It is not the fault of the people who say trading is easy, it is up to the person whether they should believe or not, in the end the decision to do crypto trading falls in your hands as you are the one who will benefit or not from it. Regarding OP saying that having experience in other trading will not help you when you trade in crypto, I think so otherwise, when you get experience, you can use it to provide a foundation for new endeavors, the problem was he got cocky and have others manipulate the pump.

Not necessarily a strategy in my opinion, for me buying and holding is just a way of safekeeping your money to combat inflation of the fiat that you want to convert. Strategy for me yields you profits that can help you along the way and not help you when the time comes.

If you want to trade then go trade on the trusted sites, the problem is people wants to find a site that does not take a cut, give the site some slack, besides traffic that is their only way of earning. I do not know much but I hope that is the gist of it. The real safety should be having an emergency fund in the case where you are having a downtime when trading. Regarding scams, most of them could be prevented if you have a common sense but there are elaborate ones out there so doing your research is strongly adviced.

Experience will give you an edge and in the long run as you gain experience you will eventually manage to use all the available resources. In the meantime, try to read and learn as much as you can about trading so you can sped your way to become knowledgable, it is okay to make mistakes and start over.

It is prettysad that as the economy suffers then the people suffer too but with these election going on, they are using it as a political agenda, they could have created a better response through relief but no, they instead bide their time to formulate how to stay in power and people are suffering because of this, I hope that the election will bear a fruit to help the people and the economy stand on its feet again.

Most of the people lived in the time of peace, we can't judge them for having a weak mindset, have you expected that this would happen OP? I think no. Oppotunity does not knock on everybody, most people live by paycheck to paycheck, would the pandemic be considered opportunity for them if the only only source of cash they have has been cut off because of widespread lay-offs. Saying that people have a weak mindset in regards to pandemic is utter bullshit.

Dude this is not Call of Duty where the narrative goes right. Did you know that submarines are the pioneers of stealth combat? Which means they can sneak past the vast ocean and launch the ICBMs anywhere.

Have you heard of submarines? They are the insurance that there will be a mutually assured destruction. How much time you think it takes to know that an attack has happen? You do not know a nuclear nations capability to know who attacked, it is a complete BS about the thing where you attack first then the enemy will not attack, what are a samurai?

What the hell? You think launching all of the nukes launches instantly? Unless they prepared an complete assault then they can do it. Another BS, if you exhaust your resource in one attack then you will be vulnerable to other countries attack.

ICBM is the most effective because if you are planning a nuclear holocaust then you might as well spend the least resource as much as possible. Why the fuck would you risk a nuke train when you are country? What are you a Bond villain? You can't easily smuggle shit that has a nuclear on its tag which means you can't put it in a public transport. Why would a border guard accept a bribe when he knows it will cost a destruction.

Also did you know that when thousands of nukes are detonated even in just one country, the effect will be felt around the world? Did you know that it will cause nuclear winter that will affect the surrounding places of the fall out? There is a reason why they are not launching these bombs, the nuclear researchers have proven the effects in the long term after a nuclear fall out. Read about the Chernobyl so you can understand my point. The point of going to war is to claim the resources of the target country, now if you nuke that or sneak a nuke train like in Hollywood then you essentially destroyed the objective which is the resources.

I had stroke reading OP's post but from what I can understand, he wants to compare the timeline where bitcoin is so relevant as gold. My answer for that is as long as there are humans, both will be relevant. Yes they are different but they both will define a new financial age, gold has done it with the Gold Standard while we are still waiting for Bitcoin and I am sure that the time will come that it will open a new path for a new financial era, where we are free of bureaucracy.

A war will not be coming OP, there will be talks before anything else. Why would these egotistic leaders declare war and ravage the natural resource as a result. We are at the age of neo-conquest where traditional warfare is not the first option. Plus ICBM would result in mutual destruction which means that no country will benefit from the result of the war. Maybe anarchy will happen but war is a very unlikely thing. At this day and age the one who is the greatest is the one who wins without waging a war. So much conspiracy videos for a day.

Yeah dude, I know Cold War, I am a history nut.

You also think that the money trap is reasonable? You are blind dude. You want your land seized by the CCP because that is what happened in Sri Lanka. They can't pay the debt and now they do not own the infrastructure that they built in their land. Have your read the article link I provided? Also did you know that the money they loan to this poor country is totaly rigged? They have a very high interest just so you know and that is the reason that most countries can't pay the debt.

By the way Cold War is just a fancy way of invading countries without launching bombs and nukes.

OP might be professing a conspiracy theory, while reading OP's post I got a stroke. In the first place, why hide your problems when your citizens can see the cracks slowly showing. The reason that we have this economic problem is that most of the countries do not have a very good emergency measure, my country for example is too incompetent to make an efficient measure regarding the current state of the country, they instead kill their critics and tolerate their corrupt personnel.

The reason that inequality still exist is because some people are too whiny and bitches in almost anything, ignorance and greed come side by side, if only people are understanding and reasonable then inequality will slowly fade out.

Education should be the first priority, then nutrition. The problem with Africa is they have a corrupt and incompetent leader, the only example that I could think of is Rwanda's Paul Kagame, yes it is a dictatorship but he has an efficient way of managing the country. Another overlooked problem is the tribe's rivalry like what happened in Sudan and other countries in Africa, if these problem could be resolved then much of the violence will be quashed on the spot. Another problem is terrorism in Africa, good thing about that is many countries are helping in destroying these to help Africa.

Africa is a gold mine, that is constantly pillaged by greedy foreigners and I hope that one day they will flourish.

If the all the cons could be resolved then the chances that a cashless will become a thing earlier than we could expect. The problem with going cashless though is the possibility of total collapse, now what I mean by the total collapse is when all of us are doing cashless transactions, what would happen if the power grid is down? EMP grid down kind of situation? I do not know the right answer but if my deduction is correct maybe a total chaos/shit hit the fan situation will happen.

The country that is on the tip of your tongue is Sri Lanka, and you can't control what future your country will have unless you become influential, and I pray to anyone out there that your country will not succumb to Chinese influence unlike mine which is slowly eaten by the Red country.

Also, sorry to be a Debbie Downer but I do not think China will be lenient to its debtors, like any day, this day is business as usual. They have a reason that they let them borrow their money, and the current situation is a very perfect set up for their schemes.

So it is alright for you to let China take control of the infrastructures built by the money being borrowed? Do you think that the agreement of taking control of the infrastructure and the land of your own country is a just consequence? I think no because this is clearly an invasion to a land and if you do not see it then you are blind or ignorant.

God bless Satoshi's design to prevent people from exploiting it, aside the typical bitcoin/cryptocurrency related scams, it works like a charm, I can agree with the fact that Satoshi will not stop it. Why would you destroy your brainchild when it is clearly flourishing and helping people liberate from mainstream financial bollocks.

That is a really pressing issue that I also am pondering about. Also, how would they sustain a proper economic flow if there is only a limited amount of coins? And the last block will be mined by 2140, the current quantity will not match the population. To make these thing work, the bitcoin should be passed around different transactions every second to accomodate global trade.

Me too, there are more things to do better than finding who Satoshi is. I was obsessed once about Satoshi's identity but then I realized maybe if Satoshi wanted to be known then Satoshi could have done it a long time ago. If your excuse as to why you want to find Satoshi is to thank then you can just use bitcoin as Satoshi intended it to be used, making Satoshi's vision come true is the biggest "Thank you" that we can do for him.
