I guess so? The virus spread is in all honesty, a responsibility of each and every one of ourselves, not the government. Yes, they put out rules and enforce distancing but really, people aren't stupid enough to not understand that. It's just that some people do understand that, yet they still don't do anything about it. It's kinda sad really, it's like we're killing our fellow countrymen because of our own stupidity (in all aspects).


I doubt it would that much. I mean, yea DIY skills are really nice and all but nothing beats professional work. Let's not beat around the bush and just say that most of our DIY works are actually just patch works instead of actually "proper" work. The said services would probably be temporarily available or severely limited instead. Home delivered services are still up and running on our country and it's working out so well with proper safety precautions, especially right now with the lockdown where people can't leave willy nilly like that.

Gotta jog my brain for a bit here. Iirc, it was one of those days in our school library where one of my friends were telling me that one of our classmates who was a tech geek was mining Bitcoin in our Library's PC. Curiosity got the best out of me and decided to look it up and that pretty much got me into it. I talked about my friend about what BTC actually was in the past and stuff like that. A few months after I managed to stumble about this site. I was kind of an in and out guy back then cause I was struggling with my studies back then but I'm pretty much free recently and have managed to finally balance my studies and life making it a lot less hassle to handle.

I'd rather have KYC in terms of online gambling tbh. Not that I don't mind it or anything, but those sites with KYC can prove to sometimes actually be just a simple scam. It hurts not only my funds but also the time I've spent playing there and hence, I'd rather stick to one with KYC. Ofc, as long as the KYC procedures don't go overboard a certain line, I'm fine with it. Besides, I'm pretty sure casinos ask for KYC procedures just to pretty much ask for the age of the recipient so that they can assure that those playing in their site is of legal age.

Just say gambling though. I don't honestly see any hassle with that, and if they look bad at you, so be it. I doubt you need to keep up pretense against someone who judges you just because you gamble. It's like judging people you see outside just because they wear tattoos, smoke, and the like.

If it's a format like this then you definitely need a gambling casino license. Still there are a lot of questions still to be asked and based on that you can change its format to not need the gambling license. A simple example would be changing it into a tournament type of format where there's a type of registration fee and the top 3 winners would receive a certain amount of that price pool or you can set the price all on your own, simple as that. Another simple format would be kind of like those in the arcades where you exchange reward tickets for prizes. This is considering you'd expand your current list of games and not just backgammon, but anything else than that that involves putting out money is probably in the lines of gambling. Ask for some advice from those that are experienced tbh, or just in Reddit.

Ask for an explanation with regards to their "fraud" accusations? I mean, yes banks are kind of against the adoption of cryptocurrencies and all but that shouldn't warrant them doing something like preventing you from accessing your own funds. If they state it's in their T&A then you can probably ask them to refund a percentage ( the part that didn't really came from Paxful ) and call it quits then. I really doubt they'd let you get the entire funds from your bank account if you really did violate any of their rules.

Ngl, the freedom you can feel during the lockdowns when going outside ( only when I have to cause of buying supplies and the like ) is awesome. The fact that there are rarely any cars outside is kind of refreshing and the fact that the number of people you see outside is kind of regulated is quite nice as well. I hope the world could make a holiday that replicates the same atmosphere of outside right now, like no cars, and the like.
Sadly, some families that even try to obtain some sort of financial support aren't really able to just by the fact that they are restricted by their current circumstances. They don't work for the future but rather work for the food for their tables in that very same day, which honestly is felt by a lot of families.

Indeed. I have a sister overseas and tbh, it's hard. Just by the fact that you don't know when something bad could hit you or your relative somewhere else. Families bond together, yes, but there are also families that were temporarily separated because the government stopped allowing people from other cities to your own cities. Ofc, it isn't a bad move, but it also separates you from your family at this time of disaster no? Regarding divorce and domestic violence though, I doubt you can blame the current Covid measures for that, I mean, isn't it way too farfetched?

Yea no need to relate it to halving too much. One is that it's too early to actually see anything quite noteworthy, and two, there are quite a lot of factors out there that could affect the market price, not just the halving. There was a recent movement of 50BTC out there and there's actually a thread talking about that here. Besides, you can also attribute it to the natural movement of the market especially with the crash that happened a few months back. It suddenly returned to $9k and above which of course retraced itself back to around $8k. Now after a few days, you could say that it naturally moved up, making it for quite a natural movement of bullish momentum.

