One should understand the fact that this is theory.
When we talk about practical application, we would know that, corruption, bad government, people they all have tons  of influence on this thing. Plus we cannot really evaluate world hunger in that way.

Elon Musk might be willing to, but how does he plan on getting the money where it's supposed to be ? That's the whole point. Plus at the same time even though what's already already given to countries and the UN is way enough but the reason the problem is still there is they are not able to solve the corruption and get the whole thing coordinated.

How about Elon Musk gives this much? We all see where it's used since he uses bitcoins?
Plus they make the transactions private and we can see where it's going, to the exact place and person. But would they do it ? I don't think so.

The reason why it's not a good idea for nation states to hold bitcoins, is because they might try and influence the market in their own way, the illegal activities especially with Taliban might be problematic for the long term. I do hope they don't try and hold bitcoins since it would cause troubles for the long term.


At the same time the whole idea of putting a strong nation in charge will cause troubles as well. There is no single reason to believe they would be fair.

Smart contracts are an amazing idea.

The people in Afghanistan should try and hold some bitcoins though, it would help them a long way since the government is basically done for they would get a backup and would be able to earn profits as well.

A complicated situation here let's see how it goes.

I think this might be positive and negative both. For example when we talk about the negative side :
There is always a fear of manipulation

When we talk about the positive side :
We might see many more banks and centralized exchanges coming forward to doing the same making the crypto market and the whole centralized banking system more integrate.
Which could provide us with better results in the future, faster transactions, stronger connections and more approvals from other sides as well. This can increase the scope of cryptocurrencies. The people who are already engaged with the banks will have advantages in lieu of trading etc..

This can be a mutualistic relationship between the two of them and can go further for a really long time. Therefore I think this might be really good.

Today : November 2nd we are actually seeing a positive growth, like right now if you analyze the market I think it's not bad for the overall health of Bitcoins.

That's just how investments work, when the price rises people usually sell their holdings for some money and when the price goes down it's usually balance by other, new investors, therefore if we are talking about this situation here, it's not at all a bad one, it's pretty normal.

As you can clearly see that the price bounced back up and soon enough we might see bitcoins hitting heights in 2022.

Plus people are rolling their investments in futures as well. The companies also sell something like micro futures as I have heard.

It's nothing to be worried about, it's a healthy market chart.

This is going to make crypto mining more sustainable in the near future. Since people would start using more renewable options, they would have to invest first though but it pays off usually for the long term. It might be a challenge for a small individual miner but let's talk about things that can be done :

1. People can evaluate their country and the renewable sources of energy that might work for them, for example in an area which receives a lot of sunlight, the best one would be solar energy

2. This would give them efficient options for the long term and they would be protected as well from pandemic and unexpected situations.

3. This would also be a positive impact on the overalls situation of mining etc.

The G20 summit is not just about climate though therefore I do believe that in the future they can crack down regarding bitcoins and can end up making things hard for the users.

Probability of China doing it might be zero right now but I do think we don't really need China to actually unban bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies, their mining as well, since at the end of the day, There is always a fear of them trying to manipulate the whole market, which can be detrimental to the whole system.

Plus the media in China portrayed it to be super negative as well, they did say things about it being a tool to support illegal/criminal activities and at the same time a threat to the people's asset. Which I do think shows their outlook on whole virtual currencies.

At the same time they do need popularize their own digital yuan.

Considering the situation with non essential factory shutdowns, the government might now be so adamant on keeping the cryptos on the bay and letting them in so soon, maybe in the future when it might become a necessity they might reconsider but right now for the time being FUD's needs to be ignored.

I do think we missed out something here:
"Investment in your education"

People who understand that even though education takes time and effort at the end you might end up in a 9-5 job but whats needed is you to realize, what you are good at and what separates you from the crowd ? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Then you spend your time harnessing them.

Money definately cannot give you all the satisfaction in the world, its needed to do a lot of soul searching as well, things needs to be taken care of in emotional sector as well and there is one quote that I wanna share, I don't remember when and where I read it but it did hit me :
"If you love your what you do, you don't work even a single second of your life, you enjoy it"

I do not understand this concept at all. If you are waiting for it that means you might not be financially ready for it, therefore buying a house in a very expensive place might mean you would have to compromise on many other things. There are places where renting is cheaper for long term and buying a house would need a lot of other things, might not be too easy for a lot of people as well.

