Personally, I don't invest my funds into an unfamiliar project. It takes time to check every single aspect to ensure that the project offers a profitable deal. Additionally, I have my specific criteria in selecting a project to invest in. I carefully do background checking with the project's core objective, team, as well as their roadmap. Is it even connected with dogs? Or they just used it to sound catchy? For all that, I can't verify it, as their website is unsecured.

If you conduct a proper analysis and prove the credibility of the project, then you should consider it in investing. But if not, then you should seek for additional resources, excluding the white paper, as it can be deceptive. Don't base your investment decision on it, as there are diverse circumstances where a project imitate the white paper of another project.

Based on some topics regarding that exchange in Scam Accusations, I will suggest not to invest. But the decision is up to you, you may consider checking this review about that exchange.

It depends, since even some companies are registered they still manage to commit frauds. So, if you want to make a quick investment decision, then examine and measure the risk.

This thing is usually happening in different Defi projects and I know some of us are already familiar with this kind of scenario that's why we should be careful about picking a Defi project because by just a blink of seconds our funds will possibly gone. I agree with the other members who reply here which the hype of the Defi project is one of the things that brought a pump and dump scenario. However, today we will not only notice this kind of scenario because some of them also turn out of being scam projects like after receiving funds from the investors they will run and will delete all their contacts. The hype of Defi will not only bring us more money cause it will also bring big problems so, be careful about investing, and don't forget to do prior research.

We've been hearing several countries planning to take this kind of innovation and in my opinion, it might have an impact but don't expect that this will bring a huge influence on crypto space since, after all, it's a centralized digital currency, and it won't promote crypto. However, when people start to adapt to the digital currency, it can be a way for them to recognize crypto. And it can also help them to easily understand how digital currency and transaction work so when they get to know crypto, it will be easy for them to understand it as well.

It's undeniable that they can indeed earn more tax by regulating online gambling since online casinos have quite bigger profits. But the question is, will it really help to lessen COVID cases in Europe? Will they really see a change in their current situation because they will have more money to fight the pandemic?

As mentioned by the OP, there are benefits when they regulate online casinos, but obviously, gamblers won't like the idea of getting extra charge and having an issue with privacy.

The more bitcoin gets recognition, the more criminals will also use bitcoin for transactions in their illegal activities. Aside from the convenience, and that some criminals think they can hide and can't be traced with bitcoin, we just can't stop them from using it. It's the same with fiat, bitcoin has values so it will likely be used for illegal activities no matter what we do. But comparing it to the percentage of criminals using fiat in illegal activities, bitcoin is not that big.

We should bear in mind that every investment is associated with risk, therefore, learn to invest your funds with awareness and knowledge. Personally, I am willing to take risks, considering some altcoins have great potential. The risk of losing your funds depends on how you make choices, like choosing a coin to invest. But if follow the process of evaluating the details of a project, then you will see there are also good opportunities in an altcoin.

It is unsurprisingly to see people doubt the validity of this project, as they did not thoroughly think about the inferences of people. It is not funny and will never be, given the situation of people who are in misery due to the virus. It’s better if they analyze it, as it is a sensitive topic. In addition, the identity of their team is hidden, so people can’t determine if they are trusting their funds with trustworthy people. To make sure you protect yourself against scams, carry out proper research before investing.

This only applies to those who have self-discipline and those who can still manage to resist gambling temptation. But for those who have been experiencing excessive gambling, even if they will set different rules, it will be hard to follow it and they will just end up breaking their own rules. And even if we say that we are not an excessive gambler, sometimes it's also hard for us to stop. For me, one thing that we also need to keep in mind is our priorities, in that case, it will give us a reason to think and have a second thought about gambling more.

It's easy to say promises not to do something anymore because we often do that when we are in our extreme emotions like things did not work out well. But to be honest, if you have been gambling for quite some time now, it will be hard to just suddenly stop because you will keep on looking for it. One day, he might forget about this promise and play the slot machine again. I agree with you that it takes time to calm yourself and to prevent extreme emotions, we also need to control our greed when gambling.

In my opinion, it is inevitable to be nervous about sharing personal data, especially knowing that there are different cybercrimes in the account of KYC. You should check for what purpose they will use your data before allowing them to access it. KYC is not only about you share your information, it is also about opening some opportunities for people to defraud and steal from you. I can see that SwissBorg respect the decisions and the security of their users, so they allow them to request for the erasure of data. You can check it here.

I will go with Bitcoin and most of us here recommended it to hold for the year 2021. By the way, I have noticed today that bitcoin already touched the 13,000$ price in the market. Aside from bitcoin, I guess I will go with Ethereum and Binance. We have different preferences when it comes to holding but even with our different choices, we should always consider bitcoin as our priority when holding. Make sure OP, you will do good research before you buy coins for your holdings.

I think even if players are afraid of getting a virus, they have no choice but to take a risk than to starve to death since they also need income. Also, I think we are mostly just afraid at the beginning of this pandemic but now, we are slowly adapting and continue living with a new normal setup.

We can see sports events are now starting to reopen and players just need to be extra careful with their health and to prevent getting a virus especially if they are already scheduled to have a match.

Roulette is a type of game that mostly requires luck. As for strategies, you already mentioned searching on the internet and indeed, there's quite a lot of list of strategies you can find. However, if you are going to check these strategies, you will mostly see martingale being suggested but it's kinda hard to depend on it because we know that it does not work for everyone. I believe it's still better to find your own strategy than relying on the internet.

For me, it's still a good thing although it won't bring a huge impact on crypto since, after all, it's a centralized one that is controlled by the bank. But on the positive side, adopting digitally can help in teaching people about the digital currency which can also give them an idea about cryptocurrency. I mean, it teaches people how to make transactions using digital currency so once they get to know about crypto, it will be easy for them to understand it.

For me, doing something bad just to help others won't make it any good or better because you helped in the wrong way. Even if we say that those hackers are doing it to help charities, it's not an ideal way to help and it would be a dilemma for those charities to accept funds that were acquired in illegal activities. Charities will either turn a blind eye and just accept that bitcoin or report it to the authorities and if they do, would they benefit from it?

Things we never expect may happen within those 5 years so it's kinda hard but what I think would be the best to hold is Bitcoin or gold. We never know what will happen in USD within those 5 years. The same thing with stocks, it's hard to hold stock for that long since its value will depend on how the business works. On the other hand, bitcoin may be volatile but it has a good future ahead, while gold is good for the long term because it's stable and won't lose its value.

I think it's normal for us gamblers, we also experience such things when we keep saying to play more, trying to get back what we lost but end up losing even more. And I think it's fine to keep trying but when it exceeds your limit or funds, that becomes a problem since when we get used to doing this, it will make us addicted that we can't control our emotions anymore.

As a gambler, even if we badly want to recover our loss, we should also know our limitations and that the more we keep on trying to recover from losses, the more we lose. When I'm in this kind of situation, I always try to take a break so ease myself.

zasad@ Thank you for inviting me to answer your survey.

It's kinda hard to say that since the more crypto is receiving recognition and attention, there will always be new projects or coins that will emerge in the market. It's similar to businesses, if there is an in-demand product, businesses will continue to appear to provide those demand. Although we all know that not all coins get the same recognition, not all projects succeed, new coins will still be there. And the reason why they still keep emerging even if there are already thousands of other coins is that they try to provide something that those old coins don't have.