Most sports should be quite liable for a return in the scene, it just depends on whether the teams are able to or not IMO. Especially if various teams were actually hit by the virus quarantine. Giving an example such as basketball, if all teams were all to be reported as clear of the virus not just by checking out the tests but rather by viewing the areas they have been from, they can easily see whether it's applicable for the basketball scene to return or not. The audience at this point is secondary atm, since I for one would consider not allowing any audience inside stadiums of games for the sake of safety procedures. Ofc, strict checks could be done but I doubt that would actually be quite enough.

Uhm, using masks or gloves as playing could be quite a hinder ngl. If you've never tried out sports, just the way of you breathing freely is enough to influence your performance and if masks were worn while in-game, hell, that would impede the way you breathe imo. Even gloves could influence the grip on rackets and the like.

I message you! hoping I could buy the steam games mystery box 

Uhhh Number 1 shouldn't be called "secure" but rather should be instead "private". And seriously, the blog discusses about gambling in an overall sense and yet the topic is literally about Bitcoin as an investment. I mean, how far can you even go with that? Gambling uses Bitcoin as a currency, not an investment. They should seriously fix that mindset of theirs. And additionally, Gambling always has risks in them, even if we do take into consideration how blockchain works. Besides, you can't even trace who's what in a blockchain, how'd that made it safe.

You can't really say that tbh. It's quite an empty argument since, why would you even gamble then? Just friggin hold and wait. Gambling isn't an investment, it's for entertainment. And even if you were to look it as a source of financial income, there's absolutely no need for you to consider whether BTC price would increase or decrease in the future. In a sense, it's like putting the cart before the horse, you're looking at BTC as an investment when instead, you should have supposed to have looked at it as an asset, as something to be used in gambling.

Don't include shtcoins pls, and even if we only take into account BTC, we can split 1 BTC into smaller amounts or satoshis which can easily accommodate everyone and besides, BTC wasn't supposed to be an investment in the long run anyhow, it turned into one because of its high volatility.

Let's take a step back and stop comparing crypto to fiat which the government unlimitedly produces now shall we? If we were to compare crypto to fiat or anything else for that matter just based on the amount or number of that certain asset, how the hell did gold and other such assets survive.

You're saying it yourself already tbh. "Because of it's high volatility, it was a great asset to be used for an investment, for trading. But because it's limits are currently approaching, it's' volatility is disappearing and hence, isn't any good for investment anymore." Here's the thing, it's supposed to be a currency, hence the name cryptocurrency. It doesn't matter what "our" as you say, intentions were, BTC was made as a currency, not as an investment.

Tip #6 was pretty nice considering we are trading and investing on cryptocurrencies. Most trading tips actually miss such a fact even though we are discussing cryptos, even I miss it sometimes. Though tips are nice and helpful, the experience still is the best teaching material imo. Trading isn't all about winning, it's also about losing. It's like how you won the battle but lost the war kind of thing. If you keep winning cause of a foreign factor, you aren't really a trader and you've probably lost already as one by using some third party influence. Don't be afraid to lose, just be careful about what you can lose. It doesn't really matter what precautions you use when winning since winning is always a positive thing, but precautions about losing should always be noticed and should always be carefully thought of.

If I had the chance, I'd opt to choose both. Of course, this gives the chance of me losing everything, hence I always hold the notion that whatever money I've invested or traded are not mine, at least, temporarily. I start thinking that they are already lost assets and aren't part of my bank account anymore, which makes it a lot easier in terms of controlling my finances. Both have their pros and cons and it honestly depends on how you yourself think. It'd be a lot better of course if your way of thinking aligns with either of the two since that makes your mind a lot easier to handle, making losses stay at the minimal amount.

In your case, Investment seems a lot better. Especially since your need is a long term investment, crypto would do you well. Especially since you've pretty much understood how trading works and want to avoid it, making your decision to be avoiding risk. If you started investing in crypto, there is still a risk, yes, but in the long term, you should be able to profit quite well imo.

