1281  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do You trust Tether (USDT) Stablecoin? on: November 24, 2023, 04:22:50 PM
I'm in crypo world since 2021 only and since then I've noticed a lot of folks talking about Tether as being a potentional scam that may crash the markets one day and I've watched videos from crypto detectives/scam busters such as Coffeezilla and he makes some pretty fair points about Tether being the cryptos biggest scam.

I wanna personally know from people who have been in crypto for little longer than I have and maybe know a few things more or could share their personal view on Tether.

My side question to this would also be: Which type of stablecoin do You find the most credible in the Crypto space?

Thanks in advance for more experienced folks for sharing their insight!


My personal view is that there are 2 stable coins that are the most credible and I personally use both, namely Tether (USDT) and USDC, especially USDT. For example, I want to deposit to an exchange using P2P, I do it with Tether USDT, what else is Tether top 3 coinmarketcap based on Coingecko and CoinMarketCap from I used to use Tether, it's still safe, it depends on which stable coin you want to use, but do your own research
I think USDT is a stable currency and trustworthy. I trade using this USDT most of the time, and also use USDT in p2p transactions. Yes what you said is correct I think these two are the most used and trusted among stablecoins.
Trust me, USDT is a stable coin that has much reputation and value in my country here as it's used for almost everything and when I do gamble on online casino, USDT is the preferable coins as it much stable than Bitcoin and other altcoins in the market. USDT is a coin that have gain popularity because of the big advantage it always get over my local currency as most person also see it as a nice investment coins to get some extra profits as the usdt always beat our currency as a fast rate due to devaluation of ours.
1282  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Durning bull market we will received many good bounty? on: November 24, 2023, 04:10:16 PM
The bounty, unfortunately, is not what it used to be, but in general there are prospects for returning to the previous level of earnings. There is no need to lose hope, you need to continue to participate in all projects. The potential for rewards within the cryptocurrency space remains dynamic and often depends on the specific participation levels, projects, and market trends.
You are not complaining about this as many of friends who were also early partaker of some bounty project have aslo been saying something like this and it made me wonder that people must have been earning in fortune for them to still be an interest on these projects because with what some bounty project have become these days, it made wonder why people still get involved in these things because some of the project are a total waist of time as they are all valueless at the end.

It's better for you to invest in several potential altcoins with as much money as you have. By investing in several coins, such as BNB, ETH, BTC, you can get the profits that you collect in the several coins you invest. But you have to buy it when the price is low and sell when the price is high.
That's the issue there, buying when the coins is low is something that people who are naive on crypto space always shy away from especially when they are not certain of the future of coins and you won't blame anyone to think so because buying several can be dangerous as aslo it can be beneficial but the risk involved is too high and most people tend to avoid such crazy risk. I remembered when my friend actually bought some altcoins, he bought about four different coins at all different price and lately he was complaining that most of the coins have lost it value making him to be at a lost.
1284  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in altcoins is a hedge over Bitcoin how true is this? on: November 24, 2023, 03:58:44 PM
Investing in altcoins is a hedge over Bitcoin is not entirely correct. Altcoin prices often have a correlation with Bitcoin prices. If the price of Bitcoin goes down, altcoins also tend to experience a decrease in price. Most of the altcoins are still highly dependent on Bitcoin price movements because Bitcoin is still the dominant cryptocurrency with strong market influence. If Bitcoin suffers a significant decline, altcoins can also be affected by negative market sentiment.

Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency and it remains the pacesetter for every crypto coin today,  this is an undisputable fact in the crypto space.  Altcoins are looking to take the advantage of the coming bitcoin ATH and bull run, to also increase their assets with more investors that will be looking for alternative coins to invest and increase their profits. Without bitcoin, I doubt that we can have any significant altcoin bull run, because none can compere to the influence of bitcoin in the crypto market.

Altcoins remain alternatives to bitcoin, and for now bitcoin still dictates the bull and bear runs, for cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin is still more preferable and everyone in the crypto space is well aware of this and that's why most long term investor that consider buying Bitcoin like also considering altcoins but they only do this only in a period like this when the bull is somehow getting close because most altcoin tend to boost very fast which for these investors is still worth trying as they can edge ofd some profits in short time with their real investment still intact with the supreme coin@bitcoin.

Most likely they are mobile users who are too lazy to edit the part they want to bring into the discussion,
I disagree that mobile users make up the majority of pyramid posts because, as someone who uses a phone for posting, I too am aware that pyramid posting is not ideal and I don't quote every single thread that someone posts. Mobile users who know how to quote properly are not lazy to trim their quotes.

