We use cryptocurrency means, we have full control for our crypto and we will decide when we should sell or buy or hold or whatever we want. We become our own masters because we can manage it for our life. But unfortunately, right now, we can not do that because that will depend on the government regulations and they will not easily accept crypto because they can not fully control the crypto. But we have the power to control our crypto and as long as we can send our crypto to other people, we still are our own masters.
I think you misunderstood the question or maybe I misunderstood. I think the point made in OP was that, we see so many cryptocurrencies right now because people want to feel like the owner of the coin than the user of it. There are so many coins and nearly all of them serve the same purpose so why do we have them? I think one reason might be as discussed in OP that people want more power but the other basic reason is that people want more money and it's not possible to make the biggest amounts with other coins so everyone creates their own coin. People love bitcoin for the same reason, they feel like the rightful owner when they have a decentralized currency. The same feeling cannot be achieved from a centralized dollar or any fiat for that matter. Let's say I am misunderstood at this point. If that is so, maybe people want to have more money, and by having so many coins on the crypto, especially potential coins, they will have a chance to achieve their goals. Once they can achieve, they will feel become a master for their life. We created our cryptocurrency to become a master for our currency because if we can use our crypto, we are not dependent on the other third party such as the government, which always wants to control many things. But unfortunately, the government still involved in this matter, so the crypto needs them to approve crypto. We still become slaves because we can not use crypto to buy a product, service, or others without approval from the government. By the way, after doing a little research, I got a few pages about that quote: https://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1,2261692,2261741The quote is: As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy.
- Abraham Lincoln (Collected Works)
But there are more quotes from the other members. You can read it one by one. https://www.quora.com/Who-saidSlaves-dream-not-of-freedom-but-of-becoming-masters-The-quote-was-used-in-a-recent-episode-of-The-Bridge-the-Hulu-mystery-series-set-on-the-US-Mexico-border-Possibly-Thomas-Pynchon-from-Mason-and-DixonWhile in Quora: Who said"Slaves dream not of freedom, but of becoming masters." The quote was used in a recent episode of "The Bridge," the Hulu mystery series set on the US-Mexico border. Possibly Thomas Pynchon from Mason and Dixon?

I guess the pandemic is still the number one issue among the other issues because it happens in most countries. But poverty is an issue that every country needs to solve. The pandemic makes many people lost their jobs and hard to survive to live. If people can not solve their financial problems, it can increase the criminal's percentage in all countries. But I think the government will figure out the problem and search for the solution.
The point is to be ready for anything that can happen later and if you want to follow your government, you should concern with your health by vaccinated. We all will die tomorrow or someday, but we do not need to worry because we can rest in peace in our graveyard as long as we can live better.
This pandemic will end soon and we still need to survive and to struggle as you say. If we still search for how to survive, we will get that way and will have lived until the pandemic ends.

I'm doubting an exchange if they are closing withdrawal and transfer in a long time because that is the time that they can manipulate the market. Even this exchange is already last long in crypto market, i think right now there are a lot better exchange, just IMO
Although they do not close withdrawal and transfer, they can use maintenance for the wallet, which is a cliche. If they are really close to that, I think they will not really close it because almost all exchanges have Dogecoin pair usdt and btc and else, so they will not do that. Sometimes, this attracts greediness from gamblers become bigger because they see the gap price is too big and they see the chance to make a profit there. But then, after they do something, they realize something wrong happen and they can not do anything unless just waiting for more and hope that everything will be okay.

I think that ethereum can reach that price. in fact, we've seen the price of ethereum reached half of it when the bull run occurred. anyway, I quite believe that Vitalik will do his best to develop ethereum at this time. it will certainly have an effect in the future. enough coins want to drop ethereum, it will push ethereum even stronger.
$1000 is not a hard price for ETH, maybe many people at this point think that thinking is crazy when the market is getting worse. But what we should be looking at it is its potential and its importance, and I think if we were living in 2025 we would say it's an approximation. You miss one zero because @OP saying about $10,000, but you write $1,000 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Ethereum can increase to $10k, but breaking $5,000 will not easy as the highest price before still below $5,000. But if this year still has another bull run, it could trigger the price to reach $3,000 and so on. In the next 5 years, I can not imagine how high the ethereum price will increase because maybe the price will be more than $10k. My prediction for ethereum in the next 5 years will be at more than $7,500.

