Was having a discussion with someone getting who is getting into BTC the other day about the 'living on crypto' movement.
Mostly about the people who want to get paid in BTC / crypto and only spend BTC / crypto staying away from banks.
We went around and around for a while as to where his line was vs. mine. And it does bring up some interesting points. If you are getting paid in BTC and send it to BitPay / Conbase and convert it to their debit card and spend from there are you 'living on crypto'? How about Bitrefill and other places you can get gift cards from BTC / crypto?
Was an interesting discussion as to where we stood. And was just wondering how everyone else thinks.
Gift cards? Debit cards? Get paid in BTC and convert to USD (or whatever) and put into your bank?
-Dave
I wish a part of my salary is paid in BTC yes so that I keep the BTC on hold as an investment and spend the local currency paid for other expenses. And yes would be good to know where gift cards are printed for BTC. As of now it would be a new move to gift friends who are aware of BTC and its profit on their birthdays or any other occasions. I hope soon in few years down the line, there would be possibility for all these things in line. Since making payments in fiat money is complicated and not transparent, people want to adopt cryptocurrency as the payment method, so that payment can be made easily and everything will be transparent. But if a company pays half the payment in crypto and pays the rest of the half salary in fiat money, the problem will be more complicated.  People do not want to take Bitcoin as salary because the price of Bitcoin is much volatile. And very few people can take advantage of the volatility of Bitcoin. If the knowledge of Bitcoin can be spread among everyone in the right way, then everyone will want to take Bitcoin as full payment. |

It will never happen that the US dollar will disappear because the economy of most of the countries of the world depends on the economy of USA. But if we imagine that this could happen, it is certain that the demand and price of Bitcoin will increase a lot. Because 9 out of 10 people in the USA have an idea about Bitcoin. If the announcement comes, everyone will be desperate to buy Bitcoin. At the same time, other countries of the world will also take initiative to adopt Bitcoin. One day, the value of Bitcoin will surpass the value of Gold, which too was beyond imagination. So there is nothing wrong with imagining that Bitcoin will replace fiat money.

I would say when you are so much dominating in offense, your defense gets a bit leaky at times. That is true for every team and that is why most lower level teams focus on counter attack tactics. Simply because when a team is dominating on offense, their defensive line gets a bit ahead, and when you can stop them, do a great pass forward, then you are suddenly faced with a lot of defenders on their back heel.
This is why it looked like their defense was bad, not because their defense was actually bad but because they were dominating on offense. If this game was a bit more closer together then game would be in the middle and defense would stay in defense while offense would have been a little less.
In general, I agree with you, but I think that this does not apply to this match (when a team is constantly in attack, its defensive lines rise high and when the ball passes to the opponent, quick counterattacks easily pass the defensive lines). City looked bad at times, not because of strategy, but because of individual careless actions. They were just lucky that the opponent was unable to realize these mistakes. Well, it is simply understandable if the defence line just advances a little because the team is on the attack. But any team should be careful while attacking and not push their defensive line further up, especially if the opponent plays counterattack really well. If the opponent does not realize that or cannot play counterattack really well, then there is no problem but if the opponent can identify the mistakes then surely it's a problem and I think that is what happened. |

It is really good luck for New zealand because I don't think they would have survived the bowling of India. But the last pair did their job and survived. My question is to the top order and Middle-order that what were they playing for? Their batting order failed completely today and they are lucky to come out with withdrawal from this match.
The Indians almost getting close pulled off a win today! India fought back in the second session and almost close won the match in the third session. However, New Zealand deserves credit for their performance. The Kiwi batsmen fought valiantly against quality Indian spinners and were rewarded with a draw. When the game is tight and you have tail enders trying to save it under immense pressure, a couple of overs would've been helpful. Overall a good contest. Yes, I think if there were two more overs then things definitely could have been different. But the tailenders really fought to stay in the crease. The Indian bowlers were on fire. Jadeja and Ashwin took apart the New Zealand batting lineup. But I honestly expected more out of the New Zealand batting lineup. They should have known that they will have to face these bowlers. But the draw was a good result I'll say. |

