Ask NOSTR:
Is it moral to bet with sats for US elections?
Discussion
Sure, why not? The elected president will bet with our lives and it won't matter 😉
thanks
I don't see a problem with it.
Yes, everyone fucks their money the way they want, you're not scamming anyone.
You realize that by betting on any elections you are practically:
- push the choice on one side or another
- you manipulate the people with your choice
- you spend sats on meaningless elections instead on things that really matter, for you and for others
I don't believe morality applies to this circumstance. But morality is entirely subjective, so someone else's opinion would be equally valid.
we are not talking about opinions here.
We are talking about is if is mortal or not to use your sats to bet or influence the results of an election with your sats.
What is morality for you?
We are talking about opinions because you're asking people for their opinion on whether or not it's moral for someone to bet on the outcome of an election using sats.
I don't believe morality is a relevant factor, so in my view the question is misguided. But as I said, morality is entirely subjective, and so there is no objectively correct answer.
To me, morality the subjective framework we all have that defines right and wrong.

No.
The result of elections is already known: the government always wins.
Betting on which politician takes office is taking a view on the flavour of government’s oppression. You are adding the oxygen of attention to a harmful process.
There are more moral ways to allocate sats. There are better things to direct attention to.
Moral? Sure.
Intelligent? Not in the least 😂
You should check with the local laws in your municipality to determine what is and isn't moral. /s
Hard to type that even as a joke.
