Not sure what you would consider to be a "good job" but it took him 19 tries and he crashed into the drone in the end anyway. The fuel did absolutely nothing except contaminate thousands of fish.

Enjoy your sushi.

That entirely depends on who you mean. If you are a nobody with no fans, no followers and nobody who cares about the things you write on the internet, then you most likely will not make a lot of money with referrals. Sure, every now and then somebody might click on your referral link and earn you a few dollars but thats it, really.

If you are an Influencer with many fans you might get a better referral contract that the standard if you negotiate skillfully. And even if you get only the basic referral rewards, you will still find yourself earning a pretty penny.

It all comes down to how many people follow your socials.

You can trade in Bitcoin for literally anything. A car, a house a sandwich. And of course you can trade Bitcoin for Fiat (paper money).

The only function of a cryptocurrency exchange is the escrow function. Even though Bitcoin is trust-less, unfortunately fiat is not. So whenever we trade our fiat for Bitcoin, we would rather use a centralized third party system than trust the individual to honor their trade. Which makes sense.

We need to figure out something else. Something more decentralized and disconnected from banks.

I am sure that we will find a solution.

I think in most cases when people complain about bookies cheating them somehow, whether by locking accounts, freezing their money or asking for KYC, its usually always the gambler who broke the rules and terms of the online casino. And they come here to complain about being treated "unfairly".

Letting off steam after losing money or getting caught with a VPN and obviously not providing KYC because their country is on the blacklist. Of course they will not get their winnings back. But I think they can demand all their bet money back.

To be fair, there are rare cases of casinos acting shady. Usually this is about casinos which are new or unknown. You can easily avoid this by only going to the top casinos which are mentioned on these boards.

As somebody already mentioned, just use the Electrum wallet. You can also use the lightning network with it. If you use lightning, the transaction fees are so low that you do not have to worry about tipping transaction fees. Unless you are worried about 5 cents per transaction. But for most people, 5 cents is nothing.

Also, you can send your transactions in groups. Which means you can send Bitcoin to different addresses at the same time.

Tipping with Bitcoin on the lightning network is almost free. There is absolutely no reason why tippers would not want to use Bitcoin.

And unlike with paper money (fiat), you can retrace the transactions so everybody knows who gets how much tips and from whom. So its fair and transparent too.

A much better system than paper money tipping, if you ask me.

Keeping your money in the banks has two disadvantages. First, your money is always going down because fiat is being printed irresponsibly by your government. Second, your money is completely in the hands of someone else. In this case, in the hands of the bank. You may think that you will be protected by the government, should something happen to the bank, but the government can be the bad guy here, don't forget.

With Bitcoin you are in control of your money, nobody else. And it is deflationary. So no infinite printing, unlike with paper money(fiat).

Any kind of unregulated, unlicensed gambling is extremely risky and not worth it, in my own subjective opinion. If anything goes wrong you are out of luck and I think that nobody will be able to help you get your money back.

Same goes for any kind of unlicensed gambling. Even gambling with friends at home can easily go wrong.

Its better to use a casino because if something happens, not only are you protected by laws and regulations, you will also be able to prove many things (as long as you are online gambling).

All this means is that crypto is still in its baby shoes and there is a lot of time and potential waiting for us ahead. This is why its important to keep hodling your crypto, especially Bitcoin.

It will take a while until we reach full global adoption and recognition of Bitcoin but I believe we will see it happen in the near future.

Obviously the older generations will not be happy about anything new and will probably not seek to adopt it. But good news! We have the younger generations growing up WITH Bitcoin and crypto!

Only a matter of time until full adoption.

Well, from an ethical standpoint, it would be better if a lot of these online gambling casinos put in a sign for newbies like that. It would be just as ethical as not writing a terms and conditions in tiny lettering.

While many of these complainers are just complaining about losing money after being caught breaking the rules, a large percentage of the complainers are actually just naive people who should have had the terms and conditions shown to their face with the warning that rule breakers would not get their money back.

I think if the casinos put up a warning like that, everyone would read the rules.

But that might not be the most profitable option, for the owners...

Identity theft is a huge issue. Imagine if somebody you will never know or be able to find uses your identity to take out a loan for money? Really not a good position to be in, personally. Its scary to think that there are so many scammers offering fake airdrops for a fake project, just to gather identity information from those who are naive enough to provide KYC for an airdrop/bounty.

Identity theft ruins lives.

