I think what is happening now gives you a great chance to take a break from your 8 year old sports betting marathon.
Relax, look around, see how your addiction will behave, whether you can feel good without the ability to bet.
This is a great opportunity to explore yourself and your own motivational triggers. Treat this time not as a problem, but as an opportunity to know yourself better.

The casino always wins, but first it will let you win to add addiction to the needle.
Victory will bring a huge surge of hormones of happiness, especially if you succeeded for the first time.

In the future, people will come back for it again and again, even if they constantly lose. The casino will always give them sometimes win,sometimes...

I see no reason to stop gambling if everything is fine with your financial side. In addition, during a crisis, it can be very pleasant to pass the time for gambling.
BUT the majority has the opposite situation, business is suffering losses due to quarantine, which means that people have less money. Rational use of your resources will help to pass crisis times much easier.

Rather, the whole society will really condemn you for your addiction to gambling, but if your environment is smart enough it will look at your actions, first of all.
If your environment is stupid enough, it doesn’t matter what you do, gambling or something else, your environment will all be right for you, depending on their own beliefs and prejudices.

Since you decided to write this list, why not supplement it with a bunch of rules, for example, not to urinate on roulette, or not to sleep on the blackjack table.
If you present it’s like a joke, then write the text itself in a humorous manner, and not as seriously as it looks now.

For me, it is enough that Snowden is a popular figure, which means that all his words must be subjected to the maximum level of criticism.
It is not known why he makes such a tweet, his motivation is not known.

But what if tomorrow he offers a cryptocurrency draw? Obviously, this is another scam.

Personally, I’m sure that everything that Edward says will be politically motivated.

Just look at the Bitcoin chart for the last 2 years to understand that this is not a test at all.
This could be called a test if everything that happens now happens separately from the entire financial market, however, as we can see the whole world market is now in decline, and this is a definite correlation.

Such schemes would have died out long ago if we, ordinary people, had not participated in them.
The same thing would happen with all useless coins whose volumes are infinitely accrued by an army of bots on various exchanges of varying degrees of quality.
But it is investors who give life to any such project, and it is they who can take this life.

One way or another, fiat systems are associated with cryptocurrency.
Indeed, in the event that big problems begin to arise with fiat, then most of the majority of BTC holders will most likely have to get rid of some of the funds in favor of fiat due to its greater practicality.

Most likely, the "individuals" you named did not just sell. Probably they wanted to create a specific situation in which you can provoke a total mass of people to sell their BTC.
This practice is repeated over and over again, with a frequency of 3-4 months. I am sure before the blinding movement on the Bitmex exchange they eliminate the buzzes of more than 800kk.

A mixture of panic and mass hysteria. It is clearly visible that people completely do not understand what is happening during the crisis, trying to find easy and simple answers for complex things.
People do not want to figure it out themselves and look for answers, but they are easily ready to go on about those who provide them with the information that they like, even if it is a dummy.

The same dummy as the idea that Bitcoin is a safe asset during a crisis.
The value of bitcoin is that during the crisis and after the crisis, its maximum number does not increase, while fiat currencies have already received a large increase in the form of printed bills.

Given that the world has just begun to close its borders, then the darkest days of the crisis are still ahead of us.
From which we can conclude that bitcoin may well dive even lower to values of 3000-4000.

However, given the volatility, a speculative outcome cannot be ruled out as it has been more than once.
Someone can take advantage of the situation and replay everything in the opposite direction.

What kind of conflict are you talking about? As far as I know, OPEC countries adhere to their own plan, while Russia looks the other way and says that it is ready for this.
Everything related to oil is based on its pricing, and in no way can cause a conflict like a war.

In fact, the situation is very funny and paradoxical. Typical mass hysteria organized by government apparatuses of all countries.
Mortality from the coronavirus is only 1%, but already a large number of countries have closed their borders from each other. This will primarily hit the pocket of ordinary citizens

It would be great if they revealed this topic in more detail. I am sure newcomers and experienced users of the forum would be interested to know all the subtleties of fraud of this kind,
as well as to study cases of scam users of the forum. Unless, of course, it’s interesting to yourself.

Everyone wants to earn money, everyone wants easy money. Therefore, fraudsters so easily manage to deceive people with such typical traps.

Believe the spread of the virus around the world has just begun. I don’t know if the cryptocurrency will continue to fall in the near future,
but I’m sure that all major markets will fall by another 10-20% due to the limited communication between countries and quarantine within most countries in particular.

In any case, communication is always good. Here gathered smart people who speak on various topics, including discussing their own problems, which means it can be very useful for someone.
Even if one person can look at themselves and their problems from the outside and realize them, this will already mean that such branches on the forum are of great value.

Surely most would use a bug. Having earned enough money on it, you can transfer all the information to the platform support service, and accept the earnings as a reward for finding the vulnerability.
 In any case, a very small number of people will not take this opportunity.

In my life, gambling has a significant but not fundamental role. I don’t feel bad if I stop playing, in fact I can do it at any time.
I do not have obsessive thoughts if I do not play for a long time. Probably my addiction is in the initial stage, which makes me happy.

I would love to go on a similar story. I believe that people should always share similar stories, because this reveals their life experience to other people, which will allow other people to look at themselves and their problems in a new way. Many people hide their stories for fear of judgment, but if you can cope with your problem, hiding your success from other people is a crime.