Astralis is doing very well for being so changed and blameF slotting into one of the greats just like that. They are now gone the same way as other unbeatable teams like Fnatic and Nip, they must reform and renew their chemistry to stay at the top. I'm not sure they can go back to what they once were but lots of respect for challenging so well with a new team.
I would like for Vitality to take a map at least, its looking healthy so far on Nuke but we know how that can go still of course :p They lost this map to Astralis as well
Well, I am watching the g2 vs Navi match right now and the score is g2 7-8 Navi. Navi looks really good defending playing on the CT side. Especially as they have the best player with them, s1mple. Navi should be really high on morale as they just won the CSGO major a few days ago. Good to see a major in s1mple's hand. |

Atletico Madrid won yesterday against Cadiz CF. Although, is was a home match for Cadiz CF, but their squad wasn't strong enough to withstand Atletico, and they ended up losing with 3 goals difference.
The first half was goalless. Cadiz should have kept the defense strong in the second half. Cadiz's players may not have expected Atletico to win against Madrid. They could have drawn the match by playing defensively. Although Suarez did not perform well yesterday, the performances of Griezmann and Matheus Cunha were outstanding. However, Cadiz could have reduced the goal difference by playing defensive tactics. |

Can't believe Milan were beaten at home by such a big score and this result mess up my multibet.
A very disappointing result. It was Milan's home match. Moreover Sassuolo is not a strong team. Even if it was an away match, this match should have been won by Milan. Milan lost at home, and conceded 3 goals. If they want to win the title, they have to play carefully in all the matches. Points cannot be lost against a weaker team. |

The match will start on the third day of the first Test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan. Bangladesh made 39 in their second innings till yesterday, losing 4 wickets. In this thread yesterday, someone said that even if Bangladesh loses all the wickets in 100 runs, he will not be surprised. Now it is seen that Bangladesh is likely to lose all the wickets in 100 runs. If Liton and Mushfiqur get out fast today, they will be able to collect more than 50-60 on the scoreboard of all other batsmen.

Its possible to avoid all possible scams but this is actually depending on someones experience.
Less experienced people, as well as experienced people, are also victims of scams. You know, scammers are always finding and targeting the bitcoiners to scam, and most of the bitcoiners are experienced, very few are non-technical. Experienced or inexperienced, scammers always capitalize on human greed and spread their conspiracies. They will offer you to double your investment or make you a millionaire overnight, they will show you bunches of proof. at a point, you will go to test them after greed, and you will get caught. In fact, it is possible to take all precautions, but it is not possible to prevent the scammer. In online life, we should keep a distance from strangers and unknown websites and should not be persuaded by strangers. |

Hardware wallets are definitely the safest option, without costing too much. They are certainly worthy if you're holding large amounts of crypto.
Whether the investment is large or small, if you want to hold for long term, you must use Hardware Wallet to ensure the safety of your investment, needless to say, today's small investment may turn into a giant asset in the future!. If hardware wallet is not available, then at least a good software wallet should be used. Of course, the wallet should be used in the offline environment. However, exchanges can be used for short-term trading, but it is better to use top-rated exchanges. |

I think everyone is interested in buying bitcoin but many people can't afford it because of its high price. But I believe in that. That is to say, it is better to first invest in a potential altcoin and then buy bitcoin from a dip. Just need to wait for some times observing the current market situation before investing.
If any one wait for the dip then definitely they will get the position.
Umm... Do you really need to have a large amount of money in order to buy Bitcoin? Afaik whatever money you have you can own Bitcoin already not in Bitcoin but in satoshi. So, why invest in a crap coin when what basically what you are doing is just the same if it's Bitcoin. Save the trouble of finding a potential altcoins/shitcoins and buy Bitcoin already whatever money you have it can grow if you know how to. Trading or holding or whatever you want with your Bitcoin you could earn a decent profit if you have the right knowledge on when to sell or when to buy. People who are not able to benefit from Bitcoin, how can those investors expect to benefit from altcoin! Altcoins are always double dumped from Bitcoin during the correction moments. But rarely rises at the time of pumping. If your investment is low then maybe investing in Bitcoin will reduce your profit but your investment will be 100% safe. In my opinion, those who buy Altcoin, actually buy tension by spending their own pocket money. |

