There is a huge pressure for Ethan right now and that is not really a nice feeling, I mean surely he must feel honored by this pressure but he must feel the weight of it as well. Nobody really cared about yolodice closing in the sense that nobody really blamed him for anything, everyone accepted it and said "fair enough" so he didn't get any headache over it, so that is the good part, but what about the fact that he may not be interested in something new? That is why I believe it is quite difficult for him right now.

Everyone agreed that closing this could be a good idea because there is a problem right now, but the reality is that we are talking about Ethan starting something new and even better like it's given, maybe he doesn't want to? Maybe he just wants to relax and retire and wants to just kick it with freedom? We should not pressure him for doing something more.

They never even intended to actually solve the problems, they were trying to act innocent and maybe get rid of the feedbacks they have been receiving but it was never going to work.

I am sorry for your loss but if you ask me, they won't pay you unless you can threaten them in any way, with their reputation already burnt, I don't think there is anything left you can threaten them about to get your funds back. Most of the sites end up paying users when pressure is put and their reputation is under threat.

I do not want to sound controlling but the best you can do is, since you aren't into any signature campaign currently, put a warning about 1xbit scam as your signature and at least some users can read when they read your posts and get aware of the problems.

You can do so by going here and editing your signature: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile click "Forum Profile Information" on the left and you can then edit your signature.

So, the site has been hacked means that the user data is erased? It also means that the data of users like email, password, etc was also stolen. Yet another reason to never use Yobit again. I don't know if you can get help because yobot have stopped coming to bitcointalk, but if you want you can open a scam accusation against them here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

It is really unfortunate that they are giving that kind of an excuse because even if the site was hacked they should have players data because I often get email from yobit, obviously spams, which shows that they still have my email and if they have it, they should be able to help out user who needs their tokens.

All these kind of arguments don’t make sense to me anymore because I feel that these are things that we should allow to flow naturally. If you can make use of Bitcoin and you like it, that’s what you prefer then make use of it, and if banks are what works for you, go for it and if you like to make use of the both of them, then stick to that. Both of them are good, there are ways that Bitcoin can be better than banks and there are also ways that banks can as well be better than Bitcoin.

I have used banks for international transactions and I wouldn’t say that I’m going to make use of it again, because since Bitcoin and so many other payment methods came out , they are far much better than banks and charges less. Then as for Bitcoin , there are times that the fees can be high when you’re making a small amount transaction.

If there’s really going to be any social media that will based on blockchain I think it would be one where people will be having the complete freedom to say whatever they want to say and not get banned for it, and it’s going to be a type of social media that will be hundred percent free from regulation.

We have had so many problems with some social platforms, especially with them selling users information to their advertisers, I don’t think social platforms that will be based on blockchain will be having this kind of problems. I believe that there are so many things that can be achieved with this blockchain technology, it is just with time and people will start coming with new and better ideas that will fulfill the needs of the people around the world.

I define rich as a person who doesn't need to work for money anymore, doesn't mean that they do not make money, even the richest person in the world still keeps making money, hell that is one of the main problems in the world people who have enough to live forever still greedy for more, but that is not the point, in order to be rich you need to have enough money that if you do not make one more dollar ever.

The money you have will be enough for you, and would help you raise your kids, hopefully until they are capable of making their own money, you do not even have to guarantee their whole life to be considered rich by my standards, if you can raise them well without debt, and pay their college tuition and help them on their early career struggles, after they have a decent life you are done, no more extra money needed to spend on them, if you can that is great if not that is alright. That changes from nation to nation, in some nations 100k is enough for this, in some nations you need millions of dollars but it is always the same, the lack of need to work.

It's quite ironic that you are saying this when Bitcoin is going through its best phase ever. Your dividend? The price increasing every year is the dividend and whether you sell or not is up to you.

In fact, if you just buy Bitcoins every year and sell them at the end of every year, you will easily make more profit than you would make by purchasing land and doing anything with it.

