Yes, but banks are heavily regulated financial institutions and have a fiduciary responsibility toward their customers, so it is not quite the same thing. What kind of insurance or financial protection can you provide?


For merchants, the main reasons to accept Bitcoin are that it eliminates the need to deal with credit card companies and reduces their expenditures on transaction fees. This is a pretty big deal, since credit card companies charge merchants around 2-3% in order to run their transactions, and as you can imagine, small businesses with tight margins often have difficulty making this extra cost up in price savings. But perhaps the most compelling reason that businesses should start accepting cryptocurrency payments is so they do not have to rely on third-party payment providers. Instead of relying on companies like Visa and Mastercard, merchants can cut out the middleman and process payments directly with their customers. This not only saves them money but also gives them complete control over their business' security. But if a business accepts cryptocurrency through a third-party custodial wallet service, they are still at the mercy of that company. This means that if something goes wrong with the security of their crypto wallet, or the company goes out of business, it could affect their business as well.

I don't know where you live, but I doubt that it is possible to sell (or buy) properties without some kind of taxation. No matter what form of payment you use. If your strategy to avoid taxation is buying/selling with cryptocurrency, you cannot avoid paying taxes. You can try to evade them, but that is illegal and I would not recommend it as you will most likely fail.

The government hates BTC and other cryptocurrencies because they can't control them. They want to control everything and make sure they get their cut, but Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that cannot be controlled by any one entity. This is why many governments around the world are cracking down on cryptocurrencies, but it is also why more people are using them. The more the government tries to control things, the more people will look for alternatives and seek out ways to protect their privacy when using digital currencies like Bitcoin.

OP, the best way to get people to pay attention to something is to first start paying attention to it yourself. If you yourself are not already invested in bitcoin, then maybe you should take a far look at it before telling other people how they should be investing in bitcoin. It will give you credibility with those that you speak with, and what's more, this method might even introduce you to the concept of blockchain technology, which is moving toward being the newest revolution in the world of finance. You should have a complete understanding of why you are using bitcoin in the first place. You need to educate yourself thoroughly, on the cause why bitcoin was created, and why there is such a demand for it.

Most people are passionate about the work they do and the cryptocurrency community is particularly passionate about their work. But there is another, simpler reason why this community can be especially unpleasant: digital currency has a lot of value, which means that shady characters are attracted to it. When there is money at stake, people can become more hostile.

In summation, the cryptocurrency community does have some bad elements and growing pains, but it is no worse than any other growing industry. There are still plenty of very smart and caring people in this space, but you will have to do your research to find them. It is also important to remember that in a market as unregulated as cryptocurrency, there will always be many con artists and fraudsters who use the popularity of bitcoin and other digital currencies as a way to line their pockets by lying or creating schemes that are built on lies.

I agree, it seems strange that they claim Nolimit365.com is a company founded in 2009, when its domain was only registered 30 days ago. If they are talking about a parent company other than the one that's listed in "About us", then it would make sense for them to mention the name of their own company; not just post generic bullshit. Also, it would be good to see their explanation about the Curacao license, if there is one at all.

Are you comparing Bitcoin to altcoins? If so, you are comparing apples to oranges. Bitcoin is not in competition with any other cryptocurrency in the same way that a BMW is not in competition with a Hyundai. Sure, they are both cars, but they serve different purposes.

Bitcoin stands alone as the original, first-ever cryptocurrency and will likely be used as a means of exchange for many years to come. While there are many altcoins out there today, none of them can compare to Bitcoin in terms of size and scope, let alone its security.

But in that case SFR10 is right. All payments are received on wallets that you manage (you own the private keys) and merchants get a custodial wallet service from you. This means that merchants have to trust you to keep their money safe. Right?

I think you are right. Besides the similarities you found, from what I can tell, it's clear that both websites were generated by the same software. The fact that they have identical HTML coding is a strong indication that they were created by the same person. And this is important because it shows that the owner of this site is likely someone who has been involved with 1xBit/1xBet.

For more evidence of this, check out the HTML code on each page:



Moreover, both websites share a main CSS file with identical code.


The same CSS is also used by "1xpartners.com"


I think it is safe to say that they were created by the same people. In fact, I believe that the two websites are part of an entire network, namely 1xpartners.com, that are all connected.

