Yes, bitcoin was initially created as a payment method that could work without a 3rd party. But nowadays, people are considering and using bitcoin as an investment, they are less concerned with the function and utility of bitcoin but only interested in profit and convenience for them. And CEX provides all the services that investors need in the most convenient way.
Moreover, the market is not only bitcoin, but we also have altcoins, and if you want to invest, buy, sell, and trade altcoins, you must go with CEX. It can be said that it plays an important role in the market whether you use it or not because people still need it.
... Centralization and decentralization will exist together for a long time to come. Since bitcoin was created, more people started to pay more attention to decentralization and privacy. But what I fear more is that governments won't leave us alone if most of us look to decentralization and ignore their centralized services. They are drafting regulations, and regulations will be a huge barrier for us. I am afraid they will squeeze everything and find a way to destroy our privacy even if we use bitcoin to evade them. I don't know what measures they will use to control us, many say they will use centralized exchanges, but that is only part of it, they will have many more. |

In addition to that, I encourage your friend to invest only 30% of his capital in Bitcoin and 20% in Ethereum due to it is perilous to put all your money in digital currencies despite the profit in these best ones is kinda guaranteed. However, everything is expected to happen in crypto era. It would be better if we be prepared for all scenarios.
Regarding altcoins, ETH is the best investment, but since he has lost a lot with altcoins before, I don't think OP should recommend altcoins even though ETH is good to invest in. As you said, any scenario can happen, especially with altcoins there is no guarantee ETH will not crash as it is still a centralized altcoin. Moreover, putting money in ETH will not reduce your risk anymore because once bitcoin crashes, the entire crypto market is inevitable. But in the end, it's still better for him to decide than to force or give advice at our disposal. |

Manchester City is doing great in the Premier League. The Arsenal team has drawn some matches which has adversely affected their points table. If Manchester City wins the next matches, they will have a great fight to go to the top of the points table.
Man City has a chance to take first place from Arsenal because they have 2 games less than Arsenal. If they can win both of these matches, then they will have 76 points, which means that they are 1 point ahead of Arsenal. The match against Arsenal will also be a crucial match. To keep their chances, at least Man City must not lose to Arsenal. Manchester City is now more advantageous than Arsenal in securing the the league title. Two outstanding matches means 6 points in view and automatic 1 point difference ahead of Arsenal. This game between both teams should matter so much to Arsenal if they must take the trophy the have laboured so hard for since the start of the season. Has it stand Garduolla has three cups in front of him so if Arsenal can give good pressure to the home team they might concede to Arsenal so they focus more on the bigger competition. This match is very important for Arsenal. If Arsenal doesn't win this match, they are most likely to lose the top spot in the table. Arsenal is not in good form. They have been eliminated from the Europa League. They have also lost points in 3 consecutive matches in the Premier League. If they still can't get back on track, they won't be able to win the Premier League title. Manchester City is in very good form. Arsenal has to win this match if they want to keep fighting with Manchester City. But the important thing is that the match is Manchester City's home match. Home Manchester City is stronger. It is going to be very difficult for Arsenal to win this match. I think Manchester City will win this match. Arsenal is very likely to lose the top place in the table in the coming weeks. |

Barcelona have solid defensive area with 9 goals conceded until 30 games in La Liga but they faced difficult scoring many goals on attacking line after last three games with one goals scored its happen winning from Atletico Madrid. Its not matter about how many goals scoring but the most important for Barcelona success get three points and current standing have 11 points gap with Real Madrid.
Current standing, Barcelona almost near close with La Liga tittle for this season, have 8 matches left and need consistency for five games later if want to be champion early without waiting until matchday 38.
The chances that were missed during the game, leading viewers to believe that the shots should going to find its way into the goal. But, they still managed to secure a victory. Yes, season is far from over. There are 8 matches left to play, anything can happen. Xavi and his coaching staff must continuously remind the players to stay focused. If Barca manages to win all of their remaining 8 games, they will secure a total of 100 points, which would be an impressive outcome. Though they only need five wins to be crowned Laliga champions mathematically. At this moment it is even hard to imagine that anyone else, other than Barcelona will actually be able to win the La Liga title. That contest that Barcelona has right now is really big. And in the last match, Barcelona got a really important three points against Atlético Madrid. Now the only team that is actually be able to give some competition to Barcelona is Real Madrid. But Real Madrid currently has to think about the Champions League as well. So, it is hard to believe that they will invest all the resources in La Liga when they are behind by so many points. |

