You could pay your employees directly to their bitcoin wallets but you're still going to pay their taxes and insurrance with fiat money like you'd normally would.

You don't have to worry about them and how they do their taxes. It's not your job to make sure they are abiding the law.

The method of paying employees in cryptocurrency can be unpleasant on the government

The government often makes things unpleasant for us so it's a bit like breaking even Wink

Best practices in this scenario? Practical suggestions? Hints, tips, and pitfall warnings?
What would YOU do to best protect this Bitcoin?

I would buy 2 ledger nano.

Recover the seed in electrum wallet (the old private keys) and send them instantly to my new wallets in ledger nano  (10.5 btc to each). I would keep both seeds saved in a separate place.

The best is to buy a hardware wallet. Do no bothering making a offline wallet, offline computer and all that shit. Too many risks for a too high amount of money. Just pay a few USD in those HW wallet and let the professionals handle its security.

I would do the same although I wouldn't call offline computer risky. It's not hard to do when you have some experience with computers in general.

Using a hardware wallet is more noob friendly because they guyide you by the hend what to do and how.

Just to remind you that ransomware that encrypts files was found to be causing problems with hardware wallets by blocking your ability to access them on the compromised machine.

Personally, I think projects like "SUSHI" don't have real use cases and real utilities. Traders only buy because of hype and instant profit, after the market collapse there are no fundamentals that are able to sustain the price which eventually drops like hell.

99% of all altcoins don't have any utilities and use cases. It's time to wake up.

On one hand I feel like it's not the exchange's fault that the coin team pulled an exit scam. Sometimes you strike a deal with a company and they bail on you. People are different some can be trusted and some can't.

On the other hand they should put more effort into screening these tokens or they'll become another shitcoin exchange like yobit.

The case of Terrance Watanabe is very interesting. He used to gamble all the time and act like an asshole to the casino staff, but they kept being polite to him and allowing him to do all he wanted as long as he paid for it. When he lost all his money he sued them for not stopping him and allowing him to gamble on credit.

I know they took advantage of his addiction but he acted like a child who can't accept the reality. He played around with the big boys, got hurt and went to tell mommy on them.

Until the coronavirus pandemic is officially defeated, until they say that the crisis is over, you should always be ready for Bitcoin to go to 6K.

6 thousand was an opportunity you've just missed this year. If you're bearish you will consider yourself lucky if you manage to buy for 8 ever again.

If will back bitcoin price $5k then i will buy to happy but my opinion this opportunity never possible in this year.

Then it seems like you will never own any Bitcoins Tongue
1786  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Tanks to $10.4K; ETH Market Dominance at 2020 High on: September 06, 2020, 09:28:41 PM
That is no dominance, the fact that ETH continued to go down has been bothering since the moment it hit a certain point it goes down as fast and goes lower than the recent ceiling, thus dominance is rather an absurd word to use I would call it redemption since it is going well at least like it used to, since the moment it hit $1,4k in 2017 it suddenly goes down then in 2019 the highest is $800 then it slowly went downwards and never really had a chance to go back from the same level as those years.

I wrote about dominance in reference to the market cap. It's still dominating the altcoin market despite the losses.
XRP with the second market cap among altcoins barely has 30% of ETH in that matter it is dominance for sure.

We can argue that market cap doesn't mean anything because it really doesn't, but it is an indicator many people watch and one that ranks coins.
1787  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple the next bitcoin? on: September 06, 2020, 08:40:35 PM
Ripple is a good cryptocurrency and they have made lots of achievement so far.
What did they achieve? All I can see is them going down from their ATH of 3 USD to 0.3 USD on this day. And believers were thinking it could trade for 1 USD and sustain it. Smiley

Also they're changing CEOs and board members and promising big partnerships and that's it. They basically did nothing for the last 3 years and the price reflects that.



1788  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can I go into this crypto???? on: September 06, 2020, 07:52:37 PM
You better avoid it, friends, because I just heard about pincoin myself, if you want to invest in cryptocurrency it's better to choose coins that have the potential for long-term investment like the top coins today.

Typical shitcoin with no volume and no rating. Coins that aren't even listed on coinmarketcap and coingecko should be avoided.

If a project can't get itself listed on a decent exchange and is not on the listing sites you know it's a worthless scam. That's all I have to say about this pitiful project.
1789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: All your entertainment things must have an external limiting feature, agree? on: September 06, 2020, 07:40:01 PM
It is good for the gamblers because they will not be allowed to spent over limit on gambling but casino will not be happy with this limiting feature. They want people to spent unlimited money on their casino's and they do not care if people lose all their money in gambling. If this rule is ever implemented, casino's will not agree to it.

It's not about agreeing or not but about common sense. If you set the limit it will always be too high for the averager player and too low for a high roller.

You set the limit at 10 thousand USD most people will never reach it but a high roller can go over it with a single bet and be forced to leave without a second attempt.
1790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem Gambling in the wake of covid-19 on: September 06, 2020, 07:00:56 PM
I barely got 2 points in the test. Not really an addicted gambler I guess Wink

Since we are talking about gambling addiction, I remember this one Canadian physician named Gabor Mate. He has dedicated his life with the study of addiction in general and how different factors, like childhood trauma, tends to make people addictive to something, whether it's drugs, alcohol, tobacco, shopping, and yes, gambling. I am not really that in depth with reading his study but it is quite fascinating to see that he has excluded social factors like interaction between people that help shape one's addiction, and thought of it solely in the mental health aspect.

I've read different studies based on people from poor African countries or Brasil and it looks like your surroundings can affect your addiction. People are social and act like a herd of animals in the way that they watch others and act alike. When you're a young guy growing up in a poor society and all your friends gamble you are going to gamble with them.

