Unfortunately, the people who claim that bitcoin is 'dead' are mostly the ones who have nothing to do or personally invested in BTC.

I remember back in 2017, BTC prices were around $4,000 on the market. The price was consistently fluctuating and when 2018 came, its price skyrocketed reaching an ATH of ~$19,000. The news broke out and majority of the people invested and purchased BTC without even knowing the cause of such price increase. Unfortunately after a few weeks/months, the price crashed and majority of the people who just started investing lost their money.

The problem is, the same people who lost their money from their investment are also the ones who kept spreading false information and news about BTC being a 'scam'.

It really depends but helping to charity must be done wholeheartedly. Remember, we are in no obligation to help the needy but we have such compassionate attitude that we extend our help to them. Maybe a better idea would be to decrease your allocation to your gambling activities by 10-20% and give remainder to the ones who need it.

Gambling is a habit that can potentially destroy a person's livelihood if not controlled. In order to help other people, you must help yourself first by dividing and spending your money wisely.

Actually I am not hiding my gambling activity maybe because I am not that addicted to it? In fact, I am very open with my gambling activity as I often treat my parents and brothers whenever I win in the physical casino!

I think it is very important that you should inform your parents and/or peers about your gambling habits. In this way, they would know if you are too deep and invested into this habit and they would be the ones helping you getting out of this bottomless pit.

This is somehow a difficult boundary to draw a line with- you are dealing with an online casino who abides with their respective laws in their country vs respecting the privacy of the person on your gambling website. Personally, there are lots of people who consider KYC as a make or break function in their choice of gambling due to the volume and amount of bets they do in a gambling website.

Though implementing more features and security may determine if a person is laundering money, this could be destructive in the gambling owner's perspective in attracting more users to its database.

This is interesting- can you expound on the meaning of "certainty" on what you just stated?

Generally, I tend to disregard the odds stipulated and just go with my gut on the bets that I usually encounter. More importantly, I also follow the bets that most people offer in the live betting website, so I am curious on how you go with the definition of "certainty.:

As much as possible, I also go all out on bets that I am sure that the odds are higher on my favour (e.g. sportbets, etc.).

This is also the reason on why only a few countries remained monarchy given on how much power is given to Kings and Queens and the costs of maintaining all of their properties plus service.

I think this should be resolve in a case-to-case basis. Given that Queen ruled and devoted for 70 years in her country, I think it is just necessary that the inheritance for King Charles should be waived and be exempted on paying taxes. As long as their laws allow such, then I definitely see no problem with it; though the tax that should have been paid will be for the benefit of their citizens.

I agree with you.

Again, choosing a gambling casino is like going/visiting to your favorite restaurant or store. It is all about brand-building where you develop a trust between your customers over the positive feedback and service that you provided. Sure, some gambling casinos might copy the design of Stake or its system but if they fail to meet the needs of their customers, they will not be preferred.

Like what I also previously mentioned, gambling casinos have to develop this certain relationship where a fiduciary trust must be developed. That is why, customer support is very essential between the player and the gambling website in solving their respective issues.

This is actually true- may nabasa and napanood ako na video sa TedTalk na inexplain nila ang uses ng blockchain for logistic uses. For example, sabihin nating may QR code ang isang produkto tapos scinan mo, makikita mo yung database kung saan nanggaling yung isang produkto (e.g. prutas) tapos makikita mo na dumaan ito sa iba't ibang factories.

Napakadaming application ang pwedeng magawa ng blockchain sa isang produkto. Pero the fact na si DOST mismo ang may initiative para dito means na ang bansa natin ay leaning on towards accepting cryptocurrency soon.

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Not only did this forum provide anonymity where you are free to share your thoughts without being apprehended (as long as you follow the forum rules). This is what Satoshi envisioned- to have a forum where people would continuously discuss and share their thoughts on cryptocurrencies where people would also adapt and create innovations on new altcoins.

Not only did this forum provide such but it also gave us the opportunity to earn our BTCs through various processes and methods.

Just to share to you a similar story, the way BTC changed not only my life but also the life of my family is just amazing.

It is really difficult to earn money in a third-world country. Competition is too high given that job opportunities pay below our minimum wage ($10-$15/day). Not to mention, those jobs that pay below the MW are the ones that require strenuous effort and taxing jobs. This forum gave me the opportunity of working conveniently online. Not only did it help me support my education, but it also supported in alleviating some of the expenses in our household.

I hope that people would become more aware of the opportunities that BTC provided.

