bitcoin is fairly legal from where I am at, as I can freely use it without any repercussions. Although cryptocurrency activities are being sought by the government of ours as possible ventures to collect tax from which is going to be very annoying for those who rely heavily on investing and trading like me. Nonetheless I still see this as our government finally seeing cryptocurrencies for what it's worth and are doing efforts to integrate it into the system of society in one way or another. Well if it's to be made illegal in your country I don't really see you being able to use it altogether. You have to remember that there has to be some sort of consensus between the government and the operator before you are able to use these types of services, and have one end of the rope disagree with the other, consensus is not achieved. So it is actually a big deal for whether bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency for that matter is legal or not in your territory. Because decentralized as it is, you aren't and you could be subject to sanctions for using bitcoin without prior permission.

A few days ago bitcoin finally broke the $40k barrier and had reached a high of around 55k last time I checked. This could be a sign that the coin is already bouncing back and is readying itself for a possible return at 60k or maybe a pricepoint that is even higher than that. Time will only tell really. Although judging the graphs and the previous trend bitcoin made in the past few years it could be very possible that we are to hit 60k once again, if not achieve a new all-time high which could go as high as 100k by the minimum. So it's definitely a wise choice to buy bitcoin as early as now. Agree with you on the fact that the Q4 of every year offers bitcoin a lot of opportunities it could maximize and use in order to reach new heights. The biggest all-time-highs it has received all happened at years' close, and this year shows a lot of signs of bitcoin becoming bullish so there's a huge possibility of $65k touchdown by the year end, or a new all-time-high which will persist until Q1 of 2022 when the hype and people being to stabilize and wear off. This has been the trend of bitcoin for the past couple of years it has been in the market and I doubt this year's gonna be an exception.

That's basically creating your own coin which you can do provided that you have prior knowledge in programming languages. You could pretty much copy and paste everything and it would be yours. The thing about this though is that even if you copy bitcoin along with its framework and system, the people are still to decide whether your bitcoin bootleg is worth their time and money. Which in the case of bitcoin classic, is indeed worth everyone's time. If they see through your bullshit they may decide to shrug your coin and leave it hanging, leaving you as well not hanging this time but with an effort wasted. basically copy it along with the concept and the mechanisms behind the coin but at the end of the day it wouldn't be Bitcoin. So people will still be able to perceive the difference between the new coin you just created and bitcoin itself. And just like what I have said above, it will be up to the people whether they deem your coin valuable or not. If they do not see fit to invest on your coin, then the coin you just create will have no value and would just be another bitcoin bootleg that died along the way as casualties of war.

They need to coexist right now when the world is heavily dependent on the existence of fiat. It has so much power over everything that to completely strip it away would cause massive societal collapse and utter chaos. They say good things come to those who wait, and that's basically the virtue that cryptocurrencies are letting us know. The road ahead isn't going to get any longer and wider so why don't we make the most out of our steps to ensure that we are on the right way? It's all there is to it really. Sure things might get tedious at times but there's so much potential in this venture you can't just drop it off and leave without regrets. I still think cryptocurrencies could in the future supersede fiat but just not in a drastic and flamboyant manner. The process will be gradual and people will slowly gravitate towards much convenient options than fiat. People naturally are attracted to progress and technology and seeing that cryptocurrencies are quite the piece of tech themselves, people will inevitably choose it over fiat over the course of time. What happens with USD is still up for debate but with the ever rapidly surmounting value decrease caused by inflation, we might not see dollars in the future the way we see them right now.

That could be the case, considering most of the people nowadays are still in favor of fiat over cryptocurrencies. Which at the end of the day is the very same reason I don't believe crypto could ever cause a financial collapse. The adoptions are as slow as they go and no drastic measures aside from the El Salvador bitcoin adoption have been ever made that could cause discord amongst cryptocurrency fanatics and fiat users
Every crisis is preceded by an unfortunate event that lead the people to desperation. In this case it is the rising debt of the world against the dwindling intrinsic value of the US dollar. Should a massive adoption happen in the near future, we need to strap ourselves for a bumpy ride because price decline and financial crisis for the people who are into fiat is going to happen.

