It may seem bad at this point, because you're out of your strategy and missing out on an opportunity, however, remember that the crypto market is unpredictable! You feel sorry now that you're out of funds for investment, but maybe in a few months there will be an even better chance, with bigger dips and by then you will have saved up some money for that.
So I suggest you don't rush seeking funds and do not, under any circumstances, take loans for this stuff, it can end badly. Just wait for the right moment.

IMO cryptocurrencies have had a large impact on sports sponsorship, majorly through sports betting. In the US alone the revenue from sports betting has tripled since 2018, it could most certainly be linked to the emerging number of online bookies that deal with cryptocurrencies, thus making it easier for people to make bets. Though we'll never know for sure.

Unfortunately, this phrase certainly applies to the majority of people in modern society. Most people find jobs simply to maintain life, though not fully being conscious of the fact that they spend most of their life on that job they don't like, I believe that makes them slaves.

Most people are ok with doing the same job in the same position for 20 years, they don't even bother thinking of something bigger, they're settled, they have money to provide for their family, and have no other need. A lesser % tries to achieve something bigger in a particular field, climb the career ladder, get better positions with higher salaries and better recognition, and that is exactly the concept you described - trying to be better slaves.

Only a very small % of people actually think of existential problems, have bigger aims and realize that there's much more to this life than just going to your job, these people try to create something of their own. implement new ideas and have a thrive to learn and develop.

The problem with democracy in certain African counties is that people still have no choice in there. They vote for the most democratic president, but the elections are set up and the nation ends up with dictators, and it's been going on and on for years. @Gyfts is right, corruption isn't something that can be easily broken, it can take decades and many revolutions

Why it's so much more difficult in Africa?
Honestly, it's a rather difficult question, but I can't think of a better explanation than simply geographical isolation from the West. It is well-known from the world's history that even thousands of years ago when people used to live in tribes the location was crucial. Often those closely situated could find a common language easier and form bigger groups together (which later became civilizations), as opposed to with those that were located far away and were always considered hostile.

See, when the democracy started to spread in the West, Africa was kind of left out, while other countries formed unions, arranged meetings, and discussed regulations, future directions. Maybe that is one of the reasons this system wasn't fully and accurately implemented in African countries.

In addition, things are complicated with the fact that many countries in this continent don't want to become democratic, many still run autocratic regimes, and this surrounding also has an impact and slows the movement in the democratic direction for other countries.

That's unlikely, it looks more like OP is rather looking for people with gambling addiction, so he tries to lure them with this manipulative stuff as if one can quit the job and live off gambling. The OP may even not be involved with gambling, he's just trying to make us use the website.
Though I'm pretty sure OP inserted the wrong link, because I followed the one he provided and there were no games in there, only tips, advices, offered casinos, that sort of stuff.

Looks like a sound idea. Obviously, people that run businesses underground will continue to do so, so there's no stopping them, it's basically very similar to legalizing a gambling business. However, it is no secret that for such entrepreneurs withdrawing and using money they make from the black market is a big problem.

Such terms will encourage these people to unravel their true income, because even with 25% still, it will probably be more convenient, less risky, and maybe even cheaper than money laundering. At the same time, black money is most often pretty big money, so this will be a good profit for the government.

Of course, there should be some limits, certain types of businesses shouldn't run under any circumstances, no matter how much money the government can get from it.

What an amazing win, the odds were so low, and they wi is just crazy, poor bettor, how did he even survive through watching this game

Also, I guess that makes this win the second biggest parlay ever won, after Steve Whiteley parlay win in Horse Racing. Also an amazing story, that one, maybe not everyone heard of it, the bettor turned £2 into £1.5m.

Actually, that's a pretty common misbelief, I am surprised by how many people think that environment is more important than genes. Probably because most of us were told so at schools and no one ever questions it.

The fact is, there are published studies providing evidence that this might be wrong. Here's a great review summarizing a wide range of such studies: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2019.00044/full#B29

Here are some excerpts from this study:


The stability of intelligence, especially after a long time indicates the importance of genetic material, as it is obvious that the environment is changing and if it played such an important role, then with years passing the test results would have changed.


Twin studies are very representative, as the genetic identity in twins is very high. Now, one could say that twins have similar performances due to the same environment, but I can hardly agree on that. I know a lot of twins that have very different interests, preferences, different friends, and, thus, quite different environments, especially when growing older.

