1301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what is your reason for gifting bitcoin on: February 25, 2023, 07:46:24 PM
If $300 worth of bitcoin is given to someone who doesn't have a job and have been looking for opportunity to invest in bitcoin.  Will it be possible for the person to focus on this investment without selling at the moment because of the present financial situation. I'm asking this question because of people who wish to gift bitcoin to people who are going through difficult financial challenge,  is there any need to give bitcoin as gift to people who need money to settle urgent financial problems.

Or bitcoin should only be given to those who can truly invest and yield profits.  Can you gift bitcoin to random people who may not make profit from it.

If you gift bitcoin to a person who is in a financial crisis, what will he do? For sure, he will want to spend the bitcoin and for that purpose, he will convert his bitcoin into fiat. A person who needs money will not be able to save bitcoins for future investment purposes.
So in my opinion, if your intention is to gift bitcoin so that he may keep it safe in his wallet, then you should find a person who is financially strong and has no urgent need for money.

In general, when I would gift bitcoin to anyone, my intention will be to increase the adoption of bitcoin as when another person will get some bitcoins he will be curious to know more about bitcoin.

1304  Economy / Economics / Re: How rich would I be? on: February 25, 2023, 06:16:13 PM
For those of us who have been exposed to cryptocurrency and have had to believe in its continued existence by delving into its use;
How rich could I be if I use DCA strategy to invest in Bitcoin continuously until it reaches its 21million limit? Knowing how much it has gotten to now at 19.15million.
How long would be a long time in years for this limit to be reached and what opportunities would be made available to those who invested in owing these coins and still do as at the time?
Will those who earn from campaigns, offer services online or conduct business with cryptocurrency be so rich, seeing that they have been in the game long and have accessed or have access in the form of holdings or savings or have its coins as payment in one form or another?

Bitcoin will reach its 21 million supply by 2140 and I am sure you won't be saving your bitcoin by that time (as none of us would be living so long).

However, bitcoin is having a four year cycle and if you follow that cycle, (the bear and the bull season), you may be able to make good money. Yes, i know you need to have some good extra money in order to invest in bitcoin.

I do not know about your age but I would say that if you can invest in bitcoin these days and keep it safe for the next 10 to 12 years, you will be a millionaire, even if you hold only one tenth of a bitcoin.
1305  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Russia To Ban Cryptocurrencies on: February 25, 2023, 02:06:41 PM
Also, Russia is in an indirect war with the US and the western world, so they will never abandon bitcoin, rather if they need to abandon any currency, it will be the US dollar.
I would say differently. Someone in the world decided that the US should remain the world's military power and financial sector. The US problem is that their economy is starting to lose to the economies of China, India and other countries to the south. And if your economy is losing, then you are losing. Europe is good technology, Russia has a lot of resources, China, India, Africa, Indonesia have a lot of cheap labor, so the new world financial center will be there. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has a strong impact on the European economy, large enterprises are starting to flee to the United States. There are wars in African countries where China invests, and it is not difficult for you to understand who the main beneficiary is. If I'm right, then in the next few years there will be a military conflict between China and Taiwan.

This is what the US want the world to remain busy in their own problems and the US and their currency US dollar remain dominant in the world.

If you can read the script with a thought full mind, it is like the two emerging superpowers Russia and China to remain busy in the conflict with Ukraine and Taiwan.

Anyways this is not a political discussion thread, but I must say that the real threat to the US dollar will be inflation which is increasing in US making the currency de-value and adoption of bitcoin around the world.

yeah different perspectives and intentions, your argument is true, if a gambler is just aiming to have some fun using their spare money they are just going to deposit and they will not mind about any deposit bonuses, while for those who are regular and heavy gamers they will take advantages of casino offers regarding to VIP's.

They will aim for that to achieve those additional perks that the house is offering and make a good use of it while using the house platform/services.

I am a regular gambler, my goal is really having fun and getting the excitement when placing (small) bets. I always look when a site offers a deposit bonus, but most of the times the requirements are pretty high and than I let it pass by. Their are some exceptions as they are sites that have a different system to unlock the bonus and than it becomes interesting.