Becoming rich is a problem in two ways:

First, not everyone understands that making a lot of money demands a lot of hard work and ALL of your time. I have yet to see a person who became rich and earned all their money while having time for a family or playing videos games.

Its just not realistic, and most of us would never see such hard work as realistic. A lot of us would rather live our lives.

Another problem is that being rich is a mindset. There are those who have 20 million USD in the bank and consider themselves not rich, while there are people with 1 million who see themselves as rich.

There are billionaires who just can never get enough.

Its quite sad, really.

People need to have set their own monthly gambling limits before going into the (online) casino.


If you earn only say, an X amount of money a month, you take away Y monthly expenses and from what have left you then divide that number by 10 and result is what you have for gambling funds. If you follow that formula, not only will your friend not lose all his money but he will be saving money to build a better future for himself and his family. All he has to do is limit how much money he has to spare for gambling.


If he does not have any money to spare or he cheats himself into breaking his own 10% rule, he will most likely lose all his money, as he did.

From what I understand, addiction is a disbalance of your brain's neurochemistry. The only way to recover is to force yourself not to gamble (not even once!) for at least half a year.

I am not really certain whether or not such a simple test is enough to give you results on whether or not you have a gambling addiction and if yes, how severe of an addiction it is.

Seems like one of those fake IQ tests you can take that you found on some facebook post. Its not very scientific, that is to say.

A gambling addiction is very alike to a drug addiction from the perspective of your brain's neurochemistry. A dopamine abuse will leave physical signs which only a doctor could conclusively diagnose.

The best thing to do is if you suspect that you MIGHT have a gambling addiction, no matter how severe, you should definitely cut down on the gambling, at least for a while until your brain chemistry resets.

I think AI will most definitely be more successful than humans to find a working gambling strategy against the house but they will still not be able to actually beat the house. I think its just no way around mathematical probabilities, even for AI. But I have been wrong before, so I won't give that opinion of mine any guarantees.

It does make me wonder how powerful AI's will become. I am sure that casinos themselves already deploy certain AI to weed out cheaters, scammers etc.

Both sides of AI both pro and contra online gambling casinos will improve. So, that might be another reason why AI won't win against house.

Its all just a marketing trick.

In reality, before they give you your winnings, they are obligated by law to make sure that no money-laundering/terrorism sanction laws are broken. They NEED your KYC. This can be avoided for smaller amounts of money withdrawals but they can ask you for KYC for any amount.

In fact, if you read the terms and conditions of these "KYC-free platforms" you will read exactly this truth: There are no KYC-Free platforms (Which are not scams).

Of course if you are gambling with peanuts, it is not worth their time to scan your identity. The law permits this. And its more profitable for the casino to ignore you (time = money).

Screw tradition markets. This is Bitcoin, baby.


We killed the bear. Its dead.

Welcome to Bitcointalk and we hope you enjoy your stay and give the community a fair and responsible gambling experience!

Please be aware that as a community, we are very strict and naturally suspicious. You should do your utmost best not to make it seem like you are acting shady in some way. I would recommend being as open, communicative and transparent as possible. That will definitely build your trust in this community.

I will be sure to try out your new platform and tell you what I think about it sometime in the near future!

Again, welcome to the Bitcointalk forum!

Once again, centralization is pushing the short term value of Bitcoin down. Broken centralized banks that have bound themselves to centralized exchanges are now teaching everyone, once again, what the phrase "not your keys not your coins" means in practice and bears are now spreading FUD with the aim of pushing Bitcoin further down. But I believe we will see a huge bounce-back. I think anyone who sells now will regret it.

Anyway, best time to fill those bags up.
 

Of course KYC is dangerous. What happens when your identity gets stolen? Identity theft can be a devastating thing that happens to people everyday. Imagine someone you never met before taking a loan in your name? Really a bad situation to be in.

There needs to be a better alternative to KYC. One that cannot be faked and exploited like the current system.

I am sure that the solution is a blockchain one but until then, don't give strangers photos of your ID documents.

If you did not read through the terms and conditions of the casino before/after registering on whichever casino that you registered on then I doubt you would have read them even if they showed it to you whenever you followed through with the promo.

It seems to me that this problem could have easily been avoided if you just read the terms and conditions beforehand. And if you did indeed find something wrong/missing then you would be right, from a legal standpoint.

But casinos do not want to have legal problems therefore they create a terms and conditions which covers everything about their website. This also covers promos, obviously.
