I didn't know about stake.games, that helps me a lot because I was honestly using stake via VPN because my country doesn't allow me to access stake and I was feeling a bit risky by going to stake with VPN since if anything happened and stake asked for my KYC I would have to send them information that would be totally on another country and I was pretty sure that wouldn't be accepted and would be seen as cheating even though I was simply trying to play decently without any problems.

Moreover, I am using free VPN so I was afraid it would be same IP as someone else as well. Thanks to stake.games I will be using the website without any VPN and I have zero issues about "getting caught" anymore since I can share my KYC freely since I am actually where I say I am right now.

Affiliate changes individually and not all of them are the same. I do have a little over 100 affiliates total and not all of them are always active, some of them are more active than others, some of them are not active at all and quit, and some of them just come to life time to time as well. So all in all it doesn't matter how many affiliates you have, eventually you will reach to this level where there are three groups, one who does things all the time, one that is middle ground where they either don't do much but do some or do big but very rarely, and last group that does something for a while but than they leave and never come back.

Is this really up to date? I mean it looks like just-dice is still getting a lot of people gambling there, not that I doubt it but that website has been as old as time itself and they moved to claim YEARS ago and it looks like there is still a lot of people gambling there to this day.

I was expecting them to get diminishing numbers when they moved to clam and haven't checked ever since, I personally stopped playing there after the move so I was assuming there was a lot of people like me who quit gambling there after the move but looks like I am one of the rare ones who stopped. There are also a ton of websites that are new, none of them really cracked the top ten ever?

I think the changes are so quick but also it is not really depending on bitcoin all that much, everything changes very quickly these days because governments wants to stop something huge to happen which is inevitable in the long term but if you really stop the huge problem today and just do it in installments for months instead of just a horrible crash in one day, you are giving the companies a chance to fight it.

If you asked any company if they would prefer 1 million dollar debt today or 1000 dollars debt per day until it reaches 1.2 million dollars, they would take the second option most probably, that way you at least have a fighting chance to recover and get better instead of bankrupting.

I doubt it would be that low ever again honestly, but to be fair I wasn't even expecting the fall we had during early days of pandemic neither so what I say doesn't really hold too much power.

However we should realize that the only time in the past 2 years when price went under 4k, it took only 24 hours to recover from that level and go higher to 5k+ levels, and right now it is over 7k+ as well, so we can say that bitcoin price COULD drop but that doesn't mean it will stay low, it will just reach there for a while but people will not allow bitcoin to be at that price since everyone would love to buy cheap bitcoin, it was like on discount and people of course attacked it and bought more than any other time in recent memory to save up and sell later when it doubles.

People do not really care about their future as much as they think, they do huge investments and risk all their money because they believe if they can get it right just once they could actually make a lot of money and then their future will be pure bliss but what they are forgetting is the fact that if they risk all their money and end up losing, they are going to live a horrible future (at least until they recover).

Buying bitcoin with credit card is one of the examples of this, in USA you can do that with coinbase, buy bitcoin with credit card and if you do not have money in your card and go to debt because of it, there is really no point on continuing such a thing because you are getting money from one pocket and removing from the other one which doesn't make sense.

The biggest one and the best one I have ever seen is definitely ICO that doesn't lead to anywhere, literally nowhere, like from DAY 1 they tell people that it was a scam and they will not do anything about it and they will not continue with it. Of course they don't blatantly just say that they are scammers, they act as if they will continue with development and all but you know it, you see it, like you realize that nobody works on anything at all.

These guys literally spend thousands of dollars, maybe 100k+ of their own money to build an amazing white paper, an amazing road map, a great team, awesome blockchain with huge potential, like if they were to give it to me, and the money, I would make that coin into something. However what do they do? Just steal the money and never look back. Very interesting and very weird.

Well, that depends on what you want to do with the trading, if it is fiat to btc, if it is fiat to altcoin, if it is btc to altcoin, if it is leverage, if it is margin. I mean there are many methods of trading that you can do if you want to and all of them are very different from each other.

I would say binance is clearly the best trading platform, right now they are mainly doing usdt-btc-alts so right now if you want to deal with fiat you can't really use binance but if all you want is bitcoin to altcoin pairs then I would highly suggest binance, they are basically cornering the whole market nowadays, even with all other exchanges growing so big, binance just keeps on starting something new and new all the time to keep growing to gather more people to their website.

USA is still going worse and worse, thousands of people die every single day, Corona has killed more people in the past 1 month than any other war USA has fought and that says something considering USA stays alive thanks to wars. Even if they are perfectly healthy with no issue at all in 5 months, that would be September or so, bringing the league back that late would be suicide, what are they going to do about next years season if they bring the season back at September.

Just make it a 2 month thing, and then give a week break and start the new season all over again? How are they planning to do free agency, trade deadlines, drafts? All of that has to be taken care of very quickly. All in all cancelling this season without a champion is still by far the best option.

But even if you are loosing only what you would afford loosing still you need pay taxes and you need to fill how much you have spent on what, right? Also on a second thought I think anyone who gambles daily must maintain a small spreadsheet where they can just fill how much they loose daily/weekly and calculate how much they are loosing every month or year because while we feel like we are only loosing what we can afford loosing but sometimes when we total up the lost amounts, it makes us realize that it is not worth loosing so much just for fun.

But for gamblers like me who do it for fun, I don't see a need for making such sheets or calculating because I myself mostly gamble with bonus/faucet and sometimes with my own money when I am just too bored to do anything else.

