When bitcoin was created, it was already a currency , a p2p currency that was not controlled by the government .And to be a currency,  it just needs to be able to do anything that fiat can do , and bitcoin can do everything that fiat can do. The only difference between fiat currency and bitcoin is decentralization and centralization as well as government legitimacy. So , it would be incorrect to say that bitcoin is not a currency.

It will be a bit inconvenient if the government does not accept bitcoin as a currency , and we will use bitcoin secretly, but that does not mean it is not a currency. Just like many years ago, the government even banned us from investing in bitcoin , but are you quietly investing in it and considering it as an investment?

Bitcoin can be used to exchange goods, can be used for payment even if it is not legalized by the government, as long as there is an agreement between buyer and seller , bitcoin is called money. I don't understand why the OP and some others are saying that bitcoin is not money when it can do anything that fiat can do.

Not only that, it can also serve as an investment, a hedge against inflation and even turn us into our own bank without having to rely on anyone . Bitcoin is not just money, Bitcoin is also a versatile asset.

If we only discuss the cryptocurrency market , it is clear that bitcoin will be the first and top choice of most investors because of the level of safety and significant profits it brings . But as I see , what OP is trying to say is that bitcoin is the choice of every investor in the world when compared to other investments . I think this is not entirely true because many people still reject bitcoin and have never invested in it . Currently , it can be said that bitcoin is still not the preferred choice of every investor.

Nothing can stop the growth of bitcoin in the long term, but in the short term we should not deny that the Fed, SEC, interest rates , or ETFs will not affect bitcoin, that is not true. Bitcoin is also part of the world economy and those people are the ones who control this economy so they will also have an impact on bitcoin .
I don't know if the ETF is important for bitcoin, or whether it will have a positive or negative impact on bitcoin. But one thing I'm pretty sure of is that ETF are inevitable whether we like them or not.

Yes absolutely true. They have weathered the storm that Bayern Munich brought. And that is enough indication for at least me to consider them one of the best competitors for the title. So far what we have seen from them, I think we can easily say that they have the capability of performing well even against bigger opponents. But one thing I have always been saying and I will say again is that they should try to keep their players, healthy. They should really be careful so that none of the players actually get injured. Because that seems to be the only thing that might actually cause them problems

I agree with you that bitcoin could go up even without an ETF, but it should not be denied that what is happening is not related to the ETFs. The market is very bullish on ETFs and what is happening is the impact of news related to ETFs. Certainly, bitcoin will still recover and increase in price without ETFs, but if the SEC rejects ETFs again, you will see the bitcoin plummet immediately. We should continue to hold bitcoin no matter what happens but don't think that bitcoin will be unaffected by this news.

If you buy bitcoin for $69k in 2021 and sell bitcoin during the 2025 bull season for $100k, do you think that's a huge profit? Meanwhile, you have to hold for 4 years and only get back x2 accounts, do you think that is worth what we have to trade?

Investing requires knowledge and clear planning, we should not invest blindly. In investing, if we are excited when we receive profits, we should also be brave to accept losses, that is the law of finance we need to know. Therefore, if we buy at a price that is too high , we should cutloss and start over instead of holding for a long time and making a negligible profit.

Bayer Leverkusen is not going to have any problems in the upcoming few matches, to be honest. I don't know if they are actually going to face any challenges before facing Dortmund. And even when they are playing against Dortmund, I don't expect them to lose. Because the performance Dortmund is showing right now is just very inconsistent.  And on the other hand, Bayern Leverkusen is the most consistent team in the Bundesliga this season so far. Even better compared to Bayern Munich. I don’t think they will have to worry too much about the upcoming matches.

I actually think that this might happen. The level of inconsistency that Manchester United is showing is definitely not good. If Manchester United do not start showing consistent performance and if they do not start winning matches continuously I think definitely the authority might actually think about getting rid of the current coach. Lots of people say that he has done really well for Manchester United. But I haven’t seen one problem being fixed for Manchester United after he came in as the coach.

I was actually really surprised and amazed at the same time to see what Maxwell actually did. When I saw that the score is 91/7  I thought we have to be ready for a surprise/ upset and Afghanistan is going to win this match against Australia.  but that did not happen. As we all know Maxwell actually played the best innings in any World Cup ever.  and he also did that with one leg.  some people have only seen the score but they don't know that he actually had a cramp in his leg muscle while playing.  it was really sad to see him hurt like that.  but that guy is really something else, he stood there and hit sixes like it was nothing.  congratulations to  Australia and also Maxwell for his 200.

Netherlands will probably not be able to win this match. England has given them a big target. They still need 190 and they have 5 wickets in hand.  they also only have about 18 overs.

