How much my memory serves me, and according to the official data from CMC price of 1 BTC on January 1, 2016 was around $400, and it stay like that next 5 months until halving. I wouldn't call it bullish, and therefore OP assumption looks like another worthless speculation.

Price growth is realistic to expect after halving, especially in the last quarter of this year, but the new ATH not before 2021.

In this case, contact WorldRemit as soon as possible and ask to try cancel a transaction :


Or even better contact your bank and explain what happened, I believe they can get the money back. This is not a BTC transaction, which in most cases is irreversible; the whole thing works differently when you use banks/cards.

stompix,


It is still about making money, because of this above, bondholders have already received the money, you completely left out the fact that them (bondholders) receive " regular coupon payments they have received on the back of the initial purchase.".

It is not only a matter of realizing the conditions of the pandemic and the numbers of the deads, but about how the whole set-up thing is, those who bought the bonds have already made money on them, and will earn even more regardless of the pandemic.

How 550 EUR from the first post turned into 611 EUR? And can you clarify if this money has already been sent to the alleged seller and what was used as a means of payment? I don't understand why you agreed to the transaction outside of exchange, and why you pay for something in advance (if I understood correctly that the money is already lost)?

For some to profit from someone else's accident and death is normal and it is not a secret, that's what arms, drug or human traffickers do, and we can without any hesitation put them in the category of criminals who will make everything on their way to profit. But what about legal and world-renowned organizations that are supposed to help people and create a better world?

Most have probably heard of the World Bank (probably mostly bad things), but I have to admit, it sounds pretty ugly when you read that they have issued bonds related to the outbreak of the pandemic. The initial idea was that such bonds would help the affected countries, but as it now seems with COVID-2019 only profit will be for those who have invested in such bonds on time.

I will just highlight some of the most interesting parts of the article :


https://www.dw.com/en/investors-flee-from-controversial-pandemic-bonds-with-coronavirus-set-to-trigger-payout/a-52539926

As you can see in the above, investors have already made quite a lot of money, and they will earn even more, which of course will not even be made public. Those for whom these bonds were supposedly invented will get some dust, maybe ...

Hanna, for start check your balance in Electrum, 550 EUR is not small amount and if your wallet is sync then you should see that your balance is changed and you should see that transaction in Electrum history tab.

These are things that can be proven very easily, do not pay anything, regardless of the merchant's alleged reputation. After you post the transaction link and determine that your receiving address is indeed part of your wallet (click address tab in Electrum - do you see that address?) we can conclude what really happened.

I totally understand what this is about, and no matter how much you try to portray it as legal work, it's pretty far from that. After all, ask yourself why someone would buy a device from you at almost the same price for which he or she could buy it legally at his or her local store?

I hope you understand why things like this don't attract customers, at least those who think logically.

This seems at first glance to be an alt account of :


ElizabethA is start with posting same links as JessicaVL, only 3 days after JessicaVL is stopped, maybe the reason is ban. Either way, this way of advertising no longer pass under the radar, and all who go down this path will face the same fate.

Congratulations on your achievement, you are proof that there are exceptional members who can get over 1000 merits in less than a year.


What I notice is that at least 90% of yours merits is come from your local board, which shows two things. The first is that the board is quite active, and the second is that your local members appreciate your work. So I think you are a specific case, and you have found a way to build your reputation in the local forum board.

As for some recognition on other parts of the forum, I have to admit that you are completely unfamiliar to me for obvious reasons, and probably some other members will confirm this.

The conclusion would be that such success would be much harder to achieve if you only post in the English section of the forum, but not to misunderstand me, I do not diminish your success, local boards are very important for forum.

What would really be news is that UEFA makes it possible to buy tickets with Bitcoin, then it would have something to do with crypto and would be worth discussing. This looks like some sort of attempt to control ticket sales, and that the whole process as many automates and to save on paper ticket production.


From what I read, there will be no need for staff to activate tickets, they will activate themselves when the visitor approaches the stadium (if BT is on), and staff will only check QR codes on mobile phones.

Firstly there is no need to quote the whole OP, and secondly try to be a little more constructive with your questions/answers.

Other countries may never follow the example of Switzerland regarding Bitcoin, because they are still far from the degree of democracy and human rights that rule there. What most of the world regards as democracy is in fact an apparent democracy, in which people decide every 4 or 5 years in elections. Switzerland is far more advanced than that model, the people deciding whenever they want through referendums.

We can also say that they do not see BTC as a threat, unlike most others, so it will take some time for some other countries to move in this direction.

