Casinos didn't have KYC policies before governments began to mandate it so I doubt that they can continue to demand it if the government doesn't need it. But I doubt that KYC requirement from gamblers is going to stop because of it's success in reducing money laundering so it has come to stay permanently. Casino owners are business people and they wouldn't care if criminals are gambling their money, provided that they're making profits. No business person will ask how you made your money when you want to spend it on their products or services, they're happy to collect your money and let the authorities worry about you intentions of patronizing them.

Bitcoin investment is a business where people, institutions and governments can buy and sale it. I'm personally not making a bid deal about why the German government should sale their BTC at this time, the important thing is if they're selling at profit, if the Bitcoin were seized or they bought when price was $20k and are offloading it now, then I think that they're not doing so at a lose. They will probably divert or reinvest the funds gotten from their sale of Bitcoin into another asset that will benefit their economy, it's not necessary for them to hodl Bitcoin as a national reserve.

Gamblers should be dynamic and not stick to one patten, you can bet on your favorite team today and feel like betting on the upsets or underdogs tomorrow. There's really no need to be rigid in gambling, that will take the fun out of it, just go with the flow and follow your guts to bet on the team that you think will win a match. I think that it's best to bet on a favorite team to win in a match because they're a favorite for a reason, there's a high chance of the favorite to win against an underdog, although upsets can still happen. Nobody can take the luck factor away from any game, it's the final whistle that will determine the winner of a match, so bet who your mind tells you to with the amount that you can afford to loose.

It's true that whether the German government sold their Bitcoin off or they perhaps deposited them on exchanges, it has generated a negative impact in the market. This goes to show that news is one major factor that affects Bitcoin demand and supply, hodlers reacts to these news either to panic and sale or FOMO and buy. I tend to agree with the members who are of the opinion that it's most probable that they sold off all their Bitcoin. Whether it's whales that are offloading their bags, institutions or governments, it's effect on Bitcoin price will only be for the short term, so I'll just hodl and wait for bull run.

There's no accurate predictions on either gambling or crypto trading, however both have different levels of risks. Gambling doesn't require much skills, infact most games doesn't require any skills to play, they just depends on luck to win. Whereas crypto trading is hard and requires learning it's fundamental and technical analysis before understanding what the determinants are before placing trades. So trading requires the trader to learn the necessary skills to become a professional trader and that makes it to be more profitable because he understands the crypto market. Meanwhile for gambling, especially casinos games and lotteries are based on luck. It's only when someone is trading without any experience that you can liken him to a gambler, a professional trader is more profitable than the two.

Dis na very sad news and my condolences to di families of students wey don lose dem lives for dis unfortunate incident. Di issue of collapsed buildings no be new thing for dis country, property owners and engineers go de manage materials wey dem suppose to take build upstairs make e de solid and withstand di test of time. Government wey suppose to de evaluate di structures sometimes dem officials sef go fit to collect bribe and allow substandard building materials and also approve buildings wey no reach standard. So for dis rampant building collapse matter na both di builders and di government officials wey de approve buildings get di blame and di authority suppose hold dem accountable for di lose of innocent lives.

I think that play till you win mindset is a common desire among gamblers but it doesn't have to be on one day. Where it becomes a problem is when a gambler is chasing his loses on a particular day till he wins, there's a high chance that he will exhaust his bankroll and never get that win. Gambling responsibly is having a budget for the amount that you intend to gamble with and never exceed the planned amount whether win or lose. Main factor of irresponsible gambling is being obsessed with chasing loses and it is a road to addiction.

I think that different factors plays out to determine the price of Bitcoin at different times and I cannot deny that the impact of whales buying and selling is one of the major determinants. I don't bother much about looking for basis for Bitcoin speculations because they can only be for a short time, I know that whatever it is whether it's whales dumping, a country offloading their bags or some global news, it won't count for long term hodling. I buy, hodl and wait for as long as it takes because I have faith that events will happen that will always skyrocket price and there'll always be new ATH.

Cryptocurrency in general don help to create jobs for our country, especially for di youths wey be like say dem no get directions before now. E don create avenues for people to become self employed, instead to de go search for jobs wey de very scarce to get. So job creation na one of di biggest ways wey Bitcoin and altcoins don take better our economy, many Nigerians de into crypto trading, some na vendors for exchanges and others de hold cryptocurrency to sale and make profits, Aldo you need to DYOR because of plenty scam projects before you buy, dat na why e de advisable for newbies to hodl only Bitcoin wey be di most reputable cryptocurrency.

You question about how di less privileged fit to take afford Bitcoin, di answer na to buy am or if person reward or gift am to a less privileged person. Di truth be say e no de easy for a jobless person or person wey no get any single source of income to invest or do crypto trading business. Cryptocurrency na profit and lose business wey you fit to lose all your money, except for Bitcoin investment on di long term, so you need money to buy coins/tokens to trade or hold, e no go get head without money. That na why you need a job or skills wey go de give you steady income before you go diversify di money into cryptocurrency business.

When you gamble and have a huge win, don't be greedy and continue gambling to increase the win because there's a huge chance that you can loose everything. If you must continue to gambling for any reason, it's better to only gamble with the bankroll that produced the win and withdraw the won amount. If you lose the bankroll that you used to gamble again, then it's not too bad because you still have the actual amount won minus the capital. Gamblers needs to learn how to gamble on budgets, when you have diminished that budget whether you win or lose it's best to quit for the day.

