I'm not sure what you mean by "dramatic" in this case, but a better way to describe it is "controversial" — whereas some people are loudly for it, and some people are loudly against it; hence why we get a lot of news about it.

In the end, publicity is publicity, and the internet is being archived — to show in the future who the loud opposition is.

People first heard about Bitcoin in various ways. I first found out about Bitcoin(mining) in 2012-2015 because I was looking for ways to earn passive income online with zero work(lol I know). I had a very shitty laptop so after earning nothing in an hour, I simply turned off whatever mining software I used.

Then, I found out about it again in 2016 when Bitfinex got hacked. Dug deep, and the rest is history.



LOL thanks.

One of Bitcoin's uses is money, and money ultimately is a tool — and literally, any tool can be used both in a good way and in a bad way.

Being sad because bitcoin is being used for illegal activities is like being sad that cash is being used to buy drugs and being sad that knives are sometimes being used to stab people. It's totally an utter waste of your time and emotions.

You're probably thinking bigger than 50% because what you're seeing are likely to not be the 'decent' ones. Take it from me who is actually very active in the crypto space(not just Bitcoin) and actually runs a curated airdrop database(paldo.io). Don't have a generalized opinion based on the Telegram referral links you see here and on social media.

Scratch the first part as it indirectly promotes "timing the markets". DCA is better for most people.


There will be altcoins that will have very high multipliers, but most of the time it will just be temporary pumps that will very likely just dump back down in the end. Hence, bitcoin is better for 95% of people.

What comeback? Memecoins never left — it's mostly still just a game of hot potato where most of the attention moves from a lowcap memecoin to another, with a few high marketcap memecoins gaining(and losing) long-term dominance here and there. The meta never changed, really. Just that the market is getting heavily diluted by the number of memecoins being made.

I did get some, fortunately. I used SyncSwap for months trying to trade spot BTC/ETH for profit. Not a crap ton of tokens but a decent amount that I'm happy of.

As for those who didn't end up being eligible, always remember — In most cases, airdrops weren't promised in the first place, so let's not be entitled(unless you fit under their eligibility criteria, then it's justified for you to complain). All of us simply made assumptions that they would give us tokens.

Those were great! But this model simply is not viable today as people will just be farming using multiple wallets. Obviously we don't want AML/KYC to prevent sybils.

Not entirely; like 50% of the decent airdrops today don't even have a referral/affiliate program, so no one really needs to post about it.


There are still a crap ton of experimentation happening(good and of course, bad ones). Saying that there is none is like the boomers saying no one is using bitcoin.

There always will be. The problem arises when you realize that only a small number of altcoins will achieve huge multipliers in the huge sea of altcoins that will simply just end up going to zero.

Honestly though, if you're asking this question, you're better off just buying BTC and enjoy the smaller long-term gains and just look for other avenues to earn money — like getting a nice job or starting a business.

Besides the general rules, there's really nothing new you need to know. Bitcointalk is just a typical online forum, just that we like to talk about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies a lot. That's just it. All your learning will be off-site; as Bitcointalk will mostly just be the place to talk about things.

Twitter accounts and websites can only expose so much — mostly the bigger scams. The smaller ones can easily slip through the cracks; hence why the best way to be safe is to actually educate yourself with these schemes so you don't need people telling you which are scams and which are not.

I've always argued this, especially to those who think "airdrops are good to be true because free money". It simply isn't! And add the fact that a lot of people still think that airdrops is still the spam-the-projects-telegram-link-on-social-media thing people did back in 2017. It's far different today — the airdrop model is actually better now.

It should generally still be fine — just always make sure to have separate email addresses especially for crypto/finance related things. This can easily be done with premium email services with multiple email address alias features(you can also use custom domains). (Tuta/Protonmail/etc.)

Graphics are the least of your/their problems. Lots of hot games today have 'meh' graphics, but are still generally enjoyable — Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Valorant, and dozens and dozens more have subpar graphics. And don't forget the classic old games that people still play today like Age of Empires, Starcraft 2, etc.

What most P2E games right now lack is enjoyable gameplay. If all your userbase are playing the game solely just to farm the game, then your game's economy will easily collapse. There should be a healthy balance between farmers, and people actually playing the game because they simply just enjoy it.

I think this is simply because the NYAN token is technically useless now, as the game is still pretty young; and add the fact that crypto has been down since last week.

5% and under would be great for the coin/token's price in general, but it doesn't make sense for a project as there wouldn't be that much incentive for them to grow the project if their percentage holdings were that low in the early days of the project. Probably only projects that are more than 5 years old are in the 5% bracket.

Copper member is the only rank you can buy. A paid rank-up is made available for people who want to promote some business/service; not for people to just skip the line of earning merits/activity fairly and quickly ranking up to hopefully get a chance to join a bounty campaign.

To be honest it's easy to see riches these people could've made just by holding the hundreds of bitcoin they had back then. But the question is, which of them actually held the coins until today? Also taking note that it's far harder to hold with conviction back then compared to today.

But to answer your question: I don't have enough bitcoin; no one does.

With these the "earnings" you're going to get are just mostly going to be from the token inflation lol. Pretty much they're currently just going to print more tokens and distribute them to stakers and LPs. Because chances are, they barely have any 'real' earnings right now, as with most(95%) of crypto protocols.

20% at maximum but even that's really pushing it. The team holding 50-100% is just straight-up a grift, no questions asked.

Obviously, 0-5% is great but it wouldn't make sense ain't it as it wouldn't give the team that much incentive. Even if it's set at 20%, that 20% will slowly but surely be less and less as the team slowly but surely sells anyway.

For better opsec, always assume that whatever service you're using will be breached someday.

Especially with crypto-related services, I always use a separate email for these as I know it will be a total nightmare if one of the emails I've used on crypto services gets leaked. I won't be surprised if the old email I've used on Ledger is still heavily being spammed right now.
