If you are a strong believer of retrocausality, Bitcoin has always been at least $10 Million... But you would also get laughed at for believing in retrocausality (which is ok because it means you have always been laughed at for believing in retrocausality).

Re: Which is more addicting?
by
goldkingcoiner
on 15/08/2025, 10:10:20 UTC
There are different types of gamblers depending on what they play. Some gamblers are rounded and play all kinds of types possible but there are those who only stick with one type.

For example, one could just play slots while one just sports betting. My question would be which one do you think is more addicting? Slot machines are more rapid and you can play it more consecutively because it is fast unlike sports betting where matches take time. You might get addicted on sports betting more if you enjoy analyzing things and winning it might give you some pride for your skills. Not to mention that if you are a fan of the sport you are betting on, surely you are emotionally invested in the sport therefore would want to follow it and bet on it many times.

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?

They are both equally addictive to those people who are predisposed of becoming addicted.

Although it also depends on the person, I think. I am not much of a sports guy, so I do find slots more fun. But I can see a person becoming more easily addicted to sports gambling if he/she was a sports fanatic in the first place.

I get bored, personally, if I stay with one game too long. Even slots becomes more boring than sports betting if all you do is play slots all the time. It's like having a favorite food but eating it everyday will get old fast.

Re: How Fast Should Casino Payouts Be?

I have not won more than $250 before and the withdrawal were very fast in each. The amounts are also significantly less than $250 in most cases but I am just using what I experienced during withdrawal to post.

The withdrawal can be between some seconds to few minutes depending on the coins.

I think it depends on the amount, more than anything. Withdrawing $250 dollars is not going to be met with the same level of scrutiny as with $250.000 dollars, right? The casino needs to make sure they are giving the money to the right person, and that that person is allowed to even make the withdrawal in the first place. The casino, if the get "lucky", might discover that the player in question violated a rule from the terms of service and is not eligible for making any withdrawals. This seems to be the case, usually, when I look at the people complaining on the forum about winning large amounts of money yet not being allowed to withdraw.

Re: Fiat currency VS Bitcoin

We experience and will still experiencing the waves of changes and uncertainty. Will Bitcoin eventually replace Fiat currency? Why or why do you not think so?

Once Bitcoin solves the whole issue with scaling and fees, sure I do not see why not.

But fiat is far too anonymous, corruptible and exploitable. No government in the world would want to replace a system like that. Especially since they are the main ones who can exploit the whole inflationary aspect of it to "steal" from their own people.

The entire business scheme of banks relies on the broken fiat system. So they too would be reluctant to actually replace it with a currency which takes their profits away from them and makes their entire business scheme redundant.

Re: About Signature Campaign

Hello everyone. As what I've understand in this forum that reaching the rank to Jr- Member is one of the requirements in joining a signature campaign. Can anyone could tell what is signature campaign is all about? How it works, the structure and what are the other requirements needed aside from a jr-member account?

Any piece of advice is highly Appreciated. Thanks

A signature is just the space that you can see below your posts on boards which allow signatures. You can use it to advertise and get paid for it. But you still have to post regularly and in a qualitative fashion.

You can wear a signature at a lower level account but the higher (more senior) forum accounts get paid more. You can also find a signature campaign that pays out in altcoin tokens (although I do not recommend it, since getting paid in Bitcoin or any listed cryptocurrency is better than some token which may or may not have value someday in the future - most, like 9 out of 10 don't become valuable).

Re: Do VIP program gives you an edge, or make you spend more?
by
goldkingcoiner
on 14/08/2025, 13:16:32 UTC
As gamblers, we all know that most casinos now have a VIP program. The only way to reach that level or increase your VIP status is by continuously gambling and placing higher stakes so you can climb up faster.

So this question is for those aiming for a higher VIP level or those already there..
how do you feel about it? Does it actually give you real benefits, or does it just make you spend more?

It's just a rewards program for players who continue to be loyal towards a casino by using them for their gambling. Long term users get awarded in any place of business, it is just good marketing to reward someone for their loyalty.

