You have a very unique way of video production, I think this is my first time seeing this. You actually draw it on paper and then you shot those drawing and record it into a video. I mean I saw some people who made video with hand-drawn style, but in the end they will digitalized it either by tracing it or just scan it. I am not really into your style, but I still could enjoy and appreciate it.

I am not really surprised by that data, I don't mean that I know beforehand, but I already saw mass layoff by several big companies happened several times since earlier this year. Especially companies that operating around Southeast Asia, it's where I live. I also work in marketing agencies, so I realize that companies are cutting their marketing budget.


I think everyone realize that it's different now, previously before covid, when stock market and economy in general is falling people are turn their speculation to Bitcoin, but the current Bitcoin price is already so high for people to do that again. On the latest stock market crash after covid Bitcoin are joining the bear market, so if the situation get worse, Bitcoin could probably pretty much affected.

With the current volatility and the adoption scale of Bitcoin the answer is no, the reason why USD became Global Reserve is because United States was the biggest economy without any competition, they supply many products and they also lend money to other countries, and those process required USD, same reason why Chinese Yuan /RMB is raising this day, Bitcoin wasn't adopted by any country that has huge economy, and bilateral transaction were never use Bitcoin, so I doubt that any country would consider Bitcoin to be global reserve.

Getting a degree won't guarantee that you will have better income, it depends on many other things too, like what field of study of your degree, where do you live and also networking. However, finishing your study and getting degree will open new opportunity, I mean like some high paying job require certain degree, so by having those degree you will have the chance to apply to those job, but then to be accepted, there will be many other factors, like skills, experience, presenting yourself, .etc.

Yep, happened to me once, and make me don't want to post in global boards for a while, global boards was really harsh on mistake. But from what I observe, it's far more tolerant to newbies day by days, as long as the post is not merit fishing or spam and junk, the higher rankings and other members who are currently active in several global boards is much more appreciative and less of a bully.

All that being said, I am agree that newbie should active in the local board while learning some technical term related to bitcoin, blockchain and crypto, and also learn more details on how the forum works.

I never really got affected by the FTX and Mt. Gox scam, so I couldn't relate. One of the case that I can personally relate is the Bitconnect scam. If there is anyone who haven't know about this case, this is a good read from the past https://www.bdo.ca/insights/cryptocurrency-execs-charged-for-2-4-billion-ponzi-scheme. I know a lot of relatives, friends, and acquaintance who lost their money on this scam, lost their life-saving, their education money, and even some of them buried in debt, this scam was massive in my country. And this case is one of the main reason why some/many people viewed crypto in a really bad way.

Totally agree, In a quite high-risk investment like Bitcoin and Stock, if someone ask me this kind of question my answer is most of the time, 'Invest with the amount of money you can afford to lose'. Other than that, investing with the money you can afford to lose, make you less worries when your portfolio is failing, we wouldn't be anxious to sell the asset, if we currently got unclaimed loss, so we can continue to accumulate and grow our portfolio.

How do you come with this conclusion? That kind of thing only happened in the movies, tho money also an important aspect, but being 'rich' is never consideration when someone want to settle a marriage. I believe if you look around you, there will be many couples who are married and they are still financially unstable. Even some people get married to have more stable life, so they can have more commitment to their job, one of the process to get 'rich'. As long as they have chemistry and they love each other at the moment, people will just get married most of them never think a long run for marriage, and that's also why divorce case is not very rare.

I think I have been using google since the first time I used the internet, at first I really thought that Google is a simple database processing, which later on I found that it's really complicated. What really bothers me nowadays is that when I was trying to find a detailed information or reviews about a product like pc stuff, GPU, CPU or Keyboard or anything, the top search result is marketplace, not the official site, or some article/video about the product, even after I specifically add the word 'review'. Now when I want to find those kind of information I use Bing.

Congratulations, I am glad that this forum helped you on your hard times. I also hope that this forum could help you learn new skills and give you so could get a real job, and finally move on from your unemployed status. There are a lot of things you can learn in this forum, and also you might get to find new job opportunity from this forum if you good enough to showcasing your skill.

Actually Bitcoin Price was never instantly surging after the halving, it needs few months even a year for the Bitcoin to actually reach new all time high after the previous halving. And what makes the price surging is not the halving itself it's the reduce of mining rewards which cause the reduce of additional supply while the demands for Bitcoin is increasing, that's what make the price surging. So, in another more simple word, there is no guarantee that Bitcoin price will increase after halving.

Yeah, that's true, and I believe he is not the only one, most of people who buy never cared about the technology or the solution that it's bring, proven by that Bitcoin was still considered as an investment assets rather than a currency, even many people in this forum preferred Bitcoin to stay as an investment asset with high volatility rather than a reliable currency.

I came up with this topic because I was planning to borrow money to invest in bitcoin but when  looked at the risk involved, I have to give up the borrowing plan.

Yeah, and the bank wouldn't even lend you if you say that you are trying to get a loan to buy Bitcoins, except you are going to lie about it, but then you will need to get some proof. Would be better if you get a loan to start a small business then spare some of your profit to invest in Bitcoins, that would make more sense, and your loan could probably got accepted by the Bank.

I am not always optimistic, I am more of like always prepared for the worst. I wasn't came from a wealthy family, not from a poor family either just a middle class, so my parents have had their high and low, and I am get used to it. I am not saying that I never has a financial stress, but when I do I just live through it trying to find a new opportunity, and I believe that it will get better at some point, because it always does, and then it will get worse again, and then get better again, just a cycle of life.

I for a couple of follow up questions here, So, you said that Bitcoin is illegal, is it illegal to be used as currency or it is also illegal to safe Bitcoin as an assets?


If it's even illegal just to buy Bitcoin and safe it as assets, how can you suggest to buy bitcoin from either online exchahge/P2P trading? Didn't Bangladesh government should have banned those sites or you suggesting to use VPN. Then if we got caught buying / holding Bitcoin what will happened? Will we get fined or even a jailtime?

I still remember some of the project I invested in, and I can say the same that most of those project was turns into dust. They always promise something big like 'the next Bitcoin' or 'better than Ethereum' but none of them could deliver the promised product. This investment mostly happened on the ICO boom like 4 years ago, tho there might be some projects that actually booming, and the profit is quite satisfying, I still learned from those mistake, and now like more than 80% of my portfolio is on Bitcoin, and I barely invest in any new project.

I have never heard that any country has a significant macro economic development because of bitcoin, or in any way it's helped by Bitcoin. Sure that some people are helped by Bitcoin in all over the world, but it's that many, and it won't helped the macro economy in any country.


Bitcoin is not a tool to hedge against inflation, though it's decentralized and hardly/won't be manipulated by central bank it's still currently has high volatility, it's barely maintain it's value. And even if it can counter inflation, it won't be enough to help to develop economic in a country, it's too complicated, too many factors.

An empty loaded container definitely not a good sign for economy, it can meant either that the production is low, maybe because it's difficult to get the production material or the producer need to reduce the production because they can't afford the raw material, or else the production still good but the consumer don't want to spend their money, they choose to safe their money because the uncertainty in economic condition. Either way, it's still not a good sign of economy the money won't flow and the will make the economy stagnan.

It used to be like this, investment used to be for people who already rich. But today it is not any more, I don't know if the case is the same in every country but from where I can from, we can invest in mutual funds with only $10. And now we can do this with our mobile phone, I don't know whether it is connected or not, but maybe it's also because Bitcoin investment is so easy so other investments feel the needs to catch up.