If you require even more frequent profits then Bitcoin isn't for you and you would rather look towards trading altcoins and although much riskier, it gives you faster profits.

The odds were 56.32 for that dude, think about gambling on dice gaming and you wager on 56.32 odds that would make things difficult isn't it? I mean it is a technical thing that basically shows you how little the chances are, you could calculate it based on % as well but it is not always right, like under 2% chance to win, that would be quite low chance, not impossible of course, but it would be quite low chance.

Not only that but this dude played on very different games as well, which shows you that this guy knows what he is doing and that is why I think it is beyond special, a lot of people gamble on soccer and win these kinds of odds, and a lot of people wager and win that, some people like basketball, tennis is a special one, but it is very very rare that someone is experts in 4 sports enough to cover all of that and won this big at the end of the bet.

I understand that some people got in at the peak and they want to get out right now and they want to go back to profit I understand that, I have some money I have invested as well so I know the feeling as well, there is really nothing to worry about what is going on because I believe that bitcoin could be going down even more and it would definitely be something that would be risky for many people who need the money as well but if you are that much in need of money then you should not be going into bitcoin neither, you should only spend money you could end up spending or could afford to lose money otherwise there is really nothing else we could do about it.

That is why I think it is obvious that people should end up spending money we can afford and wait as much as we can until this situation is passed, if you can wait you could definitely make a profit but you should end up being patient about it.

If you are not good at researching and doing technical, fundamental and quantitative analysis of a project then the first thing you must do is stay away from all the ICOs at the very least. Most of them are scam and 10% that might be legit are not going to make it beyond the exchange listing.

The best advice I can give you is doing price trading. Basically buying at a lower price and selling at a higher price and since BTC is going to go higher in the long run, so at least you know if things go wrong you can at least rely on the long term value of BTC which is always going to rise.

Price trading works like this, you buy BTC at $49500 for example and sell at $50500 so you earn $1000 for each BTC traded. Sounds easy, but remember not to panic when market goes down.

It is obvious that City is playing on a whole new level right now but this is just getting ludacris, I mean wolves is not doing that awesome this year I accept that, they are not like last year, that is acceptable but the result is just insane, I mean City is good and all but they have been unbeaten for nearly 30 games now, I think this was game 27th or 28th, that is not normal, that is all league, fa cup, champions league everything combined.

We can clearly say that they will be the champions this year easily, I would say if there are any place in the entire world that still has outright premier league champions, I would say put all your money into City now, doesn't matter how much the odds are, because you are going to make that profit one way or another, it is nearly impossible for them to lose championship from this moment forward considering how much difference they created.

Honestly there is no point on firing any coach at this moment for Schalke, they are gone, they will not have any solution to this at all. They fired coaches, got players, did everything to  change things around and they failed it, so as you can see there isn't any return from this at all. They could have been doing better if they had the chance but by the looks of it they are not going to have any wins at all anytime soon.

They had 1 win and 6 ties in 23 games, that means they had 16 loss as well, so when a team is playing against schalke it is wise to wager on schalke to lose, doesn't matter who they are playing as well, if you lose that you can be sure that next time you can bet more and win because it is obvious that they can win or tie maybe once but not twice those are the odds, and in a miracle if they do that, you can always wager on the third game.

I like some of the old names you listed but candidly speaking I don't think there is much value in old coins because especially in the altcoin market, moving forward you have to pick new coins because they are solving some problems from the previous ones.

There are some old coins that are still strong like Ethereum and that is because there aren't many coins that can solve the small problems which the current Ethereum network has. Some analysts see DOT as a giant killer because they feel like DOT might solve a lot of existing problems on the ETH network, I am not sure if they are right but surely new coins are future and old coins slowly lose their grip in the market.

It has been termed pandemic for the reason that it was a never before and probably never again kind of problem and it took time for everyone to understand and react to the problem which actually made it even more deadly. The reset hasn't been done fully yet, maybe in some countries it is done but most of the countries are still facing tough financial times.

