Sorry but I didn't understand that. Everybody who owns bitcoins also own a part of the USA FED? How can that be true, I don't see any connection here. So every bitcoin holder is getting a USD dividend? Will you need the American passport for that? Honestly that sounds too good to be true.

I have an very old email which I usually use for gambling so I receive a lot of spam and scam emails. Over the last 6 months the number of email promotions increased dramatically. This partly due to the pandemic and the larger number of online gamblers, so casinos want to be more competitive in fighting for new customers. Just by looking at the header of an email we can't really say if it is legit or not. The title and name always look very professional, but there is one way to always check. Just looking on the actual email adress. Scammers usually use very long addresses that sound already fake and are not something like promotions@casino.xyz

I think it's hard to get a full picture of ourselves from just our own point of view. Even if we look in a mirror it will be not a true picture. That is why it's so important to talk with family and friends. Sometimes it's much easier for them to tell things ourselves we weren't aware of. I always tell my friends to be fully honest with me, it helps me in the long run.

I think that many countries would like to do the same but controlling large land borders seems impossible in today's world. Having your own island makes it so much more easier. Iceland and New Zealand did the exact same thing. Even UK tried to do it during the height of the corona pandemic. As long as these measures are short term and time limited. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Its a bit hard to give advice without knowing  a bit more about your plans.

How much money do you want to invest?

Does it really have to be 5 coins?

The alt coin market is usually more volatile than other asset classes, so just investing and forgetting about the coins is a bit risky. My favourite alt coin is still ETH.

During my first few adventures on online casinos I got blindsighted by the large deposit bonuses. Especially numbers like a 200% bonus made it hard for me to resist. I thought that I could just play a bit red/black roulette strategy and quickly cash out that bonus. Once I made a decent profit and tried to withdraw I realised that there are conditions to be met before withdrawing any winnings. With hindsight now I was a bit naive to think I could just withdraw. Nowadays I read the terms of the deposit bonus before gambling.

Besides my normal 9 to 5 job, I also so some online business myself. Crypto currencies is just an investment for me, I don't spend too much time trading so I can't count it as an business. The most time I spent making money online is by buying and selling things via ebay. I tend to look at local fairs for cheap deals that I then can sell online with a small profit.

I met my current girlfriend through online dating, we have been together for almost a year and I am very happy to have found her. She is from another city so the first 4 weeks just chatted and spoke on the phone, once we met in person I already felt I knew her for a long time. In today's fast moving world having online dating is a great help.

I read an article this weekend from a big newspaper that said scientist from the Wuhan virus institute were admitted to the hospital in autumn 2019. This would mean there were corona cases before the official reports from China. And the outbreak might really happen in the laboratory and not the fish market. China is of course saying it's all fake news and not true. So far we still didn't have an international independent science team checking were the virus came from.

The biggest reason for me why I prefer cryptos over other commodities including oil is that storing is so much easier. Storing commodities like oil or gold in larger quantities is very expensive. The only real alternative is buying financial derivatives, like futures or ETFs but then you always need to trust the bank behind. I want to own the underlying assets myself. With crypto currencies I have so much more flexibility and choose freely what to buy and what to sell with lower fees.

I agree, a lot of our lifestyle changed to online within the corona pandemic. What is so surprising is how even the older generation adapted to this phrnemon. My father is really bad with computers and cell phones, he never wanted a smart phone and once he got one he just used it to call and maybe send a few messages. But since the pandemic and lockdown,he completely changed. I showed him how to do video calls and now he does it many times a day, he feels offended if I want a normal call. Also a friend of my parents who is 71 told me last time I saw that he started with online gambling, at that age 

I have three favourite outdoor activities, depending on the type of year. During winter I love snowboarding, during summer I love swimming in the sea and during spring and autumn I love riding my bike. And when it's raining I am sad.

I think there are two negative type of people towards gambling and who try to stop it. The first group is former gamblers who either lost money or who tried hard and never managed to win big. The feel like they deserve to win but the bad casinos are rigged and they had to chance. This is probably the more extremer group where changing their mind seems very hard. The second group is not so extreme and could like be reasoned with. They are just negative people, probably never really gambled and just want to ruin the fun for others.

It's great to read success stories from some of the older members here. I agree with you that we shouldn't expect to become millionaires overnight. It is rather important to stay for the long run. The first time i was here was in 2016, but due to moving to a new city and starting a new job I didn't really have much time for cryptos and ended up selling my coins. I probably regret this once every few days, but we can't change it, the past is behind us. Now we need to plan for the future. Only came back to cryptos recently, but not going to make the same mistake again.

This looks awesome, we have two small castles near my home town, where once a year is a week of medieval markets and including some fighting. This was before corona, so hopefully next year this will be happening. There is one blacksmith I have known for many years now, he makes the swords and chain mail and other amor. He told me that while the fighting looks very brutal that it is not real. It is similar to WWE which is more of a show than a actual fight. At first I was a bit surprised because it looked so real. No idea if it is in other regions the same, but if it was real I would bet on it.

I thought the name shit coin was already take a while back, or was it just a project that never materialised? There are already plenty of fun coins out there, so why not another one. Since you will be the king of shit coins, how about you give some of your starting coins to fellow bitcointalk members? You could make a few giveaways here.

I agree with you that any new fiscal stimulus package will likely have a positive impact on bitcoins. But there are also risks that we are facing right now with bitcoins. What if more countries and Billionaires join in on bashing bitcoins? Even though the bitcoin price I still high compared to one year ago, we need to remain cautious. This is probably the last chance for countries to stop bitcoin. Once we reach another ATH there won't be anything stopping bitcoins.

That's a good summary on Revolutions and failing protests. One point I would add is that many people are too lazy to change something and just accept their miserable position. When we see flashy protests on the streets where masked individual fight with the police it always looks like that whole country is on fire. But in reality most people just sit at home and don't want to engage. It is hard to get everybody involved into a revolution. That is also why we see most revolutions are done by the military, because they have the power.

My most favourite gambling game is poker. I love playing card games and having the chance to play against other people is great. What makes poker so cool is that you don't need to have the best hand to win the pot. Bluffing is an important feature of poker that can make us a lot of money. Unfortunately poker became very competitive over the years so we need to stay focused and sharp. My second favourite online game is dice, you 50/50 chances to double your money.

Hello, thank you for your opportunity to ask some question here. Probably many are like me and would like to know more about the gambling industry and how to work in that area. I have two questions for you,

1. Do you have any special training or education for the job in gambling? Was it hard to get these qualifications?

2. How did you find that job? Is it possible to start working in the online gambling industry without any prior knowledge?

Thanks in advance
