1821  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: (POLL) The most beautiful football jersey ever? on: March 31, 2020, 10:23:57 AM
My personal favourite over the years has got to be the Brazil national team.
But for this poll I’d have to go for Barcelona - iconic kit AND the last major European team to get a sponsor , I believe they managed to hold out until 2010/2011 ? before getting a sponsor ! Before that they had UNICEF for free for a couple of years - a class act and kudos to them .

Barcelona's football jersey is very iconic, the red and blue color really represents their logo exactly. If you see the red and blue in vertical stripes, the first thing that will come in to your mind is the Barcelona, even in any sports that I've watched, I see Barcelona as red and blue. The second to my favorite football jersey is from Mexico because of its aesthetic color combination, the mossy green, white and red makes it more iconic and is very eye-catching to the audience. I remember that my uncle once had this and he put it into auction and sell it to a certain amount of money which is big enough for a vintage football jersey. Hoping that they use vintage and iconic football jersey again in the next FIFA after this Covid-19 pandemic.
1822  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can crypto gambling be provably fair to regulators? on: March 31, 2020, 09:42:18 AM
Yes, its possible I remember hearing a similar discussion in bustabit or bustadice chat room (forgot which one) and they explained this kind of provably fair to one of their users that was curious. I think you can also find this topic being discussed in their main thread. There's positives and negatives to it but still possible afaik.

the what ? the verfication of bets  ? or as known as provaly fair system  ? and what is its negative side  ? i dont think it has but i can only say that its a good idea that they implement such system because this  is for their users to verify if the site is legit or not .

Verification of users are also important so it is necessary to implement it in all of the gambling casinos and site as people are really good at fooling people. Hackers should be detected if it entered a certain gambling platform, manipulator are the one who's very affected. Verification of bets, identity, and etc., of the customers should be strict so that fairness in gambling will stay in its casino. Working hard regulator manages to become more fair when it comes on giving service and managing our casinos so that all of the customers will also be comfortable and enjoyable.

online gamber will be more confident if a platform is provably fair than compare to not    . the topic is also on other gaambling forums and as well here too  .  there are explanations that have been laid out if how those stuffs work   .

It is perfect for this season as you can't go outside to gamble and many of us prefers using online gambling, customers online will enjoy and be satisfied as this gambling casino is very fair and it value customers rights to have a safer gambling experience. Everyone wants comfort while playing with their money so that gambling casinos should verify its customer so that scammers will not enter their platform. We don't understand the effort of the regulator because we don't see what's happening inside the gambling platform, the thing they make is not that easy to do most especially when you're in a wide and popular gambling platform.
1823  Economy / Economics / Re: What China is hiding from us and are they doing it to save their economy? on: March 31, 2020, 09:06:16 AM
I think all this is not excessive, everyone is starting to have prejudice against China.

China is really so suspicious, how come that their economy and stock market is not that affected if the virus originates from them? It is more likely that China planned this happenings around the world, if you're updated, you'll see that the number of recoveries in their country is greater than the cases as of now.

We are not directly blaming China for this virus, but if they have already created the vaccine, they should immediately make an announcement and inform all of the people around the world. It is not impossible for other people to have a prejudice against China if they are still not giving us some information how they can manage this Covid-19 virus in their country.  

China will do anything to save their faces. Oh no, I was reminded of a video of a young man from Wuhan who revealed how bad the China government was in handling the situation when the virus began to spread.

I don't believe with that, If you heard the news that the China built an emergency hospital in just 10 days, how is it even possible if China government wasn't handling the situation properly? Maybe that depends on the hospital or the attitude of the healthcare providers who handled them inside the hospital that's why he made the conclusion about their government not doing anything to help is countrymen. The 645,000-square-foot makeshift medical facility is not that easy to build but due to China's effective response to the outbreak, they made a way. The only thing here is that the China didn't inform us how they recovered a lot of patients immediately.

