what giveaways are free dude, I just made a deposit, played a little, and requested a withdrawal of money, that’s all, but they don’t give me the money.
That means you took advantage of giveaway thinking that it was free. My advice is to wait for their response here rather than ranting against them because if your case is genuine they will sort it out even though you had multiple accounts and never abused the casino.

proof of identity it's totally shit
so any person can be blocked, simply because he used a common VPN, or something else like that, so this is a shitty casino.
Proof of identity is total bullshit but the reason they are cautious is because they do not want anyone to abuse their giveaways with multiple accounts and they will only ask for verification if they are convinced that the IP address you logged in previously abused the site and that does not make them a shitty casino.

By the way, how much was your original deposit on the site ?
He says he deposited 24,000 TRX and he wanted to withdraw 18,000 TRX of the deposited amount, if he is asking for the deposited amount then it is fair to allow them to withdraw them, lets see what stake has to say about the user.

These guys stole my deposit, don’t play here. you can lose your money.
So you claim that your deposit and your account was frozen citing you have multiple accounts and you do not manipulate the system. I did not see that you say that you never had multiple accounts and did nothing wrong while going through all your post, what ever it may be wait for the representatives on what they have to say, this is a reputed site which is running for many years and they will not scam for a few dollars and if you never tried to play the system they will release your deposited coins.

To be honest, I don't think the US military intervention can free people from CCP or other authoritarian regimes. If any of the US, China, Russia go to war, it's undoubtedly will be catastrophic for the planet. I hope the Chinese will have the same sanity level as the Russian so that no one will push the button.
I do accept this as China is a super power and you cannot fight the Chinese and expect peace, a world war will erupt if there is a military action against them and it all depends upon which side Russia will support and if Russia supports the Chinese then it will be catastrophic.

Anyway, to say China will be the king after this pandemic is too short-sighted, wait until WTO privilege about developing country lifted. Then we shall see new dynamics.

There will be a major shift in many sectors like we used to see in the past, this is an awakening call for every nation where they spent billions to military and warfare but an invisible virus forced every country to shut everything, the dynamics will change for the good and no country will be spared from this situation, most of the countries who have manufacturing units in China will ask the companies to move out and Japan already announced a 1.2 billion bail out for companies to move out from China and i am expecting all the major nations doing that and that will have a major impact on the Chinese economy along with the pandemic.

have you ever stopped for a moment and thought about why the conservative media is so concerned about finding someone else to blame?
Everyone liked the blame game, the WHO is responsible for majority of the issue as they were not addressing the situation and even when there were calls for shutting down airports when the spread started WHO gave a briefing that it is not that serious and it is not necessary to shut the airports.
3184  Economy / Economics / Re: Proposed Bill Would Give Americans $2,000 A Month Until Economy Recovers on: April 16, 2020, 09:43:38 PM
There seems to be a qualification. This does not seem to be an assistance covering every single American aged 17 and beyond. I think those who are still employed and are receiving their regular salary won't be enjoying this. Well, if ever this will pass.
The package seems to be huge and they need to print a lot of currency as they are planning to provide two thousand dollars for anyone above 16 years who are making an annual income less than $130,000 is eligible for this package and any married couple earning less than $260,000 will get $4000 and every kid will get $500. With elections coming up i wont be surprised if Trump will find a way to pass this proposed bill.

The guaranteed 6 months would cost $10 trillion. Not even that crazy considering we're all expecting corporate bailouts in that range anyway. I'd much rather it go directly to actual consumers than continue this trickle-down bailout bullshit.
Considering the bailout bullshit for corporate companies these are not that huge but the problem lies when these corporate will need the bailout this time around as there will be more companies in trouble with the recession is imminent because of complete lock down and the virus scare and how each and every government will overcome these is just a puzzle.

Gaethje would have taken this fight even if he hadn’t trained for 6 months. It’s a pay day & if he wins, a shot at Khabib. Gaethje won’t be scared but I expect Ferguson will win.
Justin Gaethje is not known to take fights on short notice and even during this short notice replacement he was in shape and was in gym all day and after consulting with his coaches and the money involved and the intern title on the line might have given him the motivation to accept this fight but the problem is that Justin Gaethje lost against tough competition and anyone who fought Ferguson looked entirely different because they are not able to recognize because of the damage Grin.

The coronavirus is similar to the flu virus.
Covid is not similar to flu simply because the scientist are still not clear about the new virus, with flu we have an understanding about the mortality rate and other essential data but with COVID new data is coming out and hopefully within a few months i expect them to come up with solutions and have a complete understanding about the virus.

Flu vaccinations are given to people, however, why are some of those people again infected by the flu? There might be more strains mutating.
Virus keeps on mutating faster than we expect, if we find a vaccine for a particular strain then they will mutate and find a way to infect us  Undecided. It is a long battle and it will go on as long as humans exist.

