Guess you're suggesting that Gold is as useful as cryptocurrency.
Well, seems it is mostly used for making complex things/technologies... And it's quite scarce. You wouldn't want to waste something that is that scarce & valuable.
I guess it can be considered a very good store of value, and could be useful as currency. Though it could only be very useful in a world with no choas and scarcity of basic things.
There are probably other more useful purposes of gold we don't know much about. That could add to its value/price due mainly to scarcity and its other valuable features .

I think it's better to have things that can actually keep you alive in time of scarcity and choas. Those things must be easy to move around.
Some of the basic things I would invest in: nutrient-rich foods with long-shelf life, small water filters, lots of do-it-yourself ebooks/audios/videos(and other ebooks, audio & videos), lighters, small solar panels for charging phones (and laptop), etc

Blocknet is quite interesting but seems a bit complicated to use or learn. This is aspect discouraged me from learning more about the project. I put people who are not too technical in my shoes before considering a cryptocurrency project. I think the complexity could scare off regular people.
Maybe if I have alot of time I will try to understand it better and see if there are ways it can easily be understood by others. Or maybe you could make things more easy.

Change supply just like that?
I guess you'd need the consent of all stakeholders, both small and big to do this.
If changing things on Bitcoin is that easy, Bitcoin would lose one of its most cherished values.
All stakeholders should determine major changes, and the purposes for the changes have to be well explained to them.
I think there should be long discussion between the majority and those elected to represent Bitcoin interest and it's principles. If these representatives are discovered to be going against the laid down rule, they are quickly remove by all stakeholders.
By the way, small group representing Bitcoin without the input of majority, is quite risky. They can easily be influenced.

Any type of addiction may or may not be gambling, because all addicts can do something horrible to the extent that it costs life and others. I'm gambling but I've made sure I'm gambling moderately because I don't want to be so addicted to gambling and I haven't done anything as dumb as what OP said. Gambling should only be treated as another way to have fun and enjoy to avoid serious addiction. Because in a long term you can never make a living.
That is right. Once we become addicted, we will hard to leave gambling because our mind will always think about gambling, and we will play even if we only have little money. Addicted to gambling can make us borrow some money from other people because we can feel that our luck comes, and that makes us play every time. And in the long term, we will not have a chance to get out of gambling, we will want to play more and more, and even if we win, we want to play again because sometimes winning is not stop us from playing gambling. Addiction to things that are unprofitable is actually not a good thing. People should rather choose to be "addicted" to things without "side effects". Do such things even exist in our world? Well, I know one thing that has no side effects if done in excess: serving the CREATOR. So, we should be more engaged in things that have lesser/no side effects.. and engage less in things with more side effects. |

so are you saying that most of the players of all these crypto gambling websites come from poor neighborhoods? i believe otherwise. for online gambling community, i think it is more on the middle class status.
but anyway, to get back on topic. many users have pretty sum up what matters most with regard to online casinos - user experience, no kyc, fast support...and authentic provable fairness!
Yes,,, some people do not say things that make sense to be honest. Poor neighborhoods do not gamble on crypto, how would they even get crypto in the first place? Crypto is almost for sure middle class, and even upper middle class. Not talking about the beggars who come into chatrooms hoping for rain. Those are totally not gamblers. By the way,,, provable fairness I do not think people truly care about. Hardly anyone verifies;) Think I have seen posts on tools used for provable fair verifications. I assume the good ones could be a bit reliable. I've also seen list of websites recommended here as being provable fair. I guess people could pick from them and verify themselves, use the provable fair tools or ask members here |

I would never pursue a career of successful gambler because I'm trying to eliminate uncertainty, as much as possible, from my life, and there is a lot of uncertainty in gambling. If you have wife and kids, you are no longer risking by yourself alone, but you are putting all of them at risk. A family man just can't rely on something with so much chaos in it as gambling.
That's pretty safe, but if you have the skills, aren't you gonna invest on it? well, I get your point, not every gambler are willing to take that journey due to its risk level and even if we really tried our best, there's no guarantee that we will be successful in the end. I don't know, maybe it's just me, until now, I am still looking for ways to improve my skills and to be consistent as it has been a dream of mine to make big money in gambling, which until now I can't still find a clear path to walk. Gamble according to online dictionary: 1. play games of chance for money; bet.
2. take risky action in the hope of a desired result. The first one do not properly define gamble. I prefer the second one. People do not realize how often they gamble in life. We take risk always for desired result. But we have to work harder and be well prepared to lessen the risk. I believe the most skillfull/knowledgeable ones could earn a living from what the less-skillful or less knowledgeable termed gambling or random. I prefer safe games though. Better to gamble on things that earn you a living, in my opinion. Example, you own a successful farm and occasionally gamble on weather/rainfall or bet on competitive online farming(stimulated farming) games |

Am more interested in the principles behind cryptocurrency, otherwise I wouldn't be here to be honest. There lots of similar opportunities outside of crypto, but without the principles/ideologies of crypto. The users of this things are at the mercy of centralized lawlessness. I choose crypto instead even though I know I could be lucky at the other side aswell.

