THEY LET YOU CREATE ACCOUNT... DEPOSIT... BET... NO SIGN OF KYC ANYWHERE... UNTIL YOU WANT TO WITHDRAW YOUR FUNDS

I hate to break it to you, but that is simply not true.

From DuelBits AML and KYC policy:
Quote
The first step of verification is an electronic KYC (Know Your Customer) check, must be done before any Withdrawal is possible. duelbits.com is not responsible for any delays in withdrawal created by the KYC checks.

After a user deposits funds to Duelbits using any depositing option provided by the company, except CS:Go Skins, there is a minimum percentage of the amount that must be wagered until a withdrawal for the said funds is requested, otherwise the company reserves the right to ask for any additional KYC documentation and freeze the user’s funds until the KYC requirement is fulfilled.

Now, don't tell me you didn't read the terms of service before you deposited your funds at the casino. Shame on you!  Cheesy


Seems like an open and shut case, Johnson.  Tongue

Obviously OP is at fault for not reading the terms and conditions. Although after having taken a look at his trust ratings its obvious this is not the first time he has been trying to slap mud on the name of a trusted online gambling casino. Say what you like but it even seems like giving casinos a bad name is his job. I wonder if other casinos hire him to do this?

Either way its what I would deem Libel. The casinos he has continually defamed could give him a bad time if they wanted.

Not only is this guy, Zarfund, a complete troll who deletes posts randomly, he is also a scammer who tried to scam people out of their money. At some point we need to set bans on scammers like him. Not just bans but IP bans. They might do nothing for someone with a VPN but it will clean up some of the trash thats scamming around on this forum. At some point leaving negative trust feedback really does nothing. And newbies still read his topics without understanding the kind of person he is.

If not a ban, could we at least get global ignores for all user-posts or a mechanism for denying users with a certain amount of negative trust the freedom to create topics?
2363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: taking out a loan for a sports bet (UPDATE) + fixed match on: August 08, 2022, 08:22:59 PM
Hi everyone, about a month ago I made a post about having insider info for a soccer match and I asked the community what the best way was to take out a large loan. I had a lot of people advise me not to do so, so I took your advice and didn't take out a loan, instead I just placed the amount I already had in my account.


Anyway, the bet won easily so I couldn't help but feel like I should've taken out the loan... Sad

I wanted to share a match on here in case anyone wants to follow along, I'm unable to place a large bet on this so I'm hoping someone else takes advantage. I hope this isn't against any community guidelines.

I am glad you won the bet, but taking out a loan to gamble was a bad life decision which could have taken a very bad turn. I hope your latest gambling win does not inspire you to take out more loans to gamble with. As far as betting goes, I only bet with money I can afford to lose without having to take out any borrowed money. In fact, I hate asking for loans. How did you even convince someone to loan you money to use for betting? Hopefully that was not mafia loans  Roll Eyes Tongue. That could have turned out really badly.

2364  Economy / Gambling / Re: The History Of Gambling. on: August 08, 2022, 03:17:59 PM
Everything out there is a bet really. Just think of every day life, you will be taking many decisions. Some of them are stupid and some of them are trivial - like what to dress or what to eat. However, many of the decision you take have pros and cons that are really important for your life and the life of other that you love. Something as stupid as to decide if you would take over a car in a road is a bet.

That seems very philosophical but you are not wrong in thinking that way. Life itself is obviously risky and everything we do is risky. The only thing we can really win by gambling at this casino named life, is more time.

Everything we do just gives us more time but in the end, the casino wins and we lose. Losing in this case means not only losing our money but everything we own, are or ever will be. Thats death basically. The worst loss you can experience in your lifetime.

But as with gambling normally at a casino, this type of "life gamble" is what we need. Otherwise can you imagine how boring existance would be?

Any stranger reaching out to you on telegram is 99.9% a scammer. If I were you I would avoid them. You can turn off the option of being contacted by strangers or added to groups in the Telegram options. I would recommend turning both off. I did and I have my peace now.

We are so early. #Bitcoin

Can you imagine the value of Bitcoin, once its limited supply has been made legal tender by the entire population of Earth?

We already are at the stage of small country adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender. Once a big country like Mexico joins in(and they will), then we will see the next stage of adoption. I believe that Bitcoin will become the global world currency. It's coming in the next 2-5 years. Definitely.

It's no "Three days of the Condor", which was a very good movie made in mid seventies and has some similarities, but by no means parallel.

Also thanks for the movie idea. I watched it and I am adding it to my list

I know it's available with English text, but I couldn't find it on youtube.
It's a classic, the ax scene from the shining, among other scenes, comes from this movie.

I added it to my list.

Also, this is the english translated full version. (Bad quality and weird music added): but https://youtu.be/ZvQzaSa_4Q0

2372  Bitcoin / Meetups / Re: How can I successfully organize a Bitcoin workshop on: August 05, 2022, 08:10:10 PM
Before you get any wrong conceptions, No I am not launching another scam.

