That that's just how the way it goes...? I've recommended crypto to a few family and friends before and I've already dumbed it down to them multiple times, that the market doesn't always go the way you want it to be, and if it crashes so be it, that's just part of the cycle. There may be some news that affects it temporarily in the short term, but they can easily know about it with a bit of reading on news sites imo. More than that after that initial talk, I told them I won't bring crypto market discussions that much (ever even if possible) to the table since I myself am not really skilled in reading it nor do I actively study it (since I just DCA).

The Curacao license is afaik the easiest license an online gambling casino can get, which means scammy casinos can also get their hands on it rather easily. Not to say that it doesn't have its own rep, it at the very least gives a bit more (like seriously, a little bit) in terms of reputation compared to non-licensed ones. I've played in some of them, but I played because of the rep of the casino itself, and not the rep that the license brought to it, so I suggest you do the same if you were looking out for Curacao-licensed casinos.

Not that I know much about other types of licenses though. I've mostly only seen (or searched) about Curacao after all.

I reckon any dumps would only temporarily send the market into a change, especially if it has stabilized into the long term (enough to the point where people who accept it can reliably use it as currency without a huge fear of its volatility), and as time passes by, said changes would gradually have its impacts lessen as well imo. As for the proposed change, as others have said, there's really no negative connotation to apply it, heck it may only apply more negatives than the positives (if any) it could bring. I reckon it may kill the value and idea (which is freedom) of Bitcoin itself as well.

It's a problem, but it's also a problem that can be solved with time, so I don't think it's actually a problem we need to worry about at all.

The FTX issue didn't really kill CEX as a marketplace, it instead killed the idea that exchanges are supposed to be used as wallets, if I were to make it easier, it's like a small part of its entire existence was finally brought to light and was finally realized to be dangerous. It might actually just make other exchanges grow really, and more laws and regulations be placed so as to avoid the same issue from repeating itself. DEX would stay as well imo, there are some people who still like using it and with a market, the business would naturally stay as well.

I doubt anyone would say no, more so if the said offer came from a reputable casino (or even the individual who set up the bet really).

As for how much, if we were talking about funds I solely use for gambling, I can pretty much bet everything in it. Solely my betting funds though, I allocate to it monthly if I ever want to play. It's a one-time chance, after all. I can still use my money to play other stuff later on if I wanted/needed to, just that it'd be on a different month.

Not really a fan of big bets, so I'd probably go slow, and across various games, I like such as Blackjack, poker, crash, and maybe some roulettes here and there every now and then. It'd probably take months for me to do so unless I go crazy and did a really big bet when I'm feeling lucky. If possible, then sports betting is also an option as well, but then again I'd only ever bet on big tournaments of Apex lately, which is still in June (I only watch the championships most of the time). 

On one hand, though, I'm more likely to make it 0 than even double it based on my experience.

Emergency I guess? I'm still looking at Bitcoin as an investment so in general, I'd probably pull it out in the next bull run or after. I haven't exactly taken into consideration when I should start holding it for the sake of making my own bank or as a currency though(As I've said, I'm more invested in it as an investment right now), which would probably lead to a situation where I'm not going to be forced to sell unless used as a payment.

What I would not consider when selling is the price though, specifically if it goes down, since it may be an investment, but it's one where I'm capable of waiting for a long time (and I can afford to live without it as well).

KYC is and was not made due to online casinos (or anything online-specific really). It's always been a thing, always been used and asked in physical stores, much more specifically when it comes to casinos though since they are avenues for money laundering schemes. I mean just look at banks, it didn't take any online for it to ask users for KYC, mostly because it's done for security purposes.

Regulations came and became updated because of crimes, and not because of casinos, or KYC. Casinos only comply simply because they need to otherwise they're not getting any work done. It's all part of development imo, I mean, I don't think KYC exists back then but due to crimes about it being known and announced more and more, well, laws about it were then made.

As most people who delve into systems would say, there's no system that is perfectly protected. There is and will be a way for one to be accessed, but most casinos that are known here in the forum have no known issues with that afaik, so I don't think you need to mind it that much.

Another thing to note is as others have said, VPN is banned from most casinos since they don't allow users from other specific countries. There has been a lot of examples where users mistakenly accuse the casino of scamming them, but it turns out they're accessing the casino from a banned country (Check a few in Scam Accusations). Premium or not, they will find see a way to notice your using VPN, not to mention it can't exactly help you if the casino asks for KYC (which most do nowadays).

The top coins are only meant as a basis for where you should start your research on altcoins imo. It was never a guaranteed option until you've furthered your study in their markets. A lot of altcoins out there are sht, it wouldn't be exaggerated to say 99% of them are, but there are some good ones that pop out every now and then (although some just fall off and never be heard of from again), but nevertheless, they're good investments in that certain period of time.

It also helps to be up to date to what's happening so that you can exit when needed, I mean just look at what happened to Luna.

It's definitely a unique idea, but as you've said, I think it's better for AIs to develop itself, to the point where their predictions aren't only a collation of data and identifying the better option out of the two (which kind of paints it as a yes/no question, isn't exactly wrong but I reckon there's still something more possible out of it), but also some bias that comes from say, it's development throughout its creation (I mean it has to have some if we're going to talk about AI right?).