Napoli won and Juventus has been robbed again with a valid goal removed by VAR.
UEFA/FICG mafia is going on.
The defeat of Juventus and Lazio makes top four competition continues to be opened and interesting for a bunch of clubs: Lazio, Juventus, Roma, AC Milan, Inter Milan and even Atalanta still have their chance to end this season within top four. Next hours, Atalanta will have a big match with AS Roma and if they win against AS Roma, this competition will become more exciting. Even Lazio and Juventus are not safe at their second and third positions as their differences against other competitors are not too big. Example, from Juventus to Atalanta, the gap is only 10 points and if Atalanta win their match today, it will become only 7 points. AC Milan with a 2 - 0 win against Leece are challenging the fourth position of AS Roma as they have same points now. Juventus absolutely got robbed in this match. There was no way the goal from Di Maria should have been disallowed. That was a legit goal and certainly, there was no foul in my opinion. It was just a way to make Juventus get robbed. I am not saying that if it was allowed Juventus would have won the match. I am certainly saying that if that goal was allowed the results could have been different. Roma will have to win the match against Atalanta. Because that is going to ensure that they will stay in the 4th position. Otherwise, the teams below will have a chance to get ahead of Roma. |

PSG has the best position, and they are lucky because they have Lionel Messi as one of their big strengths. Therefore, when there are problems, usually Lionel Messi will be included because maybe there are also many who don't like Lionel Messi's game and try to make his enthusiasm at PSG collapse by receiving a lot of pressure like that.
Of course, the PSG fans think Messi isn't giving enough/his best for the club like he does when he is on International duty with Argentina, or when he played for Barcelona, and imo i think the fans are well within their rights to think that way. When they signed Messi there was quite a lot of optimism around the club, the fans thought he was the final piece of the puzzle that could finally deliver the CL for them, but two consecutive seasons now and they've been eliminated in the RO16 stage. Having said that, i don't think it was a good idea for the fans to boo Messi a couple of weeks ago anyway, that's not the best way to show their frustration, thus i think the Argentine world champion is going to leave PSG this summer, he does not feel loved over there and so it is better for both parties if he goes. Anyway PSG's problem isn't with a single player, it is with the entire team. I have a hot tech about this. Whenever I talk about this topic, the PSG fans seem to be saying that Messi’s always walking on the field. But the thing is Lionel Messi has won the World Cup by working on the field with Argentina. But somehow it is not good enough when it comes to playing with PSG? And do they think that if he runs all the time, he’s going to have enough stamina to play till the end of the match? That is a dumb thing to think. Of course, there is the thought that he is not trying his best while playing for PSG. Because he is probably not very interested in achieving club titles. But I think that is not 100% true. It all comes down to Argentina, listening to him, and PSG not doing that. |

Today I see very important matches in all leagues. The match between Newcastle United and Tottenham will undoubtedly be the most interesting match in the English Premier League. Both teams want to finish the league among the top four teams. Because they want to go to the Champions League. There is a rivalry between Manchester City and Arsenal in the league leadership race. The next best rivalry takes place between these two teams, in my opinion. Newcastle United lost to Aston Villa last week. They disappointed me in that match. On the other hand, Tottenham lost to Bournemouth last week. Frankly, they also disappointed me. I see this match as a match between two teams with equal strength. I think the match will end in a draw. I expect both teams to score in this match.
The match between Newcastle United and Tottenham is going to be a lot more important for Newcastle United. In this match, if Newcastle United wins, they will actually get ahead of Manchester United on the table. And that will also happen because of goal differences. But that will also mean Newcastle United will play one match more compared to Manchester United. Anyway, if Tottenham wins in this match, they are not going to go ahead of anyone on the table. They are going to stay where they are. That also with playing one match more compared to anyone else on the table. Both of these teams are in good form. I am not going to be surprised if there is a draw in this match. But I am also sure that both of the teams are actually going to go for the win. |

