I've never used Paxful and certainly wouldn't use it now. Personally, I wouldn't trust any platform that shut down its operations and restarted them after a period of time for whatever reason, even if it didn't scam its users in the process. The tweets sound like an internal dispute between two of the founding staff members of the company, which is making both look bad. Even though I wouldn't use such a service after going through all this trouble, it's easy to suppose that his tweets are a mere and desperate attempt to hurt the company in which he was involved. I'd also dare to suppose that he could have also been fired, and he's spitting out venom to cause issues.

Deleting the wallet file from your older computer doesn't guarantee that the file is 100% unrecoverable. You can either remove and keep the HDD aside, supposing you're planning to get rid of that computer, or attempt to overwrite it using software specified for this operation. I know a couple but don't remember them right now; a quick Google search would be enough. Unless you prefer to create a new wallet and move all your funds there. However, I don't see the point in doing that since you mentioned in your previous post that you've already bought a Trezor device. Move your coins there and you'll be good to go, if the high fees are concerning you right now, lower them and in the worst case scenario, you'll have to wait a few more hours.

Indeed, looking back a few pages, you can see that there were quite a few replies claiming that the euro could possibly be coming to an end with an even larger drop. In the end, nothing happened, and the euro has recovered to almost pre-Covid levels. One euro is currently worth 1.12 USD. It's still far from what it used to be, but it's certainly a huge improvement from what it was a few months ago.

Although this is an interesting topic, I keep seeing new replies coming in that are completely irrelevant and not up to date with what's happening; thus, I might as well resort to locking this topic if it continues like this.

Certainly, there's a huge difference between going in a country for holidays and becoming a permanent resident. A few days aren't enough to have a complete understanding about the country's situation, while as a tourist, you mostly visit the touristy places and avoid the negative aspects.
I wouldn't move to the USA for a variety of reasons, with one of the most important one being the excessive living costs that would require me to have saved up in order to get started. On top of that, Europe is much more accessible and university degrees are generally accepted from other European countries.
Sometimes I regret going for Economics rather than becoming a tradesman, such as an electrician, bodywork repair etc, because a good number of them are capable of earning much more than the average person with an academic degree.

I have a degree in economics, not sure how and where I could possibly work online, but I'm really fond of statistics, thus I may follow a few more certifications there and pursue something relevant.

I don't want to disappoint you, but that seems to be the least of your worries right now. First of all, congratulations on studying under these harsh conditions. Education is something that will follow you for the rest of your life and may possibly stop this vicious cycle you're in. However, the 1000 BDT you're saving per month are hardly worth $10, meaning that you can hardly afford to save $100 per year, which won't get you any farther regarding Bitcoin and investments in general. With that being said, I believe that it's best to focus on your studies, yourself, and your family and leave investing aside, at least for a while.

Don't stop learning about cryptocurrencies; browse the forum, try to be productive, and aim to rank up. If your posts are worth reading, you may land a signature or bounty campaign from which you could possibly earn some Bitcoin or tokens.

Correct, I'm mainly focusing on employment rather than education because the latter is supposed to be temporary. Inflation is a global thing, however, in some countries it's worse than others.
Indeed, Covid-19 really sped up the process to digitalise everything, including the workplace. Unfortunately, not all positions can be conducted without physical attendance, which is a huge limiting factor. I'm not sure how an economics position could be conducted solely online.
It's not about being poor, life is supposed to be more than surviving from paycheck to paycheck. Someone who's living on just the basics doesn't have the capability to invest money if he isn't capable of escaping this vicious cycle of barely surviving.

That would be the least of my worries, to be honest. I already lived six years away from my parents and only visited on Christmas and Easter vacations. I'm quite introverted and am used to being alone with my partner.
It's certainly a tough decision to make, that needs a lot to consider. It's not easy being in a foreign country all by yourself, without any acquaintances or anyone to assist you in your new life.
I agree that developing the necessary skills that are in increased demand right now would be my first priority before considering moving abroad. Working online seems like a perfect opportunity, depending on your country of residence. I have an acquaintance of mine who works online at an IT company in Germany; he's being paid way less than he would be paid in Germany, but his salary is at least three times the average wage in Greece.

From my point of view, this scenario is the best of both worlds.

