Öncelikle, kilitli olarak satın alan herkese bol sabır dilemek ve tebrik etmek istiyorum. Daha satış süreci başlamadan en az iki katı getiri sağlayacağı kesindi ve böyle de oldu. Kilit süreci tamamlanana kadar fiyatın hangi yöne hareket edeceğini şu aşamada tahmin etmek biraz zor gibi çünkü hem kripto para piyasasının hem de Beşiktaş'ın elde edeceği başarıların fiyat yönünde ciddi etkisi olacaktır. Bir diğer yandan kilitsiz satışın 5 saniye gibi çok kısa süre içerisinde tamamlanması da token için olan talebin ne kadar yüksek olduğunu göstermiş oldu. Kilitsiz şekilde alanlar bile ciddi bir kazanç elde etti ve bu satış baskısına rağmen güncel fiyat çıkış fiyatının altına inmedi. Umuyorum ki bu böyle devam eder ve kilitli şekilde satın alan herkes de kazancını elde edebilir.
422  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Getting paid on gambling accounts on: October 04, 2023, 11:55:13 AM
I made a mistake of getting paid for signature campaign in gambling platform accounts.
When I got my payment, I thought I would slowly increase the amount by about 5-10% before I initiate a withdrawal. But I quickly lost control of my emotions and ended up blowing the entire balance of my account. This happened more than once, it happened about 5 times as I received money from different sources.
It’s important for me to tell this story so that others don’t make the same mistake I did. This has been a huge life lesson in managing money and emotional self-discipline .

The mistake you mentioned is actually something that many of us make and cause us to quickly use up our signature payments for no reason. Especially for someone with a secret gambling addiction, receiving signature campaign payments in this way actually encourages them to spend their entire balance. Although it is a money earned through effort when payment is received as online casino balance through a signature campaign our risk threshold increases to double this amount. Gambling is an activity that doesn't cause any harm when played in a disciplined manner just for fun and if it is not played in a disciplined manner as you mentioned. It causes your entire balance to be depleted. Therefore, if possible, it is necessary to receive the signature campaign payments into the cryptocurrency wallet or transfer the payment added as balance directly to the cryptocurrency wallet.

As an additional solution method, gambling with a certain part of the payment amount received and transferring the remaining amount to the cryptocurrency wallet, provided that discipline is maintained, will also help to avoid consuming all the money. Someone who is not addicted to gambling can have fun by gambling with 20% of the payment amount and keep the remaining amount as savings in their cryptocurrency wallet. I hope you can set a good plan for the signature campaign payments in the coming weeks and transfer some of it to your cryptocurrency wallet as savings without spending your entire balance.

What you say seems to make more sense. Because the information provided is not enough to confirm that it is the truth. It's just that when talking about McDonald's accepting bitcoin as payment, I heard about it last year1. But I haven't heard it again this year. So I don't know whether they still accept bitcoin or not. And McDonald's only accepts Bitcoin in a few countries. But for the transactions that occurred in the OP, I don't believe it yet. But I still believe that it could be true and happen at McDonald's which accepts bitcoin in certain regions or countries.

I have heard several times before that McDonalds will accept payments with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but none of them were from a reliable source and McDonalds didn't verify this information. Since Bitcoin is widely used especially in some countries it is of course possible for McDonalds to accept payments with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but frankly I don't believe such news unless McDonalds confirms the accuracy of this information.

On the other hand, I opened the reference article you forwarded to review it but since I didn't know what language the content was in I couldn't examine the details written on the subject. Additionally, I think that it isn't right for this website to share such news content and be considered a complete reference because it isn't a website that is valid as a reliable source worldwide. For this reason, since there is no content from a reliable source or confirmation by McDonalds I think it wouldn't be correct to state clearly that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were accepted by McDonalds last year or later.

