They never died since there was the existence of online gambling. As for sports betting, if you count e-sports as one, then that really never died as well since tourneys can still be done online, at least, that's what league did as far as I know. But if we were to talk about traditional sports, that may actually take time. After all, the schedule was pretty messed up all of a sudden and players need ample time to readjust properly for their next tournaments.
As for physical casinos, It'd actually take time and would not be the first ones to get up. Some simple reasons would be people would most likely go to places that they actually need, like work places stores and the like. Next, they'd probably want a breath of fresh air, aka sightseeing. Being stuck in home is not a pleasant experience for some after all.

Please help me!!!!
Thankyou!!!

That's a fat close to $2k gain in 24h. I was quite shocked that the price was that high when I checked it out. And there wasn't even a steady movement of ups and downs which honestly makes me think that the price would most likely retrace itself in the next few days. Yes I'm glad it broke $9k but really, Breaking and staying at a price range is quite different and I'd honestly prefer the latter to happen instead of the former. Ofc, if it manages to stay at above $9k then everyone is happy but with how much it actually grew in just 24h, I'd honestly doubt it could happen. If somehow BTC manages to still grow higher even more than what it has already shown in the next 24h, you could probably expect a sharp drop after it in the next few days. Just hope it doesn't go back to the $3k area.

Hmm it highly depends on how the economy of various countries would respond to it. After all, if a cure could be found, facilities would start returning back to normal and people would start earning money once more. However, there's a possibility that the lives of various people would be severely impacted by the virus hence even if there was a cure to be found, difficulties would still arise in adjusting to the return in the working force. I'm more to the side of the price being boosted since most traders are relatively off well and can pretty much spare the funds in investing and trading once more. It's a matter of how the population would respond to the return of their lifestyles back to normal I guess?

Tbh, the only people who would gamble inspite of them needing to do something else that is much more important than gambling are only those that addicted to it or are about to be addicted. This just goes to show how the majority of the gambling community are addicts. In fact, we are all pretty much experienced at this point and has come to realize that gambling is just a game of sorts, not a job. Yes, it can be a source of money, but that's it. It isn't supposed to be the main pathway of our lives to money. Sure, there could be professional gamblers here and there but they only amount to a few. A majority of gamblers are those that chose gambling as a source of side income or just for entertainment, just like in the survey and that's it.

They are just pretty much spreading fear to take advantage of the market. If people believe, then they can buy at lower prices and sell at higher prices. If they don't, then they don't really lose anything so their mindset would be to always spread fud if the opportunity arises. Especially right now since most people have seen the massive drop last time, people could easily be triggered to believe that the same thing would happen in the near future since the virus is still active in various countries. Besides, Death notices of BTC are all false news as we all know it. Anyone who trades in BTC and participates in forums know that BTC is well about and growing.

No one really knows though I think majority are on the side of Bitcoin price going up. Every halving so far has brought quite some gains in BTC price and based on past seen records, every few months after the halving is the period where the price rises exponentially. Still, it doesn't necessarily mean that an increase is for sure since it is still, in the end, the coin we know of as being highly volatile. Imo though, I don't think the best-case scenario where the price would increase exponentially is going to happen. At least, in the next few months. A lot of countries were badly hit by the virus and naturally, traders lives were also impacted. This may bring changes to the expectations of BTC

A rally is quite expected especially since the price drop last time was quite steep. Everyone is testing the waters early on and seeing as the reaction is quite positive, the market decided to push forward. Currently, we are on the end of April and approaching the start of May, which is the month of halving. If we base this on past halvings, you could see a steady growth of price after a few months of halving. That time period also shows a certain steady growth and doesn't really show any big dips so far. Honestly, just based on what the Halving does, we can all expect a rally, the question is how big though. Seeing as the current state of various countries right now, I'm pretty sure there would be positive changes in the market, but it would rather be limited.

It isn't all about its current price though. Partly, yes but not about how high the price is but rather the problem with regards to it's volatility. We all know how the BTC price changes willy-nilly all the time and this leads to it not being used that much in the current terms. Not to mention that adoption itself is difficult because of the existence of the fiat system by the government. A system implemented that basically all have used for a lot of time right now. With such a thing, who would bother about Bitcoin right? Yes, it has its advantages but really. Who would bother studying about it normally no? Not that I'm saying Bitcoin loses to fiat in terms of their basic usage, just that the world lacks a solid reason. A reason as to why they should adopt the usage of Bitcoin instead of fiat.

It's literally easy to see scams tbh. If the opposite party asks you to "give" them money and wait for a month to see the "returns" of your investment, that's already a red flag. Even indulging on the idea of "earning" money just by doing something like referrals is already a red flag for me imo. I avidly avoid such situations especially if the opposite party was someone I met over the internet. Also for impostor websites, you can try looking up the url links in simplywhois.com to test for information about the site. Really helpful in identifying those scam sites that were just made to scam others.

It's just temporary though. The world currently lacks the innovation to actually be able to implement the payment system of BTC in a global scale since there are a few factors that are against it. One would be that adoption of usage throughout the world would be really difficult. It's not like everyone knows what the hell cryptocurrency is. Yes, A few Payment platforms are being used to transact cryptos but only a select few actually use them and honestly, just like what was said by @LeGaulois, it's only temporary. It's actually better to call it something like a stopgap or something similar? It's like trying to force compatibility when you fully know that their characteristics are the complete opposite of each other. 

Traders should also note that Understanding Fear and tackling it doesn't necessarily mean the same as ignoring it. It isn't the same idea as something like throwing caution at the wind, but rather you yourself accept the fear and try to attack it. Ignoring it is like ignoring the fundamental problem in a certain project, leading to more losses instead of you trying to actually attack it. Sadly, making wrong moves when accepting fear also leads to losses, but hey, at least you tried right? That's the difference. The "trying" part.

