Now, this is another negative feedback for crypto because of these terrorism funding. We're all against these wars and this only shows that many lives will be taken with these money that came from money laundering.

Okay, let's accept Russia gave 93 million to the Gaza terrorist organization but what they are going to do with that when the entire country is under siege and not to forget that Israel cut down the food, water, and electricity supply already.

Whenever governments need a reason to put the blame they just point it towards cryptocurrency. Roll Eyes
I do understand that it can be a misleading tactic from whoever funds it and to point the blame but if it's proven, it's unacceptable to fund these attacks. These will take away lives of money and whether it's a diversion tactic, many innocent people have been affected and sacrificed by this nonsense war.

At the same time, I couldn't really find anything related to Bitcoin in 2017, but I was surprised to see that BTC's price went from $1000 to $20K in a year. So if there was a 20x increase in price, how could the dominance go that low?
ICOs were kind of new and people were new to it and they pumped it and expecting ROI. Not knowing it is like pump and dump ponzi schemes. The price of the altcoins increased significantly. When the bear market came, the altcoins fell in price significantly and some were dead. Altcoins creation and pump makes them to compete with bitcoin and reduce bitcoin dominance.
That's right, it was due to the ICOs during that time and the craze was like how people have been into the NFTs. And it's like every week there's a new ICO project and investors are flocking into those projects and filling every crowd sale that they're getting. That was the time that when it's likely every project becomes successful every launch not until the bull run ended and 2018 came and still have tried but that's like the slow death of the ICO era. The same with the NFTs that have been the place of many scams, so do the ICOs were.

1024  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase got licensed In Singapore on: October 18, 2023, 10:41:20 PM
I agree that this news could have a positive impact on other countries.
Mainly on the South Asia, Singapore is very strategic and a known country so Coinbase having a license there means they know who and which countries they're targeting.

Will it attract other major exchanges to the country?
Maybe, like with what Binance has been doing then it's giving the alarm to them that they're about to be taken over so each move is like also a strategic based for them on which region they should go on.

Will it encourage more businesses to start accepting cryptocurrency payments? I'm excited to see what the future holds!
Possible and we will have to see that happen since many do admire the richness and progress of Singapore so getting a license there is like giving them the passes to the entire market of South East Asia and other nearby regions as well.

Trading is a business where you can see both profit and loss. Trading with proper market research has the potential to be profitable. Most of the traders lose in trading because they don't have enough knowledge about trading and most of the traders don't study the market to determine which direction the market might go due to which they suffer.
Even they have the same knowledge in trading, it's the reality that many don't see that in trading many of them losses.

Investing is a step ahead of trading, trading is done for short term while investing is usually done for long term. If you are not a patient person then investing is never for you. Investing will test your patience, if you fail the patience test then you will not get the expected profit from the investment but if you do not fail the patience test and if you can bear the risk and hold your investment for a long time then you will get successful from the investment.
While on this one, trading can also be done in long term but someone will see on how the words we say about it becomes into reality when they do it in actuality. Many traders chose the path of being a holder because it's so much better and easier. When I say easier, when you're able to see how risky both of them, you'll just be happy and sit to the side and HODL. And don't get it wrong when we say HODL, it's best done through Bitcoin even if the world tells you to buy this xx or that xx, don't always go with them because what works for them couldn't work for you. But what has proven to be working for everybody is to HOLD Bitcoin.
1026  Economy / Economics / Re: Marketing Strategies in the Digital Age on: October 18, 2023, 07:16:12 PM
I do a lot of online shopping and cash on delivery really reduces the chance of being scammed. But, if I've got some balance on my e-wallets or bank, that's how I pay them because it's hassle when the delivery guy comes to my house and I'm out, they'll not leave the parcel or goods because it is unpaid. Unlike if I pay in advance, they'll just leave it and take a picture and will be sent to the app and that's more convenient for both of us. And just like the traditional marketing, internet marketing or digital marketing has become one of the best career these days. Because there are a lot of platforms where companies can advertise their products and they need marketers to do it. This is what technology does and gives more platform and choices to advertisers.

