Well what did you assume? That the market would go up when you bought your coins? Wishful thinking then. Bitcoin is still down from a few weeks ago but in comparison to months ago, it's in a better place so no worries there, just bide your time with it. For altcoins I tend to never really hodl them for a long term, that's just going to really make you lose out imo in most cases (some cases investing on an altcoin for a year or two can bring out a lot). ETH is still looking pretty good I think, looking at the chart you clearly bought both coins at it's peak, meaning when it was rising up. Buy when it's going down, not the other way around. Buying when the price is going up is a quick ticket to losing money in the obvious short term imo.

I meaan if you really want free, then faucets like freebitco.in seems like a good place to start. It's a well-known faucet since ages (It's also where I first started with Bitcoin). Other faucets may also exist but if the amount they presume to give is too big to be realistic, or is a "doubling" mechanic (you deposit some amount, you get double), then yea just stay away from them. What you linked was pretty much an article about Bitcoin itself (from what I skimmed), and not really bitcoin bonuses or something similar. Well just know the only legitimate way to get Bitcoin(that I know of, there may be more) is through mining or trading.

Because, well... it's instant? I mean who would bloody want to wait for your money to come in? Even outside of casinos, who would want to wait for say, your salary to come in months after you were supposed to get them? If it had interest, well, then that's the other thing (hence why lending business exists), but no, it doesn't have any of those. They just delay it infinitely because they want to (or they're using the money for something else).

But well, if I were to pick which of the lesser devils I'd prefer, a transparent support system would be my pick over instant withdrawals. At least I can trust them about when they'll actually give, though I guess it still depends if they go over my limit or not.

That's not a casino, that's a scam. Legitimate casinos would notify users of the changes in their ToS possibly weeks, maybe even months before they implement them. It's just something natural. If a casino didn't do so and updated them without notifying their users, I'd just leave since they've fully committed to scamming at least one person with that change.

Afaik there has been some people who were victims, I recall some of them provided proofs while others claimed to be victims but sadly no proof was shown. It is hard though since in the first place,  who takes a copy of the ToS of a casino? I certainly don't.

I wouldn't assume just yet that the bullrun is for the next year. And even if we were basing it off the halving, it's usually after half a year to a year of the event itself no?

Anyway assuming you'd participate in the next bullrun, whenever that is, I'd actively trade altcoins yea. The market is really active so you're going to see a lot of buys and sells. If you can manage, then you should be able to make some profit.

Kind of yea. Funny how it was in fact my first time gambling that I got threatened about it tbf. I've told this before but my first gambling experience was in Highschool. I was in a relationship back then, and well, let's just say she didn't know that I gamble. She knew I played with poker and the like with my classmates, she never knew money was actually involved. And well... after she discovered, rest is history. I stopped, like completely for a few years.

I'm just glad it wasn't anything above that right now (well I'm single so I couldn't really get problems from that), but well, sad state for your friend I must say. It was a lot lighter in my case since it was a teenage thing, but for your friend? Damn that's like a commitment that was suddenly clogged imo.

Standard marketing strategy. It isn't just these meme coins that use this, most marketing agencies pretty much follow the same format and while some do hold true, the majority of them are just words use to create buzz. Comparison is the biggest and easiest method to create an image of a new product.

About memecoins, that's just how they go. It's a risky investment that would probably flub in most instanced, wouldn't even call it an investment really. It's closer to a gamble, especially since you're betting not on the coin, but on how well it can be marketed (including artificial manipulation)

I mean, if he doesn't want it, he can give it to me. Kidding aside, the father has his morals set in stone I guess. I believe it's dumb, yes, but well, the man's living to what he believes, so I don't think talking about right or wrong here would do much, that's what he believes is right anyway. Talking about how he taught his kids is another thing though seeing as he hates gambling yet his kid went and did just that.

Maybe the father can simply decide to donate it or something, don't return it to the bloody casino, that's just dumb. Man's got principles with gambling, I reckon he also realizes he can do those stuff with the money. Kinda sad how I realize that there's no way in hell the kid can keep it for himself though and maybe reserve for his college life or something.

Err depends on what kind of rewards we can actually get. If there's no limit, then coins, preferably Bitcoin or some other famous altcoins. We can get the tokens developed and released by the casinos we're going to review for but ehh, I'd much rather get some sort of free spins or something of the sort instead of those, coins from new casinos are a sort of "investment" in reality and as a gambler, I don't really think I'd appreciate that. I'd honestly put a cash reward, whether in Bitcoin or a flat amount of fiat in the casino account as the top option, the next would be probably some bonus perks if you're going to do reviews rarely, like permanent ones, or if you're doing this regularly, then yea bonus free spins would probably be the only option by then.

Care to cite your source? Tried looking up with the related keywords but all that came up were arrests that did NOT happen due to sponsors. Yes, gambling is illegal in some countries but I reckon some form of advertisement limited to telling people about the casino's name, and not gambling directly shouldn't be grounds for arrest.