Bitcoin daha önce pek fazla rastlamadığımız bir senaryo ile bize 48 saatlik bir gösteri gerçekleştirdi. İlk önce, beklentilerin üzerinde bir yükseliş ile tüm piyasalara bir yeşillik gelmesi fakat bu yeşillenmenin eskisi gibi birkaç gün devam etmeden dün akşama doğru başlayan düşüş trendi ile bugün devam etmesi birçok trader'ı zor durumda bırakmış durumda. Her ne kadar son birkaç aylık süreç içerisinde sadece düşüş odaklı hareketler görüyor olsak da bu şekilde bir fiyat artışı olduğu zaman birkaç gün boyunca artışın devam ettiğini veya ilk sıçramanın yaşandığı seviyelerde hareket ettiğini görmekteydik. Bu sefer ise birçok trader'ı bu konuda yanıltacak bir hareket gerçekleşti ve fiyat sıçramasının hemen ardından düşüş süreci yeniden başladı.

Böyle bir süreç içerisinde olmamız sebebi ile henüz boğaya giriş sürecinin başlamamış olduğunu ve halving döneminin yaklaşacağı güne kadar sahte boğa hareketleri haricinde bir fiyat değişimi olmayacağını düşünüyorum. Bir sonraki boğa dönemi ise çok yüksek ihtimalle halving döneminin tam öncesinde veya çok kısa bir süre sonrasında yaşanacaktır. Tam halving dönemi içerisinde ciddi bir boğa trendinin başlayacağını düşünmemekte olmam sebebi ile halving döneminin tam öncesinde veya çok kısa bir süre sonrasında bir boğa dönemi beklentim bulunuyor.
425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 03, 2023, 11:13:56 AM
As a 26 years old individual who has recovered from gambling addiction in the last three years, I would like to state that I haven't had any thoughts of gambling my entire life. I gamble very rarely, especially since I have managed to get rid of the addiction in the last three years and only gamble for entertainment. Since I play very rarely I don't feel the need to gamble constantly and since I gamble for fun rather than with the ambition of making money I don't lose all my money by getting caught up in games. I don't think that I will continue to gamble for entertainment for a long time without losing much money but I also don't think that I will continue this throughout my life.

I would also like to point out that although I can control myself and my emotions, I will not gamble very often in the coming years in order not to become addicted to gambling again but I will continue to play for fun a few times a year as I have done for the last three years. Considering that casinos offer free food and beverage service especially in my country, it is definitely a great advantage for me to have fun by gambling on certain days and to consume unlimited food and beverages during this process.

Cüzdan adreslerinin yapısından tutunda kullanımına kadar inanılmaz bir mühendislik harikası ile yapıldığını görüyorsunuz. adresinizde ne kadar bol sıfır varsa ödediğiniz fee o kadar düşüyor 🙂 . Bazı kullanıcıların cüzdanlarına bakarsanız heleki mevbotları adreslerin çoğu bol sıfırlı. adamların yaptığı tx inanılmaz miktarda yüksek olunca doğal olarak daha az maliyetli işlemler peşinde koşarak belli çözümleri tercih ediyorlar.

Daha önce hiç duymadığım ve bilmediğim bir bilgi daha öğrenmiş oldum. Her anlamda yapısı ve çalışma mantığı olarak mühendislik harikası olan blok zinciri gerçek anlamda tüm detayları ile düşünülerek yaratılmış. Özellikle ne kadar fazla sıfır olursa o kadar daha az gas fee ödenmesi de kesinlikle çok mantıklı. Belirttiğin gibi gün içerisinde yüzbinlerce hatta milyonlarca işlem yapılan cüzdanların adreslerinde bol sıfır bulunuyor olması gas fee savaşlarının önüne geçmek ve bu cüzdanların gas maliyetlerini düşürmek için oldukça güzel bir şey. Bakalım şu konu altında daha hangi bilgileri görecek ve hiç bilmediğimiz bilgileri bu vesile ile öğrenmiş olacağız.

Bu hesabın satoshi ile hiçbir ilgisi yoktur. Kimin ne amaçla kullandığını yakında öğreniriz.
Twitter'daki verified hesap sistemi büyük bir saçmalıktan ibaret. Sahte hesaplara bile onaylı hesap rozeti veriliyor. Bu forumdan kimse Twitter'daki tuzaklara düşmez ancak tecrübesiz insanlar oradaki dolandırıcılıkların kurbanı olabilir.

Kesinlikle, bu kişinin gerçek Satoshi olduğuna inanmak mümkün değildir. Ayrıca, eski bir hesap değil ise bu kullanıcı adını nasıl alabildiğine de hayret ediyorum doğrusu.

