The newbie who is lucky enough not to rush into gambling but learn to know the rudiments and the dos and don'ts of it is indeed lucky. But such must be willing and able to actualise what he learned so that he knows the go area and no-go area in gambling to avoid issues that are commonly associated with it. This can also help the gambler to know the difference between gambling for fun and gambling for the money, and also know the issues attached to the two of them.

Gambling is such that is also risky, for this, the gambler will know the importance of plans and management in it, even as such a gambler knows how to control himself. What I am trying to say is actually about the entire preparedness of the gambler and I do not think this can be shortchanged for anything when it comes to the success and preservation attached to it.

Finally, unless the new gambler has as been well thought about the risks and the success possibilities attached to gambling, and is also fully aware of the ways to go about it, to make his account and self well-managed is now misbehaving to the point that he is addicted or got aggressive, desperate and frustrated due to it, then such is a big fool. Because "Before warn is before armed." So why the lapses?

5 years is enough years to build trust but when the gambler is not making a reasonable amount of money but losing with them, he may never know the sincerity and the integrity of the casino. Well, this is not the first time that BC.Game has been called out on this forum, but recently, they seem to be more serious about attending to issues like this and I believe yours will be resolved as well. The $10,000 is not a small amount of money and asking you for their KYC is not the issue, it is their right, but your not being able to submit your documents is the issue.

However, I've witnessed such issues before which is not even to the awareness of the company, and it might also be a general issue on their website/platform at that time. For this, you can't conclude that you've been scammed yet, you need to contact their support for help. And if the casino is a good company, they will always have alternative channels where you can send the documents if direct sending becomes an issue. This is certainly not a big issue unless they are hiding something.

This is hilarious and should I say I did not expect it because anyone who thinks he or she can base their casino's preference on bonuses and perks will certainly find him or herself in a hot soup in most cases. If that is the basis, then most of the new and worse casinos will win the gambler easily, and to what end? To the end that you deposit your money, and dedicate your time, energy and money to wager, but in the end, they refuse to honour your withdrawal request. So what is the gain of such a gambler? What the casino is offering me as extras like bonuses and their promotions are the least of my concerns, I do not even go for any bonus in my sports betting account, and I make sure that I segregate the account used for betting on sports from that of casino for proper management and accountability.

This is because of the ugly experiences I've had regarding the bonuses, it is just a means to tie your hand in most cases, the terms and conditions are overbearing and too demanding to me. Since I mean real business in my sports betting unlike my casino betting, I better ignore it so that I have a full say on my money. Also, the best things to look for in casinos, in my opinion, are the UI & UX, which could entail all the services of the casino, including their support and security. Other things are secondary, which could even be to lure the customers into their company.

Well, people are the reason why others are investing in Bitcoin because if they never tried it to tell the good news about it, others may never know the opportunities in it not to mention of spreading it on social media and other outlets for others to know. This means that it should come first from people regardless of what we believe and there is nothing we can do about it. But the good advice is that we should not be a blind follower of anything, which includes Bitcoin, we should investigate them, learn them and find the means to manage our risks regarding them. This is why we always advise that everyone should do their own reached and never be too trusting. A lot of people who knew nothing about Bitcoin introduced their friends and families to it, but to what end? Loss and mismanagement!

They will definitely mismanage their way into it and lose since they never prepared for it but will only start complaining later. But the instinct, I do not agree with you, do not gamble your investments with instincts, you should know it, be a good speculator and manager, and most importantly, every investor needs to be the friend of their trading chart.

This is not true and it seems you even wrote the opposite of what is happening on the forum. First, we should know that the traffic of the forum can't be static or the same at all times, it has to be dynamic, and just like the market charts are displaying, so is the trend of the forum activities. It is normal that there will be times of increasing traffic and there will be times of decreasing traffic, but on average, the forum still maintains a very good reputation traffic-wise. As for the factor, fewer topics are not being posted as you alleged, and as a matter of fact, there are more topics, and they are interesting ones which I often see daily. There are also low, medium and high-ranking members who are active, so I do not know where you are getting your metrics on this matter.

However, for me, the two most important reasons are the inability of some users to join a campaign. They might reduce their gambling activities due to that until they are again fixed somewhere. And the lack of will is the second. The second part might sound funny, but when the average of those who lack the will to post is high, it becomes obvious, especially if the happenings on the forum bore them at a point. This is not coordinated but could be coincidental to have such an effect.

No doubt, like any other asset, Bitcoin has helped to hedge against inflation in the past, but with the current status of the coin, I do not think it would be easy anymore. Take for instance, if you buy Bitcoin at $65,000 and the inflation in your country bites to the point that the goods you want to buy or the service you want to purchase has truly skyrocketed to at least 4 times as it is currently happening in my country, whereas Bitcoin could only move to $125,000. What do you do? This obviously cannot hedge the inflation, but as an investment, if it moves higher for at least a reasonable degree, it will still help the person to limit the effect of the inflation and it depends on the performance of Bitcoin at the time.

