I honestly invested into a startup that was working to get a "esports media" type of thing, basically it was a digital agency but their customers was mainly companies that wants to address to esports world and also basically help out the gaming companies as well to place themselves in there too.

It wasn't much, it was a small amount but they were starting very early, now they are doing online tournaments because of corona and I realized that no matter what you invest into esports you will lose it because esports is basically just profitable for the gamers that go into it and maybe not even for them as well when you consider they will retire before 30 and then won't have anything to do after 30 if they do not stuck around in the scene. So it wasn't a successful.

If it was used properly it could have helped a lot actually. Think about it, if every single person had a blockchain address, like a wallet but for personal individual being. And all of that people who had address was actually showing some sort of connection with other addresses that they are in contact with, that would mean we could have eliminated all the connections and could have found people who could have in contact with others. In the end we didn't had something like that and honestly people were very very careless about it as well, look at what happened in Italy's south for example.

So, even if blockchain could have been used, there is no chance it could have been properly used by the people, so it would have been an infrastructure for nothing in the end.

Normally governments just print out money out of thin air and that is how they get out of this. Just to give an example in 2008 there was 800 billion printed and given to banks but banks managed to pay back 750 billion of it back already, it was still a horrible move, why?

Because, banks got it in 2008 and took 12 years to not even fully pay it back, sure it meant they didn't get totally bankrupted and destroy the economy but government could have simply paid those banks for ownership and allowed the public to pay less tax after that. Just use tax payers money like an investment and make more money thanks to banks and with that income allow people to pay less tax. In any case, governments do not nationalize everything that easily, it takes a long for that to happen.

Nobody suspected it, you can't just blame people for not seeing how stock markets would be correlated to crypto.

It wasn't really correlated before, why it is now we don't know. However we are in a situation right now when everything loses, not just bitcoin or not just stocks but EVERYTHING is losing, hell even house prices are down right now, HOUSE PRICES, why would a house that worth 100k yesterday would worth 80k today?

I do not understand whats going through peoples minds, I have no clue how this finance crisis things works at all, I am not a financial analyst or anything or I can't even read charts so I don't know why but seriously, right now there is only that small mask type of thing that gained value, aside from that there has been nothing at all.

One week makes so much difference and I can totally understand it. One week ago we were really afraid that bitcoin was going down and now we are saying "well maybe not anymore" and that is what makes a difference in a week in corona as well. One week ago turkey had 1 person infected, today they have 200 with 2 dead another week and who knows.

So, we need to make sure that corona doesn't get worse in the world, we are literally finding ways to cure people now, everyone is working on it, this is a global pandemic, there is no way people are not spending tens of billions of dollars for vaccine this important, but that also doesn't mean that we can't be too cautious. If you have investments keep them, if you can spare some money to back in do it, but if you are in thin ice and do not have too much money, just be careful and stay away and buy what you need.

Technically speaking it shouldn't, I mean trading has nothing to do with corona but that is technically. When it comes to emotions a lot of people actually worry that the economical crisis that is about to come because of corona will cause so many horrible situations that we will need A LOT of money to pay for these, I personally wouldn't want it to happen but that looks like the case that is about to happen and that is what people are afraid of as well.

So, when people are afraid that their money will be gone and everything will be more expensive and life will be harder, what did they do? They sold their stocks, golds, bitcoins and everything they had to stay in cash so they could simply pay for stuff with the cash if they ever get any trouble finding money otherwise.

Yeah, this bitrocket simply showed us what the 2.0 will be about a bit, not the entirety of course there must be some sort of thing that we will yet to see but it did showed some sort of side of the v2.0 that we haven't seen before and the design is basically the 2.0 design because they can't do an overhaul that quickly just for bitrocket, plus he accepted that bitrocket was 2.0 so that means that part of the website will probably not change.

From that look I can say that it is actually quite entertaining looking and I have checked mobile and it was looking kinda alright there as well. Lets see what will happen when they do a whole website overhaul with 2.0 and how we will get to see it. With this corona thing outside and many many people staying in, I am sure these type of games must be getting a lot of attention.

By the looks of it, the hit is not stopping anytime soon and recovery will not be quite quick neither. Maybe the markets will recover eventually, it always does and even in 2008 the market eventually recovered as well, it took years to get back where it was but it did managed to recover and even go higher than 2008 levels, which means it will eventually go back to what it was one day, however it looks like this sudden fall will probably recover after years.

I just hope that Trump gets reelected just so he will have to face what he has done and has to recover from it, dude removed ALL the money stocks made under him with one bad call, he has spent 2 trillion dollars on tax breaks total to make sure the stocks go up and all of that is gone now, that money could have gone to healthcare, education, infrastructure, stuff that wouldn't erode in a day, but he failed at it.

