Is it really possible to get back your money that was scammed? Pretty skedtchy in my opinion. You also should format your report based on the given format in the sticky topic to detail your encounter a bit better and to make the readers understand what is what and what they should avoid. There is no evidence that proves that they are scamming someone which makes your report not credible.

It favors the house pretty much, like any other games in casinos(except for blackjack) have a high house edge. Luck does play  a role, but that is given because any gambling requires some kind of luck.

If the trend of foreign companies switching their factories/production facilities from other countries that offer the same services as Chinese workers, it definitely can happen. I disagree when it comes to decline of Chinese products, yes the workforce will be hit but they have products that will surely not be affected by the downtrend in companies switching from other countries for production. They have the biggest tech companies in the world and agriculturally speaking, I think they will not lose.

That is my overall goal to be financially stable. I need to have a lot of investments in different assets because that is the most optimal way to make sure that a constant and decent cashflow keeps me afloat.

What is their modus operandi? I believe that your list is credible but you need to make sure that you detail how they operate. I do not know much how this works and hopefully if you can provide then you will not just help me but also other newbies who will see this post. Anyway good catch.

My statement was generalized, and I can sympathize with you because the corruption is prevalent here in my country too (Well, most third-world country are corrupt anyway). If the government is not corrupt then I think that imposing taxes on gambling online or physical is a good thing. The sad thing is no matter how much we disagree with the government in regards to taxes, they will still do any means necessary because they are the biggest corporations in the nation, veiled by the pretense of running the country.

That is what most apps here in my country tends to do. They even have referral system which is a euphemism for pyramid scheme. Yes you can earn a bit of cash but the time that is used to generate the amount is not worth wasting on it. I do not find the appeal of this money making apps and that is my opinion. If it works for you then good for you but always be careful.

Thank you for this advice, I am saving money so I can trade too. But isn't this advice  counters the advice of diversifying your portfolio so you can earn a profit when one coin dipped.

With the current climate of bitcoin when it comes to mass adoption, I will side with Fiat for now. Bitcoin prices has risen yes, but remember that this is not it's all time high. It is still volatile and in practicality terms, you will not use it that much. What I mean by that is that there are few businesses in my country that uses bitcoin as a purchasing agent. I am leaning more on its potential as an investment rather than as a mode of payment. The reason that I chose fiat is that it correlates its value with the growth of the country, and my country is in balance so purchasing power is a good thing for fiat.

Pretty solid advice in the quote above and I am backing it up with some tips for you and other newbies out there who will read this. When you are doing a freellancing online, always ask for a downpayment if possible, especially if the time you consume in that freelance work is not worth wasting. Many people will heckle you to put down a low price but that will be dangerous because you will end up burn out with not enough to continue freelancing, aim for the median price so a balance between customer satisfaction and your satisfaction will be achieved. Signature campaigns are a good alternative too, if you have the rank though.

That is what I am thinking of, there should be interest to keep this service afloat. The problem with that is they need to find the sweet spot of interest rate that is not painstaking to the lenders but still profitable for the lenders. One other problem is the KYC-lessness of this services, there will be people who will make a run for their money no matter how much is the collateral, how can they solve that issue.

Not disrespecting veteran members of the forum but I think that they are keeping this guy here so they can watch a trainwreck. OP has been posting topics that either can intrigue you if you can read between the lines of the incorrigible and grammatically unfathomable threads OP started or quote the words of someone who can understand OP's post and make your post there. Seriously, begging for merits is an indication of behavior that you are not dedicated to the forum.

With the current standing of Telegram and it seems they double down in not caring at all that they are a cesspool of scammers. Discord is not that saint but at the very least scams are not prevalent there. Discord is also a gaming chat room so they are a little more immerse than Telegram.

Their actions in regards to this is justifiable in my opinion. Tax is the lifeline of the government so it is reasonable that they want their piece of the pie. Contrary to popular belief, some laws from country are inspired by other country's law. If the country believes that it benefits more people when they pass the same law as that country then why not. The problem is that it gets muddled by the internal structure of a certain government by adding or removing some clauses.

Congrats on not falling for this scam. You are not newbie in a sense because you know what you are doing. To all newbies out there, this is an exemplary on what to do before doing any online transaction. Cheers! For the failed attempt to scam you.

I replied two times already about how I already knew of it already. The first two pages of thread already gave the clarification that I need. Why the fuck would I red tag you? Do I look like I want drama, dude chill. I thought this thread is dead because haven't seen it in a long time in the first page of the discussion. I am sorry if that sounded rude which it really is. I replied about it on the page 4 of this thread.

Why put up the issue of spamming when you aren't spamming in the first place? Chill dude.

To end this problem with you, I hereby declare you as the winner of our argument.

AFAIK, China has a bigger naval forces right now. I do not know if this is true but they seem to be arming themselves.
The problem with their answer is that they are stepping into territories that are exclusive to neighboring countries. Do you think that it is okay they should not answer for their crimes, what are their stance in the Uyghurs reeducation/concentration camps? Shouldn't they answer to that right?
Why would you complain if you do not care about the others that are oppressed just so they can have that lavish lifestyle. Years of propaganda in my opinion have an effect to their citizen. The problem that I see with their use of technology compared to other countries is that they try to make a data out of how you live your life, even the people who visit your house is recorded. Also, they do not complain because they know what happens to those people.

They believe that they can slip through the cracks when they are using bitcoin as a means of transfer for their illicit activities. What they do not know that bitcoin offers pseudo anonynimity, even if they know about they will still go for it because bitcoin can sort of cover their tracks. Plus if they deal the old fashioned way of cash then the chances of getting busted is high so they take the chance to just transfer the illicit funds through bitcoin.

That is a good thing that businesses are integrating bitcoin in their transaction/system. I learned something new about bitcoin yesterday. The reason that mass adoption is still not viable for bitcoin is because of volatility solely, if businesses are always updating their product prices to get a profit then they are doing things a little more complicated because it takes an additional work to constantly update the prices. Imagine inside stock trading floor where prices are fluctuating every second.

I feel bad for India having Bitcoin getting less likely be available for the public. Indian government is known to have a love-hate relationship with Bitcoin and this just serves as a nail in the coffin. It could have been the final nail if the attack was not thwarted.