True, and that's why it is not advisable to really used Google as search engine for crypto related, like looking for exchanges, bitcoin mixer or even gambling platforms because this criminals can exploit Google ads and place their phishing sites on the very first page of Google.

And most likely it is spread to social media as what it was pointed out.

Or even is cases that this scammers are going to used text messages or sms to trick and scam anyone.
Yes even casinos as well, almost every service that when you try to search on search engines like Google. You'll see the counterpart of these scams that will be on top of all of the results but Google never gives that warning to the visitors. Too many sources that they are using and in every platform, all of them are also there monitoring and trying to trick everyone, every newbie that they can. It's because they've been always the most vulnerable victims that they are targeting, actually, they are the main targets of them.

TravelMug 

How  did  you  come across this phishing site?

Im curious to know how its being spread, through emails/twitter/telegram or any other channel etc

As that might also help to stay more vigilant on such channels
Not him but I'll give an answer. Usually, you can come across these phishing links if you simply search them through Google. Google is known for not filtering these scam and phishing websites and that's why if you just search for some keywords that they're using for their SEO, they're going to appear in the first result.
I've come across with many of these from search engines and as well as in social medias and that's why they will never stop no matter how we keep up and monitor these. The problem is the platform itself is allowing these to exist because they are getting paid and that's the thing for them and not for the welfare of many of their users that can be potentially a victim of these scams. Anyway, they have come across as well with a solution but we need to cooperate with them by reporting these scam/phishing links.
1029  Economy / Speculation / Re: Recent market manipulation shows the enormous potential to reach the moon! on: October 17, 2023, 09:47:13 PM
It's like a ticking bomb ready to explode and yes, we're talking about the money that's waiting on the side lines when the right time comes.

But whatever it is, I feel that the current price of Bitcoin is still being held down by "them," but I don't know who they are. But no matter what, I'm still enjoying this Bitcoin journey while taking profits little by little and still waiting for the next ATH.

But I could be wrong about this so I am sorry.
We have no idea who they are but we're mostly going to agree to just let it say that they're the 'whales'. Well, that doesn't mean that they're literally the big players in the market but there's another description of them now just after how they're able to manipulate the price. And that means they're the literal manipulators of the market, we don't know how big or small they are or how significant all of them are or how synchronized they are.
1030  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think? Selling all or not on: October 17, 2023, 07:49:21 PM
If selling all of your Bitcoin during the bull run will make you happy and satisfied, no one can take that away from you. But as usual, we still want to hold Bitcoin after that because we know that every cycle, the higher price of Bitcoin comes. And if you decided to sell everything then you have to make sure that you don't regret it or if you do, you'll have to wait for another bear market and then just acquire some of it from that profit you've made. It's also a cycle where many just repeats what they do like buying again when it's cheaper then taking some profits during the bull run, rinse and repeat that's it. Another one is that you can sell in a DCA mode. Just like how we accumulate in DCA, you can sell some portions of it for every price you think is good to sell so you still have some BTC remaining on your portfolio.

First never think that you need someone to do the changes for you. Next, try to read on how the other passed the qualifications for the jobs that they're applying for. Make sure that you use those Upwork connects wisely and apply only to the jobs that you think you're qualified for.
Maybe there's something wrong with your cover letters or proposals so start from there and try to read tips from various articles that you can search on google.

Thank you for some of the directions you gave. I will fix some of my applications there and try to include new applications there.
You're welcome, maybe it's really from those proposals or cover letters and make sure that you've got some edge and advantage for the jobs that you apply for. When you think that you don't fit it, don't apply yet because recruiters are looking quickly to everyone's applications and when they don't see that you're fit based on your cv or proposal, they'll just gonna skip you quickly for real. I'm not a recruiter but that's what I've read from the perspective of one recruiter that has shared some tips on how they scout applicants and screen applications.

Cointelegraph issues apology after falsely announcing that BlackRock's Spot Bitcoin ETF was approved by the SEC.