Of course, the main point is keeping them on their platform because they know they will get rewarded for it.

In the end, it is all about profits for the casino business. But it feels good to be acknowledged and rewarded.

I doubt it makes me spend more, it just makes me more loyal towards the casino in question. Because I know they care about user retention more than quick and easy profits.

Re: Crypto casino gets hacked - are you still expecting a refund?
by
goldkingcoiner
on 14/08/2025, 10:39:54 UTC
Big names like Metawin and Stake survived hacks before, and players got lucky their funds were safe. But if it’s some random casino with no deep pockets? Good luck. Inside job, outside job… either way, don’t expect them to hand your money back out of kindness.

And waiting for a third party to help? Yeah, sure. I’ve seen that with exchanges, but with gamblers? Nope. Not once.

So if you’re betting on a refund, you might as well bet on winning the jackpot too -- same odds (correct me if im wrong), I guess..

Surviving hacks is nice and all but if they were to lose all their clients money? I suppose their insurance company would repay the casino's players. Unless of course, you were talking about some unregulated, shady, off-shore casino. In which case, the money would be gone forever and nobody would get it back. The worst people could do is find out who was the owner of the casino and make sure he goes to prison as punishment.

It is important to play on regulated, big casinos.

Re: 99% of players will never get rich on bets.
by
goldkingcoiner
on 14/08/2025, 10:01:55 UTC
I mean, of course, sports betting. In casino games based on chance, such as roulette, many more people will not be able to get rich - 99.9% or 99.99% or even 99.999%. There are many prerequisites for such a forecast. On the one hand, we know the statistics, although they are contradictory. The overwhelming majority of players, approaching 99%, according to various estimates, lose money in sports betting in the long term. If you ask me for links to studies, then, I'm afraid I will have nothing to show you. This is very difficult to do and difficult to achieve truthful results. Not all players are inclined to tell the truth and it will be difficult for an outside researcher to verify. However, the longer the period we take, the more likely it is that the winners are only people who were lucky. So I wonder what motivates people who want to get rich on sports betting if they believe in such a pattern? Do the players sincerely believe in their own exceptionalism and genius?

Depends on what you mean as rich. Getting rich in a third world country is not the same as getting rich in a first world, western country. But the odds do remain extremely low, for either.

I think players do become convinced of their own exceptionalism, as you said.

Some gamblers start thinking that they can somehow trick the system and either become a millionaire or somehow make a secure, steady income out of their gambling activities, even though the mathematics show the probabilities are against them at all times and therefore make their dreams nearly impossible.

Re: Is Gambling Addiction Part of the Casino Business Model?
by
goldkingcoiner
on 14/08/2025, 06:28:50 UTC
Do casinos profit from addiction, or do they truly promote "responsible gaming" as they claim?

As what we have seen, casinos are profiting from gamblers who can't control themselves and play as much money as they can and think that they can bring the house down. But we all know that the longer we play, the higher the chance that we are going to lose anyway.

Probably there are casinos that really have programs like self-exclusion and outright banning of players and promoting 'responsible gaming'.

But you have to ask yourself, If casinos eliminated all problem gamblers, would they still be profitable?

Gambling addiction means that gambling addicts will lose all their money and still come back to give the casino even more money. It is the same as with drug addicts being good business for dealers. But the casinos would still make a lot of money even without the relatively small amount of addicts, who lose all their money.

It is not a good thing, because of the damage it does to the addict. But from a purely business perspective, yes, there will be lost profits and there needs to definitely be more regulation to prevent addicts from going overboard and losing their money to greedy business owners who do not care about other people's well-being as long as they can make a few more cents...

Re: Safest way to cash out crypto to a UK bank without centralized exchanges?
by
goldkingcoiner
on 14/08/2025, 05:50:03 UTC
Hi friends,

I’m planning to take some profits during this bull run and convert some crypto to fiat into UK bank account. Previously, I used centralized exchanges, but I’d prefer not to this time since, from 2026, all UK exchanges will be required to report every transaction to HMRC.

