I plan to learn futures trading and dive into it fully, I've been demo trading for a while now and I've been doing fine and I think I can make the big jump now maybe because the exchange I'm using is offering events for first time futures traders lol
But I'm sure you guys have traded futures a lot, how hard is it compared to spot?
Everything is about leverage. If you trade futures with 1x leverage, then it's not different from Spot trading but as you increase your leverage, you increase your chance of high profit and high loss. Everything becomes more tough when you start opening short position besides long positions because in case of short, if price starts increasing, you are going to lose money and if you use leverage, there are sometimes chances that price will hugely pump for a few minutes, that can be enough to liquidate you. It's the same for long position with high leverage, sometimes price significantly falls down for a few minutes and that can liquidate you too. Futures trading can potentially double, triple and offer you far more profits but the risk is going as well. Don't be too confident that you'll manage it. If you want, try it yourself but don't be too confident, it's not as bright as it looks from one look. |

What a good feel to have for long period of time low fees, i really miss it, i remember the bad and not s long ago time when consolidate some tx was a nightmare thanks to the ordinal boys. Look at Mempool Goggles, it's still 80-90% spam:  Barely anyone makes real normal Bitcoin transactions, and that's really bad. The majority of transactions are between 1-4 sat/vb range but I can't check on mempool.space how much of them are normal Bitcoin transactions. In the upcoming 7 blocks, majority of transactions are ordinals transactions and another part is UTXO consolidations. I don't know why there is not a high activity of normal Bitcoin transactions, that looks strange to me. Now I think, what if ordinals were really banned? Btw it's good that the transaction fee is 6 sat/vb. How correct is Coinjoin filter on mempool.space? After all the problems that happened to Bitcoin mixers, I was expecting increase in conjoin transactions but according to mempool.space, people don't coinjoin. |

Wow, now this makes sense. I was always using custodial wallets but now I understand the benefits of WEB3 wallet. At the moment, Metawin accepts Metamask, Coinbase, WalletConnect or Phantom wallet. Guys, which wallet do you recommend? Paying customers winnings in any amount is the casino's obligation. The problem can sometimes occur because casinos want to check whether it is a fair win without any abuse
Let be honest, most the time on sector gambling always have more problems it's always (Sportbooks) sectors. Almost every casino has a problem when you win a huge amount of money. As I understand, WEB3 casinos like Metawin, offers you a piece of mind by accepting deposits and withdrawals via web3 wallet without a human interaction, this sounds interesting. |

Some good news after so many wasted years. This man deserves more than this because he ruined the life of many people. He is the reason why Bitcoin.org had to remove Bitcoin Whitepaper for UK people, he abused the court's process for so many years. He is a fraudster who wanted to gain access to Satoshi's Bitcoin by getting approval from a judge and forcing Bitcoin Core developers to help him reclaim those million Bitcoins.
I hope not only his assets gets frozen but every asset that he held and moved on relative's names would get frozen too because it's cheating that people like him often do. Congrats Craig, you'll reap what you sow.

The Netherlands could be different in this match even though that is not necessarily true. I choose the Netherlands as the favorite team to win over Turkiye. Netherlands wins, Türkiye loses. Türkiye's struggle has ended and they deserve high appreciation after being underestimated in the previous match against Austria. In the match against the Netherlands, Türkiye played well, but luck was not on their side. The Dutch dominated the match and launched many attacks, but the decisive goal was an own goal from a Turkish player which was very painful in the end. Meanwhile, Spain and France have already qualified for the semifinals, England and the Netherlands are another match. Two great matches will be of great interest, this is the most exciting Euro to look forward to until the final. Turkey deserved to win. They were attacking more, were creating more chances, were more dangerous and exceeded expectations while the Netherlands didn't show us what we wanted to see from them but their defence was amazing, their defenders protected themselves from possible goals. It was a very nice match, if Turkey plays this way and improves in the next four years, they'll be a serious threat and might even reach to semi-finals or final. Spain - France, England - Netherlands <-- really two great matches. I think that Spain will win against France but I have no idea what's going to happen between England and the Netherlands. |

