No, people aren't jealous with their friends or other people who take risk to become success.

But, people are jealous with their parents and families privileges.

There's a big difference when other people parents are having a good job and a lot money. At least if their kids try to create a business and fail, it won't ruin their life. They still have a house to live and eat well. Not to mention they can go university without need to care about the tuition fees.

Moreover if their parents are successful businessmen, you have no worry to try create 10x businesses and all of them fail.

Life is unfair, but I didn't mean to disrespect my parents.

Why elderly are the highest and biggest victims? because the criminals know elderly are richer than the younger one because they saves more money.

Why it's happening in first world countries? because that's where the money is.

With scams on the rise, do you think the current security measures are enough? Or what do you think needs to be improved to reduce scams?
Thing needs to be improved in order to reduce scams in cryptocurrency is the government should encourage their citizen to open and read users' posts in this forum, I don't see any users in this forum give bad suggestions, if they can stick what users in this forum saying, they will be safe.

Use of robot may be form of more modern development but will casino owner adopt robot to run his business, some things are impossible for robot to do and I sure human performance will still be the main priority, on the other hand an idea like this will also make casino owners have to spend more money because the adoption of robot will certainly cost lot of money.
It's better to use robot than hires human.

No bullshit, no dramas, no wage increase, and no scams, if I were a businessman, this will make me have peaceful life without need to care about my workers, I only need to focus on my system and my product.

Robots may made mistake, so do human, so I won't really concerned with rare or small mistake because either robot or human, both of them are same.

Now imagine smaller casinos; they could shut down if they get hit with penalties for non-compliance. That’s why as gamblers, we should always choose reputable casinos. Even if they require KYC, at least we know our private information is safe because they’re being monitored by their license providers.

So, we shouldn’t worry about submitting KYC, as long as we stick to reputable casinos, as I’ve mentioned.
This doesn't apply to Curacao license casinos, they only ask the application and license fees, that's all.

Is there any gambler in this forum get restricted to gamble/ limit your account from Curacao license casinos due to lose too much? I haven't find it, only gamblers who won where their accounts gets limit.

People shouldn't worry to submit KYC if they've submit KYC in centralized exchanges, both of them are the same thing.
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs): Do you know/use them? on: September 17, 2024, 05:35:03 AM
I voted Never heard about DLCs.

Unfortunately this smart contract seems not be useful and it's function is very limited. It can be used to bet if the results are come from the Bitcoin blockchain aka internal data, you can't bet if the results are from external data like betting on sports etc.

For people who care about the fee they pays will not use this since the transaction will be made automatically even though the mempool is congested.

7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin would have averted this painful loss, shame on fiat on: September 16, 2024, 03:11:44 PM
Of course Bitcoin is good for cross border payments and big transaction, but for small amount and multiple times aren't worth.

but what you can't identify is who the owner of the wallet is, and you can't also reverse that transaction as the money can also be considered lost forever.
Those two are good thing.

I don't see both of them as the disadvantages of Bitcoin, there's no need to know who own the wallet and able to reverse transaction is bad, it provide zero guarantee if the money belong to us or it will revert back to the sender.

Yes, I always have those suspicion and it's actually true that some of those bad actors have hands with some bookies as they use them to alter the supposed results of matches. With this their evil activity, they cause innocent and genuine players to lose their money. The worst part of the situation is that, it's only the football officials or players that gets caught, they don't mention the casinos they are working with.
Well you know, money is everything.

When the police caught a scandal, they need to bring something to the public. In this case there are two entities i.e. the player and the casino, if both of them can bribe the police, they will be fine. But, they need to find someone who willing to be the "perpetrator", of course this will make them lose their reputation.

There are some great contributors on the forum who don’t necessarily get merits.
If their posts are really good, they will get merit when they report the posts in this thread [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source

But, if they don't get merit after they posts in there, it means their posts aren't that great, no offense.

Quote
I don't think this is correct.

It sounds like you want and encourage people in your local board to meriting with each other without care about the quality posts.

And why it must be 10 or fewer merits in the last 120 days? many signature campaign ask 5-10 merits in the last 120 days in their requirement, is this just a coincidence? Roll Eyes

The idea of this thread is simple: just introduce yourself, share why you joined the forum, and what you expect from it. You can write a short or long message, as long as you express your purpose here. Personally, I don’t have many merits, but I’m working hard to earn some from other sections to help share with deserving users based on my judgment.

So, go ahead, post now! This is open to anyone with 10 or fewer merits in the last 120 days.

That's why Nostr exist, it's an open protocol to decentralize internet.

There are many Nostr apps that people can use here https://nostrapps.com/

Obviously this can affect Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, but isn't this already a normal thing? many people and medias are still keep attacking Bitcoin due to its privacy and decentralized. Many country still blame Bitcoin for consume a lot energy and used for criminal thing.

I mean, this is nothing new.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Regarding sports betting, how do you do your analysis if u don't have much time? on: September 15, 2024, 02:15:34 PM
If you lack of time, it's better for you to learn how to analyze in short time. Remove many small details in your analysis, only focus on important thing like history, home/away, player injured, head to head etc.

It's not worth to spend a lot time for something fun, gambling is for fun you know.

