Why are we even discussing this? I'm always amazed by people who invite these weirdos to talk shows and make them explain how they think they're "between sexes" at the moment because they haven't decided yet what they want to be. 50 years ago such person would be sent to the mental institution for evaluation, now they're making stars out of them. I have zero issue with an adult wanting to mutilate their body into a sterile body.
A little bit off topic, but... I have an issue with people trying to make this normal. There are things that are considered normal and things that we call deviations, or abnormalities. We all agree that a self-harming person must suffer from a condition, like depression, or some mental illness. We agree that people who crave sex with children are sick, right? Men who cut off their dicks because they feel that there's a woman hidden inside of them aren't well. Suddenly these people are trying to make us all believe that we are sick for not accepting their choices. When you cut off your nose and stitch it to your butt, you're sick, but when you cut off your genitals, you're OK, it's a choice and those who don't accept that should learn tolerance. And pronouns, don't forget about pronouns!  |

We're living in world governed by idiots and we pay the price.
Just think about it for a moment and you'll reach the same conclusion.
Germany shut down its nuclear reactors to go green and as a result they went dark, because there's not enough energy production in the country to keep the grid stable. They're forced to buy it from France, that, yes, you've guessed it, uses nuclear reactors!
Scotland decided to have green energy, like Germany, so they built some wind warms. Today I've read that they were using diesel generators to defrost these wind farms during winter, otherwise the generators would seize and stop producing power

I did bring a few of my friends but this was only to when a casino had some kind of promo where you could get free money, or play in a free tournament.
I gave my friends some invites and they got free money to play with. Back in 2015 and 2016 there was a lot of such events taking place and you could easily get $20 or more for free, without having to deposit any of your own money. I once got $25, played for 2 hours and withdrew $30, so I got my friends to try their luck.

Yeah, I confess I'm a bit lost. Bear market syndrome. im happy to be in this forum as always. But when I see posts exaggerating cryptocurrencies, claiming they are better than cash, gold, or talking about crypto will save the world very soon, I am inclined to be a contrarian.
Just as people who rode horses were when some weird people were telling them them that cars would revolutionize the world. Those old, loud, smoky machines that can't even reach the speed of a horse? I could even argue that we aren't in a bear market anymore, but in a limbo between markets. Technically speaking, a bear market marks constant lower lows, while bull market marks higher highs. What if there are no lower lows and no higher highs and price stabilizes? Yes, for bitcoin this is a stable situation. |

Edited 20.5. 2023: If there is a chance that someone want to help me with maybe 2 euros, I added my BTC adress to my profile. I know this has nothing to do with independence so I will respect if you want to delete it. All good to you. Anyway thanks for your answers and for the encouraging words to this moment.  Begging is not allowed, so please, don't do it. If you are in a hard spot, try gofundme, or some other similar service. I hope you'll reach your goal of financial independence. If you have skills, you can make money on this forum. Keep checking the services section daily and you should find offers where companies pay you money for reviewing their site. Sometimes they pay for articles, slogans, graphic designs, and it's not 2 EUR, like what you're hoping to get. It's often 20+ so don't try to get money for free when there's so many people who want to give it to you for performing simple tasks. |

I voted maybe because it's not the obligation of the casino to do such survey but doing it is a plus and a moral support from them to the gambler especially if their system noticed the pattern of the gambler spending habits and on how much the gambler is spending. It can also be a reminder as you said about the VPN. I've seen some MMORPG game that is reminding the gamers to take a break because of super long playtime that can affect their health. Obviously it can be the same as the casino but their will be a specific triggers for the reminder or survey since casino don't want to stop gamblers from playing unless the casino can be thrown into an issue about worsts case scenario such as s**cide because of gambling addiction.
It's also not the obligation of a player to take part in such survey. I think they should do it as long as they keep it in the voluntary form. If gamblers are fine with taking part in this, they will and if they're not, they won't. From the point of view of the casino it's a good way to know what gamblers like, what changes would they want to be implemented, if they feel comfortable playing, do they understand the rules... From the point of the gambler, they might have a way to make changes in some rules, like the mentioned VPN. |

