He won't do it. He'll want to wait for the verdict first and this will take at least a year. Then, if he gets 30 years or more, there's a chance he'll do it.

For a young guy, getting out at his 60s or 70s is like a death sentence, especially that he's a weak looking guy. If he got into a prison camp he might survive, but in a normal federal prison he won't make it with all those street thugs around. He'll end up as someone's girlfriend.

Should we care about him? It wasn't a mistake that he made. It was years of stealing before he got caught. He knew what he was doing.
I'd be more willing to release Ross than SBF and Ross is in for life.

LOL.. do you really think that this guy will spend more than a few weeks behind bars? He made hundreds of millions of USD worth of donations to various political causes (the vast majority of which went to the Democrat Party), and his parents are very rich and influential. He may get sentenced to a lengthy jail term, but I don't think that he will serve more than 1% of that time in a proper prison. Ross Ulbricht's case was different. He was from the other extreme of the political prism and he went against the system. You can't compare Sam Bankman Fraud to Ross Ulbricht.

Have you been following SBF's trial recently? According to an article I read recently, the trial is over and he has been convicted of 7 different crimes. What's even more interesting is that he could be sentenced to up to 115 years in prison and everything is almost certain and is no longer a rumor. His lawyer couldn't get him out of even a single charge, let alone get him out of jail. I think his connections and contributions to politics were useless because it couldn't save him from those counts.

There is no doubt that academic pursuit is enough to get a job. Most of the average-paying job requires an academic degree, so people who fail to get a degree don't have a chance to get into this kind of job and most of them often land on jobs that pay less, this is based on the system of my country. Academic degree holders have a higher chance to get a high-paying job than the skilled but don't have an academic degree. Most managers and supervisors position need an academic degree plus a master's degree regardless if they have the skill or not.

I also heard that the same fact happened in several areas in my country. But in my current area, apart from an academic degree, there are other things that we must have in order to be easily accepted into a job. Namely having connections to insiders. Even with a high academic degree, it will not be easy for us to be accepted into a company if we do not have connections to insiders.

But people who don't have inside connections can also be accepted for work easily, namely with money. Well this is quite a strange thing. We look for work to earn money. but I have seen many facts that to get a job we have to pay someone to help us to get hired. But I don't like that. In essence, it's like fishing for money with money.
It's ridiculous but I think this is common knowledge.

That is one of the problem that fresh graduates facing, some of the jobs might required degree but some achieved it thru connections by recommending them despite the fact that they do not meet the expectation of the role in the job. And it's true some would ask for money with saying that "we would immediately process it" that's how hard to find a job. I don't know I think it's fine for me? Cause I know for sure they wouldn't last long in that role cause they've only attained it by just having connections and paying someone, so when the company have a high expectation from them, they won't even meet that for sure. In short, the best thing is to process it right and let them find your potential but yeah it's hard with the numbers of unemployed people.

But you are right that those who enter a job not because of their abilities or skills but because they only rely on insider connections and money, then in the end sometimes they will not be able to last long in that job. Because still forcing ourselves in a field that is not our expertise is not easy. Especially large companies that really need people who really have expertise in certain fields that the company needs. So never give up for those of us who don't have insider connections or anything like that. enough for us to continue to hone our skills and expertise. Because if we can have skills beyond other people then we won't be the ones looking for work but there will be jobs coming our way.

Do you think that if someone can take advantage of relationships and spend large amounts of money to get a job even though it is not their expertise, will they easily give up that job? Or who can afford to fire them? If they already have enough power and money to buy that position, they can afford to maintain that position until a better position is obtained. That's common in my country, people with high education but without good connections cannot compete with people who have connections and money.That is also one of the many reasons why many people today feel that education is unnecessary and useless.

But that doesn't mean people without relationship won't get good jobs. There will still be many companies recruiting based on experience and practical skills, but they will need to try very hard because the competition is very fierce.

As far as I know, safe haven means that the asset not only needs to meet profits but its safety needs to be guaranteed and in this case only gold can meet that requirement. With thousands of years of existence and recognition around the world, along with stability in value, gold is truly a safe haven. As for bitcoin, the asset that brings the highest profit but also has the highest risk, it does not meet the safety level. People just looking at its profitability and assuming it is a safe haven are incorrect, making that claim just because we are showing bias towards bitcoin.

