I would take all her declarations with quite a pinch of salt. She has made her "political character" this strong by pretty much pissing against EU's wind. I don't see this a solid call for action, I see it more a (meaningless) "political declaration". I would like to see anything actually done from the things she is telling, but I doubt that anything would happen (or change).

Her actions do have a good justification: card payments are expensive and the merchant has to pay those fees, which, for small amounts and small shops (with no big contracts with Visa/Mc) can become significant. Of course, Bitcoin fixes this.
On the other hand if card payments can be this easily avoided by merchants, they can this easily underreport their sales and their income and not pay the correct amount of taxes.
So this can easily make de state lose big money, which I'm sure some will tell her about.


I think that the total price also matters. Iirc here if one wants to pay for a flat (50-80k EUR), paying 10k EUR in cash is just fine, but if one wants to pay cash 10k EUR of the price of a car (10-20k) it's not allowed.
And your point is also interesting: the northern countries have no issues in correctly declaring everything for tax purposes. Moving towards south.. this is changing 


I would not say I criticize her. I am just telling that what he's saying may not work out or may not even (ever) get implemented.

Ahaa, in regula. Nu ma gandisem asa departe.
Dar sa stii ca esti cam pesimist. Zici tu de ultimii 13 ani, dar progresia este geometrica, iar ultimii 2-3 ani deja au fost impresionanti. De exemplu se gandea cineva serios acum .. 6-7 ani ca Tesla va cumpara Bitcoin? Sau ca bancile vor incepe sa ofere clientilor (si mai ales firmelor) produce legate de bitcoin? Sau ca PayPal isi va lasa utilizatorii sa cumpere bitcoin (chiar daca s-ar putea sa fie doar titluri de valoare echivalente bitcoin, tot e mare lucru)? Sau ca unele tari vor avea bitcoin moneda oficiala?!
O generatie e mult. Sunt aproape sigur ca deja copiii nostri au sanse faorte mari sa plateasca gradinarului in bitcoin. Poate nu tuturor gradinarilor, asta poate copiii lor, dar totusi...

...Doar ca, dupa cum discutaseram, cel mai probabil ca aproape toti cei interesati vor sti cine a platit, cat si carui gradinar...

Yep, Stake did very good. Their name is in team name and it's also all over the car, one cannot miss it.
There was a news in December I think. A lot of crypto companies have left Formula 1, leaving money problems here and there too iirc. It was not only FTX, I think the list had 3 or 4 companies at least (3 were easy to remember: FTX/Merc, Velas/Ferrari, Tezos/RBR, but I think that there were more). I feared crypto.com would do the same. So saying "crypto" now in Formula 1 is a bit sensitive.

And about Sportsbet, I don't know, all eyes seem to be on Piastri, but it can be a risky bet. Still, did anybody check how it would Sportsbet.io logo look on papaya orange? (I've seen it on so many colors, so why not?)

Is it only me who finds that this topic and the one(s) made by fishy001 yesterday seem too closely related?
I would not be surprised if it's the same person. (And, while multi accounts are allowed, ban evasion still isn't.)


I think that it's actually more related to Yahoo uncovering ban evasion than anything else.

This is how online interaction works, you should never expect people be too nice with you, especially when you make mistakes or post inaccuracies.
Get the useful part off it and ignore the rest; don't worry too much.

Aici cred ca nu ne-am inteles... ma refeream ca fiul sau nepotul gradinarului sa ajuinga sa fie interesta de bitcoin ca investitie si sa-si convinga bunicul sa accepte si el bitcoin, respectiv sa lucreze si el si cu bitcoin...


Nu cred ca e nevoie. Dupa cum ai zis si tu, imparatul e gol!


Vezi ca ai facut ceva gresit la textul si linkul de acolo.

Thank you for the new raffle and for continuing the great series!

Ooo, deja seria continua! Multumim de postare! O sa ma inscriu imediat.


De fapt observ o diferenta: acesta are ca premiu o moneda/un jeton albastru, mai rar!


Bafta sa avem!

You should first tell what hardware have you used for mining.
Since your question is this generic, I can tell that I did withdraw when I was mining.
But I've never used cloud mining, because I understood very fast that those are scams.
And I have a feeling that you didn't mine with any hardware, instead you've gone for the nice (meaningless!) numbers the cloud mining scam websites are displaying.

Reamintire: mai aveti doar azi si maine timp pentru prima predictie de pret la concursul Sinbad pentru aceasta luna.

No worries 
As a suggestion, in the past years TryNinja's website has returned much better search results on bitcointalk than google. At least for me.
For this very case: https://ninjastic.space/search?content=%22selling+accounts%22+%2Ballowed+%2Bbitcointalk

Plus, it's also part of forum's (unofficial) rules (point 18).

Thank you for sponsoring this game!

It really depends...
Some communities have started using solar power to mine bitcoin and now they get money off that.
Some communities use Bitcoin as a coin and they can make payments without the need for banks.
Some came to bitcointalk to read/learn/understand what's bitcoin about and maybe invested some money into it (or into its mining).
However, people can come to bitcointalk and get caught into hyip scams, compulsive gambling or even altcoins (the list of examples is actually much longer) and lose money.
So, as I said, it depends...

I'm surprised that you, as Legendary, don't know. However, selling accounts is allowed for at least two reasons:
* if it would be disallowed, the sellers would simply sell somewhere else
* this is a free (speech) forum

However, buying and selling accounts is seen as shady, hence those caught doing this are getting tagged.

Bitcoin addresses do contain a checksum and the proper wallets do check it before allowing you send coins to an address.
This being said I'm not sure what would achieve such a device as you propose.

You can have a clipboard virus and send to a different (but valid!) address than his.
He can have a clipboard virus and tell you a different (but valid!) address than where he expects the coins.
You may have been sending from a scam platform that doesn't process withdrawals/payments.
He may have the wallet on a scam platform or one with bugs that ignored the incoming money and didn't fund the account.
(there may be many more cases that didn't come to my mind right now)

Would the device you propose fix this? No.
Would the device you propose do more than what a proper wallet already does? No.

And then..?

Copying a working business is not easy, especially where trust is involved.
The newcomers have to do at least something cheaper (which is not possible) or better (which I dare to say that in this case it's probably also not possible).

There is a huge difference between untouched savings and untouchable savings.

Rational people will have, if they can afford it (!), some savings they will not touch unless something big and bad happens. Does this means they'll die before spending all their money? Yes, and it's fine. Having a certain peace of mind has its costs.

Untouchable savings is imho stupidly risky. They have their purpose in case of people with certain addictions, but it's something that has to be treated with extreme attention. It's more advisable to allow other (trusted!) person/entity take care of those savings than lock them and make them untouchable, since if a health issue comes up, one may need that money, but may not be able to touch it.

I think that even if I don't take into account the CEX-KYC problems (since Gazeta already did), depositing such big amounts of money into others' pockets "just in case" is by far the worse idea.
The point here was about avoiding problems, not getting into bigger ones.
Bitcoin is about being your own bank. Since you can easily store/hide your wallet's seed in your luggage (not all in the same place!), why use a CEX?!!?

You do have a good point here 
Still, I think that by making such price predictions on Bitcoin, their goal is to advertise their own business, not Bitcoin itself. That's all.

Well done @yahoo62278 for bringing this up. I've explained in his thread that he's wrong, I've tagged him and.. the rest is up to the mods.

I don't know how the evil fee related page looks like, maybe it worth taking a look onto it, maybe it needs some information added to avoid this kind of confusion (which, as I wrote there too, may or may not be on purpose).
