I am not sure how many employees will actually take salary in bitcoin because of the volatility, but I like the positivity around bitcoin. People have shown immense interest in bitcoin since the timw lockdown kicked in and it is only growing till date. That's what it matters the most. It's really not much important how many employees are actually using this facility but it is important that a business entity is considering bitcoin as a store of value. Bankers have been resisted this to happen since a long time. It seems less number if people are trusting bankers on their financial mattera. From this perspective, its a win for us!

Could you please recommend to me your fave NFT games aside from AXIE?
Your recommendation is highly appreciated.
I may not be able to reply to you or PM you but I will certainly read your reply to this post.
Thank you in advance.
Op, would you mind creating a list of the suggestions pouring in from the member so that other people can have a complete list of NFT games at one glance? At present, I am playing a property trading game called Upland. They have their own token called UPX which can be purchased from their website. But they also give you enough UPX to start playing the game. They are also coming up with their own marketplace shortly. I didn't make money from this game yet and don't think I will be ever able to do that. Because NFT is bound to fail!

I saw an article on this a few days back from a legitimate source and I'm wondering why no one else seems to have made a topic here on it.
It seems the UK financial conduct authority was trying to find a way to come to an agreement with binance to keep operating in the UK but put blame on binance for not being able to answer the questions it wanted them to.
I'm not entirely sure, personally, if this has any impact on bitcoin at all as I think there is a lot of competition to binance the FCA won't be able to find or that will comply with the FCA (such as coinbase and decentralised exchanges and the smaller leverage platforms).
Can you please try to find the link of the news you are referring to? I am surprised to know that FCA is trying to make an agreement Binance is not answering. It's usually the other way around. Private companies runs from pillers to post but regulatory authorities are hard to reach. Since when UK government authorities have become so friendly!! As far as I have seen Cz, he is an opportunist. He wouldn't leave no stones unturned if he smells business. For him, UK should be a lucrative market, so not sure what the article you are referring to is genuine!

Somebody managed to register Bitcoin as a trademark, alongside registering its logo, in Spain, just over a year ago. It only applies to Spain, and as absurd as it may seem, the status is currently still active despite there having been appeals which were rejected. It doesn't seem to drive the owner of the rights anywhere in practical terms, other than giving him and his business some publicity, and it’s still pretty clear that whoever is leading this case from an administrative point of view hasn’t got the faintest idea of what he/she is doing. It should remain a local affair with no real operative derivate, and the same stunt has been tried out in other jurisdictions as mentiones in the OP. See: Bitcoin's name and Logo Registered in Spain Bitcoin – marca registrada en España http://consultas2.oepm.es/ceo/jsp/busqueda/consultaExterna.xhtml?numExp=M4046141That's really absurd. It's a well known fact that bitcoin doesn't belong to any particular person or group. So how come a court can assume their ownership and pass a judgement in favor of any random people claimjng trademark on bitcoin!!! It seems the judge didn't know the structure of bitcoin and he didn't have any idea on how it works. It's quite funny to see that thieves are literally everywhere who don't feel ashemed to take credit of something that they didn't do!

It seems like you forgot to update the old certificate that you had made while planning this website. It shows expired in july 31st, 2021. Care to explain? Are you guys really registered? It's ok not to be be registered but it's not OK to present false information.

U.S. banking giant Citigroup (NYSE: C) is reportedly awaiting regulatory approval to start trading bitcoin futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). The firm would join Goldman Sachs in offering bitcoin futures trading.
Nasdaq-listed business intelligence firm MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) has purchased 3,907 BTC for a total of $177 million, according to a Tuesday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. this is a good news guys many more bullish news to come and bitcoinprice may double so let us hold for good.
Lol! Another CME based trading instrument and another attempt from a banking institution to make money out of thin air without actually handling the underlying asset. No impact at all, will be seen in the crypto market. Only some accredited investors will "THINK" they are investing in crypto and make money from it. And the banking institution will earn commissions for being a middleman while bitcoin actually wants to remove the middleman from the system. These banking institutions are making the whole system in their favor while trying to secretly lobbying against bitcoin! So no cheer from my end!

When I got involved in gambling, I used to have a mentor that was guiding me, on one of those occasions when Luckybit was still in operation I have a balance of about 0.0012 BTC and the withdrawal condition was a minimum of 0.002 BTC so I got stocked in between and I run to my mentor for help and he guided me through the games and I won all till my balance reached 0.0032 BTC and I got greedy and told him I want to continue gambling and not withdraw again, but he made one comment that stick into my brain he said to be careful because gambling can ruin your life.
What is the best gambling advice you ever got from your mentor?
Lol! You have a mentor for gambling?? It sounds like a master gambler teaching aspiring gamblers to be successful. Does ye charge anything for mentoring? Gambling can indeed ruin your life if you don't learn when to stop and how to control your greed! But if you can control these two things, not just gambling, nothing can make you addicted in your entire life. I hope your mentor taught you these two things at the very beginning. Otherwise, it's quite easy for greed to take control of your mind and eventually ruin your life!

