And as expected, we have reach $62,000 as news of 0.5% interest rate cut by the United States Federal Reserve. So as we have seen, not just crypto market, everything was in align with this news and so financial markets all over the world as in the positive in the last 24 hours.

And with that, we might expect something big to push the price even further to $65,000 before the end of the month. We need this positive news to sustained growth. Prices has been in the sideways and at least a good $60,000-$65,000 short term is going to be a good sign for us, that a imminent rally and we all could sustain that run up to the end of  the year and have a new all time high.

I know people are very optimistic and starting to think about bigger growth of bitcoin but in my opinion ,  it is still too early to say that .  If you look at the news and speculation surrounding the Fed's sudden 0.5% interest rate cut, you'll see that it's not all positive, instead there are some theories that the economy is at risk of a recession . If a recession happens , I think it will have a significant impact on the market and we are unlikely to see a real bull market as expected.

I agree with some that we need to be careful with what is going on and watch the market reaction over the next few days before making any decisions .  Sell ​​the news could still happen or the market could fall sharply again if recession fears become more evident .
102  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you advise a friend in the same way? on: September 19, 2024, 01:40:56 PM
It is good to give advice about Bitcoin but it is completely up to one's self when it comes to investment. Your friend may blame you if the price of bitcoins is not stable but drops after investing that's why if he himself knows well about bitcoin social then he will invest. The value of a cryptocurrency can change constantly and dramatically. An investment that may be worth thousands of dollars today may be worth only a few hundred dollars tomorrow. Knowing the risks of bitcoin can advise you to invest.

If I were OP, I wouldn't be afraid of being blamed and what I'd be more worried about is if he took company money to invest in bitcoin. What if bitcoin is dumped and his company needs money to fund its business operations? That would put his company in jeopardy and worse, bankruptcy.

So in my opinion, don't give him any investment advice but instead suggest him some investments, which may include bitcoin. But make sure he takes the time to learn everything about them first and only invests money that has nothing to do with the company's budget or reserves. Using corporate funds to invest in bitcoin is a bad idea, IMO .
103  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lol. Trump "makes" his first bitcoin transaction. on: September 19, 2024, 01:16:58 PM
For a person who doesn't  live in America, I don't pay much attention to the presidential election there, but I think it's the same with other countries. Candidates do stunt and gimmick to attract voter. And in this specific thing, I have a question, is it good or bad if the candidate use crypto for their campaign?

When crypto community getting political attention doesn't it mean that it's getting popular, and maybe we could expect some good policy from the candidate when they got elected, and this will lead to more market value and adoption?

Or will it just stop in their campaign? like nothing will change after they got elected, whey won't even talk about Bitcoin or crypto.

Staying neutral about the election will help you avoid unnecessary controversy, you are great. But I disagree when you say that having a pro-crypto presidential candidate won't make it more popular. If you are a celebrity, someone with a large fan base, you will see how much influence you have over them. Trump is not only a billionaire but also a former president and a candidate this year, so his influence will not be small. Don't underestimate a celebrity speaking out in favor of cryptocurrency.

But I agree with you that we still don't know what they will do after they are elected, whether they will keep their promises or will forget all the promises they made. Everything remains in question because the future is unpredictable . I don't know about you, but if I get a chance, even a small one, I'm ready to seize it and not let it go. So I support him and hope he will bring positive things to the crypto industry .
104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin would have averted this painful loss, shame on fiat on: September 19, 2024, 12:56:54 PM
Transparency—that’s what people want, and that’s why we’re looking for change. Bitcoin might be the answer. Sure, banks have their lapses and lack transparency, but like it or not, they’re still important. Why? We still rely on fiat money every day. Maybe in the future, when more people adopt bitcoin and it becomes the norm, we’ll finally break free from fiat.
Even if bitcoin becomes widely adopted and more people use it, I don't believe we will eliminate fiat. Simply because the government will never let that happen, if that happens it is like the government has collapsed. As long as the world is under their control and management, don't expect us to be able to completely eliminate fiat or the banking system.


