoid scam you need to work with users that have got quality reviews on their service thread. And always confirm by asking for a review copy of their services before paying; for a user with lesser reputation.

Stay safe.

OP's desperation must have left him with no option than to choose BTC, which is a good take. I think from his motives he wants a starting point to begin his trading journey. Binance would be a good place for OP, as they offer trading tutorials for beginners and he could as well start with small funds. They're nice wallets recommended for him already, but some like electrum seem technical for a newbie like OP. What matters now is for him to try hot Android wallets for now then move on to open source wallet like electrum.

But, first, like you said Op needs to cool off and watch how the market works, he sounds hurried, like he wants a quick turn up from his investment. I hope he won't get in the hands of cheater again, if he sticks to the forum he would learn how to do it himself.

They are players that prepare all the funds they have for gambling and such people focus mainly on gambling than any other thing. They see gambling like a full time job, a source of income, so it's their business and not pleasure anymore. But, such a life is not recommendable for any gambler as it won't help them on the long run. They could lose out on every fund they've budgeted for gambling which could lead to depression. I think such people with little or no savings are not only addicted, but are worried about their losses and striving to hit a jack pot at all cost, which keeps them glued to playing games.

When seeking an answer anywhere, you're expected to know the right answer through the correspondence from people that give out merits or quote the answer to be correct, and if you are not satisfied with the responses here, keep asking more questions under the thread you created until the answers are simplified to your own understanding. Furthermore, it's always important to read the links that members provide on your thread, it'll better clarify you with what you are looking out for, however it's rare to get wrong answers from the forum that goes unnoticed. Members tend to point it out as a wrong answer, so it's necessary to read word for word the responses you get on your thread.

I think the sender has a number and his identity is unknown to the Op unlike the kind of unknown number you mean that has no identity or number, that can only happen for calls, I've not received an SMS from an unknown number without any ID. However, it's certain that Op would receive lots of these messages and the sender may not be targeting his crypto it could be some marketers using bulk SMS to market their app. But to be safe it's better not to download the file. Secondly, Op, shouldnt drop his numbers on public forums or social media where these people scrape numbers for bulk SMS.

Me too, I easily get tired playing games on PC compared to phone, as I can lay on my bed while choosing the best bet to take. Though, it's always good to play on desktop looking at the size of the screen. I mean, that's why the both were created, to suit our preferences. I have noticed that some phones can't open casino sites like desktop with their user interface.  Since the both solve problems differently, I appreciate desktop and phone together.

I don't think this is right, those working in casino, not all know a thing about gambling. The croupiers are there to set things up or make arrangements for live games. Seeing them as gamblers can be wrong because most of them don't gamble and the CEO won't need such as it can ruin their business. The employees won't be serious with the business. Even in real casinos players always get disappointed with the void answers casino workers give to their questions, showing that they know nothing about how a machine works or the bonus a machine pays out. In addition, the few who gamble may not be allowed to play in the same casino where they work.

They is a saying, "it's important to be kind than to be important", people had to get emotional about his post, and tried to help. That's what happened, so if it happened to be a begging thread which breaks the forum rule as the moderator said. considering that we are humans and easily moved by things we read especially one that refers to another person's bitter moments, that doesn't mean people shouldn't help a member even if he didn't ask for the help.

It's a totally different thing looking at the numerous amount of altcoins in the market, it proves that the market is decentralized and anybody can work on the network. So, if a person doesn't feel like adopting bitcoin they can hold on altcoin for their own risk. I don't think the altcoins are affecting bitcoin instead the failure of the altcoins are like a torn in the flesh of bitcoin. Therefore if those altcoins performs well in the market it won't be bad to have them. Take a look at Ethereum, Bch and ltc they've been around for longer times and not only that, they have led lots of investors to hold bitcoin. What we should expect is lots of quality altcoins example on netflix the movies they are all quality.

Looking up strange words is one of the fastest means of learning, it boosts quickly the zeal to continue, but one disadvantage of it which Op should get hold of is lack of continuity. If he maps out 2hrs a day for trading tuition online and learning the meaning of the terminologies he'll achieve a lot before 30 days and his questions here would improve as well.

It's a nice point, but we are not expected to meet random persons. The both parties must have proven themselves to be close before moving forward to a scene. Like the introverts, they need to trust before he/she becomes an extrovert in their visitors presence. So, talking about Bitcoin meetings I don't think a well informed person would choose a dangerous venue for their meetings, so getting in trouble may not be on a high possibility. Like I said Depending on the kind of relationship they've built either in the forum or elsewhere.

The Bitcoin market is making sellers look guilty of how they want to use their assets. It's not meant to be that way. Hodling helps the network, but we are in control of what to do with our assets that is why Bitcoin is better than the bank. The seller who made such a sell after holding for 11 years made more profits (one reason we are told not to sell) yet I don't see the difference between him and the person that sold after a year (instance). The end scene is that they sold. Let's predict he bought a new property with such a huge amount, that's his pleasure that made him to sell. That doesn't mean he can't sell the property tomorrow and buy Bitcoin at a cheaper or higher amount, at the end, it still helps the network. Then, let's back forward to the guy that sold 1 year after hodling, he may not have made so much profits, but the window is always open for them to buy more. In a nutshell, hodling as long as you can is necessary. Don't let the hodling pressure in the market create a self psychology in you that makes you feel unserious after selling your coin. If it matters to sell no problem. Holding is good too, but we have pleasures and problems in life to tackle.
