That still proves that we need banks.

Since you travel a lot, I guess you also went to a country where Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are not that popular hence it is not that accepted that much there. That just also means that you need to rely on your fiat which you covert to fiat that is used in that country. As a traveler one of the things you should really consider is changing your money into fiat being used there. Accepting Bitcoin might just be an additional or a bonus to that.

I don't think businessmen has problems with it.

Unless if the government insisted that they needed to monitor each of those companies or corporations that accept cryptocurrencies, that is when they will submit something about their profit in cryptocurrencies since they are already submitting these reports in income since they are paying taxes, right? So I don't think we have a problem with that. Either way, the people should be introduced by it so they will be using it.

That sounds bad to me.

I think that just means that there are a lot of scams happening and I know that scams and hacks are inevitable but they might think that if the number of people getting scammed continuously increases, then that just means that they might consider banning Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as well.

I hope that they will not end up with that decision.

We never know.

Bitcoin usually makes us surprised by its quick-changing price. You might think it won't happen but there is also a chance that it will happen. The dominance of Bitcoin is regaining and I think there is a huge possibility that it will stay at $9K and might go higher than $10K.

2022 in terms of volatility of Bitcoin is so long. I guess we might see an ATH even before we welcome that year.

I thought Bitcoin's price will fall down after halving but it didn't.

Maybe we can say that the reason why the price of Bitcoin is staying at $9K is that there are a lot of people in India increasing the dominance of it while we are in the pandemic. People are scared because they thought that it will fall though I don't think there are a lot of people that invested there too. But some articles said that the people investing in cryptocurrencies there are increasing.

I do agree that it will increase and I am not really affected when it falls down since I know it will just go back quickly.

These emails though doesn't require you to put all of your information with it.

Also, you could make an email address that doesn't make sense at all so you would be able to maintain your anonymity. For example, you could use Iwantedtobeanonymous14@gmail.com so they will never know besides, you should just create a sole email for gambling and differentiate your other personal email addresses. It is that easy.

They are working from home, obviously, they are consuming their own electricity and using other things that would increase their bill.

The government is taking care of these people and you want to make them continuously do that? This is a good decision by the government. Instead, they could just maximize the tax they are getting in big companies or corporations that can still normally function despite the pandemic.

As long as we are seeing the price as we have right now, you should really aim higher.

We never know what will happen in the future so all we have now is to take what we can and make things happen with it. It might explode in the future and you will be regretting that you sold it earlier. As you said, it has a huge potential if we compare it to other investing items, might not be enough but just think of the people who really support it.

As I said, it will not be a good way to sustain your livelihood.

This pandemic will not just challenge the government to take care of its country but also the people on how they will be able to take care of themselves and their families. It is time for people to make their jobs convenient for them so they don't need to go outside. Maybe you can use Bitcoin as a payment to online shops or being a reseller. Barter is also a thing here in our country, that really helps other people that can't really buy things but have something that has value like fruits, vegetables, and livestock.

The price movements are also the reason why people will not be bored at all.

It is true that the price is staying for a while not but a lot of people predict that it will move again so that is worth waiting for. If you will be bored by that, I guess trading and investing is not for you. We need to be patient in fact, people should not be bored by cryptocurrencies at all since they move really quickly, you might turn your eyes away from them one thing you know, you are having a profit.

I don't think you should love how Bitcoin is not that known.

There are a lot of people here that love to recommend using Bitcoin and despite the development of quantum computers, I think developers will find a solution to secure the blockchain to it. More users mean higher value but that also means higher volatility since it circulates faster but still, that is fine as long as people are actually using it.

That should be your suggestion here, how can we make other people be aware of it.

I think you just played it safely, and that is just good.

I know that you could earn more if you waited but you will never predict that, right? No one knows how will the price moves so you just grab what you can do and work with what you have. Still, that is a nice message though.

The other thread talks about how people run away from this investment but with this kind of posts, you will also be motivated to be patient, that is just the thing people needed to stay here since it will bear fruit in the near future.

It helps in a way but it doesn't show the reality.

Most of the time, demo accounts gives you good results that sometimes makes you think it is that easy. I am not saying it is bad but people might take it as a sign that they should invest and not really thinking how the market moves. Losing is inevitable especially with his kind of market, if you can't handle that, it is not for you.

It is also stated in that article that they are fined for violating this protocol and fined P20K, told to undergo a swab test, and 30 hours of community service. I thought to practice is allowed right now but I guess some places are still restricting it.

I don't think we should be blaming the casinos.

There are a lot of minors that are actually playing in different casinos, besides, you should do that nagging to the email you will be sending to their supports. They can't filter minors in their site if that is the case I don't think you should be able to know that your child is gambling. You can just block the site and other gambling sites on the internet.

I really hope this is the case.

It is good that the NBA is canceled since I can save right now some of the money that I should've used to bet if there are games right now. Though my urge to bet is also getting bad so I stick to some online games, usually Dota 2 and CSGO. This game still needs to be developed since there are still a lot of bugs but I do want to bet on it since there are tournaments that happened the past few weeks.

Obviously no.

In terms of sustaining your livelihood, I don't think you will be able to do that. Cryptocurrencies are still new even though it is over a decade in existence. The problem here is that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not that adopted yet by a lot of countries. You can use it in a country as long as you convert those into fiats.

In terms of investment, it can give you some profits but not in the way that it can sustain you also, it depends on how much you've invested in it.

It is the nature of a human to be greedy, we can't really stop them from doing that since we are the ones calculating our taxes, people can evade whenever they wanted.

In terms of freedom, I can say that we are free. KYC may be stopping this freedom from your point of view but not all of the applications you can use requires KYC. There are a lot of alternatives you can use but this depends on how you use your cryptocurrencies. Some local exchanges do require KYCs, which I also applied since I really needed it but if I don't want to, I can use other alternatives as well. It is just that this local exchange has its convenience to me than the ones that offer you anonymity. If you want anonymity, you can use them.

Since Bitcoin is volatile, they think it would be that easy.

The prices do change every time but it is a wheel of reality, whether you will be on the bottom or on the top, you will never know. All I know is that if I will not be thinking that it is hard, I will be easy-go-lucky and be surprised is it is hard for me, I might also be discouraged if that happens. You should be able to take every blow before you can blow yourself.

Either way, there are a lot of ways for people to earn cryptocurrencies. It is just matter of skill, knowledge, and patience for them to be able to use that to their way to success.

The OP think it will just stay the way they are if that scenario happened.

I don't think that it will happen. The probable reason is that Bitcoin at that time will be having a good price. At that time, Bitcoin will not be stagnant, a lot of people will be using it and hoping they can invest and get on with the profits other people are having. Altcoins will have their movements too and I think that is more exciting than ever.
