Pension funds typically provide investment options such as shares, property, cash and bonds.
1. Is Bitcoin likely to join the mix in the future?
2. Why is gold not usually available as an investment option for pension funds?
I think it will require reasonable amount moderation in price volatility and uncertainty for this to be accepted by most. In regards to the question on gold , i suspect they do that to be able to control the price and keep it affordable for industrial purposes. That shouldn't be much of a problem with Bitcoin, because it's used mostly as currency

I think that you can spend money on bets that you don't mind throwing out the window with ease. You must be ready to lose everything that you bet, because this is a very risky undertaking and in this area you need to be an expert in order to earn something.
What actually makes it very risky (aka gamble) is the amount of money or resources a bettor is betting with. If you bet with amount you can't afford to risk then you are taking big risk or you are gambling. A skilled/talented bettor who is consistently profitable would be taking less risk if he's betting with amount he will likely win than unskilled/untalented bettor betting with thesame amount even if both bettors have thesame amount of money their entire bank savings .

As long as people don't see them as real Bitcoin, and the "wrappers" don't take advantage of this to inflate the wrapped bitcoins and weaken the deflationary feature of the real Bitcoin It's better to use the real Bitcoin or use token backed bitcoin that's as decentralized/secure (or more decentralized/secure) than Bitcoin. It's not a good idea to have less of both for users of Bitcoin backed tokens.. unless the users run full nodes , and are also able to transfer the data associated with Bitcoin backed tokens back to its original Bitcoin blockchain/system. The wrap btc and similar services should be used with caution

A decentralized site using email? That's interesting. I wonder what the email addresses are used for. I don't think it's a good idea to use centralized email services for "decentralized platforms". I would suggest that decentralized ID system be used instead, assuming the site use centralized email address/service in place of kyc . Good decentralized platforms shouldn't depend too much on centralized platforms/services.

Well my boss is bad-ass so you can imagine what I have to go through everyday. Even slightest delay in the punch can get my day started with scolding. That's what motivates me to go for work on time and work hard. Lolz. Thats the truth but here it goes: My kids, wifey, parents and home that I need to keep together. This is what makes me work hard all the time. I have learnt one thing for sure, it's always bad idea to be comfortable (too much), or else you will be out of the track and can take you hard time to get back to good position. So yeah, for that and for happy life. Ofcourse... and if you go extra mile to love or care about everyone in the larger society or in the world, you would work much harder and can easily end up becoming the true leader of that society either directly or indirectly. People tend to prefer those who genuinely Love and Care about them to lead their society. So if we want to lead a society, country or the World. .., we also need to love and care beyond our families. Such leaders do very well both in society and family

Thought they use that phrase for centralized and substandard projects.
Anyway,i believe it's better to give all the opportunity to build any kind of good and useful project they want as long they do not deviate from important development standards, and they should build projects that do not compromise on important cryptocurrency ideals/principles like Decentralisation, Transparency, Immutability, Censorship Resistance, Privacy/Anonimity, Safety, Public Consensus, Deflationary Currency (more like inflation-peoof currency), etc

Intersting I wonder how feasible this is considerig other things it may likely try to bypass to serve any kind of ads without restrictions.Does it bypass fair rules used to regulate ad companies? And Can users who abuse their Anonimity with the service be held accountable? How easily can they be held accountable? I wonder how safe it will be if you can bypass lots of things without accountability
1. The product is not built to bypass the law. All the screens should comply with local regulations. Let me give you a key example: we have about 10K areas in the software, every area is roughtly mapped to a city and a country. In this fashion we now which laws apply, depending on the jurisdiction different disclaimers are show in other to ensure compliance (let screen operators know which ads can or can't be shown in their jurisdictions). Auditors and pre-auditors are local customers tasked with screen/ad review under the network's guidance. Meaning they complete basic training letting them know which ads are appropiate, etc. Beyond that we have social oracles (bots) than run on and off chain to prevent spam, foul languages, superlatives (for China), name targeting (to avoid diffamation), etc. We will launch with about 50 social oracles but I can picture it growing to nearly a thousand. Well, I think it's better to simply stick to Moral Ads rather than Legal Ads if you don't want yo be overwhelmed by the complexity of national laws or even get yourself in trouble in the future. Anyone playing on global level needs to strongly hold on to morality rather than legality especially when certain laws are unclear or doesn't sound right..unless they have the resources to defend themselves in complicated circumstances. And it's important to use those who actually understand what moral or immoral is and know how to use it properly to navigate through the complexities of national laws without really committing crime and getting themselves in trouble This is good advice. Thank you. Yes, advertising is a minefield, child protection laws, anti-spam laws, defamation, libel, it's quite complicated and variable across jurisdictions so we have to be careful and conservative as we scale. Of course. I would encourage you to base alot of the Ad Network rules on Natural Rights . .. that could get you safely far when playing on global scale. You just need the right people to help you do this properly. If you want to go the extra mile just base everything on true Love for humans, all living thing, society and most importantly the CREATOR. If you love the CREATOR you will hardly wrong, abuse or misuse HIS Creations. Anything or Anyone who wrongs , abuses, misuses this things get penalized. It's as simple as that. We humans have the Right to use animals and plants for food . We don't abuse them while doing that though. Rule breakers could lose certain Natural Rights and get penalized for committing serious crime.

