It's not a good advice to ask for those financial advice on the Internet especially with a volatile crypto. Researching is a good way to know some casinos but what I did back then was just play on the most famous website in the forum and just go for it and see where it gets me and most of the time, it's pretty good and no issues has been faced during those times.

Yes it's going to help the country, isn't gambling industry a big money maker? Look at Macau, Monaco, and Las Vegas, they generate billions of dollars a year in taxes because a lot of people are gambling and they in turn make a lot of money. We all know that the roads and bridges won't be built if there were no taxes.

What do you mean by imagination and conspiracy theory though? I would say that you pretty much said that it isn't real. I do know that it is real because there are cases that people got caught fixing matches and racketeering, that's the reason why I know it's real.

That's a dangerous feature because if you think about it, people are always going to neglect that kind of feature and then the next day, they have zero funds left. Also, some people might lose more than just money especially the careless high rollers.

I think the people that will be confused is probably the type of fans that don't consider their favorite a loser even though they are utterly defeated. No matter what, they have to choose who to side.

What's the reason why it became an all Filipino match up? I am not gonna lie, I am pretty sure that Filipino fans are utterly divided right now because it's an all Filipino match. I would go for Donaire though as the Oubaali match up was a pretty good show of power for Donaire.

It's pretty funny how one website was able to do this to you OP, you seem pretty hardcore about losing your money to one website and now you want to burn bitcoin down?

Fixed or not, it really doesn't matter to be honest because in the end, they got what they need which is people watching the fight which is enough for them plus organized crime in 21st century is not that active anymore and the law enforcement agency will probably catch up to them.

I don't think so, there are some reported cases of these events and they aren't just public knowledge because the fighters involved just wants to keep it under wraps because they have a reputation to uphold. Just because you don't know anything or you don't know it exists doesn't mean that it isn't real.

We still have to be careful though because the ban doesn't mean that they are proactive on preventing scam websites, remember that scammers get crafty everytime there's a way to prevent their scams. Always DYOR and ask questions about the site, don't be gullible, if something is too good to be true, it probably is.

Next thing we know, Central America and South America is going to be a big hub for crypto activity. Also, not to mention that these countries are pretty socialist, I think anything that can help the people is welcome in this part of the world. Hopefully it really will be a domino effect as OP says so.

IMF will make their offer more attractive so the government of El Salvador is going to do the revoke of legal tender status of bitcoin, but I don't think that we have to worry too much about it because IMF will have to be at a disadvantage if they want to make the offer attractive.

Don't think the hurt will last a lifetime though, I am pretty sure that people are going to move on and the damages will always be repaired, remember that this is decentralized, no one can take away the power even if people are trying to take over via influence.

As long as people are believing him and he is still active on Twitter tweeting about his stuffs that he does then probably he still have a lot of power of the market, whether we like it or not.

No it's not a force of nature, anything man made isn't natural and bitcoin isn't going to be an exception to this rule. It's a tool and medium, not nature's gift. Also, you are just using analogies to compare bitcoin with organic things but that doesn't mean that bitcoin is a force of nature.

That's a bit debatable because if you hodl your bitcoin for long-term pretty sure that you will be able to hedge your wealth against inflation but if you are on a short-term then it becomes speculative so in a way, it's a bit of both.

That depends if you expect it at the back of your mind, I am pretty sure that it won't come as a shock to you since you have at some degree expected it. To be honest, if bitcoin were to go to that point, I am sure that I will be celebrating this because I plan to buy bitcoin when I have the money.

Probably the barrage of positive news could be blamed for the rise in prices, remember that El Salvador's declaration of bitcoin being a legal tender, I am pretty sure that it's a big one and besides that is Elon's declaration of bringing back the payment option because if 50% of miners are using renewable energy sources.

What I was talking about regarding expectation is the fact that some people are expecting something out of the realm of possibility. That's your call that the prices are going to go up this time around but your expectations could be wrong.

That's like the standard for a hodler in the first place, they should be able to hodl bitcoin for a really long time. Getting in the dips is just a bonus for long-term hodlers to accumulate at a really low price.

Exactly, expectation can really destroy your prospect when it's not the expected outcome. You are right about having back up plans but you need a really big amount of money to have a reliable back up plan.
