It's not going to change because most people look for the easiest way to deal with bitcoin. They simply want to access their devices, login into their accounts (which already have the password and email memorized), so they can buy, sell or transact their bitcoins.
If they have to download or buy a wallet, store keys safely, and do every further procedure needed for self-custody, they lose interest, because it becomes too complicated on their views. And if it wasn't for the services offered by exchanges, many adopters wouldn't ever have invested in bitcoin.

This competition has never been important or meaningful. And the fading of its popularity (in fact it is only a decrease in the ecosystem of such contests) is a consequence of global trends. Now everyone can enjoy the beauty that he personally likes - with the help of Instagram, onlyfans or even neural networks. There is no point in watching some outdated contest.
Well, it has been giving high relevance way back then but I think as time goes by, it’s slowly losing its essence as Ms Universe has somehow become rigged already and that probably those winners are not that deserving having that certain title. I know this is all about beauty and brain, but seems nowadays the essence of beauty has gone already, only the brain now that matters the most which for me I totally disagree as both beauty and brain should be constantly present. We all (and I too) complain about propaganda and distortion, but if you look into the past, it used to be too. Even in these competitions. It is unlikely that in the past one could expect that the winner would be from a communist country, for example. But we generally liked that propaganda, so we don’t remember such facts very well. Modern propaganda is more perverted, so we notice it. True. Propaganda before was more sympathetic and less imposing. Somehow they respected the public's natural choices, but it always existed anyway. The competitors and the winners are normal average women and seems to have always been. They have nothing in special compared to daily life women we meet. Actually, it's possible to find much more attractive and likeable girls routinely, when compared to the participants of this competition. After all, there isn't such thing as "miss universe". |

Rumours of Tonga adopting bitcoin as legal tender come since the beginning of 2022. And there also rumours from a senator in the state of Arizona, USA, who is trying to push bitcoin adoption as legal tender as well. On the other hand, in St. Maarten's country, which is part of the Kingdom of Netherlands, there are plans on the parliament to adopt Tron as legal tender.
As we can see there are initiatives regards crypto adoptions in different minor countries and independent states of bigger nations, like US. However, we don't know yet how much support these initiatives have locally. The side who speaks against crypto adoption might be still more influent, especially after El Salvador adopted the measure, but saw bitcoin melting down, while the country continued acquiring more and more bitcoins. So far El Salvador is in loss on their btc investments and will be only able to recover it once btc returns to the 40,000$'s price range.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess a user needs to wager at least 0.085 BTC(~$2k) in a hi/lo game to increase his base freeroll reward up to 8 sats. So I even wonder how much a user needs to wager in order to increase his base reward up to 171 sats.
As for your 996 spins of the wheel of fortune, I've written before that the base prizes from the wheel of fortune will start to decrease when BTC trades in the range of $30k to 33k. So you should keep a close eye on the BTC price in the coming days/weeks.
I have no idea how much I've already wagered as I didn't pay too much attention to this feature, but that is how it looks for me:  It would be helpful if it were possible to check on personal stats tab how much satoshis have been wagered on the account so far. |

Besides freebitco.in there isn't any reputable non-kyc casinos. You will see many casinos claiming to be free from kyc process on the internet, but there are serious risks you can be scammed by them, as there aren't enough evidences of their legitimacy. I believe a point to be observed in crypto casinos is if they have an official account and ANN thread on this forum, due to it being the main crypto platform-community online, and how they are rated by forum members who are active in gambling sector.
You may find a non-kyc casino, but if gamblers here don't have any clue about the platform, better that you stay away.

I started earning money online before crypto through affiliate marketing and other, I still have my tools and I feel like taking the next step to crypto and online casino, I am looking for list of online casinos that pays people for referring other people even if they have to make deposits first, what is important to me is finding the highest paying ones as I have ways of promoting that I believe will not fail me or waste my time, also is there anyone into this type of side income thing? What type of  advice can you give a dude like me? There is no way to know if you are going to waste your time in advance. You have to try promoting different crypto casinos until you conclude the one which has brought more referrals to you and the largest referral income. I believe to look for the highest paying one isn't the exclusive criteria you should look for, because this is actually the one most referral hunters will be promoting, therefore the competition for referrals is going to be intense, and results may be inferior than promoting casinos which offer lower comission rates. |

Have you played in a charitable casino or will you consider doing it?
Yes, I've already played on a kind of charitable bingo which donated the money raised to the church. They ask for donations in form of prizes from stores, so for each round of the bingo lucky players are rewarded with home appliances, roast pork and chicken portions, candies' baskets, decorative items and so on. Actually, there is a long time since I've gone to this party for the last time, but it used to happen once a year. It's a good initiative, of course, it can help a lot of people in precarious situations, although it's just a temporary aid for emergency times. Nobody should rely on charity for a living. |

I can't read the article, because you have to pay for a subscription in order to read full content, but most news portals are always trying to defame bitcoin somehow always they have the opportunity of doing so. But to say the truth, this time they must have brought good luck to bitcoin, because as soon as the article was published, bitcoin started recovering its price 2 days after. Please, Fortune, post more articles claiming how celebrities are in a big mess due to crypto, we would like to see bitcoin hiting 30,000$ this month yet.  |

Today, since bitcoin passed the 24,000$'s mark, it immediately became a trend topic on Twitter, and people took the opportunity to share some news of bitcoin adoption around the world, similar to the one presented in OP. I didn't know, but it was said 770 shops in South Africa already accept bitcoin as payment method. That is a good signal bitcoin isn't being adopted only by investors, but also by merchants and retail sellers.
As fiat currencies get more depreciated, it's likely news like this become more common each new day.