Aforementioned techniques you included on your posts are already tactics and schemes that scammers do in order to one-up on people. The bottom line here is that if you don't wanna get scammed, you have to be more skeptical of the stuff you click on the internet. This goes for everything because scammers and hackers will do whatever they can in their power to scam you, there's just no way around it. Just sad that so many people are getting scammed in this industry it almost seems like a rite of passage sometimes. Where there is thriving flora, weeds will grow. That's the way of life and sadly that is what could perfectly describe how scammers operate. They would focus on a booming venture which in this case is NFT, and learn the craft so well they could bullshit their way out of anything. At the end of the day your conscience will be your own enemy, if you are not a psychopath or someone with a crooked moral compass. At the end of the day the best tip we could give newbies to not get scammed is to just think critically all the time.

If you are farming for stablecoins I would suggest DAI and USDN but in reality there is little to no money to be made in the stablecoin industry because of its very low volatility rate. That's just everything there is to it. You can't expect a bonsai plant to grow big-ass branches by the time it reaches adulthood so unless you're farming or staking stablecoins, you wouldn't get much from it. Low risk low reward per se. So you're better off investing on other cryptocurrencies on the market with higher growth potential and at the end of the day cheaper and much more profitable ventures than getting yourself stuck on stablecoins. Tether is a bit speculative now although I personally use it for everything that I need stablecoins for. It's just something that I wouldn't put my money on for a long time because of the fact that  it's speculative asset, that's just it. At the end of the day to each his own and I found success putting my money on DAI and USDN so I may have some bias over the two aforementioned cryptocurrencies. USDT for me is good for quick transactions and not really something that is good to keep the value of your wealth in check. To each his own altogether

There's a huge possibility bitcoin and most coins on the top of the ladder get to achieve an all-time high later this year, if not the early months of 2022. The fact that bitcoin is standing strong trying to break the price resistance at the moment, while most coins on the market kept their price at a relatively stable rate gets me to think that this is a big pullback for a pump that is to happen. December had always been a very prosperous month for cryptocurrencies since it is the month where most of the price breakouts happen so we could expect some price increase if not all-time-highs this year. Bitcoin is too stable from where its at right now that there's no chance it could dry up and fall from the ladder. At this point it seems to me that bitcoin is a must-have investment for all people who are getting to the cryptocurrency venture. Although some cryptocurrencies on the market like ETH and Solana also provide some potential for growth. It's just that established coins in the market really takes the cake because you can never go wrong with these assets.

From the get-go pandemic had put some serious damage on bitcoin and cryptocurrency values, but then people saw opportunities for earning in this industry in a world that is basically barren of physical job opportunities and that allowed cryptocurrencies to bounce back and even reach new marketcaps. This goes to show that with the right vision and people, a bad circumstance could be turned around for the better. So for me the answer really depends on whether the people are pessimistic about the pandemic or not. Not gonna lie I lost a lot of stuff during the COVID-19 pandemic. All respects to OP's struggles and mishaps but in a world that will do everything it could to bring you down, you really would have no choice but to get up and get moving, otherwise you'll be left to rot. Some of us could never give up because there's either someone who relies on them for strength and support, or basically because they just can't. It's OP's choice if he wants to quit but being in the cryptocurrency industry himself, I would suggest for him to not give up.

A coin as versatile as BNB is of course a must-have for every investor who can afford it. There's just no question about it. The coin will not dry up since at the end of the day there is a diminish mechanic in the supply that preserves it value periodically, but at the same time this could also call for a pump when the coin is already at a very great spot. And backed by the biggest cryptocurrency exchange to date, BNB is definitely something that you should hold on to if you have bought it already because the growth potential for this coin is very high. As of yet BNB has stayed stable around its price point but there is huge potential of a pump later by the year end. This all means that we altogether should at least hodl a few BNBs on our wallet to be able to enjoy rewards later down the line. And even if the price stayed along the resistance level, there is still huge potential for it in the future considering the fact that the development for this coin is continuous and operational as long as binance itself is functioning correctly and well. No question really, BNB is a no-brainer investment venture.

