His level of understanding in gambling could differ from what you think. PS4 contains interesting games like soccer. He'll enjoy being the controller. Not just sit back and watch television, while thinking of his bets. He has minimized his gambling addiction by this change. But, what then will replace his PS4 addiction? Op is right, he should endure and treat the addiction at once. Moving from one addiction to another, isn't a nice idea for any gambler. His productivity and time will still be affected, if he gets no medical attention. When recommending this to your friend, don't just watch them end that way. Think of ways of providing a therapy, that can better their behavior. How long would he sit on the gaming screen. Would he remain on that for how long before he's exhausted or tired of playing PS. Added to the fact he doesn't expect any money, despite giving out about 20Usd every month. What matters is saving up other people's money by mentoring them to become good managers. The advantage of such a redirection of focus can change the person to think better. Video games help our brain to think faster and better. The only disadvantage I can found about this is that, the player can still engage in gambling with other PS4 players. Such gambling is still addictive. Doing such thing, recommending your friend, being there should be crucial. To see and learn more on life. Because they'll need constant change of interesting activities until they stop gambling. For such a person, staying away from gamblers of all sort, will help the player change his thoughts. And get more productive with his time.

In gambling satisfaction is not guaranteed. If we are to follow your advice it's very true. At some point, he won 280 usd. Is it not a trick to keep him? because if he didn't win such amount, his fun will be pruned. With that win he spent more time gambling, until he lost all. After wagering about 350 usd, he got 280usd in return, he's not profiting. Hence, he needs to profit, and it looks as if it'll be possible, with such win. And if he didn't win such an amount he may not have gambled more. The house rewarded him more time, by giving him a win. Even the house gamble with the wins. Although, almost impossible that the gambler will leave after winning that amount. It's like a friction that pushes the player to continue staking more of the money. But, if he had left, the casino will be on a short of 280 usd and the player short of 70usd there about. Which is a fair play. Considering the fun from the game, the gambler shouldn't be sad for not winning. It's also important to watch out for the house, as gamblers. Because they need money to settle bills. Therefore, a player have to be prepared before gambling money. Or he'll be pinned to play all his funds chasing losses. When a person is not winning, they'll need to re strategize. The purpose of it is that, losing continuously makes the game bored. As a game that doesn't require much knowledge to play, they should be a moment when the player wins. If the player keeps losing then the casino, is a hard to win casino. Despite the notion on casinos getting back the whole money, like in the above example. Still, players are meant to be entertained with those time intervaled wins. So that they'll feel lucky and happy, and come back to play more. To some players, any money wagered into gambling will be exhausted, depending on their personal reasons. While others find way of making extra profits, that can be used to gamble next time. Thereby using their profits to fund gambling, and saving up their other business income. It could be detrimental to the person's financial growth, spending money meant for their enterprise on gambling. Big winners, should always channel the money into good use. They can be used to gamble, while saving up our other sources.

I agree with your statement. The market doesn't seem centralized. Although I'm not in the agricultural sector, but from my observations, money can set up a very large farm able to supply huge amount of food to the society. They're still cheap foods. Increase in demand increase in price. Decrease in demand decrease in price. Decrease in price increase in demand. The market is controlled by the buyers and sellers using price as a tool. The expensive foods, are most served food in the country. Almost every household or restaurant must serve or eat such food. Rice is common in Africa and the price keeps increasing. Foods like cocoyam is not quite common and not served in most households. That makes it cheaper than rice. The money used in purchasing a bag of rice can purchase a whole lot of cocoyam. I'd say that the perishable foods are cheaper than non perishable foods. Due to the low supply of electricity in some parts of Africa. They cannot preserve perishable goods that's why they go for non perishable goods like rice. Thereby increasing the price of such foods; rice, beans, garri etc. Since, these foods are going back to a diminishing return, due to much farmers and consumers focusing mainly on such food. Its production gets difficult, and Africans hardly get a diminishing return on a utility. They'll never get tired of eating rice. Hence, if they'll want to reduce the price of a commodity like rice. A good number of the citizens should stop eating rice. The price is controlled by the seller and the buyer. Not just the seller. The buyer can decide to give the utility a break. Such can't be found, in some food. If people get encouraged to eat some extincted foods, they'll still get them cheaper. Perishable foods like Potatoes sell for a very cheap amount because the production is higher than the demand. The problem with the people is that they've given all authority to the government, that they forget to figure out their roles in changing the society.

