*Coins777 is not in any way related to well known 777coin.com!

Some casinos are not on the list, but they have mixed feedback and they are on my Grey list:

- Duckdice
- Betonline.ag (several scam accusations in forum)
- Bitbook.ag (used fake team member during ICO, later said it was mistake)
- Nitrogensports (Negative feedback, Bad customer support, Confusing rollover rule, Last case was resolved)
- BCH.games (They are converting all Bitcoin deposits to altcoin BCH and you can't withdraw Bitcoin anymore from their casino)


Please consider that some members who left negative feedback are no longer with us.

- Any Casino website listed here is HIGH RISK with multiple complains, but you need to do your own research for each of them and read feedback on their profiles.
- This is NOT a list of Scams, but just my personal list of websites to avoid for betting.
- I can also list a website that has bad software or bad support that don't care about customers.
- Having negative feedback does not guarantee website will be listed here.
- You can suggest more bad casinos and sportsbook if they created topic in bitcointalk forum, and I will consider adding them.

Some of blacklisted Casinos can also be found on BTCGOSU website by member efialtis:

[Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow]

Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow

Source: https://digitalik.net/btc/

Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow model or short BTC S2F is working perfectly so far
Indicators are showing that next year 2021 we may have a possibility of a big boom in price and even more in next halving.

The idea for creating model of value for Bitcoin base on it's scarcity is interesting to follow, and it was first introduced by PlanB.
He explained it more in details few years ago in this medium article translated to many languages.

Let's not blindly follow this, because there are many factors related to value of bitcoin and speculation is also one of them.
Some people also look at MVRV Ratio and MVRV Z-Score, and others just look and infinite government money printer machines
2021 here we come!

Gold vs Bitcoin Stock-to-flow is also interesting:

There are reports that new hackers group called Darkside donated some of the stolen Bitcoins to charity organisation like Children International and The Water Project after they reportedly stole millions of dollars worth Bitcoins.
They are acting like modern day crypto Robin Hood sending 0.88 BTC to both of the charities.

Children International replied that they will not be keeping received Bitcoin if it is connected to hackers.
What are they going to do? Send them Bitcoin back or what send it to police

Hackers also use Unitade States service called The Giving Block that is used by 67 non-profit organisations worldwide.
https://www.thegivingblock.com/

BBC also tried to donate, and they are wondering why there is no kyc verification....
Why would you ever need KYC for donation?!  
Is The Giving Block next in line for some crazy punishment?
I think all world is gone crazy...

[guaranteed]

I am active in gambling forum board and today I received private message in forum from newbie member wbet7pending allegedly platinum member from stake,
offering me guaranteed fixed matches (Real rigged/fixed matches) and asking for payment commission after win and contact on telegram @ampletown
I don't know how many members received similar message from him but I think many who are active in gambling.

I looked at his post history and all of his posts are in WBet7.com, and I don't trust him or anyone selling fixed matches.

I am thinking of running my own Bitcoin non-mining node, and I am considering about using Umbrel that I saw recently.
Good thing about it that they are also supporting privacy with Tor and they are offering free Lightning channel and it is all free software.

Links:
https://getumbrel.com/
https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel

I am reading all instructions, and also thinking of buying Raspberry Pi 4

Am I crazy for doing this and is there any better alternatives I can use?
I appreciate any suggestions and help.

Bitcoin Core 0.21 has interesting news release very important for privacy and that is support for Tor v3 addresses.
Anyone wanting to keep privacy and hide IP address can use this, and Tor addresses v3 are now longer.

Great news from Coinbase that will sposnsor two Bitcoin core developers with first Crypto Community Fund grants.
Bitcoin started as open source without any initial funds and it is amazing that it survived and thrived for so many years, but new developers and projects are always good to have.

Example projects they will be supporting:

- Direct contributions to Bitcoin Core (e.g., improving testing, fuzzing, bug fixes, improvements)
- Significant code and/or Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) review
- Contributor tooling (e.g., bitcoinacks.com, which is open source)
- Bitcoin Core libraries and tools (e.g., libsecp256k1)
- Improvement to testing (e.g., fuzz testing, functional tests)

If you are Bitcoin Core developer you can apply or suggest someone HERE

Good move from Coinbase and I expect other crypto related companies to follow their example, and we want to see more interesting development around Bitcoin.

