Thank you! Yeah I am sketched out with them. Support is not very supporting. It was few mins to now tomorrow. I am also not a very patient person lol. And when I saw how difficult are them to deal with (after the fact) I ran away and withdraw most of my winnings. I also read that they require Skype verification etc, I understand that if you won millions of dollars. But for 600 bucks lol, I hope it's not the case.
Most gamblers are always impatient when it comes to winning withdrawals.
About the Skype verification. Did the casino request that from you? If not ignore the rumor since we are talking about long existing casino.
163  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BTC private key generates wrong address. on: November 12, 2023, 06:12:47 PM

The problem is the people usually fail to make an airgapped device. And ignore the importance of having an offline device.

Most users just download electrum (or use some random wallet generator found online) on their personal computer, generate the wallet, save on a paper and delete the wallet. This is not safe. There are dozens of threads like this in the forum, where users were hacked and lost their coins with similar methods.

I don't use paper wallet myself, just for small amounts.

Just as you said one thing I will always tell someone not that tech savvy is to just go for hardware wallets not that it is better than airgapped wallets in my opinion but it save you the trouble of not making a mistake.
Yes, you have a point but setting up a hardware wallet can also be problematic for people who are not tech-savvy especially those that are new to cryptocurrency.
It's better to have a good understanding of setting up an air-gapped wallet and hardware wallet if the people who are not tech savvy are serious about crypto.
164  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Holding for long might not be the best option. on: November 12, 2023, 05:57:32 PM
So I sudjest sometimes if the market is going down beyond bearable measures, there is need to swap your BTC to USDT to keep your capital safe in other to buy back when it is going up to avoid loosing some huge amount of money.

USDT isn't the best stabecoins to use for holding your profits. They're centralized and been controlled making it not any different from fiats currency. Your assets can be frozen when held in USDT and the price is been manipulated constantly.
The absence of a decentralized stablecoin in the cryptocurrency market is one of the drawbacks we have in the market and according to research, a total of $835 million in USDT has been frozen by the USDT team.


Hodling your Bitcoin has always been the better option as it gives you a long term profits when compared to trying to catch the top of the market to sell and bottom to buy back. These targets looks achievable on paper but hard to execute.
Yes, you're right and it is always better to take profit while having the initial investment amount held in Bitcoin instead of selling and buying back. I think that is what the OP is trying to say.

I am new to Bitcointalk
Welcome on board.

Just as what I have used on my title I want to know the possible ways to avoid scammer and phishing sites
Careful of what you click is not enough to keep you safe from phishing attacks if you don't familiarize yourself with the real website. Another thing you should emails mimicking.
166  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Angry at the high fees? That's what everyone predicted the future will be like! on: November 10, 2023, 11:15:34 PM
I think the reason people are dragging their feet about the high transaction fees associated with Bitcoin is that they do want to accept the benefits but ignore the drawbacks of the market experiencing large volumes of transactions. They want to see the price of the BTC holding rise or see widespread adoption.
They dislike the sacrifice it brought, but they welcome the advantage they will have from the market when BTC sees extreme traffic.
I accept this fact and choose to use the alternative. That's why I am never angry about the BTC tx fee.



167  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: investing plan on: November 09, 2023, 02:30:57 PM
Hello Community,

I have 1500$ and i want to invest it crypto as holdings. What do us suggest invest it all on BTC or alts? Thanks
It depends on the holding time frame but no matter the time frame investment in Bitcoin is always the best in the crypto market especially that alot of big investment giant companies are putting billions of dollars in Bitcoin spot ETF imagine that the price of 1BTC will be after billion of dollars is injected into the BTC market.
168  Economy / Economics / Re: Swiss Franc become a new Cryptocurrency ;D on: November 09, 2023, 01:57:46 PM
The Swiss National Bank has launched a program to digitally transform the Swiss Franc into Cryptocurrency.
Five banks are participating in the experiment, including UBS (Credit Suisse went bankrupt, as we know).

https://goldblum.ch/news-and-media/swiss-franc-is-becoming-a-cryptocurrency
It is nice to see that some government and Central banks now find digital currency as a safe haven but let's face the fact that the Swiss National Bank digital currency will never be cryptocurrency for it's not different from the CBDC created by the Chinese government.

