The federal reserve can raise short term interest rates and start selling bonds as much as they want, but they can only keep up this house of cards for so long. There will come a time where nothing they do, will be able to prevent the house of cards ..coming down hard on top of them.

The markets are bloated and the debt are increasing and the government are printing more and more fiat currencies to manipulate the economy, but that is just one huge smoke screen... (Tax payers will soon have to pick up the bill for the bailouts again)  

The problem with a scenario like this is.... people are not getting their regular income from their work, when there are a lockdown... so they should not spend money on gambling, if they are not getting their full salaries. A lot of companies are trying hard to survive and they are paying employees less to retain them... but they are making less profits, because business are not booming.  

Now people are diving into their savings to gamble, if they had or they are using their credit card to gamble and that is when things goes wrong very quickly.  

Well, there are a lot of money going into the new Slots, but we do not know if the money going into it... actually goes into all games provided by the service provider and then distributed to the games... or if it goes into specific Slots as people play them. 

You have to remember one thing... the goal of the challenge are there to get more people to play those Slots... so the same thing happens with people playing "new" Slots and more people playing old Slots because there are a challenge on them. (Both gets more attention and money being pushed into them) 

My advice to my kids would be to "stay kids as long as they can be.. kids" ..... Play games indoor and outdoors and also enjoy your fiends and your family.... because they will treasure those times when they grow older. The hamster wheel of 8 to 10 hours working for money and paying bills and home loans, will be a part of their life ....for the rest of their lives.

Do not jump into the stressful world of the "grownups" too quickly, because you have the rest of your life to do that. Enjoy the holidays... look after your health... and make friends for life. 

Most of the women and girls that are being trafficked for the sex trade are being drugged to get them to become dependent on the drugs that are forcefully given to them. It is not just about taxes ....but rather the dark side to the drug industry..that are wrong in so many ways.

I have had friends that stole from their mothers and family members.. just to get money for drugs... and I know of several house burglaries and car hijackings that was done by criminals to pay for their drug habits.

So hard drugs are linked to many gruesome crimes and that is why it should not be legalized. 

I think Bitcoin (Lightning Network) can make a huge impact on local (rural) communities, if the Internet infrastructure is there to support it. We have seen how M-PESA has been used successfully on mobile phones in Kenya in Africa in rural communities.

The same can be implemented from Apps and wallets on mobile phones with FREE Wifi hotspots in smaller villages, where small retailers do their business. This will give them the benefit of much lower fees and also instant transactions without intermediaries. 

I want to be controversial here for a moment and compare this with the Vax and Anti-Vax fiasco that are going on at this moment. People had to make a decision and they are too stubborn to admit that they were wrong. The Craig Wright (BSV) supporters dumped a lot of money into the Craig Wright (BSV) movement and they want to prove that they were right to make that decision... so they will never admit that they were wrong.

Craig Wright is a very good snake oil salesman, so I do not blame these people for falling for his lies. They say, "In the land of the blind, one eye is King." 

I am not big on Poker and I think the professional guys are killing the newbies ... so it is not worth it to put all that effort into it.. just to get thrashed by the professionals. I know a bit about certain Sports, so I place some odd bets on the Sports I know.. but I lose too much money on that, to make it fun.

I want to gamble for the entertainment value, so I prefer to use the less complicated option, which is Slots. Yes, I know these games are legally rigged to favor the house, so you rarely profit on them... but I write that off as entertainment. (Like you will do with the movie tickets you buy or the money you pay for other entertainment)  

#TheQuin / #Wetsuit - We have not seen any new "Original" games being added to Freebitco.in for a while now... has the game plan changed to Alt coins (FUN) now.... and not being a gambling site anymore?

I know you guys has made partnerships with other casinos to accept the FUN token for a wide range of Slots and games... but what about the people who wants to gamble at Freebitco.in to avoid all the KYC/AML nonsense from third parties and the region restrictions?)

Hope you will consider this request. 

You do not have to think twice about the decision of Banks to buy majority shares in Exchanges, because it is a power play. A majority share will give them control over those companies and they will simply transition those exchanges into Banks. (If you cannot beat them, you buy them..right)

We will see a lot more of these transactions in the future, because Banks will never miss an opportunity to make a profit and to exploit their clients with high fees. (Banks will simply use their money to avoid disruption) 

Why do you want to make a deal with the Twitch Streamer? They do not make deals... they made deals with casinos already and those deals are giving them money to gamble for free.    Are you the owner of a casino... or part of their marketing team?

