If you never sell Bitcoin is the meaning of never using it and hodling eternally, it's as good as not having any. If you don't use Bitcoin (directly or indirectly) at any point to exchange it for goods and/or services, it's just some symbols on your display which barely give you anything. As for taxation, ranochigo rightly pointed out that it depends on the location. Some countries have capital gains tax on Bitcoin, others have property taxes or income taxes which are applicable. In my country, you can buy or sell without any taxation because Bitcoin is not regulated yet and the authorities show no interest in taxing it for now.

What do you mean by educated and uneducated here? Is it about subjective perception of one's familiarity with Bitcoin? Or is it about the level of education (unrelated to Bitcoin) that someone obtained? You're saying that the educated audience says it's a scam, which is why I'm interested to know who are these people and how educated (and in what) are they. Regarding #5, I think volatility can be troublesome to many people when they start learning about Bitcoin. Some see it as a feature, but for many it's more of a bug.
You can make the charts in Excel or whatever, and then make screenshots and upload them via Imgur or some other website as pictures, by the way.

I think that if we're talking about adoption of cryptos as money, tranthidung is right that instability can push towards adoption. However, if we're talking about crypto-related businesses, I believe they prefer operating in economically, socially and politically stable environments. After all, you don't want your offices to be robbed or your employees to be arrested for some political reasons. Regulations are also important because if they're harsh, it's not a welcoming environment for businesses. Heavy taxes, licenses and bureaucracy can draw them away.

Yes!!! I'm really happy that Ukraine reached the quarter-finals yesterday for the first time in history! Oneandpure, you were wrong to doubt the strength of our team in this championship. Ukrainian morale was very strong. Supporters on the stadium were loud (and honestly, I could barely hear those who came to support Sweden), and there were lots of people watching at their homes and in public places. Our president made a video in support of the team, and then called them before the game to wish them luck. Playing against England will be very difficult, of course, but the current result is great already. I'm also happy that I won my bet, although I regret a bit that the bet amount was tiny.

The problem is that often these texts can be very long, so it's hard to actually put yourself to reading all of it. But not reading at all is definitely too risky. I think that if a person is not willing to read all of it, the following things should be searched for and read: KYC policy, restricted countries, minimum/maximum deposit/withdrawal, rules (like no multi-accounting, perhaps no VPN and stuff like that). Also, if one's interested in bonuses, the wager requirements and other related conditions should be read.
You're right that this topic deserves attention. It seems to me that people often have negative experience because of being unfamiliar with the terms.

The account feels bought, given how there was zero activity for three years, and now there's a launch of a casino.
But anyway, you're not answering any questions yet, and aren't addressing the issues like random bits being not in English, the autobet and provably fair algorithm not working properly, and the impossibility to open a link in a new tab or a new window (when I try it, it closes immediately). Also, your FAQ is clearly not finished yet, as there are some headings with zero accompanying text... You should've mentioned it's a Beta-version, although I think it's not working well enough even for a beta launch yet...

I think that some miners will relocate, but there won't be a total ban and many will keep operating either covertly or openly in China anyway. As for exchanges, I think it's easier for them to relocate, but the current crackdown is related mainly to mining, so they probably don't feel the need to do so. I think China will remain sort of hostile but manageable and the conditions won't worsen significantly. I hope that businesses will move because this could be a boost to other economies, and China's currently dangerously strong economically, so any change of that is desirable. But I believe that businesses will largely stay anyway.

There are tons of altcoins with all kinds of purposes these days, and mainly they just copy something that was created a long time before them. So with that many projects, I really don't think we'll see anything better than what we already have. I think it's highly unlikely that a better anonymous coin will be created, unless something miraculous happens and a whole new approach to making it (or a huge improvement) is invented. That being said, it doesn't mean that Monero is going to rise. Just because it's a good project and there are no better alternatives, it doesn't mean there's enough demand for anonymous coins to make the price go up even more. Keep in mind that it already went from the initial $0.3 to the ATH of $540 and failed to reach a new ATH (like most good altcoins did) during the 2021 bull run.

Welcome to the forum. It's great that your website is provably fair and that you're willing to verify your bankroll via trusted forum members. The house edge also seems reasonable, and anonymity is indeed appreciated in the forum (although if you ask for KYC under some conditions, you should mention it in your original post). But op, you gotta be more responsive in this thread, answering questions and addressing concerns like the similarity to a different website. It seems that your website is more serious than most new casinos if you indeed have a license, provably fair games and the willingness to prove having money via trusted forum members, but it won't mean much if you're not inactive in this thread.

