Evergrande made a lot of fuss but it's not enough to take down Bitcoin at a high percentage.
See how short the bear market is and investors are still coming in. Even alts reacted but it was not that long before their prices came back.
I think it's not all about China anymore. Maybe before a lot of investors are on monitor what their next step will be but now, we can use the market reaction as proof that they are not easily manipulated anymore even with news like that.
Trust in Bitcoin is getting stronger.

Something like this news.
Owner Of NBA’s Kings To Offer To Pay Players In Bitcoin
It's not new but somehow I like it more when they are using Bitcoin instead of Dogecoin. It's just the hype made by EM and I don't think it should be trustworthy enough with a volatile market.
Bitcoin on the other hand does have a higher trust rating and there is no one at the helm to control it.
Sure there will always be manipulation for there will be rich people who will use their resources to gain the upper hand but they should still be wary about giving it up for chances of a sudden spike could come making them lose more than profits.

Yeah, the virus could infect you again. I've seen it in my neighborhood and I was shocked. Once, I also thought that if you got hit by the virus, your body will create immunities against it, but it's not true. It's like cold, it will go back if you are infected by another who has it.

About the vaccination, I hope it's that simple. They are using different reasons about it, religion and others about the deaths of those who are vaccinated and some like Kyrie who thinks microchips are inserted in it. Who knows?  I just hope they have their papers ready to prove it.

I'll pick waiting for the dip.
IMO, there's a higher chance to make some profits rather than jumping the hype which has high risk and a low chance to sustain it or pump.
The dip means there is a basis for its market price that's why we can say it was dumped.
While hypes are mostly created with new coins or manipulation.

Hope. That's difficult to find now when you are hit by the virus. People became pessimistic even with the vaccine being offered.

I don't know if I can call myself lucky or just at the right time when I file my resignation in November of 2019.
Never had the idea it will be the best decision in my life for I also find a new job online that pays better than my last job. Then, the pandemic hits.
I said to myself this will only take a year and I really want to go back in the field for some social interaction because working at home is kind of lonely although it has the perks of being with your family. I am just not used to it.
It's almost 2 years now and it's exhausting to cling to that hope. People are getting weary although they are following what the government tells. It's just not working at the right pace, it's too slow.

I was expecting so much from him last year but he is not feeling good so I understood what is happening with him.
Nuggets have shown their strength for 2 consecutive seasons and even proved a lot at the bubble defeating strong teams even when buried at 3-1 deficit.
Jokic will always come out stronger than the previous season but he cannot do it all.
Murray may come back but a win for a championship will still depend on how much improvement MPJ will have and so does Gordon.
They must maintain the aggressiveness in both ends of the floor.

I've read all the replies of OP and I can see he always uses the word "future".
You are going long-term so just pay the transaction fees in Bitcoin. That's the best possible option you could get rather than putting it in many baskets that would just stress you again about transaction fees if you want out.
It will just confuse you checking on each altcoins or stablecoins that you purchased and then having doubts about something else.
It's giving you a headache now, what more in the future?

Money is precious.  Considering how good their GM is, he won't just give up such a valuable guy being paid with a lot of money over a quantity of players.
He will certainly look for quality.
They may been waiting until the other teams will have a change of mind and give up one of their stars in exchange for a future star. Ripening the issue.
A team that is reconstructing and doesn't really aim for the Finals this year but has some good resources.

No doubt, they are all FUD. They are good at spreading it and they knew there are shaky hands in the cryptocurrencies industry.
All they have to do is attack that portion and they will have a successful spread of FUD. Just like Covid. 

Didn't we already learn our lesson for the last few years? They are always in the spotlight whenever Bitcoin breaks its new ATH, creating FUD after FUD, or sometimes they will pretend to break their own market to make it look real when in reality nothing was broken. It's just the media which they control that spread the news.

But that is not the real problem here. It's the 76ers management that doesn't want to let him go for he can be a big part of a better trade rather than forcing it now and end up with future picks. Their goal is to win this year and not next year.
And Ben Simmons is still signed with them, it's a trade that needs to happen to satisfy his request to be out of the team.
If this drama happened earlier then it could've been an easy task to look for a good deal but now it's not, Schoder was a good example of it.
It will just be a loss deal if they try to force it which will be regrettable if remembered.

