But it is said that the players have the right to say no right? So if they might face against the team, maybe Brooklyn or other teams which have allegedly players that are positive to the virus, they can say no? right. If I am a pro player of a team, I would definitely say no since it is really a gamble. But some superstars have proven that they also look at fans as an important part of the game, I guess they would play since people are actually hoping they will.

Still, I am so scared for them.

That is just really unfortunate but I do understand that. They can't just play and follow the new normal since there are other players that are still positive with the virus. I guess we might not really see the continuation of the season in 30 days. That would take them weeks to quarantine and they can't just play after that since as far as I know there will be a follow up test to that.

I guess we will be sticking more to online games or esports betting right now. This is just sad.

Every country has their own ways to say that their government are making wring decisions right and there. Here in our country, a school predicted that the victims might increase at 40K at the start of July, and right now they proven it wrong and they are so happy like the pandemic ended looking at it as a challenge while cases are still increasing everyday.

The thing here is that we are fine with what happened. The prediction didn't happened but the fact that they took that prediction seriously while cases are still increasing and might hit 40k this month is just infuriating.

Well, I don't think that bitcoin or other crypto currencies will be accepted as a currency at all. Right now people are using it since with the volatility it has, it can give them profit in a short period of time. The adoption of it might take some time so it might be accepted as a payment in the future but still, I don't think banks will be worthless at that time and the people needed it, not just those with debit and credit card.

I don't think that they are ignoring it, they are not just aware that crypto currencies exist. If you go to our place, where people are mostly farmers, you can't say that they are not interested or open-minded to it, they not just aware of the technologies that exist these days. They are not updated on what is new and what will be the new thing in the near future, they can't even use a computer nor use their phones to its full capabilities. All they know is that they can call and text through it.

Nice plan but I don't think we need number two since that can be tackled with the general introduction to bitcoin since it is specified as "general" introduction. So you could push number 3 to number 2. Since you are doing it online, you could let them access the forum and make assignments from there like for example read a thread and tell about it in the class, something like that.

Although I am still thinking, as a teacher, we don't see this as a lesson plan but just a structure of what you are planning. You are teaching college students so you need to be organized. You need to plan this as well since you said that your topic is Bitcoin and its usage but I don't think you should add Digital skill right there, I don't know about mining since your topic is bitcoin's usage, you should just add that to "general introduction". To be honest, you could just tackle all the things about bitcoin and its usage in number 1.

You should plan this as well as thinking who will benefit from this, how will they benefit, and if you're plan follow SMART method of goal setting by Dr. Locke and Dr. Latham.

I am also excited about this though I am not that updated right now with the current teams. I am still rooting with my Milwaukee Bucks. I've been rooting them since last last year and right now they are leading the eastern conference. I just hope they follow and we adjust on the new normal right now since we might not be seeing any TTs and noisy fans this continuation of the season.

It is one of the most popular games being streamed right now, thousands are now playing it since it is easier to play than CSGO. I heard a streamer said that if players are used to CSGO, they can quickly adapt the game and that is why most of the professionals of CSGO are playing the game to be the next pros of this game. As far as I know, we have the first tournament of it and most of them are CSGO pros and as far as I know, Subroza is there.

Wardell is said to be the future face of Valorant, who is a CSGO pro. When the tournaments pop up, and it was considered as an esport, obviously it will be added in betting sites, but I know some sites are already in it.

That would be a disaster. People are actually having a hard time to survive the first wave, how much more if we will be having the second wave. Some people thought that what we have right now is the second wave but as far as I know, we are still in the first wave, that is why I hope 2nd wave doesn't happen anymore. Though medical personnel should be ready for this does or it doesn't happen. That would also mean more delays and cancellations of games again.

The thing here is that the government can't save all lives right now, its a pandemic. There is no actual vaccine to kill the virus. The government is not ready for this and I think most of the countries are not that ready when it comes to medical supplies. They can't undo those people who died, what they can do now is to take care of what they have and rebuild for the sake of who died.

