A very good news indeed but I don't understand the difference between getting bitcoins as the payment of your salary or getting the money in your bank in dollars and buying bitcoins with it directly. Whether your take bitcoins or cash or bank it does not change the fact that it completely depends on the employee what he prefers and if actually wants he can easily get his salary converted in bitcoins.

But yeah good news, shows there is interest from big companies and them paying Bitcoin to their workers will at least bring positive energy if not anything else and inspires some guys to take their salary in bitcoins.

The problem remains the same though, if you are not controlling the private keys, you are not the rightful owner of the coins. I trust every site and I don't trust any of them depending on the situation. I always check my transaction stats like confirmation,etc on blockchain so ion that sense I trust them but that doesn't enable to me invest my coins under them for interest.

Every individual have their own preference though so I understand as @target said POS is a better option, I don't even agree with that because most of the POS coins lose their worth by the time dividends arrive.

Yes, if you hold a coin which can be staked you should do it, but there is a problem of locked funds which means you cannot move your funds in case the market is dropping you are just helpless.

It seems like the Blockchain you’re promoting belongs to you and not someone else, like you have written a whole page about this project already.

Instead of using a newbie account to be promoting this project it would have been best for you if you used your original old account that can be trusted, nobody is going to trust you with a newbie account, and you hiding behind a newbie account to shill a coin makes it even more suspicious. And next, I don’t just go to any website where people can list projects and just investing in any project I see there, it’s best for us to always do deep research and know whether it’s worth it.

When you lose and try to recover you should be careful, you could lose even more while doing that if you are not careful about it, you should know what you are doing and why you lost and how you can recover if you want to go down that route.

You can't just lose and stay sad and do nothing, obviously you should follow that up and try to make money back, however you should first stop all trading, and check why you lost and what is the reason, sometimes it is a silly thing that has nothing to do with you and you were just unlucky, sometimes it is a very important thing and you did something vitally wrong, if you know the reason why you lost money, you will be fine and will probably not repeat that again. That is why I am doing, I usually rarely make the same mistake twice, even though I still make mistakes constantly, trading became very profitable gradually when I removed most common mistakes.

The reality is that during this period places like khan academy and udemy increased the number of people who signed up and bought a class. Those are the two biggest one and specially udemy which is teaching a whole lot of stuff but they are teaching the freelancer jobs as well, all the freelancer jobs you can find in the world are being a class there and many of them as well from bad free ones to expensive great ones and since people are at home, some of them have jobs and work remotely whereas some people didn't even have a job, so everyone who had time realized working at home is a great thing so they started taking those classes so that they could be great at a thing that they could work from home and that is why those places get more attention.

Will this move towards for kids and regular school? I do not know but there is a possibility but it is certainly harder to handle when it is 7-17 year old kids.

I am not sure which exchanges accept members from Sudan but you might want to try decentralized exchanges like uniswap or others because there is no KYC needed and no restrictions.

One thing which surprised me is why Binance even accepts members from Sudan in first place if they are going to reject them later. I mean during registration itself they can ban or restrict the IP addresses that are from Sudan and its pretty easy to be honest.

Anyways there are some centralized exchanges which might accept you but my advice would be to avoid them because exchanges which don't have restrictions also don't have any license and legality most probably. Either go with p2p trades or just use a decentralized exchange which although isn't user friendly but looks like the future.

By the way you might also use exchanges like changelly .. not sure if they require KYC but I used them many times and haven't verified anything yet.

You could never know what is going to happen, but not knowing what is going to happen is not a reason for not being ready neither. I personally have zero clue what is going to happen, and I have seen my coins go nearly 10x now and I could have easily gone away and sell all my coins, I bought at around 6.5k and that is about 9x increase so far and going even higher as we speak, which means I could sell right now and be in very very much profit.

But I am not, why? Because I could have sold it at 30k as well but I didn't and made more money, could have sold at 40k and could have made more money, people called me greedy and I will lose all my money for being too greedy and I still didn't sold and still made a profit when it went over 55k+ as well. So long story short be ready for a fall, do sell if you are in big trouble, but otherwise just keep holding as long as you can.

Yeah I too feel like there is a chance that bitcoin could go up even more right now, but back in the day when it was 20k I sold my coins in 2017 and got out lucky, why did I sold at the peak during that period but not selling it today? Because it is obvious that there are bigger players involved this time around compared to previous times.

We heard microstrategy and grayscale news first when bitcoin was around 10-15k and price is 50k right now and they are still looking to buy more and more. Other companies started to get in as well, so at the end of the day I am not really sure what we are going to do but I feel like we are doing fine so far. Of course it is not going to be easy to hold the price here, there is a chance it could drop drastically, but we are fighting against that with the huge companies buying constantly which means $100 will be get-able with respect to current power of bull markets.

And that old fashioned war is what I am never going to be accepting lol, it’s better they battle it out economically than going for a face to face war which would destroy everything including innocent lives. Although I’m still yet to understand what this Coronavirus is all about and whether it was created in a lab as some people keep saying.

I had an argument about this with someone, I told them that Coronavirus is just another type of virus that came out from nowhere, but they refused and said that it was created in the lab and released by the Chinese or whatever. They seem to be right in some way, if you check it. Seems this pandemic was just part of the economic war, and a way to give them the upper hand.

I don't want to sound pessimistic but XRP has a doomed future in my opinion because of the de-listing from coinbase, the lawsuit they are facing and the tough questions being asked by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and if it was going be solved, it should have been done by now already. I like XRP no doubt because as a user the importance hasn't dropped but as an investor the value has dropped for sure.

