Problems like these false claims are some of the importance of joining a forum like bitcoin talk. This platform gives both the casinos and gamblers the privilege of submitting their case and defending themselves. The scam accusation section in the forum is like a law court where each party will put forth pieces of evidence to prove their case. And the members of the forum will deliberate on the matter and come out with recommendations. Any party found guilty will receive the appropriate sanctions. From these proceedings, I have keenly observed that it is not all scam accusation against a casino that is true. Some are the fault of the gambler or they simply refused to read or obey the terms of service  

The mistake you made was to send your funds to a casino. And you can not predict your wins so believing that you can increase the amount is another blunder. Gambling is unpredictable so you can not forecast your profit margin. It will be better to send only money you want to use for gambling in the casino. So the ideal thing to do is to fund your gambling account periodically based on your budget and when you lose all overtime,  you shouldn't put in more funds from other sources. You have to take necessary precautions before it becomes a normal event. And the first start should be to change your campaign wallet address.

A mentor is can be referred to an adviser. I don't think it is a bad idea to admire someone who you think is knowledgeable about Bitcoin and gain some vital information from them. I have contacted some persons personally to seek clarification on several issues relating to Bitcoin and it has been very helpful. Following people on social media that you think are sound can be also helpful. But it is important to always verify the information you get from your mentor this is why you need other sources of information. There is no information that you need about bitcoin that cannot be accessed through books and the internet.

I prefer not to have close ties with any individual because people can change their ideology and mentees can be easily influenced by mentors. Some Bitcoin early adopters lost faith in the coin and began to promote FUD and altcoins. People that saw these derailed early adopters as their mentors can be easily deceived that is why it is important to do your own research in most cases.

A report claims that 32% of Singaporeans currently or previously owned crypto which means that the country is a large market.  Coinbase has been facing some lawsuits in the US so there is need for Coinbase to spread its business networks to other crypto-friendly countries. This move will attract more investors to the crypto sector and it will also create more job opportunities.  Singapore is one of the crypto-friendly countries and they are also taking advantage of the country's industry to attract investors and raise money through tax. Coinbase has been one of the solid exchanges that have lasted for a long time and they have brought innovation to the centralized crypto sector. But we should all remember the fact that the goal of Bitcoin is decentralization.

I wouldn't forget USA 94 in a hurry. Although I was a little kid but I watched many games each time I had the opportunity. The organization was okay because I never recalled hearing any news of poor management before, during and after the competition. I don't think anyone will doubt the ability of the US to host a successful World Cup competition. This is because the country has experienced technological advancement better than 29 years ago.

The US soccer league might not be one of the best in the world but the national team is highly ranked by FIFA. The US national team is the 11th best team in FIFA ranking while the recent World Cup host is ranked 61st. Indeed, soccer is not their major sport but the country also has a high population of soccer fans that will fill stadiums during the World Cup. The addition of fans from other parts of the world will make the competition a memorable one.

This is the ability of investors to overcome FUD and hold on to the investment plan. They were able to damn media reports that fed the public with fake news. There have several obituary announcements about Bitcoin to discourage investors but some diehards kept hodling

I think the early adopters believed the unbelievable. When others saw Bitcoin as a scam or a joke, these set of individuals believed that the currency had a future.

Many people lost money investing in Bitcoin because they saw Bitcoin as a short-term investment or quick money scheme. Bitcoin is not like altcoin which the price can pump and dump overnight.

Most people who lost money invested in Bitcoin were because of impatience. Bitcoin has always recovered its losses, which means that it will be difficult to lose money investing in Bitcoin.

I think you have a good point. Social media has made learning easy and anybody can acquire any form of skills or expertise. There has also been an increase in so-called trading gurus who claim to know all the rudiments of crypto trading. They teach trading as if there is no risk or losses. Recently one of these online teachers introduced a trading robot to his followers and told them that it has 98% accuracy. Like you said experience will always be the best teacher. With time many of these traders will know the true reality of the trading industry. Many of them will abandon the profession, while others who keep learning will gradually master the skills of trading.

Hahahaha!!!!. We might later discover that Sepp Blatter received kickballs from Lionel Messi. The Swiss was so corrupt that he was disgraced out of FIFA. However, it seems that there is still some corruption ongoing within the organizer of the Ballon d’Or. The 2021 award that was won by the Argentine was fraudulent. A German newspaper called a scandal and the organizers received widespread criticism. Even a child knows that Messi didn't deserve the award because Robert Lewandowski's performance was far better. But the German striker was robbed of a golden opportunity to be the world's best and I doubt if he would have such privilege again.