Bitcoin market is something no one can actually tell when it is best to buy or hold instead you buy when you have what it takes to and wait for the outcome. From my little experience I think every time is best to buy and hold Bitcoin all you need is Patience...
That's what I kept telling people for years. The time to buy is always good, but it can be better. It a;; depends on how long you can wait. If you buy bitcoin at ATH, you may have to wait 4-5 years for profit, but if you do it at an average price, maybe 40% of ATH, you shouldn't have to wait more than 2 years for an opportunity to either exit with small profit, or at least without a loss. If you have at least 5 years in mind, you can buy at any moment. I'm sure within that time bitcoin is going to experience a bull market. I've held for 8 years and it gets easier with every passing year. |

I’m not updated on what’s happening on Ledger but this news makes me regret on buying this piece shit instead of trezor or other hardware wallet. I thought Ledger is the best due to the wide support of the crypto community but they proven useless in the presence of regulators. I think they are being pressured by regulators to do this kind of stuff from behind since they are perfectly producing ledger hardware wallets without a problem for a long time.
Please enlighten me, Does this firmware update is mandatory or I can ignore the latest update and still use my hardware wallet normally. This recovery feature is bullshit and now they are making it worse by allowing the government to access my keys.
I think that it was cheaper and more compact than Trezor. I'm talking about 2019 when I bought mine. At the time it was a decent option and I've got mine in person from a physical store, so I did not have to share any personal information with Ledger and avoided the leak. As long as the cloud update isn't enforced and you can decide not to do it (unless you cannot, but you should be able to, at least for now), I see nothing wrong with this. The problem will start if they one day decide that unless you do the update you won't be able to use the device. In such case I'll probably do it and immediately move my funds, to protect them from theft. |

So, a centralized coin management team that regularly dumps XRP on their investors, to capitalize on the fact that someone believes in their ideas and adoption, is launching another centralized pseudo-crypto mechanism? Not amazed at all.
I'd like to remind you that Ripple's business model relies on promises, starting hype to get new people onboard and dumping some of the XRP that they're holding.
Before you fall into this, check out what XRP was trading for when they were pumping it it and selling empty promises to the public (the hype phase). I'll make it easy for you, it was over $2 in 2017. Then Ripple cashed in on the hype and made the price go to 0.3 USD in one year. Then it kept bouncing between 0.2 and 0.5 USD for 3 years, until the bull market of 2021 and guess what, it's back to 0.4 USD.
So, before you feel like it's time to sell some BTC and buy XRP, think about it for a moment. In late 2018, 2019, 2020 XRP was worth less than 0.5 USD, and so it was in 2022 and now in 2023. One could ask, if there is demand for the coin, why is the price still the same? The price of BTC is much higher than it was in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
It's because of the Ripple dumping. For instance, in q4 2022 Ripple sold $226m worth of coins and in q1 2023 $361m.

If they had the 500km range version then yes, but there's another one, with shorter range of only 250km and I believe that one was supplied to Ukraine, to prevent them from striking deep into Russia. In a straight line, there's only 450km between Ukrainian border and Moscow  I don’t understand why you drag this rotten shit from Ukrainian propaganda here?
What is the propaganda you're talking about? The Russian tactic is not admitting to any losses and when someone actually counts their wrecked machines, it's propaganda. The pictures of t-62 in Ukraine are also propaganda, just as Iranian drones were propaganda because Iranians said they weren't selling any to Russia and we could keep counting. This is not a tank conflict. Tanks are the second most deployed military unit of this war, right after IFVs. That's a fact, not propaganda. Artillery has third place. The superiority in tanks could have been decisive, but it was not - thanks in large part to the large number of hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers in early NATO deliveries to Ukraine. A couple of hundred Western tanks from late NATO deliveries will not help Ukraine much either.
The problem is Russians barely have any good hand held anti-tank launchers. That's why a Western tank that can take out numerous Cold War era Russian tanks and take a hit from an RPG, or a drone, can make a difference. Russia's superiority in artillery, aviation and missiles plays a much larger role at the current stage of the operation. In the autumn of last year, a temporary superiority in numbers played well into the hands of Ukraine, due to this, it was possible to achieve success near Izyum. Now Ukraine has no significant advantage in any aspect.
They are slowly running out of cruise and hypersonic missiles. Artillery doesn't take ground, especially the one Russia uses, as it's not mobile and not accurate enough. It can be used to shell defenses or towns and act as a deterrent. It buys time, but doesn't allow Russians to advance. Sure, Russia has air superiority, but Ukraine doesn't try to fight them in the air. I've read today that Ukrainians shot down an aircraft with a patriot missile. What's going to happen in a year? Will Russia sacrifice it's air defense forces to attack Ukraine and open itself for a possible attack from the East? |

