You bought bitcoin and sold it out to solve problem and you are asking if bitcoin is for everyone. Your story is different from the topic I don't know if I am the only person that see or think it from that way. Moreover this topic has been in the discussion in the forum for some times now so it would have been a comment on another thread. Like if I will discuss base on your topic it should be something related to this. You have seen people are interested to bitcoin but lack the knowledge or there is no money to join and other ignorant factors that affecting them so indirectly those people have been edge out from the technology. And also the illiterates market women. These are some of the factors in the topic.

Those who have the knowledge and come to join the technology is already part and parcel of it. And you that is already in the system is still asking if bitcoin is for everyone. Op, yes bitcoin is for everyone but not everyone can use it because knowledge.
Your reply brings up an important point for discussion: the difference between how Bitcoin could be used and how it is actually used. Today, information is easy to find, but wisdom, or real understanding, is harder to find. Bitcoin is no different. There are problems with it, even though it has the ability to be a universal currency. Not only are these barriers physical, but they are also thoughts-based.

Okay, so people do talk about Bitcoin. They argue about its pros and cons. But how many people really get it? Just how many people know the difference between a wallet and an exchange? What about Bitcoin and blockchain? Its not enough to just have Bitcoin; you need to understand it, respect its power, and use its promise in a smart way. Your point about how information can separate people is very important. Bitcoin might be good for everyone in the long run, but in the here and now? For those who really take the time to understand
3402  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Evolution of Money: From Barter system to Bitcoin on: October 29, 2023, 08:04:00 AM
I think that with digitalization, paper money will soon be out of circulation. The development of digital payment methods, the development of the banking system and the emergence of cryptocurrencies prove this. In this period we are living in, digital fiat money is already widely used, but even though it is used digitally, it has inflation due to its fiat feature and is used physically. Cryptocurrencies have become inevitable for payment systems at this point.

Even the high commission fees charged by the banking system for international money transfers are an important reason to use cryptocurrencies. We can include bitcoin in payment systems, but for me, bitcoin is digital gold. Because btc is much closer to gold in terms of value retention and inflation protection. To realize a payment system that will be very common in the market, we will need usdt style coins. With the regulations that will take place in the crypto markets, crypto will be permanent for the payment system.
Your analysis of the current shift from paper to digital is very sharp. People are rightly looking closely at the standard banking system, which has a lot of obvious problems, like the high fees for sending money between countries. Then came cryptocurrencies, which are supposed to save us. But lets take a moment to think about this critically.

As you correctly pointed out, Bitcoin isnt always our first choice for popular payments. Its main purpose is to protect value, similar to gold. Because it changes quickly, it cant be our daily business savior. This is why steady coins like the USDT are important. But the change to an economy based on crypto isnt going smoothly. Its full of risks and unknowns, mostly because there arent enough strong rules. Cryptos wont really be able to take off until there is a complete system in place for regulating them.

Its incredibly strange that most people dont know much about the past and essence of money in a time when financial stability and goals are important. Its unbelievable and frankly wrong. As you correctly pointed out, Bitcoin has opened many people's eyes to the truth about how bad our money systems are.

Blockchain and decentralisation arent just trendy words; they're a big change in how we think about deals and value. Its time for people to stop living in the dark and start learning. Bitcoin isnt just a trend; it shows how bad our old banking systems are at what they do. We'll be better prepared for the future if we understand its importance and what it tells us about current processes as soon as possible.
3404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino is a Games of Chance and Entertainment on: October 28, 2023, 04:23:35 AM
It's a valid point you’ve made. Casinos are primarily entertainment venues, and most of their games are designed to be games of chance. The house always has an edge, which means that over the long term, the casino is more likely to make money than the players. People should approach casino games as a form of entertainment and be prepared for the possibility of losing money. It's also crucial to gamble responsibly, being mindful of the risks involved and ensuring it remains a fun and enjoyable activity rather than a financial strategy or source of stress.
Not many people know and don't even want to know that the dealer will always win more money than the user, even though it is always clearly said everywhere that it is difficult to win against the casino, so don't ever hope to get consecutive wins when gambling because it all depends on luck, because without it it will not be possible to win against the dealer.