Yes, people possess those qualities; playing, very well, more than four games. But, those who focus mainly on one game can outdo them in that particular game. Because the time allocated in playing different games, if used to maintain a single game, they'll be more progress, In such game. Over the multi talented player. That doesn't mean one wins more than the other. They could be rounding up at a specific amount of profits. The more experienced player still got to lose. Despite supervising the game for multiple years. Similarly, the multi-talented player is expected to win too in all different games, a fraction that could amount to enough money. Those who are not experienced could be missing out on the profits playing multiple games brings. We all are expected to lose, regardless of the method we apply. Hence losing is not a method, because we don't plan to lose, when engaging into different games. I only expect the one game focused player to advance quickly in the game than any multi game player. And the disadvantage of playing a single game is that the multi game player gets a diverse fun. They can communicate or participate with slot, and poker players. I enjoy playing different games, and also maintain my loses. It's all based on luck, the kind of card rank a player has, will determine the strategy he'll use in the game. It doesn't mean anybody cannot play, just that they chose to focus on a single game. As one day could be their lucky day as well. Not every player can endure the boredom of playing a single set of games for long time. They'll like to switch and learn new things. At least the few knowledge on the game can place him within a group of poker game players.  

Yeah, It's all over everywhere, clipboard virus used to take away people's funds unknowingly. The causes of such a virus is downloading apps recklessly to our device, where we hold crypto. It's crucial we mind the app downloaded to our devices as they could contain malware. There is an increase in security breach on the internet. Checking the address isn't all needs to be done. Maybe someday we won't be able to go through the address properly, before forwarding the funds. I'd suggest that users after noticing an attack like that. Taking away irrelevant apps or files from our device is encouraged. However, attackers have multiple means to con internet users, especially in the cryptocurrency niche. Aside from the techniques exposed by OP, the list goes on and on. But, phishing is one dangerous method, and it could be dangerous, when we are not observant of the URL of the site we visit. This kind of scam isn't simple to notice initially, that's why people still fall for it. Those other methods are relevant, but can be suspicious at a point, depending on the scam player.  Calling people claiming to be their financial institution can stair suspicions, if the receiver understands the trick. The scammers phone number may not be similar to that of the institution and the professionalism may not match that of an employed customer care in the institution. Most institutions, boldly announce that they don't call or ask for sensitive information from their customers. Unless the user doesn't follow diligent research process, the could fall victim for such a scam. Unlike phishing, it's just so difficult to notice. 

What is it to gain if not having a record of how much we spent in gambling? Other than that, gamblers that practice it will have better control over their gambling expenses. As the record can help them think better while gambling. I've not done that for gambling expenses. But, can remember doing it for other financial platforms. I think the difference is not quite different from not putting down a record of our gambling activities. For economists they can make a thing of those records and make huge profits from savings and calculated gambling moves. I commend gamblers that keep records. It's a good thing, even, just for the record. Reading through the past, facilitates good gambling. When we lose continuously we can see it often and think of a way to fix it. Or look for other casinos or games where the odds are not forced against the player. It can also add to the fun! looking back in time on how much you've spent on gambling and their worth now. Buying power. It's a nice memory. Although, if the journey didn't end well, it could be a sad one. Hence, even with the record, we still need to apply our senses. There is no gain recording losses. The record gets interesting when the win is more than or averaged to the losses. The records can be beneficial or important in legal cases as evidence. The factors that consists a bad gambler doesn't include keeping record or not. It's not a business. Unless, a professional gambler. He can decide to turn gambling into business. Yet most of the Professionals don't have to keep records, they're not used to doing it. And that doesn't stop them from winning.