I do not agree. Ukraine is now fighting at the maximum of its military potential, for Ukraine it is a matter of life and death. Russia has used its military potential, I think by 15%, for Russia this is a military special operation.
Here's what they were saying 2 months ago: Russia’s army is estimated to have lost nearly 40% of its prewar fleet of tanks after nine months of fighting in Ukraine, according to a count by the specialist thinktank the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS).
That rises to as much as 50% for some of the key tanks used in combat, forcing Russia to reach into its still sizeable cold war-era stocks. Ukraine’s tank numbers are estimated to have increased because of the number it has captured and supplies of Soviet-era tanks from its western allies.
Its headline count is that Russia’s number of tanks in its army have reduced by 38% from 2,927 to 1,800, while there have been particularly heavy losses of its workhorse T-72B3, an upgrade first delivered to its army in 2013.
Heavy losses on the battlefield have meant that Russia had lost “around 50% of its pre invasion fleet” of the tank and a related variant
Ukraine could fight better with more NATO military support, but firstly, NATO military support for Ukraine already has unprecedented volumes, and secondly, it is not profitable for NATO to inflate the conflict too much so that it does not get out of control.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/15/russian-army-has-lost-up-to-half-of-key-battle-tanks-analysts-estimate-ukraineAt the beginning of its full-scale invasion in Feb., Russia had around 3,330 operational tanks (2,840 with the ground forces, 330 with its naval infantry, and 160 with its airborne forces), according to the Military Balance 2021 database.
The database includes all tank types currently employed by Russia’s military, notably T-72s, T-80s, and T-90s, and their modifications.
According to Oryx, an online investigative project documenting equipment losses in Russia’s war, Russia has lost at least 994 tanks as of Sept. 1.
The estimated total Russian loss of 1,300 machines in Ukraine roughly corresponds to 14 full-fledged armored brigades or 42 battalion tactical groups (BTGs). This amounts to more tank fleets than the U.K., France, Germany, and Italy combined.
https://kyivindependent.com/how-many-tanks-does-russia-really-have/Saying that Russia has used 15% of its potential is an understatement, unless you count all the scrap tanks from the 50s and 60s, like Russian propagandists do, but most of these tanks will never be restored. Russia is a strange country where on paper there's 10k tanks in reserves, but in reality half of these have been in storage for over 50 years. They don't run, cannot be restored, and even if they are somehow restored, are useless on the modern battlefield. The reality is, Russia has used maybe 20% of its total tank reserves (on paper), but more than 50% of working, fairly modern tanks. I say fairly modern because t72 has been in use since the 70s and Russians just can't let it go. They're just adding more electronics and reactive armor and calling it a modern tank because it's cheaper than making a new one. So, it's possible a grandfather was using a T72 in the Soviet Union, and now his grandson is using it in Ukraine  It's really easy to prove that they're running out of tanks, since they've started to deploy T-62s. These are tanks that were used by Russia in Afghanistan and were already outdated in the 80s. https://mil.in.ua/en/news/ukrainian-military-captured-first-russian-t-62-tank/ These Russians have a sense of humor. Look at the name of the tank "fury" written on the barrel. Also the state of the tank, as it's a version with no reactive armor. |