But for me, I don’t see fiat as something to be ashamed of. We benefit from banks, and honestly, when it comes to security, we can trust that our money is safe with them. It’s really just the unclear fees that can be frustrating. Maybe we should ask them about that if we have concerns.

Trust me, there is nothing to be ashamed of and no one feels ashamed of using fiat and banking because they use them every day. There may be complaints, annoyances but in the end people still continue to depend on them because they are the main means of our lives.

If OP dares to answer honestly, I'm guessing he's still using fiat and banking, and has never used bitcoin for everyday payments. Bitcoin is not a legal currency in most countries and most people just want to invest in it, not many people want to use it for payments. That is what is happening and we should accept that fact.

India started with a poor batting performance in the first Test match against Bangladesh. The batting they are doing in today's match may soon turn them into an all out for Bangladesh. Indian team lost three wickets, experienced batsman Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were all out. These players did not start well in the opening. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma combined for a total of 12 runs with six runs each

It is going to be a two-match series. I am watching a lot of people saying that Bangladesh might win one of the matches.
I understand they are saying this because Bangladesh was able to win against Pakistan recently.
But I think we should understand that the Pakistan team is not anywhere close when compared to India.
There was a time when the Pakistan team was one of the best in the world. But those days are long gone.
Now Pakistan is not as strong team. They even struggle against weaker opponents.
So just because Bangladesh was able to win the series against Pakistan, doesn’t mean Bangladesh is going to trouble India a lot.
I am saying this as a Bangladesh cricket fan, is most probably not going to win a single match against India,

and Shubman Gill was out for 0 runs. Right now Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal are batting if they can form a partnership then good can collect a run and if they get out then India will definitely not score big today.

You know, In India most Ducks in 2024 was Jasprit Bumrah, Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson. I can see many best players just sitting on the  bench like Ruturaj Gaikwad, where Gill is getting opportunities again n again to increase his Duck record lol, don't know why!!

Congratulations to Manchester United because maybe this match is Manchester United's day which has won with a very satisfying score and I think the fans are happy with the results of their match which has been able to beat Barnsley.

So this one is Ten Hag's biggest win as manager?

If Man United fan are extremely deluded, only then they will make this win a big deal, because otherwise, this is literally JUST Barnsley. But there are positives to take here as a United fan that the tactic allows them to score if they want to. Now they know, if played well they can overcome their shortcomings. The way they played in the game if replicated in a dominant mentality, could bring a lot of good results in the Premier League.


In addition, I appreciate this because it is one of the good achievements that they have done with their hard work. With their quite interesting front line players, because they played quite well and scored goals each.

Manchester United should not relax with this victory because they still have a long journey that they have to go through, besides I think they don't look ready to face other strong Premier League teams. They still have to work hard to improve their performance and ranking, because the victory they have achieved is not the end of their journey.


https://www.theguardian.com

I think Erik Ten Hag had a lot of the blame pointed at him, which is deserved, but the players do need to step up at games at times. You can coach or teach someone how to do a certain thing, but you can't go out there and do it on their behalf right? That's what it looked like about United recently. The whole club now needs to live up to their name, and stay united during the hardships and comes back strongly for everyone's good.
Look what Ten Hag said, they just gave opportunities to each other to score and boost their confidence. 26-year-old Rashford had a great chance of making hat trick, but he gave a penalty to Antony. Working as a team was the main factor of such kind of success.
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: September 17, 2024, 09:03:12 AM
In the start of the match the Stallions (Pakistan) did good bowling and destroyed their top order but later when Agha Salman and Iftikhar started to play with partnership, it was great for their team and helped a lot. Muhammad Rizwan has not played long innings but that was good at that time to handle pressure and to calm down the situation for his team. Abdul Samad also played well. By the way, Fakhar Zaman started well but has not any advantage because he lost his wicket early.