Why I started This Topic : I was helping my nephew do his assignment about mental health when I stumbled an article about ADHD and gambling. What is an ADHD Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is generally characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. You can still live the fullest life even if you have ADHD it will not hinder your capacity to live the life that you want Some of the world’s greatest achievers with ADHD include Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Walt Disney But if there's one thing that a person with ADHD cannot do, and that is to gamble. Why Someone with ADHD Should Avoid Gambling in All of its Forms
Proven Link Between ADHD and Gambling Disorder
One of the primary symptoms of ADHD is impulsivity. From a behavioral perspective, impulsivity is characterized by a number of actions that are inappropriate or even dangerous to a given situation. Those without impulse control tend to act quickly with no thought to consequences. It should therefore come as no surprise that ADHD and gambling are intrinsically linked. Lack of impulse control certainly sets the table for trouble when it comes to casino gaming and sports betting. https://kindbridge.com/gambling/adhd-and-gambling/So, if, after reading this article or any other article about ADHD and gambling, you know someone close to you who is gambling, how will you react? How will you approach them even if they tell you that they are not harming themselves with how they gamble? Note: I will be locking this thread after 40 replies or 4 days to avoid the topic becoming redundant I have ADHD and I can confirm that when I was gambling, I was laser-focused on the casino game, particularly to live blackjack, it made me feel happy and in the zone. This sounds like addicting but there is a truth in your thread's title, I didn't get addicted to gambling because I find everything boring. While it comes with its pros, the negative side is that I find it very hard to focus on my job, on my profession and my career but when it comes to addiction, self-control plays a huge role. You should understand that you have to stop if you lose self-control because in such cases, even having ADHD can't help you because gambling releases dopamine in your brain and makes you focused on the game with elevated mood. |

And we are through penalties... I really liked Switzerland in extra time. They got so close to scoring another goal. Especially that bold attempt by Shaqiri from that corner.  It could have been an iconic goal. England have a really bad history with penalties in such competitions. I'm wondering if we will see another example of it. I really like Sommer as for penalties. He has been like a beast about penalty saving but we will see. Switzerland can still win this but they are going to rely on their goalkeeper the most. Because England has many more quality players. If England lose, I don't think the board will wait much for sacking Southgate.  As one of the strong candidates to win, England should have been able to get rid of Switzerland in normal time, but Southgate squad was lucky to qualify after going through a round of luck. Southgate doesn't seem to have found the right strategy to overcome the dullness of the front line, I think Southgate must have the courage to take a stand to rotate a number of players in the next match. Switzerland played well throughout the match, they managed to put up fierce resistance, and I think they were just unlucky today. Regardless of the way the match goes, concerns about England chances in the next round are increasing. we will wait for the results of the match between Netherlands versus Turkiye, and see who will face England in the semifinals. Overall, England journey to the semifinals was relatively easy, because they did not face other top teams. I predict that the Netherlands will be a strong candidate as England opponent in the semifinals, Southgate fate will be at stake in that match. Switzerland played very well in this euro, they were a tough opponent. I wanted Switzerland to win because they deserved it. When it came to penalties, I was expecting magic from Sommer because he is one of the best penalty stoppers but he failed and England won. Congratulations to all English fans. The last three matches, Spain - Germany, France - Portugal and Swiss - England was really very exciting, all of these matches went overtime and two of them went to penalties, have we seen this before recently? I watch football since 2008 and I don't remember it. P.S. Turkey just scored against Netherlands. This euro is so full of surprises. |

I saw a video on my social media there's a restaurant that using AI and almost 100% automated, I thought it's a new video, but actually it has been around for six months. If this trend keep continue, what the world would be? many people will become unemployed and not all people can become engineers. Middle class people will become poor as they don't get decent jobs, will we see a big revolution that the poor to clash against the rich? I'm not sure if this happen in your country or not, but in my country most companies don't want to make their employees become permanent workers anymore, they only want contract workers because the companies don't have to give compensation to fired contract workers. I understand that permanent workers are just a "myth", but if the companies suffer bad financial and want to reduce the employees, they would fire the contract workers first, so permanent workers are safer.  I think that at first, rich countries will be able to buy AI robots and make them work. These rich countries will give pensions to people who don't work because we can't kill them, they need money and food to survive. The business will make lots of profit and save employees but this is a very long-term plan because these AI robots will be very expensive and far from being affordable. It will take years to perfect them and integrate them into workspaces. When that happens, humans will be able to live without working. AI will be slowly integrated into poor and developing countries. I assume that their governments will think about giving pensions to their citizens but pensions in poor countries will be much lower than in rich nations. That's how our lives will change with AI. |