The major problem with these studies is that "intelligence" is very difficult to measure, there's more to it than just IQ tests. But new studies keep emerging, and many of them are dedicated to identifying specific genes responsible for intelligence (with genome-wide analysis and quantifying single nucleotide polymorphisms), and they all seem to dispel the widespread beliefs that genes account for a very small % in terms of intelligence.

I own in the hope that soon enough it will be implemented in the modern economy and I'll be able to use it. When that happens - it will become money for spending. I also try to hold when the price drops drastically, just to ensure I don't lose a lot of money because of price volatility. And some part I own just out of curiosity: how high will Bitcoin reach (I guess I'm never selling that part, though I know it's wrong ).

In my country, it's not possible to make routine purchases with cryptocurrencies, but we use that system among friends to make money transfer. Also, some landlords accept payments with Bitcoin from tenants, but I only know one such case, apart from that it's very rare.

I'd use crypto in the shops, restaurants, and other places if it was possible and easy, e.g. with an app, touch ID, or something like that, I wouldn't want to press the private key each time in a public place  

Apart from high rolls and big wins, one should be careful when using bonuses and it's better to go through the terms and conditions once again and check what rules apply in order to withdraw after using them. I think this is the trickiest part, even with respected casinos there can be unpleasant situations where you'll be required to play a lot in order to withdraw.

You have a point, but there's a reason people don't read ToS: they're extremely long and often written in a rather technical language, which normally people can't fully understand.

Moreover, sometimes you can read all of it but there still will be some misunderstanding. For instance, regarding KYC verification. The owners can indicate in ToS that it will be required, plus what exactly is required (e.g. full address, ID photo, etc.), but what they don't tell you is that your photo must be of super high quality, your address must be indicated on an official document, but they can accidentally extract the wrong address, and sometimes it may take you >5 attempts to submit it and pass the verification. So reading ToS wouldn't help you in such a case.

I still think it's better to read it, but I don't blame people who don't, and I think reading reviews and looking at a reputation, in general, is more representative and helpful.

So basically this is a very long way of saying that we can't use cryptocurrencies for purchasing unless they are accepted and regulated by the government. Didn't we all know that before?

Also, I think it is a little inappropriate to apply Gresham's law dated 1560's which was accurate for THAT economy in today's world. Things have changed since then. Just one example, at that time the options for investment and storing value were very limited, so there was "bad" money and "good" money. But I think many would agree that nowadays in terms of STORING there are better options than cryptocurrencies, it's not what they were meant for.

So, to conclude, Bitcoin hasn't fallen into any kind of trap, it's going to be just fine.

IMO if we're not taking extreme cases (e.g. poor people that don't even have home, computer, and Internet access, can't read books, etc.), the mentality nowadays isn't defined only by the class in which you are born. Yes, school plays an important role, but you can read inspiring books, watch movies, learn history and, thus, change your mentality, learn to dream big. That's the awesomeness of our world - the open-source, you can find anything you want and self-educate, only if you are willing to.

Doesn't seem like it in the case of the UK (unlike China or India, and with Nigeria things are complicated, not everything is apparent yet). But the fact that people are still free to use cryptocurrencies AND Binance says that they are not trying to restrict the use of cryptos.
If they wanted to, they would've done it differently, applied some more strict rules.

Following the article:
It seems that the problem may lies within these formalities indeed.

Sure thing, I've never checked whether the casino is licensed or not, there are far more important things to consider, such as provably fair, reviews, software, content, bonuses, etc.

It's almost the same as a patent. The idea can be pretty shitty in its nature, but they still will give you a patent as long as you pay the money and follow some basic rules, like don't steal anyone else's idea, be new and offer potential industrial applicability.

Considering that these licenses cost thousands of $, but basically don't mean anything to customers (I don't think that this is the kind of stuff people pay attention to), many legit casinos don't bother buying and maintaining them.

Oh, there's a whole lot of reasons why certain slots (or whole providers) aren't available.
For one, I can say that this is decided by the companies responsible for the creation and distribution of slots, they impose restrictions, not the casino website itself (and in no way the country of your residence).

You can read more about some of the reasons here: https://casino-howto.com/blog/why-some-online-slots-are-not-available-in-some-countries/

I don't think it generally got out of stock, it all depends on the country you live in. There are countries with a leading vaccination rate, like Canada, Israel, UK, Germany, where above 50-60% of the population have already been vaccinated. And vaccination is still ongoing, approximately 40 million doses are being administered daily. Only the developing countries have problems with that because the governments didn't act immediately and didn't acquire enough doses. Also, many countries suffer from crisis and simply can't afford to buy and carry out vaccination quickly, India for instance.
