That’s right, taking a step forward in crypto is a hard thing, and start accepting bitcoin which is a volatile thing is even scarier and doing that for your business will be something many people would be afraid of.

I understand that there are some, specially people here on bitcointalk do accept it easily and that’s understandable, but that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about something that would be beneficial to everyone who would be able to make it work in the long run. That doesn't mean that just because we accept it, it’s easy, it’s not because we are here and can't see it, at the outside world it’s still a very difficult thing.

This is what the government is afraid of though. I mean as a senator they can think whatever they want, but if they cannot reach the bitcoins of anyone, and everyone goes into bitcoin, then it is not going to be that easy for them at all.

This is what I believe would be a big deal for them, taxation is the key for any government to continue, and they do charge you tax when you profit from it, but if you hide it, and they cannot find it, that means they cannot tax something they do not know exists, and that’s their problem. Hence, senator or not, each of the government members, elected officials, need our taxes and bitcoin profits for sure.

Bitcoin, being able to both be store of value and also a payment transaction may make it unique on its own. I mean surely there must be "some" out there, but can you tell me something that both gains value and makes you rich and you invest into, but could also use for paying a cup of coffee?

Look at all the other investments we know, bank savings account, gold, real estate, stocks, whatever you can think of, they are not stuff we use to pay for a coffee, or look at things that you can use to spend, dollars, change, credit card, whatever, they are usable to pay for stuff but those are not investments. Bitcoin could be the only thing you can use together.

There are no scheduled events that will happen on this month so you might be right with that. Nothing extraordinary will happen within this month. There's also no battle between the bear and bulls because what I can only see here is that the bear is only raging continuously. There is is no signs of a bull yet. We can only say that the bull is here and it's fighting the bear when the price breaks over 30k usd or more.

It could be a sign that the price will act the same as what we have seen on September but don't worry because just like the saying says "best things comes from boys who wait". There may not be surprises this month but it'll come next month or so, that is for sure.

Predicting the future doesn't make you a profit because you may end up predicting it wrong. But, if you calculate when you should sell based on the price and not the date, you will end up with a profit for sure. I am not saying that I will sell it next year, or the year after that, or next month, it doesn't matter "when" it will reach where I need it to reach.

I always say that I will sell when it is high enough amount that I would be able to retire with it, and right now it is impossible to do that with bitcoin, but if I could earn more from altcoins that go to moon, then I will be able to retire when the amount is enough for me to retire, not "when" but "how much".

Leverage trading requires an understanding of the risks, that's the hardest part. Many people do not understand how difficult it is for people to make a profit based on such a low amount of chance to profit, there is a good chance that you could start trading and after just one minute you could lose all of your money.

So, you should at all times be careful about what you are doing, if you end up not caring about it then you are going to lose a lot more and that's something you should be careful about and newbies do not realize. Newbies do not usually know the risk that you would lose money in a single minute if you are not careful about.

There are way too many people who do that, and that's the reason why there are more people losing money on trading than earning. There is a minority that is making all the money, and a majority who keeps on losing, and if someone leaves, another newbie takes their place and veterans take their money one by one.

If you know what trading is like, and if you have a working understanding of the trading indicators and charts, then you will know what to do and you will be able to make a profit. However, if you are a newbie and just trade stuff because you feel like it, or you read it somewhere on twitter, %99 chance you are going to lose all your money.

This all is happening with few players those are involved in these all formats for long time now as time is running out we can watch few changes with mostly teams are having quality players for T20 and test format which are giving their best in separately which is good because in near future we can expect more changes with mostly big countries will have two teams and these could be done better justification as both could be able to give their best into their formats and boards needs to do one thing just give them salary packages which could be affordable for all as well.

Because IPL factor is surely having big impact and with this mostly youths are not interested in test and domestic cricket which is related to 3 or 4 days, and they love to have big contracts with IPL franchise which is more beneficial so if they are able to do these changes than surely we can bring good players in both formats which could be more helpful.

That was my fear, I mean merging is not the problem, the problem was what would happen after that? And considering what we have seen before, I was afraid that it would be a lot worse and we would have something that would bother us, like some glitch or bug or any type of problem where hackers would get hold of big funds and so forth.

It hasn't happened yet, which doesn't mean that it would never happen, it just means that it hasn't happened yet, but that’s still a risk that we have managed to postpone and that’s a good thing. If it happens 1-2 year down the line, versus it happening right now, that would be a big deal and it would cause a lot of trouble for sure.

Obviously it’s going to take at least a decade before it could be what it is advertised to be. Let’s face the reality that we are in a world where it is not easy to have progress in tech but also easy at the same time. How is it easy?

Well, the tech that has been worked on for many years keep having better improvements all the time, there are stuff that people started working on 8-10 years ago (like gpu world for example) and finishing now so you see a bigger and better improvement, while we are using 3000's series, 4000's series already started to worked on before 3000's were released. But things that are new, things that wasn't worked on, takes years, because that’s from scratch.

I am pretty sure that there are "anti-American" nations as well, hence why there is a slight truth that there could be some nations leaving dollar for sure. Doesn't mean it is these nations, it just means that there could be some nations and governments who hate America and could be leaving dollar as much as possible.

