Personally, I consider anyone who want profits from Bitcoin's short-term rise or fall in value to be a trader (not an investor, as you might call it). Investors, on the other hand, are those who truly believe in Bitcoin's future potential and therefore hold it for the long term. Therefore, I recommend that we become investors, not traders, especially those who use leverage or futures trading. I find that to be akin to gambling, a zero-sum game, and full of risks. Therefore, especially for newbies or beginners in crypto, it is best not to try it, as no one can truly predict the market accurately. Even skilled traders can still be wrong, resulting in losses or margin calls instead of profits.

Basically, in gambling, someone can have a lucky streak, or vice versa, that is a losing streak, and this usually leads someone to believe the situation is rigged. However, we also need to realize that every accusation must be supported by evidence, or at least a strong reason, so it can be reported to the relevant authorities or community, because it could be a mistake on the part of the casino. However, I believe that every reputable casino (trusted by many people, some of which we can see on this forum) usually cross-checks the games they offer, so they should be trustworthy, fair, and provable. Because we know that casinos with a strong reputation will maintain their good name, especially for the comfort and security of their users when playing on their casino gambling sites, and also to maintain customer loyalty.

No, my friend, I think you are wrong. In Indonesia, the amount mentioned is quite a lot, enough to buy a house like that. However, I don't think the house is located in a major city center, so the story is very plausible. Even in my area, with half the value (around 0.035 Bitcoin, or around $4,500), we could buy a fairly large house. So, I don't think the OP's story is a hoax. And, just to add, some foreigners like to play in Indonesia, especially in Bali (fyi: Bitcoin ATMs are available in that area), because they feel that things in Indonesia are cheap, and I often see this from the social media content circulating.

Terimakasih atas masukan dari jawaban-jawaban sampean semua. Saya menyimpulkan bahwa melakukan mining Bitcoin di Indonesia tidaklah bermasalah, selagi tidak menyalahi aturan, seperti pencurian arus, dan mengganggu lingkungan sekitar. Meskipun begitu, ternyata belum ada aturan yang spesifik mengarah pada Penambangan Bitcoin, dan ini mungkin karena pemerintah kita belum siap atau belum begitu melirik hal-hal yang terkait dengan Bitcoin, sehingga belum ada aturan yang jelas. Mungkin juga, hal ini bisa kita manfaatkan, selagi memungkinkan untuk dilakukan, karena kita tahu bahwa jika sudah ada regulasi terkait hal tersebut, bisa jadi kita akan mengalami hambatan atau kesulitan dalam melakukan penambangan Bitcoin.

Oh iya, ternyata beberapa tahun lalu juga ada berita serupa, terkait dugaan pencurian arus pada penambangan Bitcoin, dan diduga kuat karena pihak terkait mencoba menyembunyikan sambungan kabel untuk mencuri listrik dengan menutupnya menggunakan box PLN yang asli, sehingga itu sangat mencurigakan dan harus diperiksa. Saya sempat mengira bahwa pemeriksaan atau pembongkaran dari pihak kepolisian dilakukan tanpa alasan, namun ternyata itu semua memiliki alasan yang kuat, dan mungkin juga hal yang sama terjadi pada kejadian baru-baru ini.

It is great when you create a post or write as if you are helping someone, but please note that it shouldn't be long-winded or complicated, it needs an easy-to-understand explanation (this is especially to help newbies), and it must be on point (short, clear, concise), so that it will be very useful and not make people lazy to read it, especially if it is very long and too much small talk. Those are some additions from me.

Depending on the situation, if a post is quiet or hasn't had any replies in a while, and we happen to have an update related to the thread title, it is actually okay to post it (as long as it is genuinely useful and up-to-date).

Of course, there is no point in copying from a post we've already created. If we want to add something, it is best to reply to the thread or post we've already created to avoid appearing spammy. While original thinking is also necessary, but we know that most of what we find has a source, so it is best to cite the source when creating a post.

As far as I know, free spins are usually awarded when a casino account has been used for gambling or betting. However, their use is limited to specific slot games, so we can't freely choose the slot game.

As I recall, the last time I received free spins, I usually won at least a dollar or two. However, it seems like your experience was unlucky, but We should know that all forms of gambling or betting are essentially based on luck. What you experienced was less lucky, with only a small profit. I usually feel happy when I receive free spins. Besides the free entertainment, they also provide additional entertainment for me because of the winnings, and I usually make the most of them. So, I hope you have good luck with your next free spins, and I hope so too.