Gambling is up to us whether we do it or not. As long as you enter this game, you should know that this is a game that will quickly lose the money you bet on it and you can also quickly increase your money here. It depends on whether you get lucky in your gambling.
Therefore, what you bet here is that you are ready to lose that you will not regret, as if the money you use here is not needed, this is the mindset you should have as a gambler entering a casino in the crypto gambling space.
OP's case is a bit different from normal gambling as it's obviously a scam. So, this is a comparison between choosing to gamble and choosing to get scammed. When you go to a casino or an online gambling site, most of them are regulated and relatively fair, as long as you can accept that your odds are lower than they appear because of the house edge. Street gambling is usually scam meant to steal your money and these people will lure you in promising free rolls and stuff and then they'll steal from you saying there was no free roll, you were supposed to play for money from the beginning. |

Find a notable landmark (bell tower in the background with weather vein rather than a cross or steeple)
Search image of land mark or text of striking features (found the bell tower and pulled an address from the website the image came from)
Check the address of suspects in maps and go to street view, try to find the angle and distance (I found the angle and the cedar tree, but I couldn't find that distinctive mail box. That's why I guessed "somewhere near" Casa Bella.
Just a test of stalker skilz... and unfortunately I am apparently good at stalking. (damnit!)
There's definitely some luck involved too. Do you know how many church bell tower pictures are there? I've just googled that and gave up after the first 100 pictures, none of which was that exact tower. Secret Club
What's so secret?
They are all Morons.

I have played this game couple of days, I deposited with our local currency to play it. It's very interested game but you have to be very vigilant enough to cash out otherwise the jet will fly away and that is the end of your fund.
For instance, you may stake with $0.01 to $2000 or more which give you multiple of your staking. The total odds accumulated will be subjected or multiple by amount stakes to give you your total Cash out.
If you succeed cashing out before the jets fly away then you have gain profits. Note that you can only stake amount you could afford to lose because their is no refund after the jet takes off.
What was the result? Did you win anything? There are reviews, although can't say how many of them are paid ones. https://www.casinohawks.com/crash-games/aviatorPersonally, I like crash games. I prefer them from normal slots or dice. The way the value grows is more exciting than "rolling". |

Reply to illegally allegations
Assalamualaikum, my dear respected brothers,
I am aware that everyone wants to talk about me, but the truth is no one knows the reality. You are all my seniors, and I trust that you will keep the respect in your hearts for me throughout my life. Whether someone speaks ill of me or praises me, I am not affected because in one person, there are 100 good qualities and 1 bad quality. People tend to focus on the negative. I don't care about what others think of me; I only remember the kindness and compassion of all my brothers.
It doesn't matter to me if someone speaks badly about me, as I won't lose anything. If a person is 99% good and 1% bad, people only focus on the bad. I am going through difficult times, and instead of motivating me, everyone is demotivating me. I am worried about this, as it has caused a significant loss for me.
I am not saying that someone should motivate me, but they should also not investigate. Because I know my current situation and my Lord knows it too. I am very hurt by the fact that if someone had seen me struggling, why didn't they guide me? The first campaign I did was without knowledge of this matter. If I had any greed in my heart, I wouldn't have shared this, but the close ones knew about it. I shared it with Gladitorcomeback and Zain Bhai. I also talked to a senior about it, that I didn't receive the payment for 2 weeks. I had done the work properly, as you can see in my posts, but I didn't receive the payment. So, I applied on Duelbits and got accepted. Then someone reported it and created threads about it. Now, I will address the truth there as well.
But I am saddened that my own community is not standing with me. I removed the request text from the Pakistan local board immediately to protect my community. My community is dearer to me than my own life, but no one motivated me on this matter. Every person makes mistakes, and no one is perfect. But no one here is an angel. May Allah bring justice to my case.
ThemePen brother, you are saying that I managed the merit myself. I worked hard and created posts with accurate information, but no one supported me. What else could I have done? And ThemePen brother, if you knew about changing the signature, why didn't you guide me? The matter of reputation is dearer to me than anything else. Please remember, if one person's reputation is tarnished, it affects the entire community. You all are damaging your own reputations. Instead of blaming me, ask for the truth.
Thank you.
Thanks for translating it. It looks like he's looking for support in his local board, hoping that you guys will defend him. He's playing dumb, acting like it wasn't a deliberate action, but at the same time shows defiance, like it's the world's fault that he did it. It's the fault of his peers, the fact that he wasn't paid in another campaign, that other's don't know him well. He also merited his other accounts because nobody was willing to merit them, so what was he supposed to do? He's not going to talk to the people who don't understand him, but he may talk to his brothers in faith, as they're above the rest. He doesn't care about those here who criticize him, only about his brothers. And remember, he wasn't making accounts and joining campaigns out of greed, but because he was going through difficult times. What's there to learn from this case? Merit posters! When you merit, you show support. Every supported post is one more person saved from becoming a campaign abuser and account farmer! |

