Instead of keeping the terms and conditions of service from being violated - they try to encourage users to violate those terms and conditions, which to me is a trap. So far I haven't encountered such cases - I mean, casino representatives encourage users to use VPN to access their casinos, but this is a suggestion that puts customers at risk.

Casino representatives can change at any time when the person who is doing the job is replaced for some reason. Such a policy seems unreasonable if it were done by a casino - but it may be a personal policy of the representative or the person who is in charge of serving the community.

I personally don't think an official telegram group is necessary - but for some small group of people can create their own for one reason or another. Bitcointalk is more than enough for me if the purpose is to have discussions - but of course not all of us can be active all the time in front of the monitor to respond to everything. Social media like Telegram is certainly good for quick response from users - but I think it can easily turn into a haven for scammers.

Today I see the market starting to recover and bitcoin is trading back above $105K. Anyone who accumulated on the dip the day before has seen how well that approach has worked so far - that's how the market rewards those who use it correctly. Don't be afraid when the market goes down for one reason or another - it will eventually recover for a reason.

Some people are hesitant to buy on dip - even with some of their capital, but the reality is that they are too often late to act, especially after the market recovers. It is okay to buy on a rise - accumulation can be done at any price, but when you take advantage of dip, you will obviously accumulate more bitcoin.

Even though Trump can influence the market - but the market is not entirely dependent on him. Traders still have to analyze both technically and fundamentally - but all of them are never a guarantee that market changes can occur for various reasons. We all know that price volatility can be influenced by various factors - even the fact that good and bad news can also change the direction of price movements in the past.

I'm not saying Trump can control the market to the point of manipulation - but people act too much on everything he says. Elon Musk also influenced the market a while ago - but his power faded over time and others emerged. Trump is very controversial in the eyes of market participants these days - but the market can't be determined by him.

There are many reasons why young people are attracted to bitcoin rather than the technology - generally as below:
1. Bitcoin is a trading asset that benefits them in the short term.
2. Bitcoin is a long-term investment asset that can make them achieve financial freedom.
3. Bitcoin has transformed many poor people into rich people who have enough to live a luxurious life.
4. Bitcoin is a currency that has no transaction limits like fiat with all banking services.

At least those are the 4 general points I can say - but to answer your question, I think we need to know what the purpose of this young person is getting involved in bitcoin specifically.

Responsible gambling is a piece of advice that every gambler should really consider if they want to avoid the many problems that gambling can cause. We know that addiction is very difficult to recover from and financial loss is very possible when things get out of control - so starting to gamble responsibly at least they have limits and don't approach gambling in a bad way.

There are many gamblers who think that gambling can change their fate - that's why they start looking for ways to make gambling a place to make money. They are not responsible gamblers based on their criteria and approach to gambling - but they are the gamblers who will eventually get into a lot of trouble after everything is gone.

Several teams in the group stage are already guaranteed to advance regardless of the results of their third match. In Group A - Palmeiras and Inter Miami are already qualifying, while Botafogo, Bayern Munich and Flamengo will all represent their respective groups in qualifying. Many others are yet to be confirmed - but Juventus and Manchester City are also set to advance.

The 3/3 match will be an interesting one because either team that wants to qualify still needs to play well and win the game. It will be a game that will decide whether they make it to the last 16 or go home early - but I think the favourites will probably make it to the last 16.

Of course - a series of early wins is one of the reasons why someone becomes addicted, but not only the early wins because I think losses can also make a gambler more curious. A good start is of course with wins - then changing the mindset to make money easy, but after that it is difficult to control yourself and difficult to get out of the circle.

I can really relate to it - but luckily, I don't get too caught up in it. Addiction is hard to control - but there is always a way to not get addicted and that is to occupy yourself with more productive things. Gambling is great as a way to entertain yourself - but when you plan to make money from it, you will somehow lose more.

To be honest - my initial gambling addiction was a trial and error. I gambled because I was curious about how it would feel to win - but after winning I gambled more and more and sometimes couldn't stop myself. It was an addiction after a few wins - then I got sobered up by a losing streak that I decided not to spend too much money on gambling anymore. This is my honest story - so it is really easy to be addicted no matter what our gambling results are. Winning can be addictive - as can losing, both trigger the desire to win more or recover losses.

The best gamblers are those who are responsible and gamble within normal limits. They should not chase wins and plan to recoup losses - that is, let them lose and enjoy the winnings. It's not as easy as it sounds - but the best gamblers are those who know their limits and gamble responsibly.

You are right - not all of these people have the same judgment about what they read. Some will look for evidence before they believe what they just read - but others will believe it right away. A brand's reputation can be tarnished by negative user reviews - but if the reviews are valid, then the brand should definitely be held accountable. Resolving issues should be done on a case-by-case basis - casino representatives need to be involved in the resolution, they should be proactive in responding during the resolution process.

Taxes are generally beneficial to both parties if the government manages them well. Taxes do not stop the gambling industry because when the government has collected it - then gambling is legal. Gamblers will not completely stop gambling even though they sometimes feel they are being treated unfairly because of taxes. Some will find ways to avoid taxes - but that is a bad approach in my opinion.

