https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxty2XhTwVIBasically it's very simple.
You take a currency that requires 21 days for staking/unstaking, then you deposit this amount in Atomic Wallet, stake it and then you can't gamble with the crypto you're holding.
The locking (staking) is done with one single click of a button, and it's practically speaking, equivalent to activation of self-exclusion on an online gambling site with a click of a button (and yet not all sites offer it unfortunately).
For example, you stake (lock) $200 of your crypto, and that's all crypto available for you - then you can't play/gamble/risk it for at least 21 days ... do it 15 times a year time after time, and you would be excluded for a long time.
The only drawback with this method is Atomic doesn't offer this on USDT so some "gamblers" might not like this idea because they trust stablecoins more than other crypto coins, but this is FYI.
I see this working and all that shit but I have two concerns regarding this shit.
First off, why in the hell would you do this? To stop yourself from gambling? Dude, if the only thing that's keeping you from gambling is the lack of access to your funds then you probably need more than just this atomix wallet feature to rid yourself of your brewing addiction to gambling, you might wanna look into more radical yet effective options, like idk, admitting yourself to a rehabilitation center, cause honestly, if you're already addicted nothing's gonna stop you from gaining access to your money. Have you heard of a crackhead who doesn't smoke crack on days that he doesn't have money? He hustles for it, he makes sure he gets his fix no matter what. The same thing can be said for gambling addicts, you can put out the most elaborate cheese maze known to man to take their money away from them but they'll tear down the walls if it means they can gamble for a day.
Another would be, what makes this different than other staking mechanisms in the market, suppose to say I don't want to do this and I instead opted for Binance's staking, am I gonna be doing something wrong? Or if I put out my money on a stake pool that has more than just 21 hours of lockin period. Is it gonna be bad? Why not just put your money in there for a whole year instead of doing this rinse and repeat typa shit for 15 times?