Markhors were able to win the match against the stallions easily. It was definitely one of the best bowling displays that Markhors put on. The target was not something that was out of reach by any means. In a 50-over match, a target of 232 is definitely not a big one. But the bowling performance that they have shown was incredible. They were able to restrict the stallions to 105. Zahid Mahmood (5), Salmam Agha (3), and Naseem Shah (2) have taken all the wickets.


Panthers won the 5th game of champions cup by 84 runs Panthers team played first and lost their four wickets quickly after which Mubadir Khan and Haider Ali created a partnership of 144 runs for the fifth wicket. Haider Ali scored 84 runs while Mubasir khan played 90 runs innings which helped them to set a target of 283 runs Lions bowlers failed to break the big part of 144 runs thats why pressure on bowling side and target was high. The Panthers team not only batted well they also bowled well and destroyed batting line up of lions team only Imam-ul-Haq played well other players did not played long innings the magic of Panthers spinner speak loudly Shadab and Usama mir took three three wickets. Brilliant performance by Panthers team after losing first match they won next two games consecutively

Again another one-sided match between the Panthers and the Lions. Panthers actually had given a decent target of 284. And in reply Lions could only 199 before being all out. Mubasir Khan (90) and Haider Ali (84) have taken the target so far for the Panthers. The extras given by the Lions were also pretty big, it was 30. in that, 25 was wide balls. So they had given 25 extra balls for the opponent team to play. Needless to say without the 30 extras, the total would have seemed to be not so big. But it wouldn't have mattered anyway because the Panthers have performed really well in the bowling side as well to make sure that they win the match.

Namibia vs United States
So in these two teams United States of America teams is much better as compare to Namibia team. Because United States already played with Canada and Netherlands. So Namibia is looking a weak team against them. By the way this is too early to say. Match will start in 15 minutes. United States won the toss and they decided to bowl first  and I think they made a good decision they will see the target and they have a goal so they will chase easily. So let's see.
This match should be won by the United States of America without any doubt. Even I was confident about this result even before the start of the game but now when they only need 20 runs in 72 balls, you can understand how easy was this match for the United States. Namibia only scored 199 runs and lost 9 wickets in the process. There were a couple of good innings by the Ireland team, one was by Jan Frylinck who made 70 runs and the other one by JJ Smit who made 49 runs. Rest there was just an ordinary display of batting by other batsmen and it did not help the Namibia cause. United States have lost only 4 wickets and they are very much near to the target now.



Even though USA actually lost the first two wickets pretty quickly, they were able to recover from that situation, and in the end they were able to win the match pretty comfortably.

I have to say I think that USA bowlers actually did a very good job. All of them had an economy of less than five. And I think that’s where Namibia actually lost the match. They were unable to put up a big enough target and the USA team was just a little too good compared to Namibia.

Patel (72) was the top score on the chase of 200, then he got bowled out. Mukkamalla able to add more 59 out of 71 balls. Monank-Mukkamalla's partnership pushed the match with 106 runs and really good individual performances to make sure that USA won the match.

but I instead think that Milan vs Liverpool will be less interesting than Manchester City against Inter due to the two teams wanting a rematch in every way so it won't be a static match with a foregone conclusion, we'll see anyway

I would say both matches have significant value to their fanbases, but history wise, and if you are a neutral, you would probably favor the AC Milan vs Liverpool match. They played against each other in two finals in the last decade, both are great teams and have always been that way.

AC Milan is a transitioning team, and aren't doing that good in the league right now. They are struggling to find their sweet spot and see themselves on the 9th spot in the Serie A after 4 games, with a total of 5 points. Not so solid, is it?
Liverpool on the other hand are going to be really hungry after their disappointing loss against Forest, a team no one expected them to lose against. The game is in San Siro, definitely a difficult day for any visiting team, should be the same for Liverpool, as well.

