Unfortunatelly there isn't a perfect solution for this issue. Scams/fake propagandas have always existed and people have been only able to avoid them through self awareness. Sometimes we have to fall for them to learn we shouldn't act the same way again in the future or in the best scenario we can learn with someone else's mistake. But inevitably there are always people falling for scams and at same time scams are always evolving and being adapted to the new technologies.

What we see on the internet now is just an evolution of the old streets' scams. There was the popular shell game usually promoted by an entertaining man on the streets, calling for the attention of the pedestrians around to give a try on his guessing game. But what wasn't told, was that there were 2 or 3 strawmen nearby, who would promptly accept the challenge, always winning the man easily.

So another pedestrians, watching that situation imagined they could win as well without any effort. However, once it was their turn the host mixed the shells much more faster, with superior agility skills than he did against his strawmen, in a way it was very hard to predict the correct shell, consequently leading the gambler to a loss.

I mean, the strategy of fake bets didn't start with Youtube or Twitch. It has been always around and just like streets' scams, people need to learn how to deal with them for their own good.

I believe the process of persuading viewers into becoming buyers through ads consist in the frequency those viewers are going to watch an ad from a same product/service. If they watch an ad only once it won't have any impact at all, but if they watch it three, four, five times a day, and if possible on different channels and even outside the TV (outdoors banners are a good example) it's likely they will at least get curious about the advertised object, going for it.

In my country I see such ads only in virtual platforms like Youtube (ads between the videos), but in mainstream TV channels they are non existent yet. As far as I know every second of television ad is really expensive. In the most popular national channel it reaches to 1 bitcoin for a 6 seconds ad during peak time. This added to the low demand bitcoin still has here is probably the reason why crypto services don't launch any advertisement campaigns. It's abusively expensive and the results uncertain.

Manchester United wants to keep him, but it's not up to the team to decide for him. As I see Pogba isn't satisfied with the norwegian coach Solskjaer management of the team. And actually, it's said Pogba isn't the only one. There are players who believe their potential isn't being fully used by the coach to help the Red Devils, as it has been evident for many during the last 3 games against Leicester (defeat), Atalanta (narrow win), Liverpool (humiliating defeat). My prediction is that Pogba can be already considered out of Manchester, unless something unexpected happens, like the replacement of Ole Gunnar, for an example.

I expect the same, 70,000$ looks a nice number as a new security level for bitcoin (a conservative expectation), although I think it has potential to hit 80,000$, 90,000$ and even 100,000$, but in a very unstable shape, what isn't good at all.

Anyway bitcoin is in an interesting phase right now. We know in times of ATH, many investors can't resist the temptation and end selling their coins expecting to buy again for a cheaper price later and then we have these corrections in price, which tend to be really strong and devasting. At this time, however, the price doesn't go down too further and there are already new investors jumping into bitcoin's train again. That is a good signal bitcoin is bullish and there are many people following its movements closely day by day.

This action is only detrimental for bitcoin if there is nobody else to buy the coins Jack sold in the market. Otherwise, it's positive not only for bitcoin, but also for every parts involved in the negotitation, because all of them are accomplishing with their personal goals (Jack got money to purchase his car, another person bought the bitcoins he was looking for from Jack and the currency's price was maintained). These negotiations are like the blood circulating in our bodies, transporting oxygen to the cells of our organisms. Without blood there isn't life and without negotiations there isn't crypto market.

It's not fake news, he really said 2022 world cup in Qatar can be his last one. Well, it's surprising to hear that from a 29 years old soccer player who should be proud to be at the half of his career yet. There is still a lot more to be achieved by him, including in the national team, so he must really think about this decision more carefully. Anyway since now I can say if he makes the choice of abandoning the national team after next world cup, there will be a lot of criticisms* against him worldwide and especially in Brazil, what will prejudice his image on the history of soccer. And besides that there is also a lot of money involved through sponsorships that I think he wouldn't want to lose.

*Actually he is already very criticized for supposedly drawing fouls with some frequency.

The best way to prove this information is true would be by signing a message from the btc address holding 10 bitcoins owned by the casino. This way one of the biggest doubts could be cleared up, decreasing the suspiciousness among gamblers, consequently helping the casino to grow its users' base faster. Thanks to blockchain transparency is possible and accessible, while also guaranteeing the safety of the coins' holder.

Passive income is great and should be aimed by everyone who wants their financial freedom, however we must be careful where we seek for this income, because most cryptocurrencies you stake are going to lose value on long run, leading the investor to a negative passive income, that is exactly the opposite of what someone expects when investing.

So even though you are going to have more coins than you firstly had due to the staking feature, their decreasing value will keep you in loss anyway. And I suspect developers of these coins use the profits they make through pumping and dumping schemes to invest their money in strong currencies, which don't necessarily offer staking feature (mainly bitcoin).

I don't doubt the source of the information is legit. It really looks like China is trying to check how its reputation is right now at crypto market among investors. They dropped the bait, if the market pumps, China can consider it is due to them being opened to rethinking their position regards crypto currencies, what would mean they are still influent here. If nothing significant happens, well, they will have to think in something smarter to get the importance they had before the final ban.

As I see China is behaving similar to the girl who keeps despising the boy who likes her, but once the boy forgets her, she will do everything to attract his attention back.

I tried to find more informations about what casinos have to accomplish to receive such award, but wasn't able to find clear guidelines, besides this:


Below, they point some "criteria", but without further details:


https://bettingandgamingcouncil.com/members/gamcare-safer-gambling-standard

I suppose these 10 items on the list are the 10 areas which casinos must improve their policies and approach with gamblers.

For crypto casinos I believe it will be hard to be awarded, because some of the points demanded by GamCare go against their decentralized nature or simplified sign up and usage requirements.

Good that you have learned something from this big loss and will stay away from gambling for a while. You are totally right by doing so. Take your time and have no hurry to start betting again, because a loss of 20,000$ must not be neglected. Don't try to beat the house at all costs. Set your own limits and if even by doing this you aren't able to win, just give up. There is no reason to be ashamed in giving up when the chances are against you. That is actually the smartest thing to do. And always keep in mind although you can get rich by gambling, it's not necessarily (and probably) going to to happen. So take it only as a hobby activity.

It's almost free advertisement for developers, although people don't seem to bother promoting these crypto currencies for free, as even the tiniest possibility of making some profit from the airdrop is worthful for them. I've already thought about joining some of those airdrops, but the fact it's not possible to know how much participants are going to be paid to execute the asked tasks made me give up on engaging with them.

The most interesting thing I bought with bitcoin was a bitcoin physical wallet. I don't remember exactly how much it priced, because I don't have the transaction history anymore. I suppose it was something around 0.002 BTC. I would like to use bitcoins to buy stuff more often, but I fear the online sites accepting it as payment don't have enough reputation yet, what means it's a risky deal.

Regards the bitcoin wallet I just purchased because it was from an official reseller of Trezor.

The main advantage is that you don't need middlemen payment services like the ones you mentioned in OP which are well known for charging abusive fees due to regulations imposed by some countries. So you can gamble for longer at crypto casinos with less or the same amount of money you would need to gamble at a fiat casino for less time (and also because the bet size is more customizable at crypto casinos).

Moreover giveaways, promotions and benefits in general tend to be more generous at crypto casinos, what puts them ahead when comparing gambling sites on this aspect.

That is a good lesson to be learned by those who get easily hyped by meme coins. People who want to invest in crypto market should stay away from Elon Musk and his jokes, because after all it always end very bad for investors while Elon drops out without any responsabilities for the mess his jokes cause around.

Shiba investors are complaining a lot and blaming Musk for the recent crash, but nothing can be done anymore, it's too late now. I feel sorry for those who lost money, however nothing different was expected and these investors should have been more careful because we already knew the bad Musk's reputation in crypto universe, as months ago he dumped bitcoin price for speculative reasons.

These are populist measures used by politicians to show the poors they are taxing the riches, so they become a kind of Robin Hood in the eyes of the media and the public in general. But in fact these are harmful measures, because they are creating an unfavorable environment for businesses in their territory, what will lead companies to leave to another states or to also raise the costs of their services for gamblers (the final customers).
In the end the state of New York will be the most prejudiced one, because it will lose income due to the greed and selfishness of its politicians. While for casinos companies and gamblers it isn't a problem at all, since there are dozens of another states where gambling is a welcome economical activity.

True. El Salvador is a good example of how banks can become manipulative when their personal interests are manaced. They start spreading lies and fear among most uneducated people while sponsoring protests against bitcoin to give the impression the population is mad at the idea of adopting a crypto currency.

Notably many of the so called experts who say bitcoin is going to die soon (once again) are connected to banks, as they belong to the mainstream financial sector. So they create the narratives that are shared by another people who are also benefited by the banking industry, like the employee mentioned in OP.

Conclusion: don't waste money on Iphones, buy bitcoins instead.

Just imagine how profitable bitcoin investment could be for those people who compulsively change their Iphones' models every new year when a new one is launched.

Good idea. The longer you hold, the more interest percentage you earn in a daily basis and if FUN is going to pump yet it must happen next year, when the new XFUN casino is scheduled to introduce fresh features, so no hurry is needed.

By the currently rates I must have been really lucky to hit 310 RPs reward, right?
I feel almost like winning a 3100 RPs prize in the old good days.

I will take mmorpgs as example, because this is the kind of game which has the most complete economical system where the real world trading mechanism better works.

There are gamers and gamers, or as some may prefer to say: "farmers". Some people play online games for status, achievements, while others join to farm some income. That is what already happens in some mmorpgs. There are people playing those games only for money right now, although they have spent a long time of their childhood and adolescence on those games for fun. Things change within time and something that used to be a leisure activity may turn into a job.

I believe blockchain games are just legalizing something that is usually illegal in mainstream games. By the terms and conditions of online games you don't own your account, the game lends it to you instead, so everything you have in your inventory doesn't really belong to you. Blockchain games are fairer with players regards this subject, as you really own what you have acquired inside the game and can do whatever you want with those goods. I don't consider it a revolution, just a very welcome feature for players who can be finally rewarded for the time spent on those games (since repetitive grinding has always been a major part of such games).
