I don't really agree with your first statement but I agree with the rest of what you have said. Putting all of your hard-earned money in Bitcoin is risky. You know how volatile bitcoin is. Diversification of funds is still of importance. I know that bitcoin has already proven itself numerous times but you should still put some of your funds in other platforms in case something happens, you can withdraw instantly. Aside from personal savings and investments, you should also prioritize having an emergency fund which you can easily cash out if ever worse things occur. Because if you put all your funds in bitcoin and something happens, you will be forced to withdraw whether it was in a bearish market. In that case, you'll lose your supposed profit.

Regarding living on crypto. It would be extremely risky as well. Imagine living in volatility and uncertainty. It would be so stressful most especially if you're not really that well off. I don't think living on crypto is a good idea. It would cost you more during its bearish market days. While it would be so nice to spend during the bullish market because you can spend more than what you originally invested, it isn't guaranteed that it's gonna be that kind of day every day. Fluctuations often happen and it won't be so healthy to live in that kind of environment unless you love to be challenged so much and can afford to lose much.

I agree with what you listed. These things are all possessed by bitcoin. However, it still isn't counted and acknowledged by the government as a currency. Perhaps because they have their own local currency in fiat in the first place. Since bitcoin and other crypto aren't issued by the central organizations, they aren't accepted as such.

Currency functions as an anchor of value and as a commodity in general. Many countries have their own currency and what they have to do is to sustain, maintain, and boost their economy to retain its face value in relation with dollar. Although the problem with traditional currencies (physical money) is that it is prone to inflation. Meanwhile, crypto is lesser prone to inflation which makes it a better option to store funds.

Hopefully, the countries all over the world will soon notice that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are currency because it can also do what fiat can do.

Congratulations on your business!

It's really nice to read that there are businesses like yours that are already accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as mode of payment. This can help the users to have alternative option for paying and bitcoin as well because collective effort of adoption will lead to mass adoption, that can help encourage more enter of investors as time passes by.

I just wonder though, how much of a hassle are transaction fees and processing time? Does the transaction fee in paying crypto higher than the usual payment methods like e-wallets and banks? How about the processing time? Does it confirm and reflects instantly? Because these are the usual concerns of customers. Of course, as seller you want the best possible option for your consumer and the consumer wants that as well. Glad to hear you are not just after the sales but you educate them as well.

Exactly. This is one of the good things bitcoin offers. It is inclusive - anyone can invest as long as you have the knowledge and capital, may it be big or small. You can buy in installments and you have the authority on when to invest, how much to invest, how long you will hold, and when you will withdraw (all-out or partial of your fund).

This is the biggest difference of investing in bitcoin compared to investing in other investment vehicles. You have the autonomy and it doesn't enclose you to a fix or maintaining balance unlike that of investing and saving in other platforms such as in central organizations. You can buy whenever you want. You can wait the market to be bearish to enter. You can withdraw a portion of your fund or all of it if you want to. And you can hold it for a very long time and your funds will still remain in intact. Just make sure to secure your accounts information because once you have forgotten it, it will be hard for you to access it.

So, I don't think if bitcoin's value will be higher, the lower bracket cannot enter anymore. Remember, bitcoin is volatile so its price can always change depending on the season and market flow of course. One must just have to be smart, strategic, and must have a good timing to be able to buy low, sell high.

I agree.

Most of the time, when the market is in its bullish season, you will see a lot of news and articles saying that the government wants to regulate it. The reason behind this is because they see it as an opportunity to collect more taxes and to control the source of income of the citizens. Meanwhile, when the market is in its bearish season, the government disregard it. They don't pay attention to it as much. However, they spread news that cause FUD to the potential users to shoo them away from investing. They spread false information such as claiming crypto is a scam, a type of ponzi scheme, and the likes.

I would just like to relate the situation here in our country. This isn't really related about bitcoin but on NFT game which trended the past few months which is Axie Infinity. Prior to the game being widely known and played, they stated it is a form of scam. That axie is nothing but a waste of money and not worthy to be invested upon. But right now, axie really boomed and our government want to tax the players now because they knew they were earning. What a clown, right?

In general, the government wants to regulate anything they see doing good and earning money, but they don't care about it when they don't see they can benefit from it.

Well, that's should be expected.

