If you work as a staff member in a physical casino as a dealer or in a sports bookie, I know that there are subtle ways you can use to encourage responsible gambling that will not go against the terms and conditions for staff.
For example, suppose you encounter a gambler who has wagered $200 at the table and is currently winning $6k. Would you express to them, "Hey, you're up $6k, and you initially entered this table with $200. Walk away, Take your winnings, go!" or will you say, "It is very admirable to know when to stop"?
What will you say within your limits to encourage responsible gambling?
That's not how you encourage "responsible gambling", that's being stupid. Since you get paid by the casino, your customers should lose money to the casino so you can get paid. If the players get away with profits all the time, the casino loses money, if the casino loses money, they go bankrupt and you will lose your job. This is common sense bruh. You can't save everybody anyway and responsible gambling is full of bullcrap. It is not the casino's job to encourage responsible gambling. |

I think everyone notice how high the current fee right now on Bitcoin network. I’m sure player like me that relying only on signature campaign payment in Bitcoin is having a hard time to play right now since the fee is insanely high.
How do you deal with this problem? Is there any casino that allows no confirmation to deposit? Let’s say I will send my Bitcoin using fee below average and then play while it’s still unconfirmed. I knew that some casino do have instant deposit but I never try depositing much lower fee to the average fee if they will still credit instantly.
There are 2 solutions. 1- Use the Lightning Network 2- Use some other altcoin The fees are outrageous right now. Lightning Network isn't widely adopted yet and that leaves me no other choice than using alts sadly. My current favorite alt is doge. It only costs a 2-3 doge to make withdrawals from the exchanges and it costs nothing to make regular transactions. It is fairly stable and has good adoption. LTC is my second favorite. You can find these alts almost on every crypto casino. Just don't use btc till it gets its shit together... |

What are you talking abawt? Does BTC affect the market? BTC is THE MARKET. Have you checked the BTC dominance lately? It is 54%. 54% is no joke in a market where everybody create their own crypto every day. So when you ask if btc is affecting the markets, the answer is very obvious. It is always about btc. The other coins are only guests in this game. BTC is the main star. This might change if one day btc dies but i don't think that's happening any time soon.

I'm afraid you're right.
Most Bitcoiners are huge hypocrites, they give zero fucks about freedom, they only care about fiat gains...
Hell, I don't even pay attention to BTC/USD these days anymore (I no longer participate in price discussions). I know the price is rising, but what's the point?
I don't understand why they trade bitcoin for pump and dump... there are many stocks which they can use only for this purpose alone. My guess is, It is probably crypto is the first asset they learned to trade and they think it is the only asset which can go moon. On one hand, we will have bitcoin which will become ultra-institutionalized, fully KYC enabled, censored, high fees (thx to ordinals), good performer against FIAT, available on every exchange On other hand, we will have XMR. Zero KYC, zero adoption, shit price performance (when this is over, will it even have a price i wonder), zero censorship, low fees. We won't even find a place to convert it to FIAT. No legit business will accept it too. :/ *Also, fuck F2Pool. I could at least understand why a wallet would do it, but for a bitcoin miner to violate the decentralization of the network they directly profit from is a mortal sin.
This is what I struggled with the most..the fact that one of the largest pools is openly violating one of the core principles of the network is just shocking. I really want to understand their motivation for censoring the transactions in the first place. Would they even face any legal issues if they simply included the transaction? How does F2Pool benefit from the censorship? Political ass-kissing? Their motivation is simple. They are following the law. Either they censor the tx, or they will go to jail. Is there a business which pay taxes to the gov can say no to "KYC"? Miners pay taxes too. How are they gonna ignore the gov? R.I.P.
We can only solve this problem if we bring home mining back and it ain't coming back. |

Just learned about this. Big if true and it looks like it is. If they can censor any tx they want, since there is no business which don't demand KYC, then bitcoin and the legacy banking are pretty much the same thing now. That's what I was afraid of.
They are getting bitcoin ready for the ETF approval.
Bitcoin is getting "institutionalized".
They are kiling mixers, punishing CZ/Ronaldo, censoring transactions, letting no no-KYC business survive...
Not looking good.
Everybody who cheered for the Blackrock ETF should rethink their actions imo.

I wish they picked a different theme. These people are making themselves a target. I mean it is cool to have some “btc accepted” signs here and there but making the place a crypto bar? Especially when the lawmakers are going hard on crypto, that’s not a good move financially. The police won’t like it too. They’ll keep an extra eye on that place and that’ll spook the visitors. Can they even accept btc legally as a payment method in Bulgaria? If so, than at least it wasn’t for nothing completely.

