I agree, you're still in control. Those who are not will tap those funds meant for something else and that can be the start of another problem. If he wins and get back the money he just lost, I don't think he will stop, I think he will think that he can still gamble because he is already winning, but what if he lost it again?

You're safe, I'm like you, before I start gambling I promise myself if I lose "this amount" of money, I'll stop. And for the record I always stop. I never even gamble way huge amount of money, I don't treat gambling as a job, its still an entertainment for me. An opportunity to earn but we still have to accept that we won't always earn, and its alright. Losing is part of gambling.

Yeah, thousand of people will swarm stadiums after this pandemic and it scares me. I hope the pandemic is really over when it comes. What I mean over is that we can safely walk in the streets without worrying if we will get one. Safe is when a vaccine is already in circulation and this virus isn't mysterious anymore. And I can wait for years just to feel safe again.



Hah! I feel the same way too sometimes, its scary to watch a game whenever you bet a huge amount and you felt you choose the wrong one and its already too late to change. I do it to some games too because yup I needed to do something else, I just look for updates time to time during the game.

It may be helping us few people who are into bitcoin. However, I still can't say that it is the answer to this pandemic because a lot of people in the world are into fiat money. Stores are also into fiat. Don't get me wrong, bitcoin really helps me, but I can't really say to a person suffering now that bitcoin can help him, there is so much risk, so much time needed to learn about bitcoin to have less risk. They need to earn without the risk of losing the money which they needed.

And, you forgot to tell that a lot of people doesn't have a phone and internet connection too, especially to us 3rd world country, and they are the most vulnerable ones in this pandemic. I can't tell them to try trading in bitcoin right away, they didn't even have the money to use anyway.

I don't think a country would declare the pandemic is over if there's no vaccine circulating around the world. You've already heard about how long it was to make it right, it will take a year or two to feel safe again walking with crowds. And if a country lifts its lockdown, second wave is waving. I read about a japan island experiencing the second wave because they lift the lockdown too early, I hope it won't happen to every country. It also scares me that a person can be reinfected with the virus, damn. It wasn't safe until a vaccine was made, so after months of lockdown, if we are out in the streets again, social distancing and face mask is still needed, no one would end the pandemic in a few months or even a year.

It feels good a lot who are into bitcoin learn it from a friend. I learn it from a friend too. It shows how important word of mouth is. I hope everyone would always try to talk about bitcoin to their friends if they have the chance. I'm into bitcoin because a friend tells me the story of how he was earning through bitcoin(trading). He also tells me the risk and its fine, I started to read about its risk because I'm that interested to earn too. I understand that it wasn't easy money, lost a few dollars, but its an opportunity! Let's be honest, we are interested in something if its an opportunity to earn.

Since then, I'm into bitcoin and still trying to learn something new about it, also trying to tell it to my other friends too. However, I've learn that bitcoin isn't only a mere opportunity to earn, its a great technology that can be used in the future. And I hope, people wouldn't see it as a scam, if you would tell someone about bitcoin too, don't forget about the risk and don't ever tell them that its an easy money. Its a great investment but it has risk, you won't earn in just a night.

Oh! finally you've said it. This is what I've been thinking too. Well, its good they wanted to be a good poster first before joining a campaign. However, I think there would only be few people who would start gambling first just to be accepted in a campaign. I hope they're not spending too much just to be in campaign, LOL.  I think a lot would try to join the campaign first then learn gambling later because of the discussions here.

And just like what you've said, I also agree not all who are part of a certain campaign really contributes well in the gambling section.

I'm a fan of esports, I'm into Csgo and Dota 2. At the same time, I still understand what you feel about other people still wanting the regular sports they've been watching because I missed it too. It is still different watching a real human playing. Really miss watching basketball and baseball.

And I agree its hard to understand the esports with high prize pool, specially to those who are not technologically advance gamblers. Still remember how hard it is for me to understand when I first play those games, the graphics and so many buttons to click just to play it good. They can play other easy games but I don't think it will fun as much as the sports they love in the first place.

Yup, its even a great achievement if they really made one in just 12-18 months. It really takes a lot of time for a vaccine to be created. The vaccine for the ebola virus was created in 5 years, and sad to say its the fastest-developed vaccine ever. I think what makes it hard is because the Corona virus is still mysterious in terms of how it affects our immune system. Have you heard about the news in South korea about those reinfected ones? Quite scary. I thought there's immunity after you get one. So its really takes time, its crucial to create a safe and effective one.

About the topic, employers would say that their employees are not their responsibility, however, isn't it best to show care to the people who work for them? They may not really gave everyone their full salary but its enough if they can do something for those employees who are really suffering. So after this pandemic, their employees would be able to go back to their work.

Same, feels good to know someone also miss the boat(don't get me wrong). Just a little too late to buy and I just woke with the btc price at around 8k-9k. The only btc investment I have now comes from the campaign. The market is now booming but I am still planning to buy, I think it will be alright as long as the money I used isn't for something else, I can hold it as long as I can and wait for the btc price to reach the expected price after halving. I hope it will.

But just like you've said, still waiting if it will still decline, and I won't miss it again. ahecks.

I would like people to be familiarized with Bitcoin. However, I also wanted to still choose what payment will be cheaper. Unfortunately, whenever I heard news like this, there's always a side saying that the shops are charging way higher payments. I wanted to see the good side of it but somehow people will see btc not as a choice if shops are charging unfair, because people will always choose whats convenient and fair.

