People don't want Bitcoin. Steam, the largest online shop for PC games had Bitcoin payments, barely anyone used it, and they removed this option when it started creating problems when network fees got as high as $50. For Bitcoin to have any chance to get adopted, three things must happen - the price must stabilize, the regulators must greenlight it, Lightning Network must be officially released and adopted.
Steam was using BitPay and the problem was with them. But rather than finding their own solution they removed the payment method entirely. I have been unable to purchase any games ever since, because believe it or not, you cannot obtain an internationally valid card in all parts of the world. Once i was barely able to purchase some European gifcard paying at least extra 20% but its way too much trouble, same goes with mobile games. It costs nearly nothing to adopt it, but refusing it is only making you lose purchases, nothing else. Now at the very least you can travel to El Salvador and find a ton more places that accept bitcoin, even famous American franchises... You simply live in a world where you take everything for granted, while for some of us it is Bitcoin that actually enabled us to do online purchases. If it had received good number of users, then Steam could've rectified the issue. Here, it hasn't got good number of people using the service which is the reason they don't take the issue seriously and completely stopped the bitcoin acceptance. What had happened in El Salvador is different, the country have given the free way for its people to do whatever you want to do with bitcoin. If such situation happens around we can see a good rise in the usage of cryptocurrencies. |

Person who is with disability and unable to walk see the person with good legs and wishes for it. Same as that one with legs look the person moving in a bicycle and the person going in bicycle wants to be like someone on a motorcycle. This continues, and everything is connected to money and the human minds are in a state to run for it. So, it is obvious that money is the motivating factor.

Currently, the bitcoin price is above $17k. I see this increase is likely to continue even if not too significant, however, at least the current increase will bring the price of bitcoin closer to $ 20k by the end of this year.
The end of 2022 is better when we talk of increasing rather than decreasing prices and the current market conditions are good. The graph of the increase has been seen, although we have not confirmed that it was the beginning because it is still possible to go back down. But we expect Bitcoin to close the day at $17.5K and another hope to close the month at around $23K. If the Bitcoin price can get above $20K this month, then next year I think there will be even more chance of a percentage increase to occur. At this point it is going to be very difficult to know what it will happen during the next year, I am instead expecting a quiet year in which not much happens, now this may not seem as a desirable outcome for many, but when I take into account the turmoil we had to suffer during this year and all the crazy events that happened, I think that what we need the most right now is a period of time in which not much happens and that allow us to accumulate more bitcoin without such a high volatility. More 20 days to end the month. By now we can't expect big change in the market price of bitcoin. The increase is supposed to happen closer to the Christmas days, and gets carried forward to new year. How far this gonna happen isn't known. The upcoming year based on several predictions is the time to accumulate for the better growth in the long term. |

The core behind the innovation is taking away the intermediary, with which it is possible to make the network decentralised and give the best privacy to the users. When people move through the centralised platforms, it isn't the mistake out of his innovation making his dream go away from the reality. It is the lack of awareness on using decentralised platforms.
Usage of non custodial wallets serves to be the best with which one can understand how perfect the innovation works as Satoshi have dreamt. People always look for the ease of access which at times land them on centralized platforms.

It's always inspiring to read stories like this and see that this community has very proactive people who work on educating people about Bitcoin. I guess many felt conflicted about the word "sponsored" the op used, but from op's reply on this point it seems that it is sponsored in a sense that op sponsored the event (purchased the necessary materials and equipment for it). That's a great act, really.
We don't know on what aspect he did the seminar, but it shows the active involvement of our forum users into spreading the word of bitcoin. For what reason the participants joined the seminar, we don't know. Somehow through the seminar they would've got some awareness and the need of bitcoin. Good that OP done everything himself for the event which is being misunderstood by some members. |

It was a really dramatic ending for Ronaldo I'm afraid. He just burst into tears after Portugal were eliminated by Morocco. His final tournament with his national team really shouldn't have ended like this. They had such a potential for even the final round in fact. They were a very productive team in offense which was giving confidence to their fans also. But they were just desperate against Morocco defense. They shared the same fate with Spain as a result. I was really hoping to see an Argentina - Portugal finale.  Now it is time for Messi to do his best for Argentina. This could be his last tournament with his national team just as Ronaldo. At least Messi should be able to make it to the finale at least. But considering Croatia's tough defense I'm really worried about Argentina's fate. Very dramatic, I must say. Ronaldo was very bitter as he shed some tears at losing out of the tournament after playing so well from the start. In football, the better team usually wins and the Moroccans were the better team of the game hence why they won. It was a tough game for Ronaldo and the loss might take a toll on him. He has now lost out of winning the World Cup with Portugal and also lost out on staying with Manchester United. I’m alarmist moved to feel sorry for him. I’m cautiously optimistic about Argentina winning the game against Croatia. I do not want to have my hopes all the way up for Argentina only to have Croatia smash them. We’ll see how that goes. Looking over each and every quarter finals match, everything looked to be a struggle and a team have won the match. It was England vs France in which France managed to win the match. In the match Brazil vs Croatia, end was unexpected, same is with the Portugal vs Morocco match. Somehow Argentina made it against Netherlands in the penalty shoot. In the upcoming semifinals we can't predict Argentina to be the winner with ease considering Croatia and Morocco the underdogs. |

