Indeed, where some see an issue, others see an opportunity. Just like in 2018, let's enjoy the season of cheap bitcoins the maximum we can. I'm confident it's just a matter of time until the next bull run starts. It can take a year or by 2024 yet due to the next halving, who knows, but the only thing I want to be sure is to be prepared when this time comes. At same time, it's important to avoid  FUD and advises from speculators on the internet meanwhile. There are many influencers instilling in people's minds they should give up on bitcoin and adopt random altcoins which they claim to be the next "big promise" of crypto market.

I believe that is one major reason why investors are having difficult to focus in bitcoin investment nowadays and end falling for hyped altcoins.

Stable month, it seems. Nothing too different from May should be expected... There aren't major news or events which could possibly boost bitcoin price up. I see news keep saying bitcoin won't stay cheap like this for too long, but that is all they have to say for now, and although I think they are right, it's not convincing enough to push a bull run forward.

I bought a BTC physical wallet with bitcoin once, lol. Great purchase!

If it were possible, I would go shopping with bitcoin much more frequently. Maybe someday it will be possible, but right now investment is the main application for btc.

Futurely I hope to purchase a house or apartment with bitcoin, although it must be a good deal. I'm not going to pay more than the necessary, just for the pleasure of dealing with bitcoin.

That is really sad and I feel sorry for the people who did this and lost their patrimony, but couldn't they have at least put their funds into the most reliable cryptocurrency among all, that is bitcoin? First that it is a risky move to sell patrimony to invest (they are risking money they can't afford to lose), but since they are willing to it anyway, the investment must be very well calculated to maximize earnings chances.

To invest this money in ICOs, altcoins and memecoins is insanity since the beginning. These currencies don't offer any solidity and long term perspectives to adopters. Bitcoin, on the other hand, does, as we can see through its history since it was launched.

That is true. Not that in Denmark it's going to happen frequently, but I can imagine this trend reaching to another governments around the world and having their citizens creating schemes of renting, lending and manufacturing IDs to others who can't have a legit ID by themselves. Next step from governments will be to integrate a live monitoring system attached to every gamblers' devices to record their faces while they gamble, so there won't be any doubts the person gambling is the same person of the ID card.

Hard to compare both. I believe physical, palpable precious metals will always be more important than virtual goods such as bitcoin. And although we don't know how much gold there is disponible in the universe, it's a fact gold is still very scarce and difficult to acquire.

There is a lot of gold hidden in the depths of this world yet, but it doesn't mean we know how to access or have the means to access that. On the other hand, with bitcoin it's simpler, as all you have to do is to set a virtual mining farm operation to start earning and accumulating your satoshis. That means bitcoin is more accessible and reachable than gold.

That is the idea, to add more credibility to the project, consequently raising investors' confidence when investing on the cryptocurrency. But if we think carefully about this matter, it doesn't make much difference anyway to know who are the people behind a project. Knowing Do Kwon is behind LUNA didn't prevent people losing hundreds of thousands dollars. It probably has even made people lose more money, since they felt too confident because they knew the developer and invested more than they should.

Furthermore, almost every ICOs have a developer team section, displaying a picture and social medias of each of them. And once more, it doesn't prevent some of these projects stopping at the middle of the development and most of them being useless and unprofitable after the launchment.

After all, the effect is more at the marketing field than anywhere else.

I agree with you in many points of your text, and indeed, that is something that could be done by bitcoin enthusiasts on their businesses to spread adoption. Actually, it would be great if businesses daily demanded by the masses used the strategy of discounts when paying with bitcoin, you mentioned above. Imagine a big supermarket doing this. The impact would be huge and at least 50% of customers would start using bitcoin immediately!

Regards it, for now there is nothing the government can do in most countries, because there isn't a legislation over bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general yet. It's gray area and people can't be forbidden using it for payments. However, by the end of this or next year there must be a new set of laws coming into action to regulate this market (in my country).

Once it happens, then I really don't know how harmful it's going to be for big businesses to adopt bitcoin. For the small ones it doesn't make much difference, because they are below the radar and can deal with their customers informally.

It's a good moment to invest in cryptocurrency, but only if you are a patient person who will be able to wait and hold your investments up to few years, since we don't how long the bear market is still going to last and if the prices are going to crash a little more yet.

News aren't positive for crypto universe these days. I've just seen reports of crypto exchanges firing employees in order to reduce internal costs. That is a clear sign investors are in another markets for now, so crypto companies have to adjust themselves to this reality where the money flow has decreased. It was explained this is happening due to risk aversion among investors, although we know it's because traditional markets currently offer a better proportion between returns x risk than crypto investments.

Everything crypto enthusiasts have to do is to be ready once money start flowing into cryptocurrency again. And one more time, since we don't know when exactly it's going to happen, it's advised to be always prepared, to be always holding, because it is just a matter of time until inflation starts eating the profit made by investors at traditional markets, so they will have to come back to crypto.

20%, 30% is nothing... Here the cheapest cooking oil rised 200% since the beginning of the pandemic.

You say it now, but after increasing your budget for food in a third, there won't be limits. After the first third, there will be other, and another... That is inflation hiting you really hard. And don't think developed countries are safe from this menace. The world has changed. Developed countries' leaders are adopting the same measures third world countries are used to. Just look the example of USA raising interest rates artificially. Typical banana's republic economical policy.

Initially it's a problem, but every solutions come from an initial problem, so there might be a positive side on it, because it can be the starting point for world authorities pay attention to the fact population is growing too fast, while the resources disponible in the world continue the same.

So far governments have been irresponsible, populist and demagogic. They don't care about it. If someone ventures making such proposal, he is going to be labelled with the most terrible existing adjectives. It must be someone of great courage and reason to address this delicate subject with success.