Ugh, a bunch of politicians who sucks at their jobs and are dividing our country (the United States) like crazy. As an independent I don't like any of the candidates, and that will make it difficult to bet on I think. When it was Hilary Clinton versus Donald Trump I was absolutely positive that Hilary was going to win and put some bitcoin down on a bet, and as we all know that didn't happen. So I'm not sure I'll be betting this race. Just depends I suppose. The disputes for the presidency of the United States of America have always had this history of being very accentuated and with great division among the population. This is really not a good thing for a country, because the more divided it is, the greater the people's "temperamental" problems. In a scenario that proves to be more favorable to a given candidate, the minority is already beginning to accept defeat before the elections, and when it arrives, spirits are more stable. However, when there is a very fierce clash, the surprise is left for the last few moments and a large part of the population cannot accept defeat or it takes a long time to process it. In the last US elections we saw vandalism, recently in Brazil, which also had a very close election (50.9% x 49.10%) there was also unprecedented depredation in the capital. We hope that the upcoming US elections will be an example to the world and not another disappointment with scenes of vandalism. It doesn't seem like the polarization is going to cease soon. The political scenario turns around Trump and any sockpuppet the democrat party brings to the competition. The country is between two agendas, which are the same since 2016. People don't wake up from this mass hysteria political has become and are completely manipulated by any fake and conspiratorial news posted on social medias, making it impossible any kind of logical and reasonable debate around ideas and proposals. For betting reasons that is pretty good, though, because the results are completely unpredictable and odds balanced in every directions. |

The earliest bet I made was at the end of elementary school, in a World Cup's match. Each student who accepted participating the betting pool should give 0,40$ to place a guess (it should be exact final score, not only guessing the winner). Some have accepted the deal, but money wasn't collected in advance. So, after the match only one student (lucky guy) matched the correct result and won the full prize, although at least one of the class mates didn't bring the money, as previously agreed, as far as I remember.

Instead of using centralized exchanges, and going with all verification procedure, I would suggest everyone to try P2P trading and Bisq decentralized exchange.
It looks a possibility. I will check how it works, thanks. If users can't spend $100 to protect their money, they are investing a small amount of money.
Yes, that is what I expect. People are fearful of adopting bitcoin, because they don't know it very well. They have to stat investing small amounts first until they understand how it works and get more confident. I'm going to talk to layman people, who aren't into informatics frequently. I believe exchanges are the tool to introduce these people to bitcoin investment, otherwise I fear it's not going to be possible in a practical way. I have to keep it simpler (and cheaper) as possible. Even a 50,000 satoshis withdrawal fee I think it's already too expensive to transfer coins to a desktop wallet. I assume you meant to spend more "on" a cold wallet but also you meant a hardware wallet.
I have some difficult identifying when to use "in", "on" or "at", my bad. A cold wallet simply means storing bitcoins offline with no accessible private keys, so you can make your own cold wallet with ease without $200 for a ledger or trezor.
People would need an extra device and most of them just have a smartphone. That being said, are you really comfortable with launching such a campaign in a community, telling people they could send whatever little they have to invest to a centralized exchange that might flop tomorrow? I would not take the risks, I would spend more effort to teach them how to make and manage their own wallets rather than having to deal with an angry mob that has lost thousands of dollars because I told them funds are #SAFU.
I will talk about the risks and also mention the possibility of storing in self-custody offline mode, but the idea is that they invest small sums of money to experiment how it works. Something between 1$-10$, so I guess it's not big risk just to start... If they enjoy the experience, they should adopt extra safety measures for larger invested funds. |

I'm going to launch a bitcoin adoption campaign in my local community soon, and in order to give accurate guidance, I'm looking for the best alternative of exchange to suggest people where they can acquire their first bitcoin coins, and hold them (I know it's not recommended, but people aren't going to spend 100$ or more in a cold wallet).
The main goal is to avoid fees, so they can buy more satoshis with the same amount of money. I thought about three alternatives:
Crypto.com: zero withdrawal fees to bank account, 0,0750% fee on exchanges;
Binance: 0,70$ withdrawal fees to bank account, zero fees on BTC/fiat pairs exchanges;
Local digital bank: zero fees, average 1% spread fees on exchanges.
From the above alternatives, I think Crypto.com is still the cheapest one, unless there are hidden fees I'm still not aware of. What do you think?
Or do you recommend another alternatives?

