That is the thing. People are surely focussing to gather things and the food they needed for months of quarantine in their houses. I don't think they would even think of their gambling activities right now. I can say that because of the pandemic, casinos and other gambling places are closed and people here don't really think of gambling but thinking how long will be the quarantine to last.
Also they will focus to find side income, in the quarantine day there will be some people who will not have an income especially for day laborer, they didn't have any income so as they will look for first a place to be use as an income and gambling is not suitable to be choosen. Gambling is more prefere for those who have intention to wasting their money, you just need at least 5% to win when you play gambling. So there is no choice for those people, they need side income and forgot gambling for a while.

I don't think they should focus on finding a side income right now since the government is finding a way to give their salaries to them or the 13th-month pay to them so they can rest easy in their houses. The problem here is those people that are unemployed and those people that are homeless. If gambling is your problem with this pandemic, you should consider yourself lucky.

If you are just relying on governments help then there's nothing gonna happen to you and imagine how big the numbers of family they needed to help and what if when your turn come and there's nothing left due to lack of supply? you will strive to hunger in that matters that's why you need to find a side job and if you are in big trouble interms on financially better not to gamble at this moment since we don't know on when this pandemic end and it will affect us in long term if this will not be controlled or totally eliminated.

Well, I am not but they are. What can someone possibly do in a place specifically a barracks for a side job? They can't even eat well, their only entertainment is themselves in there and they are stuck there for weeks. Without the early announcement of the government of releasing the 13th-month pay they should be starving in there by now, with that they can stay longer there. You may be sitting in your house comfortably right now but I know a lot of people that are stuck in a place where they have almost nothing but themselves. Their only source of food is their salary they are saving, a pit of water, luckily with fish in it and they are sharing it with others. Just imagine how bad it is if you will still sell those fish so you could just earn money there.

My thoughts are that sports bettor will most likely to play casino games such as dice, blackjack and other casino games that a casino site have. Maybe some will stay at home for a while but those who urge to gamble don't have a choice but to gamble on an online casino.

Well, they are stuck in those. They don't really have a choice if they really wanted to gamble but I think most of them are not really gambling but doing all of their time in their houses sleeping, watching TV, maybe playing online games, rewatching or watching movies and maybe having a bond with their family in their houses now.

Since every body here is in the opinion that China does not need any help, I think we should then start concentrating on poor countries like Africa. If any one knows how to contribute to the cause either through fiat or crypto please do share it here.

This would be great if we've done it earlier. Right now, we can't really do that since we are now focussed on the pandemic at hand. I don't know why are you pushing it right now but the timing is just not right. If you still want to do it though, you can just google search how to do it and where to send it. If you are having doubts, you could just ask people about it here in the forum. We are talking about bitcoin here so there are a lot of possibilities that that site we are dealing with scams here.
1285  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do Holders actually bought BTC during the crash? on: March 29, 2020, 12:02:22 AM
It is common right?because Hodlers always looking for this kind of opportunity to add more and more amount whenever there is a dumping happenings as the magic word of"Buy Low Sell High".but of course those true Hodlers and not those faker that pretent to be holding but when market starts to fall fown?they are the first one to sell their Holdings lol.

I think they are stupid, that's all.

Even a simple holder, someone that doesn't have that much Bitcoin will never be selling it that easily. Why would you do that? You are just making it worse. Instead of selling, you could just hold and wait for a good time to sell. If you can reinvest, you can buy again at that price, the fact that the price is at $6K right now means it will never stay that low.

I do understand that but we can't just call them stupid because of that. You do realize that we are in a pandemic right now and losing your investment or not, if you really need that money, then it is up to you whether you sell it or not. It is a loss when you sell it but if you really needed it then go for it, you can't just save that if you don't have money to buy food and other essentials for weeks of quarantine.
1286  Economy / Economics / Re: Can we agree BTC is not a store of value? on: March 28, 2020, 11:09:19 PM
Listen to this podcast.
https://unconfirmed.libsyn.com/coronavirus-how-it-will-impact-bitcoin-and-the-halving-ep116
However much you want it to be, BTC is NOT a store of value.  It has been a few years since $20K and even now, each peak is smaller than the previous peak.  Probably be $3K by the end of the week.

I think BTC will go down again below if holder start dumping but for now safe zone 5200$ if it go below than it will go down 3k$ for sure and now the europian country is affected and I think many people from those countries hold a high number of BTC so we need to prepare for another dump and we might not see this year 10k$ but crypto is really unstable and no one know which way it will go for sure let's hope best for now.

