Looks like OP knows more than many of us here as I was also not aware that LoyceV is from Switzerland. Why does it feel like the OP is an alt of someone who has been a forum veteran as he found out about all of these legendary members in just one day? It took me a few days just to understand different boards and child boards when I was a newbie. Having an alt account is allowed in the forum but behaving as if you are new and trying to get some merits with such a topic does not look good.

What do you guys think about Bitcoin?

An amazing innovation that has changed the way finance used to look a decade back. At the moment it is one of the most transparent ways to do trade & make payments online.

What do you think the government will do about Bitcoin or other crypto in the next 5 years time?

In my opinion, it is hard to predict what government would do about Bitcoin as I feel they are clueless about it. One thing I am certain that they would come up with regulations but that would take some time. 

Has Bitcoin changed your living standard?

Yes, to an extent it has changed the way I was living a few years back and I think it would continue to upgrade my living standard in the coming years.

Do you think Bitcoin can get you financial freedom?

Financial freedom is a distant dream for me as I joined this bandwagon very late. If I had been part of its ecosystem in 2011 then I could have achieved somewhat financial freedom in 2023.

This is how middle class works and most of us might be able to relate to what I am going to write. The first thing they do is find a decent job and after that take life insurance. Some of them do take medical insurance apart from what the company is providing them. Then they start with SIP wherein they set a goal for every SIP, an example of a goal: a bike, a downpayment/full payment for a car, and a down payment for a house. When they reach middle age they are surrounded by EMI which barely gives them any space to think about other investment options.

At this age they have kids and they want their kids to have good education. The next set of SIPs is for their kid's higher studies, although in order to have higher education they would need an education loan. The SIPs only provide support for the education expenses of the kid. By the time they are free of all kinds of burden they retire and does not want their retirement amount to be invested in private bank or mutual funds. They would invest in schemes run by the government. How can you then ask them to invest in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies? The trend is changing but it will take another decade for Indians to go neck deep into Bitcoin investment.

I do not think this is an actual story, it indeed has some elements of an actual scenario but it was interesting to read. I felt it the protagonist in this story was an average individual who had the confidence that he would win one day and was committed to his belief. He never stop buying lottery tickets and when he suddenly won he had zero idea on how to use the winning money. Without proper money management, he lost what he had won. The end is a sad reality of every actual lottery winner in the past. Although some of them did proper money management they were only a few.

Yes, you are correct anyone can win $100 through gambling but winning it consistently is out of the question. If someone does win $100 they need to spend 10x the amount in order to get to the desired amount which only shows that the loss is always high than the winning amount. I still believe that it is not possible to earn money every day without you losing more than you win. In the end, a casino is being run to make profits and the house would ensure that its profitability does not go down.

In the past, the casinos were blamed by the government for harboring money laundering. A lot of them were either closed by the government or went offline, which caused issues for the users who had their deposits in these casinos. That is the reason why KYC is now being made mandatory in almost all online casinos. A few exceptions are there but sooner or later they will also implement KYC. With KYC you no longer are anonymous but as a user, you still have the anonymity factor with other users.

Gold is part of Indian culture, our mom, sister, and wife would know the best. If every Indian woman reveals the amount of gold they have then it would be more than the US reserve. Yes, I agree Indians do not buy gold for an ROI but as per my understanding, this gold is kept as a reserve in case of financial emergency. I still believe the only reason we Indians do not invest in crypto is because of the risk. As an Indian, I am aware of a few friends who are aware of Bitcoin but won't risk an investment. When I ask them why they would say there are other investment options available like gold, mutual funds and property. All the three are less risky investment than Bitcoin at the moment. 

Not a fan of slots but I have been playing Dice and Crash many times and have gone through the same phase as you. I have not been able to convert $1 to $200 like you did but I have made quite a few big profits with small investments. The number of wins is less than the number of losses for me and I believe most of here have gone through the same phase while playing games that are solely based on luck. I am also sure there are people here who have been more lucky than me and you.   

Looks like OP wants to create a hype around his project before it's official launch. I am unable to think of any other reason fro creating a thread with just one liner. Op as others have mentioned you need to bu Copper Membership in order for you to post images. Waiting for the ANN! I hope your project launches soon. Best of Luck.