Keeping gambling a secret is a self decision. The status of the player in the society changes the perspective of people on his gambling attitude. People know the good gamblers, got controls and behaves well. Proven track record. Those who hide their gambling activity still depend on their behavior. Before society starts investigating. Whether online or offline gambling they'll figure it out. An addict whose complex bad behavior in the society discomfort the people. They'll be forced to take action. What matters is our societal position as a gambler. Gambling doesn't mean living outside the world. Gamblers have fun with their loved ones, provide for their needs, and still keep their family clean from troubles. The bad players always takes the side of the society. And every gambler seen as bad in the society doesn't mean it's true. Responsible gamblers don't have to feel bad about informing people about being a gambler. They'll also see that the gambler is living a good life. Unlike the addicts who can't control the gravity of gambling recklessly. And if they publish their wins, it also depends on a personal relationship, before the winner lends out his money. People who give us pleasure and joy will always have a place in our life. Hence it's difficult to turn them down. Without getting that feeling of being a bad person. Through them or personally. Depending on personal behavior. Even when they're two gamblers in family, the better gambler in behavior and self control gets a different treatment from the reckless gambler. Not informing people about our gambling activity is also a quality of a good gambler. But, it's still similar when we tell people about our gambling habit as a responsible player. I'd say that it all relies on behavior and attitude of the player towards the society. Not every family will be related to a family where a gambler squandered their economy in gambling. Hence, such a gambler, may not have met anybody who is against their gambling lifestyle.

It's interesting to follow the way our finances work. How a person manage their money should be abstract against another. The idea of going for a gambling break is fine. It'll enhance the player's gambling experience. And prepare them for the next move. Depending on the amount won. A player shouldn't go for a break on every gambling wins. It's also a good idea to continue playing until the duration meant for the gambling vacation is over.  A player that sets out 3 weeks for gambling only stops when that 3 weeks elapsed. Regardless of the amount of money or profits they've made. Generally, I accept the idea,but the syntax, I may not. Not every professional gambler do not understand how the loosing streak work. The money management is crucial, thereby maximizing profits. I'll personally wish for more wins while playing until the duration set aside elapse. That's a real gambling experience. Win or lose. Stopping immediately after a big win to take a rest, is like a winning football team quitting the game because they're winning.  The winner and the loser continue playing until the 90 minutes is over. There we'll find the true winner. People who fall for your point "betting all wins", most times belong to the win and run category. As they'll be back soon to spend the gambling money on betting. Following the game to the end, will give us a sigh of relief and also the outcome will determine how long we'll spend before coming back to gamble. The idea is great for every player to devise a personal positive steps to follow after winning expenses. The point is, the money will be spent. According to our wants. The money will be used alongside gambling. They'll play and at same time engage in other fun activities.

It's quite obvious that people love to gamble on what they understand how it'll end. The analysis of women football can be poor and risky for any gambler to stake games. Just like the recent slapping competition. I have no other reason for not betting on women sports. Although I watch them play. But it seems like a joke to me, seeing 12: 0 in a football match. That alone has belittled the value I had for women football, if I had any. Women play well in games like basketball, but most gamblers don't wager money on their sports. As it's not certain what can be the outcome. Unlike in men's game, the player can be certain or sure of what could it be, even though they're not sure.  Most spectators don't view women sports, and only hear it on news. I'm not used to watching women play games. That's why it always escape or never crosses my mind to gamble on women sport. But, I see the interest of men growing about women sports. Yet it can't be compared to the gambling activities happening during the men's games. This could be the reason why it seems like no gambler plays or stake games on women games. Some players do put funds on women games, not me. I've not done that. If I follow the games of women and understand few strong teams; technique, moves, and idea. I can gamble on women football. With my spare cash. And also, forget about the funds, it'll just be for trying sake. The predictions from people who may not be aware of the team playing, can be a wrong choice of prediction. I rarely know the team in the game, and how they've been helping to entertain viewers.  I think the lesser attraction or popularity of women's games compared to man, is the main reason why people don't think of joining women games in their bank roll.

