Is Pack another token under Hedera chain? If so, then why would you want to use BNB, the native token of an independent blockchain, to Pack which is a native token of a wallet? You'll probably have a better picture if you compare is to Trust Wallet's TWT.

~ I've been wondering if there are people who simply play virtual games just for the fun of it with no interest in getting rewards in crypto that could be converted to cash.

When these projects advertise/promote, their main talking point is the ability to earn some cryptocurrencies. That is why I don't expect them to attract passionate gamers who truly enjoys the game. I personally would not waste time with these P2E just for the sake of fun. Maybe some kids, who do not ha a real concept of money, will do.

Really? Then we must be seeing things differently here. I see the ability to earn some cryptocurrency by playing games simply as the reward for being a passionate gamer. Just like in soccer for instance, the vibe incites predictions and fans & players can bet on different categories which serves as a motivation for the game. Like in Engines of Fury for instance, gamers who have earned some tokens $FURY would always want to support the game or platform development so that the tokens they accumulated can be valuable. Now CEX like Bitget and a few others have listed the token bringing more exposure to the game itself. Or what would you say about that?

By passionate gamers, I mean those who play not because of the rewards and I also include those who do not see the value of their time as part of that group. I see no point playing for two hours or more and earn some tokens with little value when I can do something else that would pay more.

Some might stay but most of those you mentioned that would always want to support the game would likely disappear or lay low when the market goes south.

Exchanges listing gaming tokens means nothing because they can always delist that when volume gets low. They are simply for business and would not really care about the game when it no longer helps with their interest.

Such a weird game also in game 1 of Wolves vs. Mavs with so many mistakes/turnovers on both sides. This is also the first time I've seen someone getting called for offensive goal tending.

Both Luka and ANT were having a bad night but Luka caught fire at the right moment.

How did your bet go? I lost mine.

Hindi ko pa naman naranasan sa iilang beses na paggamit ko ng service nila. Parang bangko lang yung ginawa sa'yo ah na kailangan may ilang araw na clearing Hindi kaya nagpalit sila ng system at nagdagdag ng security? Baka nag-conduct na din sila ng review sa possible origin ng funds bago nila i-credit sa wallet mo. Kung tingin nila galing sa mixer yan, siguro confiscate nila at temp. ban account mo.

Good win for the handicap bettors Let's hope bookies will give us attractive odds like that for the rest of the series.

For game 1, there are a lot of players that played good but it was Jrue Holiday was a huge surprise to me. Being a widely known defensive player, he wasn't expected to score that many.

~ but I've noticed for quite some time that when my bankroll is almost at the end I tend to bet a bit more aggressively when betting and my losses are increased.

I believe that's called chasing your losses. It's a common reaction among impatient gamblers but even seasoned players do this sometimes. The main difference is that the newbies usually bet beyond their bankroll while the veterans put all as last bet but it's still within their betting limit.

Should I make any changes to gambling when placing bets at the end of the bankroll?

It depends on your goal. If I'm to based it in your post, then you might as well go big one time and leave when you lose. I think playing slow won't really help you recover your losses.
 

I keep seeing this token shilled in a crypto group I am in but nah. It's highly speculative and I don't have time to be monitoring quick price movements. Sadly, even the founder of that group is also promoting this. I haven't seen anyone who criticized the promotion of this token but that's probably because they are already kicked out before anyone can read the comment.

For anyone wondering what the bill is all about:

Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act

This bill establishes a regulatory framework for digital assets.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) must regulate a digital asset as a commodity if the blockchain, or digital ledger, on which it runs is functional and decentralized. The bill classifies a blockchain as decentralized if, among other requirements, no person has unilateral authority to control the blockchain or its usage, and no issuer or affiliated person has control of 20% or more of the digital asset or the voting power of the digital asset. In addition, the bill provides the CFTC with exclusive regulatory authority over cash or spot markets for digital commodities.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) must regulate a digital asset as a security if its associated blockchain is functional but not decentralized. However, the bill establishes certain exceptions to SEC regulation for digital assets that limit annual sales, restrict nonaccredited investor access, and satisfy disclosure and compliance requirements. The bill also sets forth requirements for primary and secondary market transactions.

The CFTC and SEC must jointly issue rules to define terms and exempt dually registered exchanges from duplicative rules.

The bill excludes permitted stablecoins from CFTC and SEC regulation, except regarding anti-fraud authority and specified transactions on registered entities.

So two regulatory bodies are tasks to work on this and it depends on the type of blockchain. It doesn't look like there's going to be much of a problem passing this bill unless the CFTC and the SEC opposes and they have enough Senators that supports them.
