Unreported World is on the forefront of Thailand’s cryptocurrency boom where farmers and traders alike are going crazy for digital currencies that can lead to both riches and ruin. In Bangkok, on the Wild-East’s crypto frontier, a young multi-millionaire CEO is pushing for his country to embrace the crypto-revolution. He has influential allies but he’s also up against powerful adversaries who warn of looming financial catastrophe.
The pandemic has left many in Thailand cash-strapped and jobless. Millions, predominantly young Thais, are turning to crypto to boost their fortunes. But cryptocurrency trading has its dangers. It’s volatile, with prices rising and falling dramatically, and it’s prone to scammers and market manipulation. This has led some countries to outlaw crypto transactions completely. But, for now, Thailand remains a crypto-friendly nation, keen to harness new blockchain innovations which promise to usher in a new technological era.
But not everyone is a winner. In the back streets of Bangkok we meet a man who made and lost nearly a million US dollars within a few months. With his initial investments now worthless, the 23 year-old warns that those who seek instant fortunes could be risking it all.

I've missed you unreported world😍😍
Scam.
I hate the traders
<TA is all well and good but I find it truly baffling that all major crypto youtubers just look at pure TA and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumping and why the future outlook might not be as rosy as it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps, narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market.This is the worst possible time in history to invest as so many don't back up their crypto assets.More emphasis should be put into day tradiing as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market.I have made over 13 btc 4rm day tradng with Smith Lawrence , insights and signals in less than 4 weeks, He's very accurate and always yields a great positive return on investment
