The way this statement is worded made it seem like it was a bad thing to impose stricter regulations in implementing COVID-19 Vaccine when it was the contrary actually. It must be compulsory to be vaccinated because it's not only your life that you are endangering when you go out in public without protective gears and vaccine, you're endangering other people's lives, the economy, and the world altogether. In reality a much stricter COVID-19 vaccine imposition is needed in order to rollout the safety of the public at a much higher efficacy. The truth of this whole issue of COVID-19 and vaccination is that people did die from this disease that could have been easily contained if people had just believe it dos exist from the get go and took prevention methods to avoid getting infected. Now a vaccine has been produced, let's take away all the sentiment and propaganda been spreed but if this vaccine is the only defense against getting infected if the pandemic was to return then I won't mind getting vaccinated.
But when you look at the way it's been done then you begin ti think something else is happening at the background that the government don't want us to know. Why force it in people when you're in a democratic world, there are only ways to go about and by simply enlightening the citizens, they'll adhere to the advice and get vaccinated.
With force come resistance, so when you begin to force the vaccination on people do expect to get some retaliations and that's what's happening currently. I just wish people see the usefulness of this decision by the government and get vaccinated. The government aren't always wrong you know just that something they don't do things the right way.
Forcing it is the only way you can get people to listen, with the amount of antivaxxer rallies , campaigns and COVID-19 deniers on TV that had already spread their lies and misinformation amongst the public, a simple information campaign will not cut it. You are right, this wouldn't have happened if people listened from the get-go, but reality is often disappointing, so here we are being forced to be vaccinated in order to ensure the safety of the public and the future generations to come. |

This is why it's important to collect substantial amount of knowledge for whatever game you'd be playing. Be it as complex as card games or as simple as dice rolls, you always have to know the ins and outs of each outcome to make the most out of every possibility and earn profit while securing your winnings. A common misconception of newbies is that experience is the best teacher when the best teacher there is other people failing and you observing what they did that made the outcome go awry. Be receptive, perceptive, and intelligent, this will almost always guarantee your wins. I hard my gambling mentor set the wagering number and amount to bet on that have steadily won in dice and place games.So a say dice skills are possible with the right instructor.
Steadily won? Well I doubt that especially if the game is dice. In my case dice is the first game I play online when im just a newbie, and became really hook to it because its easy to play and not complicated. However there's no such thing as consistent winning in dice regardless of what strategy you use. Dice is more on luck and instructor is not really necessary since you can study it alone and set a strategy that somehow can be useful. I guess what he meant by winning steadily is not necessarily winning streaks that go for the hundreds, but a substantial amount of winning that would dwarf any losses the OP would incur while playing the game. This takes a lot of skill especially self-control but then again it's not like you have to scour the lands for hints on how to control your emotions more when gambling. There are multiple techniques that you can acquire and apply to make sure that even if you do lose games, which you will eventually, you don't have to be hurt so much from said losses and you can carry on with your gambling journey scott-free |

The main concept of multiplayer games is for you to compete against other players, and since dice is a game of chance I don't think it will be fair to set up a player-to-player competition in such a scenario because there will always be that one guy struck with Murphy's Law. Now this concept would work in the sense of competition against players where they compare and contrast wagers and winnings, although this wouldn't work well for the people who aren't high-rollers because whatever happens, they will always be at the bottom of the leaderboard in such scenarios. I can't see DICE having a multiplayer option, like what's the point? It's so easy to be played solo and gambling sites wouldn't do that because that would reduce the percentage of their bankroll if they are gonna have a feature like that. The current system is YOU vs. THE HOUSE, so whoever wins takes the money, while if it's a multiplayer, it's YOU vs. SOMEBODY and THE HOUSE would be just like a referee, if you know what I mean.
I would say the same but OP didn't specify what he meant by multiplayer because it could be either of the two I mentioned. Then again the former will never work because how would you balance a game that is based on chance? More so compete against other people when there's no real skill to compete with? Wagers and winnings leaderboards however could work in practical application as some gambling sites have already implemented such features but as I said earlier these types of tournaments heavily favor the high-rollers over the stingy ones. |

