If I am getting you right, you mean infinite in time or in value? Nothing man-made is infinite in time. Bitcoin like any other creation will live for a time and then become obsolete, change into something else or simply disappear as everything in history except human stupidity - but that was given by the gods   I understand your question is merely philosophical, in practice bitcoin will last for a period of time, but it may be quite a long period indeed. Being first matters a lot in terms of trust and community and bitcoin was the first reasonably successful attempt at creating a decentralised digital mean of exchange.

If you mean infinite in value... well, just do not take The Simpsons as financial advice. Even if they do not have a disclaimer about it.

Most people in the world do not get the chance of doing anything remarkable in their lives. Many may do things that are significant for them, but usually, chances of doing something that will change humanity, its culture and its way of thinking are remote. People involved in the French Revolution, artists in the Renaissance, philosophers in ancient Athens, ... they did things that left the world changed.

Most of us have some bitcoin. A few have a lot of bitcoin. Just think that for any reason, in 5 years or 10 years, something happened that dropped bitcoin value or made the network unusable or whatever event or combination of events made it impossible to use it any longer. As far as I am concerned, I can say "I was there and, at least, it was something great and I was part of it". When bitcoin fades, the way people think about currency, self-governance,  trust in a system will have changed forever. And you will have been part of it and be able to say "I did something great and it changed the world".

Muy bien expuesto. Además está plenamente respaldado por datos: La UE realizo unos sondeos preliminares para conocer la opinion de los ciudadanos de a pie sobre un posible Euro digital y la mayor preocupación resultó ser... la privacidad. No ya que un estado absolutista o distópico pueda bloquear las cuentas de forma automatizada (creo q en USA las cuentas se bloquean sin mucha dificultad si es tema de drogas), sino q la UE sepa cuando y que compran todos sus ciudadanos en cada momento.

Tal como dices, yo no me fio un pelo de los políticos ... vamos q si les dejas gestionar una lata de sardinas, tienes q estar todo el rato mirando la lata o las sardinas desaparecen.

Being rich comes from many sources, including being born with it, being lucky and being in the right place at the right time. If Bill Gates had been born in Sudan, black and woman he could not have said his famous sentence about being born poor is a a question of luck, dying poor is your fault or something like that. The fact is that there are situations in which there are no opportunities and no matter how many rules you apply, you are doomed to fail.

Anyway, becoming rich, whatever that means to you, is not about following 25 rules or 30 or 10. In fact, some people just do something that works over and over and that works well because they are excellent at executing that plan.

The problem with this declaration is that it encompasses a number of buzz words that also should be interpreted in the right context. Vietnam has gone trough a very expansive stage of their economy in the last years, with massive increases in value to local companies. The government possibly wants to keep up this momentum and use it to attract foreign investment, so all this mentions of bitcoin, crypto mixed with other buzzwords should be an amber flag for people and taken with a pinch of salt.

bitcoin is not really intended to become the "only money" at all. As said by other posters, that it technically nearly impossible, not just for the limitation of the network, but because the mechanism to float the value of goods in different countries is nowadays solved by having all currencies float respective to each other. If that did not exist, you would need to change the price of goods almost every minute in every place.

Bitcoin can however become the dominant way of transferring value for transactions of certain value, across borders, international commerce,... There is no particular need to pay for your coffee with bitcoin as there is no need to pay for it with gold bullion coins.

I have many times talked about how a large part of the population are "unbanked", that is, for reasons of poverty, ability or lack of access to any commercial banking facility, even in terms of distrust they cannot or will not open a bank account, thus not having any access to electronic payments in fiat, credit or payments that most people here would consider as usual business. If you think of it, it seems ironic that this status in society will also assure them that they will not lose anything if a bank collapses. Is not really much of a consolation because the fallout will be strong anyway.

Latest news indicate that there is short of a worldwide consensus on a 15% at minimum tax. Not all countries are joining but it is already surprising that US an EU are finding at least some common ground on these discussions. Many companies, particularly those that are large and can easily relocate are pretty much free to chose where they do business, so it is not a question of them being feed up with taxes, it is more about their perpetual complaint about anything that is going to make their bottom line smaller.

In my view, if you want to do business in a country, you need to support all that is given to you as "free", such as law, security, infrastructure, customers with money to spend, etc... that is not free.

I am asking this because I do have some short of an answer for videogames and for massive multiplayer games and even for social network oriented games. Videogames require a great design, good difficulty grading, an story that engages the user, massive multiplayer and network oriented are a lot about the interactions and how varied and fun these are. However, for casino games, it would seem that these factors are not really the most important ones. You can see games with very basic graphics and design, simple in the options for the player and not that engaging yet they do "hook" people in them.
What do these games have to have for you?

In fact terms and conditions are a must read in anything you do. Perhaps we are becoming too used to large software companies or utility providers supplying us with pages long contracts of absurd legal terms that basically allow them to spy in your life, your house, your family and perhaps your pets. Most times, we are not really free to reject those terms, for example, at work, you have to accept the terms of use of certain software that your company uses even if you are not happy about it taking a look at your work habits and the like.
At least when joining a casino, make sure that you do read those terms because you do have a choice there.

