In my opinion, I don't think so. A casino has to be in evidence most time as possible to remain popular, because that is the way it won't be erased from people's minds. Once a casino shut down their marketing and support services at the forum, it will be slowly fading away from the community's routine, imaginary and conversations, while another casinos investing in advertisement, active support and frequent promotions will take its spot, overcoming it in the end and gathering all the gamblers for themselves.

Propaganda is always the same in every niches and industries: the more you see it, the higher are the chances you are going to purchase the product or use the service. That is why big companies and franchises are constantly putting their ads everywhere they can: internet, television, newspapers, magazines, outdoors, banners, stickers... After all, it's not only about quality, but also the frequency you are in contact with the object in advertisement, even if you aren't asking or looking for it.

With the exception of shitcoins, the whole market is undervalued in 2022. That is what a bearish market represents. Every altcoins which have a working project concept and showed solid results previously, with loyal supporters' base along the time, are likely to perform well on the next bull run. But keep in mind altcoins by themselves do nothing. It's bitcoin currency which pushes them above. Without bitcoin pumping there isn't altcoins' bull run. So it really doesn't make sense to not pick bitcoin to invest. That is the safest and surest option in crypto market.

And in this case it's even worse, because the addicted gambler didn't cause problems only for himself, but also for his acquainted, who was scammed and lost 56,000€ he received from his mother. Probably this gambler knew about the inheritance received by the other man, and that is why he milked every single penny from him to feed his addiction without worrying if there would be money to repay the "loan" later. It's also shocking the fact this scam lasted for 2 years. It's a lot of time to be scammed in silence without going after the police or suing the borrower.

By looking the website few times I observed the values of the properties fluctuate a lot. I guess there is a fixed value in fiat for each offer and the site is configurated to follow bitcoin market's quotation in real time. The more expensive bitcoin gets, the less you pay for the house/land and the cheaper bitcoin gets, the more you pay. But even in this case, when the market is heavily volatile it can be annoying to close a deal...

One of the properties, for example, was pricing 130BTC, and after few minutes when I checked again it was 129.7BTC.

It looks like Portugal is standing out in bitcoin adoption and usage as currency, congratulations. As I see, there is a decent number of offers disponible at the real estate website displaying properties for sale.

For me the prices looked a bit salty. I thought houses in Portugal were cheaper, or maybe is it more expensive on this site because they are dealing with bitcoin?

Does it mean besides the costs in bitcoin for the property, the buyer has to pay extra costs for the deed of sale and registering the property (taxes to the government), right?

Exactly, crypto market won't be affected by LUNA's death. These are independent subjects. It's crazy to see negative news recently claiming the bearish market and the difficult in recovering prices are a consequence of what happened to LUNA.

Sadly, for investors who picked this currency wrongly, I fear there are minimum chances any action plan to save the ecosystem will work. When an event like this happens, it becomes nailed in the history of crypto industry. Everyone knows about LUNA's fiasco, even those who aren't crypto enthusiasts know about it. People will stay away from anyone and anything related to LUNA from now on.

Maybe the best to do would be to compensate investors with the funds this project still holds and then finish it.

The price can always crash deep further, including during a bearish market. It's out of our control and forecast skills. But at some point you have to set your enter point, even knowing this harsh reality, otherwise you won't thrive in crypto market. To not get disappointed I think about those people who bought BTC during its ATH in 2017 and have seen their investments crashing to the bottom, although they didn't lose hope. Instead, they just kept holding with patience and assurance someday bitcoin would overcome that bear market. And that is exactly what happened.

From an ATH of almost 20,000$, to 3000$ in 2018, to the impressive ATH of 70,000$ last year.

I can't say how further bitcoin will reach yet, but I'm pretty sure some upper levels above 100,000$ and 200,000$ are reachable and guaranteed. And actually, if it wasn't for Federal Reserve and their attractive interest rates, bitcoin could be close to the 100,000$ mark right now. But no problem, the event was just delayed. Inevitably it will happen one time or another and once it happens, better that you are prepared holding your coins.

About 1,000,000$ or something near this price range, for now it is just a daydream. Market volume has to increase a lot yet. Number of investors and amount of funds must grow exponentially.

Anyway, nobody is late to the party, because it hasn't begun yet. But make sure you bought your ticket previously, since once the party starts, entrances run out really fast...

It looks like people following him don't bother losing money... Cult is indeed a good definition for the relationship between him and his followers. Elon is an unstable and dangerous guy, as are the crypto investments he endorses on his twitter through serious or joke posts. Investors who care about their money should stay away from him. Musk is good in making money for himself and not for other people. That is how billionaire act. They didn't reach where they are for being benevolent or charitable.

This usually happens when the gambler avoids a bet to not risk losing his money, so he go away from the casino or website, but he can't just forget it, because it's like a temptation hiting inside his mind all the time, telling him what if he gambled that money and won the prize, what he could do with such amount of cash and how it would change his night, weekend or his life for better.

It's really hard to calm down those thoughts, but thankfully you did it for your own good! Anyway, keep watching yourself and your gambling habits, as we never know when our emotions are going to be exacerbated again.