1791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there any VR crypto casinos? on: September 06, 2020, 06:47:46 PM
Once the 5G technology become common, we will see a lot of VR casino and it will be fun for sure. But for now, the main issue is the bandwidth. You cannot experience a smooth VR experience online due to 4G/3G Speed internet connection in most places of the world.
Possibly but with so many people opposing 5g around the world it will take some time. It's not going to happen this year for sure.

VR is a good idea but it's still too early. The gear is expensive and for now mostly gamers buy these things. Most users don't have access to VR and prefer gambling anywhere like in a hotel room. They're not going to take VR gear with them to work or school, but they can take a phone, a tablet or a laptop.
1792  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How Cryptocurrency rates especially BTC Fluctuate so quickly? on: September 06, 2020, 04:41:37 PM
Especially BTC? you should see some altcoins.

In the last 24h Bitcoin lost only 0.28% but XRP 2.7% and EOS almost 4%. Bitcoin usually is the most stable cryptocurrency Wink

There are many reasons but I'd blame fake volume on exchanges, fake USDt buy orders, low liquidity and bot trading among many other.
1793  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Tanks to $10.4K; ETH Market Dominance at 2020 High on: September 06, 2020, 04:31:53 PM
As I see, BTC is following the stockmarket trajectory this time. The markets are down too. Just brace yourself and HODL

Exactly. I must have repeated this at least 5 times in different threads where clueless people were writing stupid questions like "is bitcoin dying?" or "did the whale manupulate the market?".

The stock market regained a lot after the corona crash and people are taking profits now especially since a second wave of corona is expected to appear. Bitcoin was rejected at 12k and is not strong enough to ignore stocks and go up.

ETH might be high in dominance but it still falls when Bitcoin falls. It's too weak to ignore Bitcoin like all other major altcoins.

ETH went down from $480 to $350 so it lost more than BTC. How is that a strong, dominant coin?
1794  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC is Going to "DEAD....!" Need Discussion..... on: September 06, 2020, 04:24:25 PM
It's not going to die because you say so. I'm yet to see at least one sign of it dying. A 10% drop in value on a tradable asset is not a sign of dying.

I agree with you. He seemed frustrated regarding the Bitcoin price, so maybe he is losing profits right now? Nonetheless, Bitcoin has been presumed to be dead long before. But it hasn’t and it won’t, because many are still into it and believe on it. Bitcoin is not at fault for the existence of scammers here, scammers will always do their ventures whenever and wherever possible.

Just look how we've evolved in the last 5 years. Not long ago people were frustrated because Bitcoin was below 5000 USD and now they complain about going from 11 to 10 thousand.

Hopw can anyone be frustrated about 10 thousand dollar Bitcoin is beyond my understanding.

1795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What area of bitcoin participation is easiest to work with? on: September 06, 2020, 04:18:34 PM
Is bounty hunting for Bitcoin even a thing?

Many people are involved in mining, but more in mining altcoins because it's cheaper. Bitcoin mining is viable only in a few locations around the world or with big money invested, like with those people who bought a power plant in the US for the purpose of mining.
1796  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's your trading strategy? on: September 05, 2020, 09:51:18 PM
What I like to do is wait for big moves. I basically do nothing when there's a swing up or down below 10%. I wait for bigger swings of at least 12% or long bear markets where I wait for at least 60% loss. Then I patiently wait for a swing up.

In case of a bear market buy I wait for at least 50% bounce back before I sell anything and in case of a swing I wait for a profit of preferably 20%. If I don't get it I can wait for a year for it to finally happen. I've got time.
1797  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What the heck is happening to bitcoin! on: September 05, 2020, 09:43:16 PM
Its a clear manipulation, however this happening on bitcoins price is an opportunity to buy bitcoin and some of the alts which was affected thier price on sudden bitcoin price drop.

You're joking, right? Stocks have dropped, we had a head and shoulders pattern on the charts that usually suggests a drop, we held a really good level of 11000 for 2 months and the price couldn't hold 12000 after many attempts.

There's nothing wrong with a red candle especially in an asset that is being produced every day by miners. They were holding in August because there was a chance of a pump but can't hold. THey have bills to pay.

It's not the end of Bitcoin.
1798  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much have you earned in one year on: September 05, 2020, 09:05:32 PM
As,the question is very personal and none will say the exact amount.But the point you shared about the pandemic;surely,it is a thoughtful matter and also a learning point.So,it will be  a very well lesson for them to do something the for the next.

Why not? It's not that personal. If you asked me how much all my coins are worth it could ba a bit personal. How much I've earned in a year is not.

About 0.4 BTC from my signature campaign which is public knowledge if you check the statistics of each participant. I've also made close to 0.1 BTC from trading and some dust from other sources like airdrops, participating in surveys, referral bonuses and such - maybe 0.01 or less.
1799  Economy / Speculation / Re: This time when the stock market crashes, Bitcoin will go to moon! on: September 05, 2020, 08:52:34 PM

Kind of looks like the beginning of something. As usuall crypto follows the stocks down with more volatility.

I've read some predictions that stocks are currently overbought and many traders expect a correction. If we get another wave of corona in Autumn this really might happen.
1800  Economy / Speculation / Re: empire market exit scam = caused the price to drop yesterday? on: September 05, 2020, 08:43:54 PM
When will people start to learn that holding your coins on these black markets usually leads to police seizures or scams?

It's interesting how some people blame a raid on a Korean exchange, some others blame Bitcoin mining pools and in reality it was the stock market that took us with it once again just like it did in March.