Talking about luck in every game, sometimes we get luck and win, for smart people they will go withdraw money then rest gambling for some time but for those who are not smart they will continue playing then they will be beaten cruelly by the dealer, it all depends on the method The mindset of each gambler is that sometimes when they gamble, they want to make a lot of money, they will be trapped and greedy, but if it is for entertainment and having fun, they are more controlled in gambling and even understand the risks better. so they look more like wise gamblers.
You wouldnt believe how many people choose to stay in the dark when the light is right there in front of them. Yes, the odds are stacked in favor of the dealer and the casino. Its not hard to understand. This is something that people should understand and see. Still, hope makes things less clear, doesnt it? They start gaming because they think they can beat the system. However, luck is such a tricky lady.

Let us now talk about luck and the silly ways people think about it. What do you do when luck strikes just once? The smart ones get the message and back off, or "step back." Other people? It looks like they think they've cracked some code because they go deeper. They are locked up by their own greed. You're in a better place if you gamble for fun and excitement. But what if its for the money? Welcome to the spiral of losses that never end.

This Filipina did not even expect she won the grand prize on lottery instead she thought of winning just consolation prizes. Lucky for her she had that financial stability for 25 years as $6,670+ a month here in the Philippines is pretty huge.

https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/pinoyabroad/content/882861/pinay-wins-over-p387-000-a-month-for-25-years-in-emirates-draw/story/

I am not lucky in lottery or any gambling casinos but way back in 2017 the only luck I encountered was I gambled with the risk of joining bounty hunting on this forum and it is worth it.

How about you guys, are you having a good fortune on your gambling career? Do you ever think of quitting after you won a jackpot?
We all have different stories in life so we cannot expect the same things to happen to us. This woman has been lucky and i just hope she doesn’t let gambling into her head and decide to keep playing because this win would make her believe in it and see it as a her career because if she does she they would definitely wreck her.

I have never seen gambling as a career may be because i have not been a lucky gambler and i have never won a significant amount before. I am not lucky in any gambling games though i have not tried lottery but i have won some few games in sports betting casinos even though it is not a significant amount but i have managed to win a few times.

Thinking of quitting gambling? I have never thought of it and i am not an addict of gambling. I gamble casually when i feel like at my own leisure so i don’t think i will quit gambling any time soon and even though i eventually hit a jackpot my perception of gambling will still be the same.
Theres luck, fate, and the tempting thought that you might just hit the big one. The truth is that we all have our own lives. Some are warnings, and others sound like they came straight out of a fairy story. But you're exactly right when you say that one win shouldnt limit the choices you make in your life. It is pretty cool, isnt it? A big win can completely change a person's idea of whats normal or possible. Its not necessary that every gamble after hitting that prize will be the same.

For you, the appeal of gambling isnt going after the money, but the thrill of the unknown every once in a while. Basically, its like playing for fun, but with the added thrill of possibly winning big. Although its interesting to think about how winning (or losing) changes our view of the world. Not losing that grounded view could make all the difference, even if you win the lottery. Actually, putting a small amount of money on a random roll of the dice is not the same thing as putting your whole future on the line.
3406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 28, 2023, 03:47:20 AM
Dortmund's win against Newcastle at their home will be a big boost to their confidence as they are now in a good position both in the UCL and the bundesliga, I can say the mentality of Dortmund this season is different and they don't look like they will be settling for an average performance, if they should add some more consistency to their current performance, they are sure going to do so well this season.

Usually they are known to train young players and develop their talents and probably at some point sell them off but it's looking like this season they will want to achieve a lot with them before selling them off, although we would want to say it still early to say if they will be able to achieve a lot from their recent performance as they still have a lot of league games to play but then I think they are doing so well enough already.
Even while I recognize Dortmund's recent success (particularly against Newcastle) Im more excited about their upcoming away match. Their opponents have been on a run, scoring six goals in their most recent match, if rumors are to be believed. That is crazy! But here is my opinion: Dortmund has to be consistent. No matter how significant a victory is, it does not define a season. Regarding selling youthful talent, Im confident Dortmund would accept a tempting offer if it were made. This time, they have to disprove me

And this is the another guy where people said better than Ronaldo Tongue.



Sadly the football international award is full of corruption, this is why Ronaldo isn't included in Ballon d'Or nomination. If FIFA is fair, Ronaldo will always become a nomination in Ballon d'Or and won more than FIFA's child.

