The obvious answer is not a high price but a universal price so cheap its close to free.  That already occurs sometimes in capitalism where they want to promote a product but I think wanting that and demanding are two different things.  Forcing people to agree, to provide without a choice is unfortunately not the utopia it might sound like from a pure consumerist perspective.

The biggest thing people should be hearing with these kinds of suggestions is that force will be required, the flip side to idealism can be a nightmare in the demands to make it happen.  Imo its very unlikely to work because the detail isnt there and rules of arbitrage, flat prices isnt reflective of the complicated world we live in.

The post I saw was Tyson has been in daily training for many years not just for this fight but to maintain his general health and discipline especially as he has not been so perfect at times in his life. The training was important to keeping up with a good general regime of health rather then the opposite.  With boxers or any professional athlete the problem is that muscle reverts to fat if not used and a heavy weight boxer has so much muscle to turn into fat if not used, so apparently he has been training at a far higher standard then normal to not suffer that flaw.  Of course even more training is needed for a fight, thats something else.

I dont see a problem the markets are bullish or we'd have fallen in price back to 30k possibly.   That erratic BTC price movement is quite normal and now its not there to such a large degree of change its a bit boring.   BTC still works out as a volatile asset but I believe the volatility is lower then its been in previous cycles, the development ongoing is bringing in a variety of operators with different objectives.

  Now we have ETF trustees who just want to collect a certain of BTC and charge a daily percentage fee for holding those BTC in trust and giving a tradable price to anyone who wants it.  Something a bit different but not too radical and on top of those market changes is the protocol itself and its usage by different people, it wont always be the same every year but I dont see a decline or any deterioration personally.

Unless these last two months have been a giant flag for a bullish move higher, then 100k seems unlikely to me.  What probably happens like any good road, we hit roadworks and have to negotiate a whole load of debris and work required to be done for safe travel.   Its never simple in short, to only estimate a higher price is blue sky thinking right which isn't wrong but we have to take that perfect view context with all the alternate scenarios; some average of all perspectives is what is seen in flux described on a graph.

I reckon 100k tickets is about what's required for just the 1st step or rung on the ladder of possible winning.   If I were to play with like 20k or so its more like a fire and forget situation, if I win I'll surely know later but I dont have any expectations of winning.  If it at 100k ticket I didnt win then its an actual loss and I was hoping to win.

It is funny situation that people do win with just a few tickets but this is due to a multitude of entries similarly made.   Someone has to win it, individually and collectively the odds are different but the saying someone has to win isnt all wrong as collectively its true though each person is unlikely by themselves.

I still havent been ruled out of winning a Lambo though I did not have 4200 tickets but I was hoping for some freak result :p

I would include both if only as reserves on the team for the positive influence they might have on the younger less experienced members of the team.   I remember with Beckham his playing quite late into his thirties at the end of his career and eventually though not a player he was associated with the team for more training and support during a world cup.

  How useful are these roles is unknown but either way the core of the team will be newer players.  The threat of bringing on Messi for a short duration to perform a vital kick is surely worth something.

Yes 20 different bets he has time to learn before his legs hit the ground and then he must win or stop his attempts at gambling.  It might take longer then that for some people to find their feet and start betting and getting some wins on a game they like.   Its not really the amount bet, its the risk in the gamble and your result that tells you did I judge and play this right going forward.  Ideally always play for the win not the money by itself as that can mislead some.

I always think the open sports bets are possibly the most human of all betting, you know the sport you watched and played your whole life so this is your game.  The skill then is matching the odds available and recognizing does value exist here even while I retain some doubts is it worth a gamble on this risk, that is the skill part.

All that needs to be true from a stream is the game being played is the same game available to anyone.   I see no problem with watching a stream of gambling, decide if you want to watch or not and the decision is on you as an adult.  Why it became controversial is a mystery, theres a stream of a log burning on stream and thats been a classic broadcast going back decades and its perfectly harmless.  Do I support forest fires no, but people can burn a log if they feel like it and put it on steam and so to gambling.  I'd only dispute it as deceptive if the game odds were not true to life, if its a different game not available to the public in any way.