About the recent pandemic viral attack
I do not expect people to be thinking the price of crypto will increase in such time. Some people still do not know about bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as of today, some people still trade bitcoin for fiat because of the corona virus just to secure themselves or to treat the disease. This was the cause of the recent bear market in which investors were panic and sell their cryptocurrencies  for fiat.
I can see the most analysis want to relate the bitcoin's price crash with corona pandemic directly, which is far to be true in my opinion. We faced many crashes in the past, bitcoin is almost known by its huge volatility which leads more people to invest waiting the next pump. Volatility had always its reasons based on a variety of factors {mining difficulty, block reward,...}. But actually, all the sectors in global economy are falling down, some would reach the bottom within few months, while bitcoin still keep volatility ups and downs like it was before the crisis. And don't expect people to use crypto as a contactless system of paiement, there is already card banks and apps associated to bank accounts.
In our days,

I think somehow this virus really affect one's country from time to time as its transmission is progressively increasing. Some other countries can handle this stock market crash like China, they are the one who should be responsible for the virus because it originated from them but still their stock market is not that affected. The true impact of Covid-19 in cryptocurrency is good, no one can go outside, all of the payments and transactions are in a form of online or digital. Bitcoin really was made for that besides as a store of value, it is really help and effective as a mode of payment for our bills, goods, or other expenses. This crisis will help promote the advantages and effects of crypto in our market and that will result to a mass adoption. But still the price of bitcoin is still in recovery so we still need to manage our bitcoin if we need to sell or hold it for a long period of time.
1825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: TIPS FOR NEWBIE GAMBLERS ! on: March 30, 2020, 08:33:52 AM
Well, the best tip for those who have never gambled - keep doing so. Smiley
You may be a person with strong will, but when it comes to playing most of the people can't control themselves and it's not their fault, it is just human's brain chemistry.
I always say my friends that you go to casino to play, not to win.

Yes Gambling Addiction is a big problem. There are a lot of gamble treatment centers, but I highly doubt that it is treatable.



Based on my experience, as I started gambling, I tried to understand first the advantage and disadvantage of gambling so that I will know if I will try it or not. But as long as I understand how gambling works, I started to try some games like roulette, dice, and even sports betting. I experienced a lot of ups and downs during my gambling career and I'm not having any improvement or any income. The money that I've spent is just circulating in the casino, It's just a cycle. It's very hard to play if you're luck enough or not so you will just lose all you money and you have nothing to do but to go home feeling stressed. Gambling addiction can affect a lot of aspects, socially, mentally, physically and financially. For me, it is not that hard to overcome addiction because from the start, I tried to control myself so I'm prepared and ready when things go wrong. Treatment centers are not required if you are mindful of your doings and if you're wise enough.
1826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the safest crypto online games to start if you are a Newbie? on: March 30, 2020, 08:01:49 AM
Safest? Theres no such thing yet we know that in every game or gambling activity would really have that higher risk of losing money.
You are right. No safest gambling games, all have the risks and potential to lose. Even the games are easy to play, it doesn't mean to be easier winning the games. For example dice, it is easy and simple to play but to win it will be luck-based. It's hard to win for me, and no specific way to master it.

Simplest game? then i would surely go for dice,slots and roulette games yet you wont need any knowledge on how to play these games
Yes, dice/roulette/slots are the most recommended gambling games that most of the articles suggest to us. I've read many of them and found that games to play. And I've proven them as the easiest games to play as well.

As you seek for more information about gambling before you try it. You will noticed that all of the information will say that gambling is not a source of income. Results are unknown and you have no idea what will be the outcome if you play a certain gambling casino games. Gambling is risky to be exact and if you are willing to spend your money to gambling, then there's no problem with that as long as it doesn't affect the people surrounds you. Newbies will really be satisfied and interested at first if they see that the winnings in gambling are huge and they will urge more to gamble repeatedly, but as soon as they notice that it can also bring huge losses then that will start the stress and realization. Skill-based gambling will just reduce the probability of losing in the game and it is still not a 100% win rate for you. Plus, for beginners, you should try first the luck-based games for you to test and try your fate in gambling. Seek some advice to those professionals on how to deal with your emotion and self-discipline towards gambling.

With the society collapsing
Dude, society is not collapsing.  This is an outbreak of a virus that isn't particularly deadly, and it's only going to be a temporary thing.  Yes, it's having huge effects on the economy but I don't think this is going to spark massive unemployment for the long term--and I'm hoping the effects aren't too drastic in a year or so from now.

the whole world in chaos right now and we don't know what are waiting for us in 3-4 months and how many people will die in this situation by coronavirus and by not getting proper food and treatment
There are going to be more deaths from COVID-19, but compared to other causes of death that number is relatively small.  It isn't as though this strain of coronavirus kills everyone it infects.  Most people who get it feel like they have a cold, and this whole situation could have been much, much worse if it were a deadlier virus.  It'll take some months, but the world will get back to normal.

