I think the OP meant it as a metaphor, not direct dividents. With such a decision from Biden to increase a plan for federal government expenditures the price of Bitcoin will only be rising during 2022.
Nipped it out from the article, nice expression.

Exactly, luck we can't control, I guess 
I tried out some strategies, like playing on a low multiplier (1.2-1.5), but to make a profit from that I had to increase bets and then. one moment, when you've made a substantial profit, this happens.....the rocket "crashes" at 0 level and you lose a lot. Then again incremental increase, then sudden loss. That's why. in general, I'm in 0. But, like I said, it's a lot of fun.
Also, contrary to what you said about not playing in the auto mode, I think auto is the only way for most people to hit a very high multiplier. Otherwise, you will want to cash out at 10 or 20, because that's already very high. But only if you set auto for, say, a 100 and just go away and try to relax you will actually reach it and get the highest profit. At least that's true for me.

Are we going in that direction though? China has banned exchanges and everything else but mining. For all we know, it's only Inner Mongolia that enforced a full ban, including mining. I think that if China wanted to ban mining activity, they would've done it by now, what's there to stop them?

In any case, if they indeed prohibit mining, this activity will simply be moved someplace else, and the localization of mining is of 0 importance in regards to the price, so you're right, the effect will only be short-term.

Yeah, it happens a lot with gamblers: people turn their backs on them when something terrible happens. And I think that says more about the society we live in and the whole perception of gambling. Many family members fail to understand that addiction is a disease, and they should neither encourage nor condemn for that, but rather truly try and help.
Also, I think it says a lot about one's family, and the person with such "support" during difficult times maybe should reconsider whom to include in the closest circle and avoid this toxicity, which families can bring upon their members, it only makes things worse.

The whole sports betting itself takes less time than games like dice, slots, or even poker, which can take hours. But doesn't it also take time to analyze the possible game outcomes if you really want to win? Search the odds, find some additional info about the team. I myself bet on sports, but don't watch sports games on a regular basis, which is why sports betting can be even more time-consuming than other games

For some reason, it seems that Telegram is a very popular platform among these scammers. It's not the first time someone shares such an experience about an offer to bet on rigged games, where the person in the chat allegedly knows the outcome.
But no matter, the important thing here is critical thinking, which many people avoid (if these spammers keep attracting users, this means sometimes these schemes work!).
People should analyze: Why would that person suggest collab and risk discovering this unlawful activity for 50%, when he can take the whole 100%?
But they just ignore that, which is why, I think, the best option here is don't even open these chats and directly block when someone sees smth of the sort, this will rid people of temptation, powered by greed.

What you're saying is true, only you've forgotten about, perhaps, the most crucial part in any business - competitors. Though we have to admit, Musk definitely has a name and his word means a lot, this, however, doesn't exclude cars like Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt or EV by Volkswagen.
Having Tesla is prestigious, but it is also pretty expensive, so many people can prefer other models over Tesla if their true intentions are to care for the environment and not the show-off. 

Wait-wait, how did we jump from gold straight to crypto? Are you suggesting that crypto is as good an instrument for hedging inflation as gold? Then I'm about to disappoint you...
First of all, gold isn't such a good hedge, it's been shown many times. Secondly, crypto is even something riskier.
Yes, Bitcoin can be up by 400% anytime soon, but have you considered that it's as likely to be down? No matter how much you believe in crypto, you have to be rational. Putting all assets at stake is irrational, IMO.

He's 100% right, Bitcoin can't be destroyed. Paradoxically, local restrictions in different countries may even lead to the increased price, because the hodlers won't be able to sell.
Also, people will always have access to Bitcoin through darknet or make transactions using hardware wallets. The only thing the govs can actually affect is exchanges, so this limits the ability to withdraw. I think such bans will lead to the emergence and spread of underground exchanges. Bitcoin will live!

Iran has long had (since 2018) a banking ban for Bitcoin, which prohibited any financial institutions to get involved with crypto. So I figure they never were much of fans. Basically, all they needed is a little push, a sign after which they would enforce a full ban.
And taking into account close economic relations between Iran and China (supported by the fact, that China put in billions of dollars to help Iran develop the oil industry) we can assume that there had been some kind of inside agreement between these countries, that made Iran follow the lead.

