Skills, work ethics and values are important and those are real essential deals that are needed by a certain individual in this world. Yes, it is indeed that money is a must have but money is not all that it takes for there are essential things in this world that cannot be bought by money. Also, how can you say so that school education is becoming so pointless when education is a must thing to have because if you are educated, you can do anything and build up essential skills to survive this world. If you would just be concern on just having money without any skills and knowledge then all of those money would become worthless for you would just get easily be fooled and it would be senseless if you do have money but cannot manage to make use of it properly because you do not have certain skill and knowledge to do so.

It was really kinda difficult to turn negative thoughts into positive once most specially if you have lost a loved one and have directly been affected by the effects brought by this pandemic but it is true that we must keep moving forward and get ready to continue life even if it is very hard because it was not easy to cope up after experiencing real challenges most specially at these times. We certainly all need motivation to keep going and to boost up our moral that we must continue to get into our lives even if our lives have really suffered during this pandemic. Motivations are really a must have thing for emotional and mental health have also put into stake while dealing on this pandemic not just physical health all along. We do really must keep ourselves motivated so we can have chance to recover and make our lives better while and even after this pandemic.

Actually such happenings on the Indian economy that is brought by the existence of this covid-19 pandemic is also present on the other economy of the countries around the world which were directly affected by the rising cases of infected cases by the pandemic. Many countries like India have also been suffering and facing struggle at this times due to the reason that certain works are being temporarily postponed in accordance to the implementing health protocols making working spaces to close temporary to prevent the further potential of the spread of virus that have a direct effect on the economy of the country. Maybe all countries have been experiencing the same struggle but for a country like India, this might be made more difficult to be handled on which country's economy is really having a hard time to have a recovery if ever this pandemic would end soon.

The barriers are certain and varies depending upon the location you were up to because there are certain countries who have issues in legalization of using Bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency as a whole which is the main and number one barrier you can meet that will certainly prohibit you from obtaining and using any kind of cryptocurrencies even Bitcoin. There are also some cases that Bitcoin is legally used but cannot be used as payment option due to some matters. There are also cases like there is difficulty on adapting which leads to the lack of accessibility on which you have obtained Bitcoin but cannot use it directly for payment options because it is still not massively adapted so you need to still convert it into national or local currency before you can use it for payment methods. Those were some but the most common barriers I know and the last one I have stated is my current situation and barrier I am experiencing for many people do know about crypto but are afraid to get engage which makes us have difficulty on doing mass adaption leading to lack of accessibility on using our Bitcoins directly as payment options.

This is sincerely right. All of those that have been stated by on the 8 Laws of Bitcoin is definitely good and this must be known by the other members most specially the new ones so that they could familiarize themselves on the ideas that they must learn about to avoid getting caught up by those hackers and scammers who are taking the advantage on the weaknesses of the new individuals who were just starting to build up their own Bitcoin pathway towards success.

All of the laws stated are indeed the basic ones but still one of the important concepts that must be known and not to be skipped for there are certain people who skip this simple ideas thinking that they can already stand on their own. Admit that you still must learn something for you do not certainly know anything. Be teachable and accept the fact that even simple things can save you up on any situation since the basic things in life are the important concepts that people mostly taken for granted.

The country and the government of Germany is just doing the right thing that must be done on tracking down and shutting down those illegal and unregulated Bitcoin ATMs for this is done for the sake and welfare of its people not to get victimized by scam because certain regulations are being implemented in the country to keep a safe track of those licensed to operate Bitcoin ATM because if you are really sincere on providing services why would you not get your Bitcoin ATM be registered for legalization so that the government will know the authenticity of your operation.

This must be known by the operators that even out of Bitcoin premises, any businesses and operations that are intended to serve people must be legalized to prove its regularity based on the standardized protocols that is on the law basically to protect the welfare of the people. Shutting down those illegal Bitcoin ATMs and doing operation against the regulation is just right to be closed until they come up providing needed legalization to resume their service operations.

If I would also be having the same chance of sharing my knowledge about Bitcoin on my class just like what the OP have achieved, then it would be a great pleasure on my part because in some sense I would act like a voice or representative to present Bitcoin into those people who have not known anything about Bitcoin yet and be an eye opener for them to further understand what Bitcoin really is apart from the things they are hearing around which most likely are against the reality about Bitcoin.

I salute the OP for making such spot light on sharing about Bitcoin for it is a small step yet a big action towards better understanding about Bitcoin specially to those who were just new from it.

We are now seeing the negative impact that the humanities have brought up directly into the nature where we supposedly getting all of our needs for the daily basis. We have totally become abusive on our natural resources and as a result is the showcasing of how those actions is now affecting our surroundings. The advancement of people's lives have brought up making our daily lives got easier but at the same time is having a negative effect on the nature. We must come up into a better and long lasting solution that will resolve the problem we have right now before it gone even worst like famine which this thread have been discussing.