The case of UAE is altogether different they don't have local players rather all are from South Asia. So there is no need to give funds to such team. Nepal performance can be enhanced further based on there recent success in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. But Nepal and other associate teams can only join T20I or upto some extent ODI. Test format need proper infrastructure at domestic level and most of teams you mentioned don't have proper test infrastructure at domestic level.
The UAE cricket scene is distinct with a side that is mostly made up of South Asian players. In terms of funding this creates a different situation because the team might not need assistance. But Nepal has recently made encouraging strides, especially after their win in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. While participation in longer formats of cricket such Test matches, may be restricted for Nepal and other associate teams there is still room for development in T20I and ODI cricket. It should be noted that Test cricket requires adequate domestic infrastructure which may be missing in some of the teams. UAE does not need any money in my opinion. The only reason why UAE is able to get money is because they are generally producing good money for ICC. They absolutely do not need money because they are playing with foreign players on the team. The teams which actually need money are those which are playing with native players in the team. I said those teams need to get some more money from ICC because they are actually spending money to get better. So they need to be helped with some more money so that they can actually be able to look for better talent in the country. |

Bitcoin has benefits to us, it is why we speak positive about it and support it because if bitcoin was in no way of benefit to us, supporting it will be difficult maybe like the government. Maybe we have all been selfish and just been discussing the benefits that bitcoins have offered us and not how it has also benefitted the government too. Is the government a part of the benefit list of bitcoins, is there any benefit that bitcoin offers to the government? If your answer is "no benefit", do you think that it could be a reason why the government do not support bitcoin? If your answer is "yes, but not enough benefit", do you think they are just ignoring the benefits to them and focusing more on the benefits to the people which is making them angry?
There is a government benefit from bitcoin. Look at the exchanges for example in the US, they're making a lot of money and that profit they make is taxable. So, in short terms, there goes the taxation that's being cut from these exchanges which are sums of money and that go directly to the government. Also, we've seen those bitcoins that have been put into auction, those seized bitcoins and all the profit goes to the government too. Means that there are a lot of forms from bitcoin that the government benefits and also even from us, individuals. Taxes, that's what most governments get from bitcoin. And I think that is also the reason why many governments gradually do not want to ban bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but instead, they gradually accept it with a series of regulations. They realized they were losing billions of dollars a year from the market and started looking for ways to tax us. Like it or not, regulations and taxes are things we cannot avoid, they are inevitable, the government will never let us go. |

ancelotti has been able to make the difference this season, this is notwithstanding after they failed to compete strongly in the Laliga they focused well in other competitions. Qualifying for the Copa del Rey final and in the ucl, ancelotti again managed to bring Real Madrid to the semifinals are two good hopes for Real Madrid to get a trophy this season.
in the Champions league, real madrid is highly favored to win this season. but we will see the draw in the semi-finals which team real madrid will get against.
Barcelona indeed one of their hopes is laliga so xavi will take advantage of the opportunity in the upcoming match to return barcelona to victory.
Although Madrid have a small chance of winning, but three points must be obtained in the remaining matches of their season. This is to keep them at number two. Of course there is prestige that must be maintained from the one-city club Atletico Madrid. In addition, if you look at the league match schedule, Real Madrid will not have a heavy opponent. Of course they can focus on the Copa Del Rey and I'm sure they will win the Copa Del Rey. As for UCL they are experienced and I believe they are capable of reaching the Final. Though not mathematically impossible, but I don't see Real Madrid win the Spanish La Liga title this season because at the moment that's all that Barcelona has to play and with Barcelona's huge point difference they'll not allow the title to slip off their hands. Though Carlo Ancelotti's main focus at the moment is to win the UEFA Champions League title and also the Copa Del Rey but surely he wouldn't want his team to finish the league in any lesser position than their current position in the league standings. Real Madrid is a big team with rich historical records and finishing the league season in great fashion would be a must for them. Real Madrid is not winning the La Liga title this season. For them to win the title, something really unbelievable has to happen. And I don’t think Barcelona will somehow suddenly become that bad. I also agree that Real Madrid is obviously more concentrated on the champions league right now. and I also think that Barcelona is taking a little advantage of that. Right now, Barcelona is not performing well, at least not the best in La Liga. I believe, even though Real Madrid is probably not going to win that La Liga title, they are still going to win the champions league title and also the Copa del Rey title. Also, they will be finishing the season in the second position in La Liga. All of these results combined, it doesn’t make Real Madrid look bad. If they win the champions league, the results actually look very good for them. |

