I am an atheist and I would like to offer my opinion here.
Religion was never meant for spirituality. It was all about ways to live a life. Spirituality comes from within and it's your inner calling that has no relation with the religion. Unfortunately, billions of people believes in religion and it impacts their lives both in a good and in a bad way.
Till now, I have not seen a single Muslim nation approved cryptocurrency as a legal tender. But at least Indonesia spoke about it and gave a reason for not approving it.
But when a large group of people believes that an ancient book written thousands of years ago can decide their way of life better than science and technology, you can only say that it's unfortunate!
But in a free world, it's an individual choice whether to follow the teachings of religion or to progress with time. You and I can't do anything!

Instead of btc they would just started using stablecoins. Btc is not and never will be suitable for payments. Neither will be eth/ tron ltc.. they are just digital gold reserveres once the banks start more usdt adoption then surely they will need digital gold such us btc they will need it most. Btc are just digital gold (and its backing up usdt) you cant just mint usdt...it will inflate like a current fiat money. For paymemts always good stablecoins.
I agree with you statement! Where regular payment is concerned, stablecoins are always better, faster and cheaper! But USDT has a reputation issue. They are claiming that their coins are backed by USD at 1:1 ratio but they have never tried to prove that neither thye have done any auditing. So I am not sure why El-Salvador is opting for USDT. But I understand it's a decision taken by the government as bitcoin adoption didn't go as intended. So let's see how this pans out!

What do you think of meme coins?
Absolute nonsense! When the crypto market is going on a growth trajectory, these meme coins are actually eating out investments which could have been flowed into actual cryptos with a plan for the future. Meme coins are bad for the market. Remember one thing, there's no shortcut to get rich! These meme coins will eventually be wiped out from the market when the hype around it stabilizes. So don't waste time around these nonsense coins.

Staking is a great way to earn passive income. I am eagerly waiting for ETH to move to POS algorithm so that I can stake those and earn a return. Otherwise whatever ETHs I have earned from various ICOs back in 2017-18 period are just sitting idle.
I am not sure about the platform you have mentioned so wouldn't talk about that. But if you are a crypto investor with long term mindset, staking is the best way to move ahead so that you accumulate and earn a fixed passive income out of it. Definitely better than POS because you won't need any specialized hardware and expensive electricity bills.

Lol! Cryptocurrency market is a parallel ecosystem so it absolutely makes no sense to replicate the mainstream economic structure into the crypto market. Stablecoins are definitely needed but no so much that it overtakes bitcoin. Crypto market is all about free market where the price of an asset is driven by the market demand. Whereas stablecoins are driven by the value of its underlying assets.
In my language, we have a saying that - Baap baap hota hain!
Bitcoin will remains as the Baap of all cryptos till the time cryptos remain alive. Doesn't matter what the founder of a centralized currency thinks!

When Jeremy purchased Pizzas back in 2010, bitcoin was not a known name like it is today. So he is glad that he was able to spend bitcoin for a real world item back in 2010. In many interviews Jeremy said that he doesn't regret about that purchase. Obviously he would have become a multi millionaire by now, but back in 2010, Jeremy surely didn't expect that to happen!
But now many people know that bitcoin is an accumulation game. The more you can accumulate, the better the future would be! The adoption is increasing day by day and today's price of bitcoin will look like a dream 2 years down the line. People who are thinking that bitcoin is too costly, would regret for not buying! That's the game and I welcome you to the arena.

It is know that Facebook is trying to reinvent itself, wash its image and becoming a more powerful business. And it is the right strategy, because contrary to other business such as online retail (Amazon), internet searches and sales (Google) or electric cars (Tesla), social networks are more susceptible to ageing customers and trends in the young. However, rumors say that they may actually enter into the betting arena by implementing gambling and gaming for money in the future Metaverse of Facebook. What do you make of this?
I can bet against this rumor! Facebook will never enter gambling market directly or indirectly. Yes, they may bring some "play to earn" game and possibly enter into NFT market, but not in gambling. Facebook has already seen many battles to safeguard their reputation and gambling is actually perceived negatively in the society. So they will never engage into such business. Not in our lifetime. I am not sure from where did you hear such rumors.

At first, the headline elicited a "what?"
Then I read this:
"Swedish regulators believe cryptocurrency mining will prevent the country and the EU from complying with the Paris agreement on climate change And again "come on"
But then it turned out that officials called for a ban in the European Union for mining cryptocurrencies using the Proof-of-Work algorithm.
In general, okay, Ethereum developers are already planning to abandon PoW in favour of the Proof-of-Stake algorithm, what will happen with other coins, will they also switch to a new algorithm or will they blow off these news?
That's really odd! Because I believe Sweden was the first country in the world to create a completely cashless economy quite successfully. That shows their technical advancements but now with this comment, I would think twice before calling them advanced. I am sure the government officials are misguided by the banking lobby. The banking industry has seen that they are unable to fight with the popularity of bitcoin. So they are trying to take different ways to fight it and this could be one if those different ways.

I’m just kind of curious how many people around here have been around long enough to have spoken to Satoshi, and what your experience was like. I am just fascinated about the whole thing. It’s beyond amazing Satoshi is still anonymous, so it makes me wonder what he was like when speaking with them. I’m guessing not too many people here were around for those days. This is one thing I’ve always wanted to hear Theymos talk about. Imagine having helped Satoshi build bitcoin, having private messages etc…what an experience!
yes, I indeed spoke to Satoshi many times and asked him about his plan to reveal his identity to the world! In my dreams, obviously! On a serious note, I don't think anyone here knows his/her real identity. I know Hal Finney had a contact with him during the initial days of bitcoin, but I doubt he knows the identity of Satoshi to be honest! He had few email conversations with Satoshi but the real identity is not known. Satoshi is not a stupid man, whoever is in touch with him, is unaware of his real identity. The contact was through emails only!

