3861  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can everyone in the world have bitcoin. on: August 24, 2023, 05:07:49 PM
21 million bitcoin might not be completely available as there are so many of those that had  been lost in the air but the best thing here is that Bitcoin is divisible buy satoshi and that is the best part.

there are even saying that 1 satoshi will be 1 dollar in the future, imagine how much you can hold and gain having 0.001 bitcoin?
this must be the best investing tools people might have in their entire life.
With high demand, there will be always Bitcoin adopters willing to sell their holdings for profit. So it's the opportunity for those who don't have any coins to start accumulating their satoshis. They just have to be skilled at electronic devices and internet to set up wallets, create accounts at exchanges and to buy and sell Bitcoin.

For that reason, I don't think everyone can have Bitcoin, as there is still a high number of illiterate people in the world, especially regards the virtual world and the foreigner universal language, which is English.

Maybe in some decades this scenario will change, but by there that is what we know so far, consequently making it harder for BTC adoption to grow considerably among the masses.
Im not surprised by this blinkered perspective. You're right: BTC adoption relies on literacy and knowledge. But guess what? Just as humanity evolved from nomads to agriculturalists, from kingdoms to nations, it will also evolve in terms of digital literacy. Its an inexorable march of progress!

The elderly? Yes, they might not get the nuance of blockchain now, but with platforms like the internet bridging knowledge gaps, it won't be long before even your 80-year-old grandma knows how to move sats around.

The constraints of language and literacy? Temporary blips on the grand timeline of humanity. English, the so-called "universal" language, is just a present-day tool. Platforms are already emerging to break these barriers.

Dont undermine humanity's adaptability. Bitcoin's adoption may seem constrained now, but to suggest its limited by today's literacy issues is a narrow view. History has shown us time and again: humanity adapts and evolves. So will its relationship with Bitcoin.
3862  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth it to teach older people about bitcoin technology? on: August 24, 2023, 04:46:02 PM
Well everyone deserves to learn about bitcoin regardless of its age and condition. It does not matter whether you’re inclined or not in technology, but as long as you’ll gain basic ideas from bitcoin, I think that will still be useful in the future. Remember that bitcoin could be our future so it’s an advantage if we learn bitcoin today so we can make use of it as early as now. And older people are not an exception. They can be late in their age, but with bitcoin there’s no early or late, you’re just in time to learn about bitcoin.
True,how the hell someone would really be having that kind of restriction about a certain age for someone to be able to know about Bitcoin or in overall crypto space? There's no such thing about age restriction or requirement and just like you do say that everyone deserves to learn but it would be eventually be depending on some factors because these aged people wont really be that mindful about on things that happening recently but rather they would be mindful on things which are supposed to be that in their standard way of living or things that they do know. Opening up some new opportunities or changes wont really be a bad thing but of course not all would really be that accepting this new type of idea or whatsoever we do call about Bitcoin.

Also, i do understand on why some people would really be that skeptical on making out explanations on elderly because of having that slow process or understanding on how this new tech works
but simply speaking about the basic principles and ideas then it wont really be that something that too technical to understand which i do believe that they could easily be able to adopt.
Age is not, and should never be, a deterrent for understanding concepts as groundbreaking as Bitcoin.

Yes, the elderly might have a different perspective on life due to their vast experience. Still, to outright dismiss their ability to grasp technological advances is not just shortsighted but an affront to the human intellect. These are the same individuals who've witnessed transformations from telegrams to instant messaging, from analog televisions to smart ones. And you think Bitcoin is too much for them?

Furthermore, the onus falls on us, the crypto enthusiasts, to elucidate this brave new world in a language that resonates with them. If they're skeptical, it's merely because they've not been introduced to it in a manner they can relate to. We talk about the future of money here. If Bitcoin is indeed the revolution we claim it to be, shouldn't it be accessible to all?
3863  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is regulations among the key factors that affect the price of Bitcoin on: August 24, 2023, 04:31:30 PM
Is regulations among the key factors that affects the price of Bitcoin

Well it has many case scenarios but one that we should understand is how everything works in this world. First regulations can not be implemented just right away all over the world. There hundreds of countries using Bitcoin and every country has their own set of rules and also they have their own decision making power. For example it may happen that what Germany think might not be right in the perspective of England or US. In similar ways it is highly impossible that every country will apply the same rules. Even with the experience of G20 meeting where India did brought the Bitcoin regulations, it doesn't mean it has been overruled everywhere. In fact there are countries on the other hand like Arab's who are adopting the Bitcoin in whole new perspective, similar goes to the Japan also.