several decades ago, people kept savings worth several months of income. being out of work for a couple months would not mean economic collapse. fast forward to a society where most people live paycheck to paycheck and have zero savings. most small businesses can't survive shuttered for a month.

i would like to share your optimism but we need to exit the crisis stage first---flatten the infection curve, secure enough hospital beds and ventilators, etc etc. on the current path, the USA simply doesn't have adequate healthcare infrastructure for the projected hospitalizations.

for things to improve, the population needs to start taking the threat seriously. people are still throwing coronavirus parties, not wearing face masks in public, not heeding shelter in place orders. it's insane!

tbh, americans are pretty retarded---they obviously have little to no regard for vulnerable populations like the elderly. the projected deaths are getting higher everyday. most of those deaths are gonna be our parents and grandparents, all because of these arrogant assholes who think "it's only a cold, what does it matter"? and they go around spreading this extremely infectious virus exponentially through our communities.

trump downplaying the pandemic every step of the way for the last 2 months has worsened the crisis immeasurably. americans never took it seriously. they still aren't.

If you're in a third world country, you will really experience the true effect of economic crash during this time of crisis. Most probably, the economic debt of that country will increase and become higher until they can't pay instantly the amount that they borrowed. The only good thing here is that you will support and take care of your people as your country is fighting for the Covid-19 pandemic. Economy of US went down as the number of cases in their country is constantly and consistently increasing, the same with Italy, their stock market also crashes. Do you think that this is just temporary? Or it will permanently affect other country's economy? Hoping for all of the countries affected to recover and survive this crisis, physically, mentally, and economically. It is not that easy for a country to manipulate their economy instantly so it is a long way to go to recover.
1828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many people here would choose bitcoin as their form of payment? on: March 30, 2020, 06:51:47 AM
It depends on financial statuses and the ease of transacting in Bitcoin is ones home country. If I spent my income regularly and there is very little I can get in actual BTC currency, I would prefer to be paid in fiat or a portion in fiat and the other in BTC, rather than having to convert to fiat whenever the need arises.

It depends on the company that you're working for if they allow what you've said half portion of fiat currency and bitcoin. But what's the problem of converting to fiat? You can pay bills and expenses with the use of bitcoin for a less hassle transactions. During times like this, you are not allowed to go out so what do you think is the solution for that? That's why there are companies and businesses who accepts bitcoin as a payment, and bitcoin is a digital currency, besides of it being a store of value, it can also be used as a mode of payments.

My decision would also lightly depend on the organizations' relation of salaries to fiat, i.e, if salaries are permanently and averagely fixed in BTC values and would not be adjusted during a pump or a dump, I may consider getting my payment in Bitcoin.

Yeah, you should check first if the organization have the kind of attentiveness to that kind of idea. Some organizations are very strict and they just follow their rules and regulations without having any consideration to their workers. If I were you, I will choose bitcoin over fiat if you really want to have a bigger value. Also for you not to spend your money in some unuseful things and not be wasted. If you received bitcoin, it will just remain at your wallet and you can't spend it quickly because it will undergo so many process before you convert it into fiat currency.
1829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Fantasy sports options do we have? on: March 29, 2020, 09:49:58 AM
we have many betting websites which can operate similar like that.
When you say this, how are they operating similar to a Fantasy sports website? I know there's several websites like Fanduel which accept cryptocurrencies, but are limited in a number of options. It appears that several fantasy sports websites are also only accepting users from certain countries, or they are offering a "fantasy league" type system where you predict the scores over the season. Although, that's not exactly what I'm looking for. I think that could be part of it, but I'm looking specifically for drafting a team up, and chopping, and changing those as I please through the season while gaining points based on real word performances of the players selected.
Precisely, there is nithing like fantasy games. I mean, in my years of betting I haven't seen anything as innovative as it is. Though it catches controversy every now and then. But I believe fantasy sports are much more different from your typical betting sites since they needed strategy and critical thinking to profit. Unlike gamblings that could pay you off by just being lucky.
I dont like fantasy sports coz I am loyal with poker and casino. I will be sad if I don't play poker or casino because that is my hobby, to play poker and casino and also I really love the idea of getting paid through the use of these games. I know it may sound crazy but I think I cant live without poker and casino in my life. Here in gambling you also need strategy and critical thinking for you to win.