Messi won the World Cup and so what? He doesn't deserve to win the Ballon d’Or again in his lifetime. He is no longer playing active club football because the US league is a jamboree. This is the time of Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Victor Osimhen.

Historical analysis of bitcoin is not always reliable because the global economy is changing. The threats or opportunities bitcoin faced last year is not similar this year. I hope that these upcoming activities will be favorable to the bitcoin ecosystem. If these developments turns out negative, the price of bitcoin might also be affected.

The price of bitcoin next month will depend on many political and economic factors. A policy change in the US or China can affect the price of bitcoin next month. Interest rates and the economic performance of some nations is also a determinant factor. The price now is around $27,000 which is encouraging,  however, my prediction for October will be $29,000.

You would also agree that these strikers are not some of the best in Europe currently. Renato Sanches and Paulo Dybala can be rated as average players but Roma shouldn't depend on Romelu Lukaku to get the goals. Lukaku has improved slightly but a team like Roma needs something better. If it was not for the financial constraints the club would have gotten better players. So I will agree with @Docnaster that José Mourinho needs more players to make his work easy. He is still a highly respected coach that many clubs will be willing to hire if he is sacked.

I will say it was a lucky day for Genoa to have the first home win for the season. Roma poorly defended and they gave Genoa's striker too much space. Roma's fans turned against their club chanting at Jose and his players demanding some respect. I think the fans have endured a hard time with five points in six matches. Jose has promised to turn things around and I saw him supporting his players after the game. He is still the special one maybe he will perform some miracles.  

Understanding the rudiments of the game you are betting on is very important. Many people depend on social media or others for bets without knowing anything about the game. I only place bets on games that understand and can analyze effectively. I read a lot about the games and I also watch them when I am opportune.  My interest in the game has given me the right footing to place bets based on in-depth analysis. I will never place a bet on games I know nothing about except I am doing it just for fun.

There is risk attached to almost everything we do in life. But we choose to do them when we believe that the risk is worth taking because the outcome will be profitable. You are right that we should always consider the effect of the risk we take while betting to ascertain if it is worth taking. We shouldn't always look at the profit or wins, but we must check our budget. We should consider the effect of losing the game on our finances first before checking how much we can win.

Your caption might not be correct because I don't think there are any consistent betting tips. Gambling is a game of time and chance so there are no constant winning strategies.

You are lucky mate. Stories of people winning gives me hope that one day I might also be lucky. But these stories shouldn't make us take gambling very seriously because it is not a full-time or part-time job. Gaming should be seen as fun but when the wins come we celebrate and keep moving.

This kind of win can trigger one to increase the gambling budget. But like you said gambling is also a game of luck. No matter how much we win or lose let's follow our budget because gambling is unpredictable.

You are welcome to the forum. Studying the rules of the forum is very important so I have to commend you for reading them. I also assume that your post will be helpful to newbies. But I checked your post history and it shows that you have made five posts of which three are new threads you created.  I always advise newbies to read more and write less. You need time to understand the workings of the forum before you start making posts. Your post will be appreciated if it contains information that will be helpful to the forum. If you had used the search option of the forum, you would have discovered that you can find the information in your post in many threads.

I have had many banking problem and it is better not to remember them. I have missed a business opportunity because the money I transferred to a client was not received. My pain was that I could do nothing about the transaction. The bank couldn't explain the cause of the problem and there was no means to track the funds because some intermediaries were involved. They just told me to wait for seven working days without explaining what the problem was. But bitcoin is different. If your transaction is stuck in the mempool it will be obvious and you have options to make your transactions to be confirmed. I would have opted to increase the transaction fee than to lose that lucrative business opportunity.

A relative's ATM was stuck in the bank's automated teller machine. Since that day was a public holiday,  he couldn't access the bank that same day. After a few hours he began to receive debit alerts,  his funds were transferred out of his account and all the funds he had in his account were withdrawn. From investigation, it was discovered that a bank official was the criminal. The banker accessed the ATM took the card and transferred the funds to an online bank. This loss was caused by an intermediary and a card. With bitcoin, I don't need any card or middleman to do my transactions. With just my wallet, I can send and receive funds. One doesn't need to expose himself to scammers that are around the banking system. He asked the bank for the details of their investigation but he was asked to get clearance from the police and affidavit from the court. But with bitcoin, you can see the movement of your coins without any bureaucratic process.

