Trust me, they are gambling. I can say this because of the fact that a lot of people are still carefree about this situation. Not all of the countries have it bad, there are still those countries that are still not affected and even some countries are already affected, there are still those physical gambling that is happening especially online gambling or betting since most of the people nowadays are at their houses containing themselves to avoid the virus.

Sadly, I can't really do this on casinos since all of the casinos and other places like malls, and even some restaurants are closed because of the pandemic that is happening. I don't know if the governments in your country already ban casinos or other places because of the pandemic but it is for the good of the people. Though it is really boring working at home, we can't really do anything about it.

It's been said that coronavirus has no effect on the bitcoin price since it is not directly connected to bitcoin or any other crypto currencies. It may rise or not but all we need to do is hold for now and wait for the halving to come. I think that is the only thing we are waiting for the price to increase.

The bitcoin price rose after halving, it did last year and I think it might do its thing this year too. Halving's purpose is already stated so I don't think we should even say that it will not succeed since the main purpose of it is the answer here.

I am certain that it is China. They are the origin of the virus and a lot of people died in the country, They should also be blamed since instead of containing the people to avoid the pandemic, they did not do it. They are one of the biggest markets and had a lot of exports to other countries but with the lockdown, they can't export goods to other countries. Other countries are affected that are related to China's not able to trade or export goods like Japan.

Negative effects on the world economy are inevitable in this pandemic. Every country is affected and if we will be suggesting something about it, I think the best one is to follow the rules on quarantine to avoid being a casualty. More victims mean more casualty, more casualty means negative effect on the economy. And obviously it will not just stop at you if you are not taking care of yourself and following the instructions to be safe.

Well, I feel you, bro. I am also a player and I started at Dota All-stars. It is announced that the 4th major and minor tournaments of the DPC season will be canceled. That just means we are so close to being at The International now. Still, there is a major which is the LA Major and it was delayed because of the pandemic. Hope this stops at the end of April so we can start grinding for our Compendium after that. Really excited about the new rewards, items, sets and chat wheels for that. I hope they don't remove "Lakad Matatag" and "Ceeeeeebbb!" chat wheel in there.

Well, because it is gambling. Ever know the phrase "path of least resistance"? Gambling is a path of least resistance for others since you can earn a lot of money in minutes just by betting into something. You are risking a lot of things and it will give you a good profit quickly or the opposite. Some people take it as an opportunity and not a risk that is why a lot of people lose because they thought that gambling is the answer, they don't know it is the problem.

Well, it is really sad. Not just Dota2 but other esports as well. For now, CSGO still has its ESL pro league 11 so I could still bet on that, just lost my bet I put in Complexity. Dota 2 on the other hand just finished their Summit 12 where Fnatic smashed OG. Seed, sadly I bet on OG seed. Further tournaments, as far as I know, are cancelled or postponed, so sad.

Well, coronavirus did affect the market and there are a lot of people that are so shocked by the price change. I am used to these kinds of changes it is just really surprising it fell that low but still I see this as an opportunity to invest again and not sell my crypto currencies. If I did that, that just means that I admit losing my money. Instead of doing that, keep on holding; it will not disappoint you.

Well, for now, they are. In this time of the pandemic, more and more transactions will be happening online and people would realize that they also need these kinds of methods to pay online. For now, they will stick to popular mobile payments and there are also applications like Paypal and Paymaya and in the future, it would be crypto currencies.

We've been in that stage for a long time now, it's been more than 10 years. We are not in that early adoption, we are in that stage where we need to stand for it. There are a lot of countries that banned bitcoin and now they are legalizing it for a reason. Volatility is one of the main reasons why people don't want to use it so we just use local exchanges to convert our btcs and use it.

I think bitcoin being a store of value is still debatable despite its volatility. If we will be tracking the price changes over the years, you can still see that people will be having good profits despite the huge dumps. Now that the price is lower, people might take advantage of it so I don't think it will fall further to $3K. Right now, it is getting stable at $5K and then the halving is getting close so I think that would be the lowest this year.

No. The school will be producing digital diplomas, in other words, intangible diplomas to be given or to be distributed with the help of the blockchain technology. With the coronavirus spreading like a wildfire, they can't afford those students to be affected by the virus just by attending their graduation. A meme was even made in our country where students who will graduate are sending their photos in a group chat with their graduation attire.


This is really sad, not just because they will not be able to get their diplomas physically but because they will not be enjoying the graduation that you could only experience in a while. I just hope that this will be only applicable while this pandemic is around and I hope this ends immediately.

Not just Ana but Jerax already called his retirement. Ceb on the other hand move to being coach again and giving way to new OG lineup. This is really amazing. 3 midlaners in OG, as I said they're like wanting to dominate each lane and supports do the roaming. It is really early for this thread but it is good since, with the pandemic on the run, we don't know what might happen. These pro players go from country to country, they are at risk with the tournaments happening.

They are the defending champion, obviously, people would be looking at them right now how would they defend their title with a different lineup. I love Saksa's gameplay since it really fits OG's strat, being aggressive. And with these laners they have, they can leave one hero at the lane and dominate other lanes with the supports they have. Ana will not be back at TI10 so I know some fans are disappointed about it. Right now, I will be looking at TNC since they won back to back major titles and they are the one for sure being the invited team. Nigma will be also going with revenge on the development they had after TI9. PSGLGD also made their changes with the lineup so they are also to look out too. Other teams? Maybe EG, VG and Team Secret but I am not really expecting that much.

Despite the importance of it, a lot of people don't have it. Most people these days are not like in the past where they have time to reflect what they've done, usually, they just do things they wanted to do, things they know they will have fun. Depressed, sad, tired, uncontented are the common reasons why they are gambling and still, they are not aware that they are being sucked in with gambling and they can't get out. I am not saying that all of them are like that but we should be really careful.

People would be panic selling, I would panic buying at these times. Never seen bitcoin's price this low since last year. Well, time to reinvest boys, this chance doesn't come that often.

If that is the case then what is the connection of the pandemic and the price of bitcoin? The price fell last week because of an exchange being hacked as far as I know. It has nothing to do with the pandemic that is happening. It just a coincidence that the price pump and price dump happened at that point.

Is this really true? Someone posted here and I can't find it now that this is still being talked by the government of India. In terms of its future, I think it would be good since India is one of those countries that supports Mobile payment. With bitcoin, I think India would love using it.


We can't really say that this pandemic is affecting bitcoin. There are a lot of other reasons why the price fell and that is not because of it.