Same goes with the CBDC. CBDC's are like a crypto because they run in the blockchain and again just like a crypto, they must have a limit when it comes to supply. I think they are backed with the country's available currency.
The CBDC is not like crypto, yes they run on blockchain but will never have a limited supply because it's against the fundamental belief of the government, and creating CBDC is to create something like traction for people who strongly believe in crypto because of its liberation.
169  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: The mom of my friend got scammed 7.3k$ from coinbase usin an app like teamviewer on: November 08, 2023, 11:53:44 PM
Hi all ! this is my second time on bitcointalk , first time i wrote on the forum was couple weeks ago when i got scammed by a guy i trust ( for 300$ )
In the cryptocurrency space, the only person you can trust is yourself and never entrust something valuable or important to someone else.

In your opinion is possible to understand where the guy and if he cashed out? using /ww w. blockchain. c om
Only if the scammer don't mix the coin.

( dont know if i can post links here) i saw that he sended the ammount to 9 different wallets a specific ammount and  18 different wallets another ammount, starting sending in date 03/11/2023 till yesterday 06/11/2023... I saw that he used BINANCE 4 in some wallets to get out the money , but i cant understand well if he sended it or received it from there, im not good at reading the blockchain txs im sorry, thats why im here . Obviously tommorrow we go together to tge police with her , but i think its normal to bring them some proofs , so we can eventually block his future transactions on binance or other centralized exchanges he used to get the money out . Could you guys helpp me to have more informations as possible about this person ? i have his phone nr , he used a dutch tel. number to call her , obviusly i tried to call him but not an answer and i got blocked fast... I just want to help my friend and his mom, if you guys would help me out by reading better between txs and obtaining some info, i thank you a lot in advance , God bless . Cry
This is beyond something you can do. First, the woman needs to secure her phone, computer, and other means of communication she used with the scammer.
You guys ought to report the issue to the authorities so that Binance can freeze the scammer's account but you can still give it a try and also record the scammer's wallet on here.

Ok, got it. I said her already to uninstall the app and have get a new password to her accounts. However, what you mean by mix the coin ? thanks
Cryptocurrency mixing is also known as crypto tumbler and it's the process of tainting crypto transactions which will make it impossible or almost impossible to know the initial wallet where the BTC was sent from. In other words, it's a privacy enhancement in crypto.
170  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Never say your recovery seed or private key out loud! on: November 08, 2023, 10:15:30 PM
What on earth could make anyone tell another person his/her seed phrase over the phone?
Lack of knowledge about cryptocurrency.

That’s doesn’t make sense.
It does make sense because alot of crypto newbies are doing unbelievable things with their crypto-holding making them the victim of crypto scammers.
Here is an example


Your gadgets could be the spy agents
Yep, it’s no longer a secret that certain phone apps listen on their users in order to gather data from them.
Not only app. There are some phone and computer keyboards that expose people to danger. This led to people buying privacy-enabled phones.

Big tech companies pay good money for these data. Ever wondered how come an ad about bags pops up on your timeline moments after you and your friends were just talking about bags. This is very common on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. We sign up to these platforms and agree to their terms of service without fully understanding what it means.
Facebook is the master of user data stealing social media and that's the reason why Mark once had a lawsuit for user privacy data because only cares about making more money.

172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If I have 1BTC So how did I use to invest in different Coins on: November 06, 2023, 01:22:31 PM
Having 1BTC out of the whole 21 million coins is the dream of every cryptocurrency investor, so why plan investing in different coins when you can just hold a signed coin that outshines every other cryptocurrency in the market?
that is a complete question that I wanna put here , OP seems to be looking for problem than investing.
If he's looking for problem instead of investment in cryptocurrency then this market is not for him since the next few months market will be determine by Bitcoin market trends.

Having 1BTC out of the whole 21 million coins is the dream of every cryptocurrency investor, so why plan investing in different coins when you can just hold a signed coin that outshines every other cryptocurrency in the market?

True talk, one does not need to have upto that 1btc befo he could make an investment, bitcoin is just an opportunity giver for those that realized it importance, relevance and advantages over every other cryptocurrencies, if we are not being too greedy or impatient, them we will realized the reason why we must hold onto bitcoin for our investment and not altcoins, even if we are to invest on altcoins, it must be minimal and we must consider the risk.
Meanwhile, impatient and greed of altcoin investment when not having the needed knowledge for portfolio management and choosing the right altcoins is one of the reasons most newbies make losses.
This is the reason why I suggested going for BTC alone as the best for OP.

