1941  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Age of bitcoiners on: June 23, 2022, 12:45:13 AM
This poll actually made me happy- it is refreshing to see that majority of 'bitcoiners' are in the age group of 20-26, which makes the exposure of BTC high compared to when it first released and been operational for the first 5 years.

Though this may be the case, I hope that more people would be able to discover the existence of cryptocurrencies which may spark their curiosity in the process. The more people that utilizes cryptocurrencies in their payment, the more that the government would support it being implemented in their finance and economy.

Looking for more crypto casino options,used to play on stake but had kyc asked over,is there any that has absolutely 0% chance of that being asked ?

ps: if you are a winning player (i know its rare or impossible) or won a big jackpot on any crypto casino, i would like some tips if you can,i can pay for your time,my telegram is @ ellieljonzz

There are tons of gambling websites that do not require any KYC in their system.

Generally, gambling websites do not request for KYC documents as this would somehow ruin and damage the number of potential gamblers registering under their website. Though this may be the case, these casinos that require KYC are mandated by their respective laws to provide such for their protection and regulation. But generally, these websites that require are far more secure and relatively safer compared to other gambling websites that do not request for such.

Check the gambling boards and ask around their respective boards if they require KYC on their website.
1943  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets on: June 22, 2022, 06:37:35 PM
Freebitco's faucet is easily the best one in the list since it's possible to win decent amounts on a regular basis as long as you actively keep trying.

Useful thread though I don't advise depending on faucets as a way to earn money regularly since you will earn dust majority of the time. It would be better to allocate that time to something more productive and useful in my opinion.
I use this Faucet from 2020 and indeed the results are quite good on the other hand apart from their Faucet there are also various features such as Lottery and Betting.
Faucet is not dependent on making money but maybe it can be done and only for part time I think because it is really not worth it to make Faucet as a way to make a lot of money there.

So often we get sucked into something that we think will keep us happy. It's the same with faucets. Don't get me wrong - I think they are great and there are some faucets that are really awesome. As the already mentioned Freebitcoin, for example. But relying on faucets as a way to accumulate cryptos is a bad idea. There are much more cost-effective ways that will take less time and yield better results.


I agree with you.

The problem with faucets lie on its very nature that it is very time consuming and the rewards that you get is relatively low. Instead of spending hours and hours in faucets, it is highly advisable that you focus on other tasks and things in order to maximize your profits. But in the event that you do not have any alternative means of earning cryptocurrencies, then participating into faucets may be the best idea in that kind of capacity.

Hello shasan, it's me again! I'm asking once again for a non-collateral loan which I would pay a week from now or as soon as we receive the proceeds this week from our signature campaign. There are some unexpected bills that I have to pay which compels me to ask again for your loan!


Hello, Shasan!

I wanted to say thank you for the loan extension you granted. Along with that, I increased the interest rate from 0.00225 to 0.0025, as discussed privately with you. The loan literally saved me in paying my monthly obligations!

Below is the transaction history:

Assuming that you did not copy this website to another, here are some of the suggestions that I think that may improve your overall gambling website.

You may opt to change the font of the whole gambling website. Using Arial (if I am not mistaken) somehow makes it dull and boring to look especially for long periods of time. In addition, you should also create a certain and specific theme on your website- for example, big gambling websites have a mascot to represent their gambling website which makes them unique and separate compared to other gambling websites out there.

Another recommendation would be to add more games in the process. Do not use simple colours such as black, etc. Use monochromatic and colour shades to add more depth to the website.

The reasons why so many persons invest in bitcoin is the depreciation, centralization and the appreciative aspect  in bitcoin. This stages are very important to traders or exchangers. it’s a medium of efficient, crypto currency has been a life change in recent years, it has been a great value  for storing assets, commodities and currency. These qualities attract to those who believe In future bitcoin. Crypto help those who have issues with hyperinflation..

You missed something, OP. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency in which its existence solely reflects in a public ledger being controlled by nobody. One of the few reasons on why the government avoids integrating BTC to their current financial model is due to its decentralized nature- meaning it cannot be controlled by them. While this may be the case, some countries limit the transacting of BTC by implementing rules and laws against it.