This example or question is for sport gamblers. The other kind of gamblers like slot players have no reason to wait for the wins. It plays out immediately and everyone would know their fate. Hoping or planning on some specific amount of money always ruins the day for the person, when the money bounce back as a result of one wrong move or prediction. Talk to him about minimizing how he thinks on his about to win gambling money. Stressing our mental health, with whatever reason, especially a constant thought on the losses is detrimental to the brain.  Disappointments creates a bad memory on the brain. And can endure for a long time. The more the player worries on his money the expressions he makes won't look genuine.  The anger can motivate the player to pursue his losses and end up failing to win again. I'll keep wondering why the game cuts by a single game. Imagine the fantasies on his head, during the successful winning of the other teams he chose. On the other flip, what is to come by losing it with just a single game, can be emotionally annoying and stressful. Thereby affecting the mentality of the gambler. Lecture him, OP, about how lucky he is, that soon he'll win big. Don't blame him or discuss about his mistakes. In such situation, the player, should be attended to with kind words. Discouraging words are not encouraged. Executing such a behavior after losing a game doesn't show the spirit of gambling in Op's friend. Also, greed causes the defaulting of a gambling technique. Placing 1$ to win 2k dollars. He assumed the ownership of the wins, not remembering how much he staked on the match. Explain to him how frugal a gambler he is towards staking money. Whenever we notice an unbearable or unfamiliar behaviors from a close friend. So, that he won't take a bad decision, which can hurt more their emotions.

I don't think it's a nice idea to finance somebody's gambling habit. The supporter won't be happy losing money on another player's predictions. Gambling is made for players to participate and watch luck play out on their side. If people now sponsor gamblers to play games, then I'll assume it's on a mutual level. Depending on the agreement. A good number of people wants to earn big through gambling. And initiatives like financing a friend may not be questioned. If the person is assured of winning big. When that doesn't happen, the friendship will end up in trouble. People do it, yes. But not for long. Players must learn to gamble themselves. Most games requires no skill to play, no good reason should convince a person on taking this action. As the pain goes directly to the owner of the money, not the gambler. Financing other people is mainly on things we can't do, like programming, marketing etc. Not gambling. Even when these skilled people don't get our job done the way we want it, we get angry. Professional gamblers may be a good choice, but never have I seen a skilled gambler seeking to gamble with another person's money. If the player claims to be an exceptional game predictor, why can't they earn big themselves and play with their money. Or maybe take it as a loan, and fund back immediately they win the game. Then continue playing with their profits. Periodically endangering our funds on gambling is fine and we'll have ourselves to blame, when things don't work out. Unlike spending it on somebody else, the blame redirects to them on the long run of no successful predictions. I'd rather be tagged a bad friend than to intentionally fund a gambler, hoping to earn commissions from their winnings. What if they don't win? He'll still expect me to hand over more funds. It's better the player find a way to make money and sponsor his gambling lifestyle.

I followed how to set up a bitcoin pos using lnbit and figured out that it's an interesting process. Read through some libraries that formed the executing plans of the Lnpos. So, I delve into the crucial tools, which helps the functionality of a bitcoin Lnpos. I'll be looking at the engine of an Lnpos. Arduino and auduino esp32 board. These two programs serve as the Processor of the pos. Every other Library is downloaded to them.



The Arduino gets connected to the board via USB, and configure the board's processor, using different lnbit libraries. These Lnbit compatible libraries get installed to the Arduino through the IDE library manager. They're multipurpose. It can be used to set up new unique projects other than bitcoin. But it might execute single purposes like "autoconnect" which purpose is for the Lnpos to easily connect to wifi through the "autoconnect menu" here is an example of its root URL http://{localIP}/_ac Eight libraries were installed to the Auduino IDE library to power the lnpos functionality. With M5stack kit pocket computer and a detachable charger. Autoconnect collaborate with two other libraries, page builder and Json to effectively execute its purpose on the lnpos.

