I am not entirely sure if that is even possible, I mean think about it if there were machines that could test withing minutes, the whole nations would have gotten it by now, it would have been basically done to every single human, however instead we are dealing with tens of thousands of people a day right now, still a good number of course but not unlimited like this article makes the machine sound like.

In the end it is always good to see NBA working towards corona virus, they are super ultra rich and the money they are putting into this would help NBA (which is why they are doing) but it would eventually help other people as well indirectly. Has anybody heard about what the salary cut thing resulted with? There was talks about something between 25% to 50% cut for this years money, I don't know what happened with it.

I agree on all of them and they are basically common sense stuff that you should be figuring out yourself without really seeing anything but at the same time it would be wiser to actually realize these people who do not follow these rules also do know these rules but still can't follow anyway.

I mean think about it, a person who takes a loan to gamble, do you really think that he doesn't realize how deeply disturbing what he is doing? But they are addicted so you can't really stop them at all. Or a person who spends so much money on gambling that they hurt their family with lack of funds for stuff they need to live with. These guys who do not follow this 6 steps actually knows what they are doing yet they are doing it again because they are addicted and have problems.

Honestly bitcoin dice gambling has been around for probably around a decade now, satosidice was the first one and I do not remember when it first ever started but it must be getting close to a decade nowadays, or maybe one year away. With all of that in mind, can people still be shocked that they can lose too many times in a row? That happens when you gamble too much, you also win too many times in a row as well but in martingale you do not realize it all that much unfortunately.

Just realize already that in a long enough period of time people will lose too many times in a row that martingale is not a perfect idea, if it was everyone would do martingale and get rich and casinos would bankrupt, the only reason why casinos are still standing is the fact that eventually you will lose.

This is what crypto can achieve and this is why it needs to be more widely available all around the world and accepted in a lot more places. Crypto basically allows you to connect with people financially all over the world and that is really the biggest thing that nobody really talks about too much. When you are in some X country that is far away from a Y country, you can send each other as much as billions or as little as a dollar, or even less, cents, less than cents. This is the real awesomeness of crypto.

Plus, we have also done a lot of charitable work as well as crypto, this is just one example of it but there has been a ton of crypto charities going around in the past decade as well. Do you know why there were really successful? Because it can get money from every single person around the world.
3405  Economy / Speculation / Re: Stimulus plus halving could cause the real crypto bull on: April 05, 2020, 05:51:40 PM
Normally, the stimulus should have the impact of giving companies a lot cheaper access to money, that money used for expanding the business or at least keep it afloat, pay the workers their salaries and keep the money making churning until all of this over and then go back to what it was.

However as we can see companies take advantage of this situation, still fire people, still not grow, still basically do nothing to make the country more profits, only take that money and make a bigger profit for themselves and pay the CEO huge sums of cash in bonuses to continue like what they do, only the shareholders and CEO makes money, nobody else makes any money at all. Hopefully, they will eventually start hiring back because there is still  so many unemployed people out there who will need jobs when this is all over.
3406  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin last forever? on: April 05, 2020, 10:56:52 AM
I doubt we will ever see another coin replacing bitcoin, we will probably see "something" replace bitcoin eventually but probably not another coin. Right now we are talking about crypto currency that is backed by blockchain and all of them race each other, bitcoin is so high that it worths more than all of the other ones combined together, that tells me that no other coin will ever pass bitcoin, some other one might become second and beat ethereum one day, it all depends on if there is a good one and if ethereum falls, but nothing could pass bitcoin if you ask me.

However that doesn't mean that something much better than blockchain and crypto will never come, maybe with technology there will be something that is a better version of blockchain and we will start using that instead.
3407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep track of your gambling? how? on: April 05, 2020, 08:29:51 AM
do you registerhow much you separate for gambling?
do you see it as an investment?
I understand that you are questioning about how much money people here are allocating for gambling purposes and spending money for gambling is an investment for a fee for entertainment? I never have a budget for gambling anymore as I have already lost big money in gambling. From my own experience, gambling should not be considered as an investment opportunity hence expecting a return for the money you gamble with, will definitely lead further big losses as you may start chasing your losses if you consider entire gambling as an income stream.

if yes, how do you track it?
simples spreadsheets, physical notebooks or maybe some different way?
When I was an intensive gambler I do track my all gambling activities with a spreadsheet. Because, I gambled at least 5 different gambling houses at a time with different strategies; to keep track of my bankroll and strategies, I needed some references and from that I developed the habit of tracking them with a sheet.