Will it be counted as unsolicited spam if I report the PM? Well, I'm not tempted nor feeling offended with the PM but I would like to know what is the forum standing on such case? Posting such bad words on public is okay as per the rules (as we know we have TMAN  Cheesy) but what's the rule for PM in such case?
If you report such cases if the admin or global mod thinks that the profile needs an infraction they usually gets a temporary ban for two weeks if i am not wrong and that is the case with mass PM and advertisement through PM.

3188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING ]: Fury vs Wilder III in Las Vegas on 18th July 2020 !!! on: April 14, 2020, 10:41:52 PM
~snip
I think that even if Wilder had the pedigree that Fury has, he'd still be no match, simply because he's always going to be a puncher.
If Wilder started boxing at a very young age he would have a good base which is defense, Wilder is not having any defense and his only way of boxing is offense and wait for the knockout punch but if he touches anyone clean then he is going down.

The only reason Wilder has been so successful is because of his unorthodox punches, had he been drilled properly like Anthony Joshua, those unorthodox punches would have been drilled out before he even hit the pros. They leave him wide open, and I doubt he would have the technical ability to make up for it.
I watched majority of the fights Wilder was in recently and till now he was fighting the same style without any major changes, even in the Ortiz fight he was getting punched but Wilder got the opportunity to land the knockout punch and we have to remember Ortiz was 40 years old when they faced, with age your reflex goes down and when he fought a sound technical boxer Wilder was exposed. Until Fury goes off the track and start abusing his body again there is no way Wilder is beating Fury.
3189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING ]: Fury vs Wilder III in Las Vegas on 18th July 2020 !!! on: April 14, 2020, 07:13:24 PM
I would say that Wilder should really improve his defense compared to their previous fight.You can really saw that he almost took all shots that made him slowly go down.
The problem here is that Wilder started boxing at the age of 20 and he became a world class champion simply because of his power punching and he is not even a polished boxer like a boxer who started boxing at a young age and for someone to think that Wilder will learn boxing at the age of 34 is really harsh in my opinion  Wink.

Im impressed on Fury's reflexes in spite of being a big guy he do able to dodge out jabs which is really an advantage.
Fury started boxing at a very young age and he is coming from a boxing family and he is known for his reflexes even with his huge frame and in the rematch he knew the best way to beat a heavy puncher is the Kronk way which Emanuel Steward made famous.
3190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why is Telegram associated with fraudsters on: April 14, 2020, 05:39:26 PM
Telegram is a multi-functional tool with the ability to create a bot and a lot of other functionality, but as the question comes to do something useful through Telegram, many say telegram and there are scammers.
There are frauds and scammers literally in every phase of life, bank frauds, credit cards frauds and the list goes on and on and that include the BTCitcoin market in the form of fake mining companies and shit projects in the form of ICO projects fake wallet providers and exchanges and what do you understand seeing the amount of scammers in different varied sectors, it is not associated with any specific sector, where ever there is an opportunity to scam and make money you will find fraudsters trying their hand and i am surprised that you are baffled by that Tongue. Be cautious what you deal and you will be safe, never fall for fantasy returns or illogical investments and that is the only precaution you can take.
3191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Demand for Bitcoin online courses explodes by 300% on: April 13, 2020, 06:00:54 PM
I think this is one bright side when people are in total lockdown and their attention goes to bitcoin and learning it. This is a good indication that bitcoin could explode in the next coming months and everything related to it, (blockchain, technical analysis courses etc).
The situation is not limited to BTCitcoin but certain universities are providing online courses during this lock down period and you can get certification and this is the best time for everyone to learn new things as everyone have a lot of time on their hand to learn new things but this does not mean that BTCitcoin could explode in the coming months because it all depends upon the economic situation after an extensive lock down which will not be great.
3192  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Climate Change on: April 13, 2020, 02:10:00 PM
I think it is important to acknowledge this up front: Electricity usage does not cause climate change.
I think your phrase should be supplemented, and wroten like this: "Electricity usage does not cause climate change, if this electricity is obtained from sources of green electricity and is not related to the use of hydrocarbons." Because the electricity received from oil has a great impact on the environment.
The source of energy production is important, if green resources are used then there is nothing much to worry and if the major mining farms takes a decision that they will use renewable energy then the entire blame game will end. The fools who cry that BTCitcoin is wasting too much energy and causing pollution, they need to focus on companies that produces the majority of the pollution which is the oil companies around the world with some are government owned and some are private and they produce these climate changing chaos. Right now we are in a lock down and i am seeing reports that the pollution is considerably low because there are no vehicles on the road nor any factories functioning and in a short period of time the skies are clear and the pollution is reduced considerably and during this period i have not heard about any mining farms shutting down Wink Cheesy.