Awesome idea but only in theory.   Prices do not stay the same even in the same place but a different time, it always varies.  Price varies by whether you collect or want it delivered and so many other factors.  The universal price would ignore geography and alll kinds of factors that make up pricing.

This would require enforcement that is not really a positive, it would equate to a subsidy and would require payment from the people via government force to continue in operation.     The best attempt at this idea would be to give some foods tax free status as a bonus to their production vs normal luxury taxes on other items.  There some attempt at this in many countries and also books are sometimes given beneficial status on some kind for transport costs.    We cannot just force a singular price, it fails to pay the retailer, the logistics and even production cost according to market varies they all must be paid for.

Thats a military dictatorship, more of a hostage situation then what I would call a system of governance.  The way I would classify the terrority of North Korea is like a satellite nation of China with China also being a military dictatorship for its continuance.  In theory they worship at a different school of politics but ultimately the countries are occupied by an army holding a gun to its people on whether they contest the government or not.  I dont think they make it as far as communism or long words, its just shot vs shot. 

The cheat sheet for who wins will be similar to the oscars, look for the theme.  We have a few wars ongoing at present etc.  so a peace theme might easily gain a global consensus which will secure the majority of votes over just a normal song that is ok in a pop way.   I reckon this is how it will go down this year especially with so many possibilities, they'll want some united positive type themed song and on average it will collect the most votes.


Remote as Israel might seem from Europe, the troubles ongoing will be a part of this contest so some discussion around this is inevitably going to occur.  Hence I do think some peace type anthem wins or some similar theme.

4.8m views Hurricane.   I like it tbh so post if theres a better song -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJYn09tuPw4

Quite funny if people manage to judge gambling badly when equal or greater risk is being taken by banks or those in finance every day and that damage can be serious from larger amounts risked.  

Gambling if done right is just a game and you should not risk your overall financial stability on bets which can always go either way if you are being honest with yourself.  Do that much and play as a game everyday with limits on what is leisure money to spend and you will be superior to the bank manager with no shame at all applicable.

This topic title and the attitude that goes with it is totally reasonable but does make me wonder if the missing presumative positive could even lead to an ironic negative sell off.  Might just be short term but today Im watching the line to see how we end this week off.

We're below the 50 day average and this alone is never resistance but it is some indicator for caution.   We cannot be bullish or think that way while hesitating below the 50 day average, its a solid measure of medium term momentum and we are lacking at present.

The other point Im watching is totally simple, its the edges of the fish bowl we've swimming in circles within since Feb.  It looked good at first but Im bored now and worse still would be if the market itself lost patience and sold off from here.

  Failure to hold the 60k range and not recover quickly as we managed just week would put us back into the bad lands, outside this hospitable if restraining borders.

Slight chance of a good punch and somehow that's enough to get a win but it seems mighty unlikely overall.  The consistency is not there in a superior way to say Jake has the advantage overall, a bit luck who knows what can happen but thats a minor scenario.  If the fight is not straightforward and has a script then sure that's a huge chance of an erratic result but I don't think they'll risk literally setting it all up so I agree there is a chance of Jake winning but its less then 10% imo.

He hasnt got the advantage on any point of play not even the power with height and reach its not enough, Tyson has faced that disadvantage before.  That only leaves us one conclusion, poor health and some kind of points win awarded to Jake Paul.    If I judge Tyson has serious substance abuse problems either current or previous and its been serious enough that he'll never recover his technique to defend himself then that leads to a Jake Paul win fair and square but otherwise Tyson can and should win even at an older age.

Allow is a bad concept, children need to be prepared for normal events in life and gambles are a normal thing to encounter.  I dont see how you are better treating a children by pretending a risk does not exist then letting them deal without alone without any guidance first.   People have the false perspective they can control everything which is unfortunate because that is not life.

