Interesting.
Let the investor not forget the important things that make Bitcoin valuable and attractive to people who understand it. It can't be considered real Bitcoin anymore if it stops being Well Decentralized (Satoshi seems to think it's "Completely Decentralized" ), Very Transparent , Immutable, Censorship Resistant, Permissionless/Trustless, Privacy-friendly/Anonymity-friendly, Secure, Deflationary, Consensus-based, etc,
I think the wealth it produces should come mainly from these important ideals so that they're encouraged more than the "contrary ideals"(fiat-like ideals such as centralization, poor transparency, darkness, privacy violations, inflation, censorship etc..)

I doubt it's up that percentage. Even the safe bettors who bet regularly would not be upto that percentage atall, not to talk of 70% of the country's adult population engage in very risk bettings. It's possible that number of people who bet occasionally in the country is up to that percentage though. Calling 70% of the adults gamblers (gamblers in betting) is likely an exaggeration

I wondered if the fund is already his. Gambling(or taking big financial risk in this case) with public funds or funds not owned by the gambler isn't something that should be taken lightly. I would judge things differently and probably be a bit considerate if the risk affects him alone.

Things I used to comfort myself with back then when big disasters like earthquakes hit somewhere around the world.
Anyway, I do not really agree with Op opinion on the future... but we need to understand the fact that our world is deteorating, evil will increase, humans will become more desperate/evil, false savior will arise, he will deceive lots of people with false miracles, false messiah & people he rule over will try to fight the Real MESSIAH but will be destroyed effortlessly.
The World will later be renewed, paradise restored, the chosen inherit it etc

More interested to know why the art work is worth that much. Does it really deserve the price? What's is in the art that made buyers willing to pay that much?
Doesn't make sense yet until it makes sense.

As long as you won't be triggered to commit sexual sin with your partner before marriage. 
I think it's Better to be sure of marrying your partner before considering that.
Imagine what happens to the body when both partner steadily stare into the eyes of each other in "intensed way"


From my experience, once you are freed from sexual sins, you think more clearly, and there are other wonderful benefits

Did you fall victim to the email? Just wondering, considering your topic says you are being scammed.

The message looks suspicious...
Probably written that way to get their victims to be desperate, make them to pay certain amount or send something valuable or exploit them in other ways in exchange for the "transferred money", and then the victims get scammed once they obey and pay.

I would investigate how they got my email address in the first place, as I don't expose my main address that much.

From my little understanding, seems they want to phase out physical currency to be able to properly monitor how people use their money, to be able to have more control over the financial system, for the sake of hygiene etc...
Well, I don't believe they can phase out physical currency if they really understand what currency is.
I guess they could impose this in places where people/things are sufficiently controlled by them (or an entity).

I guess they were shocked by the prizes than their bodies could handle.
My body sometimes get overwhelmed in the past by shocking news that I avoid things that will shock me, or I learned not to get attached to things for the sake of my body.
Nothing surprises too much these days. And my body tend to handle shock much better than before. Health is very important (both physical and spiritual health)


✳ It's also very Important that people know how to break shocking news to others in ways they can cope with

I think you judge the case based on the level of risk he exposed himself and others to with the money. Almost everyone (apart from few people) expose his/herself to big risk with the kind of things he/she spends money on. The main problem is if it's habitual and intentionally. Those who do it intentionally or habitually will likely receive more "punishment" in just society(and helped).  Those who do it unintentionally and occasionally(or even habitually) could be given light "punishment" and helped too.

I believe it's good for everyone to be responsible adults so that they don't have too much problems in life, and others don't get "infected" and start being reckless.

I believe it's possible if you could regulate the  supply to keep the coin scarce or reduce the supply while its demand is high.
If it is a very useful coin with high demand, and the community for example locks enough of the supply, it will likely go up sharply

It needs to remain a decentralized currency. That's part of what makes it unique. I prefer an economy that shares thesame ideals built around Bitcoin and subjected to its decentralization-friendly rules, than allowing centralized entities/businesses built around it, influence and centralized it. It's basically corrupted once it's centralized and controlled by people with contrary agenda.
Your kind of question is one of reasons I prefer an autonomous Bitcoin Network free from the control of "external forces" with contrary agenda

If what they consider "gambling" are businesses that allow or encourage customers to take big risk then I think it's OK they eliminate gambling altogether. But if the government considers all kinds of bettings as "gambling" then I think they should only allow the Safe Betting Businesses. That will probably mean a massive regulation of the Betting/Prediction Market to reduce or eliminate things that may be harmful to customers and society in general. 

We are meant to live with nature in self-sustaining manner, unfortunately this not prioritize, and we are becoming less concerned about nature and living things we were created to take care of.
I think a model where lands are owned together and are well taken care of could easily work in a society where everyone is honest, good, trustworthy... and this will make the population issue not to be much of a problem. Unfortunately, this model will fail and won't be sustained due to how vulnerable humans are to evil. It can only work in a holy society.

Decentralized video streaming/sharing site would be good idea.
You'll will really need good/sustainable incentive model that can attract and retain talents and lots of others users.
YouTube is based on model that seems to reward quality, and delivers contents based on users interest. I believe lots its model could be successfully replicated on decentralized video sites if you could first of all develop a Decentralized ID system for identification of users and automatically understanding what interest them through their online activities that are linked to their decentralized ID.

Not sure I have ever had that problem where I live but I'm always conscious of the fact that big amount will attract suspicion and could possibly lead to undeserved treatment by banks , so I don't even bother taking such risk. I doubt I'll keep my entire savings or large amount in banks that are not really transparent, & can do whatever they want without your consent. Prefer to be my own bank and fully control mine. Amount I can afford to risk will remain in the centralized/opaque banks.

Ofcourse. Traders could always have extra funds reserved in stablecoin for buying up the significant dips. I think if many traders make this as a habit, they will indirectly be helping to keep the market somewhat balanced. You keep buying the dips more and sell the highs less with reserved funds from stablecoin (you can afford to risk). They market will move healthier if much of traders funds are used in this manner

To prevent people from turning it into Company/organization owned by a person or group/groups of people, rather than a Public Network of Global Communities and participants who run full nodes, participate in consensus, do business together etc

 The Bitcoin Project is way bigger than a "Company". It's Decentralized Network of  users/people, companies, organizations, marketplaces, (hopefully schools), etc. It's an autonomous Network/Nation with its guiding principles.
Network Participants are expected to hold strongly to the good ideals/principles of Bitcoin like  Decentralization, Transparency, Immutablity, Network Consensus, rules censorship resistant, privacy/anonymity, security permissionless/trustlessness, , etc.

I think I have old copies of the Whitepaper (both in text and audio forms/formats).
The Original Whitepaper will easily make sense to anyone who understands Bitcoin and its obvious principles like decentralization/peer-to-peer, transparency, immutablity, censorship resistant, permissionless, privacy, etc.
The original whitepaper can always be compared with what people claim as real the ones. The original would be in harmony with The Bitcoin Principles.

It's important to hash the real whitepaper, distribute across many well decentralized nodes(that can be easily run by most users) and keep it immutable

Ofcourse. Dreams come true. I have witness mine come true . It was a repeated dream though. Probably similar dream repeating 3 - 4times on different days/nights. I believe it was a warning dream about someone dear to me who was going through stress/problems that caused her an illness. I prayed after the dream. She unfortunately got sick few weeks later from the stress/problems and later got better.

If you are shown things like that in the dream, note it down (if you remember it exactly) and wait for it to be fulfilled. Same dream will probably be repeated to you to help you understand, remember and trust it.
