For me spotlight is more or so like cameras and stuff focused on you. But if you already are one then I do think it would look more or less like this.

I wanted to make some abstract art and keep it simple. Also I wanted to use the base as a real kangaroo 🦘. Added a little roobet logo additionally near the left .
I mainly used gouache here.

Roobet ID: Fiulpro










The idea of tail came to me when I saw a picture of a baby kangaroo. Needless to say his little coming like an armadillo was too cute.
I for sure need to show you guys my inspiration.



Thank you again for being consistent with such competitions. It's always a big help for the artists here.

Honestly it's really helpful for the people who are forever looking for a good bookie. But I do think that we do have good opportunity right now to actually "be our own bookies" since the online gambling businesses have not just been successful but also is legal in many places. The bookies on the other hand are not that reliable.
You should always go though their :
"Reviews"
The best recommendation can only be given by a common person who used their services. Plus I have seen many bookies who have purchased advertisement on the Google and if you search for a particular name many will appear and most of the times the probability is it's a scam so I believe don't just go and search on the Google for them.
Plus in many countries it is indeed illegal to gamble so if a bookie says he can help you "DON'T". They can be a part of a big scam and can also be hidden police lol who knows. But take matter in your own hands and just use a normal gambling website.

Right now what we have seen is that bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies are getting more and more accepted by the people which does mean that it would be a good future for us and at the same time Elon Musk have now added Bitcoins in his Twitter I think and the price surged to 37k , I believe this is quite good but I don't like the market manipulation so much. Plus the media is so fast to report all of this.

So in the future I do think we will have :
Better market for cryptocurrencies but at the same time it would be manipulated too.
- the vaccination will take at least a year right now in the USA despite excessive vaccination etc.. only 1% people have been vaccinated.
Therefore the market will start to open soon but not right now , we have to still wait for the vaccination to be successful since new variants of the COVID are spreading so buckle up , it's going to be a long long year.

Using bitcoins to buy things does need a lot of stores around you who are willing to accept bitcoins as a form of payment. Right now where I live we do not have such options available therefore even if I try to buy things on-line I do not trust if it would be a smart decision therefore I just buy the bitcoins invest them for a short or long term basis and at the end I sell them when I need money. Since the exchange rates are really favourable and at the same time I have more options available.
Everyday groceries and etc are something that I do believe that should be brought in a way that it supports the local market and small farmers therefore I do think I would just encash and use. Maybe in the future if there are more options available I would just try it out and see how it works I personally don't trust LN well enough but hopefully it will work nicely and securely soon.

WBTC is a BTC which is based on the ERC20 token and pegged 1:1 to BTC and I do think that it's an amazing solution but do think it would take some time to flourish. I do believe that ERC20 is more or less very advanced but then again BTC is more trustable and in the future this symbiotic relationship can prove to be a boon.

See to answer your question know that : WBTC is NOT BTC 🚫
It's actually ERC20 token which is equivalent to 1 BTC as promised by the company which doesn't mean that it would actually be equivalent to BTC.

If you really are interested and thinking of investing either invest in BTC or ETH leave the WBTC for future since I do believe that the trading of these tokens do provide us with our very own WBTC. It's a good concept but not needed.

Gray Scale might be getting all the funds but I do not understand that why people go for gray Scale bitcoins and not the normal ones. Even though I know some reasons that might compel some of them to purchase it still I do think that they are keen on making bitcoins a part of share market that I do not like.


"Funds can manage money better"

I do not think that for sure since the managers are doing what you yourself are very capable of doing thus I believe you are just paying someone for nothing. Plus they also have a set time period of investment and what if the price shoots up before that ? Wouldn't it be better to manage your bitcoins yourself ?

Plus it's more secure with you ! Honestly who would you trust with your money more than you yourself.

If you went though all the trouble of making a gambling site I do think you have to understand for a fact that to keep things professional you have to actually make a good announcement thread.
Plus other than this thread post also in other relevant sections and not just here , you can try and hire someone to make your posters etc. Because this way it's not going to work. This doesn't only make it look like a fraudulent site but at the same time this also speaks negative on the fact that you worked so hard to make the site. I actually went on the site and jumped around to see , it's descent but you have to work on your announcement for sure.
Best of luck for the future and try and make a better thread and maybe see the other announcements too this way you can learn and grow as a whole.
Plus I do think you should register yourself too this would attract more customers.