I want to know some information about bounty tokens here. What I want to know is - if a bounty sends me some of their tokens to wallet as payment, but the token is not an exchange list. I want to sell this token. ICO rate is given. In that case, can I exchange the token in the market? If there is any such information, I want to know. If there is, I want to learn the system. Give me information about this.
You can find out by asking for the manager or the teams to sell your token because they will give a list of the exchanges that already accepted their token. Usually, the token will list on one or two exchanges before the token gives to the bounty participant. After that, the bounty participant can sell their token by sending that token to the exchanges. But I see that some project is not listed their token soon after the bounty is ended because they need to prepare something before it listed on the exchanges.

As a friend then its up to us on doing our part and its just right that you would really be giving out some reminders about on the activity that they've been doing.Even though im not really that a fan of getting involved into someones business specially if its their money had been used.
But since you do show off some concern on your friend then its not really bad to take some try on giving out some advice and they might listen on what you had said.Addiction is something that cant really be easily get rid off.
When you do saw that your friend or even yourself is falling gradually into addiction then its better to be wise on taking some break on playing or get engaging with gambling.If you dont like to experience some possible unfortunate situations in your life then better quit or stop for a while.
If we can talk clearly and be honest with them about the risk of playing gambling, they will accept and follow our suggestion. If they are getting deeper from gambling, we need to pull them out from gambling with many things because we do not want to see our friends become addicted to gambling. We can tell many cases out there that they can face if they have a gambling addiction. Maybe I will ask him to follow me to travel to someplace or invite him to do something else because as a friend, at least, we know what they like, so we can use it to drag him out from gambling. Maybe asking for help from the other closest friends or family members will necessary to help him. It's hard to stay on their side and keep them reminding about their gambling habit if they don't listen to you at all. Sometimes these addicted friends get annoyed to us when we remind them, they tell us that it is their money that they are spending so we shouldn't interfere with their gambling. They don't hear and realized what we are saying to them when their habit gets worse so for me when this happens it is still better to consult a specialist to assist our friend to get out of his gambling addiction.
Mmm, it is. But that is what we should do when we see they're using a long time playing gambling. Even if they get addicted for a small, they will still listen to us because a friendship will give trust to each other. If they feel annoyed with us, that is normal because they want to play what they want, but we should always remind them not to get deep into playing gambling if that is a gambling game. It needs more effort from us to show them that we really care to them to listen to us, and I believe that they will listen and follow us because of our friendship.

we can not imagine if there will be many countries that will use bitcoin, of course it will make bitcoin a very attractive asset. if we saw yesterday that an elon musk can influence many traders, of course the power of the state will be greater, and it will be even greater if more countries follow elsalvador's footsteps
Maybe the bitcoin price will not too fluctuate at that time because bitcoin will get big support from the country, especially if a big country can accept bitcoin. There is no room for people like Elon to manipulate the price, especially to moves bitcoin but they can manipulate the low price coin because they have the resources to do that. Besides that, they already did that before so they will use different methods to move the market. Bitcoin itself will become stronger as many countries support and maybe bitcoin will be like gold in digital currency.

Many scenarios can happen after this pandemic ends. But if there a big war happens between a big country and the small countries can not survive, I think people will still try to survive even if they should die. Some of them will feel that it will better die because of war not to feel destruction everywhere.
We can not imagine what will happen if a big war happens because that will be worst than the second world war. After all, each big country will use its newest weapon to eliminate its enemy. Hopefully, every government in all countries can think about their people and discuss with the other government so the big war will not happen.

