I used LTC for daily transactions- it is faster and cheaper transfer.

I stopped using it as it’s also more volatile day to day than BTC and ETH. Again - nothing like sitting holding even 5k of that stuff and losing 5% over nothing.

It’s why I prefer stable coins. Also can make 3% APY on the ETH I hold automatically on Kraken vs .1 on BTC - doesn’t eliminate the risk of volatility- just offsets some of it by giving back a little each week.

The ease of purchasing BTC is what makes it so useful - can literally walk into an ATM stick in $100 and purchase. But we have a huge gap between niche uses of crypto and widespread acceptance. Making a few purchases online and offered crypto to each vs doing PayPal and their 3.9% fee - even offering to walk them through receiving and selling on PayPal - people have no idea and half acted like I was trying to scam them by offering crypto over old fashioned PP.

I used Gemini for many years until one day I got an email saying my account was closed and they would not give a reason.

I believe they may have since increased fees but they were very low not long ago.
I had the same thing happen at Gemini. Really liked them too

Guess they didn’t like our kind. Similar to Coinbase kicking out the gamblers years ago
Did they take your crypto or refund it when closing your account?

Didn't El Salvador go to a BTC national currency a while back?
I wonder how that is working out? They must have made it so every purchase can be transacted in BTC, right?

I deposited crypto, converted to USD on their exchange, then cashed out to my bank.

My balance was 0 when they closed my account.

If you are in the US, the only place to bet in BTC is Bitcoin-Betting (Pinny odds and anonymous). Nitrobetting has turned into a scam shop and Betcoin no longer takes US. Those two were once my go to shops. VPN works at Bitcoin-Betting.
