It's always nice to see people using bitcoin as currency and not only as an investment, as usual. Good that you were able to find an electronics' shop accepting bitcoin as payment method accessible to your location. I'm constantly trying to find some in my place, but google search algorithms aren't helping very much... It would be useful if there were a filter on google shopping search for showing only stores accepting bitcoin as payment.

This way, even smaller shops could get some special attention from crypto enthusiasts, which they aren't able to get at this moment due to the enourmous amount of inaccurate content displayed by google.

I suppose you can rent your ads spots at Services section of the forum or maybe should it be posted at Service Announcements?

Someone with a better interpretation of forum sections could enlight me, please?

Anyway, I always see faucet owners renting ads spots on their own faucet main thread... Although I understand you may want to attract more attention than you usually receive at Micro Earnings tab, as the traffic of forum members there is usually lower, especially when compared to Services section.

I really don't like the listing/delisting altcoins procedure. I think once an altcoin is listed, it should remain there until the end, because sometimes gamblers aren't active on a determined platform for long periods of time, but still have idle funds there. So, what happens if a gambler has a balance in let's say, BCH, and the platform stops dealing with this currency on their site? The gambler will lose his funds and the casino will take it as extra profit.

To prevent this it's important to be active accessing personal email used to sign up on the gambling provider, so important news and announcements won't be missed and in case of an altcoin being delisted, it will be possible to know in advance, having enough time to make the withdrawl in time. But not every gamblers follow closely their email accounts, or due to the high volume of spam from casinos, many messages may be blocked or pass unnoticed.

Canada has qualified for world cup only once, in 1986, but didn't reach too far anyway...

2022 is going to be their second appearance and in great style, it must be said, as they have been the only national team to win all played matches on the qualification group. Congratulations to them! I hope this world cup is going to be full of good surprises and that Canada can be one of them!

It's amazing when unexpected teams deliver unexpected results!

I believe it's certain Senegal will be on the final game. And I was thinking the same about Cameroon, but now i see Egypt is also fighting bravely with all their strength and will for the title. It's not possible to underestimate a team which turned a game around and won like Egypt did today with Morocco. From an initial thought of a safe bet on Cameroon now I'm doubtful if I really should do it... It must be going to be a strategical game, and if Egypt uses it at their own favour playing using the mind smartly and not only relying on physical skills, there are serious chances they can win.

Yeah, their intentions aren't good since the very beginning or as you said: they have a mindset to steal. Because in a situation where the casino is just lacking funds on the present moment to pay a jackpot or any other promotional reward to a gambler, they could simply tell the person the prize is going to take some time to arrive, that is, until the casino makes enough profit to pay it. But they can never add new requirements to the rules or change the rules meanwhile. The approach used towards customers is what differentiate legit businessmen from scammer ones.

I think to share stories like this are useful as a learnship process for those who are going to read it, so they can avoid commiting the same mistakes, and at same time to share these stories help the person who missed the opportunity to unburden the pain that is to keep these regrets stucked on his own mind. When people talk and express themselves about their feelings, dreams and regrets, they feel better, more confident and recharge their energies for future challenges that they will certainly encounter on their lives.

It's hard to measure the real potential of the national teams from this group, because all of them are at similar performance levels, that totally contrasts with teams from South America and Europe, which usually present much superior skills' levels. But it would be really nice to see teams like USA and Canada reaching the quarter finals, at least. As I see they are constantly trying to improve their soccer proficiency every 4 years and never give up, especially USA, which has never been out of a world cup since 1990, with the exception of the last one in Russia, four years ago.

How much are faucet users making hourly right now? Is it possible to reach at least 1$?

A good moment to buy bitcoin is always now, on the present! There are lots of people who keep waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect dip to finally acquire their first portion of bitcoin, but that is actually a big mistake, because nobody can predict it accurately. So what happens is that these people never start investing and when they realize this fact, it's already too late, because bitcoin becomes too expensive for them to buy a nice amount of satoshis. That is why people should just invest in bitcoin, doesn't matter the currently price, while not getting anxious to see financial returns on short run.

Now I expect Cameroon versus Senegal for the final countdown. I think it's safe to bet on Cameroon against Egypt or Morocco and on Senegal against Equatorial Guinea and Burkina Faso next. For the finals, however, I think it can be an interesting duel with both teams scoring and fighting for the title fiercely, although Cameroon really look like the favorite and more skilled these days.
I just hope violence scenes like the ones seen on the game between Cameroon and Comoros don't repeat themselves for the next games. That was a barbaric shame for african soccer, leading to 8 deaths.

Another frustration was the way Ghana ended its participation on the championship. That was not the same Ghana from past world cups...