So is it possible bitcoin will get affected? Yes, definitely it will get affected but there will always be one part of the world that will be taking it in positive way so Bitcoin will continue to thrive. It's all about the balancing and due to decentralization it has slippery roads.
There has never been, and never will be, national uniformity in regulations. The various geopolitical entities that make up our world, each with their own egos and self-serving goals, define it.

Every country, including the US, UK, and Germany, sees Bitcoin through a different set of concerns and interests. The G20 summit? Haha! merely an exhibit. What India is doing is a drop in the ocean. While they argue, governments like Saudi Arabia and Japan are ahead of the curve and have recognized the potential of Bitcoin. They have a broader perspective.

It is quite naïve of you to try and talk about the "balancing" of Bitcoin's influence. Both Bitcoin's greatest asset and its worst weakness is its decentralization. But what's the deal? Bitcoin may rise and fall, but it is here to stay, much like the unstoppable tide of history. And to any nation defying? They'll be buried by the advancement's dust.
3864  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible to invest in bitcoin to build a country whose economy is down? on: August 24, 2023, 04:11:50 PM
I want to ask everyone, can adopting bitcoin help a country's economy? especially countries that are experiencing bankruptcy, for example, as experienced by our brothers in the country of Sri Lanka.

but if my think can! a country by adopting bitcoin will help its economy, as long as it is adopted on a large scale.
for
Bitcoin was never invented as a builder of any country's bad economy from going into inflationo/recession, so don't expect that, but rather Bitcoin can save your funds from losing value, since its a currency whose value  likely to increase over long period of time, and as such, whoever invest in Bitcoin today is likely to reap a good sum as time goes on.

Bitcoin was born in 2009 towards the end of the great recession that started In 2007 and ended in 2009 to help solve the economic crisis experienced then due to money printing that resulted in a high inflation rate that destroyed various country's economy as at that time. Bitcoin from that time has become a hedge against inflation because you can't print as much as you way want.

You both all have to come un concession on the major reason why bitcoin was created first, after knowing this, then you will realize about some other opportunities that may comes in through this bitcoin adoption for the people and government to have, bitcoin is a currency, but yet can be use as an asset, investment and exchange means, if through all these mentioned we have more attention on bitcoin for adoption, opportunities like developing a delapidated economy could set in, employment opportunities, financial independency, privacy, trust security and lots more that could ease the development of any country if bitcoin is adopted and permitted for use, these are different channels and dimensions through which we can have the importance of bitcoin being applicable for man use.

yes, bitcoin has many benefits, especially for people who understand bitcoin and also know the risks of investing in btc, and I think if
people already know the knowledge about investing in bitcoin, it has great potential for profit and to be honest, I personally have felt the benefits of investing in btc, and my economy and my family are now getting better because my income has increased because of investing in btc and my family are all investing in btc , and I am lucky to live in my country where the government allows people to invest in btc, but the government of my country prohibits btc from being used as a means of payment.

For those with the intelligence to understand Bitcoin, like you and I, it's a goldmine. The benefits are not just individual but ripple through society. Just look at your family, for example. Progressing economically due to the sheer might of BTC, while the naysayers just stand by, drowning in their ignorance. The fact that your government has the sense to allow Bitcoin investment is commendable. And as for them not allowing it as a payment method? A short-sighted move. They might as well try to stop the tide with a broomstick! The future of finance is crypto, and it's time the world woke up to that fact
3865  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODLing Bitcoin isn't merely an "investment" on: August 24, 2023, 03:55:13 PM
We know that Bitcoin is not only used for investment but also for the convenience of users. Economically many people trade in Bitcoin so that its transactions are completed very easily and quickly. Various companies accept payments in Bitcoin and banks make their loans and transactions in Bitcoin so that they operate easily and at low cost. We see when the covid 19 pandemic was all over the world when the whole world collapsed economically they were able to replenish their reserves with this bitcoin. And then the entire transaction through online took over with this virtual currency Bitcoin using which people enjoyed their maximum benefits. If we see at present then it is possible to do almost everything in real life with this Bitcoin. Nowadays everything has become easy to do with Bitcoin including purchasing various products. If we look at the country of El Salvador we can see how much they have accepted Bitcoin and how they are using Bitcoin. They have given bitcoin so much priority that they have accepted payment in bitcoin for all goods and purchases, including all factory bills, which is truly amazing. So we are not only benefiting from investing in bitcoin now but it is possible to do many other things very easily.
Some people employ conventional banking ways, but others embrace Bitcoin, the future. Yes, Bitcoin is a change, not simply an investment! Imagine a world without boundaries, where trades are fast and cheap. Bitcoin survived Covid-19, when traditional banking institutions failed. More than a tool, it shows how power can be distributed.