There can be some elements of cryptocurrencies that are linked to sports. As of now, clearly betting with crypto is perfectly feasible and you can potentially use any platform that uses crypto from anywhere in the world without exchanging your fiat nor anything, so that helps with the betting part. However, there are other things that could be better such as paying players with crypto that does not require, again, being exchanged. Also rewards in crypto for gaming are trustless and they can become an worldwide method for salaries. And the last bit I can think of is for on-line gaming sports or eSports that seem only but natural to have crypto as currency.

I would not class myself as a gambler as such, but I do make bets from time to time. I do not know if that makes sense for others, but as far as I know a gambler is someone who is adept at gambling and does it in a regular basis, so I would not say that you are a gambler if you play a little from time to time. Anyway, we are all gamblers in life since we take many decisions even everyday without knowing exactly the result, which you may argue it is making a bet on the future. Perhaps I am a life-gambler.

Osea q tengo q esperar aun otros 3 o 4 años para tener mi vida resuelta para siempre jamás? Nooo, me niego, yo lo quiero para el mes que viene asique me voy a poner a hacer trading ya mismo 

Ya en serio, me gusta el modelo pero hay q entender q un precio se fija por oferta y demanda, no sólo por la oferta. Es parecido a cuando se habla que de, por ejemplo, el Uranio va a subir muchísimo de precio porque hay cada vez más centrales y se va a consumir un 10% más al año. No es que sea falso, es que eso es sólo la demanda. La oferta es flexible y fácil de ampliar, por lo cual la producción sube con la demanda y el precio se mueve poco.

Lo mismo con este modelo, asume muchas cosas para la predicción de precio y asume que lo q pasó en el pasado va a pasar en el futuro. Aun así lo dicho, me gusta porque me vendría muy bien q fuera cierto 

I think the rationale behind his departure is that he no longer feels any sense of achievement by being there and there are some internal pressures that require him to step down for the good of the company. Now he is eager to start a new career as an astronaut and perhaps those executives may also follow him to space.

The funniest thing about Bezos wanting to be out of earth is the community that is forming around the idea of not letting him back in:

Hay que entender la diferencia entre la palabra Socialismo en Venezuela, que quiere decir prácticamente bananerismo y la palabra socialismo en Europa. Los paises que mejor gestión tienen y más calidad de vida dan a sus ciudadanos en Europa se llaman a si mismos socialistas. Noruega, Suecia, ... Pero son socialismos moderados y con un orden democrático y legal a prueba y bien maduro. No como Maduro precisamente.

Las siguientes palabras clave son prácticamente una enorme bandera roja en cualquier web, negocio o propuesta:
- Forex.
- Opciones binarias.
- Trading apalancado.
- Ganar 2000 euros al mes trabajando 2 horas diarías.
- Rendimientos del 30% mensuales o su primo rendimientos de x100 anuales.
- Comisión sobre amigos a los que nos recomiendes del 20% de lo que ingresen.
- Con pruebas de mi método y rendimiento documentados en un video de youtube.

Seguro que lo pillais verdad?

It is an interesting advice mix you are giving, on one side do all those thing that you miss when you think you will be dying soon, and on the other side get vaccinated so can eventually think that it was silly from you to think that way  Anyway, with or without COVID it is always good to be around of the people you love, but I disagree on not spending much: while many have the problem of too much vane spending, I actually have the problem of being to conservative in my spending and that is psychologically bad. Find your balance I advise.

I was about to consider this a serious post, when I realised that you were preparing a scratch script for a movie. I think you are in the right path, most of the things you have said have already happened so it is great for added realism. Now we have to polish a few details such as the type of zombies... the usual un-dead with ragged clothes and walking sideways or are you looking for something like a white walker that can rise dead after battle. My personal favourite is the voodoo version "me wants braaaiiiiinssss".

In any of the cases, I am happy to play a zombie and accept payments in bitcoin.

Perhaps what I did not state clearly is that all companies are really owned by the same corporation that deflates the benefit in countries with high tax and re-inflates in low tax countries by setting the prices at the convenience. Other than that my basic example is very clear IMHO and it is easy to see how taxes are avoided by the corporate structure chosen. I cannot say much more.

Re why taxes on the manufacturing country, these have to be paid because the company that manufactures the product makes a profit, thus should pay tax as opposed to deflating artificially the price and benefit. It should be all about the real value added.

Re there is no pact - 130 countries do have a pact. Ireland will likely have fallout when negotiating other things in Europe due to their decision, as it was Europe not the US the main promoter of this.

RE other people speaking of bitcoin, think of this:

-  You buy bitcoin at 1000
- Bitcoin is now at 30000
- You sell your bitcoin to a company in a tax haven for 1000 a piece. OTC, so you can sell at whatever price you want. You have not made profit, thus no tax is applied to you.
- The company, which you own but you do not declare as yours, sells that bitcoin in a exchange for 30000.
- You don´t pay taxes, as the tax haven does not require you to do so.

Not sure it would work, but this is similar to what the big corps do. Except that it is legal for them but not for you (you have to declare off-shore earnings in most countries).

As said, compared with the average. Furthermore, most expats are from rich countries hence saying cheap is correct in general sense. Anyway, data is there for whoever needs to figure out the cents. Quality of life can be measured in different ways and weighted differently. Bogotá and El Salvador are terrible for violence, but I guess that if you are happy living in a rich bubble community and ignoring the rest you will find one and do fine.