Not in the slightest. Bitcoin and most established cryptocurrencies in the market, actually even those who have only been in the market for a while eats these kinds of dump for breakfast and lives to tell the tale. not even a week after and we see most coins are already on their way to recovery, so there's no actual bearing if there's any that this dump had incurred to the crypto space besides some panic and weakhands pulling their investments out prematurely, which almost always happens anyway so I don't think this dump is any different from the previous ones we experienced, and thus no need for me to fear. Honestly I have been crypto way too long to feel any fear at all. I have seen this coin in 3 digits, so 5 digits are still fine for me, even if drops to 10k because that is what it was like just a year ago or so. People are overreacting, we reached to point where we were like a week or 10 days ago, how could we feel too much fear if we didn't buy in the last 10 days?
Everyone acting like bitcoin is at a price where it has never been before or haven't been in a long time. However reality is that we are in a place where we are doing fine right now. Remember we were at 30k levels only a month or two ago, so we are actually 50% in profit if we only bought a few months ago, that's gotta count for something.
Either we got so confident about bitcoin's ability to bounce back higher than its downfall price and previous price or we just got so desensitized from the hundreds of hate and negative speculations "experts" give out every time bitcoin is to experience a drought season. Then again whatever that is, it has made us into better investors and a patient one at that which not only would help us bag more money in the future, but could also translate to other real-life skills, especially in decision-making. |

I can't say this is a foolproof solution to the people's FUD and FOMO surfacing whenever a market crash or a bearish season happens but in my years investing and observing cryptocurrency there is not a day that this hasn't worked wonders for me. Provided that you have the patience and the money to boot every market crash will look like a gold rush to you. Allowing you to buy cryptocurrencies especially the top 10s as OP mentioned in their cheapest rates before a bounce happens. I wouldn't advise this for people who cannot afford to tank the losses and those who are in for day trading and stuff however, because this technique will definitely leave you splitting hairs. First, the attitude must remain calm by thinking that it will recover.
It seems pretty easy to do but in reality, it is very hard to do and that is the reason why most investors lose their money. They are panicking when they see the market bleeding. They don't have the patience to wait and just do nothing. They are the ones who doesn't have a Plan B with their investment. They are the ones who are just thinking that the market will go up and up and up. Unfortunately there are way too many people who mistake what they are doing as something cool and collected. Reality is that we are in a situation where life is not as easy and it takes time to master over your emotions. I understand though, I mean think about it we are talking about thousands of dollars for some people, many people are putting their life savings into crypto imagining a life where they could make a lot more money, like not just decent semi-okay money but more like money that would make them rich and finally retire and live a dream life. So, when it comes to making 10% or losing 10% then suddenly it becomes big emotions. They were expecting their lives to change and they ended up failing, which is why it is hard to do it, since it is a big expectation that usually never comes to life. What I can suggest however is to go into crypto not thinking about changing your life forever, but to take the control over your finances, that makes more sense and would be easier to handle. It's all case to case basis really. That's why personally before suggesting a technique to a friend who is into crypto or just plain-out someone who wants to receive guidance, I ask them what they can and cannot afford to lose because we don't ride the same boat in the cryptocurrency wave. Some of us are on yachts and cruise ships while other barely cling on a lifeboat to get by. Through digging deep and understanding, you will be able to offer help and advices that are much effective than just plain out saying: "HODL until you die". |

Getting scammed in the cryptocurrency industry had become so ubiquitous that some people believes it as a part of your cryptocurrency journey or a rite of passage that will determine how you would fare against the daunting tides of this field. Thing is this shouldn't be the case no matter how common scamming happens between people. That's why I always ensure that everytime I introduce someone to cryptocurrency, they are full-equipped with the knowledge that they can use to fend off these scammers and avoid losing all their hard-earned assets altogether. One of the best tips I give them and I could give newcomers too is that if it seems to good to be true, it probably is, so might as well avoid it. I can never reiterate how much this tip had saved me. You highlighted some minor ways hackers can penetrate devices and they are important because most times being careless with this little ones might still give those hoodlums edge over your device. But we should still be concious of the fact that hackers are actually very desperate and can go any length to steal your information which includes breaking into your device using malicious apps. Avoid storing some very important information on electronic devices should be another way to keep safe from hackers
This is kind of unavoidable since you will always have to input very crucial information on cellular and electronic devices whenever you would make an activity that involves cryptocurrencies. Additional protection wouldn't hurt at all so whenever you login, or input some vital information that hackers could use to steal your identity or your money, all their efforts would be in vain. I personally don't use password collectors because for me that's like putting all your eggs in one basket but to each his own, find out whatever works for you best and stick to it. |

