Major development: Thailand has officially started accepting Bitcoin as a payment method for international tourists. This marks a significant shift in mainstream adoption, with the Southeast Asian nation positioning itself as crypto-friendly in the tourism sector. As more countries recognize Bitcoin's practical utility beyond speculation, we're seeing real-world integration into daily commerce. Thailand's move signals growing acceptance of digital assets in emerging markets.

Ha, another "official endorsement." I bet five bucks this is a contrarian indicator... --- Thailand adopts Bitcoin? Wait, isn't this a signal for me to start bottom-fishing, or is it another false boom before a sharp decline? --- Amazing, more and more countries are embracing the crypto world. The more this happens, the hotter my withdrawal card gets. I’ve figured out this pattern. --- Oh my God, now even travel payments are made with BTC. All my assets are nearly zero, and I haven't even had a chance to use them. --- Mainstream recognition = the final charge before big funds cash out. I died fighting like this last time. --- Southeast Asia is starting. Does this mean the bear market is turning around... No, I’m probably overthinking again. --- Practicality and implementation are indeed good, but why do I always think of my losing trades whenever I see this kind of news? --- Thailand’s crypto-friendly environment, then my wallet becomes even less friendly. Perfect inverse correlation. --- Wait, should I trade this news inversely? Based on my track record, the good news is probably the bad news.

Saw this news at 3 a.m., immediately checked the BTH/THB price spread data of several major OTC exchanges in Thailand... The liquidity gap is quite interesting now, a arbitrage opportunity I hadn't noticed before.

NGL, Thailand's move is indeed bold, but how many tourists can actually make use of it...