Since mixers will be soon be rejected on the forum due to the heat they are bringing from the government, do you think that the reputation of the forum and the rejection of these mixers from the forum will be enough to force them to change the way they mix their coins?
A crypto mixer is a crypto mixer. Nobody can change this fact. The biggest problem is that they don't do KYC which is essential to any crypto mixing business because people mix their coins to stay anonymous. The thing is, governments don't like that a bit. They want to know about every crypto user in existence. What they are buying, what they are selling, how much they are holding etc. Non-KYC Casinos used to act like mixers too but those days are long gone because all of them have KYC in their ToS now. |

Ha ha. True that. Basically when a gambler wins the big prize, just don’t ask him how long he has been playing. He may have won $100k recently but when you look at his bets you may see that he wagered way more than $100k. But gamblers don’t make these calculations because they don’t care. They are addicted to that feeling. If they were making calculations then they wouldn’t be playing but hey I am judging anybody. We all have different tastes. Some of us spend our money on some other stupid shit. I like to buy shitty electronic devices which I never used and probably never will for example

A year or two ago these vaccine passports were mandatory. The Schengen zone cancelled it more a year ago I believe, The US was the only country still demanding it and I learned that they too quit asking it. See? It used to be the worldwide emergency, and now they pretend like it never happened.
Didn't take the jab, gave zero fucks and now I can freely travel again.
Millions of people took the jab which they don't know anything about and they'll have to live with that. R.i.p.

C'mon guys. Why the grim faces? It is not the end of the world. There is a world outside this forum too. You can still flip burgers. It is not that bad.  Cheer up  |

I ain't selling them shit. Not my house, not my car, not my cat and definitely not my crypto. They can have this " " if they like. Nothing. I may sell my assets to somebody when the time is right but I decide that, no them. When they come up with a number for your asset, it already means they are going to rip you off. Like you said, it means the asset is worth way more than the price they offer. If you were going to sell this asset anyway, then raise the price and don't let it go cheap. If they don't buy, that's their decision. Tell them to gfy.

You know what's ironic? Some people on this forum staunchly endorse WEF's agenda ("human-made" climate change hysteria, Digital ID, CBDC etc.), but they agreed with your post and even gave you merit.  Why? Because they're afraid of losing their precious mixer income. They still believe Great Reset is a silly, tinfoil hat conspiracy theory for lunatics. They still believe Klaus Schwab is a good guy. I have zero pity for them. They got what they deserve. It's called karma.  This. I have created threads on these topics and they never gathered any attention. Especially the id2020 thread only had 2 posts from the other members. (7 mine, 2 from timelord and franky) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5320484 > Vaccine passports https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5320443 > id2020 The other dude says theymos made a mistake banning the mixer talk like he would do something different. The history of the mankind is the history of hypocrisy. Long story short: "Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die."We indeed deserve what's coming to us. |

You can’t blame alts for the losses you suffered. Eth used to be a small altcoin too but look how it did. Some of those alts will become like eth in the future. The problem is, how are we going to identify them good projects? The first time I saw eth, it was $9. People made fun of it, called it a shitcoin. Me too did the same thing. But eth didn’t go away. It went up and up and up along with btc. People buy alts to find the next eth. It is not an easy task since most of those alts fail lately however, a wise man once said:
“You can never win if you buy no tickets.”

Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster mixers, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor Monero seem to be holding their own.
When they ban XMR-like coins from every FIAT gate in existence, XMR will go back to where btc was at in 2009. Irwin Allen Schiff, John McAffee, Al Capone all went against the government and they all ended up in jail. You don't fuck with the government. |

With these mining fees? Hard to tell. Even if they somehow become valuable, you won’t be able to move them probably. (Unless they are on lightning network but this is another topic) Right now the miner fees are pretty damn high. You need to pay like $5 to move your funds in a reasonable time and imo you should be moving at least $1000 to make that tx fee worthwhile. Otherwise legacy banking is cheaper and faster. (Sadly) Ordinals/nft’s should he rolled back imo. Btc was fine before that update.

This is how a government attack looks like and all that time we thought that bitcoin would survive any gov attacks bla bla bla well... they didn't even put any effort. Imagine what would happen when they ban anything crypto related. Mega fireworks

There is a high chance that account FIODNederland is legit because: The account was created 2.5 hours before fiod.nl published this article, and posted about it 6 minutes after publication. [Quote from archived post, posted by LoyceV] They probably paid the membership fee to post that damn pic lmao Otherwise they'd look like noobs  Another thing is, Vod might be right. (he specifically said that this community is being observed for a long time) The Feds are among us At this point the forum may not survive for long just sayin This community has been under the radar for quit a while, and I know places (like stake.com and nonakip's employer) are going to be taken down by the criminal investigation that follows.
R.I.P stake.com is next. |

I don't know a casino that's completely KYC free anymore. freebitco.in used to be one but they even get to them so, they will indeed ask for your papers when the gov wants it from them. Mixers on the other hand weren't doing any KYC for the obvious reasons. Casinos will survive this mess probably since it is not really different than selling domains online... They sell entertainment. If the casinos also go down, then no legitimate business can sell any products for bitcoins... and just like that crypto dies.

Mixers are going down, Ronaldo is geting a lawsuit for promoting binance, CZ was found guilty... Something is on the move and that something ain't a friend of crypto that's for sure. Everything is happening at the same time for some reason. Ronaldo won't pay shit probably but these news has another purpose. They are spooking the crypto investors. The message is: "if you promote crypto, you may get punished by the authorities".
Maybe the SEC will indeed approve the bitcoin ETF but they want crypto to be just like another gov asset before they do that. "Under control"