That's right, I still prefer playing poker instead of fantasy sports game. Poker requires a strategy and plan so that you will not have a higher risk of losing the game. Also it needs luck if your card is really good and if you are confident with your cards, then you should bet some amount that will satisfy your greed. If you lose even if your card is great, then you should stop playing it as soon as possible because you're not lucky that day. That's the advantages of playing skill-based gambling casino than luck-based game gambling casino. You can decrease the probability of losing if you have cards to manipulate so that you when you bet, you have some idea if you will lose or win the game. There are a lot of games similar to poker who are skill-based gambling casino.
1830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: E-gambling on: March 29, 2020, 08:58:19 AM
Some people might not know these sites but I think you don't need to post this since a lot of gamblers here already know where to go. Another thing is that there are a lot of signature campaigns here on gambling sites, people could just click on it.
+1 on this because there are too many Signature banners worn by accounts here that they can easily click with legitimacy.
though some of the sites mentioned are already active in this forum for long time now.

i just wanna add some of my favorites like

Fortune Jack
777coin
Bitvest.io
CryptoGames.net
Bistler


and many more to mention...

FortuneJack casino is really good as I'm using it for how many years, maybe its 4 years since 2020. It keeps improving as the users or its customers is also increasing from time to time. When this casino have some problems in its platform, it troubleshoot those error in their system that's why it is reliable. Also as it give its customers a good service, it also increase its reputation so that for me I found this casino very accommodating for our money and its customers. It is also very attentive as the management always check the reviews, feedback of the customers to know what FortuneJack casino needs to improve more so that its customers will stay in the. The main reason I stay here in FortuneJack is that it has a lot of features that you can see in some other gambling casino. The withdrawal of your money is less hassle and very basic as it is the most important thing while playing gambling, the safety of your account.

I remember the time when my friend first introduce me to try FortuneJack if I want to experience gambling but I'm not that knowledgeable enough that time. FortuneJack is new that time and there are many features that's not yet been updated so if you're a newbie you will have a hard time accessing it. But as I learn the basics and techniques of gambling, I can now easily manipulate my money and my strategies in gambling. Thank you for my friend who enlightened me in gambling so that I can gambling with myself. Also as the time goes by, FortuneJack made a lot of updated and new features that's what keep me stay in using this casino. It never get outdated and the volume of customers is constantly increasing and it is very interesting to read those feedback that this online casino have. Most especially if you're bored inside your house during the lockdown, you can play this so that somehow you entertain yourself.
1831  Economy / Economics / Re: Chinese Strategy? on: March 29, 2020, 08:24:57 AM
America and Europe's stock market crashed but the China's stock market did not? Why the hell it didn't crash amidst the emergence they are having with the virus? Are they prepared for this?

The Shanghai Composite did drop over 15%. The losses were much worse in the US because the prognosis is much worse. China is expected to make nearly full economic recovery in Q2. In contrast, the US economy is going to contract in a huge way, a 10-20% contraction or more. The market is pricing that in.

There is no doubt the US was much worse prepared than China, or really any of the Asian countries that have dealt with past pandemic scares like SARS.

Did China sacrificed its people knowing they got billions of them just to cripple their enemy's economy?
A new type of war?

What is the point of this war? To kill off the Americans who buy so many Chinese-exported goods? These conspiracy theories make no sense. There is no motive and the risks to China (due to the high infectiousness) would be too great.

US really is experiencing a dropped in its stock market because of the effect of this virus. As the number of cases in US suddenly increasing, still the government doesn't implement a forced quarantine but they just implement travel ban for European and Asian countries. Donald Trump really underestimate what this virus can do to a country, it really destroy a lot of population, economy, and etc. His racist mindset put its citizen into death as he is not that scared of the virus. Although the virus starts in Wuhan, China, its stock market is still stable and the recovery is high and there's no new cases in their country. Imagine how did that happen if the virus really started from them. I think that the countries that will cause world war III are China and Us, they are competitors in many aspects and people have nothing to do with that but to suffer from the effects of their struggle.
1832  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We are having the difficult time, are you still a Bitcoin HODL? on: March 29, 2020, 07:53:25 AM
If you are new to blockchain, will you consider buying bitcoin these days?  Huh
When I was new in the cryptocurrency that was in year 2017 which is Bitcoin price was pretty high price back then. I didn't convince to buy yet I'm looking for a way how to earn it free and while doing that I'm studying and searching how Bitcoin price acts in the crypto market. And now I fully understand which is a good buying point of Bitcoin and I think this is the right time. But as your question is if I'm a newbie, I would definitely have full research and understand before embracing crypto.