Whoever has a little bit of knowledge of mining, at least if they know the rules of mining, will never use such cloud mining apps. Because they can immediately say that these apps are fake and possibly contain malware. Because cloud mining is mainly ponzi scams. They ask you to invest and promise to give you a return against your deposit. All rules are same as ponzi but in the disguise of cloud mining.
I am happy that Google has finally taken some action agains these fake apps. They should have done it earlier.

Now he is dealing with someone who gives a good return and is also our country's man. My friend fixed a deal with him and the deal will be a bank transaction. The scammer sent money to my friend and my friend got a deposit message from his bank.
There are certain thumb rules to deal in p2p trading websites. I have been using few p2p trading sites since last 3 years and by God's grace didn't have to face any issues. Let me list out the rules I follow, 1. Check the most recent feedbacks of the trader. See if any positive feedbacks are received in last 72 hours. 2. Now go to those people's account who has left a feedback to your preferred trader and see that they are genuine and has a good amount of trades registered in their name. 2. Check the negative feedbacks and their dates. If the negative feedbacks are recent, stay clear. 3. Never trade with newbie traders. It's a big no no. If these thumb rules are followed, most likely we won't have to face any issue. It's sad that your friend had to face such issues for no mistakes at his end.

So Musk did this all just by few tweets! What a powerful personality he is! The crypto market is shaken by his decisions and now this new drama of dogecoin. I don't believe it!
We as a community claims to be decentralized and still react based on what one person thinks about it! What a shame!
Also great regrets will start flowing in shortly. I used to have 20k dogecoins but I have no clue where they are now! Lost opportunity and I am regretting!

I don't think crypto has the power to replace USD, but it definitely has the power to make banks look old and obsolete. That's why the banking lobby is pushing governments to impose a blanket ban on cryptos. I receive weekly mailer from my bank and a warning against cryptocurrency is a staple part of that mailer! Inevitably they mention the bitcoin is a risky things and they advise their users to stay away from it.
So banking lobby is already facing the heat and very well understood that cryptocurrency can make them irrelevant from the financial scenario. But bitcoin alone can't do it. Neither it can replace USD. Not at least in our lifetime!

What do you think would be the best option to those that are experimenting these issues right now? Should they stop watching sports forever as this is the trigger that causes them to gamble without control or should another solution be possible?
These people should control their greed instead of stopping watching sports. Because the addicted gamblers would gamble anyway, be it Euro cup or F1 race. Addicted gamblers are usually driven by greed rather than sports. They try to sniff for opportunities and gamble accordingly. Also the helpline has seen an increase of 28% in phone calls seeking for help. I would assume more than 70% gamblers didn't even bother to call. So the number of affected people are much bigger. Unfortunately there is no permanent solution where gambling business is a legal form of business.

Was having a discussion with someone getting who is getting into BTC the other day about the 'living on crypto' movement. Mostly about the people who want to get paid in BTC / crypto and only spend BTC / crypto staying away from banks. Personally I wouldn't want to live on crypto because of a very simple reason, the extreme price volatility. So today if the bitcoin price is very high and it is my salary date, I will be receiving less unit of bitcoins. And tomorrow, if the bitcoin price drops by 15%, I will be spending more units of bitcoin to buy my regular supplies. To be honest, bitcoin has not reached that point where it can be considered as a regular currency. Things might be different for El-Salvador people, but for the rest of the world, it is still an investment with extremely hugh growth potential. Was an interesting discussion as to where we stood. And was just wondering how everyone else thinks. Gift cards? Debit cards? Get paid in BTC and convert to USD (or whatever) and put into your bank?
For the use as a currency, it's always better to have the reference of USD so that we can ensure that we aren't spending more than the retail price of a product. 1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin formula doesn't apply here! The price swing still doesn't make bitcoin a spendable currency. If bitcoin price stabilizes, then possibly more people will be interested in using bitcoin as a currency system. But as of now, I personally would want to save every bit of my bitcoins rather than spending it.

