Bank is an establishment known for financial services but what they do these days is way more than that. And the things they do are both legal and illegal, still, they cover up under the guise of the legality that covers the sector.

Mind you, you forgot to add that;

1. They launder money.
2. They broker onshore and offshore deals (both legally and illegally).
3. They steal money from customers' accounts through double and unexplainable charges.
4. They blackmail their customers and steal the money of the faint in heart.
    And many more...

There is a lot that will always make me sceptical of banks.

Banking is also a business model and to be profitable in business they need tricks. You can't say they blackmail or steal customers' money. Just like when you sell to someone else, you buy $1 and sell $10, no one is saying you stole the customer's money. Because customers come to you by themselves, and so do all those, who need to use the bank. You voluntarily come and ask to use their services, they do not put a knife to your neck and force you to deposit money in the bank.

Bitcoin investors don't like banks, but there's no need to badmouth them too much as we are still using their services daily. How will you enter the market, and invest in bitcoin
You are getting this all wrong buddy, perhaps I should break them down for you. Mind you, these are not the main benefits but the ill-additional points I want people to know about banks. And since the 1&2 are simple enough to understand, let me bother myself only with 3&4.

3. They steal money from customers' accounts through double and unexplainable charges: It's not new that money disappears from people's bank accounts. It has happened to me and many people around me. At times, they have an explanation for it as like double charges or mistakes, and at times they do not have any excuse for it and refund the money back. What if I didn't take it up, and what about those that will just overlook it? There is more to that, I just gave those little examples.

Another example was my bank account which has been dormant for over 10 years. I just received an SMS from them that an ATM has been issued for me thereby charging me. On this same dormant account, I received regular deductions of money (little though) until they removed all the balance to almost zero. Banks are guilty of improper accountability to enrich themselves.

4. They blackmail their customers and steal the money of the faint in heart: This might be applicable to illegal inflow but banks do it. When they sense such inflow, some banks contact the custom for an explanation or take necessary action. Some customers will have to go by their terms maybe for the bank to take all and abandon the account or cut their share before withdrawals could be allowed to take place.

Banks are crooks...

Quote from: rojan
Leicester City vs Liverpool in the game between these two teams, Liverpool won the match by scoring 3 goals. C. Jones scored a goal in the first 33 minutes of the game. And the 2nd goal was scored in the 36th minute.  Jones scored 2 goals in this match.T.  Alexander-Arnold scored the 3rd goal in 71 minutes. Leicester City team players did not perform much in today's match. I thought Leicester City might score 1 goal but because of their poor play Leicester City lost today's match.

Congratulations to Liverpool for the massive opportunity they embraced to defeated Leicester city 3-0 to make their fans celebrate because they really displayed well through out the match. I think, Liverpool will take that 4th position from Manchester united in their next match because their coach will like to use this match strategy to play their next match to ensure they embrace three points from the match to be in a good position to try second position before the end of the tournament. Mohamed Salah gave three assist that produced three goals for Liverpool to embraced victory from Leicester city and to give their fans hope of more victory ahead.
The accolade is really pouring for Liverpool, they messed up months ago but their recent matches have vindicated them that they are back in their true form. Liverpool has been winning many games now unbeaten, I hope they could extend this to the end of the season. Their brilliant display has quickly bought them from the deep and might likely place them in the 3rd spot if both of Man U and Newcastle make a mistake.

The two clubs might not make this mistake by losing but it's likely that one of them might still make a mistake that will lift Liverpool to either 3rd or 4th place and make them qualify for the Champions League that people thought they couldn't qualify for.

I still believe that Leverkusen is actually going to finish in the top 6. They are chest behind in terms of goal difference. So it is very much achievable for them.
The relegation situation of this League is very interesting right now. It is still not sure who will stay. I believe Schalke might be able to actually get out of the relegation zone.
At the moment it looks like that Schalke will make the impossible , possible and that nobody would have expected a few weeks earlier that they get out of he relegation zone.
If they will keep staying in the first german league , respect of what they have done it and how it was going , for me they was already relegated to be honest.
Leverkusen also showed the last weeks a good playing and yeah sometimes you just have no luck and and a bad day as it was the last weekend with the draw.
I don't see it in your view, especially when luck is at work, and don't feel happy for Schalke and sorry for VfB Stuttgart yet. The two clubs could end up with relegation at the end of the season, it's early to decide now. I still understand VfB Stuttgart, though disappointing but it's Schalke that disappoints me the most, this is sad.

