I think that Satoshi got inspired by the earlier "digital money" consepts.
I'm hella sure that he read that before making his own concept since it was out long time ago even at the time he thought of it. He might have been inspired by the Friedrich Hayek theory about "competing money"(I don't remember the correct term).Friedrich Hayek wanted money to be out of the control of central banks,because central banks monetary policies were damaging the business cycle and creating inflation.
The concept of a currency,that isn't controlled by any central bank or government in the world is the main idea of Bitcoin.That consept isn't invented by Satoshi itself.
He may be, but I'm also calling Wei Dai (which could be the real Satoshi with some old conspiracies) to be his inspiration since Wei Dai developed cryptography library and created the B-money cryptocurrency system. It was not the recession that happened in 2008, simply the dates will tell you why. |

Bitcoin's price is not dependent on just a single factor. It is influenced by many factors and news is one of them.
I have personally seen cases where a news has triggered a good spike in bitcoin's price.
So in my opinion it does influence cryptocurrencies' price.
It does not depend on the single factor, maybe the news is just one of it but holds a lot of percentage to influence the price. Not all the factors that affects the price of bitcoin has the same amount of effect, do you think Craig's opinion matter every time he speaks? ofcourse it does not but a global news like corona virus can really affect the movement of price especially when it is very serious. However it depends to the people, people are the ones behind the price so the price is people and the only thing you can influence is the people. |

Cryptocurrencies are illegal in Russia only because of the conservatism of power. Of course, they will not be able to ban them, there will not be enough strength or money to completely exclude cryptocurrency in Russia. Aleksey Guznov literally just over a week ago announced a complete ban on cryptocurrencies in Russia, and has already managed to change his mind. It is clear that the law on the ban was spontaneous and he did not even understand the issue.
Even if they completely ban Bitcoin still, they couldn't stop it since it was decentralized. Most countries could ban Bitcoin but only in their country but not entirely. And what could possibly be their reasons why they have to ban Bitcoin if it didn't cause any harm to them? Bitcoin is just a technology/tools used by the bad people to take advantage of what others couldn't do. Yeah, so they admit it and every country should admit it too. You cannot just cut the use of cryptocurrency especially bitcoin unless you decided to cut the internet off of your country and lose all your data and satellites. They don't need to tell us this, they don't even need to ban it coz there is not absolute reason to do it. Russians are strong when it comes to technology, and ever try to hinder the new added one. Decentralization of the network made it possible to make the banning useless and the government knows about it. |

Everyone knows Craig is Satoshi.
Everyone? Stop joking man. rofl. Craig? really? isn't he the one who is taking shit with bitcoin? Although he is Computer Scientist never I imagine that he is going to be the creator of it. Most of people here disregarded his claims coz no one is really believing to him, but why? simply because if he does then he should be promoting it and not spreading negativity about it. Basic logic will analyze. I don't want to think that he's already dead. Just like the opinion of others, he left bitcoin and probably moving on to another project with the same vision.
Yeah me too, I want to think that he is alive and is smiling because of what he created but man he is not having a glimpse on the media even a anonymous message for us all. I think what Satoshi's message is the bitcoin itself. |

I think that during various competitions, the spectators are exposed to the risk of infection in the first place! Sometimes there are tens of thousands of spectators! And there's a high probability that the infection will spread... Therefore, temporary losses in sporting events will be recovered after quarantine is lifted!
Across the world and in all fields Corona virus 2019 has impacted to everyone. Many countries or cities are in the lockdown mode and world is already in the recession. Also not sure when will the lockdown gets open up and virus get completely away from this earth. It is testing times for all and better to have savings in such times so that it is helpful in the future when required as downturn will continue for some more time. The pandemic seems to hard to handle because no one's really ready, even an alternative solution for this one. Many things are laying low due to the disease, NBA paused their season to avoid their players getting infected after some of them have tested positive with the virus. USA with 400K confirmed cases have to do a lot of work to get the virus out especially in New York City which is the heart of their economy. |

This might be the right time, but I think it still depends on the gambler because even if this lockdown affects everything including sports, they can still do other gambling activities.
This lockdown may be used as their chance to at least lessen or totally recover from their addiction, it is all about their choice and their willingness to forget their gambling activity.
I bet even the non-gambler would play during these days of pandemic, why? because we are all bored for just staying at home. Obviously, us, gamblers would get so much time playing in online casinos and quitting or coming out of addiction in gambling is pretty impossible for now although it really depends on the person if he really wants to quit. Gambling is not as conventional as the others think, it also comes along with getting rid of anxiety and depression. |