Sorry, I think you meant $900k, or is that different from the source you cited?

Yes, surely we have to be careful about what we see online. I often watch YouTube channels discussing crypto, and when they get a lot of views, scammers often exploit the comments section to promote their scams. Not only that, but I have also seen some suspicious promotions on other platforms, like Telegram and Facebook. However, the bottom line is that we must remain vigilant about any information we see or receive, always be skeptical, don't be easily tempted or lured by anything that looks "Too Good to be True," and most importantly, avoid anything suspicious and it could be better not to try anything about it, this warning is important especially for beginner in crypto.

I think you are right. Something similar happened to me: I used Bitcoin for gambling, and I truly regret it. However, we need to reconsider and reflect on things like this so we can learn from past mistakes. One of the most important lessons from that experience is that we should never involve our finances in Bitcoin. It should be stored securely for the long term, rather than used for betting or gambling. This will prevent us from regretting what happened.

Personally, I don't think Bitcoin is suitable for gambling because I consider it a very rare commodity that should be protected. Therefore, it should be avoided for betting or gambling purposes if possible. Recently, I have preferred using other cryptocurrencies or stablecoins for gambling.

Learning Bitcoin is actually quite complex and takes more time to master, while beginners can start with the basics. I believe everyone can choose which area they want to focus on. For example, to understand Bitcoin technically, they need to focus on mathematics, blockchain technology, and development. However, if they want to be a Bitcoin trader or investor, they need to concentrate on economic analysis, which involves technical and fundamental analysis. However, I believe everyone should at least understand the basics of Bitcoin's fundamentals to pave the way for the future and become part of Bitcoin. We know this isn't easy, so we need to prepare ourselves by reading more about Bitcoin, cultivating our curiosity, learning from the basics to in-depth, and putting the knowledge we've acquired into practice. This will sharpen our understanding and make us more comfortable. I am sure that if someone applies it, they will make it happen.

Baru-baru ini, ada berita sebuah kasus penangkapan terhadap penambangan Bitcoin oleh pihak kepolisian, dan adapun alasan pembongkaran terhadap penambangan Bitcoin tersebut adalah karena adanya dugaan pencurian alus listrik yang dilakukan oleh pihak penambang tersebut, dan berdasarkan berita tersebut, ternyata beberapa warga setempat juga merasa resah akibat suara bising dilokasi penambangan tersebut, khususnya dimalam hari.

Secara pribadi, saya rasa penambangan Bitcoin secara massive di Indonesia masih sulit, karena ada beberapa hal yang harus kita fikirkan. Misalnya saja seperti; Lingkungan sekitar, Izin usaha penambangan, yang mana ini semua tentunya memakan waktu dan biaya, sehingga itu akan membuat kita berfikir dua kali untuk melakukannya, ditambah lagi karena kita harus memikirkan modal, yang mana saya rasa itu akan memakan waktu cukup lama untuk bisa mengembalikan modal untuk mining Bitcoin. Apalagi, jika kasusnya seperti berita tersebut, yang mana mereka baru saja melakukan penambangan hanya sekitar satu minggu, eh malah terjadi penangkapan seperti ini.  

Jadi, dari beberapa informasi yang saya baca dari berita tersebut, menimbulkan beberapa pertanyaan:

1. Apakah melakukan mining Bitcoin meskipun tanpa pencurian arus, tetap akan bermasalah ?
2. Jika kita ingin melakukan penambangan Bitcoin, maka apakah kita harus memikirkan lingkungan sekitar ?
3. Bagaimana cara terbaik untuk melakukan mining Bitcoin di Indonesia ?

Well, the cash-out option can actually be very beneficial, but this depends on two situations. First, if a bettor or gambler applies the option and then turns out to be the right choice, they will greatly appreciate the feature. Second, if a bettor applies the option and turns out to be the wrong choice, they will regret the cash-out option. Therefore, it all depends on the final outcome, and as gamblers, we should be wise in making this choice. Simply put, consider all the possible outcomes before making the choice. If the outcome doesn't go your way, you won't regret the cash-out decision too much.

Personally, I once cashed out in the middle of a soccer match I was betting on. I chose that option out of doubt, but the end result was a big win. I may have regretted it a bit at the time, but because I had considered the possibilities, I was prepared for it and didn't regret it too much. So, in essence, it's all about how we approach the outcome.