The thing is that this match is iconic, it reminds us of that final when City won their UCL for the first time and it was against Inter where I remember that Lukaku eventually missed all the opportunities, that was something impressive, seeing Pipo Inzhagi's face was something impressive, I couldn't believe it, however I think it's a good, interesting revenge match and they can make the difference this time, I see that City is very good, Inter too, but I think that if both play very well Inter can take the victory, since they are playing with that feeling of what could not be done before.

Inter Milan vs City might go for penalty in the end. you know, both managers know enough football to out-tactic the other in their own ways. Erling Haaland started the season in dream-like form, and he is expected to keep firing his shots in the Inter goal. On the other hand, Inter is not looking too bad either, as they are also yet to lose a game this season, having racked 8 points from 4 games in the league. Both of these games will be amazing to watch, for sure.
110  Economy / Economics / Re: USA dollar and BTC Are similar this is how on: September 16, 2024, 03:15:42 PM

USA has power after the COVID -19 and before this pandemic, the USA dollar had half value from today but after the pandemic, in our country, we faced many crises and now dollar is becoming stronger and stronger. Btc is good currency and that has bright future but USA dollar no importance in the comparison of BTC because one btc is equal to 58k dollars and if someone has one BTC ,he is rich person. Everybody should get knowledge of BTC because BTC will change the change the world in future because youth are taking interest in mining and they are working hard for mining of Bitcoin and miners will be rich in future.

How will BTC change the world in the future? BTC cannot change anything about our world. It is just an asset, a highly volatile investment , and it only benefits those who know how to take advantage of its volatility to generate profits.

Bitcoin is a financial market while mining is a business . If you don't have knowledge and don't have a good plan, you will still lose your investment in it and will go bankrupt if you mine without a good strategy . Don't exaggerate about bitcoin that it can change the world or bring wealth to people just by investing or mining it .
111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins are sucidal!!! on: September 16, 2024, 02:37:28 PM
if anyone really concerned with investing for long term they should always stick with investing in bitcoin disregarding other altcoin, altcoin as much as the growth potential that it has, always become the VC's game to make money.
if we see previous bullrun compared to right now, so many actually in the top 10 actually tanked and lost their position, expect the same thing with current popular alts.

for example, if anyone invested in EOS from bearish in 2020, they'd probably lost their money instead Grin while BTC is reaching greater ATH.

if we are talking about yearly investment that might spans decades I'd definitely pick bitcoin over anything available in the market, even the big guys are investing in it.

Is it fair to take EOS as an example and assume that all altcoins are the same? Can you tell me how many times ETH price has increased since 2013? and I bet you it won't go away anytime soon. Or even a shitcoin that everyone has despised since its launch like Dogecoin, its price has increased millions of times and I also see no signs of it going away as many bitcoin maximalists said. Bitcoin is indeed the safest investment in the market but don't deny that there are also many altcoins worth investing in.

Investing in bitcoin for decades? I bet not many people can do this, including you and me. You need to look at the reality, most are just speculating on bitcoin based on the 4 year cycle and some have started complaining because bitcoin price has not increased yet and bull season has not started yet. Even holding for 4 years makes many people impatient, let alone holding bitcoin for decades, not too many people can do that.
112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2024/2025 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: September 16, 2024, 02:25:59 PM
The first shocking loss of Arne Slot era has happened. Nobody expected Liverpool to have even have a chance that they would lose to Notthingham Forrest but it did happen and that's the sad part. I think it's clear that we are going to end up seeing this situation change quite a lot and I believe that we are going see many more of these happen in the future as well, feels like Liverpool definitely looks not that much worse since Klopp left, but not suddenly a great dominant team neither.

It would have been ideal for them if they lost to some bigger club but in the end they would have lost eventually so they just got that out of the way. Same week, we see United and Chelsea both get a win, two teams that are dealing with a lot of chaos right now, so it's definitely a good thing for them without a doubt. Specially United, who looked quite convincing while they were winning as well.