Thing is, this is both a good and a bad move on El Salvador's part. it's good that they tried to push people into using a much superior form of currency against the ones they came to know with, but the transition process is almost non-existent. People are complaining, not to mention the fact that no prior education amongst the citizens of El Salvador was given which causes a lot of confusion and distraught on their part. You can't really blame the nay-sayers when you are faced all of a sudden with a novel concept that is shoved down your throat like spicy sausage. Whether he said this because he's salty about ETH not being on the El Salvadorian wallets, you can't deny that his statement made sense in a way. Although this is something we envision for a future, a decentralized coin being regulated by a central government seemed so funny and absurd in paper but that is basically what's happening with El Salvador right now. Not to mention the drastic transition that left all the people who are not that tech savvy to be left in the dirt.

As of the moment bitcoin could be interchangeable used as a currency and as a store of value, although we would have to admit, it's seeing more utilization in the sector of investment compared to finance and currencies because of the high volatility rate that makes it a substandard currency and a very potent investment venture. In the years to come there should be some paradigm shift as we enter a new age where everything is ought to be digitized, people will see more opportunities in using bitcoin as a currency. Not to mention the ginormous transaction fees that you have to pay just to transfer a few bitcoins to other people. Yes it's great that boundless transaction is made but then again who would pay 1000 dollars for a 1000 dollar money transfer right? This is why people hated using bitcoin in transactions especially when there is a bull run because the volume of transactions just overloads the system, therefore causing it to charge higher fees and slower transaction timeframes.

China, will have little, to no effect on the price of bitcoin right now. It has been established right from the get-go that they aren't in with cryptocurrency and had taken measures to ensure that no Chinese mainland citizens are going to use and buy bitcoin within their border. AFAIK they have already wiped a huge majority of miners and users as early as 2019, so there's little effects on bitcoin's price if there is any. As a matter of fact, I think of it as a win-win since most graphic cards are hoarded for their use in mining, and thus with China being out of the equation it will be easier and cheaper to acquire graphics cards in the future. I would also agree with you, it has been like that since bitcoin boomed last 2018, and they have taken drastic measures to put bitcoin in a negative light. That being said people are already growing weary of their antics and bullcrap so they would prolly just shrug any news about cryptocurrencies coming from China since it will almost always going to be negative anyway. No point in keeping tabs on someone or in this case, something that doesn't serve your greater purpose well.

Bitcoin being decentralized makes it very hard to impose regulations and taxations against it. Which is why I think it is a bold move for someone over the government to attempt such activity. Although in retrospect, if it were to be effective and if they were to be successful in imposing regulations at least within the US borders, it may cause bitcoin's usage and accessibility to drop or dwindle which is generally not good for the coin as it always aims to reach more people as much as possible. They will attempt, how they would do so will greatly affect the future. Predictions like these aren't inherently bad as it allows us to think ahead of time and propose contingency plans as a community should something like this happen, which will of course affect bitcoin's price either for the good or for the bad. It's given that they will impose stricter rules especially the Democrats who I feel are more on the conservative side of the things compared to the Republicans.

I'm not so sure if these thieves could be considered smart of the biggest dumbasses of the century. Knowing what type of bitcoin ATM this machine is will help determine which is which. If these machines are the ones that do not issue fiat and do not convert bitcoin to fiat then they just wasted their time setting up a scheme for naught. If it's the one that dispenses money then they still could have the opportunity. Still, I think they have some ulterior motives besides cash in stealing this machine. Perhaps they are trynna hack into the system with the ATM as their payload?
That settles it I guess. See, these thieves wouldn't dare touch the machine if this ATM only dispenses bitcoin, unless they are trying to learn the machinations behind this technology, I doubt they'd attempt to steal this. But since it dispenses cash, the thieves are after the fiat that is inside and so the trouble began. Hopefully they are caught and the money be put back into circulation or at least recycled so nothing is virtually wasted.