We have more complete list and more information about the casino https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5149105.0Better thread topic like this rolled into one thread on that thread just update the list on the thread cause we already have so much thread with a topic like this. that's a long list. some of them are not advertised here in the forum. i go over the list and found ph.casino. they do have the live topless dealer waving her boobs every time.  this is the kind of casino that will keep you up even when you are losing. but it must be consider nswf so the reason why its not doing campaigns here. What? I would love to play on that platform then haha lol. Kidding aside, I don't find the live dealing casino with naked girls waving their titties that relevant for someone who wants to play for the money, it can defocus you from playing isn't it? I find the list given by the OP too short however the listed platforms are also given have reputations in the forum, in fact some did have campaigns here but we are going to list the full gambling platforms I guess we are going to take a long time listing it all. |

In Wuhan, they had a very strict lockdown for 11 weeks (two and half months). So the bare minimum is 2.5-3 months. But we also need to remember that the crisis peaks in one country and then moves to the next one. First it was China, then it was South Korea and Iran before moving on to the European Union. It has peaked in Italy and Spain, but the situation looks hopeless in France/UK/Sweden. And during the past few days, huge number of new cases are being reported from the United States.
If we base to the cases of covid to call it the new epicenter then we should say it's the U.S.A, the new epicenter of the virus with over 400,000 confirmed cases which is a lot more cases than the second that only have 140,000 in Spain. We can say that China get rid over the virus with 90% recovery rate but I'm not as satisfied as I should be because it is very suspicious. If we are talking how long this would take us to conquer, I'd say we are in half of getting this disease be gone as doctors are seeing the light after having a recovery from patient that had a plasma therapy from another recovered patient. |

It's true that Chinese market didn't crash as the other markets but I think they correct in the future as there is a sharp fall in demand which will affect the Chinese economy as they are major exporting country and the way the managed the spread is still not believed by several people but if they do it a legit way then its a great thing which everyone should follow
Is it great that the world is struggling? yet China has seen 90% recovery rate from covid cases. There is really something fishy, what's going on? Wuhan is just a 1000 KM away from Beijing yet there are no massive effects are being brought to Beijing, but Wuhan to New York City which is 12,000 KM away from Wuhan is having a hard time containing the virus. Naturally, near provinces in the epicenter of pandemic should have more cases than those who are away. Something is really fishy isn't it? |

That would be a great website considering there are a lot of other casual games that you could do with it. The factor right now is that you are going to take a long time (depending on the level of the competition) in Chess just to finish a game. I'm wondering if there are serious people who want that?
For some people, they want a quick games like dice that's why dice is on top of casinos right now. Chess game would take so much time especially when both end are great with it, so I guess it is a turn down however there are people who is much competent with this kind of game and you can attract them with it. I'm just curious on how would that be possible and how the bets are going to place. Probably an online tournament would be the ideal practice here. Starting an online competition would be nice.
Online tournament would be good, but it needs to click first in the market. I love the idea of online chess competition held in one of gambling platform. |

Agree, it's not the time to be tempted on gambling since we need to save money since lockdown and quarantine are still implemented to avoid COVID-19. If you'll gonna waste money then It'll be over for you if the ECQ extends for a longer time. Gambling can wait, practice your self-control, it might fix your behavior towards gambling.
Save and keep your money, spend it on foods. Keep safe always!
It is very likely that most gamblers are already implementing this advice, this is not the time to spend our money in luxuries, we need that money in the case things get even worse and if this means spending less money in our gambling activities for some time then it must be done, even if I like gambling from time to time there are many things that we can do to entertain ourselves that could be very cheap or even free, if we do that then we can keep most of our money and if things improve quickly and we do not need to use that money to buy supplies then you could always gamble with that money in the future. Not all of us are here to entertain themselves, some are really professional gambler especially when they are playing a skill based games in online casinos. Besides, in times like this gamblers know their limitation since we have quarantine state all over the world, if they are not fool enough they will prioritize storing their food on fridge than risking it on gambling right? Just a quick thought, what if casinos will put a limited playing time? would it be that bad for them or their players during these times? |

Sorry,in which of the Nigeria. The NIgeria where Buhari is the president?
Ofcourse, Is there someone who should ? well, it's a good news if, so. Atiku did mention legalization of virtual currency in Nigeria if, he's elected as the president Unfortunately, he lost the election.
However, it will be great if, BUhari has same idea!
Nigeria has come to judgment and I love what they did. We know Nigeria for too long and I can really say that they are true to their ambition with bitcoin and everything that will progress their country. I know because back in the day, crypto related projects were full of Nigerian directors almost every project that I joined the CEO is Nigerian or Indian and this must be the reason why they achieve to let this things happen in their country. I haven't use any of ATMs that support bitcoin yet, but I hope there will be a good result. |