We heard about Square investing in Bitcoin and I am sure many of you know about Grayscale but let's look at other publicly traded companies who purchased Bitcoin.
Total value for all of them is over $6 billion or around 600,000 BTC, but I am sure there are many more who not so famous or they purchased it with some 3rd party firms.
13 companies are holding around 2.85% of the total supply of Bitcoin.
Let's compare all of them:

449,596 Grayscale
  69,730 CoinShares
  38,250 MicroStrategy
  16,551 Galaxy digital
    8,195 3iQ
    5,215 BTCe
    4,709 Square
    2,954 HUT8
    1,239 Voyager
    1,053 Riot
       215 digital
       204 cypher punk holdings
       126 argo
 
More detailed report on Bitcoin Treasuries website:

https://bitcointreasuries.org/

Some say that Grayscale doesn't own any Bitcoin but that is for debate because they are Investment Trust, and their clients are buyers who own bitcoins.

One indicator is telling me that Bitcoin is preparing for a new major bull run and we are still early.

If we look statistics from 2010 number of Bitcoins sent to exchanges was mostly growing up until February 2020, with few breaks in 2017 and 2018.

Since February 2020 we can see clear reducing number of Bitcoins from Exchanges, and withdrawing to personal wallets.

This is good for many reasons, but most important is that people are in control of their bitcoins.

Rule number one I learned is to never reply to messages from unknown people in forum.
I would also think twice before giving anyone my real email address or telegram account.
Some people can abuse this or ask you for some help and pretend they tell you they will pay you for this help.

This is one example spam message I received today from scammers:

Dear friend,

Please forgive me for stressing you with my predicaments as I know that this letter may come to you as a big surprise. Actually, I came across your E-mail from my personal search afterward I decided to email you directly believing that you will be honest to fulfill my final wish before or after my death.

Meanwhile, I am Madam Elizabeth Edwards, 63 years, from USA, childless and I am suffering from Adenocarcinoma Cancer of the lung for the past 8 years and from all indication my condition is really deteriorating as my doctors have confirmed and courageously advised me that I may not live beyond two months from now for the reason that my tumor has reached a critical stage which has defiled all forms of medical treatment.


Since my days are numbered, I've decided willingly to fulfill my long-time vow to donate you the sum ($8.5 000.000.00) million dollars I inherited from my late husband Mr. Edward Herbart, foreign bank account over years.

If you will be honest, kind and willing to assist in transfer of this money to his or her account and use the funds for charity work of God while you use 50% for yourself. I want you to know there are no risks involved, it is 100% hitch free & safe. If you would be interested to assist in getting this fund into your account for a charity project to fulfill my promise before I die please let me know immediately. I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality as I wait for your reply.

Kindly get back to me at my discreet Email ( mrselizabethedward2@gmail.com ) for further discussion.

Best Regards
Mrs. Elizabeth Edward
mrselizabethedward2@gmail.com

Obvious scam bullshit, so please report anyone sending you anything similar.

[make periodic tweets, maybe including number of total forum users, number of posts, new users and posts per week, or maybe even screenshots of best posts or other stats.]

https://twitter.com/bitcointalk

Official Bitcointalk account has not posted anything on Twitter for more than two years and I think it is time to reactivate it and make periodic tweets,
maybe including number of total forum users, number of posts, new users and posts per week, or maybe even screenshots of best posts or other stats.
We know that CEO Jack Dorsey is a big Bitcoin supporter and that he even said there are some ideas to use blockchain for Twitter.
Twitter is very popular and it can bring new people in forum and create real conversation.

What do you think about this idea and do you know who controls Bitcointalk Twitter account?

Update:

Is anyone else interested in starting a new unofficial Bitcointalk twitter account with basic weekly updates?

[Troll role]

I would like to remind everyone that trolling is not allowed if we read forum rule number 3 here:

3. No trolling.

Number of trolls is growing every day, because they have nothing better to do in their life but to write crap.

Why is that not sanctioned more by moderators?

If they can't be banned, and I think they should, why not give them special Troll role in their profile so that everyone can ignore them and don't reply to their crap?
