I doubt that you had so many wins and did not ever make a screenshot or a photo of these wins. Don't get me wrong, if you actually did it it's great and I envy you, but in the Internet everybody is a winner

If you set yourself a goal like for you it's a million dollars but you keep starting with low bets like 10k or something similar, you'll never make it. Statistically the more x you want to get it get's progressively harder. Getting 2x is easy, 10 x is very hard, but you're already winning 100x, like with your 1-100k bet and it's still not enough for you. You would like to see a miracle where you turn 1k into a million and it's probably not going to happen. You're really lucky and you're wasting it.

I guess you were born in the late 80s, early 90s. Great times! I was born in the 80s myself and I remember the times times when we would get together with friends and have fun outside. We'd play ball, chase each other, race remote controlled cars, shoot water guns and then go back home to watch cartoons before going to bed. Best times of my life.

Nowadays kids don't even talk. They go outside, sit on benches and write each other messages on facebook or play games on their phones. They can't even talk like normal people just answer with gifs and memes.

That's why Russians are now saying that they did not blow it up because they made a mistake. They drowned their own people who were stationed along the banks of the river and damaged the power and water supplies to their own, occupied land. Land that they were supposed to protect from nazis. Now they're going to blame the Ukrainians just like they did with that downed Malaysian flight.

And here's how the protection is going. Russians will come to liberate you with tanks, rape your women, kill your dogs, murder men in cold blood, steal your cars and washing machines, drink all your alcohol and then blow up a dam or a nuclear power plant and destroy what's left. If I were to find myself under the protection of RF, I'd pack my bags and run West.

Bitcoin doesn't need our help, it's doing great actually. Exchanges are being targeted because they were peddling shitcoins.

I've been saying it for years that I don't trust Binance and CZ and I don't trust tether, bnb and all the rest of these unnecessary tokens that only confuse the average user into thinking they're all the same. That they're all "crypto" and it doesn't matter what you get, you should get a number of these shitcoins so you don't have all your eggs in one basket.

The deal with CZ is that he was trading on his own exchange and manipulating the markets and he wasn't sharing any data with any auditors. It was all "safu" and all fine and dandy until he was making money. CZ doesn't care about bitcoin, he just wants his listing fees and he likes making $$$. Crypto is just a horse he wants to keep riding until it dies and then there's going to be another horse and another.

Should we do something? Clap maybe that shitcoin peddlers are running out of time? Since Bitcoin is not a security there will eventually be bitcoin only exchanges. Just a matter of time.

Let's not make a bigger deal out of it than it really is. The data breaches were related to customers who purchased their devices directly from ledger and all the breach revealed was their shipping addresses, so it wasn't such a big deal. If you were actively using online stores for the last 10 years, your address is being included in hacked databases sold on deep web anyway. Many people, including me, bought our ledgers from resellers, and we were not affected by that.

I agree that their recent update is unnecessary and in breach of the basic rules of self custody, so I recommend not updating your ledger if you have one and slowly thinking of a new wallet, because one day that update may become mandatory and then you'll become vulnerable. Still with that last update ledger is safer than your average exchange.

As for wallets, I recomend blockstream jade or keystone. Keystone is easier to use but more bulky and supports a number of shitcoins, so if you're not into that and support bitcoin only wallets choose jade. Both have qr scanners and run on batteries, so they're much better than ledger nano.

I like to play extremely safe so I use 100% of my bankroll, but deposit a new one with each bet, effectively spending not more than 1% of my monthly pay.
Let's say there's a sports event coming and I'm making $1k a month. I will deposit $10 to casino and bet all of that on the team or a fighter (when it comes to boxing or MMA) that I like.

I don't bet a lot of money, for me it's more important to have an active bet than actually make money doing it because it makes watching the match more exciting. I also never hold a lot of money on these sites. It's deposit > 1 bet > withdrawal > deposit > 1 bet > withdrawal.

I'm not trying to defend OP here, but as the old saying goes: there's always the first time. The fact that there were no accusations prior to this one doesn't change anything.
Do you remember Terra Luna? It wasn't scamming people until it did scam all of them.

A week is a lot of time, to be honest. The longer it takes the worse it will look for the casino, even if eventually they'll return his money. Actually, from a PR point of vies, at this point it woud've been better if they could prove that OP was at fault. At least that would explain why it took so much time (evidence gathering).

It's actually funny when you say it, because the US has been targeting individuals and companies outside its jurisdiction for many years.


I see this as a PR move by Gensler, whose reputation was tarnished by FTX. He was in fact attacked in the congress for talking with SBF in private. His attack on crypto exchanges is a way of showing his superiors that he's not in cahoots with the biggest players in this industry.