We must used up the advancement to build up greater solutions because if we will not do such, we will just remain on the influence of technology but the nature would be at stake. The climate change is literally affecting us all most specially the nature for the normal cycle of how weather and climate have changed making the nature have a difficulty to adjust and causing the natural phenomenon to happen destructing natural resources.

I agree that there is no really a shortcut to be done to better understand Bitcoin but if you can let other people understand Bitcoin by gaining their interest first with some sort of short information about it, surely they would get curious to get to know more and get into deep information leading to better understanding what Bitcoin really is. There are certain technicalities and complexities on learning Bitcoin but that would be on the deeper level already. It is enough to create shortcut for them to easily understand Bitcoin and to have first impression and gaining of interest before going deep into the core of information.

Research and experience are really great teachers for a technology based like Bitcoin that is continuously improving, learning will never stop.


This is certainly right. It might take years for those who are not eager to learn Bitcoin but since there is already an availability of resources of informations on the internet and even in the forum, it would just take quite sometime to do researching just to have a better understanding about it.

It is just right and a must thing to do to take up some precautionary measures such as educating yourself by doing thorough research whenever you are up into something that is just new for you like trading before doing engagement to avoid bad things to come up like getting caught by scammers and hackers because they would surely take advantage of your innocence in this industry and make themselves powerful to conquer your mind so being knowledgeable enough would save you up from such possibilities to happen.

Always think that you are dealing and staking with a real money and your aim is to make profit so you must equip yourself with essential knowledge you can use such as knowing the basics on how to do trading to be able to do necessary actions on how to come up gaining profit and not to gain loss because of doing wrong stuffs. Knowledge is your greatest weapon and power that you must have on doing trading so that you can justify that what you are doing is leading to a right path of the way going to success and not the other way around.

Such advices by the OP are pretty much helpful most specially for the starters or those who are new in trading and wanted to make their own path of journey on doing trades so they must find this thread a basic start up point of learning before doing engagement on trading.


It might be right that older traders do know better compared to the new ones but remember the new ones can be good as them too with proper guidance and with the help of doing thorough research and as well as with their own experiences on doing trades because there might be new discovery on trading that they will come up on providing new approach that can also be helpful to the new batch of traders that will enter the market. But still it is indeed that older traders do know more about and they have got it from lots of experience doing trading.

It is indeed that patience and presence of mind is needed in this kind of work for you must not be easily pissed off to avoid doing unnecessary actions like doing impulsive decisions brought and driven by emotional attachment. Presence of mind to weigh the situation and see both sides of the scenario to be able not to get stressed out when you experience loss and make bad happenings into a great opportunity of learning to do things right in the future trades you will have.

This will be a good step and opportunity for the entrance of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to be used on gambling sites as long as they won't get along into illegal casino sites that might cause for even cryptocurrencies to get banned by the government to be used on playing online gambling games.

There could be a good possibility that there will be a surge on the part of the Bitcoin casinos in Germany as long as they would be on the safe side which is not against the wants of the government to practically continue doing transactions to be able to continuously have a gambling experience online powered by cryptocurrency. The Bitcoin casino owners must just stick into the legal matters to avoid getting banned and be prohibited by the government so they must avoid negative linking of tolerating doing illegal transactions and just keep up on the safe side to make opportunity for a surge on Bitcoin casinos be made on the country of Germany.

I haven't bumped into any casinos that supports VR gaming experience but I have already read a thread here in the forum about the possibility of having a VR casino gambling experience on which I have stated that it would be pretty much exciting and I wanted to experience having such great opportunity of playing casino games through a VR most specially at times like this that we are stuck inside our homes for the reason that the pandemic is still on and the casino establishments are temporarily closed and we have no choice but just to play through online gambling sites.

I haven't tried searching if there is really any casinos that supports VR gaming experience but if there really is, then that was really good and awesome. I wish that I could also experience the thing of playing gambling using VR.

Let me just put it in correct manner, MGCQ stands for (Modified General Community Quarantine) which is a much better version of GCQ for some restrictions are being modified so that somehow people can move freely on certain adjustments but still with the concern of exhibiting the health protocols to prevent the further spread of the virus.

Back to the discussion, I guess the OP belongs to the country Philippines for he have mentioned about cock fighting which is one of the most common gambling games that adults and even teenagers are playing mostly on the parts of province. The government have already clarified certain protocols that includes no mass gathering and temporary postponement or cancellation of gambling games and events to avoid the possibility of spreading the virus due to crowd. It is just that there are certain people who is really hard headed and cannot take anymore their boredom that is why they keep on abiding what is stated on the protocols making them to pay a fine. Fines are not being made to make them suffer but to make them be afraid of paying a large amount of payment for not following the rules. But due to being hard headed, still lots of people are doing what they want and if got infected always do blame on the government for the act they have personally done. In an obvious manner, it is not worth risking your health for the sake of betting on a cock fighting event for what you can win will be just used as a payment for doing what is against the rule so in short it is useless and nonsense.