If you are an experienced expert, will you keep the bitcoins in your pocket?  Huh
Of course yes, I already know that there will always resistance to Bitcoin price every time it will drop. So I think buying and accumulating Bitcoin at a cheaper price is the best decision. You're not wise enough if you will sell it even though you know that you will have a loss. Just keep holding, because Bitcoin is good for long term holding.

Always be hopeful for bitcoin because since 2017, it gives you a positive point of view towards cryptocurrency. Expect what is unexpected so that you'll not get disappointed, but if you are really passionate and willing to prove that bitcoin is a store of value, then it depends on your decision. I choose to hold my bitcoin no matter what happens because I know that my predictions are somehow accurate compared to other predictions that I've been read in other thread topics. If there's an opportunity to buy bitcoin in a cheaper amount, don't hesitate to but some if you are confident to your predictions. Patience is also a factor that's why many people still hold even if they had a huge losses in the past few weeks when the bitcoin's price had dropped. Many are disappointed and were shocked and due to the covid-19 pandemic, they are forced to sell it for a cheaper amount. All we need to do is to promote bitcoin online while people are more focused and spending their time in social media during this lockdown.
1833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Betting Double After Losing is Really a Good Decision? on: March 28, 2020, 03:56:13 PM
In short, is the martingale strategy in betting in such gambling games such as roulette and dice do really is effective strategy? For example, what if you are winning, and every time you win, you double your bets, and basically apply the martingale strategy, which is to double your bet when you lose.

Would that make a huge impact to your funds? I haven't tried it so far, but for me, I don't that is really effective as if we lose, we aren't really going to win right after, because there is still a possibility of losing once again.

It depends on what kind of game you're playing. Is it skill-based gambling or luck-based gambling? Because the Martingale Strategy is not applicable in all games. As different kind of gambling platform have also different results so you should be careful in making decision before playing. The probability of winning in gambling is not uncertain and for sure it is small compared to the probability of losing. If you will gamble, you need to be strategic and you good decision making in order for you to dominate your next move.

To be honest, no. As you use this strategy for a long time, you will be quite determined to get back your losses and take profits. Another thing is that this kind of strategy is so stressful to your money since the more you lose, the higher your bets will be and you never know how losing streaks will hit you. It is effective to some that modified it, but in case, it is not that good since I don't have that good money to start with.

It is applicable if you gamble in skill-based casino because somehow you can control and decrease the probability of losing and you can increase the probability of winning so that if you double your bet, the chances of winning is manipulated. While in luck-based casino, the winning percentage is constant and you can't do something about that but to trust yourself. That's why it is very risky to double your bet and that results to another loss. If you're lucky enough, it is okay, but luck is uncontrollable and unexpected so be careful in making decision so that you will not get stressed and regret doing the Martingale Strategy.
1834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcointalk has been blocked in Russia because of Gambling advertisement on: March 28, 2020, 03:09:36 PM
if bitcoin is not approved in Russia (again, an assumption on my part) then it stands to reason the authorities will block any sites related to bitcoin such as the forum.

Your assumption is wrong. The Russian authorities advertise Bitcoin in controlled media 24/7. They also use Bitcoin and another crypto in their corruption schemes. For example, to steal natural gas and electrical power.

They are just against on the gambling itself because Russia knows that bitcoin should be spent like that. Russia uses crypto in their economy, they know how to use and proper manipulate cryptocurrency so that they are against on gambling platform as it is a home for scammers. Russian Authorities are really strict when it comes to money and resources that's why they appreciate the true value and proper uses of crypto other than gambling. They banned gambling advertisement to stop the use of crypto in many gambling platforms but instead, they want them to use our own fiat and not crypto because crypto is only for necessary and important things like larger transactions and etc.
1835  Economy / Economics / Re: Help of cryptocurrency in globalization. on: March 28, 2020, 02:37:23 PM
Even without the existence of crypto, globalization has long started within each country. Just the fact that international groups among countries have been formed is proof that each and every country is operating, or at least, wishes to operate in an international scale. Crypto can be one aspect to achieve/prosper in terms of globalization, but it's just a drop in terms of its level. But, in all honesty, operating in an international scale doesn't mean agreeing with a few countries objectives/purpose. In the end, globalization would prosper, but only based on how individual countries do their thing. And, if one country goes up, one country would surely go down, that kind of cycle. I mean, I'm pretty sure we all understand how hungry for power countries are right?
but globalization presume all countries move a little bit towards each other. So every country should become a little less hungry for power each day and each year. So we could meet global currency one day

I really love your confidence! But unfortunately the leaders don't think in similar line. For them, power is more important than anything else! For example, you look at Russia, India, China and US. All of these countries are rules by such leaders who believe in achieving supremacy even at the cost of human lives. So there's no way, they will become less hungry, at least in our lifetime!