I felt a little bit of it after losing, but it helps me to always think of my bet as lost from the start. There's always that small amount of hope which turns into regret when you eventually realize the money is gonw, but with the right attitude you can get over it.

Bottom line, remorse and regret are normal emotions that you face when you lose something and it doesn't matter if it's money, property, someone close to you, even an opportunity.

They're in fact looking like complete fools by obeying FATF, which has no power over any country. It actually has no power at all. It's up to you whether you want to listen to them or not and they know it. That's why all they do is post "recommendations" but cannot make countries play by their rules.
Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is a joke. A puppet on a string. If an elected government of a country bows before such an organization, it only shows how deep in debt the country has to be if it's afraid of being put on some list.

You can't ban bitcoin, that's a fact and many countries have learned it the hard way. Time for Pakistan, I guess.

Events like that where we break it to the downside and dont follow through later (fakeouts) are common in bitcoin and don't really matter.
I can give you 2 good examples of such move. One was the silk road crash, when the news broke out that the site was seized and its owner arrested, the other one was the famous covid crash. Both times it did not change the long term trend.

IMO daily price doesn't matter at all and it's pointless to keep watching it.

The rules are also not clear. How do you actually decide on who wins the competition?
"The winners will be determined through three juries and audience ratings" so someone watches you have sex and decide if they like it or not?
There's no real rules they have to obey, so betting on something that you don't even know how to score is pointless and a waste of money unless you like utter randomness.

It's just not worth it, unless you have no other way to gamble.
I'll give you an example. If I were living in a country that doesn't allow gambling at all and blocks all gambling sites, I'd have to use VPN to connect to most services. In such case I'd look for a casino that doesn't go hard on VPN users and try playing there.

I'm not in such situation so there's no need for me to do it.

It depends on what 90k is to OP. If he's making 200k a year, betting 90k might not be such a big deal. Still risky as fuk, but not the end of the world. Someone like me, who barely makes 50k a year would shit himself betting that much and my wife would probably kill me if I lost, so I'll say it again, it depends on who you are, how much money you have, how comfortable you are betting this much. I'd at least split that into multiple smaller bets.

Good luck OP, you have about 30m left. Don't chicken out before the end

IMO it's not safe which is why I avoid KYC at all cost. If the casino demands it for withdrawals over a certain limit, I don't withdraw over the limit. If it requires KYC for fiat withdrawals, I don't use fiat. If it does random KYC screening, I tend to avoid the casino completely.

Many years ago I've decided that it's important for me to stay anonymous in the Internet, which is why I never reveal any sensitive data and I never send scans of my documents. You will not find my face anywhere in the web. It allows me to feel somewhat safe.

My reason to invest right now, if i had no bitcoin would be simple math. Think about it for a second and you'll come to the same conclusion. What is the chance of bitcoin going to 0 and compare that to the chance of bitcoin going to the last ATH to retest it.

Another reason is the current price. It's less than 50% of the ATH which is really low. Usually bitcoin retests the 50% level frequently, so 35k is almost a certainty at this point. So, knowing bthat bitcoin will hit 50% level somewhere in the next 12 month, even if it gets rejected by it, why wouldn't you buy bitcoin at 27k if it was bound to retest crucial levels somewhere in the next 12 months? No other investment is going to give you an opportunity of earning 30% in a year.

"You cannot ban bitcoin, you can only ban yourself from bitcoin" - this is probably the best way to describe this situation.

The current administration in the US is trying to appease eco clowns who think bitcoin mining is destroying the planet. They have to fight against something so if chaining yourself to a tree is no longer popular and so is freeing animals from labs, there has to be something else they can do, right? Fortunately there's a lot of bright people in the US who fight for their states to remain free.

Wait patiently, OP. I see no reason to attack after just 2 days of waiting, especially since you've withdrawn so much money from them without any problems.


So according to you they only have 1 address? Good job detective!
Even if they were really out, converting funds takes not more than a few minutes, so they can quickly generate enough of a given token in case of a large withdrawal.

I've tried to install one of them and got immediately asked to link my google or twitter account.

Ok, so I gave it a try to see how much I could be getting and here's the catch: you are not getting sats for playing, for high scores, for nothing really. You get tickets that allow you to enter a lottery, where you can win a few sats, or not. So, if you feel like you can make some bitcoin playing, it's probably possible, but your head will be in pain after a few hours of watching commercials and you'll probably get $0.1 for it. Yes, it's not a mistake $0.1 because the top prize that I saw was 1000 sats (0.00001 BTC)

Are you trying to make a list of people who contributed to the early development of bitcoin? Start with people who were there from the beginning like Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Gavin, or Sirius. There's a number of early bitcoin developers you might be interested in, just google the phrase. The (drunk) creation of the HODL word is really not that important compared to what some developers did for bitcoin.