Twitter verified hakkında da kısa bir yorum belirtmek gerekirse birkaç gün önce profil fotoğrafı olarak sahip olduğum NFT'yi kullanıyorken bir başvuru oluşturdum ve hiçbir kimlik onayı olmaksızın 48 saat içerisinde başvuruma onay eldi. Sırf Twitter'ın daha fazla gelir elde edebilmesi için böyle bir şey uygulanması açıkçası platformun daha güvensiz ve dolandırıcıların bulunduğu bir ortama dönüşmesini sağlıyor. İşin bir diğer kötü tarafı ise sadece birkaç takipçi ve birkaç tweet ile verified olabilen kullanıcıları da gördüm. Yani, birkaç dolar ve hiçbir iyi geçmişe sahip olmayan Twitter hesapları bile verified olmak için yeterli ve bu durum dolandırıcıların ekmeğine bal sürmekten başka bir şeye yaramıyor.
428  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you manage your finances and family if your income is low range? on: October 03, 2023, 12:34:11 AM
There are many people around us, where their income is not enough to manage a family how do you manage your family and economy? There are many people who manage their family very well even though their income is very low in their personal life, how do you manage it?

First of all, I would like to state that I am commenting as someone who lives alone and doesn't have any financial responsibilities regarding my family. When checking my personal financial situation, I first calculate my fixed expenses for each month. Then, I calculate the amount I can spend for that month and list my possible expenses in line with this budget. In this way, I use my income efficiently and move on to the next month without going out of my budget unless there is an unexpected expense.

The most important point to consider when planning your financial situation is to accurately determine the amount of fixed expenses compared to monthly income and to follow the budget plan in a disciplined manner.
429  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trade without fees? on: October 02, 2023, 07:12:49 PM
Although every business operating as an exchange in financial markets earns it's income through various methods. The biggest sources of income are generally obtained from transaction commissions. For this reason, it is unlikely that any cryptocurrency exchange will allow commission-free transactions. Of course, many popular cryptocurrency exchanges provide the opportunity to carry out commission-free transactions with certain campaigns and events in some periods but it shouldn't be forgotten that this is applied for a certain period.

In addition, there is also the fact that cryptocurrency exchanges gain users based on the principle of reliability and for this reason many traders prefer the exchange they will use accordingly. In other words, if an exchange allows transactions with zero commission but doesn't have sufficient transaction volume in transaction parities, it will cause serious problems. Especially in leveraged transactions if you choose an exchange with a low transaction volume just to avoid paying commissions it is very likely that your positions will be closed easily as the transaction parities will be manipulated more easily.

Finally, it would definitely be very risky to entrust your capital to a cryptocurrency exchange that is not preferred by users just to make commission-free transactions.
430  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is a 20% Annual Return good ? on: October 02, 2023, 01:49:41 PM
With my experience in the cryptocurrency market, I decided to develop a short-term Bitcoin spot trading strategy using the TradingView platform and its strategy programming tool. I managed to create a strategy that yields an average annual return of 20% according to backtesting. My question is, is this return acceptable, or in your opinion, what would be an acceptable or good return?

The annual earnings rate actually varies depending on the person's own wishes and expectations. To express my opinion, I think it is appropriate to earn an annual profit of 20% depending on the capital amount. The reason why I evaluate it depending on the capital amount is that there is not much advantage in gaining 20% profit with small capital on a unit basis. Of course, earning this amount as a percentage is a nice success but there is a big difference between earning 20% with a capital of 1,000 USD and earning 20% with a capital of 100,000 USD.

As I mentioned, if we need to interpret it as a percentage, a gain of 20% or more can definitely be considered quite sufficient because many investment instruments do not offer this much profit on an annual basis.
431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Answer this Question on Credits Left on a Slot Machine by Someone Else on: October 02, 2023, 10:11:59 AM
There is a general rule in land based casinos that a gambler shouldn't take credits left on a slot machine by someone else. Basically, from what I understand, if there is still credit showing on a slot machine. Don't cash out or add to your money you put into the machine. Right? The question is if you find a cash out voucher resting on the machine itself or on the seat, can you legally use it?