The job market has become extremely competitive in the past few years, while the increasing cost of living and low wages are forcing people to move abroad for a chance at a better future. Personally, I believe the economic conditions in Greece have been deteriorating; groceries, rent, and fuel have skyrocketed while the available income keeps shrinking. People with degrees are struggling to find jobs in their field that pay above the minimum wage and offer benefits such as paid vacation and humane working conditions.

Moving abroad isn't an easy decision; there are several factors to take into account, with the most important one being the language barrier. I only speak English; moving anywhere apart from the USA and UK would be a huge challenge because I'd have to learn a new language from scratch. Moreover, you'd have to take into account the increasing living costs of Germany compared to Greece, which means that you must have saved enough money until you manage to get settled in one place.

I'm really in a dilemma about what would be best for me. I'll be out in the job market in a few months after I finish with my mandatory military enlistment, and I'm unsure of what challenges and opportunities I'm going to face. I don't want to spend my life living from paycheck to paycheck. It's a good thing that I also have Bitcoin; otherwise, I'd be doomed. There's still something to believe in.

So far, in my opinion, the best option for work seems to be online, especially if it has flexible hours and a working schedule. You can work from wherever and whenever you want, provided you get the job done. Digital nomads have been increasing over the past few years, and it seems like a perfect opportunity that provides work-life balance. I believe that it's something that would suit my personal needs. I want to travel and explore as many destinations as possible, so working a regular 9-5 job with 20 vacation days per year isn't going to cut it.

So yes, would you consider moving abroad for a better future? Would you try to find a way to stay in your country, either through online work or by accessing all possible opportunities?

Unfortunately, we all probably have similar deals to the pizza one. I had purchased a Minecraft account for the equivalent of $1,500 by today's standards. I don't blame myself for spending that money back then; I couldn't have known, while the most I had acquired in Bitcoin was 0.40 BTC and was spent immoderately.

Supposing I had the opportunity to go back in time, I would go back to 2018's market crash, keep myself composed, and not give up on Bitcoin. There were an abundance of things that I could have done differently, that would have changed the course of my lifetime. That was my biggest mistake—not that I hadn't bought from 2014; I didn't have the means to do so, had no card, and was under 18.

It's funny and ironic that citizens are supposed to pay the price for pretty much everything regarding the environment, whether it is a green tax on single-use plastics, car emissions, or electricity. I'm all in to preserving the environment, but I'm also careful myself and try not to waste resources or be ignorant and throw trash around.

I always recycle, try not to use my car as often, and walk around, whenever possible. However, everything that is environmentally friendly is expensive, from disposable bags to paper straws to other kinds of packaging that isn't plastic. Why must these eco-friendly products be more expensive than the regular ones? Why am I supposed to pay the incentive of being thoughtful about the environment when large corporations are doing what they please, not caring at all, when they're the ones creating the issue in the first place?

I couldn't have said it better myself. Trading is indeed a great way to make money; it has immense capabilities, and the opportunities are endless. However, you don't sound like an experienced user, and even someone advanced should under no circumstances depend solely on trading or even cryptocurrencies in general as their source of income. This rule applies to pretty much everything; you should never put all your eggs in one basket because it increases the risk of getting screwed over.

I'm not claiming that trading isn't worth it; it is if you know what you're doing. However, it should be something to be considered extra and not a main source of income. You should always have at least one steady stream before doing anything.

The issue is that companies are taking advantage of the current situation with inflation by further increasing their prices and/or reducing their quantities in an attempt to additionally increase their profits in the name of global inflation. Businesses and companies may not be able to battle inflation, but they can certainly worsen an already awful situation. Supermarket chains here are breaking records in profits in a period that's supposed to be characterized as worrisome and underwhelming. It's a complicated matter; on the one hand, governments are allowing them to constantly increase prices since there's little to no monitoring, while on the other hand, companies are part of the inflation issue due to their greediness to increase their massive profits.

The shrinkage of packaging is a common practice that has become excessively prevalent in the past few years in an attempt to trick consumers into thinking that prices have remained the same. I used to work at a supermarket, and a wide variety of products had been shrunken, such as yogurts, butter, and bread.