Damn  Grin
However, I don’t think Ronaldo should be nominated this year, age matters and Ronaldo is no longer playing in Europe, so any statistics are worthless.
Messi, in turn, should not be nominated either, since age has also affected him and he has not been playing at the top level for several years. But unfortunately, corruption has not gone away and this year the obvious number 1 Haaland will be robbed.
I dunno why messi was winning the ballon d'or again. Messi was also no longer played in the europa league as well. I think that there's something wrong in underground this time. Ronaldo was not so ambitious as before.
he cares even more about the reality of his life instead of thinking about ballon d'or. The corruption will never be gone away. It will always stay caused by some people were so greedy as fucks in taking everything from others.
Why shall messi be nominated this year? He was also leaving at the same time when ronaldo was also leaving from united and join in the al nassr.

hmmmm




This is not a good place to compare Messi and Ronaldo but both players left the European league and they prefer to play in a country where they can earn more money and help their families. As you know Ronaldo had a much more successful career even after he left the European leagues because now in Al Nassr, Ronalod is the most important player there while he is usually the best player in the month in Saudi League.

I agree that Messi and Ronaldo are both very important in football, but I dont think its time to compare how they play in teams outside of Europe just yet. Ronaldo has been playing great lately for Al Nassr, and theres no doubt that hes given the Saudi League a boost. Messi hasnt done that, though. If he does join a team in the Saudi Pro League, though, I think we'll have a better idea of whats going on. Without a question, Ronaldo is shining there right now, but Messi's impact is still unknown.
3408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 28, 2023, 03:18:12 AM
It seems that Chelsea will have to focus on the league cup and other related lower cups in England but for the English premier League, it is becoming obvious that Chelsea might make the top 4 again this year. My interest is no about Chelsea improving theoretically, the problems is how many matches have they won. In the England, if you don't win matches you will not be feared and one of the factors that make teams win matches is their ability to humiliate other teams. If your team has lost that fear, the can be played by anyone as ordinary team and that is the worse than could happen to anyone.
I think Chelsea is focusing more of their energy on the premier league compared to the league cup because they want to reach a better level by the end of the competition. I think Pochettino was targeting a top 4 position in his first season with Chelsea and they have been able to improve their performance in their last few games. Currently chelsea is in 10th place in the standings and they are 8 points adrift of Liverpool in 4th place.

I think they have to work extra hard in the next match so they don't lose any more points. In this week's match, Chelsea will face Brentford, where they might be able to maximize their chances of getting 3 points in order to improve their ranking in the standings table. And in November Chelsea will face quite tough opponents such as Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle United and Brighton.
Of course! Im getting more and more worried about Chelsea's Premier League goals. Pochettino needs to pay full attention to the league. With Chelsea still in 10th place, there is a big gap between them and the top 4. The Brentford game is very important. Given how well Brentford has been playing lately, I really think they have a great chance with this game. But with games against Tottenham, Manchester City, and others after that? There is no denying the task. When injured players like Nkunku and Broja come back, it could change the game. I would use the same approach that Pochettino used against Arsenal if I were him.

Liverpool did bad in the Premier League last season and so that they are struggle in the Europa League this season. We can consider them as the favorite team for UEFA Europa League this season. Liverpool success won 3 of 3 matches in Europe League. Despite not playing all of Liverpool's core players under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool defeated Toulouse 5-1 at home.
Liverpool is definitely displaying great promise this season, judging by their recent Europa League success. Even without their best players, they defeated Toulouse handily, demonstrating the depth of talent in the team. It is evident from the fact that Klopp's team scored five goals against such a formidable opponent, I feel. Even if they didnt perform well in the Premier League the previous year, their present performance indicates they're ready for a successful campaign in both domestic and European leagues. However, given the unpredictable nature of football, it is imperative that both the team and the supporters avoid becoming complacent. Will Liverpool be able to keep up this pace throughout? Im glued to the screen
3410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 27, 2023, 02:03:22 PM
Unlike you, I'm not sure at all about Enrique being successful in PSG. In fact, PSG had many superstar players in the last season they could help the team like Messi but they didn't have a good coach like Enrique in his team, Now when some players left PSG for the other teams, Enrique started working there but still I don't think if Enrique is enough to help PSG improve the team.
I think PSG still can't earn achievements in the Champions League.

