"Not your keys, not your coins". I don't know since when the saying was born but it has been repeatedly mentioned in cryptocurrency communities.

It's bad idea to put your coins on centralized exchanges with custodial wallets (you don't have access key to that wallet).
It's bad idea to send your coins to centralized lending platforms (like Celcius, 3 Arrows Capital ie.). You don't own key and they can disable withdrawal, apply for bankruptcy anytime.

With this bear market and some disasters recently from Terra to Celcius, 3 Arrows Capital, it is very good time to learn this lesson and act accordingly. It is time to practice this lesson and protect your capital.

"Not your keys, not your coins". Practice it, before it is too late to save your capital.

Exchange hack timeline. Not all of them are real hacks. Some are scam exits.

Bitcoin may still be in a volatile market for a long time. How are you ready to dispose of your assets now? Would you like to buy and sell your assets/products/services for bitcoins? How are you ready to negotiate a price to make the deal go through?
Let's discuss assets, goods and services which price is more than $200 net. Inexpensive goods have already been discussed on this forum. For now, we will not take into account the fact that the use of crypto may be prohibited in one country or another. Let's find how we are ready to negotiate, and what tools we do need in order the buyer could find the seller.

Bitcoin remains to be adopted by every country in the world for various reasons. Here are my thoughts on why..

1. Government policies: Most government and financial institutions round the world seem not to want bitcoin cause of the financial freedom it gives to its users. They would want to control and tax the flow of finances of individuals and they probably fear the anonymous nature of its transactions. Some policies even go as far as criminalizing its use.

2. Scammers and fraudulent practices: Scammers have found bitcoin as a safe haven cause of its transactions being anonymous. Also, terrorist groups among other sources get funded by bitcoin also cause of its anonymous nature. Fraudulent practices and transactions are made with ease wth the use of bitcoin.

3. Fluctuating value: The value of bitcoin isn't steady as it rises and falls. The uncertainty in the price and value greatly hinders the general adoption worldwide.

4. Awareness: Nearly not enough effort on creating and spreading positive awareness on it as some government and individuals alike is hell bent on spreading negativity around and poisoning the minds of prospective users. People need to be aware and understand what bitcoin is really about and be awake to its uses.

5. Information hoarding: You could get lots of information about anything on the internet including bitcoin. But the internet can be misleading to newbies cause you could get right and wrong and also misleading information on the internet. It puzzles me that people with an in depth knowledge of bitcoin would purposefully hoard and keep information to themselves. You may think people don't hoard information but in reality, people do. It irksome just thinking about it. If people could share information, newbies won't readily fall prey to scammers.

These are my thoughts on what's preventing bitcoin from being adapted worldwide.

Wrong advice, telling people not to invest in projects that want to be like Ethereum is like telling people not to invest in Cardano, Avalanche and Polkadot, if you are one of the early investors in these projects you would have make a big fortune in bull market of 2021.

Hello Bitcointalkers,

In this thread, I will post all the relevant information about the game which we're building - Path of Survival.

We believe that traditional gamers are left out of the blockchain gaming space due to the highly demanding entry (crypto knowledge, wallet, crypto), which eventually turns down the everyday player, who is not familiar with blockchain.
The game is going to be free-to-play, with off-chain game mechanics and a chain-agnostic approach.

We are doing the "gameplay first" approach, which will allow us to build the necessary player base from Day 1 and simulate the game economy before releasing it to the public.

The game will feature a traditional RPG progression in the form of PVP and PVE content and once the player base increases, we will release the RTS mode, which will be a season-based mode in which players will team and compete for resources.

Our most unique approach is the team-to-earn mechanics in the form of clan lands, in which the owners will be able to onboard other members, decide on the governing model and receive passive income from the fees generated by clan members on the in-game marketplace.


Things such as team members, tokenomics model and whitepaper can be found on our website: https://pathofsurvival.io/


Here I will mainly post insights on how the project is developing and what are our imminent goals.

This being said, I would be happy to hear your feedback and general feel about Path of Survival.

The fight between Bitcoin and Ethereum dominance is very interesting to follow and we all know Bitcoin has always dominated the cryptocurrency market and for now it looks like Ethereum is getting closer to Bitcoin and Ethereum Supply will deflation decrease -2% a year after The Merge proof of stake later. Will a new king of the cryptocurrency market willcome?

It's too early for the bear market to be over, I am saying this because many think we have hit the bottom when ethereum made it to 900$, its not over and you shouldn't be buying coins with all you have, this is a fake out recovery.

Both airdrops and bounties are something anyone should avoid doing round the clock because its so time wasting, only three bounty managers make sense in this forum and all the rest are crap bounty managers with crappy projects, if you want a positive result from bounties its better to join those ones from bounty managers using escrow, for example Julerz12 and Brainboss. 

If you managed to earn more money from Airdrops than from Bounty, you are probably choosing your campaigns wrong. Airdrops are usually dust that is given away almost for free, and owners aren't interested in long-term growth at all. When it comes to Bounty Campaigns, it's also not easy to find an honest project, but if you do find one, I'm sure you'll earn more in the long term than with Airdrop.

I think Trust Wallet Token (TWT) has a good chance to go from 5X.

Let's do the math
Lowest price now is $1700 highest $4800 (approx)
Eth 2.0 will kill off 90% of its coin generation (triple halving).
A halving should in theory double the price.
A triple halving is 8x the current price.

So anywhere from $13600 to $38400 per ETH is a sane estimate.

I think your suggestion is very good, but the current Bounty is also not so good that every participant who wants to join it must also look at it carefully and even a good bounty is also very quickly closed so that late participants no longer have place and have to move to another again.
