Let's say that I got 0.01 BTC for $500 in 2021 and I'm sure that I sold it later during the year, but don't know when or for how much. How do I calculate the gain?

Not really the best of course, we have traditional assets, you know mate, if things get out of hand like we are now facing such treats to humanity, we should be considering of how to survive. We won't be able to use bitcoins when there are no electricity and internet. So a traditional asset is better choice, example farm lands. We can't eat Bitcoins can we? But fruits and vegetables is edible, so in times when inflation really hit us hard, it is better to farm.

I'm not one of bullish maximalists,who are expecting 100K,250K or a million dollar Bitcoin price.We should be happy with a 50K price.Greed is always a bad advisor,just like fear.

It's been  established that during a conflict or a huge crisis of any sort, hard cash is nowhere to be found or would be of very little value.
The ongoing energy crisis, being an economic problem trickles down and  affects the life of the ordinary person. Jobs lost, Prices of goods, services rendered would get really pricey or/and they wouldn't be any money in people's hands at all.
With btc, the ordinary person could avoid the backlash of these crisis and come out fine. Hopefully people would realize that hard cash can't be trusted all the time and look elsewhere, perhaps to btc.

What can crypto offer them?

We got paid, it was just delayed for a really long time so it felt to everybody that the participants didn't get paid. I don't know if lightlord really is sick but I am sure that he will have a hard time getting back to the game because a lot has changed and I am pretty sure that he will have to rebuild his reputation because people are asking questions already.

I can't even imagine how come bitvest is doing this shit these days. They were pretty good back in the day but now they have issue one after another. They can easily handle this issue if they are honest enough but I guess they have planned to go out of the market aka exit scam.

Could someone from the casino explain why this happened?  

Because it does not appear that Lightlord now has health problems:

 ...

 The hotwallet problems began in august 2018, for a good, very specific reason, and have never stopped since. And they won't. The reasons are fundamental

 Nothing will ever get "permanently fixed"

 Players will continue waiting and waiting and waiting whenever they happened to haplessly have won & then attempted a withdrawal simultaneously at a time when other users also had won & had already successfully withdrew funds, thus leaving the sparsely filled site wallet empty ; for hours if very lucky, for several days typically, or potentially for weeks on end as happened to me with dogecoin 4 months ago..

 -- because, the owner **does not care anymore**, his deteriorated health + any number of other situations in his personal life now mean he has vastly more important priorities to cater to than the proper, responsible administration & functioning of his site

 Yes, you guessed it Einstein -- this does also mean he couldn't give less of a shit about "market share erosion unto a growing slice of competitors' gambling offer" because the meager revenues from operating BV do not constitute a primary lifeline for LL's subsistence any longer ; and so it is hard for all this to be such a big, pressing deal to him -- not to mention the OBVIOUS fact (if you actually did play on the casino & observe players' trends over time) that it is the same old regular punters that have been using BV for years & years, all the while grunting out some repeated irked grievances at its "rigged" "unfair" systems -- therefore inevitably returning to it, completely lost in disgruntled yet hopeless addiction, regardless of any sig campaign revival, marketing push, or loss of trust via lack of communication + continuous hotwallet problems

 This CAN happen to project managers or business owners, over the course of a long decade, they just can't muster the inspiration to give a fuck anymore about their project. And so I'm pretty sure LL would have CLOSED BV long ago rather than reluctantly keep dealing with all the work & ignorant complaints, if he hadn't closely observed and understood just how cherished it is as a haven by its degenerate rabble of gamblers & junkies glued to it 24/7 - so much so that the site's sudden absence causes a whole upending in their errant lives ; for the unusually different type of gambling it offers them - not to mention its colorfully unhinged & mostly uncensored chatting community

 It's a shame you fools can't have understood this in 245 pages of spam and it took my time & effort to explain it to your obtusely confused, desperate, hungry, anxiously-spammed sig-campaign posts

 I for the record am fine with things as they have been, for I long ago acquired the sensible maturity to cognizantly accept this is how this weird site is gonna be functioning, you might well get to siphon more free coin mileage here via the token conversion system than via periodic bonuses granted in copycat fashion after one another, by the dozens of other sites ; and by the rng here POTENTIALLY (unconfirmed) being more favorable than elsewhere ; BUT, you WILL WAIT whenever you have a support ticket or withdrawal in line

Bitcoin price is now looking very bulish if its stable in this area for few days and next run can break resistance then end of the year it can go 65-69k in my opinion!! Also it can break its ath at the end of this year!!

Just wait and see where the Bitcoin prices would be hitted 67k$ or more?

I expect bitcoin to hit $45k anytime soon.

However, looking at the market conditions, it seems that Bitcoin will soon go into the 50K.

  In order for citizens to have more payment options, the city of Portsmouth, located in New Hampshire, allowed residents to cancel services with Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency; the mayor McEachern of said population, was the one who proposed the idea, and he presented it thinking about the near future, where it would affect them in some way not to get involved with these technologies since, most of the countries will update and use these digital currencies, He said that "there are lots of new things that will affect us in terms of our future that use the type of technology used in cryptocurrencies", which is why the city council took the task of educating itself with the management of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, also implementing a payment method that immediately converts the digital assets entered into dollars so as not to affect the traditional monetary practices of the city

How will this action positively and negatively affect the citizens of Portsmouth?

It's possible, but based on his posts where he talking some adult stuff seems like he's not a kid.

The other thing might be possible is @OP didn't even know anything about gambling, but he force himself to post in gambling section due to his campaign This is nothing new some users blindly participated in campaign only for money and don't know what's the project is. He need to learn first about gambling before he joined a campaign about gambling, or he didn't need to join a campaign so he no need to learn.

So this is probably the explanation. However, I have reservations when you simply say:

Being generous to a certain extent is an investment. The old adage "the more you give, the more you receive" holds some truth. There are ways of explaining it. It could be explained from a spiritual point of view. It could also be explained in terms of character-building and ways to attract people and spread positive vibration. And it could also be explained from a business point of view.

That is why most new comers ends up lossing their money all the way is because most of you only wants investing and get profit.

If you have social medias you'll find this kind of groups where they are shilling some crypto claiming it will "go to the moon", "exceed bitcoin in price" and etc. These called signals, some paid some are not, but mostly they just shills it telling their followers to invest this and that. It's the same here, if you keep following what you just read on social media or any forums, you'll end up broke.

So not one, but two taxes that will be imposed starting next week. This is definitely bad (or shall I say worse) for the Indian crypto community. 1% for every transaction? What is the government thinking about this?

It'll create a heavy burden in the hard earned money of the Indian crypto community. As the title says "This will kill crypto"

What I'm not so sure about the BitcoinGirl.Club initiative is that it will succeed. Some members may publish their achievements in that thread, but I'm sure some others will not.

...and I guess OP's idea in theory would be fine but unlikely to eliminate individual bragging threads I think.

Both people can be right. Using debt the "right" way — to fund a business can be a great move assuming you really know what you're doing; but at the same time it's should be essential to pay your sort of "bad debts" as soon as possible — you know, student loans and stuff because of the interest.

With both systems you can build wealth...

There's nothing particularly wrong with it, but I've always viewed such threads with a jaded eye.  For one thing, it gives me an icky feeling when I see someone tooting their own horn, and for another I think most of these "I ranked up!" threads are a form of merit-phishing (and they usually succeed, too).