Time will tell what these new trend of telegram mining apps will bring, whether it'll be increased adoption for cryptocurrency or devaluation of it. But I think that because of the success of NOTCOIN, many people are rushing into cryptocurrency via these mining apps. Most of then don't even know about the many scams that are in the crypto space, they think that all of them will give guaranteed airdrops reward like Notcoin. This misconception will give room for many of these ignorant people to be scammed and they will end up labeling cryptocurrency as scam. The trend has tremendous increased crypto awareness but I doubt that it will last, especially if they don't live up to the Notcoin expectations.

I think that it's best that gamblers should buy their tickets without worrying about whether they'll hit the jackpot. Calculating how much you have spent on purchasing tickets is also not important because the probability of winning the jackpot is less than 0%. Just go with the flow and if you win, be happy about it because if you didn't there's nothing that you could do about it. It doesn't help to calculate and compare your win with what you've lost, that is chasing loses mentality and is a road to gambling addiction.

Most developers of altcoins are more interested in making profits and cashing out, they don't priotized innovations and going concerns. This is the main reason why we have too many abandoned projects in the crypto space because they're moving on to new ones, hype them, gather investors funds and exit scams, leaving the project dead. That is why it's not advisable to hold most altcoins for long, there futures are not certain, just invest the amount that you can afford to loose, sale if the token pumps and exit. There are more altcoins than you will care to count and it's the reason why we have so many dead coins in the crypto market, gamble your funds with the amount that you can afford to loose.

If we're talking about online gambling, then my preference is definitely cryptocurrency, especially because I hold cryptocurrencies so it is convenient for me to use them for gambling. Providing bank details for gambling is not a good option for me, except for physical bet shops where I can make payments in fiat, it's all about cryptocurrency. Bitcoin and usdt stablecoins are my preferences, but mostly stablecoins because of Bitcoin volatility and occasional mempool congestions.

I wouldn't doubt that Donald trump's sudden massive interest in Bitcoin is because of what he stands to gain if he aligns with it. Money and votes are the two things that can get him the presidency and being a pro Bitcoin is one big way to achieve this aim, most young voters are Bitcoin compliant and his supporters can donate to his campaign with Bitcoin. I think that it's a smart move for him to speak at the Bitcoin conference, whether he promotes Bitcoin or not if he becomes president doesn't stop the massive adoption of the digital cash. Bitcoin has come this far without Trump and Biden, giving it deserved recognitions, so no notable individual can stop what Bitcoin stands for.

I guess that their shutting down must be due to their strict regulations on KYC and their customers started to loose interest in their gambling services like the OP did. The OP didn't complain about them being a scam casino when he was gambling in their site so their planned closure could not be because of bad reputation, most probably they're not making profit anymore.

I commend Maverick games for giving notifications to their customers to withdraw their funds before their closure. I also thank the OP for starting a thread on it to disseminate the information so that gamblers that have funds with them and are not aware of the information will take note and do the needful.

OP wasn't explicit enough about where his thread is driving at but I'm in line with your thoughts about his meaning. In my journey of financial literacy I've come to understand that savings and investments are secondary needs, an income earner needs to satisfy his basic needs which are primary before attending to secondary needs. Your upkeep for the duration that your income will last before another one will come is the most important and basic requirements of your income, neglecting them and saving the money in the bank is not the best financial decision.

Not taking money from the money that is saved in the bank to take care of yourself and loved ones is not worth it. Taking money from your savings to cater for you and your family's healthcare and prudently taking money to help your loved ones are very important. Your well-being and that of your loved ones should be a priority to you.

Save money for short term expenditures in the bank or stablecoins if there is inflation in your country and invest money that you want to keep on the long term on a valuable asset like Bitcoin.

I totally agree with you that continuous exercise is very good for the body, even if it's not done everyday or weekly. Finding time to regularly engage in exercising the body is very rewarding to the body, mind and soul, the good feelings that you get after strainous sets of workouts is very satisfying. You feel strong and healthy, and when it's time to hit the mattress and pillows at night, you'll sleep like a baby.

In the last 11 days I was able to pushup in 5 days, with a total of 432 + 1968 = 2400. My report 100k,Kelward,38,2400,2024-07-10

Online gambling comes with a lot of convenience for gamblers, their popularity is increasing everyday due to their many edge over physical casinos. It's true that gambles have better chances of winning in online gambling than the physical ones and this is a big advantage that the online gambling has. Since the inception of online gambling, many people have picked interest in gambling, they don't need to visit a physical gambling outlet to gamble.

Although we can not blame the physical casinos for having higher house edge, they need to pay bills for their cost of operations, like rent, electricity and staff. Also physical casinos and bet shops are where gamblers meets physically and socialize which is a way to have fun while gambling.

Di majority of people wey de invest in Bitcoin on di short term na newbies, unto say dem think say na only pump price de go, dem no know say we de experience massive dump for Bitcoin. Experienced person for Bitcoin wey de invest for short term na wen di price de continuously pump and during bull run, dem fit to try am because probability dey say di price go still de increase. Bitcoin de volatile and di price movement fit to change at anytime from pump to dump so di investment on the short term wey plenty profit never enter de risky.
