He is an illiterate spammer. He had chosen to spam over old threads and didn't know his post would be deleted as well. It seems no more posts from him exist since he has nuked. Noticed he is promoting something, though I haven't tried to visit the link. Whether it's suspicious or not, I don't bother to click a link that I am not aware of. He thought he could introduce his service by spamming himself. However, this kind of posting isn't accepted by the forum and forum users as well. So he just wasted his time here.

just posted from the source at the bottom that even if you’re not involved in crime, you could still get hit if the BTC you hold was once linked to scams, hacks, or mixers. Regulators and exchanges are now tracking harder, coins can get flagged or even frozen.
I am one of the sufferers, though I haven't made any mistakes. One of my clients sent funds from the mixer to my Binance account, and my funds were frozen, including account restrictions. Nowadays exchange monitors dirty coins strongly, so we have to be careful when receiving funds from unknown sources. Though later Binance released my funds and lifted the ban, I had to wait for a longer time. And who knows if they intend to freeze forever next time? So I am very careful now. Before sending funds into a centralised exchange, we should receive funds into a noncustodial wallet to check if the funds are dirty or clean. If it's dirty, then shouldn't send it to the exchange where you have to face the issue. You have to find some other solutions in such a case to stay safe.

^^ Yeah, sometimes it's really hard to comprehend it, when you're unlucky on what casino and then suddenly when you move on to a new one, your luck is very different. It's not that I only experience it online, but in traditional base casinos, I have this kind of thoughts too.
In our place we have 4 big casinos, but I usually play on one that is near to me. But let's say I have a bad feeling that nothing is going on my end. I will go and play on the other casino and then suddenly I will have a good night.
So it's not just me, maybe many gamblers are superstitious so that they do whatever they see fit that will chance their luck.
I do believe too that moving from one casino to another would change or update your luck. There would be many reasons behind it; when you start at a new casino, then you are starting with a fresh mind and positive thinking as well. Positive thoughts during playing casino also increase your chances of winning. I saw during card playing players change the position when they are constantly losing. Then after changing the position, they do well. I don't know what we should call that, but it's true. But doesn't mean always and with every gamblers will happen same. But a fresh start with a fresh mind would change something. Especially in a real-life casino, when you move to a new casino, then you might discover a different environment. So everything will be new; therefore, it's a fresh start.

Binance was my favorite exchange as well, but they pestered me several times, with the last time dsiabling my withdrawals for no obvious reason for more than a month, after which I stopped using them alltogether. So funds are still stuck there? Or later they have enabled withdrawal? After a lot of conversation through their support system and making a sound on social media, they had released my funds. I admit it was a mistake by my clients sending funds from the mixer for what I have suffered. I have explained the situation, and eventually funds were released. However, they kept me as restricted, but after almost a year, they lifted the ban. So what's your account status right now? @The Cryptovator if I am you, I wouldn't touch them with ten foot pole.
Whatever exchange you use, you are aware of such a situation. Any exchange would repeat the same thing. Even I have heard bybit about the same issues. It means you aren't safe anywhere.

When a gambler is confident about gambling against a game, it means he is sure of winning but not one hundred per cent at all. So yes, this is gambling as well. In the last US election I was 99 per cent sure Donald Trump would be the winner. In such a case, even if I bet with someone, it will still be a gamble. Because there is no way to predict something one hundred per cent at all.
Even if you are overconfident but not sure, it means you are playing with luck, which is called gambling. We can't really gamble that we know one hundred per cent; only unsure things matter to gamble.

The overall Bitcoin condition lookspositive to me. Day by day institutional investors are becoming interested in Bitcoin; as a result, Bitcoin seems to be pushing up. Besides institutions, retail investors also enter Bitcoin whenever a dip happens. So unless there is any bad news coming up, then this year we can see Bitcoin at $135K. It's not too far from the ATH, so even if it's not hit 135K, it would be near at least. Everything is possible in crypto, so when it will happen we can't predict exactly.
However, we are going to see a bear market as well. Most probably after another new ATH, we might see a bear season. Bitcoin won't move forward without any major corrections. So mentally we have to prepare for the bear as well.

Why does the merit count matter, whether it's 120 days or for years? Is this a concern for the forum actually? I don't think so. This isn't an important implementation for the forum at all. So far I can see campaign managers ask about earned merits like the last 60 days or 120 days. It depends on them, but nothing related to the forum, and admin don't have time to implement something that campaign managers require. Then a lot of things should be implemented.
So if you are concerned about joining the campaign and submitting your merit counts, you can simply find it on the BPIP website. No need for extra apps or extensions. I am not a fan of the installation of any extension. Whenever I need to see my statistics, then I simply check on BPIP. At least you have to struggle minimally if you need some extra benefits.

