What makes us think that Bitcoin can't have more than one purposes? It can be used as a payment method when possible since it provides seamless and decentralized payments and it can also be used as an investment asset since it is volatile and can provide significant profits on investments.

For me the entrance of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) into the market will not be in favour of Bitcoin as the very essence of such initiative will be to weaken Bitcoin.  I know the governments will do all they can to provide something that will look like Bitcoin, something they can control because they know that digital money has come to stay. Unfortunately, they will fail at achieving a digital currency that will challenge Bitcoin.

My country launched E-Naira but it failed because people never paid them any attention as there was practically no need for it. I know many governements in the world are also working on something like that but I'm confident Bitcoin will prevail.

In recent times, many have withdrawn their bank deposits and transferred them to Bitcoin to escape the effects of inflation. Those who want to invest not only for temporary gain but also for long term permanent wealth should know about Bitcoin and then he can invest. Bitcoin investment also has risks, but if the risks and opportunities are carefully monitored and long-term investment is made, then an investor can be successful in Bitcoin. But the point is that both Bitcoin and Banks convery the importance in different ways. So bank should not consider bitcoin as an enemy.

@DanWalker. The skeptical me is starting to speculate that if the rumors of Sam being only a frontman to a moneylaundering scheme for the powerful people of the Democratic party, would it not be safer for him to be in prison to avoid assasination?

He might know much sensitive information and this might also be why he will never plead guilty because this opens his case to more divulging of information and also possibly to be under a protection program. It might be better for Sam's life to be sentenced guilty for fraud instead of admitting that he is guilty and look for a settlement.

I quite like what the prosecutor is doing at the moment especially the argument that the judge said was correct where when the SBF lawyer's excuse that it was difficult for him to make a defence with limited time was actually well refuted by the argument given by the prosecutor because SBF before August had a very large amount of time and it should be enough for them to prepare a defence in the trial.
There were some victories such as him being allowed to wear formal clothes instead of prisoner's clothes but I don't think it will last long because he is more suitable to wear prisoner's clothes than formal clothes with a neat suit

Poor people don't need Bitcoin.

People are more inclined towards Bitcoin than Banks because once Bitcoin enters the world it will never support Banks.  It's never been possible to benefit as much as I have from using Bitcoin and from using a bank.  It is never possible to build a large portfolio by keeping money in the bank, but it is certainly possible to build large funds using Bitcoin.

Valencia - Sociedad game of the night for me and I do hope for a both teams to score in 1st half because both teams like to attack in this season and honestly, both Sociedad and Valencia are producing a great football in my opinion.

Meanwhile, kinda surprised to see Villareal losing on home soil as they are really a solid team but somehow Girona managed to score 2 goals and secure 3 mega points...

IMO, AC Milan cannot lose against Cagliari. If AC Milan loses points from this match, it might slowly affect Milan's performance. The 1 - 0 win against Verona was not a satisfactory result. This proves that AC Milan's attack power is still not optimal. This would be very risky if Milan met a big team. For example, on the next matchday after vs Cagliari, Milan will meet Lazio. In this match, there is a possibility that Milan will lose or draw. If Milan still wants to compete with Inter, then there is no reason for Milan to lose or draw because so far Inter Milan still no counter.

Well yes it is something I think about. That history will not repeat itself. But we can not think that the 'bull season will not happen again.

I think most of us are 'bullish'. I agree how you say it is not so easy to predict but I have been hodling for a long time and I will keep doing that.

Actually Juventus would have won the match except for their mistakes which cost them the match. They made several mistakes from the first half to the second and couldn't make up for it before it became late, sasuolo was actually brilliant enough to make use of every of this opportunity that disguised as mistake because they know if they don't make use of the opportunity Juventus was not going to let them win.

In their next game against Lecce I'm very optimistic Juventus will not allow that which happened between them and sasuolo repeat itself as they need that win to climb up the table. It was only mistakes that cost them that game which I'm sure to a great extent Juventus will not make such mistakes again as they will improve to make sure they win.

The last game Lecce played was against Genoa where they won by one goal (1-0) the did well in that match but I still don't see them matching up with Juventus except they will only try to make it not a very easy win for Juventus but they will be at disadvantage as Juventus is hosting so the will definitely have that home advantage and would not want to suffer a second loss at home.

Well I think we are all hoping this is going to happen. For the next halving next year to reward us with big gains and profit for those who still hodl.

I do think for the past halvings this is what we had happen. And we can can then expect the price of all crypto, not just for Bitcoin to rise. 

