    Decide one day I can get a job in the military and I wanna go see war and shoot up some enemies.. That sounds cool!!!

    You get their in the middle east and are on the front line, bullets flying over your head, could die at any moment, it's hot and you're tired and sweaty but have been trained to move forward and confront the enemy.. You see your best bud in your infantry catch a round in the face and his head gets blown apart.. Your firing on the enemy now and really killing people.. That's war.. It's not easy..

    You come back home a different person and have PTSD now.. That's real.. You now have Nightmares, troubled sleep, jumpy as shiit with loud noises, you have visions of dead people next to you that you were friends with, etc. That's PTSD!!

    It weighs on the young mind and it begins to break you, your innocence is lost now.. We are all human..

    And how about the men that seen some real wars between 40-70.Where was all this BS when they returned? Most use it as a crutch to get out early and Veg out on anti-depressants all day while still playing hose video games you speak of while still collecting a paycheck.

    Online Sportsbooks have become basically Elite
    bankers overnight using digital currency........

    They're playing with house money..

    The player is an endless windfall.....

    volatile digital currency?

    Sportsbooks love it as they profit from both sides..

    Who loses when the market plunges from day to day...

    The player...

    99% of the players did not profit/win when they used
    the good ole steady US dollar.......

    The players who use digital currencies end up bleeding
    out from both sides of their asshole.........

    The story out of the UK seems a tad exaggerated. I don't believe the US Dollar is in any jeopardy. If you do enjoy crypto.... it seems like Bitcoin is like the "gold bar" to a degree. Bitcoin seems universal.... and doesn't have to rely with one exclusive country or government.

    I think that's why Bitcoin does have a major advantage.

    Yup, and this may be the reason we could never do crypto or turn socialists politically. The money today isn't backed by anything other than the GDP of the Nation (faith and credit). Any decline in discretionary income or business exports and the money becomes worthless. (See Venezuela).

    I'm not sure how a Gov't would back cryptocurrencies if they are unable to control the supply (crypto being a zero sum concept to retain its value)

    Cash gonna be hard to replace at auctions............

    You can't carry Bitcoin to a Barrett Jackson or Mecum auto auction
    as it is basically cash only up to 7 figures per purchase....

    All auctions across the board of anything and everything for sell works this way ...

    The same applies for trade shows as well......


    Some say you can use a Cashier's check,,,,,

    HOWEVER sellers beware>>>>>

    Whoever becomes a victim of Cashier's check fraud
    will never accept a cashier's check as payment again
    unless they're insured for it...

    Whenever you accept a cashier's check from a buyer
    without checking it's authenticity the check will clear
    right then and there alright,but if the check is fraudulent,
    you're fukked because your bank uses their own funds (not the buyer's)
    which guarantees the funds to be immediately available
    with your own ass on the line...

    But if and when your bank discovers that the check is a fraudulent,
    (often a few weeks after the deposit), they'll take the money out of your
    account as you'll beheld responsible for all moneys withdrawn from
    your account....