I have already read of some thread here in the forum about Fortnite betting which is another E-Sport that share the same concept with Valorant so I think that it could be possible in the future that betting in E-Sports would be pretty much popular just like the traditional sports that we do know. I have already been playing Valorant this days and I do really have a fun and enjoyable gaming experience and the intensity would be added once betting would be linked into the gaming proper.

The answer to the question if I would consider betting with Valorant, yes of course. You were like hitting two birds on one stone for enjoyment and the possibility of winning the bet is at stake. I would surely enjoy and love betting on E-Sports more likely just what like I have when I am betting on traditional sport events.

I think that was certainly an allegation and no certain proof to support that covid-19 is being placed as a smoke to cover the debts that the government have. It is just that the strict implementation of the health protocols are being executed is to prevent the spread of the virus and to manage the rising numbers of the infected cases of individuals that a certain country is having for there is still no cure to end up this pandemic. There is no distinct and proven relationship that the debts of the government are being covered up by implementing strict health protocols. The strict implementation are done because it is in need and the call of the situation.

Maybe strict protocols are being held to manage the possibility of having more debts because if the infectious rate would be manage as early as possible, then there is no certain need to borrow money from bigger nations to support health related expenses. But that does not certainly intended to cover up the debts that the government have committed.

The OP have a point on why online gambling sites must be legalized by the government for they will benefit from the revenue coming from it and will secure the welfare of its players although it would be centralized. But that would be fine for at least online gambling would be legalized and the security and welfare would be prioritized since the government is on track of those online gambling websites to prohibit money laundering cases.

But still the legalization of the existence of online gambling websites would still be dependent on the certain country and its government for there are government that have a different perception and outlook towards gambling sites that it might be prone to scammers since those kind of people are already part of the system. But maybe if they would duly understand the importance of legalizing online gambling sites specially at times like this that casino establishments are temporarily close and to be able for revenues to come, convenience playing could be offered via online gambling websites, maybe they would consider allowing its legalization.

This was a good thing indeed that usage of cryptocurrencies are starting from the great leaders of two different countries which I think will create a great impact between two countries and would influenced their country men to get along on using cryptocurrencies as well if they would legalize it and would massively adapt the usage of cryptocurrencies on their countries. Such action is already a great move or we can say a small spark to start up getting ready for a massive adaptation of using cryptocurrencies. Actually it sound new to me that cryptocurrencies are being served as presents on an occasion and to think it was between two great leaders. This was just pretty nice for they are showing interest of making good use of cryptocurrencies and I am looking forward to see a greater improvement on cryptocurrency usages on both Lithuania and Estonia.

Minding other people's mindset with regards to what they should think or see despite of the existing situation and crisis brought by the pandemic seems to be rude and manipulative. We are not on the same situation in this pandemic so you cannot just easily say that those people that cannot see a positive view of seeing opportunity despite what is happening is already having are already weak in mind. It is just that we are having different situations and the situation for those individuals who are directly affected by the effects of pandemic namely those that belong on lower classes cannot be tolerable already since suffering is what they can gradually see and feel as well as experience instead of opportunities.

You cannot blame such individuals to keep on complaining for they are the ones who are affected and not you. We are not on the same position to practically say that they are having a weak mind. Actually they are the strongest because they tend to have an optimistic view in life when it comes to surviving this situation despite of the very difficult scenario they are currently into. The pandemic have different effect on the different social classes in the society, if you see this pandemic as an opportunity, then maybe you belong to the middle to upper social classes to state such things. But if would only experience how hard it is on the lower class, you would understand how they feel why they keep on complaining for that is the best thing they could do to caught the attention of those in the position to give help to those individuals.

The main thing that is concern of being a cons of getting cashless is always the issue about the threat of being hacked due to the reason the money will become digitalized which I think can be managed and be resolved by providing tight security features on the device not to be accessed by anyone and of course only doing transaction into trusted individuals and online stores and logging into a safe website to secure your account. Other thing is the accessibility of people in a certain place to go cashless for not all are capable of adapting and using digital money for they are being reliant on fiat money which can also be managed but would take time and a lot of effort to do such as having mass adaptation of using digital money to go cashless providing all individuals would be capable to adjust and adapt on using it. It would take years for sure to be able for that thing to happen but if that will be managed, I think every individuals can go cashless.

With the current pandemic we have faced and still currently been battling up to now, we have seen that there is an essential benefit that going cashless can provide since there is a potential spread of virus that can be gained for using physical money since it is a direct contact transaction with a certain individual. Going cashless is a futuristic idea that is really hard to be massively and widely implemented.