And I must advise you, do not invest in Bitcoin simply because of its past history, it may fail you and a good investment warning forbids that. You should invest in it because you believe in it, that's better in case anything bad happens. Bitcoin enjoyed its low price then and the early investors were so lucky, but at this time when the price is somewhat high, extreme care is needed to avoid issues.

I think you are mixing things up here, trading more doesn't put our trading account in jeopardy unless we are mismanaging our trading account. The plan could be faulty, if not, one can do whatever they like when the market is strongly trending up or down. What matters is for the trader to know the right striking level and time and the exiting level at the same time, and also know the right money and risk management to use at that point in time so that the view that the market is bullish and smoothly trending will not cloud our judgement. The market is funny and the one you see seriously trending up for hours and that has moved 250 pips steadily could suddenly reverse sharply downwards with more than 350 pips depending on the factor that caused it. For this, serious traders will always be ever ready even as the safety of our trading accounts should be the top priority and not the expected earning itself.

That's a nice reminder and I do not know anyone conversant with Bitcointalk who will still slack in that regard, or else, such a person will regret it. The fact that Binance even has issues with my country has made me almost completely stop working with it, but for other exchanges and centralised systems, my cautious approach with them since they merely "owe" me the amount with them and not a guaranteed arrangement has ever made me careful in dealing with them.

However, there is no way this sentencing will ever affect Binance in any way, it is now under new management and the operation of the exchange continues to run smoothly after CZ excused himself as the CEO months back, which will not be different now. But what pains me is that the sentence is too little regardless of whether he pleads guilty or not, the 4 months will soon pass.

This will continue to embolden these rich guys to launder money, so what's the point?

Well, what I can understand from the guy is that the 262,500 Satoshis mentioned could be misleading as used in the context. This is why I think you misplaced it for $262,500 Bitcoin value judging by the inability of people to hold on till that level is reached, as indicated in your remarks. Correct me if I am wrong though.

The 262,500 Satoshis is a small amount, maybe he was trying to advise that people may at least be buying such in worse cases which I agree with as well. But it is good to know that good investors should know the right time to invest and divest, no one should be dumb investors just for the love of Bitcoin. Bitcoin investment is all about the making of the money therein, and the smart ones would make it better. Imagine those who bought Bitcoin at $5,500 for example and liquidated it at $65,000 to rebuy it again in 2022 at $20,000.

We do not need a soothsayer to tell us that such a fellow would have gained multiples more than the person who bought at the same price but never liquidated it to buy again in 2022. That is the smart part of an investment which many are not considering, but instead perceive those who practice it as a weak investor. Now tell me, who is weaker or smarter between the two?

I've always said that it is not about the leverage but the risk taken through it, and even if you are planning to trade with some risks, you should be planning to trade with some management that will be able to counter the excessive negative effect of the risks. This is why I appreciate what you wrote here. As an experienced trader myself, I know the value of minimizing our risks, and if someone can down it low to the level of 1-2% then it is a very good bargain that will most likely not affect the trader. Because such will not lose his money so easily, and when the trading strategy of the trader is good, it will be another opportunity to overpower the market squarely to the advantage of the trader.

Also, the use of support and resistance to place the trade is so important in minimising the risk exposure. You can't compare the person who bought an asset at about 100 pips above its support level with the person who bought it barely 5 pips above it, the latter is the better trader who is being cautious with the risk management and the account safety. Nonetheless, one should also ensure that the support and resistance strategies they use are strong enough for this task, this is where many traders miss it and not the managerial plan itself. I use trendline, price action and the peak and bottom of candlesticks to actualise it.

Thank you for sharing, but the market doesn't work that way and I must equally say that just as I expected this to unfold after the US SEC's ETF approval, many other people knew that many other countries would follow, so it's not a big deal for the market anymore. Even Ethereum's ETF approval in the US will no more impact the crypto market the way the Bitcoin ETF filling and the drama surrounding it made the market behave at that time. That's the market psychology, it has priced in the ETF effect in the crypto space regardless of the country or asset showing interest.

That aside, the US market is a world-renowned market that can't be taken lightly, but unfortunately, the Australian market is not, which is why the effect will be minimal. The USD is being paired with all the assets of the world which makes it so important in the financial market in relation to the country itself (the US) that is strong in everything. By virtue, anything related to the US and USD is often important to the market. But a faint of such is applicable to a few top-world countries like the UK and EU, they have a sizable impact on the market as well, but so little compared to that of the US. This is even as they are more impactful in the market than Australia's effect. Are you getting the point?