But, I suggest everyone NOT to go in gambling into a level where you need a spreadsheet to keep your records. Just gamble with your least affordable money and then forget it regardless of you make profits or not. Again start as a new gambler with fresh mindset yet with least money and enjoy your gambling and leave it for some time and then repeat!
3408  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit – The original crash game on: April 04, 2020, 09:01:28 PM
There is couple of stuff wrong with that link though. First of all is it just me or do you only see from 18th of march to today, I can't see anything before that, I would love to see some sort of chart that is basically exactly the same but from all of 2020 which we could analyze a lot better to see if lockdown had any affects or not. Secondly this is a second hand place, its not directly from bustabit and I am not 100% trusting a third party with the numbers devans could provide.

I still think we should wait for devans to provide some sort of chart himself, that would be a lot better and further back and more trustworthy. However, it is not something he has to share neither, he doesn't have to do it and that is something I can totally understand if he doesn't.
3409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Business That Survives when a Crisis on: April 04, 2020, 07:49:47 PM
Esports definitely got a huge spike during this period, they have been the unloved child of sportsbooks and really not get as much as the regular sports while betting but during this period they have gotten a lot more attention and they have been getting a lot more wagering going on in esports.

Lottery is definitely wouldn't be in my list, it is still as slow and close to impossible as ever, there must be some lottery increase but doubt it is as big as people imagine, I would instead put poker in there, a lot of places are now doing online poker tournaments which is getting a lot more attention if you ask me. And of course the biggest one is casino games like dice, they are definitely getting more and more people these days and that is obvious from the results.
3410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 04, 2020, 05:59:29 PM
Honestly, it all depends on how low he is willing to go now as well and not "if" he can play in europe. Dude is a good player but he was a huge wage that was not needed and if he moved to another team he would have to get a lower salary and he didn't wanted that. Now he played somewhere he doesn't want to just for money, he might have realized that money you are making right now is important but if you are willing to give up on today and make some more in the future that is sometimes worth more.

If he agrees on playing in some lower European clubs for a season or so and show his talents and how he is still good, he can still make a comeback. Ibrahimovic still played at age 38 so he still has a lot of time to comeback and still play at a decent club if he shows he is still good.

If I was him, I would wait until next season since leagues are not going on right now, pick an Italian team that is low on the rankings, play there for a season, if he is good as he thinks he is, he will be picked up by a better team following season.
3411  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What exactly does a good project needs. on: April 04, 2020, 12:56:28 PM
Innovation is very very important, you are building a project in the lands of projects, there are probably close to 5k coins/tokens right now in the world, thousands of them didn't day of light and they are all gone, probably around 3k of them are still around somewhere in the world and around 1000 of them actually gets listed somewhere right now.

It means you have a HUGE competition and in order to stand out somehow you need to innovate, you need to do something that will actually change the world or at least make a huge impact on the crypto world. You may think the innovation and the idea you have is enough, but I can promise you that it is not really enough, you have to do even more and more so that you can show the world that you are "the one" otherwise people will just overlook you.
3412  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: It doesn't look like binance taking over coinmarketcap on: April 04, 2020, 10:37:14 AM
I guess 400 million dollars was a lot of money to begin with, maybe they will pay a lot less and just partner up, that way binance wouldn't have to pay too much for the whole company, keep most of the money themselves, and work with CMC to improve their AI and help them realize what the real volume is and what the fake volume is, they probably have access to such product already so it would be easy to implement anyway.

New CEO wasn't really all that much needed, after all the current CEO is the one who brought everything to this point, love him or hate him dude was the reason why CMC was getting interest from all over the world and why Binance is getting any interest in them as well. Hopefully the new CEO will be even better otherwise it will be seen as a horrible decision.

