I would just be careful with some sayings on the T-shirts, like "hold Bitcoin, retire early" or "mine your own Bitcoin", because this can be spotted as misleading propaganda. We have to be careful to not give false expectations to other people, as we can't guarantee they are going to retire early if they invest in BTC, since the cryptocurrency is highly volatile on both directions. Moreover, most adopters aren't going to mine their own BTCs, because it's an expensive activity which demands high investment and appropriate infrastructure.

Anyway, it's great to see Bitcoin is being promoted even inside countries where it's still frowned up by authorities.

I think it's too early to say something concrete yet. In my opinion currently results aren't likely to remain stable along the competition. It's really odd to see Botafogo on the top position, winning all the matches, as it is odd as well to see Flamengo beneath, losing more than winning.

The important here is to notice the consistency of each club. Botafogo is an example of team which sometimes show a lot of gas on its performance for a while, but isn't able to keep the rhythm during the whole championship, being overcome later. I say that because Botafogo is my team and that is what I've been observing about them since a long ago...

Due to the currently difficults, everything indicates Bitcoin isn't going to cross the 60,000$ line this year yet. It's a long way to go with low fuel left. The market has to warm first and that is not the kind of thing which happens instantly. We need positive news like the decreasement of interest rates in US and Europe, BTC halving event and other secondary ongoings which can be highlighted on global news, like the rising of BTC adoption or the approval of friendly regulations towards it in different countries.

To start a business with a friend as partnet is a risky deal. You have to trust that person a lot, because there are many variables which can happen on the middle of the way that will impact your business negatively due to your friend: he may lose motivation, deciding to stop working and dumping all the responsabilities and debt on you, he may not fulfill your expectations regards his work on the business, he may start creating disputes with you due to the belief he isn't being fairly valued...

That is why entrepreneurs avoid partners, and stick to employees only. This way they have total autonomy over the people who work with them.

Wow, I was taken by surprise this time. Thankfully I have been checking my threads today and noticed all the images have disappeared within 3 days left to recover everything important (at least the main images). If I didn't, I would have lost track of all my data regards Freebitco.in - FUN Token Investment Experiment. Almost one year of informations on the garbage.

Sadly many secondary images on other posts will be lost forever... But I can't go on each of them recovering the images manually.

By your report I think you did the right thing. You explained about the risks of losing money when investing in BTC, due to the volatility of the market, right? And aware about the risks, your friend still wished to invest in Bitcoin, so he made his own decision, and from that moment on, all the responsability was on his shoulders. You were simply a source of information and knowledge for him, even if in a very basic proportion.

Now he has to seek for more knowledge by himself on his own. That is the natural course of the journey of every Bitcoin adopters. We are firstly introduced by someone, but as soon as the introduction is over, we have to walk by ourselves. Mistakes are part of the process, and in case your friend commit any, you shouldn't feel guilty about that, if you gave him the right advice!

They should, but since they aren't forced to, unfortunatelly their free will points to the shady way of earning easy money by deceiving and betraying the audience, the fans, the sport and their own profession. They show no love, passion or care for the sport they are playing and put money above everything in the world, as their final goal.

I think from now on, athletes will have to pass an 'ethics test' or 'psychological test' before being recruited by teams and leagues, so their personality can be analyzed by professionals beforehand in order to prevent future issues.

That is a common practice by politicians to "cheat" the law and the expected moral behavior by the society. Most sophisticated schemes don't even involve a family member, but a partner, maybe a lobbyist, who works as middleman on the process which will eventually benefit the politician after all. By the law, there are no flaws, although informally we know exactly how the scheme works... As you said, nothing will happen!

I agree with you. It's a simple procedure which doesn't expose sensitive informations such as passwords. Probably they will see his name, account number, banking agency and bank name, within his history of transactions to prove the refund didn't arrive there.

The most important thing here is what casino he is talking about. If it's a reputable platform I would send all the requested data, but if it's a sketchy site I would think twice, because we never know what thieves can do with the informations we provide to them...

The issue is: how can you introduce new people to Bitcoin and promote it without telling them you are a Bitcoin investor? If you close yourself inside a shelter of anonimity, you won't share experiences with other people around you. You limit yourself a lot by not absorbing what they have to teach you, and by not teaching them what you know.

I think there is no issue to tell others you are a Bitcoin enthusiast, and to share ideas with them about this subject. The only thing which isn't advised to do is to tell them how much money you have invested and to never boast an ostensible way of life on your social medias (what is also valid for people who aren't Bitcoin investors). Being discreet, but not lonely or introspective is a more healthy alternative...