This, pretty much. Its bit too late to hit anything above 30-35k in Bitcoin. We are too much into bear market. Normally there would be reaction to dumps if we were going down from 60k to 40k etc But we are going down even from 30k levels to 20ks. Its best to spend this year accumulating Bitcoin at lowest prices we can ever hit. I would honestly buy a lot Bitcoin from 22-23k levels. I believe it will hit 80k at least in next bull run.

of course, there were many people who were disappointed with this match, expecting Juventus to win on their bets which ended up losing. yesterday I saw the instability in Juventus performance. I did not add this team to my betting slip because I know that even though Sassuolo is not a strong team, when they appear at home their defense becomes stronger and difficult to break down, so its natural that Juventus loses this match.

If we all watch the match as it progresses we can certainly see how several opportunities were wasted. I mean, several times Juventus attacking players got the opportunity but failed to take advantage of the opportunity without being on target so they lost because they were too hasty to shoot the ball towards Sassuolo.

Burnley dominated possession of the ball in the first half, they also managed to create several opportunities but have so far failed to score. Bruno Fernandes scored in the 45th minute to end the first half with a win, but I think Burnley could have scored too if their performance had improved in the second half.

I think this match will end in a 1-1 draw if Burnley manages to score a goal in the second half, but of course it is true that Manchester United is favored in this match instead of the home team. Of course it would be interesting to know the final result.

First I would want to state that the possibility of a player winning a trophy is not all about his personal ability alone, his team mates also have a huge role to play as if he is a good player but in a very weak team that isn't helping his play style it's very possible he won't get to win the desired trophy nevertheless I'm not undermining the fact that the influence of a single good player can be a game changer but the team as well has a role to play.

It will be easier for Bayern Munich to win the German bundesliga than it would for them to win the champions league as the pressure in champions league is way bigger as compared to that which they may have to face in the bundesliga, champions league as the name implies is the league of champions from various league across Europe and it's the dream of almost every European team.

Harry Kane I don't think would have done bad in Manchester united as there he will have the enabling environment to win trophies most probably he could have been that one with the effect Manchester united needed to improve and be better but then the German side was not a bad option either they both have the platform for him to still get more trophies to his name.

Winning any trophy is something that man Harry Kane is really after at the moment, the German league is like a free cake for the Bayern Munich side and I'm not to sure if those teams that are acting as if they can complete the struggle till the end that they're capable, they're not equal to the task until it is done, so for now Bayern Munich are still going to win the title this season.
We shouldn't see Harry Kane as the problem of his problem if you know what I mean by that, he has always done all a good striker have to do to get a trophy that's back with Spurs and to me, now that he plays for the Barbarians a title is sure and he doesn't need to do much.

I believe this is still directed to the time of the bull run, and I'm sure that people would be affected by FOMO and some afterwards bearish threats which might make them panic and want to sell after some initial gains. It's easier said than done for many hodlers to wait for Bitcoin to effectuate the bull run completely. The reason is simple, it's due to the dynamism of the market mixed with its uncertainty. For this, people's emotions might be able to carry it and many would not want to lose the money they had already gained, it's until the time comes before you fully understand this, especially if you've not benefited from the initial bull run or inexperienced about trader's psychology in line with the market.

As for me, I would rather not say I will not sell at any time, I will only let my technical chart guide me.

3. I don't see bitcoin as an investment, but as an opportunity to change the world order and to achieve a financial world which will be more liberal, without central banks and authorities.
 

Bayern Leverkusen molested Hacken to a 4-0 defeat in their first Europa league game few days back, I didn't expect any less from Leverkusen as they stood a better chance over Hacken in that game both from the first half to the end of the game Leverkusen owned the game, I was impressed with their performance as anything less would sound disappointing to me.

Hacken didn't give Leverkusen a tough time winning the game, they sure made it easy for Leverkusen, although they tried their best as some level of pressure could be seen from them at the later minutes of the first half but then Leverkusen still gained control and brought the pressure down. They almost got a penalty but VAR check confirmed it wasn't.

Leverkusen's last and forth goal came in 20 minutes to the end of the second half which sealed the victory for the German side as against Hacken, Leverkusen have this game as their sixth unbeaten game this season both in the bundesliga and Europa league. Boniface had a further goal ruled out for offside after which he showed some good performance in the game

Yes indeed, playing at Bayern Munich will at least make Kane have a very big chance to get a trophy and many title later. Perhaps also, Kane will get the title of best player or maybe also the top scorer in the Bundesliga this season, who knows. If that happens, then of course it is a very great success that Kane will get with Bayern Munich in the first season. Moreover, if Bayern Munich can continue to advance to the final match in the Champions League, then Kane will quickly feel a big moment in his football career with Bayern Munich, at least it is also a big hopes for Kane.
