Electrum wallet is still good for new crypto investors if they can't afford an open-source hardware wallet like Trezor but a hardware wallet is still better and more secured than every other wallets available, I have an Electrum wallet that I still use since 2016 and till today I still use it to move my Bitcoin around.

I will like to warn you though, do not keep a lot of money on any wallet apart from hardware wallets, if you can afford to invest a thousand dollars on Bitcoin you can afford a hardware wallet easily.

Keep this in mind and make sure it's part of your plan in the neartes future, as many people somehow feel relaxed after using mobile wallets for a while, thinking nothing can go wrong with the wallet.

The reason for DCA is not because maybe you will need money, that's a different problem, the advantage of gradual DCA is because of volatility in the market, no one knows the top and no one knows the bottom, that's why DCA is very good.

It safe you from going all into an investment where as more volatile attacks the asset, if you will need money you shouldn't invest that money into crypto in the first place, crypto investment is very risky that's why you must invest money you won't need any time sooner.

If you are very careful with yourself and your investment you should always have emergency funds somewhere, and you should also have some money aside to run your daily living and responsibilities, I believe this is the right way to invest in any assets.

VPN is still not an option for me to gamble on online casinos, if we can exclude all countries that put ban on gambling I am sure that the list of countries that don't care are much more in numbers than those that put ban on gambling.

Also, even if there is a ban how will the leaders or governments of such countries know what their citizens are doing in their rooms behind every close doors? If the ban thing is real then it will only work on using Fiat to gamble since that money will come from bank account direct, it will also affect offline gambling dens in such countries, that's all.

I will also like to know the names of countries that put ban on gambling because I believe the numbers won't be much, maybe max of four or five? Now we all know how many countries are around this world, how will this affect gambling in anyway? None, some countries have gambling nature in them and they are the most active gamblers over others, I believe USA is one of such countries.

Luckily DuelBits have an ANN on the Bitcointalk forum, it will be much troubling if this casino is one of those that are not available on the forum, this is why choosing from the list of online casinos on here is the best.

I don't want to believe that this problem is unsolvable, I have made such mistake with a few crypto exchanges before and only two helped when I contacted them through telegram channel, but I was forced to pass KYC verification first, and the amount is not even that much, around 196$ at the time, they refund the money and told me to never repeat such mistake again.

On the Huobi exchange, I made the same mistake, This exchange has a limit point of deposit for every asset available on the exchange, so I deposited below that amount and the fund never reached my account, I contacted them and they said there is nothing they can do about it.

Huobi is considered a big crypto exchange, yet they can't help me out, I think this is a form of punishment for those who lack patience when operating any platform, I learned from my mistake but honestly, they should be able to help.

I hope the same thing won't happen with this OP's case, your best shot is to drop this issue on their ANN and wait for a reply, all the best.

I thought NoTOKYC is an actual online casino at first, anyways.

The link consists of few online casinos that doesn't require KYC before anyone can start gambling, thanks for the information but the problem is this list will go down in few years maybe, and that's because many no kYC casinos have started to ask for KYC verification, there is no way to evade this unless the casino is not popular and well successful yet.

Some times I am even thinking that No KYC is a marketing scheme to attract people, because people do love to gamble without any verification, but running the casino for long is going to be a problem when the regulators come for the casino, there will be nothing else the casino team can do than to proceed with verification or risk getting fined and charges.

My advice to everyone reading this is that casinos are not very far from forcing KYC verification on customers some days, enjoy these while they last.

It's not the casino's fault, it's just the way things are in this world, The government always wants a piece of every pie.

Trading shouldn't be confused with investing, there are two types of crypto investors, the short term investors and the long term investors.

Short term investors buy some Bitcoin or crypto with the hope of making some percentages in a very limited period of time, for example in a few months, when that time comes they take profits and move out of the market until they are ready for another round, mostly after another dip occurs.

Long term investors are those who willing believe in the money making aspect and also the technology, they are ready to make money from Bitcoin and they are also a long term believers, such people will always stay even after they sold their bags, they focus on having more quantities of Bitcoin as year's go by.

Traders cares about price action only, through the fluctuation of prices they make their calls and if they are right they go home with profits, there is no need to wait for weeks, months or years to make money with trading, price actions is what feeds traders, they are not investors.