Well, that is the idea here. To give NFT holders access to revenue share, airdrop of $Lucky tokens, VIP, decision power over the future of the casino and lottery tickets to earn extra spins, native tokens and more NFTs.



When NFTs have a function like this they totally worth. Although we must be careful, because this casino was created recently (Q4, 2021) and the project isn't fully developed yet.

Does anyone have already managed to collect a NFT? Can you purchase it or do you have to win it by playing at the casino? It seems details are too restricted to their Discord channel...

Juicy yields usually come followed by juicy token devaluation. For most altcoins, that is the only advantage or benefit they can offer to investors, because the currency actually doesn't bring any innovation or particular feature adopters could be interested in. But it doesn't matter, since all the yields received are in vain once the hype is gone and the token's price crashes.

It's much better to invest in bitcoin and earn regular yields that are considered low for many, although we can have the assurance to be investing in something that is solid and has passed the test of time.

This is a very good idea when going to a store to buy some furniture or accessories. After all, there is no harm in asking. But I think when we have merchants as friends it's much easier to ask and to make a deal with bitcoin, because we have intimacy with them for that.

Unfortunately I don't see opportunities to use bitcoin as money very often. When purchasing goods, I always do a careful research for the cheapest item of the model I'm looking for and it ends that the best promotions disponible are always in fiat. Maybe people living closer to the big urban centers are able to find offers they can pay with bitcoin more frequently.

It's important to exchange part of the profit made through payments received in bitcoin to a stable currency as soon as he receives it in his wallet to guarantee he is going to have money to re-invest on his business and make another round of profit. Only liquid revenue must be kept in BTC and only if he isn't going to need this money on short run for daily outgoings or emergency purposes.

keeping a reserve in fiat for acquiring raw materials, paying for the business' expenses in general and upgrading the store is necessary to not be surprised by market's bearish seasons and crashes. But the rest of the money can be stored in bitcoin without any problems.

When the addicted person puts others in a dangerous situation after losing during a gambling session, it's a final evidence things have already gone too far and he definitely needs medical help and to stop playing immediately. Every addictions are serious and harmful, but this one in special is the most concerning one, because people who have nothing to do with the story are being attacked and assaulted by the addicted gambler.
Sometimes people think compulsive gambling leads only to financial losses, since they see it more often, and forget it also leads to moral and physical damage of the addicted person and those around him.

True, doesn't matter the effort he does on short run to show his website is a good option for gamblers. The inexorable fact is that only time will tell if his sportsbook is legit and trustworthy. The longer he keeps his services active and operating, the more are his chances of increasing his customers base in daily basis, as his reputation as well. It's a job of patience, effort, investment (because promotions can be costly for the house at the beginning) and sacrifice. But after few years some nice results should be achieved. That is the period of time needed until gamblers become confident in depositing larger sums of money on the website, while placing more bets and spending more time there.

In a volatile market like this one everything can happen at any time. Today you might see your investments rising 30%, but on the next day you might see everything falling apart and your investments losing 50% of their initial value.

We, as human beings have a hard time adapting ourselves to uncertainties, so when we are in a situation where dealing with volatility and unpredictable fluctuations is inevitable, we tend to feel sad and depressed the more we absorb the dynamics of this environment. Somehow we are constantly trying to predict and decide what is going to happen in our future, what is going to happen next in our life. That is why we make plans, have goals and feel so accomplished when everything works in the way we planned. But when we fail with our personal goals, plans and aspirations, that depressive feeling hits us really hard.

For this reason, you should always keep your mind on the reality. Don't have absurd goals and expectations about cryptocurrency, so you avoid disappointing yourself if something goes wrong. Besides that, put God above everything else in your life and keep in mind you aren't going to be helpless in any moments, since you have Him by your side. The fulfillment and peace you will feel by doing this is enough to not let any depression take control of you.

Sometimes I have the perception these authorities don't have any problems in their countries to solve and their whole worries and concerns turn around gambling. Maybe they think once they strict gambling at the highest level as possible and totally prevent underage people from gambling, their countries will be perfect in every aspects, as gambling were the root of every issues they face nowadays.

I would like to see technology being spread and helping in fields where it really matters and make the difference for us in our daily lives and not to watch us and control what we are doing every seconds of the day. Governments should let people be responsible for their own acts and stop acting like a babysitter or the big brother...

This protectionist approach governments have towards their citizens is one of the main reasons why there are lots of citizens who can't take responsability for their own acts and keep blaming others for their own mistakes. Like the gambler who borrowed money from his acquainted, didn't pay, and when sued by him, claimed it was the casino's fault to keep offering free spins every time he tried to close his account.

Both are good, but I prefer ethereum, which is still decentralized and has a longer history in crypto market to be compared and analyzed. Of course expensive fees are a big cons when dealing with eth, but even on this case this cryptocurrency hasn't been severely impacted in a negative way by the market's volatility. It remains on top 2 and it doesn't look like it's going to change soon, as many projects rely on ethereum chain, including the newest ones.

However, an investor doesn't have to choose only one of them. A smart investor can split his funds in several parts and hold every options that look good for him.
Just make sure to have the largest portion of money applied in bitcoin. Altcoins should be always secondary.

I guess it won't be part of the official curriculum, since the initiative came from a non-governmental organization. And to be part of the curriculum, a governmental department (educational one) should approve this concept first and then introduce the matter inside a subject like mathematics or hire a specialist to teach. At least, that is my guess, though. Maybe I'm wrong...

Moreover, Argentina's government discourages crypto usage. That is what they said after sealing a deal with IMF in order to launch a recovery plan for the local devastated economy:
