I think every story is unique in its own way and I like to read most of them. Some of those winners actually lose their gains later on because they keep playing but on the other hand, some smarter people use their money to create a financial empire for themselves and I am really interested in their story. Using the money for something else other than gambling takes huge dedication which almost means quitting gambling. Obviously I am talking about life changing money here. I too don’t like to read people who won $100. All I think when I read those stories is “gj go buy yourself a happy meal now.”

Growing how? Price-wise? Yes, the price is going higher and higher against the USD if that’s what you mean. If you are talking about worldwide user adoption of btc, then I don’t think that’s the case because of the high fees. Right now getting included in the next block costs ~$9-10. And if you pay $4, your tx will get a confirmation in 24h. A network as expensive as this is its own enemy. These fees will drive away users to alts… Don’t get me wrong, people want to use btc but they can’t…

Hopefully it won’t get approved. Institutionalized bitcoin will be useless to the masses. It will be censored and fully KYC’ed which is no different than the CBDC’s. Bitcoin should be censorship-free and provide some privacy. If these features are removed from btc, it will be just another government currency. I don’t care about the price. You can’t name a price for freedom.

Good thing is this little fucker got no merits for his post. Nobody fell for his trap. Gj everybody. Earning merits/raising alts is a serious business.

This forum went soft after Lauda's departure. R.I.P Lauda btw. She will be missed.

See you at the gates of Valhalla bruh. We will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

Depends on how big is your loss and what your monthly cash flow is.

For example;

You could lose 1 million usd but if your monthly income is $500k, you will make up for it in 2 months. No big deal.

If your monthly income is $2k but you lost $100k and that was all you got, then you are in a big trouble probably.

As you see, it is all relative. For some people $1000 is big money, for some others it is just what they pay for their lunch.

If you declare yourself dead, I will if this is your wish.

I died today too.

Hmm hmm

I think this was an eth smart contract.


And yet so many people said eth smart contracts have no real world use. Hear hear.

I don't think so. Sooner or later they will flag your account and lock it till you send them your docs. If you have a problem with KYC, just don't play on a casino which enforces it. The sad thing is, there is almost no casino left which doesn't do KYC... There are some casinos which are not as tight as the others but nowadays all of them have KYC in their ToS which means they can make up any excuse when they decide to use it. (like; the authorities ordered us...) Maybe there will be some good decentralized gambling platforms in the future since as far as I know none of the current ones are popular.

This pic is the inflation chart.

Inflation is the expansion of the money supply and this chart reflects exactly that.

The more they print the more expensive everything gets.

If you want to fight this crap, buy the stuff which has limited supply and people will always need. Real estate, commodities, land... According to this chart, as long as you hold USD, you will be the sucker in the long term. In the short term, things may look a bit different since it is expensive to borrow money right now but sooner or later the FED will go dovish again.

In my previous post I said "avoid buying a house" mainly because of the high interest rates. If you have the cash, now is the time to get rid of it.

Nobody cares anymore. I used to be obsessed with tether printing too but now it wouldn't surprise me if they doubled the total tether marketcap in a day. If the authorities are OK with this, why should I care?  BTC still has limited supply no matter what they do. It is the problem for the US if bitfinex is printing counterfeit USD. The FED is doing it all the time, maybe they are using bfinex unofficially to print USD so we won't accuse the FED for printing USD... Finex takes all the blame when USD&USDT goes down to zero. Daym criminals killed USD!!! Quick! Hang Bin Laden.

Bch is not a serious project. It is somebody’s toy. It has way less real world adoption than the major alts. Ltc, doge and xmr are viable alternatives to btc imo and I am raising my positions in these alts lately. Btc sadly became an exchange stock which lost its transaction ability. It is only good for buying and selling on the exchanges… If they somehow find a way to lower them fees, I will gladly go back to btc but right now it is not a matter of choice, it is a necessity. Some people here say that we should defend bitcoin at all costs and why should we exactly? To get ripped of by the miner fees? Nty I haven’t signed up for a religion.

The account is pretty much ruined though. I don't think the buyer paid the top dollar for the account. The only thing usable there is the huge amount of smerits (since he is not a merit source) and they are all tainted now. Every time he sends them, the receiving user will look like an alt of him.

He could have kept the situation under control till he sold the account.

But the interest rates have skyrocketed lately. I am not sure if it makes sense to borrow money from banks right now.

Sure, if your monthly income is enough to pay the monthly payments, then go for it. But also take into consideration what will happen if you suddenly lose your job/business and fail to pay the monthly payments to the bank. You will lose your house. The banks will foreclosure it.

I am not saying RV should be your permanent home. If you have the cash or a reliable income, buy your home. I suggested a temporary solution anyways and RV'ing is cool/fun af when you are young.

Forget housing. Living in an RV is a better idea especially if you are young and working remotely. Don’t get me wrong, everybody needs a house sooner or later but you need to play it smart. Now the interest rates are high so no matter how cheap your dream house is, you can’t buy it unless you borrow money from the banks.


Buying a house is something but maintaining it is a whole different story. It costs lots of money. Instead of buying one, you can live a minimalistic life in an RV, save money for a few years and then buy your home without hurting your finances too much. That way your home’s maintenance costs will be easier to handle too.

Hi fees iz a gud thingg. Since it is so expensive to move yer coinz, ya aint gonna muv yer coinz to an exchange to sell when the price is hi.

It actually calmed down a bit today. Next block costs $6 now, yesterday or before it was $12.

Still impossible to send something for 10 sats/b

Bitcoin on binance chain or any other chain ain't no bitcoin. It is an altcoin which (usually) has no history. If you are going to use alts (which makes sense in the current situation btw), at least use the alts which have very good track record like doge, ltc, xmr... These are cheap and relatively reliable alternatives. If you insist on using them wrapped bitcoins, you may get fooled thinking it is the real deal because they also use a different type of deposit/withdrawal address and if you somehow send your coins to those addresses you will lose your coins forever. Take no risks.

I don't think that's the case.

https://www.quora.com/Are-there-are-any-rules-that-state-that-the-owner-of-a-casino-cannot-use-his-her-personal-money-to-gamble-and-make-money

The rules are probably a little bit different in other countries but more or less they are the same.

However, when there is a will there is a way... The law can't completely protect everybody from evil people. They may use their friends, relatives etc to make these bets and as long as they keep it low amounts, nobody will notice.

Technically, this is not an attack. Some people who love NFT's are willing to pay more than the other people who want to create cheap transactions that's all. The attacker is the dev who implemented this feature and thought it was a good idea. Whoever he is, should be kicked out immediately and never again come close anywhere coding bitcoin.

If this thing keeps going, soon bitcoin will indeed lose its cash functionality completely. It will be a cat pic market.
