But the OP argues that there was nothing on the TOS that states that using a VPN is forbidden and after reading the image of the TOS that is being shared here I can say that I do not see anything either, with this in mind then it seems unfair that his account is being closed on the grounds of a rule that is not explicitly stated anywhere and that not only he is denied his winnings but that after so long he still has not gotten his initial deposit back.
If this is the case, it's unfair and a loss for op. He could keep emailing them about that it was not stated in their TOS as his defense because he has the rights over his winnings, but I think the site is hard to contact because they rarely reply to his emails. But for the op, I'm just wondering why would he still choose to play on that site if it is restricted and still have to use VPN. I mean, there's a lot of other gambling sites he can choose tho, but I really hope that his problem will be fixed since it's been a while already. So far this seems to be the consensus, we all know that playing using a VPN in any casino is a bad idea because something like this can happen, but if the rule is not directly stated or even implied then the casino has no rights to deny his winnings or his deposit, personally I think that what it is happening is that the casino knows this and they are buying time trying to find out if the OP did violate some of the points in the TOS so they can void his winnings. The team itself seems very unprofessional in addressing his concerns by delaying a response, usually, when you report something or created a support ticket, supports try to solve an issue within days or even just to address or give an explanation of what happened. This kind of gambling platforms should be avoided. I've been to several casinos and had a few issues on some and most of them reply or even solve a ticket within few days or even just in an hour. With their response, it seems that they don't want to assess the problem of their users, I think it is not just OP who experienced the same problem on the said gambling platform but many of them that deposits and make huge bankrolls are getting problem on accessing their funds. Kind a fishy in my opinion, posting this on social media to spread awareness about this kind of activities will help others to avoid the said gambling platform. If they don't have any license, you can't also report it to the police because you might get arrested as well since playing in a illegal gambling platform is illegal as well. |

Mass adaptation of Bitcoin will happen if we are going to spend our Bitcoin on smaller businesses that accepts Bitcoin as a payment, like online stores, grocery stores, supermarkets, etc... Buying a tesla would just make Elon Musk much richer but a good advertisement as well since he also promotes Bitcoin, but my opinion is that we must help the most needy first to achieve the cashless society that we all want.

I've watched all of the James Bond movies when I was a kid, in a VCD player. I was still not aware of gambling that time so all I notice back then was all of his cool moves, cool cars, and how privilege he is. But now that I'm an adult, I've just rewatch some if it and yes, gambling scene in that movie is pretty amazing but there's still a lot of movies that surpass it. There was a chinese movie that I've watched which is a dice game gambling and the protagonist has the power to move things so he always win in DICE.
Queen's gambit is also popular these days, since it's a new era movies with the new generations. There are also anime that focuses on gambling which is Kakegurui and No Game No Life, you should check it out.

I think this pandemic made a huge difference and indeed changed the economic equations globally. The crisis severely affected many countries especially those who are at recognized as 3rd world countries. A lot of unpleasant events took place because of the virus.
Many people have lost their jobs and a lot of companies, businesses, and establishments were forced to close down because of the negative impact of pandemic. This has been one of the main reasons why the economic condition and state changed all over the world. The lockdowns and continuous rise of covid cases added fuel to the fire. Making it hard for each countries to pull off without opening and resuming the operations for the economy.
In addition, pandemic changed the economic equation because of the safety precautions and protocols given by the authorities. All of us are forced to adapt to the new normal, changing our routines and usual ways of living. Adjustments were made especially to the industries who are making profit and paying taxes to the government.

I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. Physical cash may be a hassle for some of you here, but we must always put in mind the cons of phasing it out especially to the elderlies. I know innovation and technology has been improving and dynamically changing over time making our lives easier and convenient. However, we should also think of the older generations and consider their welfare before jumping to newer and higher technologies.
As you know, the goal of going digital is for the betterment of each one of us. It is indeed easier to make transactions online. You can buy whatever you need in a snap. You can order food and even pay bills online. These features are such a blessing considering that most people have cellphones and internet. But let’s admit that not everyone is as knowledgeable as us. There are still a lot of people who aren’t tech-y and there are still a lot of people who can’t afford such privileges. We don’t want them to be left out just because we strive for a better future, do we?
Innovation and technology can do greater things, but let us not forget the groups that can’t catch up that much to what we have to offer now. We must meet halfway. That’s why I think it’s better to retain physical cash together with digital wallets. Let digital wallets and electronic money be an alternative instead of pushing it to replace the actual money.

