I don't quite understand you. Are you trying to go back to the past? Scaling up precious metals to be used as day to day currencies would happen if there was a need and a market for it, but the places at war where the internet sometimes doesn't work, still use fiat currency, of bills and coins with which you can pay for your purchases.

I don't see a future scenario where gold and silver will have to be used for small payments, as there are better alternatives.

I think you got confused here. Tellek Garing was talking about feedback on results/experience with the betting system, not feedback regarding the forum trust system.

Anyway, what a newbie can comment on his experience with the betting system is not going to be of much value either.

As for what you comment, I am in DT and I could tag the OP if I had clear evidence that he was trying to scam people but I can't tell if that is it or he is genuinely offering a system that he thinks works.

In my case I have two reasons why I don't try his alleged system. The first is that the results he has achieved in the short term may be due to luck or positive variance and the second is that if I had a system that I was confident of with that ROI, the only thing I would do would be to invest and reinvest all my available capital to earn more. I would not be trying to sell the system to others.

You won't see any of the more experienced forum members testing the system because we have seen many of these offers over time and they end up in one of two ways: either with people getting scammed or with the OP disappearing when a losing streak comes along that messes up the results he promises.

No, it is not. At least for those of us who have been following what Saylor has been doing since it started buying.

What he does is something similar to what DCA does and buys, say $50 every week. What happens is that he does it in a sophisticated way, taking on debt to do it, keeping a relatively low debt to equity ratio. Watching a couple of videos of him makes it clear.

They have already explained that the easiest way is to play their faucet. You can play once every hour. Start with that. You don't need more to test the site. You get free satoshis, if you are lucky you can get up to $200 in satoshis in one play, and what you get you can use to test the other parts of the site.

You don't need any more theoretical explanations, what you need is to try the site.

I am not entirely sure about the unhandled reports either, but I would say that it is due to:

1) The moderators don't see enough reason to act on the report or mark it as bad.
2) Maybe for lack of time or some other reason they remain unhandled. Although I thik of this second option as less likely.

But I do not agree with what you have said that I have put in bold. If moderators thought that those reports should not have been made, they would have marked them as bad. In any case, I suppose hilarious or some other moderator will clarify this.

In my opinion you and all those who have commented before me have left out the most important point: the absolute loss of privacy.

CBDCs emerge not only as an alternative to Bitcoin and crypto, but as an improved version of cash (supposedly). The problem is that with CBDCs governments and central banks are going to know exactly what you spend where your money, and the exact time to spend it.

Cash, as bad as it is in terms of its devaluation, gives you privacy. With some exceptions, like when you buy expensive things that have to be reported, like a second hand car for example. But if you go to the supermarket, the store, the pharmacy etc, and you pay in cash there is no record linking you to that purchase, whereas with CBDCs they are going to know everything.

I'd also say that as for sports games, with skills, study and a good bankroll management you can beat the HE and be a long term winner. Very few succeed, but it is possible. On the other hand with casino games it is not possible to beat the HE in the long term. You can make money in certain sessions, as well as entertained, but the long term is inexorable EV- for the casino games player.

Yes, the problem with gambling is that many times people get carried away by emotions. They know they have to stop at a given moment but the desire to recover their losses gets the better of them and they end up losing more than they should. Although I can also tell you that sometimes winning a big jackpot can also get you hooked and the following sessions you end up betting more than you should because you are looking to repeat that thrilling experience of hitting the jackpot.

That's why you have to stay as rational as possible and above all have a bankroll and make a good bankroll management.

Writing style doesn't have much to do with forum reputation, but I think you were actually referring to what this fellow says:


I believe that neither one thing nor the other. When we write we have to take care of the style and try to express ourselves as well as possible, always being aware that we are in a forum and that it is not necessary the same formality as for example in a university environment.

On the other hand, OP, it is not very coherent to give people advice to rank up having only 16 merits for 64 activity, people could make easy jokes with that.

OP, this is the best advice you've ever been given. It is good to come to the forum to gather opinions and see if there are people who have been in a similar situation to yours, but at the end of the day, I have seen several threads of this style, and in the end it is best to consult with a lawyer who is a specialist in crypto taxation. With the money you have withdrawn, you have enough pay him for a consultation or even have him prepare your tax return for you. Think of the money you pay him as an investment.

From what you say, I am surprised that children can gamble with their cell phones. Porn is very easy to access but to play in fiat casinos they have to go through an age verification process to prove they are of age. The only exception I can think of to this is if they are playing in crypto houses that do not require KYC. But for that they should have bought crypto, and being children I don't think they have a lot of money or have bought in DEX, because in the CEX they are not required to have KYC. 

So I don't really get your story, unless you give more details. But if the moral is that it is better not to expose children to gambling, I agree.

Thank you for accepting me.

As you have quoted both of us accepted, I understand that you are referring to Wind_ FURY regarding the signature and avatar, because I am already wearing them.

Best, Poker Player.

I at first replied in some of his threads, but since I realized he was a bad troll, I put him on ignore. He must not have much life. If he at least got paid for writing that crap, I could understand it. It would still be garbage but I can understand someone writing that for money.

I can imagine him with a lot of free time and few friends, kind of a NEET who writes from his mum's basement while eating doritos.

This is too complicated. If we want to get cash without trigger a capital gains tax we have a much simpler option which is to borrow against our Bitcoin. There are several entities that offer this type of loans and it is a system that has been popularized by Saylor and others, explaining how the rich never sell their prime assets and what they do is borrow against them, and as the price of the asset rises, refinance.

I doubt you will find a buyer for your house for the reasons you have been told and because the vast majority of the forum is accumulating Bitcoin, they can spend small amounts but buying a house in a lot of Bitcoin.

On the other hand. why don't you sell the house in your local currency and then buy Bitcoin?

If you want to sell directly in Bitcoin for privacy or not declare it I doubt you are going to achieve it, because the buyer will want all the legal papers.

Well, I have to tell you that although you read it, you didn't seem to pay much attention to the following:


I put it in bold for you.

I wasn't going to say anything to you but you already said something similar in the past:


When it says "at least" two or three weeks, it obviously means that the minimum will be two weeks but the maximum is not defined. It could have been months or years without stopping.

I don't know much about the history of signature campaigns in the forum but I imagine that none of them start a campaign saying that they will last for years.

The normal thing is to try a few weeks/months and if the businessman sees a return on their investment in advertising, it is normal to continue paying the signature campaign.

Hi icopress, thanks for everything and let's hope the campaign continues.

The only doubt I have is whether to remove the signature, as I don't mind wearing it this week but I also don't want the owner of [banned mixer] to think that he gets the same people to the site if he doesn't pay for advertising.

On the other hand, thank you for the bonus I want to specify and correct me if I am wrong, it will only be a bonus if the campaign stops definitively. If we continue next week, they will be deducted from the future work, and then it will not have been a bonus, but I prefer this second option, lol.

Whatever happens, thank you very much to icopress.

Just to clarify that of course if we take that sentence isolated from the context it would not be a good reason to include anyone.

What I meant to say is that what motivated me to look at his trust lists and feedbacks is to see that he had included me.

I do not trust her as a representative of the established power and the fiat system of infinite debt, regardless of the claims she may make about Bitcoin.

In this case, like others we have seen, it is one more of "if you can't beat them join them". The only thing they are trying to do from the public authorities is to tolerate Bitcoin but trying to control it as much as possible with KYC/AML regulations and the collaboration of centralized exchanges.