This is not the first time I've seen many Tier 1 exchanges create challenges and competitions, but the real question I want to ask is: are most of these actually real, and do users really win them? Sometimes I get tired of wasting money on unprofitable trading. Due to my curiosity about finding alternative ways to get ROI or APR without trading, I found competitions as an alternative. But before I enter, I want to ask if anyone has had experience with this, especially with the one i saw currently, Onchain Trading Competition 53, which involves trading coins like CUDIS, USDUC, or VELO to qualify for a share of 20k BGB. How true is it?
Exchange trading competition depends on the exchange, and even if they pay, it will be through the exchange as well. But on-chain trading competition depends on the team directly. If the team is honest and announces an on-chain trading competition, then they should pay themselves the contest winnings. I have seen a lot of on-chain trading competitions that don't pay winnings eventually. So you have to check how trustworthy the team is. On the other hand, CEX trading competitions are really not for small traders like us. You will just lose the trading fees, and you may lose the funds as well if the token price dumps. So I never bother to participate in trading competitions at all; there are a lot of whales who will win eventually.

Welcome to the forum; it seems you are experienced with the forum, and your official announcement looks pretty cool. I have visited your website as well, and everything looks pretty good. Hope your service will be better than others, and it could draw attention from the forum gamblers. In recent years we’ve seen the rise of many shady operators in the sportsbook and casino space - whether its imposing after the fact KYC requirements, making excuses up to not pay out or simply outright rugging, and we want to change that with Gamblr with a trustworthy VIP focused sportsbook and casino.
I think you also need KYC; I have read your terms where you do need verification of the age of the gamblers. Since you may require documentation, it means it's a KYC platform as well. However, it's good to see you noticed how gambling platforms make drama with gamblers and suspend accounts. This is the biggest hassle ever for gamblers. Hope you will change the thing as you promised, even if you ask KYC from the gamblers. Good luck to you.

A bear market can be considered a season where asset prices drop drastically, I most cases can be tied to economic phenoms like the increase in the general price level of goods and services (inflation)
Bitcoin as an asset also experience bear markets, in this case it's volatility becomes amplified. Bitcoin holders rarely panic during this period, as surprising adoption still remains constant.
Would you increase your usage during this period, knowing the bear market may just be seasonal, do you see it as an opportunity? Or would you decide to sell?
What's your best strategy?
I've faced a couple of bear seasons, and in my trading history I never sell my holdings at a loss. One shitcoin I had on sale at a loss but in a bull market. Because that token scam their investors, so at the last point there was no way without selling it. Rest assured, I don't sell at a loss either I need to hold it for a couple of years. So for me the bear market is an opportunity for me. If I had funds, then I tried to accumulate more, so my average coin price would be lower. I know some panic sellers sell their holdings at a loss due to the bear market. They don't have enough patience to hold their Bitcoin or any other holding. They forget Bitcoin always creates new history and makes a new ATH. So for the trading or holding, we must need to wait during bear season. Bear will come definitely, and we have to accumulate as well.

Regulatory shift may happen and I think the account my get froze due to those restrictions and worse funds might also got froze if the user will experience bad faith.
No, I don't think so. A regulatory shift doesn't mean immediately freezing your account. If during registration your country wasn't in the restricted list but later they add it. Then they should give you time to withdraw your winnings. This is what every casino should do since they have to follow the regulations, and users have to get back their funds as well. But they can reach up to the support towards those situation happened since for sure they are aware on those changes and give chance their user to withdraw their funds if there are balance left on their accounts. Exactly what I stated above. This isn't a chance; this is the users' right, and they have to notify users regarding the issues. Like Exchange, notify users during the delisting of a coin, and even after delisting, users could withdraw their funds. Also it will be good if they have that automatic notification towards the changes happening so that their players would be aware about the situation happen so they can do some action before they encounter any problems related to that matters on their casino.
They have to send mail to all users who are going to be added to restricted jurisdictions. This isn't really a simple thing to add a country to their restricted zone. The user should know prior to adding to the list.

The restriction was lifted just a few weeks ago? So, it took them almost a year to resolve your issue? Or did I get it right? If yes, don't you think it took them too long to decide on your concern, therefore, it's goodbye to them?
But if it's Binance where you can find all that you're looking for in a centralized exchange, they may deserve a second chance. At the end of the day, what you went through with Binance you may also experience in other centralized exchanges, perhaps even worse considering that Binance is one of the most trusted and reliable in the market.
As for my personal experience, I ditched Binance for good and moved to another popular platform. They're almost similar, anyway.
You are right; it's been almost a year since I had the issues with Binance. In the meantime I have been using another exchange like Bybit. It's also been a smooth exchange so far from my experience. Binance was my first choice, to be honest, and I was quite disappointed due to restrictions. For security reasons I don't store funds in an exchange after the issue with Binance. So when I need to sell or buy coins, I like to move them on multiple exchanges. Because I really don't want to rely on the single exchange. However, I have been using Binance again right now and don't have any issues yet. Hopefully they lifted my restrictions after a deep investigation. So there shouldn't be an issue with them unless I made mistakes again. The funds I have been dealing with are fully clean and come from Bybit. So there won't be an issue like a mixer or something else. I will be very careful when dealing with the CEX.

