PayPal finally accepting Bitcoin is good news, but there is a question I have been asking for long, and since this PayPal cryptocurrency doesn’t work in my country yet I keep asking whether people can as well send the cryptocurrency they buy to other people no matter the wallets they are making use of; let’s say sending Bitcoin from your PayPal wallet after purchase to a BitPay wallet, is that going to work?
Or is it just buying and selling and holding till you’re ready to sell again? I pin my hopes on more of these happening in the future, really good.

New projects that gives away this type of bounty usually do not do it because they are giving free money and they are charitable organizations, they do it because you help them get more known, the more they have people who hunt for their bounty means there is more people who work to get their name heard, and the idea is that if they give away free tokens but get heard enough that during their pre-sale they get a lot of funding, they would be able to cover that difference and make a profit.
Also these teams got these tokens for free, they created it, so it is safe to say that they are not losing any money neither, they are just giving away something free and claim it worths money. So at the end of the day, bounty programs are not there to help you, it is there to help the projects.

Honestly we are at around half a trillion dollars in marketcap right now. At our peak in 2017 when all alts did ATH (even though bitcoin is close to its ATH, alts are very far away) we were over 1 trillion dollars as a marketcap. When I google what is gold market cap is, it shows about 9 trillion dollars right now, let's say 10 to make it sure.
Crypto world going 20x in the future, and 10x from its ATH doesn't seem that unlikely, obviously gold will go up during that period as well but as we all know gold doesn't grow that quickly and while crypto makes a 20x increase as a whole, gold would probably make 20% at the very best case and still wouldn't be too far away. I say crypto currencies as a whole could pass gold in the next 10 years, not just bitcoin but all market obviously because bitcoin is just half of it, which could pass gold as well but would take a lot longer.

I placed a bet with sportsbet.io on Biden to win the election. They have paid me out my winnings.
I had one on Biden and it was settled too. I also had some small bets on states like Georgia where the counting is going to be done again so those bets are rightly pending on sportsbet.io and I don't care much and don't even check them now as they are small amounts and I made those for fun. It’s good to know in advance of the next elections which bookies pay up fast and which don’t.
That is so true and now we know where to bet because from what I have seen and heard, stake and sportsbet.io have been really nice and stake even took a step forward and they haven't settled Trump bets as lost yet in case he somehow comes out victorious. I have some sympathy with other bookies though because the elections are so confusing this time and not every sportsbook can take the loss, which for example stake might have to face in case Trumps comes out as winner at the end.

Before we talk about this PayPal adoption bitcoin and to offer services of cryptocurrency to their customers, let’s not forget that Square Inc.
Was the first that started it, so I believe that PayPal might have noticed their move and other companies that were moving to the Blockchain and cryptocurrency platform so they decided to also do the same before they are left behind, so it’s something that they must have done. Their move did boost cryptocurrency I believe, but whether they took this action or not , I still know that the bitcoin I know will continue running up, we saw it coming.

Doing bounty now is not very a good time to join, lots of people join so the allocation got nrw divided. Also lots of rug pulls going everywhere makes your hard earn bounty useless same as airdrop
Yeah, most of the coins you get from airdrops now days are useless and the same can be said for the coins being given in the bounty and sometimes they do not even send the coins because the whole project is messed up and they decide not to pay anyone. I would wish there was a platform made for token distribution and management of bounties because right now anyone can create their thread and start a bounty and participants will join without any due diligence and promote without even knowing if they are promoting a scam and at the end they wont get anything apart from empty promises.

The fact is Escrow only guarantee your rewards but the tokens can still be worthless, you still need to choose wisely before promoting any project, don't jump in just because it's escrowed, for me I will sti choose bounties from top bounty managers like bubbalex over escrowed bounties, it's not 100% important for me
but at least we can get tokens from our work as long as we support the project, instead of working but not getting anything, and it could be that our tokens are not valuable now but in the future it can provide a surprise. One point that I agree with your saying, do not only see from Escrow but also see the potential of the project I always consider a few points before jumping into any bounty programs that are paying in tokens. If all the conditions are met then I put myself into it else I just don't join them. -Would I invest in the project: I always consider reading the project and if I would have invested in the project then it means I should join it otherwise i am just working for worthless tokens. -Is the bounty giving away too many coins: If the bounty program is spending too many coins most of the time big dumps will happen when it lists on exchange and becomes worthless by the time dumps stop. So, these are some points I consider before putting in the hard work and earning their tokens.

I don’t see an impact in the gambling industry in the US election. The only affected at the moment are those who bet who might win between Trump and Biden, as Trump is eager to do investigations and not ready to concede and step down. On the other hand world leaders already recognised the victory of Biden over Trump, goodluck to the United States with their new leader.
He has forced manual recount of votes in some states as I heard some news regarding that in states like Georgia the counting of the votes will be done manually. I do not understand why Trump cannot accept his defeat gracefully and at least save the image that is being created right now in other countries as comical. Everyone is laughing at US and their system right now. People who had bets on this election will finally get all their bets settled by January 20 as I was reading some article that on 20th Jan the new president takes the chair from the previous one so not much of an issue for bettors apart from the painful wait.

Gambling could very well turn into a sickness, it could also be something fun but if you do not know how to have fun with it, it could turn into something very bad like what happened to this boy. However we can't stop these type of things happening neither, as you might know even when it is illegal to gamble, people find ways to gamble anyway and they keep betting no matter how dangerous and risky it is to gamble when it is illegal.
So, we are talking about something we can't stop, you can try to educate these people for the risks of gambling from young age, however during young age words like "dangerous" and "risky" sounds like cool things, and young kids try to do cool things, so you create a dilemma while trying to teach how bad it is, they might want it more.