Thanks for sharing your point of view. Check this quora thread - https://qr.ae/pGW5lWIt says, Pi does not allow any one to have have multiple accounts. Pi wants to remove out the multiple and bots accounts. For this purpose Pi is doing KYC (Know your customer). Since multiple accounts and bots account cannot be verified by KYC, these accounts and their Pi will be burnout, is clearly mentioned by the core team of Pi.
But this will take time. Since only 100000 slots are available for KYC verification in a month, legitimacy of more than 13 M users will also take time. This burning is only possible after the verification of all legitimate users. Core team is developing different techniques for KYC verification. Are all these a part of a hoax? Or it sounds fake as it is path-breakingly easy? Lol! That's a very normal excuse for any company who are willing to gather kyc information from random people. Then those kyc data appears for sale in dark web. Personally I think pi token will be a big failure because it's super easy to earn. Free things don't have value. Think a simple things, why would anyone spend money on buying a token which can be right from their mobile phone at ze4o expense. Doesn't make sense, right? I personally would not go for KYC verification with them even though I have few thousands of it.

What do you guys think about such a move by El Salvador? Frankly speaking, this is such kind of news where we should feel excited about. We always wanted to see granular level adoption of bitcoin. Didn't we? I mean, it's much much better than a corporate investing billions of dollars in bitcoin. It is much much better for bitcoin to be circulated within a proper economy through masses instead of sitting idle in corporate coffers. Possibly El-Salvador will be written in history for their contribution towards the digital currency adoption.

According to a new report that was published 21% of the gambling venues are located at the poorest areas while only 2% are located on the wealthiest parts of the country, this is being used as evidence the poor are being targeted, but this could just be evidence that it is cheaper to rent at those places and the gambling outlets prefer to go there to save on rent, or that maybe those that are the wealthiest prefer to gamble online instead of taking their time to go to one of those places and as such there is no reason to set up shop on their neighborhood. So what do you think? Are the poor being targeted or there is another explanation for the data we are seeing? https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/aug/23/uks-most-deprived-areas-have-highest-number-of-gambling-outlets-report21% gambling venues - located in poorest part 2% gambling venues- located in wealthiest part What about the remaining 77%? Are they located in those parts where middle income group people lives? Then how come the data concludes that only poors are being targeted? I don't see that! Care to explain? Also wealthy people don't have time to gamble. These segment of people are usually self disciplined and they are extremely busy. So we can separate them from our discussion!

I am thinking that if the bitcoin continue to go up to $100,000 and above. it will be expensive for the poor people to invest. It will be for only rich people. It will be better for bitcoin will not go so much high so that it will be affordable to everybody to invest and have profit.
I will like to read and learn for everyone here.
Incorrect statement! Bitcoin is highly divisible and you can purchase bitcoin worth even $1. So anyone including a college student can participate in bitcoin ecosystem without the need to having a huge amount of initial investment. 99% of the people in this forum don't own 1 full bitcoin till date. So there is no financial entry barrier for the poor people. Try to use any random exchanges in the crypto market, and experience that for yourself. So the pricing is not an excuse rather an opportunity.

Pi coin is bound to fail. It doesn't have any utilities and people can mine it from mobile. It doesn't require anything special to get into Pi network. So as per the rule of economics, it would not have any value because it is so easy to get your hands onto it.
Look at bitcoin and it's price chart since inception. The harder it becomes to mine bitcoin, the pricier it has become, coupled with other factors.
I am personally sitting on few thousand Pi tokens which can't be transferred and now the team is planning to do kyc validation for all. So seriously I don't see any future for Pi token.

recently am being worried about online cryptocurrency gambling platforms with the recent event in which we witness a good number of gambling sites closing down operations after some years of outstanding records.
First, it was yolodice, and now BetBTC and many others. What seems to be the problem is that gambling software and licenses come with an expiration date, or is the gambling environment not friendly enough to accommodate and sustain continued operations.
what is your view on this?
Online market dynamics is similar to what you are observing. One closes down and another 10 pops up. Nothing is flawless in this market. Also majority of the online casinos are owned by a small group of people operating probably from their own home or garage. That's why many of them are not professional while dealing with their own clients. This happens everytime. But I personally wouldn't worry much about a casino on the verge of closing down unless they are acamming people. There will be more casinos popping up to fill in the blanks.

Regulation is inevitable. Mark my words! If not today or tomorrow, but day after tomorrow we are definitely going to have crypto regulations in place. It's not just for US but for the other countries too. And I support a regulatory framework around cryptos because crypto market is now filled with scammers and fraudsters. Millions of people have lost millions of dollars in ICOs or IEOs and in other type of frauds. So it's high time that a regulatory framework is provided.
Did US people forgot the pipeline hack happened few months back? Do you want to see the same with your electricity network too?
