Hello everyone, Personally, I am actively anti crypto. However, that is my personal opinion. I was of the view that Ahmad sb would give me a counter argument but to my surprise he also agreed with me. I understand that pro crypto people feel under represented and feel like the guest didn’t challenge my views properly. In light of this I have invited Haroon Baig who will be joining us next week to share his thoughts on why crypto is the future. Hope he’ll help me see what a lot of you guys talk about a lot! 😊

[@XTRRYUK]

Thanks bro bcz i can't agree on any of his point Maybe i am wrong but I think he has less knowledge about cryptocurrency

[@Nitish.Singhal]

@@XTRRYUK bro you are right sir apni hee duniya mein thae. Shyd inhone bhi bas koi google certification krke lectures dene shuru krdiye hai 😂😂.

[@Nitish.Singhal]

Funniest things i have heard In this podcast that we are not important 😂😂😂😂😂. Sir apke data ke upar hee company ki funding hoti hai app akele imp. Nhi ho lekin apke jaise hazar logon ka data bohot imp. Hai. Hum apna google kyu nhi bna lete 😂😂 . Who will fund it ,how will you innovate on same pace as google, how will u acquire the market. Sir copy krne se nhi hoga usmein khuch improvement hogi tabhi jakke even apke family member try krenge agr aap group pe share kroge toh initially. 😂😂 Hum piche nhi hai ........ Reality Apne start hee kha kra hai . Race mein bhago ge tbhi toh pecche aage dekhoge. Geo strategy/ geo economics se you can be benefited but not so much that you become superpower. Superpower banne ke liye super innovation pehle chaiye hoti hai. AMERICA/ RUSSIA now future CHINA aise hee superpower bane hai . Aap sirf rent ki income se pakistan ke sbse ameer admi nhi ban skte .Vo admi jo apko itna rent de rha hai uske apse zyda chances/ probability hai waha tak pohauchne ke. Sir ne toh smjha ki uni ke bache jaise har baat par haa sir krte hai vo hee scene hai Muzamil bro ke audience sath bhi . 😂😂😂

Once again a great debate. There is absolutely no doubt that the blockchain is the future and there are dozens of companies working tirelessly to bring the future tech to our lives. Do your own research, but let me point out some future gems 💎 1)- Chainlink (Link) 2)- Cardano (ADA) 3)- Quant (QNT) 4)- AllianceBlock (ALBT) 5)- Terra (LUNA) 6)- VectorSpace AI (VXV) 7)- Lattice (LTX) 8)- Ripple (XRP) 9)- Constellation (DAG) 10)- Ultra (UOS) 11)- Theta (THETA) 12)- Trias Token ( TRIAS) 13)- Lossless (LSS) 14)- Verasity (VRA)

This discussion was all over the place. Sadly you will end up misleading a lot of people. 1. Research on-chain analysis? 2. Research market liquidity? 3. Research cold storage? 4. Research wallet addresses? 5. Research stock manipulation vs crypto manipulations. 6. Research crypto derivatives? 7. Research money printing and inflation? 8. Research market markers? Go watch a few Michael Saylor videos to understand the bigger macro picture.

[@waqaschuadhary5010]

Your show is ❤️

[@hamaddar]

I spend several hours a day everyday following crypto content and markets and have been doing so since 2013. This is so far the worst conversation I've heard on the subject. Muzamil asked good questions, but the guest was clueless.

[@hamaddar]

"Hum bitcoin nai kharedne dien ge, balke aik aur coin banien ge jo k backed by bitcoin hoga". So Bitcoin is bad, but an IOU of Bitcoin is good. So everyone can participate and not just the rich. But everyone can already participate as the smallest unit of Bitcoin that you can buy is still 0.00033 USD. You should have shelved this podcast even if you had already recorded it.

Muzamil Bhai only centerlized exchanges who can manipulate cryptocurrencies not US or any other countries. Every cryptocurrency rate decided by its Marketcap. If that currency has its own chain .i.e Bitcoin, Ethererum, Solana etc. their marketcap reported by CEXs (centerlized exchanges) and for currency that don't have their own chain .i.e. MANA, GALA etc. their marketcap reported by CEX and DEX (decenterlized exchanges) so in that way their rate is decided on their reserve of treasury currency .i.e. ETH, SOL and xDAI for Mana.

Hi, I live in Australia nd every few years we have a housing market crash. If a person who bought the house when the price was high needs to sell the house when the market is down he/she looses money. But if you keep the same house for couple of years you might make money. Bitcoin works exactly the same its not here to make you money in a short term it works as an asset class against the inflation. And people are able to manipulate it because its on its very early stages. Example Elon musk cannot buy the whole world because he cannot afford it but surely he can buy a lot of properties in some part of the world. So as the asset class gets bigger it gets out of the hands and you cannot manipulate it.

hi i want to say something u have heard about the book rich dad vs poor that the thinglike in this book is that someone question who have the money the answer in this book is "BANK".What bank digital system do is they show u the virtual amount as a balance in your bank but they are making lacs from your thousand.They are running a business from your balance if u want to withdraw amount they will give u someones other amount.I accept your point that bitcoin k aana se agr 1000 bitcoins hn ap kisi ko bhej kr kh skty ho k i have only one yeah you are sending money from one country to another without any proof given to government but think if the government control the transactions of ours in crypto and we give them every detail of transaction whats wrong we are not hiding money from them we are giving taxes a specific amount per bitcoin or whatever but what banking system do or why they dont want to legalise crypto because if they do soo people save money in their bitcoin and their system of business will eventually stop!