How can we safe ourselves from well organized scam projects? Some projects are so well crafted and in the end they scam people, to my own understand research doesn't help here at all, use case, whitepaper, team, every thing are so real and make sense, please give advice about this
There is no way you can understand whether the project is legit or not, the only solution is to support only projects that have experienced developers who has a track record to produce results in the past not especially in the crypto market but in developing software generally, scammers will adapt to the situation and they will come up with legit looking white paper and use case and even might hire models to be the poster for the projects.
3194  Economy / Economics / Re: Nobel Laureate asked India to print more money and not to worry about inflation on: April 12, 2020, 04:58:31 PM
Although judging by the footage from India, their police have little mercy on people who do not follow the prescribed measures.
In most states in India police are taking strict actions against lock down violators including beating their ass up and giving them silly punishments, i do not support police brutality during this pandemic situation and today there is a terrible news coming from Punjab where people cut off the arm of a police officer when they tried to stop them. People are loosing their minds sitting at home and with brutality like these, its awful.

Keynesian is too old-fashioned and knowledge for IMF victims countries.
I do accept that Keynesian concept will not work in 2020, it is an age old concept and it worked well during the great depression but not anymore.

I don't know what the attitude of the Indian police is on a day to day basis, but in the UK the police are asking for cooperation mainly. If they all started chasing people around with sticks I don't think their legitimacy would last too long.
If people violate the lock down, impose heavy fines and take legal actions and if they violate again they should impose jail terms and make sure they understand the gravity of the situation rather than beating people like animals.

Plus, imagine if their government gave money to each household. 
Printing more money can have other dimensions too rather than giving money to each household, the government will allow people to loan amounts from banks with much lower interest considering many business lost money during these period and to help them out the government will provide loans, relief fund does not mean printing more money and since the suggestion is given by a Nobel award winning economist i expect some logic in what he meant.
3195  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Compliance exchange or decentralized exchange, which one do you prefer? on: April 12, 2020, 03:03:28 PM
There are more and more centralized exchanges, but less and less trust. Which one do you prefer between regulated compliance exchanges and decentralized exchanges?
I would like to trade in a decentralized exchange but the problem we see is that the liquidity is not that great, if we have a good volume in decentralized exchanges then i am sure everyone would shift to those exchanges. When it comes to security i am yet to see a really good decentralized exchange rather than building that on top of ETH blockchain and i do not see those as completely decentralized.
3196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: IPL Mutual Pool Discussion. on: April 12, 2020, 08:10:49 AM
I have heard of Bet365 in my college days but never joined any sites as I believe gambling is illegal in India (not sure though). Only in 2017, I started gambling online.
There was no restriction nor a law regarding online gambling and it was my go to site and you can use your debit and credit card to load your neteller account during those period and then restrictions came from neteller as you cannot send money to gambling sites and hence you need to use another platform and the commissions and transaction charges became so huge that we had crypto based sites to wage rather than going through these hurdles.

Btw, our situation right now in a meme  Sad
Edit: I think I fixed it for you Royse. Hope it's readable now.
It is true, this is my home page now and to see the number of patients increasing on a daily basis just blows my mind.
3197  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why reward halving instead of doubling? on: April 11, 2020, 07:52:45 PM
What was Satoshi's reasoning behind halving the mining reward over time? Why did not instead choose to do it in reverse and double the reward at each "doubling" (up to 50 BTC and then 0 - same total mined reward but distributed in reverse order)?

It seems that increasing the mining reward over time would have made more sense for at least two reasons:
It makes zero sense, BTCitcoin have a limited supply and it is not like fiat where you can print unlimited amount whenever the government wants.The reason for the reduction in rewards is simply because BTCitcoin is a deflating asset.

1) It doesn't favor early adopters.
Whether you like it or not every market favors the early adopters and there is nothing you can do about that.

2) As mining difficulty rises, so does the cost of mining and therefore, the reward should be higher as well. Of course the rising price of BTC compensates for that but as we've seen recently, the price doesn't necessarily grow all the time.
BTCitcoin does not promise that the miners will be compensated all the time to maintain the network. The price will increase because of the number of coins mined will be halved and with the numbers of investors in the market and less amount of coins in circulation the price will increase gradually.
3198  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should I sell bitcoin now? on: April 11, 2020, 06:52:19 PM
Everyone is telling that bitcoin is going to 3K. Every news and notifications points that the trend is going towards 3K.
Bitmex CEO is twitting he believes bitcoin could go even as low as 2100, so would it be better to sell my bitcoin now and buy for 50% cheaper?
Seems like everybody are trying their best to decrease the price, it might be better to move with the herd?
You cannot listen to a third part and make decisions when it comes to decision making on investments, there is no point in panic selling because someone said so, if the market goes down then make sure you have the funds to invest during that period rather than selling off the coins, the only positive aspect you need to consider when taking these decisions is the expected long term valuation.

I'd definitely not be opposed to an honorary rank for deceased members, though bestowing one upon death would essentially be a judgement call about their popularity on the forum, and I'm not sure who'd make that call--I'm sure Zepher and Bruno would be worthy, but how about if some troll like cryptohunter was confirmed dead?  Know what I mean?  Seems like it could be a sticky situation.
The judgement call will be taken by DT 1 and DT 2 members and if that happens it will be a fair decision and there wont be any difference of opinion, in my opinion Hal, Zepher and Bruno should be given a honorary rank.

My rank suggestion is Eternal or Immortal. RIP
