I wholeheartedly agree with you. There is a reason on why gambling websites (in general) have house edges- at the end of the day, they are still business whose goal is to earn money and profit.

Like what you mentioned, statistically, it is near impossible to profit from a streak of gambling activities. With the house edge being present, the more you bet, the more chances that it will impact the edge against you. That is why, gambling is a game of risk in which it is essential that you only bet just for the thrill of it or due to the fact that you just want to test your luck out.

Have you experienced any issue ba bro during the additional KYC requirements?

Based purely on my experience, I think it took me roughly ~3 weeks para ma-accept yung verification level ko at para ma-verify din lahat ng mga pinasa ko na KYC documents. Though sobrang hassle talaga, I do think na si coins.ph ay nag cocomply lang din sa requirements provided by the government since patuloy nga na lumalake ang cryptocurrencies dito sa Pilipinas, unlike noong una na medyo maluwag pa sila.

Like what I previously mentioned, this movement is not about letting Putin realize the impact of his decisions but to unify forum members that there exists such movement against Russia. It is more on the fact that there are people who are willing to support Ukraine in this war. We all know that by boycotting Russian gambling websites, it will be very minuscule to such effect but having a designated number of people who support such movement will impact the thing as a whole.

Again, such war is very unnecessary and unfortunate. The least thing that we can do is to support Ukrainians on this war and hope that everything will be solved in the end.

Interesting, I think the shutdown was due to the fact that the fees were unregulated to the point that it has unbridled discretion as to the amount being paid? Not complete sure but all we can do is speculate. Since it has been proven that no KYC function was needed, I think I am leaning towards the regulation of the fees not being faithful to the statutes of UK.

Though I think it is also due to the fact that it may not be licensed perse or it did not comply with the regulations provided by law?

Unfortunately, this type and kind of behaviour is common for people who recently lost their loved one due to something that they associate with. For example, if a drug addict unexpectedly dies, the rational behavior and thought is to consider that the latter died from drug addiction or substance abuse. But this is where it gets tricky- what if such person has an ongoing medical disease which is unknown to the parents?

Again, while I significantly emphatize with the parents, you cannot just blatantly expect and blame on gambling. There has to be some sort of explanation on why the son died which may be outside gambling.

Anything that has to do with the development of BTC in countries is definitely welcomed especially if we see that countries are starting to see its potential and widespread use.

In the event that Lugano does indeed accept BTC as a form of payment for taxes, then that will be the start of potential implementations in the future. Its development and use has to start somewhere- and they chose for the payment of taxes, which implies that the government recognizes its use and capability in their future transactions.

I just hope that countries would soon adopt and use this as an example in order to integrate cryptocurrencies in our day-to-day transactions.

Not just in sports but in every aspect of sports including motorsports (e.g. F1 decided to withdraw their grand prix in Russia this year, etc.). With this move, Russia would have to suffer dire consequences that would very much impact their economic standpoint. With this kind of boycott to Russian gambling platforms, though it may not fully affect Putin directly, it can somehow start a movement indirectly which will give notice to all the gamblers about the current situation.

Again, most large businesses have started pulling out their investments and plans on Russia this year due to the war. The citizens of their country, unfortunately, have to suffer such consequences due to their barbaric leader.

Unfortunately, there are people who are twisted enough to take advantage of such situation purely for their own advantage and benefit. With all the donations that are being sent globally, there are people who create fake addresses and videos in hopes of scamming kind-hearted and genuine donators.

I really appreciate the list you provided, DaveF! With all the number of scams being scattered across the internet, a board like this is definitely essential in alerting willing donators to take precaution and warning before donating.

I had a discussion with someone who is affiliated in the politics in our country. He extensively explained that during the arbitration between China and the Philippines over the Spratly Islands, China was never considering on going to war, although they released and stationed their troops on the islands they "claimed" to be theirs. Like what happened between Vietnam and China, though the latter attempted to "claim" that some of the islands were theirs, the former started releasing soldiers against China in which the latter failed to retaliate.

Again, China will always be there on the backlines observing the spoils of war. They fully understand that almost every country needs them since they are this economic and labor powerhouse where almost 90% of our household things are made.

As far as I know, in the Philippines, I am not personally aware if there are any projects or messages that cater specifically in resolving gambling or addiction problems. But I know that there are projects and videos that are being scattered through social media on supporting people on their respective mental health. I am not sure if such mental health projects include gambling addiction, but I have yet to see something that is so specific to a certain issue.

I do think that laws must be implemented in addressing mental health issues. Given that COVID has let people stay at their respective houses in which online gambling popularized, I just hope that these people would be able to recover from such.