Poor people can't resist any ways to earn money at a very fast phase, that's the reason why they put casinos in such place to gain money for their business, which I think is kinda selfish for a wealthy person who owns a lot of casinos (it's all about money I guess). What makes me sad is that those poor people for sure are illiterate when it comes to decision making, and desperate to earn money for them to ignore the casino nearby to their places.

I hope most of them would realize sooner that it is better to earn money in the hard way (yet safer) unlike spending it on casinos.

I definitely agree with this.

He should retire soon because of his age, because even though he still got the power punches, but he never have enough stamina to withstand a proper training, diet, and punches from his opponents unlike before, in his good old days. However, he is still the one legendary boxer for me, no one could ever change that. The only thing is, he must admit that he's getting older and focus on his family, new career, and so on but not boxing because a serious injury could do bad on his body because of his age.

It won't have any negative impact I guess since they just prohibited sharing links or referral links regarding about gambling. However, social media influencers could still promote it without dropping any link on their content or channel. It is enough already by mentioning it in their video and have a separate social media app for promotions like discord to discuss about it. There are so many ways to promote such things, so overall, gambling sites could still make money like usual without being bother by it.

Casimero delayed their VADA testing with Donaire, because he doesn't want to fight Donaire I guess, and wants Inoue instead. I don't know the reason behind his actions but either of the two power punchers, Casimero is in the tight fight on whoever he'll fight in the future that's why I'm confused why he did delay the VADA testing.

Inoue vs. Donaire season 2 would much likely happen in November-December regarding on the article that I've read. But we still don't know if it is already official or not. See here

Matchbook is the best so far for cricket's betting because of its good bonus, good offer, a lot of odds to choose in betting, a very nice interface that's easy to use, and they are pretty popular to cricket bettor's.

There are plenty of bookies that supports cricket. All you need to do is to make a list of it, look for it personally to decide which one would you like because we shares different opinions when it comes to stuff. It might be a good one for me but there's a chance that you wouldn't like it for yourself.

I strongly agree.

Most people who are acting very hostile on bitcoin are mostly the people who don't even own one to begin with. I also have this guess that maybe they are like that towards bitcoin is because they don't have the means to buy it or invest in it. Hence, they just attack it and hate it so much to the point they spread fake news and FUDs to shaken those who invested in it. Enviousness is also one of the reasons. They don't want other people to invest in it. They want it all for themselves. They don't want to educate other people of its benefits that's why they do all the possible things to let Bitcoin's name be tainted on other people's eyes. These kind of people are greedy.

Other possible reasons could be they have been scammed, they aren't just knowledgeable enough, and they easily believe rumors and gossips they heard or read from different platforms.

It may seem very enticing to do arbitrage nowadays because of possible big profit when you buy the coin in low position, then sell it high. However there are risks. For sure the security have been tight at the present given that the exchangers have been informed about the abuse of platform and services. It's also possible that the exchangers have come up with blocking and banning bots or those who don't belong in that specific location where the price of coin is low. Or maybe, even if you bypass, you can't sell it in other place because it is only exclusive (the buy and sell) in that specific place.

Just like certain products that you can buy cheaply in a certain country. Sometimes these products aren't allowed to be distributed and resold outside the country's premises. It's just exclusive and intended to be consumed by the native citizens.

Here in our country, the situation is very challenging given the pandemic situation we are in. We still haven't bounced back. In fact, we are still stuck inside our homes. I can't recall how many times our government have imposed lockdowns to "contain the virus", yet they always fail because the number of cases reported and recorded each day don't lie. The covid-19 cases here in our country continues to go higher despite the lockdowns and vaccinations. It's very unfortunate for us that we are being led by bunch of incompetent officials.

Right now, I have cryptocurrency as another source of income.  I am fortunate enough to have enough funds to invest in nft games that have become a trend last year and this year. It serves as another stream of income for me to buy the things I need and the things I want. This also serves as my entertainment during this awful situation we are in. If I want to, I can still find additional work, but I have so much on my plate right now that I have to focus on, so I might not entertain the idea of finding another one. I can say I am privileged enough and I am very thankful for it that's why I'm making the most of it despite having dull days.

Valid point. Bitcoin won't be easily dethroned IMO because it has properties that many altcoins do not have. It also has a high market demand making it the leading crypto. The people trust it so much because they've known its benefits and potential. Altcoins value is based upon Bitcoin's price movement. When bitcoin's value goes up, so does the value of altcoins in the market. This just means that it is still the superior among all coins.

