I think that the stronger the economic growth, the more likely it is that additional large amounts of money will be poured into Bitcoin. We have not yet entered the post-pandemic era; a second and third wave awaits us. Only next summer, if forecasts are to be believed, will our common immune system be able to withstand the virus. Therefore, it is too early to say, because a lot can happen during this time. Fucking 2020 isn't over yet, and it's probably full of surprises.

If you make poker your main source of income, and therefore your main job, you are taking that risk. In addition, there are certain rules, which it is better not to go beyond, in order to avoid the element of randomness leading to unpredictable losses. Therefore, it is imperative that you always stick to bankroll management. Poker is a game of probabilities, the more correct your decisions are in the long run and the more you keep your bankroll, the higher the probability of a stable income.

There is an irony, however, you need to understand that the cryptocurrency is not completely banned, it can be stored, but you cannot pay.
In any case, I can call the fact that she received at least some kind of legal status progress.
As for the above case, why not? It is not excluded that the initiative will shrink and in the near future we will see the data of Russian citizens put up for sale on the darknet, as it was recently.

It's not as easy as it sounds. The current average level of poker players is quite high compared to what we could see 5 years ago, and even much higher than 10 years ago.
Poker does not forgive mistakes, and the field is developing too fast. To earn poker, you need to live. It is very similar to trading in terms of the time and resources spent and the result obtained.

Messaging giant LINE has launched a wallet for users to manage digital assets and a blockchain platform where developers can issue their own tokens, tokenize digital assets, and run decentralized applications (dapps).

LINE’s development platform aims to allow companies to easily introduce blockchain technology, CoinDesk Japan reported.
LVC Corporation, operator of the company’s crypto and blockchain businesses, and LINE TECH PLUS PTE unveiled the platform, LINE Blockchain Developers and BITMAX Wallet on Wednesday. The wallet services are now only available in Japan, where LINE is particularly well-known.

The company is developing the proprietary LINE Blockchain and issued its own token LINK (LN) for trading against several major crypto assets such as bitcoin and ether in 2018.
LINE also started offering trading services via its crypto exchange Bitbox. It was approved for a crypto business license in September 2019.

The company established the LINE Blockchain Lab in April 2018, which has been tasked to build the LINE Token Economy.
LINE, with more than 84 million users in its messaging app, aims to leverage its existing network to jumpstart the development of its token economies and accelerate adoptions of many dapps built on its proprietary blockchain platform.
The company is one of a handful of messaging apps that have tried to develop blockchain technology and issue their own tokens, but it stands out for the progress it has made.

Canadian messaging company Kik and Russia-originated Telegram have met with lawsuits from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for their controversial fundraising processes called Initial Coin Offering (ICO), while American messaging giant Facebook’s stablecoin project Calibra is stalled and facing major challenges from the U.S legislators and financial authorities.

It looks like Telegram is targeting the wrong country.

As you already understood, everyone faced similar problems. Personally, I was very surprised when I saw gas prices in excess of 150.
By the way, transactions even with high gas freeze, apparently due to changes in the load in the subsequent blocks. It looks like the miners are back in their golden age.

Coinbit, South Korea’s third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, has reportedly been seized by police over allegations it faked most of its trading volume.

According to a report from Seoul Newspaper on Tuesday, local police raided and confiscated the company's Gangnam headquarters and other premises.
Accused of fraud, the firm's owner, Choi Mo, and other managers are said to have artificially inflated volumes on the exchange by using "ghost" accounts to make fake trades, a practice known as wash trading.

In its report, Seoul Newspaper said it had been informed by insiders of corruption at Coinbit months ago and that up to 99% of trading volume was "manipulated" on the platform.
Police allege wash trading at Coinbit had produced over 100 billion won ($84 million) in faked income.

The newspaper said it had put off reporting its findings until the raids at the request of the Investigation Department of the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
An accounting firm had reportedly refused to work with the firm after viewing its books.

Seoul Newspaper said it had seen the books and that 99% of recorded trades could not be associated with deposits or withdrawals.

Sberbank, the largest state-owned bank in Russia, is working with a major domestic airline company to introduce a blockchain-based ticket sale system.

Russia’s largest bank is reportedly collaborating with S7 Airlines on a new ticket sale platform that will enable corporate clients with instant settlement through smart contracts and tokens.

According to an Aug. 26 report by local newspaper Kommersant, the new system is planned to roll out in September 2020. This would be the first time virtual tokens are used for payment and settlement in Russia, the report notes.

