Aside from the hard-headed people, the biggest problem is a country's, lack of respponse regarding combating the virus itself. Corruption, misinformation, and numerous other factors lead country leaders to poor decisions that ultimately costed them millions of dollars and hundred thousands of lives.

I don't mean to be abrasive but perspective I feel perspective is necessary. I wouldn't want to have a world view that includes all of a sudden being shocked by the worlds ills because the main stream media put on a death clock like it were the super bowl.

I'm not saying SarsCov2 doesn't exist. It does, but so did the thousands of contagious and deadly virus's during years past that have gone by. 

TLDR: You got played. Your fear is the tool that they are using to institute radical societal change. Pharmaceutical companies lead by Bill gates are the new weapons manufacturing industry that ruled the past century. All imo of course.


Duhh, only that this fear of COVID-19 is important whether it be administered by the mainstream media or not. Don't you think you'll still be alive today if everyone shrugged the virus off because we have countless "more deadly" viruses in the open? Do you think you'll be able to enjoy your stimulus check, if ever you are in the US, instead of using it for medication, if ever you got struck by the SarsCOV2? No, I don't think so. So next time, don't downplay serious things like this just because there are worse things out. Instead be a beacon of information to help those in people who sre not in the clear yet.

One thing that I have kept my mind set when gambling is a saying that goes like this: "If you can't buy four of it, you cannot afford it." So that in itself should already give you a good idea of what responsible gambling is. It doesn't have to be within tje bounds of your budget, if you can't gamble without allotting a specific dividend of your money, then you shouldn't do it. It's going to minimize your losses, and will teach you how to be responsible with your money, whether it be disposable or your last cash.
1543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The biggest 10 countries that gamble the most. on: December 10, 2020, 05:48:28 AM
It's no surprise US is owning every other country when it comes to gambling. They have the most prestigious and most extravagant gambling dens in the world, enough to entice the high-rollers of this planet to waste away their money. Just weirded out that Macau is not in this list considering how big they make them up to be in the media.
It's a surprise that China and the USA haven't on the list and most of the time when we talk about gambling those countries have some dedicated cities for casinos like Las Vegas and Macau.
Have you read the post? US is literally at the top of the list. Please read more into the post and don't just reply for the sake of replying.
1544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - February 20 on: December 10, 2020, 04:29:53 AM
I don't know about you guys. But these fights are both benefiting and ruining professional boxing for its fans. For one, it brings fans new flavors to root for other than the conventional powerhouses like Pacquiao and Mayweather. However, it also damages its reputation as people like these without prior boxing experience or even proper training get to fight in the big leagues just for cash, while our small-time boxers with much bigger potentials get kicked in the curb. Then again, we're just all in it for the gamble so it shouldn't impact us as boxing fans should.
1545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People Say btc is Not ponzi but its look like ponzi on: December 10, 2020, 04:11:17 AM
It's been a couple of years now and I still see people thinking bitcoin is a ponzi scheme. Let me clarify this for you OP so you don't spread FUD among the newbies of this industry.

1. Unlike a Ponzi Scheme, here at Bitcoin, nobody's telling you you are going to profit, the secret to profiting here is through calculated trading behavior, timing, and yes, a bit of luck.
2. Ponzi schemes are much like pyramid scams, however here in Bitcoin, it's you, the demand of the public, and the odds that will determine your profits.

Peoples frequently get misled by somebody and begin calling it Ponzi. Its been a long time since bitcoin release and individuals are as yet using it and making colossal benefits. I think those individuals who call bitcoin a trick or Ponzi plot are less taught in terms of contributing and hold bitcoins. You need to pay profoundly tolerant when you put your asset in digital money, since it decentralizes it can be up any time

