Many regret always happen in this world, many people also regret why not investing in Bitcoin when the price was very low and undervalue?
The answer is:
the trust.
Because at that time, who knows that Bitcoin will be as big as now?
Who knows that Bitcoin will be accepted by many more people?
And who knows that Bitcoin price will rise up as high as right now?
Additionally, $1000 at that time may value bigger than $1000 right now. The time go on. And even at that time, we may invest and in fact, the rice was going down more than at that time, what will happen? We will regret it again, won't we?
That is why there is no need to regret what has been passed in the past. Moreover with many calculation that we should get if we invest at that time, it will multiple the bigger regret.
Just use the past as the expericne and lessons. Now, the rigth chocie is what to do right now Not to calculate what should ahppen to us because of the past, but what we can do for us for our present and future

Well everyone here has regrets about their past bitcoin investment decisions. No doubt about that. Everyone laughs at the pizza guy who could have been a multimillionaire if he didnt trade his coins for a pizza but to be honest, I sold my bitcoin back then to buy a nice new camera. Which would be work 400k in todays money. Makes me a bit sad thinking about it but back then I did not really understand Bitcoin and had no idea it would go from 90 bucks to 60k. Roll Eyes

What is the main purpose of Cryptocurrency? A decentralized currency that can be used anywhere at any time. So why should it be real currency? The main purpose of BTC & other currencies is it doesn't depend on any single one. It depends on whole crypto holders.

Why? Because decentralisation is the very core of human economic freedom. Nobody gets to decide what happens to your money or where it goes except for you! No government gets to freeze your funds just because you are an innocent citizen of a country with a dictator who wages war! Nobody can take your money away from you! This is a concept which has never existed in history before.

The freedom to be your own bank.

BREAKING: Visa and MasterCard are reportedly shutting down their services in Russia.


Damn.

Looks like a PR move. Most banks were already under sanctions so those cards already couldn't be used outside of Russia. And appears they already covered their ass and domestic transactions in Russia will continue to work. It'll only affect tourists trying to use their cards inside Russia, not sure how many of those are still in Russia.

Quote
Beginning in 2015, the Russia government said domestic transactions in the Russian Federation had to be processed in the country and through a state-owned processor. Russia made moves in recent years “to insulate domestic card volumes from potential sanctions,” Barclays analyst Ramsey El-Assal wrote in a Feb. 28 note to clients, given the impact of U.S. sanctions on payment cards in Russia back in 2014.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/visa-mastercard-say-they-will-suspend-russia-operations/ar-AAUFi9A

Its mostly all PR now. I see all these celebs jumping on the Anti-Russian wagon to get some clout. And they always find a way to make it about THEMSELVES. Honestly, its disgusting.

7. Don't be too strict about your rules.
It's better to have a FAQ page and a clear and well detailed ToS page than to be lenient and don't enforce rules.
^ This caught my attention, in what way we can consider as strict about the rules?
A KYC? IP restriction? or anything else that I did not mention.
But that is a good idea, there should be a FAQ that gamblers need to read because I know a few of us did not read TOS especially if this is long to read like it reach 3-4 pages. However, TOS should need to spend time before using such a gambling platform so that we know those very crucial rules that we should be avoided.

Well from a legal point of view as well as from the point of view of other's countries regulations, I do not think that online gambling casinos get to decide their rules. In fact, they are pretty much all enforcing the same rules, more or less.

Thats really something you need to talk to a legal consultant about. Like a lawyer specializing in online gambling casinos.

It should not matter how easy or hard or long the TOS is to read, if its required by law then thats that. No room for user experience and modification.

You would probably be more successful for looking for a developer if you post this in services as a hiring post. The developers frequent those subforums a bit more frequently, looking for jobs like this. This subforum is for gambling discussion, so while you could find some online gambling casino experts here who can advise you on how to develop your dice game, you probably wont find actual coders.

Good luck with your endeavour.

3068  Economy / Gambling / Re: Vulnerabilities in gambling websites in past on: March 04, 2022, 09:51:59 PM
Well, if you consider smart contracts and cryptocurrencies of blockchains like for example, the Binance Smart Chain, then you pay mere cents for each bet. That does not sound like a lot to me? So you pay 14 cents and you bet instead of 1 USD, 86 cents. if you want. Seems fair. Even for the poorest among us, that kind of gambling should be affordable. Most bet at least 10 USD so the 14 cent fee won't even be noticable.