Well I don' think they would dump bitcoin that quickly. Stocks are the one directly affected by this pandemic and I am not surprised if some investors there bought bitcoin. Also, we've already seen the price of bitcoin reaching $10K this year, but then again it dumped back to $4K and now jumped to $6K, that's volatility for you. The price may dump but I don't see it lasting since people would just take those dumps for granted.
1287  Economy / Economics / Re: a disease or a virus or is there business in it? on: March 28, 2020, 10:00:49 PM
Not sure of having another purpose in this case because even many businesses are temporarily closed due to the corona pandemic, an illness is an unexpected event to grow behind a business, so if it is related to the disease then it seems unlikely there is another purpose or purpose behind all this or other diseases.
Some governments are going to make profits from thie economic crashes that is why conspiracies like bio war between countries started to roll out over social media.Or even it could be created by someone who holds huge amount of stocks so he sold everything before the crash and can buy the same amount now for half or even less cheaper than the original prices.

I think these is just a conspiracy that people think with a lot of time in their hands right now since they are quarantined in their houses. At first I thought this could be a scheme of someone but right now, I don't know. China are having a hard time containing the virus as people are being tested positive while they are primarily negative at first tests. This is crazy.
1288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is like day trading ? on: March 28, 2020, 09:01:28 PM
Day trading activity is unmatched by gambling. In a day of trading you have the opportunity to win and lose according to the strategy used. Gambling allows you to win randomly. Only you choose the best activity that suits you and improve your skills and above all act with caution.

Day Trading and gambling give you two choices, obviously that is winning and losing and that do not depend on the strategy used since the price chart will be the one telling the price changes and not your strategy. As gambling can ruin your balance, day trading is better since you will jsut lost some profit based on the price changes but not all of it.
Day trading is a better option than gambling in many ways and sensible people prefer risking their money in day trading than on gambling all the time. Gambling shall be done off and on that too without a large amount of money. Day trading never makes you bankrupt but this can easily happen in the case of former.

It can make you bankrupt, especially for those people that don't know what they are doing. I did say that it can lose you some profit but if that continuously happen then you obviouslt can go bankrupt. The only component day trading has that is better than gambling is luck which almost all of the games in gambling has.
1289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: COVID-19 and its effect in Gambling World on: March 28, 2020, 05:05:56 PM
The effects of covid-19 will actually have positive impact on the gambling platforms and will eventually increase her revenue generation this trying times on covid-19.

This needs to be confirm, I haven't read an article yet stating the same thing.

What we are doing now is just speculating that since physical casinos are close, they are now shifting to online casinos, but what about their source of income, if its affected then eventually they have will not gamble as there is a shortage of income or funds.

That is the thing. People are surely focussing to gather things and the food they needed for months of quarantine in their houses. I don't think they would even think of their gambling activities right now. I can say that because of the pandemic, casinos and other gambling places are closed and people here don't really think of gambling but thinking how long will be the quarantine to last.
1290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are you doing now? on: March 28, 2020, 04:19:55 PM
Almost all the sports have been postponed. There is no matches left for betting on sports. What are gamblers(sports) doing exactly now? I know it is very boring days. Locked down in home, no matches to gamble. Are you switching to other casino?

You said it. Though there are a lot of times to gamble or bet, there is nothing to really bet right now as you said, almost all of the sports are postponed. Right now I did some bets on esports particularly csgo. I don't know if this count but Mobile Legends has its guessing game where you can bet on a team using a guessing coin. Not really a fan of ML but I am playing that game now because of that.
1291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sign of improvement to the market price of the Bitcoin. on: March 28, 2020, 03:39:59 PM
I honestly believe people are pulling from the stock market and going into crypto right now. It is actually a more stable investment today.

We all know it is not stable since we just went from the big dump that happened and now, just after some days we are at $6K. The stock market is affected by the pandemic that is happening right now, it is also said that the stock market in our country is closed and that also created a negative big impact for us. I doubt that people in the stock market bought bitcoin that made it recover, I think it is the holders that bought bitcoin at that dump.
1292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can porn sites make bitcoin more popular or will it brings negative effects? on: March 28, 2020, 03:15:39 PM
As much as I hate to admit,  there actually gonna be a positive effect on crypto market if porn sites use Bitcoin as payments, Men will give anything to watch high quality porn,  as the number of porn viewers increase by the day..

This depends, to be honest. We have different tastes when it comes to things like this and not all of the videos, genres, and porn actresses that I love to watch would be the same with the others. There are a lot of high-quality porn you can watch online without a premium account though I am not saying that this will not work out, it is just that it depends on how well that porn site will attract men and women to buy premium.
1293  Economy / Economics / Re: If bitcoin is made for times like these why is everyone selling at a time like.. on: March 28, 2020, 02:35:37 PM
Not everyone sells the bitcoin they have. Including I still hold bitcoin that I have even though the market is down dramatically.
Those who sell bitcoin when the market goes down, just panic. But this did not last long, because at this time the market began
recovered and bitcoin prices rise again.