I am actually a bit surprised whenever I see many popular crypto personalities talking about the coin. If they find other side saying things that are likely untrue, they should probably handle it without indirectly (& unknowingly) promoting the coins and the personalities involved. Unfortunately, you'll have to mention their names and projects/coins sometimes to correct untrue informations.
The good side probably should humble itself & move into crypto communities (the good ones especially), and get the communities to rally around true Bitcoin and its ideals. The ideals could be clearly spelt out to enable the communities judge for themselves which side is upholding Blockchain/crypto ideals, and rally around that side and its coin/project. This is one of the good ways to get lots of Crypto people on your side(in my opinion), instead of spending too much on people to defend a preferred project.

I guess you mean "is there a change last year"
Well, I think people who are here only to make money will give up easily. This is why is necessary to part of something you are passionate about so you don't lose hope quickly. Those who give up on decentralization and cryptocurrency don't really know what they are giving up on. Can you give up on rain if it fails to fall for 6 month? Ofcourse not. I will wait for rain, move to other locations or build/use an irrigation system until the rain falls. Will not depend too much on government for water

You mean a digital currency store for both fiats & cryptocurrencies? More like crypto exchange? I guess that will depend on you and the government,except maybe you create a decentralized exchange/store for that but for only cryptocurrencies, I guess.

Site looks very attractive.
Crypto-based gamblings are doing really well from what I have seen so far. I guess non-crypto based gamblings offer similar or even way better stuff.. . i do not know them that much though, like I know the crypto-based gamblings.
Hope this works out well for the owner.
Bookmarked.

I didn't really set much crypto goal. Setting New year goals is good, but you have to factor in the possibility of changing/altering your goal to improve it or adapt it to your changing environment.
So, I will make sure I write my goals with a pencil next time. And build things that are easy to alter and improve. The most important thing is to have your goal founded on solid foundation (ideology/principle) in order not to derail during challenging times

Sounds interesting. I kind of prefer p2p betting.
Does this use a token or something?
And number 2, is that Bitcoin Lightening Network?
Couldn't access the site on my browser unfortunately... wanted to get more details on the kyc part.

Interesting. "Holland casino" (a single casino company?) is the only state-regulted(state approved?) casino in the whole country? This probably means only one casino owns the whole legitimate casino in the country, right? The license must be very tough to obtain or something . |

Theoretically, gambling can teach someone to manage their money, but normally, it's the other way around. You should first learn how to manage your capital, and start gambling only after that. You can improve your skills in this regard with gambling, that’s true. But don't start to gamble before you know the basics.
Not only getting money is the thing that we can get, learning is more important and it can be obtain in gambling , patience in every game is ehat Ive learned as a gambler, especially in crucial times , when I almost losing the money , but still Im in moderation , I dont want to get addicted and frustrated , emotional learnings is what I get in gambling and it is good. Your post reminded me of another significant thing I've learned from gambling. Sometimes to continue what you are doing is not necessarily the right thing to do. When you are losing again and again, it's probably better to stop before it's too late, instead of proceeding with pursuing your goal. Slogans like "Don't give up! and "Keep trying!" are inapplicable to gambling, as well as to some other activities in real life. For example, if you fail over and over again in attempts of finding a particular job, maybe you should stop trying to get that particular job, and focus on finding a different one. They should probably just focus on skill-based gamblings and learn them well enough. I think that is the only way a serious person can profit from gambling without cheating. It's a matter of being dedicated and acquiring knowledge/skills to succeed in your prefered skill-based gambling. |

I guess many crypto users already know the disadvantages of using centralized exchanges... Hopefully this reaches to those that unaware of some of the implications. By the way, it's not a good idea to keep more than you can afford to lose on centralized exchanges. People should follow the narrow path and not what everyone else is doing.

The funny part is actually there is some users that thought the email sent by Poloniex was a phishing attempt and not a genuine email I think the users did the right thing. I would be suspicious too. But it's better not to ignore message like that completely. A more sensible thing to do in such situations is to trust but verify The users should probably go to the exchange verified Twitter handle to access the website safely. |

I need lists of projects that were thought to be scam and faced many wrong accusations but in the end still thrive and become successful today, any? I believe not all project that appears to be scam ends up been scam because people suspect them to be
Guess you're looking for this to use it as a reference when a project is called a scam. Well, pretty much all top altcoins were called scams in the past. Bitcoin too was called a scam in its early days... today it's one of the most important cryptocurrency in the world. If you truely believe in your project, no amount of scam tag will make you abandon it except maybe death or being prevented from using Bitcoin |

If you accept that today, what is the guarantee that you will reject being chipped in your body or brain?
In The Future: "allow us to monitor you brain or get chipped else you won't be allowed to be part of our society"... Would you accept that?
There are safer ways to go about knowing your costumers without exposing billions of people to risk. Decentralized approach is probably the safest.