This thread may have spanned a couple of months now but the amount of support Israel receives is still flooding. Just goes to show how good of a decision Stake.com made in making him a brand ambassador for the MMA industry which for the most part is riddled with physical gambling casinos that act as sponsors for these promising talent. To be represented by The Last Stylebender himself, an almost undefeated fighter only losing to Blachowicz is a great boost in popularity and reputation of the cryptocurrency gambling industry. This thread is a solid proof of how much people love Israel which could then be transmuted to an equal, if not greater love for cryptocurrency/cryptocurrency gambling. Israel does his analysis (  ) on the Conor McGregor fight.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbSYLImgXbsAn interesting take on this when another fighter is giving their take on a big UFC draw like this one. Almost forgot Poirier wore that weird darth vader looking breathing mask to the fight's aftershow in their second fight. I did not know that Stylebender has a huge following on Youtube 234K subscribers, this is huge, I read in one article Dana urging fighters to become social influencers also so they can hype their career and their fights just like what these Youtubers turn boxers are doing, they are making a lot of money not because they are great fighters but because they have a huge fan base and these fans follow their new careers. You'd be surprised by the number of Professional Athletes like Israel who started to create their own YouTube Channels either for fun or for an extra boost of income and popularity. Ryback, a popular WWE wrestler even has his ASMR Food channel where he eats stuff near mic which is weird but some people find it relaxing and soothing which is even weirder. Then again to each his own I guess. But I digress, as the internet grows and becomes embedded even more to the lives of the people, we'll see more athletes becoming content creators themselves if not influencers. |

Metaverse and NFTs opened a wide avenue for people who support cryptocurrencies and technology in general to explore and make use of. Gambling may find its way in this field once Metaverse games and systems are much more established which could happen in the near future, provided that the industry receives the same notice and admiration from the people consistently. More people finding NFTs neat and useful, means more people exploring what NFTs can be used for, creating a diverse environment that gambling needs in order to flourish. So yeah, there is a huge possibility that as long as things don't go south, we could experience our first few gambling metaverse games within our lifetimes, maybe even play it ourselves. I think this kind of massive adaptation will benefits a lot of players another NFT game will arise and compete with other top rising, still this is a gambling game need to have skills to win the game but I guess not too hard to play gambling instead its an easy way and having a reward, does the multiverse means an outside world of futuristic ideas like alien gambling or a planet representative to fight with their world.
Doesn't have to have a particular type of gambling for it to work. For all we know developers could envision a slot or diceroll game that is basically based on chance rather than skill and it could still work because people will enjoy gambling anyway as long as they win in one way or another. This could be the case for the first few games that the Metaverse system and NFT industry could have in the near future, and you could bet your bottom dollar that I will try to play it provided there is no complicated stuff that could keep me from playing the game. |

If the government banned such display of gambling or the likeness of it for the underage people who could get exposed to it and altogether become victims of the system, I don't think it's the gambling firm, or the kid's fault if they do fall into this trap. Most of the time parents are the ones who were supposed to look after their kids and of course that goes for the things they view on the TV or on the internet as well. You can't keep a creator from creating the same content he is well-known for just because you don't deem it appropriate enough for your son. What you do is you take measures so you don't expose your kid to such contents. This should also be the case for gambling. They really don't need the ads because they're going to have customers anyway, the people that wants to gamble will find them anyway. Also, they can probably circumvent this ban by making another feature to their casino like hotels or theatre performances.
You are right about this. But then again I feel like these types of ordinances catered to "protecting the innocent and the minors" ever do work in the best of their intentions. This is prolly what goes here for the cryptogambling advertisements' ban. It feels like the ban isn't necessary considering these types of exposure can be solved by a little supervision from the parents themselves, or at least a pep talk about gambling and its dangers directed towards informing your kids. I can clearly tell parents of the future become more and more complacent about developing and raising their kids. |

