IMO, only borovichok was inappropriate and the rest was accurate.
I don't see using AI posting should be on the red tag, it might be good if it is a neutral one for only awareness from others, as long as it wasn't copy-pasting from other websites.  Reporting to the mods is the right thing.

tjtonmoy - cheating bounties (it's of forum rules)
jvanname - trolling (it's on forum rules)
Symmetrick - changed password, suspected change hand.

But my question is, have all of them been presented with information to defend themselves?  It seems there's a chance that it will turn to neutral as the feedback says.

Storing BTC in Trezor is recommended by many people and besides Trezor there are Ledger and others that you can use. Congratulations to you who have finally used Trezor to store your BTC.
If I'm not mistaken, there are a bunch of reports about wallet hacks on Trezor.
So therefore, I might consider this Ledger wallet as a good hardware wallet than Trezor.  It has a lot of security features that you can trust or can countermeasures against attacks.

I use exchange when I want to convert my crypto into fiat and nothing else, but I didn't let my coins sleep on exchange for the long term.
It should be your coins stored on the wallet that you have full control over, never trust SAFU at all on the exchange because IMO, that's only a marketing strategy that people have their trust.

(5) plan your entry and exit point: most times this lack of planning cost us dearly, because failing to plan is like planning to fail.
The right term in trading is that, STOP-LOSS.
This is very important in trading especially if you're new to this battlefield.  You should have all those battle gears in order to start trading.
A lot of people lose their money quickly because they don't have even a knowledge or lack of knowledge entering the market, they just rely on their luck, not their skills.

We've seen a bunch of advice from newbies about trading tips but I don't know if they apply this in real trading activities.
124  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Blockchain vs Platform vs Chain on: January 07, 2024, 11:15:30 PM
a platform is the parent blockchain of tokens.

Does that mean the Platform IS the Blockchain the token is on?

Can it also mean something else?

JH
Because tokens don't have their blockchain.
Tokens are usually created on existing blockchain platforms that support the creation of the platform, or to develop another utility.
When someone wants to create a new token, they deploy a smart contract on the chosen blockchain platform that can be transacted on the same blockchain platform, and all token transactions are recorded on the same blockchain they use.

The said above was right, many are confused about the coin and the token thinking they are the same which I think you must understand first.
125  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: have anyone notice this $btcinu on: January 06, 2024, 03:39:49 PM
It's new to my ears and I found it's a memecoin.
There's nothing wrong if you want to take a risk, it's a high risk to invest in altcoins like this, especially in memecoin.

However, this isn't new.
How many developers believe they can create a cryptocurrency that improves upon certain aspects of Bitcoin, such as scalability, transaction speed, or privacy features?  How many projects existed the same as this?
These new coins aim to offer unique features that address perceived limitations in Bitcoin, but in fact, Bitcoin is still the best to invest in.

Look at their unique solution.
  • EASY ACCESS WORLDWIDE
  • INSTANT GAINS
  • INCREDIBLE TREND POTENTIAL
  • NO LIMITS

Merit is for good posts. The user shouldn't matter.
You nailed it, direct to the point.

If you think the post helps you and you've agreed with it, that deserves to be merited, it doesn't matter the user account status. (inactive, having a red tag, or even a banned account).

Look out for this user account, which has been inactive since December 13, 2010, but until now year 2024 received merits.

I haven't sent a PM for a long time bro, I still don't understand what happened Sad
It's explained above but yet you didn't understand.

Just like what was posted by theymos years passed.
Ridiculous Blizzard DMCA takedown notice

So you posted something like images or content that's copyrighted by someone, a company, or a big website that has already established a brand name.  I think that's the thread that you created a long time ago related to selling stolen cards.
128  Other / Meta / Re: Please can someone authorized help? I do not know what to do on: January 04, 2024, 02:15:13 PM
You're still lucky that it's not a permanent ban.
Usually, copywriting is equal to plagiarism which has a big punishment of surely banning the account and as I said, you're lucky enough because the lowest to copyright is the DCMA.

Just read this, https://bitcointalk.org/contact.php.
It might help you to understand the legal complaints.
129  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top 10 Gainers Among Token on: January 02, 2024, 11:59:26 PM
Why all of them are different tokens that listed on Coinmarketcap.
They also have Gainers and Losers tokens.
Are they different?

People who invest in tokens are most likely into gambling to me.
I do not even know which of them has potential, so congrats if you invested in all of these but be careful, it will become shitcoin without knowing you.
130  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Im looking for funded traders to trade with my capital on: January 02, 2024, 11:40:08 PM
Im looking for traders who will trade with my capital and instructions.
You will be using my funds and trade according with my method.

Anyone interested ? And you will be paying my share every week to me or 2 weekly how i want.
You need to have some experince Im not gona teach you basics so i hope to find some good partners.

Thank you !
On which exchange?

I've been a victim of scam attempts like this before.  When someone asked me to trade using his fund and the exchnage that I didn't know, but since I'm using his fund and there's nothing to lose with me, I tried it out.  But when he said to withdraw the fund it asked for a deposit and he told me to place a deposit using my own money.  I hope this isn't a similar case.

If so, this is a legitimate offer, you may be prone to scams too.
If you know how to trade, just do it by yourself instead.
131  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for January on: January 02, 2024, 11:26:27 PM
I thought last month the price of Bitcoin had a massive correction since it's more in holidays and people will need money during these holiday seasons.  But it is not, Bitcoin price is maintained at the price of $40k which is impossible to decline in January by this month.
So my prediction would be the price will still at the range of $40k plus the additional factor of ETF events might also be the reason Bitcoin will possibly create a massive pump this month.