Now the election is near, if someone else takes over they will have to recover for what Trump has done, it would be unfair, let him take care of his own mistakes.

Honestly, I have always suggested that anyone who can get their hands on some DASH masternode should do that with no questions asked. I know that price of Dash could go up and down, it is one of the bigger losers since the 2017 peak and that is why not many people really like to get a masternode from Dash since it wouldn't really make them rich even if it was giving out 25% yearly interest because the price dropped a lot.

But, I think at its all time high one masternode was worth over a million dollars if I am not wrong, that means buying one at 65 thousand if you can would make you richer not by just giving you a decent return every single day, but also giving you profits when it will go up. It is dash after all, I am not expecting it to go away anytime soon.

Looking at bitcoin this was once again wrong. I am not one for bragging but I honestly said it won't or at least it doesn't have to. What people do not realize is, you can't predict bitcoins price in the future, if anyone could have done it perfectly, they would have been billionaires right now.

Not even joking, if you can guess bitcoin price correctly just 20 times back to back whenever it makes a big move, you could start with 100 dollars and become a billionaire by the time it ends if you could pick the tops and bottoms correctly. It moves so high and so quickly that there is literally no way you can't make money. We have seen here how close to impossible it is to predict what bitcoin could do, it could go up or down without any reason at all and we can't predict it.

If the printing of money goes higher that would affect the inflation all around the world, if you even forgive debts that would cause inflation, if you do basically anything out of ordinary that would help people financially for the short term that usually leads to inflation.

If something affects inflation what happens? The prices of everything goes higher as well, you had 80 dollars but could buy 80 apples with it, now you have 100 dollars and feel richer thanks to some help from easing yet you check and you can still only buy 80 apples with 100 dollars. This could cause bitcoin to go up. This is probably the best layman terms I can explain why it could affect bitcoin. However, do not forget that these are huge nations and governments and inflation usually is very low for them, I doubt we would see anything drastic.

When you want to buy oranges, do you value apples more or watermelons more? This is literally like that. If the only thing you are looking for is a quick short term profit, sentiment and TA has both failed people over and over again. TA offers a realistic approach that may work and that is why many people use it since it could at least tell you what bitcoin "should" do and many people care about it, of course bitcoin rarely ever does anything it should do but only does what it wants to do. However, sentiment is rarely right as well so that doesn't work neither.

So, it is totally useless to rely on both of them. What can only work is the idea that bitcoin is a long term profit machine that you can buy and forget for 5 years and comeback to make a lot of money, if you can wait that long and can afford to get some now, that would be the best investment you made, however if you can't, there is no right way to make a short term trade on bitcoin.

The payment for bounty is supposed to be paid. Doing bounty is not an easy job, this is a really difficult work to do, you have to make posts and at the same time you have to be sure that you’re writing really good posts and all that, it’s just not easy. It is really annoying when you do such a hard work and burning internet data for a long time and after all that they will not pay you.

It can be frustrating. Bounty hunters should be very careful on what projects they choose and avoid managers with bad records. You do have a good idea but another thing is whether it’s something that’s possible to be done or not.

Yes, it is more about investing your time instead of investing your money in this situation. You put your time and effort into something that could turn out to be something bad but also you are promoting something to people that could very well also turn out to be bad as well which means just like everyone else who puts in money to that project because of you, you are losing something as well (but in hunters situation it is not money but time).

I do see it as a lose-lose for the both party but at least we know that bounty hunters are not profiting while investors they dragged in losing. If you want to be a good bounty hunter then you will pick good ones and you will promote them and when others win, they will like you for suggesting them a good bounty or a good project.

Bitcoin is still the leading coin which is why it is seen as such an influential currency. When bitcoin does something it affects every coin around it since it is such a huge one. We are not talking about just a coin that has a bigger market value than other coins, we are talking about a coin that worths more than ALL OTHER COINS COMBINED and that is something we can't really ignore.

Dollar is seen valuable for example, but you can't just combine all other fiats and still be under the value of all dollars. That is exactly why we care about what bitcoin will do to see what altcoins will do, not that it has to be correlated at all times but I can tell you that it will be somehow related if bitcoin makes a big move up or down, no idea how altcoins will react but they certainly will.

I totally disagree with the notion that freelancing is a bad business idea. If you know anything that could be freelanced you are opening yourself to whole world while also having more competition but if you are only doing regular 9-5 office work you are basically limiting yourself to business that is around you and that is not something I would limit myself to honestly. Also what you are forgetting that you can literally make money with the freelancing skills by also doing it yourself as well.

Let's say you are a coder, you can code for yourself, if you are a designer you can design for yourself, if you are a writer you can write for yourself, all of those could bring in money as well. Freelancing is basically art if you ask me and artists will always find a way to live.
