881  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Man lost £20,000 in one night after becoming addicted to online gambling! on: June 29, 2021, 09:50:35 AM
Greed has been a killer. I know of a close family friend who go so addicted to gambling that he ended up gambling with his landed properties and this happened when he was in his late 50s this made him look so frustrated and died out of cardiac arrest. I feel gambling should remain a game of fun and not a get rich scheme and that way one can minimize his stakings and make good profits as well over time
Would agree with you, I grew up in a bad neighborhood and I think that a lot of people that got killed by hired guns are all because of a big debt in gambling that happened because they were greedy and addicted to gambling. It should be a game of fun but we all know that it's not going to happen because of human's tendency to get obsessed.

The only one that I've heared of in this award is probably the Bet365, they don't leave that much impression for me but it's a credit where credit is due. How come that there's close to zero crypto gambling site in this awards.
883  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A word of warning before playing on BitStarz casino on: June 29, 2021, 08:29:55 AM
I agree that the site needs to be thoroughly researched before kyc under kyc they took all the information and later scammed. Next before participating in any site check it well explain your entries include the game date disadvantages and parts including your thoughts on how the game is going and what you cando next. A careful gambling journal doubles as a ledger and helps you calculate your winnings.
The problem is that some sites that will scam you are a wolf in sheep's clothing meaning that they know when to strike, they aren't content with a quick buck like their lowly counterpart because they tend to fatten the goose before doing anything. My advice to everyone is to question everything that they read online because anyone can lie to their teeth online.
884  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: YOUR FAVORITE GAMBLING? on: June 29, 2021, 07:31:52 AM
I've played bingo and it's a fun game when me and my friends played it before physically. I don't know if there are some websites (not casino) that can play bingo with friends.
Like creating a room and adding password and only your friends can access on it since you're going to give them the password for that room you've made to play with them.

Ah yes Bingo, the favorite past time of unemployed housewives in my neighborhood. There's probably an online one, I think a search with the keywords "online", "bingo" and "crypto" will definitely yield some results.
885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terms and condition a must read before signing up any online gambling site on: June 29, 2021, 06:47:30 AM
To be honest, I think Terms and Conditions aren't for the users because if it was then probably we should've be able to not agree to it, I think they are there so the site removes their liability in case something happens to the users so even if you were to read it, you don't have that much choice unless you have the patience to find one where the Terms and Conditions are favorable to you but in my experience, most of them are the using the same.

Anybody facing any issue to visit blackjack.fun? I can not visit at this moment. It just show something like network error. If anybody facing the same situation like me plz let me here. So that I can be sure it does not only me .lol

And Yeah OP should take care of this issue if it is from site end. Thank You

It's doing just fine with me, so I don't think that it isn't a general issue but that doesn't mean that Blackjack.fun can't disregard the fact that it is still an issue.

I would not use XMR on duckdice, or use them at all in that matter. I deposited 3 XMR and they never replied for my simple refund. As soon as I deposited it logged me out and didn't have password set so can't reset password. I sent the TX ID and no response, also they removed their live chat support it seems recently. After reading here all the issues everyone has with this site I will just say RIP
Given how they have been accused by a lot of people I think it's safe to say that your XMR is as good as gone because your problem isn't unique and they seem to claim a large number of victims.
888  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: June 28, 2021, 03:13:52 PM
Is Rollbit the first gambling site that has trading?

XRP has big communities and many people love XRP (as well as many XRP protesters because of their loses) so the coin will help Rollbit has more income flow of XRP and the site will have more passive income from XRP lovers and gamblers who have XRP will use their coins on Rollbit.

It is a smart update with XRP trading. Fast, cheap transactions, and big communities behind.
They're the first gambling site that I have heard of so they are probably the first to do it. If you think about it, isn't trading and gambling almost the same? And I ponder that they might not be the first if we were to considered that too.

You are lying. There are no future profits. Anyone who understands basic calculations knows that in the long term there are only losses, even if in the short term you can have positive results.
People still believe that they can profit in gambling overtime as if that has never been proven before by numerous studies where they used a graph to measure the flow of money on an individual overtime. You can't profit on probability enriched games remember that people.
891  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mircea Popescu died leaving 1 Million BTC behind? on: June 28, 2021, 11:42:22 AM
I knew nothing about this guy, a controversial figure, read some nasty things. Anyway, it's not nice to talk bad about the dead people. What we should all learn from this is there are more important things in life than BTC and no matter how much BTC you would own someday it will all by left behind. So it doesn't hurt to try be a better person as well.
Agree, you are remembered more for what you did than all the money that you have but enough of that. I am pretty skeptic in terms of the allleged number of his bitcoin which is a million, I don't think that anyone has enough money to buy that or even hodl for a really long time.
892  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fixed supply vs reducing supply on: June 28, 2021, 11:02:02 AM
Bitcoin currently has fixed supply of 21m coins. Are there any advantages to having a reducing supply over time via burning.

If yes, why hasn't this been implemented yet?

