The important is that bitcoin is useful when donating money to charity localized in another countries, so people can save on exorbiting fees they would have to pay to banks due to international transactions dealing with fiat. Furthermore, it's easier for charity organizations to launch their campaigns and ask for donations in btcs, without going through the traditional bureaucratic method of creating a special bank account and also having to pay fees to maintain it and to complete the regulatory requirements.

The negative side is that the lack of formality bitcoin proportionates added to the easiness it is to adopt the digital currency, makes it simpler for scammers to create fake charity programs to steal money from donators, as it has been already seen innumerable times. However, if there is transparency and public accountability, it is not an issue at all...

About the environment, well, it's part of the evolutionary and technological developmental process to use the natural resources we have disponible to improve our techniques aiming to use less of those natural resources futurely and make them last longer.

The problem is that these investors supporting bitcoin at 40,000$ range might be the same ones who crash the market as soon as bitcoin hit 43,000$. There is no difference between institutional investors and whales. All of them are very dangerous for bitcoin stability and price increasement along the time.

If the supply of bitcoins were splitted among more investors, we wouldn't have massive selloffs like the one seen earlier today, which instantly liquidated more than half billion dollars in cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin still need more adopters who aren't related to the speculative practices of the financial market in order to thrive smoothly.

As far as I know these restrictions you mentioned already exist in some countries, but they apply only to advertisements made inside the jurisdiction of that sovereign state (example: television, outdoors ads). To make such restrictions a requirement for internet ads, I think the platforms used by content creators to promote gambling should enforce it on their terms and conditions.
On the other hand, anyone who feels prejudiced by a fake propaganda, including videos spreading misleading content on youtube, can always sue the channel and the responsible behind it, doesn't matter how far they live from each other. But the costs of the action are really expensive, becoming impossible for most people to afford, because the legal proceedings must happen in the country of the defendant and even the lawyers involved in both parties must be located on that territory.

So the idea of the platform imposing restrictions is much simpler and safer for the public, who is the potential victim.

But to avoid social medias for this reason is too extremist in my opinion. I think people should have access to every informations disponible around and make their own judgement on what is worthful, what isn't and what is legit and what isn't. We can't live inside a glass dome without access to the reality surrounding us. We have to learn how to deal with it in a way we won't be fooled or prejudiced. And in case of mistakes, we can learn from them.
Gambling platforms' social medias can also bring valuable useful informations and content. If a gambler is able to filter what is benefical to him and what isn't, he will be fine in any environment.

Anonymity and accessibility brought by bitcoin and altcoins to gambling industry helped many newbies to get introduced to virtual casinos for the first time, what would be nearly impossible through traditional methods (fiat casinos), since they are banned and inaccessible in a considerable number of countries around the world. The possibility of playing with tiny amounts of money in crypto casinos also contributed to make them popular among a public who doesn't have a lot of money to risk, but who still wants to bet, have fun and potentially grow their funds like every gambler else.

The most fundamental necessary element in order to start gambling is to know you shouldn't play with money you can't afford to lose. That is a basic rule which can't be neglected in any situations.

Anyway, I wouldn't consider it a "skill", it's just basic understanding of cause and a consequence law for your own good. Moreover gambling is mainly based on luck, so you can't expect skills are going to be a game changer on long run. In sports betting it really helps to know the teams, players and conditions every involved parties are currently facing, but it's not a guarantee of anything at all, otherwise underdogs winners wouldn't exist.

Theoretically it's not possible for one person to own more than one wallet, because Chivo is a centralized bitcoin wallet which enforces KYC policy. So each wallet must be attached to a different ID card. If someone managed to own more than one wallet somehow (cheating), they are going against the rules and may suffer the consequences for their actions, especially because we are talking about a 30$ airdrop (it's a lot of money to be distributed for free) and for this reason, I believe agents from the government watch and supervise it attentively.

Checked the link, but the account doesn't exist. What might have happened, twitter excluded it for breaking the social media rules or was it the account owner himself?
Maybe you should show more evidence of this community and talk about it with more details, so gamblers interested in sports betting can understand it clearly to reach the conclusion if they should join you or not...

I've been there for several months already and so far no issues... My only complainment is that interest rates aren't clear enough. They promote lots of "earn up to x%" and "boost your interest" informations everywhere on the platform, but forget to let explicit how much we are really earning as a common user without access to the premium benefits for holding up to 10% of total funds in NEXO token.

From my calculations I was earning 4% on my bitcoins, but noticed a new feature today that allows investors to lock funds for longer periods of time to earn extra interest, so I locked my bitcoins for 1 month (only disponible option for btc currency), so they pay 5% yearly interest.

For NEXO tokens you can lock funds for 1 or 3 months and 1 year.

4 million wallets means 4 million bitcoin adopters, as KYC is required in order to use Chivo and claim the 30$ airdrop and all these adopters are only from El Salvador, so even a small country can contribute a lot to bitcoin adoption. These are positive points in my opinion.

