What is the Future of Bitcoin?
Imho the right moment to get out of bitcoin, that was march or april 21, the time Musk made it to his play currency. Not that I had a lot, but for me it was the right time. I had the 2 for 6 years, almost forgot the password, but: was a good investment -

News Forum - Studies show Omicron infection in vaccinated people “turbo-charges” immunity
I guess you are both in the older age? Am I right? I find it amazing that although triple vaccinated, you still get as you describe "a very nasty flu"? But less if you are in the older age as it is this group that suffers and still will suffer from covid. And that leads to say that those vaccines are not very efficient, saving some lives sure (which is great obviously) but not offering much protection against the disease and quasi 0 immunity. Vaccines as for everything else, some are good, some not so much. I got my 2nd dose of Astra Zeneca on 26 September last year. According to the UK vaccine surveillance report dated March 10 this year on vaccine effectiveness... Sourcehttps://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1060787/Vaccine_surveillance_report_-_week_10.pdf End of February (22 weeks after my second dose) I caught Omicron here in Thailand (there came my natural boost as I was not prepared to get another vaccine anyway). I would describe it as an average cold, certainly not a very nasty flu (I think most people do not know what the flu is and mixing up with the cold). Fever one night, sniffy nose and headaches for 3 days and tired for a week, that's it. A friend of mine got it at the same time, exact same symptoms, roughly same age and health as me... he is not vaccinated for covid. Dozens where I live had it between January and end of March, some with similar symptoms, some just tested positive but nothing, some had symptoms but never tested themselves but with so many around being positive, it was kind of obvious most of them had it too. I know it is hard for some, but this pandemic is over. It is time to stop taking any notice of all these articles saying this and that, about scientific studies that we are not qualify to read and understand in the first place. Nor to understand who make these studies, if they have conflict of interests or not. Simply look what is happening around you and make your own opinion based on this, and then simply use your individual common sense. Well as we have always done since the beggining of humanity... -

What is the Future of Bitcoin?
In an article in the Financial Times, suggestions have been raised into the suitability of Bitcoin as a payments system. Bitcoin is still being seen by some crypto enthusiasts, to perform everyday transactions. Countries, like the Central Africa Republic and El Salvador have taken a step further and use Bitcoin as a legal tender. But Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the digital asset exchange FTX, doesn’t see it as a cost-effective exercise saying, “The Bitcoin network, is not a payments network and it is not a scaling network.” He cites the systems that validate blockchain transactions and states they are not scalable up to the number of transactions required to make them an efficient system for that purpose. The 30-year-old billionaire, who has expanded FTX into one of the world’s largest virtual asset exchanges, says an alternative type of blockchain method, and other technological advances would be needed to scale it up for such transactions. Others have also expressed environmental concerns about the energy required to run the crypto systems, with even some European regulators calling for a ban on the systems due to their energy use. All this as the fast-growing cryptocurrency market was hit by a punishing sell-off that left bitcoin down by more than 35 per cent since January, at its lowest level since late 2020, indicates challenging times ahead for Bitcoin.