I have so much respect for Gennaro Gattuso right from the days he was a player.  He was a very strong and rugged midfielder who was well-loved by his clubs (especially AC Milan) and country.  As a player, the Italian has won the Champions League, Coppa Italia, Serie A title, Italian Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, and UEFA Supercups. However, he has failed to replicate this performance in his coaching career. He had a fairly successful career in Napoli, although he was sacked after a few months. But he attracted and bought some of the best players Napoli can currently boast of. He had a very bad time in Valencia where he was sacked when the club was in 14th position.

Marseille is not in very bad shape at least they are in the 8th position but their 4-0 loss to PSG was a little bit embarrassing.  He is a good coach who has good relationships with his players. I was surprised that Gattuso who was an aggressive player became very soft to his players. I wish him success in his new assignment in Ligue 1.


Victor Osimhen has to leave Napoli if he wants to enjoy football. It is clear that if he fails to score in a few games, the club media team will do more harm. He is also having an unhealthy relationship with coach Rudi Garcia, so he might never be respected like Luciano Spalletti. If he gets a good offer, it will be better to move to England where the league has better administration.

I like gambling on games that I understand and have a passion for. Therefore my gambling life is limited to only sports in love. I wouldn't gamble on any sports that that is strange to me because I wouldn't know how to analyze or predict. But I think that your advice is valid. Gambling on different sports can lead to over gambling which will lead to addiction. I don't also think that more games give greater chances of winning because you might not be skillful in many games. It is better to be a master in a few games than to be a novice in many games. But this does not rule out the fact that you might one to try some new games just for fun or more knowledge.

I usually see some gamers spending so much time on phones or bet shops because of gambling. I find this behavior unnecessary because time is valuable. They should engage in something meaningful than spending time playing different games. In gambling your time and resources should be well planned to avoid addiction.

These social media influencers are just concerned about making money. None of them are giving out humanitarian or free services to the public. 1xbet is a well-known casino that can pay these influencers a high amount of money to promote their services. Some of them don't care about the reputation of the form they are promoting because they are only targeting profit. It is also possible that Passenger Paramvir might not be aware of the fraudulent reputation of the casino, you can send him a personal message to inform him about the danger of promoting this casino.

I think to have made some important points. We shouldn't advertise or promote any service that we know can harm the society. We should also put ourselves in the shoes of people who will experience loss due to our actions. Money is not everything so we should not be blinded by financial gains and assist a firm in defrauding or scam the public. But sometimes these firms pretend to have good intentions only to rug pull or engage in exit scams.

Happy Silver Jubilee celebration to Google.  I saw that the double "O" has been changed to "25" and I didn't understand the meaning until I saw this thread.
Google has been a friend and a partner. He has also been my teacher and dictionary. Without Google, I don't know how learning and researching would have been.

I can't tell the precise date but Google has been my partner for more than a decade.

I have not really used other search engines because Google have always given me what I want regarding general knowledge. But when it comes to scholarly research I have other search engines.

@Bitstar_coin are you carrying out a survey for Google ? The firm should have more local language versions and they should do more to promote privacy.

The rate of debt because of the use of credit cards to gamble is quite alarming. But the cause might not be the cards but gambling addiction.  In my location, the use of credit cards is not popular so gamblers use alternative means. I have seen gamers take loans using their personal belongings as collateral because of gambling. The problem with these people is not credit cards but lack of control. Some persons can even engage in criminal activities just to have access to money for gambling.
In Australia, the use of credit or debit cards for fiat gambling is banned. Now the country wants to extend the rule to crypto gambling.  This will indeed help to reduce the gambling addiction of those whose cards are what triggers the drive to gamble. But I know that we have many responsible gamers that have access to multiple cards. Credit cards are not the only cause of gambling addiction, there are many other triggers and the government should act on them.

The cryptocurrency financial sector is in its developmental stage so issues like hacks and scam projects will always occur. As old as the fiat banking system they still suffer from security breaches and scams. In 2022 banks in the US paid close to $1.2 billion ransomware payments. So these attacks are not limited to the crypto industry but as the sector grows, it's security will improve.

I don't think that the majority of people are comfortable with KYC because it is an arbitration of the concept of bitcoin. The only reason why people give out their KYC is because they have few options. In my country, centralized exchanges are the major means of dealing with Bitcoin this is due to the fact that we have limited P2p platforms.  It would not be a bad idea for exchanges to adopt current security measures to curb these attacks but some of them went bankrupt not because of attacks but mismanagement.

These attacks will not end automatically, in fact, they might always be a problem in the crypto sector. Adoption should be promoted using the right information. People should be aware that they can keep their money in a safe non-custodian wallet and be their bank. They should be taught how to protect their coins against hacks. We should let them know that keeping money in centralized platforms is riskier.
