I think it will be more of a function of a CDBC nd if my memory serves me right, Maduro's Petro evolved into this, as he allowed government services to be paid with government back up coins. However, I don't know if crypto, bitcoin in particular will be utilize by government. It will be too much of a hassle for them and they don't want them to be a crypto holder. Unless the country is really pro bitcoin, it will have a lot of disadvantage of them. So it's going to be CDBC and not our dear crypto.

Yeah, saw pics of Harden in a private party and my initial thought is that this is not good. So the NBA has found out, fine $50 because of that irresponsibility. It's just the beginning of the season and it's seem that Harden has started in the wrong foot here. The pandemic is not over, even if it Christmas holiday, everyone should follow safety protocols, specially a high level athlete like him shouldn't be seen like this. I'm not sure though if he had issue a public apology for his act.

Yeah, I think everyone is in the jolly mood this Christmas because it been a continues pump since last week, a super rally that we didn't expect (at least in my case). So let's just celebrate this holiday and share our blessings to other who are in need. And we have to thank bitcoin for that, eventhough in the beginning it was really a tough year specially with the Covid-19 in March, at least we are going to end the year with a new all time high. Merry Christmas to everyone, whichever part of the world you are. 

Yeah, but not everyone is built for bitcoin trading, because will likely loss if they know how to trade in the first place that's why the whole HODL mentality steam from. And those who are selling are the weak hands, they shouldn't be buying bitcoin in the first place or at least didn't know the ups and downs of the market and will simply be pressured to push the sell button if bitcoin price suddenly went on a flash crash. But there could be newbies learning from their mistakes so from weak hands -> strong hands in the future and not going to sell unless there is a needed circumstance, like bringing food for their love ones.

There are issue with Ripple right now, I check it today a 25% decline in the last 7 days? What gives?

So I don't know if Ripple investors are shifting to bitcoin, or the king is still unstoppable at this point and investors are really targeting that big $25k before the end of this year. Why not though, we all know that the market moves in a positive direction when everyone is still in FOMO season.

Well if you don't need the fiat equivalent of your BTC then why sell it today? It just make things complicated when you need fiat in this holiday so you are torn between selling them to enjoy the Christmas season with your family and buying gifts or just HODL till next year and make more money (assuming that bitcoin will go on another massive run 2021).

So it's really up to you, weigh in the situation right now, and make sure to make the right decision.

I don't think that it has to do with the Covid 2.0 in UK. Market is due to correction anyway, at least Sunday in my time and people are just taking profits for the holiday season. No need to connect the dots for every negative news we've hear or seen on the news about the pandemic and relate it to bitcoin market.

Market has matured already, and if we are in a bull run that we have seen in the past days, doesn't matter if there is negative news, the greed factor and FOMO will just take over. And since it gradually slowing down, as obviously, people are just selling for profits.

Yeah, this is a good option to add, not priority but a nice to have to be included later. It is very important for us to prove that you own the private keys, as the saying goes, 'not your keys, not your coins'. Although there's a lot of site that we can use to verify message, but having this on bitamp is a win-win situation for your users.

The problem with Doge is that there are no development from behind, the only reason why it has existed till now is that it is a prime mover in crypto, become a meme coin, have it moments during bull run. And then gamblers love them as alternative like LTC, specially that ETH and BTC's fees are increasing.

Hard to give financial advise here, but If I'm in your shoes, I will dump it long time ago and switch to BTC or LTC. Goodluck in your decision.

Doesn't make any difference at all to be honest.

All time high (ATH) is not only being used in bitcoin or crypto though, this term has been in existence in traditional markets as well. So we just apply in to crypto without getting into an argument about this semantics and whatnot. We shouldn't get things complicated there, stick to the basics and all will be fine. If you prefer High to date, then that is good as well.

I think the ball is on the side of Canelo here, he is the A-side now, so he dictates which fighter he wants to fight next, if he said he wants GGG then it will happen. Money could be one reason, but a proud Mexican like Canelo has pride as well. He already thinks the beat GGG fair and square so there's nothing to prove anymore.

Most like in the top 10, and relatively unknown fighters.

Yeah, it could be but I don't see any issues with that though, bitcoin has and will be used in dark web, we all that and other illegal stuff. But it doesn't mean that bitcoin doesn't are design solely for this purpose. As for the news, of course, we take this as positive. Because the sex industry is a tight knit, and so with Pornhub now accepting bitcoin, it will bring awareness and possible investors for us, win-win situation so I would say that this is a very welcoming news for bitcoin.

I would say though that it is much easier for crypto related companies to open a bank account because the financial systems are more open and friendly, as compare to let say in 2017 wherein we heard a lot of companies bitching around because the banks closes their account because they are a crypto companies. Now even banks are into crypto and blockchain.

Of course, the simply and preferred way is to headquarter your company to safe haven countries as to can also take advantage of lax law specially as far as taxes go.

Agree, the revolution has just began and there is no stopping moving forward.

It's good that you ask the community before trusting that site.

Because it really smells like a scam for the beginning, the design of the site and how it age in less than a year? And I'm not really sure if EOS is making an airdrop though. So if you want to know about any airdrop or the latest about EOS you better follow them on their official social media sites, like Twitter.

But in paper they really show that Szeremeta has a fighting chance because Golovkin is getting older. But we didn't see any sign on Golovkin slowing down or something. For me it is still the same Golovkin that can break anyone at 160-168 lbs not name Canelo Alvarez.

As for Szeremeta, this is a good experience for him, maybe he can bounce back in his next fight in EU, but in world stage, he need more tools to go with the top fighters in US.

It's inevitable though, if the market decided to go south and make a 35% corrections as others are pointing it, then we couldn't stop it. Big crashes is also part of bitcoin's history, but what's important is how it's going to recover after that. We have seen worst corrections, but bitcoin is very resilient so it's possible that we can see $15k again, or revisited $18k.

It will be a total reset, but we have full 12 months next year to bounce back to $30k or even more.

Or we are in market where investors have mature enough not to buy the hype anymore and instead invest on prime movers such as bitcoin, ethereum or even xrp (although it has been dump after the fork).

But currently, xrp has a good bounce I would say but not comparable to bitcoin wherein it achieved high as $23,500 while xrp has a hard time getting into the $1.0 price. So it's a long way to go for xrp to even reach it's previous high.

No one really thought that we are going to break 2017's all time high this year so just prepared for the best or worst. $30k now is the conservative estimates, and I'm not surprised if $50k is the absolute top next year or even more.

So let's wait and see, I'm sure majority are super excited because this might the 2017, a super rally that will push the price and start to build the bubble.

Yup, this is more on Cashapp though and not bitcoin. But as the saying goes, any publicity is good for bitcoin. And this is not the first time that we have seen this, 2017 was also the time when we see a lot of celebrities jumping on bitcoin and other crypto, specially those ICO's that turns out to be a scam.

This is the financial side of bitcoin, I do hope though that this time, newbie investors will do their due diligence and not be irrational like 2017.

It's a nice to haves to see Giannis shooting three, I'm not saying that we should expect him to shoot 3's every game, but at least added that to his arsenal. The key here is for Giannis to be unpredictable, yes he is a power forward and needs to penetrate the paint to score. But if you are going to look at the last 2 playoffs that they were eliminate, specially against the Raptors, he was too predictable that's why the Raptors was able to closed him out.