But if OP meant to say was if institutional investors would get out of the market this time around then expect that there's a huge drop of the price but just like what I said, over time the price will slowly recover from the bottom.
That is what they did last year lefting the market, so we saw a deep crash in BTC price to 16,000$. Those institutional investors are also heavy speculators, so they must have thought the impact of their departure from crypto market would be even deeper, but thankfully it wasn't and long term investors were able to hold the price considerably. Good news is that each new cycle the influence of institutional investors is decreasing more yet. At some point their influence must be tied with the dominance of every other average investors united focused on long term goals, what could balance volatility to more stable levels. |

Crypto.com doesn't charge fees when exchanging currencies, but I noticed rates are inferior to the official rates on the currently moment of the operation. Also, you don't have freedom to place a sell order with the price you want. They force you to set a minimum price, above the currently market's price, difficulting the sale. So I concluded they charge a hidden spread exchange fee. Do you know how many percentage is this fee?
I found a local innovative digital bank in my country which claims to not charge fees, but they have the spread thing feature, and informs it stays around 1%. So, technically, absence of fees is a fake propaganda, anyway.
EDIT: nevermind, although they don't display the fees and respective values charged on the moment of each operation, there is table informing the percentages.  |

Institutional investors are responsible for bringing big money to crypto market, boosting the bull runs' results to the moon. Without them, crypto doesn't have the same potential of prices' increasement on short run, although on long run, with or without institutional investors bitcoin and its altcoins pairs are going to do well anyway, as organic adoption keeps increasing day by day slowly, but surely.

Not a long time. When I gamble I try to place fewest bets as possible and quit right after, so I don't hit the feared long term where gamblers lose their money. It ends that I lost money anyway after a while, so there is nothing else to do besides staying away from gambling for a while, until I can recover losses, therefore I spend less time gambling yet on the total calculation of hours played.

You as a crypto adopter would you like to use CBDC if the pairs are available on all crypto exchanges as a way to store yourself some digital US Dollar?
Well, between the currently stablecoins we have disponible which are issued by private companies (which have already been under the center of a lot of polemics) and CBDCs which are going to be issued by governments, I think the second is still more reliable, right? Both are centralized and not 100% to be trusted, but at least the government can give some extra insurance those shady companies don't. However, I'm not sure yet if the CBDC of a determined country will be disponible for citizens of foreigner countries, what would forbid most of us from using dollar CDBC. |

A halving without effects would mean the demand for bitcoin is decreasing, while what we see in fact is exactly the opposite. Demand for bitcoin is constantly increasing on long term and so far there aren't any evidences which lead us to believe investors are losing interest for btc. Halving is already an historical event which always brought the same positive impacts to bitcoin market. In order to speculate the opposite I think we should have a past halving which didn't trigger a bull run next. All the chances are at bitcoin's favour in this case.
From the many experiences that have existed so far bitcoin has always experienced an increase in price even though it is not significant but still the halving day has had an effect on bitcoin, for the next halving day I think there will be an increase especially now that investors are starting to return to the market and this has been seen in the past few days an increase in bitcoin begins to occur besides that usually investor interest will start to grow before the halving occurs due to a decrease in supply or reduction and obviously this will trigger an increase in demand for bitcoin and will eventually trigger an increase in the price of bitcoin on the market. The halving has always had a significant affect on btc what do you mean? Do not focus on the 'day' as you keep saying but look at how the market reacts after. It will go up that is the point of it the amount of btc being put into circulation is going to steadily decrease so it creates fomo and means that miners do not get paid as much for discovering blocks. The true effects of the halving probably will not be seen until at least 6 months after but you will see it in the next years. If you do not see the effects of it then I would be worried that satoshis vision was wrong but so far the halving has always had a positive effect. Most commonly halving effects can be experienced by 1 year after the event. The expectations is that by 2025 bitcoin will be in a new bull season, towards a new ATH. It's true there are no guarantees, but I'm pretty confident that prediction is going to come true by looking the degraded state of fiat currencies, the adoption of CBDCs by governments, lack of trust from average citizens in centralized parties and institutions, and trust plus reputation bitcoin has been building since the beginning. |

just Buy instead of anything , better to buy now as it was very low and of course to expect a return in the future because this is the most promising coin from bitcoin .
It should also be noted that Ethereum has reached ATH at a price of $4891 and this is an extraordinary achievement. Currently the price of Ethereum is still around $1500. Ethereum is the most promising altcoin after Bitcoin and is the top Altcoin that can follow Bitcoin prices. There is nothing to doubt if buying ethereum for the long term. After Ethereum's move from POW to POS, transaction fees are also cheaper and the network is running well. In the future we will see that the current price is too low. Profitability of ethereum must come with the profitability of crypto market as a whole, always following the tendency of bitcoin. ETH is the strongest altcoin in the market, so besides bitcoin, there are high chances ETH can also overcome its previous ATH in a future bull run. Bitcoin is the king of crypto market and ethereum is the king of altcoins market, so it's natural to assume the investment is still hot and full of potential, although it should never replace bitcoin in an investor's portfolio. |