So I'm not convinced yet if the price will strike and pump with this month.
132  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Can you recommend a web wallet other than blockchain.info? No KYC on: January 02, 2024, 11:09:47 PM
Can you recommend a web wallet other than blockchain.info for bitcoin primarily and with no kyc (no id). Thanks in advance
If you are looking for web wallets, you have blockchain.info and trustwallet.com but I strongly suggest you to do not use them. Still if you decide to use them, at least generate an address and import, don't rely on the address that they generate because you have 0 access to keys.
To be fair, the blockchain.info wallet is annoying, you need to verify email every time you try to log in. It's good for security but it's not comfortable. For safety reasons, I suggest you use electrum wallet. I know it doesn't have the best UI/UX design but it's the best choice in terms of safety.
I tend to agree, I'd rather prefer to use a trusted software wallet than a web wallet like blockchain.info.
There are a lot of complaints against them like losing their fund, blocking or freezing their accounts, the worst case, there's no customer support to answer your queries once there's a problem.

Straight forward to the software wallet Electrum, you have full control over your keys.  It's completely no KYC.
133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did anyone else know there is an Insured BTC wallet? on: January 02, 2024, 10:56:07 PM
I dont know that there are still people who believe in this crypto insurance company these days, trusting third-party companies for your crypto isn't a good idea at all.  Might they forget that Bitcoin was created in a decentralized way that you can protect your money on your own and no need for a third-party service.

Even though Binance built a good reputation and has marketing ads of having SAFU of all customer's funds I still don't believe in them.
I know how to keep my funds safe.  

I doubt that this service will end up scam soon.
134  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Scam Sniffer 2023: Crypto Phishing Scams Drain $300 Million from 320,000 Users on: January 01, 2024, 11:59:32 PM
I'm just curious if these 324,082 total victims are all new in the crypto space.

I think those people who engaged in discussions about how to avoid scams in this community might be a great weapon to defend themselves from all kinds of cyber attacks that lead to scams.

Notable Wallet Drainers


Based on the reports they stopped services and turned into wallet drainers.
So we must avoid services that provide personal information and possibly most of them require KYC.
135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to check if an altcoin is a scam on: January 01, 2024, 11:45:04 PM
I'd say looking at exchange listing to verify if a project is legit is probably one of the worstrways to determine that.
Exactly and I tend to agree with this, even though listed on a big exchange the chances of getting scammed are still there.

IMO, it matters on transparency.
Everything should be transparent, from the team, and community engagement, and the last is you can verify on Github because it is an open-source project.  Open-source projects allow the community to review the code for transparency and security.

Another is if it is listed on the market.
Beware the market manipulation, we should understand how tokens are distributed and whether measures are in place to prevent market manipulation.
136  Other / Meta / Re: Opinion on Spelling Check on: December 30, 2023, 11:31:43 PM
I know this isn't exactly microsoft word but I am curious to know if you think that the Bitcoin Talk Forum is probably more real and authentic because of the lack of a spell check?
I think this is not necessary at all though your intention is good.
As long as your post is readable and understandable without violating forum rules that's good enough while you're here in the forum.

Besides, we can install a spell checker on our own and that's our responsibility to check or double-check before you post it, and don't forget to hit the "Preview" first before the "Post" button.

I tend to agree with their suggestion above, Grammarly helps you with this and I think you didn't use it now.
137  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Safety first before accumulation, a lesson I learnt the hard way on: December 30, 2023, 02:34:34 PM
If you can accumulate Bitcoin every week or months, brothers and sisters you can afford a hardware wallet, I know you have a goal, to reach 0.3 BTC but mind you, making sure you hold the 0.3BTC securely is the most important thing, don't work hard for scammers to reap your reward, safety first.
I've used a software wallet Electrum for how many years but I never compromise my private key or lose funds.
Though it's highly recommended to buy a hardware wallet, however, it isn't necessary to buy a hardware wallet if you know how to create your software wallet safely and how to keep your private key safe.  In short, it's a matter of how to keep your private key safely.

So it doesn't mean you have a hardware wallet you're safe from scammers.

However, it's a reasonable amount that you need to buy a hardware wallet if you hold a big amount for long-term purposes.
For larger amounts of Bitcoin that you intend to hold for the long term, IMO, a hardware wallet may provide an extra layer of security.  But, if you frequently make transactions and need quick access to your funds, a software wallet may be more suitable for me than a hardware wallet.
138  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Master the Art of Crypto Trading with These 5 Simple Tips on: December 30, 2023, 02:06:04 PM
Jesus Christ I was at least expecting something new. Sorry but Master Trading or whatever is not attainable from tips lol.
I tend to agree, I didn't see something new in those tips, besides, it has been discussed here so many times.

But for me, the most important is the stop-loss, when to enter or exit a trade and have a plan or stick to the plan.
By doing this you can manage and minimize possible losses that you may encounter.

Adding to OP tips.
IMO, choose a well-established and reputable crypto exchange, and don't let your fund sleep on their wallet for the long term.
I hope this will help.
139  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My btc full year plan 2024 on: December 30, 2023, 01:46:25 PM
That prediction would be likely possible.

I noticed that it's just because of the holiday season, which includes December and January.
Most likely it reduced trading volumes as many market participants took time off and lower liquidity during these periods possibly can result in more significant price swings or let's say price down time.

Remember that halving that we expect is near to come that could possibly have an effect right after a few months when it will successfully occur.
140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Google and X ads are the new weapon for crypto scammers on: December 26, 2023, 11:53:02 PM
Upon reading this thread, I think that it was the same or connected to the thread that was recently created by @Amphenomenon on the Beginners & Help board.  
It's Our Dependency on Google.
There's a guide there that you can read on how to protect yourself from a possible scam in Google ads.

As I can say, we should be careful when clicking link ads on Google, because some ads use clickbait tactics to attract users' attention just to click the link.