It is indeed a game, a game that directly involves money, which causes a LOT of, well imo, non-existent problems really but for the others, major problems, maybe more on the ethical side of things.

Orrr just doesn't invest in meme coins in general if you want to be a smart investor. I don't know exactly how much chances there are of finding a gold mine in memecoins, but I reckon investment and time would probably go up by much to the point where the effort spent wouldn't have been enough. It might've been possible for a lucky break to happen but eh, might as well have gone to the casino in that case. If it were a side investment of sorts just because, well, you had free available money then I reckon as an investor it should be fine. I mean it isn't your major investment after all, I hope.

I reckon it wasn't even noticed because it was blatantly in the open. Maybe if it was part of a safe of important documents then the thief might've just stolen it along with the rest of the stuff inside as an add on.

It was funny when I first listened to it though. Probably not to people who don't know what the hell he was talking about.

To be fair, I'd categorize crypto thieves as the one doing the stealing online instead. Kinda like that kid who spent money on women which lead him to being arrested.

Isn't it just skill in general? Plus a bit (or a lot) of luck. I mean I don't expect everyone to suddenly have a eureka moment that banks were shit when they first read Bitcoins whitepaper (or anything related to it) nor do I expect them to know about it already/immediately. Even if you actually did know or understand it now, and would've also done the same in the past, matter of fact is you weren't part of the community then, so luck is involved in terms of early involvement.

As for success in terms of shorting, that's a skill. Its just dumb to put it all on "talent" or "genetics". Basically killed all the effort a person did. I'd say there's some level of a headstart based on your DNA though, but the entire result is the reliant on it.

None. Never really done referrals before, and most of my friends that are non-gamblers aren't interested in gambling. Those that do though, are already doing it so nothing to refer to at all. Back in the days then yea maybe, I invited a few of my friends in the past to gamble (I was one of the early starters of gambling in our circle) and that pretty much brought about what we have right now with my circle.

And to the topic of gamblers and investors, I actually would do the opposite, gamblers can be quite, well, gamblers. Regardless of how they know about risks and whatnot, it's a lot easier to handle it when it's games (which is what we consider gambling is) but if we go towards investments and whatnot? Kind of a different story imo.

I don't think being convinced by others is what you want, in the first place I think you already have some level of interest since you're asking others to persuade you so I reckon you need to convince yourself instead and probably realize that you're already getting swayed.

I'd recommend reading up on what Bitcoin is via the whitepaper though if you want some materials, gives you it's core for what it actually is without personal bias. After that you can probably read up on articles to remove confusions if you have any (or even better, ask around)

Nope, cause I use adblocker . I don't think I've ever had them on my phone though. Granted that I've never really accessed casinos in my phone.

Afaik though ads should be a representative of the stuff you watch in YouTube itself, I mostly watch gacha videos way back when I wasn't using adblocker, so most of my ads were about those. If you regularly use adblocker though and would sometimes not use them e.g. on a different pc, then afaik it should be general ads catered to your country.

It's sad, yes, but at the same time dumb as well. Why not blame internet providers for giving access to gambling websites now. Addicts gotta stop victimizing themselves if the underlying cause is themselves and not external parties. I mean said gambler would've probably still done the same thing regardless of what casino down the line.

And I highly doubt casinos would put a limit, even if requested by a user (unless it's a feature of the casino, which is highly unlikely to happen, but will probably be welcomed by addicts). Their a business after all, primary goal is to make profit. Money from your average joe vs money from a gambling addicts are both money anyway.

I'd say no, not really. While it is a good thing imo, it isn't exactly something they necessarily have to do.

In the case of thresholds, instead of a survey casinos might as well implement a system where they can only spend x amount per month, and we all know that's not gonna happen. And if users were to only answer what they can spend in a survey but not follow it, might as well not do it in the first place imo.

As for the VPN thing, well, a warning at the start may be better instead? And then a 3 coin (life) warning system, if it goes past that then it can be considered intentional (or if they keep vpn open for their entire session)

Buy. I had a really bad experience with sell (shorts) in the past when I was new. It was basically something I did daily, I couldn't even break even most days due to how bad I was at doing it. A few months later I stopped completely and only after like a year did I start going for buy (long) instead. While it is slow, it does generate some profit at the very least from the time I started to this date. If I were better at shorting then yea, there's probably more profit there, but I'd say it's a lot more stable and better for me to keep at it with long positions instead.

So it's shilling copy trading in the platform in the article. Does copy trading make a profit? Maybe, and that's why asking if it's dream or reality can be kind of confusing since we don't have a clear-cut answer. Even considering outside copy trading, just crypto in general, it's definitely possible imo. I mean I know some people who got off really well when the coin they were invested in popped off, like MATIC in the past. Should you follow them? Well if you're simply here to gamble then yea sure. If you want to last long though, then start setting up plans that you're gonna follow to a T for a long time, since planning for the long term is probably the easiest start a newbie trader can get.