Looking at the treasury of many nations in the image, it is not shocking that some of them have lesser, plus there is still no situation where it is fully gone, it is just "a little bit less", it’s not abandoning levels of it at all, it is simply just leaving it aside for a while, that’s it. So, I would assume that there could be slight truth, not because it is not an anti-American source, it is, but there are anti-American nations too.

Spend less is a key factor that is a very tricky subject here. If you are living in an inflationary environment then you are going to have a hard time spending less, and if you do not buy the thing you want to buy right now, tomorrow it will be more expensive. I suggest considering debt as an asset and not a liability. I would suggest if there is inflation, then prices will go up, so if you make debt to buy something that you can resell later on, that would be a lot better in the long run.

It's not easy to buy things that you could resell higher because even if there is inflation, the thing you bought will turn from brand new from the store into a second hand, so buying second hand is better, that way it stays second hand and will go up in price even when you are using credit card or loan to buy it, you will resell for higher than what you paid for.

I think financial freedom means we are now free to use our money and it doesn't mean that we will now be rich once we embrace bitcoin with us although it is possible due to its characteristics. For now maybe the adoption is low but I believe time will come that people will know the importance of bitcoin. Many people are soon going to embrace it.

If we want to attain a total freedom then we must use a wallet which we own our keys or seed phrases. I think btc to become a legal tender is only optional because many countries or people are now using a btc despite btc on their place is not yet a legal tender and still they can be able to use it on almost anything. Shops which accepts a btc are still popping out.

That’s something many nations with weak currencies will end up doing, that’s a common thing and we need to realize that people are looking at other nations and using crypto as payment. Let’s be honest, 100 bucks may not be a big deal for an American, even a high school kid could earn as much as 20 bucks per hour at some pizza joint or whatever, and that means something that people in Nigeria would work days, maybe a whole week for, could be earned in a single day by an American.

That’s why it’s such an important task, and I would definitely look for it to be great and that way we would be able to consider it something that is profitable for all of us at the same time.

Plus, there is a huge community that follows bitcoin in there, which means that there is going to be something that would benefit everyone there since it would be ready with a community in the long run.

That’s going to be a key element because it makes people realize that they could at least populate the place easily and could make a good profit from it as well. Doesn't mean they have to change anything, it would still be a problem with the general idea of it, but if somehow there could be an island, population problem would be solved and that’s a good thing, all the other things needs to be still solved since it’s definitely a big problem for sure.

I do honestly believe that old projects that do not improve and keep up with the times going to always end up being worse. Why do you think that ETH being the second biggest coin of all time still trying to improve and change some stuff and constantly have the need to develop? I mean they could easily say they are second biggest and be done with it, but they do not, and they keep working on it, why do you think that is?

It’s because if you do not keep improving then you are going to drop eventually. Same goes BNB and same goes for all the others, they all try to keep on evolving at all times to become something much bigger than they ever before.

Most of the peoples are having no idea what they are talking and what is issue because they never understand beauty of the game right now as things are going for GCC it is surely punishable because I am personally feeling these things never been allowed you to are not having any player from native country and team is participating in big events like Asia Cup, and then they can go into World Cup it is completely nonsense but here ICC is doing all hypocrisy just because of few personal likes and dislikes which are never been good for the game of cricket.

Here many countries with native players are going to suffer badly if they want to do these things then surely we need a policy player which are living in country for four or five years they should be allowed instead of which are coming on visit visa and enjoying and the after few months they are not having any chance agree about this ICC is doing good jokes with this game.

One of the hardest parts that I learned while trying to be one was the fact that it takes so much of your time that you wouldn't even understand. I mean working is always hard of course, there isn't any jobs that is easy and entertaining so much that you would want to do it for free, all jobs are hard and that is why people pay you for it.

But having your own company means that you are going to work harder than anyone else, you are not going to just work at office and come home and forget about it, you would have to actually end up with something on your mind at all times. So, basically you are working 24 hours, even in your dreams, it’s really hard to live like that.

We are talking too much about this all but sadly no one caring about this because deep greedy pockets are having their own mindset, and they are doing which is suitable for them, I am also not in favour of this system because they need to be set this only host and defending champion can go through direct all others have to be done qualification pathway which is much better and bring some more entertainment but sadly who cares in ICC about this they are doing their own business with their own policies which are not suitable for this game.

FIFA is surely doing one of the best thing in their game just because of this they have enough success and strong system even many allegations are around them as well, but their system is still one of the best and giving good development to the game.

It is obviously a speculative thing but when you have little knowledge about how it works and you share your ideas anyway, that means you are doing that purposefully and you want to be right but you know that there is a good chance that you could be wrong. Sharing your speculations comes with a responsibility and that mean people will read it and even if one person is convinced because of it, then you are taking the responsibility of that persons profits or losses.

I know that people could get away with it saying "I just shared my opinion" but it's still unethical if you have no idea how any of this works. If you are a veteran who knows what they are saying and still fail that's fine, it's the newbies who make up stuff from their gut feeling that is the problem.