Chelsea have held talks with former Tottenham Hotspur coach Pochettino but there has been no decision from Chelsea because it seems that the former Bayern Munich coach Nagelsmann remains the favorite for Chelsea at the moment, but hopefully it will not be a wrong decision that will be taken by Chelsea because if they choose the wrong one again who will be Chelsea manager then all the money that has been spent will be in vain https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1649056866876489730Nagelsmann withdrawn himself. Julian Nagelsmann has made a wise decision in leaving the race for the Chelsea job. With their ongoing struggles on both the field and the transfer market, it's understandable that top coaches might not be eager to take on such a challenging position. Now, Chelsea are considering Pochettino as a potential candidate for the job. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1649422319712911360?cxt=HHwWgIC2sYu39uMtAAAAI was saying this for a long time. I know that right now no coaches will actually want to take the job of managing Chelsea. After all the problems that Chelsea has right now are quite weak and almost going to take one or two whole seasons to fix. I believe this is the right decision taken by Julian Nagelsmann. Now Chelsea is at a point where they will have to think about which coach is going to take the job of managing them. The ball is not in their court anymore. |

I don't think good ideas investing in bitcoin during halving moment, usually all halving time Bitcoin reached up and better start investing right now and earn profit later exactly when halving time on 2024. Depend on your hand, start investing right now or waiting next year on 2024 with close moment for bitcoin halving. Believe or not, all halving time bitcoin will up drastically and that moment for getting profit not recommended for investing. If you want invest after halving is better than before halving on 2024 because has chance for bitcoin or altcoin will get correction after halving moment than investing before bitcoin halving when price still higher.
It is advisable to start investing as soon as possible, and now is the right time to invest because the price is still very low. But also depending on the economic conditions of each person, if you can't invest from now, you can also invest in 2024. Another thing is that bitcoin does not immediately increase in price when the halving occurs. In the past, bull markets usually took place a year after the halving, so there was still an opportunity for those who wanted to invest at that time. But it certainly couldn't be more favorable than investing right now. |

I want bitcoin to always be there at any time, because bitcoin has had a positive impact on my economic situation, with bitcoin, so many people have been helped, especially in terms of finance. So don't get rid of bitcoin, because I'm sure that bitcoin will bring positive changes to the world economy. Don't let bitcoin's current journey stop in the middle of the road.
No one can get rid of bitcoin, it is decentralized and controlled by all of us, it just gets rid of it unless we no longer need it. So, no worries, bitcoin will always stay as long as we still need it. Indeed, bitcoin has helped many people change their lives, myself included. I really don't know what my life would be like during the 2020 pandemic without bitcoin. Bitcoin is really useful, and I believe more people will need it one day. I hope we can keep it alive for as long as possible. |

I think they are all getting it wrong. Ignorance sometimes makes people act rashly without thinking or having a thought about something and seeing the good side of it before jumping to conclusion and making or passing judgement over bitcoin.
Looking at the topic matter of this thread, one would wonder if truly what OP has said is what is the reality today and if not properly understood, one would easily conclude and may take a make assumption that would lead them to taking a wrong decision. So I ask, if bitcoin were to be a racist development how come the world is glamouring for bitcoin. How come bitcoin is a borderless coin with no resistance? How come both black and white knows about bitcoin? Would it be possible that and individual could own a bitcoin if the government were involved in it? So I do not see any reasons why bitcoin could be a racist coin or project.
They don't get it wrong, my friend, they know bitcoin better than we do, but they always make accusations and slander about bitcoin because they can't find any weakness in bitcoin, and they are trying whatever they can think of. It was also recently reported that the SEC chairman said that the collapse of banks was caused by cryptocurrencies, which is another bullshit allegation intended to cover up their weakness and seek to place the blame on crypto. In my opinion, they are just trying to find a way to smear the reputation of bitcoin to keep people away from it. |

