Betting with sats (true scarcity) it means you have no idea how valuable are those sats. Throwing them into stupid bets that add NO VALUE whatsoever shows how dumb you are about your future. Sats must be spent only on things that really matter in your life. If you consider that a stupid bet for something meaningful is important, then you are an idiot that don't deserve to have bitcoin.

When the world becomes orange pilled, these things will be normal

No will not. When is about to spend your sats you will think twice because earning them will be damn difficult.

YOU WILL ALL REMEMBER MY WORDS (because all of you were just shitcoining until now and ignored Bitcoin at all, meanwhile I was in Bitcoinlandia for a loooong time and I've seen a lot of things).

But how is throwing them into buying drugs, stolen credit card info, or fake IDs okay? To be honest, that's happening more than these small scale betting activities. I'm not into gambling or support it, as I can't afford to lose anything that's beyond my control.

Thanks, this is the best answer, but people also don't need drugs, stolen credit card details, etc., and that shouldn't be tolerate in the name of free markets. That was what I was asking about.

I'm surely dumbest, but if I don't ask questions, I feel even dumber.

For some people those are needed and can bring some value for them. Somebody that buys drugs with sats maybe they will sell them for food or energy. Somebody that buys a stolen credit card is an idiot anyways. Those are the worst examples. But think again, a bet will bring value for you? No.

A bet will bring value for you? No.

Absolutely not. But there are also other things going on in the free market that bring no value as well.

Somebody that buys drugs with sats may sell them for food or energy.

Yes, they do, but the majority don't; people (even teens) are dying for it, forced to buy because of deadly addiction, just like the government forces people.

I got my answer, thanks. My point was that there is no point in throwing tantrums about people. You can't control people; it's their money, and they'll do what they want in a free market. There are free people as well—some might trade human body parts, some might trade a living human, some trade drugs, some donate to FOSS projects, some buy stolen credit cards, some might bet and gamble, and some purchase Mullvad VPN subscriptions, while others donate to WikiLeaks, etc. It's all part of the free market.

So, there isn't any point in tolerating one thing while condemning another. Sats are scarce, but the free market doesn't care, and I don't think it ever will. There's no point in being angry and damaging your health over this because no one can control this big game. You have to either tolerate it or ignore it.

I could have asked this question to anyone, and some people I'm following on Nostr who are Bitcoin maxis as well, but I looked to you first because you have something worth listening to and aren't just spreading propaganda. Sure, agreeing and disagreeing happens; they are also part of free emotions. Thanks for your time and effort

Is "Pay to post" remember? I pay to comment and spread my warnings on SN. My comments bring me value because with my writings I am teaching others and could make a better world. This is real education not bullshit propaganda for betting.