Your whole statement and request is very confusing- are you pertaining to a specific game called "crypto currency game" or are you looking for a game that uses the concept of the blockchain that somehow uses it in a manner applicable to gambling? Anyway, I hope you address the ambiguity as most people that replied are also confused on what type of game you are looking for.

If you really want to know the particulars, better if you could send a screenshot or the link of the game so we could fully help you.

Just to clarify, when you mean by CBDCs ito yung tokens na mismong yung BSP yung gumawa at mag rerelease no? So in a way, similar din siya to BTC pero ang pagkakaiba is ginawa nila mismo yun?

To be honest, I think okay din naman na nagkaroon din yung bansa natin na may sariling token na mismong si BSP nag release. Pero in the long-run, it somehow defeats the purpose of decentralization- which is yung foundation mismo ng BTC and some cryptocurrencies.

Well anyway, anything that can somehow and indirectly support cryptocurrencies is definitely welcome kaya let's see where this goes!

This pretty sums-up everything that you need to ask about confirmations and instant withdrawals.

If you do not understand the mechanism, there is a POW (proof-of-work) present in the blockchain which checks all the blocks if the correct address has been sent. That is where the miners fee comes from- they check these blocks to have a impenetrable defense which invalidates all possible hacks or scams in the transaction. While there may be gambling websites that offer instant withdrawals, you still have to wait a relatively small amount of time in order to receive your funds.

I think most newbies ask for advice on cryptocurrencies but they fail to realize that the internet is their friend. Everything can be searched due to the influx of search engine nowadays and everything is accessible. There are also lots of free courses on YouTube in which traders share their personal experiences in trading.

Ted Talks also do some of their episodes primarily on cryptocurrencies as they frequently discuss the complexity of the blockchain technology. There are also some articles about BTC. Compared before, there are tons of materials available online and the internet will be your best friend!

Just a quick question, what do you think about the move of Haas removing Mazepin from their current roster?

I mean, I genuinely feel sorry for the kid even if he showed some a**hole attitude from the past. I think he was slowly redeeming himself and proving that he can be a better driver from every race that he participated on. Though, I do agree that there are better racers that are more fit to be in the F1 league compared to him; so I somehow feel that Haas was just looking for the perfect escape outlet to replace Mazepin with a better driver.

Hi, upon checking the website, I noticed that there are some things that has to be achieved and completed. The whitepaper clearly mentioned that it is currently a "draft version" which I highly understand, but it is better if you could post everything clearly and concisely.

Another thing, the team members of the project contained some cartoonish design, not even with their real name/s disclosed. While I also understand the anonymity of the members, if that were the case, then it is outright better if you just remove it and not post it at all. Better to post nothing than to post something that may raise some doubts.

Anyway, I am just concerned that if you were to start this project investors might sway and deviate from their decision due to the website being incomplete. Good luck, OP.

It is very unfortunate that there are people who still defend this campaign. Though measures have been tackled by the campaign manager of 1xBit, I do think that they cannot erase their track history given that lots of people were not able to receive their funds and winnings. Not to mention, there have been reports that some account cannot withdraw their money from this gambling website.

Even if they do try to band-aid the solution by addressing some complaints, you cannot take away the fact that such project has been operating shenanigans ever since. Again, better to avoid than to cure- there are lots of gambling websites present so why still choose the one with such a bad history?

This tip also applies in general to scams being advertised throughout the internet. It takes lots and various of forms which can be extremely appealing to newbies who have little-to-no experience transacting into cryptocurrencies.

Unfortunately, cryptocurrency influencers have the power to compel their viewers to invest in a certain project due to this illusion that they know better than them. Instead of watching crypto influencers, you can listen to various YouTubers who explain investing without even forcing or telling you to invest in a certain project. In this way, you are not just learning but you are also avoiding being scammed at the same time.

I think it is also more on the aspect of being entirely bias about cryptocurrencies. People that are somehow close-minded tend to believe stuff that are against cryptocurrencies even if there are other aspect or things that are way more harmful to the environment. They tend to believe their own biases even if actual proof and facts are showed to the contrary- which is somehow sad given the full potential of BTC in our day-to-day transactions.

The game that Lakers showed tonight is like a blast from the past- all of these relatively old superstar players did their roles like they were at their peak. With all the boos and backlash that the Lakers have been receiving, this game is a testament to their innate and natural skill as a player.

Though I am heavily rooting for Warriors to win this year's playoffs, I just hope that this will be the start of the momentum that the Lakers need. Lebron James is just a phenomenal of a player given his athleticism and 3-point shots. It was also nice to see Melo in shape, hitting those perimeters and clutch 3s.
