As far as I know my country found me using bitcoin. So if they became interested to know what the technology is all about and they found it not to be a contributor to it's revenue or whatever reasons and banned it. Tbh I wouldn't stop using it because the benefits outweigh the risks, hence I choose to go for risk.

Easy!

For starters most crypto exchanges have a certain limit you an exchange without kyc so you use this to your advantage to get another coin maybe a stable coin for your exchange method...meaning you will be doing this in small chunks, it's a lengthy process but it will get the job done and you can use tumblers aka mixers too to get cleaner coins and selling them for fiat.

It might be the loophole as no one person is really responsible for running a dex and no requirements for licenses makes it ideal for cryptos survival.

Let's give it to them,they still believe in some anonymity and it's users need this to some degree,it's all in the spirit of being a cryptonian.

I like there strategy, the "Tom and Jerry " strategy if I may call it and it should be the only way to buy time and stay clear from further damage by the powers be.

As long as all these meme coins are built on top of dogecoins success, I don't see these getting bigger than dogecoin itself.

But I must admit,  the shiba inu coin project is a real threat as its the next big coin to doge in this niche....I suppose that's the reason these guys wanted to start a Twitter war with the other meme project...and that's why I nominate doge and Shiba to survive the longest.

I see several familiar faces like mr_ROBOTT, so98nn, crytolord2077, lucifur and many others great to see we made the cut guys

Am just hoping we get a new campaign any time soon and thanks team Roobet and Hhampuz .

It's been a rocky spell for bitcoin in spite gaining some wins earlier on during the year....now China has really hit were it hurts the most and this has led to reduced mining activities which isn't good.

But look on the bright side the news of reduced mining difficulty could turn out bullish as new entrants will want to get into the mining business which should see prices going up too.

The Bitcoin blockchain has undergone its biggest ever drop in mining difficulty, as the network’s automatic stabilizing mechanism kicked in following a strict crackdown by China on the country’s cryptocurrency industry.

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty plunged by nearly 28% at block 689,471 at 6:25 UTC.

The adjustment marks the third straight decline in mining difficulty, the first time such a trend has happened since December 2018. On May 29 and June 13, the mining difficulty dropped by 16% and 5%, respectively, according to mining service provider BTC.com.  

What is Bitcoin mining difficulty?
Bitcoin’s difficulty is measured using an internal score that began at 1 (when Satoshi started mining at the easiest level). It is programmed to increase or decrease incrementally depending on how many miners are competing on the network. It is currently scored at 14,363,025,673,659, down from 19,932,791,027,262.

Blocks are added to the Bitcoin blockchain at a regular and predictable rate: 1 block every 10 minutes or so. Block time measures how long it takes to create a new block, but that pace can vary, depending on the number of miners on the network and the speed of their computers. When there are more miners competing to “find” the next block, and earn the 6.125 BTC reward, then those blocks tend to be solved more quickly. However, when miners drop off the network, leaving fewer miners to compete, block times can slow down.

Art has never been my area of interest which automatically puts  NFTs off my bucket list. Am certain there is some good in them but tbh these just ain't for me.

And because this is something that came like the crypto kitties game this kind of reminds of it and there is some similarities too, so am staying far away as possible.

Back in the day I did follow a couple of crypto influencers(not mentioning names   ) but to be honest these guys once paid could mislead the masses which is why am nolonger a fan of them, tbh am better off alone....besides I have the forum to get some insights on most of these coins. So do I still need crypto influencers...no!!

As much as the prices for bitcoin or Ethereum might look intimidating when compared to other altcoins, they still hold a lot of potential to go up  especially that we are ~40% down the all time high, that means we have 40% to gain when you buy the dip now .

Btw other alts suggested might be a cheap option but the potential could be more than our top coins if they offer more than just a store of value.

Bitcoin is bigger than China,  it's revolutionary and it has already written the history books. What China is doing is just slowing the money revolution, otherwise China will be on the wrong side of history when the time comes.

And no China won't kill bitcoin , miners are found all around the world and those based in China are leaving for places with a conducive environment.

Did anyone get on the correct score of 2-1 for any of the games I think these were kind of predictable....

Correction Romelu Lukaku scored for Belgium and not Germany

Btw today's games weren't as dramatic as the previous games and favorites have delivered which makes the next round of games hard to predict, but I have a good feeling about Italy pulling something this off of this tournament because they have transformed their play style from the usual defensive type, todays Italy team is more attack minded which is a good sign.

If a country has laid out some laws to ban crypto I don't think you can get away with the freedom of speech ticket. But then again it all depends on how serious they treat crypto usage, by the way it's one thing to use it and another to talk about,so it all depends.

Btw Crypto started from the shadows and grew were it is today,so freedom of speech shouldn't be a problem, you can express yourself while being behind your keyboard.

I must admit,  Switzerland really did a good job playing with a man down against Spain and taking the game all the way to penalties **which was the only way** has given them an equal chance to proceed to the next stage.

We all know penalties are 50/50 but I have a feeling the Swiss will carry the day...watch this space

Daniil Medvedev vs Martin Cilic  (Saturday)

a) 33  b)  3:08

Traders will agree with me, patterns are always there if you looking at a chart but you need to know that they will not always work in your favor because other factors are at play, for example news, government legislation,  market manipulation and many others.

If it were super easy to read patterns, these markets would have collapsed by now, so a little bit of manipulation here and there makes them liquid.

Bridging cryptocurrency with sport can be done in so many ways,  we need more sportsbooks sponsoring more teams or doing this has part of their cooperate responsibility....I have seen cloudbet do it and it would be nice to see more coming on board.

Another option could be paying athletes or should I say sports men and women in crypto and this could carry on and crypto will be on high demand.

Casinos and sportsbooks with kyc should try to find a work around to remove kyc this could make them popular unlike what happens when most claim to be kyc free but hit you with an AML check when you deposit a high amount.

Jose Mourinho makes Roma announcement with Arsenal set to receive £17m transfer windfall

The Gunners midfielder looks set to depart for AS Roma soon, with the Italian side said to be closing in on a move for the former Arsenal captain in the summer window
Jose Mourinho is en route to begin his journey with AS Roma and this could be great news for Arsenal.

Despite being sacked by the Gunners' north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in April, it hasn't taken the Portuguese tactician long to find a new club as he's returned to Italy a decade on from leaving Inter Milan.

And one of his first transfer targets as Roma head coach is Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka.

Am not a pro trader or anything,  but markets pay both buyers and sellers and from this you can see that there is a 3 block move to the upwards which means it won't stay long at that price of $350k as it has to go 3 steps downwards too.

But on the realistic side of things this is way too bullish of a market, who will be pumping these markets with the current problems our markets are facing and the pandemic doesn't look like it will be over any time soon?

I hope this will be the simplest explanation 

"Faces Resistance Near $40K" means the market has more sellers than buyers at this zone and when ever buyers try to push price up...all what is happening is sellers getting out of the market by getting those buy orders.

So what needs to happen to break this zone is having more buyers than sellers and market psychology will change as people who were selling will now be buying creating a support zone.