Although card games like poker and blackjack really rely on your skills, I am not that confident in my abilities so I often opt for games that do not require that much skill to win such as dice games and hi-lo games. The payoff isn't that big but when you're someone who primarily plays on gambling sites for fun and not for cash, this wouldn't really be a big deal to you. Then again I understand that some people are just competitive or wouldn't be able to afford the losses they would incur which is quite counterintuitive considering they prompted to gamble. It's all a matter of apples and oranges really when it comes to most things especially gambling. When I was a student at the university, other guys and I became addicted to playing poker right after class in the same auditorium where the lectures were. This could be done and no one kicked us out because the employees and cleaners who had already kicked us out had not yet come. Of course, the stakes were small, but tangible for the students. And how much joy it was if you won. Since then, almost always, when I sit down to play poker with friends, I remember those glorious times, carefree and funny. And this game with friends to students. This is why I love poker.  Great that you developed your interest in poker from a positive space, rarely does this ever happen because most of the time when people gamble, they think about winning, interactions and friendships come second if not last. Although I do enjoy a friendly poker game with friends long as the stakes are not that high that I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about the losses I will incur tomorrow. In these types of games and interactions, friendships that last get established. |

I mean the tulip mania only went south because people found no other use for tulips other than ornaments and decoration, but as for the case of NFTs, since most of them run within the blockchain technology found notable use-cases that show great promise for the future of collectibles, currency, art, and ownership. NFTs may look absurd right now knowing that people buy otherwise standard pieces of digital art for as much as the price of Mona Lisa, but I guess this is just the beginning. We can still see more from NFT come the future. I personally never understood what the NFTs are about. I only see them in passing while online and never paid attention coz it was like everyone and their grannies are pumping them out so I thought, how could they be valuable?
NFTs are basically coin with an image or illustrations attached to it. Just like cryptocurrencies, they take up space in the blockchain that no other cryptocurrency could fill, but what makes them different is that there is traceability, an owner could trace the details of his NFT back to him which will of course indicate that he is the sole owner of that particular NFT. This makes NFT suitable for collectibles, games that involves items, and much more. |

One can never reiterate how important it is to diversify your assets instead of putting all your eggs in one basket. Yes one might say bitcoin is very profitable today and would pump to millions in the future but you gotta understand that within that timeframe you would need to earn money too, otherwise why would you put your money to crypto when you can just put it in the bank if you'll let it be a sitting duck? Be dynamic, learn to choose between assets and which one to pick for long-term holding and day trading, that way you can secure profits. It seems to me that doing crazy things sometimes produces very unexpected results, selling assets or valuables to invest in bitcoin is not a crazy idea in my opinion, on the grounds that you still have other income or reserve funds when you invest.
What's important is that you do it based on sufficient knowledge and analysis to convince you, like a big investor for example, no big investor will invest large sums of money even sacrificing one valuable asset or another to invest in bitcoin.
because they believe bitcoin for the long term will provide satisfactory returns as it has in the last 10 years.
unless you don't believe in bitcoin better just ignore it, and I personally believe in it.
An ambitious move yes, but as long as he has some sort of backup plan behind all of this in the event that he does go balls deep on bitcoin and loses a considerable amount of his investments, he should be off the streets. But if he doesn't have these plans and is going all-in on bitcoin because of the promise of profit, then it's much better to advise him to do the opposite and invest on multiple assets because bitcoin does pay, but the long amount of time it takes for the profit to come in will definitely leave you penniless and homeless, if you were to invest all of your assets that is. |

It's not about the absurdity of the manner through which these people are scammed actually. Scams like these are like the Nigerian Prince scam that had riddled our email addresses for a couple of years now, they basically cater the gullible and the internet noobies that are still not aware and accustomed to the culture the internet runs in. Therefore, even if for a regular person this sounds absurd and outright scammy, for these gullible people, this is basically their ticket to getting rich. Best solution for this? Information campaign, and doing your own research. Scammers hacked even the Twitter accounts of prominent people like Elon Musk and tried to scam people. And there was some people who believed that it was really Elon Musk. However, they lost their money after figuring out that it was just a scammer. People should never believe someone who says such thing like he/she will make a cryptocurrency giveaway. Nobody would like to give that amount of crypto for free.
That's why we have to always be vigilant every time we interact with cryptocurrency-related activities in mind. If something's too good to be true, it probably is. So might as well shrug it off and get on with the rest of your day, otherwise you may just risk yourself falling for another scam that could cost you all your holdings in the process, and I don't know about you, but I don't want anyone besides me getting their dirty hands on my hard-earned cryptocurrency holdings. |

