Additionally when they get listed on exchanges the huge sell wall set up by the bounty hunters almost crashes the market. This leads to a lot of problems like people thinking that the project is scam reasoning to the selling or the exchange getting hacked one day with the coins lost because they were being stored on that site for years since 2017 and never reached any target price.

OP seems to have a grudge but does not wish to step forward to reply to the posts that were made, guess they were just padding their post count.

Of course it is normal to feel bad when a free source of money stop flowing but it is inevitable, just ask yourself.

The best way is to look for an exchange that allows people from UK to deposit and exchange bitcoins for fiat which is I guess Pounds in your case.

This should not be difficult for you but we have some users from UK here already like @welsh and others who might be able to give you a local deal which is a P2P one and does not need signing up on exchange.

Again the second type of deal is more risky and should involve an escrow to keep the money safe from possible scam.

Not all card games need strategy. Talk about blackjack you cant make that work by your brain. Now some people are going to talk about basic strategy and card counting. The point is that if you have seen live dealings then BJ is played with multiple decks to stop the players from counting cards. For online BJ games, forget about card counting, every deal is random.

Now poker is a game that is skill based. But slots again a completely EV- game which drains money very quickly.

Mass adoption does not come from one single idea though it can induce a starting change and bring forth more changes.

I am not sure why you are pointing these points out because both of them are essentially redundant. Volatility and the amount that is at risk to volatility would not be big for an average transaction for a gas payment. Lightning network will enhance the transaction speed too.

A stablecoin is not the solution to every problem in the world. At one time people seemed to think that a new altcoin will solve every problem till they found  out that altcoin projects were shit. Same with stablecoins. What I wrote above also reinforces this point.

A bit offtopic but Libra is never even coming to the scene. The mainstream operators and investors backed out.

It is safer to just assume all these projects as bad projects. You would not get anything good out of them other than bad memories of having to hold on to these shitcoins while the owners go on a road trip to Monaco and Las Vegas to spend investors money. Yup that is the truth with these scams since people have no authorities to complain to.

To be honest, I and many others in this forum do too. But the change comes from the hunters themselves. If they dont wish to take in the truth then nobody can help them.

You dont buy ethereum with a wallet. You buy through an exchange. Unless you are talking about a wallet which has a third party integration with an exchange like the one that MEW now allows you to do.

You dont need to remember where you made your account. If you go to myetherwallet.com you might be able to recover your wallet access. Have you tried reading their help documentation and FAQs?

But if it was an online wallet service then chances are pretty slim for recovery.

Forcing a merit source to merit only specific ranks is counter-productive and which is why I think such a idea would not be followed up.

A merit source's job is to go through posts and merit those that are worth their time and having something substantial to talk about. If you force them to only merit certain ranks then they would have a hard time completing their merit quota or end up diving the distribution of merit in a wrong way if the ranks being talked about start spamming meta with their "Give me merit but I dont ask for it" threads - which I am sure almost every other older member here has seen and become sick of reading.

Gold ETFs and all are controlled by governments to some extent. There are limitations on how much you can buy from exchanges for ETFs, I guess physical gold does not have such limitations and you meant that.

Bitcoin can exist in physical form for the sake of having one. Did you know we have a "Collectibles" section in this forum where people trade minted coins which are loaded with bitcoin of certain denominations? They have a private key along with the piece so you can redeem it when you like but it is asset worth keeping for yourself and using as a mode of transaction.

However this does not differ with your argument that gold and bitcoin are not comparable - which I completely agree with.

Problem is that you cannot do any such thing to prevent it from having a bad toll on the people you care about. You can save up money in the form of different assets but does that mean that those assets are not going to fall in value if there is another recession?

How is hedging going to help you combat recession?

I am more of the opinion that recession is a necessary evil. One cannot stop it from happening but will also have a bad effect on the people. Bitcoin though is a very small fraction like you said so having it would not really matter because during a recession even bitcoin become almost un-useable, provided you are living in a country where bitcoin usage is allowed and have used it previously in pre-recession times.

You can make a zero amount wager bet to see the current roll that you make still the best way is to watch the live bets rolling. They are not complete but a highlight of the highest bet numbers. That could give you a rough estimate. However hunting behind a roll means competing against the cumulative bets of the other players too which is again a huge number considering the presence of Primedice.

So it comes down to luck in this case if you are looking to hit it. Still there is a forum giveaway for the people who are loyal to PD and their forum and can fill those eligibility criteria properly.

You understand what we are talking about here, right? It is no different than Fiat and not sure if that is what Satoshi wanted to happen but probably thought that was inevitable in the end.

Specially the CEXs which store people's data and give it to the governments to evaluate. Banks of course do that and it will make it even more easier.