Experiencing an increase when world economic conditions are not good has been proven by Bitcoin and Bitcoin prices can remain stable even though the world economy is deteriorating, but to maintain its value over a long period of time has not been proven so we cannot consider Bitcoin as a safe haven asset. .
Maybe everyone has different views, but personally for me only gold can be called a safe haven asset.

The level of profit on Bitcoin investment is quite large, so the risk will also be comparable. There is no investment that has the possibility of large profits but small risks, except investment in real estate, which is also risky and has a long time to make a profit.
I think all investments will be worth it with all the possibilities and risks.
So in that way I think Bitcoin is in a different position.

I think you're saying the opposite, in the long term bitcoin actually maintains and increases its value rather than in the short term with its volatility.

Yes, I still see some people considering bitcoin as a safe haven and they have their own reasons, so I agree with you that it depends on each person's perspective.

I don't rule out real estate, real estate may be the safest asset but it is not the most profitable asset even if you hold it for a long time. When compared in terms of returns, no asset can outperform bitcoin.

In the grand scheme of things, Bitcoin has hit the ground running for the next bull market and I believe that we are not going back from here. The momentum that we need to get the price back up to its previous ATH is gradually coming back and we have started to see Bitcoin increase in its volatility than what we had it few months back with little stability in the price. I'm more bullish than I have been in months back.

We can say that we are in the pre-bullish phase but if you think that we will only go up from here and there will be no decline then that is not entirely certain. I mean bitcoin probably won't see a drop below $20k, but a retest of bitcoin below $30k is entirely possible. Don't get too excited and too subjective just because of bitcoin's growth in the past 2 weeks. My prediction is different from your prediction, I believe we will still have adjustments before and after the halving but it will not be too bad, the worst is over.

Hallo people,

I bought some bitcoin at 26/27/30 and 31k. all profit so far, I am thinking about buying more, but is 35k te expensive to buy bitcoin?

I do not think 35,000 is too expensive to buy Bitcoin. I think we are now seeing 'bullish' signs and there will be lots of profit and higher Bitcoin price then 35,000.
If you know Michael Saylor and MicroStrateg he has bought more Bitcoin. In last month October he did buy 155 more Bitcoin for $5.3 Million. When this man is 'bullish' like that it makes me feel we are going up.
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/microstrategy-acquires-an-additional-155-bitcoin-for-5-3-million

It is too expensive compared to last year's low price of $15k, but still too cheap if our target is the next bull season and will only sell when bitcoin reaches $100k or more. Those who have not collected many bitcoins but still continue to hesitate because they think it is expensive will have to pay the price for their greed, later they will have to buy at a higher price of 35k$ if they do not buy now. If we are long-term holders, why do we still care so much about bitcoin's short-term price? That just prevents us from filling our pockets with bitcoin.

Look at how the market is currently doing on Fear & Greed, Greed is very strong and this indicates that many investors are coming in and getting ready for the market surge when the Halving happens.

https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/

The greed index is increasing and is quite high while we are still in bear season, is this a good signal for the market or will it be a pre-set trap waiting for those who are too Fomo? I know everyone is happy and excited that bitcoin has surpassed the $35K level against many people's doubts. But is it time to tone down our excitement when the greed index is quite high? This is just my speculation but I'm starting to think a correction could happen at this point because people are crazy thinking the market will continue to rise.

Going back to the OP's question, I think bitcoin cannot yet be considered a safe haven like gold, just because a company claims it doesn't mean they are right. We need worldwide recognition for bitcoin to truly become a safe haven.

The problem is that currently Bitcoin is only recognized in a few countries, even the world bank IMF has given stern warnings and penalties to countries that dare to legalize Bitcoin as a currency or legal tender. So I totally agree with you, Bitcoin cannot be tied to Safe haven assets at the moment. It is more of an asset that provides the highest return. We'll never know if Bitcoin will go and grow. Because now they are just commodities. At times they may be lost or worthless. So if you say Safe Haven Assets maybe Gold is the best answer.

Yes, Bellingham won the competition, because Bellingham was basically a midfielder but his goal-scoring skills surpassed those of the great strikers of this era . In that way, I think about Ronaldo not being a striker at first either, but playing at Real Madrid then Ronaldo was placed in a pure striker. So yes, whether is it possible that over time Bellingham will also be placed as a pure striker. Because after all, of course the coach will also greatly utilize this great potential to make Bellingham a goal machine in the future.