In the last few seasons of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, there was one big problem we could see in the games. The problem was the same that we saw on Sunday when Liverpool went up against Nottingham Forest at home. If you have watched enough games of Liverpool, you know what I'm talking about, and if you haven't, the problem is how poor the team plays against a low block. This set of players always goes through a really difficult time against a team who are just majorly defending and trying to get done with a draw or a very scrappy win.


https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/sep/14/big-setback-arne-slot-says-liverpool-fell-below-standards-in-forest-defeat

As Arne himself said after the game, this was the first time he faced a low block with this Liverpool team, and I might sound weird, but I'd say this loss is a good thing because this lets them to learn from how to play against a low block team, and now Arne can build the team from the loss. Nottingham Forest did not do anything crazy tactic wise, but I also felt that the Liverpool players were not giving their all on the pitch. They looked a bit careless, a bit slow, and not at their best. This also played a big role on them not being completely effective and lead them on to a loss. They need to bounce back from this immediately, as they face AC Milan in the midweek and have difficult league games ahead.
113  Economy / Economics / Re: Did Trump - Harris debate really affect Bitcoin's price? on: September 16, 2024, 02:04:59 PM
I personally believe, Harris will also support adoption of Bitcoin if she is elected president, as financial institutions in USA have made significant investment in Bitcoin.

The United States surpassed China in 2021 to become the world's largest bitcoin mining hub, but did you know that Biden has proposed a 30% tax on miners? While that could cause miners to move to other countries, he doesn't seem concerned about that. Therefore, it is not convincing to assume that just because many domestic financial institutions are investing in bitcoin, it means that the Harris administration will support bitcoin adoption or introduce bills to promote its development. What they want is more and more taxes, not necessarily any intention of promoting market development.

I don't trust Harris when it comes to crypto because of what the Biden administration has done although she could still change that stance after she is elected. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, Trump is more trustworthy.

Basically Hoffenheim is not a strong team like Leipzig, so even though Hoffenheim played at home, Hoffenheim also had no chance of winning, because the odds in the match also proved that Bayer Leverkusen was highly favored to win. True enough, because Bayer Leverkusen also managed to win with a big score even though they did not win with clean sheets, but the victory with a score of 1-4 was still a very good result for Bayer Leverkusen.

Although indeed, Bayer Leverkusen has experienced one defeat and unlike last season which managed to end the season without defeat. But even so, of course Bayer Leverkusen still has a chance to compete with Bayern Munich in the fight for the title this season. But indeed, about the match between Bayern Munich v Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend this month, it is clear that it will be a very interesting match, considering that last season Bayern Munich was really unable to beat Bayer Leverkusen. Perhaps, this match will also prove whether Kompany will still succeed in making Bayern Munich get points, or maybe lose, it will certainly be interesting to look forward to.

You are right that the Hoffenheim team was not as strong an opponent as Leipzig. This group is relatively a weak group. A victory against such a team is certainly not a matter of public pride for a team as big as Leverkusen. Still we appreciate Leverkusen because their gameplay was really good. Leverkusen dominated the match and won by a big margin of 4-1.

After the defeat against Leipzig, many of us thought that this team would not be able to fight for the title. Leverkusen may not be able to compete for the title this season. We probably won't even see a better performance from Leverkusen this season. But Leverkusen's players proved us wrong. The team performed well in the entire match. And won by dominating. And I would say if this performance can be maintained, Leverkusen can do well in the upcoming matches as well. Leverkusen can win even against big teams. Leverkusen has this capability.
115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 15, 2024, 05:30:25 PM
Leverkusen's performance against Hoffenheim was very composed. In the previous match we saw poor performances from Leverkusen's players. It's been a long time since Leverkusen lost a Bundesliga match. Leverkusen lost 3-2 against Leipzig. Leverkusen lost the match due to the weakness of their defense. And I'd say Leverkusen needed to lose this match. Leverkusen's players will be desperate for a win against Hoffenheim after losing their previous match. And in this match the boys of Leverkusen played brilliantly.

