gambling with sats is REALLY stupid and against all Bitcoin ethos.
ofc people can do whatever they want with their sats, but encouraging others to gamble with their sats is really dangerous.
I was expecting something more good from you.
maybe in 50 years you will remember my words...
I do not want to disappoint you, Darth. But, I want to know why spending sats on Predyx is different than spending sats on SN.
The answer seems to be that Predyx is gambling. Okay: now my question is why is gambling bad?
I understand some people wreck there lives with it. But this is true for beer, too. And I don't think beer is bad.
reply
Many people have a completely irrational response to gambling as a recreational activity.
If I spend a fraction of what Darth spends on beer on gambling, he freaks out, even though I make more sats back than I wager. So, a recreational activity that generates sats is worse than every other recreational activity that purely costs sats.
It's completely incoherent.

When I drink 10 beers I do not do any harm on any other individual, only to me.
When you gamble (gambling is not "recreational") you are doing harm to others.
In some years ahead, when you will not have enough sats to buy food, you will remember my words, warning you not to gamble with your sats.
We are not the same.
Spend your sats wisely, only when is needed, for really what is need it.
Gambling is not a necessity. Gambling is a scam.
And we know that you are PAID by predyx to promote their scam. That is even worse, is prostitution!
reply
It would be just as easy to say that you'll remember my words when you're drunk in a ditch having spent all your sats.
People spend money to do things they enjoy. I spend less gambling (leaving aside what I earn back) than most people spend on their recreational activity of choice. There's no reason this would leave me impoverished before your drinking makes you broke.
We promoted Predyx in exactly the same way before they supported the show. It's no different than any other sponsorship we would consider, but like I said, many people are completely irrational when gambling comes up.

you bet? I have more sats than you can imagine... or even earn on your lovely predyx gambling site
On any gambling site, who "earn" is somebody's else losss... you are literally doing harm to somebody else.
reply
What you're calling a loss is no more of a loss than what you "lose" buying beer or what anyone else "loses" when they buy a book or a movie ticket.
It's the price of enjoying a recreational activity. How is this point so hard for people to get?
reply
gambling is not a life necessity.
Drinking beer is recreational and healthy.
You have lost any credibility by that announcement that you are paid by predyx btw
reply
Going to a movie is not a life necessity and beer is not the most cost efficient way to sustain life, but for some reason you don't go on unhinged rants about these things.
Each sat you earn you must think twice how, when, why you will spend it. IT IS SCARCE!
Gambling is a waste.
reply
Well, sure, but it might also be a waste to spend sats on some conversations on SN.
Additionally, it might be said that bitcoin wouldn't gave ever gotten going without things like Satoshi Dice getting people to play with it.
Gambling is often a waste. But I still feel like we are at a point where any platform that is lightning only and doing something with it that can't be done otherwise, is worth supporting.
reply
gambling should never be supported.
Why don't you repost a note where somebody is literally paying for groceries with sats?
gambling it's a sin and for more you insist in supporting it, more ridiculous is.