They are only leading VfB Stuttgart with a point, I don't know how this is not going to be luck that will help them, but that's if they deserve it.

Binance is a good choice if it fully operates in your country, you will be able to deposit and withdraw your money easily, and you can also trade with it.
Someone asks for help in choosing a wallet , why does Binance come up as a suggested wallet when everyone knows that this is an exchange (centralized  exchange for that And looking at the reasons for choosing them, let's avoid these suggestions  for the sake of convenience when it comes to ease of trading for other coins and the alike!

Let's advice our friends correctly especially when the notion of not your keys, not your wallet is being spread to allow users to have full control of their crypto assets!!
I simply don't know where this is coming from, nonetheless, you should think twice if you believe you can use me to collect cheap merit. You didn't guide the OP, all you could do is look for an excuse for what someone has perfectly advised, it's my opinion, share yours. Much advice has been shared and there were four extra options for the OP as suggested by me, all non-custodial wallets, so I don't know your headache, you should suggest yours and share value, not criticism. I can lecture you about wallets and exchanges if you want.

Binance is valuable to me and I used it alone for over 4 years before I have other wallets, plans vary, and the comfort and benefits it gives me till now others could not. As for the wallet, does my Bitcoin hang in the air when I send it to Binance? Meaning it has a wallet that holds it, right? It's you who needs learning and dynamism in thinking. Binance being an exchange doesn't mean it can't store your coin, it is multipurpose and I added it due to its advantage as the OP already heard about it.

What you could have reasonably said is that coins are risky on a custodial wallet regardless of being an exchange or not, which would have been constructive to an extent.

Despite how good the media was in making a concept or innovative idea known to the world the drawback of it is the spread of FUD news and the latest news I hate lately is how people ridiculously hype ChatGPT like it's the solution to every technical and non-technical activity.
Yes, there could be an AI that can be trained to end human online poker games but it's not developed and there's no way it will be developed since the government is planning to regulate the AI space.

We can't blame some people for overhyping the capabilities of ChatGPT, but who knows in the near future it will have more capabilities than we'll ever know.
This is why gambling sites should always be updated in terms of the developments of AI tech because it can easily ruin their business.
Though as of now, it is not yet alarming as the capability is still very limited but we can't just sit and relax on this matter.
They can do so much for an AI, so these developers are still continuously innovating so there's always possibility that they can mimic or surpass the intelligence of human gamblers.
Now it's you I would blame as you are joining them to underestimate the security, structure and principles behind the house, you can never beat them. It's clear that AIs are not wired to hack and attack a gambling site, this is why they will only work according to the information at their disposal, but there is no way this information will be able to bypass the codes of the house, the house will always win.

AIs are simply overrated by people, they can furnish you with so much information and try to act like a god, but they can't go against the law and will have to act also like human beings that coded it. This can only make the work of humans easier and faster but will never do more than what humans could possibly do in gambling.

Get clear knowledge before investing and also have in mind that good thing always comes after striving for it
I remember the first time I heard about bitcoin after it was introduced to me by a friend in have to look clearly into it is dedicated my time to it i other to understand the trade market also was another thing I have to look into although it is explained to me to be risky but I had in mind of bearing without risk that comes but today I have come to realize the reward of being patient and also given attention to what's new to you neglecting it difficulties at first

That's a great point. Before investing in anything, it's important to do your research and gain a clear understanding of what you're getting into. This will help you make informed decisions and minimize risks.
It's also important to remember that success usually doesn't come easy and may require hard work and patience. This applies not only to investing but also to other areas of life. By being persistent and dedicated, you can achieve your goals and reap the rewards of your efforts.

What you are saying is right and accurate, this is what should be done first before investing in a business opportunity. Because if we are only led by hype and sweet words, for sure the chances are high that we can lose the capital money that we will use or work hard for.

      It is really necessary to work hard for the things we want to achieve in life so that you can feel the true meaning of success in our life. Just don't give up and keep going until you reach your life goal.
Investment is good and is far better than saving. Also, Bitcoin investment is not so risky as far as I'm concerned, only that the person should understand where he is investing his money. For traders who want to make money with less risk, they should not try futures trading and margin products, they should just focus on holding their coin and they will be fine.