To give an example from the physical casino machines, in my country the card system is used in all slot games and it is possible to deposit money directly with the machine. For example, when I deposit money to my card from the first machine and I start gambling with this is reflected in my balance and I start gambling. Afterwards, I log-out of my account again with my card for the amount I want and I can log-in with my card again on a different machine and continue playing with my balance there. Although this is of course not a valid method in every physical casino but I wanted to point this out based on my own experience and observations.

Additionally, once you start gambling and exit the machine with your card, data such as the current account balance and the last game amount disappear from the screen. In this way, with the card system various games can be played with a one-time deposit without leaving any balance in any machine and your balance last game winnings or last game bet amount are not displayed by the next person.

For this reason, it isn't possible to use anyone else's balance or voucher in physical casinos in my country. Finally, to answer the question about using someone else's voucher coupon, I think it shouldn't be used because it would make you legally guilty if this situation is detected and I don't find it ethical. There is not much difference between committing theft by stealing money from a person's pocket and using a voucher code belonging to another person.
432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New ID requirements for Gamblers in Australia on: October 02, 2023, 07:30:15 AM
Australia, especially recently has started to offer very serious specifications in order to minimize gambling habits. In addition to restricting the money that individuals can spend on gambling with many regulations, many new regulations have begun to be created in order to minimize the rate of gambling with various actions. In fact, although the main aim is to reduce the rate of gambling with many decisions taken and many regulations implemented, it is a very good thing that casinos are also subject to strict inspections with government control. These regulations, in addition to controlling both individuals and casinos also enable casinos to provide services within the framework of a certain responsibility towards their users.

Especially considering physical casinos I think that the KYC procedure is mandatory for all users before this decision. Although this may seem like a newly announced decision it was actually a long-standing rule that should be implemented by every casino.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons you should not gamble on too many things at once. on: October 01, 2023, 04:06:19 PM
Higher bets if you just want to feel the adrenaline or want to win big quickly in my opinion are not the right steps, for example in soccer betting we can divide the bets into several matches and then divide a certain amount of money for each bet there of course the chance of winning can be realized more while betting on In one match there is definitely a risk when we are not really lucky.

Even though we can predict sports betting, it still all comes back to luck because without it it would feel useless and most addicts usually place high bets to achieve big wins and return the money lost due to previous losses, but believe me, this all has quite a high risk too. . It's best to avoid betting like that even if you have a lot of money, bet wisely and bet with money that you are ready to lose.

I also wanted to express that the entire budget shouldn't be used at once to feel the adrenaline and create excitement in gambling. Of course, every bet placed in gambling will cause excitement, anticipation and adrenaline but if this happens with the full balance, all these factors will reach their highest level. I would like to point out again that I don't mean that the entire balance should be used at once just to experience this feeling and I definitely don't want to support this idea. That's why, in my quoted message I expressed my opinion that the entire balance shouldn't be used in gambling at once. In gambling, every bet causes adrenaline rush and gives the person excitement. So, instead of experiencing this at the peak all at once it is a more logical option to experience it gradually several times.

Gambling should always be played with money with risk of losing and should never be played with the entire balance at once due to the risk involved. Although some types of gambling may occur based on analysis or research it is necessary to act without forgetting that there is always risk.
434  Economy / Economics / Re: Recession? How to face It? on: October 01, 2023, 11:37:02 AM
Recession don’t mean anything to you if you have enough passive income from your investments. Having some hard physical cash is important too. If your only cash flow is your pay-job, then you can worry a little bit because if you get fired, you will lose your cash flow but you’ll still have to pay the bills (rent, electricity, water, internet etc…) So you either have to have a side income which is mostly recession-proof or you need to have some cash so you can pay your bills in case of an emergency. If you don’t have any of these back up plans then the recession will ruin your life. Alternatively, you can cut down your expenses too. Just unsubscribe from the services you don’t use much.

Certainly, a recession doesn't mean much to someone with passive income but depending on the type of passive income, the income stream may be affected by the recession. For example, someone who earns rental income by buying and renting a house will have passive income but if the tenant loses his/her salary or job there will be disruptions in payments. Since this person cannot be removed from the house immediately in accordance with many laws, this passive income will be negatively affected for a few months. On the other hand, for someone who earns passive income through dividends, their capital will decrease and their dividend income will decrease after the companies lose value and shrink. In other words, it would not be correct to say that someone who has a fully passive income will not be affected by the recession.