Bitcoin have got more visibility throughout this year. Now, the dip in the market is trending in twitter on the top. In certain countries like Canada this is trending on the first position. Now the new investors will be on panic and the same will make them go for selling, while the experienced will make use of the opportunity. This dip in the market is being experienced on the share market too. New mutant of covid-19 too is mentioned as a reason for the ongoing dip in the market.
If the dip in the market should continue like this, then a lot of investors are going to keep on selling their assets, which may lead to further dip of the market price. For sure this time is the perfect time for every investor who knows what they’re doing to start investing in the cryptocurrency market or even the stock market, now that the market is very low you should buy as much as possible and keep in your wallet. We are all very aware that even if the market goes down that there will be a time when it will increase again. What it is only going to take from you is to have patience, if you’re ever to have that patience and wait for the right time for the market to increase, then you are going to benefit from it a lot. Although one thing that can help you to have this patience is if you only invest what you can afford to lose, or what you can afford to live in your wallet for a long time. Panic sellers always sell at the time of dumping. Due to these, the market became unstable later. In most cases, newcomers start panic-selling and suffer losses because they do not understand the actual strategy of the market. Intelligent people and pro traders raise funds and buy more bitcoins without panic during the correction, El Salvador is doing just that now. The market is expected to stabilize again at the beginning of the new month and the Bull will take control of the market. |

Liverpool had an easy winning against Southampton. They dominated the game, while Southampton was powerless and conceded 4 goals from a single match. Southampton have a poor defence, which made it easy for Liverpool to score. However, Liverpool now have 28 points and are currently at the 2nd place on the standings. Manchester City will have to win against West Ham in order to redeem their position back. Although, West Ham are in good shape this season, and won't easily be beaten by City. The Match might end draw.
the competition is very tight. 4 - 0 against Southampton makes Liverpool points go up high. Liverpool is very close to Chelsea If lose against MU later, we can make sure that Chelsea's position is very risky. Chelsea must play optimally later, winning against MU is a fixed price I don't think Chelsea will lose against Man utd, but I believe it could be a draw, and even that keep them at risk, a draw for me is the closest that could happen, don't get fooled by that 4-0 win against Juventus in the CL, it's different in the Premier League, so betting double chance for Man utd is for me the best option. We have to be ready to see any drama in this match. I would say we should refrain from betting on this match. Manchester United are not in form, but they have a fantastic squad with a lot of star players. Chelsea, on the other hand, are in their best form. Both teams have a chance to win. However, Manchester's Ogba and Varane are injured. Without these two key players, it would be challenging to perform well against Chelsea. |

To everyone's surprise, Barcelona won 3-1 against Villarreal. We have to admit that Xavi is doing something good with the team. Barcelona's performance in the next 3 matches he took charge was good. Their gameplay was stable. Barcelona made 12 shots in this match, of which 6 were on target shots. During Koeman's time we saw that Barcelona could not make any on-target shots even after 10/12 shots. Xavi's match strategy is good enough. Barcelona are changing their position in the points table.

