There is nothing wrong in paying a fair price for the vaccine and its development, as you said everything has a cost. The issue here in my country is that middlemen between the government and the vaccines' sellers were receiving bribery to finish the deal in order to supply the country with the vaccines. It's all under investigation yet, but it was said these middlemen were charging 1 dollar per shot.
That is a lot of money, but it isn't a surprise for me, because it was already known something like this would happen, since the government allied themselves with lots of thieves of political world to guarantee support at the legislative house.

Furthermore, we never know if the vaccines are really legit since we are being ruled by thieves. Someone who charges 1 dollar in bribery per shot can also vaccinate people with water and say it's vaccine.

The point is to improve life conditions on long run. For me what doesn't make sense is to earn, let's say, a minimum wage and spend everything during the month. What are the perspectives of a life like this for a poor/average individual, knowing he is going to end his life in the same financial condition he is right now? That is depressing and mediocre.
At least by eating little today it can guarantee abundant meals futurely. It's a hard decision and I would like it wasn't the reality, but we have to do the possible with the disponible tools we have.

Before I said to stay hungry is exaggerated because there are governmental and private programs to help people in such conditions. They distribute food, clothes and money for those in need. Also, food production nowadays is totally mechanized and added to transgenic technology proportionates large harvests with low effort and crops' diseases.

I agree with OP. Not everyone have a fixed income, job offers around or a job that allow themselves to spend their btc portfolio, knowing they can replace it next month. Some people have only one chance and must take this opportunity seriously, resigning confort and pleasure on short run to try achieving it on long run in a sustainable way.
To stay hungry might be a bit exaggerated nowadays, but of course we have to buy cheaper food or eat less in order to save money, otherwise our monthly income isn't enough to pay for daily expenses and still save a little bit. Each one's reality is different and each individual should act accordingly to it without worrying about how others will judge them.

I would add a point:

• You believe bitcoin is going to be overcame by a random altcoin because a digital influencer who referred you to a telegram group promised it is going to happen

That is a reason why some investors are losing money. They avoid bitcoin because they think it takes too long to return profit over their investment and prefer to put their funds into an altcoin which promoters say it's going to be return by 1000% monthly, surpassing any profit bitcoin could guarantee them. They risk everything for a short run profit, because the long run is too much to wait for.
And actually these altcoins' clever developers and promoters are taking the investments from these people and buying bitcoin for themselves.

These people pretend to be Satoshi because they know others around will get interested on them for this reason, what will give their schemes some credibility and attract greedy investors, since they will think the faketoshi is a wealthy profitable man. Similar situation happens regards Elon Musk: investors idolize him because he has a lot of money and people imagine they can also get some profit by following the guy.

We never know what governments are going to do next, but when they reach too close to crypto currency I think we need to start being careful about our money, especially in crisis times like this where the whole world is still suffering the economical consequences of the pandemic and governments are desperate for extra receipt. Some time ago I asked an exchange I'm a customer if the government could seize the funds stored there from users' accounts and they just replied me to not store my bitcoins on the exchange. That means the possibility does exist.

To have a plan B in case of emergency is a good idea, like a triggered migration to a friendly bitcoin country if necessary.

Well, it's a big worry for me because unfortunatelly I can't use bitcoin as currency yet. Without converting it to fiat, bitcoin would have no use for me besides investment for the future. If things were different and many sellers were already accepting bitcoin as payment, the possibility of not being able to convert btc to fiat wouldn't bother me.
I really would like to see that happening, then fiat wouldn't be necessary anymore. But for now it is too much to ask for. At this moment, all we can do is to expect our local governments aren't going to impose a bitcoin ban like some other countries are doing.

That is very bad news for decentralized crypto currency enthusiasts. A communist government launching their own crypto project will surely go totally against bitcoin. However I can't say it was a surprise because it was probably inspired by communist government of China, which is more advanced on this field, as recently news stated, and probably will help its communists partners.
It's a good moment for bitcoin adopters in Vietnam become alert and follow news about it closely in order to keep their funds protected and act before the government tries something against them.

Regards the issue of having underage people gambling I believe parents and families are really the responsible ones for educating and forbidding their children from gambling until they hit the adulthood, that means from that moment on they will answer for their own acts. But while that time doesn't come, parents need to be careful with which sites they let logged in their devices and also how their children are spending the money that is given to them. If the children are spending this money wrongly, just cut their income and there won't be any gambling activity.

This modern dynamic society is sick. People take anyone saying anything seriously if they have big money in their pockets. The guy treats his public like they had mental issues and the sheep cheers joyful. For speculators it's a big opportunity, but for those looking for safe investments to grow their little earnings it's better to stay away.

Investors should keep in mind, especially the small ones, that speculation isn't for anyone. Speculators have a lot of ammo to waste spend, so they can shoot in all directions without aiming on the target and still hit it. For small investors (most people) it's different: they just few or one bullet and have to use it wisely and precisely to hit the target and I guess aiming the *baby doge* isn't a good choice...

