In simple terms

Look at mining in a more conventional way. Like mining gold. You will need tools, equipment and effort to discover and extract that gold from the earth. Once you get it, you can either stash it for the future or sell it off on the market for money.

Mining is more like a business you invest in for long term sustainability if things go well. But not everyone can afford the equipment or the patience to wait long term for return of investment. Here is where trading comes in. Even with your $500 or less, you can still try to trade and get some profit.

Please note that there is no guarantee of profits short or long term. Every form of investment is a risk and we always hope that with the risks we take, we get the reward in the end.

To be honest, for some reason, I have always thought the idea of the name could have come from Bittorrent given that it is also a communication protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P), which enables users to distribute data and electronic files over the Internet in a decentralized manner.^[1]

How do you drop the hashrate for example? Planning to go China on the miners? Because what causes it to go up is the number of miners out there so long as it's profitable.

A drop in network hashrate would also mean that the network becomes less decentralized and easy to attack.

People are still paranoid about this wallet, especially when they decided update their terms and conditions about collection of user data

Anyway about a few hours ago, they tried to clarify on what was actually going on. I still wonder what took them so long to respond to the issue

This is the thread >> https://twitter.com/ConsenSys/status/1660353688446050304

So this is almost similar to him just buying the coins he has eyes off an exchange with the DCA strategy using the funds that would be spent on the electricity bills to keep the GPUs running except that the GPUs won't be lying to a waste if he just decided to mine instead of buying 

I tried doing this back in the day it's completely useless

1. "Free signals" are used to build group numbers
2. Once the group has so many members they start asking for subscription or make a VIP group for "premium signals"
3. The trick is they (owners of the group first buy the shitcoin) and then send the "signals" to VIP members to buy and afterwards post the signal in the bigger group.
People rush to buy due to FOMO, Price pumps and the signal providers dump off the shitcoins on those users in the free group
5. They post results of very good performance and the cycle continues on another shitcoin

The only way through trading is by learning how to trade and making technical analysis yourself.

I know there are shitcoin but this here is way past the shitcoin level. Bitcoin meme? Where did the creativity go?

So you sat down thinking all night and day for a couple of weeks and this is the best you came up with?

if anyone fall into a trap buying such a token, then they deserve it as a punishment for their stupidity

Without any valid collateral, forget about get any one to lend you money here. It's impossible and i suggest you look for other alternatives if your situation is genuine.

You managed to make it through February, March, April and May. Then I don't think June and July will surely be a problem. Just hang in there and the remaining to months will be gone before you realize it.

The Bonus is when you get your full salary, you will wholly enjoy it without having to worry about a certain loan to repay.

By "expiring" they probably mean they are trying to change to a new wallet with a new set of seeds or keys and leaving the old one which is a good security practice. So when they see the address is "expiring", it is not actually expiring but they are discouraging you from using it in the future

Kucoin did such a thing in the past when they got hacked so it's no surprise.

If you notice, Ethereum and tron addresses on Binance are the ones being retired. I think the new addresses that are being implemented are an upgrade from the ones that were prone to the zero value transaction scam that has been going on for a while.

Have you forgotten that we do have bear markets that last a while?

Investing with spare money means in case of a bear market, one won't be forced to sell of there bitcoins at a lower market price just because they have to cover other expenses. Same applies to one investing what they can afford to lose. Nothing is obsolete


But Bitcoin can still go x2 to even x7 in a bull market. How many investment options can do that in 3-4 years?

To pump some sense into you.

Wrong.

Well at least there is a positive out of this, you got a reality check! 

Unfortunately, your account already has 3 negs Mr Super Intelligent.

The only clown in this thread is you. We don't entertain scammers here.

Fixedfloat has two options: Fixed rate and float rate, Clicking on each of the two brings 2 different rates and one of the rates is close to what BestChange displays on the monitor. So which on had you choosen?

Secondly, the minimum time bestchange updates the prices is 15 seconds. In crypto exchanges, a lot of price change can happen in 15 secs.

Thirdly, you will still have to visit the exchanger in order to make a trade. Bestchange is just simply a price monitor.

The choice is yours OP 

So you are joining the thousands of crypto and forex trading telegram groups, channels and discord servers?

One unfortunate thing about such groups is that when they are just getting started, they will tell people that if's free to join then once the server or group has some numbers, the will create a "VIP" group and start asking for subscription from gullible newbies

I prefer groups that are purely educational about trading and technical analysis and not just giving out "signals"

or perhaps they also have "custody" of your funds since they also hold keys to your money? 

I think someone opting for a closed source wallet which claims to give them control of their funds makes no sense at all

Thanks for taking your time to provide more details. $350 is quite an amount, and once again sorry for your loss. I am going to create a flag against his profile and also leave him negative feedback.

If you can, please, you might as well edit the original post and include that you just replied here for better visibility. I am going to use the OP link as reference for the flag

Edit:

Wow, he must some greedy bastard. He has a lot of alt accounts. I have just uncovered a few.

Binance Account deposit address for payments from different campaigns and alt accounts: 1K32tibtQZpVFUJ9AZJH5Gor8a1LMxyMry

Common traits:
1. The accounts sometimes post in the Pakistan local board
2. Posting style is quite similar when they try to reply to threads
3. Use on deposit address in Binance
4. Use ChatGPT to generate text. So some accounts are banned
5. Aggressively apply for different signature campaigns in a short span of time.

A seller making an advert and then immediately locking the thread is red flag number one. It means they don't want people they have scammed before to leave any feedback or review on their threads.

The mistake you did was to trust a stranger without asking or doing some research. I would love you to make a proper scam accusation with evidence so that DT members can leave negative feedback and a flag on the scammer's profile. That way, it will be easy for the guest users to see the warnings.