If I were you I will not want to accept Bitcoin as a payment in my business, imagine there are 5 consumers want to buy fuel and there's an one who interested to pay with Bitcoin, so he ask me when there's no more customers.
I will explain about Bitcoin, tell them to buy Bitcoin and use it etc, but there's no financial gain for myself lol. I'd rather to learn a new skill to earn more money rather than explain to stranger and not get anything.
I see what you mean, but in this case, you don't need to explain or take the time to teach people about bitcoin, if someone wants to know about bitcoin, just give them some reputable source so they can learn about bitcoin themselves. Using bitcoin for business is not a new thing anymore, and it is not as harmful as you think. You can both promote bitcoin to become more popular, and you can get more new customers by using bitcoin. If it were me, I would also get gas or shop at a store that accepts bitcoins rather than a regular store. Simply because I'm a bitcoin investor, and that counts as an experience. |

Because now for most people buying one bitcoin is not an easy matter, it takes a sizable fund to be able to get it. Maybe that's why beginners think twice about buying bitcoins, and decide to buy high-risk altcoins.
This is true, most newbies have this mentality, they think the bitcoin price is too high, and to get rich with bitcoin is quite difficult and impossible even if they own 1 BTC. So they choose altcoins as an alternative. Not only newbies but I believe even longtime investors like us have this mindset because everyone wants to get rich quickly and understands that bitcoin can't help us do that. Honestly, I invest mainly in bitcoin, but I also don't turn down the opportunity to invest in altcoins, I'm still looking for hidden gems and still hoping to find them one day. |

So I want to remain you guys again that right now is not the time to buy bitcoin.
When bitcoin dropped to $15k in 2022, many people said like you and believed that $15k is not the last bottom of the bear season, so don't rush to buy bitcoin. After all, you know, as a result many people missed the bottom and had to buy bitcoin for $20k or more because they waited for the price to drop lower to buy. No one knows if bitcoin will go up or down tomorrow, so don't wait for low prices to buy. What you are saying is theoretically reasonable, given the current economic situation, bitcoin is highly unlikely to continue to move higher. But that's just our speculation, just as we don't believe bitcoin can go from $15k to $30k early this year, but it happened, and all of our predictions are wrong. |

Correct me if wrong, seems $30 is not really worth for investing in Bitcoin on current price because need more higher price later in want earn much profit from OP amount investment. I think $30 is worth for investing in shit coins, however today and last day have hype with ArbDoge coins pump drastically more than 300% without one week.
Today have another coins hype with PEPE coin but not really recommended investing right now on both coins because have reached higher price, I don't recommended without risk when investing in shit coins but have worth and faster profit returning than you invest in Bitcoin with amount $30, its not mistake starting invest in Bitcoin with 30$ but need more patience waiting more than longer time to get profit than investing in shit coins.
You are not wrong because everyone has different views and ways of investing, you don't need to be like anyone else, just be yourself. I also don't have a problem with someone getting started with bitcoin with as little as $30 because everyone's income and economic conditions are different. But if it were me, I wouldn't invest, and instead, I would start learning everything about the market and try to make more money before investing. Or another solution, I'll invest in shitcoins, the meme craze is back, and I'll try my luck, and of course, I'm willing to lose that $30. |

Instead of giving advice, why don't you give him more knowledge and time so that he understands bitcoin well and can decide for himself? I know you're well-intentioned to help him make money, but giving someone financial advice is something I wouldn't do even if it were someone close to me. Since I myself do not guarantee 100% that bitcoin will bring me profit, so I have nothing to prove to my friend that he will not lose his investment. If he really wants to invest, let him decide for himself.
