3101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So will the Tailand Baht symbol ฿ not be confused with the Bitcoin symbol ? on: March 15, 2022, 05:59:16 AM
I have read all your comments and I agree with some, but I still want to see what the people in Thailand has to say about this? Remember that they are the people using both currencies the most, apart from money exchanges in other countries.  Roll Eyes 

I also see a lot of people saying that this has been discussed before, but most of those discussions was years back ...and a lot has happened since. (One thing that changed.. was the increased adoption of Bitcoin... which might increase the confusion, because more people are using it)

I think one of the best responses was from #crwth  ...because not a lot of people will confuse 0.0005 BTC with Baht and most items or services will cost less than 1 bitcoin on the street.  Roll Eyes
3102  Economy / Economics / Re: What if Russia economy grows higher after the war on: March 14, 2022, 07:21:05 AM
Putin has not done this to gain economically from this invasion, because Russia is printing money from the increased oil prices. The sanctions will hurt most of the countries more, than they are hurting Russia at the moment.

McDonald’s announced that it would be suspending its operations in Russia. This affects 847 branches and 62,000 employees, who will continue to be paid. - Now, how does a paid vacation sound like, if you not working... but still getting paid?

Russia (Putin) invaded the Ukraine for political gain to flex his muscles to show the world that they are still one of the most powerful countries in the world. They also showed the Ukraine and their own citizens, what will happen if they even considered apposing their reign.  Roll Eyes
3103  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: DUELBITS.COM STOLE 545$ FROM ME PROOF on: March 14, 2022, 06:34:42 AM
Join any gambling site and deposit an amount of money...then do not wager and try to withdraw that money... and you might get the same response from that gambling site. This is a typical "money laundering" flag with most casinos... so it is standard operating procedures to encourage the person to gamble some of that money... to enable them to activate the withdrawal.

A money launderer does not want to lose any money on their deposits, because they simply want to try and "clean" the whole amount and then withdraw the money. (if they are asked.... they will say they won the money from a casino)  Roll Eyes

Now, I am not saying OP is trying to launder the money that he deposited.. he might simply have done this... without any intention to launder any money... but the reaction to this kind of action is the same. (Most casinos will allow you to withdraw, once you wagered some of that money.... win or lose, they will give you your money)  Wink
3104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / So will the Tailand Baht symbol ฿ not be confused with the Bitcoin symbol ? on: March 14, 2022, 05:42:28 AM
I watched some guy that was gambling on a "Live" stream on TiKtok this weekend and I saw that the symbol for his currency (Baht ฿) was very similar to the Bitcoin symbol BTC ...so close that it might be a bit confusing, depending on what Font you were using.

Can someone from Thailand give us some first hand experience with how they are dealing with the similarity of these symbols in their country? It must be very difficult to differentiate between the two symbols, especially if the font is smaller?

I think some small change to the Bitcoin symbol can make it more recognizable? What if we give the the two boobs a nipple on the B for instance. (obviously joking)

Let's discuss...  Wink  

Ps... Type this in Google ==> "bath currency symbol" then click on images and see how many times they use the Bitcoin symbol as the symbol for the Baht currency.  Roll Eyes

If you were a president of one of the biggest countries in the world and you "place" a president that supports Russia in a country on one of your borders .. you know you still have power in that country. Then the citizens in that country riots and the President are removed.... would you not see that as a threat?

In his mind.... he still controls the Ukraine and they must be under the reign of his government... but they do not want that. It will also be a threat to him.. if NATO and the West gets a country on his borders to attack him... in times of war.  Roll Eyes
 
3106  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Drake became partners of the Stake Casino on: March 13, 2022, 05:54:17 PM
I think the real winner is Drake, because he effectively found a way to gamble for free. Stake are paying a lot of other streamers too and they must be getting a ton of money to be able to pay Drake and Watford in the Premier league.  Roll Eyes

Their weekly "Giveaway" has almost 2 million tickets every week.... and each ticket represents $1000 wagered. The best strategy to wager $1000 ...will cost the gamblers about $50 per $1000 wagered. So based on the amount of tickets and their share at a minimum of $50 per ticket = $100 000 000 gross income per week.  Roll Eyes
3107  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Joe Biden's Crypto Executive Order is a Historic Good News for Bitcoin. on: March 13, 2022, 03:44:02 PM
The government is not stupid at all.... they know Russia are using Bitcoin and other Crypto currencies to bypass their sanctions and they are going to use that to "regulate" Bitcoin. (Like 99/11 was an excuse to go to war in the Middle East)

They are also planning to develop a "digital" Dollar and it will be frowned on, if they banned Bitcoin ..just to launch the Digital Dollar in the near future.