But the thing is I don't think this scenario will happen, as long as bitcoin doesn't become a currency and volatility stays high this will never happen. We need the fact that bitcoin is only used as an investment, more like a store asset like gold than a currency. And have you seen anyone using gold to pay workers? Furthermore, as long as people still only view bitcoin as an investment, paying salaries in bitcoin will be useless because people will also convert it to fiat currency immediately.

Although this is not too big news and Ferrari cannot be compared to Tesla, Ferrari's popularity is known to most people even those who cannot afford to buy their products. This news is nothing special similar to Honda accepting bitcoin payments nor does it create any hype for bitcoin, but all this news says is that bitcoin is becoming more and more accepted, its popularity is getting wider and wider.

But honestly, I don't think Tesla accepting bitcoin will be good news for bitcoin . I mean what if they accept it and then proceed to eliminate it?

Afghanistan's bowlers are literally playing with Australia's batsmen today. Australia is batting very badly. The confidence of the Australian players hit rock bottom after losing several wickets early on. This is why the performance of top order as well as middle order players is very poor. At the moment Australia is only 97 runs and they have lost 7 wickets. Australia has no chance of winning this match. Australia need 195 more runs. Maxwell is the only experienced batsman. After losing 7 wickets so quickly I don't see the possibility of Australia scoring 292 runs with Maxwell batting. Afghanistan players are very confident now. And this confidence will result in them winning by a big margin today.

The Australian team is now in trouble. I never imagined that Australia's  top order would  collapse like this. In the last 5  matches we have seen great performances from Australian players. Especially  the batsmen  played very well. But today they can't stay at the crease against the Afghanistan bowlers. At the end of 12 overs, Australia collected only 61 runs, losing 4 wickets. If Maxwell and Labuschagne can't play big innings then Australia has no chance of winning. Australia has a slim chance of winning if these two batsmen score a century. But the match is now completely under the control of the Afghanistan bowlers.

I still remember when bitcoin dropped to $15k, many people still didn't want to buy bitcoin and they thought it would drop to $12k and called that the time to buy bitcoin. But unfortunately for them, that didn't happen and now we're at $35k, and I bet you that. Even if bitcoin drops to $12k at that time, they will not buy bitcoin and say they will wait for the price of $8-12k. Not only are they people who don't believe in bitcoin, but they are also greedy people who just want high profits without any risks.

Many people have changed their lives by investing in bitcoin, but the confusing thing is that until now many people still do not believe in bitcoin and ask stupid questions.

I don't use Bitfinex, but have they been hacked before and caused damage to users? One thing I see is that Bitfinex is also a favorite exchange platform for sharks. Some news I have read and learned is that whales in the market often use Bitfinex or coinbase to sell assets rather than Binance or OKX. So I think maybe they are another big exchange besides Binance or OKB.

As for them printing USDT, we don't have any evidence for that so it's hard to say. If they were actually laundering money or doing something illegal, would law enforcement cover them up?

Looking at the market capitalization, many years ago when there were not too many altcoins appearing, bitcoin dominated 70-80% of the market. But in recent years, bitcoin's dominance is only 40-50% of the market , meaning there is competition in the market between bitcoin and altcoins.

And I agree with you that, if this market did not have the presence of altcoins , bitcoin would not be as well known or have such impressive growth as it is today. If there are no altcoins, what can we compare with bitcoin and realize that bitcoin is the best to invest in? The role of altcoins should not be denied.

The law always has loopholes and that's why criminals still operate in all fields despite the heavy penalties for previous offenders . So I think scammers in the market will also find newer ways to scam others, so we should absolutely never trust anyone in this market. Always be vigilant and trust only yourself and no one else, including law enforcement agencies. They won't scam us but they can also confiscate our bitcoins for no reason.

If Roma did not win today's match, the entire blame would have been placed on Lukaku. And Lukaku is the main hero behind Roma's victory in today's match.
Roma received a penalty in the  fifth minute of the match. And Lukaku failed to score from the penalty spot. Because of this, if Roma did not win the match, Lukaku's poor performance was to blame. And thanks to Lukaku's goal in the last minute, Roma won the match 2-1. Sardar Azmoun scored the first goal for Roma in the 90+1 minute and Lukaku scored the second goal just 3 minutes later. After 90 minutes, Roma players could score two goals in extra time, which Lecce players probably did not imagine. Roma team was lucky so they managed to get full 3 points from this match.

Liverpool performed well but I expected a  more composed  performance from them. Luton have been one of the weaker teams in the Premier League this season. Despite this, Luton's players were very confident today, even against strong opposition. They did a great performance. Perhaps the Liverpool coach did not expect that a  small team like Luton would be able to put up such resistance  in front of them. If Diaz had not scored in extra time, Liverpool would not  have been in third place in the table. And so I'd say  Liverpool were lucky enough today, that they managed to get 1 point.