Very worthy of Bellingham but that doesn't mean Bellingham has the ability to score goals more than a striker, Bellingham is still a midfielder who plays quite well and what he has done with Real Madrid so far is that he has done more to fill the gap in the front line of the Real Madrid team. so his movements that help the front line are more offensive so he can score a lot of goals so far for the team.

I never thought that Bellingham would be in the striker position, in fact the Real Madrid team had to look for another striker so that Bellingham's task would not be too hard to help the team, Bellingham plays as a midfielder and he has carried out his duties very well.

In fact, he takes on more than his duties as a midfielder. Jude Bellingham manages to step up and carry his team whenever the team is in a critical period. This is a success story. This performance of a 19-year-old midfielder should be talked about. He has shots like a striker. The last goal he scored was like Valverde's typical goals. He is such a fascinating football player.

It's an amazing story from him. There will be no other guy who will be doing the same thing like him. Seeing young players of barcelona looked like overrated compared with bellingham. bellingham is a few players being formed into the one player.
Im always watching him play with real madrid and he is a very sensational player. Bellingham was still young but he was able making so many records for real madrid. I never expect that this guy will be playing as a striker at the same time with midfielder as well.
It will be impossible to get another bellingham again. He played multiple role at the same time. Im seeing real madrid plays used 12 players instead of 11 players.
I count bellingham as 2 players. Cheesy

I actually have a feeling that Jude Bellingham might actually transition to being a striker. He is scoring a lot of goals. And I don't know if people have seen him scoring but I have and I really think that he is goals are incredible to watch. Now if he will actually be a striker or not in the future it is not certain. But at the same time, I also think maybe it will be better if he continues to play as a midfielder because he is doing really well. So probably he wouldn't want to change things up too much.

For sure that will be the most watched and interesting game on the coming Weekend between Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich is always the favorite in all games even there are teams like Dortmund , Leverkusen or Leipzig when they playing aginst them.
Its hard to say who will win this game , as Dortmund is playing at the moment very crazy and different from week to week.
Its possible with some luck that they can win that but from the players on the paper Bayern Munich will make it.

Football is played on the field and although Bayern Munich is the favorite of many right now, Dortmund is a team that can win this match. They had a great win against Newcastle United. Considering that both teams came well rested, it will definitely be an enjoyable match for us to watch. The result of the Bayern-Dortmund match will directly affect the position in the league. I'm sure Leverkusen will follow the result of this match with curiosity.

Every one is having his own review and analysis of games and teams with this all I have feeling there is no doubt about Bavarians are best in Bundesliga and Borussia Dortmund is always their challenger but with completely different mind-set Bayern Munich mean win trophies and having the best quality players and Borussia Dortmund mean buying big players and after some polish sells them to big clubs for the higher price which is giving them good profit many times they were near to win the title but luck and their own mistakes stop them from doing this.

Now again we are going to have another interesting encounter which will have good entertainment and good chance for the home team to beat them and jump at the second spot with this defeat Bayern Munich can go at 4th spot which will create more action and entertainment in coming weeks for the Bundesliga viewers around the world.

I think they should be an easy win for Bayern Munich. There is no reason for them to end up losing. If we look at the last 5 head to head matches between these two teams we will see that Bayern Munich has been the team to win 4 out of the matches and the other one was a draw. So I think Bayern Munich is going to go into this match being very confident. But at the same time, Dortmund should be very determined to win this match because of what happened in the last season. If that does not get the blood boiling for them, I don't know what will.

Bitcoin has proven to the whole world by remain the king among other cryptocurrencies, and more safe than gold and other centralized currency that is attracting people to embrace the potential asset so that they will have something suitable to achieve when the price of Bitcoin hit higher. There is no way you can embarked on the risk to invest a huge amount of money on Bitcoin and hold for long term and have something to fear because it will bring out a good results when it is time. I think, Bitcoin still stand as the best coin to invest in this bearish season, because the market price is still suitable for long and short term investors to make a good choice in this season to invest in Bitcoin.

I agree that bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency, and obviously everyone, even those new to the market, knows it. But if you say bitcoin is safer than gold, I disagree with this statement. Gold is still recognized by the world as a safe haven, while in people's eyes bitcoin is still just a risky asset. So how can we say bitcoin is safer than gold? Bitcoin will provide better returns than gold because of its volatility but will be riskier than gold.