That is a good thing. We will see a lot of new blood entering crypto and that means more market movements and rising stock prices of these banks. Soon enough other countries will be forced to follow suit.

If this trend continues the good effect is that bitcoin will become more popular than those country-represented shitcoins.

No you cant. This topic is a discussion about what if they would start accepting bitcoin.

Well come on now, you think the yellow taxi services did not do anything like that previously? They run a racket and now they are unhappy that someone else came up with a better idea and are now the dying breed. Still I prefer to have the AC cab for a medium to longer haul than getting burnt in a metal box with a driver who smells like a pack of low cost cigarettes.

Still you have to know that this is the future. Although whether they would move to bitcoin is still a big question. Back on topic I dont think they will due to the possible dislike from other companies.

It is true for any day not just a few days ago. It has been ongoing since a long time now. If bounty hunters are going to depend on bounties then they are mistaken as it is very clear now. The problem lies with the hunters because they were the ones who abused the bounties at one time to get paid in bigger amounts by cheating with multiple accounts and this lead to the forced KYC thing.

It was good at one time when they would do bounties as a method of showing appreciation and support for the project. It went down from there to literally scraping away for tokens. But not all of the hunters are bad, still the ones who were honest have to suffer.

In a way every addiction kills that addict. Thats why they are all a type of poison and that is why people like it. However a responsible gambler, like I have previously knows his bankroll and his gambling habit. They would know how to manage their work life, personal life and the gambling habit. If they cannot do this properly then they need to seek professional help. I think every gambler should spend some time taking care of their bad habits and promise to themselves not to waste too much time and money on playing.

After all we all should help others seek the proper path in life and not shame the addicts. They can change their ways with time and they need support.

Too much diversion is again bad. There needs to be a balance between keeping your money in the form of cryptocurrencies, stocks, bonds commodities, precious metals and liquid cash. You have that and you have the opportunity to ride a wave in every market. You dont have to watch while another popular market goes up with a fist on your chin and a lopsided grin

But diverting too much within the crypto sector like putting in money in too many altcoins is risky. What you need to focus on is bitcoin and keep the altcoins to a bare minimum for the long term.

Please post these screenshots along with deposit transaction logs in the proper format in "Scam Accusations" section of this forum. Making a thread would not really draw any attention in case they have a representative account here, which I am not sure of.

Of course if you have broken their terms and conditions and sent money from tainted sources and have done money laundering then you are guilty here. In most cases you would have shown the pictures and not opened a thread right away without data. Calling someone a thief without proof is also not a good thing to do here.

As far as I have seen these account posting such accusations have been doing something shady and the exchange blocked them for that. But lets see what the OP has to say, or not.

Where are you getting such metrics? Please show any bounty with a 1M USD bounty budget that has been successful in the past. There were big ones but that is too much.

A reduction is bounty reward allocation may not always be indication that the marketing of the project in the form of bounty has been poor from other projects. In a way it does indicate but it is not conclusive. However do no let these ideas cloud your mind. One should not depend on bounty earnings to be lasting forever. The analysts who do the marketing of these projects have seen that the forum generates very little conversion ratio due to the massive amount of bot accounts in social media.

I hope you do not read the OP's post, because that is just to gain attention but does not explain the thing properly.

The miners get rewarded for the blocks they mine called the block subsidy. Every few years the block subsidy is "halved" and this is known as halving.

The idea behind this is that with every halving the amount that is dumped over by the miners on the open market is reduced thereby reducing the chances that they can generate huge dumps keeping the economy of bitcoin stable when compared to the demand or buying pressure.

Now everyone looks forward to the halving as a bullish event. Personally I have seen too much speculation about this and it can be both a bullish or a bearish event.

Main point is that if you are looking to sell, do so and the buy back at lower price. Forget about the halving but be cautious to not trade in the few weeks before and after the halving.

But some countries want the tax that these casinos generate and thus allow them to flourish. Censorship is not healthy thing to do here specially when humans tend to take risks with money. Still there needs to be a balance and allowing people to take responsibilities will only bring in backlash from other political parties, like it is in the US. Trump owns casinos in Vegas while others envy it.

This is another topic of discussion. It is the local government's decision which is considered.

Casino businesses will just move to other countries and operate under a new name.

Even 10$ is an exaggeration. Bounty tokens are nothing more than shitcoins. But when we have a bunch of users in this forum willing to get down to their knees and beg with open palms for these shitdrops then nothing can be done about them. They are not even in this section of the forum which is of discussion of services and probably most of them are not even literate enough to read these posts.

So it is of no use trying to make them stop. They have to stop by their free will.

Both those scenarios are ending up the same way. Selling the coins which are worth nothing yeilds zero coins for the hunter and not having anywhere to sell is also zero coins. There is no risk/reward talk here. It is a complete scam, so to speak.