On the other hand, it is absolutely very important to have physical cash in such a period because cash is more in demand during the recession. In addition, since banks are negatively affected during the recession, serious problems such as not being able to use all the savings in the bank or not being able to physically convert them into cash are also observed.

Unfortunately, those who feel the most serious impact during the recession are unfortunately salaried employees because companies undergo various downsizings and many people lose their jobs in such periods. On the other hand, while there is no increase in the salaries of individuals who have not lost their jobs there is also a decline in purchasing power due to the increase in the prices of all products by recession.
435  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is this the path you should take to become successful? on: October 01, 2023, 06:57:03 AM
Just because a person is an idiot doesn't mean that that person will always say wrong or illogical things. Even though the person is an idiot, he/she will of course have reasonable ideas or words about some issues. Rather than generalizing I think it is a very true statement to talk about the saying in question.

Success is something achieved by being disciplined, working hard and being determined. Not giving up in case of the slightest mistake or negativity, trying again and again if necessary and trying to achieve the goal with great determination are definitely very important factors for achieving success. For this reason, I think that a person should motivate himself well and this statement made by Trump is quite logical. Of course, being successful in one attempt is a great thing but not every success is achieved with a one-time attempt. For this reason, in order to achieve success the individual must work in a very disciplined manner, gain experience from his/her mistakes and not repeat these mistakes and focus on his/her goal with great determination.
436  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading can ruin you on: September 30, 2023, 08:07:54 PM
Although trading and being successful is based on experience unfortunately it can cause the individual to lose money under any circumstances. In particular, if this loss is equal to the entire capital amount, occurs with borrowed money, or is of a very serious amount it causes the person to be completely absolved. For this reason, we should control ourselves well while trading and the necessary trigger orders should be entered after the necessary analysis and research is carried out for each transaction. Especially when trading with spot balance controlling a person's psychology is at least as important as technical analysis because a person's psychology is a very important factor to continue trading activities.

Another important factor is that especially inexperienced individuals who are new to trading gain experience by analyzing all their transactions well during this process because the experience and psychology to be gained in this process play an important role in ensuring its continuity. Losing money without gaining any experience will affect the person financially and earning money without gaining any experience will cause the person to sink into the swamp. I would like to finish my comment by adding this quote which I love especially for friends who have just started trading;

''The worst thing that can happen to you in the financial markets is to make money on your first trade. The second thing is to make money again and the worse thing is to make money for the third time.”

This saying means that after an inexperienced person makes a profit by trading without losing money repeatedly he/she will lose more money while trading as he will have the perception of "I have succeeded, this success will continue."

I have always been against marriages made for money or citizenship because in any marriage made in this way individuals are not happy and cannot make each other happy. However, if it is necessary to give an answer based on the question asked I think these two options are no different from each other. If the purpose here is to marry for money it doesn't matter what kind of wealth one of the sides has. Of course, both options have different advantages and disadvantages but basically in both options one of the sides has a certain wealth.
438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card gambling fuels gambling addiction on: September 30, 2023, 02:37:53 PM
that's why it's highly recommended not to use a credit card because it's not a good way to gamble, even some countries have banned the use of credit cards on gambling sites and it's best to use crypto money or other cash, always just use money that we're ready to lose and don't too greedy to play with big money, especially by going into debt using a credit card.

Even though playing with the little money you have is not a problem as long as it can make you enjoy gambling, after all, if you gamble using it, it is certain that in addition to paying debts you will also pay quite a lot of interest costs, my advice is never to use a credit card to gamble no matter how big you feel. If you want to gamble, you should ignore that feeling. If you don't have cash, you should do other activities or gather with your family to divert that feeling.

Every rule applied or taken economically is realized by the occurrence of many events. Just as we both mentioned gambling with a credit card causes a person to gamble with debt and lose money in addition to spending all his/her money. This causes individuals to be prosecuted and penalized through the legal process with the bank if the debt cannot be paid. Of course, when this is the case countries prohibit gambling with credit cards in order to avoid using credit cards for gambling expenses and to minimize such situations. For these reasons, in order to minimize the risk of gambling with borrowed money alternative payment methods are accepted and the person is allowed to gamble only with his/her own money. Of course, such restrictions are not a complete solution but they minimize all potential possibilities.

