I imagine Countries all over the world adopting a national strategy with BTC,

the only challenge would be the scalability of Bitcoin. As the network's user base grows, there's a limitation on the number of transactions processed per second. If Bitcoin were to be widely adopted as a global reserve currency, managing a substantial transaction volume could pose a challenge.

Perhaps a bit obvious, but the interest in Bitcoin from Suriname’s public officials comes from the growth that El Salvador is experiencing, a country that made Bitcoin legal tender in September 2021.

The goal is to make the country take a leap in quality in fields traditionally not
associated with the country, such as finance and technology.

Not only that, Santokhi would like to improve the life of his people and the ability of Bitcoin
to store wealth for the future and its potential for financial inclusion are promising for the
smallest country in South America.

Let's be real here. Hamas isn't the main concern when it comes to crypto hacks. And targeting pro-israel countries isn't same as targeting CEX:es or DeFi for random users. Or having wallet drainers in web pages that are being constantly shared in every crypto community. I feel like putting my tin foil hat on this as all they have is one example of Delhi businessman, yet they and OP are seem to see this as a major threat. While actual crypto hacks are a multi billion dollar industry happening world wide. And my educated guess is that worst groups are far from Hamas. Also there's the fact that they can launder the money as much as they can, it's getting harder and harder to cash out any significant crypto amounts. And in the future that's most likely impossible.

That being said. Everyone should keep their wallets safe. Not because of Hamas, but because you don't keep your door open, or give control of your bank account to strangers either.

The Eagles took home AED1 million ($272,305), while the Kites bagged AED500,000.

Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, Sofia Kenin and 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva claimed

We refer to that day as Boxing Day. E.g. in cricket, Australia usually has a "Boxing Day test" with which ever team is visiting over here at this time of year. (I'm usually sleeping off the Christmas cheer from today's festivities) 😁🎄☃️

The three bets were between $1.6 and $1.8 so I covered the three bets with two wins.

That is because of the influence of technology and social medias. People are flaunting, flexing what they have this time and this gives you the pressure and rush to achieve necessary things because of your insecurity. I'm not saying you actually but it is for those people that have been reliant on the opinion of other people. This is hard to change when they've been too dependent to the opinion of other people.

While these necessary things can be achieved slowly, easy and without having pressure at all, they chose what they think that shall rush them and then later on will complain that they're dealing with hardship through it.

$1m is too small, he should fine more. Lol. Sigh, this person is not yet done for what he wants that he will never get, ever.
If i'm one of those who support him (which i will never be), i should drop it already lol. It's been a very long time already yet he didn't prove anything, because obviously he is fake.

Justice Mellor also granted the developers a second security application, ordering Wright
to pay by Jan. 5 an additional 800,000 pounds (~$1 million) to cover the developers'
legal costs in the event he loses the trial. Wright already deposited 100,000 pounds ($127,000)
as a security payment.

In which part of the world is this still happening? Things have changed now, people now decide if they want to be married or stay single for the rest of their lives and there are no big issues about it. There were times when divorce used to seem like an abomination,  but now people even even celebrate being separated . All these cases have been made easy because the stereotypes have reduced and the stigma that comes with being unmarried or divorced too have reduced. All thanks to civilization that has made everyone believe in the equality of the man and the woman.  What The people are more concerned with is how to develop themselves and control scarce resources at their disposal.



Most women who remain in abusive marriages stay back because they have little or no means of  survival if they leave. This explains why the financially buoyant women who are in abusive marriages choose divorce faster without looking back.

Regardless, this is still good news. Bitcoin being recognized by a country to be used in contracts and deals is one good improvement.  People in Argentina won't be worrying about their deals in cryptocurrency being ignored by the court.  This time the government is supporting Bitcoin deals and contracts that can further boost the Bitcoin real-life application. I think there is no need for Argentina to make Bitcoin a legal tender, a mode of payment, or being recognized in contracts and deals is enough, IMO.

There are two things wrong here and people only responded to one of them so far.
The obvious one that when we talk about adoption we aren't talking about a situation when you can buy anything anywhere at any time. That would be more like replacing fiat which is not the goal.

The other one that nobody addressed is that altcoins will never become mainstream or even be used as long as their purpose is to be pumped and dumped. For years the altcoin creators only made new projects to make money themselves, hence the premines and ICOs and PoS and so on. Until that changes, we won't see "other cryptos" ever be used for anything meaningful.

Some news on Nick Kyrgios. Unfortunately the Aussie is to miss the AO this year. He said he feels exhausted, in pain and would like to finish his career:

"I'm tired. I have had three surgeries now. I'm only 28 years old, I always wanted to have a family and not be in pain. When I get up, I can't walk without pain. It's a tough gig," he said.

He also shared that he actually considered a suicide back in 2019. Such a pity this guy is so talented he could easily be TOP10 ATP.

It's possible that the institution money is already in. It's also possible that we are not just going "straight up".

Everyone is very optimistic at the moment...when everyone is past "oh wow, it's growing, should I buy?" and at the stage of "yes it should keep going up" then I get skeptical.

I fully believe in the post-halving effects, and I believe that once the excess holders (US holding silkroad, Mtgox repayments) are also removed from the public market (if OTC haven't already removed them), then we will see growth. Between now and then, I feel something will be coming to haunt leveraged traders and also those who are inexperienced, too optimistic, and who can be easily shaken out.