The autoconnect menu controls the settings; disconnect, resetting etc of the Lnpos wifi connection. Autoconnect saves the SSID and password into the flash of ESP module to maintain an automatic connection of the Pos to the Wifi. Hence, with the help of autoconnect the POS don't need to submit password to a specific wifi connection all the time.

Page builder is an additional library responsible for creating HTML for ESP8266WebServer. It inherits request handler from the ESP8266WebServer or Webserver library. Page builder is invoked from ESP8266WebServer/WebServer in response to HTTP request. Hence autoconnect is united with these Esp8266webserver and webserver class for ESP32. Which facilitates the implementation of the web interface constituting of the WLAN for ESP8266/ESP32 WiFi connection. The Pos operator can use his smartphone to input wifi password on the web interface at run time.

Arduino Json With Json custom webpages can be embedded into autoconnect. The custom webpage can be embedded in the sketch as a fixed string or can store in an external file such as spiff.

These three Libraries above controls the internet operation of the Lnpos. Below we'll be looking at more Libraries and how they contribute to the operation of the bitcoin pos.

QR CODE is a library for generating Qr codes to be scanned on the screen of the M5stack Arduino compatible device used as the POS machine. For this library to work on your program you'll have to install or attach it to the arduino library directories.

Base64 library encodes the partially signed bitcoin transactions. Looking at the code, Arcbtc included all the characters that makes up Base64; 0-9 A-z upper and lower case


Ubitcoin or micro-bitcoin controls the transactions, private keys, public keys, parsing and signing PSBT etc. Everything needed to set up a hardware wallet is contained in this library. Including hashing algorithms. WIth this library you can build your own hardware wallet using the appropriate esp32 board. After scanning the QR code on the bitcoin pos, deposited fund is under the control of this library. Using this example You'll see how it generates private keys from the recovery seed, generate a random recovery seed on https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ and check the master key, the account private key and public key.

keypad is a library incharge of the keys used to operate the LNpos. It can be found on the Arduino IDE library manager for easy installation of the library into your arduino. Search for Keypad on "manage library" then install. Below is how the keypad is constructed.



Some important lines of codes that connects these libraries to work together in achieving the goal of a bitcoin based Lnpos.

At the begining of the LNpos settings he mentioned about the wifi password "Go to settings to lanch USB config mode or wifi access point If using access opint the device SSID default password is "ToTheMoon1""

It can be found under pos configuration

Reading further the code, you'll notice that this code works in line with the keypad, autoconnect, arduino Json and probably page builder to help the POS connect successfully to the Wifi network.

On the onchain payment method down to request invoice


I could notice the relationship between the Qrcode and the Ubitcoin or micro bitcoin library in channeling, securing and publishing transactions on chain.

These libraries listed above thought me that building a bitcoin compatible hardware project is also easy to achieve, just like putting them together to achieve a specific goal. Like I said earlier, they can be used for different purpose, projects etc. Below are the links to the libraries used by Arcbtc to set up this bitcoin Lnpos.

I missed one library hope some one helps me with that

Quitting gambling after winning a jackpot is not of a good decision, unless it's the person's initial plans. The goal of gambling is to reward players some day. Like the girl in question. She wasn't expecting to hit this jackpot, and it's quite an interesting one, that'll help her easily manage the funds. Spending the jackpot back on gambling is the disadvantage of continuing to play game after winning the jackpot. And most young gamblers fail to put the jackpot into good usage. They'll reluctantly wager huge amounts expecting another big win. Soon or later the jackpot is squandered and only a few of it, will be used outside the gambling activities. Hence, the casino knows their money will come back to them. If gambling makes the person happy, they'll stick to gambling. Personally, I won't move ahead, by stopping to play games. I'd discipline myself not to make silly mistakes. Stake few amounts of money, then look into providing a service for gamblers. Gambling is not for me a place to make all the money I need. So, trying out other things with the jackpot will be on the back of my mind. Especially when offered a sweet jackpot like that of this girl. Pure good luck. Handing over the whole money at once, is always a bad decision for youths. It can ruin the youth. To spend recklessly on what doesn't matter to the society. Or even boost addiction in some people's gambling experience. Such persons I'd advise to stop gambling after winning the jackpot. As it could be detrimental to their life, despite having all that money.