Bitcoin is just a currency system controlled by none. It doesn't have to power to bring all nations under one umbrella! 

Each countries have their different point of views or perspective about cryptocurrency and we can do something about it. Continuous promotion of crypto is useless if we don't make some actions in when the government can notice its benefits in the economy and to the community. We also need to practice proper manipulation of crypto so that people will really see the advantages of crypto in our life. If you handle your cryptocurrency wisely, it will reflect into your personality and people will really see that cryptocurrency can influence one's life. Also the government should notice the advantages of crypto in many transactions and how it moves in the market.

In China and US, they allow cryptocurrency that's why their economy is stable and slightly improving and you will notice that their markets are also in a good state. It is possible that crypto especially bitcoin will make a great impact to globalization after it reaches mass adoption around the world. It just needs support and recognition to those who are using it and to those who change the way their mind thinks when they talk about investment and profitability.
1836  Economy / Speculation / Re: Guys avoid panic sell... on: March 28, 2020, 01:42:00 PM
But until now we don't know yet the main reason why the crypto start dumping. Maybe because of the lockdown is one of the reason because people needs money so what they have right now is to sell but I hope not all their assets was sell.

Maybe it is related to crypto, but we don't have any proof yet. I came to the conclusion because they have the same timeline when they both occurs. People really need money just to survive the quarantine and it depends on the people if he really need the money so bad. I know that the opportunity for the bitcoin will be wasted and using it in necessities and cheaper prices will be a huge loss, but don't starve yourself to death because of that mindset during this crisis. Most especially those workers that can't go to work have nothing to feed for their family.

Yes because once this outbreak gone everything will back to normal and I hope the bitcoin and the altcoins starts again increasing but we really don't know sure yet what happens after this.  Panic selling is not helping people but if a investors don't have choice to sell their coins because they need money right now because they don't have have work because of the lockdown it's still good if they buy their needs.

But when do you think this Covid-19 virus will end? We don't have any certain predictions when will this pandemic will end, Unless our healthcare worker provides or developed the vaccine immediately. In reality, it will take 1 or 2 years for the vaccine or cure to be discovered or invented and if that's the case, you will just waste your time waiting for so long that you have any idea when will the virus come to an end. That's why as much as possible, spend some of your money for your necessities and still hold some bitcoin. You will not sell all of your bitcoin, you will just use some amount for your own sake.

I hope those people too who do not need money or enough money right now don't sell their coins because of simple holding your coins your helping crypto community to recover and also your money too.

Yes, if they have enough money to sustain theirselves during this outbreak, then it is quite good not to sell their bitcoin. Panic selling is just for an emergency purposes and not as a strategy. Let's help each other and support bitcoin and other cryptocurrency no matter what happens. Be mindful, be wise, and always take care of yourself and your loved ones above all. Prioritize health over anything in this world.

I agree, they are related topics so more than likely you can get similar answers from those mentioned threads.

But to answer the OP. I think for those gambling addicts that who are in the elite class, they can always find a way on how to gather with their elite friends and play. But with fear of contracting the virus, they might think twice on doing that. and for those small to medium rollers, if they are playing in physical casino before, now, they might look into online gambling as there are a lot of online sites to choose from. So this pandemic will drive a huge spike in online gambling activities. But for those who can't afford, this will be the time of reflection with their lives and maybe finally quit gambling for the betterment of their own selves.

Beginners are very greedy and they are the one who are most prone of being addicted to it. Well, every gamblers came to the part when they enjoy playing gambling as they think that it will be a good source of income. Everyone experiences being interested to gamble any time they want because most of the beginners are experiencing "beginners luck". After they suffer from a huge loss, that's the time that they will reflect and understand the reality of gambling. The reality where gambling is just for an entertainment purposes and shouldn't be taken as a profession or job. This crisis will let them think and realize the true effect of gambling in their money, and this is also the chance for them to stop and focus more on other valuable things other than gambling such as spending time with family, watching movies, investing for a business and etc. If you really want to gamble and you can control yourself, you already practice your self-discipline, you can limit the money that you will spend, that is favorable and you can try playing online gambling casinos moderately.

