Gold can go to $0 if governments all around the world decide to fight climate change for good. The "green energy" agenda could make Gold obsolete as we speak. After all, Gold mining harms the environment. Bitcoin, on the other hand, consumes less energy than Gold itself. And if there's ever an issue with "carbon neutrality", Bitcoin miners can switch to alternative energy with ease. It's the future of money, so don't expect it to lose its value anytime soon.

All I see is BTC rising in demand each day. Not only that, but supply is getting "tight" too. With less block rewards, BTC will become scarcer and more valuable over time. Let's all embrace the "Bitcoin Revolution", while we watch Fiat currencies die at a slow and steady pace. Who knows if someday BTC becomes the world's next reserve currency? Just my thoughts

Did you only predict that WI will not be able to score 180 runs or did you actually bet on it?
I usually bet on winning and losing but do not bet on such things as they are difficult to predict. At Lunch, West Indies are 68 for 4 wickets down. Any single partnership can easily take West Indies beyond 180 runs. Sometimes even the 8, 9, or 10 wickets make 30 - 40 runs, and a team scores beyond 180. Such bets are too risky indeed.

Exactly. Bitcoin is already too mainstream to lose its value overnight. It simply won't happen now or in the near future. If BTC goes to $0, then Gold would have to go to $0 too. We all know that's impossible. The ones pushing BTC to go to zero are none other than banks, governments, and haters. The rest of the people want BTC to keep going all the way to the moon.

Based on the rules of supply and demand, it's very likely BTC will reach new ATHs over time. It was designed as a deflationary cryptocurrency, anyways. Who knows if Fiat currencies will end up going to zero while BTC stays afloat? Just my opinion

Not really sure what you're talking about, but most of people will agree if P2P trading is more slower and not convenient for investors. If P2P is more quick and convenient, most people already prefer to use P2P than CEX.

I would say CEX don't have any intention to reveal their customers' KYC because there's no point for them for doing it. But the problem is about their vulnerability and the hacker can get all personal information that have been submitted.

It still seems a bit difficult for Bitcoin to reach $60K immediately this year because the resistance of the correction is still happening although I also believe that the future of Bitcoin is bright and most people hold onto it without hesitation. So it still looks very hasty to conclude that the market is in a real bull, even though it can indeed happen, but to say it now I think it's still not feasible and seems to be in a hurry to hope for a bull in the market.

You can see for yourself how Bitcoin has stayed in the $30K+ price range since the beginning of the month until now which hasn't even been able to get past $32K. That is a sign that to reach the $60K range, Bitcoin may still have to take a little longer because that is a pretty big number for Bitcoin even though in 2021 Bitcoin has crossed that price range in the market.

Yea, I quit reading some meaning to this, and you are right. Bitcoin doesn't even need to be approved by the government to be accepted as legal tender. The reason is because the vision Satoshi had for Bitcoin was to be accepted as a means of payment through P2P, which means I don't need the federal government to approve Bitcoin before I can carry out a transaction, for example, with you (@frankolala). As long as you are a Bitcoin user and you agree that I can pay you with Bitcoin, then we can initiate a P2P transaction. That's what Bitcoin is all about. Bitcoin is for people who, genuinely on their own, have learned about Bitcoin or agreed to it, embrace it, and decide to use it. All this push for Bitcoin to become legal tender is not even making sense to me again.



Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺

If he is really that good as advertised, then he can thrived with all the media attention, just like Lebron. But if he is just an ordinary kid which happen to be just tall and his style of play is only good in amateurs, then maybe he won't last in the league.
So let's see, for sure he is in good hands with Spurs specially with coach Pop, and maybe he is not only being build outside, but from inside as well. To be though mentally so that he can endure all this attention that he is getting.

Yeah, probably this is one they re-sign him for that big money. I mean he could be thinking of retiring for good, however, with the number 1 draft pick going to them and it turns out to be Wemby, then maybe we can see some spark in coach Pop eyes and says that he can still make a good run with this new guy as he had done it before with David Robinson first and then Tim Duncan. So good to hear that for the Spurs and coach Pop indeed. Work your magic as you have the blue print already to turn the number 1 draft pick to be one of the biggest superstar in the NBA.

It's all his fault if no teams are going to pick him up in the next coming seasons. I do agree that he was one of those young talents in the league early as he was even compare to Lebron. But damn, he can't should the ball at the free throw lines, that should be basic for any player. And then he lost confidence as he just opted to pass because he was afraid that he will be fouled and get to the FT line to shot and missed. Then he acted diva with Philly, shipped to the Nets and didn't play that good either. So yeah, after his contract and all that money, he could be gone for good from NBA.

It is obvious that we are not in the bull run yet, the season you are talking about will happen next year, after the Bitcoin halving, that's when we will know what will be truly perfect, but now everyone can only say assumptions one of us here in this industry.

So as long as we still have time to save, let's do it, let's not waste time to make DCA as much as possible, as long as we have the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to have holdings.

We have passed a long way in Bear market and we are still now in Bear Season. But the hope is that market is going against Bear trend and It already climbed almost 2× from the bottom of this bear season. That is a good sign of starting a Bull season. So what can be the next in 4/5 months?