First of all, eos/doge was much higher than you have calculated as you are comparing it to its current price (big mistake)
(...)
Here are a list of deposits for your reference, since i apparently potentially made a few deposits. Please also look at the price of eos in 2021.
That's a good one! You don't want the casino to give you back the coins that were deposited. You want them to return the Australian Dollar value of EOS from 2021. What do you think a casino is? Some kind of a savings account that retains the value of your crypto for you? On top of that, when asked for proof of your deposits you show a spreadsheet that you made.  |

$ 5 in my opinion is still standard and not too expensive. If some online casinos experience increased transaction fees it is because of the crowded Bitcoin Network, but that only applies to casinos that use crypto networks.
If you want a withdrawal fee of $1 or less, I don't know what gambling platform can do that. But try to check online gambling platforms that integrate the Bitcoin Lightning Network. that might be an alternative because the lightning network uses a cheaper and faster fee.
I wouldn't call that cheap, since most of these platforms allow for bets lower than $1, so asking $5 just for withdrawal is pretty high, especially from people who live in poor countries. I know it's becoming somewhat of a standard, but it doesn't mean we should accept it without complaint, especially if they want a $5 withdrawal fee on altcoins that offer very low fees of less than $1. What are we paying for actually? Are we paying $5 for the automated software to approve our 0.5 USD fee for a $10 withdrawal? There are casinos that don't take any additional fee apart from whatever is required by the network. |

WTF! I never thought anyone would think of being such dishonest here.
Don't underestimate them. I've seen people kill for less. Not joking here. There's many places in many countries where you can get stabbed for less than a weekly campaign payment. He's from Pakistan. The minimum wage there is only $90 a month. He was getting $160 from one campaign, so he decided to double it by cheating and live a better life. If anybody is thinking of doing it, it's not worth it. You're going to make some money in the process, if you're lucky, but how much will it be? $100? $200? And then you'll have to make a new account because nobody is going to accept you into a campaign. It's better to build an honest presence on the forum, instead of trying to weasel your way in, to make a few dollars. |

I wanted to give you a chance and defended you at first, but you're making it difficult. We are talking hundreds of thousands of dollars that was deposited and they were 100% aware of this.
So, hundreds of thousands and all you post as proof of that is: So, you've wagered $300 BTC $16k doge $300k EOS That doesn't tell us anything. Let's use EOS as an example, because it is the one you've wagered the most. Based on the number of bets, your average bet was worth $3,5 and the win to loss ratio was 50%, so you could've deposited $50, which would have given you 14 rolls and kept auto betting with $3.5 85k times and end up with that number. This is not a proof of your deposits and (unless I missed something) you've failed to provide us with any proof that Stake owes you anything. You claim this is hundreds of thousands, but I haven't seen any proof that you've deposited more than $100 on their platform. Why do you hide the deposited amounts? Are you afraid we'll see that you were sending $10 worth of crypto and stop taking you seriously? Also, you need to learn how to take screenshots. It's a useful skill |