I like the first sentence "gambling is a place to spend money" it shows how simple your question is to answer. When we lose or win one thing amongst these two should be done; stop or continue playing. Even those who win big can give gambling a break, if they're fed up with gambling. Too much of gambling can reduce some people's interest in gambling. Just like spending so much money on a single product can cause lose of appetite in the product. We may think that playing too much leads to addiction. I don't agree. Sometimes it leads to lesser engagement in gambling. If a person continues playing games, despite losing numerous amount in gambling, eventually he'll get fed up. Only those who don't mind gambling as a place to spend money would rush to chase losses and end up being disappointed. Because, chasing losses, is not the best way to spend money. Once we're satisfied with the fun. It's expected of us to rest and wait for when next we feel like to gamble. The reason why players always end up not giving gambling a break is because of the returns promised to them. And it's obvious they do not win up to their expectations. Those who enjoy gambling with their spare time and money, have higher chances of making accurate predictions. As their mind is at rest, and they don't get worried or sad at any losing result. They've programmed their day and time, when to start and end for the day. Hence, no specific decision is right about Op's question. Stopping immediately after losing can hinder us from winning or losing more if we continued. Nobody knows what would have been the outcome if we played a little more. That's why I'd advise people to set up time duration for their gambling activities. And never to stop playing, regardless of losing or winning, until the time elapse. For instance, people gamble in football. It's a 90 minutes game and the match never ends until the time is up. Whether a team is losing they keep playing and most times we've seen the losing team end up winning the game or getting a draw. It's just like a relatable example of what we need to do as gamblers.

I noticed this he didn't add after writing his multiple rules. Although, his reactions to that is not stated, memorizing lists of rules, may not be the catalyst of enforcing those rules or abiding by it while gambling. Strategies should be personal. If he wishes to share them, with other players, it's not necessary we follow it. Because we're not sure 100% that what he stated or shared with us is what he really does. The truth is that successful players, professional gamblers hide their strategies. It's left for any other player, to figure out what works. Then implement them into practice. It could be just few sentences, when written down that'll be easy to memorize. We win according to our losses. Most times I fail my instinct and end up not winning. And vice versa. No perfect right technique. We must adjust our moves consistently to stay winning than losing. Perfecting a technique and tagging it as the ultimate gambling technique, is wrong. It'll create losses to multiple players, who utilize same strategy. Gambling is a game of changes, the house change their techniques often, so should players. Hence, following another player's rule can be wrong. But, in some cases like a physical casino, the person sitting next to you can chip in accurate prediction. Yet, the problem lies on if the player will listen to their neighbor. This example explains better why people may not rely on rules. As it doesn't seem right with their own idea and prediction. It's like telling or advising people how to spend their funds. I've read about players who don't care whether they win or lose. I don't think any gambling technique will interest them. That's human like you said. Ideas and behaviors don't exactly match. Expect to see different reactions on the gambling experience of those following your techniques. Which shows the vast difference or uniqueness in the operation of casinos and players on a single technique. A machine in one casino may not perform like others in another casino. If a player gets advantage winning by playing bad machines, and shares it as his technique. Would it be useful to a player who plays in a casino with good machines. He'll have to wait until a bad machine shows up.

