What the OP says sounds like a new version of that old ‘the past was better’ argument. Although I do feel that way to some extent too – with minimal KYC and better deals for players, such as higher RTP. But what happened was inevitable. The authorities weren’t going to let all the money flowing through gambling continue to run wild. When it was a small niche, they didn’t pay it much attention, but as it grew, regulations, taxes and KYC came along. We’re lucky that we can still gamble at cryptocurrency casinos that don’t require KYC; that doesn’t happen at fiat casinos, and when I first started gambling online, I did so at fiat casinos that didn’t require it.

Indeed, when I found my way into this forum as well, it was dice that was on board then, Alot of online casinos back offered dice as the main game, though online casinos were as popular back then as they are today but then they operated well, but persons like myself didn't even take notice of any online casino until the covid-19 era came.

It's amazing to see how evolved the industry have grown and today, dice game has turned into one of the vintage casino games, its now considered a classic, gen z people will say it's a game that has gone out of style but the truth is that I enjoy playing dice better than any slot game but the thing is that I don't play it often because most time, I don't even remember it's there due to how unpopular it's become, unfortunately, dice is not the type of gambling game that can be recreated, else, I have no doubt that casinos of today would have recreated it in a different style to get it on board, just like they recreate crash.

Haha yes I have encountered this experience- it's like that specific game is always against you. No matter how many times you try to gamble on playing that game, the result would always lead to your downfall in the long-run.

Personally, the game blackjack gave me varying results but it was leaning towards a loss. On my experience, it's like I have a 70% chance of losing that game even if I employed and used different recommended strategies on guides on how to win that game.



I think this can also explain the reason on why we only remember the negative aspects instead of the positive things that happened.

For example, if you are so used to winning, it tends to desensitize the brain which alters your perception of it. If you suddenly experience a series of loss, you would feel like the whole world is against you and that you have been experiencing a losing streak more than your winnings as a whole.

I think anybody can easily make presumptions. If I know that somebody is into Bitcoin, for example, that's a good start. If I hear him/her speak and he/she appears serious about investing in Bitcoin and self-custody, that's almost a definite confirmation right away. That means there's 90% chance this man or woman keeps a hardware wallet at home. That's enough for him/her to become a prospect to a Bitcoin robber. That's why, as much as possible, I wouldn't openly talk about Bitcoin.

Thats it, they obviously worked on known to them individuals who expressed interest in crypto
and sought to try and con them out of their coins and when that didnt work this 20 year old
scumbag physically stole the hardware wallets. They definitely had their homework done by
robbing a wallet with 100 Bitcoin.

Now as others asked - Im wondering did the owners of those wallets  not have the security
details for the wallets in a secure and discrete location. Its one thing stealing a hardware wallet
but isnt it impossible to access it without the seed phrase and or pass phrase?

There was a thread recently advocating to not advertising that you own Bitcoin.

Looks like this is the case, not saying that it's bad to show respect. But in this case, it's very different to see Floyd getting his arms around his opponent. We haven't seen that version of Floyd in any of his fights.

maybe this Zambidis is just paid to lose the fight or it looks like this is just a sparring "fight" for Floyd. And I don't know how he can shake his ring rust fighting a unknown boxer and it looks like no one is interested to see this match.

When a gambler spends more time on gambling uncontrollably, his chances of addiction will increase to a great extent. If he spends more time on gambling, on the one hand, he will face financial losses, on the other hand, a large part of his time will be wasted. The gambler will suffer losses from both sides. Due to excessive gambling, the amount of losses of the gambler will continue to increase. But if he tries to control his gambling. If he gambles within his capacity, then even if he loses in gambling, that amount will be within the tolerance level. There is definitely a big chance of addiction with excessive gambling. While gambling, one should come back within a very short time so that he does not get addicted to gambling in any way. Although it will be difficult to control emotions at that time, but one should try.

I don't think there is measurements of time space that should be given to know when to gamble or not. Every time spent in gambling is precious if properly analys. It can be utilized into something more valuable and valuable than gambling.
The more time spent on gambling makes up for addiction, as the frequent patronage in the gambling sites makes one more involved in gambling. It good to gamble occasionally and without any emotional attachment with self control.