People should really look at those dumps as an opportunity, a chance to reinvest on bitcoin or maybe other crypto currencies since they might not see that in the long run. With a lot of holders and investors of bitcoin, they would not just let that opportunity pass by without reinvesting or buying again since it will just go back, look at what happened with the recent big dump.
1294  Economy / Economics / Re: How many people have been panic selling? I didn't. on: March 28, 2020, 02:15:53 PM
It's the whales with stock portfolios, they have been raising liquidity by selling cryptos. That's where the big drop came from.

Well, I think they can manipulate the movement of price of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies but I don't think they are the reason for the sudden price dump this week. It is already said that the scammers of Plustoken are now moving the bitcoins they've scammed and put it to mixers causing the big dump that happened.
1295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble right after coronavirus outbreaks? on: March 28, 2020, 12:51:09 PM
I will still wait for a longer time since we aren't sure if it's still safe. I will also confirm of the casino already have disinfect their places 'cause maybe there are viruses living there, it' s not safe anymore. Gonna wait for the government to announce that our country is a COVID19 free country, if not i'll still lockdown myself in the house.
Most of people will be infected before the end of the outbreak, so I don't think many people will care about that because they will be immune to the coronavirus.
In fact only people who haven't been ill, will still be scared of that.  Tongue
Agree with you, but there are some people who are affected with the Corona virus at the age of 30, I hope this virus is mostly effected based on the human to human connection. It is taking some time to cure this virus in the meantime, many of them are losing their lives due to because of their immunity levels.

People should really avoid going to places where are a lot of people gather since that would obviously make the transfer of the virus so easy adding more casualties and making the pandemic harder to contain. It would really take a lot of time before this pandemic ends, for the mean time, let's homd our horses to gambke outside and going to places prone to the virus.
1296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Betting Double After Losing is Really a Good Decision? on: March 28, 2020, 11:58:58 AM
In short, is the martingale strategy in betting in such gambling games such as roulette and dice do really is effective strategy? For example, what if you are winning, and every time you win, you double your bets, and basically apply the martingale strategy, which is to double your bet when you lose.

Would that make a huge impact to your funds? I haven't tried it so far, but for me, I don't that is really effective as if we lose, we aren't really going to win right after, because there is still a possibility of losing once again.

To be honest, no. As you use this strategy for a long time, you will be quite determined to get back your losses and take profits. Another thing is that this kind of strategy is so stressful to your money since the more you lose, the higher your bets will be and you never know how losing streaks will hit you. It is effective to some that modified it, but in case, it is not that good since I don't have that good money to start with.
1297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: E-gambling on: March 28, 2020, 11:32:42 AM
Some people might not know these sites but I think you don't need to post this since a lot of gamblers here already know where to go. Another thing is that there are a lot of signature campaigns here on gambling sites, people could just click on it.
I don't think so. Maybe those ordinary people or person that are not playing or gambling, maybe they don't know that but for those who are betting and gambling daily or those gamblers they probably known that for sure because if you are a gambler you must know every gambling or any gambling that may helps you to earn profit or money.

How would someone know a lot of gambling sites would earn profit or money? If that is the case there are a lot of people here that already earned a fortune with that, to be honest. It is not that I don't like knowing new gambling sites but I don't really like playing to other gambling sites that I am used to unless it is trustworthy and already built its reputation in the long run.
1298  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do Holders actually bought BTC during the crash? on: March 28, 2020, 01:11:52 AM
Let's hope this year's halve will drive the price up

Well, it did affect the price of Bitcoin positively in the past years and people are looking forward to it this upcoming month. We are not expecting a big price increase or a pump but just a good push to start the bullish market that everyone is waiting for a while and for those people that missed the recent 5-digit price.
1299  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and illegal activities on: March 27, 2020, 07:38:01 PM
I think if we are actually looking at a cryptocurrency that is used for illegal activities then i think privacy coins are the ones that used mostly on the darkweb. Coins like DASH and Monero are used mostly.

I think bitcoin is motly used too in the darkweb. Despite the not-totaly-anonimity of bitcoin, it is still used in the darkweb, in fact a lot of criminals selling illegal drugs in there is caught and the bitcoins used were taken from them. Though, these totaly anonymous coins are also used too.
1300  Economy / Economics / Re: Coronavirus is very harmful to fiat currencies, not bitcoin on: March 27, 2020, 05:18:22 PM
Bitcoin is online base currency I hope no any effect bitcoin price this corona virus only effective physical currency
It was about bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies that the coronavirus had the most direct impact when the price fell from 10,000 to 4,500, now we are winning back, but we have not won back even half the fall, and most likely we will not win back to halving.

I don't think so. Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are not directly affected by the pandemic that is happening. It is already happening and the price even reached $10K, it just dived or dumped because of the PlusToken scam that happened the past year. Right now they are dumping the bitcoins they scammed to mixers the reason price is falling.