Thing is, gambling firms will always target these poverty-stricken areas be it by the private gambling firms, or the government itself. Ever wondered why there are places in the US that has spots that offer more Powerball lottery tickets compared to other spots? It's because they specifically target the poor's desperation to get rich. And seeing as the poor don't see the cumulative value of spending $2 per ticket, they easily get baited by the bleak promise of earning so much money in one sitting. I think gambling outlets in poor areas will have two purposes, I mean it will bring luck or income fields or jobs because with gambling outlets poor people can work, and also there are those who open businesses and also serve or offer gambling related services and also security services everyone who brings a vehicle and so on.
because things like that exist in my area where the majority of the population is the lower middle class and many open businesses or trade and serve anything that can produce and there are also most of them individually who are poor play gambling and that's their right whatever it is is a risk they will receive, and also not a few who are lucky.
there is also a downside because poor people are easily influenced and involved in gambling which makes them worse off.
Thing is that the "luck" you're talking about is so low they might as well get up and go to their regular jobs instead. The odds of winning in a Powerball and any type of sweepstakes for that matter is lower than say you getting struck by lightning or you getting murdered. This is sad but reality is often disappointing. Most of the times the people who do set up businesses there also spend a portion of their earnings gambling so nothing much is being given back to the people sadly. |

I'd say it was the other way around it actually. It was the internet that overtook the corporations and caused paradigm shifts in the corporate and advertising industry. Back then large companies and corporations wouldn't even bat an eye about advertising on the Internet, but years from now they soon realized that if they keep a blind eye to the wonders of technology, they'll soon be left in the dust. That alone forced them to advertise and show off over the internet which is why you may think they are the ones who took over the internet when it is the other way around, whatever the internet wishes to do these companies will follow suit. The internet was never designed for, or even considered the existence of, advertisements. In fact, advertisements infected the internet and completely transformed it into something totally different from what it was supposed to be. And advertisements only serve a purpose to corporations.
One thing that I would only agree on regarding your statement is that advertisements infected the internet, but this only goes for pop-up ads which is the most annoying thing ever invented in the history of humanity. Advertisements are cool because without them products and competitive products wouldn't be made, leaving us into a much more substandard living situation than what we have right now because lack of competition breeds complacency. So I think advertisements in general are good, pop-up ads however, not so much. |

You can never blame someone for their ignorance or being close-minded because somehow, this was caused by the environment they lived in the past. I would assume this person you talked to was at least of old age because this happens so often with old people. Might be that they got scammed in the past by someone over the internet or just plain-out fear of the unknown which is understandable, whatever that is, don't invest in people you will never get something back from. You would only be wasting your time, your energy, and possibly your money arguing with people who have already made their mind about bitcoin. It's strange to hear that there is still someone who doesn't know or has never heard about bitcoin, from what I see even in my country in poorer areas (see I live in a poor country) people know about bitcoin and its great advantages and they know about altcoin and mining, so if people from a poor country like mine know this as other people from countries that are better off don't know about bitcoin and its advantages and are still talking about ponzi schemes of the past
Well seeing as we've literally surrounded ourselves with like-minded people that will help us pave our cryptocurrency journey it would really sound absurd to hear about people who still haven't had any information about bitcoin or cryptocurrency for that matter, but the thing is there is still a lot of people out there, millions probably, who still haven't caught wind of bitcoin and the wonders it can offer to everyone today and in the future. |