We all experienced that here and honestly, it proved to be quite a valuable experience, at least to me anw. When I first traded I couldn't stop looking at the charts every minute and literally was hanging at the edge of my seat. I decided to compromise after just 2 days and say that maybe I'm not cut out for this. Sadly that made me lose quite a few bucks.

There isn't an absolute safe haven imo. It isn't like Bitcoin can't be a safe haven, it's just that the market impact of the virus also hit it, just like how the virus impacted the various stocks out there. It wasn't like Bitcoin was the only one hit as you said, Even gold, said to be another safe haven which is probably considered by most better than BTC, was hit. So who's to say that it isn't a safe haven anymore right? And besides, it wasn't considered one till it's issue of volatility is gone. Since the market supply is still currently being moved around, this brings about the fact that Bitcoin can't act as a safe asset. Probably once the supply is all out and after a few years then, you could consider it, but right now? Not really.

I'm pretty sure as far as official sources go, the virus is only transmitted through the fluids of someone being intake by others. Like their saliva, or something, not particularly sure about the specifics but as far as I know it isn't an airborne one. Do correct me if I'm wrong though, with official sources ofc. Anw, even if we do agree with what you're saying, that there's a "group" out there spreading the virus, there's no way to stop it already. Tad bit too late imo because a lot of other people that aren't part of the said "group" have already been infected and is the one spreading the virus instead. I'm not agreeing that there's someone spreading it though, just speaking from what your idea of how it spread that is.

Additionally, blockchain has no help in getting a vaccine for this problem imo. Blockchains are database itself, records of transactions that can't be tampered. The hell do you want the blockchain to do in face of a pandemic virus. The easiest and fastest way for the economy to return would be for scientists to develop a proper vaccine for the virus. Sadly, that would also take the most time. Another resolution is to isolate the virus itself from those that are healthy, and this is the hardest way imo. Especially since there are a lot of people out there saying nonsensible things like "There is no Virus, the government is lying to us" Shenanigans and those that are frigging fearless of it, much so that they even participate in riots about the lockdowns and quarantines happening.

Going shit seems to be too much. It pretty much just bent to the will to the majority of those big companies, albeit a minimal amount. Kind of like meeting halfway through to make an agreement. Not to mention the explosive growth of Bitcoin in every aspect which only took 10 years. The government as an authority HAD to do something. It's not like they're just idiots to ignore something that literally imposes control over something they themselves control. Not to mention that they can't even participate in negotiations with whoever is backing BTC because no one is backing it. Well, there is, but it's a collective organization without any leader, simply speaking, the crypto community that is invested in making BTC an asset that could be assimilated to the entire world.

Uhm. In essence, Blockchain is purely just a record of transactions that can't be altered. That's that. What kind of bloody idea did you have to even start comparing it against robotics, solar panels, and the like? You didn't even bother making a comparison that can be found ON the internet. All stated examples are pretty much physical items. How can you even make a good comparison with that kind of notion? Just the fact that there's an output already removes the idea of these products not being supported by a company or group.

Even if you take into account that it is concerned with payments/money, that is based on the fact that the project itself appeals to the public. And with the said projects actually fighting against BTC? Why even bother? And do remember that BTC became famous because it had no backing and is fully supported only by the community. This idea of yours stems from the fact that no central organization should be supporting the project, so then why would anyone start making it if there is no profit no? Just because BTC is famous doesn't mean that everyone would do the exact same thing as it is. They'd have to prioritize profiting off of any ideas they could get imho.

I don't think so?? I mean, Internet access itself would slowly become cheaper since more access would pretty much just be available over time. More expenses are being made because those are strictly different from what the concept of Internet access holds. You can freely access the internet to talk to others (social media), to look up information and news and the like. Those are strictly what the internet should be tbh. But different companies took advantage of the Internet as a medium and used it to introduce different ideas, hence the additional payments for like Cloud storage. Mobile data is honestly optional, it's only required when you go outside that has no reception of internet.

Can't really help it. The majority of us won't even leave our houses after all since checkpoints are all over the place and you wouldn't even be able to pass by them without a valid reason. Not to mention the fact that most usages of the car right now are used by the government to transport food and supplies, and they only number to a few hundred in each place. If you were to compare that to how the oil usage is normally in a regular day, you'd probably see that right now, less than 1% of the original amount are being used. There's also the idea of planes not being used and they also number quite a lot, so you had to have seen this kind of thing already when various major countries started implementing lockdowns.

Banks were a thing cause of the security guarantee they have after all. Mostly because it's an official organization backing it and you can legitimately see their companies everywhere which is probably what BTC losses out. Yes, there are escrow services out there, but there are still possibilities of you losing out, and not anyone knows how to perform escrow. Still, banks have such bad services right now cause of the lack of improvement they made these days cause they think they are pretty much at the top and wouldn't really be replaced by anything. Though they do gradually improve their systems, it is still quite lacking with the expectations of consumers imo.

Glad the seller was trusted though. One thing hard to find in sellers that accept crypto are trusted ones after all.

Up this lmaoo.

Not only cruel at that point. I can't help but really pity them once they resort to stealing and the like. When someone starts to resort to stealing, they'd honestly be blinded by it by the 2nd or 3rd time they do it. 1st time? Not so much. More like they'd be guilt-ridden because of their actions. Most of them do anw, but not all. There's also the pity for him as a victim, but not by gambling but by himself. Gambling is in a sense a means to an end after all. It isn't supposed to be at fault for whatever consequences one might actually receive in his life. He sadly played himself badly by trying to use that means. Even with the pandemic ongoing and you have nothing to do, it isn't really an excuse for someone to succumb to stealing cause of gambling.