I don't think restrictions would solve the problem. It is not that tough for a newbie rank to become a member rank now days. Next we will see Member rank holders posting ANN fot casinos claiming they are not from the team. What will you do next? Will you again ask the admin to restrict them from posting ANN threads. It is better that every member who wants to try a new casino take due diligence before a big deposit. If there is an issue then they should create a thread on the Reputation board. Furthermore I don't think Theymos would restrict newbie from posting an ANN thread. Already newbie rank holders have a lot of restrictions if you add posting restrictions then what is the use of that rank on the forum.

It all started when I saw my college mates earning daily by buying small lottery tickets every day. They used some kind of calculation to predict the winning ticket as they were buying in groups every day they were able to make a tiny profit. They then would use the winning amount for parties and other stuff which at that age is all I wanted to and I am sure everyone would have done the same thing at that age. That was the first time that I got hooked on gambling, it looked very good from the outside but when you become part of that lifestyle it does not look the way I saw it when I was not gambling. Yes, I agree in some way or another peer pressure does influence and some time act as a catalyst for gambling. In my situation it influenced me and then it got me hooked into the regrettable ecosystem and I had to go through a lot inorder to get out of that ecosystem.

It was a privilege to have been a part of the Trust Dice signature campaign from the very beginning. However, this amazing journey has come to an end today. I want to express my regards to Hhampuz and the Trust Dice team for granting me the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the Signature Campaign since its inception. Best of Luck for the future.

AI is a new technology that has changed the way a business was conducted earlier and now AI has become a big challenge. Considering what an AI can achieve if a user knows how to use it I feel this is bad for humanity. The reason being AI might become something that would take the job of a lot of professionals. That being said I believe a human would be more formidable than an AI when we think about sports betting. An AI would only respond to a query and a human would not as a human is already knows what he/she needs to work on. Bettors would benefit initially but in the end, the house would overcome it. Considering what might be the recursion in the long run I think the house won't tolerate such theft. We would only know what would happen next when such a issue is detected by the house.

India is a combination of different people with a lot of differences in religion, beliefs, and ethnicity. There is more than one reason why Indians are not investing in crypto. The first being without crypto investment people are still coming out of poverty. This is nothing but upskilling and uplifting everyone with the government policy. Another reason is crypto is not easy to understand for everyone in India. Being Indian does not mean everyone here has a technological understanding. That being said according to a survey a lot of crypto investors in India are from the age bracket of 20 to 25 years. We cannot expect the generation above 50 to understand cryptocurrency now and neither they will agree to it. There are a few who are still tech-savvy and do know the benefits. We need another 5 years and you would see a lot of change. I strongly believe the government policy would change and more Indians would be into crypto. All we need to do is wait and watch as this is not America or a European country.

It seems that you are more into imagination considering you being here for a few years now. What you are trying to tell is that you were the ones who made them convince to start with your previous argument with ananyabushra. That is not the correct way to interrupt it as it is just an assumption. Like you there were others who made this user's life miserable on different boards, go through the user post history and you would find the answer. Anyways this is what is called marketing research and then implementation according to the feedback generated by research.

Mixin Safe Review
Bitcointalk Username: pakhitheboss


Thanks, Royse777 for giving me the opportunity to review Mixin Safe. This is not my first review as previously I was part of another review campaign. I found Mixin Safe not to be user-friendly as you would need to use multiple apps. I started by downloading Mixin Messenger from the Google Play Store.

Mixin Messenger

What I liked about this app is that it is open source and uses End-to-end encryption for communication. What I did not like about it is that you can only log in using a phone number. While reading the privacy policy before setting up the app I found out that this app does access your [https://mixin.one/pages/privacy] phone contact list. Which for me was like an invasion of my privacy.

Setting up the app doesn't require any effort. It is simple to understand. Enter your phone number and wait for the OTP. After receiving the OTP create a username and then followed by a six-digit pin number, which you need to enter four times for you to remember as displayed on the screen. The reason is if you forget your pin you won't be able to access the app. In no time my wallet got created.
 
