This kind of development in the online gambling setting would be a privilege and a luxury if they can provide given that lightning network has a faster transaction speed and the fees are relatively low compared to BTC's method. The only problem with this is that, it may be expensive on the side of the online gambling platform owner, which is something that we do not see quite often.

Lightning Network was created in order to address the scalability problem of BTC. As far as I know, LTC uses lightning network but it was just expensive to maintain and use at the same time. Hopefully gambling owners can integrate this luxury for faster transaction speed but this won't make or break a gambling website if they do not have it.

From the name itself "meme" it means nothing or a sham- something that was created purely for entertainment. Generally, these so-called "meme coins" have their names being associated with something or someone famous. For example, there was a meme coin entitled "FuckElon" after Elon Musk announced that he will support dogecoin, rather than bitcoin.

The problem with memecoins is that it can be subject to rug pulls, wherein investors would soon exit the project once they reach a certain price or threshold in the market. Unlike BTC or altcoins, these memecoins have no purpose at all, which can be extremely risky for investors.

Like what I mentioned to previous threads similar to this, the best time to invest into cryptocurrency is the time that you first discover its existence. Due to its inflationary value, its price is somehow bound to increase in the future- though this is still subject to several and different factors.

Preferably, I would recommend purchasing cryptocurrencies and HODL them for long-term to take advantage of its limited and fixed supply on the market. Imagine, its price skyrocketed nearly 1000%+ when its price first released on the market- its potential is limitless for investors like us.

There are some gambling websites that offer free exchanges at their disposal where you can quickly convert your cryptocurrencies to fiat; and the other way around.

Do remember that a gambling website that prohibits sports celebrities and sports stars are only adhering to the rule implemented. But I think this sanction should be met in the middle- there has to be some sort of compromise in order to fully accept this kind of regulation. While I do understand that they are trying to protect young kids from being easily influenced in gambling, this not the only way in order to prevent them from gambling, in general.

Counter Strike is one of those games who withstood the test of time- from its very first version, to 1.6, to source, and to Global Offensive. It has numerous versions wherein lots of active players still play to this day. While there may be emerging FPS games which introduce unique and flavorful ideas, I still consider CSGO as the king of online FPS where gambling activities can be actively held.

Though CSGO has been categorized as the biggest FPS game, there are however, lots of cheats which continues to damage its reputation on the field. With regard betting, there was an incident before where a player in India (Forsaken) cheated in an official tournament.

For your first question, investing has been an essential factor with regard to my daily life. It created this duty where I have to invest a certain and fixed amount of income allocated for cryptocurrencies primarily based for long-term HODLing. Though inflation has made it relatively easier/harder (depending on the circumstances) to profit, long-term HODLing would be the key in order to address this problem.

For your second question, financial stability is all about deciding if you can invest a portion of your income or not. If you can allocate a certain amount of income for your investments without having to compromise your monthly obligations, then feel free to invest. If, due to inflation, you are experiencing difficulty in profiting, then you might need to adjust your allocation to your investments.

There have been tons of instances where exchanges have been linked to several scams and hacks in the past.

Recently, an exchange (Ronin) was hacked and more than millions of dollars worth of ETH were stolen from the exchange which affected some "pay-to-earn" games (e.g. Axie Infinity, etc.) in their transactions. In addition, there are also cases where exchanges have been tagged as scams in which some of your cryptos would be frozen in the process.

Generally, it is highly recommended that you move your cryptocurrencies in a more secured hardware wallet for proper storage and security. Leaving them in an exchange would only subject you to extreme risks of losing it in the unforeseeable future.

This is one of the problems that some e-sports multiplayer/team games are struggling to offer- how to effectively broadcast and showcase each and every individual' skill. Given that the recent broadcast of players have been steadily improving over the past year, there is still this lacking element where everyone could be seen while effectively being not too overwhelming at the same time.

This is one of those problems that are somehow difficult to address given the nature of multiplayer games. If the camera showcases multiple players at the same time, viewers might get confused on which panel/side to watch; on the other hand, not seeing every player's movements might be frustrating especially if you want to focus on a specific player.

I guess in order to address this problem, viewers must have the option to freely choose on which player to watch their POV.

Personally, I would advise investing into BTC and to the top 10 altcoins, but majority of your investments should compromise of the former (e.g. 70% BTC; and 30% altcoins).

Given the inflationary price of BTC in the market, its price is bound to increase in the following years. But I would recommend investing into long-term due to its potential of skyrocketing in its price especially when forks happen. In terms of altcoins, I would also personally recommend investing into ETH. You can check the price history chart in order to support more your decision in investing. This may give you a broad idea on which altcoin to invest and when to invest.

It actually depends on the casino and if they have some promotions, bonuses, or sign-up privileges of some sort.

Normally, relatively new casinos would have tons of promotions after their first launch and they would offer some privileges and rewards for people who deposit a certain amount. While this may sound scary and dubious, there are some casinos that operate on a big-scale which somehow offsets such risk. Though this may also be the case, after getting the rewards, I would normally avoid them and continue using my desired online gambling platform that I am accustomed using to.

For example, there may be new casinos out there but my fallback would always be the old casinos that I am comfortably using due to the overall experience (e.g. better UI, rewards, customer service, etc.).

