Yes bitcoin is made to be an international currency to be a form of payment, using a P2P tech with no central authority to act as a middle man. But bitcoin now is more like of an asset or investment to gain profit because of its increasing value due to people's speculations or investment, and it is extremely volatile for now to be used as form of payment. But soon when it's scarce enough maybe the price won't be moving like this much.

This is not new, even before the pandemic more and more gamblers have spent most of their time in the casinos, others are new to the actions, others are trying to stop their spending habit.
And it's really the expected case in the time of pandemic where most of the people are working from home and found their past time in some online casino platforms and eventually didn't realized that their habits are now too deep from what they're used to.
This case is not just in UK, but most of the developed countries as well. In two years time of pandemic, more people are addicted to it and others have recently started.

You shouldn't be worry because we won't be there anymore when that happens, so as long as we're alive let's enjoy the moment while the bitcoin is still in demand and the mined bitcoins are just less than 10% of the overall supply limit.
Yes the price in the future is indeed very high due to the scarcity of bitcoin, but we cannot predict the price as well as we can't next week or tomorrow. And if bitcoin bitcoin has reached its maximum supply then for sure there'll be another crypto who will replace it and be an another crowd people, bitcoin will become a legend and will become another regular commodity like gold and other precious metals.

Certainly 6 Billion in USD can't solve the hunger throughout the world, to think, there's no available amount to estimate how to solve the hunger worldwide. So instead of giving money to the people who are in need, why not give them a job based on what skills they have. In that way, we won't have to give them money to sustain their needs especially food because they can feed themselves already and even with their family from the job that has given to them and the best thing is they have a chance to lift themselves from poverty depending how they'll manage.

$6B isn't gonna sustain them for a week or two if you help those who need the most in USA, how much more if it's divided throughout the globe. And I don't like when famous persons are tweeting or announcing it publicly if they're planning to give to the poor, why not give it privately as long as your heart is pure. But still I respect for that good deed and mindset that he's willing sell his part on Tesla to solve world hunger. 

Nope, it really depends on you which altcoin do you have in your portfolio or hold, both long-term and short-term investment has it's own risk so it has to be dependent on how you handle your coins. Neither of the coins have the most risk because all of the cryptocurrencies have tailed with extreme volatility that's why we can't really know when we can make profit or gain, it is just a matter of research and study to forecast what would likely to happen in the future but as I said it's not like you can predict it 100%

Currently, I'm holding ethereum, solana and cardano because they're the most likely to give me competitive returns than the other altcoins. I keep myself from having 5 or more coins to avoid losses, this way I can give much attention to my coins (4max).

Well that's a good news for us the investors despite the Covid-19 plague there's a positive happened this year especially in bitcoin who have broke all-time high twice already this year.
Well I hope that 2021 will end with a huge positive news again and hope to reach another ATH, there's less than 2months left already and todays btc value is currently playing at a price of 62.3k USD. But yes I'm also positive that another ATH will likely to happen again, hopefully it's atleast $80k beyond.

Yes me too mate, I'm with you. Since Canelo is the type of boxer with a high IQ who spars light within the first 3rounds to test the opponents reach and strength and after that we can expect a blow-to-blow punches from the both fighters. For sure, this is a win for Alvarez and maybe too much for Caleb for now because Alvarez is in his prime and the best in his division, no doubt!
But I wouldn't so sure that this will end via knockout because as we can see that Caleb is really preparing and training hard for this match, my guess is this would go beyond 10rounds but the chances of KO by Alvarez is 65% in this match.

Trading and investing is both in a form of gambling, but with different approach. And it depends on the user's field of expertise and interest. Yes, trading does make you more money if you are indeed great in that field but if it's not, then investing is your option.

Traders are usally get more profits from daily to weekly trades but it comes with a high to extreme level of risk if you can't manage it well. And it requires certain focus to study the market and to be able to foresee what will probably happen along the road in order to avoid losses.
Investing depends on one's capability to commit something either long-term or short-term investments. Investing also can give you competitive returns but you'll have to wait depending what is your profit goal, also investing doesn't require much focus because it's a long-term commitment meaning you won't have to do anything unless your goal is achieved and it's the best option because it's a low risk.

So, in my opinion, trading will give you more advantage than investing and can make you more profit if it handled good.

Financial stability for me is to live comfortable and to have a job that can sustain me and my family in everyday survival in life without any financial problems and ofcourse debts, plus having some nice 2-3 passive income or source for our family's wants, needs and incase of emergency we won't have to worry about the financial aspect. And ofcourse to sustain any lifestyle we want.
I mean, frankly, we all want to be wealthy in different terms that can sustain our daily needs in life. Sure, we differ in a lot of aspects in life but in the end, money is indeed what we need in order to survive this harsh world wether we like it or not, that's the reality in life.

