You might be right but I guess it is good opportunity for Indian bitcoiners to buy bitcoins now because the price is down and recently they allowed bitcoin transactions so I would say this is like another buying opportunity for everyone in India to buy some bitcoins before it sky rockets again very soon.

You must be careful when you read any news because if I understood correctly, they allowed bitcoins to be bought and sold because there is no law in constitution that denies the purchase of any asset but let me make it clear, I am quite sure the government hasn't legalized bitcoins for payment method just yet, although they might do it but I see the chances are pretty low for adopting bitcoins as payment option officially.

I agree with that but OP was about how to learn about bitcoins not learning crypto trading or investing.

For me, I have learned a lot about bitcoins only from youtube and this forum like how the core works, what an open ledger is and how it works. There are gigantic number of videos out there so paying to anyone for learning would be a bad idea for something that is so much publicly available.

Although most of the knowledge about bitcoins that is available publicly is about how bitcoin works but if you want to learn about how various wallets and technical aspects work or you want to make some service of your own and hence looking for information then you must hire an adviser or someone because there are many technical things that might not be known to you.

I know and strongly believe there are such activities going on and there is no way you can identity who is behind all this crap so nothing we can do about it. But on a flip side of this whenever such scam reports are made the casino also gains some extra popularity because they reach more gamblers and once they are proven innocent there is even more faith in the casino and I sometimes wonder if casinos pay people to make scam report against them and later prove that they are legit which will bring more trust to them and more solidity in the market.

This can be done both ways, there might be casinos paying to slander other casinos or they might be paying to slander their own casino just to prove themselves innocent and later gain more popularity and market trust.

Interestingly that "unnamed pistons player" turned out to be christian wood who guarded Rudy Gobert on their last matchup on Wednesday so I could probably assume that we all know how christian wood got corona, dude basically was in physical contact with Gobert for 30 minutes, it is obvious.

From what we know the case in NBA raised to three officially known ones with this after Gobert and Donovan, we all know both of them got it from Gobert as well, so the only question remains, who did Gobert got it from? That much we do not know. In any case I am glad that no other Jazz player or staff got corona, because that would be really worrying, when one person gets it it is easier to spread it around in a circle. I am glad that we are staying at three and the players are no longer playing so I hope they are taking care of themselves and not get anything.

Actually I would say the gambling industry contributes close to 50% of the market distribution because there are massive giants in market now be it primedice for dice gambling or be it sportsbet that claims to accepts single bets of 100 btc which tells how massive the market has become now. I don't think there is any crypto market as big as gambling apart from maybe altcoins which contributes a lot too but in my opinion gambling market is just too massive!

I would love to have a total wager amount combined all currently running dice websites alone and it would be huge I guess. I wish there was some tool to know which section of crypto holds how much market share right now.

I think this is the human nature. Usually humans are a greedy animal who always think for their own profits. This might even make us think for the profits only and most of the times, we might avoid looking at the looses. We should never forget that each coin has two sides and the coin may flip anytime.

I personally am prepared to face any loss without actually hurting my emotional feelings. I also do wait for the profits to knock my door but mostly I never keep my door open for the profits to enter my house anytime. I know how the markets works and this helps me in controlling my greed. I think majority of people should think the similar.

Corona virus is almost affecting each and every financial monetary system present on the entire globe. It has already created a panic globally. I've made a deep research about the epidemic and also the cure to this. It would take more than a year to create a vaccine for preventing corona virus. The virus is recently been emerged having no actual cure.

If you have the idea of preparing the vaccine in short period of time than you should not waste even a single minute and get to the work as many lives are been lost because of this deadly virus. 4000+ people are already dead and the number of infected ones is really huge. Most of the cities are on lock down. Schools and colleges are shut down. This is really creating a huge mess.

Why don't you create a similar group and try publishing it so that various actual traders might join in and it might convert into a genuine trading chat room? Usually there are a number of similar private chat rooms and even I have created a one few months ago which now has 100+ active traders and hence I've kept it private to reduce the number of scammers into the group.

Number of times, I have seen some chat rooms only promoting some shit coins which usually also traps some newbies into the markets. This usually brings fake volume into reality so you should never just join any random chatroom. You should find some genuine traders and add them into your circle to be updated with the trading markets.

It is a shame that we are saying we cannot bet on events because if you have got so much money that you are itching to loose it on gambling even during the crisis time cause by Corona Virus then just donate the money to people in need. I mean there is a crisis and everyone is probably saving money because everything is crashing be it stock market or big industries, everything is collapsing and in such time personally if I was so itching to loose money on gambling then I would better spend the money to help people who are suffering. Look I am no one to suggest what you should do with your money but I am just telling my own opinion.

For people who are addicted with sports betting and NBA maybe they should look at this opportunity to get out from this gambling addiction rather than to get even more obsessed and gamble everything once things are back to normal.

For me I just visit the thread of that casino here at bitcointalk and check their trust ratings and recent posts and if there are any allegations being made and active against them then I mostly avoid such casinos. After that I try and find if the casino requires any sort of KYC for small gamblers like me and I must make it clear, I never wish to play at any crypto casino that asks for ID proof when withdrawing my own money, I would rather go with betway or bet365 if I am happy to provide id proofs.

Apart from these basics I usually want a attractive design and some unique games for example I play at primedice because its just damn trusted but then I also visit bustabit because it's unique!