You mentioned El Salvador, which indicates Bitcoin's potency. A coin is helpful when a country relies on it for business. Bitcoin is used to buy bread and pay bills as well as trade. Those who doubt its value are delusional. Wake up, world! Bitcoin is present, not future.
3866  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long can Bitcoin out perform inflation in the long run? on: August 24, 2023, 03:08:23 PM
I can hardly grasp your point, but I think this is where the argument that "since inflation is never-ending, the increase of Bitcoin's price is also never-ending" comes in.

Bitcoin will always beat inflation. It might not strictly be year after year, but in the long run Bitcoin will always be the victor. You will only be defeated if you sell your Bitcoin for fiat.

Perhaps one way of making sure your value overcomes the continuous inflation is to store your wealth in assets or properties that grow in value over time. A piece of land, for example, especially in a strategic location, is one thing of this kind. Investing your money in a business is another.

But, for me, Bitcoin is more or less sufficient as far as the overall numbers are concerned.
Inflation and Bitcoin aren't just two actors on a simplistic stage of economics. No! Inflation is a wicked beast, birthed by systems that love control. Now Bitcoin, my friend, is the hammer to the chains. You suggest that its price rise is just a mere consequence of inflation? A grievous underestimation! It's a revolt, a revolution against the corrupted systems.

Assets like land? Temporary safeguards, pawns in a bigger game. Bitcoin isn't just an alternative; it's THE solution. And let's not even talk about businesses - most are slaves to the same depreciating fiat.

You claim to comprehend the magnanimity of Bitcoin while simultaneously underplaying it? Tread carefully, for history has little mercy on those who fail to see revolutions unfolding before their eyes!
3867  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HOW DO WE TRANSFER BITCOIN WEALTH TO HEIRS AND THE NEXT GENERATION on: August 24, 2023, 02:51:51 PM
To transfer Bitcoin wealth to heirs and next-generation is very easy by involving  and teaching, also making them to understand it.involving your spouse and children most especially will free you from financial stress even in death you will be happy with yourself because you have taught them how to make wealth. In the aspect of entrusting  your Bitcoin wealth Will to a lawyer not your spouse or children, I don't think is right  because lawyers cannot be trusted when you are gone,make your  families trust you and you too trust them. An adage says "The enemy you know is better than the angel you don't  know", blood they say is thicker than water . Be wise

The title of this topic motivated me to teach my family about Bitcoin and I really feel like telling the kids in my house about Bitcoin. So that they can become more independent in the future when they start working and managing a business apart from receiving an inheritance from their parents, because what you say is in my opinion wise enough to do for a very harmonious family life. Bitcoin is an asset that can be exchanged for any currency and it can also be easier to transfer to other exchanges and wallets because the owner of course already knows how to move all of that to another place.

Well, if it has to be related to our respective families. So what must be done now is to tell and teach those in our own family about Bitcoin so that they can more easily receive inheritance when we are no longer able to work and manage the assets we already have in life. And it's true as you said that involving other people in terms of any cryptocurrency assets or assets is very unwise and we cannot fully trust because parties who are not from our own family can deviate from the plans we have laid out. So it's better not to involve other people in something as simple as this. And by the way, welcome to this forum for you, I hope you can get better here because from the thoughts that you have poured out here, I think you are a pretty smart person.
banking on Bitcoin for familial harmony and inheritance? Really? Bitcoin is but a drop in the vast ocean of financial instruments available today.

Your faith in Bitcoin and disinterest in third-party involvement is both impressive and concerning. I's critical to remind ourselves that while Bitcoin offers decentralized asset management, its far from infallible. Dismissing third-party involvement is, frankly, reckless. In this ever-evolving digital ecosystem, third parties can offer invaluable insights, security protocols, and recovery mechanisms.