Even though you have another source of income it's not executable. Nobody knows for how long bitcoin will keep stable on the currently price range or if it will crash further, but it's sure you will have to pay the loan back every month to the bank. And the interest charged is too high. I usually see people borrowing money in order to buy a car or a house and when I see how much they are being charged by the banks in interest percentage, I conclude they could be purchasing two cars or two houses with the money they are paying back to the bank, if they were more economical and didn't rely on banks for money.

With bitcoin it's the same principle. Being economical it's possible to acquire more bitcoins, instead of filling the banks' pockets with easy profit through loans.

Who knows... I got surprise days ago after seeing litecoin is still a popular currency among crypto gamblers, raising its usage from 3,5% last year to 6,45% this year.

Moreover, litecoin has integrated recently the called Mimblewimble protocol, which promises to enable users to send confidential transactions. Depending how it's going to be received by the market and how useful it's going to be for real, MimbleWimble can be indeed a booster for litecoin adoption.

Well, El Salvador needs much more wealth to become the richest country in the world in 8 years. Currently, it's well known they hold at least 1801BTC, which is proportional to 54,856,659$ dollars in real time rates. Let's say bitcoin hits its ATH at 70,000$. Then El Salvador will have more than multiplied their investment into 126,070,000$. That is a lot of money, but not enough to become the richest country in world, though...

Solely investments in bitcoin aren't sufficient. Territory size isn't an issue, but a country needs to develop their own technology to rise in GDP ranking. Look the example of Japan. They are a small island, but rank at third in GDP.

My only fear regards bitcoin is that internet becomes unavailable at some moment of our history due to massive wars or censorship. That is the kind of uncertainty I most fear when thinking if I should keep my investments in bitcoin or not. In extreme situations I'm not sure if digital goods are a good idea, so it's preferable to focus in physical intrinsic stuff, which you can have direct access to, without having to rely on a third party service or item to transact or deal with.

On the other hand, in a chaotic scenario like that, bitcoin would fit as a decent choice to be used to help rebuilding the world, once the storm is over and new times begin. Consequently it might be worthful to keep holding even when the scenario looks the worst possible.

Take these news with a grain of salt. One thing is what they report, another thing is what really happened. Moreover, there are a lot of details in the background that aren't mentioned on the official news. If it was easy to earn huge money selling NFT arts, many designers and artists would be rich right now, while what we see in fact are isolated cases of people earning absurd amounts of money for apparently worthless art pieces. Majority earns nothing, even though their creations are so good or better than the wealthy ones.

I believe there are personal interests on this market that goes beyond the love for art... And that is what makes some NFTs so lucrative for few groups, boosting their prices to the sky. It might be solely speculation or it might be money laundering, who knows... Anyway, don't delude yourself with these things. Search for more palpable and tangible earning methods.

It's not easy to run an animals or crops farm. It requires a lot of spare time, effort and care from the farmer. You need to work all day long to earn too little in return, because it's not only about planting the seeds, watering them or feeding the chickens once in a day. You need to check everyday (probably more than once) the crops to see if there are any diseases or parasites attacking it, you need to clean the chickens' spots, water and food trough, because it becomes dirty really fast, you need a very strict routine to not miss any daily task.

For most people it's not practicable, especially for those used to the life in the cities.

What people can do is to invest in a countryside property and rent it for now to local farmers or something like that. And if someday a chaotic crisis starts and food supplies become low and expensive, their jobs stop being profitable, they have already a plan B in mind, that is to live in the countryside full-time, producing their own basic goods to survive. It looks romanticized, but in fact it's a harsh life or better saying, a survival experiment.

That is a good idea. With 1,000,000$ in funds it's not necessary or recommended to invest in doubtful, suspicious altcoins. Better to stick with the currencies ruling crypto market, which at same time have a solid base, demand and reputation. Since OP asked for altcoins to be invested, I would probably would split 60-70% in ETH and 30-40% in BNB. Maybe for fun, I would select one more altcoin to invest up to 5% of the portfolio. Investing this way there is a lot of profit return potential for the next bull run, while not taking the high risks of investing in altcoins that only have a value because of hype and speculation.

The issue with high transaction fees isn't an exclusivity of african continent. And it wouldn't be a limitation if financial standards in Africa weren't too low... That is the root of the issue. If you have money to invest in bitcoin or to work with bitcoin and earn an income from it, you will have money to pay for transactions fees.

I think the main limitations right now are the financial one, as mentioned, the lack of educational background/understanding on bitcoin usage and lack of access to technological gadgets and devices, which proportionate a much better comprehension and learnship not only on crypto subject, but in every aspects covering technological matters.

If every african had access to internet, a desktop or smartphone, they would easily understand bitcoin can be bought in fractions, while learning how to use an exchange by seeing how it works on practice.

That is an important point to take note: we don't know how long campaigns are going to last, therefore they don't offer financial stability like a formal job we could have access in our countries. Taking this into consideration, I would suggest people to not live as a king (even if they could), because this way they will be "wasting" money that is useful for investing in the present moment, in order to prepare themselves financially for the future, for times when signature campaigns might not be disponible anymore. Adding this to the potential appreciation in BTC price that must happen anytime soon, people can build a very decent income in some years.

It all depends on what benefits the referrer is offering for people becoming his referrals. It might be a cashback percentage over their wagered funds, prize draws from times to times, or crypto rewards for completing achievements stated by the referrer inside the platform. Referrals need to be incentivized somehow to have their productivity raised and the affiliate program must be benefical for both sides.