Added to that most of the e-sports events have been delayed and cancelled as I was checking around and LPL, LEC, etc are delayed and even the matches that are being played are actually done under immense security, masks and other precautions. I believe that while sports and other other events are important and it is financial as well as interest loss for event organizers but they must understand how dangerous and quickly this virus spreads and if not enough measures are taken there will be chaos in no time.

I was even gutted to see the price swings BTC is going through right now because not just gambling, gaming, entertainment but even financial markets are shattered because of the coronavirus.

Yes and being a close family also means you will always have someone around you to talk with you and you don't get spare time to spend in gambling and that is one reason why families where the father goes to job and the mother goes to job and the children are alone they always feel alone and are more prone to gambling and other addictions. Another point that will amaze you is that, single child has more chances of such addictions because if he/she has a sibling then they would always talk to each other and such addictions are less common.

Once you are actually addicted though, there is only one solution and that is to visit a proper mental healthcare and get yourself proper treatment because once you are into gambling no family can save you if your addiction is severe.

I wasn't aware that it wasn't fully legal in south Korea until now. They have exchanges and all other stuff there so I just assumed it was legal already since they were capable of starting those companies there and had no problems so far. I guess that was due to them being friendly with crypto in general and this just made it so much more clearer for everyone involved as well.

Do not forget that is is basically legal in USA as well which is probably worlds one of the leading economical powers (between china as well) and that didn't created such a huge surge in bitcoin interest in USA neither which means south Korea making bitcoin legal is not going to suddenly change the price. I am just full on warning everyone in case anyone thinks this will change anything.

As long as a Blockchain company is what we are talking about here, I don’t really see anything wrong with working from home. Most Blockchain jobs are remote jobs, the only ones I think might be affected are the mining companies. I don’t really know how bitcoin mining farms works, but I think they have to be there to manage their farm or something.

But as for others, like exchanges and wallet companies, there is the possibility for their staff to work from home. Just like Exodus, their staff work from home, if you check their website you will see that. Another cryptocurrency company is Xapo, majority of their jobs are remote jobs and they work with Slack.

Some people are saying that they were expecting the price to go up when the Coronavirus outbreak started like, how the heck are you expecting Bitcoin to go up? Adoption? Sorry you’re all wrong. I know for sure that if Coronavirus was going to have any impact on Bitcoin is going to be a decrease in price and that’s it, and even the stocks market were affected, except gold that kept increasing since beginning of this year, though it did fall back a little bit recently.

The reason I wasn’t expecting an adoption is because I knew that if people would need a contactless payment (technology payment) they would go for others like PayPal, since there isn’t much places where Bitcoin is being accepted. But this is not going to be for long, things will get better.

Man this corona actually got everywhere around the world. I was one of the people who said we had virus outbreaks before and nothing to worry about since all of that really didn't mattered so why would this one. However looking at the situation there was absolutely nothing like this on the previous ones. No nba suspension, no nhl suspension, no f1 suspension and now maybe euroleague and champions league as well.

I do not know what to think about this anymore but I think this virus is actually getting to a level where it is actually dangerous to people. Maybe this one was unexpected and has an easier infection rate so that is the cause and I really hope cure will be figured out soon but it looks like all the sporting events will have to continue towards summer and not now anymore.

I wouldn't want to be too forward or anything but looking at the politics section of the betting side, the democratic nominee is still open to anyone who wants to wager. That means the democratic nominee is still in the works if you want to bet while it is getting quite close to finish line as it is. I wouldn't know who would be the next president of USA but I can tell you that Math suggest it is quite hard for Joe Biden to not be the nominee after this.

There is only New York left that Bernie could get, Tulsi is in it just for the fun of it and has no chance and Joe would probably get all the other mid states as well. So I assume if you want to wager on Joe Biden you will have a big chance to make a decent money out of this, probably gonna finish around 1.30-1.40 levels soon but you can wager now to get a decent return.

Can't believe NBA season is suspended. It is not terminated so there is still a chance that NBA could continue in a month (that is the rule minimum to come back) but I am not entirely sure if they will be. USA just closed ALL planes from Europe to land so there won't be anyone going to USA soon and that political decision probably shown NBA management how far the virus has come and they should suspend it.

It turns out Rudy Gobert also tested positive for corona virus as well so he is known as the first NBA player to get the virus. He is a healthy young professional sports person so I doubt he will be one of the people who died, he was probably tested early on and has been in quarantine ever since and taken care of with millions of dollars worth of expertise so I have no worries about his life.

I guess it doing that already? Think about it, thanks to crypto currency money could move from any nations to any nation and any person to any person without limitations. If I want to send you 30 cents from Uganda to china, how easy it is do you think? I am pretty sure I really can't do that. However using some currency that is small (not bitcoin) like waves or tron or whatever I can send you 30 cents in less than 30 seconds and that's it.

So, as you can see I have always called crypto the "internet of money" because it is bringing people together and it is making a global currency right now. It may not be used as much as we would like to but it is certainly used a bit and that is certainly getting more and more common as well eventually leading to crypto being the most preferred country to country money transaction method for sure.

What we need is not blockchain being used by these big companies but more like blockchain using these big companies. I understand that IBM or coca cola or whatever using blockchain could be great for adoption in the future and I respect that, however what we need is crypto related companies, startups, business' that will use blockchain to showcase its features and really increase its capabilities as well providing more back to crypto community instead of just taking it.

When amazon and steam started to accept crypto that was to provide more to crypto people, that is big companies and that is crypto news, we need more like that, coca cola using blockchain to help themselves is literally not helping crypto people at all, zero help to us, that is fine too but we need the other one.