That makes sense if you say that China government want to stop people from investing in crypto and they want to prevent people from getting scam. Yes, that is happening in many countries and not just in China. People tend to invest in crypto because of the promising of making a big profit quickly. When they see the crypto price increase high and many new projects releases and give people a big profit, that makes many people out there just invest in crypto without research. Unfortunately, that is not a wise decision to invest in crypto without research. Still, the government or us can not stop them.
Maybe the Chinese government wants their people to use digital Yuan and understand how to use it before using crypto. When they invest in crypto, their people will have an introductory lesson on using crypto properly.
We can see that when crypto booming and start the rally, people out there amaze and even shock because they do not think that crypto can really be at the top price. So when China banned bitcoin and did not allow their people to use bitcoin, it is really impacted to bitcoin price. But I am sure that the bitcoin price will be back to the high price. But that is speculation because we never what is the reason of Chinese government ban bitcoin.

Not at all times. Remember the El Salvador news? The government there just went all-in and recognized Bitcoin as a legal tender. Pretty sure that there was a lot of adoption there that is why it was now recognized as a legal tender. Even if government decides to ban crypto, people still have the means to use VPNs to trade cryptos around the internet or even browse anonymously using Tor. P2P is worth mentioning as well. Do not let the government make you paranoid too much making Bitcoin "fall".
Dunno why my other replies here got moderated. El Salvador has an open mind accepting bitcoin and we appreciate it and hopefully, the other country will do the same as that country. I am sure that a lot of adoption and bitcoin will be recognized as legal tender. We can wait for which country will be the next El Salvador and follow that country. The government's decision can impact the bitcoin price because their people use bitcoin to make money. If their people know about the prohibition from their government, people will panic and save their money in exchange and get back to their country. But we need to wait for more.

So it seems, the effect almost the same as the other people from other countries. We need to be concerned about how we can increase immunity so that we can prevent the virus from attacking our body before and after we get vaccinated. I am sure if we can have a strong immune system, we do not have to worry about any virus. I heard that the vaccinated people can still spread the virus to others if they can not take care of their health because after they get the injection, their bodies will be weak. The other different viruses can also attack their body and if people around them do not have a good immune, they can get attacked.
The same set of lies are being propagated again and again. Taking a vaccine doesn't weaken your immune system. On the other hand, it strengthens the immune system so that it can fight various infections. Natural immunity is a good option against non lethal viruses such as the ones that cause common cold and flu. But the COVID virus is more lethal, and you can't depend on natural immunity. Even for healthy people, some of the new strains have a mortality rate of >10% without medical treatment. So you need to rethink about it. Yes, it strengthens the immune system in our body. But before we got a strong immune system, a new immune from the vaccine needs to introduce itself to the old immune system in our body and there should be an impact that can happen to our body because the type of each immune is different. Our body will react with an unknown immune. Maybe I can illustrate like this. We lived with 5 family members and we met a new friend and brought him to our house. If that person can introduce himself very well to other family members, all family members will welcome him. But if not, maybe one or more family members will have distances from him and need time before that person can blend with our family. So related to the vaccine, it will need time before it can blend to the old immunity on ourselves and it might get an impact to us such as fever, dizziness, sleepy, chills. But if everything is okay and we do not have comorbid, that vaccine can blend perfectly in our body and protect us from the virus.

Too much controversy and issues with Sinovac. Those irregularities also happened on other brands and during their early trials, it's expected to have some issues but as time is progressing, they are developing a much more good brand.
I was vaccinated fully with Sinovac just a few weeks ago as it was required to my office but it doesn't mean I will now trust my future to the vaccine. I didn't feel anything until now and even willing to undergo a yearly boost of the same vaccine.
Even you are vaccinated with Pfizer, Moderna, or any top brands over Sinovac, it depends on your body how to react to it.
I will say the same as you because as long as our body has a good immune system, that vaccine can help increase our immune to better. But no matter what the vaccine, after we got vaccinated, we still need to be careful because after vaccination, our body can get side effects that will be different from the other people. I am not yet vaccinated and still waiting for the queue that I do not know when they call. But what I heard from people who already vaccinated, some of them feel sleepy but there is no significant effect. Some of my friends say they do not believe in the vaccine and do not want to get the vaccine. But if I get called for vaccination, I will come to the hospital and am ready for that. After I am vaccinated, I will not go to the crowd for at least 2 weeks to make sure that I am okay. Quite a few side effects can occur such as elevated body temperature during the first few days of vaccination and besides such symptoms, the vaccinated site will also swell, these are the cases I see in my country. The effect and immunity are also not perfect and sometimes vaccinated people become the mediators of the spread, considering the conjecture associated with such news, it is risky to encourage individuals not to wear masks, wearing a mask can be uncomfortable in communication but it is our protection and awareness with others So it seems, the effect almost the same as the other people from other countries. We need to be concerned about how we can increase immunity so that we can prevent the virus from attacking our body before and after we get vaccinated. I am sure if we can have a strong immune system, we do not have to worry about any virus.

