I would never trade or gamble with money that isn't solely mine. Shit happens and then you'll be unable to pay back the loan, if you don't have your own money, it's best not to trade at all. Trading is extremely risky itself, but doing it with borrowed money takes it to another level of risk.

You'll eventually lose a trade or two, you'll get greedy and who knows what your next moves might be.

You're just proving my point, although, you didn't post any links from those so-called websites you anti-vaxxers read, that's surprising. The Britannica article has all its sources hyperlinked already in the text, however, I don't see you proving anything you're claiming. You're only capable of flaming other users that aren't supporting your non-existent claims.

There's no such thing as a reliable source for anti-vaxxers, no matter what information they are presented with, they won't believe a single sentence. Instead, they'll simply reply with a post from some stupid blogspot website or YouTube video of some random guy, "debunking" all scientists involved in the pandemic and the development of vaccines.

That's true, China was never supportive of cryptocurrency, despite having large mining operations. This isn't something new, a quick look back in the past few years will reveal a lot about China and its policies against the freedom of its citizens. Such incidents will definitely affect the market, up to a degree, however, its impact won't last long and will recover eventually.

I've never heard of this Zero coin before either, as I mentioned earlier, there are instances that these newer/less known coins are worth investing. Do your research, you could even invest in multiple new/cheap coins as well, instead of one. If one goes down, you won't lose all your money, while this practice is providing you with more investment opportunities.

I would say yes, but it depends on the coin and its conditions. Let's keep in mind that a ton of coins are being created every day, many of which are pump and dump coins aka scam coins created only for this purpose. Sometimes you may hit the jackpot and achieve high returns from such coins, however, it's not something that can be guaranteed by any means.

Tesla used to be the main competitor in the EV sector, that's why their prices were so high as well. On top of that, Tesla had a terrible policy when it came to servicing and salvage vehicles. Despite EVs being a pretty new market, there are already quite a few models, from different companies, that have recently been introduced to the market, reducing the monopoly effect Tesla had on the market.

I'm glad and relieved to see it was resolved. I highly doubted that such matter would stay unhandled, despite what happened, from my experience, it's not a sketchy exchange by any means. As another user already mentioned, use a “Resolved” tag in the title, so other users that might be facing a similar incident with yours, are informed that this matter has been resolved, without reading all the replies.

Congratulations on your journey, you've accomplished quite a lot within a year that you've signed up. I don't come across many new users who manage to rank up above the Member rank. Good luck to you, Sr Member isn't out of reach, keep moving forward.

I'm all in for electric vehicles, I mostly like their concept and its benefits, not paying for petrol, they have immense acceleration and so on. However, I don't believe that they are fully developed for mass usage. They are still quite expensive and till a few years ago, Tesla was the largest competitor. The Tesla Model 3 for instance, costs approximately $50-60.000.

During the past few years, more and more EVs are being developed, such as Hyundai, Volkswagen, KIA, Volvo and a few others.

Interesting story, according to you, the purpose of this investment is long term, however, I'm wondering how you considered Bitcoin as your best investment? Don't get me wrong, but, the amounts being invested are quite small, considering Bitcoin's value. I believe that sometimes, investing in some other reputable altcoin, such as Ethereum, Cardano, Binance and many more, is deemed more profitable than purchasing Bitcoin.

Dogecoin received lots of attention just because Elon Musk started promoting it, not just because it's a coin worth being traded. There was a period that when Musk made a single tweet, a rally would follow, driving prices upwards, with everyone panic buying just because Elon Musk said it. Dogecoin was already listed on many exchanges, however, it's not actually a huge deal.

Let's just hope that OP is not held liable from his relatives, especially now that the market is going through a crash. Bitcoin is down to $43.000, taking all other listed Altcoins with it. And that's why I don't give out financial advice, especially on crypto.  I'm hoping that your relatives don't go frenzy seeing the market in such state, and start panic selling what they've bought.

I was recently targeted through Discord too. Was contacted through a few groups I had entered and posed as administrators who were eager to "assist" me. Even though it didn't regard the service you are referring to, in my case it was a phishing WalletConnect website, Discord and DeFi in general is fill of scammers.

Never respond to anyone you don't know, keep also in mind that administrators in Discord groups will rarely message you.

The more a virus mutates, the more contagious it becomes, however, when that occurs, it usually becomes less deadly. Vaccines still work with the Delta variant, but let's keep in mind that their development started approximately in March, based on the original virus, before new strains started appearing. The virus has taken several twists since then, thus, it's pretty normal that their efficacy has been reduced.

It has its own community indeed, however, Dogecoin won't achieve much without the promotion of influential personalities. Let's keep in mind that Doge was created as a meme/troll coin and has no real purpose, a few gambling websites use it though, but nothing special. It'll probably go with the flow of the market (Bearish/Bullish) but with nothing more to it.

On the other hand, Elon will probably mess with it again in the near future, don't be surprised if it suddenly skyrockets again.

I'd also be concerned if you were blamed for their misconduct/misfortune. I also invited two friends of mine a few months ago, but made sure to warn them that I'm not responsible for anything nor take my advice for granted, in case anything happen. Likewise, I've heard quite a few incidents of newbies losing their money and then blaming their mistakes on someone else.

In your case, you've mentioned that he has experience with the stock market, thus, he's probably more capable than the average newbie. On top of that, his portfolio is consisted of a variety of coins, too wide in my opinion, but may balance the risk if one or more altcoins enter the bear market.

Just make sure that you are not held liable for any kind of misfortune that may turn up.

I wish the same thing occurred here too, there's a large amount of people who are against the Covid-19 vaccine. The percentage of fully vaccinated people over 18, is a tad over 60%, which isn't that bad, but certainly not enough to achieve immunity. I've also noticed that the number of deaths are significantly lower, especially in countries with higher vaccination coverage.

The most important is that it decreases the severity of the illness, supposing you get infected. However, I'm a living example of someone who was in close contact with a confirmed case, I am vaccinated, and he isn't. Despite the long hours and being in an indoor area, I wasn't infected. Got tested multiple times throughout the week as well.

It's actually the same email I received, thus, I didn't stumble upon a phishing website. I tried to register simply out of curiosity, however, despite entering every detail requested, I never managed to sign up.

I don't remember having a balance there, so I just abandoned it.