No need to give up normal levels of gambling, play when you feel like it and have time to do so.   Never overplay because it'll not do much good or be much fun in my experience.

Satisfying level would be just gambling as a game for fun, ideal is to find a game you like then the loss is less if any.

I think I'd think less without gambling and considering all odds etc.  Play nothing instead of a game and you are less capable surely so thats a loss.

Laundering is probably the main concern rather then anything else, all the sites mentioned are probably keen not to be seen as mixers and follow similar rules to avoid being used for any possible criminal activity.   To not do so would only cause more trouble then its worth, from what Ive read where asked by authorities they would provide information so as to avoid any unnecessary association with any illegal money movements etc.  

I agree on the main point that BTC is not classed as money but that might not be as relevant as it would seem; Ive even seen computer game items almost anything online that's exchangeable, any tradable tokens treated in a similar way.
  They are apprehensive about movements of value especially large amounts even if its not really a currency, its just some virtual token and games are usually centralized not related to decentralized blockchains  but digitally I see them treated similarly over many years.

That is the ultimate driver of prices, not speculation but the absence of any ability to speculate on asset prices.  This scenario can happen if a collapse occurs in any large market, its part of why the FED will always inflate the monetary base no matter what while trying to keep it somewhere moderate.

Only the older folk here  seriously know what a dire retraction feels like.    Interest rates can be 10% and governments can go broke, all of the ones holding far too much debt are on crutches right now pretending its fine.   They arent always ok even the seemingly powerful rich countries can actually fall over because gravity is greater then all of us.

  Economics isnt about politics and the latest funding squabble its about the natural dynamics larger then all of us, the 3 largest global currencies can fall over, this will half BTC price at least to begin with.

The other perspective to this is not rely on your own opinion of each asset you might hold but check you know the desire of your trading partner.

If you want to buy something from people who make a required product  or own it then you must exchange something of worth to them.  If China and India both value gold for many decades and into the future then gold is money quite easily and they may not want the alternatives you value.

I got 9936 and you were whiskers away from being in the same category as me.  I checked the number of free rolls and Im near 21k overall but I dont remember being too lucky, no biggest prize but just getting that many rolls free & going back some time years when BTC was low with the free roll base value similar but BTC nominal figure much higher I cant complain at all can I

  Anyone in BTC for a while has to be grateful to be in the right place at the right time, imo for reasons I dont fully understand BTC has always done far better then I expected when writing dismissive things in 2011 about BTC not having any backing etc..  Had I been fully bullish then I'd be a millionaire or equal now, not often that kind of statement in magnitude is fully probable or an exaggeration.


I noticed BTC caught a longer term uptrend on its recent lows, hence a quick recovery.  We resolve higher but so far as month end I think more time required.


Ignoring the amounts, the probability is quite slim hence its a valid win.  You or anyone else getting that is very lucky on that particular day, maybe its an omen
fag packet maths  1 in 714  or an eighth of a percent chances aprox.

Looking for similar odds, the odds of being struck by lightning in a lifetime—1 in 15,300
Dying by car accident was only 1 in 100
Odds of becoming a millionaire by any means is 1 in 16 but is not standard.    Imo its 1 in 1 we all make a million when the inflation hits :p
"chances of becoming an astronaut  1 in 1,525."

I think the lows recently caught an uptrend that extends over months going back to last year however the recent action has formed some negative action that will have to be digested before we can progress especially


The uptrend or diagonal line upwards here is roughly in line with the majority of the BTC price action since we registered lows early autumn last year.  Since that time the pace has been regularly positive, we could not have reached 70k aand held it so well if that were not roughly true as a spike up is very often returned backwards just as fast.

The uptrend should be stronger as the longer duration of the two.   We just have to see that fight play out and correctly confident to back the winner when it concludes.  We are below the 50 day average and we are just lying on the weekly average so its a fight still underway.