This is based on my experience with the financial market and I majorly drew this from the reaction of the US news in the financial market and how all assets react with it compared to the news of other countries. In summary, I expect little or no effect on the crypto market due to the Australian ETF news.

Are you telling me you did not invest at all because your narration is not clear in that regard compared to your conclusion? If so, then you must have followed the steps of another person wrongly, so you are at fault. As an adult, we need to be able to decide for ourselves, but the moment we are following the steps of other people, we could be negatively affected or miss opportunities just like you did now. Well, it is a lesson to you, nonetheless, if you are still not lacking investment/business, then you are still exonerated, since it doesn't matter the channel at which the money is entering your pocket.

By that, I mean whether you invested in Bitcoin or other things, it doesn't matter, so long as the money is being made and not allowing our spare money to be wasted in the bank, it's good. But if you miss entirely, then you are at fault. During my missed days which I still regret a bit till today, I was still engaging in other investment activities, so I never missed entirely as it is not a must it should be Bitcoin I should be dealing with. Except that if it were to be Bitcoin then, I would have made more money, that's just the difference in my case, so no serious hurt feelings.

You still repeated the same statement, and at this point, I do not know whose side you are. Is it the casino/business side or the humanitarian side? If you are a concerned person, you will always choose the healed world/humanitarian first over anything else including the business. You are looking at the core goal of casinos and the relationship with the customers, but overlooking the damage it can cause to some people who could be a victim of it. Fine, gambling is an adult activity and people, including the government and casinos expect it to be played by mature and well-prepared people. I have also preached that many times. But at the same time, we are all humans, we can't be wise/smart or think the same way and even some younger people may be more mature in handling themselves and things of life better than some older ones.

Look around you, are people the same? It is not everybody that is smart or can think for themselves or control/restrain themselves in some situations. This is why some external restrictive features like self-exclusion were put in place instead for some gamblers to be wasting their lives and fortunes away due to addiction which they can't control. Do you think that these addicted gamblers would want it for themselves if they were with their senses or able to correct the issue? This is why that feature is important, but the only issue is that it is not so effective, nevertheless, it has helped some people for real.

Now, effective or not, advocating its abolishment is not humane, it shows you do not care about anybody, that's what I was telling you, it's wrong. Who cares about more bonuses and offerings when a life is wasting off due to addiction? The self-exclusion feature is still an effort to help even as the addicts continue to find other lasting solutions to their problems.

Actually, the "Binance" you linked with the REZ was the reason I opened your post via the email link and I was disappointed that it is not a Binance coin but just a normal coin listed by the exchange. Well, I did my research and I do not think it is better in this project than most of the other coins and tokens that have been listed in the past. This is a Defi project, though it has a very promising future, but for now, I advise extreme caution in buying it. This is most importantly due to the way and manner the newly listed coins and tokens on Binance performed of late and this is for obvious reasons in case you do not know.

Even OMNI, if listed at the right time may not have performed woefully as it's doing now. At the moment, the overall crypto market is bearish and so will be almost all newly listed coins regardless of the importance of the project, the exchange that listed it and how it may later perform in the future.

I understand you better now, and truly, there are limitations to what we can buy with Bitcoin, especially in impromptu scope. Even in countries where Bitcoin is a legal tender, there will be many that are unwilling to accept Bitcoin as the mode of payment for obvious reasons. You can imagine the merchant who knows how to speculate the Bitcoin price very well, no one should force such a merchant to accept Bitcoin as a mode of payment when he is very sure that the price would drop in a matter of minutes and extend to days or weeks. This is the risk of Bitcoin aside from the security concerns. That's by the way, many countries are still not accepting Bitcoin even if some merchants in the country can still risk it which makes it minimal. If the overall acceptance of the coin is to be roughly viewed in terms of buying and selling of the daily needs (good and services), I do not think it's still up to 0.001% fr the enter world. This is not about the business transaction but the real use of it like fiat currencies.

This is a sad story but I wonder why you guys will not learn. You left good casinos that are big and reputable with years of track records and minimal complaints and went for Joya.Casino, you guys cannot learn or be smart in thinking. If a well-established casino cheats me, I will accept my fate if my money can't be retrieved back having fully known that I was not gullible in my choice after all. I will only take it as part of life, but this is unlike the casinos which do not have that big name or track record, the risk of dealing with them is too high. Working with good names in many fields has helped me till today and despite investing online since 20 years ago, I am yet to be scammed by any. This is because I think well before commenting my money anywhere and I do my research thoroughly to minimize the cheating potential.

The way the casino acted is so unprofessional as well, and it truly proves that your money was never safe in the first place. Such a casino may only honour a small withdrawal but could give excuses not to pay a sizable amount. Everyone wants to open a casino business, that's the problem.