Take a step back and assess your approach. While Bitcoin is promising, it should be just one piece of a diversified financial strategy. Broaden your horizons, and don’t just blindly latch onto the latest fad. Welcome to the forum, by the way. But be ready; the real world isnt as rosy as your optimistic musings suggest.
3868  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would Bitcoin at this Price limit its Global Adoption? on: August 24, 2023, 02:26:12 PM
Please, lets not get caught up in the boring details of Bitcoin's price tag. Look, Michael Saylor and Adam Back both have their own points of view, but we're stuck on a train of thought that keeps going around the price stop. Get up! Bitcoin can be broken down to eight decimal places. Even if one Bitcoin reaches $500,000, someone can still own 0.00001 of it.

And you're worried that people will turn to other things? Do it! History shows that competition drives development. If the price of Bitcoin turns some people off, they can look for other options. Bitcoin doesn' need everyone to use it to prove that it has value. And, oh, clinging to fiat? How come? You'd rather drown in paper money thats sinking than change? No one can stop history. Dont fall behind by holding on to old fears. Change, my friend. It never stops.
3869  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My dream is coming close. on: August 24, 2023, 02:08:28 PM
I hope you can quickly achieve your dream. some things so that we can properly achieve our dreams is by being focused and consistent. Many people out there want to get rich with bitcoin or altcoins, but they can't stand the existing FUD so they decide to sell the assets they own before their dream is achieved.
If you are really consistent with this, and continue to collect bitcoin little by little, then sooner or later, 1 bitcoin will be in the wallet that you have.
To achieve this dream is to have a major source of income where one can depend on all the time.  Some people don't even have source of income where they  get money from yet they still say they have a big dream in bitcoin,  I think this dream is just to become rich in bitcoin.  Bitcoin doesnt work just to make people rich when people have no plan on how to generate income for themselves first.

Investing in Bitcoin without depending on it so much is always profitable and can always ended up to be a good dream that can come through.
Having a primary source of income isnt just essential for basic sustenance; its the pillar on which dreams and aspirations are built. Merely dreaming of wealth through Bitcoin, without any primary income, is not just naive but borderline delusional.

To expect Bitcoin, or any other asset, to magically elevate one's financial status without a clear strategy is to misread the very essence of money and the purpose it serves in society. People like this are merely pawns, aimlessly wandering in the vast chessboard of life. One must first establish stability, then risk, then wealth. This is not just economics; it's the Darwinian principle applied to finance!

Now, for those who invest in Bitcoin without entirely depending on it, they understand the game. They respect the unpredictability of the market, and they harness it. They don’t dream. They strategize.
3870  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin Helped Create Big Changes In Your Life? on: August 24, 2023, 12:50:55 PM
I think Bitcoin had an impact for lots of people irrespective of possible life-changing gains. Many people that I know are also pursuing their career in an area that either is related to Bitcoin and decentralized technologies or is about Bitcoin itself. It is one of those topics that dominates my everyday life, so yes I would say it did and does have a significant impact on what I am doing day in and day out.

Also from an investment perspective, I guess it is common to include cryptocurrencies as a standard asset class of a diversified portfolio, which obviously wasn't the case when hardly anyone knew about it and gold or precious metals in general were a thing besides shares and other forms of investment. That focus has shifted a lot to innovative technologies in the finance/money sector.

Cryptocurrencies are a compelling topic that is so multi-disciplinary that I still find myself reading countless of papers, trying to keep up with research and development. It is positively time-consuming and I would say it takes a major share of my spare time when I would take a book and do some reading, it is now usually about Bitcoin and any areas is touches upon.
If you find it positively time-consuming, imagine the cataclysmic shifts Bitcoin is inducing in legacy systems. Those countless papers are not just academic exercises; they're the scripts to the dismantling of the central banking system and the corrupt financial world order. The focus hasnt merely shifted; it has been jolted awake.

Reading a book in your spare time? I'd hope you're involving yourself in the ecosystem, challenging outdated systems and asserting the financial freedom that Bitcoin and other decentralized technologies offer. Time to go from an observer to an actor on this grand stage, wouldnt you agree?