There are a lot of new investors in the space currently. Almost everyone now knows of bitcoin. Some too well while some maybe not too much. But for the people who buy bitcoin, I am sure we all have different reasons for wanting to buy. Does the intention why you bought bitcoin in the first place matter?
I would say yes. If your intent is to keep up with the trends and make easy money then you are most likely to give up immediately and be attacked by FUD easily. But if you truly believe in bitcoin and its fundamental characteristics then you can stick with it against the bear market.
I believe the most important reason behind investing in Bitcoin is getting an advantage from Bitcoin's volatility. Whoever is investing in Bitcoin, at least they know the basic things about Bitcoin potentially. For that we really don't need much research; we just need to read the chart. The onlyreason to invest in Bitcoin is making money. But that's really not easy if you can't take risks. It's not easy money actually; you have to hold it with patience. If you become panicked during a bear market, then you can't make money. There will be FUD and market dumps due to various reasons. We call it an accumulation zone for Bitcoin investors, but for panic selling, they might be afraid and sell their coins. So overall we can say you should have enough patience and need to learn about Bitcoin before investing.

Advertising a mining setup with a self-moderated thread really raises red flags. Also, if he wants to sell something, he should post in the service section instead. Something looks suspicious to me. I don't have much experience with mining, but I haven't seen such a mining system. Miners should have their own setup and join the pool themselves. There is no real need for such a service at all, and it looks like he wants to promote something like so-called cloud mining. If so, then really he deserves red flags.
However, I would ask those who have better experience about mining to leave their comment here so we can take a look at whether it should raise flags or not. But if someone is interested in such a service, they should deal with caution.

Make sure you make the review transparent and honest, not just the same as other paid reviews. Because some gamblers would choose a gambling platform based on reviews. Also make a good relationship with the platform you are reviewing, because if gamblers face any issues, they could reach you. Then you may need to support them to solve the issues.
However, I believe forum gamblers are smart enough to check gambling platform transparency. But you have a responsibility; try to be honest always.

When you are going to deal with something that's financially related, then don't trust Google search. Whoever paid to Google, they will always show them in the first line; it doesn't matter if it's phishing or scam links. If you don't know the exact website to browse, then try to find the trusted sources. For example, if you want to find a coin's official website, you may simply find it on CoinmarketCap; also, you can find exchanges there the same way.
You can bookmark some important links that you often need to visit if you can't memorise them. So you will be safe when browsing them. I always try to type the address when I need to visit important links like a hardware wallet's website. So we need to be careful to secure our funds.

I’m genuinely interested in how players find good crypto casinos nowadays. I believe the google search results are pretty bad these days—for example, if you simply search “best crypto casino,” you’ll find that CoinCasino comes up as the top choice, which is a bit questionable. ( i strongly disagree, i think its some of the worst casinos )
So, is Bitcointalk still the best source, or are there other reliable places to find a good casino?
Don't trust Google fully; Google could even suggest closed sites or scam sites as well, where you may lose funds. When you are searching for a new casino, then you need to make sure whether it's fully functional or not. For forum gamblers, they always depend on the forum gambling announcement section to find new gambling sites. Because only active gambling platforms come to the forum to announce their platform. There might be some monitor sites to search for new casinos, though I am not well aware. Based on the new casino marketing strategy, you can find them in various ways, like banner ads. Casinos also hunt for gamblers; it's not only gamblers who search for new casinos.

Alternatives in the form of some other CEXs certainly exist, but don't be fooled into thinking they operate in a different way. It might be best to check the AML score of your coins before each transaction, although that doesn't mean you're 100% sure that your account won't be frozen.
I know a centralised exchange would freeze funds even without any reason; it's for everyone, not only for me. That's the reason I haven't been holding large amounts in any exchange for longer. I am concernedabout previous issues. Though the support team said my account ban has been lifted and I can use the account regularly. Before list the ban I even can't login my Binance account. Suddenly saw an email from Binance about my account issues. So I tried logging in and talked to the support team. However, today also has traded a large amount of funds; still, everything is working fine for now. Hope I will not face any issues for previous mistakes.

I really can't imagine there are women gamblers, though a few would be gambling. First of all, women need money to gamble; unless a woman is fully established, she couldn't even gamble if she wanted to. Women are born to spend an easy life; they really don't dare to take high risks where gambling means high risk. Women need to take care of their families and kids, so really she couldn't focus on the gambling.
However, even if a woman tries to gamble and loses funds, she will not go back to the gambling again. They would have other additions like alcohol, but they won't be addicted to the gambling. In this perspective, I think you may find 0.1% of gamblers are women. I don't know if there is any exact statistic; this is my thought only.