For example, a person cannot directly gamble with a credit card because many countries have banned the use of credit cards as a payment method for gambling but since it is possible to buy cryptocurrency with a credit card, anyone can easily buy cryptocurrency and gamble with this money. In other words, every precaution taken only prevents the person from spending money on gambling more easily but cannot completely prevent it.
439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons you should not gamble on too many things at once. on: September 30, 2023, 11:10:39 AM
Even though it brings various negative impacts, it will not stop gamblers from continuing to bet on large betting amounts because, according to them, the winnings they will get will also be large. And even though the risk is big, they can accept it, so they still bet with higher bets. Indeed, this can lead to gambling addiction, especially if they continue to gamble without sufficient rest time and a desire to chase victory. We have seen many gamblers who become stressed because their losses this time are getting bigger, and even though they can accept their losses, it is still a big loss. They may plan to return to the casino and try to recover their losses. But the harder they try, the more they may lose. We don't need to try, especially if we have experienced a losing streak, and it is better for us to rest and reduce tension for a few days.

I'm not sure I can translate it exactly correctly but there is a saying about this:

''How much you work, you will gain the amount for your work.''

In other words, the higher the amount of the game played in gambling the greater the potential gain will be. However, it shouldn't be forgotten that when gambling the person must determine the bet amount in line with his/her own budget. That is, if person A has a budget of 10,000 USD and spending 1,000 USD on a single bet will not cause a serious problem for this person but if a person B with a 1,000 USD budget spends 1,000 USD on a single bet it will potentially cause him/her to lose his entire budget. This will lead to the need for this person to deposit money for gambling again by spending more than his/her budget to bet again. In other words, regardless of a person's budget it is very important not to use their entire budget for one gamble at a time to ensure continuity of earnings. For this reason, the entire balance should not be consumed in a single gamble, regardless of the amount depending on the budget.

Especially individuals addicted to gambling generally aim to place higher bets with their entire budget and gain high profits at once but unfortunately this causes high risk and high tension.
440  Economy / Economics / Re: The Kids buying Mcdonald order via BTC on: September 30, 2023, 08:44:11 AM
I agree with you. I was also skeptical about this knowing that McDonalds is a massive international food chain. If they are accepting crypto payment (heck even just a few branches) I'm sure it will make noise and we will find a post here in the forum about it. Moreover, you have a good point regarding the legality of cryptocurrencies for a lot of countries, which is a big factor to consider before a big food chain like McDonalds incorporate it as an official means of payment.

As for the picture posted, I think it was taken out of context. There are a lot of possibility on what could have happened there. For example, it could be that it just so happened that the phone was opened to that page and since the kid and whoever he was with was in front of the ordering machine it was misunderstood by the one who took the photo. Nevertheless, unless there is a legit verification as to what the actual facts are regarding the phone, I'd say it is not reliable to assume they are paying using BTC.

Yes, if such a large food chain restaurant starts accepting payments with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies we will see thousands of news content about it in many sources. I agree with many things you mentioned but I think it isn't possible for only a few McDonalds branches to accept payment with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies because such chain businesses generally use some common payment methods and only exceptionally use a different payment method in the country where they are located. I don't think that such a payment method will be accepted exceptionally in any country at least under today's conditions especially since Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies aren't yet legally accepted by all countries.

I think that the photo we see here may be fake or as another possibility, another customer may have made these children's order with cash or credit card payment and requested this amount from the children in Bitcoin. Of course in the event of such a scenario it is very likely that such a photo will be taken and disseminated through social media in order to misinform many people.

Indeed. Also, I'm not quite sure the way how McDonald's could accept BTC since it is a fast food chain and the order should be paid fast as well and this is how you can spend a few hours in McDonald's just waiting for your transaction to get confirmation as none of the solutions (such as LN) was mentioned on the screenshots from the first post.

Certainly, the execution of Bitcoin transfers varies depending on network density. For this reason, a business whose main purpose is to deliver food quickly can't waste time completing the transfer process by accepting payment in Bitcoin. In addition, if a possible network blockage or similar situation occurs considering that the payment will reach the business after a few hours, I think this will also cause order deliveries to not be made.

When we think logically, we can also determine that the content here is fake. There is only one possible possibility that could have happened, as I just mentioned.