I didn’t lose my job because I have no job to begin with. During the early days of pandemic, I was planning to apply for a job. Unfortunately, this crisis made it so hard to land on a decent paying job that isn’t affected that much by the pandemic. Because as we know, majority suffered bankruptcy and were forced to close, rendering a lot of people jobless. Here I am, still surviving even without a job. Maybe this year isn’t really for me.
Covid-19 virus indeed brought so much chaotic chain reaction events in the picture. It was a challenging year for majority of us. I just hope for a better next year. I really do wish for 2021 to be prosperous and full of blessings, exactly opposite of what this year has offered.

Pandemic has its good and bad impact to the cryptocurrency world. This crisis made bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies a safe alternative to invest and put your money on because of deflation. It serves as another space or medium to generate income as well. Hence, the crypto community grown and many people took interest because of the circulating news (good for investment).
On the other hand, it has its negative effect to crypto and traders. Because of pandemic, the source of income generated by average people became limited, limiting also the investments they put into btc. In addition, impulsive buying and selling of tokens were evident because of the panic felt by some users. I believe there’s always a chain reaction for every possible effect on something. The impact of pandemic on cryptocurrency has two sides, balancing the edges.

economy after COVID 19, we hope to recover quickly. because seeing the current economies around the world collapsing and experiencing a decline. this resulted in people experiencing distress. so I thought that maybe a way should be taken to continue accelerating the economic recovery
Through how? printing more money? the lockdowns are the reason why people's lives are in distress. Especially the ones that are from under the poverty line to the under average living people. Their jobs and businesses were mostly postponed due to it. Why the big corporations are able to continue but with a certain limit but at least, they've got something to earn from even with these tight policies during the covid19 crisis. Printing more money will never solve the problem of the economy crisis we have right now because of the pandemic, it might just cause a sudden inflation, maybe. What we need now is the vaccine to solve the fear we all have, with the vaccine being successsful to beat COVID-19, we will experience a fast phase economy growth because there will be no more limit in what we are doing in public and we could return to our normal lives. |

Getting scammed in Bitcoin or even in fiat is normal these days, especially now that we're in the middle of pandemic. I've also been scammed the first time I was trying to have a Bitcoin to test it out if it's really legit. The person that I was trying to buy bitcoin at blocked me after I sent him the payment, I was shocked but luckily it was a small amount of money and my friend guided me to somewhere it's safe to buy Bitcoin.
Just like you, I'm a bitcoin enthusiast since that time. Bitcoin changed my life since then and for its lifetime I believe.

There's a lot of complicated things to consider before engaging yourself in Trading.
1. Trading Knowledge
- This is the first and foremost to avoid money losses. If you're going to learn while trading, then that's risky for your money and mental health, unless you could do multitasking productively.
2. Funds
- You need this to make profits with your knowledge on Trading. This will fuel your wits in Trading to multiply your funds as much as you can in the long run.
3. Mental Health
- Strong mental is a must as well to avoid too much losses whenever you make a bad decision, because you don't need to make bad decision twice just because you got mad after a huge loss.

Ponzi scheme definition What Is a Ponzi Scheme?
A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investing scam promising high rates of return with little risk to investors. The Ponzi scheme generates returns for early investors by acquiring new investors. This is similar to a pyramid scheme in that both are based on using new investors' funds to pay the earlier backers. To be honest Bitcoin aren't created for investment, but it's a currencies without central authority can control it (decentralized). But many people call it as investment since they see the ROI is very good for long term investment. And it doesn't promise 100% you will get profit like ponzi scheme, some people also in loss since they bought high and sell low. I'll elaborate this even more for OP to understand. People who says it's a ponzi will always insist it's a ponzi scheme. Bitcoin don't force anyone to invest on it, nor posting an advertisement that it'll make your money triple in just three days. Bitcoin was made to be decentralized, meaning it would work continuously without any people controlling and developing it, correct me if I'm wrong. Bitcoin's could indeed triple your money but it doesn't have any promise that it'll happen in a fixed amount of time, it's all about trusting while waiting while you hold your own funds and you make the decisions when to sell it to make profits, and that's not what ponzi scheme have. |

The best thing to do is to go somewhere else it is legal to use and have, because if your government is too tight when it comes in Bitcoin, then no matter how careful you are on not getting trace or caught on act using it, you'll still gonna get caught, trust me, unless you're good enough on making yourself untouchable online so the cyber security of the authorities in your country won't be able to trace you.

It's okay to spend your Bitcoin towards the things that you need to buy as long as the price of it is bigger than the transaction fee to save your Bitcoin, because if you'll buy a $1 slice of pizza having a $2-$3 transaction fee, then your Bitcoin will vanish in no time. However, this is a good news and we're hoping that we're going to achieve the cashless society soon while we are marching to the future technology that's greater than what we have right now.