Perhaps there can be some sort of bonus system to even out the fees?
Then 1$~ish fee for every 10 bets is still not reasonable no matter what's the amount use to bet. Plus not so many are fond using tokens to play which mostly can only get from swaps or so.

If the gambling website will not implement bitcoin as payment option since the platform is made for smart contract I'm afraid it will be popular as what gambling website in this board.

Of course its reasonable? If you care about your privacy and your wallet not having someone elses hand in it, then you want decentralization. And if you have to pay a dollar for every 10 bets you make, then thats just the price of freedom. Think of it as a fee. And for that fee, nobody can freeze your account or take your funds from you. Seems like a fair bargain to me. And it might make people think a bit harder/carefully on the kind of bets they wish to make.
3069  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The world of sport reacts to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on: March 04, 2022, 05:16:50 PM
I think that the world of sports has always been one of the firsts if not the very first to show solidarity in any situation and during any event. Its really a big part of what sports is about. Its about getting people together, showing humanity and discouraging inhumanity.

This is what the olympics are always about. Nobody cares about the medals, its about friendly competition and a strengthening of the bonds between countries. But this can go both ways. Currently the Russian people will feel the pang of being left out of something that everyone else is a part of. Something good. Something that would hurt to be left out of.

Economic sanctions do not have this human element.

Heyyyy.... Guys..... How is everyone doing tonight? Good? Good.

Ima just leave this here...

The Russian army is firing from all sides upon Zaporizhzhia NPP, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Fire has already broke out. If it blows up, it will be 10 times larger than Chernobyl.



Do you guys think the extermination of life on earth will affect the Bitcoin price? Proudhon?

Anyway, if Im going out, Im going out on 100 tabs of acid. Gotta arrive at the pearly gates tripping my balls off.

 Calm down everyone.  Chernobyl blew up from within because nearly  e v e r y   s i n g l e  safety system was defeated manually by human hands in order to perform a poorly designed test and the fuel was encased in carbon (as a moderator).  It blew up due to a runaway fission process and and the extreme energy and heat created.  It continued to burn because... that's what carbon does.

 The reactors at Zaporizhzhia are pressurized light water reactors (meaning they use water as a moderator).  Also, each of the 6 reactors is encased in structure built from over 2 meters of steel reinforced concrete which can withstand a direct hit from a 747.  The safety systems are much more robust than those of Chernobyl. 

 It would be good if some stray bullets don't kill the guys trained to operate the reactor though.  -snipped-



Personally, I'm more worried about the safety of the good people of Ukraine from Putin's onslaught.

+1 WOsMerit





It is extremely irresponsible to order the shelling of a nuclear power plant.

Thank you for this information.

3072  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: EU Lawmakers Drop Bitcoin 'Ban' From Draft of Crypto Regulations on: March 03, 2022, 11:57:35 PM
European Union lawmakers have scrapped a section of a pending bill that could have made it illegal for crypto services to deal in coins based on proof-of-work

Quote
The Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) bill, put to the European Parliament by a coalition spearheaded by Stefan Berger, was set for a vote on Monday, February 28. But it was delayed late last week after many in parliament objected to a paragraph regarding proof of work.

Berger confirmed today that paragraph 61 (9c) of the bill has been removed altogether, though the vote has yet to be rescheduled.

Source ---> https://decrypt.co/94157/eu-lawmakers-drop-bitcoin-ban-draft-crypto-regulations



MiCA has the potential to reshape the adoption of cryptocurrency in Europe and the concern of regulators appears to be that these digital currencies must meet 'minimum environmental sustainability criteria' by 2025.

In general, with all the current economic problems, will we hear of a "ban" of Bitcoin soon? At least in European countries?

Hmm, too bad. Perhaps that would have been one of the main motivations to really move Defi and Decentralized Exchanges forward and create better technology for those areas. Centralized Exchanges are a thing of the past and should have died out a long time ago. Centralization goes against everything Bitcoin stands for. Whats the point of having your Bitcoin in a place that can confiscate your funds for any reason at any time? Its basically a bank but fancier.