Except you're a professional bettor who make living from betting.
12  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Getting out of Poverty on: September 15, 2024, 12:25:41 PM
Personally I refuse to accept being poor as my fate because it might validate any wrong decision I make about my life.
Definitely you shouldn't think like that.

I'd say what I said above is for public, since that's the reality. We might not able to achieve our dreams if we're lack of basic needs, yeah there's a chance, but it's like only one person from 100K poor people achieve it.

For ourselves, we should keep in my mind if we should try until we die, even we didn't achieve it, but at least we wouldn't regret with what we do in our life.
13  Other / Meta / Re: Why does merits source takes time to be approved? on: September 15, 2024, 08:01:29 AM
If it's just for you, that's fine, but if you look at the overall picture of the forum, it's clear that there’s a significant need for merits. We want this forum to grow and become stronger, which means attracting new members who are willing to contribute or become major contributors in the future. Merits are a key way to encourage more posts because, let’s face it, having more merits improves your chances of earning here on the forum.
And then the forum will suffer from merit inflation.

Now your merit received in the last 120 days is 1, I'm 23, other user let's say 100. Having more merit sources could increase the chance to receive more merit, let's say your merit 120 days become 2, but what if I received 46? and other user who was received 100 merits, now they received 200 merits?

So, having more merit sources doesn't actually improves your chances to earn more.
14  Economy / Economics / Re: Can you quantify inflation? on: September 15, 2024, 03:49:43 AM
I think inflation rate in basket of goods and services already represent the actual thing, like medical inflation, education inflation, foods inflation, housing inflation etc. But I wish the statistic they got after counting all the items instead of only few items.

Like foods inflation, I expect they've check chicken, egg, rice, flour, cookie, cake, vegetable, bread etc inflations, instead of only pick chicken, egg and rice inflations then claim to be whole foods inflation.

If you think about it, every metric in economics carries a significant degree of unreliability on how accurately it represents what it presumably measures; inflation, minimum wage, unemployment rate, gross domestic product, consumer price index, interest rates, tax rates. Every measure is the result of humans trying to quantify the economy. This overconfidence, coupled with a lack of humility in believing we can fully understand and predict human behavior, is undoubtedly, in my view, why these metrics are inherently flawed and fallible.
The government want to make their citizen fear.

High unemployment rate, high inflation rate, minimum rate etc all of them enforce people to stay in their current jobs, as long as they get paid with minimum rate, they're better than unemployed. They make the employees to not out by telling there are many people are still looking for a job.

You've been on this forum for a long time, I'm surprised that you ignored the rule about not posting referral links.
I have nothing against it, but that rule exists for a reason and should be followed. You should have at least emphasized that some links contain a reff link, although I am not sure that this is under the rules.
That's a subjective rule.

Many thread especially in gambling board are having their own referral links in the first post, yet the moderators didn't delete the thread. They also didn't mention if their thread contain referral links too.

Read this.

However, if you are using the forum as a publishing platform to host something really substantial and useful, selling ads in that substantial work is allowed. To be eligible for this, your post must be in a topic that you started, and your post must be substantial and long enough to make the ad seem entirely insignificant. If in doubt, ask me.
16  Other / Meta / Re: Collapsible Merit Received in threads and replies (Show more... & Show less...) on: September 13, 2024, 04:02:20 AM
That's a good one.

When I opened the thread, I can only see my profile, @OP and the list of users who merit the thread lol. 2-3 lines is enough to show the merited users.

Maybe it would be better if it shows the total received merit too.
17  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BEP-20 Trades - Suspended In US Exchanges - What To Do? on: September 13, 2024, 03:35:03 AM
I wanted to answer just exchange your BTCB to other currency, but I found that BTCB isn't tradeable on Coinbase.

Bitcoin BEP2 (BTCB) is not tradable on Coinbase.

I'm not sure which trustworthy no KYC exchange that accept BTCB, mostly they only accept BTC on chain or BTC lightning network.

I guess FixedFloat might be the most safe sites from this list, it has been around for many years.

Another solution you can trade with users in this forum by posting your offer in this board.

Welcome to the forum, I see your casino is quite big in other platform and you've ran few giveaways too!

You have a good potential in this forum, hope you will survive and able to compete with other casinos.

Using VPN is breaking Razed rules? It became interesting to me and I would like to try, but unfortunately I do not have such an opportunity.
I don't find any rules about VPN in their terms, but they only not allow people who live in this jurisdictions to play, so check whether your country is included on this list or not. My speculation is using VPN shouldn't be a problem.

The casino will pay it.

The only way gambling providers pays the casino if there's a bug or technical issue that affect the results, the casino will fine the providers and providers need to pay certain amount of money. Or the providers have their own casinos.

Other casinos are only renting the gambling providers' games, the providers aren't responsible with the casino loss/profit.

Israel is not a country, it is an illegal occupying force that has taken over Palestine. Of course if you ask me Israel is more like a terrorist organization similar to ISIS.
Unfortunately big corporations are keep supporting Israel, in maps you will not find Palestine, instead you will find Israel. This making people think Palestine isn't a country or they want to take over Israel's lands, this propaganda still not ended yet.

Although there are no more hype between the war, but Israel is still attacking Palestine till now, however we shouldn't stop the boycott!