That should be expect to happen in Brazil, where corruption is recognized as one of the main traits of the nation, besides the fact sportsbooks are insanely popular right now. If you watch any games on the television you will have an impression the championship is fully sponsored by bet houses, because there are so many of them everywhere! They are on the TV's propagandas, players' uniforms, field's ads, press conference's ads...

There are popular local celebrities and athletes promoting sportsbooks as well. It was just a matter of time until some wicked players started being recruited by scam schemes involving frauds on sports matches. Since they are greedy for money, and for some reason can't improve performance on the field, they appeal to cheatery and illegality. That is the final result: an industry you can't trust anymore...

I see this as an attempt of 'escaping from reality' by the individual, in order to not face the consequences for his own acts. It's like he was creating a parallel reality where he has no faults for the bad things which happen on his life, so he doesn't feel bad with his conscience and life becomes more bearable... However, it's just an illusion. Only truth releases, and to face the consequences for our acts, which often involve to feel the pain for that, is a must towards the cure or total remission of the symptoms. On this matter, the self-control in gambling.

Well, you can still gamble with altcoins using the same amount of fiat you were using before. The difference is that now you will acquire more coins with the same amount of fiat you were used to use before. The bright side is that when you receive your weekly payment from signature campaign, you will receive more coins, so it compensates the extra coins you have to use for now from your currently portfolio, if that is the case.

And if you are worried about the market's volatility during these days, you can exchange your altcoins back to fiat, as soon as your gambling's session ends on the same day.

It's good to play both slots categories to try new games and what the house has to offer originally, but in my opinion the most popular ones are from the third party providers, without any doubts, because those games are more sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. It's not a secret titles like Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza are very popular on the internet when we talk about slots-machines.

Original games tend to be more popular among dice, crash and mines fans.

It's true there is a considerable risk even when investing on solid altcoins, like ETH. In case that is a concern of the investor, the advice is that he sticks his investment to Bitcoin currency exclusively, since it's the most trustful and reputable cryptocurrency among all, which is ranking on top 1 since the beginning of the industry without any predictions of lefting it anytime on the next years and maybe decade...

New capital, as you mentioned, is always a good strategy, what can be executed through the DCA method. Still, you need to predetermine which coins or tokens you are going to acquire.

That is why investors who are looking for solid alternatives of cryptocurrencies to invest should give more attention to the main altcoins of the market, instead of trying to hit a hidden gem hoping it's going to reward them x100 or x1000 in a single investment. The most conservative altcoin is still Ethereum, and there also the stablecoins alternatives plus Binance Coin, in case the investor doesn't get annoyed by the fact their investment will be on the hands of a single exchange's performance...

On the final positions of top 10 there are Solana, XRP, Cardano and Polygon, although I'm not sure if they are able to maintain position or if they are going to be replaced on the following years, because crypto market is really volatile. Personally, I think the most conservative strategy is the best one.

Well, that is what I'm going to do, even though I need to sell some BTC for daily expenses. But I think I can hold on for now, so my money lasts longer and I don't have to sell my coins for now. Besides the fact fees are too expensive, we also have to keep in mind Bitcoin is cheap after the recent crash due to the fees, which dropped BTC from almost 30,000$ to 27,500$ right now. It seems interesting to wait the price to go upside again for profit maximization.

Take a printscreen of the images and record the videos somehow, lol!

As we can see, these NFTs' categories don't even have a reason to exist... And I fear the ones which have a practical usage will always depend on a centralized platform where they can be used to exist. Like a NFT which is a virtual game's item. You need the game platform to use your item (which is a centralized one). But if someday that game is gone, your NFT will be gone as well, since you won't be able to use it anymore in other games.

Maybe if we were talking about a decentralized, open sourced game things could work slight better... But this concept still needs improvement from the industry.

Most people don't know how to start investing in gold, so it's not a very popular investment category. Most people prefer to simply deposit their money at the bank and earn interest on their saving accounts inferior to the inflation rates of their countries. That is a consequence of lack of financial knowledge among the average citizens.

However, thankfully we have Bitcoin investment nowadays, which is accessible to everyone, at the reach of their fingers on any mobile device connected to the internet. That is the most versatile and democratic investment you can make right now with any sum of money thinking on long term returns. I believe Bitcoin has come to give an opportunity for those who don't know how to invest in gold, and therefore couldn't fight inflation without Bitcoin on their lives.

Where some see an issue, others see an opportunity. Bitcoin works in a free market system where autonomous miners can take advantage of the currently expensive fees of the network to put their machines to work. If I had the required equipments and structure, I would be already profiting by confirming transactions on the blockchain and earning a pretty decent reward for that. Anyway, of course others are thinking the same and will put this idea in practice, so you can expect fees to go down soon.
