This is the point. Is anyone surprised by this? Politicians have an insatiable voracity for spending, usually those on the left more, but many on the right as well. Just look at the expansion of the global debt by countries.

Well, I've been hearing this for a long time. Some people have been saying it since 1971 and it's been a long time since then. In the end, it will be a matter of time, but it won't affect me much if it ends in 200 years.


It sounds too conspiranoid to me but I'm not saying you're not right, although for me the most likely scenario is that they will continue printing more and more, with some timid balance sheet reduction and periods of rate hikes like now until they can't take it anymore and we go back to full non stop printing.

Next year is a presidential election in the USA, isn't it? I would bet that they will casually lower rates.

Me neither, probably for the same reason but I felt a little sorry for him because he looked young. In the end, Bitcointalk is like life itself, with the only difference that we don't see each other's faces here.

I see the gofundme has exceeded the expected amount already, at least it will help the wife and kids a little with material issues. May he rest in peace.

Are you sure about that? Drawing a parallel with stocks, there are custody services that cannot provide your shares and others that can. Obviously, the latter are cheaper in terms of fees than the former, but bank brokers or brokers linked to banks usually offer the former (simply custody, without being able to lend, and charging a fee).


Yes, not us on the forum, but many people who are now afraid of Bitcoin would buy it if they can do it through their bank and deposit it there. It is the recurring dilemma: it is not what Bitcoin was designed for, and in fact it goes against its philosophy, but it helps mass adoption and the rise in price.

I wouldn't laugh at any of those cases, in the end I think that almost everyone on the forum has spent or sold bitcoin at some point, and most of them do it regularly, when they get paid from signature campaigns, for example.

The important thing is to have a net accumulation balance as the cycles pass.

The ones I do make fun of are those Bitcoin haters today who bought high and sold in panic in the face of a drop in a previous cycle, thinking that the price was going to 0, that Bitcoin is a scam, a Ponzi scheme and things like that, and that today, instead of recognizing their mistake they continue to criticize Bitcoin and say that it is a Ponzi scheme, wishing that this would happen as a way to demonstrate that they were not wrong by selling at a much cheaper price than the current one.

Don't debate so much between love and hate because today they have more good than bad. In the old days when the merit system did not exist it seems that there was a big problem with spam and today there is still spam and posts that are not of quality but there are many others that are, and you just have to see the quality of the posts of the people who get paid the most.

On the other hand I know other forums where they write a lot of garbage and there they don't get paid, so this one is better.


I agree, sometimes it is easy to criticize from the sidelines but I think that overall he has found a good balance.

In this regard I recommend a quick visit to foxpup's first post on the forum.


In my case I have also enjoyed this week's article that delves into the prehistory of Bitcoin, or the background that made it possible, showing us how wwhen the internet as we know it had not yet been invented the foundations of Bitcoin were already being laid by people committed to privacy and distrustful of large centralized organizations. Of course, governments saw in these movements a threat to their power and tried to put stones in the way but history shows that they did not achieve their goal.

He obviously hasn't.


The question I asked earlier was coming to the fact that with how smart you seem to be about some things, that you have even called quite a few people on the forum low IQ and that you know a lot about cyber security; and you seriously need a $429 shitty loan?

I guess it's not incompatible to be smart in some areas and manage your finances terribly, because taking out a $429 loan committing to pay back 60% APR (yes, depending on price evolution, I know) is a sign of managing your finances very poorly. This section is fed by people who live in poor countries (and have low incomes as well as poor access to credit if at all) or gamblers, and you don't seem to be either of the two cases.

Me too. I tentatively plan to make two sales: when the price approaches the previous ATH and when it approaches $100K. If you're in the mood for cash in the profit it's best to do it a few thousand earlier because when those figures are approached a lot of sell orders are placed and they are hard to beat. So better to sell at $95K than at $105K, but if you are not in a hurry better wait for $105K and you will have an approximate 10% more profitability. I did something like that in the last bull market and depending on how things go I will sell more if we have a very good bullish cycle, and if after the second sale the price goes down and becomes bearish I will keep accumulating.

I, without wanting to get into personal adjectives or bad blood, would like to understand if the OP really needs this loan for a personal motive or if it is simply a kind of bet he is making on the price.

You call buy-to-let "innovation"? Lol.


Banks are not stupid, if they do not give you better conditions it is because of the risk/reward ratio of your profile, as usually a 10% down payment is enough. If you have that 40% you can look for another property that you can pay cash for that amount and forget about the banks.


If that's your conclusion, mine is that I'm not surprised that the bank won't give you a better offer.


Me too.

I think the same thing, that's why I almost never play them.


Agreed.


It depends, in some rooms they have removed Sit & Go's and replaced them with spins, which have more variance and are more profitable for the casino. In the houses that still keep them what they have done is to raise the blind structure in a similar move: it is more variance and more profitable for the casino.


It's not bad what you say but you are missing commenting on the large volume of tournaments you have to play for it to be profitable. Playing a multi-table tournament of 2K players or more and coming first is purely a matter of luck no matter how well you play. What is not a matter of luck is to have consistent results that indicate a positive EV and that is known by playing many tournaments.