This depends on your goal but the only person that can answer that is yourself.

If you have the means of investing for long-term, then I highly recommend so. There are lots of people (including myself) have profited in investing into cryptocurrencies (BTC to be specific). It has an inflationary nature where its value may increase substantially in the following years. But again, this is subject to certain risks that are associated with it.

If I where you, I suggest watching videos about BTC as there are tons of materials available in the internet. Upon learning everything, you decide if you think it is best investing.

Ahh man, I definitely feel sorry for your loss. Given that the nature of cryptocurrencies can be easily hacked nowadays, it is arguably recommended to triple check all the files being sent to you. Again, as much as I pity for your loss, it is also your responsibility (though you mentioned that you were negligent) to check all the files and to doubt everything being sent to you.

Mistakes like these tend to shape our future decisions. As much as this is very unfortunate, this would actually help newbies to be more careful in selecting and choosing all the files being sent to them.

It also just got me thinking that scammers/hackers nowadays can conveniently create suspicious files that once you opened them, pandora's box will break loose. I really hope that your experience will save thousands of people from this event.

In my years of gambling experience, even before cryptocurrency gambling existed, I have never heard of a gambling website (or even a physical casino) that returns your money when you lose.

Given the nature of these gambling websites, it is imperative to know that these are "businesses" in which their aim is to profit. With that kind of scheme, how can they possibly profit from this system? Where is the so-called "risk" that makes gambling websites profitable in the first place?

I really do believe that this kind of method is nothing but a scheme devised to at least scam people in the process. I visited the site and it looks nothing like a sports-betting website; it's like they putted a random sporty image and some numbers telling you to withdraw.

A good friend of mine has an acquaintance that currently operates an online gambling company across the internet. While it may not be as big as the titans of online gambling platforms (e.g. duelblits, fortunejack, stake, etc.), it considerably earns a decent amount of money from its day-to-day operations.

His main source of advertisement is through ads on some websites. He also promotes it via word of mouth and he also creates various threads across different forums in order to further advertise it.

Though I did tell him to create a campaign signature to further boost it, he says that he does not have the enough funds to create one. I guess one of the main ways of advertising it is via campaign signatures in this forum.

I think this is one of the duties that the organizers need to inform the fighters- like at least educate them about the nature of cryptocurrencies and about its volatility. Like you mentioned, they may get the wrong idea if they suddenly see that their winnings decreased significantly due to extreme volatility. Nonetheless, there has to be some sort of waiver if they fully want to receive their bonus in BTC.

Though this may be the case, this is some good development on cryptocurrencies. The fact that a sport that is as big as UFC started to entertain and integrate cryptocurrencies as a form of payment can attract more people into knowing the latter's nature and fundamentals.

Asking for an investment worth $1,000 or more without providing any glimpse or concrete details about the said project can easily backfire. I heavily recommend that you provide more details in the post, instead of saying that the other details would be available in DMs. Anything that asks for a minimum investment in return for nothing (basically a non-collateral loan) can be dangerous to the investor's side, given that nothing is promised in return except for such hope and optimism.

Again, I heavily recommend that you provide at least some collateral to the minimum investment required to at least compensate the users from your request. Given that you also have a history of asking such, bring some security for these investors.

I remember last year, Roobet created several promotions under the services thread where they let users participate in creating posters, paintings, GIFs, etc. in exchange for a valuable consideration as the prize. Lots of forum users participated in such promotion and there are also users who won a hefty amount of sum in the end. I do believe that this kind of strategy works best in terms of promoting a gambling website.

Lots of traffic in this forum also generates promotions to all the signatures being posted across the forum. As blackjack.fun is currently active in games and rounds, the potential of attracting more users to its website is definitely high. I just hope that they create promotions (just like what Roobet did) in order to further boost their reputation as one of the solid gambling websites out there.

How can you associate this with Stake as their responsibility? Remember that every person has our free will and discretion to decide on our decisions. Regardless of all the temptations surrounding the gambling industry, we still have the ultimatum on how we can execute our actions in the end.

Stake cannot be held responsible for any of the loss funds if a person gambles freely. Even if a person that relapses gambles, that is not the responsibility of Stake anymore. The least thing that they can do is to block access from their servers but this can easily be circumvented if a person uses another ISP on his location.

I agree with you although it is really relatively difficult to accurately predict who will win this season.

By using odds as the main basis on who would win, Grizzlies has the edge of winning the champion season for this year's playoffs. As a Warriors fanboy since 2015, my bet is on them, though many have speculated that they cannot withstand the deep bench and team chemistry of Grizzlies. Though this may be the case, I would still bet my money on Warriors this season until the end.

For a safe bet, however, better go with Grizzlies and Suns as it has the highest odds of winning.

Majority of gambling websites accept cryptocurrencies nowadays due to its convenience and nature. The fact that most gambling websites also named their domain as something to do with cryptocurrencies (e.g. freebitco.in, etc.), it is obvious that these websites accept cryptocurrencies as payment.

Also it is noteworthy to mention that it is recommended that you gamble with altcoins instead of BTC. Given the latter's potential for its price to skyrocket in the future, save your BTCs as a form of long-term investment and purchase altcoins as your main currency for gambling.