I don't think that they are selling in panic, atleast not all people. Some are just selling and ripping their profits instead of holding it because we have our each goals when is the best to sell, and when that goal is achieved then it's better to sell it than letting in sit to become an unrealized profit. There's always fear and anxious mindset who always thinks ahead in wrong direction that's why instead of getting profit, they end up losing their investing due to panic, yet we cannot blame them for being impatient.
And there are some who are committed to hold for long-term investment with a long-term goal.

I think panic selling is the right term for people who panic sell when the price dips deeply.

Yes, they are already ripping the fruits that they obtained in the last bear market and the others might still hodl it for another year.
But is it really possible that there will be a massive bull run before the end of 4th quarter? Because I think it's a bear market will appear before the end of 2021.
But if it's gonna happen then that's a good news for the crypto hodlers and investors, since hodling is the safest investment with a low-to-medium risk and 2021 is a good year for bitcoin and other cryptos, might be much greater if 2021 will end with a huge bang. Anyways, we'll see because it is already 2months left this year.

I think you misunderstood the bitcoin salary option, your salary will still be the same, no devation and no increase because let's say if your monthly salary is worth 5,000 USD then the amount of btc is the in thesame convertion.
It will only change its value due to markets volatility when your salary is on your hands.
I think it's normal for the employer to keep up with the inflation and give a salary increase especially for private sectors to make sure that their employee won't resign or leave their respective position. For the public sector, the delay of salary increase depends on the congress to approve the bill immediately.

So, basically Tesla's 1 billion USD profit isn't their goal yet because they haven't sell their bitcoins up to now, that's just an estimated profit by cointelegraph and unrealized profit yet.
That's why up until now, they're manipulating and encouraging more and more investors to take their part to maximize their profit even more. Even if we really hope that no one takes the delicious bait, it's already possible for the famous crypto whale to successfuly manipulate bitcoin again.

We can't deny the fact that Elon Musk has the most aces in his sleeve for now together with his bright mind.

Ofcourse boxing industry is also a money making industry that's why lots of fighters are now seriously making their name so that they can join the big leagues, and the promoter itself is making money more than the fighters I think and there will be a secret betting in their circle worth thousands of dollars I suspect, so it's very natural to go about the money from the crowd.

Casimero vs Inoue will happen in the right time, Bob Arum will make sure that it will gonna be a big fight and a big income. He's just teasing the crowd for now so that he'll know the right timing when to make this fight, yes it's really possible that it'll happen if Casemero would win this fight with a huge bang.

@Hobo66, what certain coins do you trade? I just wanna know some other coins and ideas that might get me interested.
Personally, I'm not a day trader because it costs me more time and taxes that are often not get me competitive returns, so I choose weekly trade so that I can balance my real life and give certain time to focus and study the market and think of my goal and best time to buy and sell. My strategy is trading up to 40% of my portfolio which give me gains that I liked than losses, and the rest is to hold and secure until I achieve my choosen time table.

One of the best thing I've bought with bitcoin is a motorcycle, and it is a gift for myself for my hardwork  way back November 2017. I had to sell my bitcoin in exchange for fiat because in my country, that particular shop doesn't accepts bitcoin as a form of payment. So I'll use USD for fiat reference in this case.

It cost me about roughly 1,460 USD (0.0038 btc) that time.

I'm with you mate, dogecoin now makes more sense than Shiba Inu and can give you returns but not big as you think than other coins ofcourse. This particular memecoin called dogecoin isn't gonna make its status now if not because of Elon Musk, that's why it's hyped and reached all-time high due to Elon's successive commitment and tweets regarding dogecoin.

Now, I would be lying if I told you that I don't have it in my portfolio. But, I only hold it for certain reasons and I'll sell it eventually when the value reaches my goal.

Pablo Escobar's eyes was set to only one competitor until he died and it was the Cali Cartel owned by Rodriguez brothers. This cartel was his only opponent and rival Pablo's Medellin Cartel in Colombia, Central America and South America.
There's also this Japanese Mafia, an organized gang who owns many legal and illegal businesses but yes cartels and mafiasc can't be in the worlds richest list due to morality and undeclared assets that's no one can fathom and estimate their assets.

Such strategy is needed by Crawford to avoid fatal punch from Porter, and because we all know that Porter isn't an ordinary underdog. It is just a precautionary measure.
He isn't afraid about Porter, he just want to land succesful jabs to gain points rather than box him toe-to-toe and look for KO slots. Crawford here have the speed and reach advantage against Porter, that's why he change his stance just to avoid Porter's heavy punch that could by chance results in his defeat. Currently, Crawford has a 76% KO rate in his whole career but for this match, I guess the KO rate won't go higher than 50 percent.

Proper time management isn't new to our ears to hear these days because aside from our main job which is our priority, we need to find another two or three source of income especially passive ones which is the best and ideal. Being here in the forum doesn't require much time except trading because we can post in our slack/free time or after working in office. As long as we have a time to spare, that doesn't keep us from making money from other jobs.

The best option is to invest in long-term commitment like bitcoin or other crypto currencies because such option doesn't require much time.
