I would say that one of the major risks of crypto is its inherent volatility, we don't necessarily have to avoid, in fact we have to embrace it because this is a good thing for bitcoin and to someone who wants to buy bitcoin at lower price, with a stable price, you won't be able to get a big profit margin in a long term hodling. I consider volatility as a risk for crypto businesses for the reason that if an average person were to engage or planning to engage in a transaction with the business and they see that they were paying the same amount but at the different rate which could be misinterpreted as something bad. We don't necessarily need to tackle this risk, as I have said earlier, embrace it because there are opportunities when volatility is present.

Eliminating the current centralized system means that we will have to start from scratch. Bitcoin might gain enough traction but it won't be enough that it becomes the centerpiece, bitcoin should also be able to replicate the cashflow in the economy like how the current system is doing well enough despite its value being inflated every year.

Not as easy as you say, helping you with nothing but the blockchain address will not be of any help. You also need to provide evidence that you really got scammed because everyone can accuse anyone of anything and that will not be a good thing for this forum which is already rife with scammers. You can move this thread to Scam Accusations board by clicking the move topic on the lower left of this thread and then find the appropriate board and follow the Scam Report Format.

@Jawhead999 is right, you can't take the money back but you can help in spreading awareness about this scams.

The reason that no one is talking about it is because they have no relevance to their agenda which is to point out how bitcoin consumes a lot of electricity to operate. And if they talk about it in the same realm as bitcoin then they would end up dwarfing the amount of electricity that bitcoin compared to the ones that they put together with it. Banknotes that are out of commission can be used to make fertilizers depending if the bank note is made up of cotton or if it is made with polymer then there isn't a need to replace, it's not bitcoin against the world after all, they just want it to look like that.

Well, we are still only 3 months in 2021 that is why I choose those news as much bigger news than the OP. I know that there will be something big that is going to happen in the future but I don't think that what hasn't happen yet is not a big news. We have a different ideas of big news so I respect that.

Electricity is expensive if your country uses coal and fossil fuels as a general source of electricity, the time and effort is exactly the reason why bitcoin consumes large amounts of electricity. The current rate of bitcoin mined in proportion to how much you are going to pay for your electricity is currently not enough AFAIK, and if you can pay the bill but you still have other expenses such as food and daily necessities and some fun money if you want to keep your social circle, putting a lot of effort and time in mining just to do good is an expensive endeavor.

Maybe we won't appreciate it right now but someday it will be instrumental to the growth. I wouldn't consider this the biggest news for bitcoin in what is happening so far in 2021, I would rank maybe the new ATH first and then the 1.5 billion USD purchase of Tesla as second. This is actually good because people who are investing in ETF's can choose this although if they are managed I think that it wouldn't make any difference.

I wouldn't necessarily consider bitcoin as a bubble though, it is not backed by any government like real estate bubble which can be popped and blown all the time. Considering that some people overhypes bitcoin but at the same time the prices are going strong despite the speculation that a burst will come is enough evidence for me to say that bitcoin is not a bubble or if it is, it must be a new kind of bubble.

Pretense will only get us so far, I still believe that bitcoin is both a currency and store of value so as not to garner any argument on which is which. I wouldn't really say that it is a bubble because I believe that once a bubble burst, there isn't any way that it can recover back like what happened in South Sea Bubble and Tulip Bubble, there are exceptions when defining a bubble though which is pretty confusing for me because Real Estate bubble burst but it seems to bounce back because of the government backing it up to grow again like what is happening currently in China.

A lot of people I assume is going to be getting all their investment profits without the worry of being taxed. The prices will surely plummet when this happens, and I am going to be saving some fiat because that will be a golden opportunity to buy more bitcoin.

I would define someone as rich when they have enough resources to not work so they can survive for another day. The question is a pretty vague one because one can answer based on spiritual, financial, social and physical aspect. But assuming that it will be an overall, I would say that a person is rich when they do not find the need to get petty amounts because they know that they can make more than ever.

Opportunity springs on places you don't expect though, even if this is a likely scam, we can't discount the fact that it falls under that phrase. The problem here is not the scams anymore because they are prevalent and easily detectable which means you can prevent yourself from falling into one. The more serious is how there are a lot of morons that grows up to become a gullible and crybaby adult, we have to reevaluate our education curriculum in regards to financial traps and scams because there is a clearly a lacking in that sector of education received by students and in the end we cultivate a generation of gullible and scammers.

Then don't put a lot of your coins in any of them, the risk of the amount lost is mitigated but the benefit is also lowered but in the end, the profits will speak for itself. I don't think that this websites will be vulnerable as back in the Mt. Gox days, security has been a thing and I think that this websites are definitely secure.

That is a pretty expensive price for something that you might not be able to live on. I did a quick search and found that what you are selling is currently on the gray area of fraud and legitimacy, these kind of service has been banned in China because it was considered a profiteering scheme. Good luck selling that land because no one in this forum currently will live long enough to be able to make a homestead in that land.

I was pretty hazy and drunk at that time I was writing, didn't pay much attention. My bad  .
I hope that you can get what you want, I am also looking for a Pokemon card but as I have mentioned in my other post which is the 1st Edition Holographic Charizard which is by far the most expensive card in the 1st edition.

Debt is the worst thing you can do to make yourself financially stable, consider debt as your last resort for anything, debt comes with many things beside the money that comes with it, the favor that you need to do because you are indebted is one of them. Borrowing money to grow it is the most crazy thing because instead of getting the full benefits, there are people that you need to pay some part of what you reaped because you need to payback what you owe and sometimes with interest. Debt only works if you have a company and your company is doing well to make the borrowed money make more money so that when you pay it back, you won't have any problem financially.

I don't know a lot about this terminologies but you can use this link to search for those terms. The link that I provided is pretty versatile for financial knowledge. You can use Google for this terminologies to be honest.

I have to update my knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency integration. I had been believing that this kind of thing has been a problem for bitcoin and I thought it wasn't solved already. If it is solved then the only problem that OP is facing is advertising his/her e-commerce website.