Bitcoin was banned in my country and later the ban was lifted but I don't trust them because while the ban was ongoing the government ordered all banks to block every bank accounts that have once traded with crypto and Bitcoin one way or the other, later many Bank accounts got frozen, I guess it's better to secretively trade Bitcoin, if you are already using your Bank account for crypto trades you could be in trouble in future.

Government consists of smart people that's why I don't believe they lack understanding about Bitcoin, they understand Bitcoin perfectly and they are in fear of what Bitcoin could be in the future, they want the world's attention on something else, not Bitcoin.

They are also pissed that they can't control Bitcoin, this is an innovation that should have been created by the government themselves, I believe that's what's in their mind, instead a random unknown person created Bitcoin.

It's just a part of been a smart ass gambler

At least you are different from those that gambles based on what people tell them.

I can still see people who are not into sports placing bets on UFC and Football leagues.

The thing is sports data won't tell you what will happen in a match tomorrow.

You will only stay ahead of some people who have no clue.

You are still at risk of losing your money because you don't know how the team or the fighter will play it's game.

Just learn to be more responsible with gambling, every other things comes after this.

There is nothing new that gamblers want from new online casino that's not already out there today, and as for someone who is just starting up their casino I believe they should hire experts in the field of marketing and setting up a good casino.

I can't tell you to start making people win more than losing on your casino, if that's possible you will win over all customers of Stake and other popular online casinos but that's not possible or is it?

Just give up the best customer services, gambling bonuses, fast withdrawal after a jackpot and fun games.

There is one thing that's still missing, something I still can't find in gambling till date, Maybe that's because there is none yet, gambling straight from our crypto wallet and withdrawing instantly, something very close to connecting your wallet to decentralized exchanges kinda operation.

From someone who have two brothers in the family that are gambling addicts, I will like to correct you that not everyone knows that gambling is going to make them to lose money over and over

I have a brother that was introduced to gambling by his school friends, they just introduced him to gambling and he had no clue about how one will mostly keep losing to the casino, he just went ahead and threw all he can.

It was when he kept losing that I heard about his addiction, I was the one that explained to him how casinos are wired, gambling only benefits the makers themselves, not the gambler, I told him to start using what he can afford to lose and when he win he should stop gambling.

Right now he is no more into gambling, but he still gambles once in a while, but at least he understands how casino and gambling works, but honestly not everyone understands this, most people knows after they lost a lot of money or after they become addicted.

Depending on what the press is feeding people, I checked the link out and it's clean, the information on that link is accurate so why are you saying if someone look the press to get news they are lost?

The first time I bought Bitcoin was in 2017 and I summoned my courage to hold because of the past Bitcoin price action, such things give encouragement, there is nothing wrong with looking at the past data history of Bitcoin.

We are all different, some people don't need proof to keep believing in Bitcoin, and as we head into the final battle of the bears, faith will be shaken, doubts will arise and only the strong will prevail, in these cold ❄️ times we can only hope for the best.

There are things many people seem to forget about gambling and casinos.

1. Whatever you do it's for the casino's best interest.

2. Know your gambling limit.

3. When you win it doesn't mean you outsmart the casino.

4. Learn to take your leave when you win or you lose all your limited gambling money.

5. Gamble often to limit your chances of addiction.

6. When you start feeling like borrowing money, there is a chance you are already addicted, Remind yourself and stop, using only what you have at hand and that's if you are willing to lose that amount to gambling.

7. Gambling will forever remain a game of luck, the more you accept this the more cautious you will be with gambling.

I am not protecting defi projects, the majority of them are scam, I do believe that Bitcoin is more reliable than other decentralized practitioners, they are all liars and that's why hacks are happening with DeFi, they can't be caught and they can do all they want, that's why my topic said that Bitcoin is the only true decentralized project that stands on its lane.

Bitcoin protects it's investors, there is never a hack on bitcoin blockchain, but because many projects are ready to deceive the masses in the name of DeFI and Decentralization that's why some people believe them.

We all want decentralization on crypto space to be more than just Bitcoin only, but the truth is I believe there won't be another.

This is the problem with new crypto investors, we want another Bitcoin that's decentralized because we believe that we are too late to the Richie of Bitcoin, Decentralized is not something any developer can just come out and say they can offer, it's probably not true.

Soon you will see them asking for KYC or some type of verification, I can use Ethereum as an example, when it was running the PoW algorithm I believe it's another Bitcoin with smart contract features but after they start saying they are going proof of stake I started to hate the project.

A project starts with a feature that many adopters adopted it for that reason and along the way the project decide to switch into something that looks more centralized, isn't that a betrayal? Bitcoin is the only coin that stays the same.