While I believe Pep is a coaching genius, honestly, I have my reservations about City's performance this season. I mean, the big teams don't have a clear advantage, and it feels like City is currently in murky waters! And if I'm being honest, with the current wave of player injuries, it looks like Pep's in a bit of a pickle. At the start of the season? Really? They're already facing hurdles! Although, I did catch wind that Guardiola went under the knife for some minor issue and will be back post-international break. Perhaps he’s trying to match the physical fitness of his players? Now that's commitment! But seriously, will the second-tier players step up? Hmm, it's anyone's guess
3872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: August 23, 2023, 04:50:14 PM
Yes, but all the same, there will always be such people who believe in various external forces, talismans and other nonsense. And no one can convince them of this. Superstitions in medicine can do more harm to human health than in gambling. Although in some small cases in medicine it is possible to cure some psychological diseases through self-hypnosis. Including gambling addiction.
Superstition isn't always related with psychological disease, I think almost everyone have such believe because it's related to experience, people always remember something based on their experience. That's why when someone carry a weird stuff, I'm not really surprised because when you ask them about that weird stuff, they can explain how the stuff can give a luck to them in the past.
Yes, superstitions are not always related to mental illness because beliefs, suggestions and also one's experience can make superstitions more real and are believed by most people to be able to have luck or victory.
Many things like that happen anywhere and in several countries, even the majority of gamblers still really believe in help from superstitious or mystical things, although some also don't care or don't believe in it.
For example, when someone has a dream or sees a strange discrepancy, they immediately link it to get a lottery number, which ensures that this is a form of symbol or a natural code to be able to get luck or win.
It's no wonder that we find some gamblers doing crazy actions to be able to get help with their belief in superstitious or mystical things.
Superstitions are but a scaffolding for the frail human psyche! Are they necessarily a sign of mental illness? No. They’re a coping mechanism, an attempt to explain the unexplainable, just like our ancient ancestors did with thunder gods and sea monsters. You bring up gamblers; they cling to superstitions as if these beliefs are their last life vest in a sea of uncertainty. This isnt some romantic notion; its desperation masked as belief. Humans try to create patterns out of chaos because facing the idea that their success relies on mere chance is too crippling for them. Superstitions are for those who cant face the raw brutality of reality
3873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do star players affect the odds of a match bet? on: August 23, 2023, 04:26:54 PM
Isnt this a cute way to oversimplify how important star players are? You suppose "playing part of a game" or "being replaced"? Sports are not all or nothing. Its not checkers. Seeing a star player alone impacts the game mentally and strategically.

Stories, narratives, and powerful people move us. Sports and people are drawn to these folks. Messi and Ronaldo arent just big names or flashy brands; they're the best examples of how humans have changed over time. They strain their physical and mental limitations on the pitch.

Now, about the chance of winning a bet: of course they do! Bookies are smart. The odds consider a player's name, recent performance, and strategy impact. Its stupid to disagree. In order to calculate the probabilities of these "four levels of contribution," you should first understand how they are linked rather than arranging them in boxes like a child's puzzle.

3874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 23, 2023, 04:04:02 PM
Pavard is a player who is quite old and only plays defense. If Bayern Munich has given a price of 30 million euros, then that price should be quite appropriate because it meets some of the needs of Inter as well. As long as it's not too expensive, Inter should buy it. So far, Bayern Munich's defense has been pretty good, so it's possible that losing one defender won't be a problem for Bayern Munich.
The main problem is that Inter offers 27+3 million euros, and Bayern would like to get 45-50 million euros for a football player. At least, when Manchester United offered 29 million for the player, Bayern refused, and now, after the failed sale of Maguire to West Ham, Manchester United has stopped negotiations to buy the player. Therefore, Inter is now the main contender for the player and Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta openly says that Pavard wants to join Inter. The whole question is about the price per player, because I'm not sure that the current Inter is able to pay 45-50 million per player.
27+3 million euros from Inter? If you ask me, a little low. Even more so since Bayern wants between 45 and 50 million euros for the kid. I mean, do you remember when Manchester United offered $29 million and was politely told "no, thank you"? Now, Marotta is saying everywhere that Pavard wants to play for Inter. But really, who wouldn't be? The thing is, Pavard has been very disciplined at Bayern, but will Inter really pay 50 million for him? I don't think so! It's like getting a Ferrari and haggling over the price as if it were a used sedan.
3875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 23, 2023, 03:42:34 PM
I think Tottenham have made a good start to the season. Despite losing Kane they are still able to stay quite productive. Collecting 4 points in 2 games is a good work in my opinion. Especially their winning against Manchester United was really unexpected for me honestly. Because I thought Manchester United wouldn't lose.