Apple CEO Tim Cook have invested on cryptocurrency. He has disclosed it in a recorded interview. He mentioned it as part of his diversified portfolio. His investment was from his personal point, and Apple doesn't have any plans of investing/accepting cryptocurrency. This is a big news, and were into discussion around the social media platforms. Majority of the huge company CEO's own crypto. This is a big thing and an indication of growth of cryptocurrency network. Source : The VergeThese people have access to excess money. These money comes from us who buys China made iPhones at US made pricing. So it's no wonder that Apple is a trillion dollar company and a CEO of the company, Tim gets a handsome bonus which basically sits in his account making zero inflation adjusted profit. So people with such deep-pocket are exploring options to invest their money elsewhere and considering the performance of crypto, there's no better choice right at this moment. So what Tim Cook did, is just a wise step to make use of his unused money in the best possible way! While it's not a news which will impact bitcoin super positively, but possibly win some trust of common mass. Nothing major!

Fortunejaack is licensed in Curacao so the laws of UK has no effect on them. However, Fortunejack is very old crypto casino and quite reputed too. So I think they must have a explanation of the situation. You can get in touch with the company representative here in bitcointalk. Profile link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=303298Thread link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774929.0Also you can open a thread in "scam acquisition" section and let the company review your situation. I hope a solution will come out from here.

Cryptocurrency is increasingly getting into our everyday lives! A congressman in Brazil has recently proposed a bill to allow Brazilian citizens to choose whether to receive their payroll in cryptos or in fiat. If accepted, it will be an important step forward to total Bank independence. Are you guys hoping for the same to happen in your country? Getting salary in a volatile currency like bitcoin, is a very risky proposition. I know it can be extremely rewarding as well if the price increases but considering the price fluctuation, it is risky. Personally I wouldn't prefer to get my salary in bitcoin. But given a chance probably 20% of my salary can be given in bitcoin and rest should be in fiat. This will ensure that my ingoing liabilities are met and also I will get the chance to save in bitcoin. Having 100% of my salary in bitcoin or in any other crypto is a big no no.

At present we all want to finish our studies and get a good job. But when a man finishes his studies and wants to get a job, it is not easy for him to get the job. Again, some people take small jobs with some bribes from the leaders and then it is seen that the family does not survive with their small jobs because slowly the world is becoming digital and everything is more expensive.So if one takes initiative in advance then one can enjoy his life better. The job is to work under people, the business is to give people job under themselves and to help many helpless people. So I hope your comments are good. Job or business..
Jobs and business are two different choices for two different mindset. If you want a life with stable income, you will choose job. But if you want a life which is riskier and more rewarding and also comes with ups and downs, you will choose business. But there is another segment of people who chose both. During this pandemic time, a lot of servicemen have found time to setup their own businesses based in their hobbies. So they are continuing with both. If you have the ability to take risk, you can definitely choose business. But if you want a stable income, choose job.

Someone or some company selling of gold and buying bitcoin does not signify that bitcoin has become a safe heaven asset or better than gold. It entirely depends on the risk appetite of an individual or the company management.
It ia indeed a good news for the bitcoin market as it will boost demand and increase the cash flow in the market. It is great to see that more and more institutional investors are finding bitcoin as an investable asset. From the price perspective it is great and we all are going to be benefitted from it.

THE TEAM PUT A PLAN TO LEAD THE COMMUNITY AND ACHIEVE SHIBACHU’S GOALS. Check us out!!! https://www.shibachu.net/Lol! It seems people have found an easy way to make money by riding the hype of meme coins. Thanks to Elon who started all these non-sense! Also in the process of trading these non sense coins, people are paying actually valuable coins like ETH or BNB as transaction fees! What a hilarious thing! I presume that such illogical thing will continue for some time now. People will keep on creating meme coins without any utility and sell off at ATH before exiting the market.

MY QUESTION IS:
May some day this noncirculating coins in my wallet be worth anything? May them have a future collectable value as happens with real old coins?
Nope! It's better for you to forget about this coins which has been changed to a new name/chain and also made non-used coins out of circulation. That's of no use to be honest! I am also facing a similar issue with a token whose value was around 1.2 ETH but the developers have migrated to a new chain and they are now denying any help. So it's better for me to forget about these tokens as it has no value.

NFT is itself gambling to be honest! You buy a piece of shit in the name of NFT and wait for selling the same shit at higher price. Isn't it gambling? For me, it is indeed a gambling in itself.
NFTs will be rolled out in gambling industry sooner than later. Gambling houses will sell some piece of shit to the common people and provide some premium features in return. It's like rebranding an existing thing called premium membership. NFT is no technological revolution, it's just a clever marketing strategy!

There seems to be a belief by some people that: 1) The money that is currently put into negative-yielding Treasury bonds needs a new "home" and 2) That new "home" is likely to be bitcoin
Can someone explain this in more detail. Why are Treasury bonds being compared to bitcoin? I understand the rationale behind point 1, but don't really see why a large portion of it will move into bitcoin. I can see it moving away from Treasury bonds, but I also see it moving to stocks, real estate, gold, silver, other commodities, art, pokemon cards etc.
Well the risk appetite is different for different segment of people. So people who are very conservative in nature, invest in Treasury bonds. It is consider as one of the safest investment of all time where government is the guarantor of the money. There is no chance to loose your money. This kind of investment was attractive when the interest rate was high. On the other hand, bitcoin is a very risky investment. It can fetch you unmatched amount of profit, but at the same time, you can loose your money. But people who have a stable source of income, can take risks and invest in bitcoin. That's why with the rise of global income for individuals, we are seeing more money pouring into cryptos than traditional investments. And we are all seeing a boom in crypto price.