Of course, that's the kind of images i got bombarded with when i was in the centralized mind-control systems/networks controlled by an entity with evil agenda. I remember coming back to my sense in those days and saying to myself if they could lie about alot of things around me that i experience regularly, they could be lying about these beautiful continents/countries they constantly potray in bad light. So ,i stop trusting the news and people who are often one sided and say alots evil/bad things about others. ..and started doing thorough investigation/verification before trusting Once you unplugged from the matrix or mind control system and start visiting and verifying such info by yourself rather believing what media controlled by a deciever feed you,you could be easily shocked and humble by the truth.

If you try what i think you are probably trying to achieve with your post (very interesting posts by the way), don't you think that will make early holders and those with lots of sats in the past very wealthy?
I think it also depends on how valuable new users would see 1000 sats for example. If you try to make the sats available to most humans in the world while Bitcoin network remains very userful, they could end up pricing 1000 higher than their actual value today and that would make early investors very wealthy. It could also make Bitcoin less valuable in price, depending on different factors like not scaling and not becoming very useful (and easy to use by most people...esp without compromising on its principles). I wonder what you think about this.

Sometimes i feel certain people who have suffered alot of poverty are always scared of being poor or are too obsessed with class thing (poor,rich, middle class etc)
If you ask me what neighborhood i'd like to live in even though i wasn't really born rich or poor, i will choose good rural neighborhood full of "poor people". This is wisdom for those who understand.
All cells that make up human body are living lowly or humble life in the body, once they start becoming puffed-up or prideful,they could become Cancers and start increasing in size, creating tumors and becoming problems to the body. Hope we know how cancer cells are treated by owner of the body.

I believe a game has to be safe and beneficial to players and society to be considered good. Besides, players really need to deserve the rewards they earn, else it won't be sustainble and monetary value will crash long-term...Better to reward people for solving real problems that are safe and beneficial to them and society.
Currently researching the game to understand it better. The fighting part discouraged me abit... Just need to properly understand how that part works too before passing my judgement. ..and that will also help me determine if it's legal/moral or not

Feeling defeated and hopeless is part of the problems. Once you understand that GOD really exist, our Earth is on a dangerous path to hell, the CREATOR of Earth has woken up people to warn humanity to repent and change their ways to advert the coming disaster, but people are hardened against the CREATOR and prefer to do things their own way.
Once you understand that a CREATOR of Heaven and Earth really exist and HE is currently using few humans as vessels to communicate with the World and asking humans to accept HIS Son (JESUS) who will save humans who believe in HIM from the coming evil and from the power of an evil entity called Satan, who controls(esp mind-control) much of humans living on Earth. The entity is deceiving those he controls to take them to hell. JESUS will keep people who believe in him safe in the world during serious crisis that will engulf this world. Once you focus on JESUS and ignore those in the world trying to make you feel hopeless and defeated, you will become stronger , nothing from the world can make you depressed, and whatever good things you ask JESUS HE will do it. The CREATOR is very real. I used to be an atheist until HE delivered me from it and the world ,and has taught and shown me things that will make you ashame of human knowledge and technology. Nothing could describe HIS GLORY and MAJESTY, not even our "religious teachings" could. The truth will keep you hopeful , strong , happy , blessed etc

I think one of the issues is the problem of centralized platforms holding users funds , transmitting money/assets without the required Transparency for tracking transactions and ability to resolve problems associated with these activities. Alots of these can be easily addressed in decentralized manner. Once it's addressed, government authority will have little to no reason to intervene unless it decides to break its own laws and that's when users can legitimately use crypto features like censorship resistance, Anonimity to defend themselves.
Build the right crypto tech or keep revolving in circle like fools

lf you truly understand the purpose of cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, you wouldn't be worried too much when governments ask centralized platforms to stop operating in their countries. A responsible person shouldn't be too reliant on such platform once they understand the risk involved, and anticipate possible clash with governments who most likely have rules governing financial sectors especially on the issues of holding customer funds , acting as Bank or resolution of issues between customers and banks.
Business should be building decentralized platforms that enable users control their funds/assets and take part in regulation/governance/consensus that's according to Just laws or any country/person on Earth would find Fair, Just and Satisfactory
Unfortunately,we have people building the wrong platforms based on wrong principles.

Guess it's better to stick with things you are talented in and enjoy to do everyday. When you don't do it for even one day,you don't feel very happy for that day or your day is incomplete until you do it

Will probably still be trading stock, commodity, forex, programming etc if the internet remained in existence. I have always preferred working from home because people were just weird, and i never really do well in crowded place or noisy environment.

You could alternatively meet people physically and trade person to person on safe locations. P2p transaction is actually one of the ways to use Bitcoin properly. I believe the creator anticipated this hence designed Bitcoin for decentralized/p2p transactions. Anyone who decides to accept Bitcoin should always anticipate resistance from traditional banks and use it correctly rather than in centralized manner

There is no such thing as zero risk in a world of uncertainty. It's best to encourage people to limit the risk as much as possible. Besides,your financial investment/time doesn't really go to waste if it's morally taken by new owners with your consent on a safe system What goes to waste is if the money is stolen/taken without your consent especially by someone who doesn't deserve it , or if the money is lost completely in an accident, used for something evil, squandered and can't be recovered.

You don't need to convince anyone as long as you are using the true/safe crypto. What will happen globally will most likely put critics to shame. They will probably try to change the true name of Bitcoin/crypto to something else to be able to handle the shame while using it in difficult times This is an important moment in history when people choose where they want to be before a coming hurricane hits everything. Alots are currently busy digging pits they could be buried in forever. Responsible people should not be prevented from choosing what's safest and best for them.
