I am starting to think he has some sort of mental illness and all these lawsuits are a cry for help. Not that he is going to get any sympathy from me one way or another.

But there are people like that. Who go around pretending to be someone great, just so that others pay them money/attention. Megalomania is the illness, I believe. Craig Wrong obviously will never be able to get any real power over Bitcoin or the Bitcoin Core developers. At this point all he is doing is annoying people. But even that negative attention is attention. And I believe he enjoys it.

I personally do not see what all the hubbub is about. But then again, I am not a fan of NFTs as they have absolutely no meaning to me. Just as I see trading cards as expensive strips of paper.

But I do understand that there is a demand for NFTs and that some people go totally crazy over the idea of Bitcoin NFTs. Especially if they are dedicated Bitcoiners in the first place.

So I stand on neutral ground. Its not really of interest to me but I have nothing against it.

Just watch out because doctors are only people too. I had Lyme disease from a tick bite and the "doctor" could not tell apart fungal disease from Erythema Migrans. Idiot gave me an ointment instead of antibiotics. I mean it took me all of 2 minutes to google "bulls-eye pattern rash". But he only rolled his eyes at my more-than-obvious self-diagnosis.

Always get a second/third opinion of another doctor. If statistics can be believed, 1 out of 10 doctor visits end up with a misdiagnosis or a false treatment.

I would partly agree with that. I think that some people here have never had the displeasure of suffering from an addiction, whether gambling or otherwise. We are all human, we all make mistakes and we all have weaknesses. Sometimes the difference between a choice and a forced choice (by addiction) is hard to tell apart. But anyone who has known what it feels like, the feeling of desperation becomes a gun to one's head. So at that point, you cannot really call it a choice anymore. But rather it becomes an illness.

Although showing compassion to those people could be right or wrong, depending on whether it helps them overcome their illness or if it just reinforces it by enabling.

This is really interesting. Although the success of this project is really only connected to how much demand there is for these rare and exotic Satoshis. But I think that most people who are not really developers do not yet perhaps understand the full potential of Ordinals or why they would be in demand in the first place. So, aside from the NFT nature of Ordinals, could there be any further use cases?

How would this complicate transactions? I assume people would be hesitant to transact unless they have no valuable Ordinals?

The idea of rare and more valuable Satoshis (in terms of NFT collections) has been going around a lot but I have yet to see any demand for them.... I could be mistaken...

I think Kraken got scared and did everything that the SEC told them to, even though this decision of banning their staking services was completely arbitrary and should not have been made so rashly. Kraken should have held up its own in court against the SEC's decision. All this panic about staking is premature.

If anything this only shows me how weak willed Kraken actually is and how easy it is to scare and manipulate centralized service providers into doing what the government wants, even if there is no legislation or legality behind it.

Just another example of why nobody should trust centralized exchanges.

Dubai is a playground for the rich and should not be seen as "a good example to other countries". It is in fact one of the worst examples of hedonism and corruption. The gap between rich and poor is so wide and obvious, perhaps you would notice it if you visited the poor places. The poor are mistreated and there are many reports of human trafficking. The government wastes their water and once their one and only income source (oil) runs out, Dubai will collapse.

So I do not understand why anyone would consider that cesspool of human scum a good example of anything except of how a country should not be run.

You know, I am glad that centralized staking services on exchanges are getting bent over by the government. It was only a matter of time anyway. You cannot centralized something which is meant to be decentralized.

But what is the SEC going to do about DeFI? Kick and scream and achieve nothing?  Because there is nothing they can do.

No matter which way I think about that, I do not understand why the casino  personnel would be hostile to vistors/foreigners. Would that not mean losing a giant, perhaps even their main source of income? I have yet to meet a single casino which is hostile to anyone who wants to gamble their hard earned money.

Perhaps they are snobbish when it comes to the amount of money you are allowed to gamble with?

Singapore is a country with very strict laws, so maybe you are thinking of foreigners who get put in their place by local authorities whenever they do something which is not allowed? That would make more sense.