Going back to the OP's question, I think bitcoin cannot yet be considered a safe haven like gold, just because a company claims it doesn't mean they are right. We need worldwide recognition for bitcoin to truly become a safe haven.

Now we have to wait for the Napoli vs Milan game and if Napoli wins Juventus will remain in the second place and the Serie A will become one of the most interesting leagues during this season together with all the other major 5 as now that I think,no team in any from these leagues has been able to create a meaningful gap to their opponents.

The result of this match was a draw, and what is interesting is that AC Milan could not maintain their 2-0 lead from the first half, maybe many thought that Napoli would not be able to make this match a draw but they managed to do it and this was a loss for AC Milan, and Napoli, who were without Osimhen, still tried to perform well, even though it wasn't a win, but managed to catch up from two goals down, it's still a good result for a team like Napoli, which looks like it's having problems.

After taking a 2-0 lead after just 31 minutes I thought Milan would be able to win this match. Because my assumption was that Milan will play defensively after leading by 2 goals. But they did not play defensive strategy. They continued to attack, and as a result their defense was vulnerable. And this opportunity was used very well by the Napoli players. Napoli attacked a lot in this match. Napoli boys played well enough. And in the second half they stepped up their attack. They scored the first goal in the 50th minute and after just 13 minutes they managed to level the match 2-2. Performance of both teams was very good. And I would say we got the expected result from the match.

Bit of a fumble today at the start but i guess we can trust the Rohit-Rahul pair with the bat. Sometimes you have to respect conditions and respect the opponent bowlers as well.

In the context of the WC journey, it won't be bad if batters get a reality check. It could very well work in Indian favor as far as knockouts are concerned.

Rohit Sharma is doing his duty properly. Rohit Sharma is still unbeaten with 82 runs from 90 balls. But Kl Rahul could not extend his innings much. KL Rahul returned to the dressing room after collecting 39 runs from 58 balls. Rahul's strike rate was only 67. After a long time I saw Rahul batting at such a bad strike rate. India managed to collect 141 runs in 32 overs. They managed to collect an average of 4.4 runs per over. If Rohit Sharma survives at the crease, India will give a target of more than 260 very easily. But if Rohit Sharma is out, it may not be possible for India to collect more than 250.

This is probably the best start for England in this World Cup. They couldn't ask for a better opening against India than this, winning a toss and 2 opposition batters are already down and one of em is Kohli.

From an Indian perspective, they won't like Gill looking out of touch after recovering from dengue. Kohli having an off day at work is alright i suppose, maybe he'll save some carrots for the knockouts?

Maybe it is time to test the middle order again and in the absence of Pandaya. Surya and Iyer need to get some runs as well, especially Iyer.

India have just lost their third wicket. India never started such a bad match in the past. In every match we have seen responsible batting from India's top order. But today's scenario is completely different.

At the end of 12 overs, India managed to collect only 40 runs. They lost three important batsmen. Rohit Sharma is still unbeaten with 27 runs from 34 balls.

Gill collected 9 runs. Kohli could not collect any runs from 9 balls. Iyer got out for just 4 runs off 16 balls. Rohit and KL Rahul are batting now. These two batsmen are very experienced. If this pair can survive at the crease, India will be able to collect big.

The New Zealand team is doing well in chasing the target. The required run rate is 8.22 and the current run rate is 7.1 with loss of 2 wickets in 21 overs. One big partnership and this game will go in favour of the New Zealand team. Adam Zampa magic is not working today for Australia. If Australia can break this partnership then it would be a nightmare for the New Zealand team.

New Zealand need 83 runs from 48 balls to win. Despite setting a huge target of 389 runs, it became difficult for Australia to win this match. Because New Zealand batsmen are in very good form. Rachin Ravindra returned to the dressing room with 116 runs. He batted very responsibly. If Santner, who is now at the crease, can bat a bit better, New Zealand has a chance to win. 83 runs in 8 overs should not be too difficult a task for a team like New Zealand. New Zealand batsmen have to collect 10 runs in every over. But the Australian bowlers are experienced. They will try to win.

I don't think New Zealand will win. It cannot be said that I have seen very good batting from the New Zealand batsmen in today's match. Because no other batsmen can play big innings except Rachind Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell. After losing 7 wickets now it is very difficult for New Zealand to win this match. New Zealand managed to collect 331 runs in 45 overs. The New Zealand team still needs to collect 58 more runs to win in 30 balls. I don't think James Neesham and Matt Henry will be able to muster it. Australian bowlers bowling is very controlled.

