Bitcoin Casino Series II

[thebtcdoctor]

Unsure if everyone knows, but would like to know what everyone thinks of this?

Mrcryptohodl released a new series. I just realized I was somewhat promoting it by adding the link so I got rid of that.

[T-Chad]

Won't lie I'm picking up some unfunded pieces of the new series twos

[iHODLwell]

Absolutely! 💯

wouldnt trust him to provide anything funded. unless you immediately verify it upon receipt.

still sitting on over 30 pieces that should be funded but are not (not my pieces). He refuses to answer and has blocked me on every platform.

[Rymaster]

I bought a few, I enjoy his work. Certainly seems like he isn’t doing anymore funded pieces moving forwards.


I will admit though, I have bought other pieces from him over the past few months and things didn’t always go as planned with shipping but he has done right by me to correct any issues, it just took some time.

I was scammed from mrcryptohodl, I would never buy another one of his items. Once a maker tarnishes his name such as mrcryptohodl has done, I personally do believe collectables turn into more of a novelty and end up being worthless.

as far as his “funded items”… are they funded from him? Do you trust him with your money knowing others have been ripped off? He left the form with a lot of unresolved issues and now exclusively sales only places that people can’t call him out…

 If you do load the item, Would you know for sure the btc will be on it? I believe the only way to tell would be to  peel and redeem… this guy is very disorganized, you think he has organization in his process and your getting the right addy to send money to or possibly you just funded his own wallet or anothercollectors coin…he’s scammed others here also not just myself…. I opted to sell everything I ever bought from him opposed to finding out he has a bigger scam going on…

More will be revealed with time but his stuff has been found on alibaba in the past…

Also I’ve been in Contact with people who say they are/were very close to him and he has ripped them off and still owes them money too, as I understand it, he is not In Great standing with his parents in Geneva and actually now lives in Ukraine… he has mommy and daddy ship and help him but from what I’m hearing he has screwed them over too…

Good luck do what you will.

Can't be trusted. Shame.

I am glad to see these new chips are sold unfunded, at least there should be no worries about any future victims of losing their funding - would love to have one of ea just to put in the collection but I wont be ordering from him - I do not want to give him one more sat.

All my items I bought are fine but I have had to deal with over 100 individual coins/chips that were not funded where they should have been (buyers showing emails and convo snippets with coin sn's shown and mrcrypthodl stating they would be funded - yet they never were) then a few customers who were "reimbursed" but with USDT and at the value of the BTC at the time of load - not the equivalent of the BTC they paid.

It amazes me to see people from here on the forums that know his issues still supporting him and advertising and spreading his sales links all over various platforms - quite dumbfounding.

[Rymaster]

I will give my thought process, even though I know many will disagree.


There is a difference between intentionally scamming and inadvertently doing so through mistakes/disorganization. I have spent time to look through past post about MrCryptHODL and I believe his lack of funding certain pieces was an oversight. Although that is certainly no excuse. Being a creator, you are held to an even higher standard than most. However as collectors, we also need to do our due diligence and follow up on our loads. We all know being in the crypto space, it is important to verify, not trust, especially as buyers. After all, loaded collectibles certainly take a ton of trust, most even say it’s an unnecessary risk we take, from any creator.

I don’t think book keeping on the funds for loading was well kept. Best I can gather, MrCryptHODL was most likely overwhelmed once all the request for all funding started rolling in. He tried to address it by funding some but eventually took the “best to ignore” approach - to later come back, trying to make things right, refunding what he could. Although with funds being now in USDT instead of BTC, there is added tension. He most likely didn’t have the BTC to immediately cover all loads and from all the conversation screenshots I have looked through, if you were short/aggressive with him, it didn’t take much for him to block you and ignore funding your pieces for good.

I understand how this creator is still highly controversial - I have had positive experiences with him over the past few months. We did have some issues with shipping correct items and packages held at customs several times but he worked through it all with me, both use an escrow and without.