Anyone who Was doubting Virat Kohli till yesterday, i think today he gave a befitting reply to all of them. But obviously hero for the day was Ishan Kishan, i think the main change India made today was in their mentality how to approach their innings from the start. Technically this is a good win for India but I feel the series loss is not a good sign for them overall. But yes a pretty good match for India to bounce back.
That's the truth, the mentality with which they open the innings have given them with the best result. It looks like the team is carrying unwanted pressure all the time, and this isn't the right way to play. Yesterday they played without pressure as well as they were completely towards the target planned, even if Ishan Kishan and Virat Kohli wasn't able to make it someone would've done it. |

france victory led to the semifinals to meet morocco, i think morocco has a worthy opponent now after beating some other great teams, this will be a great match in the semifinals and i don't want to underestimate morocco anymore but if they surprise again it will be history for them, congratulations on the victory of france
Morocco has a very big surprise in this world cup because they made it into the semi finals meeting France and it will be an exciting game. Hopefully Morocco manages to get a lot of good chances and take advantage of the opportunities that exist to score goals and get the win on the fifth next December thirteenth. the Morocco game is good. they are not just lucky to get the win. Spain and Portugal have felt it. we may see how France also has difficulty facing Morocco. I'm sure many gamblers are annoyed by this unexpected outcome. especially if the final is between Croatia and Morocco, maybe in the media there will be shouting about fixing the score and others. we have heard such news when we see the great progress from Morocco. but anyway they played well. Media wants to create controversy and for the same they'll create way for unwanted discussion. The statements coming out of the media have no proof and we need to understand who could allow such a small nation win fix the match. I'm impressed with the game Morocco played throughout the tournament. |

Basically, some Banks or would I say most banks are not well pleased with the existence of BTC.
Bitcoin has opened a lot of investors eyes, as how inflation and Banks slowly robbs off people their money that is deposited in the bank with charges , restrictions on account and pay customers small interest on loaning their money.
While this has made investors start moving their attention into BTC, Thus resulting in banks seeing Bitcoin as business enemy.
Not just about the investment opportunities, but it have served as an alternate that fulfill all that can't be done by the traditional system. Fiat system is developed for a purpose same is with bitcoin. People find bitcoin to be better in all means. This had moved lot of people towards bitcoin for their transaction needs causing loss to the banking network. This is the reason why banks wants bitcoin usage stopped. |

Nowadays very few start from the scratch whereas the majority invest big and try to make the best out of it. This is highly risky, but here OP have experienced from the scratch and the same will serve as a big learning for him to take right decisions with cryptocurrency. Based on what he have added to the thread, since his loss years back he believed in it and have worked on it. Finally success is being tasted. Believe in bitcoin and it won't let you down.

Because it is a financial matter, you must always make your own decisions. I will not hold a coin that is associated with risk. I absolutely despise being involved in drama. I will no longer hold such risky coins wherein FTX has invested. I'd sell coins and buy some others. Investing in a coin nowadays is a challenging task. Because there is so much drama going on around crypto, you must choose smartly. Rather, invest in Bitcoin, which is less risky and much more decentralized.
Agreed, when finance is involved it is good to have their own decision. Because we don't know the market movement of the respective coin. It can move bullish or bearish in no time. When there is a fear about the involvement of something that had created negative impact over the market, it is good to sell and go for the trusted ones on the top list than holding with fear. |

We can't judge any player by signal match performance I know All of these indian stars are very talend and match winner player but due to out of form for some time can't say that this player failure, everyone know that form is temporary while class is permanent , so the main point is that Kohli and Rahul are class player hope they will comback stronger, while I am happy that Rohit perform well but luck wasn't with him because 12 runs remaining on 3 ball which can be easily for rohit but he didn't
It's best in interest of Indian cricket team to replace Kohli with some new talent. Three years have been given to King Kohli to get back to his form but of no use. May be kohli can play some domestic cricket that can help him in regaining form. I don't know why BCCI is not replacing him with some new talent. I think replacement of Kohli with any young player will be the biggest mistake ever of BCCI, because Kohli is a GOAT , in my mind he is the best player ever in overall indian batters history So I think only his presence in squad put pressure on opponent because everyone know that he can handle every situation and he proved it in past, in every big game new young talent got under pressure and didn't perform while Kohli is a big game player he always perform in big game when team need it Giving chance ti New young talent will be beneficial may be but I am not in the favor of removing Kohli, still his experience and talent can help India to win the world cup, Giving chance for young talents is a must, but it doesn't look like Kohli needs to be taken out of the team. Right now he is the only Indian cricketer to play in critical match situation. To get such a player is really hard. As mentioned, he had lost his form long back and believed of a comeback and that wasn't successful as expected. India will be focusing on the upcoming World Cup and in that way Kohli won't be out of the team for many reasons. |

