If you have a bitcoin/cryptocurrency-related blog, you should be running affiliate programs in the first place. But to answer your question, yes lol. Just make sure what you're promoting is actually legitimate and not those scammy platforms/products. Yes, making money is great, but making money with morals/ethics in check goes a long way.

It's going to be pretty difficult besides blog hosting(Vultr, personally) and domain hosting(NameCheap, personally).
If you're looking for things like writing services, SEO, and such, you're going to have to work peer-to-peer if you wanted to pay with bitcoin/crypto I think.

"this would be very concerning if it was true"
Even if it was true, why are they even trying to paint it as if all this fiasco was all because of bitcoin/crypto lmao. All these kinds of crimes existed even before bitcoin, and even without bitcoin they'll just be using the typical fiat currency.

Lol it's going to take a lot more than $60 SOL (and whatever FTT's price is right now) for FTX to be solvent again — and take note, the SOL might've been slowly but surely being sold already. It'll take government intervention for FTX to be solvent.

Exactly what am thinking. Perhaps the core developers have decided that BTC should not be used for payments, but as digital gold and as a store of value. Only the rich BTC holders can easily make payment these days. Little amount of Bitcoin transactions on the blockchain is hardly made. The might still be the block size limit and something should be done about it. Am having a though that the price will remain high like this for some time at least till the ordinal hype of a thing is over and if they are reduce now we might be waiting hours for confirmations.
Even when we didn't have Ordinals, fees were quite high for payments purposes. As for Bitcoin Core, I wouldn't say that they don't want bitcoin to be for payments — it's just the fact that they think the base layer needs to be decentralized enough and easy enough for node-running. Their preferred solution is to have payments infrastructure on a different layer, though unfortunately none has been successful as of yet.

Why are people even trying to grow their accounts, when they can focus on growing their knowledge instead? I know signature campaigns are nice, but there's MUCH more money to be made if you actually know this industry inside and out.

Lmao even those "wall street standard" analysts get things wrong all the time. What the smart investors recommend doing is always to just go with an S&P500 index fund; in which, in crypto terms, BTC pretty much acts as the de-facto S&P500 because of its heavy influence over the overall crytpo markets.

Yea this is definitely one of those times where people get a bit too greedy and try to ramp up leverage — ending up getting liquidated by temporary dumps.
This is the season to just sit on your hands and wait, ladies and gentlemen. If you really want to trade just to scratch the itch, play with 1% of your total portfolio.

Yes, it sucks, but always remember that Bitcoin is NOT a finished product (and maybe it will never be because there will always be something to improve upon). Bitcoin's rise in both price and usage is something that would probably surprise even Satoshi himself. Scalability will be improved. It's just a matter of 'when'.

I couldn't really think of anything other than:
- swapping the USDT to ETH through Uniswap - mix the ETH through Tornado Cash - swap the ETH back to USDT
or if you just want privacy not from the authorities but just for retail tracking, then just use your preferred no-KYC centralized exchange.

Saw this Tweet by Eric Wall (a bitcoin personality). Based on his description, Sweden looks to be an awful place to live in if you're into bitcoin/crypto. there's now officially a situation in sweden
this monday, a middle-aged swedish couple was tied up in their home and robbed by 4 masked men. they were physically abused and threatened with their own kitchen knives. they were tied up for hours and one had to be escorted to the hospital via helicopter.
the purpose of the assault was to steal the couple's bitcoin
unfortunately, this is not a new occurence in sweden now. only last month, two well-known bitcoin/crypto profiles were targeted in their homes by masked, armed men
one of them had no physical bitcoin, but was physically abused for 3 hours. the other got away because only their spouse was home at the time.
the first time this happened was last year, one of sweden's most well-known bitcoiners had criminals break into their apartment
even though that person gave up a significant amount of bitcoin/crypto, they were physically beaten and abused for hours infront of their partner. that person was scarred for months and largely withdrew from public life after the assault
what appears to be common for each of these cases is that the victims had livestreamed a podcast about bitcoin/crypto days before their assault, or mentioned bitcoin in a public context
this situation is occurring because in sweden, you can easily search for any person's residential address and drive straight to their house. if you're curious, you can also search for their tax records, and find out exactly how much they paid in income or capital gains tax, and size them up from that
sweden is probably one of the least safe countries to be active in the cryptocurrency sector in at the moment. i've personally left sweden and i don't expect to return until the laws around personal privacy change.
"The Principle of Public Access to Information", known in swedish as "Offentlighetsprincipen" (the law that makes residential addresses and tax records public) is the main culprit behind this strangeness relative to other countries. while the intentions behind this legislation was to reduce corruption, it is not fit for modern society.

Thanks a lot! What about buyer reassurance?
Well, make sure that you're receiving what you paid for? Take note that by default, you can't do cashback through bitcoin. If you want to potentially get a cashback if it's the case that you received a fake item or something, use escrow.

Those can make it slightly tricky to track your funds by a very small amount, but it really doesn't give you any effective amount of privacy. Sure, maybe your neighbor's grandparents won't be able to track your funds, but any half-decent blockchain analyst would easily be able to.

Not the answer you're looking for but quite note that if you're going to use a centralized exchange, just use the big ones. You're taking too much unnecessary risk when you're using the small unknown ones (unless it's a local exchange).

Not really sure if bitcoin is ready to be called a "safe haven" and "inflation hedge"; it's technically true on some timeframes, but it's a bit too volatile right now for those titles. For now, it's still moving like a high-beta asset. But maybe in the future bitcoin can 'officially' earn those titles.

This won't help, as long as there is no users recommend stores who are "some reputable stores".
Aren't there actual reputable stores in the United States — in some states where CBD is actually legal? If OP has no access to these 'legal' stores then he will probably need to travel to the legal states or end up purchasing on the deep web.

Your prediction doesn't look realistic, because going by your prediction it means Bitcoin will be doing x400 or more which I can't remember Bitcoin doing such within such short period in it's last four years trading cycles.
Can you tell me which part of the chart states that bitcoin should be doing a 400x? Because OP literally said his prediction was $178,000 — which is only a decently-realistic 5x from current prices. I think the chart only shows the bottoms, not the tops.

7% for a stablecoin might be really attractive because most banks provide much lower, but you should also take into consideration custody risk — you know, from hacks. But personally, it's an easy NO for me. I'd much rather hold bitcoin through self-custody, even if it's much riskier(volatility-wise). https://chainsec.io/exchange-hacks

So you invested in bitcoin with the money you don't actually own, and not only without their permission, but against their will. Great job. You're probably the "illiterate" one in this case though, not them lmao.