But at least we have to give Luis Enrique chance to prove that he can advance to the next round. if PSG can qualify, maybe there is a slight chance of reaching the final, even though they will still lose because it too early for PSG to get the title in Champions League, but if about the title in League 1, PSG has a chance it is still very big to lead in first place in points table at the end of the season, even if you only rely on Mbappe, PSG performance seems to be quite strong and we remember the past when Messi was still at the club, the failure in champions league still the same as the previous problem, namely because it has not deserves the champions league trophy.
I think it is important to give Luis Enrique a chance. Getting the UCL in their first year has been hard for many leaders, even the best ones. So, calling into question his abilities this early on is a bit unfair. The odds are better for PSG in Ligue 1, though. I saw that they are only two points behind Monaco. They should still be able to win the title if they beat Brest, which I think they will. Even though they have failed in the UCL before with a star-studded team, let's not give up on them too quickly. This might be best handled with patience.

`

We can't really take the performance of barcelona in UCL as a measurement of the club. I meant the competitors of barcelona in the UCL was weak teams. Barclona may get stolen by real madrid in the upcoming game. Madrid was not only coming with the different squad.
This club is also having everything to beat barcelona at this season started from a good attacking midfielder and striker at the same time. Some wingest that were coming back again after they was hibernated like vini due to the injury and many more.
I think that there's no reason to call that if barcelona will be dominating the current game. In fact, barcelona is slowly but surely was going through hard fixtures that will come soon.

Barcelona was also playing so well in UCL but it was only against weakest teams that being placed in the same time. Im still doubting barcelona at this moment. it seems like that this club will not able to beat madrid with the current suqad.
The club needs someone like lewandowski. Barcelona didn't have great attacker this time. Lewandoski was always able positioning himself better than barcfelona
When it comes to Barcelona's current UCL play, I have to agree with you. Looking at their group rounds, it looks like they had a nice time! Yes, they're ahead in their group, but they're still playing teams that arent very well known. In the previous season, they played big teams like Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. That was really hard! When it comes to Real Madrid, I dont think Barcelona's present team can compete with them now that they have a new look and players like Vini are back. Does Barcelona not have a strong striker? Its impossible! After all, they do need someone like Lewandowski. I wont bet a dime that they can beat Madrid until they make such big changes
3412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 27, 2023, 01:18:43 PM
I also believe that Barcelona will still be able to play well even without its main players. But even so, I personally predict that it will still be difficult for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid in the El Clasico match this moment. Because yes, even though Barcelona has managed to go undefeated so far this season, but in reality Barcelona doesn't always win every match. Therefore, if for example Barcelona can play well in this match, then maybe a draw would be a good result for Barcelona. Because yes, I personally still quite confident that Real Madrid has a chance to win this match or yes, a draw could happen. Who know
Some Barcelona players have recovered from their injury. I assume Lewandowski and Raphinha will play again in the upcoming El Clasico. There is no problem anymore in their attacking line. I only doubt about Barcelona midfield, Pedri and De Jong are still injured. But they still have some options (Gavi, Gundogan, and Romeu). While in the defense line, Kounde is the only player who won't be ready to play. So, I think Barcelona still can play with a good lineup.

By the way, Barcelona is more superior in the last El Clasico. They won the last El Clasico, now they also play at home. I think Barcelona has a chance to win the match although it won't be easy because Real Madrid is in a good form. So, we can't underestimate Barcelona, they know well how to beat Real Madrid.


When I see how bad Barcelona's team is, I get very worried about the next El Clasico. Their attack will be stronger if Lewandowski and Raphinha come back, but Im worried about the middle of the field. Even if Gavi and Gundogan step up, Barcelona's core looks weak without Pedri and De Jong. In the last match, Barcelona was the better team. But the way Real Madrid is playing right now, I think Xavi's team might have trouble. Not having Kounde on defense makes me even more worried. I really hope Barcelona shows me wrong, but the injuries make it look like they wont.
3413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 27, 2023, 12:57:12 PM