True, although majority of the gamblers are still betting around with dice, roulette, plinko etc on casinos and there is nothing that can stop such people from gambling. Apart from shutdown I also feel that money you have in hand and banks is much more precious now because there will be a crisis as the economic structure is going to be broken quite significantly.

Anyone who is still gambling should re-consider their decision because the money you are burning might be of massive significance in the coming months an maybe years and you will have to regret a lot once you face that situation and realize how much you had lost. Maybe it is a warning for you, either ways it is just about perspective how you see it, because if you are positive this is a good chance to quit gambling once for all.

Look gambling is considered negative because there is no benefit anyone can gain but rather only negative effects are there like loss, frustration and drugs.

While you made a valid point that drugs and other addictions actually lead to gambling for most people but the vice versa is not completely wrong either because there are people who loose a lot of money and then take loans, loose everything they possibly could and then start getting in depression and there the drugs and addiction starts for alcohol and such.

On a positive side though online gambling is not as dangerous because there is no physical presence in the casino and hence there is no peer pressure because I had a friend who gambled way too much just because people around him in the casino (physical) were not stopping.

Honestly there are so many great esports things going on right now that I feel like I started gambling as much as I used to once again. Not going to lie for a while I didn't gambled at all, I tried offline games like dice and so forth but that didn't give me the feeling I want and stopped, so there was a period when I didn't really gambled.

But, nowadays from Fifa to NBA to racing to all other regular esports games, there are tons of them going around and I those are the ones I really wanted to gamble these days, still not the same feeling maybe but the feeling of starting something from fresh and learning it and gambling on it really gives me the fun I have been missing for a while. Not as cool as regular sports but at least better than not gambling on anything.

I agree that bounty hunters have absolutely nothing wrong about this problem, if a project is bad, just don't invest to it, but the bounty hunters are usually people from lower end countries who do need some money and these projects offer these people a good side income and sometimes even enough to be an income and that is why they do these bounties like crazy in packs in order to get something and maybe one of the projects will turn out to be something special and help their rent for a year, that is huge for bounty hunters.

Investors on the other hand are the people who have money on their hands, if you are getting a loan from a bank to invest to a new project, you must be a new kind of special person, normally investors are people who already have money and they should pick a good project, not just believe any bounty hunter.

Binance CEO is CZ and he is not taking over CMC if they buy it, I still think that deal will not go through and Binance will not buy it but even if they do, they will hire someone else to be the CEO because CMC is a huge company right now, we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars and not some small garage built thing anymore, which is why I think they need a new CEO of their own and not a person who will manage two companies all at once.

Maybe binance should go with the route google did, right now they have a new company called alphabet and that company owns google but owns all other companies that google normally owns as well. Binance could create a new company that owns binance and owns cmc and owns any other company they want to purchase in the future and CZ will be the CEO of that one.

I have never heard of the rule before as well, that looks like a rule that might have never been used before, I don't know if in the history of NBA season has ever ended before 1st of April, even during wars and such they continued so I doubt it has ever happened. However considering this is decades old rule, they could simply change it whenever they want as well, just because there is a rule saying something like that doesn't mean they have to follow it.

Adam Silver could come out tomorrow and say that they no longer have a rule like that and league will be cancelled and no championship will be rewarded to anyone and everyone would be forced to accept honestly. Plus, I doubt any team would want to win a championship like that, it would be basically humiliating to have a ring this way.

I agree with you on most part but look if I am being honest and let's talk about crypto trading and we all know how unpredictable it is so it is not completely wrong to compare gambling with day trading because recently we saw how a plus token scam took bitcoins to cleaners and similarly you expect in gambling that a particular event will occur but sometimes things go absolutely opposite.

I mean yes although with trading you can use skills and compare charts but trust me I have been into trading as well with crypto and it is not as easy as it might seem and I respect since you are a adviser and any statement you make is worth it but I am just sharing my own opinion that in certain areas gambling and trading are similar maybe only if someone is as experienced and skilled as you then they can make correct calls.

Happened many times with me when I am almost busted and I pick a high odds bet just in sort of frustration and that bets clicks right and I win and get back to some recovery so yeah happened with me too.

For me being an e-sports bettor I remember when I had a bet on fanatic and they were down by almost 2 games and then they came back massive which was bone chilling experience not just because I won but because they are my favorite team at times.

In proper sports I remember betting on Djokovic in the finals against Thiem and thought it would be a cakewalk over Thiem but we all know how strong Thiem proved to be and somehow Djokovic managed to win by getting his mind together in the last set, that was great experience for me.

This is probably true for all times more so right now. Think about it, bitcoin has always been an investment that eventually went back up, it always drops and we are in a drop right now and I get that people are scared right now, because of corona everyone is acting crazily and that is understandable, however that doesn't mean that it will never go up, do you really think that price will not go above 7k again? It definitely will.

It means 10%+ profit, where can you find 10%+ profit anywhere? Nowhere. That is why the best decision right now is to buy bitcoin and hold it, it is a great decision for 10 years ago, great for 5 years ago, great compared to last year and great now, its always a great idea to hodl as much as you can and buy as much as you can afford.

Yeah, that is why he said "close to reaching", it looks like the peak is around the corner now and in a week or so we will probably start to fall a bit and get better, in two weeks or so we will see significant changes to the numbers since this pandemic was exponential but the healing process is like that as well, more people who gets it and recovers means there are less people who will get it as well.

In a month we will probably see life going semi-normal, not exactly like how it used to be of course because this left a scar in our souls but we will see a little bit less rules about going outside and so forth during early may (probably). I still think Serie A is in big trouble though, there are still a decent number of games left and we are talking about all teams, so total of games is a lot and it will be during summer, so I don't know if they can comeback that late.