When the financial system is weaponized, Bitcoin becomes the peacemaker.

Quote
Absolutely nobody in the world thinks any government has handled the pandemic well (other than a sliver of  Zoom-class apparatchiks who were largely unaffected by two years of lockdowns) and corporate media is fast becoming universally reviled.

Secondly, against this backdrop of wholesale loss of credibility and institutional bankruptcy, those in power are getting desperate and increasingly resort to weaponizing the rails of society itself against normal citizens, everywhere:

Russian gov be like : People are starting to use BTCiTcoin !!  Shocked  Shocked

Poutiné: "But we can't tax that!"  Cry  Cry

That is exactly what the people should do. Buy/Sell with Bitcoin and pay workers in Bitcoin. and stop using Rubels. Starve the beast of taxable income. Not even a country can freeze an off-exchange wallet or take over it without having the keys.

Thats what we should be pushing for. Buy Bitcoin, Fuck Putin. Put that on a shirt and sell it for Bitcoin.
3074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance donates $10 million to support Ukraine on: March 03, 2022, 08:29:56 PM
NOW THIS is the way to go. Not by blocking some innocent individuals who have nothing to do with Putin and may even have voluntarily gone to Gulag for two weeks for protesting. THIS is how we show solidarity, not by finding someone to point our fingers at. Not the arrogant sanctions on anyone who says the wrong thing at the wrong time. This should have happened during the Canadian trucker protest as well.

But I guess solidarity only goes so far.

When I tell people that Mexico is one of the next Bitcoin legalizers, then people start scoffing and rolling their eyes at me. But here we are, with definite proof that Mexico is headed towards a Bitcoin filled future. And the more people in Mexico adopt Bitcoin and start spreading the word about Bitcoin, the sooner that bright future will arrive. 100k is now a bearish estimate for 2022.

3078  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Best casinos that gives dividends to token holders? on: March 03, 2022, 05:44:24 AM
As far as I know, and as far as my knowledge on stocks and regulations is concerned, giving away dividends to token holders would be considered a security. So the online casino would have to register with the SEC in order to be allowed to offer something like that. And not only do they have to register with the SEC, there is a cornucopia of massive regulatory laws that would need to be considered. Its a lot of work, and to be honest, it probably would get rejected in the end due to not fullfilling certain requirements.

It would be easier to register a security for an IPO.

Your assumption is that the casino is operating/based out of the US, which is rarely the case given the strict regulations that you mentioned.

I do think that casino dividends are probably a pain in the ass legal wise, but that doesn't mean that people/projects don't actively pursue it.

BetFury is actually quite large as well and they have a very similar system, it's not really equity but it's almost like that.

Well no, I was not assuming that the online casino was based in the USA. Although I see how that misunderstanding happened since I said SEC but should have said register with your own government's process and the governments of the countries you wish to offer the security to. If you for example wish to offer securities to the USA, then you will need to file with the SEC in order to do that.

But if you say the security offer is only for citizens of your own country, then you only need to register with your own government, based on their individual registration process.
3079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever subscribe to any tipser giving sports betting premium picks? on: March 03, 2022, 12:10:28 AM
Uhhmm no. Subscribing to any tipser giving sports betting premium picks is like paying hundreds of dollars to join one of those "legit trading signal groups" where people who lose money because of bad trades blame the group or the individual trader for FUD or making the trade at the wrong time.

Its all a scam. Anyone who has actual real tips is not sharing that with anyone except his insider circle rich friends.

What would be the point of giving away tips about who is best and who is not? The more people know, the less value the bet has.

In other words, your brain (to the extent that you may have ever had one) has converted from a cucumber to a pickle..

Sorry for your loss.

 Cry Cry

Is it wrong that I don't feel much from your swings you take towards me?? Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Anyway, your brain is like a peanut. Small, uncooked and ready to mold away from the small thoughts, the lack of vision and probably the mental degradation you suffer from the vaccine(CV19).

So.. I guess I feel more sorry for your blant/blank existence, I wish you could have seen the world in colors. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

TFW you get left out and nobody compares your brain to anything