But Manchester United had serious problems on scoring goals despite having so many goal attempts. Next time Tottenham are playing against Bournemouth away. I think this is a comfortable game for them. I know they drew with Brentford but Bournemouth are a much weaker opponent.
Oh, you know, when I first heard Kane was leaving Tottenham, I thought their attack line would be like a ship without a captain. I was wrong, though. With Son and Richarlison, they've kept their attack pretty clean. I guess Manchester United could learn something from them. It's clear that Manchester United has trouble up front. Rashford and Anthony? They're good, but it feels like putting square pegs into round holes. Even Mount hasn't found his groove under Erik Ten Hag, even though he's trying. Maybe they need someone to take the lead right away. No matter what is going on, Spurs are having a good time right now. I hope they can keep this up against Bournemouth.

Xavi Hernandez working on his squad inother to strengthen them to start scoring goals and earning crucial points in league games. The bluagrana possessed good set of players who are ready to take the team performance to next level, confidently they're contenders for the La Liga title, it would define be a long run between Los Blancos and the blaugrana. Barcelona failed to grab the winning points in the first La Liga game this season, recording a draw, perhaps they're back this season after thrashing Cadiz 2 nil. That's basically a good way to start a winning.
In the next match, Barcelona must also be able to win at home to Villarreal, even though they have to fight hard because Villarreal is also not a weak team, even though Barcelona often wins against Villarreal. So Xavi Hernandez's task is still quite a lot and difficult because he must be able to maintain the appearance of his team in order to be able to continue to get points at the start of this season so that he can become a champion candidate in La Liga again. Because Real Madrid has also started to perform well again now.
Barcelona is like that friend who always promises to be on time but ends up late. Villareal isnt a walkover team, and while Barcelona often manages to secure a win against them, I wouldnt be too surprised if there's a draw. You see, Villareal is a mystery wrapped inside an enigma right now. I get that Xavi has the monumental task of chasing not just Real Madrid but also Atletico! That said, young players might just be on the bench because, lets be real, every point counts for Barça now. Missing three points? Ah, that would be quite a dramatic episode in the soap opera of La Liga! And while Dembele has been the key in the past, the dynamics change every season.

Casinos are, at their core, businesses that profit from people's urge to bet. They are neither charitable organizations nor medical facilities. They are money-making machines. But it's frankly appalling that a man in need of medical attention was neglected. You'd think that a business meant to empty your wallets would at least be concerned with keeping you alive so you could spend more.

What is your opinion of the paramedical staff and first aid? Perfectly spoken. If not out of empathy, then at the very least for aesthetic sake, any building intended to house big crowds ought to have that. Nevertheless, accusing the family of wanting to capitalize on the tragedy? That strikes me as a cheap shot. Imagine yourself in their position. Perhaps they're merely attempting to draw attention to a structural problem with these gambling dens. Does the casino deserve any blame? Absolutely! It`s a matter of fundamental human decency.
3878  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins profits or bank profits, which best? on: August 23, 2023, 01:52:22 PM
This is a point that is often ignored, have people ever wondered why it is so easy to deposit your money in a bank and so difficult to get it out? This is because the moment the bank has custody of your money it is not really your money anymore, banks will use the money that is morally yours to do whatever they want and if at some point you make an effort to try to recover it they can use all kind of legal actions to not give it back, just for this alone people should drop banks and use bitcoin, but people are slow to learn and will only change their stance once they lose their money to the banks and it becomes impossible to recover it.