Juventus have the best chance of winning the league title this season followed by Inter Milan and AC Milan. Those who follow Juventus matches regularly will understand the changes in Juventus. Juventus have been able to change themselves a lot since last season. With the way AC Milan and Inter Milan are currently performing, it will not be surprising if Juventus move to the number one position in the points table in the next match. If Juventus can win the title this season, it won't be bad at all. Juventus have got full points in three of the last five matches, they have lost one point and they have gained one point in one match. I hope they will have 100 percent victory in the next five matches

Juventus certainly doesn`t have the cup commitments that drain so much energy and resources so they can easily concentrate only on the Italian championship, but honestly I don`t think they have a team that will allow them to win the scudetto.
Inter remains the best candidate to win the Scudetto.
Yes, it is! As Juventus is not participating in the Champions League or Europa League this year, they have more time to prepare their Serie A team. Just having a more defined timetable, in my opinion, does not, however, ensure a Scudetto. Inter has proven remarkably consistent, despite their obligations in Europe. Furthermore, keep in mind that Juventus is only two points behind Inter. Although the race is close, my preference is for Inter to win because of their strength and form right now. Although they have more time on their side, does Juventus have a strong enough squad? We'll see in time.
3414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to build a career with bitcoin? on: October 27, 2023, 12:33:44 PM
Good to see that your brother made the investment in the bear market and was able to earn this profit.  I have also seen many people who bought on that time when bitcoin was 60k+ and still waiting for it to recover.  So in these aspects I would say your brother was lucky.
Even then I will tell you to suggest your brother to buy bitcoins again including all his profits.  Because I don't think $9000 is a huge amount in this era, but if he can hold that one bitcoin for a few more years, then it will be seen that he has been able to achieve a big profit. Because the bull run has not started yet. Adopt a long-term investment strategy if you want to build a career in Bitcoin.  Moreover, you can build a career by providing services with the skills you have and earn bitcoins as payment.
Recognition that investment methods arent luck-based is crucial. If your brother's decision was intelligent or impulsive, it worked well, but calling it "luck" minimizes its strategy. However, lets analyze your idea. Reinvesting all gains in Bitcoin is your recommendation. I appreciate the desire for a long-term Bitcoin plan, but the crypto market is volatile. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are continuously developing, facing regulatory issues and market changes.

Building a profession around Bitcoin services is exciting, but risky. One must keep up with crypto changes and use modern security. Just earning Bitcoin isnt enough. Success depends on protecting that asset, understanding geopolitics, and adapting to technology. Its about long-term resilience, not just the bull run.
3415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin, human rights, authoritarianism and war on: October 27, 2023, 12:04:35 PM
Bitcoin's potential to change geopolitics and power dynamics is hard to ignore. Bitcoin's decentralization and blockchain transparency may dissuade totalitarian countries from manipulating finances. Conversely, Bitcoin's freedom-promoting capabilities can be used to fund covert activities, dodge sanctions, and support authoritarian regimes.

Historical monetary colonialism offers a fascinating analogy. Traditional currencies supported by powerful governments often subjugated entire people. Bitcoin could break these chains and level the playing field for Palestine if it dominates. Theres also Bitcoin's volatility and the possibility of massive accumulation by a few. Wealth concentration may unintentionally create power asymmetries and hierarchies.
3416  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Give Bitcoin investment time on: October 27, 2023, 11:37:57 AM
Unfortunately, when people buy Bitcoin, they expect huge profits within a short period of time. This is the source of panic and fud that is exhibited by many Bitcoin investors.
It's not Bitcoin that needs time but we are the ones who actually need time. We sometimes expect too much of something instantly. Even though we understand the meaning of investment. In any investment, we definitely need time so that we can achieve the targets we expect. We ourselves set the time until when we can achieve this target. If our desire is to invest in Bitcoin to become rich or get many times the profit in a very short time then you could say we are not investing, but rather something that forces circumstances to our will. without considering various surrounding factors. Bitcoin is something very valuable and that's for sure. and there will come a time when Bitcoin will rise again to its previous target until it exceeds it. so let ourselves be more patient and not rush into investing.
Its very smart to point out that its not Bitcoin that needs time, but us. Today, people are impatient and always want things right away. This is a big problem, especially when it comes to investing. Just for a moment, though, think about what investment is. At its core, its a test of how patient, tough, and smart you are. Its not investing to expect huge results in a short amount of time. Thats speculation and gambling. You are exactly right; trying to get the market or any object like Bitcoin to do what we want it to do without thinking is a very risky game.