If you play gambling for fun, you won't care much about the bonuses and will tend to deposit and gamble. Since we are talking about this in the betfury thread, it is a good site for fun.
Those whose aim is to get some free money for gambling, they will make use of bonuses and gambling sites rightly protect their interest by giving some tough wagering requirements so that these bonuses are not misused.
1307  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎊 Fortune.st Upcoming Updates 🎊 20 Things to Expect (Happy New Year) 🎉 on: February 25, 2023, 10:33:45 AM

Fortune.st referral programs work by rewarding existing players for referring new players to us. Typically, the existing player will receive a bonus or commission for every new player they refer who signs up and makes a deposit. We also offer additional bonuses and rewards for referring multiple players.

To participate in our referral program, you will need to sign up for an account through our website (https://fortune.st/) and receive a unique referral link. You can then share this link with friends, family, or other potential players through social media, email, or other communication channels. It's that simple.

The more people that signup through your link, the more money you make. It can get so lucrative to the point of replacing or surpassing your existing income.

Ultimately, your earnings from our referral program will depend on factors such as how many players you refer, how much they deposit and wager. I am sure you now understand what you need to do to qualify for the referral bonuses and how much you can expect to earn?

To get the things clear about this referral program earning, you need to tell some more details as what task the refers needs to do in order the person who bring in the referrals can get the referral bonus and commission.

The reason i am asking this, because if there are no other conditions, other than just to sign up, there will be many people who will abuse this bonus by making multiple accounts from their own referral links. That why it's better to clearly mention all the requriements.
1308  Economy / Reputation / Re: WatChe and MusaPk Alt?! on: February 24, 2023, 05:53:53 PM
WatChe https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2752457
MusaPk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3497031

It started from this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5419242.msg61670232#msg61670232
@MusaPk claims that he copied WatChe Proof of Authentication but but there are many things in common between these two accounts.

MusaPk send his signature payment to 1BYVqQK2fNzpA7GcQyMNxPhstr1xrKSodW then to Binance
WatChe send his signature payment to 1E4VNemUFkGiYParRc99SETJZpDWQnNxvY then to Binance

Both are from the same local board.
The two have a similar writing style in referencing images, making some blot words.



Both WatChe and MusaPk may be alts of each other, or they may not be, but the evidence provided here in your post is not enough to proof them that they are alts.
Sending payments to binance is not an issue as many people would be doing the same and we could not say that all of them are connected. Having them belonging to the same local board is also a vague argument. Finally, by comparing the writing styles in his manner seems like you wish them to be declare them alts while they are not.

Better come up with more solid evidence and do not create account for the purpose of damaging anyone's reputation.
1309  Economy / Speculation / Re: What comes next for Bitcoin: $20K or $30K? on: February 22, 2023, 11:46:32 PM
I think we might hit $30K before $20K. Reason why is because we got bad macro news for the past few weeks and you need to wait until it blows over. We had high unemployment, high CPI and high PPI. So it’s normal for the markets to react this way.

Now unless something major happens, I think it will blow over and start to rally again. I am pretty sure another fed hike is getting priced in. Maybe 50bps or so. So in a couple of weeks we might resume this upwards trend again.

It's really hard and difficult to predict whether bitcoin will go to 30k and beyond first or dump down again to 20k and even below that price . By the way I believe that if bitcoin reaches 30'000$ then we may not see 20k ever.

There is a strong resistance at 25k and price has tested it three times in last few weeks but unable to break it. Even though we have all these positive news and economic numbers, the selling pressure is dominant over the buying pressure.
1310  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Buying a house with 100% Bitcoin is possible in Portugal on: February 22, 2023, 05:22:34 PM
Part of the reasons why most government opposes the use of bitcoin as means of exchange in their country is due to the tax free fees transactions associated with BTC unlike  the traditional banking process with fiat money. And almost all government in the world depends on taxes and internally generated revenues. Perhaps the reason they're against digital decentralized currency operations.

Governments are afraid of bitcoin because they think that they can't track how much crypto everyone has and also they can't collect taxes on it. They are wrong because the bitcoin blockchain is like an open ledger and every transaction and wallet can be traced.

The future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will, with time, shine, and all countries of the world will adopt this industry, and people will be able to use Crypto as a payment method in their real life in any of their financial dealings; it is only a matter of time before this dependence prevail.

I hope this bitcoin adoption take place quickly so people like us can also buy houses, plot, and other things using crypto. Till that time, we only have one option to first convert bitcoin into fiat and then buy from that converted cash.

