This year has been a good year for Bitcoin. I like the direction we are heading to, a lot of institutions are starting to recognize Bitcoin and have accepted it. Some of them have even gone as far investing their cash asset in it which is really good. And we all know that has been part of the reason why we reached a high price this year.

We look forward to better years ahead as the recognition for Bitcoin has been high, and more people will start becoming part of this community as time goes on, which is very good. I am looking forward to when there are going to be lots of companies accepting it as a payment method on their websites.

Well, I did invest in Bitcoin when it was around $6000, not just only me, my friends as well invested in Bitcoin. And I also bought Ethereum for around $180 or so. I never even expected Ethereum to go this high because a lot of people were already losing faith and saying that it is not going to go up.

But I never bothered, cause I already had Bitcoin and I knew for sure that Bitcoin will go up because of the next halving. It's not like I made millions of dollars, but I did make good profit that I am satisfied with, and I believe that I can build myself from there. Right now, as I am seeing the market I don't think that the market is going to go as low as that $6000 price again, maybe the $30k price range is it for now. But let's wait and see.

Yes, a lot of players get lucrative offers from casinos and they will deposit without actually verifying the legitimacy of the casino and later realize that the welcome bonus offer was a trap because the wagering requirements are impossible to ever get close to, forget about achieving them.

This is the reason despite getting hundreds of offers via emails, I hardly ever click them because I am afraid of clicking a phishing email or visiting a scam casino. I know I might be missing some great offers and opportunities but there are more scam emails and casinos than legit offers.

There are people who still get trapped in scams like 1xbit (it's a scam don't ever play there) because they are advertising very aggressively and new players might be mistaking them with 1xbet.

Lockdowns were a bad idea, I must say, in the hindsight though and I cannot blame the governments for forcing them because it seemed as if lockdowns are the only possible way to stop the spread of the coronavirus but it absolutely killed the economy. I think if rules and covid protocols were followed, no lockdown was ever needed apart from then the virus was at its peak maybe.

Must be a critical situation then, aren't online food services available for you yet? I am ordering everything online these days and I feel like it is much easier and would continue doing so even when the virus is gone.

No doubt we are getting better blockchains every day but I feel like there are just too many right now. The recent bull run actually helped a lot of coins because every coin was getting enough attention and investors even meme coins.

Crypto is already part of the mainstream and yes there was a problem of transaction fees on Ethereum but that happened because way too many projects were built on it and the number of transactions being made was crazily high.

I feel like right now TRC-20 is the better blockchain but everyone has their own favorite and ERC-20 is still the dominant one. If I am not wrong the TRC-20 is the busiest blockchain right now in terms of transactions made.

Climbing might look dangerous and life-threatening from outside but it is all about skill and practice. The first time I watched a few sports like NFL, I felt like the players must sustain huge injuries looking at their size and the nature of the sport but I was wrong and although injuries are there, they are never career-ending. Similarly in MMA heavyweight fights, you will feel like a fighter will die today but even when they get knocked out cold, they gain consciousness and feel better within a few minutes.

So climbing or any sport might look risky when you watch it but once you actually understand the dynamics and the skill of the competitors, it will not look that risky. As far as betting goes, people bet on slapping tournaments which is far more devastating than climbing.

To get a present you must have a personal VIP host and that you get at Platinum III now at stake.com so you should know that in case you are expecting a host at platinum I, you are wrong. Earlier it used to be at Platinum I so you aren't wrong completely but they changed it to Platinum II sometime ago and very recently Platinum III.

I don't think gifts and presents make a huge difference because all the gamblers are 18+ and usually you won't see too many emotions in adults towards gambling so yeah one would appreciate getting free coins but I don't think it does much in terms of loyalty. If you ask me, I would be much happier getting a small bonus when I am busted than getting a bonus on my birthday when maybe I am doing well already.

I might be interested but I am very well aware and also a victim of reversible payments in Paypal so I will pass but since I am here I would suggest you to add more details like what's the ratio you are looking for, 1:1? And are you able to send as friends and family because those payments are not easily reversed from what I have seen.

Also, one thread I recently saw might help you out - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1992018.0 he charges 15% so if you agree on that maybe he can help you out.

Then you’re going to make use of P2P . This option is available on lots of exchanges, even Binance has a P2P trading on their exchange and you can access it by going to the trade page and selecting P2P. So, it is very much possible to sell your coins and not be traced to an exchange at all.

But, Binance has a limit to how much you can sell and buy on their platform when you’re not yet verified. And you can only break that lint when you’re verified, which means that it has defeated the purpose of being anonymous and having complete privacy. But there are still other exchanges that you can still make use of  for the transactions, for as much as you want to do.

That is why you will often see that coins which work on staking (PoS) are not so popular among investors like TRX which is rather used for quick payments but I haven't seen many investors holding Tron. On the other hand coins like BTC and Ethereum (I know ETH might switch but right now they are PoW) are often seen as a good investment.

I am not someone who stakes coins because I rather want to trade them and earn. Plus with staking coming locking your coins and hence a risk of not being able to sell if you see a market jump. Staking is a good option for people who are holding coins that work on PoS because there is no harm in earning some extra coins by doing nothing new.