I don't see any altcoin at the moment that can be of equal or even surpass bitcoin. As of now, it would be hard for them to establish such given the situation. Although there are numerous coins that also show potential value rise, the data I have analyzed aren't enough to tell if they could also stand the tests of time like what bitcoin did.

Financial stability isn't mandatory to gain big profit from any investment. However, it plays a great role in achieving what you want in life. Money is necessary in order to start off something. Sure, skills, talents, and your characteristics can be of great help but without money, you can't pursue or establish your goal.

Those people who are financially stable have safety net that catches them whenever things don't go the way they planned it to. They will be able to bounce back again faster compared to those people who really have none. The people who also have enough money on their bank accounts don't have to worry much if they will continue holding or they will withdraw because they are used to gambling. They can afford to lose because they always have back ups. Which I really commend because in crypto or any investment you should really just invest what you can afford to lose. There are just instances where people risk all in despite knowing the golden rule to perhaps try to gain because of desperation.

Despite not having financial stability, one can still achieve and gain in crypto. He just have to be determined, strategic, and resourceful enough to gain. In addition, patience and strength of heart will also be one of the great factors to gain.  He must not be easily shaken and must be willing to hodl for long term. Unless of course, emergency situation arises such as need for funds. This one is the really big difference between the financially stable investor and financially unstable investor - the latter will be forced to sell or withdraw his assets to support his needs in life, meanwhile, the former can continue to hodl as long as he wants. But both can gain depending on their methods and decisions, it's just that the financially unstable is at disadvantaged side.

Actually, when your kids has a basic knowledge and know how logic works in a certain situation, no matter what topic you said to them, they will secretly do a research about it and find themselves what are the effects of gambling can do to a certain person once he started playing it, and I'm sure kids won't like it so they will never try it in the first place because they know what will happen to them if they do such thing.

That's why opening their eyes at such a young age is important. Let your kid mature at a very young age roy take care of themselves in this world.

This is only a fact if a casino is not doing well in their business days, but if a casino is doing well, the tax that the government imposed to them will never bother them because it is only a little compare to what they are earning monthly or yearly. This is the reason why starting a business needs a solid plan, a solid marketing strategy, a solid team that will promote and help the business more productive and profitable.

How will the central bank ever improve the uses and value of bitcoin when in fact it is a decentralized speculative asset? Bitcoin is controlled by market demand, not just by any organization there is. Bitcoin and central bank in a sentence shouldn't even be put together. The two are completely different. The one is centralized and the other one is decentralized.

In addition, central banks wouldn't dare to be involved in cryptocurrencies in general because it is not issued by them and it possess a lot of risks. Even the local banks here in our country doesn't acknowledge crypto as a currency so why would the global central organization do so? They wouldn't want to be related with crypto in any way because they see it not as an investment nor currency. As a matter of fact, they most banks see money that came from crypto a 'dirty money'. Hence, you can't deposit a fund that came from cryptocurrencies whether it came from an investment or trading. Anything related with crypto, most banks reject. Unless of course you'll find a bank that is crypto-friendly which is very rare in my country.

To straight forward answer your question, no, bitcoin isn't losing its value. You see, bitcoin has withstood the tests of time. It has shown its potential to the whole community and is still soaring to the top at the present. Mass adoption is slowly happening and the improvement of its features such as processing time and transaction fees are definitely going to happen sooner which means more people will be enticed to invest on it and use it.

It's slowly fulfilling its purpose which is to be a currency which is the primary intended usage of it in the first place. Because of mass adoption by several countries and companies, bitcoin can now be one of the modes of payment and it was even made as a legal tender in El Salvador. It is going places and certainly in the future, more and more people will be knowledgeable about runarounds and how it functions in terms of being a store of value and currency.

I don't think bitcoin would be fit for Afghanistan especially given their current state. Bitcoin is volatile. It requires knowledge about how it works for someone to fully utilize it. In addition, the processing time is longer and transaction fees are higher compared to the usual digital banking. Although I get that bitcoin is really useful if you will really think about it because of its decentralized nature, meaning even Taliban group won't be able to regulate it as much as they would want to; but we must also take into consideration that Afghanistan is a country that is far from being developed. Their citizens would definitely have a hard time most especially if they will just be introduced to bitcoin by now.

I don't think most of their people have resources as well as of now that their country is in chaos. In addition, the establishments that are accepting bitcoin are still limited particularly to the developed countries, hence, using bitcoin would be futile because the adoption in their country doesn't happen yet.