I am not saying most mobile users are practicing this pyramid quoting style, but those who do are mostly mobile users and they feel lazy to edit the content and just go one and continue to edit the whole. Even I do use mobile for bitcointalk and sometimes I have to comment on something, when I have to I will try to edit as much as possible or just clear the whole and stay on topic or if I want to respond to the previous ones reply I just use ^ kind of symbol and like that.
The places where I have seen much of this type of posting would be the gambling discussion thread, especially very popular ones like the premier league thread and so many other football discussion thread. Well I don't know if you can term this to mostly mobile users as I know when it comes to laziness even the users that are using PC and desktop can also be lazy as this is one of the most common trait among human beings.
1286  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling vs trading on: November 23, 2023, 03:46:02 PM
If you have the privilege to hodl then take advantage in this as your investment in bitcoin is to give you profits which can serves as your earnings means, then don't hesitate to grab in this opportunity regardless of what may be your challenges because bullrun will always come after Halving, also the value of bitcoin remains ever increasing and this is part of the reason why some have chosen bitcoin over any other forms of assets investment because it's relatively reliable.

If you are not privilege then I think you make out the opportunity for yourself because Bitcoin investment is an opportunity that everyone must not fail to miss especially now that you are aware of it, if you are not aware then I would have taught that atleast you weren't aware but if you know and preach out this taught and then fail to make out to achieve with this chance then it would be really disappointing, because after the whole bull season has past the only thing you might saying is just regretful feelings.
1287  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bnb after next 5years on: November 23, 2023, 03:39:10 PM
Few years ago, didn’t though that bnb could reach such milestone as it is 3rd most invested altcoin in crypto world. But most of exchange tokens are fall down for being useless (only use for discounting exchange fee) as well as after exchange get hacked. So what do you think about bnb in next 5years?
Is it really worth for long investment?  Will it increase like ether or become dump like others exchange coins?

I am sure that BNB will remain the best investment for the long term, because BNB has a very good project, popular and widely used by many people (exchange and blockchain), although maybe BNB is not in the top 5 on coinmarketcap anymore, but I am still confident that the price of BNB will continue to increase and make a new ATH price every time Bitcoin makes a new ATH price, therefore I still recommend and advise you to invest in BNB for ​​the long term, because you will definitely get a lot of profit from investing in BNB.
With the recent propaganda that happened with binance and CZ, I would like to argue about the future of the BNB coins although I would say BNB has always been my choice when it comes to paying for so many things online but the purpose of saving I won't really count it a choice I would prefer over the USDT and that's because of the rate at which my country currency devalues so fast against the USD, over the few months if I had held some USDT I would have gotten some profits from it, at least double of the money I would have used For the investment.
1288  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How quick do altcoins pump in bull run? on: November 23, 2023, 03:31:13 PM
You wouldn't believe that if I say most of altcoin pumps instantaneously because they follow the trend of bitcoin, so btc pumps, those alt trader will be in hurry to pump as well but that only limited to some certain altcoin with good fundamental.
the good altcoin are always the one that pumps so always watch them out.
I think I will believe this as all altcoins tend to follow the pump of Bitcoin and we have confirmed this from the little time I have seen Bitcoin started pumping. The previous bull season has made it clear that only Bitcoin isn't the possible way of earning some income as some altcoins also pump massively but the only difference is that as they pump it's same way they also dump. This issue is why cry out in period when everyone is supposed to be smiling some just make mistake and buy the wrong coins.
1289  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to altcoins ? on: November 23, 2023, 03:04:14 PM
Are you still just starting out in this trade, mate.  You have chosen the right investment by buying BTC.  If you still feel that you haven't made a profit, then continue to hold the BTC holdings that you millet until you make a profit

I would like to clear you that an investment in Bitcoin will only yield profit when you are patient for it to work it way to it and I feel now is the perfect time to actually buy if you want to make some profits when the bull season comes because the price of Bitcoin is very friendly now to buy although there are some altcoins that can also give you huge profits during this period but they are very risky but if you are planned on short term operations then you can actually get something out of your investment in these altcoins.

I think that's would be called ban evasion but I don't see this rarely happen because the person that have being ban would try to do everything to try and cheat the system and since their is no special system deviced for this kind of case it would be difficult for the ban person to be caught but this can be possible somehow with how the poster behave in relation to his old account and the new one because some persons are just the same with how they posts.
The thing is that the forum can make use of tools that can recognize and link ban evaders to their previous accounts. This can be done with some tools that can know the exact device and the IP address used and be used to link the accounts together. But the forum is doing nothing about it just as you said. This is just one of the things which this forum only take lightly which is good like that, unless another user is able to link the accounts and report it for ban evasion.
Hmmm, I see your point but I think this particular solution can also be manuover by someone who is desperately trying to evade his ban. I think you should be familiar with some tools also in the internet to actually bypass the identification of IP address used for browsing, tools like VPN apps can actually work very well for this kind of security as it can change your location in an instance.