Anyone can contact them outside this forum ask them to unlock and resume their ANN here  Huh

Been there, done that. Like ajiz138 pointed out, I've tried to reach them through their TG, nicely. They deleted my chat --I saw it through my personal TG account--, blocked me, and took one step further by reporting me to TG admin as a spammer so that I was blocked from PMing their CM. I don't think I am biased when I said they're not welcoming people to tell them to do anything with their situation on this forum

I don't know why they would not answer your query and just block you. Even if they do not want to come back to the forum, they can politely say so, why they need to behave so harshly?

Another thing to note is that the open associations against them is also resolved, so what the problem now? Previously i thought it was because of that accusation they do not want to be here but now what could be the reason  Huh
1312  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: [Tutorial] BlueWallet - Bitcoin Wallet Discussion on: February 22, 2023, 03:12:57 AM
You can ask the same for mycelium or bluewallet, why haven't they released a better app for desktop? Why are they just better in mobile mode despite being so popular?
Blue Wallet actually has a desktop app, but they don't highlight it enough on their website. They have big download buttons for their iOS and Android versions and a bit of text mentioning their desktop wallet. There is also a link to the desktop version at the bottom of the site. Their OS choice is also peculiar. No Linux, no Windows, and only macOS.

I have never used the desktop version of the blue wallet but I have it installed on my mobile.
Also for my desktop, I use electrum and I think that is the best combination, that is Electrum on desktop and Blue Wallet on mobile.

The best thing i like about blue wallet and started using it recently is the read only wallet, where I can watch my bitcoin balance in my wallet on my android phone and feel safe even if my android phone is lost no one can get access to my coins.

That's it, they can ask for KYC anytime they want. I would suggest if you use such platforms, just make sure your KYC documents are ready or verify even before they ask you to verify because if you keep winning and making profits, they will definitely ask you to do KYC verification.
I think it's a very common practice for crypto gambling sites. It benefits both the players and the business itself. Other day in Betnomi I was asking their KYC policy and their response was for large amount of withdrawal or deposits they sometimes ask for KYC. Any casino will do that to protect their business.

Imagine a bad actor is trying to scam the client the delay for KYC ensures the account is protected. The money is not going to the wrong hand.
Most of the sites nowadays have really that in default or similar or identical when it comes into their terms and conditions which is something that people should really be reading on.
Also the OP should tell about on having no KYC but its been stated that they do have always the right on asking some verification into a certain user which it is really better
if it was really been clarified or been told from the start to show up that transparency but well it is really just on users responsibility on reading up
first.

Usually the casino will not tell you about the KYC or will not demand KYC until and unless you won something and now they want you to do KYC before cashing out the profits. Some may allow you to deposit in casino but won't let you cash out withour KYC.
The best casinos are those who are transparent, and they demand KYC initially.

We're super transparent about KYC and have it listed in profile settings for users to fill out if they wish. It's reserved for rare cases where we think suspicious activity may be happening on an account or with a transaction. We are yet to ask a user to KYC.


I am not saying that you are transparent or shady, i am only sharing my general experience with the casinos where i usually play or have played in the past.

I am glad that you have clearly mentioned about the KYC and it is optional unless required by the casino, anyways i would usually do my KYC successfully before deposit into Sherbet or any other casino and i think there is nothing wrong with this approach. Smiley

Also do not be happy if some casino states that they are not making KYC compulsory but are offering On-demand KYC. In my experience, you have to do the KYC in order to get you money back from the casino (withdrawal).
1315  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mining on cryptocurrency. on: February 21, 2023, 11:23:09 PM
Please I as answers to these questions.
   Who has been mining any cryptocurrency and have succeded in withdrawing his money, cause I have minied so many cryptocurrency for past years and presently now, but has not have access in withdrawal.

It seems like you are referring to cloud mining here and most of them are scams. The newly developed cloud mining sites might give you some withdrawal as they need to develop some reputation to gain more customers before they scam.
So, do not try to research much about cloud mining, you will only end up losing your money and time.

Real mining is only done physically with a proper hardware setup which is not so easy to configure and also involves a lot of costs.

Is Bitcoin a perfect birthday present for a 25 years old college student? I want to surprise a friend, he is facing a lot of challenges due to his studies and he likes Bitcoin but can't afford investing money because of his studies since he is sponsoring himself, we've been together since 2011 and his birthday is on 27th of this month, do you think 0.03BTC is a cool present 🎁 for a birthday.