You have to evolve with the trends in the global economy and the latest trend is "Blockchain" technologies.  Wink
3108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Bitcoin wallet suddenly activates after 11 years on: March 12, 2022, 08:19:49 PM
There are really a whole bunch of Satoshi Stalkers on this forum.  Roll Eyes If Satoshi wanted money.... he would create something revolutionary ...like he did with Bitcoin and the Blockchain and people will never know it is him or they.

Why put the spotlight on himself after all of these years.... when he knows those addresses are being monitored? Remember one thing.... Satoshi developed this technology and then he posted it online for others to start mining the tokens. A lot of people mined coins back then ...and a lot of it.... and they knew it was illegal at the time... so they all hid their true identities.  Wink
3109  Economy / Gambling / Re: btb88 is now Maverick Games! Join us while we build 🚀 Licensed & Regulated on: March 12, 2022, 03:59:30 PM
During the week ..I saw an article that says the UK regulators ordered unlicensed Crypto ATMs to shutdown. See this article here :
https://www.engadget.com/uk-orders-bitcoin-atm-shutdown-125830919.html

Do you think that Crypto currencies in general are in for a fight in the UK and what contingency plans do you have, if that happens? Will people's Crypto be safe to withdraw... if the regulators clamp down on Crypto?

I see you are licensed in Isle of Man .... so that is why I ask.  Wink

  • Best New Crypto Casino - independent casino expert CSNO named us the best new crypto casino after testing our product
  • Crypto Casino Of The Year - the team at Casinopedia tried us out and gave us the honour of being their crypto casino of the year



If you never mind putting the link where we can read what category your casino received, Slow death has to ask, but you didn't answer yet, you step over the question next.

Has anyone ever heard of "CSNO independent casino experts"? From what I can tell, it seems to be some obscure casino review site, but I've never heard of it in gambling circles.

It would be interesting to know if they are really as "independent" and "expert" as they claim.


Well, Casinopedia looks legit.... but I am not an expert on Casino review sites.  Roll Eyes  I personally feel that the majority of these review sites are silently funded by the casinos that they review. (paid adverts etc.. etc.)

I would much rather believe the ratings from a public Poll on this forum, where reputable people from this community can vote on the performance of the casinos.  Roll Eyes

In any way... I tried the WoW Casino and it was effortless and without too much hassles... I could play for hours.  Wink
3111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 30,000 Bitcoin Buy-In on coinbase on: March 12, 2022, 09:25:47 AM
Well, if my interpretation is correct.... those bitcoins was not bought... it was moved out of Coinbase to another wallet. This might just be a reaction on the announcement that Biden gave an executive order for the regulatory authorities to regulate Bitcoin in the US.

I think this person might have bought these coins a while ago already and they just pushed it to external cold storage, before "regulations" come into play in the near future. (but this might take some time)  Roll Eyes

I would much rather be worried if a bunch of people start to deposit loads of coins on to Exchanges (a possible indicator of a possible dump)  Wink
3112  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin ATMs forced to shutdown in the UK on: March 11, 2022, 12:36:36 PM
Hopefully they will be able to open up again if they are licensed ....  Roll Eyes

This is just a money making stunt to milk more money out of the private companies that are offering them. We saw what happened in New York with the Bit License, when the people who introduced it.... made it so complex that you needed consultants to be able to license it.

Guess who quit their jobs and started working as consultants to get paid to help with these BitLicenses ..... yea you guessed it...   ==>  Benjamin Lawsky  ( Superintendent of Financial Services for the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS)  Roll Eyes

3113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sweet Bonanza: The #1 Pragmatic Play Slots, What's Your Opinion? on: March 11, 2022, 06:56:07 AM
I think one of the reasons why Sweet Bonanza are so popular is the fact that so many Streamers are still playing it. A lot of these streamers are playing with casino money, so they have a endless amount of money to hunt the high multipliers.

I personally think these paid streamers are the main reason why a lot of other people are not hitting the higher multipliers. People play for hours and they are funding the spectacular wins for these paid streamers.  Roll Eyes

I played it for a year or so after it's release and then I saw how some paid streamers are turning it into their personal juicers, so I moved on to Slots that are not being played by them.  Wink

Sweet Bonanza : RTP is 96.49% ..where a lot of others are at around  95.50% ...but it has a medium to high range when it comes to variance.  Roll Eyes
3114  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-01-29] Biden Admin To Regulate Bitcoin As A Matter Of National Security on: March 11, 2022, 06:37:51 AM
President Joe Biden signed an executive order Wednesday that directs federal agencies to address Bitcoin and other digital assets, so this news spread panic through the Bitcoin and Crypto currency community and speculators dumped like crazy.

