But then there is another point: who does guarantee these vaccines are going to prevent people from getting covid and compromising lungs and even dying? I've seen several famous people in my country who were vaccinated twice and still died anyway. That is why I say both sides of the narratives shouldn't be trusted.
Who got vaccinated should still be very careful and not rely on the vaccine to go back to normal life, because we don't really know how useful it is going to be on practice. And the media who sells the false illusion of these vaccines being the solution for covid won't take any responsability for any deaths.

I never understood what is the purpose of this game. You buy properties that won't be yours and that you can do nothing with them, holding just a virtual copy of a piece of google maps.
Why not take this money and invest in real estates or in a physical property which you can generate some income from?

The problem nowadays is that no one is to be trusted. You have one side claiming vaccines are the solution and the other side saying vaccines cause a lot of side effects and will just turn things worse. Both sides are liars and deceptive, only repeating narratives they are told by others, meanwhile people trying to understand what the facts are become lost in the middle of this war of false or half true narratives.
I think only time will tell if vaccines are really efficient and if side effects are acceptable. By there all informations emerging are nothing more than pure speculation.

It's better to stay away from these coins you mentioned. Although it's possible to make nice profit by speculating on these shitcoins, it's also very risky to hold them and small investors who can't afford to lose money should stick only with solid main crypto currencies which have strong potential for future gains.
I believe shitcoins/memecoins are more like a toy for rich investors to play among their group of friends and to have something curious to talk about, since they can afford to lose without considerable negative consequences later for their personal finances.

Yes, caution is always needed. Axies is just an example of how demanded such tokens can become and it's somehow an experiment which has been doing very well. Anyway right now it's really overpriced in my opinion, because the hype. To put 1000$ in a game to purchase the weakest possible team is a lot for me, although people are surprisingly doing this and the servers are constantly overloaded.
Actually NFTs will become a real thing when big companies adopt and develop their own tokens. Probably all the categories of online games will have to introduce this feature on their platforms to stay competitive.

Axies Infinity's NFTs are pretty hot right now with so much demand for the game rising, especially among asian countries. But that is just the beginning, because NFTs have a lot of potential yet which wasn't fully explored by the industry. I believe in few years NFTs will be much more stronger and widely adopted with the development of new projects involving this kind of coins.
I also think the real worthful NFTs to invest your time and money weren't even created yet. Therefore it's important to keep watching the news and new developments regard NFTs, especially those projects which offer real usage for the non fungible tokens, going beyond merely collectible cards, which are useless in my opinion.

Long term best investment is bitcoin, the original crypto currency which gave origin to all altcoins. At this point I think it's a bit dangerous to think about altcoins being good long run investments, because they are becoming too similar when compared to their pairs... Ethereum had the advantage of running its own network, making possible for many developers to create their own projects on this network. However, new networks are being developed as well, like Binance one which also work on its own, so Ethereum doesn't have the same status it had before. On the other hand, nothing threats bitcoin. That is why it's definitely the best investment option.

To hold isn't a common rule everyone should follow exactly the same way. Each person has different goals and necessities in life and have to adequate their holding strategies to their own lifestyle in order to fulfill these needs. For how long to hold is a very personal decision that is only up to each individual. I can only say the profitability of bitcoin is much more promising the longer you hold, but you are the one who decides when to sell and shouldn't always take in consideration what others are doing before selling or buying your coins, because again, everyone has different goals and necessities.

Develop your intuition, set financial goals in your life, learn how to manage your money and you will find the answer for this question in yourself.

Yes, the desire to manipulate prices does exist. But I think it's not sustainable on long run, because many people who followed celebrities like Musk in the past have already lost too much money due to the market's fluctuations, what compromises the reputation of the popular individual advertising he bought nice amounts of any coins.
People who followed Musk recently aren't going to keep doing this, otherwise they are fools who like to lose money, while feeling pleasure in being sheep of someone else. Clever guys who try to manipulate the market may think they are going to be benefited, although the reality can be quite the opposite. Nobody likes manipulators besides their own sheep.

It's like a saying mentioned in a thread's title at gambling section: "It takes years to build a reputation and seconds to break it".

It was just an experience for Brazil to play without Neymar since they were already guaranteed for the next stage of the competition. Anyway it was a failed experience because once again Brazil just proved how much they need Neymar to stay competitive in any games. Without him they are just a common team without much expression. Although it's very good to have a player like Neymar, it's also a big issue for brazilian team to have to count with only one player to win.

Some other countries have inferior players and despite all difficulties they compose a balanced team, not having any idols and still being at same level of idolized Messi and Neymar's teams, Argentina and Brazil.