Indeed right, investment is always good and not to let your Bitcoin sleep in your wallet. But always remember the DYOR first before putting your money.
Not all the time, even the most trusted website could also possibly scam people. True, been hell through this a lot. It is not what you see on the platform, it is what the platform's intention. Researching before investing makes your life a lot comfortable knowing that you put your hard earned money to someones wallet who is capable if fulfilling his promises. It is not just about how your money will multiply in a few months, it's about how your money progress even in slow motion. For me, holding in my wallet is safer and I can sell it right away, investing all your holdings and trust it in a website is quite risky given the fact that investing in a bankroll does not guarantee a good return, and there's even no info that tells how profitable investing is on the thread that was summarize by OP.
I guess the OP defined saving as it it will be just store the value, nothing to win and nothing to lose. Investments are pretty good with respect to time especially when it is in goods hands, risky but worth it. |

This was expected because investors were probably pull back their crypto or non-crypto assets into fiat just because preparing in covid19 lockdown.
Yeah, Looking at the bigger picture this is the problem that everything is facing not just the stock market, crypto space or oil industry. What I mean by everything is literally everything. The pull downs are due to the virus, we don't have any thing to blame but this one coz it's not a coincidence. And this is not the first time that we have seen a market declining because of the pandemic, we already seen it from the past. I f you will see, this pandemic has a huge impact on the global market. Sometimes we think that it is correlated or just a coincidence. It is really hard to explain but experts have explanation on this by their predictions and theories and 90% the same result. Just because of covid19.
There is no direct correlation however this is not a coincidence, so what is it then? I have nothing to coin it but it is pretty obvious tho. |

Yeah, my bad.
But the whole major will be done online so I don't think it is the matter of going across the country but because of the internet connection they have. That is the reason why Topson and Midone can't join the lineup.
Went every team playing an online tournament, most of them will be playing at their own Bootcamp. Wouldn't be it so comfortable playing at your own PC? coz I find it too comfy and it is a confidence gainer as a matter of fact. The only problem is the internet connection stability, they should come up with back up internet provider so they could just easily switch from another if ever there is a server or lagging issue. We will be watching monsters playing at their own caves, too exciting isn't it? If each person playing on their own place would be not good for the teamwork, discussion strategy, and draft. I think the problem not an internet connection, but about teamwork will be not maximal since they only discuss using a mic. That's why they using Ceb & 33 to fill the empty slot, since Ceb & 33 was free,
Bad news is that Topson is not playing, good news is that Sumail is getting back to middle lane. Can't wait to study the movement on the map with Sumail on mid. |

I like this community I always saw a thread like this that always reminds people to avoid addiction. We are very lucky here that we are always reminded of each other sharing ideas like this. Perhaps a gambler that came from this community will never be addicted because you can apply these kinds of suggestion, --if you are solely in gambling. Indeed, these are nonsense if you did not apply in your self.
Still what were the use of those threads because we are continuously seeing a lot of people are still getting gambling addiction and losing their hard earned money. I mean to say these kind of discussions will not stop those gamblers but they will learn their lessons by their own way. I am not saying that we do not need such threads but I feel only part of this community acts in responsible way and rest of community never understand their own responsibilities. These threads will serve its original purposes only when we trigger gambler to start realizing their life's responsibilities. Only for a responsible gambler, being controlled while gambling will be possible like OP suggested. The first thing is enabling this community to realize their responsibility as a gambler then suggestions to them wills tart working. This forum, especially this thread is just an extension of the mind more likely to support every one on what they are taking in relate to cryptocurrency. Well as a gambler it is your duty to ensure your safety dealing with online casinos that is why researching is vital that would cost you a little time in exchange of prevention to lose everything. I've seen some people are having hard time dealing with their addiction, mental health and other negative stuff caused by gambling, the real problem is with them coz if they want to change their lifestyle they should start changing their mindset first. |

 I voted for Sports betting but the voting suggests dice game to be the most safest for the newbies. I dont agree to this as dice games are not the safe, they are risky one. Yes, dice games are easy to play for the newbies. Probably that is right but OP's ask about gambling that they can play during this lockdown. All sports events are affected with the coronavirus pandemic breakout so maybe all events have been canceled and I heard that also NBA sports were now canceling their events too. More likely it is, however I've been reading some news that E-sports in different games are trying to bring up a online tournament so there might a chances that you can place a bet on it too. Sadly, physical games like in NBA, Football etc. are cancelled due to the outbreak of coronavirus. Even me, I suffer from not watching NBA lol. I tent to agree that the high odds games are risky but yet they are easy to learn. My suggestion always has research on which game they were suitable, there are too many gambling sites out there that not based on luck that usually high odds. Or maybe E-sports but make sure their game was verified.
I started playing with card games since I know a lot of card games but then it turns out that dice are way more fun and all you need is luck getting pretty much enough for a 50 50 prob. |

