They have creative idea to do their business. If you have marketing budget but don't know how to use it effectively, you will not get good result from your marketing. Roobet team did their great job by spending big fund for marketing and hired a perfect manager Hhampuz for their marketing campaigns including contests.

With good prize pool, they have great chance to attract best applicants and make a lot of noise in and beyond forum. It is how marketing works and makes domino effects. Roobet is a first casino I knew that they run different contests from art designs to their game challenge. Together with their signature campaign, their casino does have very good appearance and noise in Bitcointalk.

Miners have their businesses but they don't have to stay at any location and nation because of any lifespan contract. All are temporary and they are flexible on where they locate their mining farms. If they feel the local government and / or electricity source is no longer friendly and cheaply with their operations, they will switch to other locations and nations.

Since the Mining Migration by China Mining Crackdown, many big farms move to neighbourhood nations like Kazakhstan which becomes one of biggest nations for Bitcoin Mining and the USA. Now and in future, if regulations on Mining change in USA. like USA Mining Crackdown, miners will move to other nations.

Data on mining and where miners come from are not correct because we can not know where they are actually from just base on their IP addresses.

Many Assumptions in methodology of CBECI's data collection

If that casino requires KYC, you should complete it before make deposit and bet. Like I use exchanges, I don't open account and make deposit if my account does not have KYC successful verification. If I deposit and KYC fails, I will feel panic as I can lose my coins if my second, third KYCs and after all fail.

It is common when casino requests KYC after a player wins big and submit a withdrawal request.

Why did your friend KYC fail? Your friend can resubmit it with photo taken under better light, natural day light and best to avoid taking photo for your KYC at night.

They have to do many things like submit and obtain a license, operational cost, maintenance cost and security for their ATM. I agree that such fee is expensive and if you have other options to choose, Bitcoin ATM should not be your choice as there are many better options for you.

That person did not pay attention on given rate and fee before proceeding the purchase and got a big loss.

There are alternatives for hardware wallets like cold wallets, multi-signature wallets with SPV wallet softwares like Electrum wallet. If you don't afford to buy a hardware wallet from official store, don't buy second-hand hardware wallet. You can always use alternatives which are safer and free to use.

Electrum wallet is free for download and use. If you want to use it as a cold wallet or multi-signature wallet, you only have to learn a little bit and can set up yours.

Here is the latest report for Bitcoin ATM market dynamics March 2023. The decrease of Bitcoin ATMs globally trend is continuing and has yet stopped.


I believe with more regulations and stricter ones on Bitcoin, Peer-to-Peer marketplaces (LocalBitcoins, LocalCrypto, Paxful closed their business recent months), Bitcoin ATMs will be challenged more by governments and we will see more ATM closures in future.

Custodial vs. Non Custodial Wallets - "Not your keys, not your coin" Explained.
[General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why?

Custodial wallets are like exchange, online accounts and you only have a public address that is given to you by that exchange, that online platform. You don't own a private key of that public address, so you rely on that platform to receive and spend your bitcoins. It's not your coins, it's that platform coin.

Non custodial wallets are different and you own its private keys, you own your coins. You are completely free to do everything you want with your coin with coin control features.

Hardware wallet is most recommended because when you spend your coins, you don't have to leak your private key to Internet, so no risk to be hacked. Of course, there are back doors if you buy second hand hard ware wallets from bad people.

It is only not allowed in your posts.


However it is allowed and forum does not moderate scam.

Only forum community discourage advertising (in signature) for scam projects. DT members will tag you if you do it and ignore their warnings.

Oldest user is unclear. I am guessing what you want to ask.

Do you want to find oldest user in their registration date and still be actively in forum?
- It is BitcoinFX. The user engaged in the Pizza deal that makes us a Bitcoin Pizza day.

Do you want to find oldest user in real identity and still alive, still actively use the forum?
- It is Jet Cash. 79 today and still going strong in 2021.

Governments do want to control their citizens and do everything to protect their systems. Even in world of freedom with democracy, governments will not let their citizens to do everything they want and create things to challenge power of governments.

Because Satoshi did had a vision that Bitcoin will be able to challenge traditional central bank systems and when it is big enough, governments will try figuring out who is Satoshi Nakamoto.

His departure gives Bitcoin to community. Nobody can individual affect Bitcoin protocol or can impact community with a single tweet. If Satoshi Nakamoto tweet, his tweets can lift market up and down a lot.

Altcoins are fully controlled by their founders, core teams and technically, those coins can be decided by internal guys. DAO votes are non sense if most of vote powers belong to founders and core teams.

Time already answers it for them and the answer is strong. Bitcoin is not dead!

They hated Bitcoin and accused it to dead but after about 500 times like this, Bitcoin is not dead.

Bitcoin obituaries (Bitcoin has died 473 times).
Bitcoinisdead chart. The chart is interesting as we at witnessing less and less "Bitcoin is dead" callings when Bitcoin has bigger adoption.

Similar to attacks like "Bitcoin is a fraud" which has become less and less with time. Less people think Bitcoin is a fraud since 2009.

Mentality of Manchester City is stronger than PSG because they usually play in Premier League which is a more competitive league than Ligue 1. They both did not win Champions League but performance of Manchester City is more stable and better than PSG.

