It's true that the NBA schedule can be found, but because it's not a top priority for betting, it often gets overlooked.

It's true but people must know of another more important thing. Bitcoin value comes from its technical and operational things, without them how many bitcoins lost is no longer important and don't contribute anything considerable to Bitcoin value.

We can see it with altcoins, they are too much, from altcoins as Bitcoin forks to non Bitcoin fork altcoins, and their coins or tokens can be lost or burned in millions, hundred of millions but their values are zero or very low. It's because these shitcoins and tokens don't have things to make up their high values like Bitcoin does have.

I won't see it's a prank cause it's normal to change your idea about something when you find it useful. What's going on with Iran's economy should let anyone know the importance of Bitcoin and how well it could serve as a hedge during inflation, maybe that's why China has to crack down on their crypto bans.
 Surprisingly it's the developed nations that's taking Bitcoin more seriously, I keep wondering why developing countries are still left behind.I'm glad the regulations of crypto by the government of my county now favour citizens unlike before when you'll be scared of having crypto apps in your phone and cause you won't want to be harassed or arrested by the authorities.

Hardship has always been a global problem. We have so many of this things, that causes hardship globally, number one of it is unemployment, you can see a graduate coming out of school, hoping to get a job in any area of his/her specialty but, probably getting disappointed and then start looking for another alternative on how to survive. Secondly, homeless you see some people living in the street without no hope of living in a better environment, and this people beg for arms every blessed day just to earn a living.

So it’s very normal for gamblers to experience all of those little discouragement, it shouldn’t be a big deal.. As long as we follow our feelings and try as much as possible now to push ourselves, when we don’t feel like gambling that day..

It almost feels like crypto is no longer operating in its own space, but becoming part of the broader financial system.

So here’s what I’m thinking: This either a sign of maturity for crypto, or is it losing some of the independence it was originally built for!

That's On Periodt!
Am I ahead of myself, Who knows? Pheeew!

I do hear people say that China doesn't give a fuck about Bitcoin cause their government do place bans on it and I laugh cause if they don't care they won't be mining seriously or be one of the biggest holders, I wonder why anyone would think that with how advanced China was gone in tech they won't consider Bitcoin.
 As you can see they're putting themselves in a better position to benefit from Bitcoin in the future and are now teaching students to have knowledge about it, according to your post. That's a welcome development and learning about Bitcoin at a younger age is the best thing those kids can do for themselves

Lost bitcoins are donations to everyone who have bitcoins as it reduces actual circulating supply and increase value of each bitcoins remained in circulation.

Nothing can justify the actions of your friend abr my reason for saying that is because he was acting too desperate and entitled. Evem though he won the bet based on the suggestion he have but that doesn't mean that he was the one thay took the risk. There was no agreement whatsoever that they made so it was childish for him to ask for a commission. knowing that he gave you tips that made you win it would be easy for you to show appreciation. he reacted the same way that i would have. on his part, this is a childish act.