I think they should be a both way for such advise. One managing losses. Two, to boost wining. Sport betting happens to be the best form of gambling, due to multiple advantages that facilitates winning. They is a high chance of winning big when we gamble earlier before the match date. Which makes it an effective method and used by many top gamblers. Win or lose is certain. But the early player who made his bet a week behind, will get high profits if he wins his games. It's important to understand gambling from the root. The truth about it is that we should be on a better advantage when we win. Lose at a lesser risk and win on a high advantage. If we must follow strategy to minimize much losses, it's also important to plan for the best. Depending and believing on regulating losses, causes lesser returns when we win. While minimizing losses, also maximize winnings. To be able to solve some economic problems on a lucky day. Playing without winning big at some time isn't bad, but it's nice to win big at some time. The profits that comes from it, can be a source of solving financial problems. If big money get most people joy and happiness, why won't there see gambling as a place to get fun. Every serious gambler can hit the jackpot. What's the essence of the money, if not spending it on utilities like gambling. It could be people's problem economically. While others bother to get gadgets, the gambler is disturbed about not staking games. With his money he can participate fully into gambling and gain happiness.  

The US government doesn't wish to ban bitcoin. They're bitcoin whales. US government get bitcoin through seized bitcoin from criminals. Holds, and soon auction them for profits. The regulation of bitcoin price isn't easy or possible for the government. Greed won't let them forfeit the profits following bitcoin bull run. Hence, they'll always be interested in any bitcoin related case; scams and bankruptcy. So, they finally regulated bitcoin, but not the way we thought they would. Since it's hard to achieve tech wise. The US government economized the demand and supply of bitcoin, as a regulatory technique. Those events you mentioned, fetched or will earn them more bitcoin. These moves, arresting and sentencing the CEO is as a result of breaking the law. It's obligatory for the government to catch criminals who illegally ill-treat the wealth of citizens. A citizen may not regard her government if they don't take action against cyber theft. Aside that, It's impossible to get hold of every cryptocurrency scam plot. Such things keeps happening often and often. Only the biggest of them get the attention of the government. Why, because of the profits; more bitcoins.  In the USA, the demand and supply of bitcoin is regulated. Which is still not bad for bitcoin. It doesn't affect in anyway the operation of bitcoin. Only the usage can be affected by the reduction of the number of US citizens using bitcoin. Equipping the bad factors of bitcoin to scare them away. What they're doing on the long run is helping the bitcoin network grow. Many wise congressmen and government officials are seeing the potentials of bitcoin. Through its long term persistence on the government's war against bitcoin. Most of them invest in bitcoin. Build blockchain services. So, I think the government is satisfying her citizens with what makes them happy; jailing Scammers. And, the government, go ahead to seeing the potentials of bitcoin. With their power over the demand and supply of bitcoin in USA using KYC as a tool. They'll be able to generate more bitcoins for themselves. Hence, the publicity they're giving to bitcoin is on purpose. If not they, the government, wouldn't have given a single publicity to bitcoin: good or bad. The government is doing what should be done, in a way US citizens wants to see what should be done.

Your argument is interesting and based on it, gambling is luck. The cards get shuffled, and secretly distributed. I don't think there is a skill that controls the kind of cards we get. The rank of your card, it's known by nobody except you.  When good cards are allocated to us,  we can take advantage of it. Win huge amount. Build network of friends. Its disadvantage compared to slot games may not be match able. Table games are structured such that the last man wins. The first two play like it's indeed a competition. Hence, they can't stop anytime until the game is over. So, if a good number of people never lost all their funds. The table posses an uninterruptible rule. Though it has the means of doing great things. Due to the moderation in place for card games. Anybody can play slot, but not everyone got the guts of staking funds on Poker game. The limitations in card games, increased the value of table games. Thereby provided valuable amount to the winner. Because of the combined funds. No machine manipulations. I think its what Op is driving at. Slot is risky, but the player can decide to stop at any moment. I'd say that despite accepting your first argument, table games generates perfect incomes. And like I mentioned Poker, they are many other card games. With similar different rules.  Some card games depends on skills.
