This is true.

Upon reading the news, the FCA of UK has released certain set of rules in which Binance has not yet complied with. Unfortunately, the government also wants control to every transaction that comes within the ambit of their jurisdiction. Anything that is decentralized is a red flag for them since it allows some circumvention to their authority.

This is one of the problems that cryptocurrencies, in general, are facing. The decentralization, even if the idea is very promising, is one of those innovation that the government cannot just accept without consequences.

A random accusation without substantiating any proof must be taken lightly like a drop in the ocean. Many would attempt to destroy the reputation of a gambling website but their long standing and history would prove otherwise.

Unfortunately, with the existence of lots of fake reviews, there are gambling websites that contain positive reviews but mostly from paid users. One of the strongest evidence of genuineness is not the reviews per se, but the time that they are operating in the online-gambling platform.

Earned merit in the last 120 days: 45

Back when I first joined this forum in 2017, the value of 1 BTC was around $40-$50,000. Unfortunately, I sold most of my BTCs back then as my mind was driven into a short-term goal. Fast forward to 2021, its value reached an all time high of around $60,000. If I hadn't sold my BTCs back then, I would've made so much today that would alleviate my expenses.

The key here will always be your goal in your investments. If you truly believe that the price will increase in the following years, then follow what your gut tells you. At the end of the day, you will be the one who's going to decide on whether to purchase/sell your BTCs.

At this point, I consider it as both a blessing and a privilege that we get to witness another Pacquiao fight as we all know that he is already aging. Regardless on who Pacquiao will fight this year, I'm all up for it!

I read about the article about on the breach of contract and the camp of Pacquiao will definitely fix this conondrum. I think I also remembered that Pacquiao mentioned about fighting 'real boxers' instead of 'non-boxers' so I think he won't actually engage into exhibition fights in the future.

I highly suggest that you ignore his reply as it does not make any sense at all.

What you suggested may sound good on paper, but in reality, it kinda defeats the purpose of the merit system. As what many have already mentioned, the purpose of merits is to reward users who contribute quality posts in the forum. For every two (2) merits that you earn, you are rewarded with one (1) sendable merit that allows you to merit another post in which you find valuable. The reason for this is clear and obvious- which is to prevent abuse.

To solve your problem, you can always save the post in which you find valuable, then merit it later on once you receive one.

This question has been raised before and the answer stays the same: it's good as dead assuming that you kept your private keys to yourself.

Our BTCs are stored in our wallets that are protected with our respective private keys. In the unfortunate event that you die, no one will be able to access your wallet without which knowing the private keys; that is why it is somehow advisable to create a safe-lock containing all of your essential items/documents for your heirs to manage.

While I do agree with the points that you raised, I think having a gambling license makes the website legit as they have an established license to operate.

Assuming that you are a newbie hoping to gamble some crypto/money, then you stumble upon two gambling websites where one has a license and the other has none, chances are that the person would choose the former.

While at paper it may seem nothing, but the confidence and trust that it provides to new users can be quite reassuring. But like what you have mentioned, the safest bet would probably to gamble on online gambling websites that have been around for a couple/several years already as they have established their presence in the industry.

To be honest, regardless if he reads the answers or not, the good thing is that this became a discussion for new members also that are browsing this topic. They might not comment or reply in this thread, but at least, the general answers have been posted in the first page of this thread.

Treat this thread as a beginner's guide to the forum, in general. Even as a hero member, there are some rules that I am not even familiar about; that is why visiting threads like these keeps me refreshed from all the general and forum rules.

Just to answer some of your questions, printing money would result to hyperinflation. This would render the value of the currency almost as worthless due to the supply of money in circulation while having little demand. Like what happened to Zimbabwe, their currencies are denominated at 'one hundred trillion dollars' but its value is relatively low due to its ongoing over supply in the market.

The value of cryptocurrencies depend on how much money people are willing to pay for it. Although it may sound easier than it looks, the potential of cryptocurrencies as the future of transactions is starting. People are taking into consideration the value of the blockchain technology and its modern usage in shaping the future of all the transactions made.

Ohh nice catch, @Coolcryptovator.

