No need for the loan- thanks again shasan!!

Like you pointed out, there is freedom in trading. You are not restricted to a specific time-frame due to no regulation in the trading market by the government. While there may be some whales that can relatively manipulate the price, it is not as worst in trading where giant conglomerates hold like 51% of a respective stock which can lead to inside trading.

Personally, BTC has created an opportunity for me to work online. I never imagined seeing myself working online and receiving this amount of BTCs weekly due to campaign signatures. While this kind of visioned is too specific, it significantly helped me and my family in alleviating our expenses weekly.

This depends actually since you also mentioned about posting only your "winnings" and not your losses.

Posting your winnings and the amounts that you received respectively can most likely influence other people from gambling as well when they see your winnings. The potential danger here is not about chasing your losses but actually influencing the younger generation in this destructive habit. Maybe to balance this out, you should also post your losses as this can be considered your "wake-up call" in choosing NOT to gamble further.

I would highly avoid using any crypto signals found on Telegram groups.

Remember that these kinds of schemes are created primarily for profit. Though they may create/make claims and promises of receiving returns in a "xxx" amount of time, it is most likely a scam that will attract newbies to invest on their project. I personally witnessed these kinds of schemes and almost every group has the same format, feature, and scheme introduced.

Remember that this is the beauty of cryptocurrencies- you are the one responsible for creating your own kind of signals and skills in order to prevent imminent loss from your resources.

Remember what happened to Zimbabwe? Their currency basically had no value at all due to the sheer amount of printing of money. The increase of supply in the money basically made it worthless to the point that their currency was denominated as "one hundred trillion dollars."

Like what you mentioned, if the printing of money cannot be backed by an equivalent of gold reserves or resources, then you are just decreasing the overall value of your currency which will make the economy hyperinflated.

Lots of people have been associating gambling with anything that involves risks due to their nature. But they fail to understand that gambling is purely luck, which cannot give absolute and direct results.

While investing in cryptocurrencies may include that chance of doubling/tripling your investment, gambling is entirely different from the former. Though this kind of misconception has been viewed, still, their common denominator which is the element of risk is present. But in its entirety, cryptocurrencies and gambling are two (2) different worlds with different purposes that cannot be singled out with each other.

I think it depends but if the online gambling website requires it, then I am obliged to comply.

It is somehow implied that if an online gambling website asks for KYC, they are mandated by their government to follow their respective laws. Though this may seem unsecured, it is actually the other way around- you are somehow more secured by sending KYC documents as the government can now intervene in the event of a mishap or scam on the part of the gambling website.

Unfortunately, even exchanges ask for KYC documents nowadays. Our local exchange has been so strict to the point that it even asked for the ITR of my parents to prove that the BTC coming from my account is not contraband or illegal.

Interesting- I do think that he will win this case. As far as I know, in a game of chance, any technicality is construed and favoured against the gambling company due to the nature of such risk present. In this case, the gambling company cannot argue that they cannot pay the winnings on the person due to a mere technicality in their system.

Put it this way- assuming that the person lost the bet, can he claim back the amount he wagered due to technical issues experienced by the gambling company? This is really convenient for the gambling website as they can always argue and raise the issue of "technicality" to avoid paying their customers.

I think the ranking system has to do something with the purpose of the individual- like does he want to rank-up in order to get higher payment rates in signature campaigns; or does he think that ranking is immaterial in his/her overall stay in this forum?

Users like LoyceV and others who attained thousands of merits have one (1) common purpose- which is to contribute to the overall experience and knowledge about this forum. So I do think it boils down to the purpose of the individual on why he/she joined in this forum in the first place.

I doubt that El Salvador will be the richest country despite making BTC as their legal tender.

Remember that there are several factors that you must consider on how you define a country's richness. Just because they can potentially acquire tons of BTC does not entirely mean that they will be the richest country. Unfortunately, a country can be rich if they are placed geographically right on the Earth. With their tons of natural resources, they may capitalize this advantage and turn it into richness and money.

While BTC may be the future of currency, this fact alone cannot withstand the other factor that may make a country rich.

This is a seemingly simple question but a very important one given that every gambler copes with their respective methods.

The problem with some is that, they cope their losses through gambling again in order to recover such. This puts them in a situation where they are in a cycle- a vicious cycle of betting, losing, recovering, and betting again. This can be potentially dangerous especially if they cannot escape this kind of mindset and situation.