Bitcoin is a type of cryptocurrency, an asset which most of the public could pretty much obtain. It isn't a type of product for sale nor is it registered by a private company. It is a literal for all type of crypto, hence I don't think the Bitcoin trademark could be said as a "trademark". Yes, the Bitcoin logo could be said to be its trademark, but it isn't like Bitcoin is backed by a company or something. Even it's creator made it for public use freely without anyone being able to govern it, hence it can't really be considered as a trademark. Simply stating, Bitcoin is far too generic for someone to trademark it.

You can also try looking up how Mt.Gox try to enforce ownership with regards to the Bitcoin trademark. If iirc, they pretty much forced the idea of Bitcoin as a trademark and that they themselves own it. Not sure, correct me if I'm wrong though.

Don't really know, I don't leave my house at that time of the night since curfew is especially strict here. Still, it is quite weird for you to even wander inside there, and even supposing they are wearing masks and the like, you should've already avoided places that are crowded with people. If you saw people crowding around, report it to an official around you or something, you aren't necessarily required to become some sort of hero. Just the fact that people are crowding inside a building should be enough to warrant police officials to actually visit and see what's happening.
OP did indicate that casinos should be closed to prevent the spread of the virus. Casino's wouldn't even open it themselves if they knew no one would bother going inside cause of the precautions of the government. Sadly, this seems like a case of people persuading the casino to open themselves, or maybe the Casino opening discreetly and spreading word amongst a selective community. Either way, both the Casino and the players in there are at fault.

Stop pushing every recent increase in price as a result of the halving. Even if there was any type of result that the halvings would bring, it wouldn't be that quick. It'd take close to half a year at least to see if the halvings actually had any effect on how the market moves. The market has pretty much shown a bullish trend so far but doesn't necessarily mean that it would continue. You can expect a bullish trend imo in the long term, but I don't have much to say in the short term since any movement is pretty much possible at this point. Additionally, this is just the recovery imo. If the economy of various countries does crash, then you can expect a bullish run since most investors know that gold and BTC are assets you can use to save your finance after all.

You can push being mentally strong and physically fit to others but stop pushing the pray to God's idea. Not all acknowledge it and it's basically a form of religious advertisement at that point. Recommend a neutral idea for others such as finding a hobby and spending your time doing that, whatever that may be, recommend a random place/site where people can basically talk to each other without having to introduce each other and stuff like that.

Staying positive is just a matter of mentality tbh. Overthinking takes up a lot of those thinking negatively, and using hobbies to escape from them is just a temporary respite imo but there are also cases where hobbies could answer your overthinking tendencies in the weirdest of ways. It just takes up a bit of imagination.

If I were to choose between the two, it'd be 2021 and not 2020. If we were to just compare it with how the past halvings went, it needed at least a minimum of half a year to a year before showing it's effects on the market side of BTC. But if I were to freely choose the year, then it's honestly hard to say. I'm more trusting of basing it in past data which as seen, 1 year after the halvings, the market always goes up but there are different circumstances then and now after all. It'd be in any year after this year, but just not this year, that I think I can be confident of.

Quarantine wasn't the solution? Could you propose an alternative for it? Don't bother answering social distancing and wearing face masks, that's just a stupid answer. With the sheer amount of people that live in a single city, you wouldn't be able to see a proper social distancing event out there. The quarantine IS the solution, but it isn't entirely it. Proper government actions, as well as mass testing, are the answers. Immediately acting and identifying those who were infected, those who could be infected, and those who would be infected are immediate answers that the government must move into so that they could quarantine the virus to only those under it already.

It's a pandemic, not some kind of event or what, temporary loss of jobs is absolutely normal, but I ain't saying it's okay. We have no choice at that front tbh. Additionally, I don't understand how hygiene could fix the said economic crisis by yours, but if it was against the virus, then naturally, I doubt anyone is neglecting their hygiene after all.

Here's the thing about the fraud activities caused by it being decentralized. There are always pros and cons about something and no matter what, you can't remove that. BTC ain't perfect, we all know that, BUT, we all like it. We all use it, acknowledge it, and want it to be adopted. You can't just put it out as a disadvantage when it could also be said as an advantage, that's just stupid imo. Besides, the ones most at fault with fraud activities are the ones being scammed, the system of BTC totally has nothing to do with it. Hacking, yea you can put it that way. But let's be honest, there ain't a system that is perfect. Everything and anything can be hacked, it's all a matter of that hacker wanting to get caught or not since that increases the difficulty in of itself already.