What is damaged can't be repaired and when it comes to human, we are given the gift of repentance and the gift of will, if you are willing to do anything you will end up doing it, when it comes to gambling addict, there is no amount of remedy, strategy or treatment that can cure your addiction, it's something that's ongoing in the mind and your thoughts, if you can't fix yourself there is nothing that can get you fixed.

These platforms that offers help can only be effective on someone that's just starting out his or her gambling, when they know what's ahead of them they can always evade the bad side of gambling, but for someone who is already an addict, only such person can cure it's addiction.

There was someone who I knew, he was a gambling addict, his mother took him to church and the pray every day for him, this went on for months, and when he got back home things looked normal and he at one point said he will never gamble again, until all eyes are no more on him, today he is no more alive, he died with many debt on his neck.

Filling up the urgent needs from gambling? This never happened to me before, The money I made from gambling came unexpectedly and since my business is what I use to take good care of myself and my spouse I do not expect anything from gambling, I only gamble when I have extra money on me that has no other purpose.

I used to gamble with whatever I had until I learned the act of responsible gambling, honestly, it's not easy to be a responsible gambler unless you are not already addicted to gambling.

How you make money in your life always has its impact too, if you are making money as a married person, you will have enough to fill every hole, like responsibility in your home, your spouse and kids, your investment, and your gambling too.

Whatever I plan on doing though, gambling comes last.

Never happened to me before but I have read online about people who are affected by glitches when gambling online, I think this is old because right now when glitches occurs the gambling platform should know and they will refund immediately, if they don't it's either your money is still intact and the glitch is from your side or you get refund after refreshing the website.

If your money is deducted and you don't do anything before the glitch happened you have the right to raise an alarm and the team will look into it for you, if they can't help it means the platform sucks and you should not gamble on there anymore.

Online casinos are built differently, I believe such a problem shouldn't be affecting gamblers anymore, there is extra layers of gambling experience and games are audited by trusted auditing firms.

Unfortunately, the word DEFI is more like a complete joke in crypto space today, there are things I am seeing that I am not linking about crypto and the funny thing is these people think we are stupid.

The most important part of crypto and blockchain to me are

-Defi
- P2P
- Privacy

Yes I don't really like anything CeFi and Centralized, but it seems these people are calling us stupid, why?

How can a centralized platform that have build up its name and reputation in crypto space claim they have a decentralized feature to offer people?

If they are already well known how can they successfully run decentralization? You want examples? Here we go

Coinbase for example now have a swap exchange that they claimed its true decentralized, running on base, a project layer 2 from the coinbase team.

Binance, another centralized exchange, offering a peer to peer service, something that should happened between two people only, even if because of successful transaction to be carried out, why centralized entity involvement?

I mean if Binance was decentralized right from day one, wouldn't this be cool? This is why I think decentralization is a complete joke in crypto today, any parties can just come out and they say they offer both.

It's annoying and this is why Bitcoin is different, I think nothing can really be decentralized as Bitcoin again.

There is no such thing as senseless bets until you lose, if it's the other way around you won't call it senseless, there are some people who took the biggest risk and it worked for them, The truth is gambling has no other definition to it, gambling is gambling.

There is a particular behavior I hate that some gamblers are very good at, that's putting their own faults on other people, blaming people for their losses, these types of people are not only ridiculous kinds, they are also dangerous people, because they can confuse themselves that those who they are falsely blaming are really responsible and they can start thinking about hurting them.

It's why some gamblers turn to criminals because they lost money to gambling, they can't withstand their own faults and failure and they go out looking for someone to pay for their own mistakes and losses. There is nothing more disgusting than this, some people are generally fuxk up, with twisted minds.

Apart from the fact that people don't care, many people still can't sacrifice some minutes to read through casinos terms and conditions, They get tired of reading when they open ToS because it's full of words, and yet they plan to use VPN on their own, I don't know how they come up with the idea when the online casino is not saying anything about using VPN or Not, I will like to ask a casino customer care services about this question and see how they will respond to it, just for fun sake.

Rules and regulation is very important in every aspect, either online or offline, keeping to the rules and regulations will safe gamblers from someone taking advantage of them, it's just like the cop at stop and search routine, if you don't break any rules and the cop still want to deal with you, maybe because of hates or other reasons they will start finding every possible way to get you nailed, the only way to stay ahead of them is you not breaking a single rule.