To do this correctly, a lot of education is needed, everything about Bitcoin investment must be known, and above all, good speculative skills must be understood. If all these are done, it's left for such a person to buy Bitcoin cheaply and sell it expensive. Meaning that viable entry and exit levels must be well understood.
4588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: May 15, 2023, 06:52:53 AM

Quote
Also, i have one question for everyone who wants to blame others for losses, were you forced to do gambling by anyone? If not, then how can you say that another person is responsible for your loss? And more importantly, in case you win, will you also make responsible another person for this?
you don't have to ask them because they even know nothing about how they lose because they are being blocked by the promises of wining things that istead them forever until they finally realized their mistakes .
someone who gambles with his friends and suddenly may feel hesitant not to continue betting and sometimes friends can be a factor in losing or losing in gambling. for example I bet at a gambling place with $ 100 and after that I hesitated to stop for a moment with the remaining $ 50 but my friend said come on, you will definitely win and subconsciously my mind was influenced and tried again to bet after that, I lost again and ran out of all the money.
from incidents like this blaming a friend in the right circumstances or circumstances is fine because indeed a friend sometimes gives motivation or bad words when gambling persuades to bet again and lose. maybe blaming a friend is just a form of rebound.
But still, it is our decision if we will continue to gamble or stop already. If you let yourself be influenced by your friend's advice then that's your fault since they didn't force you, the final decision depends on what you think is the best thing to do at that very moment. Believing you can possibly back what you lost if you spend your remaining funds are not a good behaviour when you gamble.

Thus, if you gamble be certain that you're doing it because no one influence or force you to do so. This way, you will not held others accountable incase you lose your money in gambling. Be mature enough to accept the outcome and move on because there's no good if you dwell in the past since it happened already.
But unfortunately, many people are influenced by our friend's advice and in the end, they gamble too, even though they know that gambling will not give them victory. But if that person has good self-control, he will not be easily influenced by his friends because he would rather end the gambling game than lose all his money. He could have used the money for other things than just gambling. But for this one, it is very rare because most people will follow the invitation of their friends.

We are responsible for the money and if we accept friends' invitations, we also have to have or know when we have to stop. Just let those who still want to play gambling because maybe they really don't care if the money runs out. We don't need to get into trouble losing money at the gambling table and should stay away from gambling before it's too late.
This happens often in gambling. Being encouraged to gamble by friends is a very common phenomenon. Many gamblers do not dare to take decisions on their own but when influenced by a friend they take part in gambling. There are some who blame their friends when they lose that bet. Many people try to understand the matter. A gambler can be easily influenced by others even if he doesn't want. When friends invite a gambler, rejecting invitation is a very difficult task that not everyone can do. But friends won't be harmed for winning or losing bets. For which a gambler will be responsible. So a gambler should give priority to his own decision.
The main thing is for everyone to have their minds, if the gambling friend is such that his life is enviable, then I can follow the advice, if not, there is nothing that will make me be influenced by a such friend. Gambling is not bad, still, it depends on how individual views it, nothing changes my position if perceived irresponsibly.

I also like to learn my thing by myself and do what I like the way I like it, so if a friend introduced an idea, it must align with mine before I give it a chance since it's my money, so it's my rule and my decision.
4589  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Spot trading or future trading which trading is best for beginers? on: May 15, 2023, 06:32:23 AM
Without mincing words, spot trading is better for beginners, they are still just been introduced to the world of trading and investment, so I implore them to take one step after the other. With spot trading, the trader is more or less investing their money, just like buying the asset and holding it, which poses a reduced level of risk compared to futures trading.

Future trading is just like traditional financial market trading, how many people have you seen that are successful through it? The risk of leveraged/margin products is always high and the chance of losing one's money totally is high too.
4590  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 2024 halving less than 1 year away on: May 14, 2023, 09:38:42 PM
Thanks for this speculation and reminder. First, I was unable to choose any option from the poll because none suits my understudies about halving. My option is that the main bull run would start about 1-.1.5 months before the halving and this is still subject to what you mean by the bull run.

Actually, a substantial bull run was predominant in the early months of this year, we might witness more of such still before 2024. In light of this, if it's a bull run that is attributed to halving, my early option stands, nonetheless, I will not do anything until my technical studies affirm it. I will never be a blind trader in the coming event no matter how real it promises.

