I think you have mistakenly posted your comment two times, I suggest you to delete the second one as it could cause troubles for you because when your campaign manager finds it or someone reports it then you may face issues.

Bitcoin has dumped to $63k values and now it's a major dump before halving event. Let's see how low it will go before halving and after halving how high it may reach. I believe it could dump even more because the huge investors want to dump the price of Bitcoin so they can accumulate more of it from the weak hands.

Yes, I also answer such questions because it's always a good thing to share your opinion/experience with the ones who haven't done something like that. I have personally never did such type of betting and I won't do it either in future but those who are going to do it should understand that it could be either fun or it could affect someone's friendship.

I have personally used escrow services a few times, but I still agree that most people don't really care about escrow services and that's why they get scammed by such scammers. I have never dealt with the people who were suspicious to me, like the one OP mentioned in his thread. The ones who sell accounts of the forums are most of the times scammers, and that's why I try my best to avoid such scammers.

Bitcoin is Bitcoin, the other coins are most like shit ones. If you have still bought some reputed altcoins then you may got some profits or at least you should be able to recover your money, but you have put your money in a wrong altcoin and now all you can do is to wait to see what will happen during the intensity of this bull run.

I won't recommend POLITICS AND SOCIETY to beginners especially when they want to learn about Bitcoin because that board is full of not so useful stuff and beginners won't be able to learn a lot by reading threads on that board or making threads at that board.

In my eyes the best boards for beginners should be Bitcoin discussion, Beginners & Help, and Speculation. Those boards are mostly related to Bitcoin and the thread at those boards can be very valuable for the beginners.

You have done a good analysis and that's truly appreciatable. I believe we may see such dips before halving and maybe during halving event, but after that we may see another rally that may take Bitcoin's price to $80k or even more.

I know it's too early to speculate that where Bitcoin's price will move after halving but I'm pretty sure it will move towards up side because it's the bull run. I believe Bitcoin could cross $100k in this bull run and it may even cross $120k, but if your prediction of $170k becomes a reality then I'll be very happy.

White paper of Bitcoin was written to introduce this p2p payment system and that's why the halving was not mentioned in it. OP, if you're part of Bitcoin community then you might know that Bitcoin has gone through some changes overtime like introduction of Segwit addresses in 2017 to the source code. Satoshi Nakamoto hasn't introduced that address but it was introduced by other developers and Bitcoin community supported it.

Similarly the halving event was not mentioned in Bitcoin whitepaper but it was already part of Bitcoin source coin from the start and overtime people learnt about it and community supported it. It's the halving event that has allowed Bitcoin to gain value overtime and I don't think anything is wrong in not mentioning it in the white paper. I think it wasn't even needed to mention it in white paper and that's why Satoshi avoided mentioning it.

Bitcoin and gold are more likely purchased as assets then money, only fiat could be called money and is a good way to exchange goods. In ancient times Gold, Silvers and other precious metal were used for trading of goods but now people purchase them and hold them as assets rather than something that could be used to trade for goods.

Bitcoin was developed as a p2p electronic cash system that people can use to trade goods against it but it was engineered in a way that it slowly started getting scarce with just 21 million total supply with no printing/minting mechanism. Because of that nature of Bitcoin, investors got interested in it and hold it so it can grow in value. Now a days it's more likely used as an asset then as a p2p payment system.

Only fiat remains that could be used for trading of goods but as we all know that fiat isn't a full-proof system either because it's in control of governments and banks that could literally prints so many of it without any hesitation and that leads to drop of value overtime. However, fiat is still the easiest way to trade goods, however one day it might also get replaced by CBDCs or something similar.

I feel bad for you OP but you should be careful next time. As yahoo62278 has suggested that you could have use an escrow that would save you from being scammed.

I believe escrow services of the reputed members of the forum is necessary and anyone who doesn't escrow, always risk their money.

You're not the only one who got scammed by such scammers. Anyone who isn't aware about such hacks often get scammed by such scammers.

I have never used an Illegal sportsbook so I don't have much information about those but as far as I can understand then using of anything that's illegal should be avoided. If I understand it better then illegal sportsbooks are maintained by incompetent, corrupt, and fraud people who can't be trusted.

They can run away with ones money and no one will be able to take action against them. That's why I think it's much better to avoid those illegal sportsbook platforms and go with the ones that are provided by trusted sportsbook providers.

I think I have seen a similar nature thread a few weeks ago and now seeing it once again. I have never made such bets with my friends personally but it could be a quite fun way for many people. Especially for the ones who are students without job or earning. The winner can enjoy the food/drinks/other items which loser gives him as a treat.

Yes, for few people gambling is actually a type of hobby, but a hobby might not cause addiction while gambling could be highly addictive if someone spends more time gambling. If someone spends sometime with gambling and enjoy that time then it could be a good hobby. One should never consider gambling as a way to make money then it could be a good hobby to spend some fun time.

These are actually some good crypto investment opportunities that allow one to earn passive income. I believe out of those Jambler and Binance are the best ones.

I have been using Binance personally and I can say that it's a quite good exchange for the ones who want to earn passive income.

I think the best level of passive income may come when sometimes stake's the coins in their own personal wallets instead of custodial wallets.

It's not a good strategy at all because with this strategy most gamblers will end up losing everything. It can be a good strategy for lucky gamblers but the ones who aren't lucky may not get good results by following this strategy.

It seems like a good idea to me, and I believe it's something unique for the slot players. It's the only platform that randomly picks a game from various providers and that's something which some players love to have. I hope you'll make this platform better overtime.

They haven't sent the money of the victims but always came with promises that they will send all the money of the victims who have deposited on their platform. Such a mess they have done to the gambling community, and if they keep making such promises while taking no serious action then I doubt that they will never be able to make a comeback.

I have never achieved anything that I could be proud off from gambling. I only consider gambling a fun activity and all I achieved from gambling is the entertainment only. I'm not someone with a very good luck especially when it comes to gambling but I really enjoy the gambling session and that's more than enough for me.

Great service 1miau! It's great to see that you're offering such a great service for free. BBCode is complex for many people but you're making it easy for them. Thanks for offering such an amazing service, I hope the ones who need this service will really appreciate your generosity. 

If I'm not wrong then you're trying to say the more you gamble the more losses you have. I think I agree with you in that because I also used to face more losses when I tried placing many bets per day in initial days of my gambling.
 
I think once again I agree with you. When I reduced the number of bets that a place, I noticed some wins instead of losses. I used to bet on casino games in beginning but later found that my luck doesn't favors me in casino games and that's why I started sports-betting, but even with sports-betting, I place less than 1-2 bets per week, sometimes less than 1-2 bets per month and so far results have been positive for me.

Nope, casinos aren't wired that way, in fact in any type gaming the more one gets into it the worse they get in that one. I know there are some skill base games that don't fall into category of the games that I tried to mention but all of the luck type of games even the free ones work similarly. Even trading works in that way, the more trades a trader does per day, the more losses they can face.

Yes, I think you're very right, the players who have millions to spend per night on gambling would enjoy some beautiful vacations to most luxurious resorts of the worlds where casinos are present. If I'm not wrong, such gamblers enjoy to show others that what they got, and how fearlessly they could burn huge amounts without any worries.

I also agree that most gamblers who place bets on online casinos are either the ones dependent on their monthly salaries or they might have very few bucks that they could use to place some bets. Online casinos often get good amounts when greedy people with some good bankroll starts playing their games aggressively.

The greedy fellows or sometimes addicts don't care if they lose or not. When they lose they follow Martingale strategy and instead of recovering the losses or making any profits, they tend to lose even more and get their bankroll emptied by following that strategy.
