Or we can say crypto is one good venue to fool people and take their money by luring them high returns. I don't know how people easily throw their hard-earned money to some stranger over internet who is claiming to be XYZ by posting fake LinkedIn profiles. Not everyone's Einstein then why do people expect that every project will become successful?
Creating blockchain applications is not easy job. It requires immense knowledge as well as creativity. Only invest money in projects that are really launched by someone as far-sighted as Vitalik Buterin.

The problem is not with the people's mentality to assume cryptocurrencies as a sort of investment instead of utility tokens but the real problem is with projects and their progress. All of them are just theory on papers. In reality, none of them actually created any worthy platform to actually use their coin. I have trusted many projects in past whom I thought would become some notable names but their developments are too slow to actually reach among audience and solve their real life problems.
So the difficulty in practical execution of projects has limited their scope to just an investment.

The Barcelona XI for the match has been declared and guess what? Messi is starting the game!!
The main reason for Barcelona's struggle in Laliga away games this season is the absence of Messi in team. But now he has fully recovered and ready to fire!
Also tonight XI has De Jong, Arthur and Busquets in midfield along with Roberto, Lenglet, Pique and Semedo in defence. It is interesting that Valverde chose Semedo above Firpo to start as Left Back. Let see how it goes. Also I would love if Barca substitute Suarez with Dembele in second half and we will see Griezmann, Messi and Dembele trio for the first time ever!

My Prediction: Barcelona 5 : 1 Inter

You can use CoinPayments, fees is only 0.5%. Also there is no need to do KYC. I think being a merchant, you can afford that much fees. Even VISA/MasterCard charge inter-change fees which is near to that.
Else, you always have BTCPayServer as an option. However, if you are not much into tech and doesn't fully know how bitcoin transaction works then setting up BTCPayServer is tough job.

Are you sure? Can you name any player other than Lucas Vazquez and Valverde who actually came from Madrid's academy and playing in Real Madrid's first team currently?
Whereas, in Barcelona first team I can name many players:
Gerard Pique, Sergi Roberto, Sergio Busquests, Lionel Messi, Ansu Fati, Carles Perez, Carles Alena, Wague, Riqui Puiz.

So in terms of giving opportunities to academy players, Barcelona is surely better than Real Madrid.

In my case, my bank never asked me about sudden increase in receipts. In 2017-18, I made some big profits from cryptocurrencies and withdrew about 6x of my previous bank balance. But I received no follow-back from my bank. Rather I received call from my bank representative offering me zero-fees credit card and some other privileges.
However, I had to disclose my source of income while paying income tax. In that, I showed all my profits as capital gains and never received any inquiry from Income Tax Department about the exact source of income.

Say again? Do you think no corporation or individual has control over Bitcoin? So you mean the unrealistic pumps/dumps that happen or the trading volume of BTC/USDT, everything is real and natural?
Pff! Bitcoin price and market is mostly controlled whales and big corporations. When I say big corporations, it means Exchanges obviously. They have huge reserves of Bitcoins like 250K-500K. Whenever, they wish to manipulate market, they easily do so. They can buy or sell off just 5% of their reserves and it can easily trigger BTC price by 20-30%.

You are right. Upto the point of listing, value of coin is what project devs choose for ICO. But not every project sell all coins at that price. There are discounts, there are airdrops, there are bounties and what not. These free distributions dilute the price of coin. So when coin is listed on exchange for the first time, first line of sellers i.e. real investors start selling. But soon second line of sellers who got coins for no value start dumping their coins and price starts to fall.

I will give it a chance.

Cryptocurrencies don't give you assurance in long tern like mutual funds do. You can't say after 5 years, you will approx. make XX% profit on your investment. It may be possible that your investment doubles the next month or fall to 80% after 5 years.
Therefore, when dealing with something as hot as cryptocurrencies, better remain as close to market as possible. Follow all news, read charts everyday, anticipate events. Keep your portfolio updated or your investment will die with dead coins.

The OP's question is really like, Which one is easier winning daily at gambling or winning lottery at once!
In truth, both are impossible. No one is that skillful as well as lucky enough to make 1-2% daily, nor does anyone can make guaranteed 20-30% every month.

As suggested by you, 5-6% is quite achievable. All it takes is following some good signals and doing intra-day with short intervals. But for someone indulged completely in trading, is it really fruitful to make just 5-6% a month?

Negative interest rates act as a simulator for banks to give their excess reserve as loans rather than keeping it with central bank of the country. The concept is more evident in developed countries like Japan and Switzerland. In developing countries like India, central banks pays interest upto 5-6% when it receives fund from commercial banks but in case of developed countries, commercial banks have to pay to central bank to keep their money.
Therefore, banks are more inclined to give money to general public than central bank.
I don't see any direct impact of this on Bitcoin but since negative rated instills economic growth, it may have indirect positive impact on investments like Bitcoin.

Oops, yes! My bad. I ignored an important assumption in my post. In case of two-sector economy, S = I where I is investment. So yes, when people save money, they either keep it to themselves or keep it in banks. In case they keep money with themselves then it doesn't contribute to economic development but if they deposit it with bank, bank further lend it to others. Here, another concept comes into picture, the concept of Investment Multiplier. When banks lend money, the borrower further give money to someone else, the other person may deposit money into his bank. This way money is back into bank and bank can once again lend the same money to someone else. So, savings do contribute to economic development if it is channelled through banks.

Lionel Messi has so far zero goal in this season. He played just 2 Laliga and 1 champions league game, none of which he played for full 90 minutes. So far, he is not able to fully-recover the injury. I think 4 goals is too much ask from him for tonight game but it would be good if he plays full 90 minutes and scores one or two.

Savings is not always beneficial for economical growth. National Income is defined as sum total of consumption and savings i.e. Y = C + S.
Now suppose there is increase in income, the additional income could be either saved or spent. If it is saved then marginal propensity to save will increase which means no economic activity has been undertaken with additional money. Hence, MPS is inversely proportional to economic spending.
So if additional income is always saved then it may act as hindrance for economical growth.

Same, I was busy in some work and didn't get time to watch that game. What a performance from Bayern, unbelievable!
Last year Messi came to Wembley and scored beautiful brace against Tottenham, this year it's Gnabry who took the charge to humiliate Tottenham. 3 goals in 4 minutes, just a Bayern thing!

And yeah, Messi and Dembele are back in Barça's squad for tonight encounter with Inter. For the first time in this season that every attacking player of Barça is fit to play. It is going to be a very enjoyable encounter!

I don't think fall to $8K is any big deal at all. When we discuss the price speculation of something as dynamic as Bitcoin then instead of single number, we should always talk in array or range. It is very much evident from charts at the moment that Bitcoin will easily sail 2019 with the price range of $8-13K which is pretty good compared to last year fall.

I don't think Bitcoin halving will be beneficial for altcoins. The event is solely related to Bitcoin and may bring instant jump in Bitcoin price by 30-40% or even more. Whereas altcoins are rather expected to hold their values in terms of USD but may fall in terms of BTC value. So it is advisable to hold Bitcoin rather than distributing portfolio is other coins for now.

Agreed. Trading is not black/white sort of thing. It is grey, you have to follow mix of different strategies. You can't stick to one plan and hope it works everytime. Crypto Market is highly dynamic, things change here at the fraction of time so there is no fun holding any coin for long. One has to take advantage of every market curve.