If that won't happen, you won't learn a single thing about the crypto market.
There will be moments that you need to be cornered to push through.
I have invested again in some NFT during the dump, I think it's a good chance for an entry especially for expensive NFT tokens that are circling around.
Now that the pump is happening I may harvest some of it and think I am a genius. Or, will I be an idiot rushing the profits. I'll take anything as long as there is profits.

When I was a beginner it was Bitcoin as my main focus, you can a lot when you start there.
Afterward, I stretched the possibilities of making profits with other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, BNB, and more.
The next step should be Ethereum unless you are going for a BTC/USDT trade. While learning that, you will have a broad idea of how other projects are being made or what is their service. Take it slow, don't rush the possibility to heighten your knowledge about each crypto.

I am kind of intrigued too. I know some religions do have rules with blood transfusion but I haven't heard about needles and putting liquid in their body.
Besides, that needle will be thrown afterward, it's a one-time usage.

I think Wiggins cannot provide the right reasoning to be exempted in this vaccination process that is why his claim was denied.
Maybe if he could stretch the information, put in details why or show what is in their Bible then management may find a way to make it work in a different method.

Don't forget, we are human, we are bound to learn.
Once we learn that they are doing this on purpose we tend to adapt to it. There will be times we won't believe anything they would say anymore.
They may have the upper hand now to control the market because of being one of the countries that are growing but once Bitcoin is divided into a lot of users there won't be telling where the price would go.

It looks like the "long-run" is now. I tried the Binance android application and the trade section or the market tab won't open. It's just deposits and withdrawals that I can access with.
They might be going thru their strict rules now and will try to put KYC on every user slowly. I don't disagree with this and I think there might be a larger reason into why they are going thru extreme changes. It might be for the better of their business and user experience. 

I hope it's true. Damn, I don't know if I laugh or what. This is a higher/est level of fantasy, I want to connect with his brain to have the same kind of vision.
Who knows, maybe I can learn something else.

12 years above according to their local rule. All of them should be vaccinated especially the ones in the entertainment industry.
But what if it's a strong religious belief? Will they really force these guys to undergo the vaccination?
It should be respected and management should also have an agreement with them. Perhaps, players could use their own money for their routine testing.

Will there still be joy in playing it if you know the way around?
I think the benefit of playing it is the surprise of winning the jackpot. That's a joy that's could never be faked.
I have played slots before but I got rekt a lot of times so I stopped it. There is no way there could be a cheat in playing it and if it exists I don't think the team behind it would just let it go.

As of experience, I didn't have good stories to tell so I'll keep it.  I think I'd just stick with sports gambling.

They can ban everything in their country but it stops there. They cannot do it worldwide since they don't own the globe.  
They keep on pushing about banning Bitcoin and they did it a long time ago. It's just digging the grave to create sympathy and make people be part of their madness.
Looks to me like they'd do anything even if they stoop so low just to bring down the Bitcoin technology and then offer their self-created cryptocurrency. It's too damn obvious and they want control with multi-billion dollar industry.

It's the new world like you are a zombie if you ain't vaccinated. I think there's a good discussion about this in the politics section.
Now we as sports gamblers will have to list all players that ain't vaccinated yet. More work was added while also listing the injured players for every team.

I don't agree with the mandate but it's to protect every player that accepted the agreement. It won't be fair to them if they will be playing against a team who believes the vaccine will not help while they do.
I think this is also a requirement for the entertainment industry to continue with their business.

It does hurt the budget but we also saved more because we don't really go outside when the pandemic shocked the world.
How come? Expensive kinds of stuff are always bought at malls or shopping centers.
Since we cannot get out anymore (we just don't want to) because of the terrifying illness that might be passed unto us and then with kids we tend to save more by avoiding to eat at fancy restaurants and buy things that we don't really need.
 
But it did hit the water and electric bills because we are now inside the house the whole day.
About food, vegetables and meat products are still okay but it is fruits that hurt my pockets. We want to be as healthy as we could to avoid being sick but it hurts to see that being healthy means you need to be almost rich.
Savings - As said above, when we break down the total amount spent pre-pandemic compared to now, we actually saved more.