There are people who drop dead after few days of the vaccine (of course drop dead is just an expression, people just die) and you can find it easily on google news, but after minutes of the vaccine it's a surprise for me. However I remember before covid became a pandemic, when it was just starting in Wuhan, China, there were lots of videos on social medias showing people literally dropping dead on the streets without apparent reason. By now I don't know if those videos were true, since no one talked about it anymore. Crazy and scaring videos.

I've seen this kind of mentality more often at land based casinos. People were used to play at machines which were giving more prizes in small time periods. So they would wait the currently player go away to play on that machine, even though there were so many others disponible. It's a common belief to think some machines give more prizes at certain hours of the day, but at online gambling there isn't such thing.

Maybe with high profitability he was referring to low house edge games. This way it's more likely you will win against the house.

Usually that is how things work. Poor people have to worry about their survival, while the richest ones can enjoy their lives without financial worries. The survival isn't easy and often it reaches close to the savagery. People struggling to survive tend to do immoral things and lack values civilized societies estimate for. It's common to see in poor communities the conivency of its residents with the criminals who control the area and their shady deals. These people justify acting like this for their own survival.

On the other hand, there are also the upper classes' people who act in the same immoral ways, because they can't accept the possibility of losing power, status and money, so they cheat the rules. These are the entrepreneurs who get close to governments to acquire advantages, pay bribery and accept any kind of deal if it is going to benefit them. Actually, some of these wealthy men were poor or miserable someday and it's important to notice they didn't have the poor or middle class mentality, since they upgraded their life status, although it was in a wrong way.

So I think it's hard to measure who is good or bad, prejudiced or benefited through poor, middle or rich mentalities. I think it's more accurated to measure it by the honest and dishonest mentalities that don't distinguish any classes and are present in all.

It's easier to track criminals who deal with bitcoin too. For thieves it's much better to use paper money since it can't be tracked. That is why we see these guys on the movies making their deals always eqquiped with bags, suitcases full of big chunks of paper money.

Why would NSA create bitcoin? Just for fun, to make a joke or to bet against their workmates who is going to crack it first and when? It doesn't make sense. That is a very simplistic explanation for something very complexly created like bitcoin.

Congratulations to the winners in field and outside the field, that are the gamblers who took the risks of betting on this unpredictable match against the favorite giant Brazil. Argentina knew all they had to do was to neutralize Neymar to overcome the brazilian team. On the other hand, all Brazil had to do was to neutralize Messi as well, however in the end they weren't able to do it with the same efficiency argentinians did.
Anyway I think Argentina really deserved this victory because they were trying for so long as was Messi, I feel good for them. Furthermore brazilian players and coach didn't want to play this cup since it was announced the games would be held in Brazil, creating a lot of unnecessary fud on the media. Probably they weren't inspired to play.

The risk of bitcoin becoming infinite does exist, just like fiat. That is what I understood from the possibility of splitting the decimal houses beyond the 8 digits we currently. So it's a way to make the currency infinite not by literally increasing its amount, but by splitting it into several minor parts. Today 100,000,000 satoshis are equal to 1 bitcoin, but tomorrow it can be 1,000,000,000 satoshis equal to 1 bitcoin or even more satoshis could be needed. Some people might say it's not the same than increasing the supply amount, but it really looks like it is and I think it would affect bitcoin very negatively.

Movies seek for audience, so they will introduce any subject that is being commonly discussed by the society at the present moment to grab that public to the movie. Bitcoin popularity is increasing along the years and even more recently after the crash in price and statements from different celebrities and whales about the digital currency. Movies' directors will take this opportunity to turn all this talk talk into money for themselves.
I can't say I'm excited about introduction of bitcoin on movies because movies' industry isn't exciting anymore since at least a decade ago, but I hope it helps bitcoin adoption to increase, as movies have the power of captivating interest from the public for the elements presented on the film.

I don't stick with a specifc site or few sites. I just look general news on the internet from different sources through the google's searching tool. This way it's possible to find the main crypto news from different sites, increasing the range of the search. Twitter is also a good tool to find news regard crypto currency through its hashtags or simple keywords related to crypto universe.
That is a pretty accurated method because more recent news will be displayed first so you don't lose anything.

As expected we had an exciting game where both teams put a lot of energy on the offensive position trying to leave the cup with a positive impression from the public. Despite Peru loss, I think the team didn't finish too badly. They fought bravely and showed a legit desire to win the game, even knowing Colombia was visibly the favorite since the beginning.
For the next 4 years Peru will have enough time to improve their skills for the next cup, when they can finally come back stronger than before. I see potential on them for it.

I think all these games went bankrupt. As far as I know only normal faucets where you need to complete a captcha and watch some ads in order to claim some dust of bitcoin or altcoins remain. Actually they don't pay directly to micro wallets anymore as in the old good days. Now they pay you in plain coins inside their own platforms and you have to create one account on each faucet (a big waste of time) to accumulate these coins which have a mutable ratio when exchanging into a real crypto currency. However the ratio is absurdly low and it takes ages to reach minimum cashout amount.

Google adsense killed the industry you mentioned by not allowing their ads to show on these sites and now I think we will have to wait until blockchain games become more popular to see some benefit in play to earn games again.