I think compatibility is more of an issue for phone users than desktop users. I have never found desktops incompatible with anything you throw at them. So not too sure about your point here. Perhaps you mean comfort?

Availability is basically the same argument as comfort and there is no reason to separate them.

User interfaces can be either complex or simple. But I have never thought that something is better just because it is more simple. It can mean it is less prone to bugs and hacks but the argument ends there, really.

There is no way to predict that with accuracy. If you posted this topic in the trading discussion subforum, you might find better answers from people who did the technical analysis and can give you a picture with their own ideas.

But if you ask me, I think you will regret selling Bitcoin. Just like the people who sold Bitcoin in the past. They all regretted not waiting for the price to go higher and they never thought Bitcoin could go into the 5 figure area.

If you truly understand the potential of Bitcoin, you would hodl and sit tight.

Honestly, I probably would not bother with crypto casino adjustments and modifications for the elderly because the elderly are very stuck in their ways and it is virtually impossible to introduce them to anything new and actually have them understand that new thing. Thats just from my experience.

Any elderly gambler is going to stick to the old way and the old, physical slot machines and so on.

There might be a way to integrate that into crypto but it would only confuse and anger them.

I can hodl forever. Bitcoin is my new money. Fiat is trash. Swap it for Bitcoin while you still can.

Although, I would probably not be able to bear the shame if I forgotten or even lost a large amount of Bitcoin on some wallet somewhere. Although it has happened with smaller amounts which I later rediscovered so its not a completely impossible thought.

The 11 year old dormant Bitcoin does not necessarily mean it was lost or forgotten, though. 11 years worth of hodling is a commendable length of time but its not unthinkable. Perhaps he/she did not wish to move the coins?

From my own years of experience working with new crypto projects, I would say out of 10, at least 9 will never make it. And the one that does make it, will most likely not be worth as much as you invested into in the first place.. Maybe after 5-10 years, sure. But the dream of making 100x returns is unrealistic and basically gambling at some point. My advice to you is to wait for the project to become listed on at least several exchanges and have at least 1 years worth of good ROI. And then and only then would I consider a new project worth investing into.

The only times I have tried to stop gambling "forever" is when I made big losses which made me angry and out of that very anger, I swore "never to gamble again". But here I am, gambling

Unless someone has an obvious gambling addiction which is crippling his finances and his personal or work life, I do not think that promising to yourself never to gamble again is meant as a serious dedication.

So how many times have I sworn (without taking it seriously) to stop gambling? Many times.

How many times have I SERIOUSLY tried to stop? Not one time.

So, EVERYTIME I come here and post about Bitcoin pumping, it instantly dips. What is this? The whales are trolling me?

Alright... Alright... What happens if I do the opposite??

It seems that BITCOIN IS DUMPING NOW.

The fact that this match has not been given an actual official date but said to be in may is not something I believe to be true. Its likely the fight will be postponed to a later date. Because every time we get such a flip-floppy answer when asking for the date, we very often see them changing the date in the future.

I am all in for Naoya Inoue. Fulton stands absolutely no chance.

Although it is quite curious why Inoue is rushing things here. I did not think he would challenge Stephan Fulton this early on. He should be building up his wins with other opponents before taking on Fulton. It just seems like he is impatient.

The best advertisement a casino owner can get is of course, word of mouth. Which means in other words that his customers are happy, in fact so happy with the service that they go around telling their friends, their family and so on. Obviously any happy Bitcointalk customer will seek to spread the word here on the forum, making advertising an easy job. I wonder if the free spins are still valid? I would love to try out this casino.

Although it has been around since 2017, this is the first time that I have heard of it.

Since chartbuddy is being a lazy punk, I would like to tell everyone that Bitcoin is currently pumping. Might be the new green candle of the month.

As much as I appreciate your rating website and your current reviews, how do we know that you will not cave in to the pressure when these casinos start approaching you with big sums of cash, asking you to sell them a favorable rating? A lot of rating sites sell their souls and post whatever the ratees want, in exchange for money. So thats why I am a bit cautious of any website or person who rates anything. And that is the reason why I would prefer to do my own research instead of relying of some third party to research and review for me.
