I do absolutely believe that Elon Musk has a major role in the price of Bitcoin reaching $100k. His social media presence and influence is proof that when he sends out a couple of Tweets people pay attention.
People also saw the price of Tesla stocks rising creating more believers and reaching more followers. His role in the crypto market has a huge impact on many of his followers that invest in Tesla.
When Elon Musk rumored that Tesla would accept Bitcoin as a means of purchasing, it was the moment I believe catapulted him in front of a new and broader audience.

That’s the main point that many should focus on . But sadly no major altcoin other than ETH seems to be surviving. When the big boss Bitcoin is struggling, how can these even move up in the graph? People are afraid to buy Bitcoins in this bear market, so definitely they might have forgotten the altcoins. Nevertheless we should keep a watch on the top 10 coins at coinmarketcap. These coins have great marketcap and will definitely rise in the next bull run. Let’s hope for positivity in every aspects.

How long can you hold it in an investment for? If its money you don't need then it's better to invest then not but if you don't have much in assets you might be able to invest it elsewhere and get a more stable return (as crypto is still emerging imo).

It's hard to imagine how bitcoin will reach $300k by 2024. I mean what kind of investors or news will be the catalyst for it to soar that high. There are no signs yet of global adoption and government are still skeptic about considering it as an asset. Breaking its current ATH at $69k is what I think probable to happen on the next bull cycle.

Price is a very important parameter of bitcoin which can satisfy its purpose. So both goes hand in hand and shouldn't have less priority above another. An electronic peer to peer cash system is fine, but unless a price tag is attached, what you will transact and how you will determine value? Without a price tag, it's simply impossible to transfer value using bitcoin. So price is very important factor which can satisfy its purpose of become and store of value. Nothing else will!

Because many people don't understand how the market works. The big players never buy at the top of the market or during the ATH, but instead lock in profits. Newcomers do the opposite. Big players always buy during panic sales and actively use a hoarding strategy. Beginners do the opposite, they maximize their selling during sell-offs and buy nothing. This psychology works in all financial markets.

I think you should follow your interests and what interests you.
Each of the forum members is different and is interested in a different aspect of the crypto industry.
Are you more interested in technology, business, or maybe you just want to meet crypto enthusiasts from your local area?
Only you know the answer to these questions, and accordingly you will choose the part of the forum that suits your interests.
Personally, I believe that investments should be diversified, not personal interests 
No one can follow all areas and be an expert in everything.

It is the one that gave way to the emergence of the term altcoins. If bitcoin haven't come into existence, there could've never been any altcoins. There is a need for a platform that has the ability to eliminate the third party involvement.

Satoshi tossed it through the innovative blockchain technology. Through this Bitcoin blockchain got developed and started to stay dominant in the market. Following bitcoin we started to see the development of more number of altcoins. This is the reason why bitcoin have got high influence over other cryptocurrencies.

Please don't make make a thread to lure a newbie to invest in shitcoins, if they're only look on the percentage without doing a research they will say ETH and BNB are better than Bitcoin because ETH and BNB price is surge higher than Bitcoin, also ETH and BNB didn't loss too much like Bitcoin. The main factor is the date that the @OP use, he's choosing a particular date that make BTC performance isn't in good condition.

What can I say if the project who make the biggest ROI and it's survive for around 14 years is only Bitcoin.

I would never compare a forum to social networks. Posting pictures is one of the dumbest things to do. Waiting for likes is the same. A lot of people on the forum want privacy, don't they? What connects the forum with social networks?
Just come here with an open mind. If you see a useful and good post, give it merit. If you know the answer to the question, share your vision.
In the case of the OP, think about what you now have to say. Would it be really bright, or does it look like pouring water from a full bucket into an empty one?

I have read more than five (5) posts on this forum where users celebrate accepting bitcoin as a payment option for their business. Outside of the forum, we have read news of companies such as Microsoft, Home Depot, Twitch, Whole Foods, Gyft, Benfica accepting bitcoin as a payment. The question that has been on my mind for quite a long time is that-at what point do you think a business should start accepting bitcoin as a payment option, considering profit margin, price stability, and manipulation from exchanges?

Sorry to say, but I've never won anything significant while gambling. I'm not a good gambler, but I do love to play. I've won some money in the past, but it was never more than $100. I would love to win something big, but it just doesn't happen to me.

Let's say you join a give away with other user and both have to select a number between 1 and 10, you go for 7 while he goes for 9. The winning number is 8.

If the prize is 0.1BTC what would you do? Split the prize and walk away with 0.05 or Reroll to gamble for the full prize?

I think he will win it. The fact that the company is offering him money means there is legitimacy in his claim, there must be proofs of his win that's why he won't budge at the offers given to him. Now, the gambling company will have more problems after he wins this case.
Reputation is first. Instead of just paying the man, they took the risk of going this far so now their business will be in danger too.

I have not experienced this yet and I wish to never do.
Why do they do it? Well, when it's about the money anything can be done. But sadly, in this case, they are not looking at long term profits.

Gather all the pieces of evidence, screenshots of all your pieces of evidence, and post the complaint here and on all the other platforms, if they have an announcement here with an active representative, the community can pressure the representative to address the issue.
A high-rated casino cannot ignore your accusation as long as your complaint is legit and you have not cheated because it will ruin their reputation, gamblers will stop playing here and new players will stop coming in, gamblers have Bitcointalk to thank they have a good venue to post their accusations.

In the end you need to provide your personal information in life for anything that involves huge amount of money.

*When you open a bank account.
*When you buy a house or a car.
*When you win the lottery.
*When you pay taxes.
*When you win a huge amount in the casino.

It's what happens when you become an adult, and we haven't to be afraid of that because we are not doing any illegal stuff.

Gambling for me are not about profit.... because I gamble for entertainment. So I will simply leave the money that I won ..on the casino to continue gambling. Yes, when I win something huge... I will withdraw a small amount to treat my family and friends or to buy something nice.... but the majority of the winnings stay on the casino. 

                             That is why they say... "If you do not quit when you win big.. the house always win"

I'd rather do it during the registration so I would know if I can comply with the requirements that they will be asking rather than do it during the withdrawal or deposit process where there will be a chance for them to hold my funds. There are already some casinos that ask for KYC during registration and as epr my experience, there's nothing wrong or risk on it as long as we are choosing right casinos with good reputation.

Any amount that his girlfriend says would be a reasonable amount to give since it's her money and he stole it so I feel like the guy doesn't have a favorable situation here even though he managed to multiply her money by a lot.

For the other story, i'd abandon the training or look for other ways to replace your boss since it's not worth the effort when you have that kind of boss who would suddenly decide to have a share in your winnings.

Accept the result. There's no point in forgetting it but rather it's good to take that as experience to become a better gambler. How can we even enjoy doing relax if we are at a big loss? Maybe we will be happy for quite some time but after that when we got home, the sad feeling will be back again. For me, just accept the loss calmly as it will just pass away.

Next time, do our best not to experience that bad loss again.