People could start to go back to their jobs now. We can't rely on that free money that the government will give. Either it may not be complete or they might expect something that will not happen. Every big step start with small steps and restarting the economy does not always be the government's initiative but also people will be making that happen.  

We have the same goal but I stopped chasing it since I can't focus on teaching now if I will be teaching myself this career. I am not that good in anything that relates to programming. I know someone that also wants to make Blockchain as his career and as far as I know, he is an IT graduate so I think he is good with that. I am not an IT or IS graduate, I don't also know anything about software development. Your possible salary is good but the best thing there is that if you really wanted that career, that should keep you going.

Millennials will be the future users of bitcoin, and I think it is great for them to be voting bitcoin against these large banks since we all know how hard it is to do something that they can't approve. Still, with that small sample size, I guess in the next results we could do more respondents. I know that is asking much but more sample size means more accuracy and better results.

It is still risky for them to open the casinos. Unlike other countries, we all know how people gather in Vegas and how it can be so risky in these times. Cases are still adding up and even though they follow the new normal, they would go out and might be contaminated by the virus outside the casino. It is still better to bet or wage online.

I never thought that it is hard to work in a casino. If that is happening, that is just cruel. The job of the dealer is to manage a table, not to stop people from winning but I guess that is how the casinos work really. Reality is just a cruel place. I have a friend working in the casino in the past but he never said anything about this, maybe this depends on the casino?

The thing that makes me wonder that esport would be more popular in terms of betting is the fact that we are under a pandemic right now and that sports are being stopped. But right now that the sports are resuming, I guess sports would still be more popular than esports.

Esports might gain a lot of viewership in the past but I don't think it would compare to the sports for example like in Basketball. People would bet more in basketball than a LoL match. Esports is still growing, but I think big players in the world of gambling might still stick to sports since people might be scared of what we call match-fixing in esports since it is the scandal of it for a long time now.

I know that you want them to help and you don't want them to suffer but I hope you could read this. I am from a province in the Philippines and I live in a barangay with a lot of poor people. I am not that rich, not a mid one too but we are doing well compared to them.

People are actually struggling to find a job here not because they can't but because they are comfortable with what they can get. They are earning a minimum and they are actually good with that. We are in a province so that is fine but some of the people in our barangay actually can do better since some of the people here are now working overseas, with their connection they can work under them or work somewhere and live with them but they don't want that.

In terms of help, we have what we call 4Ps, in which poor people will be receiving incentives by helping cleaning our barangay but the thing is they don't look at it as a help, they took it as a job and the money being given to them as their wage. As you expect, people are just waiting for that to happen and don't do that much in their spare time. They are relying on that small amount so much, it is not that bad but I know they could do better.

I know it is risky to work right now but I am observing this in years and years I am living here. They wanted luxurious lives but they don't have the drive to do that and I don't know why. From what you are saying that as rich people just kept on getting richer, I guess that river will be widened more if people are just taking jobs they can and not thinking about what they can do and make their lives better. They'll keep on working under but they didn't know they can work better and earn better than that.

If this is in our country, you might not be surprised by it. My countrymen are not that familiar to technologies, even crypto currencies. The Internet is the newest thing for them and if they can access their mobile phones on the internet and surf their Facebook account, they are good. We are a third world country and I am also living in a province, I am used to it.

It is good that crypto currencies are advancing to the gaming indistry but I don't think people would be playing it unless they make it a decent game. There are a lot of people that are actually earning money by playing, we call them esports professionals and streamers, we also have pilots where people pay them to play their accounts and maybe boost their rank. I know that everyone can't do streaming and becoming a pro, what I am saying here is that the game should be also entertaining and somewhat addictive.

Well, that would be true but most of the people that are betting online in these games are actually doing these wages and bets even before the lockdowns and this pandemic started. People betting on these matches might lessen but I don't call that leaving, I might call it going back to normal. Another thing is that they might consider now betting on these games so I don't think all of them will be leaving at all.