You got it. I'm seeing these kinds of posts coming from people who haven't even invested on even a teeny weeny bit of bitcoin. Perhaps they may wanna do their own research, instead of basing their claims by word of mouth.
1546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Millennials Are Twice As Likely To Buy Bitcoin Than Gold on: December 09, 2020, 11:30:22 PM
Millenials are best known for their lack of interest regarding material stuff that holds value. That is why diamonds are at an all time llw for a long time now. They are also known for their huge impatience, they wouldn't want a thing to be done in 5 mins. ig it can be done within 2 mins. anyway. So yeah, Millenials are indeed cauzing this huge of an impact.
1547  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there a market for crypto based client side data mining on: December 09, 2020, 03:53:30 AM
Isn't that how forumslike these work? To impart knowledge from one person to another? There's no need or if there's any, it's pretty unnoticeable so I don't see a pointin making a client side data mining program when we can just do things the same way we've been doing it for the past few decades. And you can be sure of yourself nobody's taking advantage of the lack of security because it's as secure as it can be!
1548  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pizza Hut accepts bitcoin on: December 09, 2020, 02:10:37 AM
Food establishments adopting bitcoin is a great step towards overall public acceptance of bitcoin. The importance of food plus the availability of bitcoin as a payment method may indeed spark people to gravitate towards using and investing on cryptocurrency. Though I still doubt it that bitcoin would be a currency, given the current situations.
1549  Economy / Economics / Re: Will Crypto live forever or die? on: December 09, 2020, 01:40:28 AM
It may be highly possible that bitcoin may outlive us, since it has no physical form and can exist almost anywhere. But it is in fact not invincible. Lack of access to the internet can cause the coin's, value to plummet, especially if this happens all at once. So say, a global meltdown of the internet itself is gonna cost it its life, although it is very unlikely.
War might happen but it won't actually kill Bitcoin.

As far as I know, currencies are not affected during the past wars. It is not that economies stop during wars and the value of currencies or fiat is going flat. Stocks would obviously be affected, the market would obviously be affected but despite that, besides the fact that the cryptocurrency market will also be affected, I don't think it will die.
Until you remember that cryptocurrencies aren't behaving the same as your regular stocks. See, the less people accessing the internet, the less important bitcoin becomes. And since war ravages and halts technological advance in favor of military advantage, cryptocurrencies are screwed for that matter.
1550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will Bookmakers Suspend/Restrict My Account if I Profit in the Long Term? on: December 08, 2020, 08:54:02 PM
There is a huge percentage of chance that ypu will be investigated about. Basically KYC, mostly just to doublecheck and ensure you are not doing monkey business. If they are reputable and you are found not guilty of the accusation, they won't ban you. Simple as that. Most bookmakers are paid thru commisions so they don't hate to see you winning with a burning passion.
A lot of places will just kick you out.

To understand think about how they make money.

Most make money by doing risk management and not hedging all bets. This means that if you are annoying and profitable, or profitable in markets they have trouble hedging then they might just kick you.

BUT
There are plenty of places that wont, like decentral betting apps, fairlay, asianodds ect
This is also possible, again weigh your decisions OP. If you feel like you are not gonna be welcome in that online bettingbsite for too long, then it's best you stay away while you dtill haven't invested time, money and power.
1551  Economy / Speculation / Re: Cause of the recent price spike on: December 07, 2020, 11:59:25 PM
It's mainly because of the supposed halving of the available supply of bitciin which greatly impacted the price vs supply and demand to the coin. Apart from that, economists already predicted a new increase in bitcoin's price sometime around this year. COVID-19 has little to do with how bitciin got to this price because as many people have seen it, only a few were able to invest due to lack of funds.
1552  Economy / Economics / Re: More Banks maybe Closed and cryptocurrency exchangers are new way of banking on: December 07, 2020, 11:42:20 PM
If that is so, then we'll have a very bad first half. The fact that exchangers as of the moment are still in its infancy stage evident in its high transaction fees is enough proof to claim that we still aren't ready. Those who have money in the banks to secure their future will be forced to learn more about crypto, saturating the industry even more as they will inevitably join in order to profit.
In my opinion there will never be crypto exchanges replacing banks, the first reason the government will not allow that to happen.
The second reason crypto exchanges have weaker security systems than banks is that it is often the case that crypto exchanges
are hacked. It makes people feel more secure and comfortable keeping money in a bank than keeping it on crypto exchanges.
So banks are still needed, I think crypto exchanges should be used for trading only.