Cryptocurrencies have this certain aspect that will help them become relevant in the future. I do consider them as the future of transactions given the fact that the world is slowly shifting to digitalized payments. Though this kind of transaction may be the ideal form, its full integration would take maybe tens to hundreds of years to come.
1947  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Short term investment suggestion on: June 18, 2022, 11:34:23 PM
Guys, any suggestions for short-term investment?

If you plan on short-term investment, it is crucial that you keep track of the current price of the crypto that you want to invest on.

Let us say you wanted to invest in BTC. Given that its price crashed recently, you can purchase some while its price is significantly low in the market. With this in mind, you have to keep track of its price movement. The moment that its price somehow increased by at least a certain percentage that you are comfortable with, then you must sell it ASAP in order to profit. Though this may sound easier said than done, this is basically the foundation of short-term investments.
1948  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did Bitcoin Disappointed You ? on: June 18, 2022, 11:27:16 PM
Bitcoin has broken the all time high of 2017 and now it is around 19,000$. The worst part is that even on these level, we are not seeing any pumps and look like price may fall all the way to 10,000$ or even lower.
Once bitcoin was at 69,000$, who would have thought that bitcoin will go so low so fast ?  Now what do think, where we are in terms of bitcoin cycle. I think we are already in th bear market since summer of last year and maybe the bottom/ end of bear market is near ?

No and I do not think that BTC will further disappoint me despite its price crashing down the market.

These are high-risk investments that are inflationary by nature- meaning there is a scarcity in its total supply in the market. With this kind of information, you could expect that its price would increase somehow in the near future despite it crashing today. This is also the reason on some always see the good in the bad- purchase more in the process and invest them for long-term.
1949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No matter how low BTC falls, 1 BTC is still 1 BTC and there are only 19M coins on: June 18, 2022, 06:06:09 PM
And people will still laugh at you for keeping bitcoins while the rest of the world is falling apart. Well, if there is something that history taught us, it is that we should not really listen to what other people are saying especially if its for bitcoin crashes. 5x it has crashed so badly but it always recovered ever so gracefully, and those who held through all the dumps and all the reds in the market are rewarded handsomely for being patient.

Hodl, if you still can.

I definitely and wholeheartedly agree with this post.

Like with countless of similar threads that I have mentioned, the prices of BTC have already reached an ATH of $60,000. Though this happened last year, you can definitely see its potential of reaching that price when the market stabilizes in the near future. Given also that the nature of BTC is deflationary in nature, its supply (like OP mentioned) is capped at ~21 million. This means that its price would always increase as more BTCs start to circulate the market.

Again, for long-term investors, HODL will be the key. People may judge your decisions but you will be the one reaping the benefits as soon as the price slowly starts recovering in the future.
1950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minor Protection From Gambling on: June 18, 2022, 05:57:45 PM
<...snip...>

But I still wonder if this kind of technology is effective enough for those minors who use their parent's access accounts to gambling sites.  Will this be able to detect such action?  Will this kind of technology can trully protect minors and prevent them to access gambling sites?  

....

Like any regulation imposed, there is no guaranteed possibility that it will totally wipe out minors who can access gambling websites but it can definitely lessen the number with the introduction of such technology. In comparison, before you enter any porn websites (which is also considered illegal for minors), only some terms and agreements stating that you must be 18 years old to access is required to press in order to proceed with the website.

Again, with this kind of introduction, any kind of help that caters to online gambling addiction (especially when minors are involved) are always welcomed. Though this may not completely avoid minors from entering this kind of addiction, expect that numbers and traffic would be lessened from now on.
1951  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Less FOMO more Buying on: June 18, 2022, 04:39:22 PM
My word of Advice to newbies and crypto newcomers
Grin Bitcoin is at its most exciting season again with the drop in price comes with two perspectives, in this season you will hear more of these two words 1 FOMO 2 Buy the dip, but as far as I know is better to do less FOMO, and more buying with $25,000 i can now own 1 BTC what a privilege, many thought BTC can never come down to this price again since Bitcoin became too expensive when it rise to almost 70k few months back. But now Bitcoin have bottom down to below 25k once again and i will suggest newbies stay away from fuds and buy the dip if you have spear money to do so.