This news raised the price of Bitcoin in a short time.
They really owe the world an apology and whoever is behind that monitor, the intern they say, is likely gonna feel ashamed of what has happened. This incident will make them better and will verify before they publish a news that will be read globally. The next time they make an error, then there could be possible legal consequences that they have to face.

where can I find the famous fake news in the last 5 years?

thx guys Wink
I can't find an overview or list of the fake news that has happened for the past 5 years. I think if you're looking for them, all you have to do is to allot time and search them manually since everything are published on the web. And if you're going to search for most of them, they'll definitely appear with certain keywords that you're looking for.

From some other sources, it seems that someone from their team made very nice money, and the apology is free anyway.

1034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you ever feel tired of waiting? on: October 16, 2023, 11:52:04 PM
Yeah, that's one regret that I also hear from the friends of mine that I've shared the talk about Bitcoin. They've been there during the 2017 bull run but made them lousy and tired on 2018 because of the bear market. I guess that's how it works really for those who are staying and believing on it than to just get a quick cash and leave. But no matter what happens, everyone who has seen this market before will and can comeback anytime that they wish to. The past is the lesson that we have to apply for what's coming to us within the nearest future.
I actually never believed that Bitcoin was a get-rich-quick scheme—quite the opposite. Perhaps the reason I quit was because I believed that Bitcoin was over after such a major crash. It was the first time we saw it thriving so rapidly in 2017, surpassing $20,000 in an extremely short period of time and then proceeding to crash back to where it was. I honestly thought it was over. I stuck around for a while but quit after a few months.
I guess the squeeze during that time just made you quit and I've read a lot of thoughts just as yours that made them quit as well. Well, it's understandable when you thought of it that the bull run was over or when it's the entire thing about Bitcoin. It was still considered new IMO by that time because that ATH was just currently an ATH these days.

I wish I was more knowledgeable and wouldn't have quit.
That's okay, you're still here despite that and you've got that lesson to remember and just always think of it whenever you're thinking of quitting again when the times comes just like a few years ago. Your reaction today would be more assuring to yourself and the decisions that you'll act on won't be the same as before.

It's been a while since I have read an article from unijoin and I agree with gazeta as well that this is more than the Bitcoin whitepaper itself but the history that it has included. Honesty, I've read some unfamiliar names and from there, I've already learned something new. It's good as the summary of the 9 page of the whitepaper including the resources. Coming from the worst great depression, into e-gold and now - Bitcoin. Good for the newbies to know the history, concept, came from and all of those ideas that can be taken to for them to know the roots of Bitcoin.

Upwork has quite strict qualifications. I submitted applications as a freelancer there many times and have not yet been accepted. I was frustrated when I became a freelancer on Upwork. Judging from the reviews and performance of Upwork, it is very good and there are many projects there with pretty good pay.
Just try again and try to do some changes on your proposals as the competition there is truly tough. It's not easy to land some projects there and even more with the long term clients.

Until now I am still trying to become part of Upwork, do you have any suggestions for me so that I pass the Upwork qualification?
First never think that you need someone to do the changes for you. Next, try to read on how the other passed the qualifications for the jobs that they're applying for. Make sure that you use those Upwork connects wisely and apply only to the jobs that you think you're qualified for.

1037  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More secure ways of storing bitcoin? on: October 16, 2023, 01:44:51 PM
For trust and security reasons, most of them also make use of multi-signature wallets, but they are basically using some of the most secure hardware wallets, as stated by Cantsay.
Those that are serious and have an idea technically on how to keep their assets/Bitcoin as an organization, they have to keep it through a multi-sig wallet and so that no one from the organization could run away with funds easily if ever someone from them intended to do so.

I think this article would answer that.

Why 92% of Institutional Investors Store Crypto on Exchanges

Quote
However, although things have improved since 2018 (the institutional crypto custody space now has well-renowned participants like Fidelity, Coinbase, and ICE’s Bakkt), a recent study conducted by Binance Research found that institutional investors don’t seem to be using these custody services; instead, 92% of the institutional investors that responded to Binance’s survey said that they prefer to keep their crypto exactly where most experts least recommend--on centralized exchanges.