174  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: First buy Bitcoin as a newbie, good way to start. on: November 04, 2023, 11:14:38 PM
I use myself as an example, be for I started to acquire knowledge about Bitcoin, I first bought some amount of Bitcoin and held it in my personal wallet, not an exchange wallet, and I had my wallet keys properly saved, and after that
Having your BTC saved in a personal wallet is still not safe or secure if you don't verify the wallet before using it.

So if you have the money to buy some Bitcoin,  why not buy first and thereafter learn along the way and keep practising the few things that you learn,
I think learning should be the first step. Not learning first before investing in BTC is like gambling without knowing the game rules and regulations such a person has to lose the game before even starting cause she will lack the knowledge on securing the investment, risk management, and taking a profit.
175  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Guide] What is recommended to follow "Social Media Or DYOR" in the crypto world on: November 03, 2023, 10:31:29 PM
The fundamental investment rule of cryptocurrency is to always Dyor first. 99.7% of most social media crypto influencer recommendations are pure shill and social media is the space where most market manipulation is generated lately. Besides, the SEC lawsuit against Kim Kardashian, Jake Paul, Lindsay Lohan, etc is an example.
However, we have some experienced crypto traders who tweeted that chart analysis that's different but people still to do their own research.
176  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: I want to start a Gambling operation and you can join ! on: November 03, 2023, 10:07:55 PM
Hi guys,
I suddenly lost all my btc so I need to activate an emergency plan (which will pay for my next rent)
I am working on a gambling project with some childhood friends who have good affiliate marketing experience and seo ranking expertise.
I would like to start with crash and need some assistance/ Stakeholders.
Stakes can be swapped against:
+ script providing,
+ a bid in our marketing or SEO

First, making the plan to create a gambling website or casino after you lose all your BTC will give everyone the impression that you're a gambling addict who's looking for quick money to fund his lust.
Second, reputable members of this forum have done the same with CasinoCritique and things never worked. From my findings, most casinos that do it successfully are already working casinos with good reputations. An example is Bustadice, and Yolodice (before they shut down).
177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: November 03, 2023, 01:05:37 AM
I’m a new member here, and I want to gamble on online casinos. I found some good trusted casinos. And I want to begin with a game with a low budget. First, I need your suggestions about the best games, slots. Live casino for a beginner.
The best game is the game you understand its rules and regulations. If you don't understand the main concept, rules, and regulations of the game you have already lost before you start the gamble.

Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.
Yes, if you don't learn about how to gamble profitably, control your buzz, and also mature enough to accept the fact that gambling is a game of chance the house (casino) will always win.
178  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What exactly is mainly stored on a hardware wallet? on: November 03, 2023, 12:01:07 AM
Most seed phrase can be easy to be memorized since it consists of words which the brain can easily retain.
You are incorrect, you might memorize 12 or 24 words today and still remember in a few days time, but what about after a few months and then years, you would definitely forget some words or mix up the exact sequence/arrangement. Even if you don't forget it in that way, what if you have a head injury or you fall ill to a sickness that affects your memory, etc.

The brain can easily memorize 12 or 24 words today, the same way it can easily forget it tomorrow, thus never you memorize your seed phrase, but always write it down with a paper and pen and keep it very safe.
I agree with what you said. Even if wallet seed phrases appear simple, it is never a good idea to memorize them because everyone experiences memory loss from difficult situations in life or altered memory access.
Aside from that, it's always preferable to back up wallet information when it comes to cryptocurrency.
179  Economy / Economics / Re: World economy not so difficult to Understood simple way on: October 24, 2023, 02:59:03 PM
It's time for me buy i wait for Fed to start.
Maybe not. The perfect time for buying is never when there's panic in the market not when there's greed but for those who haven't joined the wagon when there's panic they can still buy now.

When all down we just have to relax and wait for Fed they Will lower rates always when markets down.
So buy and wait for Fed
Anyways let's relax when fed pump our bags again because economy is pmp and dump wait for pmp then wait for dmp
In the next few years after the approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF, I believe we are going to see a lot of market manipulation from the ETF holder to get benefits they once missed from the market and I wish people wouldn't sell their BTC to their spot ETF.

As said by others, it's somehow hard to help based on the unsolid information you provided but if you talking about having Bitcoin core on the lost computer and you don't have the back file information the Bitcoin lost.
If you have on a website like some people did in the early days of BTC since you talking about login, the BTC is also lost.
No self-custodial holding means you're not the owner of the BTC.