The performance of Hoffenheim players was good in this match. Hoffenheim wanted to win their home match. So Hoffenheim players played attacking from the beginning of the match. But Leverkusen's forwards and defenders both had solid performances. So Hoffenheim's players could not break Leverkusen's defense even after trying hard. If Leverkusen continues this form, Munich vs Leverkusen in the last week of this month is going to be a very competitive match.
You need to be on your best if you hope to beat the best in Bundesliga and Hoffenheim were reminded why Bayer Leverkusen were able to win the league last season with their composed pattern of play, their ruthless attacks and their unending desire for goals. I liked what I saw from Xabi Alonso's boys and I expect to see more of them when they pair against bigger sides so it won't look like they excel when they meet small teams.

You are right. If Leverkusen want to be Bundesliga champions again, they will have to be at their best. Because Bayern Munich, one of the rivals for the Bundesliga title, is in good form this season. Also the performance of the Leipzig team is very good this season. Dortmund's players are also playing well now. So Leverkusen's players must perform better if they want to occupy the top spot in the table.

Leverkusen's coach Xabi Alonso is very talented. Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title last season with the help of Alonso. The Leverkusen coach was able to find out the weaknesses of his squad in the match against Leipzig this season. And Alonso has managed to minimize the problems within his squad to a great extent. And that's why we saw a packed performance from Leverkusen's players against Hoffenheim.

Leverkusen will face Feyenoord in the Champions League in a few days. This match is very important for Leverkusen. But the Feyenoord team is also strong enough. It will not be easy for Leverkusen to win this away match.

What differentiates a club that's for a winning mentality from the others is their ability to get back up when they fall and that was the case for Bayer Leverkusen. Infact the scoreline I saw yesterday wasn't surprising as thats their stock in trade and I hope to see more from them. As it is Bayern Munich are back to contending for the title and not just them but others as well and this means more competition so they need to continue the way they did last season if they hope to repeat the action of lifting the trophy.

Leverkusen's performance against Hoffenheim was very composed. In the previous match we saw poor performances from Leverkusen's players.

Australia Vs England
The third T20 match will start today between Australia vs England. Today's game will be the most challenging and competitive between the two teams, as the match has been won 1-1 so far.  So the team that can win today's game will win this series only. So today Australian team captain Head is an experienced batsman and he will surely try hard enough to win this match by adopting different strategy. So today we will enjoy the most difficult and challenging game between these two strong teams. So it is very difficult to determine the result between these two teams today, because which team can win today's game is difficult to determine the victory until the game is over.

There is no doubt that both Australia and England are very strong teams in the T20 format. And in the first two matches both the teams played quite well. Although England's batsmen could not bat well in the first match, they performed well in the second match. The England team won by batting at the big target given by Australia. Liam Livingstone is in great form at the moment. In both the matches we saw better performances from Livingstone.



Manchester's Emirates Old Trafford Stadium pitch is not batting friendly. England team collected the highest on this pitch. England team won by batting on a target of 195 runs against Pakistan. England's collection was 199 runs in 19.1 overs. However, England are well aware of the conditions on this pitch. I expect England to win today's match as well. However, the batting of most of England's batsmen is irregular. This is why I am worried about whether to bet on England's win.

I came in contact with some X users who already do this, and it looked amazing to me, they even tested the Titanium plates on water and tried burning it on fire, but the plate was still elegant with the seed phrase intact. Bearing in mind of the vulnerability that comes with saving our seed phrase on mere papers, this technique can secure our seed even when they is a fire outbreak, flood, or any natural disaster that paper can't withstand.

I still have in mind of some friends who said they'll have to split the location of their paper wallet because of any disaster that may occur. Having your seed phrase punched on titanium plates makes it water, and fire proof...