There are actually many ways to manage our gambling activities and avoid addiction, and I think everyone's path is different. Personally, I used to be an addicted gambler, but fortunately, I'm no longer. This is due to the large amount of time I have to allocate to other positive activities, such as work, exercise, and of course, more time with family. These are some of the main factors that leave me with little time to gamble. On the other hand, I have financial responsibilities to my family, so that is also an important factor in realizing the importance of good money management for gambling, and I usually set a bankroll that I can afford to lose.

Personally, gambling with a ratio of once a week is a good thing I think, because it really makes me safe and comfortable when gambling, both in terms of time and finances as I said.

I believe some privacy coins still exist due to their strong communities, which allows them to maintain their existence. However, some exchanges have delisted them due to pressure from governments or regulators, a sign that governments hate privacy. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with privacy coins. If the reason is the potential for misuse, then I think the fault lies with their users. This leads me to ask, "How is it possible that if a murderer uses a knife to commit the crime, the government would ban the use of knives and knife makers?"

Apart from that, I think that the pressure of governments and regulators on privacy coins is their way of making the coins die slowly, so that they don't need more effort to finish it, and this is my assumption, cmiiw.

I think you are right. I also don't think El Salvador has completely abandoned Bitcoin, as we know that El Salvador has already reaped many benefits from Bitcoin, so I think that is true.

If we are talking about Bitcoin adoption by many parties, whether companies, countries or institutions, then I also think that is enough to show that Bitcoin doesn't need to be legal tender, as I said before. However, not all countries have adopted Bitcoin yet, so we can conclude that this is still in its early stages and will take time. Therefore, we can really take advantage of this before it actually happens, and especially as retailers, we can start to take advantage of it, perhaps with one of the DCA methods, which is considered a good approach.

Essentially, all advertisements strive to attract customers or users. They employ various marketing techniques, including controlling the viewer's emotions, as you mentioned. However, I prefer to describe it as touching the viewer's emotions (rather than controlling them).

Therefore, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. If we look at advertisements other than gambling, they also attempt to appeal to the viewer's emotions. For example, food and beverage advertisements use compelling stories and visuals to achieve this. So, there's nothing inherently wrong with that, because advertisements can't force us. We have the freedom to follow them or not, and our minds also act as a barrier. Therefore, we must realize that we must think before taking any action, including gambling or purchasing food or beverages, as I mentioned. If we don't think, we could suffer losses, whether material or non-material. In essence, too much of anything is not good.

Although El Salvador was among the countries that made Bitcoin legal tender, it ultimately reversed its decision. This was due to pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as well as public criticism for various reasons, and it is matched as you said.

I believe there are many challenges for a country to make Bitcoin legal tender. We know that many things must be changed to make it happen, including regulations and changes to existing rules. Even if a country seems to be pushing for such a decision, it will still face many challenges. However, I don't think this seems to have affected Bitcoin demand. I believe Bitcoin adoption is expanding, not necessarily limited to legal tender, and could even be likened to a policy of using Bitcoin as a strategic reserve within a country. Regarding the high demand for Bitcoin that I mentioned, El Salvador is still making purchases despite the policy changes. It's also worth noting that El Salvador still legalizes Bitcoin for private trade. So, in essence Bitcoin will continue to be widely adopted, sooner or later, it will definitely happen.

I think you are right. I remember trying auto-bet bots at an online casino. When I first tried them, I lost several times because I didn't think through a solid strategy. But then I tried the martingale strategy. I set it up so that if I lost, I'd automatically increase my stake (until I made a profit). Then, if I made a profit, I'd return to my base bet. I remember betting at odds of 1.1 to 1.2. However, as you said, I eventually gave up on using it because the strategy I thought was the best was a losing streak. Despite some wins, it still had the potential to fail, as gambling is essentially a game of chance. And, one more thing that really made me stop using it is because I feel like it's really no entertainment at all, I feel like it's better to use my gut feeling than to use those auto-bet bots, because it's more challenging and entertaining, especially when our guess is right in the crucial moments.

Well, this is a similar story to other cases, when someone publicly displays their crypto holdings, they are subject to surveillance. Therefore, we should learn from cases like this to avoid similar situations. If we think about it, actually there is no point in publicly displaying our crypto holdings, especially if they are substantial, it only serves to lure thieves. Even if someone wants to disclose their crypto holdings, it is best to simply say "I have" and avoid revealing the amount, or even show the address, as we know that doing so would be dangerous, and it is the same as revealing a secret place or the location of a private safe to the public.