If bitcoin is made for times like these why is everyone selling at a time like this?
China quarantined fiat FFS. 
This tells me 100% BTC is only a financial purpose and not a practical purpose overall.

Just venting a little. This selloff is nuts.

Bitcoin is not made for times like this. Bitcoin is made for financial crisis. Collapse of central banks.  Bitcoin is also not ready to replace fiat at this moment. So even if in half year time central banks collapse I dont see that Bitcoin will be useful replacement.  

Bitcoin function also because of its convenience and performance to a lot of transactions in the market. Also imagine how big your profit is if you invest at this volatile coin, that's why it is being compared to a gold because of its ability to store value. Bitcoins should stay as a digital currency and not a fiat currency because fiat is more handy and practical to use while bitcoin is useful if it involves a huge amount of money for a larger transactions. The reason why they sell even if it is necessary to exchange bitcoin to buy their needs, they sell because they value their greed over their lives. Those whales still think of a profit even though it is uncertain when will bitcoin be recovered from huge losses, and they prioritize bitcoin when their life is at risk.

What happened yesterday and what happened last year is totally normal. Same can continue this weekend and next week. It can or not. We will see. On long term all this is good for Bitcoin since it slowly destroys central banks.  Good things for Bitcoin are not just that price of Bitcoin increase. Good things are that people talk about Bitcoin and that they use it.

Definitely, bitcoin is not only talks about money, it is about how people will adapt to this digital currency. Hoping that more people will know and understand the value of crypto in the market as it is really the most famous and most used cryptocurrency for investmens. Continuously promotion of bitcoin on simple things will let us give more knowledge and possible good things to happen if we achieve our goals with bitcoin. Let's just predict and create strategies so that we can be prepared and prevent being stress to its downward movement in its price. According to the saying "Just let things play out, what's supposed to happen will happen and we also need to accept the fact that our life is in control and wait for the right moment for bitcoin to happen.

Almost all the sports have been postponed. There is no matches left for betting on sports. What are gamblers(sports) doing exactly now? I know it is very boring days. Locked down in home, no matches to gamble. Are you switching to other casino?

All we are doing here are just watching the latest development on TV and the internet, because the infected are growing almost every hour, and this has become a big threat to our economy, I'm playing from time to time but the biggest time I allocate is watching the news here in our locality and our country.

For the meantime, I try to gamble online with poker but not that much, unlike before. I play poker only when I'm bored just to entertain myself if I miss playing gambling outside, but due to this quarantine, I just stay here inside. Also I prioritize spending much time with my family because this is the right time to appreciate and express your love for your family. If this Covid-19 ends and everything comes back to normal, you will become busy again to your job and it will be hard for you to find some time for your family. So as this quarantine is continuously implemented, be productive inside your house and make yourself busy to prevent boredom and stress. Make yourself healthy and always remind your family to eat healthy fruits and take care of themselves from the deadly virus Covid-19.

I think the problem with people nowadays is that they are too paranoid about government authorities getting emergency powers even if it's approved by their Congress or allowed in their Constitution . I don't know if that is the result of getting used to so much democracy. I think the emergency powers granted in times of crisis like COVID-19 has some restrictions to avoid authorities from abusing it.

While it is still early it is better to follow the rules and law of the government about the spreading of the virus because most of the people today are now staying at their homes and already bought a lot of foods and things they need like the mask and alcohol because the outbreak are still exists and also we are looking forward to the front and backlines that will still protect the economy on and also as a person it is better to stay at home enjoy with your family because of this and if you have a family member on the frontline always love them because we can tell until the virus are still gone.

Definitely, the government have a better plan for us and we should follow what government tell us to do. It is for the safety of every people to prevent ourselves to the virus and also slower the transmission of it from one person to another person. Emergency power is required during times like this, so that people will be disciplined and help the government overcome this crisis. Let's just support and help our government instead of saying something useless, say something that will not help for the greater good. Also take care of yourselves so that you will not get infected, because most of our frontliners are already tired and they also have families that are waiting for them to come home. Don't be stubborn, stop being against the government because our life is at risk. Simple rules and simple regulations, do not go outside, and isolate yourself if you experience some symptoms.
