I think AI could be used as a way to help minimize the addiction on gambling. I don't know much about the technical side of this but my idea is that AI could be a way to assess each individuals habit and probably finances since it could suggest ways to make you not lose all your money and as well not be addicted since there are signs before you reach that.

I agree and I think it would really take time before we could see physical money to be fully replaced bycryptocurrencies. Yes, cryptos' are gaining popularity but majority would think of it immediately as something technical and overwhelming. I think people would take time to absorb the technicalities of this. Government also plays a role in this as majority of countries are still hesitant to whether use it as a currency. But is is a good thing that some countries are now legalizing it since it would become a great way for other to see its advantage and disadvantage as well.

I agree since if you think, when playing slots you are just simply there waiting for results, no strategy involved, just pure play of luck. Thus, it is indeed a game of chance, where there is no slightest guarantee of win when you analyze it. On the other hand, Poker is a game where you can assess the game and have a bet that is from your experience and skill with the game. Although, we might say that luck also is a part of it, we can still classify it as a game of skill since basically you can apply your skills to it in order for you to win.

I agree since it is very essential that you know what entrepreneurship is and basically how to run businesses. It isn't just simple things since there are some technical aspects with regards to this such as analysis of the market and taxes. A degree of course would be of great help to entrepreneurs since they have first hand knowledge that they can use to lead their company. Although, it isn't necessary, you can make these as an advantage so that your company would continue to strive and excel in the market.

Yes, it is right that car is really helpful for families for those where the school or the stores are far from their home. Just always consider your financial stability when going into investing like these. As long as you can afford it, just buy it since money is meant to be used for the things that would be helpful to us and/or would make us feel good. But, the point that middle class often had financial stress when buying thing is a valid point since most of them do not consider their financial capability when going into deals of buying cars. This is not a good move especially when the only reason why you pushed yourself on buying these is to show off. It is much better to be financially sound without having car than be stressed while having a car. The main point is that we should continue to strive to be financially capable and be able to buy the things for ourselves that is within our financial capacity so that stressed would not come our way.

I think that what is meant by the phrase “invest only what you can afford to lose” is to not invest the money that is meant for important things such as emergency savings and the personal expenses that you need to live. I think, we should keep in mind that in the world of investment in cryptocurrencies, the larger you invest the larger the profit or loss you could have. You should be trying to fully understand the economy since there are really some signs regarding the volatility of the cryptos. Also, regarding the profitability, I think, if you consider to invest as of this writing and then hold it for long time, you could see a profit if you are just persistent with your investment because this would really take time.

I think this is something that I am not shocked to know since online gambling can be manipulated since there is a system that you do not fully understand how it works. Online gambling sites could probably use these tactics of making hard for the players to win since they want them to feel the adrenaline of losing so that they would want to play more. Also, these companies want to earn, and making it online makes it easier to manipulate and be susceptible to tricks. So, I think this is the reality with the online gambling scene.

Yes, I think you can be financially independent through cryptocurrencies but do not expect it to happen in just a blink of an eye. You must consider that investing in this wont always guarantee a profit. But, if you approach it with a right and planned approach, if you assess the economy and the prices, you might get the results that you want. It would never be easy to achieve it since being financially independent requires you to have a steady cash flow in which you can use the money in anything you want. This may take time, but for me, it is achievable, just be adaptive to the changes in the economy.

I think for those who really have time to do those thing, It won't be a waste for them. But, to be perfectly honest, personally I would not want to do those refer type of work, since it heavily relies on how many people can you persuade to use the app or website. Also, it pays a little amount and some end up to be just scam, so it is quite hard to dedicate yourself to achieve certain quotas.

I agree since although we could have the most planned strategy in gambling, I think that it wont last since every event has completely random chances and result. Luck is a random thing that our mind often thinks as something that is innate on us. There might be situation that your strategy leads to win consecutively, but I think this wont last. So probably, you can just continuously adapt but at the end of the day, it is a game of luck and it still rely on its randomness.

I agree since there is no scientific method that would explain how luck works. Personally, I see luck as a mindset that we embedded on ourselves in seeing the outcomes of anything. We set our minds that when it goes on our way, it is due to luck, when it can be seen as completely random event. Yes, as you go on being exposed to the betting activity, I think strategy can be used but at the end it would just rely on the randomness of it. I agree that it wont make you have a higher chance on winning since it is still random.

This is the same with my country as we are now facing the worst inflation rate. However, even though prices go up faster every month, our country is so incompetent that they can't increase the wage. Meaning the level of wages isn't moving but the prices of goods are moving very fast. This is hard since you can't catch up and your purchasing power decreases every month. I just hope our government do something to address this.

I think this is true since in my country, I often see people gamble through different ways. I think this widespread of people engaged in gambling is mostly due to their want to earn more so they are willing to gamble their money to get more. I can consider it popular in my country since we can see it to be embedded in our culture since it is often portrayed in movies and series, so most people have idea about it. So, it is no doubt that most of the population would be involved in gambling since even in the smallest event, gambling activity can be seen like when there are friend gathering where they often play card games that involved minimal amount of money.

I agree with this, we have seen how bitcoin manage to soar a high price then eventually crash to its current value. I think this is normal since cryptocurrencies are known to be volatile, so if ever the price crashes, you just have to assess why is it happening. Since, at the first place, you should be employing the rule to yourself that any money that you invest in cryptos are those money you should afford to lose. Crashes won't really affects you rather it would be a great opportunity to buy since bitcoin is known to recover from this crashes. So, it would all boils down to how great you plan your finances since if you don't put all your money in investing bitcoin, it won't be a problem when this happens.

We are the same since I'm an introvert and I often get intimidated on trying out things especially that gambling is something that most would think is a bad influence since most get addicted to it. I would definitely prefer online gambling given it has all the features and security that you can access while staying at home. However, we could never see online gambling to be more preferred by majority since physical offers you to be in the moment and to actually see it in person.

Yeah, perhaps there should be need of progress images i.e. screenshots or WIP images coz with AI capabilities surging at the moment, we might lose this kind of contest.

I'd like to get the attention of Hhampuz to revise the mechanics of this contest. Using an art generation platform should be prohibited as it defeats the sole purpose of this contest which is to bring out its participants creativity. Also, the judges should be aware of such art presented to them.

Reserve!

Trae Young would be an upgrade for the Lakers coz I really think they lack of some outside shooters. Lakers path this season wouldn't be that much surprising either way, be a champion or just another ordinary team. Even Lebron himself in Lakers does not make a huge impact for the team to win, he can't carry his team these days  I'm a fan of him but I don't see him winning a ring this season. A complete Celtics would beat them up easily without AD. Sacramento would make a close them game to Lakers despite not having that all star in the team. But I still gamble on Lakers' game lol.