I believe sooner or later Manchester City will win Champions League and they need to have a lucky season to win it. Beating Bayern Munich will be a big task for Manchester City but if they beat this strong opponent, they can aim at semi final with higher confidence. Likely Real Madrid will be an opponent for them in semi final but I don't think Manchester City will feel fearful when opponents are big clubs in Champions League like Real and Bayern. They want to win it and have to big all strongest competitors there.

The comeback of Haaland is important for Manchester City as he understands Bayern Munich and their players after some seasons in Bundesliga with Dortmund.

However, it has disadvantage that Bayern Munich do have good information and understand about Haaland too. Anyway Haaland actually helps Manchester City to have more options in their attacking and even he can not score goals for them, his appearance is important. If Bayern Munich players  focus too much on Haaland, they might less focus on other players and Manchester City has many players can score goals.

It is not always Bitcoin up, Ethereum down. Recent months, Ethereum and some top altcoins hold their prices when Bitcoin moves up and BTC Dominance increases a lot. Ethereum very likely to break out its resistance and I believe it will have its big bull run but only a recovery in bear market. After Ethereum, some top altcoins, old altcoins will recover considerably.

I am not so sure about shit coins whether they will have their shows after all.

Conflict, no.

It's capital flow in cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin will pump first, then it cools down and capital will pour to Ethereum to pump ETH. The pump of ETH is a condition and a trigger for an altcoin season.

You see the capital flow from BTC > ETH > Top altcoins > Shit coins. After that, market will be in a bloodbath to reset and wash out greedy gamblers.

It is not all about why they failed.

They can have a trading plan or don't have it at all. They can have a good trading plan or a bad one. However, biggest reasons that cause to their failed trading are

First of all, they don't understand the Psychology of market cycles
Next, they failed to control themselves and let their emotion (greed, fear, uncertain) affects them too much.

If they don't understand a first one and can not master to control a second one, no trading plan can help them to succeed in either trading or investment.

Best time to gamble when you can gamble responsibly that helps you to avoid big losses and lose control of yourself. But when is such time?

When you mind is fresh, when you have no stress in your life, when you don't have to gamble to hunt for money to use.

Playing slot games will depends on more factors on casinos and their regular schedule to fill up their prize pool. It is not only related to your personal issues like mood, pressure, stress ...

The article above is about best time to play Slot games, not best time for gamble in general.

You mixed your guide with trading and investment but I guess you wanted to write this guide for trading only.

Awesome Crypto Trading is a free source to learn about Basic Trading.

You wrote about Start small with trading that is good and I want to add one point. By starting small, you will have other small capital pieces to restart your trading after your first, second, third trading piece ends with failure and you lose most of that capital piece.

I don't know how many capital pieces is needed to change a newbie trader from failed one to successful one? Ten times or twenty times or more, I don't know, it's personal issue but I am sure it is not easy to be a successful trader.

It's correct but it's not enough. You must store your BTC in non custodial wallets and must back up that wallets safely too.

It's only good if you know when to trade swing and when you should not. If you trade swing when market is about to change its direction, you will lose your bitcoin by selling low, waiting for lower price to buy back but bitcoin soars and you end that trade with buying back at much higher price. You end it with less amount of BTC than when you started.

If you use leverage, hold your position over night is terrible idea. Some days, you can wake up and see your account is mostly emptied by margin call and liquidation.

A more detailed Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

No doubt about ability of Tuchel as he got good management results in Mainz, Dortmund, PSG and Chelsea. Bayern Munich have a good squad and they have winning tradition so it would be more easily for Tuchel to work with them than with PSG. In addition, in Bayern Munich, star players don't have big privileges like PSG gave their star players. It is great success as Bayern Munich already took over the first position from Dortmund and they are on a good track to win Bundesliga.

Manchester City and Pep Guardiola won't feel comfortable after Bayern Munich got that big win over Dortmund. They got a signal that Bayern Munich are actually strong from their matches with PSG (in round of 16) and with Dortmund days ago. They would feel fearful about history of Tuchel to win Champions League as an alternative coach in middle of season.

They did not perform well in Champions League but just bounced enough after a bad streak in both Premier League and Champions League to beat Dortmund in a second leg of round of 16 and went to quarter final.

Even in that second leg match, Dortmund had some opportunities to have goals and only luckiness could help Chelsea to win 2 - 0 that is enough for them to beat Dortmund in aggregated result.

A new coach of Chelsea won't have enough time for a first match with Real Madrid in quarter final. Real Madrid just got a big win in La Liga with a hattrick from Benzema who surely will be a dangerous threat for Chelsea defense.

Around Europe, Chelsea don't have many good coaches who are free agents at the moment to choose. Zidane, Pochettino are best for them as they are experienced coaches in Champions League. Zidane is far-reaching for Chelsea because he wants to manage a winning team, not a team in trouble. Pochettino can be a best choice for Cheslea but will they appoint him in next days?

A big loss at their home stadium is bad for Napoli but it is a good alarm for them before Champions League returns. It wakes them up from very good streak and know that AC Milan are actually strong and can beat Napoli in direct matches. In a long league, Napoli can be better than AC Milan but in knock-out matches, AC Milan are able to be winner.