This question has nothing to go in my opinion, because you'll never know when you're going to die, so you never give to anyone your private keys and how to earn profits in cryptocurrency. Death could be either instant or a suffering one, so even if they bother asking your private keys when your in a hospital bed, if you can't speak up then your Bitcoin will remain forever in your wallet.
That's the harsh reality in this world. We cannot bring anything that our hard-work bears in heaven.

Bitcoin will still have price fluctuations in the future since it is Bitcoin, and I just want to clarify that it's not risky to use a payment. Maybe what you were saying is that the profits you could have in the long run if you are not going to spend it in a bullish market, therefore it's risky. But still, it's a choice if you'll spend it or not.
For me, the only problem I do have why I don't use Bitcoin as a payment is that the transaction fee, I think I can't afford to lose additional money on transaction fee if there is still fiat as an option.

When the time comes that there will be no fiat anymore, people will have no choice but to adapt cryptocurrency so there is no one that's gonna left behind. Maybe we're still going to think about how pricey is the fee in every transaction we're going to process every single day, bulk buying will be a trend I guess to save Bitcoin. Also, you don't have to worry about the world getting bankrupt or something if Bitcoin supply is going to be zero.
I'm sure in the near future, Bitcoin will be replaced by another legendary coin that's gonna be made by someone as great as Satoshi Nakamoto.

Now that there is already a vaccine , could it be the end of covid- 19 virus?
Maybe? Maybe not? because not all of the countries have the power to avail the vaccine in the market, those third world countries. That's why COVID-19 will not end quickly as what you're thinking, without all of us getting vaccinated by the successfully made vaccine, COVID-19 will still roam around us. Slowly, we're looking forward to our victory of surviving this pandemic after a year already, thankfully the vaccine didn't take that long to be make by our dear scientist and frontliners. |

Well this is what the government does. They usually take the scammers money or any asset and then they just sell it or put up a auction for the same. As it turns out it's generally converted into their fiat and then used for either the country or maybe sometimes goes in the pocket of the people who are unfortunately corrupt.
But as we know the price of Bitcoins is climbing as fast as it can and it's really good for the market and therefore I do believe that the government failed to dominate in this section.
Plus I don't think they are going to tell the exact time , date when they sold those coins , this is for sure some information that someone accidentally leaked so consider them sold way way before.
It was what you called money laundering in a very low key way. I wonder why the Government released it after a year already considering that Bitcoin transaction is irreversible and I'm sure that the fiat was already spent in something else during that period of time. Chinese Government is just full of dark secrets that its people doesn't even know about, you could tell it in their eyes though (not being racist) Chinese Government always want the top place in the world society, they never want to feel unimportant that's why they are creating problems and gives solution to them to make them feel superior amongst other countries especially those 3'rd world countries making them indebted to them. |

1. In this day and age you don't need the universities to teach you something, the information is all out there and can easily be acquired.
I agree. YouTube University is always present in lending a hand to whoever needs help on anything, I mean anything. 2. Absolutely not. If you want to introduce a new technology and this new decentralized "currency" to people the "traders" are the last people you should look at. They neither understand nor care about bitcoin at all. All they care about is fiat and how much more of if they can gain.
Other experts such as Andreas Antonopoulos who are actually knowledgeable have been educating people for years now.
Correct. Asking people first if they are interested or not is a must to avoid wasting time explaining about Bitcoin and Bitcoin enthusiast isn't not obligated to conduct seminars or event (unless it has a talent fee) and depends on the survey if many will come or not. 3. Youtube is already filled with garbage bitcoin related content, most of which discussing the price and some its technical aspects in a pretty terrible way. What you should have said is we need better content like what Andreas Antonopoulos has on Youtube.
I couldn't agree more. Most of the YouTube videos I see that's Bitcoin related are just investment scams, faucets, and referrals. Other YouTubers promote trading platforms even if they don't know how to use it, how ironic. I also want to say that Bitcoin related videos only have small views compare to non-bitcoin related videos. |

Actually, I think this is the best time to spread the gospel.
Community quarantine is still happening in different parts of the world.
They cannot make their transactions outside and they will rely on the internet.
It would be best to first target the services.
Once they have the option to pay in bitcoin then maybe, even just for a little chance the people will use that option.
But think about it, if there is no option to pay thru bitcoin then what use can it be?
You say just an investment. But it was not made for that.
If they lose money they will just withdraw it which makes it look like a bank. Why not just pick bank instead? It will be easier.
You have to give them a better reason for bitcoin to be kept.
There is a lot of good things about bitcoin that normal people don't know, because they judge it too soon. Whenever I introduced bitcoin to someone if they asked what's my source of income is, they will just say "Oh, I thought it was something else" and then end of conversation. Bitcoin sounds too complicated for them and too good to be true, unless you show them the results. In my opinion, based on my experienced, 1 out of 10 people only turned to Bitcoin world after I introduced Bitcoin to them. |