I like that point as it's reality, when there's an opportunity for the bank to take a legal action not to let you withdraw you money they will surely push for it and will try everything to own your money, that's the risk and it can happen to anyone, banks knows how to play with the rules and with just a small idea that they will see or you gave them surely they will grab that and do everything in their power to avoid any possibilities for you to transfer your remaining balance.
It is even worse than that, banks do not play by the rules, they make the rules, as the proverb says ‘Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws’ this is why when the economy of a country does badly the first thing banks do is to limit the amount of money you can withdraw from them in order to avoid a bank run, and they do this because they do not have the money that you deposited with them due to their use of fractional reserve banking, yet another instance in which they treat your money as if it was theirs.
Thats what sucks about banks but still people do stick out into these institutions on saving up their money and storing it out which its definitely true on what would be the potential things that you might be able to

encounter knowing that they do really have that full control of your funds + you are really that been traced if ever there would be some huge deposits or even withdrawals which it could ring out some bells and ask
for some verification on where these funds came from or whats the reason of such withdrawal. This is why it do really sucks when you are really that heavily been relying with these institutions but surprisingly
to those people who are aware about these shitty stuffs of banks but still do heavily trust them up. Cant really be able to blame though knowing that sticking with something been that regulated and been relied
through ages then its not a surprise that they would really be sticking to that.

To those people who are fully aware about Bitcoins or cryptos existence then they are the ones who would really be that taking out advantage with those benefits not only on money making or income
opportunity but totally into its utility.
For years, the all-powerful monstrosities we call banks have benefited from our trust. People have been trained by these organizations to think of themselves as the safest option, and most people never question this conditioning. pathetic, yes?

They closely monitor each transaction, whether it is a deposit or a withdrawal, looking for anything out of the ordinary. Then why? due to their ability. It is the cost of being under their "secure" control.

For those with the insight to see it, Bitcoin offers an oasis. The insolence of banks to believe they can maintain their hegemony when the freedom of cryptocurrency is right in front of them! If only more people would emerge from their shells and grasp the enormous potential of Bitcoin and its siblings. Those in the know not only benefit financially but also have freedom that banks will never provide.

Two question! First one is Simple. To understand how a coin works, you need to Google search and know youself from article related to that coin or go to that coin's telegram account and ask there what you want to know. Admin and others member will guide you and give you info. Coin price is low during token sale. If they late, fail to give you satisfactory answer or you find something phishy then avoid the project. But it hard to know which project will success.
It's not really that hard to know if a project has got potential or is worthy for an investment. However, going into their official channels and asking their team regarding the project wouldn't give you a clear idea, nor you should trust any article published regarding a project because this is usually a part of their marketing where they ask some writer to write and publish articles regarding their project so that people read that and think that the project is good.

What you need to do is follow the project through all their channels, follow their progress to see what they are doing and whether they are following their roadmap and stuff, you need to check if they have a good team, you need to read their whitepaper and then see if they are doing what they've described there, you should also check their activity and user engagements on their social channels. There are lot of other things but these should be enough to give you a general idea about a project.
A little late to the party, but congratulations nonetheless! Diving into a project's channels or gobbling up marketing-driven articles is like drinking the Kool-Aid without questioning whats in it. Foolish, to say the least.

Sure, you're right in saying one needs to stalk a project on all channels to get a gist. But lets be honest; half the people out there dont even have the patience to scroll past a project's Twitter bio, let alone dive deep into its whitepaper. I mean, following a roadmap? Thats child's play. Real assessment? Its about intuiting the human patterns and behaviors behind those polished whitepapers and flashy roadmaps.

In the crypto world, you're either prey or predator. You better equip yourself to be the latter or get ready to be devoured by the smarter ones in this ruthless space.

young people should take more advantage of the crypto space depends on their individual circumstances, risk tolerance, understanding of the technology, and their ability to make informed decisions. Like any financial endeavor, it's important to approach the crypto space with a combination of enthusiasm, education, caution, and a long-term perspective.

True that. It depends on a number of factors but I will say that it should be recommended for all young people considering the fact that most of the traditional financial service providers always end up f**king up their users. I have seen these time and time again. And also the fact that traditional finance is too restrictive. I mean, for someone planning to do a business, they'd have to tick a lot of boxes all in the name of compliance. Finally, getting crypto early will ensure young people are aware of the trends. Most of the aged people we seen today didn't take action on trends that were active in their time.

Crypto is here to stay. Better to get on the bandwagon even if its only on a "want to know" basis or as a hobby.
Traditions of money management? These old things cant keep up with the modern. These organizations have ruled for centuries, yet they've only created systems that benefit them. Businesses must go through safety hurdles. They stifle creativity, ambition, and innovation.

Young people now must break these old shackles. Check it out! All elderly folks missed at least one important trend. Continue repeating the same mistakes? No. Cryptocurrencies are a shift, not a trend. A wave that will transform our economy. I say steer the train, not just jump on it!
