Bitcoin - Breakthrough at the 2018 World Cup in Russia .Yes or no ?

[dothebeats]

Personally, I don't think the world cup will have any significant event in terms of getting bitcoin's word out and possibly bumping up the price. There had been many important events in which bitcoin was connected to but there were no drastic change in the price even after the event concluded. Having said that, visitors in Russia would probably go and just watch the football and not care about buying stuff with bitcoin since it's not what they came for in the first place. Though that might sound disheartening, I still want to see such publicity to have some real world effects in bitcoin, not in price alone but also in terms of awareness that such a thing exists.

if bitcoin had a partnership or spornsors the world cup event then the price could probably skyrocket because people will be more aware about bitcoins existence

but if bitcoin dont have any connections to the soccer event then the price could still remain stagnant for weeks even months and so on.but we shouldnt loose our faith at all because bitcoin wont fail us. Bitcoin is already proven and tested to deliver a good result , if only given an adequate time.

what the Bitcoin experts say !!

nothing, they say absolutely nothing, because they would have nothing to say

the BTC course at the football world championship will rise. If so, how many dollars?

People went to watch the games, how would this increase the price of bitcoin? there is no bitcoin debit card available for people to use, so not even bitcoin will not have a big impact as a means of payments in the football world championship

My guess is $9800 until the final.  

I doubt very much that you will get this price.

Let's see how that is going to go, but in a way it would be a good thing as we will get to see a good real life usage for it and in that case might see some pretty good demand for it and most especially for foreigners coming into the country. Let's see how the betting thing is going to end up though, as it is still too early to start judging how that would tend to play a huge effect on the price of bitcoin.

It is very possible to happen because the influence of FIFA WORLD CUP 2018 will increase the use of Bitcoin, it can be said that gambling is an aspect that will affect the increased volume of Bitcoin transactions. That's because more and more people are interested in using online gambling, an easy thing to do and Bitcoin makes it easy for gamblers to do various deals in their gambling game.

I don't think it will. Nice article OP but it's just so unfortunate to know  that it won't work that way you have stated it or viewed it because  emotions either good or bad  are part of human make up. No human being is born without emotions, infact, this is what makes us a living thing so we can't get rid if it totally but on the issue of trading emotions can be put in control by not acting on it. I believe this is the only way for it to be better.

there is two things wrong with this speculation.
first is the fact that the World Cup has already begun and we have not seen any change in bitcoin price that can be noticeable enough so that we can associate it with this and say this speculation was right.
second is the fact that there are a lot of ways to gamble on these games that are more legal. the problem is online gambling is illegal in many countries and people are used to normal ways of doing it with fiat which are also legal. if they want to use bitcoin they also have to gamble illegally in many jurisdictions and also go through the hassle of buying bitcoin which is signing up on an exchange, verifying account, installing a wallet, learning how to use bitcoin,.... so they won't do it!