• From savings point of view:

The impact was very positive. Bitcoin introduced me into the financial world and made me aware about the big ponzi scheme we live in our traditional financial systems, ruled by fiat. From that moment on I started paying more attention to inflation and its impacts in the daily life of the society and how we are becoming poorer each new year due to weak devaluating national currencies.
At first moment it's shocking to see doesn't matter how much effort you do to save money, you will never see considerable gains if you keep it in fiat. Thankfully bitcoin became an alternative to protect my funds and I've been seeing the results along the time, despite the temporary losses due to bearish market.

• From earnings point of view:

Bitcoin was great to introduce new kinds of virtual jobs and tasks to many people on the internet, including me. Many earnings opportunities appeared due to bitcoin and the easiness it afforded when connecting people from different countries in a decentralized network, replacing traditional and bureaucratic third party services like Paypal and their competitors.
I hope to see these opportunities growing in number, because each new day more and more people are going to rely on online income to make a living. That is the demand increasing fastly, so the supply must increase on the same proportion to keep the environment working.

Those who can stay at home without prejudice should really do this, because vaccines aren't guarantee of anything. It's just more like a tool to calm down people and decrease the side psychological effects of the lockdown.

Land based casinos are avid for profit, because their businesses suffered a lot during the pandemic, so it's normal they want to reopen faster as possible, but gamblers don't need to go all on it as the pandemic were over, since there is online gambling which replaces the physical casinos with excellency and don't put anyone at infection risk.

I think interesting how the same media which was so worried about the pandemic now claims that the vaccines are the magical solution to defeat the virus. Vaccines developed and crafted in 1 year which we don't know all the possible effects and real efficiency yet.

That is an interesting approach. I've already thought about something similar, but regards liquor shops and alcohol addicted people. However, the counter argument will be that if a casino doesn't accept a player because he doesn't have a fixed income, this player simply will go to another casino and spend money there, instead of spending at the first casino.
It means the player will spend his money anyway, but the restrictive casino will lose customers and money, staying very below its competitors in the gambling industry and probably going bankrupt.

It's hard to know exactly why casinos act like this sometimes. It may be that they are running out of funds, a selective scam to boost their earnings a little bit, a strong assumption that a player really cheated without having how to prove it with accuracy... There are different answers for this question and the casino might be right in some of these situations, because it's well known there are many players who try to cheat the house constantly and once they are caught they accuse the casino of scamming.

I think there is no way to compete with land based casinos VIP experience, because the possible features to be offerered physically are much superior, especially meals and drinks. Everything online casinos can do is to offer rains, promotions and bonus like cashback feature. But in no way it's going to be more pleasant than the services provided by physical casinos.
The advantage of playing online isn't proportionated by the casino itself, but by the own gambler who will have to create a confortable atmosphere around himself when playing, so he can feel that VIP experience at home.

How can you say people who invested on their platform were scammers? The exchange promised returns through trading bots which could generate that profit percentage monthly and uneducated investors believed that could be real. Maybe they were just naive or crypto newbies, but not scammers. I hope the police finds the two brothers and make them reveal the whole scheme, reaching to every thieves involved on this action, so the stolen money can be recovered and returned to the victims.

Best faucet so far, unfortunatelly only disponible for salvadorans citizens.
Let's see how people in general will react towards this incentive by the government. I think they are just going to cashout the btc into fiat and add the sum to their traditional bank accounts, what is pointless after all. A good campaign would be to incentive entrepreneurs to pay employees in btc and their businesses accept payments in btc also, especially those who are focused on internet niche, like shopping sites, for an example.

I really fear bitcoin adoption isn't going to happen just because the government is going to distribute 30$ to people who have never heard of this before.

How does God have nothing to do with math and probability if he is the creator of all things?
The basics of every religions is that a supreme creator gave origin to all the rest. Although minor gods possessing power to create also exist in some religions they wouldn't exist without a supreme creator that is above all. So God is associated with all the laws which rule the universe, what includes math, probability and everything else. God has nothing to do with the misuse of the elements of his creation, that are the addictions. But there are no problems in having a healthy gambling routine.

Everyone (should) plays aware about the risks, but it doesn't mean we play to lose. We play knowing we may lose, but always trying to increase maximum as possible the probabilities of earning some profit and that is why strategies were developed and adopted. Although they don't assure profit on long run, they increase the chance you are going to profit on short run, and that is what we expect when gambling, isn't it?

That is true, however it's not the main point here.
People are complaining about Martingale and I just would like to know what strategy they use since Martingale doesn't fit their gameplay style.

Governments are corrupt and liars and I see no reason to trust the taxes are going to the right place just because they say it on their paid propaganda. Actually the only thing taxes help is the government itself being reelected through populist actions that involve distribution of free money to the people when the election is near. Not that there is any solution for this, because the sheep begs for this kind of politics, but I think people should be conscious of the facts.

Probably it only encourages the population to buy clandestine cigarettes and liquors which are cheaper instead of stop smoking and drinking.