Would you love to accept Bitcoin as a Birthday Gift?

Ofcourse he will be happy to get bitcoin as a birthday gift, Bitcoin is money, and who doesn't want to get money as a gift  Smiley

However I wish that your friend knows about bitcoin and if that is the case, he will be even more happier. In case he does not know about bitcoin, tell him some basic details about bitcoin and how to keep it secure so that he may not lose it because of his ignorance.
1317  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Will FTX make a comeback? on: February 20, 2023, 11:56:17 PM
I was only saying this without expectations for this becoming a reality hehehe and agreed, it has ended very much worse than Mtgox. However, the negative effect on the price was not the same. I reckon Mtgox controlled much of the liquidity of bitcoin on 2013. There were only few who would catch the dump. The market of the cryptospace today is more complicated. We have Binance BUSD, Tether, Circle USDC all competing for liquidity.

MtGox was definitely worse because of the liquidity being on that single exchange like you said, but in the grand scheme of things FTX was far worse — in terms of industry reputation, potential regulations, etc.

No doubt MtGox event was bad for the market but at that time crypto was not so popular as it is now. The era of MTGox Scam and the era of FTX scam is totally different. At the current time, bitcoin and crypto are known by many people and people lost a lot of money in FTX and also saw their holding becoming zero who have invested in the FTT token.

In the grand scheme of things, I would consider the FTX event a major one for the bitcoin and crypto community.

Regarding the comeback of FTX, i am clear that even if they come and return everyone's money (0% chance of this), I would not trust this exchange anymore.
1318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bahrainian Hotel accepts bitcoin Payment on: February 20, 2023, 11:19:47 PM
Finally, Bitcoin is going to enter the world beyond the borders of different countries of the world. A hotel in Bahrain "Novotel Bahrain Al Dana Resort" is set to become the first hotel in the world to offer services to customers through Bitcoin payments. The payment system of this hotel will be through Binance App. The Central Bank of Bahrain has welcomed the hotel's payment system, and has assured that other hotels will be interested in recognizing the bitcoin payment system as implemented by the hotel.

News:https://cryptopotato.com/arab-world-crypto-adoption-leading-bahrainian-hotel-accepts-btc-payments-report/

I do not think this hotel can be considered as the first hotel to accept bitcoin payments, there are some other hotels in the world already offering this service. Yes, it might be the first hotel in the Asian region to offer such services.

By accepting bitcoin, this hotel will attract a lot of international tourists as they can easily book this hotel in advance using bitcoin and also do not have the hassle to convert their local fiat into local currency Dinar (Bahrainian Currency) to pay the hotel rent.

The Arab countries including Dubai are very much crypto friendly and we are not away from that time when almost every business in these countries will accept bitcoin payments.

It is said that energy expert wants to prohibit mining cryptocurrency from every Russia homes, the energy committee of the state council of the advisory body of Russia president has impose the ban on the minting of digital currency in residential areas. Crypto related activity which serves as a means of income to many individuals in Russia especially in places that have access to cheap electricity is not yet regulated.Is like the ban has not gain much weight to make it legal maybe with time the ban will stand.

https://news.bitcoin.com/ban-on-crypto-mining-in-residential-areas-proposed-in-russia/
I have already lost my mind, how many times I wrote that these laws do not work in Russia. If there is a profit from mining, then there will always be entrepreneurs who will earn money for this. But now in Russia there are many other problems that require a quick solution.

There are two countries in the world when they say they are banning bitcoin, it actually means they are adopting bitcoin and just presenting to the world that they do not support cryptocurrencies.

Guess, which are those two countries, well it is China and Russia

Also, Russia is in an indirect war with the US and the western world, so they will never abandon bitcoin, rather if they need to abandon any currency, it will be the US dollar.

It shows 1 member that has over 5000 posts in the bounty board and they have not contributed outside of that.

That is a good thing in one way as he is limited to this board Bitcoin Forum > Alternate cryptocurrencies > Marketplace (Altcoins) > Bounties (Altcoins)
No matter if he does 5000 posts there or 50,000 posts there, he is not spamming the forum and the rest of the boards are clean (though there maybe still Signature campaign spammers, but this is not the subject here)
You can just ignore that board and will never have to see all those proof of authentication posts anymore.
