TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) I see Twitter has the following info in their blog post about this Strike payments tie-up... "You’ll know an account has turned on Tips if you see this icon next to the Follow button on the profile page. Tap the icon, and you’ll see a list of payment services or platforms that the account has enabled, and you can select whichever you prefer. The services* available so far: Bandcamp Cash App Chipper Patreon Razorpay Wealthsimple Cash Venmo" https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2021/bringing-tips-to-everyone Maybe someone here who's more clued into this can let me know... Are there any real consumer-facing businesses in Thailand that accept payments from ANY of these above kinds of payment methods? I buy stuff on Lazada.com from time to time. Last time I checked, they don't even accept Paypal, Samsung Pay, Google Pay or anything like that... much less any of the more esoteric kind of stuff Twitter has listed above.

Neeranam Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 1 hour ago, In Full Agreement said: IMHO all crypto currencies are basically gambling. What research do you do to determine a good time to buy or sell crypto? Would you also call stocks gambling? Chart analysis as well as researching fundamentals and many other things is how I research/learn about cryptos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryfromMalaysia Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 IMO, Got early players who bought before 2019 and made money x10 already Then got 2020 players who bought after 2019 and made some money. The early 2021 players likely is currently losing money. Finally got the dinosaurs who will never touch it.

You should look into Dee Money for sending money out of Thailand...could have saved you at least 1300 Baht...I may be off a little but close enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryfromMalaysia Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Whether you are a dino or a savvy 20 years hold, if you can hold 0.1 bitcoin then you are the 210million in the world since there is only 21million bitcoin. Scam or not, to be the 210million out of 8,000million in this planet sounds good to me. The money printing in US and the money borrowing in Europe is crazy hence bitcoin is created. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryfromMalaysia Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 What I don't get is there are these famous twitter people who got 1000s followers who every tweet about how good this and that is, the future is this and that. Then they ask you to subscribe to their news channel and pay say $20 each month. All they do is saying it will go up in the future. The market goes up, comes down then up again but people are still paying that twitter guy $20 a month. Then this twitter guy bought 1 bitcoin from all the money he gets from his subscriber and post on his tweet that he bought 1 bitcoin and will hold for life. He then gets more followers or subscriber. Market goes up or down, this twitter guy earns $20 x number of subscriber per month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STALINGRAD Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Bernie Madoff guaranteed 10%,greed didn’t ask how.12% pay outs are not built on FDIC backing ,and I question the sustainability.But up to you if you buy in.I am trying to sort fact from fiction and understand crypto better.I do question anyone who claims they have the new messiah.Drink the kool aid, but don’t insist I drink it unless until I see how it is made.

I get 4% back in crypto for every transaction, and also get free 1st class airport lounges, free Netflix/Spotify and some other things. Yesterday, I paid all 4 of my family's phone bills with this card and my daughter's apartment. Also a great way to ramp off the crypto profits. how widely accepted is the CdC card in LOS and do you often get hit with surcharges? I haven't been over since December 2014 so I'm just a wee bit out of touch. that's the only reason I'm inflicting this forum upon myself, hopefully find some buried gold ????

This is like reading zerohedge, not CNN Indeed, those who never saw it coming are in total denial and brainwashed. There is fear about what the 10 year bond yield is doing, which is signalling a bear trend. A few of my friends, who are experienced investors(and were anti bitcoin) have been selling their stocks and buying crypto. It would be foolish not to.