What are some good exchanges allowing fixed monthly investment in BItcoin? I need options where my funds will be secure.

Have you forgotten the collapse of FTX last year and the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars? FTX was once considered one of the top exchanges and was even ranked second only to Binance. But then you saw what happened, millions of investors still haven't received any compensation even though they were promised a lot. I believe this will also be the 2nd Mt.gox, they will promise and promise but never give you your money back.

What percentage of interest will you get on the 1BTC you stake? 5% or 10%? While the risk you will face is losing all the bitcoins you have. Do you think it's worth the risk?

But there is a difference between borrowing money on a forum and borrowing money from a bank. You won't need to pledge or provide your identity to the lenders on the forum, but what's the maximum amount you can borrow? A few hundred dollars or a few tens of thousands of dollars? It's just a very small amount and not even significant if you need a large amount of money to do business. At that time, borrowing money from banks will become more complicated and require more collateral, but you can borrow large amounts of money for your business.

Some user manage to loan here huge amount due to their trust score and known to have the capacity to pay that amount of money. I agree that forum loan is just a micro loan of we compared to bank business loan but even a micro loan on bank requires you same requirements so it means bank standard protocol is to ask about customers details regardless of the amount involved.

I find that not too difficult to understand. Banks always have thousands, hundreds of thousands of loan applications every day and the amount amounts to billions of dollars. They need to ensure everything so they can keep risks as low as possible. If they have 1 or 100 borrowers who don't pay, there's no problem for them, but if 1 million borrowers don't pay, their business will certainly collapse. And if they don't make a series of demands and anyone can easily borrow money without paying it back, are they idiots?

Quote from: Eternad on October 27, 2023, 02:56:36 PM

It’s not easy to loan in the forum if you are not trusted here while you can loan on the bank even if you are untrusted to your community with just submitting valid ID and source of income. I think this is the big difference on loaning based to trust alone. Even banks experienced borrowers that is not paying the loan tho.

Even if you borrow a small amount of money on the forum, you still need to have a reputation to get a loan. So we shouldn't be upset when banks ask for more things because as I said, their loan amount as well as the number of borrowers reaches billions of dollars and millions of borrowers.

Salernitana i think can be considered as the team who have potention to be relegated this season because their records was so poor besides that Salernitana has weak defense because until today they as the team with the most conceded goals in Serie A with 19 goals so i am sure Genoa was realized these records and they will attempts to collect 3 points from Salernitana today and return to winning ways

Genoa probably will played Gudmundsson and Retegui in the front lines because confirmed both players was in the good fitness and ready to played and so far these players has been collect 6 goals total for Genoa and as a host Genoa is the favourite because sometimes they can able to performing well and the latest is Genoa was draw from Napoli and won with big scores from Roma and today too they will going to win the match and Genoa odds @1.71

Genoa vs Salernitana
Firstly I thought this match was going to be really close and hard to predict. But when I thought about it, I also believe Genoa is going to have a bigger chance to win this match. Because even though none of them are actually performing well, Genoa is performing better compared to their opponent. Anyway, I've watched the match highlights today. The final score is Genoa 1-0 Salernitana. I think the results were kind of expected probably.

In this match I got the result as per my expectations. Salernitana's performance has been very poor this season. This team is in the relegation zone now. In 10 matches, this team is yet to win even one. They scored only 4 points. The genoa team was not in good form. However, genoa's performance was better than that of Salernitana. And they did well enough in this match too. Genoa's performance was set in this match. As usual we saw a very poor performance from Salernitana. They made several attacks but failed to make a strong attack. With the win in this match, Genoa is now in 13th position in the table. Genoa is 5 points ahead of Udinese in the relegation zone.

Today's matches are going to be interesting with two matches, Australia vs New Zealand and Bangladesh vs Netherlands.
Australia Vs New Zealand
Australia vs New Zealand match today will be the most competitive match between these two teams as both teams will try hard enough to win today's matches. Moreover, if Australia can win today's match, it will certainly advance in the points table, but Australia may not be able to compete with New Zealand. I am saying from my personal prediction in the match today that New Zealand will definitely win against Australia.