There's this challenge I'm having when it comes to posting a link inside a text on the forum, what I mean is that, I have seen people dropping links I there threads and comment in this Fillippones thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412657.0 they kind of encript the link inside the text and what you see is only the text that could be the title of there post of replies, i wanted to do this but I have tried it severally but couldn't. I would appreciate if someone can help out with this or at least drop a useful link that can guide me on how to go about this.
You have gotten the illustration already so I think it's best now you actually lock this thread to avoid more similar and out of points answer to this particular question. I think you should also try out the superbot notifier so that you would get notified whenever someone quotes or mentioned you to keep track of your discussion.

If you have two accounts and one of the two accounts is banned, that means the second account will be banned if known. Also if your account has been banned and you open another account and be posting (than on meta about ban appeal or so), your account will be banned again
I think that's would be called ban evasion but I don't see this rarely happen because the person that have being ban would try to do everything to try and cheat the system and since their is no special system deviced for this kind of case it would be difficult for the ban person to be caught but this can be possible somehow with how the poster behave in relation to his old account and the new one because some persons are just the same with how they posts.

I actually think the girl was right. We all have that civic right of Right to speech and expression and she was just expressing herself. She only said what she has been seeing. Them arresting her is totally wrong because they didn’t even have evidence or warrant for her arrest. It was absurb for them arresting her.They wouldn’t have gotten angry if she wasn’t right.
Yeah it’s good to control what we say in the public but in my opinion we shouldn’t neglect the fact that we have right. If not because money, power ad fame has taken the order of the day she was actually innocent.
If you know how this country dey then you go know say to control your tongue is every important because the whole system is whack and especially the police force. But notwithstanding know how to talk is very important because many many people don mis out for their blessings because of the way dem dey talk to people. But the police detaining the girl is not a new thing because there are so many cases of these kind of issue even the one way no be the person dey at fault the police go still turn am upsidedown against the girl or people.
1294  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Buy bitcoin before the halving on: November 23, 2023, 02:07:56 PM
Bitcoin halving is going too happen next year, as we all know, people in all countries are waiting to see this halving. Bitcoin halving is a very happy time for investors because after the Bitcoin halving, it is not too late for a bull market to enter the Bitcoin market. Of course, we've seen in history that the Bitcoin market goes up a lot right after the halving, and it's highest ATH. If a person likes too trade then this can be another trap to lose money as trading is always risky. When you start trading in the market, if you have an idea about the market, u will face a lot of losses and lose money, so it is better to refrain from trading. If u plan for short term investment it may give you small profit for military period but not high profit. That's why u should stop trading and instead plan too invest for long term, it will give you high profit. When you invest Bitcoin before it halves and hold until the bull market comes, you are guaranteed too double your profits.
It's a matter of choice when it's comes to trade and believe that they are some people who claim to be very expert traders and I think traders can only lose during this period as they can also use it to their advantage one way or the other. But I feel in order to be in the safe side, you that you are not an expert on trading should just avoid the whole process at once and rely on buying as much Bitcoin as you can so that after the halving you can earn some profits from the much expected and speculated bull season that comes after it.

1296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: November 23, 2023, 01:45:12 PM
I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

To be honest in the past I have spent a lot of money gambling. What I mean here is that I spent all my savings on gambling. Maybe the nominal amount is not that big but it makes me feel like a gambling addict. I spent 5 months of my savings on gambling. Currently I am aware and am in the stage of improving my own financial condition. Have you ever felt like a gambling addict? and how much did you lose in gambling?

       -  I have never experienced anything like what you experienced, and I don't want to experience anything like that. Because when I gamble, I make sure that I only control and limit what I gamble.

Because this is what I have started and made a habit of as a gambler, and this is also what a responsible gambler should say. Just play and enjoy the games. As long as you win and lose, you both enjoy them, and you don't take them seriously.
If you always get affected by your loses then reaching this mood won't be any hassle for you because you won't be knowing what you are doing and for everytime you gamble you can let go of the loses and before you know you have started chasing your loses which is the most easiest signs to know that you heading towards being a gambling habit.
1297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When does the moment come when the gambler loses control? on: November 23, 2023, 01:36:09 PM
But I believe that the greatest dependence on gambling appears at the moment of loss, when the player admits in his head the idea that he could earn so much. He is disappointed, but wants to recoup. It is at this moment that the desire comes to play again and again in order to return to the previous state.