I get your idea, but chess is a 100% skill game (maybe 99% if we assume that nothing can be devoid of the element of luck), then why 90% for poker is too much?
Basically, in chess, both of the players are in the same conditions, that's why everything depends on the strategy while in poker, at the first sight, people can different cards, which is why luck plays its part too.
But in the long run, are the hands that different? It's the same cards, it's the same rules and many-many deals, so, eventually, by the end of the game, all of the players would have been in both bad and good conditions for the win, right?
And with a good amount of skill you can even win with bad cards (that's what harizen what pointing out). So I'd say it can even be higher, than 90% skill  

While buying NOT at the very lowest point of the bottom might result in getting less profit in the end, the profit still will be, right? Because it's a bear market, which means that sooner or later the price will recover, the only risk here - is not to be patient enough to wait for that moment. But can it be considered as "loss", if the person bought not at the lowest price, but still ended up making a good profit?

As for me, I personally wait for the moment when the price starts to go up a little at a stable rate, which's generally a good sign, that the previous point was the lowest. Yes, with this approach you won't buy the lowest, but you're also avoiding the risk of buying at the high point of the slope.

My gambling preferences changed over time. At first, I was most into dice but turned out kinda bad for me, I was losing a lot. Then I got familiar with card games, especially poker. That is, to date, my favorite, I like that it not only depends on chance, but you can actually learn and improve.
I also play crash from time to time, I think this one is only for fun, I'm not making any profit with it, but not losing either, but it takes some nerves and brings emotions, I like that. I don't know blast, but from what I see on the picture and judging from your description it looks just like crash (and the name is kind of similar).
Also sometimes I do slots, but they're very addictive, so I try to stay away from that one

Wow, looks both dangerous and exciting! I didn't know such a competition existed. I knew there are certain people, e.g. Tolkien fans that participate in Medieval-like fights, but that's just for fun, maybe small groups even make bets, but you can bet on anything when it comes to a close circle of people.
Now, this is a whole new level, and it must be entertaining to watch. However, I'm not sure how to place bets in such competitions, especially when there's 150 vs 150, it's too difficult to evaluate the strength, the chances of winning, as this is not a common sport.

It's not the only difference, e-payment and BTC are so different it's not ever right to compare them. It's a whole new system, a new era, the only common thing with e-payment and BTC is that they both payments aren't done physically, but e-payment is, essentially, fiat, only transferred in a specific way, while Bitcoin isn't just a form of payment.
- PoW (Bitcoin) vs PoS (e-money), makes Bitcoin less vulnerable to attacks and manipulation attempts
- limited amount of BTC coins vs the potentially unlimited amount of fiat
- runs on a blockchain system
- decentralized
- no third-party verification of transactions (which is why, if you stick to certain rules and use mixers you can avoid tracing)
- total control over your funds
- many use it as an investment, by many countries Bitcoin is considered an asset, rather than a form of payment
The list can go on, but, I think, you can see the extent of the difference at this point.

Not in the slightest, it's happened so many times already that people should be "immune" to such things. I really don't get where all the panic comes from, haven't we been through this, like, a dozen times? In fact, I'm waiting for the BTC to drop a little more to buy lower, it's a really good opportunity now for hodlers.
But I don't envy people that need to withdraw BTC this instant and don't have much choice. I think, in such a situation, maybe it's even better to borrow money and wait through this decline than withdraw.

Though it is said "Once an accident, twice a coincidence, three times a pattern", strange as it may sound..might it be just a coincidence this time? I just don't see any logical explanation behind these 4-year periods. But what isn't a coincidence is China's involvement in all this. Honestly, up until now, I didn't realize that they were going against crypto all along.
And regarding halving, though it is known that Bitcoin price naturally goes up after each halving, we can see that in all these years the real surge in price was caused rather by something political, social, than technical.

I haven't received such gifts, as many here, and I think the reason for that is that gambling sites rarely require you to do an ID verification and since you got a bd they probably asked for that, right? Gambling is illegal in many countries, so not many people would want to declare identity.
But it's good that you got your present. I constantly see 1xbet ads, but never tried that because of the bad reviews, many complaints about payoffs, etc. Did you have any problems with that?

I guess this is an outdated Bachelor thesis, in such a case
I don't know how is it possible that you're so much out of step since all the world talks about what Musk is doing, it's all over the news. Simply go through the threads here for the past month and you'll see how much things have changed.

The way I see it, such decisions will only harm China and Inner Mongolia, so there's nothing to worry about. This will either lead to the relocation of miners to other spots, where mining is legal, or they will be substituted with others. It's a very competitive field right now, so when someone drops out of the game there will be plenty to take their places.
I wonder what will China do about mining, clearly, they are against any crypto-related activity, on the other hand, just enforcing a ban like that won't be easy for a country that accounts for >60% of all the Bitcoin mining.