As reported, the new system is only targeting corporate clients at the current stage of development. The blockchain-powered system intends to cut settlement time from as many as 10 days to just 20 seconds, representatives at Sberbank and S7 reportedly said.

According to Kommersant, the new ticket sales system uses a proprietary blockchain platform that allows companies to develop their own blockchain applications as well as create smart contracts. As such, S7 Airlines has already placed its blockchain ticketing app on the platform by Sberbank, Kommersant states.

A Bitcoin whale, who accumulated 9,000 BTC in late 2018, has sold after 22 months and two capitulation phases.

A Bitcoin (BTC) whale — an individual investor who holds a large amount of BTC — took profit after two years. Data from Whalemap suggests the whale purchased nearly 9,000 BTC in the third quarter of 2018.

The whale held on to the BTC for nearly 22 months, through two major capitulation phases. Bitcoin dropped to sub-$4,000 level twice, first in January 2019 and second in March 2020. The investor waited through both periods, ultimately selling at around $12,000.

Who said that bitcoin is no longer profitable?  

I confirm that payment has been received. Great job!

This kind of thing happens more often on lower quality platforms. This happened to me several times, but on poker-related platforms, in the end it all ended with the money withdrawn to me, but an unpleasant aftertaste remained.
In the crypto area, the most important thing now is reputation due to the fact that the competition is very high. In addition, almost all gambling platforms related to crypto are located on this forum, which allows you to receive instant feedback from users. This in turn makes them keep the quality label.

Yes, it's probably best to concentrate on online poker streaks right now. By the way, one of these series is currently taking place at party poker.

All the information that you mentioned is mostly noise, and it is already included in the calculation of the coefficient. Surely there are basic criteria that should be guided by when making a decision, little things will only distract.
In addition, if the bookmakers did not know how to correctly count the odds, they would have gone bankrupt long ago and closed.

Overall, I like that VR is developing non-stop. Looking at modern computer graphics it becomes difficult to imagine what the future holds for us. Nevertheless, virtual reality is still at a completely rudimentary level, it does not convey the full picture that we see in real life. It is quite obvious that this is due to the inferiority of current technologies. But I cannot imagine devices that can convey the full range of sensations in the real world. I think at the current stage there are enough sounds and realistic graphics.

I cannot agree with you. In my opinion, everything that happens in the world happens to one degree or another by chance. It's just that for us it looks like such an overview that it seems to us that targeted actions led to this.


What do you mean by an oppressive world? On the contrary, now there are fewer and fewer countries in the world where power is concentrated in one body or one person. Especially in America.
Decentralization of power is what democracy and freedom of any country should be based on. Different authorities must neutralize the human factor and errors in the conclusions of other structures.
On the example of dictatorial countries, we can see how damaging the centralized policy of states is.

Facial expression is important only in offline poker, while for correct understanding, you must each time look at what cards your opponent is playing, as well as what expression he has at that moment.
In fact, this is also a matter of skills.
However, I prefer to talk about online poker, as it provides more opportunities to play, and some poker rooms are discussed in this thread.
In online poker, mathematics is important to you, such unstable factors as facial expressions and behavior are absent, which somewhat simplifies the task of reading hands.

This is the only correct method. The opponent always has a certain range of cards that he will play with. Tighter players will have a starting hand range of 10% -25%, while recreational players can have 40% +. Your task is to keep in mind the approximate range of your opponent, and push off from him and not from the strength of your hand. It is a skill that can be developed. Obviously you won't be good at first, but with the right diligence, you can greatly improve your hand reading skill.

In order to fight against the gambling addiction of citizens, it is necessary to understand where the addiction itself comes from, what is its cause. There are people with a dependent personality type, they become dependent on many things. This is due to their emotions, which are dependent on external things, which as a result leads to addictions of various kinds. Whether it's alcohol, drugs, loveless love or gambling addiction. For such people, restrictions can only create a precedent for the development of addiction.

There is no point in creating external restraints in order to contain human gambling addiction. People must change themselves, otherwise they will always find ways to get around the restrictions.
In addition, such restrictions relieve people of responsibility for their actions, they begin to think that the reasons for their addictions are outside of them, while this is not so.

It's not about bad cards, but about understanding the game itself. You don't need to always have good cards in your hand in order to win, but you just have to try to figure out what's in your opponent's hand.
This is the key to victory.
You should start your poker training by understanding your opponent's ranges, which can be quite difficult without an extra off. However, by keeping an eye on the opponents' cards you see at showdown, you can plot their approximate ranges.
