Gambling isn't a very good profit venture in the first place, with the odds and everything, even rigged, not always in your favor. That being said, it wouldn't make sense to pay more on someone just to guarantee you a win, but some people do when it comes to employing the services of "professional bettors" as OP clearly clarified that they are not brokers of any sort. Still, I don't think this is a niche that will last and would most certainly die off as more and more gambling sites and casinos become aware of their presence.

Defi projects are way ahead of the news, which is why most of the ongoing projects and those who are about to surface promise NFT features in one way or another. And this is no joke, the concept is promising and offers tons of opportunities for collectors and creators alike, which is why it is the biggest thing in the crypto scene right now.

It's not about how much you save, it's about how consistent you save. and with the current regimen you're pursuing we can all say you are on the right path. Not only are you prolonging your life, you're securing not only yours but your family's future as well. So way to go brother, and I hope you carry on with this project you have.
I know that quitting is not easy but you made it and did something more  wiser that can benefited you in the future, congrats.

Now you're free on putting your health at risk because of cigarette, its really an expensive addiction.

If you continue buying up to this point, probably you had 0.015 like @blockman said. I wish you goodluck and be consistent on this decision.
Right? People may say that what he's doing with his money is stupid, especially the nonbelievers, but with the current state of the market and the promising future it radiates, OP is in a very nice path towards healthy living and financial success.
864  Economy / Economics / Re: The End of Covid Scam? "Governor Abbott Opens Texas 100 Percent" on: March 06, 2021, 11:24:15 PM
"We're just sayin'. To abolish mask-wearing laws in some States while the rest of the nation keeps theirs is like designating a peeing section of the swimming pool."- Neil Degrasse-Tyson said in a twitter post. And honestly, I couldn't agree more to this statement. It seems preposterous to me that the fact that USA has more COVID cases than any other country in the whole world, including China, with over 27 million cases and counting, whilst at the same time downplaying the dangers that COVID-19 can inflict not only to a person's health but their community and ultimately the country itself. Like WTF people? Are Americans really this stubborn? What's more funny here is the fact that people argue that mandating them to wear mask is against their constitutional rights. Like, come on America, you were better than this. We had high hopes for your people, don't let us down like that by making yourself look silly in front of other countries.
865  Economy / Economics / Re: Will New York become a Bitcoin hub on: March 06, 2021, 11:11:10 PM
As of the moment, the main issue of environmentalists about bitcoin is how polluting it can be to the environment, with the use of fossil fuels as its main source of energy as of the moment, this comes as no surprise. But Yang is a visionary, and probably with the help of influential figures, in the field of energy, we can power this crypto hub in a renewable energy source, possibly wind or solar energy, which is becoming more and more efficient by the day.
866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anyone placed esports bets? on: March 05, 2021, 12:45:47 AM
When it comes to e-sports betting then I do usually hang out with;

GG.bet,Loot.bet and cloudbet.com

2 of them accepting cryptocurrencies which do make even more convenient for me and the one is that old and famous esports betting platform since from the start.

GG.bet is also my go-to, been betting with them since 2019. What I realize betting on a regular sports game vs on an esports match is that at times it's evident who will win or lose, even after the start of a game. See, esports don't really have that much underdogs, and whenever there is it's not like they win among the giants. So basically it's easier to bet on esports for me personally, than in regular sports like football or soccer
867  Economy / Economics / Re: Can the world be without poverty on: March 03, 2021, 10:51:43 PM
The world can live without people dying of hunger, that is one thing that is true. Jobs are something the world can't live out of however, so in this case, if everyone is given the chance to formal education, and at the same time job opportunities and livable wage, poverty can be eradicated while maintaining the current hierarchy of things, unfortunately the upper echelons are blinded by greed and would do anything in their ability to ensure they hoard all the money in the world.
868  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dont stay in crypto too long on: March 03, 2021, 10:49:05 PM
A newbie's interpretation of the current stature of the market indeed. There's no way bitcoin can be controlled by a single government for that matter. First off, it is decentralized. Secondly, it is made to be anonymous, even regulating it proves to be a herculean task for some countries. So the chances of the government being able to tap into bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies' power for that matter is basically zero.
Unfortunately I experienced this badly. Do not think that I will earn when I stay for a long time. I thought that and lost a lot of money. When the coin rises, sell it.
Thing about cryptocurrencies is that you have to choose the best one, and in the vast sea of coins currently popping in and out on the market, it could be difficult. But there are well established coins out there like bitcoin that could continuously make you money provided that you have the patience it takes. 
869  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is developed nations asking money from other nations? on: March 03, 2021, 10:41:30 PM
A collateral is given in return for loaning these countries' funds, So it's not like these developing countries are at a great loss, plus they gain the favor of US which is really good in the event of a war, knowing that USA has a vast arsenal of weaponry and a nuclear weapon at its disposal. So they gain collaterals and security as well by letting US loan funds on them.
870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever lost a bet in this way? on: March 03, 2021, 10:22:08 PM
As for me, I follow a strict rule when I am gambling to ensure that the game doesn't get in my head and ultimately cost me more losses in the process. I automatically stop when I get three losses, regardless of how much I have won so far, this ensures that if I have won in the first part, I still get to keep my earnings, and if I really lost it, I can still get away with something left in me.
871  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does the death of Bitcoin also mean the death of cryptomania?? on: March 02, 2021, 11:46:12 PM
Since it pretty much carries the cryptocurrency name to the public, there is a high tendency that if bitcoin were to die, people's insights and opinions about cryptocurrencies could change for the worst. And that's probably the reason why most banks out there attack bitcoin solely, since they knew that if the bitcoin hype were to die, the ones that came along with it will too eventually.
872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: March 02, 2021, 11:33:04 PM
It mostly depends on how much I got, but I generally ensure that I can save some of it and/or gamble some of it. If it's not that big, then I'd prioritize hodling it since it guarantees me more profits rather than gambling it all. I can tell that most of my fellow Signature Campaign members are also into this type of earning.