I think there are sports gambler that can live without it, but still a lot of them are missing it right now. They are more familiar with that compared to esports. They may try esports betting but I think everyone will miss the sports they are watching ever since.

Instead of thinking about missing the sports betting. Isn't it better to see the sports as a whole, not just the betting side. I really missed watching the games. The stars, the athletic skills, the sportmanship. I just can't explain why it is more than just sports and betting. I think you can already understand me as a sports lover. And yeah, I agree with all the other posts, it will take some months or years for sports to be able to go back to normal, or continue with the new normal.

Oh, I think its effective, I do it too sometimes. Whenever I spent money to play, I always talk to myself. I train myself not too expect anything. If I win, its good! If I lose, then it will be okay too, I already accepted that it can come to that point. Its like mind conditioning, fully understanding the risk you are into. You already accepted the fact that gambling is winning and losing. I also avoid betting money that I really need, I just bet money that I can afford to lose.

So yeah, I can still sleep at night with that in mind. If there is a thing that makes me have difficulty in sleeping, it wouldn't be about the money I lost in gambling, cause I know from the very start what I've gotten into. Its easier to accept a lose in that way.

I'm kind of lost in it too. You can be part of a gambling campaign as long as you are qualified, a quality poster, and proven to comply with the requirements. You don't have to be a gambler. I am trying to understand where the OP is coming from. Maybe he wants to gamble in able to promote his campaign or to understand some discussions in the gambling sections in able for him to post quality posts? I'm not sure tho.

But his last statement can be dangerous, he is gambling continuously to be always part of the campaign, I hope he is not losing all the money he is earning from his campaign. And I hope he is not using all his other funds in gambling.

Uh, but I somehow know a person gamble just for fun. He just want to play, he wants the feeling of winning not because of the money, but the idea of winning itself. Its luck when he brought more home, but it is also alright if he lose all. He already had a limit when to stop. If you're asking why did he chose gambling? Why not other free entertainment? What would we do if he enjoys that specific game? And what would we do if he is more thrilled to play with such a risk.

People have different views in gambling. We may think that no one would really want to burn money without expecting a result but I assure you there are. He can go home smiling even if he just lose all his money for the day, its because he enjoys the process of betting, the excitement it brings. Its just that entertainment is somehow better with money involved with it.

I don't think we should really trust them, however I hope you can still help them understand why you find it false and dangerous. You've said its dangerous, so you should make them understand why it is not really true so others won't believe it too. Give them facts, research and valid arguments. I think you can also feel it if the account was a troll or just a person who always believes such things. So always choose to reply to those posts that you believe are just not well informed. Somehow connected to what @welsh said:


This is what I hate about some humans too. Their views and opinions are always dependent on a certain person they idolized. We've always seen this through fanatics of a certain politician. They will always believe what the politician say, even if it is really on the wrong side. It feels like those fanatics already forget what it really feels to have their own opinion.

This is also why "influencers" in the internet should be careful in spreading news too, because they have millions of subscribers who would've believe everything that they will say.

Vaccine will save us, a year or two they said. However the 60% immunity won't work as of now...

I am hoping this was true too but, uh, sad to say that there is still no evidences as of today that someone cannot be reinfected... I just read that 222 people in South Korea who have tested positive and fully recovers are now reinfected again with the virus. This is a problem specially with the creation of the Vaccine. They are really not sure why. So "Immunity passport" is not really the answer as of now. The WHO even says that countries should avoid creating certificates that someone is already immune to the virus because its not, there is still no evidence. There are still reinfection around the world. So yup, sorry to inform you but it was not yet the answer...


Coronavirus quandary: Some patients in S Korea get virus again

A good point. Some of the viewers may know about bitcoin already. However, a part still doesn't really know about it so I guess some will be informed for the first time. They may search about it on the internet and who knows they'll be interested in it. I found it still really helpful for the community because I watch series just like that. I searched for every terms, every jokes, etc that I don't really get. Specially when I really love the show.

I think it is a win. And we are talking about millions of people watching the series, it will reach a new generation in the future too. It isn't necessary to mean something, but it will be helpful in informing others that bitcoin exist.

I think I somehow get your point. You mean those people playing from the day until midnight, those who sacrificed their sleep just to gamble. I agree with you, it is a sign of addiction if one gamble for a whole day until midnight disregarding the responsibilities he should've done.  However, not all gambler playing until midnight is an addicted gambler. Maybe its just the available time for him to gamble and enjoy. Maybe he has a job and it is the only time he finds for playing. He can gamble at midnight and be a responsible and productive person again the next day.

This is what I've been thinking too. It is somehow a normal story from a gambler. Winning a huge amount of money then lose it by the end of the day. I think those gamblers are blinded by winning and greed. They think they can have more after winning so much. They are feeling it and once you are feeling it, it so much harder to stop. Those who can afford to stop while winning are those who can still think critically, they are the ones who still have control. This is one of the reasons why a lot of gamblers lose so much at the point they are betting money they didn't even own.

1. It helps me a lot while in quarantine. Workers were stuck in a no work no pay environment, while here we continuously earn just like nothing happened. We can trade, invest, and send money too. This is very helpful specially to those who have bills to pay even without work.
2. Been here a few years ago, aside from having a more convenient way of sending money(depending to who will I send the money). It help me in saving and investing money too. I can't really say how it changed my life but I am sure learning a lot about the technology.
3. I was encouraged by a friend who was already in the crypto community.
