Sorry about the delay! I'm on the road with sort of limited internet access and I've been celebrating my birthday AND I got engaged yesterday so have been kept busy.

Well, let me try playing a devil's advocate here

Indeed, knives can be used for anything other than being kitchen inventory, including a murder weapon. But you can't ban knives because their home use (other than homicide, obviously) by far exceeds their other uses. Thus it is out of the question as entirely impractical. Further, some varieties are actually banned from possession unless you have a license (e.g. hunting knives and anything looking more like a sword than a knife). On the hand, banning Bitcoin will not have a lot of side effects and unintended consequences apart from a bunch of nerds wining and crying over here and over there. Simply put, banning Bitcoin is not a big deal

hello gamblers
many players are complaining about the way they always get busted, they keep playing in the same way and they are doing nothing but making their loss bigger. the point here is not about greed or being greedy, its all about the right time to stop which is very hard since no one can predict the next move in gambling. many players make good profits but they keep playing instead of stoping, and it always leads to one result,,,bust. how ? once they make good profits and starts to lose they refuse to accept the defeat and keep playing to recover, and it ends up losing all they have, the case here is not about greed, but about accepting defead. once you accept the loss and say ( its enough losing ) you can take what left from your profit, do it over and over and you will make a good profit.
if you want to be successful in gambling accept the defeat first, and the game is all yours.
best of luck rolling

These three points are very true. Anything can be used as a criminal tool, depending on the user. It's just that, it's different when it comes to bitcoin, which basically becomes a taboo for ordinary people. Even though there are many benefits that can be obtained, the explanation is very reasonable by the OP.

Hello:
I am new to cryptos and I must say that my first experience has been a bad one, I recently visited antminerusa.com and purchased some hardware, that was about 10 days ago, I paid using BTC, now the site is no longer available, its been down for 3 days maybe a bit more, this lead me to think this website is a scam.  Now what should I do to recover my BTC, if the purchase where made using a credit card, I would report it to my bank and they could void or cancel payment, but with BTC what should I do?, if there is nothing that I can do, then it is obvious that using cryptos is a scammers paradise because there is no protection to buyer (that I know), unless there is a way to introduce the complain in the chain in order to reverse payment.
This is the transaction id 30dc4f431ac3db1949b330ab8cd31d1bb019d4831e24cd7cd7f4215fca73073b if anyone could share some light I would appreciete it.

The amount of news on hacking, money laundering, drug trafficking and others that involve cryptocurrency or bitcoin seems to never run out. has become a natural law there are always two sides to this life. There is a right there left, there is a good one that is bad. so also in the world of crypto, bitcoin and others. But we must agree together that all return to their own people, want to use it all for good or evil. So there is no side of crime in bitcoin, because bitcoin is just a tool used. The evil is the human mind that directs it.

I am having an issue here every gambler or some sport person knows that football matches can be fixed. Players, coaches, football and referees can be bought off to swindle the match in the favour of the buyer.
I was in a heated argument with my colleague that it's difficult to fix matches played in big leagues like the English premier league, LA liga, French league, German league, Italian seria A,
You would not get away with trying to fix matches in those league and the fear of the penalties will send chill running down their spin.
What's your take on this can matches can be fixed in those league and go free

Gambling is not life but risk or game! We are here because we can take a risk and not every human being can do that. Many investors and gamblers are not in the right set of mind now because they take gambling too far to the extent of becoming addicted to it and as such degenerated and at that level I will say it is not gambling that is bad but the gamblers become greedy for gain.

Thats right because this games are really have more needed skills that you will know if who are the best players to use especially a strategy that to defeat their opponent. Just like on other games, DOTA is really unpredictable if who will win, but its based on their players if how good they are. Dota is an addicted, especially on my country, but it has a great benefits to the players.

How can you keep playing while you have won a lot before, honestly what you did was a big mistake. Indeed, gamblers will difficult to stop playing when they feel comfortable and get big profits, can be said they addicted. I think type of gambler like you have to control your emotions and don't get greedy.

Because gambling is risky so of course if you play all of your money you become destitute. Many people became poor because they gamble everyday until their money all gone. But it's their choice fo play even they know the consequences they still play in gambling and only some of them are lucky and most of them losing more money until they become poor.

I'm thinking here, is there any online casino that shows in a clear way the algo they used?

Like the odds of any game...

If anyone know how they write the scripts, please share with us, I'm curious to know how they calculate to work

All those "methods" and "strategies" are just gamblers fallacy. Indeed they may help you reduce your loss in the short run, but the results are always the same in the long run. The house will always win no matter what strategy you apply. There is no way you can break the system of gambling unless there is some sort of bug or miscalculation in the casino that can be abused for your advantage. So just fuck all those strategies and just play however you want. If you get lucky you win or else you lose.

Hardwork per say mostly works in situations were there is a guarantee of achieving similar result if previous steps are been repeated over and over again but since in gambling entirely, your previous success doesn't guarantee future results (succes), hardwork then doesn't have much role to play but can still be useful as hardwork does brings about experience which is an advantage in some specific games like sport betting etc.

I'm not a lottery enthusiast, perhaps if I am a believer of lottery certainly I will buy it online using bitcoin payment.
But I think there is risk buying lottery online, because if ever you win in lottery, is there a chance for you to have or claim
it? Just suddenly came up into my mind.

It doesn't need pure luck, gambler use the martingale strategy because they don't believe in pure luck, they likely want to make sure they will win all the time using this risky gambling method.

I dont think its a "I want to save time" problem. Some users mentioned that they think their winning rate is reduced since the animations are in place.
Speaking for myself I cant commit that, my luck is as bad as always when I roll  

No coupons for the celebration of the released crash game? Not begging though, just ask it because Stake always give free coupon whenever there is big update or an addition to the site.
A month to go for the 2nd anniversary, probably the big promotions will come on the anniversary day as I believe it will ge a great day to be missed by all Stake's players. Set a reminder on your calendar guys so you wont miss to say something for Stake.

They did a poll.

They didn't hand pick Ripple. People wanted it, Stake.com delivered. However, I am not sure if these polls were completely honest. People can create multiple accounts to vote and Ripple bois are famous for the massive amounts of bot-like shilling on twitter and reddit, so...

I believe CMC has the biggest role in this bullshit. Whatever credibility/fame Ripple has now they owe it to CMC. If these noobs didn't list that PoS in the first place Ripple wouldn't even exist now.