If they actually manage to win the lawsuit which I hope they do but think they won't, the value of XRP might even cross $2 or even touch $2 in coming time.

I hope ripple soon allows users to move and spend the coins that are locked for activating an address.

That is one reason and another important reason behind creating token and doing ICO is because these new projects don't have the capital to back and build their idea so they seek funds from public and in return we get tokens whose value is later determined by how well the project performs and how useful the product is.

Yeah, not all the coins and tokens know about this forum and don't have the time to create and maintain a thread. But that said, Ethereum is like the biggest altcoin of all time and they created a thread here which means this forum is still one of the best ways to let the bitcoin community know about your project.

I would say don't look to survive in the market because when you have the mentality to survive your trading decisions will be defensive and more towards avoiding loss rather than being pro-active and taking minimal risks and looking to end trades in profits.

As a defensive trader you would be happy selling your BTC at 10k which he bought lets say at 9k but a more pro-active trader would wait a few extra months and rather sell it for 20k or even more. Sometimes I understand we have to avoid taking risks but this crypto space is all about being ballsy and taking risks.

Again, on the contrary I would suggest going more towards a single asset and that too Bitcoin because all the other coins are not worth investing when the bitcoin market is going bullish.

Actually right but he was trying to think of a way which can make fluctuations smaller like limiting the maximum drop/rise a day to $500 but obviously we cannot do it because you can't stop buyers from buying and you cannot force sellers into holding. But to solve the same problem stable-coins were made to eliminate these risks and if you are a merchant you might actually want to accept altcoins like TRX because BTC payments will take hours and transaction fees also hurts. I am only suggesting TRX because it has free of cost transactions and quick confirmations and the price for TRX never dropped or jumped too much either.

By the way there are merchants like bitrefill who accept bitcoins payment but how they manage price fluctuations is by constantly updating price of the cart items every 10 mins when you are on the payment page. Like if you had $10 amazon gift card and move to checkout then the price will be fixed for 10-15 mins and then update according to the market price.

USDT looks good no doubt about that and although being centralized and no audits or anything like that is done by Tether but still it is one of the best stable coins and that because its the oldest stable coins if my facts are right and it has the highest volume of trading.

Apart from USDT, the next stable coin I trust and actually use at times is BUSD purely because of the trust I have in Binance and I am trading at Binance so if they scam then I cannot do anything at all. I believe there are some better stable coins in the market like the coinbase USDC and others but because of the trading volume and popularity it is USDT that is the winner here.

I agree that regular stock market or forex type of TA doesn't really apply in crypto, it is really not similar and people forget about that frequently, I know that it is doing great right now but we have found "why" it did so great in hindsight, which means this could be the reason or maybe it is not the reason, we do not know if it is true or not.

This is why I think it should not be really that difficult to buy BNB right now and hold, I know that people are thinking you must be crazy to think BNB would go up from this already increased price, but the reason BNB increased is people really wanting and using and buying BNB right now, due to BSC and all the defi there, there is a high demand for BNB and that increases price of BNB, even if one defi ever bankrupts or does a rug pull, we will still be doing fine and we should focus on that part of BNB, that makes it very valuable.

There are many many type of jobs that you could apply if you have been in the crypto world for a very long time, and you could start by doing something for free if you want and grow that into something much bigger in the end. However one thing I am pretty sure about is that anyone who starts learning about how to code would be quite well off in the future as well, it could be solidity for example, learn how to write code in solidity and you will definitely become someone who earns a lot of money, if for nothing else you could make your own coins and try to get richer by doing that.

Also believe it or not digital marketing plays a huge role in crypto, if you learn how to do it and become good at it, you could be part of any coin team and promote them and earn a lot of money doing that as well.

Yep, things are really changing , and over the years they found it hard to believe that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are the next level of investment. They have thought it was just another bubble that was going to crash once and for all, but they are surprised that it has continued for years now and all of them now wants to get on it before it’s very late for them.

If you check this year there has been so many companies coming out to say that they have invested in Bitcoin, and so many celebrities are now buying it , though some are public about it, I believe there will be so many of them who might own and just keep it a private.

Good catch and I have seen similar things a lot of times like when I was betting on counter strike some days ago there was odds like 1.8 on maps over 1.5 and 1 map was already over while the odds on losing team to win the second map was 1.6 or something.

You can also see it happens a lot in e-sports here in League of legends too:


It is the same market technically but the odds are slightly different and that is because of the number of bets being placed on these markets make them more close and since these markets are not as popular so there is a slight change in odds.

That's a good idea and must jeep your gambling more interesting because I cannot relate what kind of fun it is to put numbers into autobet and watch your money go so yeah at least manually doing it means there is something new to it.

I mostly bet on sports so I am not sure what strategy I would use but when I am wagering for some kind of contest or raffle then I usually go with 1.1x and 10x on lose and reset on win.

Surprised someone saying luck plays a major role because as far as logic goes, luck plays the "only" role if you are trying to win against the house who has the bigger bankroll and an edge against the players.

I don't see why people are so concerned with the transaction fees because altcoins were made for that problem and one who wishes to send small amounts and wants faster confirmation can always do transactions in altcoins and for those who are transacting big amounts and don't care about a few bucks on the fees for those payments will always prefer bitcoins.

Bitcoin will never die because no matter how many new and better coins arrive in the market, there is a certain identity for bitcoins and that came from being the first ever cryptocurrency. There were rumors that bitcoin will die when last year April price dropped but now the same haters are regretting they missed the chance to buy that time.