 Yes, Bitcoin has value and a huge amount of promise. But getting into the crypto world takes a deep understanding of both how the market works and how to keep your wallet safe. Hacking efforts are on the rise, and digital assets are always at risk, so protecting your investments is very important. We need to know whats going on, be alert, and wait. Then we can really use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for what they're meant to do.
3417  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs the government on: October 27, 2023, 11:14:05 AM
That's why I often tell people, don't listen to what politicians, billionaires, and bankers say but look at what they are doing. Frankly speaking, no one wants to share wealth with others, especially billionaires and rich people, they never want poorer people than them to become rich like them. Therefore, they will find ways to prevent others from becoming rich. I also believe that the people who slander bitcoin the most are the people who are secretly buying the most bitcoin, and they are trying to slander bitcoin in the media just because they don't want to share bitcoin with others.

As it's always said in the real world, "the rich get richer, while the poor get poorer". We live in an unequal society where the "elite" get to dictate the rules of our society. These people often tell lies for their own benefit. Otherwise, everyone would have the same social standing. Governments are smart because they secretly buy and accumulate Bitcoin, while giving the public a bad perception about it. The same can be said about rich people like Donald Trump (it was discovered he had a wallet with ETH in it) and Elon Musk (often criticizes Bitcoin's "high energy consumption" but still owns a considerable amount of the cryptocurrency).

You should not make your decisions based on someone else's opinion. Instead, do your own research to help determine what's best for you. One way or another, the world will embrace Bitcoin as an alternative to Fiat. The question is, have you accumulated enough BTC to prepare yourself for the future? Just my thoughts Grin
Society has, in fact, made up a story that serves the needs of those at the top. People with money and power often change the story to keep their place. Theres a clear story here, right? The strong quietly buy Bitcoin while working to make people not trust it. People like Trump and Musk have the nerve to publicly criticize or play down Bitcoin while also investing in the crypto world. This contrast is not a mistake; it is part of a plan.

You're exactly right: mindlessly following the elite's words and actions is a trap. When making personal choices, especially about assets like Bitcoin, people should do their own study and learn as much as they can. Decentralized banking is the way of the future. The real challenge is getting ready for this coming change, even though the world is slowly starting to see Bitcoin's potential. Will we stay like slaves or will we break free and decide our own future?

Many cheer Bitcoin's price rise, but its important to analyze its implications. A greater Bitcoin price can attract more investors and offer credibility to the digital currency, allowing it to enter new industries. Does the market have the maturity to manage such quick appreciation?

Bitcoin's price rise has major effects. Bitcoin's acceptance by industry as a legal payment option could change global transactional dynamics. Adoption brings scrutiny and regulatory issues. The long-term view requires a strategic understanding of the changing crypto ecosystem, but this price increase may benefit us in the short term. Ready for it, are we? More importantly, is the crypto world ready for this growth?

But heres where it gets mind-boggling: whats the point of having top-tier security if the user experience falls apart? We're talking about losing access to huge amounts of money because you forgot your login. Thats not safety; thats the start of an existential problem!

I can see why people would want ultra-secure gadgets, especially in the crypto world. But there has to be a balance. Crypto users and fans need to carefully weigh the pros and cons. Does it really worth the stress? Theres a huge hole in user-centered design, even though some might argue in favor of such strict security measures. Devices like this might be fading away, but the scars they leave behind? Those linger.

The fact that cryptocurrency is being linked to real-world assets like real estate shows how the economy is changing. But, demanding extra money to accept crypto? This is an example of how highly uncertain and volatile digital currencies are still. If buyers think crypto is risky, they will try to protect themselves from that risk. This looks like what they're doing. Even though crypto is breaking new ground and pushing the limits, there are still problems and doubts that keep it from being fully accepted.

Whats the weirdest thing I've bought with crypto? A porn membership. You did hear that right. But thats both the beauty and the complexity of crypto: it can be used for almost anything, from buying land to more... private pleasure. But the real question we should be asking is: what does the usage of crypto for these types of purchases signify about the direction of our modern economy?