I do not know how any person working on customs can come into possession of a shipment that was sent to someone unless the same shipment is seized for some reason? If something fell into your hands, in a specific case I do not see that it could have happened in a legal way.

Stedsm, this is about the interception of mobile data, which with the help of special equipment can be used for illegal purposes. So everything that travels by air can be intercepted in some way, which does not mean that any data can be misused because they are encrypted. However, I think that such flaws (and some other unknown ones) are mostly used by the secret services of all countries of the world in spying on bad people, but of course there are abuses as always.

Regarding one-time password (OTP) via e-mail, it should be much safer than 2FA SMS. Although they are known cases that some users of blockchain.com (info) are hacked no matter what they used e-mail verification. But this probably has nothing with this flaws in mobile networks standard.

Some may say that I am too paranoid, but for all sensitive operations I use exclusively my landline internet connection, although in exceptional cases I need to use a 4G mobile network, but only thing that I'm worried about is crypto security. So no 2FA over SMS, and hardware wallet (Nano X) as mobile wallet provide me with a satisfactory level of security.

Bttzed03, as I mentioned earlier, these are the attacks in which the victims are targeted, which means that you have to be relatively close to someone, have the necessary equipment and knowledge to carry out such an attack.

As far I know Google codes can be sent via SMS, by voice call or via mobile app, which would mean that they are in part vulnerable to such attacks. If you are interested in the technical details I suggest you read the article and also the link at the bottom of the article that leads to the previous research.

There is no room to panic, this is just a warning that the things we take for granted are not exactly what they seem.

We live in a world where very few things happen by chance, and those who analyze the situation a little deeper see that there are a lot of illogicality that are constantly being sold to us as truth. Everyone who is inclined to think critically is said to be developing conspiracy theories.

For me it is completely unprofessional that quarantine is carried out in a way that thousands of people are evacuated from China, and that doctors adhere to the assumption that the incubation period is 14 days, which of course turned out to be completely wrong. People can develop the disease after three weeks, and all the while are carriers of the virus. Protective measures are literally ridiculous, these protective masks that people wear cannot stop viruses, but are intended for bacterial protection.

It is an indisputable fact that China has the greatest damage from the virus, their economy is working only at 50%-60% capacity, and I think the rest of the world is pretty much affected by this situation.

I cannot claim with complete security, but if something was seized by customs, then there is something wrong with those goods. It is very likely Chinese copies that someone tried to smuggle into the EU, and such things are usually destroyed. Even if it were originals, would you buy a device that has no warranty?

Price for iphone 11 pro is from $999, and iPhone 11 Pro Max is $1099 - OP price is $1050

Although various researchers have already warned about security vulnerabilities in the 3G network, it seems that problems continue to be detected in 4G and even in the 5G network, which should logically correct the flaws from previous standards.

If one wonders what the consequences are for users who may become victims of 4G/5G network hacking, read the following :


From this it follows that the greatest threat to crypto users is intercept of SMS which some use as 2FA on crypto exchanges. Of course, this is a targeted attack that does not require excessive knowledge and requires equipment that can be purchased for as little as $200. Unfortunately, repair of such flaws is only possible by replacing the hardware on the part of the operator and on the part of the user, which of course is completely impracticable at the moment.

Advice for anyone using mobile networks and crypto is to be on the lookout, especially if it is public knowledge that you own a significant amount of money in crypto.

Searching by your name khaled0111 in topic listed in OP, there are no results for your profile. That means you never post there, or your post is for some reason deleted. Another possibility is that you changed your name.

All in all, you don't seem to care too much about the security of your profile, which means that in the event of a hack, you have exactly a 0% chance of getting your profile back. Fortunately, you can easily change that, just sign the address and this time don't forget where the private key is stored.

I can agree with a good part of what is stated in previous posts, and it definitely makes sense to me that for some situations an alt account is quite appropriate. I'm not personally logging into this forum on my smartphone, but if I were to do that, I'd definitely make an alt account for security reasons.

I understand some other reasons for alt accounts, but I personally do not support using alt accounts and participating in signature campaigns (regardless of the fact that this is not the same campaign), because if one user takes say 3 places in 3 different sig campaigns, is it fair to someone else? From an ethical and moral standpoint it is definitely not, but the world is a cruel place, and the forum is no exception.

It's probably the same person, but without solid evidence, no one will ban him regardless of what he posted on the forum, or his opinion on what Bitcoin really is. As I see the user in question can not be accused of ban evasion through connections with an address, but he/she maybe is not using TOR/VPN, so admin can check is there any match in IP address.

In the meantime, it's best to use the Ignore option, any further interaction really doesn't make sense.