Personally, I cope via doing the hobbies that I am accustomed with. I play video games and/or just read/watch videos on YouTube- so basically, anything to distract my mind from remembering that I had lost an amount of money in my gambling spree.

If I were to win a huge amount of money, I would definitely stay quiet and only treat my family with the money I won. The essence of gambling is about sharing- knowing that the proceeds that I won are purely for savings and for extra cash to be used for my family.

What is definitely important is NOT to make gambling as a lifestyle since that could be potentially destructive and disruptive. The problem with most gamblers is that they are stuck in this cycle where they continue to gamble despite winning/losing huge amounts of money in the process.

I do think that the world is slowly adapting to a digitalized version of services. The more that innovations would be introduced, the more that our current system of payment methods would also improve. Along with this change, the introduction of BTC and the blockchain would be very relevant in the coming future.


It is already time for the world to start embracing this concept. There are already some countries who started to integrate cryptocurrencies to their finances and economics. For example, there are countries who started to recognize and use BTC as a form of legal tender in their country. Also, there are also countries that would set-up different cryptocurrency islands for its further development.

Definitely! Exchanges (even local exchanges) provide a platform for people to convert easily one's BTC to their desired currency. In addition, the exchange would provide the utmost convenience to the users who are planning to enter this space. I remember, there are dozens of users who are curious about BTC, but they find it too complicated on how one it would convert it to cash (using the p2p of Binance).

Personally, the presence of our local exchange in the Philippines provided the convenience of converting our BTCs to our local currency. Not only does it provide accessibility 24/7, but it also has the option of paying your bills immediately.

Interesting enough, I have not encountered any PMs renting out my signature in order to advertise a certain gambling establishment, local exchange, or mixer.

Though there may be some forum users who post regularly, I have yet to encounter this kind of offer. But like what you mentioned, newbies cannot wear any signatures- so the offers of renting out their signature space cannot be made applicable to what OP is referring to.

The bottomline conclusion is- always be doubtful and skeptical. If you receive a random message informing you to invest or to try a certain wallet and/or links, be skeptical that it is a scam. Again, it is wholly better to prevent a scam than to cure a scam!

If this were to happen to me, I would definitely submit a ticket explaining on why they do not want to pay my winnings.

Assuming that their reply is insufficient, if they have an account and thread in this forum, I would also report it and post a scam accusation against them. This would inform majority of the people to avoid and to prevent gambling from this website. If they are a popular online gambling website, chances are that the reputation that they built would crumble in an instant the moment they screw up with at least one (1) guaranteed transaction.

As for legal means, I doubt that I would be able to do something about it given that online gambling is not properly regulated by the government. Any winnings/losings in a game of chance, under the law, would be against us.

A popular online gambling website such as bitsler will not ban any account without any proper investigation and information. They will definitely not risk ruining the years of building their trusted membership and reputation due to banning one (1) account only- so rest assured that the decision that they made was taken seriously.

Are you sure that you did not violate any of their TOS agreement? Bear in mind that the use of VPNs in most gambling websites is prohibited and may be a cause on why your account is blocked. Like what they said, they do not have the information right now so best to do is to wait, OP.

I remember the time where BTC reached this price peak and I refused to convert it to cash thinking that the trend would to increase. A few months after such peak, its price dropped and slowly it failed to recover from this price point.

I definitely agree with your statement- if the price increases tenfold or at least the initial price, then it is a good time to sell at least 50% of your total coins. You will definitely never know when its price would increase/decrease as it is also dependent on current events.

I think that there are some online gambling websites that publish or show real-time winnings on their website and the amount wagered by a certain player. But I do not think that they will certainly disclose the actual name of these players, despite having a KYC function required by them.

Like what some have asked, does the USA publicize the winners of their lottery? Like what you mentioned, this will pose some serious and potential threats of danger to their security if this should happen.

I do not think so- remember that most online gambling websites are respectively mandated by their government to provide KYC documents.

With the popularity of online gambling due to the pandemic, the government has recognized its existence and the need for it to tax in order to provide additional revenue. Bearing this in mind, it is nothing but obvious for them to tax these online establishments for proper regulation of the stream of revenue.

While you do not entirely agree with KYC on crypto gambling, remember that this is only a security feature installed by the government.