Cryptocurrencies are like celebrities as you are trying to put it. They need to be relevant to stay afloat in the market, they need public attention for people to engage in them, and once they served their purpose, there's no telling what the future will be for them. But unlike celebrities who only rely on shows and appearances to remain relevant, cryptocurrencies can remain relevant for the years to come either by remaining in the market as a powerful contender, as in the case for bitcoin, or implementing a very functional design and project right at its conception that could fill the niche that the market needs. Bitcoin advertisement or promotion by celebrities are always good to make people interested in bitcoin but the most important thing is the acceptance by governments or everything that will ease people to use bitcoin. Today there are many countries start to accept bitcoin, if government accept bitcoin then bitcoin related company will grow easier. I think the news that we need is bitcoin acceptance by governments.
I don't think that's what OP meant by the post, but let's assume influencers and celebrities do invest in bitcoin and shill it in their respective platforms out of pure support for the cryptocurrency, they will leave a bad taste in people's mouths when bitcoin dumps in value, which is definitely not good for their career as they rely on the public's good interest for them to receive projects, this doesn't happen with bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency for that matter. |

Twitter rolls out monetization options for their influencers, especially those who have verified accounts and have a considerable amount of followers. And since the feature is still at its infancy, there could be opportunities for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to come into the scene and offer their valuable services to the table. Twitter has a good amount of usage from millions of its users, and this could pretty much mean good not only for bitcoin but for Twitter as well that since then had become a cesspool of canceling people, pornography, and a bunch of unsolicited bullcrap that each "content creator" force onto unassuming users' throats. These articles don't guarantee whether Twitter is going to roll out that feature or not but in case they do I would interested to know they are going to make the tipping offline to the Twitter server or users can send another user directly on their bitcoin address.
In case users can send directly to other user's address then twitter will showcase their BTC address under their posts.
I don't think the article's main point is to offer a shimmering glimpse of hope for people who are hoping for twitter to become cryptocurrency-friendly but rather as a means for people to be informed that Twitter is at least planning to include a feature like this as a part of expansive growth for their project. I don't think it's going to be offline though since in the case of the still in beta phase "Twitter Spaces", users would need to buy a ticket first before joining their favorite creators to whatever the hell they are doing online. |

Looking at it right now there's no telling what the max price bitcoin can reach, honestly, the question of whether bitcoin does have a max cap price or not is already a mind-boggling question because for me it's like asking if we can prove the existence of a God. There could be one, there could be none, but whatever the answer is, there will still be bitcoin to support and invest on. Regarding the question of when bitcoin will be stabilized however, it is soon as the circulation stabilizes as well. Right now people are holding bitcoin more than they use it for selling and transactions, but as soon as people do these things, the price will stabilize itself, well hopefully it does. actually what makes bitcoin interesting is that one of them, we all know from articles and videos as well as arguments from experts who say that bitcoin will grow big in the future and will thrive over time, but of course all that saying that no one knows for sure when it will happen for sure it will happen but when it will happen only time can answer that because everything on this forum even the experts will not be able to answer with confidence and sure when asked like this.
what we need today is to wait and wait until it all happens.
but apart from that what I actually believe for now is our prospects and goals in holding bitcoin to what price because the benchmark price for bitcoin will be very expensive but takes a very long time is something that does require extra patience, you have to set your perception yourself in the price of bitcoin, if you think the price of bitcoin is right, why are you still forced to wait for further things.
There's still a small margin that could cause bitcoin to never reach stabilization and worse, fail. Not saying this to be the party-pooper but we gotta have a bit of realism especially in situations where it's everyone's game, just like right now where bitcoin is in a precarious spot where it could go lower or go higher and reach 60k or even 100k by the year end. Of course as we look at the market there is a huge chance that bitcoin could reach the latter. |

We cannot tell you where to invest that money but we could at least give you some pointers on HOW to invest that hard-earned money you got. The fact is that there is no surefire way for you to earn money exponentially but there are leeways you can take that'll make you consistent money, most people will tell you to invest it into stocks, bonds, shares, or crypto but I would suggest investing it to whatever floats your boat. It's a big no-no to step on a venture that you barely know so pick one field, be very good and knowledgeable at it, and then invest in it. If you are lucky and work hard, you may get 100% profits, meaning doubling this amount during the coming period, but if you want to invest for the long term, any time is appropriate, but some times are better than others.
Follow DCA style and buy big when the next crash happens better than jumping into the unknown.
Investing in a Dollar-Cost-Averaging is a good way to start up your cryptocurrency journey but this works for people who can afford to not touch their earnings, be it big or small over a considerable amount of time. If OP is good with this he might wanna look into this technique and the ventures where he can apply this to give him the chance to earn. |