Nakasubaybay ako sa mga nangyayari about sa report na to at alam mo masyado nang tumatagal ang pag proseso ng mga bagay na to, given na mag iisang buwan na tayong under Quarantine and almost 2 weeks under Enhanced Quaratine e dapat naayudahan na nila agad ang mga tao. Ito dapat ang urgent na pinoproseso kasabay ng mga testing kits and centers. Sa mga gumagamit ng mga surgical masks kapag, please check kung protektado ba talaga kayo nyan. Watch the breath test video para malaman kung peke ang mask o hindi. Dagdag problema pa yung mga low quality made or worst fake mask na binebenta ngayon sa market, talamak to ngayon, imbis na lumalabas ang taong protektado para makaiwas sa hawaan eh ang nagiging resulta lang ay lumalabas sila ng unprotected. https://i.insider.com/5e691773e4f9fe6069578734?width=1200&format=jpeg eto yung masks na talagang effective sa panahon ngayon : 1. Quality made na Surgical Mask 2. N95 masks ( ito yung gamit ko pag lumalabas ng bahay) Mas nafifilter yung air particles compare sa surgical mask Then different kinds ng respirator, mga pangsala na talaga ng airborne particles 100% safe sa virus.
While the IATF is still discussing kung i-extend ang ECQ, some trivia muna tayo. Ibig sabihin pala ng salitang "Quarantine" ay a period of 40 days (source). Ayon sa Wikipedia, galing ang salitang ito sa "Quarantena" na ibig sabihin ay forty days. KWARENTA? makes sense bro, good point. The word "quarantine" originates from quarantena, the Venetian language form, meaning "forty days".[13][3] This is due to the 40-day isolation of ships and people practiced as a measure of disease prevention related to the plague.[13] Between 1348 and 1359, the Black Death wiped out an estimated 30% of Europe's population, and a significant percentage of Asia's population.[13] Such a disaster led governments to establish measures of containment to handle recurrent epidemics.[13] A document from 1377 states that before entering the city-state of Ragusa in Dalmatia (modern Dubrovnik in Croatia), newcomers had to spend 30 days (a trentine) in a restricted place (originally nearby islands) waiting to see whether the symptoms of Black Death would develop.[13] In 1448 the Venetian Senate prolonged the waiting period to 40 days, thus giving birth to the term "quarantine".[1] The forty-day quarantine proved to be an effective formula for handling outbreaks of the plague. Dubrovnik was the first city in Europe to set up quarantine sites such as the Lazzarettos of Dubrovnik were arriving ship personnel were held for up to 40 days.[14] According to current estimates, the bubonic plague had a 37-day period from infection to death; therefore, the European quarantines would have been highly successful in determining the health of crews from potential trading and supply ships.[15] Kaya alam niyo na, hindi talaga pang-30 days lang  Panong hindi mas tatagal ng 30-40 days ang quarantine eh eksaktong 1month after nag declare ng quarantine bago mag mass testing dahil ngayon lang naaprubahan ang testing kits donated from China and other foundations ng DOH. Although di naman ako nagmamadali ano, ginagawa lahat ng gobyerno para maresolba pero parang di sumasapat, sumasamabay din kase yung ibang problema sa bansa. Biruin mo sobrang luwang ng kalsada may mga naaksidente pa, ang malala nyan involve pa minsan ang mga ambulansya. ( di ko na makita yung balita na yun pero that was about 2 days ago) Then eto pa ang masakit, see this https://www.philstar.com/nation/2020/04/03/2005296/ambulance-driver-shot-over-suspicion-ferrying-covid-19-patients , may binaril na ambulance driver. KUKULANGIN PA BA ANG ISANG BUWAN o 40 DAYS NG QUARANTINE? ANO SA TINGIN NYO? DAHIL MUKANG AABOT PA TO HANGGANG MAY or JUNE PERO WAG NAMAN SANA |

Not only that, there are many people and businessmen who believe in Bitcoin. In my opinion, Tesla's CEO Elon Musk believes in Bitcoin and crypto money, but does not express it clearly. Even the most recent Bill Gates said he had changed his mind.
Unfortunately, we cannot reach a place with only these views. For us, larger-scale developments that will affect daily life
I believe that Microsoft used Bitcoin for purchasing their products before, so I am not surprised that Gates kinda supported Bitcoin. I am not sure the place that we're aiming here, but as long as we can use it to send money to other people as well as invest into it, then I think we're already at our destination here in crypto. Maybe we're just looking at the price all these times, that's why we're still aiming for higher. We're not that very sure where bitcoin could be picked one day but I guess these people know how bitcoin would be in the next few years of existence especially it slowly taking a spot in a payment method for a variety of companies, not just companies but a popular and well lit companies. Indeed bitcoin is way more than investment, a currency in fact that will changed the whole system, bitcoin cannot be just as static as investment. Sooner or later we'll start to see bitcoin with more recognition from the big players. |
