The pros as far as I know, they have a managers that help them get through events and such, I think it leans more on being a professional rather than business. I do not think that pros do not call it a job either but for me putting in effort and time to do something should be considered a job, if you want to survive as a pro player, I think that you should also portion your winnings into something that gives a growth like stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrency.

In my opinion, this people that are living out their life through gambling is the most ballsy type of people because every pro aims to get your money and anytime you could lose it.

XRP is in a bad spot right now, but don't lose hope. My advice for OP is to hodl which is obvious, the price drops seems to be artificial because it is conveniently coinciding with the litigation of the SEC. This happened to other companies back then, a bad PR did result in price drop but I think that it will definitely bounce back, one that I can remember back then was Chipotle having been accused causing a stomach problems.

I think that they are legal, this would never go unnoticed for far too long. I also found a blog that says that their livestream is legal, the blog says that it is free although it is a 2019 article. I think that paying more for betting is justifiable in their case because most games are pay-per view and they are livestreaming it for free. To be honest, some policies are not that sharpened enough to be always enforced, like a hydra, trying to cut of the head of one only sprouts two more so the authorities might have grown tired of repeat offenders, they might be enforced for a year but some of them lose sheen as time goes by.

They do not change base on sustainability, they adapt because they see profit in bitcoin. The reason that the former CEO says that about bitcoin is that is because of the volatility which is understandable at that time, why would you hedge on something that could go down overnight, right? Pretty ironic that they changed their stance and integrate bitcoin in their payment system.

America is not a country, what you are referring to is the United States of America. I agree that America has a lot of achievements, Canada has the best Healthcare system in the continent, Machu Picchu in Peru, Atomic Bomb was first developed in the USA via Manhattan Project. I guess the problem is not whether the government is left or right, the real problem is extremism in both sides which does not benefit the people, if you think that someone does not deserve to be a leader, then what is your qualification to say that you are right with what you are saying? Are you seeing what is happening around you? Do you have a just moral compass? Do you think you have the reforms that the country needs? By saying they are corrupt, is the alternative better?

If USA does not solve their problem about racism and ignorance, I think that no matter what we say about it, they will just implode.

With more companies more than ever, I do think that it will be more common that there will be a lot of addresses doing a lot of transactions. I do agree about removing prejudice towards high traffic address, they could be innocent and what I think a "dodgy" one will do is to spread the transactions to prevent suspicions and to blend in with the crowd, the best hiding spot is plain sight. Do not worry about it OP, they do not affect you in any way and sometimes dipping your toes somewhere you do not know might lead you into some rabbit hole you might regret getting in.

My mantra when it comes to charities is if the charity is big and famous then do not help them, instead you should be looking for charities and NGO's that are helping a small community and needs funding. I would also like to add to donate to your favorite creators in any platforms, most of my picks are available in Patreon so I might as well plug them here. I agree with you in regards to helping those near you but sometimes the best help that you can do is to support them, not every help is monetary. And to everyone that is going to help people, always impart them a message like "If you ever have the chance to help others like I helped you then do it, spread kindness."

I know that you do not have any ill intentions regarding your post but let me tell you now that people will not heed your advice no matter, they have their own minds to decide what to do and I think that you should understand. There will be people who will agree with you that's for sure but do not drill in your ideals to other, let it seep in. And if the time comes that you are right then it is their fault not yours. I did what you said a long time ago and I think it is a good way to have a secure albeit uncertain future. Let the people regret their decisions OP.

As long as you pay to be on the top of Search Engine, Google does not mind. I have been following a scam baiter Youtuber and most scam call centers that he is attacking are using SEO's to get on top of the Search Engine, these scam websites are paying a lot of money and Google does not take action.

I had the same reaction and question too, I do think that this is something done by someone that has been on the forum for a long time. I am not accusing anyone, I am merely speculating because this could help boost the interaction in the forum and in a way creates an artificial increase in the traffic in the forum. I might be wrong though as it could be a poisoning that is happening.
Google does not care as far as I know, as OP said, this might just be a SEO's. If Google cared about this, then a lot of scam websites would not use SEO to poison the search engines.

It might be a good thing but consider what happens when there are a lot of start ups that will start pouring in when it becomes a regulation. They can't handle that influx and they can't discriminate because they need to follow the regulation, the Congress might find a way to this solution but I think what they are curing is not the disease but the symptoms. I do not think that money is the only thing that a crypto business or small business needs, there are more better things than giving them loans like insurances and business protection or reduced business requirements or tax cuts.

I agree with your insight, in my country, I did observe that the gap between the have a lot (upper class), have some (middle class) and have nothing (lower class) is getting bigger by the day, what I would not agree with you is your second statement that each coin might be the next bitcoin because nowadays, most coins that is introduced into the market are just a weaker clone of the stronger ones in the market, it will be a dangerous behavior because you are prone to hypes that lead to nowhere which could put you into a series of financial misfortunes.

Bitcoin in my opinion did serve its purpose, it is the people that uses it that failed, they never believed that it will go that far and now look at where bitcoin is at.

Have to back this one up, African continents tend to rely more on cashless transfers because most of the countries tend to fall into inflation. Not to mention that security and peace is still not that developed for some places I guess, so having your fiat at hand will make things worse. I always see that Nigeria is on the news when it comes to cryptocurrency, I guess they do know the potential that it can bring.

I do not think that hodling alone will be good for everyone, I do believe in balance so I am currently dividing my bitcoin into half, the first half being hodl and the other half being cashed out whenever the time comes to cash out. As you have said, the price constantly rise which means that we should take the opportunity to get a piece of that ATH pie.

If there is no reform in financial aspects globally, only the 1% will benefit from it, no matter how good the news is, there is always someone who will exploit the system if we let them be. Tax havens also do not employ their people when they are dealing with a shell companies, most employees come from the original country that the shell company's real owner came from. Tax havens are rife with corruption.

The halving really did stand out, hopefully that it will different this year because that can only mean that the market will become predictable. I had seen this post shared by my friend in a social media platform. The funny thing about this list is that ATH always hits at the last month of the year even though the halving happened over a month.

It will not be a good practice in the long run, as a business owner, if you are giving the salary at bitcoin and at a given price point, you will eventually hit a roadblock where you can't afford to pay for the salary because the prices, it will be a good thing for the employees because the salary can go up after payday. This won't be a problem for businesses that are on retail or product selling because they can integrate bitcoin in their payment system.

A central currency will only be possible if there is only one government which is close to impossible because China, Russia and US exists and they are both on a stalemate which is a good thing. I do not think that mass adoption will be the answer to the problem, if possible I think the best is mass introduction, if they have a knowledge then they might consider. Sadly, people do not care about economics because it does not affect them directly which is understandable, but that is what keeping those in upper class in power, they rely on the ignorance of the masses.

I do not think that there is a need for KYC, there is no affiliate links, you just need to download the browser extension and buy item from the stores that they are partnered. You can try using VPN but you also need to configure your geolocation.

Yeah I have heard some but they do not seem to pique my interest because some tournaments have boring team brackets, it is a good thing that they are still hosting tournaments. The next International would probably get the biggest prize pool because another Battlepass will surely come next year, hopefully Sweden does not see an influx of infection at this time onward so they can continue the most awaited tournament.