874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the Lightning Network replace on-chain transactions sometime in the future? on: March 01, 2021, 10:47:59 PM
Definitely, As you have said, people will put up with either choosing a new altcoin or the lightning network, and since most altcoins in the market aren't that great as a leeway as they were before, the Lightning Network seems to be the most plausible answer to our problems with high transaction fees in the future. Honestly I'm puzzled why not everyone is using it.
875  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you think about borrowing against your bitcoin? on: March 01, 2021, 10:44:44 PM
Debt is truly bad indeed, personally I am in debt right now and I can't emphasize how awful it is to wake up everyday knowing that anytime soon your bank could call you asking for the money. Which also became my driving force to invest in bitcoin. Now regarding your question, you have to understand that people have their needs too, and for sure bitcoin is bound to reach perhaps even $1 million, but that's going to take a very long time, and everyone's gotta eat today, not next decade. And of course, we wouldn't advise borrowing money to invest in bitcoin, as hopeful we are with bitcoin's mooning, we are also aware that all of it can be gone in a snap of a finger.
As much as possible if you really wanted something that you still cannot afford to have as of the moment, you better not to include the idea of borrowing money no matter what the reason is for the fact that you still have lots of time until you can afford having such thing. The point is that if you have been familiar into the concept of always borrowing money is that you will not progress that easy because you are being dependent into someone or something that can let you borrow money just to afford what you wanted to have. In terms of Bitcoin, we all do know how unstable or volatile price of Bitcoin is so why do make it an idea borrowing money and using it as a collateral when you are still not sure of how the price will be keep going? As much as possible avoid getting into debt and do only limit yourself into things you can afford.
My personal motto, "if you can't buy four of those, then you can't afford it", which of course does not apply to investing, a simple mantra to help me control my spending, and to keep me from borrowing money.
876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Gambling and Fantasy Sports - A Gap in the Market? on: March 01, 2021, 10:36:43 PM
I agree that the niche has yet to be filled, but I don't see how this could be very bad considering there are currently thousands of betting modes to choose from, with Fantasy betting only being one of those. If you consider it that way, you would see that it is not that really relevant, and in my honest opinion, fantasy betting already reached its peak last 2014 and it's all downhill from there.

878  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do I convince people that Bitcoin isn't a financial pyramid? on: February 28, 2021, 11:04:53 PM
first, let them be educated about how supply and demand works, basic economics type of stuff. And then tell them more about the technology and the discipline behind bitcoin's existence, basically explaining to them that this is digital money, that just happened to be very expensive and so is then used to earn, I used this type of lecture and so far people with prejudice about bitcoin within my family are now open to learn about it while some are already buying their bitcoins.
I stopped convincing people that Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme. I used to that when I was new in crypto and when I started earning through bounties and trading. However, the more you convenience and try to explain to other people, it always falls into deaf's ears. If they will not believe it, it is their loss and not mine. Some of the friends that I introduced BTC to as early as 2013 are now sending me DMs on how to start. Well, it may not be too late but you have missed a couple of years of income if you would've started a while back.
There's that, however. I am as eager convincing people as I was way back in 2017, there's will definitely be people who are close-minded, but just like sales, you can just simply cross them out and then carry on with letting people know about bitcoin, especially now that more and more million dollar companies are investing in it, we would need a lot of small-time investors like us to counterbalance this.
879  Economy / Economics / Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today on: February 28, 2021, 10:57:19 PM
With bitcoin being a very big thing today, one may opt to ensure his/her safety first. So there's a high possibility that no one will publicly declare that they were pioneer holders out of their concern for their privacy. And I don't really see the point of telling people that you are a pioneer holder anyway so there's that.
880  Other / Off-topic / Re: Corruption and Sports on: February 28, 2021, 10:49:14 PM
Corruption can definitely exist outside the government but your example OP is a bit too fantastical, it almost looks like a soap opera, but then again, life imitates art I guess. These types of things are way beyond what we normally can do as an individual, and the hardest part of this of course is discovering first that this is happening.