3414  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading on DEX's - What's your experience? on: April 02, 2020, 07:25:36 PM
I have only traded on binance dex once and it felt nothing like dex, it felt like a regular exchange, if I didn't know the difference and didn't know it was dex, I could swear it was a regular exchange like any other. I suppose when people get used to it, it is not really all that different, you could simply just act as if it is centralized if you really want to trade there or you can feel like dex is giving you more power.

However I do not even believe that binance has a true dex, theirs is basically a dex until they decide it is not and that is not something I would want to give power to anyone, a dex based on a chain that is risky is never the solution a true dex should be on ethereum because its big enough to not get under control of one person.

Yeah, I haven't joined any so far as well because the start time of the tourney is quite late for me, even if I join it by that time and stay awake, the ending would mean I would play basically around morning, well early morning maybe I don't know, or very late night, basically not hours that I would really like to play. Maybe we could ask steve to have tourneys 12 hours apart? That way we could have two tourneys that we can actually join, one would be perfect for everyone no matter where you live and what time zone you are in because there is 12 hour difference, if one is not alright the other one will definitely be alright.

Also, I hope that you guys make the poker a bit like a different tab instead of making it a screen inside a screen type of thing it is right now.
3416  Economy / Speculation / Re: The bitcoin halving, whales manipulations and its 2020 price valuation on: March 29, 2020, 07:24:47 PM
Whales do not have a manipulation at this stage during the sell time. I mean they had nothing to do with the stock market neither. The world is just in a big ball of fire right now that we are going to end of times, maybe it is not as severe as that but many people think of it like that. I have literally read a news story about a guy who went to his nuke attack bunker type of place with all the things he needs and plans on not going out until all of this is over. A BUNKER, he is that much scared.

Now, when there are people who are actually that much scared from something like this, you can't really expect people to suddenly see this as a normal thing. It means it will take some time to recover and that has nothing to do with whales, it is just human emotions.
3417  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think? on: March 28, 2020, 07:16:43 PM
I doubt that corona will be "resolved" all that easily, humanity will just adjust to it and starts living with it, you think swine flu or bird flu or influenza or whatever else just gone away totally? They no longer exists? They are still around, they still kill many people as well, we just started to learn how to live with it and it doesn't kill as much as it used to because we have medicine against them.

So, what will happen is we will find a cure, we will fix many of the sick, there won't be many that are sick and out there anymore, anyone who gets it will go to doctors and get better, and that way people would be allowed to go outside because even if you get infected you will be cured so there is no problem anymore. That is not something we do overnight.

3419  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Lightning Network - Thoughts? on: March 27, 2020, 01:55:04 PM
Think about it, exchanges make a killing from the withdrawal fees, they are using segwit and lets say they pay 300 satoshi for 5 transactions in a single move from one wallet, they collect 500 satoshi from each of them making a 2200 satoshi profit.

Now you may say 2200 satoshi is nothing but that is just one transaction, think about how many withdrawals happens in the big places, these dudes literally make thousands of dollars per day from the excess withdrawal money they ask from people.

So, if the whole world changes to LN, that would mean the end of all those profits for exchanges, well when exchanges do not accept deposits from LN and they do not withdraw to LN that means the whole world has to accept the fact that they will not use LN at all. Only possible way would be some exchanges start accepting LN as an option to get more users and be competitive, which will result with others following because they are losing users to their competition.

Unfortunately our odds provider is not very good with esports, however we are definitely looking at expanding our esports offerings.
Well, that is all you may do for us during this hard times, please just try your best. I do not understand any provider who is not looking into esports nowadays, I mean I get it, regular sports is still getting a ton of more money wagered on them (well not now, they are postponed, but in general) and esports is nowhere near that amount. However, don't they think that esports is literally getting bigger and bigger? Some cs:go skin websites making gambling available for knife trading is getting more attention than all of esportsbook companies combined, why? Because, it is actually making it for the gamers themselves.

There is money to be made right there, but providers do not take it, because lets face it they do not really understand gaming at all, they think its childish and let millions of dollars of income go. Makes no sense to me but I do believe stake must be doing their best.