I will check the review from here because I do not believe in the review from other websites out there. If I can see good reviews from the members, I will try to test playing gambling. I would be like if that site has a faucet so I do not have to use my money just to check the game. The bonus will be the other side for me because I will get that bonus later if I decide to deposit some money. When I want to try a new casino, I look at the simple and easy to access every page and game and if I feel comfortable with the site, I can stay on that site and maybe play more in the next few days.

What are your thoughts? Do you think El Salvador will become the "Home of Bitcoin"? If not, why? Will other countries adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in the future? Or is it still too early to tell? Why do you think developed countries haven't done such a move yet? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It could be as El Salvador use bitcoin for legal tender and it could attract the other country will use bitcoin legally. Other countries will adopt bitcoin as a legal tender in the future and that will only a matter of time to see bitcoin will become legal in many countries. It is too early to know what other countries will do related to El Salvador and we should give them time to decide. The developed countries will follow El Salvador's moves, but maybe the pandemic will still be their priority to solve.

I think there.are a lot.of factors.that influence the fall of bitcoin, especially in addition to the many prohibitions from several countries that will more or less hinder the development of bitcoin price stability itself, plus public opinion which greatly influences its impact on bitcoin, we only I hope that a similar incident doesn't.happen again
The government can be one of the factors that influence bitcoin's fall, and we see that some countries already prohibit their people from using bitcoin. But that will not happen forever and as long as they can access the internet without a problem, they can invest in bitcoin. With all of those factors out there that impact the bitcoin price to go down, but you should remember that will only happen temporarily. It is better to calm down if you see the bad news and not do anything until the situation can back to normal.

With the growth of bitcoin today, I think that attracts people, men and women, to invest in bitcoin. We do not know how many men and women are out there since there is no exact number of women involved in crypto. I think the crypto user will not always tell that they use crypto, whether men or women. Maybe women are busy with their world and not paying attention to crypto. I am sure many women are involved in crypto without want to tell men.

The online casino market has now been of great interest, especially during the pandemic
Well, one of the proofs is the coming of new gambling websites on this very forum, running their campaigns, gigs, promotions to get more users. Almost every 3 months I guess, there's a new casino/gambling campaigns poofing in the services board. I noticed that one too. The pandemic is a good blessing for the existing online gambling websites before the pandemic, and also for those who have quickly throught that online transactions would become big during the community quarantines and lockdowns that prohibits people from going outside. I also noticed many more gambling website promotion and advertising going in for long term. The market competition on online gambling is really tight, and it seems that they're actually profiting a good amount of money. After this pandemic, gamblers will have more options to playing gambling. And if the land-based casino fully reopens, gamblers can go to that place while they have the other place to gamble if they do not want to visit any casino in their city. Online gambling and online business increase in this pandemic and attract people's attention to create a new business. People who have a lot of money can easily start their new online business, and they already launch a new gambling site to attract gamblers to test their site.

If I am not mistaken, you use WhatsApp to chat with the scammer. Hmm, I will not chat with them if they offer that such thing because that will end with the scam.
Nowadays, scammers can use many things and they can chat with you use an unknown number and offers interesting offers. Many new people do not know about this or even know that some of them are getting scams. You can block their numbers or report them.