I’ve tried looking for escrow services but haven’t found any suitable for selling crypto to fiat for a UK bank account.

I’m wondering what the best option would be. Is P2P the way to go? If so, which platforms are the safest, and what measures can I take to ensure that the cash received in my bank is legitimate and can’t be reversed or charged back?

Thanks.  Smiley

As far as I know there is no safe way to cash out to a UK bank if it can be traced back to a cryptocurrency or something to do with cryptocurrency. The UK government is a clown circus and the banks do what they want at this point. I would recommend p2p for cashing out but even then the banks might have questions for you that you might or might not be able to answer with satisfaction.

Why not just keep your money in crypto?

P2P really is your best option. Bisq is usually the best option.

Re: Is it okay to trade without a source of income?
by
goldkingcoiner
on 12/08/2025, 16:26:31 UTC
At the beginning I want to say that I am a semi-skilled trader. I do not have any source of income. I have been learning trading for the past 13 to 15 months and investing for 5 months. But even though I am temporarily profitable from here, I am completely losing because I cannot control my emotions. This is repeating itself with me again and again. Even yesterday I lost my capital along with my profit.

Then I plan to take a loan from my friend to deposit in trading again. When I asked him for financial help to deposit in trading, he advised me to find a source of income before entering trading again and advised me to refrain from trading recently and introduced me to this forum so that I can gain deep knowledge about trading. He even advised me to gain deep knowledge about Bitcoin investment so that after finding a source of income I can easily invest in Bitcoin. Should I accept such advice? Or should I go back to trading anyway? I am seeking proper advice from experienced people.

I would recommend that you find a reliable source of income.

If you have no source of income, what are you going to be trading with when you need money? It is important to have a source of income! Trading is not a reliable source of income nor should it be seen as such. You need to trade only with what you money you can set aside.

And since you have said you are a semi-skilled trader making losses because of emotional mistakes, that just further puts into contrast that your trading income has a high risk profile, which means you cannot depend on it.

Re: Do casinos use “near miss” psychology in slots to keep players hooked?
by
goldkingcoiner
on 12/08/2025, 15:47:00 UTC
Slot players will get this, sometimes that big bomb symbol drops, and you’re already thinking “this is it,” but nope… no tumble, nothing connects. Then you sit there thinking, “Damn, that was close,” and next thing you know, you’re still spinning, chasing that moment again.

So what do you think, just coincidence, or a little design magic to keep us hooked? I know they’ll say it’s all fair and random, but you can’t tell me the devs didn’t factor this in when making the game. After all, nothing keeps a gambler glued to the screen like almost winning.

Oh yes, Casinos definitely use psychology to keep us playing. But they are not the only business that does this, I mean just look at supermarkets. Ever wonder why the apples look so much better in the store than they do at home? Or why they use mirrors in the produce aisle? Or the music? It is all carefully thought out to maximize profits.

And do not even get me started on all the marketing and advertising tactics...

The most important thing is to keep a certain degree of self-discipline and sticking to your own rules. Then you will not have to worry about taken advantage of.

It really depends on the person, if they let something influence them or not.

Re: Got scammed in crypto- What lesson did you learned?
by

on 11/08/2025, 10:12:16 UTC
How I avoid scams?
I keep hearing about crypto scams but not sure what to watch out for. Any tips or red flags I should know? For those who experience crypto scam, what lesson have you learned? Appreciate any advice.

Just trust your gut. If something feels off, or it feels too good to be true, then it most likely is. And if you are unsure, feel free to ask the Bitcointalk community before you do anything which can make you lose money.

Do not allow any defi permissions from tokens that you are not 100% sure are real and legit. Giving permission to your wallet can mean it will be emptied by a third party. Also do not use weird wallets that have not been vetted by the Bitcointalk community. And do not give anyone your seed phrase or private key.

There are also some things that seem like scams but are not. Even though they can cost you your money as well.