Actually after the stimulus it is expected that the USD itself will go down by at least 20%. Now USD is a currency which is being held by small nations , if they do have some downfall it would be extremely bad . The economic growth will depend on how the vaccination works.
It has also been proven that the fast stain of the virus is something which is making the immunity fail , which is truly serious. Therefore before it was preluded that the people with COVID can be skipped. Therefore this could be fatal since we have not yet seen how and till where it is going to spread.
Most probably we will be living with this virus like forever and for that we have to adapt. The schools and the colleges are most likely opening now and it's because the parents are forcing. We might never be out of this situation but the economic situation have already improved a lot.
The stocks are performing not that good and the crypto market is still very beneficial for the investors. One can invest right now and still gain profit in the interday trading.

I don't understand the fact that how does crowd helps predict the future ?  Even if there would be like a basic poll wouldn't it be highly personal ?
Anyways , I do think that the price drop was because of the double spend FUD which was being published everywhere and the people realized it now and are now trying to buy the bitcoins back , 50k , wouldn't it be too much of a mark? Since we have already stretched the btc well enough .


Is this even worth it ? Waiting for like 3 years ? I do know that humans will make such advancements but I do not think that it would be that soon since we have not seen amazing incomparable discoveries in the 2000's , mars is safe for a robot right now but not safe for humans for sure. Plus with COVID I think it would already slow everything down.


Then it would be more like a bond with a bank for 3 years , that should ofc increase the multiplier but *500 isn't this too much ?

See we are in a pandemic and if something like that happens I do believe that maybe the site or the people they are experiencing some major issues. You should try and withdraw your funds and stay away for sure. They haven't been that active or have been but not that much. Plus you should already know about the competition now since there are so many sites right now good ones with stable boards and all do these kind of sites they sway away every once in a while because business is preety hard.

I do think that the sites worth can already be measured by the fact if they are good with customer support or no and right now I do think that you have to really consider changing them.

Maybe in the future they might come but I do think that you should not count on such things.

But the fact that you are trying to go to customer service means you have some issue maybe some funds or something trapped , try posting on their thread I hope it works.

I do think that you are missing the major body that does have the ability to control the price of bitcoins but temporarily.
1. Government

They can ban or even let the cryptocurrencies flourish. The central bodies can forcefully try and regulate the price of bitcoins.

- The Chinese authorities started banning mining back in the day and then people had to run away from china literally, now they tried to take over the mining farms etc... So this is something that can effect the price of bitcoins but for a short term since whatever they do the price will recover. Will be balanced out from other people outside.

Therefore I believe that for cryptocurrencies to flourish we do need friendly government so that more people can openly trade and buy/sell.

-*-

Then again no one and everyone controls the price at the same time , the higher the amount of BTC you own the more you have the ability to influence the price..

Ofcourse it can be done. Since the data is technically stored forever.

Taken from google.

But then again Mr. Satoshi was the first recipient of the bitcoins through mining. But I do think you will still need the transaction ID for all of this and one of the sender or the recipient should have made it public idk for sure though. I was trying to check the last post of Mr. Satoshi to see if he did write the transaction ID but I found something interesting :



Now this is actually what was written by him back in the day and the problem of double spending was already known but then again the market manipulation by the media which happened few days before which coincided with the fall in the price of bitcoins could have just been a manipulative trick.

Since double spending was already discussed by Mr. Satoshi I wasn't really aware of this though. But then again I hope the price gets stable again.

Now this was all a FUD since it didn't really happen but was just publicized wrongly.


Again editing:

So the block number is : 170 and you can track it indeed.

Viola!

Let me analyze it from a medical point of view :
See the thing is most of these people who are involved in such cases are the ones who gamble, drink , have unhealthy diet and are mostly in their middle age, which does mean that you could have gone near them as the Joker from It and they would have died right away if you have given them a good scare. Atherosclerosis is more common than you think and at the end not everyone can go to the doctor despite being completely healthy and analyze their lipid profile.
This is essential to note that the healthy individuals will not die for sure on receiving such news , this one is quite opposite to a broken heart syndrome but still proved to have fatal consequences. Therefore the thing is to maintain your health in a way that such lucky wins you can enjoy , life is bound to give you opportunities and happiness and you have to be ready for it as you should be ready for the downfalls.
This is just the lifestyle+age problem not a jinx for sure 😂

Funny what the government thinks will work....I will tell you what really happened. I was back in India for 2 months and I live in a small village and there the people with black money paid like 50-100 Rupees to poor people to stand in the line and exchange their money.

This is literally what happened and the people escaped very easily. For them or was an amazing time to convert the black money into the white money.

Now I do think this didn't help much but maybe in some cases it did , but we cannot consider that a universal statement and start worshipping what they did. I did find it utterly useless since the government doesn't know how the local people works. Had it been known that this is happening it would have saved a lot of trouble for sure.