By the way, this is to reference my standpoint towards that time and the event. However, if Bitcoin could reach below $20,000 any moment from now, I will start buying immediately regardless of what happens before or after halving.
4591  Economy / Speculation / Re: The bitcoin pump on March 12 on: May 14, 2023, 03:55:57 PM
March 12th is a date that will always be remembered, the increase in a day reached 22% and made the haters stop and could not do anything, they were silent because all efforts made to spread FUDs failed, and this also made many people cry because they sold cheap when the price is below $ 20k, if you are patient you can get 22% profit in a day.
I don't possibly see any haters here, Bitcoin pumped to a very good extent on that day, but the peak of this year is even a later date (14/04), so I don't really know what you are driving at. The pumping and dumping of Bitcoin like any other asset is certain as the market is always dynamic, every trader and investor would know this and they tend to utilize the opportunity rather than hating.

And one thing about all these price fluctuations is opportunities, that's for us to gain more if we know how to play our cards very well, not about pointing accusing fingers. What would you say if it dumps again? Because it might reach at least $20,000 if it can't breach a trendline resistance at $29276.

Man United who desperately needed three point after two defect in a role was able to bounce back and turn around things by thrashing wolves two goals to none this victory now leaves them in a superb position to achieve a place in the champion league next season

Manchester United want UCL very much and now they are trying to play according to it. I congratulate them on this. The players used the advantage of being the home team in the match played yesterday until the end. Even though I thought they would have a hard time against Wolves, they managed to keep the difference of points with Liverpool at 4 by getting a comfortable win.

Ten Hag lost many things during this season, they lose the Europa League against Sevilla while I was expecting to see them beating Sevilla normally also during this season Manchester United didn't have a good start and they lost many points but after Ronaldo left this team are were playing better than before, however, if they lose points they can lose the champions league ticket for the next season.
Are you suggesting that C. Ronaldo was their problem? I just don't like it when people relate what they should have avoided. C. Ronaldo was never the problem of Man U, the problem started long before him, he tried his best even with all the unnecessary bad treatment meted against his person. Problems don't get solved in a day, it's a gradual process, even the so-called coach enjoys what other coaches that left had contributed. C. Ronaldo is a great guy that meant well for Man U and has always been appreciated everywhere he goes.

Besides, a lot has not been missed by Man U, UCL and Europa would be qualified. They are now a threat to Newcastle, but I doubt if the table would still turn in their favour. I don't think the remaining clubs left to be faced this season could win Newcastle if they are serious.

Milan lost too, what is happening?

not it is time for Inter vs Sassuolo Shocked, do they will lose too?
How come Milan could lose against Spezia? I really can't stop thinking that they wasted that opportunity and lost, 2-0, without a single goal. Oh my, this is really disappointing. from this result, it is difficult for Milan to return to a higher position. Milan has a decent difference in points with Inter and Lazio. Hopefully they can get up again. Even though they were good enough to be in the semi-finals of the UCL even though they lost to Interm yesterday. But in Serie A, they are sometimes very inconsistent.

Inter won from Sassuolo 4-2. It's quaite big win enough.
In Serie A there are again some interesting matches from the teams that are supposed to win at all costs, namely Milan and Atalanta.
Milan still have the Champions League in reserve and if they win it or reach the final, the 4-6th place, which the team can take all will forget, but Atalanta fails in the end, two consecutive losing matches in the championship may prevent Atalanta to get into European competition because now Roma have as many points as Atalanta, but one game in reserve, so Roma chances to take fifth or sixth place have increased. 
Perish the idea that AC Milan can win the Champions League, that is almost totally impossible to me, they will excuse the game in this semi-final. How could anyhow say so when Man City and Real Madrid are still active in the game? I don't see AC Milan playing in the final, even the next Champions League is no more sure for them.

Besides, I think you should be talking about Roma now for the Europa Competition League, not Atalanta. The league will soon be over and Roma (currently holding the position) and Atalanta have the same points, this is in spite of Roma still having an outstanding match. I will only root for Roma here and I believe they deserve it.