If no, the follow up question is: are there any disadvantages to an increasing supply?
Yes, there are  advantages in reducing the supply of bitcoin and it was already stated by satoshi himself/herself saying that the less bitcoin there is, the prices will permanently go up, just basic supply and demand. Burn addresses are used to reduce the supply of bitcoin. Regarding disadvantage, it's still the same, supply and demand, if there's an abundance the prices isn't going to be that high.
893  Economy / Speculation / Re: If you feel sorry for entering BTC too late remember that entering earlier... on: June 28, 2021, 09:34:07 AM
The only wrong thing to do is probably not getting in at all like how the saying goes, "better late than never" because never getting in is much worse because we don't know what's going to happen to bitcoin next which means that there's a likely chance that it will skyrocket again and you not having any investment will only reap regret because you have doubts.
894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why on earth do you own bitcoin? on: June 28, 2021, 02:13:04 AM
When you are trying to invest in for long term, you may not really think about the value in USD being eaten by the market. It will cross your mind every time the price dip which you could have decided to sell and buy later to increase the number of your satoshis. It's risky but traders do this. They do this to own more BTC because they think of the future value.
That's the most most sensible thing to do when you are investing, you should be going for the route that maximizes your profit more than anything else because what's the point of investing if you don't choose to make more money if there's a chance to do it right?
895  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Whale hoards bitcoin, will the market run out of BTC to buy? on: June 27, 2021, 02:15:13 PM
There is no such thing happening in the future I believe. Because there is a balance in this market. While there are people who buy a lot of BTC, there are also many people who are selling their BTC. In this situation, it is not possible to see that we run out of BTC to buy.
We also have to understand that they have to spend a lot of money of money to hoard all the bitcoin in the current supply plus they have to continuously buy every new bitcoin added into the supply. Even if all the whales band together to buy and hoard all bitcoins, they will have a hard time doing it.
896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will never be gone on: June 27, 2021, 09:06:40 AM
To be honest, I can't say for certain that Bitcoin will never be destroyed. Because nothing is certain in this market. Yeah, Bitcoin adoption is going on very quickly. And more people are starting to trust Bitcoin. But we never know whether another coin will dethrone Bitcoin someday.
As long as people are trading in the market and the supply continuously goes up and down and the mining is consistent until 2140, you will see for yourself that bitcoin won't die, there's the uncertainty but as long as people are an active participant in the market, there's nothing to worry about.
897  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to the coins after your death ? on: June 27, 2021, 08:25:29 AM
Just make a testament or will whenever the time comes to you. If that won't work, teach one of your family members how to make wallets and how to recover wallets.
That will suffice your worry but you have to be sure that the person you'll be teaching is trustworthy.
Or a much better one would probably teaching them right now about bitcoin and then have your important information locked in a safe place and then let them do what they want to do with it, you are already dead so it's pretty foolish to think about it.
898  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Two brothers have disappeared with $3.6 billion worth of Bitcoin on: June 27, 2021, 07:37:55 AM
Didn't the bank got scammed too or they benefited from the exit scam too like the brothers who allegedly disappeared. I wasn't that familiar with ICO but I do remember some of them but I can't put a pin what is their name, they were pretty promising and the people behind the projects were pretty interactive to their community that a lot of investors didn't expect that their money will be swindled.
I highly doubt the bank is a victim here. FNB funded Africrypt but it should have been given as a loan, which should have already been paid as the project has made a lot of money. I don't think FNB, which is one of South Africa's top banks, would easily fall to this scam. If it were a loan, Africrypt must have left a collateral whose value exceeded that of the loan provided. It is hard to imagine a huge bank privately funding what used to be a start-up crypto project ran by two youngsters in their twenties.

And also, Africrypt has accounts in the bank. The bank could easily seize what remains there to pay for its outstanding loan if it still has any.
You're right but that adds another layer of suspicion because that means that this is a really big conspiracy between Africrypt and FNB because you are right, they wouldn't fall for this easily unless they have something to get out of the scheme. *Wears tinfoil hat.
899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODL...until when? on: June 27, 2021, 05:43:01 AM
there are some people who hold the goal is to wait for the price of the coin to go up if the coin has gone up in price most people sell the coin, and there are also those who hold it for future assets such as people who hold bitcoin they don't sell bitcoin even though the price has gone up maybe they have a target in the future.
That should be the ideal goal because you consider bitcoin as a long-term investment that you have to wait for it to finally sell it and get enormous profit if you waited long enough and the profit margin is pretty wide. But there's nothing wrong with selling when the prices go up with a small profit margin, profit is profit and it's the same for those that sell when the prices are going down and they sell immediately to cut losses.

This is one short exit-scam story in a thick book full of crypto exit-scams. There are different kinds of crypto exit-scam projects. I remembered during the height of ICO, there were countless of projects that ended up scams after raising millions and millions of money from investors.

The fact that this project was backed by a bank doesn't say anything about its legitimacy. Banks are usually there for the money.
Didn't the bank got scammed too or they benefited from the exit scam too like the brothers who allegedly disappeared. I wasn't that familiar with ICO but I do remember some of them but I can't put a pin what is their name, they were pretty promising and the people behind the projects were pretty interactive to their community that a lot of investors didn't expect that their money will be swindled.