Yes definitely- I sometimes called and refer to it as the "cycle of gambling."

Unfortunately, the basic instinct of a person whenever he/she experiences a loss is to quickly recover it through gambling again. This creates a cycle wherein a person would have this hope of recovering all of his losses but in reality, he would just incur more losses in the process.

Unfortunately, this happens too many often and the remedy is to actually bring someone with you to act as your "limiter" in order to avoid going on with your limits. Another remedy is NOT to bring your credit card and only to bring a handful amount of cash to prevent from overspending.

I do think that cryptocurrency casinos is just the incident of it- the primary purpose is to establish an online gambling website that is compatible with cryptocurrencies. Basically, it just your typical online gambling website but the payment options and payouts that are available are cryptocurrencies.

The implementation of KYC documents is for the benefit of the casino since it has to comply with the existing laws in a country. If they fail to comply, then the licenses will be revoked, thus losing their progress and website in an instant.

It is potentially dangerous if you COMPLETELY and ABSOLUTELY rely on cryptocurrencies without any stable income to back it.

The problem with fully committing with cryptocurrencies is that the latter's nature is generally risky and unforeseeable. You literally have no clue when its price may increase/decrease, even though there are tests and researches done in the market. If you fully commit to cryptocurrencies, you would definitely see a fluctuations on your investment as time goes by.

It all depends on your preference, but generally here some things that you should consider:

• KYC;
• Active customer support service;
• The overall layout/design of the website
• Overall feedback of the community; and
• The games that they offer as a whole.

Generally, the abovementioned list works to any gambling website that you should choose as this touches upon the feedback that majority of the users say in the community. If you are sensitive with KYC, then choose a casino that does not offer such. But more importantly, choose a casino that has an overall good feedback in order to avoid scams and delays on your payment.

@condoras, with the emergency that I relayed to you on in our personal message, I have sent the 0.0015 BTC (half of the remaining 0.003 BTC balance) to your wallet address. Again, thank you very much for your kind and understanding consideration!

Success is relative which can be defined in various of ways. For example, a rich man would suggest that he is successful if he earns around millions of $$$ in his pocket; while an average worker in a third-world country may define success as having to provide with his family while saving at least money for emergency purpose.

People nowadays are too focused on getting rich, which is not entirely wrong. But they have to understand that everything has to start from somewhere. Every person must persevere and learn from all their mistakes in order to avoid the pitfalls that most people have experienced.

Just like in cryptocurrency, understanding the market and learning all the aspects may give you a chance of becoming successful but it is in no means an absolute formula of getting one rich.

The problem with communicating something that is novel to a person is getting their interest. No matter how articulate and complete you try to explain cryptocurrencies, if the person is just not interested, then your efforts will be going to waste.

Just asking a simple question can do the trick! You might also want to show your earnings to your relatives; or show them your mining equipments, etc. in order to at least give them the framework of your idea. Once they start asking questions, their curiosity would spark that will eventually turn into interest.

Oh this should be clearly written and stated on the gambling website. If you have plans on implementing KYC function, then it must be introduced at the earliest stage possible whenever a person would like to create an account.

If the gambler deposits money without requiring any KYC but in order to get their profits they have to submit KYC documents, this would put them on a heavily prejudiced situation which might cost the reputation of your gambling website. This would result to a very unfair situation to the player as this would basically compel them to submit these documents.

Sa totoo lang, sa ganitong panahon talaga wala ka magagawa but to take advantage of its volatility while mababa pa ang presyo nito sa market. Given din na may price fluctuations over the past week, kung habol mo ang short-term profit, then magandang opportunity siguro ito para makapag earn ka pero yun nga careful na lang kasi nag babago talaga presyo nito at any time.

Personally, majority ng mga BTCs na nakukuha ko sa campaign ko tinatabi ko na lang. The fact na nag p3M ang BTC last year means may opportunity siguro ito na bumalik sa ganitong presyo niya- pero yun nga lang, talagang waiting game muna.

Just like any technology that has been present, there is always that adaptation that people have to embrace. This forum was created in order to be the main repository and discussion of all crypto-related news/threads. As such, it exists solely on the internet, like social media, etc. It just so happened that this is a forum.

The limitations that you posted can also be applicable to anything that solely exists in the internet. But the biggest difference is the wallet that some local exchanges have.

As someone who lives in a third-world country, my biggest limitation is indeed the source of internet. With the latter being an essential rather than a want, at this day and age, people should have at least some stable connection in their homes in order to access this privilege.