I live in India and currently am studying engineering. My university has pretty sharp minds and is very good in what they are doing, however, there is a very wrong conception about BTC among the same audience. Nobody understands bitcoin. To make it worse there is a wrong conception about Bitcoin from the same, brought in from old concepts about money and the government.

To my ignorance, I wouldn't care about this anytime, yet I think having a basic workshop about how a Bitcoin works can help people to THINK, I believe. To bring in people, I am willing to put some promising offers for the candidates joining the seminar.

Will this help in any way?

Share your thoughts.


Its a bit hard to take your university serious and as "sharp minded" when people do not understand a very simple concept which has thousands of explaination videos on youtube which even explain Bitcoin in a way a non-coding layman can understand. It seems more likely that the problem is not that they do not understand but rather there is no interest among anyone at your university.

So from my point of perspective, the problem that you should be solving is how to get people interested in Bitcoin.

Your problem is a marketing problem. Find ways to market Bitcoin to them in a way that connects the old ways and the new and will drive people to become interested in Bitcoin.

The new site looks really good and feels much much smoother than the last iteration, I also saw that a bunch of new games got added which is very nice. FJ back to the top baby Wink
The websites we see here are new but better than the old ones and the movies we see here are still much better.
These games if we finally let me wait about minutes but here if we delete some of these things here if we see that it just proves that here we have to wait patiently but anyway the websites that are here seem to be very good.  going to do

Fortunejack is really upping the game when it comes to user experience design! I really like how pleasantly the colors match and overlap on the new version. It does not hurt the eyes and games are easy to find and understand. I have not yet had the pleasure of trying out the new games but I definitely will, when I find the time!

A lot of people assume that I am merely promoting this casino for money but the truth is, I have really started to like the site. Most comfy gambling experience that I have ever had!

I hope FJ stays at the top as number 1 for years to come! Good job, Fortunejack team! Kiss
2374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 05, 2022, 06:38:50 PM
Teddy Atlas expressed his opinion in his podcast about the second Canelo-GGG fight and the upcoming rematch, indeed, as he believes that "the old lion can roar for the last time" and it is obvious that the victory of GGG can only provide a clear advantage that does not cause doubt among the judges and here, it seems to me, Golovkin can only count on KO.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyHI95xEqF0

The judges are already under fire, for their bias towards Canelo during the first two fights against Golovkin, and during Canelo's fight against Bivol. Do you really believe that they will risk their reputation again by showing naked bias towards Canelo? That would infuriate a lot of fans out there. And although I understand that a second consecutive defeat for Canelo can cause huge losses to the American boxing syndicates, the solution is not to rig the scorecard. Trust me, that will have just the opposite impact of what is desired by them.

As much as a fan of Canelo that I am, I really cannot condone bias, especially from people with a position of power and responsibility like actual judges. They have already damaged their reputation far enough for me to distrust them completely. If anything this is why a large amount of people in the gambling world believe that even big fights like this are rigged. And the more I see unfair bias, the more I have to agree with them on that assessment.

I hope things start changing soon because the judges really ruin the fight for everyone. I find myself losing interest in whatever fight they have a say in.
2375  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can Day Trading be profitable in Crypto ? on: August 05, 2022, 06:23:56 PM
Daytrading could be profitable in crypto but it really depends on the kind of daytrading we are talking about. If you mean trading with derivatives, then you're almost definitely going to lose all your money. Without a doubt. And if you trade altcoin derivatives then the process is only going to be much faster because altcoins are usually low market cap and have high speculative volatility.

But if we are talking about spot daytrading, the best advice I can give you is not to trade below daily. You will grind through your coin with the trading fees.
This is mainly because of the fact that crypto day trading is not like other day trading in the world. Here it is very volatile and we are talking about liquidity not being available everywhere. Sure binance may have a lot, but not everywhere else does have it that way. Which is why I believe that we shouldn't really be worrying about the current situation, since liquidity is down everywhere.

This means that if you could find a place with low liquidity enough, you could take advantage of that while trading. You do not get anything like that anywhere else because it is centralized trading and even if you do it via a place that is used very little, it is still goes to the market with high liquidity.

I agree with what you're saying. The liquidity in most exchanges is going down and it is becoming very hard to sell/buy at a moments notice without making a huge loss. I had to stop trading on Poloniex for that exact reason. Nobody is buying or selling, the liquidity of Poloniex is becoming stagnant and I believe the exchange will drown soon if they do not save themselves from that problem.

An unexperienced trader might market buy at 5% higher than for example Binance market price. This is a huge problem and almost scammy in nature.

Avoid low liquidity exchanges if you day trade. That is definitely a good tip.

Hello

I have combination for bonus. Strategy is working 100 % . You can earn 500 eur to 1000 eur every day.
I will teach you every step . Payment can be via Escrow  Price is 2000 eur . Telegram is @tibeto123

This poster is probably a scammer

I would avoid him like the pest he is. There is absolutely no explaination on how he will bring you an earning of 500-1000 Eur every day and I believe he is withholding details because there is no strategy. Its just a scam or a ponzi scheme. The very fact he demands 2000 Euro is already a huge warning sign as well as wanting to discuss matters further on Telegram.