Whatever thing one is doing, let it be done in moderation and not in excess because it will always lead from one problem to another, it doesn't matter whether its religion or not. But, one has to do it for their own safety and of their future, that is why its good for players to just have fun so that they won't have to injure themselves into doing things that will destroy their lives and just enjoy the game as it is and not to do otherwise.

Yes, I think it is too much. It’s one thing that people with a conflict of interest aren’t allowed to gamble, but you can imagine how much harm it could do if a clerk in the public sector or someone who serves you at a counter went to the casino with friends over the weekend and placed a couple of bets.


I'm not so sure about the claim that it won't be implemented. I don't know exactly how it will work in the Philippines, but a commission like that usually has regulatory authority, and if you look at the news article, it says:

Bitcoin to the Moon
And when it boom no one glooms
For all, it's a boon

But for fiat fanatics
It is time to take Plan B
B as in Bitcoin

What do you mean not damage good? Have you seen his fight against Fundora 2x and then to Bakhram Murtazaliev? It's was bloody and brutal. For that win against Velasquez and Nurja, it's obvious that it was cherry pick fight for him to regain back his confidence.

I agree with @mirakal - battle of losers and most likely trying to salvage their career. Shots fired already at the press conference and it looks like Spence has started trash talking already when all Tim said to him was all respectful.

In my opinion, whether or not to own a home depend largely on one’s financial situation. Most of us are hesitant between buying and renting because our financial situation does not allow us to own one or more homes. The other reasons are just excuses.


When you own a house, not an apartment, you own a property with the potential to appreciate. Real estate is an essential asset class, and its value only increases over time.

Although home maintenance can be costly, it is still much cheaper and more worthwhile than renting.

I tried that too (when I reached around the 12th page of the Service announcements board  ) and found those similar dead projects. Shame though, it would be nice to see and try them.

No idea. There are some archives on April 1 this year (and maybe a couple of years ago, too), but, I couldn't see the changes made in the forum, especially that green theme.

Wow. A real-life crypto farming simulation. I'd love to imagine this project managed to continue and grow; the viewers could feed not just chickens but all sorts of farm animals. 

It sounds like a site that could amplify someone's depression from selling their BTC early.  It's a fun site nonetheless.

This is cool too. It's like a traffic jam monitoring service but for crypto. 

I don't chase bonuses as well and I know that I'll simply fall for the trap if I won't stop chasing them. And I bet whenever I want without the pressure of going with the bonuses.

It is true those who are gambling for a long time could have a lot of time to spare and money to chase for the bonus given with that.

But for a guy who casually gambles to have fun, it won't matter to them whatever is the wagering requirement because they won't even chase for it.

There is no free money when it comes to bonuses with wagering requirement as it is usually about deposit bonus.
Even if there is something like FS bonus or No Deposit bonus that you can get without deposit but the most common rule in order to complete the wagering requirement of the winning money from the FS or No Deposit bonus is only counted when you use real balance.
One more thing, you are trying to complete wagering requirement by playing original games? That will be harder.
First because most casinos do not count wager on original games toward wagering requirement, if there are casinos that do count it, it is usually contribute small percentage only.

I also do not feel comfortable chasing bonuses in casinos but then since it is free money and something that a player is entitled to whenever they meet the condition, it is only fair that the condition be possible to meet and not become a share waste of time and energy. A considerate wagering requirement is one that is not too small to meet and not too big as well so that any lucky and diligent player should be able to achieve it. Anywhere within 30% is fine for me, it can be achieved faster through original games although it will be hard through sports betting.

We have to have jobs, get salary or at least wage for our very essential spending, and when our finance is good enough we will be able to use just part of it for investment. Invest discretionary income into Bitcoin is very good, as we will invest, accumulate bitcoin in long term, hold it a long time together with gradual accumulation practice. With Bitcoin, holding it longer time means less risk and higher probability to get bigger profit.

If our finance is not like of the rich, we will surely need very long time for Bitcoin accumulation, that is like disadvantage and advantage as likely it forces us to hold our bitcoin a long time. It's not like we can make one or two purchases and think it's done for our Bitcoin accumulation, so with gradual purchases over time, it's firstly like DCA, and more importantly it can help us gaining very good ROI.
