As with any new technology, trust is an essential factor in its adoption. Cryptocurrency has faced a lot of skepticism and criticism due to concerns about its volatility, security, and lack of regulation. However, as the industry continues to mature and address these issues, people may become more comfortable and confident in using cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrencies have always been talked about in social media and I think they are already gaining more knowledge and doing research. For now, we can say that the adoption was slow but seeing a growing number of establishments who open their door to accept Bitcoin as another option for payment, is something overwhelming and can also affect others business organizations.

I couldn't find if there is a huge advantage to accepting Bitcoin but this will somehow give some comfort to our customers who are also crypto user/s.
Well, it is a least we are moving forwards to digitalization despite the risks.

Bitcoin as a digital currency has experienced an increase in price. There are some speculators who predict that the market will fall, but there are also many who believe that it will continue to rise.

I doubt if Bitcoin payment gateways truly have tye lowest transaction fee except when using lightening.
One of the major challenges with using Bitcoin as means of payment is the high transaction fee involved and these transaction fee most times if not all the time is actually paid by the buyer and let's just be realistic that as a buyer after purchasing goods at a said price, I wouldn't think it wise to make payments with my Bitcoin because of the transaction fees but I would rather trade my coin and make payments in my local currency, hence I'm saving cost .

I personally don't think using Bitcoin as a payment option will increase your profitability but rather I think it basically broadens your payment option for people who want to make anonymous transactions.

I no longer use sites that track mempool and current fees/byte to get your transaction in the next block. I use electrum, and I always use the minimum that they have at the time of my transaction and so far it’s doing well. Never had any delayed transactions and usually get my confirms in the next block or two. If I overpay on fees, I usually just let it be because it’s only a few cents at best anyways, so I do not feel the need to be bitchy about the fees especially when everything is already pre-calculated for me that still gets my transactions through the network.

Not controlled, I would say the crypto market is influenced by bitcoin. Bitcoin enjoys the perks of being the biggest and oldest crypto. But the crypto market is not entirely influenced by bitcoin. There are multiple coins in the market which shows a contradicting pricing pattern. But when it comes to other big cryptos, they are usually a follower of the pricing trend of bitcoin. But they are not controlled in any way!

Those who come and have the plan to invest should never think about investing in crypto as a sort of trial and error because I don't want you to lose your money. That is why before to start investing in Bitcoin or altcoins, we have to make sure that we already have enough knowledge about the market. In fact, it was a part of the investment plan, we have to study the nature of the market and all the things needed. A failure to do this will end up losing our money and of course, time.

Better we understand how crypto world, it is possible we commit mistakes but never make this as an excuse to quit unless we really don't have a plan to correct our mistakes.

You should never bag hold stable coins in first place considering how risky they are since they are all more or less centralized with shady companies behind the project controlling everything there is about the coins in and out of circulation. If you want to go out of the market then convert to fiat instead while only using stable coins when you have no other choice.

As for bitcoin price, what we saw was actually very common when a resistance is not broken (ie. $25k) and it is not a big drop as some people may think. It was retesting the support once again and so far it has not resulted in any actual downtrend (price is still at $20k that is the support).
Of course we have the negative news and the FUD to contribute to that fall trying to make it bigger and failing, so far...

Yeah, so when it comes to investing in altcoins, some investors get caught up in unit bias. They're all about buying a whole coin instead of looking at the bigger picture of how the asset is performing and what risks it comes with. I've actually seen a few of my friends and acquaintances fall into this trap and make impulsive decisions just because they want that full unit of the asset.

But the thing is, the value of an asset isn't determined solely by how many units you own. Just because you can buy a whole unit of an altcoin at a low price doesn't necessarily mean it's a good investment.

I remember seeing similar videos where people were offered an ounce of gold or a chocolate bar, and some people took the chocolate bar.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the general population.   

I haven't watched it, and I guess I probably won't. I will give them the benefit of the doubt but when it comes to unbiased views, these people are not the best out there. They're more of businessmen than visionaries, especially Zhao and Sun. I'm not even sure if these two are assets or liabilities to the crypto community. I don't know what they're preaching, but if it's the gospel of Bitcoin, they're certainly not practicing what they're preaching, not walking the talk. Andreas Antonopoulos is a world better than them.

If you have the power and rackspace, you could start out by hosting for others and use the profits to buy your own miners.