I personally think it will not be as bad as most people are saying. The trigger for this was Russia using Crypto currency to bypass the financial sanctions that were imposed on them. The Puppet masters does not like it when their power are challenged and when loop-holes are used to nullify their actions to force countries to follow their agenda.  Roll Eyes

On the other hand..... many countries made Crypto donations to the Ukraine... when the Banking system failed. Stake.com donated $1 000 000 to the Ukraine to support them.  Wink
3115  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - 🦉 DRAKE x STAKE 🥩 - Watford FC & UFC Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: March 11, 2022, 05:58:53 AM
Did you anyone complete latest casino level up challenge?
The min bet is 0.1 on slot challenge rules but the Hot Wild Pepper slot has 0.8 min bet that took $200 in less than 10 minutes of gameplay.

That's why we always check first the list of games on offer there are some games that are hard to beat and there are also games with a minimum bet of $1
sometimes i even use demo mode to try so we have to adjust the bankroll when we want to hunt and for this week I have to skip it. on your side did you manage to beat ?
There may not be many participants this week so the chance of a prize is higher.

I see that you are using "Demo mode" as a testing for your strategies, but I doubt if that would actually give you accurate indicators of what the "Real play" results will be. A group of my friends tested the difference between "Demo mode" and "Real Play" and all of them agree that the RTP and volatility are not the same for both modes.

It seems as though the RTP and volatility are VERY good with "Demo Mode" to give the perception that the Slot is good, but once you switch to "Real Play" ....the wins and free spins goes down dramatically.  Roll Eyes
3116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: An interesting project about lightning in the browser on: March 11, 2022, 05:45:09 AM
I have always said.... "Make the Lightning Network more user-friendly ....and they will come" ....so incorporating this into a browser without having to run your own Lightning Network node... is a giant step towards that goal.

I could care less if large Exchanges will be getting onboard with this, because they are already making loads of money and they are destroying Bitcoin's pseudo anonymity.

Thank you OP for posting this.... hope to see a lot more innovation like this.  Wink
3117  Economy / Economics / Re: Master card, Paypal, America express suspending services to Russians on: March 10, 2022, 08:16:32 PM
I am not really worried about the US (Credit card companies) losing their Russian customers, because that is the price you have to pay when you chose sides. You can either make huge profits from the Russians and lose the respect of your other customers world wide and then lose them... or you can cut your losses from the Russians and keep the rest.

So.... their hands are forced.... it is a business decision and not a moral decision. That is why Bitcoin is not pulled into a decision making position.. because there are not a centralized organization that are forced to make these decisions.  Wink
3118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Update on my hardware store which accepts Bitcoin on: March 10, 2022, 12:33:50 PM
Yes, the one stumbling block for most people are the misconceptions that are being spread by mass media about Bitcoin and the message they get from these platforms. People cannot comprehend that something digital can have value and that it can be used as a payment option.

They also think the extreme price fluctuations are indicative of a very risky investment like Ponzi Schemes. Also... spending something that might double or triple in value in a very short time period... does not incentivize people to use it as a currency.  Roll Eyes
3119  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Which wallets are the safest and what can go wrong? on: March 09, 2022, 11:24:19 AM
These are some of your contenders for safe wallets. https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/crypto/the-best-bitcoin-and-crypto-wallets/ but as most Crypto currency enthusiast would say, your wallet is just as safe as you can secure your Private keys and/or Seed words.

You can buy a hardware wallet and it will be one of the safest wallets you will ever have, but if those Seed words for the recovery are not stored in a secure place.... it will be useless. (People will simply take that and restore the wallet onto say Electrum and your coins will be gone)

Also.... do not write down your password for the hardware wallet on a piece of paper and then store those together.  Roll Eyes
3120  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto is a part of war now, like it or not on: March 09, 2022, 08:35:15 AM
Well, one thing that Crypto currency (Bitcoin) has proven during this war is this.... it is Apolitical.

The technology does not take any side of this conflict, like SWIFT is doing to take the side of the Ukrainians. (Also VISA/Mastercards and Banks... blocking their services)

Bitcoin are currently used by both sides of this conflict, with Ukrainians using it to protect their wealth and Western countries making donations to the Ukraine. (Doing it Pseudo anonymously to protect themselves)

The Russians on the other hand are using it to bypass sanctions (international transfers) and also normal citizens within Russia to receive payment for their online activities.

Being Apolitical makes it the perfect payment option for any citizen of this world, no matter what side you choose. No matter what your opinion and views are ... Bitcoin is neutral.  Wink