I can not believe! I was hoping Brazil would win but as usual penalties are a lottery! too bad, Brazil didn't deserve to go through! congratulations to Croatia who reconfirm themselves as a difficult team, now I'll watch the other match today, Holland-Argentina and I hope Holland wins even if they already lose 0-1, what are your feelings about this match?
Neymar cried so much after the loss. I still can't get over with it - just read that this was Neymar last world cup - but he was very very sad after losing the match so am I . . well played Brazail The entire tournament is full of disappointment and we can't say the teams making surprise wins were out of luck. Every team that won against the top played good and some magic happened. For the entire fans around the world it is a big disappointment, beyond that will be the situation of the players. Brasil made goal at the additional time and Croatia leveling it at the last minute is simply not the luck thing. |

Well done, and congrats on the success. Getting 13 customers to pay with bitcoin on the very first month is really good. Based on the statement you haven't announced it or advertised it. Just the bitcoin accepted notice have brought the customers. This shows that you're in a locality that have got more number of cryptocurrency users.
The plan of providing additional discount and announcing it through flyers could help with increasing the business. In all means, it is must to have a perfect understanding to use the income in the right way to generate profit out of it.

Op is thinking beyond the reality. No casino will shoot such questions when an user goes for withdrawal. If one of the casino is making such a statement or requesting the proof of income so to withdraw the winning, then it is indication of being scammed.
No trusted platform gets into such kind of activity with the normal gambler. Similar things could happen when the price of bitcoin is high and a common user who haven't deposited big money makes a huge deposit all of the sudden. Maybe in such scenario the proof of fund might be requested.

I don’t think anyone wants or expects bitcoin to replace fiat and become a world currency. I see it like an alternative and better means of payment. Bitcoin is unique and not In competition any means of payment(fiat).
Perhaps, it’s the uniqueness of bitcoin that gets people fazed and then thoughts about bitcoin taking over fiat begin to materialize in their heads.
I think you could say bitcoin isn’t a world currency as every country has its individual currency. In my opinion, bitcoin wasn’t intended to be a world currency
Obviously, Bitcoin wasn't created to replace the use of fiat nor will become a world currency and bitcoin is not in competition with the fiats, in fact, it's the other way around as the fiats that are backed by the governments are the ones who sees the bitcoin as their competitor because it's been already widely used and been praised by a lot of people around the world especially investors. As in the quote bitcoin wasn't innovated to end the usage of fiat system and take its position. Bitcoin was found to be better than the fiat system in all aspects. This makes the traditional currency to create opposition against the usage of bitcoin. This is why we come to see news about different countries and it's governments standing against the usage of bitcoin. Slowly the countries that were against the usage of bitcoin have come with the plan of accepting the usage. Some country have legalized it whereas few have regulated the usage. Bitcoin is already an universal currency for the reason of getting converted to any currency with ease. This isn't possible even with the dollar, so in one form it have already reached the state of being a world currency. |

I still cannot digest Spain went home the way it did.
I actually gave my vote in this thread about seeing Spain the finals... So many teams I thought they would over-perform are gone now, among all the alleged scandals, etc. This world cup is being quite unpredictable.
I wasn't surprised by Spain's exit, but not at this point in the round of 16. Despite some slight modifications to their squad, they still have a powerful team to reckon with and go further than this in the World Cup. Let me just wish them success next time, although they did their best to advance far than this in this World Cup. Unpredictable events are one of the things that keep football fans throughout the world interested in the game. What a shock to see Spain leaving so soon! More shock and disappointment have happened throughout the tournament. This time it is Spain to experience it. No one expected Morocco to win against Spain. During the 90 minutes on the field Spain could've made the goals. They missed it and Morocco did it well finally. Upcoming matches are going to be very interesting, and here to some shocks can happen. |

I have played with small funds after watching good win coming for more players through gate of olympus, and I was not much into slots. I just tried to play without the proper understanding about the back story. Slots makes way for making big money, but it requires good bankroll. For this reason my choice is towards dice and sports betting than slots.

1) Many Of Small traders always got into the Trap of Whales? Why?
Well, retail investors do not think like whales because the whales have long term vision and most small traders are happy to get little profit. That's the reason in case of a bullish rally the retails usually sell early while whales have their big targets. In bear times, retail are fearful and do not buy at cheap rates while the whales accumulate in these fearful times. There is a difference in the approach between retail and whales and that is the main reason why whales always win over small investors. Their buying strategy is too different, they are in the opposite position. Whales are buying when panic and fear increase while small investors buy during recovery. In that case, whales truly matured when it comes to investment and they can carry high-risk responsibilities pretty much unlike how these small investors do and think. It is all about mindset and market views, whales can perform better because of their long-term targets and they act consistently which we can never see in small investors as more of them are short-term investors and low risk-takers. Whales will be accumulating when the small traders were in the panic as there is market crash. The small traders have limited fund and they try the best to safeguard the fund, whereas whales in the market have got good sum of money that makes them go for investment when the market is in panic. |