As we can see, they place trust in major exchanges with the money entrusted to them. I can understand the reasoning behind this; an exchange that operates daily is more susceptible to hacking. The fact that they continue to operate reflects the effectiveness of their security measures. Additionally, I believe exchanges like Binance offer insurance on the funds deposited with them. In the event of a hack, which has occurred to Binance before, the SAFU fund, if I recall correctly, would come to the rescue.
This is crazy, they lean on each other's back and having that guarantee that their funds are all kept, stored and protected by the exchanges. I guess that we'll still see a lot of series from these platforms that their funds will be gone due to these attacks to the exchanges. While there could be the insurance that they give or allows these institutions to avail it, another reason could be is about liquidation.
1038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: October 15, 2023, 06:23:45 PM
Yes, VIP treatment is often obtained by gamblers who often visit local casinos and have even become VIP or VVIP members.
And it's not surprising that they can get treatment like that, but some gamblers get treatment like that because they are regular casino customers. Hence, the casino also appreciates those who often visit the casino.
The casino also has its own escort service by collaborating with third parties to escort its users who need it.
For the regular ones, it's true that they may also receive such treatment just for being a regular customer and they're being appreciated by that casino. But we don't get this that much in most casinos so if someone is into this treatment, yeah, that guy is lucky in being treated such like a precious by the casinos where he's gambling.

Users may leave the casino first to relieve their tension by breathing outside air so they won't think about continuing to gamble.
This depends on how the user can prevent himself from returning to gambling while waiting for the money to be counted.
Or they can rest themselves by watching television broadcasts in the casino.
Don't be afraid to say no to the casino, especially if you have had enough gambling and just want to wait for everything to finish.
Just rest and everything's good with that for you to relax your mind and don't get hassled by the casino if ever they are offering you services just for you to get back. I'd agree that you can always say no to them even with that treatment because you're a customer to them and you are their top priority, there's no forcing onto you whether you want to stay for more or you just want to go home together with the bag of money from your wins.
1039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: October 14, 2023, 01:08:14 PM
Maybe the casino already provides escort facilities to the winners of its big prizes so that they don't have to look elsewhere, which will cost money and time to find a suitable one.
This will be a plus service that the casino provides to its winners so that they can guarantee their security in taking their money home or directly to the bank.
It seems that the casino has such an escort service because the casino also wants to pay attention to the safety of the people who gamble at the casino, especially the big prize winners.
That's what you call VIP treatment which is normal in local casinos. You get that treatment when you've won big amount or when you're a huge roller. So that's normal for those that have been staying in these local casinos and have been experienced many times won such amounts and prizes. Anyway, for most individual big gamblers there, they also have those escort service from private companies just for their own protection which is being paid through their own pockets.

But some casinos will give you free stuff and ask you to wait until the money can be cashed out so you can leave the casino with your money.
But be careful if the casino offers you to gamble again while waiting for the money to be counted because that could be a way to lose your money if you continue gambling.
Well, someone certainly has to be careful when they try to delay you and does a lot of offers so that you won't go outside the casino. And that's how they're pushing these gamblers that are trying to secure their winnings so that they will gamble again. Because if that happens, the huge tendency is that gambler will lose everything and will be forced to gamble again based on his reaction if ever he's ran out of luck.

So, they broke up. That's what the highlight seems to be for me.  Grin
Anyway, they cannot literally manipulate the price of Bitcoin but they can do such things that will scare the shit the most of us and then do one accord movement based on what direction they want it to be. Being huge on this market having that "trust" from the people, at least for SBF before the fiasco can do influence everyone's decision on how they're going to respond the possible FUD that they'll send to the world and the market per se. But since the highlight for me is that both of them broke up, I agree to lucius about her trying to save herself from further charges against both of them. And I won't be surprised if SBF does the same thing of making some stories that pushes Caroll into more of manipulating his mind to do this and that. Anyway, no matter what stories they tell to the world, they're both convicted and did a lot of trouble by taking people's money.