For example: Trustwallet is a shitty wallet. It had a broken UI and no user protection against illiquid, look-alike and/or fake coins. I personally lost over $6000 USD because I mistakenly swapped my SOL tokens for fake BUSD tokens, instead of real BUSD tokens. There was no warning and no way to tell (Because the info button, which shows contract address and so on was broken) : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536900

Welcome to the Bitcointalk forum!

A pure Bitcoin gambling experience? You do not hear about that every day... Sounds good.

Where does the deposit go? Into custody wallets? It seems to me that the wallet access is also server sided, so in what ways are they secured? Do you have any documentation or is the project entirely closed source?

Also, do you support lightning yet or will that be in future planning?

Re: Gambling ads become part of daily life
by
goldkingcoiner
on 10/08/2025, 18:01:56 UTC
Almost every sports including football's dominated by gambling ads. Casino ads are affecting ppl. Kids see it every where it isn't healthy. Billboard ads tv ads & online ads are every where. How's gambling affected you & ppl you know ?

I've got mixed feelings about renting my sig for gambling. I've done it because I wanted managers to consider me for other sig campaigns which aren't casinos when they're available. I'd prefer giving it to mixer sig campaigns but they're banned. I'm not sure how long I'll rent my sig like this.

I use firefox with extensions like ublock origin, sponserblock for youtube and privacy badger. So I am minimizing my exposement to any kinds of ads, whether of gambling nature or not. But I also believe there are a lot of unblockable ads for gambling, especially in places like porn sites, streaming sites and forums. I have never been affected by any advertisements because of this habitual avoidance.

Most of my gambling activities come from the persuation of other people. In other words, peer pressure. Or simple boredom.

Re: I need a trade mentor

I have come across different threads discussing trading.
I was initially interested in trading even before I joined this forum, but ever since, I have not met anyone willing to teach me.
Most of the videos I have seen on YouTube are too complex, especially those using tools like the OctaFX App and Exness Trade App.
I am looking for someone who can teach me or recommend a website or link where I can learn trading in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
I am ready and willing to learn



All you need is study material and a testnet where you can practice trading with fake money. Most traders are not profitable and a mentor will probably only waste your time and, in the worst case, teach you stuff which is completely wrong.

Trading is more about self-study and practice. A mentor won't be able to help you with that.

The only thing a mentor could teach you is how to keep your emotions in check and not flip-flop on your own strategies out of doubt or panic.

Re: Do casinos release big wins instantly?
by
goldkingcoiner
on 09/08/2025, 15:13:47 UTC
I haven’t won really big in a casino or sportsbook, so I’m making this topic to get information from users who have already hit big, or who know stories about bettors who have.

My question is, do casinos release big wins instantly, like it’s just part of their normal process?

Please share your experiences so we can be aware..
And if there are any requirements aside from KYC, let us know so we can prepare for it in case we get lucky and hit the jackpot in the future.


Depending on the size of the win, sometimes casinos have to stall for time in order to come up with the money. Although I think that pertains mostly to smaller casinos, I think even large casinos can be caught low on liquidity sometimes. They would never admit it publically though. Maybe they will just make you run circles because of some "issue" or other until they can release the funds. Very frustrating for the user and I have seen enough people complaining on these forums to believe this to be true.

But who knows?

Re: Dormant addresses and source of income/funds
by
goldkingcoiner
on 09/08/2025, 08:01:11 UTC
Let's say you got bitcoin (or any other coin) back when it was very cheap. You bought a hardware wallet, and you held it through all of these years. It's now worth hundreds of thousands (or more). Is it safe to say that you're still likely to be asked for the source of these funds even when they can see the funds has been moved from a dormant address?

Well you could probably still have a trail of how you obtained the coins, but even if you don't it should be quite clear the coins have not been moved in years and the only value worth considering is what they were worth when you got them in the first place. Nobody can claim money laundering if you got the coins when they were worth a few dollars, even if they are worth a fortune now.

But personally, I would still not put them on an exchange, as any third party would love an opportunity to take your coins away from you for whatever reason they can come up with. Selling them in a non-custodial fashion like on Bisq is still the better option.