I have received many messages though over the past 12 hours in regards to posting his new release on the r/CryptoCollectibles subreddit and people worried about exposing unaware new collectors to potentially a bad experience so I have since taken it down. Even though I am willing to take the risk and followup on my collectibles, doesn’t mean others that aren’t educated enough on the situation should have to, not knowing what they are potentially walking into.

I understand why many are still upset and if possible, I would like to see a new, accurate list of what MrCryptHODL still owes, as I know he has refunded some.

whether it was an oversight or not - he spent the funds that he collected for funding and is now wanting to pay the USDT eqivilant as a refund - this is costing many users hundreds if not thousands depending on how many years ago they paid and never got their funding. Refunds should be in the same currency paid and in the amount that was paid - plain and simple.

To do otherwise is a blatant scammer mentality. "Oh, I collected all these funds and never disbursed them - they did not contact me so that means the funds are mine, let me convert to usdt and spend it"  --- This is never valid or correct.

I also was not openly rude or discourteous, simply have been asking him to fix it - he asked for a few days - that turned into a few weeks and now it has been months. I posted one public post and he told me I was harassing him and blocked me. Meanwhile all the items are still sitting unfunded.

While I agree payment should be made in same form it was original sent in, if he doesn’t have the BTC currently, he doesn’t have it (unless you know something I don’t possibly about his current wallet balances).

And the only way he’ll get more BTC is by working/selling. You can’t get blood from a turnip.

no but he could stop selling new items - go get a job, pay everyone back in full and then proceed with selling new items. As long as he is in the hole and his source of income to fund future work comes from current sales - that means no one will ever be made whole. it will just continue to be delayed and delayed.

This maker is a thief... full stop.

Dude KNOWINGLY spent funds that were not his.  This means he is a thief.  There is NOTHING else to say!!!

Did he? So you’re saying he converted these funds after the issue was brought to his attention, in early 2024?

I have yet to dive down the wallet rabbit hole trail myself, so not sure exactly where the funds were being sent from.

I don't give a shit how it happened... not even a little.

Bottom line:
Customers sent funds for the load of an item... item did not get loaded.  The maker does not have the funds to load the items.  Therefore he stole the funds!  They were not his funds to "convert."  Thy were not his to touch in ANY way for ANY reason other than sending to a customer's item.  He touched those funds and now they are no longer there, therefore the maker is a THIEF!  There is no argument.  There is no "but..."  Wrap your head around it... he's a thief.

Rinse and repeat can't be trusted.

I am sympathetic in a way. I am still owed fiunding on 13 orange chips. He said he will fund it, so I am hoping he will follow through

As someone else mentioned, if he does not have BTC then he would have to buy it. So if he doesn't have it, then he doesn't have it. I am kinda assuming he may be waiting to take funds from sales of these new chips to try to make things right. I am fairly certain he does have his own stack of BTC and for some reason doesn't want to use that. I know how stressful doing BTC transactions can be, less yet 13 of them along with looking back up conversations, verifying they were not funded, findiong the public addresses, etc. So, for my case, i could see that being a couple hour process and he may just not have found the time to do it with everything else he has going on.

I could see him just being poor at accounting, as a majority of people are. And keeping track of hundreds of coins and funding is not an easy task, especially if you are doing it all on your own. Agreed, he should be organized but its easier said than done. I have my own company and was dealing with invoicing by myslef for just 125 clients, its not an easy or simple task to keep track and follow up on everything. Its time consuming and if you don't have previous experience with it, then it may not go so smoothly. And if he does have a real job, then all these tasks on top of regular life may not be so easy to tackle.

anyway, i really do hope he follows through and makes things right. Such nice pieces.

Then he should not be a maker if he lacks in those areas!!  People who keep trying to make excuses for this maker are sick in the head, seriously!! 
There should be NO sympathy.  This has been going on for a long time. 
Wrap your heads around the fact that he is selling these items for his own profit, not to pay anybody back.  Stop being so naive!!

p.s.  what's odd is that in your word salad of "possible excuses" you have nothing to say about the missing funds?? 

it's only the MOST important part!! 

TBH, this just looks like an ass kissing hoping that the maker will see you not bashing them and saying something "nice" in hopes of getting your items funded.