First of all I want to say that we are all aware that such is not going to happen.
But, since you said it’s an imagination, well then let’s just imagine that the government chooses cryptocurrency Bitcoin as the main currency, first I don’t think that they are going to leave it to have a limited supply, they are going to make it be like fiat; it is going to become something that they themselves can control and print/mine at anytime they want, and it’s no longer going to be miners mining the cryptocurrency and devs determining how many coins we will have.

If it’s really effective then they should go ahead with distributing it across the world so that countries can start to vaccinate those people that has not been infected, at least that way we will know that the virus won’t keep spreading , and we can then know that the people that are left for us to tackle are those that are already having the infection and we will just focus on them until they are okay and everyone will go back to their daily activities.
This Covid-19 has ruined a lot of things by causing countries to go for lockdowns, and economies are being crushed.

Both, anyone that you think is going to work, you should just do that and know if you’re going to benefit. I have not tried this staking of a thing before, but the way I thought that it worked before was that when you stake your coins, you’re still going to be making profit if the token or coin you’re staking is increasing in value , alongside that you will also be getting the normal rewards maybe for confirming transactions and things like that. Then as for investment you invest and wait for the profit right?
Or am I missing something on that staking part? Investment is a better option for me depending on what kind of investment.

This kind of feeling should be eliminated because it will affect your future decision. When you put emotion in gambling, you'll never be consistent in the long run as eventually you will lose your focus. Believe me, I've been there. I believe you because I've been there too. The feeling of excitement in the match will always be there, no matter we realize it or not. But we need to manage our emotions and don't let it ruin the excitement. When we gamble with our friends, losing or winning will not be a problem because after the match ends, we can have fun with other things. Sometimes, after the match, we go to a cafe, and the winner buys a lot of drinks and food to celebrate his winning. I miss that moment when we gather in one place after watching the match. That is why sometimes people consider online gambling to be more addictive as compared to gambling among friends and even at a local bookie because the process of placing those bets is tiring and you don't get stuck in just betting. While online betting is so easy and there is just a click to make bets and you forget to enjoy the process unconsciously and start caring about wins and loses and the results. I used to enjoy soccer a lot but I realized when I bet a lot I stop enjoying and just was concerned with the result which was not a healthy habit so I started to lower my bet to smaller amounts such that I can enjoy the match and the bet is only an additional element not the only reason to watch the games.

The multi bet is something that interests me, so I prefer the multi bet. Indeed, a single bet with lower odds might be said to be a safe bet, although I realize in a bet it is not possible to be 100% safe but at least, if we bet single at low odds for me personally it is a safe bet. It's different if you bet multi by only placing low odds, it will still make you slip like the picture in the OP and this happens often for me personally. Actually high or low odds, multi or single bet is a choice and anyone is free to choose but for me, I would prefer to look for high odds by means of multi bets and not single bets with high odds.
You look for high odds and that is actually the sole reason why most of the gamblers are making multi bets or parlays because they pay high by accumulating small odds and stacking them into a multi. The problem with multi bet with me I always pick 3-4 good games then I add some unknown matches with low odds just to increase the odds even more and those unknown bets are often that betray me and become the reason for my loss. I also like bet builder feature recently launched by SB actually because I can make multiple selections on the same match and make a multi which is not possible on other sites yet and hopefully everyone adopts that system soon.

It is unfortunate but the truth is that the workers don't want to lose their jobs and it is everything to them even if they are taking paid leaves at least they maintain their job and casinos know that even if they pay less salary they will still retain their workers and they are taking advantage of it. This is one reason I always rate businesses higher than service/jobs, I might be a bit off topic but that's the truth.
We also need to understand that not just the workers but even the casinos are suffering as they have lost significant number of players so while I have all the sympathy with the workers but times are tough for everyone and making someone look like villain is not doing the justice to them.

I was wondering the price may go up if Biden wins, fortunately there was no changes and I came to know that American election didn't had any impact on crypto currency.
You know, the result was official later but the winner was already known for days so you can't expect the price of Bitcoins to change suddenly when the winner is announced officially. I mean for days Biden was ahead and even though Trump was trying his tricks by saying the votes are manipulated and the counting was manipulated but everyone knew it was time for Trump to leave. So, maybe the price of Bitcoins that saw a hike during election results process might be because Biden was the winner quite clearly and trump never moved ahead of the 214 mark in terms of electoral votes.

If I would think in a negative perceptions, that's a human reactions to feel bad while altcoins didn't soar higher. Seeing only bitcoin grows rapidly within a week of price changes. Hopefully, we will acquire great value for our old sleeping holdings. Patience is a long journey for all of us, and I couldn't afford to wait for another five years to see my altcoins collection to establish a profitable value.
Actually altcoins are also doing good but not in terms of ratio with bitcoins. I mean if an altcoin was 10 USD earlier it would be 10 or maybe even higher in USD but when you compare it's value with Bitcoins the coin will look like it dropped in value because when Bitcoins jumped up not every coin was able to follow it up with that. A lot of traders are trading Bitcoins now because the market is experiencing a bull run and when there is a stable market or slight bear run in Bitcoins then people switch to altcoins because that is the best time to buy them.