Check out the page they've got the details and tools for hammering the words on the plate.
Then let's start buying some titanium plate then, hahaha.

One thing is missing I believe, while the titanium plate can withstand fire and other natural disaster, we have to make sure we don't lose it, because it is possible that after a natural disaster occurs suddenly you can still lose the plate, maybe you forget to take them along while running for your life or in the midst of surviving that disaster you misplaced the plate.

This is inevitable as we are all human, anything can happen, imagine a big hurricane is in sight and you are miles away from home, maybe at work and you kept this  titanium plate somewhere in your house, the nature disaster could have struck hard before you get home, and that's it, now you have to start going through all dirt and shits in your street looking for a plate.

The sad part is someone can get to it first before you, and since the words are still intact you can lose all your Bitcoin, sometimes when I think about this world, the unfair part is the most possible outcome of everything, always be ready.

Online or offline storage, do we use paper, steel or titanium for storage...is there any method that is absolutely safe? Every storage method has its pros and cons, no method is perfect enough to be able to withstand every risk in this world. So in my opinion, let's use the method that best suits our situation and I believe that is the best solution instead of following other people's ideas when they don't suit us.

Using titanium to stamp the seed phrase isn't bad either but I find it unnecessary and just adds cost instead of giving us more security . As some have said: the safety of the seed phrase will depend on its privacy to others and being kept in the safest place, not just on the type of metal we use .

You are a young man of 18, I think you have the ability to understand what is good and what is bad according to your age. You have known about Bitcoin since you were 16 years old hearing about it. If you have a good salary and are not dependent on parents, you can invest monthly or weekly using DCA method with part of your salary. But that's not all, you must be experienced with your investments and holding your investments. Everyone's parents believe like your parents because they are not of my generation like yours it will take time for them to understand about Bitcoin.

It's more than expected that older generations are highly skeptical of things they have no experience with and don't fully understand. And conservative approach and sticking to what you know works, may not sound romantic or exciting, but it's a safe way, and you don't want to take too much risk especially when you have children to provide for.
I'd be more worried about parents getting overly exposed to risky investments like crypto.

And way too many people are looking into crypto as an alternative to hard work and acquiring real-life skills. That's a big mistake. There's no reason you cannot do both.

That's why I never liked the idea of ​​teaching bitcoin to older people or convincing our parents to invest in bitcoin. To me, this is a bad idea because the benefits they get are much less than the risks they face .

But it is confusing when many people try to convince their parents to invest in bitcoin or worse , explain to their parents about bitcoin with the intention of asking their parents for money to invest in bitcoin . Meanwhile, our job is to earn money and take care of our parents, not the other way around, taking their money or putting them at risk . Bitcoin is a good investment but not suitable for everyone because not everyone can bear the risks it brings .

I don't like socialists so I would never vote for Harris, but what makes you think Trump will change anything for bitcoin? I remember when he was chosen for first term people were speculating that he'll be good for bitcoin because he's a businessman and understands the market. Next thing he said he doesn't like any cryptocurrencies and supports the dollar. Then people hoped someone (slipped my mind) from his close staff would change something for bitcoin because he said he owns some, but unfortunately nothing changed apart from Trump endorsing some shitcoins.

I believe Kamala is going to be bad tech stocks, the US economy, crypto and foreign politics in general, but I doubt Trump will do anything positive for bitcoin. That whole talk about reserve currency is only to get votes.

We don't need him to do positive things for bitcoin or fulfill every campaign promise . What we need is for him to not impose harsh regulations on the market and have a more open policy, that alone is a win for the crypto industry .

We can't ask too much from any government because bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are still so new and small that it's normal for them not to care. But we cannot deny that bitcoin is getting more and more attention from people worldwide , in every government, country...for example it has never been mentioned in previous elections but things are gradually changing . So it would be great if we had a government that is friendly to us instead of an unfriendly government .