This topic has nothing to do with gambling and should be locked for the good of everyone.
2377  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1xbit dispute on: August 05, 2022, 05:52:14 PM



1xbit don't pay!!!!!

1xbit has many such accusations in the scam accusations subforum of Bitcointalk and even other accusations in other forums. It is obviously a scam casino or a very unprofessional casino run by idiots.

This is why I always tell people, especially newcomers to the world of gambling, in this case crypto gambling, that the minimum amount of research you should do before putting funds in a casino is to google two words. "[casino name]" and "scam". If the first page shows people complaining about being scammed by said casino, then you can do more research if this is happening to more than a few people. That is the absolute minimum amount of research you should do. I recommend way more research but for lazy people it will do.

But it seems people have too much money to care about being scammed nowadays. Whats the point of doing your own research if one is too lazy to google?
2378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Borrow fiat with your Bitcoin and never sell on: August 04, 2022, 11:03:22 PM
I don’t have enough Bitcoin (yet) to borrow for anything significant, but this is my ultimate plan. When I get enough Bitcoin, I would borrow no more than half its worth (in case the price drops), and then I would still have Bitcoin along with whatever property I buy with the borrowed money.

This seems like a smarter move than to sell the Bitcoin for fiat money. If I sell, then I have to pay capital gains tax. When the cash is borrowed, there is no tax. Since I still have the Bitcoin, then I will gain when the price rises. If I only have fiat, the “price” will always go down because of inflation.

I hope Bitcoin will eventually replace the fiat system, but until then, the market for cash favors borrowers over savers. This seems like a win-win situation.

Does anyone else plan on doing this?

So let me get this right:

You want to

1. Borrow fiat for half of your Bitcoin as collateral.
2. Pay off the loan by, what, selling Bitcoin profits for x amount of fiat or in the form of x amount of Bitcoin?

So either you are paying tax once you sell for fiat to pay your debt OR you pay in an agreed amount of Bitcoins. And seeing as Bitcoin is going up very nicely, you could actually lose out more on profits than you would have paid on taxes. Unless of course Bitcoin falls. But thats not a bet I would want to take. Because the chances that Bitcoin is going to go past 33% in price is more likely than the opposite. And at that point you lost more than if you paid 33% in taxes.

Don't the rich make money by borrowing fiat to buy property which will then generate turnover (revenue)? That generated turnover is taxed and part of the profit is used to pay back the loan? Once its paid back they can do the same method over again but this time borrow more by using the bought property as additional collateral?

Any turnover is still taxxed. If your property does not generate any profit and you have no fiat to pay them back then they can take your property and your Bitcoin as collateral. Am I missing something?

The same method for borrowing money to buy Bitcoin would generate huge profits.
But first you have to find someone to loan you fiat to buy Bitcoin.

The loan application conversation would go like this:

You : Hi, I want to borrow fiat to buy BTC.
Bank: No. If we were smart enough to understand the potential of Bitcoin, we would have bought it ourselves.
2379  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can all (or most) cryptocurrencies rise and fall at the same time? on: August 04, 2022, 10:09:09 PM
I am not one hundred percent sure but I think it might also have a lot to do with whales deciding on market sentiment mostly from looking at the biggest market cap player, Bitcoin. If cryptocurrency sentiment goes down, thats just the whales shorting against stablecoins or fiat. And if the altcoin is pair-listed with Bitcoin, a lot of people push Bitcoin down even further by selling it for said Altcoin. But thats the same reason as why altcoins go higher than BTC whenever there is BTC pump. Basically thats just them longing their altcoin against Bitcoin.

I might be totally off but thats how I see it.

BlackRock hops on bitcoin bandwagon with new Coinbase tie-up.

Quote
After years of resisting, the world’s largest asset manager has finally taken the plunge into crypto in a substantial way. BlackRock, which oversees $10 trillion in assets, is partnering with publicly traded Coinbase to provide its institutional clients with access to cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is the first digital asset being offered through the partnership, according to a blog post Coinbase, the most popular crypto exchange in the U.S., released on the matter today. BlackRock’s Aladdin investment management platform will offer connectivity to Coinbase Prime to offer crypto trading, custody, prime brokerage and reporting capabilities to shared clients.

“Common clients of Aladdin and Coinbase will be able to manage their bitcoin exposures alongside their public and private investments for a whole-portfolio view of risk,” BlackRock wrote in an announcement.

Holy goodness.  That either means we are the new rich elite, or that we are totally fucked.

I am leaning towards fucked, but...  (or should it read "but, fucked?")

Pink, fleshy, and round, the anus has a lot in common with the mouth and is every bit as important.

But the similarities don’t just stop there. Buttholes can also help animals breathe, new research suggests.

A team of scholars in Japan has found that pigs can absorb oxygen through the anus, in studies exploring treatment for people with respiratory conditions.