From basic economic principles, if you have a higher capital, you will certainly have higher returns compared to starting with a smaller capital. If you're just chasing returns or expecting a huge profit margin but pay slight attention to how much you use as your capital, even when you make a profit, the extent of your profit will largely depend on how much is your Capital.
REMEMBER
50% profit on $1000 is $500
5% profit on $100,000 is $5000
THE IMPLICATION IS;
Don't chase bigger returns, chase more capital. This is also applicable to How much you invest in Bitcoin and how much profit you can get from it.
How can you chase more capital when you don't have capital and the whole purpose of your investment is to get a huge profit margin to increase the capital? That's the issue here. What you say only applies to rich people and they are smart enough to prioritize low risk - low reward returns instead of chasing bigger returns. You need to overtake inflation in your country, I'm not sure which country you live, but in my country the inflation rate stated by central banks is 6%, but the reality the inflation rate is around 10%-15%.
If inflation is so high in your country, try to save money in USD, Euro or GBP. Bitcoin is definitely the best option but if you want to keep some cash, don't keep local currency. |

In the match between Portugal and France I noticed the weakness of Portugal's clear finishing. In this important match, Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be absent from the field. Throughout the match he was only seen going close to the ball a few times and wasted the ball every time it came to him. Portugal might have won before extra time if they could have finished better than the chances they had. But unfortunately after 120 minutes of play neither team could score against either side so the result was confirmed by Tiebreaker where France won by a wide margin. Cristiano Ronaldo's last Euro tournament was where he did nothing of note for the team.
I would say Portugal lost this match because of their match strategy. It is true that Ronaldo's presence was not seen in this match. But this is also due to poor match strategy. The ball is not delivered to Ronaldo. Portugal's players made a lot of shots. But most were off target. If the Portugal coach had made his match strategy based on Ronaldo, maybe Portugal's gameplay would have been more organized in this match. Portugal's players completely ignored Ronaldo in this match. I watched the entire match. The Portugal coach should have made a match strategy based on Ronaldo. However, in this match both the defenders and goalkeeper Khui performed well. Both teams played attacking. If the goalkeepers and defenders were not good, we would have seen several goals in this match. I think that the coach didn't want Ronaldo to play but he couldn't bench him on the seat because the ex-manager did that and lost his job. Ronaldo's influence is big. I know that he wants his team to win but he should face the fact that he is old. I think that Ronaldo intentionally decreased his activity in the match and let others to play more. It is what it is, a very sad moment for Ronaldo, his fans and the Portuguese. Btw EURO 2024 posted Ronaldo's image with title - The Last Dance? It was with a question mark. Does anyone think that Cristiano Ronaldo will play in EURO 2028? I personally think that Cristiano will play in the World Cup 2026 and then retire. To my mind, WC 2026 will be his last dance. He already won EURO, so this is not a big deal. I'm also very sad for Tony Croos, he deserved a better ending. |

Do we have people from Russia here who have experienced or witnessed where the game "Russian roulette" has been played? I was just reading about some kind of game, and I happened to come across it. I have watched a movie where such a game is being played, but I never believed such a game could be legal. Russian roulette (Russian: Pyccкaя pyлeткa, romanized: Russkaya ruletka) is a potentially lethal game of chance in which a player places a single round in a revolver, spins the cylinder, places the muzzle against the head or body (of the opponent or themselves), and pulls the trigger. If the loaded chamber aligns with the barrel, the weapon will fire, killing or severely injuring the player. A game that's played at the expense of one's life, if you are unlucky that very day, will all end in the loser losing his life or being shot in any part of the body that the pistol is placed on, and the winner will walk home with the winning award. Does this kind of game still exist? That's if it was ever played the way I read about it online. And how can people take risk of playing such game ? Man, this was an old thing. One of the first mentions of Russian Roulette is in Lermontov's novel (19th century). In the past, if you had a grudge on someone and wanted to kill them, you could ask them to play Russian Roulette which they couldn't refuse because that would be a huge shame. Then there would be the game, some people to ensure that the game would be fair and then someone would die, someone would live. I don't know how long it was legal, definitely it was legal for a very long time but it's illegal today. It's the 21st century, such a thing can't be legal because that's killing. Btw such a game still exists, there are people who might play it but that will be played quietly, between the two or a small group of people. |

