You missed the point of the post. If you read it....there is no suggestion to keep any BTC on there.

I merely was assessing the health of the site. The final recommendation applies to all Bitcoin investors.

"Only put in as much as you're willing to lose."

Full disclosure, i'm off the site but still making profit.

This is another reason I mentioned the English as a second language thing in there.

As a long time user of 7 years. I notice a few things about posts on this forum and would like to give some perspective.

Everyone has a voice here and this is a great place to voice concern. However, not all voices are created equally and you need to read between the lines a little.

Ex:
1.) Posters with 1-2 posts may have issues running the site because they simply don't know the site.
2.) Posters with 1-2 posts are sometimes the same posters who want the site to fail and give bad information.
3.) Some posters have English as a second language. I have no problem with this, things just get lost in translation.
3.) The site operates in subtly different ways depending on where you are. It tends to run the best in North America and Europe as it's in English.

Current news and updates:
(I'm curating based upon what the long time users are watching for.)

Good things!:
1.) The site in general as well as Withdrawals!!!, rewards, emails, FUN staking, and buying/ selling FUN are all working.
2.) We just received word that someone's ticket was "escalated" meaning someone's "home".
3.) If any major change happens, this site will light up like a christmas tree.

Worrying/ Bad things:
1.) Communication is terrible right now. Especially after years of direct communication.
2.) FUN withdrawal seems sluggish. (it may always have been)
3.) WoF Spins have been down for months. (May be price based)
4.) Australia has blocked the site. (Use a VPN)
5.) Movements in the hot and cold wallets. (very worrying from a fundamental crypto standpoint)
6.) Hashflare issues/ Server issues.

Things to watch for:
1.) Withdrawals!!!(As long as these work, the site can continue to work).
2.) Apparently the domain expires on October 10th of 2025. (we're watching for domain activity/ renewal) If this happens, that's an amazing sign!
3.) Any direct communication of any kind can help us piece together the state of the site.

What I think:
Freebitco is a risky venture depending on which countries you service. Even speaking to users on this forum has the potential to catch out the owners and therefore the sites bitcoin. It may be the owners have retreated into their shell in order to continue keeping the site running while minimizing risk. If WoF and FUN is a casualty then so be it. Countries that are part of the 5 eyes have already broken international law in order to take down samurai wallet by shutting down the internet along a narrow longitude of the earth. There are many logical reasons why they may be quiet.

Do your due diligence and keep it simple. Just like any investor, only put on the site what you are willing to lose.

Feel free to poke me if you want to corroborate basic information about the site.

I wish you all the best as we head into Christmas in the middle of this bull run.
[This post was made to the best of my knowledge feel free to ask and correct for your situation]

I'm personally ok losing my FUN investment. What, i'll continue to make passive income on the site as long as possible. I won't keep a large balance in there sadly though.

I wish they would have communicated.

I think things that could have affected them include everything from: changing laws, possible security breach(I initially spelled breath haha), maybe they were a part of the samurai wallet fiasco. The list goes on. It seems they needed to put distance betwen them and the site. the question is why.

Odd for me it's working fine *shrugs*

Thank you for the update. It's up to us OGs to verify as best we can the health of the site.

My opinion is that the site is either being ran in the shadows due to security, or it's on autopilot. If they were wanted for some reason. The authorities have been taking drastic measures to find hidden servers on or off VPNs lately. By cutting contact this would fall in line with high level security doctrine.

So far they are processing withdrawals if anyone was asking. If there is a time they don't, this forum will light up like a Christmas tree. The advice is still to sit and watch from the sidelines.

I was looking at the eth stake rewards. It can get reward from 1-4% depending on the amount. (4% is a custom contract that is made with a ton of ETH.) Freebitco has the amount needed. Essentially they would be able to support rewards indefinitely AND make profit on their casino. The trade off is that ETH is less secure. It's an interesting move though.

Thank you for the update. I personally think that the base functionality is the only thing working. Which would be fine with better communication. It could be that the landscape of tracking owners and users of BTC sites has changed meaning they have to be silent. The site also said many times that they may suspend benefits if their model starts breaking/ leaking/ being unprofitable. This falls in line with the WOF being suspended. The thing that would break the site would be if the casino and withdrawals stopped working. Even interest can stop with the site still being up in good conscience, however, the owners said they would give a 30 day warning for any change in interest.

The beautiful part about Bitcoin is that it's much harder to co-opt as the supply side. Meaning, the hard ,money aspect side of BTC is pretty much on lock along with the cap of 21m. After distribution, the powers that be can deploy their derivatives to attempt to soften the cap, however it's much harder than say a precious metal where Mining, smelting, distribution, and sales can all be maipulated.

Once again an un enforceable ban that turns your brightest minds into criminals over night. Or maybe it's just a ploy to keep normal people out of the space as it becomes even more valuable.

As you know, the founders of Samurai wallet are going to trial soon for writing code which is considered free speech. The gravity of this case and the consequences of the decision could be insane for Bitcoin holders. Basically depending on the mood of legislators. You having self custody of your bitcoin could be called a money transmitter and arrested in extreme cases, OR if your code is involved with the block chain and somehow moves enough BTC or crypto currency you could also be arrested.

There are sites raising money to attempt to defend Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill by raising funds. I'm here to see what peoples thoughts on this are and I'm sharing links to some sites attempting to do something about this.

I didn't see anything wrong but don't forget to vet and protect yourself before possibly giving or diving further.

Cheers!

You used to be able to look up their wallet on OXT.me. The problem is that the database was ran by samurai wallet and taken down. It was one of the best tools ever. I remember them having a healthy amount of BTC.

I just rolled and it was fine. Usually when the roller doesn't work. Refresh the page. Double check your VPN if you're on one. Usually it's not a Freebitco issue.

P.S. I gave you some merit. This was an interesting post. Enjoy!

I don't want to be a downer, but you really need to work on your password management especially in the Bitcoin space. That said, the site is in some kind of transition so you won't be hearing from customer service quickly. I recommend you keep trying old passwords.

Understand that my posts are completely about users approaching this forum expecting customer service. I don't think this will affect BTC that badly were anything to happen. However, the community would lose a realy nice way to stack sats and introduce people to the ecosystem. That's who and what i'm worried about. This has been one of the best and most trustworthy sites in the background allowing people to learn and enjoy the space. Again i'm hoping that they have someone simply check in with us every once in a while, or even better provide a new customer service portal.

Again, most people will roll with the punches with some explanation. Unfortunately we are on the outside of that knowlege group.

I understand that people are worried about the WoF but remember. he burning question in my mind here is what is the health of the site overall. if if anything happens to the BTC then the alarms will really go off. So far that isn't happening.

If Wetsuit and thequin can't or don't feel ike posting that is on them, however a small update from time to time would help a ton. Also, some speculate this coud be them migrating due to changes in legislation etc. I'm still participating but with caution.

Just to confirm, I made a personal fast withdrawal with no issues for beer money. So far so good. I recieved the BTC within 2 blocks which is typical.

Gensler is such a bitter man. He's tried so hard to get into the industry and never makes it. His bitterness has affected millions. He needs to be replaced to end his madness.