Good to see Bayern Munich finally getting back to winning ways again after few consecutive loses at Thomas Tuchel's arrival including losing and getting eliminated from the Champions league quarter finals to Manchester City. Getting back their form at this crucial time of the season is a good one for them. This win tonight should give them a boost to fight for the league trophy in the remaining league games.
Munich won a big win. and that's exactly what they have to do now because Dortmund also got a convincing victory. both of them mutually collect points in the remaining matches this season. The race for the Bundesliga trophy seems to be getting more exciting, the fight may be like last season, there's only Munich and Dortmund. but the situation this season is different because Munich has not locked the title. so Dortmund still has a chance.
It's true that both Bayern and Dortmund were able to raise 3 points, their rivalry however continues until any of them makes a mistake that would be a decider for who will lift the trophy this season. Nonetheless, if I was told to make a constructive judgement on the better side in their last match, I would say that Bayern was more brilliant on the pitch yesterday, they made sure that Schalke did not score a single goal as they performed well in both the first and second half. This kind of performance is what I know Bayern Munich for until they started playing nonetheless.

On the other hand, Dortmund has a very good first half, but Monchengladbach gave them a good fight in the second half of the game.

Quote
Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill (SB) 7054 and SB 214 to protect the personal finances of Floridians from government overreach and woke corporate monitoring. SB 7054 prohibits the use of a federally adopted central bank digital currency (CBDC) by excluding it from the definition of money within Florida’s Uniform Commercial Code. Additionally, the bill prohibits foreign-issued CBDC to protect consumers against globalist efforts to adopt a worldwide digital currency...

“The government and large credit card companies should not have the power to shut off access to your hard-earned money because they disagree with your politics,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Biden’s Central Bank Digital Currency aims to increase government control over people’s finances, and we will not allow it. In Florida, we value personal freedom and won’t allow self-interested elites to chip away at our liberty.”
This is sad news for the people of Florida and a show of the overbearing nature of one man with such power. It annoys me when a single person just decides for the whole people simply because they climbed the mantle of power. Well, the CBDC initiative can't be perished due to the views and opinions of a selected few.

There are genuine concerns about the project truly, and it's the reason why the central government has been hesitant to push it through yet, but it's so ill of a state to be fast to label it an abomination. As time goes on, we will see as the situation unfolds.

And as to your last question, one thing in the US is that it does matter what the central law states at times, state laws might still be valid at times. In other words, they let each state decides what they want.

I thought Girona could make a surprise, but at now they are two score behind at there. Real Sociedad took the lead with a very good, they didn't waste any opportunity in scoring. Although this match is still long because we still have a second half, but Real Sociedad seems like they will be able to win, because 2-0 is a score that looks safe. Also they really dominated this match, but I still hope Girona can surprise in this match with a draw result because it will be more interesting if that happens.
The first half is over and the score is level at 2-2. It looks like Girona was able to prove its capacity against a team far above it and this is a pretty good result for Girona. In the second half we will see from one of these teams to secure victory by scoring 1 or 2 more goals, of course at this time Real Sociedad will be very pressured with the same level, for Girona this is an opportunity for them to turn things around in the second half later and steal 3 points away from Real Sociedad. Let's wait and see who will win this match, considering the chance to win is 50:50.
A very interesting match in this match because Girona is really very good when facing a club that is actually above them in terms of performance.
after being left behind by 2 goals they were even more challenged and they did 2 direct reply goals within 10 minutes.
Even though there were no additional goals in the second half, looking at the game they actually played very well because they kept trying to create opportunities and this was really interesting.
1 point is still good enough for both of them even though this broke the wins of the previous matches for Girona and Sociedad but still 1 point is still very decent for them if you look at the game they did in this match.
The 1 point is still good for Real Sociedad, but not for Girona FC as Real Sociedad gaps the closest rival (Villarreal) with wide points and it's impossible that they can be displaced from the fourth and enviable position till the season is over. But for Girona FC, at least three clubs could still displace them from their current level if care is not taken. Their points difference is too close, so I believe that they needed that match more.

However, they did well today as they were able to equalize without pressure, the professionalism was seen and were able to keep it at the draw even after Oriol Romeu was handed a red card.
4597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 13, 2023, 08:40:56 AM
Man United played inconsistently. they sometimes play very well but sometimes play unexpectedly surprising. if they can be consistent, they can compete with other strong teams like Arsenal and City. but unfortunately, this season has had too many problems at Man United.
even to be in the top 4 of the standings and secure a Champions League ticket, I think Man United still has to fight hard against pressure from Liverpool, who at the end of this season seemed to get a strong boost with improved performances.
not only inconsistent, but Man United often makes mistakes or carelessness that makes their own team lose, as happened a few weeks ago. to be honest, even though Man United will improve and be consistent, I'm not sure if they will be able to compete with Arsenal or Man City, while MU may not be able to face Liverpool, who are currently in a very strong state.
on the other hand what we have to see is Liverpool's consistent strength that can bring this team to take 4th position.