That is why the individual miners are shutting down their businesses since it's more or less more profitable for the big mining companies. In a recent news I read how nvidia is thinking of coming into the mining market again. At the same time the price of bitcoins is rising too.

1. Price is increasing
2. Big companies generally keep the cost balanced

I do think it's profitable for the individual miners only when :
1. They have their own cheap renewable source of electricity
2. For countries where the electrical power is free and the people are allowed to mine bitcoins.

We cannot say this statement as a universal guide and tell people how mining is not profitable anymore plus they get the coins not just from mining but at the same time from transactions etc.

So this actually depends. If it had been so unprofitable then Nvidia would not think of coming in the business again.

Well I don't think it's that of a good idea to invest in things like lottery since the probability is far too small and I do know that my luck is not going to be that good for sure. This was amazing considering the woman had been buying tickets for like 20+ years. This is really good , she got paid well lol. But if the lottery ticket is like cheap then I do think there are people who buy like a lot of them are the same time to increase their chances of winning it. Right now the better option would be betting for sure , like sports betting etc.

Plus 60$ million is actually a lot. But these things only happen very rarely therefore don't be so happy listening to these stories work hard and do your job , life's ain't so nice for everyone 😂.

Plus there are no tricks when it comes to lotteries for sure , yes you can buy a lot of tickets at once and I think that's it.

I do think we have to understand the fact that Knowledge is something that comes from Education. Education is something that does require a lot of investment during this time period and at the same time we have to understand the fact that the government is not at all lenient in granting :
student loans
It is not easy to secure one and at the end of the day even if you successfully get one it's hard to count on the upcoming semester.
Therefore this is something that the government should work for in many countries the education is free like in Germany but then again the finances are a whole different thing.
One can have PhD but at the same time could fail to even get monthly financial stability despite having enough money because most of the times it required consistent  reason , analysis, perspective a lot of experience and the ability to use that knowledge for the greater good.
You can have knowl but it will depend on the fact about how you decide to use this knowledge.
Well for me money is anything that holds a value not just Crypto. It's indeed more important as compared to fiat for me since it's more or so beneficial as a whole to hold it.

Hi
I do believe that if you follow any youtube channel or any one else you do have the chance of getting manipulated by that particular person , you have to understand the fact that this is not only fake if someone thinks that they can predict the price correctly but also not needed. You have to yourself look for the news, check the price every now and then, you see the price climbs and falls in small fractions. Not within a second therefore you have to try and keep up with that. It's not hard just set bitcoins news in your google tab and keep on checking every 1 hr or so , this is what I do and I usually go to my exchange wallet to see the price locally thus this helps me a lot if I have to do interday trading and a couple of times the wallet company also provides free trading in BTC-USD so this also is something that I keep in mind while going for investing. Just always be meticulous and keep calculations in your mind , don't be greedy and you will do good. It's not an exact science that any youtube channel will be able to explain.

Ofcourse this is not at all justified but at the same time I do believe that the stimulus bills are not available in every country and therefore the government should at least give like a month for these people to register and then at least reduce the tax according to how small and the big the business is because in small countries it is indeed a very normal thing to have illegal gambling places, more common than one would think.

I know a lot of people who were behind the bars and then started again the moment they got out of the jail. This is a never ending chase and therefore I do believe that this needs to be tackled more deeply. Instead of giving them hefty charges they need to give them time and at the same time keep it in check every now and then.

Illegal gambling places are not only dangerous but they are too deep rooted and therefore I think they need to use some positive force here especially in thailand.

https://www.gamblinginsider.com/news/10900/thailand-government-announces-sub-committees-to-combat-illegal-gambling


I came across this news where the government of Thailand is looking to get a sub committee ready to tackle the illegal gambling in the country.

They do believe that these gambling sites are the ones spreading the COVID more.

I do believe that people living in thailand should be careful if they are engaging in such things and also think about the consequences for sure. Since this time the people and the governing body of these illegal casinos will have a major problem.

I do believe that the government is not only working to eradicate the COVID hotspots but at the same time they want to make gambling businesses only legal since the revenues are forever in the favor of the government.

Now let's look at some quote taken from google :


Now most of the activities are illegal , so the government would shut down these businesses and at the same time might force some of them to work towards legally starting a new casino , which would be in the favour of the government. Though I don't understand why the revenues is so high ? Since most small businesses won't be able to handle such restrictions.

I do believe that the government with regards to shutting down such business should also think about decreasing the tax revenues for them since most of them are small shop owners and they will continue to do so legally or illegally what matters is how better the government integrates it in the society.

What do you think ?
Should they make reforms before shutting down the whole thing ? I think this could benefit people and the government as a whole.