At this current bearish market, this is the perfect opportunity for people to purchase more BTCs and HODL them for long-term. I mean, the price already reached an ATH of $60,000 last year- so we cannot discount the possibility from it happening again.

Though this may be easier said than done, I do think that people should take advantage of this opportunity and purchase more in the process. Even if the price reaches below, still, you must adhere to the contingency plan you created.
1952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bonus Abuse: Who is to Blame? on: June 18, 2022, 02:50:27 PM
I was sitting and wondering, there will always be bad actors in online gambling but who is to blame, the customers/fraudsters or the gambling merchants? Are the customers/fraudsters getting tech-savvy or are the gambling merchants getting complacent in checking and testing their website for loopholes? Don't these online gambling operators anticipate these frauds while building their websites? Why don't they invest in a robust fraud detection system before the fraud happens and not after?
I ask again who is to blame for the increase in bonus abuse, the customers/fraudsters or the online gambling operators?

If there are any bonus abuses that has been happening in a gambling website and some users participate in such abuse, then these players run into the conflict of having their accounts banned. Since any form of online abuse of loopholes in the rules may be construed as an activity that is against their TOS, these players should not complain in the event that they get banned and their funds be confiscated or withheld from them.

A gambling website should keep their bonuses and other activities monitored. These are the types of activities that they should keep an eye about since registration bonuses can be subject to abuse by players and gamblers alike.
1953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador loses more than half the value of its reserves in bitcoins on: June 17, 2022, 11:55:57 PM
Basically all Bitcoin holders who bought within the past 7 months have lost a huge portion on their investments.
Having an investment register red candles is not bad on its own, it only is, if you cannot hold through that period and would need to panic sell as you invested more than you can afford to lose.

If El Salvador's reserves can absorb the Bitcoin dip comfortably, then it's not much of an issue.

This bearish market can be seen as an opportunity rather as a bane to these investors.

While the prices of BTC dropped significantly over the past few months, this is a perfect time for long-term HODLers to acquire and purchase more during the process. Given the deflationary nature of BTC, its trend would is most likely upwards- meaning its price would increase definitely in the future, though no one knows when. But the fact that its price already reached $60,000 is an indication of its potential to increase again.
1954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Old Casino Keep Up Without Support Here In Bitcointalk Or Signature Campaign on: June 17, 2022, 11:50:23 PM
Can an old casino that's very active here in Bitcointalk, through support, forum advertising, and signature campaign, suddenly pull the plug and stop doing all these things can still keep and still maintain its position in the market.

A case study is Bitvest and 777Coin we know that Lightlord was sick and now he is well and comes back from time to time but not doing the same thing they're doing for many years.



I personally think that a casino can still operate despite no advertisement from this forum but expect it to lose almost half of its player base and traffic.

The beauty about this forum is that almost every forum member (except newbies) wears a signature to their profile. This means that every post equals an advertisement to the thing being advertised, whether it be a mixer, a new coin, a website, or an online casino.

In addition, all of the posts that you made retroacts to the signature that you are wearing. For example, if you used another signature when you created a post years ago but you wore a new signature, your post from that year will be changed according to the present signature that you are wearing. This means that advertisement is the key to maintain a healthy player base and traffic to the website.

1955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics. on: June 17, 2022, 04:28:36 PM
There you have it- predicted the playoff run completely! But in all seriousness, what a dominant performance the whole Warriors team put-up in game 6 which ultimately led them to win the entire playoffs this season!

Big congratulations for Curry for never giving up despite the rebuilding phase. He literally carried the Warriors when Klay was injured and other of his team were developing. But to be honest, huge props for Wiggins as he demonstrated that he is the previous no. 1 pick. He dominated Tatum and kept his shooting ability at bay- his defending skills locked him up which led him only to score 2 points in the second half.
1956  Economy / Economics / Re: How can I survive in a place where BTC is restricted? on: June 16, 2022, 11:53:11 PM
This is the beauty of BTC, its anonymity can give you the opportunity to transact without even the government knowing that you transacted. Like some have mentioned, using a decentralized exchange can provide you the opportunity to exchange your BTCs and convert them to your desired currency. Though this may be risky, p2p transactions may also do the trick but you have trust people from here.

