So you are saying I'm allowed to continue the Degens' Meetup series.
TBH I forever knew that Degen as a word has a very lowly meaning having moral standards that have fallen to a very low level but somehow it fits as a slang in a positive way for the prediction markets.
I also believe a little bit of fun is necessary because if you extract all fun out of anything, it just doesn't survive or becomes completely dull.
Unless we start leading someone down a ruinous financial path, I'm going to stick with the ironic "degen" language.

This is very righteous explanation of the word, thanks.
BTW, what is "leading someone down a ruinous path"?
I think it means luring someone to put the amount of sats they can't afford to lose. Am I right?
reply
Yeah, we're all goofing around with fairly small affordable amounts of money.
If someone started hanging out with us, but they were YOLO'ing millions of sats at a time and losing a lot, it would put a damper on my enjoyment.

But what if they won?

I’m just kidding. I understand your point and concur

Relief, I guess. Gambling actually does make me uncomfortable but I can rationalize my way to thinking I'm doing something different.

Did you bet or put a buck on the line playing any sport in your childhood? I and my friends used to gather a few bucks out of our pocket money then play against a team that put the same amount. And the winner would get all the money. Those were like max a few cents but learnt us to be competitive.
It was my last betting experience before I tried Freebitcoin after seeing your RBOA post and now on predyx..
Yes, for me it's like adding some extra layer of excitement to my love for sports, nothing else.
Yes, stacking a few extra sats on the way makes the joy double.