I prefer to bet only on some games where I know I have more domination of the teams, there are games where to get it right is much harder, and in games like that I prefer not to bet. this weekend there are many games from other leagues and they are very interesting games
I know that it would be sometimes better not to bet on all games on the Weekend and sometimes im not doing it on all. Do we will see today maybe a draw or the first win for Greuther Fürth against Hoffenheim ? All is possible in this League . An interesting game today in Wolfsburg vs Dortmund and dont know there , normaly Dortmund should doing it. Bayern Munich also should be have no problem with Arminia Bielefeld. I think Dortmund is going to win against Wolfsburg because they would have to keep winning if they want to get ahead in the points table and be the winner of this League. And Dortmund has only the league to care about right now so I think they will always try to give their best to win the league matches. On the other hand, Bayern Munich should really do not have any problems beating a fairly low-tier team but I am going to say anything about that as they often disappoint us by getting beaten by really low-tier teams. |

Whaaatt the helllll..........Newzeland lost their first wicket at 151 runs, and lost 2nd wicket at 197runs. After collecting 73 runs, they lost the remaining 6 wickets. New Zealand lost 8 wickets for 280 runs. Apart from the opening two batsmen, no other batsman has been able to play well. New Zealand will lose all their wickets before collecting 345 runs. I would be happy if New Zealand lost this Test. They do not deserve to win or draw a match with such a poor performance.

Arsenal will be locking horns with Newcastle United today,and will be hoping to get a win after they suffered defeat to Liverpool at Armfield.Liverpool.
Arsenal were really inform before that defeat,but hopefully,they can get back to winning ways if they can win against Newcastle.And the Newcastle team have been struggling,and have not really done well this season.
Arsenal are currently sitting six on the table,and would
Like to move up to the top four.
Newcastle are a team that has yet to win a match this season. And everyone is at the bottom of the points table. Arsenal are expected to win the match if no miracle will happen. This is Arsenal's home match. In the home match they can easily win against weak Newcastle. Arsenal will score more than two goals in this match. |

I am saying 500 runs for Bangladesh because this is their only chance. They won't be able to score big in the 2nd innings and if Bangladesh score under 350 runs, then Pakistan can still win it.
Why do they need 500? Underestimating the Bangladesh bowlers? Shakib is not playing, but they do have some very good spinners. And don't forget the fact that Pakistan is batting second, and in all probability they will be batting during the 4th and 5th days of this match. BTW, Liton Das has got out. Hasan Ali got his man, finally. Right now Bangladesh is at 255/5. They may end up somewhere between 300-350. If they could take the total to 350-400, then there is a chance. Else Pakistan will be having the advantage. No batsman has been able to stand firm at the crease since Liton Das was dismissed. Mushfiqur and Yasir Ali were out. At this moment, the last hope of Bangladesh is Mirage. If he can play a big innings then Bangladesh might be able to score 350 or 400 runs. If Miraj is out, Bangladesh will not be able to score even 300 runs. Bangladesh players should be more patient and responsible to playing Test matches. |

As everyone expected, in Test matches like T20 matches, we will see the dominance of Indian players in the matches as well. Although the Indian players played well on the first day, the day was completely occupied by the New Zealand players. India's batting was disrupted in the first session and India lost all their wickets for just 349 runs. New Zealand collected 129 runs without losing any wicket.

The match between Napoli and Lazio will be more competitive. However, Lazio is now 11 points behind Napoli. But Napoli are a bit off form now. They have lost two of the last three matches and drawn one. They will definitely want to get back to form by beating Lazio. I believe it will be a competitive match and both teams will score goals.
I don't know if it's worth talking about Napoli's in bad shape, these are just a few unsuccessful matches, but if the trend continues, then it will be possible to talk about it. I will say that Spaletti has a bad temper, and when something goes wrong as he wants it, then relations with the players and the mood in the team deteriorate. I say this to the fact that the teams coached by Spaletti did not have stability throughout the season and I believe that this is the reason. While a top team and title-seeking team, who have been showing off their outstanding performances since the start of the season, are surprising everyone. If such a team loses 3/4 points in a row, is it not a matter of discussion? They have lost points against teams such as Inter Milan and Spartak Moscow. Lazio is not a weak team. Napoli will not return to form in this match, but it is not surprising. |