The match is going to be held shortly. The match is very important for both the teams. Although the Australian team did not start the World Cup journey well, they won the last three matches against the Netherlands, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. And in the last match they defeated the Netherlands team by a huge margin of 309 runs. On the other hand New Zealand team won their first 4 matches but lost against India in the last match. But the match was very competitive. The New Zealand team will definitely try to continue the winning streak again by defeating the Australia team in today's match. Both New Zealand and Australia are in very good form. So this match will be very competitive.

New Zealand won the toss and decided to field. New Zealand have the potential to do well if the performance of the bowlers is controlled. New Zealand's bowlers will have to try to stop Australia before 300.

In the 26th match of the World Cup, the two biggest teams of the tournament will meet in Chennai today. South Africa managed to secure their position by playing the first five matches but Pakistan could not secure their position at all. South Africa is number two in the points table with four wins after playing five matches and Pakistan is number six in the points table with only two wins after playing the same number of matches. It will be a tough fight between the two teams today.

After back-to-back defeats, Pakistan will definitely want to bounce back in today's match. If Pakistan can't come back in this match today, they will be far away from the semi-final and if South Africa wins this match today, they will have a big chance of making the semi-final.

Between Pakistan and South Africa, the team that wins the toss is guaranteed to bat first as it is safe to bat first on the Chennai wicket.

The pitch of MA Chidambaram Stadium is not batting friendly. The average score of the first innings of this pitch is 227 runs. However, in the previous match on this pitch, Pakistan team lost to Afghanistan even after giving a target of 283 runs. Opponent of today's match South Africa team is stronger. I would say the outcome of today's match will depend on the performance of the bowlers. Pakistan bowlers could not do well against Afghanistan. If Pakistan's bowlers don't perform well against South Africa as well then Pakistan will definitely lose and lose by a big margin. Pakistani bowlers must do well if they want to win today's match. However, today's match is likely to be competitive.

Even though Chennai's wicket was a bit of a bowling aid, I would say Pakistan didn't score enough runs in their first innings. The way the game played in 36 overs, Pakistan could have crossed the 300 mark but the batsmen's extra haste saw Pakistan's total piled on 270 runs in the end. With no wicket in hand, it was unwise for Pakistan to bat in haste at that time.

290 to 300 runs could have been scored even if they could have stood on the wicket till 50 overs but Pakistan could not do that. The target for South Africa is 271 runs but I won't say that Pakistan bowlers are bowling very well as they have picked up four wickets in 26 overs but if you look at the current run rate it will be seen that South African batsmen are picking up 6+ runs per over. With enough wickets in hand and not too much of a target, the outcome of this match might go in South Africa's favour.

South Africa is really performing well in this tournament. Other than the upsetting loss against a very weaker opponent, which was Netherlands, I believe, they have performed really well against all the other teams that they have faced so far. And it is not any different against Pakistan in this match as well. Right now, South Africa needs only 28 runs in 67 balls. That should be really easy for South Africa, considering the fact that they still have six wickets in hand. They also have two set batsmen in the middle. No way south Africa is going to lose this match. And let's be honest that target was really not big enough.

That title looks like something else, Instagram never banned Bitcoin, only post related to Bitcoin we're banned on Instagram, and that's because of Instagram new ad policy that seeks to restrict the promotion of financial products and services that may not meet regulatory requirements.

The biggest issue with Twitter right now is it's now a social media platform where everyone can shill their crap projects and it's hurting the platform, if Bitcoin is allowed to be discussed, many people will be taken advantage of because many people will also start talking about the next Bitcoin that has the next x1000 potential.

We shouldn't feel concerned about this, because Instagram belongs to Mark Zuckerberg, and it's not the same of Facebook, I think he feels Instagram is special and no such thing should exists on the platform, but who cares? Bitcoin still prevails without the help of any platforms so it's all still good.

Twitter is not like other social networks and that is what makes twitter different, that is freedom of speech, what Elon always wanted when buying Twitter. Although there will be consequences if freedom of speech is not censored, it also has positive aspects if used to talk about other areas such as politics...Furthermore, social media means there will be many users from many different fields, not just crypto users. If you are a newbie and fall into a scam trap, it is your greed that has harmed you, don't try to blame social networks.

But I agree with you, I don't see any effect this will have on bitcoin, bitcoin doesn't need any support from these social networks. Bitcoin is trending in the world and those who ban it are only harming themselves.