This seems to be a common situation for gamblers who don't grasp the risks involved and refuse to acknowledge that losses are part of the game. It's an undying issue in the gambling world for many irresponsible gamblers spending more than their actual budget. Unfortunately, some even reach the point of blaming gambling for their misfortunes rather than reflecting on their own approach to it.
It's very funny when you go in playing for profits and after the loses inquired, the whole feeling of profits gets out of your head and the fight for your own funds start kicking and on that moment you are emotional destabilize and nothing you will ever try will work out for you. And if you don't know how to control yourself you could go all out and lose your whole bank role in just few seconds. The gambler is just eager to recover from his lost and forget the more he tries the deeper he gets involved.
1298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: November 23, 2023, 01:27:27 PM
On the contrary, it’s not very easy to make money in gambling. Perhaps notions like these are what makes people go into gambling hoping to make easy money quickly only to later realize after having bad losses, that it’s not so easy to make money with gambling.
Of course, it’s great to win money and most people would love winning money but the desire to win money should not cloud any sense of judgement. It’s not that easy to win money in gambling and if you do win, don’t be in a hurry to stake more in a bid to win more else, you’re going to be very sorry.
Well, it's obvious that it's difficult to make money in gambling, it's not 'perhaps' but it's the reason that they are gambling, the allure of easy money and instant fortune is just too tempting for them to not test their luck, I don't agree though that they are the kind of people that will realize all of that, they're likely to just brush it off and call it a day and then gamble again, I am sure that's what most gamblers who think like that are going to do.

I don't even know how these phrase even exist "Gambling is not a steady income have", I don't know how that can be a possibility that can happen, maybe if you are regular poker player or blackjack player that can keep a decent win streak to keep going but those two possibilities I've given it's unlikely that someone really does it. It's kinda weird that people even say it because it's never been a steady income haven in the first place.
You are not the  only one who is confused by the phrase and like what I always say when I see something like this, I just think it's a lie being told to himself by the gambler because I have come across so many gamblers who actually think they can actually do or should say take their gambling habits as a steady income heaven that he can use to pay for his children school fees and feed his house hold. It's funny how people can blatantly tell themselves all these lies and even believe in it and these kind of stories or lies are very dangerous and can entrap another gambler to become upsets with the habit feeling he can acquire same feat being talked about.
1299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 23, 2023, 01:08:05 PM
Liverpool is one of the favorite teams in the European league this year. I don't see many teams that can block them. Some teams coming from UCL may be strong and force Liverpool, but I am sure that Liverpool has the power to beat any team with its great squad. They can even beat Manchester City.
Indeed. Liverpool and Leverkusen are the most favorite teams to win Europa League title this season. I really hope these teams will be in the final round, it will be an ideal final. Liverpool has a strong squad, their squad quality have been proven enough, they even can beat Man City in EPL. Sure, Liverpool has the capability to beat any team but unfortunately they sometimes do unnecessary mistakes and it leads to the losses. Sometimes, Liverpool players play underperformance, especially their attackers. If they can play consistently and avoid the mistakes, no doubt Liverpool will win this competition this season.


At the moment it is true that Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the favorites apart from AS Roma, but we also have to wait until the Round 16 playoff is finished because we will see several other strong teams that could be their challengers, maybe there will be Manchester United or one from four teams from Group F of the Champions League, and competition in the European league will be even more interesting because the competition will be more difficult for any team.
The quickest opportunity for Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool to face each other is the quarter-finals because in the round of 16, all the teams that win the group will only face the team that wins the playoffs, but the most interesting thing for the competition is when the top teams meet each other at least in the semifinals or finals so that to be the ideal finale.
If Bayer Leverkusen met Liverpool it would be interesting because Xabi Alonso was once a player at Liverpool and was quite successful in bringing this team to the Champions League title.
that's true because lots of team will eventually fall out of the champions league and join the Europa league and believe me this always makes the competition more competitive although the teams in the Europa league are also strong contenders of the trophy. For the case of Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool, I think jorgen kloop will always come out victorious although it would be an interesting match to see how the Liverpool legend faces off with his old club.
1300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in psychic betting? on: November 23, 2023, 01:01:17 PM
Psychic betting is placing bets based on the prediction of individuals or even animals because of the belief that they possess supernatural power to accurately determine the outcome of a bet. There is the true story of Fatih Ozcan[1] who helped his boss Hayati Kucukkoylu to win a $1.7 million lottery through the power of dreams. He claimed that he received the revelation about the Euro Millions tickets from his dreams. There is also Paul the Psychic Octopus [2] who is known to predict international football games correctly. He even predicted correctly that Spain would win the  2010 FIFA World Cup. Some persons also believe in the gambling predictions of religious leaders [3] to place bets. Some people believe that lunatics are possessed by some supernatural powers so they also depend on them for predictions.

Do you take these Psychic predictions seriously?

For me I think all these will just be placed under the state mere coincidence and nothing more because they are also lots of times that the same octopus might predicted wrongly and if it's all psychic predictions then what would you call the wrong predictions all are you telling me that for every time that the so called psychic octopus predicted are all correct because I would like to beg the differ and believe it's all coincidence.