I think it's wiser to look for opportunities and investments that would grow eventually and would not just be a burden. Buying a car would mean that you are investing in something whose value will decrease overtime and if you do invest that money in someplace else like bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies, you can keep making long term profits.

It's not just being in a haste it's more about choosing things which are right for you and for your financial situation at that moment.

Undoubtedly the future of Bitcoins in India might be rewarding. Even though the data might not be correct we can be sure that the government, if they did support bitcoins and backed them up, sooner or later India might top the charts.

The data is highly inaccurate but we can always express great joy on it being a topic of *Indian government bans bitcoins* to *India growing enormously in lieu of cryptos like bitcoins*.

I remember when I was in India and bitcoins were banned, I still held onto my coins and so did a lot of others and soon enough government realized the tax opportunities and also the opportunities for growth and how they would be lagging behind if they would not support bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies and they lifted the ban. They are still far from being fond of cryptocurrencies but for sure they are taking positive steps in that direction.

Some data :

{ In terms of percentage of total population, but if we do calculate the numbers, India does have highest number of crypto owners }
Source : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.livemint.com/market/cryptocurrency/india-has-highest-number-of-crypto-owners-in-the-world-at-10-07-crore-report/amp-11634110396397.html&ved=2ahUKEwiGvLuxyvfzAhUDmYsKHQSsAMkQFnoECAQQBQ&usg=AOvVaw281-CsolZBGsc9cDahNEXa&ampcf=1

The pandemic have been an extremely stressful event for the world and most people are having problems regarding jobs, money or something else or the other. The government has started implementing regulations in a way that it would not only profit them, but they are also gaining a lot of money from various activities and on the top we have Gambling.



Now why the evaluation of data is important?
-It might provide an insight into how the government's laws are changing the way people Gamble. Which can be used to do research on various matters like gambling Addiction.

It can not only be used by companies but government itself to provide better laws.

- 63% gamblers noted an increase in time spent gambling.
- 62% said their gambling habit remained the same despite the laws being more losse for some areas
- 12% reported an increase in their gambling habit



Not only that the reports go deep so as how people took the personal experience.



I hope this article can provide an insight for the safe gambling awareness week and could highlight the main events that we might have to encounter and understand.

Correct me if am wrong, but sometimes it's not the expert making the decision for you, actually it's you who will make that decision. You have to decide if you want to bet on the market going up or down ? Plus sometimes what happens is unfortunately the future price at the expiration date is much lower than the spot price, which can put you in a tight spot, therefore to ward off backwardation one has to realize that, it would be better holding your own coins ofcourse.

But then again you don't have to own a wallet or even hold bitcoins physically all you have to do is trade in cash and I do think for some people it's more comfortable, but I would still suggest you to hold your coins yourself and trade when the price is high.

Now talking about the website :
I have not heard about the website yet, therefore I tried to do a little research.
They have a good trust score
They are not very famous

So investing in a trading and finance group that is actually very popular might provide you with additional benefits and competitive prices. I think you might try and go for some other company or website or maybe someone else know about this one ?

A Mastercard is a payment processor which works with banks and other companies and provides payment Online through many options, when we talk about them integrating with cryptocurrencies we have to understand that they won't be as easy since it would be more focused on the banks as well.
The banks would need to allow the payments as well, it would be more of a matter of adopt rather than the Mastercards themselves, therefore I do think even though they might agree to let the cryptos through they might have to think about how to integrate these payments with the banks itself.
Therefore as I see there will be three layers here :
Government
Banks
MasterCards themselves
Therefore this news is quite good but it cannot by itself make the payment option better for cryptocurrencies, it's more or so a little push from their side.

When we talk about cryptocurrencies, we have to understand the fact that there are some like bitcoins and Etherum and these cryptos are already integrated with some of the countries on a very deeper basis and in come countries it's also legal tender therefore they are very close to getting an intrinsic value settled down. I do think you have to also address the fact that:
Volatility is decreasing day by day, like before we could have been fluctuating around 5000$ or so but right now if something like that happened the price would bounce back up faster than anything, there are people waiting around to buy at the right time.