Mornin key

It is nothing but a password manager that is not free unless you download it from the Mixin Safe website. It is available for download on the Google play store for Android users. In my country, the price was showing INR 95 which is approximately $1.15. I did not find any rating for this app on the play store & didn't understand the reason to make it chargeable as its job is to just be a password manager. You can download it for free from the website, but I think the apk file does not work for the old Android version as I was using an old Android mobile with Android version 10. I basically bought it from the play store.

The registration process is again very simple all you need to do is to follow the instructions showing up on the screen. For backup which comes In the end, it will ask you to write down the mnemonic phrases but I found out that you can take a screenshot of that screen. I feel the screen capture facility should be disabled when it displays the phrases for the first time. If not then no need to write the following instructions asking the user to write down the phrases.



Setting up Mixin safe

Before I start I would like to know from the team the reason behind https://safe.mixin.zone/ not being mobile compatible. In today's age, I expect at least this feature from any platform running a web3 application. After being in service for 6+ years and having 1M+ customers mobile compatibility should be the prime focus of the team.

Now, let's go to the complicated part which I think will not be easy for someone new. I mean someone who is new to this industry. The major discomfort would be using a PC and mobile phone at the same time.
 
I followed the steps first step by studying the user guide mentioned on this thread. As I had already downloaded the Mornin key app my owner wallet setup was already done. The next process was to Sign in for which I need to scan a QR code using the Mixin Messenger. After scanning a window will pop up which is basically a request to authorize certain things. You can disallow everything except Read your profile. It will again ask you to enter your pin and it is done.

After you are signed in on the left side you will see the menu. I clicked on Safe and then clicked on New Safe, then add a name to Safe and select Bitcoin or Liecoin. On the next screen, you would now need your Mornin Key as you need to scan the QR code. Which I did and then followed the screens which for me were simple tasks.

Now, I have to again go back to the website and click on the next button. It asked me how many members I need for confirmation and I selected one and clicked next. On the next screen, I was asked to upgrade. As $2 was the cheapest and it served my requirement I went ahead with it.

Mixin pay

I think this is a great application and the team should work on creating a mobile application. What made me say wow when I saw there were multiple cryptocurrency payment options available. I selected USDT (TRC20), by default they had Tronlink pay as I did not have it I went for another option which was scanning the QR code. I used my Binance app to scan the QR code and it did not work as the minimum for this transaction is 10 USDT.

The next option for me was to use TRX. I went ahead and transferred the required amount of TRX using a local exchange. What I did not like is that Mixin Pay has a time counter on the payment page.



I feel it is useless as you cannot be sure about confirmation considering they have Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies as these cryptos are known for their volatility and uneven transaction fee. I have recently noticed that the Bitcoin transaction fee is more volatile than the market price of Bitcoin.

Next, I clicked on create button, and the owner approval step was done. I was now asked to use the Mornin Key app to scan the QR code, which I did and it took some time. I do not know why? Next, deposited Bitcoin did the transaction as everyone here did.

Conclusion

My experience was neither that bad nor that good. If I assume that I am new to this Bitcoin or Litecoin mixin. I would have been devastated as I need to use 2 mobile apps and then use the desktop application to get my desired outcome. The team needs to come out with a singular interface regardless of whether it is a mobile app or a desktop one.  

Who knows other casinos may be planning something to help those victims. It's actually not that easy as scammers would try to take advantage of this situation. I am certain Trust dice team have created a mechanism to identify those affected by Betnomi. It is a possibility that other casinos might be working on the same mechanism. Still, it is not that easy and in that sense such a good gesture by Trust dice should be appreciated.

The jackpot amount depends on the country that you live in. For some such an amount will completely change the way they live and for others it won't be enough. A gambler no matter how much he wins will still gamble for his satisfaction. By satisfaction I mean his addiction towards Gambling, he will convince himself to go further as he was able to win a big amount of 5 BTC he can now win 10 BTC with the previous winning amount. The never stop unless they feel it is enough for them.

Yes, you are correct they will experiment with Bitcoin payment system most probably in Europe or in South America. Depending on the success of this payment system they would do a systematic roll out globally. I still don't think they would be able to use it in India. I do agree such a gesture by Uber would help Bitcoin mass adoption though.