But the best would be to move all of your BTCs and avoid any of the local exchanges hosted by the country. These types of exchanges are the ones who require KYC documents- avoid them at all cost if you do not want to experience conflict with the laws of your country.
1957  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is investing more than you can afford to lose inevitable? on: June 16, 2022, 11:45:54 PM
If i earn $400 for example, and i keep a $100 and invest $300 in bitcoin....

I think this sums up your whole post, OP.

While the phrase "invest more than you can afford to lose" sounds compelling at first, you must always follow this with proper logic and common sense. Again, investments are investments- meaning you only delve into investing if you have the extra cash AFTER you have paid all of your obligations to yourself or to your family.
 
In the example that you provided, you took $300 out of the $400 that one earns per month. While this may be the case of "invest more than you can afford to lose," still, $100 for the whole month seems very impossible for an individual and financial problems would kick in this kind of example. Follow investment with logic- only invest the amount that you are willing to set-aside for future transactions.
1958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you Considered a Career in Betting Consultancy? on: June 16, 2022, 11:39:24 PM
It seems like a tough career path since you have to prove yourself by becoming a tipster and maintain a consistent win rate throughout thousands of picks. I enjoy making picks as a gambler but I wouldn't take that career as it feels like you're carrying a heavy pressure behind your back as their money would be tied to your picks. I remember there used to be a guy here in the gambling discussion that started a thread about their betting syndicate or maybe it was similar to a betting group as they have different guys focused on a single sport and he was also sharing some free picks once in a while.

Though it may be tough, I think that gamblers who are addicted enough will result to any mantra/belief that would make them believe that such would lower such odds. Though you may have to prove yourself with your credentials, getting customers would be relatively easy perse. I mean, if I were a gambler and I heard someone has the "secret code" for unlocking the potentials of gambling betting, then I would never hesitate to contact him/her.

Again, it all boils down to preference and to the things that you want to believe in. But if I were a ex-gambler who suffered addiction from the past, I would avoid any profession or activity that would attract others to this very dangerous act.
1959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Problem, Is it Possible to be a Thing of the Past? on: June 16, 2022, 11:25:21 PM
Self exclusion can become useless for couple of reasons -
1. It all starts with oir willingness. If a gambler has a strong mind, he will be able to self exclude himself from gambling for as long as he wants. It all starts with us. Think about cigarette addiction. Unless the addicted person is willing to take action, nothing really happens.

2. There are multiple gambling websites available, including unlicensed ones. So even if someone has a strong mind to self exclude him from gambling for a specific period of time, it will be pretty easy for him to come back to gambling through another website.

Addiction can be treated through regular counseling. No measure of exclusion will work unless it is a forced one.

In the first point that you raised, being aware with one's addiction is the key to combat it in the first place. Like any other addiction, it is essential that you aware that you are definitely addicted to something. Now after you realize it, the next step is crucial- you are aware but are you willing to take action? If you see nothing wrong with your actions despite being aware, then the gambler would most likely stay in this kind of trap.

In the second point that you raised, I do agree with you. It helps that if a person wants to exclude himself from any addiction completely, it is better that he/she avoids all the signs that he sees that one might be tempted to gamble again.
1960  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Hodlers are actively buying bitcoin these days on: June 16, 2022, 11:09:50 PM
If there is something I learned in the investment world, it is that you always have to BE FIRST in every purchase that you do. HODLers who are actively purchasing BTC in this bearish market are just taking advantage of low price, hoping that one day its price would skyrocket in the near future.

Imagine, the price of BTC already reached $60,000 last year. The possibilities are endless and people would definitely expect that it might happen again anytime soon. I guess this is an obvious sign that HODLers should take advantage and purchase more at this time.