Exactly. And this change may not see a big adoption, it may even cause a decline on both ends as there are srill a huge majority of people that don't know how to play with cryptocurrency numbers.
1553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do the odds of other outcomes matter to you? on: December 07, 2020, 11:21:10 PM
You may come off as a very nervous person but at least you hsve a plan to alleviate the losses in case. And as per OP's question, yes. A lot of the times it is best to double check your odds and second guess things that are a bit skeptical. The gambling industry is already too rigged and unforgiving to its losers, so you have to do your best to make the most out of it.
I am using the cashout feature very well by going for a high odds team and then watching them winning some part of the game. I can also hold till they win the game but we can't be lucky always so I decided not to remain in the bet for long and gamble like a trader and use the advantage of the cashout perks.
This is a great idea. Small wins is still a win anyway. Instead of letting the game transpire and risking yourself to even more losses, it's best to just quit while you are ahead.
1554  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What you should need to consider before trading cryptocurrencies? on: December 07, 2020, 10:19:45 PM
One shpuld always take into account that online crypto trading is as risky as regular trading, if not more risky. It is easy to be fooled by cryptocurrency when you're seeing your friends earning high profits in this industry, but make no mistake, those profits would cost you time, effort, and sometimes money too to get good at it. So trade at your own risk, and read books that will help you gain better knowledge at this craft.
1555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Japan becomes more friendly towards Gambling on: December 07, 2020, 08:48:02 PM

- the citizens will still be taxed if their winnings exceed a certain amount
This one should be highlighted so people would be aware that taxation only applies if they won above the ground. Sometimes, people are scared trying gambling because they think they'll be taxed once they won any amount. A good law like this will make the entertainment industry be active thus will give them a benefit too. Especially now that people are more engaged in online activities, not far from trying online gambling.

Share your thoughts?? Would things like this benefit other countries too?
Every country has its different perspective over something, it this goes good then why not other countries follow it?
1556  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: **family survives 40 countries living only on Bitcoins** on: December 06, 2020, 11:46:53 PM
This may inspire companies to promote the use of bitcoins in their prpducts, and may also help them build their profits in bitcoins instead of fiat which will greatly boost thr people's confidence towards cryptocurrencies in general. Though on the downside, this could've caused them a lot of trouble and inconvenience knowing that few establishments and company that offers services are allowing bitcoin payments.
1557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you use bitcoin? on: December 06, 2020, 11:36:44 PM
How you say. Most people even in countries where it is okay to use bitcoins and crypto, still just hodls on their coins, sometimes fkrgetting they are even there. This is actually a great tactic, as it keeps you from FUD and enables you to think rationally as losses aren't under your radar. Nonetheless a lot of people also use bitcoins in trading and finance. So there's that.
1558  Economy / Economics / Re: US Firm Launches Company-Sponsored Bitcoin Retirement Plans on: December 06, 2020, 11:10:24 PM
I'm not so sure if this is a great idea at all. A bitcoin insurance is a much better idea than knowing that your retirement money is based off a currency that is too volatile to even be used as a money, and intangible that we can pretty much say they are made out of thin air. Imagine the pressure and mental damsge that could do to a weak-hearted future you. It's just going to be too much.
1559  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin ready for world wide 1 currency? on: December 06, 2020, 11:08:02 PM
It is prepared or at the very least made for this, though the fact still stands that bitcoin is not ready yet to become a global currency. See, for one to become a global currency, it shouldn't hold too high of a value that other people will have a hard time ven owning just one. Which in this case bitcoin is, if we are to water down the value anyhow, the investing industry will go nuts because that will be a big loss for them. Not to mention it's volatility too.
1560  Economy / Economics / Re: I lost my job, how about you guys? on: December 06, 2020, 10:42:08 PM
Sorry to hear about that. Like you, I'm among the millions of people who have lost their regular jobs as well and habe been forced to make ends meet in other ways. It is a great relief that some of us have a backup plan, yet still, my heart goes out for those people who were left penniless by this pandemic.
Unfortunately, the pandemic affected all of us negatively, we have come to the level of losing our jobs. some of us were laid off. we have to try to make money from our seat at this time, but how?
I have heard a great saying regarding planting trees that we can also apply to investing. "The best time to plant a tree (Invest) is 20 years ago. The second best time is now". So keep on trying and of coming up of ways to earn you money. Be it in investment, business, or others, as long as it is legal.