We've been coming down from $72k and I personally can consider prices down to $60k to be correction which is a strong support. But as we go lower, it becomes harder to call it a correction. It starts looking more like a crash and maybe even market manipulation; speaking of a crash we just touched $57k range.
Bitcoin was overbought, we reached 72K from 15K, there has been steady growth since 2022 and this is the first time in recent history that we reached ATH before halving. Is it a crash? Hard to say, maybe it's a crash but it was unavoidable and I think very normal after such steady growth but it will go to the moon in winter. If Trump were a criminal, I would be more confused with the US constitution and politics. Why did they let a criminal become a presidential candidate? Are they helping and supporting criminals to become president?
Every politician is a criminal but my question is, why did the USA let Biden be a president? This man is a walking dead. My other question would be, in the USA, with a population of 333.3 million people, wasn't there really a better candidate? Also, Trump is 78 years old and Biden is 81, they might die of a heart attack today or tomorrow, were they really unable to find someone younger and more open-minded and sane? |

talking about this part of giving people more freedom in crypto casinos, I remembered that I have been listening to people in my country who go to physical casinos and one day I went to a place where it was very close to the physical casino in my country and being So I went to see what the requirements were to enter the physical casino and play and to my amazement the requirements were only 2: 1 - bring ID that proves you are over 18 years of age 2 - have money And the funny part about this is that when people withdraw the money they won in the physical casino, they just present their ID and withdraw all the money, even when they win millions, and governments don't complain about this, they don't ask for documents of origin of the funds . but when you go to the online casino things become a headache, for example:  Someone would think that he will play calmly and that if he is lucky he will be able to withdraw a lot of money, at least 30 ETH and a lot of money for me. but that person when they read this part of the TOS
1.3 - Source of funds
Verification may be required by every user who have deposited over 5 ETH in any calendar month, there is a process in place to understand the source of wealth (SOW).
Examples of SOW are:
•Ownership of a business
•Employment
•Inheritance
•Investment
•Family
It is critical that the origin and legitimacy of that wealth is clearly understood. If this is not possible an employee may ask for an additional document or proof.
The account may be frozen if the same user deposits either this amount in one go or multiple transactions which amount to this. An email will be sent to them manually to go through the above, and information on the website itself.
1.4 - KYC Trigger:
These steps may be triggered if any player attempts to withdraw an amount exceeding $10,000.
source: https://metawin.com/games/kyc/most of the people who play in crypto casinos are people who have bought cryptocurrencies for years and do hodl, make money from subscription campaigns, make money from investing in altcoins, make money from trading, make money from being bounty hunters. how these people will do when asked for the origin of the funds? I have no doubt that these people will have difficulties. I honestly don't understand what the hell is going on in the heads of these people who set these rules, maybe they are people from Curacao. These are unnecessary rules, as they could impose requirements such as playing with 100% of the amount deposited as a requirement for withdrawal, as there would be no room for money laundering and entering ID and proof of address documents. but they are asking for things like proof of origin of funds to create more headaches for people using crypto casinos I think that Metawin representative on this forum will give you the best answer but as I understood, things are different for regular users and web3 users. Users who deposit on a custodial wallet address have to go through the procedure that you quoted from Metawin's KYC information source and users who use web3 wallet, can withdraw up to 30 ETH almost instantly without human interaction. I think that it's the difference between web3 and custodial wallet users on Metawin but I might be wrong, no one should depend on my theory. Let's wait for the answer from Metawin officially or if anyone is in a hurry, please ask to their moderators on Discord. |

AviatriX_game
Are you finally officially launched or not? 2 July was the date but you haven't officially announced it here, however, there you come with a promotion.
I recently visited aviatrix and got two bonuses, one bonus worth of 2 Euro and another bonus worth of 10 Euro. If I win and wager them 30 times successfully, how will I be able to withdraw them? At the moment I see no registration or login area on Aviatrix. It only lets me play the demo version but I still got the bonus. Btw I understood bitdegree contest, I have to connect my metamask or coinbase wallet and complete rounds. I'll be back and share my experience when I do that.
I really enjoy your game and can't wait to see the marketplace in live action.

this is a god awful post . no bull run ever lasts too long.
btw I would argue this is not a bullrun for mining ⛏️ so we are nowhere close to a full on bull run.
It wasn't a god awful post as you see and as it looks, I was on point. Soon after my post, the crypto market crashed. Today Bitcoin is worth 54K, it was up 72K when I created this thread, a month ago. My point was that the price was going up for a very long time without a downward and that was very impressive, even despite the fact that Bitcoin and Eth ETFs were approved. We moved from 15K to 72K from 2022 without a stop, without a downfall and that was very unusual because price usually starts rising in winter, after summer halving. I think that it will fall down to 30K and then will start a very successful bull run. Charts speak that. |