1. I think it's already here. Most top coins decreased in value over the last 7 days, and over the last month as well. However, I don't think it's due to manipulations. It's really hard to manipulate coins with big market capitalization and a lot of trading volume because you'll need tons of resources to make a difference. Unless, of course, you count news articles and tweets as kinds of manipulations.
2. I don't think anyone believes that the market overall is resistant to manipulations. There are tons of shitcoins which of course can easily be manipulated because of their low trading volumes. When it comes to Bitcoin, however, immense resources are required to make even a small short-term difference (if, again, we're not talking about the impact of information).

I've had a bit of experience with getting a token listed, and it's not as simple as it might seem. I'd say that getting it listed on a top exchange is very difficult, and you'd probably have to move up gradually, having it listed on only somewhat popular exchanges first. You'll have to provide a lot of info about the project and, from what I've seen, pay a significant amount of money. I'm talking about centralized exchanges here, but you should probably look into what tvplus006 mentioned about decentralized exchanges. If I had to list a coin these days, I'd start by looking at recently added coins on Coingecko and analyzing which exchanges these coins are being traded on often. The one I see come up often with small tokens is Uniswap, and they have info on listing a token there which you can look into. If you manage to get your coin listed or gather info about the process, I think it would be interesting to many people to see followups from you in this thread (or you can make a new one). It's useful information that might help others in the future. Good luck!

Crypto startups and Bitcoin are two very different things. So it might end up being an endorsement of scammers, a way to launder money or a way of focusing on everything but Bitcoin in hopes to make it weaker. They can focus on altcoins, on different blockchain use cases etc., so I think this news is not as good as Tesla investing in BTC used to be. It's vague and there is a good chance it's not going to help Bitcoin recover because it's not about seeing the potential of Bitcoin. Hopefully, it won't be bad for the market either, and it's nice that cryptos still attract institutional interest.

I'm curious to find out if the US manages to get away with all that extra dollar printing they did because of the pandemic. Since nothing like this was ever done before, nobody knows how this will turn out and how safe this move was. Dollar is not getting out of control for now, but the inflation rate is already above normal. What's sad is that if dollar goes down, it won't be bad merely for the US economy. Many countries largely rely on how their fiat measures up to dollar, so there will be chaos once the etalon is down. Moreover, China will definitely become the dominating world's economy in that case, meaning that it'll be able to get away with more human rights abuses and other things because the world will depend on China even more than today.
Unfortunately, crypots aren't strong enough to take over in that the USD devaluates at a high rate. The scalability and volatility issues would only worsen under such circumstances. So I hope the US takes the warning seriously.

Devaluation of a currency is supposedly good because it motivates to spend money, not hodl it. However, there's no conclusive evidence against a devaluating currency. Moreover, Japan, one of the biggest economies in the world, has an effectively stayed afloat with a devaluating currency. I think they see it as a bit of a problem as well, but it's still a pretty successful case. And there are lots of cases when inflation got wrong, and yet nobody abandons it as a central financial approach to a currency, so I'd say a deflating currency is an underresearched topic.

I think everyone suffered a lot from the pandemic, but poorer countries and smaller businesses were hit harder than others. The US printed tons of Fiat, and inflation is already a bit higher than expected if I'm not mistaken. As for Bitcoin, it recovered from the initial hit of March 2020, and I think it became largely independent from the pandemic, unlike the global economy. So the price can go up or down, based on other events and their media coverage, but it's impossible to predict where it'll go.

The problem with debates is that they're not decisive, and this isn't even going to be a proper debate. I'm sure that Jack will come prepared and will offer good points about Bitcoin. But if Musk wants to believe that Bitcoin is unsustainable, he'll keep believing it. I think he's going to talk to Jack because he enjoys attention, but I don't think he'll be convinced ultimately by Jack. If people have strong opinions, it's almost impossible to change them, especially by presenting facts and other relevant data. People  react better to appeals to common experience and values and slowly moving towards negotiations about differences.

Op, I think it depends on how petitions are treated in your country. In my country, it's possible to file a petition on official websites of the government, to the parliament or to the president. It's very important to file it there officially, and to file it to the relevant authority (because the government, the president and the parliament have different competences), and then there are 90 days to get 25 thousand signatures of my country's citizens. Then the petition receives an official response from the authority, and usually it at least leads to some legislative progress on the matter of the petition. I don't know how it works in Bangladesh, but if it's similar, then it's worth a shot. Good luck!

Bitcoin made me rethink what money is, and which role various institutions playin its distribution and regulation (and whether this role is justified). It also motivated me to get to know more about how fiat works as well (to see the differences between cryptos and fiat), how trading is done, what are stocks and many other things about economy which I didn't know and probably wouldn't have learned otherwise. Apart from that, I think I became more chill about money in general, seeing how volatile Bitcoin is. Nevertheless, I'm still waiting for the times when I can use Bitcoin freely to pay for any things that currently require fiat. I hope that we're still in the early days of adoption and many amazing things are ahead of us.