Bluffing always works for me. Just makes your opponents confused therefore laying them right into your trap. I also find that playing less hands and playing them aggressively wins me more games. Perhaps it's because of the fact that the wins remain the same but losses are in a way mitigated when I incorporate these tactics. Played both of these tactics in online and real-life casino setting so I can at least vouch for myself that these techniques work when you don't overuse them. Basically be a jack of all trades instead of a master at one because people will get used to your antics and may develop a strategy that could counter yours. Can't emphasize how powerful this tip has been for me, as predictability basically decides whether you win or lose a game of poker. So take advantage of all the techniques that will make you less predictable from your opponent's perspective and never overuse or focus on one tactic. People are quick to catch up especially when they're losing.

I would agree. There's no real need to go balls-deep into advertising if you're already an established entity in the market you're working on, and with Gambling Industry becoming more and more like a monopoly, the competition will be tough for those who are at the bottom of the ladder while the ones at the top could rest easy. So we can safely assume that whatever gambling firm does this tactic, they're prolly new to the scene and are trying to make a name for themselves by going all-in with the advertisements courtesy of the streamer they are sponsoring. Then again, you have to understand that there's no real drawback against the people who are playing in the site, so what if these people are being paid thru the bets and they make it so they earn it through the games. The players and patrons aren't really disadvantaged in any way possible because at the end of the day, gambling should be taken for what it is, a game that you can lose. If you gamble, you expect to enjoy and have fun, not to win big because if you do the latter, you'll be disappointed big time.

Most people here claim to play this and that includes me. It's just that there's no real interaction to be made here because the game is as straightforward as it can be. Given the fact that it's another luck-based game there's not much strategy you can share against people who play the game so discussion isn't really the strongest suit this game will offer you. Sic Bo is one of those games that doesn't need the voice out since it's like a weed beside the road, it'll get by without the whole notice of the community. Almost all games on gambling sites came from the streets or the real world. I am yet to discover a game that is not in any way related to any pre-existing games outside the real world but that's okay. I guess it drives people away when you have to learn something first in order to even play it decently, more so if you're planning to create a game of chance anyway where the mechanics and the rules would play little to no effect on the outcome of each session.

Metaverse is gaining more and more traction over the cryptocurrency industry by the day. Who can say that in few years they'd absolutely dominate the scene much like how Decentralized Finance did and now NFTs? Considering how Metaverse is much more promising and would have a wider range of applications not only in the cryptocurrency sector but as well as the real world side of things? There's just so many opportunities over this simple feature that you can explore not only in the gambling scene but many others. Metaverse is still in its infancy stage. Not many people see it for what its worth because of the fact that NFT games have basically become the staple partner and equivalence when someone says Metaverse. This will hopefully change soon as more and more people are informed as to what it really is. Nevertheless there is a lot of opportunities to be found not only in the cryptocurrency and gambling side of the spectrum when it comes to the Metaverse. it's literally a boundless world of possibilities that you otherwise you wouldn't be able to achieve with other booming crypto crazes, both past and present.

To throw such severe allegations to Bitvest which is one of the biggest gambling firms in this forum needs some form of proof for us to believe you. You can't just say it's scam just because you found that the hotwallet is oftentimes unfilled which as far as I know is the same for most of the gambling sites I have played on. Also, since this thread is becoming big already I believe Bitvest should release a statement as well clearing out any form of allegations against them so people's trust over them wouldn't be jeopardized.  Agree with you. Could just be someone attempting to put Bitvest in the spotlight and throw dirt on its name. I would also agree with your suggestion of having OP contact Bitvest him/herself to clear out the scam accusations but there are also newbies here who as a result of this might avoid Bitvest altogether and that would put them in serious issues, at least for me since newcomers are just as important as your patrons. I believe a statement is needed to be made in order to clear out these allegations once and for all considering this thread is already becoming more and more noticeable.