Maybe you are right about Manchester United inconsistency and I agree with it but today they have a golden chance at home against Wolves and I highly doubt they are going to lose this chance and not win this game.I have not seen the odds but if they are good enough then I am going to place it as my bet of the day for this Saturday.

Other interesting game is Chelsea vs Nottingham and in here also if the odd is good enough for Chelsea I am betting on them too or maybe I parlay both teams in one ticket as I feel confident that Chelsea is going to win this game today.
If I were the one, I would shout the praise of Man U minimally, this is actually my club but I'm not just impressed with their performances in recent months. There were times when they believed Erik Ten Hag was the saviour, but I told them that, look, this guy was just lucky, he benefitted from the building of the successive coaches. This later becomes a reality, he tries his best though, but not spectacularly as many thought. Let's see how next season would be, that's when I might shout someone's praise or not.

As for Chelsea vs Nottingham, I won't just waste my money on the match, it's too difficult to sensibly predict the winner. Chelsea is certainly not a sure club to bet on, they might disappoint you. Good luck!

Köln : Hertha BSC Berlin 5:2

bye bye hertha bsc . hertha bsc berlin lost today the important game in cologne with 5: 2 and is still last of the 1.bundesliga.
if no miracle happens hertha bsc will play next season in the 2.bundesliga . millions of euros does not automatically make a good team .
because that's exactly what happened in berlin. again a big city with a huge stadium disappears into the 2.bundesliga.
there will be hard times for hertha. we'll see how stuttgart,bochum and schalke present themselves this weekend.
who will be the second team to be relegated directly?
It's getting harder now for Hertha to stay in the top flight in the bundesliga and with this defeat they are sinking even further.
It's quite a shame even though they were very convincing, especially after they were able to turn things around but that didn't last long because Koln again showered them with 4 goals.
Right now it's just a miracle they can get away with it because with 2 matches left it's obviously very difficult.
Relegation is calling Hertha gradually, they deserve it as their performance this season is very poor. But contrary to how you make it feel, I didn't expect them to have a say on the pitch yesterday against Koln, the club is better than them. Scoring 2 goals by Hertha is a good achievement for them, I didn't expect them to score more than once. Koln has improved in their last 5 matches, they only lost one, drew one and won three.

But Hertha has lost 4 and won 1 which can't take them anywhere. More losses await them because they are to face better clubs in their two remaining matches this season, and I don't know how they will beat Bayern and Werder.

First, the Bitcoin network is not under any attack, the issue that happened was due to Ordinals and the creation of BRC-20. And it's worth noting that Satoshi did a brilliant job with Bitcoin and its blockchain technology, but it's sure to note that he was not perfect with it. Not him, his work and the decision to just leave everything is perfect.

I come to this conclusion because if he or they are still alive, they would have been yearning for an upgrade in the network. As professionals, they must have discovered a lot of errors and how they will fix them. But with the approach they use by abandoning the network, it's almost impossible to do unless they are just contributing their ideas like any other person.

Editor’s note: This story is part of Mariblock’s “State of Fiat” coverage. Digital assets such as bitcoin are seen as competitors to central bank money. We consider it worthwhile to inform our audience of the state of their local currencies.
Policymakers across the continent scramble to implement measures to combat the spiraling inflation, including introducing gold-backed digital tokens and hiking interest rates.
Africa is taking the backseat in the world's economy, their leaders are corrupt and are ineffective in positive policy making. Although there is global inflation, the aforementioned issues would surely aggravate the woes of inflation in the continent.

That said, it's also good to know that working to improve the internal economy is the solution to economic woes and inflation, not Bitcoin or Gold-backed digital tokens. Everyone is looking at ways to bypass the economics of the world but it doesn't work that way. Imagine all countries are now spending Bitcoin and Gold-backed tokens instead of their local currency, how would they know their worth with inflow and outflow?

The suggestion is only good for investment and investment can only be embraced by some sectional people which still does not solve the issue.