This is a profitable kind of business, but not applicable everywhere. Even if I say I prefer to work with the rich, it might not be my reality, because the area where you live heavily influences on this. If you live in poor zones, it's very unlikely you will be able to start a business focused in rich customers. It will be probably a waste of money and time, so you always need to adapt yourself to your own reality or move yourself to somewhere else where you will find the target audience you are looking for in abundance. Moreover, rich customers will demand improved skills and quality from the services offered, so you have to make sure to deliver what they are expecting.

Meanwhile, businesses focused on the masses let the quality in second plan and focus more on affordable prices for everyone. So they rely on the quantity of sales in order to make decent profit.

From the total list of 26 companies, only 3 businesses belong to the Software sector, while 15 are exclusive from crypto industry (mining, exchange or investment firm). More than half of the institutional investors from the top 26 are actually crypto businesses. It gives an impression mainstream companies are still avoiding bitcoin on their treasuries.

It's very nice to see a strong adopter like MicroStrategy always supporting bitcoin during its hardest moments, but without competition it doesn't make much sense. Because it's competition which keeps any markets alive and thriving. That means, more companies purchasing and accumulating bitcoin at same time. Hegemony isn't good in this case...

It looks like "man lost everything to his addictions" would fit better as the title of these news. Of course crypto investments are risky and it's possible to lose money if you pick the wrong coins or sell them at the wrong time, but it doesn't mean people are going to lose everything because of a bad move, exclusively.

Since he lost all he had I suppose it has something to do with his behavior, mindset, methods, strategies (or the lack of them) when investing, and not with his luck or crypto market itself. I just feel sad because news like this discourage average people to try experimenting cryptocurrency, as they imagine the same is going to happen to them, so they are going to lose everything as well.

You are right, because first of all the addicted gambler himself must want to stop gambling to overcome his addiction. No friends, family or therapists can cure an addiction if the individual on the center of the issue is reluctant in doing so. Third parties' help is useful as a support and as an incentive to encourage the addicted gambler during the hard times, when he may think about giving up his fight for sobriety. However, the battle is always fought by the addicted person, so the biggest part of the effort must come from him. He must be confident and resilient until the end.

Thank you, I hope you are lucky to win any of those sweet prizes as well! We don't want those rewards to get old, dusty and forgotten on freebitco,in's shelf without any winners, right?
But so far I've accumulated only 276 spins.

Well, that was something I wasn't aware of. I believed satoshis, RPs and lottery tickets prizes would keep increasing without being limited to 50 as btc price goes down...

Big sums of money leaving crypto market in one shot (whales cashing out) are responsible for that. Sentiments come only later, when every investors else realize what happened, so they become pessimistic about the currently market conditions, what can lead to further corrections in bitcoin's price, and consequently in altcoins' prices as well due to panic selling.
Anyway small investors (most of us) don't have a big impact in bitcoin price: positively or negatively, it doesn't matter. Bitcoin drives crypto market and whales drive bitcoin price...

It's undeniable El Salvador increases its debt regards the investment made in bitcoins when compared to the price it was bought if the cryptocurrency's price keeps falling. Although it's not a problem for now, as the investment was made aiming long term returns for the country's treasury. Only in some years or in a decade we will be able to conclude if that was a good step or not for El Salvador to have invested in bitcoin.

The point is that El Salvador faces a difficult economical situation for a long time already, currently with 84% of its GDP compromised with debt and I don't think bitcoin is going to be a magical tool which will solve all their financial problems suddenly. The government actually needs to attract foreigner investors and foreigner funds to their country in order to increase the GDP and decrease debt. It's not an easy task though. Tourism could be a decent source of income for the country, but the pandemic difficults it from happening. Moreover, there are so many countries and islands around which directly compete for the same kind of public in tourism sector.

I'm also saving my spins to use all at once when bitcoin reaches a cheaper price yet. I expect bitcoin is still going to crash a little more, because US Federal Reserve has said interest rates for investors is going to be raised soon, and from the moment it happens on, whales are probably going to cashout more funds from bitcoin to invest on traditional american markets, what will make bitcoin lose value.
Then it will be the perfect time for long term holders to use the wheel spins, maximizing satoshis earnings to keep for the future. Have a good weekend!

There are those who were scammed by Mt. Gox exchange in 2014 and are going to receive their money back probably this year. That is what it's expected accordingly to the last news and accordingly to the CEO Mark Karpeles. However, as bitcoin became too valuable along the years, these investors aren't going to receive the same amount of bitcoins they had back then. It's really not the perfect ending, but at least they are going to receive more money in fiat than they had invested in bitcoin in 2014. After all investors are going to make some profit anyway...

Not putting all your eggs on the same basket, it's fine to use centralized exchanges.