It seems a little impractical to me, if I'm honest. There are simpler ways to correct grammatical errors through a variety of extensions, such as Grammarly or LanguageTool; I use the latter one. Although I'm quite proficient in English, these tools are extremely helpful to correct some of the small errors you might miss, massively improving your writing. Personally, I occasionally also use Quilbot for large amounts of text; it's basically an AI grammar checker that specializes in correcting grammar while also offering some other services that I haven't used (paraphraser, summarizer, and a few others). It's a lot more efficient and quicker than what you're doing.

I haven't moved Bitcoin for quite a long time, so I'm not aware of the current situation,but I suffered from expensive fees a few years ago. I understand that it's frustrating, but it may happen if the network is congested. If you're not in a hurry, I'd suggest you try again later and lower the priority by decreasing the satoshi per byte. You'll wait a few more hours, but you'll pay a significantly lower fee, and in the worst-case scenario, you can speed up the process by bumping up the fees. I always used a lower priority and paid 1/4th of what I'd have to pay initially.

I also don't understand how Bitcoin is perceived as a political movement that breaks down governments, as the OP is claiming. I recognize that governments certainly aren't fond of cryptocurrencies for obvious reasons (money laundering, tax evasion, privacy, no control over them, some of which are also extremely common with fiat currencies, but that's another story), although that doesn't cancel their investment nature. You may not consider holding as an active investment, but it's practically no different than buying an asset such as gold; you don't have to actively trade to be considered an investment.

The OP might be exaggerating a bit, but I also believe that we'll see a great surge in transaction fees during the bull market. If you remember, a year or two ago—I can't exactly specify how long ago it was—gas fees were extremely expensive, and there were an abundance of threads in regard to that matter. Personally, I always used the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and never paid any excessive fees when staking. However, I also saw a noticeable increase during the bull market for even simple transactions such as approving BUSD or USDT in order to add liquidity, not to mention the actual deposit and withdrawal fees for adding liquidity and removing liquidity.

The OP is talking about losses in trading, but you're mentioning that holding provides peace of mind because you're taking into account Bitcoin fundamentals and the upcoming halving, which is wrong. There's no guarantee that Bitcoin's value will rise then because the financial situation may not allow it to flourish. Statistical data shows that it's likely but not guaranteed. On top of that, traders are a different kind of breed; your mentioning holding in this case is completely irrelevant.

OP, trading is stressful and nerve-racking; I've done it before, and I completely understand your frustration. Losses are a part of the game; you can't always win, and eventually you'll suffer too. Have a stop-loss strategy and understand when you have to stop and take a loss or profit.

I've accessed the darknet markets in the past and have seen credit card and account sales; however, I'm not quite sure how legit these sales are; it's the darknet after all.

Binance has second-factor authentication, either through a mobile phone or email; Kraken does too. I've used both and always had to go through 2FA. How would someone take advantage of such accounts when they're going to ask for further verification for every single process you do, especially if it's regarding a withdrawal or changing your withdrawal address and personal details? I highly believe that a large number of these sales are a scam to attempt to trick people who think they can basically purchase money with money.

It's funny that people are using The Simpsons in an attempt to predict the future, not only for Bitcoin; this cartoon has been used for pretty much everything. The Simpsons was always a sarcastic cartoon covering controversial subjects in a subtle way, but in no way could it have predicted anything. In this case, the infinite loop is probably referring to its price, which has no specific boundaries and doesn't have a ceiling, as it could range anywhere from $100 to $200,000 or even more; there's no limit.

I think it's best to lay back and enjoy the journey; we have plenty of years ahead and a possible bright future. For us, trying to find a possible meaning in pretty much everything in an attempt to come up with our own predictions doesn't help at all.

I haven't seen many cryptocurrency-related scam advertisements on Facebook, to be honest. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, regulations that block them, or user reports, but I've seen an abundance of so-called entrepreneurs and Ponzi schemes. I can't comprehend that someone could fall for such a scam, while at the same time I'm wondering what this Telegram bot could possibly do to trick you into installing some unknown software—how and why on earth would someone do that? Even a cryptocurrency newbie wouldn't fall for that, unless they're also targeting naive people who have no relation to cryptocurrencies, tricking them into thinking that it's something that is possible.