Inflation is a very big problem , it is not easy to be honest. Our current government in my country has ruined the economy and the covid-19 just seems like another great opportunity for them to totally destroy what is left as inflation has been high and they are also devalued the currency. A lot of things has been happening lately since things are very bad this time around and people are trying to survive. It’s all by God’s grace that we are surviving.

The truth is that government everywhere is really corrupt. It gets worse in developing countries where the rich are in political powers and there is no one to hold them accountable for their very bad leadership, and they act however they want to. Well, you’re still right because I believe that there are countries things are not going to be as worse.

If gambling is forbidden in your religion you probably cannot look towards heaven for luck because they already warned you against it. Jokes apart, I don't think praying works for anyone and if one feels it does, they are just fooling themselves. Imagine two different people praying for their bets and they have different players so who is gonna win? The one whose prayers are stronger? Doesn't make sense.

There is nothing wrong with eating pizza before gambling either but you should not satisfy yourself by telling that God is on my side today just because I have done a particular action. It brings overconfidence and later remorse.

I too hate slots and dice has been here since the start but still feels the best option to wager. At times when I am really looking to wager whether it's for the races or weekly lottery, I wager via dice.

I have found a new way of wagering fast and safe if anyone wants to try they can also do so, but please do at your own risk. I use the https://bot.seuntjie.com/ bot and there I get an option to wager at stake with 0.999 multiplier and basically I win every bet since the chances of losing are near zero. It eats the balance slowly but this works super well when you are trying to wager.

For some reason, you cannot make the same multiplier bets at stake directly so I don't know how this bot works.

Well it’s like a normal thing for the rich guys, they don’t want to lose their wealth. And I think it is the same thing with everybody, if you get to that level of being rich, you wouldn’t like to lose your wealth to anybody.

But anyways, it’s not like cryptocurrency is the only thing there is in this world, but it’s totally wrong if we are going to be making use of a system that is going to be giving more and more control to the whales who are already looking for ways to be twisting and manipulating everything in their own favor which is totally wrong. Bitcoin, as well as other cryptocurrencies, are made for everybody, so it shouldn’t be a thing where only the rich guys will be benefiting from it.

That’s really nice and I hope Android do the same thing and introduce emojis of cryptocurrency, that’s going to help in making a lot of people to be adopting cryptocurrency. I know that’s not going to like push everybody into cryptocurrency, but when they start seeing that emoji almost everyday, it will lead to everybody talking about it all the time and also using the emojis in some cases, then as it goes on some people will develop interest from there and would like to try out cryptocurrency investment.

Now since the fight is over anyone can say that it was easy money but the odds suggested that Sakai had a good chance to win and although Rozenstruik proved his power, I had a feeling that if we went to the distance there was a good chance that Rozenstruik might gas out and Sakai would take advantage of that and land some big shots late in the rounds.

There is never free money on offer even when the odds are 1.01 and as a proof, I can show you at least 5 bets I made for wager and ended up losing with seriously low odds. For example, betting on a 1-minute market on soccer and I have lost a lot of them. Similarly, I have made bets on esports and lost some bets which I felt were free money.

That's right and experienced traders have a setup such that they spend most of their time thinking rather than doing trades themselves. The place where I live, we have offices where traders operate and they have employees who will work for them, they just come once or twice a day and monitor the situation and loss/profit.

Maintaining health is important because even our mental health is related to how physically fit we are. I was reading about Elon and he spends hours running and lifting weights which shows that despite him being the richest, he still is conscious about his health.

Elon is actually doing all this just to remain in news. I mean the guy is so confused that he supports dogecoin but speaks badly of bitcoin while very well being aware that both work on proof of work and if you are talking bad about bitcoins, there is no room in hell to talk positively about doge which is a copy of bitcoin and a meme.

He is so confused that he will do anything that keeps him trending in the market. He makes no sense when he promotes doge and recently a strange tweet from him pumped an adult coin, I read this in some article. Not sure why people are crazily following him despite clearly knowing the guy has nothing to do with crypto and is only chasing fame.

Thanks to vaccination and much better numbers in europe, there is a good amount of places that accept the fans in the stadiums, I do not mind it honestly, obviously there is a good amount of games that I watched which I believed was better without any fans, there are "derby" type of situations which means it is really worse with fans because they create a chaos, this way there is none.

At the end of the day there is a good amount of players who ask for fans and that is what matters, if the players want to see the fans and if the organizations need the fans for the money for it, then there will be fans because that is the people who they are trying to appease and that is why there will be some fans, not full stadiums but there will be some fans. I wouldn't really mind if the game was like zero fans, just friends and family, like maybe 200 at the most.

Yeah, it didn’t just advance us well into the future, it also advanced us well into problems, like seriously. A lot of people are always complaining about how things have gotten in a lot of areas. Okay I am not going to talk about the fact that lots of good people lost their jobs, but that one is not a big problem because I believe everyone is going to look for another way and also there are now so many remote jobs online, though it’s going to be really difficult to find a new job.

All that aside, the next problem now is the rate at which crime has gone up, it’s just like the cage was opened and they let out the dogs. The government everywhere should be doing what they can to put things under control.