In any way... it depends on what platform they are using.... because a lot of these gamblers are moving away from Twitch now, because Twitch have new "rules" that prohibit any links to gambling sites or the sharing of affiliate links. (They are not even allowed to say the domain name of the site)  

Hint : Look at Dlive.tv for some of the Streamers  

I believe in the principle of ...." Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.." So why should Elon Musk give people money to feed people, when he can create jobs in 3rd world countries and teach the people to make money for themselves?

The rich people should not give money away.... let that money work for them to be able to create more jobs ..to feed more people.  

Yes, #mk4 ..... They say, your coins are just as safe as your strength to tolerate torture and pain. 

I think most people will give up those private keys or passwords for their hardware wallet, after the first nail was ripped from their finger or one tooth pulled. I have had a loaded gun to my head before... so I can tell you that your whole world flash before your eyes, when you are on the other side of that barrel. 

DO NOT brag about your wealth on social media, even if it is not about Crypto currencies, because it will paint a target on your back. 

Here are the catch ==> "deposit a minimum of $25 in order to be able to access your daily treasure chest!"  ....and the fine print reads.... "A minimum 1 deposit of $25 will grant access to the daily gift for that day and for the following 6 consecutive days."

So in the 30 days... you have to basically deposit $25 per week for 4 weeks (=$100) to participate in this. In the other casinos where I gamble... entry into these types of promotions are free, so I will skip this. 

So if I understand this correctly... people will get paid to play games in "bitstar" tokens? I tried to Google it, but I only find a token that are linked to online gambling? https://portalcripto.com.br/en/icos/bitstars/

You guys are getting into a very tough scene with a lot of competition from rival NFT developers hunting for the gamer target market - https://www.playtoearn.online/ - Getting 100M gamers by 2023 is very optimistic. 

Seller regrets will always be an issue with Bitcoiners that sold at a lower price than what it will be in the future and that is not unique to Bitcoin. The same thing happens with a lot of other Commodities.

In 2007..the Gold price was $600/oz ..so if someone sold their Gold in 2008 for $1000/oz ..... they will have the same "Seller regrets" when the price went up to $1900/oz in 2011.  

Why should this be any different for Bitcoin sellers?   ( I bought several bitcoins at $300+ back in the day.. and sold it at $1000 shortly after that... thinking that it will never go higher than that.... I was so wrong, but just bought back some more and sold that later for 800% profits a few years after that.... not knowing that the price will go to $60 000+   )   I think I am lucky, because some people sold at a loss after the 80% drop in the price that lasted 3 years... 

Yea... I know, but they should not make it unachievable .. otherwise people will "label" it as being unachievable and it will actually become counter productive. (not achieving the goal to encourage people to try it)

The challenges that Eddie created a while back during his stream, was way too easy.. so people got it too quickly... but if you look at the 3 highest/luckiest wins for that specific Slot and you take 50% of that for the challenge... then people will try to achieve it. (Not when it is almost 90% of the highest that people hit on that Slot) 

I think the proof for me is not that he can sign an early address, but that he is trying so hard to be Satoshi Nakamoto.    Now, we all know Satoshi Nakamoto was clever enough to leave, after Gavin had a meeting with the 3l3tter agency... and we never heard from him again. Why would he suddenly want to reveal his true identity, if the same people will go after him again?

CW is a wannabe and his motives are as clear as glass.... "fame & fortune" ... and this is absolutely the opposite of what Satoshi wanted. (He stayed anonymous and he has not touched a single coins of the almost 1 Million coins he supposedly owns. 

People look closely .... This site was created to spread their referral codes for all of the casinos that are listed on their site. They do not care what sites are listed...as long as they can make money from it. (even scam sites)

I hope this is not going to be one of those sites that are going to spam this forum with multiple threads ...doing more or less the same thing. (spamming their website to get people to click on those links)  

The daily challenges that are being offered by Stake Support is nice... but I think the requirement to hit it, is almost unachievable. Take a look at this ==> https://prnt.sc/1y1fg75 - Reactoonz "All time Lucky wins" is 3068x and second place 2309x and 3rd place 2290x.... but the challenge is set at 2000x .....which is actually almost as close as the 3rd highest win on that Slot. ( https://prnt.sc/1y1g6h3 )

You will have to be VERY lucky to win one of these challenges... because some of these games have been around for a long time and those wins has been standing for months. Can we not make those challenges a little bit easier? (even if they have to drop the prize a little bit)