Therefore the more it gets famous, the more legal it gets and more other things gets integrated with it, it would attain a faux intrinsic value, for sure.

The fluctuations would decrease for sure if it gets recognize all around the world, if bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies starts becoming a legal tender, it would be more or so like gold but more volatile, but still have enough value to be taken into consideration.

Players who play dice have few reasons and strategies for the long run, if you do decide to play something else, like slots and other games based on luck then am pretty sure it would be based on what you *enjoy*, one simply cannot compare these games.

Well for me I do prefer the dice for the following reasons :
1. I can change the bet amount
2. I can handle the percentage of risk that am taking


Which game to play is solely dependent on :
What you enjoy?
What you are good at ?

Therefore one cannot complete in the market, the games are different as well for different platforms therefore, this is a matter that would depend upon players.

Slots can be fun as well, plus the penny slots have higher chances of you winning as compared to dollar one's so if you have patience then you can go for them and it's good every once in a while to enjoy.

It's all dependent on the experience you enjoy.

The way you use Bitcoins is almost completely dependent on you, if you do decide to Hold or if you decide to use it as a currency, it's all your decision and therefore at the end of the day if the person is holding it, it's not making it a pyramid scheme, the person is just investing like any other form of investments, when you hold stocks, when you hold gold, it's still the same isn't it now? Therefore we cannot really put the blame on bitcoins now. What we do have to see is how living on Bitcoins can be seen from different angles, some people can use fiat while keeping bitcoins as an investments and there is this family living on Bitcoins, travelling using bitcoins ( you can read about it here : https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/08/11/bitcoin-family-hides-bitcoin-ethereum-and-litecoin-in-secret-vaults.html )
Therefore there is not one right answer, it's how you decide to live your life, which I do believe is extremely personal and is not wrong. As long as they are not using Bitcoin for all the wrong reasons and for the illegal things, I do think it's more or so good.

I have a similar request, I tried to inform you on the telegram group as well. It was a pleasure working with you on the campaign (Betspider), the payment was always sorted out and everything was always done in a proper way, thank you for the 3 weeks, they were great, I hope I do have the pleasure of working with you in the future as well.

Thank you
Have a nice day

Rebranding would not work until and unless they solve the issues that are already happening within the company, one have to understand the fact that privacy is a big issue for most of us and thus if they couldn't even take care of that sector then how could changing the symbol to infinity?? Or changing the name of the company work?? I do believe they should take responsibility of what they have done, keep the same old name and make improvements first.
Their business model is still the same old one, it being slowed down a couple of times is something that showed how bad they are struggling, they must be investigated first since we do not know how deep rooted their probelms are.

The analysis if ofcourse right but may I point out :

- The price is rising every single day then it's attracting more companies, more investors and therefore it's making things bigger for an investment like : Bitcoins
Therefore at the starting it might be normal people in the market or computer geeks or some young people as well, but now companies like Tesla, Microsoft is showing interest and getting involved in their own way.

The more the price is, the more their value would be, the more it would be accepted in the market therefore its going to balance out the price difference and at the end it might even go faster if advertised in the right direction.

The value is dependent upon a lot of things, for example: A country made bitcoins legal, now what ? More people would keep it as an investment, especially people of that particular country and thus we can't really balance the value on this particular fact.

Answer to your first question :
*Everyone*
Explanation:
During the pandemic the government of most countries are in a tight spot and also at the same time there are many things which they can profit from and one of them is cryptocurrencies like bitcoins, online gambling is emerging as a new market, one in every 4th person in the UK is a doing online gambling, what else could you get more profits from ? Taxation? Revenues? It's all something that the government looks for in profitable sector. What we should be worried about is a *fair tax* since at the end of the day in some places the tax is as ridiculous as 64% !!

Now your second question:
Whenever we talk about KYC being asked etc.. why do you think all of this exists?? Well people are being tracked by the government most of their lives, most wallets needs to be in with the norms or they will be banned therefore the wallets you do use, they are forced to supply your information indirectly in the database. Your taxpayer ID is usually connected to your bank accounts as well and any +/- would be seen as it is.