Don't think there will be another chaotic situation like this anytime soon and unless this virus was made in a lab as some claim, I don't think the virus is ever going to be as deadly again because the vaccine have been made and already working.

I believe there is going to be something much better in the future but they are sort of right, following usually means one thing is done and another thing happens right afterwards and I believe that didn't happen, JP Morgan didn't mean it like "nobody will invest into crypto" that is not really wise to expect, that wouldn't be possible, at the end of the day we are going to end up with a situation like there will be some sort of investments over long period of time but I think people didn't followed Tesla all that much, at least not the big companies.

If there was another news like Apple bought 1 billion dollars of bitcoin in a week or 10 days, and after that Google invests another 1 billion dollars to bitcoin and after a while facebook buys half a billion dollars into bitcoin and so forth, if that happened all in a month or two we could actually say they were wrong but now I don't think we can say they are wrong.

This is basically proof that freebitcoin did something right. First of all we can't stop talking about it because fun token is now part of freebitcoin and if it is part of it and we are on their topic that means we can talk about it.

However what I believe is the main problem and awesome thing is that there could be people who dislike this new feature or there could be some people who are in love with it, but in the end we are talking about it and that is how marketing is done, just get people to talk about you because the more people talk about it means the more people will come and that is the idea of marketing. So, basically we are in a situation where we could make a profit in the long run from these talks.

By the looks of it City decided not to lose anymore and for a while they have just came back with a win after a win after a win after a win and that is like insane right now, I can't believe how much they win without any break at all, like even a great team has a loss here and there, even if not a lot it would be a rare thing but it would be a thing nevertheless. I do not think that they will lose this one, I mean they will eventually lose but their loss will not be this one it will be something else because Wolves is not even remotely close to what City is.

The game of the week is Liverpool versus Chelsea, I say Liverpool will win and it is not going to be easy but it is going to be fun game to watch, normally two teams are not that close on paper and everyone expected Liverpool to fight for championship but the last weeks showed that these two could be quite close so it would be quite fun to watch.

First of all, your friend that mentioned electricity companies is totally wrong lol. Electricity companies doesn’t have anything to do with Bitcoin and the mining, they are just doing their work which is to provide electricity, and of course they will get more money to due to the level of energy consumption, but saying that they are part of it because that is totally dumb and not true. What we should be talking about is the market itself, there is no single beneficiary, it’s just we.

And secondly, your point that there are no new recruitment needed makes a lot of sense in convincing them, because we don’t new recruitment and I always tell people that Bitcoin is mainly for the purpose of transaction, it’s not a must that you will invest in it. I have friends who don’t invest in bitcoin, they only make use of it when there is a need for transactions, mostly international transactions that will cost them more in banks. So, this is not a pyramid, whether you invest it not, and whether it goes up or down, people will still transact with it.

Why wouldn't you trust a place that has been around for years, I am not talking about for a specific one, not blockchain.com not any other place, I do not care about the name, think of a made up one that doesn't exist right now, we start a new business next month, we are in 10% APY business, even 100% APY business, and we start to give people that thanks to our business model (whatever that is) and for 10 years we manage to do it without a problem, we keep doing that for as long as possible and people are very happy with us.

Would you still not trust it? It has been doing that 100% yearly return per year for 10 years now and not a single person accused them of scamming, and everybody would vouch for it, I am sure you would at least consider it? Of course this is just an example and there hasn't been any 10 year company in crypto but I just wanted to show I think it is about specifically one company and not all companies in general.

I first started with Coinbase and hey are really good and popular around my side. When I discovered this forum, the next thing Binance became the next trend. But I didn’t start making use of it immediately, because I already had one that I am making use of and it was working for me.

Just around middle of last year that I decided to check out Binance and I think its really good and I have been making use of it steady and for the fact that also opened a local branch in my country made it more interesting. These two exchanges has been the very choices for me and nothing else.