On the other hand, these news are a bit sensationalist, because they exclude the possibility many people who created bitcoin wallets with Chivo did this only to claim the $30, cashout to fiat and stopped using bitcoin. Cointelegraph should also include the currently percentage of active wallets from the total of 4 million.

It would be pleasant to know if someone here has already hit the 200$ prize. The only people who won 20$+ prizes I've seen were random recently created accounts, and I don't remember if any of them achieved the 200$ jackpot. Since it's 1 chance in 10,000 I suppose if a group of people claim the faucet 10,000 times, at least one or few one them must be able to win that amount once.

Currently I'm heading to the 8,000 claims mark (7,453 so far) yet...

You may feel like this because we are in an unpredictable market where events happen suddenly without previous warnings. When we can't predict what is going to happen accurately we have the sensation of being incompetent or uneducated on the respective matter, but in crypto universe it's just that there is no way to know these things.
Cryptocurrency is purely a speculative environment and for most of us, small investors, it's impossible to have some kind of significant influence on the market. All we can do is to follow whales' movements, trying to understand what they are going to do next, so we can also profit from their actions.

So far nothing bright about bitcoin yet. The scenario is looking really boring and uncertain. Since 2022 started the price is being slowly pushed down without the recovery energic rates we had in 2021. Last year, if the price dropped to 41,000$, I'm sure few minutes or hours later we would have already be seeing a peak near 44,000$ or 45,000$ again.

That is what 2022 is lacking and it doesn't look good... News are worthless to predict market fluctuations anyway, because as soon as BTC drops, we see a massive wave of negative news, but when BTC recovers even a little, another wave, but of optimistic news saying bitcoin is going to be adopted by company X or Y, a wealthy guy bought million or billion of dollars in crypto, bitcoin to the moon in 1 year and so on... take control of the internet.

Actually most people aren't interested in investing, because to invest they have to have a job or an income in the first place, and as you said in your post, entrepreneurs have closed their businesses and employees have lost their jobs during this pandemic, so people are interested in earning money through new sources and opportunities for a living.

Cryptocurrencies can be helpful if they create jobs' spots directly or indirectly, but not solely as investments. Once people are able to generate income, feed themselves and pay for every basic monthly needs, they can start thinking about investing in cryptocurrencies.

You can select a wide variety of crypto legit casinos promoted on this forum (check their reputation first) and create one personal account on each of them.

Then, keep following the news, promotions and updates they bring to the community every now and then. Once you find an interesting offer from them that worth a try in your opinion, make your deposit and go for it.

The new omicron wave is responsible for the collapse in healthcare system as expected, due to its high contagious levels. But the good news is that mortality rates are lower than the previous strains, so I hope healthcare systems worldwide are going to stabilize again once people get infected and recover themselves, just like we have seen after the last peak of the pandemic.

For now we can follow the sanitary protocols, strength our immune systems with all the necessary nutrients acquired through the food and liquids we consume, daily exercises, contact with sunlinght and also avoiding any kind of negativity in our lives that may attack our immunity. It's also a good idea to store medications at home, because in some areas drugstores and hospitals are already lacking it.

Covid tests are also scarce right now!

Crypto.com was hacked and the amount could reach to 16$ million dollars, as 5000 eth were moved on the last hours, accordingly to this tweet:



The platform has already informed all withdrawal services have been restored, even though lots of users are still complaining on twitter and facing difficulties to access their personal accounts. So far it's not possible to know how many people have been damaged by the hacker attack, but there is a serious possibility it wasn't isolated cases as firstly claimed. Some are also saying Crypto.com should invest more in security instead of advertisement.

There are some crypto virtual banks operating borderless already and from times to times more of them are being created, what is pretty good because this way we have a healthy and decentralized competition among services of this same kind, aiming to offer the best possible services to their users. So customers have access to competitive interest rates and promotions when investing their crypto funds. Compared to traditional fiat banks I think it's much better already, as every services you need from a traditional bank you can also find at a crypto one, including credit cards with pretty decent cashback rates, depending your investment size at the platform, accordingly to its internal requirements.

I don't think metaverse is a bubble, I think it's actually a scam in the way it's being sold and promoted on the internet. A metaverse for real will be only disponible in many decades from now on, because so far we aren't on the necessary level of technological development to create an immersive environment like the ones we see on the movies yet.

What developers are selling right now are concepts copied from The Sims, Second Life, Club Penguin, Habbo Hotel, etc... telling it's the "metaverse". And to say the truth there are serious chances the projects being developed at this moment are going to be inferior to the games mentioned on the line above.

I think people should be careful about it, because we don't know what can be the potential side effects of chips implanted into the brain.

Without any doubts it's awesome that paralyzed people can increase the range of activities they do daily, raising their life quality and participation on the society, but I can't deny it's a very dubious situation, because besides the risks to our brains, we would be completely opening our minds to a third party company or individual to read our thoughts and to know everything passing through our minds.

Moreover, when the Holy Bible talks about the mark of the beast, one interpretation could be these chips being idealized by Elon Musk. So yes, it's really scary, if you ask me.
