I think that having Bitcoin might be a good investment but calling it a safe haven might be over exaggeration. We all know how volatile Bitcoin is and how it may be up one hour then it will be down on another. This needs sound mental faculties and lots of patience and discipline if you want to reach your goals of financial independence on cryptocurrency. Surely you can call Bitcoin a safe haven once you have cashed out your millions.
Oh it's not just an exaggeration, it's flat out lie. Nothing is 100% safe, and calling something so volatile as BTC safe is just wishfull thinking. Can it become safe and reliable (stable)? Yes, but that takes time, and effort from us the users. |

I think the sig campains is why new people that come to the forum mostly have the idea that this is a money making platform. And it's the same way with crypto in general, people see it as a way to make money, not participate in a social and economic experiment that was designed to be. The forum is first and foremost a platform for learning and exchangeing ideas.

I kinda wish OP would say he got into BTC because the philosophy behind it and the social experiment it brings with it, but you can always get into that later on. But BTC can definatelly help also in your day to day finances and it can be a benefit in the long run.

I can't really imagine why would the US think of such a dumb plan with no real end goal. Even if the real target was the father, what would that acomplish. So no, it definatelly was not the US, I am sure they can pick better targets.
As for what she said or didn't say, she was just a dimwit pushing hard on her fathers idiotic concepts, so even if she didn't say this, she said other stupid shit. Does she deserve to die for that? No. But hey, I couldn't care less either way.

I had a feeling that Edwards would upset Nigerian nightmare this night. First the odds (4 on Edwards) looked very high to me. Come on, top2 fighter of division and only 4. Then I had a feeling that kicks are the solution against Usman. And Edwards knows how and when to throw them. Punches are dangerous against Usman, wrestling is also a no. Edwards is left with kicks. But I saw him winning by point after gaining them from successful kick. Turned out that one of his kicks was more successful than others  But I see a lot of troubles in defending this belt. Covington - hello wrestling and unlimited gas tank. Chimaev - I better wish Edwards a lot of luck. We gonna see new fighter in pound-for-pound soon. Doubt that this is gonna be Edwards, as he is not in a list. Volkanovski on top1 ? Lol. What makes it even more funny, Leon Edwards is not a knockout artist. Only one knockout in 14 UFC fights. And he knocks out best p4p fighter. Double lol. Usman has never been knockout in his career - gets KOed by a guy who does not have knocking power and usually wins by decision. Triple lol. Edwards got people dissmising him after the 'three piece and a soda' incident with Masvidal. However, unlike Masvidal, Edwards took the longer route and took his time gradually leting people know that he would be a problem. I can't say that in a rematch he would be able to retain the belt, but god damn that would be interesting to watch. |

ok, but who will force Putin to a tribunal? In the past those kinds of things happened when opposing forces completly surendered and their countries governments overthrown. I don't se a scenario where that would take place in modern Russia. He could suffer political death in his own country, but I doubt he will ever face any trials.

I remember protests in the last financial crisis (2008), and in all honesty, it did nothing. The only thing we got from it was BTC, and that wasn't really connected to actual protests. I am not saying that protests don't have their place, but regarding the financial crises, they have almost no impact.

BTC adoption in the future will have to come at a cost of some core values BTC has. There will have to be some give for some get, and the major thing is government regulations that would give more security towards users. And that will come as more transparency.

Not a chance in hell Russia could be the next superpower. For all comparisons the US is still ahead of Russia in that department. Russia has neither the economic, military or cultural power to do so. China would be the likely candidate for the next dominant superpower and the best thing Russia can hope for is to piggyback of Chinas push for supremacy.

The Ukranian government wouldn't have much of a reply to nukes. However, using tactical nukes would create such an strong oposition in Ukraine towards anything remotly Russian, that it would ve imposible for the ocupators to hold the Ukranian territory in any capacity. And no amount of paperwork would makw the Ukranians accept the Russians anymore. That ship has sailed.

Once a month or less and and twice a month having the most results is surprising actually. I would think that most still consider btc to be a store of value, rather than a day to day curency. If things are changing in favor of actually using BTC rather than just storing it, than we might overcome some issues that have been looming over it (and acusations that btc is just a speculation commodity).

Polarization does not mean civil war. Their first (and only) civil war was not because polarization, but rather a fundamental cultural divide and economic issues. While it seems that those issues are present today, they are nowhere near as they were back then.

This really isn't anything new in business, and tech is no exeption. Companies need to hit predicted marks promised to their shareholders (or else they are the ones to blame) and they will do it by any means. Remember kids, in capitalism, the one that exploits your work for his benefit without the consideration for your wellbeing, is not your friend.

I don't see any indicators that this would be the end of crypto. Even if it is the end of a certain cryptocurency, it wouldn't be the end of crypto as a whole, just the end of crypto as we know it. Crypto can adapt and evolve, and it will have to in order to stay relevant. And even if it falls to it's lowest, it will still be something of interest for enthusiasts.

Blockchain is still function on the basis of 'throw everything towards it and see what sticks', so it's not a surprise that tech companies are diverting some money that way to see if they could be the first at the next big thing. An if anyone can throw money around, it's foogle and their parent company.

The global economy is much more intricate than just the minetary side of it, and even with that, crypto will only be one of the options, not the only option. So the impact on economy in general won't be much. In time it could make some things shift around, but givernment acceptance dosen't equate to usage by people, and that's what moves the needle the most.

Crypto used for FIAT money laundering has been going on since early 2010, but it's also been going with everything else, investing in stocks, business, gold, you name it. So the issue of laundering is not a crypto problem, it's a money problem in general, and whether we like it or not, BTC can't escape it nor it can stop it or regulate it. At least not that I am aware of.

I would like to think that these kinds of warnings should be general knowledge and redundant, alas, they are not and should be repeated frequently. These are not just advice for crypto but for general life. What amplifies this issue is that a lot of people are still internet illiterate so to speak, and that should be the first step in educating people on how to handle themselves online i whatever situation.

"Save the earth", "Save the Ocean", "Save the forests", "The earth is bleeding" etc are very common phrases we come across in this century. What is funny is that humans aren't even looking at saving themselves (like "Save the humans" ) except shelling the shit out of ourselves in the name of wars based on egos of our leaders. From what I see, The earth doesn't give a damn on whether we try to save it or not. We found the Earth here, and we shall probably go extinct at one point and leave it behind, just like the dinosaurs are now a distant history to it. The earth will always heal no matter what. All this "Save the earth" projects or themes won't make sense if a random asteroid came from nowhere and hit our planet, wiping out everyone. I think our priorities are misplaced. We should be looking at saving each other, avoid pointless wars and survive peacefully. Lemme then gives a counterargument to that, why would we save the humans, if we are all going today anyway? What would be the point? Why procreate if you basically just give birth to someone on a death sentence? The earth itself might not care for us, but its unique conditions (and yes, since we haven't seen many examples besides earth, they are somewhat unique, at least to our solar system) ''cared'' enough to give us a chance to form and evolve, so by caring for the planet would be caring for something that is not ours (we did not make it, therefore, we are not permitted to destroy it, we are not the Gods of 'it'), but gave birth to us, no matter if we as a species outlive it in whatever form or condition. I hope I made that clear enough. |