we can see that there are casinos that are proven to be scams that force them to continue running campaigns on forums in the past. Maybe gamblers will still have an assessment of the casino's reputation.
Those casinos that continue to operate despite receiving negative tags may be forced to stop eventually, as that will only result in their money running dry. We are in a forum where running a business is measured by its reputation, so if a casino has a bad reputation, what's the purpose of marketing if they are not getting a positive result? People here are not naive and they understand how the forum works and can see if a certain casino with an ANN thread can be trusted or not. Casinos come here to build a positive reputation first. As they grow a positive reputation, they will slowly become popular and attract more gamblers to their platform. However, the moment they ruin their reputation, it becomes hard to fix, and gamblers will easily leave, so that's most likely the end of their life here. Bitfury only has 1 negative trust and it's about changing the affiliate deal, it's not about casino scamming users and not letting them withdraw their money. In overall, their negative trust is visible on their profile account. When someone googles something, visits Bitcointalk and checks answer from an user that wears a signature campaign of casino, I think that this new guest will click on the signature and visit the casino. People don't put much effort into investigation of the reputation of the casino they play. If they like deals, they'll register. It's only us, long-time members that know what trust rating on Bitcointalk means. Newbies only come here and check trust of casino when they get scammed. To sum up, casino with negative trust rating will not be able to attract local audience but they'll be able to acquire non-bitcointalk users that came here through search engines or other sources. |

I understand that you are angry with them, but you should be angry mainly with yourself because, as you say, you invested everything you have in this casino. Pretty stupid move.
I don't know what to say to that person because Freebitco was very reputable. Can you imagine that they were even promoted by one of the biggest local bank in my country, Georgia, as the way of earning Bitcoin? Btw that was in 2016. How can't you trust a website that was established in 2013 and had no problems for ten years. It was even the website that introduced too many people to Bitcoin. I personally got introduced to Bitcoin by Freebitco.in. It really hurts me to see the downfall and complete abandonment of this casino. Now I really think if Moneypot, Bustabit and Bustadice are the only hope and exceptions or if should I forget them too. Btw Not your keys = Not Your Coins, sadly that's proven every day. |

It took them really a lot of years to understand that Bitcoin is not a problem. Bitcoin is an opportunity and they take it wrongly as a threat. They may not feel the effects directly but Bolivia missed lots of opportunities and lots of fortune by banning Bitcoin and I can prove that with an example of my country. My country took Bitcoin as an opportunity and also decided to implement blockchain technologies in the land title registry. We were among one of the top mining countries in the world too. It brought lots of money, lots of investment and lots of opportunities in our country. It's very sad that Bolivia did the exact opposite and missed such an opportunity.

my view of regulations is that regulations SHOULD be about checking on businesses acting honourably/morally/legally to protect consumers.. not the other way round. regulators should stick to policing the businesses that take custody of their customers assets
however current regulations allow businesses to continue to process a transfer of assets as long as they report on the customer who requested the transfer if the transfer is suspicious. thus it doesnt stop transfers(if illegal/suspicious) it however later on helps capture/punish the person after the crime. thus is not even preventing crime nor prevents the criminal transfer by the service
so current regulations dont even do anything effective to their proposed purpose
I completely agree with you. I will support regulations if they guarantee me that my cryptocurrencies will be safe in hands of the platform where I have them deposited, for example on exchanges. Regulations should monitor exchanges, the way they secure cryptocurrencies and crypto or fiat reserves. There should be implemented mechanisms that will protect customers from financial loss and offer them a legit service. At the moment regulations allow businesses to do whatever they want. They can ask anyone to submit KYC and other identity documents or even freeze funds if they feel that way. At the moment, customers aren't protected when they use crypto services. Regulations don't ask businesses to be more transparent and customer-oriented. They let them open businesses in off-shores and nothing happens when they scam. 1xBit scams thousands of people and no one got arrested for that, there are many other examples too. |

I would like to know what is the most popular Crypto casino game today and in which casino can I play
It's very hard to say what's the most popular crypto casino game today because crypto casinos today are very different from what they were in 2017 and before. I can surely tell you that the game Dice is associated with crypto. It was dice that was the most popular crypto casino game and almost every casino started solely as a dice website. Primedice, Coinroll, Safedice, Satoshidice, Bitsler, FortuneJack, Crypto-Games, Betking and many other very popular crypto casinos were mostly used to play dice and dice was the most common game. Then later crash games became popular everywhere too. Today we see crypto casinos with thousands of games, with live blackjack, live roulette, slots and etc... In the past, that wasn't a common thing. |