Thank you for trying to help this guy so far and I feel for you to have been reading his English from the beginning till now. I can only suggest to the guy to find someone who would write the situation better for proper comprehension as his English is obviously bad and not helping the matter.

Notwithstanding, despite his English, I believe he was trying to say that he has already satisfied the condition needed for the withdrawal, so I think that shouldn't take us backwards anymore, even as Joya.Casino did not disagree with that. Nevertheless, what Joya.Casino alleged is not uncommon in a dispute like this, and as usual, no evidence is provided in that regard to truly show that the guy was guilty. Anyone can say anything to cover up something, talk is cheap, it's evidence that proves a fact.

As it is now, I think the OP should post all the initial support responses to be sure whether or not they tally with the claims of Joya.Casino or their claims are mere afterthoughts. What do you think?

You downplayed this actually but true business people don't do that, the ease of dealing with your customers should be your top priority, if not, you might lose a lot of them. Part of the ease of doing business is to provide them with good deposit and withdrawal options that are not burdensome. I just read from a user now on how a betting site that has always been known to allow Bitcoin alone switch to offer more deposit options, and this is for the obvious reason. I doubt if such a casino had not switched, more customers could have been lost.

According to your, fine, the company/individual receiving the money may not care that much if the other party is willing to accept that payment method and/or the cost, but if there is an alternative where such would pay less, your business could be taken elsewhere if you did not provide it. This is practical as the Bitcoin transaction fee can be annoying at times. You can imagine some trying to deposit $50 into a casino's account and the network fee is also $50. Is it reasonable to still go ahead with that deposit plan if it is the only option provided by a casino? And if the casino is not wise enough to have an alternative, don't you think the person will find an alternative?

This is why business people will not base it on "willingness" as you said, but on competitiveness, and will act smart and fast.

He has started crypto trading since 2017 doesn't mean he knows how to trade the futures market. He might only be one of the opportune people to invest in cryptocurrency easily but became greedy and wanted to make more since the crypto market is not performing as many expected in recent times. I can only term that "greed" if that is the case. We should know that the higher our risks, the higher could be the gain and the loss. I feel sorry for this guy!

That is the point, if anyone believes they can make a fortune overnight, they have a higher chance of losing everything instead. Trading has to be done carefully and systematically with the right psychology, trading system and management in play. The guy cannot carefully observe all of these and still lost woefully the way he did. If you do not know how to trade the futures/margin market, never trade it, and if you must trade, let the money and risk management be ringing in your head above all other things else.

Spot trading is almost the same thing as buying your asset in your wallet and keeping it. Why can't the guy opt for this option if not for greed? And the 100% liquidation in Binance is what we all sign for if we are trying to trade Binance futures trading, so Binance should not be blamed in this regard. No one should engage in what they do not know or understand and we should weigh our risks accordingly before taking it.

Are you telling me the guy did not know that the market could go either way, so why can't he plan the 85-90% you are pointing to by the use of a stop loss? All these tools and functions are there, so I see no reason why anyone should blame the exchange. I wonder about the huge risk the guy must have taken for a whole $1M to be liquidated. That must have been a daring attitude which is orchestrated by his greed.

Oh yes, you have to pay your taxes bro if your country demands it and I always encourage people to pay it and not try to play smart in the name of Bitcoin. You may only get covered when it is about the non-custodial approaches, but when it is a custodial and centralised arrangement, you will be exposed. It could even be tough for the government to know if the centralised system is not registered in your country, but in the long run, what if you are a person of interest and you are later exposed? This could be sanctionable or jailable in many country's laws. The thing is that different countries have their tax laws as you stated but I've never seen a country that will exempt you from paying tax on investments, which makes it general.

However, if it is a gain from futures trading, it is still arguably not taxable in some countries, which makes the whole thing complicated. Because if you buy and hold your Bitcoin and also trade it in the futures markets, how do they differentiate the income when they are lumped together? This is often possible if the centralised company is registered in your country and cooperates with the government, they will be able to issue the record on that to the government to know which income to tax and not to tax.

I'm just seeing this, sorry about that. But still, the little I've seen and sensed about this guy, he didn't deserve your loan, the risk is high. It's so possible this is an alt the way I see it and he could be reading this thread and laughing, which is the most annoying part of all. Well, what you do requires risk, that's part of it, but next time, I think a better account than this deserves your loan.

Also, the guy actually might not have planned it that way but for his campaign that might have ended shortly after giving him the loan and his inability to join a new campaign might have caused it as he attempted to join Joya.Casino last month. Regardless, there is no excuse for this at all. The person who has the boldness to ask for a loan should have good repayment plans if such a person has integrity.

That's why there should be plans A and B, if not C to avoid issues like this.