In the not so distant future, we might see that any price volatility is mitigated by blockchain technology, but that day is not here yet. As such, there are several different stable coins to choose from for added stability when purchasing cryptocurrencies. If you are looking for a way to hedge against cryptocurrency volatility, then you might be interested in integrating stable coins into your portfolio. For anyone who just wants to long Bitcoin, however, it is likely that holding Bitcoin directly is the better course of action.

However, there is still much promise behind these coins. The model works, it's just going to take some more time before any stablecoin offers Bitcoin-like levels of stability and security. The risks of holding the most popular stablecoins are well-known. Those risks include their centralized nature, their reliance on an outside institution to maintain a fixed exchange rate, and their susceptibility to regulatory actions taken against that institution. There are also the risks of their technology being hacked, a malicious actor taking control of the system, or simply failing as a result of poor code.

If you do not know, take a step back and think it through. Everyone is different, and your path will depend on your own personal situation and skills. Figure out your goals and aspirations in life. Does "be a investor in cryptocurrency" make the cut? If it does, then go for it. Investing in your own business is probably a safer investment. But, it is all about the mindset you have. If you believe in cryptocurrency and think it will be a viable investment option in the future, then invest. Just don't pour your life savings into crypto!

Some beginners want to get ahead without working hard and think that getting merits is as easy as snapping their fingers. This is not true. You have to work hard and put in the time if you want to get ahead in life. Merits are a reward for your hard work, not something that just falls into your lap because you are nice or good. It should be appreciated and respected, and it should not be taken lightly.

The reality is that these animals are treated as nothing more than commodities for gambling, entertainment and profit, and the suffering of the animals is completely ignored. Cockfighting is a cruel and inhumane practice that should not be tolerated by anyone, especially those who consider themselves to be humane and compassionate people. In fact, the National Geographic Society reports that cockfighting is one of the most common forms of illegal animal abuse in the world. The birds are bred, raised and trained solely for the purpose of being forced to fight each other in a bloody display for human entertainment. It is especially disturbing that some parents make such events family affairs, bringing their children along to witness these cockfight events and even celebrate the suffering of animals. In addition to being an inhumane practice, cockfighting is also illegal in many countries around the world. There are penalties for those who participate in such events, including fines and jail time. However, despite the laws against cockfighting and other forms of animal abuse, these cruel practices continue to thrive in some parts of the world, mostly third world countries.

I do not know man... I always end up feeling ashamed of the fact that people can treat animals so horribly, especially today I feel really sad when i see some people who just enjoy abusing helpless creatures. How many of you couldn't care a less about animal safety? You should be fucking ashamed of yourselves. Cockfighting is a pathetic blood sport that has no place in a civilized society. It is beyond cruel; it is barbaric. Honestly, there's not an ounce of sport involved in cockfighting – just a bunch of overgrown men yelling at birds to tear each other to death for the entertainment of their fellow sadists. It angers me to no end and it is disgusting that people can support this sort of thing.

I am in favor of this suggestion. @HunnyFinance, if you want to convince players that you are serious operator, maybe some transparency would help you to achieve this.

I just read what happened with your PancakeHunny (Hunny Finance) project in the past and it makes me uneasy to put my trust in a casino that you own. You claim it was a hack, however many sources online say it was actually a rug pull scam. Besides, if it was a hack, how do you explain that it happened twice?

I do not understand why everyone is saying that CZ started all this? If I am not mistaken, it all started with the leaked Alameda's balance sheet that revealed that the company's books heavily relied on a FTT tokens issued by FTX. It is simply a case of poor business decisions and managerial misconduct. CZ had nothing to do with that scandal, imho.

It is clear that Litecoin has what it takes to advance in the digital currency market. Its technology rivals, and is sometimes even better than, that of Bitcoin. By offering near-instant transactions, a strong track record of stability, and a familiar mining process, Litecoin shows the world that it can work as a cryptocurrency. It is being accepted everywhere, it has unbelievable potential for growth, and there are so many great innovations coming up in its ecosystem. I do still like Litecoin and I think we will definitely see it rise again once its gains more traction with merchants and is adopted more directly by users.