With this there is a problem is that the variance is much higher than in cash tables and players who had very good results long ago in the long term, after a brutal variance moved to a modality with less variance or simply left poker.

From now on, it is better if you do as hosseinimr93 and examples suggested and as I can see you have already done in this case.

I just noticed that the airdrop free thread has disappeared. I don't know if he deleted it or for some reason he has been banned. It should be the former because scams are not moderated. I guess it was when he saw the tags and this thread.

I was messing with this thread because according to the title I thought the OP had bought a whole Bitcoin and that people were congratulating him and giving him merit without him providing proof, but I see he uploaded an image which he then deleted following sage advice for privacy.

As I see it is a small sum, I would also encourage you, OP, to continue to accumulate little by little but as I just said in another thread, I would recommend that you do so within a wealth building plan, the first step of which is that you have an emergency fund in your local currency sufficient to cover 3 to 6 months of expenses. Otherwise in case of any unforeseen event you may be forced to sell your bitcoin at a loss and this is something you have to avoid doing at all costs.

I also encourage you to change the title to something like: " I just purchased my first satoshis".

Why didn't you start it yourself? You haven't tagged the scammer or created the flag. If you are so clear about it, you should have at least tagged him. Asking others to do it without doing it yourself doesn't sound very coherent to me.

Without being able to verify what the OP says, at least this story rings true, unlike others in this section that are revealed to be patently false with you doing minimal analysis. Which means that either it is true or the OP has gone to great lengths to make it sound credible.

To the OP I would recommend that Bitcoin investment be encompassed within an overall wealth building plan. He seems to be on the right track, he has a job and rental income and is going to use 10% for DCA. Very good.

Think, OP, about having a 3-6 month emergency contingency spending fund, in fiat currency, not bitcoin. It doesn't matter if it devalues, it's like insurance, it's a price to pay for your peace of mind.

You could diversify more, but if you have cash-flowing RE and bitcoin as assets, I think you are doing well.

Well, first of all, as expected the duplicate thread with my question in it has been deleted, so I am not facing the problem any more.


Interesting but I don't think it would be useful for this particular case.


I think you have made a too exaggerated interpretation. I looked at the number of the rule, and I try to follow the rules, which I know are unofficial and there is some margin of interpretation, in what I am rule-obedient are those in which we all have clear that they are serious, that is, I do not plagiarize, for example.

But let's see what I wanted to say. In the other thread I asked something like this:


If in my next post I would have posted a reply in the original thread, just like that. Isn't that a duplicate post? I reported the other thread and hoped they would delete it, but maybe they wouldn't have, and here I think LoyceV's advice doesn't fit because the second post would look something like this.

I guess to avoid duplication I could add at the beginning, "As I said in the other thread, which I have reported and I hope it will be deleted..."

The thing is, as I say, I don't think it has much importance. It is not a situation in which people usually find themselves, and I think that the most that can happen to you is that they delete the duplicate post.

I will leave the thread open a little more before locking it.

Let me see if I understand the system you are trying to sell. Is it a system to set up a casino or is it a system to make money in the casino?


What references do you have for this forum? You should be able to make them public, send to people to Telegram for reference from this forum sounds fishy.

If you are going to write in a forum and tell us a story that we cannot verify if it is true, no matter how many pictures you attach, you could at least summarize it better.

As a summary I will tell you that, assuming what you say is true, things have been going well for you in spite of being an introvert, and not because of it. In life and in business it is better to be extroverted, without going overboard. There are only a few small fields, like mathematics for example, where being introverted can help you, or at least it is not a priori an impediment to progress.

The lady's story is too fantastic but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, what I'm not going to go into is commenting on it.

To summarize, I don't think there is a relationship between being introverted or extroverted and the success you can have with investments you make alone with a computer. If we go on to talk about business or large investments where you are going to deal with other people, obviously it is better to be extroverted.

I have replied in this thread:

Casino System 1100+ Slot games + 50 + Pragmatic games

But then I noticed that the thread is a duplicate of another one in the Digital Goods section.

He's changed it a bit, I guess so it's not obvious that it's a duplicate, but it's the same thing.

So, I thought I'd report it as a duplicate, and since I assume the thread will be trashed, I wanted to ask him the same question in the original thread. The thing is, I thought that if I do it before the thread is trashed, if it is finally trashed, I would also be breaking rule 12.

I don't think it has much importance, but it's a curiosity that came to me.

For the moment I will report the duplicate thread.

My friend, I hope you just made that up to write this post as a simple requirement to meet your posting quota in this section, otherwise I don't know what the hell you are doing writing in this section and continuing to gamble.

If you once lost your life savings you have to stop gambling forever, and think about gambling as little as possible, because you are one step away from losing it all again and even more (there are those who besides losing everything they have, ask for loans and lose them too).


Seek help and and leave all gambling forever. If you have a problem with gambling you have to stop like an alcoholic. You can't drink even a little drop anymore.