I'd say it's an option to take as a basis, but still wouldn't be a guarantee since there are a lot of random factors involved in a match. If it was that straightforward then simulations would've probably dominated betting scenes. They might actually just be useful to rate the players instead of the match itself really, and make a prediction by yourself through that instead.

I don't think Bitcoin will ever be a "sub" to any CBDC to be made out there imo. Bitcoin is and will always stay as it was, regardless of what laws are made or what other so-called "competitors" are made by centralized organizations. If there was, you'd have seen it already with just their fiat, cause let's be real, CBDC is really just the digital form of their fiat, nothing much has changed from that. Heck, I reckon most people would be more inclined to use Bitcoin instead of any CBDC (if only the two were compared) just because of the market and possible profits of hodling it in the long term.

Sportsbet if you want a general option. Stake also has it I think? I reckon most famous sportsbooks have eSports on their categories anw, so you can check whichever one you usually choose (and if none, go to sportsbet).

As for why eSports, well, it's mostly a subjective bias since I've grown up playing those games. I reckon people who've grown up playing sports like say, basketball or football (or at least grew up watching those) would also answer the same. Defining it as "worth it" is kind of hard really, it's just like any average sport out there, just that it's, well, on a video game platform. Not to say there's no skill no, games accepted as eSports titles are ones that heavily require on skill, both mechanically and strategically.

Probably more sources of income? Or an increase in salary. I have some space with my salary after deducting everything that I need to spend for the rest of the month, a small bit for my enjoyment, and the rest goes to my portfolio, but even then it's a tad bit paltry compared to what I want.

Tbf, even with the idea that Bitcoin existed back then, I doubt most people would've actually taken it as an investment, mainly because most people don't have any idea what it is. And for those who actually do, they've already decided to take one of the two stances, to support it or to ignore it. Lack of information is indeed a factor but also knowing what said information is, is also needed. It's rather easy to say that you'd invest in Bitcoin back then since it's already happened, but realistically speaking, I doubt most would be able to when faced with the same question a decade back.

To answer the title, yes, I've heard of bitsler, I reckon most of us here have. To answer the other question, no, I'd only ever consider a "fortune through betting" to be something life-changing, anything less than that is just a pretty standard experience, probably enough to break even from all the bets you've made in your entire gambling experience.

"Losing everything" may be something rare or something to be pitied, but when it comes to gambling it's actually somewhat of a normal occurrence, though may vary depending on what "everything" means but in this case it's mostly on your bankrolls per session anw.

I've probably said this before, but chasing bonuses for the sake of using them isn't actually worth it imo, taking advantage of them while getting them due to playing is. Actively trying to get them if there's only a bit left also counts as worth it imo. You can take them into account when planning your budget for a session, but that should be the limit, only "taking it into account", and not "setting it as the goal". Most bonuses don't even give you guaranteed profits anyway, just more chances instead.

Altcoins in a nutshell. Crypto is the perfect place for scammers since a lot of people can be considered new since the crypto scene is still pretty young. Not to mention that crypto is well known outside to be accessible even by younger people, unlike with say, stocks, lands, etc., which seem too complicated and can be considered as the playground of adults instead of young people.

Well, your best bet, if you want to enter the altcoin market, is to have a bunch of experience under your belt, and a lot of time to scrutinize a project. Otherwise, I'd just DCA Bitcoin really. It wouldn't bring as big of a profit as you can get in altcoins, but it's less risky compared to it, and no need to handle it since it's a plan to hold for the long term as well.

And that's pretty much how scammers take money off of others. They're rather vulnerable and are ignorant of how the internet can answer most questions if you look up properly, and can pretty easily let you off from being scamed.

It actually depends even if the review was precise, I'd rather look for proof or guarantees that said complaints were actually understandable. Negative reviews that hate on a casino due to say, UI, slow website, and other tech-ish stuff like that, I usually ignore (but I still don't look at them preferably) and do not really consider it as a scam site. I'd only ever consider a review as "negative" if the casino was a legit scam, otherwise, I'd see it as a simple review.

Cause "cool" is subjective. It's more like casino games are always repetitive instead, lacking that breath of fresh air that can stimulate someone, though in that case most would actually look for other games, not specifically gambling games. Game devs, from indies to big ones release new games, both competitive and non-competitive ones all around the year so if you're looking for "games" to play, then that's what you should be looking for imo.

On OP's idea though, there was a game called "Your Only Move Is HUSTLE", it was interesting to me since it wasn't you technically controlling the character in real-time, but more like a simulation. If say an AI can randomly simulate it, then it may introduce some sort of randomness (AI has some sort of unique perk that differentiates it from other AI's, so they're unique in their own way). Might be a fun thing to gamble with.

Hey, we all have these brainfart moments sometimes, I myself in a few occasions back when I was still a high school student. Nowadays I look back and think that's just part of what made that life of mine pretty enjoyable ig. The important thing was he had fun, hopefully though said clothes weren't exactly important enough to be needed to be bought immediately.

I'd actually consider learning about gambling at a young age an advantage, the most you have on your own is pretty small after all so losses, in the bigger sense, is also pretty low. It does need supervision though, but if that's checked, I reckon learning gambling at young wouldn't be so bad (I learned in around HS after all).