When the government legalizes something - they will find a way to make money from it. Taxes are one of the sources of government revenue - the gambling industry contributes quite a lot, but poor management is always a problem. I don't think badly of gambling taxes - it's just that the way the government manages them is very disappointing.

Over time - there will be a wave of large corporations buying bitcoin as a reserve asset or store of value. Inflation and all the bad things happening around the world have made fiat lose its value - so they will obviously look for a safe haven asset to help stabilize their finances. So far the investment from large companies has convinced many smaller companies to do the same - but I don't think they need to jump on the bandwagon without a plan.

MicroStrategy won't stop buying and accumulating bitcoin - they seem to be so convinced that the future of bitcoin is going to be much better and give them protection. Billions of dollars of big companies investments are already in bitcoin - Bitcoin is the future asset with the greatest potential to provide worth it returns - so there is no hesitation in buying and accumulating.

Lately - many investors may not be happy with the market conditions that tend to decline. This price decline is the impact of the current chaos and policies of one country to another - although not directly, but the impact is very clear now. Due to the war - the need for energy has really increased and of course each country needs a large budget to buy all the needs, but the price will be more expensive. I hear many people in the US complaining about Trump's policies - but who can stop him and change his policies?

In this case - I totally agree with you. Altcointalk is a forum that was created after bitcointalk was established and unshakeable - its purpose is the same as a discussion place, but there are many lack that make many of bitcointalk's members uncomfortable to be there even for a short time. I have personally been there to review and just know - but to be honest, I don't like it.

The main focus of altcointalk is basically for altcoins - but not limited to bitcoin and other discussions. Bitcointalk is much better and organized - even if mixers have been banned so far. There are many mixer projects on altcointalk as far as I know - but bitcointalk has banned them.

Some people are too quick to conclude that trading is bad after one or two losses - but it is true that trading can be a bad choice if a trader does not know how to do it. The trader's consistency with his plan and strategy is very important in this case - I mean, they should not change their strategy even if they suffer losses during the experiment. The market can sometimes be unpredictable and it can make them lose money - but there is always a way to not lose everything if they have the skills.

TP and SL are two mandatory things that every trader must determine the value of. If they set TP limit at 2% - then they need to set SL at 1%. They should be consistent like that and keep trading - but I strongly suggest them to have a trading record for at least 30 days. The first day can be a loss - but the second is a profit, they should record everything for 30 days and calculate the performance after that.

So far - I don't see any newbie jail on this forum. You will become a very well known newbie for two reasons - first if you are controversial and second because of your contributions. You may be very easily ignored and dropped on many users' ignore lists if you are a troll or controversial - but you will build a good reputation if you have made significant contributions to the forum.

@PowerGlove is just one real example for you to be inspired by - the rest, you can find out for yourself. Check out his first post - then see how the community reacts to it. He will be 3 years old tomorrow ^{[his account]}- did you know that he has earned 6079 merit in that time and has been a great contributor to this forum.

In the short term - I don't think the market is doing well. Prices tend to be affected by wars in some countries or economic policies of a country - but in the long term especially the rest of 2025, I think the market will still be bullish and hit new ATHs.

We don't really know what will happen for the rest of the year - but there is confidence and optimism about the bullish market for many reasons. Bitcoin has hit its new ATH a while ago - but today it tested its most important support at $100K, but still this volatility will continue and we never know where the market will turn bearish. I'm still optimistic about the rest of 2025 - a new ATH is what I want.

In most cases - VPN usage is strictly prohibited in most casinos. Even if a customer gets away with it and doesn't face any issues with using a VPN - it doesn't guarantee that they will remain safe and undetected. The terms and conditions of service should be the official reference in deciding who is at fault and who is not - usually customers who use VPNs to gamble will face problems when they hit a big win.

There are many gambling customers who complain that they have not violated anything and the casino limited their withdrawals to the point of blocking the account - but upon further investigation, the customer violated the terms and conditions either due to VPN use or something else prohibited by the casino.

As long as it's not dangerous - it's justified.
The existing forum rules can serve as a basic guideline for creating threads - they can ask if they don't understand, but there's no need to create a separate thread.

The existing forum rules ^{[Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ]} can be a basic guideline for creating a thread - they can ask questions if they don't understand, but there's no need to create a separate thread. My point is very clear - anyone who is confused or still lost is welcome to ask in the thread and someone will probably answer and give them direction. I don't necessarily blame the OP for creating this thread - but if he wants to know a lot and be specific, then try replying ask a question.

The employee mentality and the businessman mentality will be different in their approach to education. I no longer think of changing my own direction after all my degrees - but something about the future of my children is my responsibility now.

I will not really expect my child to be a permanent employee somewhere that gives him a monthly salary without a big hope of becoming rich from it - but I will try to change it in my own way so that they can get the best. The role of parents is to educate and direct them to be useful and productive - not just to be employees.