There is a possibility to remain stable under 40 K level but if pumps a little bit then we can easily see the price at the 50K level. And it's a good possibility to pump a little bit from it's stable range. So I am predicting about 50K price of Bitcoin at the end of this Year. And of course I am expecting this price if market remains positive but negativity or bad news can arrive anytime. So we much have risk management before making any decision of investment.

Bitcoin is really made to be spent, and for others, they treat it as savings that, in case they needed it, they would use. Though I do agree with some that they are scared to spend it as they want to gain profit from it, for me, we do have the same view: I would spend it if I needed it. Though i still hold it if i want to earn profit it really depends on the person which still serve its purpose so there is nothing wrong with it , though i wouldn't say that making it a source of income a mistake one , i do prefer to say that it is a wrong move to do it because first even you'll gain profit on it but it is not on monthly basis which you cant pay your bills unless you already gain profit before that can last you 5 years and then sell the profit of your bitcoin then continue the cycle, but it is really preferred to make it a side hustle or really an investment.

Srilanka W vs New Zealand W
These two teams are playing 1st T20 match in Colombo. New Zealand won the toss and chose the field first. And Srilanka team is playing now. Sri Lanka has played 15 overs and made only 73 runs and already lost 6 wickets. If they hold tight and will play all overs so they can easily go above 100 runs. And if Srilanka team will make 120+ runs so it will be little bit difficult for the New Zealand team to chase. For sure the New Zealand team is a good team but we can't underestimate Srilanka team too.

It will be a very good team for Damian Lillard. I think there will be no setback and he will go to the Miami Heat. Both the player and the team are looking forward to this transfer. Now I want to see a player like Dame succeed in the playoffs.
He's getting older and despite his talents, he hasn't had as much success as we thought

You intended to convince your mom to start accepting Bitcoin in her tailoring shop? It might sound like a good idea, but to me, it is actually not one.
First, the business is not yours; accepting Bitcoin in a business is in the owner's best interest if the owner of the business is the one who wants to start accepting it, so full responsibility will be on the owner. If there is anything negative that comes after, no one will be to blame.
 
You convincing your mother into accepting Bitcoin in her tailoring shop means you are going to assure her about the only positive things it comes with without letting her know about price movement or how to manage her wallet. If she happens to agree to your idea and start accepting Bitcoin as a payment option, what do you think will happen if she wants to make use of her funds, which are in Bitcoin, and as of the time she wants to use them, the Bitcoin price is down? She will have to hold you responsible for misleading her into doing something she never planned on doing.
 
To me, it will be good if you could just tell her what Bitcoin is, how it works, the little benefits it comes with, and the risks involved, and then allow her to make her own choice if she wants to start using it in her daily life or not. That should be a choice she needs to make on her own.

Bitcoin owners have different reasons of accumulating bitcoin, others are just pure investors that hodl their Bitcoin while waiting for the right moment and others are just earning bitcoin to be able to put food in their table, pay their bills, and buy things that they need and wants. Both are valid reasons, there's nothing wrong spending Bitcoin that you've earned, especially if that is their only source of income.

IMO, there should not be two tiers - full membership and associate membership. All the ICC members should have the status of full member. Funding should be done on the basis of performance. If Scotland and Netherlands are performing better than West Indies and Ireland, then the former should get more funds when compared to the latter. There is no excuse in granting $16 million per year to the WICB, when they are consistently losing matches against associate nations. Merit should be taken in to account.

With this type of approach, this man is only putting himself at risk of losing especially when he publicize that he’s got a huge amount of money and that he’s looking which best coin to invest. Seems like that he’s really innocent on what he’s doing, one thing that we should never do and let other people know since they will use it against us by taking advantage of our weakness just to steal our money from us. The reason why knowledge is a must before investing, not just for bitcoin but to all uncertain investments that need knowledge and investment strategies to make it successful.

Messi gave 30 assists in two years and you are saying that he should be thinking more about passing the ball? I have never seen someone being better at assisting goals than Messi. You can literally see that Messi himself is one of the best strikers ever because he exactly knows where he needs the ball in order to score and he is also able to pass the ball exactly like that. Mbappe and Messi have compatible talents , but Neymar might have been one too much of that kind of player.
Mbappe will be missing Messi as someone who knew how to create chances out of nothing. When a pass doesn't seem to be promising, Messi made it work regardless of what anyone else thinks. He is gifted with his left foot.

When Pulisic was about to turn 20, I thought that he will be one of those guys who is one of the hottest and most expensive transfers in the market. But he couldn't play on the same level many games in a row and that was his biggest problem in Chelsea. It was disappointing to see that someone with his talent is not able to be accepted into the first eleven players of the team. He played some games that caused my jaw to drop when he won his duels with his impressive dynamic, but then the next game he wasn't even average and lost most of his duels and couldn't cause any danger in the opponent half. When he now goes to AC Milan he will still have to remedy these fluctuations in his performances. Milan is not a club without ambitions where somebody can play below the maximum potential. If he can't remedy it, he will find himself sitting on the bench again.

After the exceptional performance by Scotland and Netherlands during the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier, will the ICC consider full membership to these two teams? They certainly performed better than Ireland and gave the other full members (Zimbabwe, West Indies and Scotland) a run for their money. And the sad thing about Scotland is that despite performing so well, no matches against full members are scheduled until 2027 (when the next qualifier tournament will take place). It's a cruel world, especially for associate nations in cricket.