I visited the the thread link and that guy just casually slipped in this website in his post in a very casual manner. Good thing that most member noticed it right away that this guy is attempting to promote a ponzi-scheme. Anything that offers daily returns with a minimum required deposit is indicative that they are a ponzi-scheme. I mean, no business model can handle such returns in a long-term basis.

I will tag the user and keep up the good work!

I think most gamblers will try to defend/rationalize their addiction by saying that it purely gives them entertainment. I mean, it is relatively hard to argue with someone who is suffering from addiction, especially if they do not know that they are the ones experiencing it.

This is primarily the reason on why having a good support system can really tell you if you are a gambling addict or not. People around you would start to notice and they would do anything in their power to fix the situation. While I also understand that change must really comes within, but having to know that you have someone or somebody that probably cares for you would most likely help in the process.

To be honest, as much as I admire the honesty admitted, the project still fails to give any assurance to any of the investors. Although investing in general do involve some risk, the business framework of this project shouts really as a scam.

There is no guarantee that any of the promised rates would come into fruition. Even if they do mention their so-called 'secret', I doubt that it will affect the general consensus of this project tagged as a scam.

My worst mistake so far was selling almost all of my coins whenever I receive them from my past campaign signatures.

I remember back in 2017, I was just a young person who was hoping to earn money online. As someone also who grew up in a household consisting of a single dad and 3 brothers, I reluctantly withdrew and cashed-out almost all of my BTCs whenever I receive them as payment from participating into campaign signatures (1 BTC = $40-50k).

Looking back, if I had not touched my BTCs back then, i would have accumulated around $20k BTCs right now which would significantly help my dad into his expenses.

Meh, there are lots of investment platforms that offer the same rates with their outrageous interest rates in hopes of attracting people in the project. Once you invested into them, they will slowly run away and the proceeds that you should be receiving would be in an endless loop of errors and bugs.

Ponzi-schemes are so rampant nowadays that they try to conceal themselves as a legitimate/genuine business investment. They may present themselves with attractive rates and promising business framework but almost all of their end-goal is to profit then to run away.

To be safe, please try to avoid these businesses that offer daily rates that are so good to be true.

You know, it is very hard to predict what is going on inside the minds of these people.

Just to give you an example, there are profitable and well-reputated members here in the forum and it took them years to build up such reputation. They received lots of positive trust from the members here and they gained mostly the trust of the members here. Unfortunately, some got involved in a loaning scam where they defaulted as they never went back again here in the forum.

Imagine, building up your reputation just to destroy it in seconds. The reason might be obvious: it's all because of deception for money. But, what they failed to realize is that what they did only satisfies their short-term needs.

I remember when I first joined this forum, my mindset was just to earn money. As time passed by, I began to appreciate cryptocurrencies more and my focus shifted on learning new things about the crypto-space. I started attending conferences in my country and learning basic trading. I also started reading into the ICOs of altcoins thinking on what coin would be profitable.

The key here will always be your goal. The more you think about pursuing such goal, the more that you would be passionate about learning new things that is relevant to it.

I grew up watching boxing matches due to the influence of my father as he is a die-hard boxing fan. Every fight, the family would gather and treat it as an occasion where our relatives would visit our houses and eat/drink while watching these matches.

To see that most boxing fights nowadays are between crossover fights from UFC fighters kinda hurts my soul. The spirit of competitiveness is just not there. The hunger of dominating your opponent and watching them fight to death (with actual tactics and techniques) are becoming obsolete due to the fact that most boxers tend to focus more on the cash prize than the actual title.

This type of scam was famous back then and lots of people (even veterans) fell to this trap of requiring you to deposit in order to claim your so-called 'free' BTCs.

One thing I learned throughout the years is that, there is nothing free in this world. Everything has their own benefit and repercussions as there is no absolute 'free' thing that you can gain. If you really want to try it out, then follow the suggestion posted by jackg and create a new account for safety purposes.

I think there is no absolute formula of getting rich without risking their resources. The difference between risking your money if you are relatively 'poor'  compared if you are rich is that, the latter has the confidence and the resource of having to invest. Meanwhile, relatively 'poor' people are risking almost everything that they have in hopes of getting rich in the future.

Everything boils down to the risks involved if a person really wants to be rich. The more money you risk, the higher the chances that the returns will be great. But in the event that you do lose your money, you are back to square one on how to produce such again.
