1401  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Some of the most common mistakes we make as beginners, and how to avoid them. on: March 14, 2023, 06:28:43 PM
2. Plagiarism: As we all know, plagiarism is unacceptable anywhere, including bitcointalk.org. If you do plagiarism and they catch you, you will be permanently banned, regardless of your forum rank, and this is what is affecting those of us who are new to the forum. Most of the time, we fail to read the forum rules until we commit an offense and are punished; it happened to me as well; at the time, I copied some content from the internet and posted it here in the forum without realizing it was an offense. Therefore, beginners need to avoid Plagiarism.
When I first came across the plagiarism thread in the META section of the forum, I saw many newbies fall victim to plagiarism, possibly due to ignorance of forum rules or due to negligence, and they end up being banned. Plagiarism is a serious issue that is seriously frowned upon here. No matter how new you are to the forum, everyone is expected to read the pinned threads and the forum rules before posting as a new user.


It will not be so easy for beginners to fulfill this condition. The quality of the posts will directly depend on the background of the person. If this is not the case, then it is almost impossible to create high quality posts and this will have to be learned. I will not say that this is a super-difficult task, but depending on the abilities of people, it will take a different amount of time to master. Everything new is always something to learn. So, for many beginners, writing low-quality posts is almost inevitable and they all have to go through this path on their own. Someone will improve, but someone will not be able to and will abandon the forum (or become a shitposter).
Just as @m2017 stated, a person's background affects the quality of their posting. It will take some time for a beginner to fully understand cryptocurrencies when he is fresh to the concept in general. Only after that would he or she find it simple to post something worthwhile. Those who are committed and eager to learn will undoubtedly get better with time, but not everyone will be able to cross this bridge.

1403  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best practices to prevent hackers from stealing our crypto assets on: March 14, 2023, 01:14:14 PM
How do we keep our cryptocurrency assets? Because I researched various good practices that we can apply as holders. Because it is not enough that we know how to find good coins and which one to buy. But we don't know how to protect it.
Before even investing in cryptocurrency the very first thing to do is to know how to secure your assets because in the crypto world when your assets are exposed and unprotected people will easily take advantage and steal them from you thats why it’s very essential to know how to safeguard your assets.


In the cryptocurrency case, there are many hacked incidents although when I was just starting, I experienced my laptop being hacked and fortunately, I didn't have much important stuff saved in my file there. Because others can be considered experts here but they still get hacked, how about the people who always start here?

So this will be our guide to protecting our cryptocurrencies. And it applies to long-term and short-term holders.
There are many scams in the cryptocurrency industry, and not just beginners fall for them even experts can make a mistake and become a victim of a scam. However, I think beginners would benefit more from this post because they lack the necessary knowledge. Since almost everyone makes a few rookie mistakes that cause them to lose some or all of their assets, it is beneficial to educate newcomers with this information as they embark on their journey.



1. Keep your seed phrase safe and secure :

     private and seed phrase is the most important aspect ofcryptocurrency owners. Because this is what we use. so we can access our crypto assets in the wallet, Hardware wallets and Non-custodial wallets all have seed phrase and private key.

That's why if we create a new wallet, the seed phrase we need to keep and hide so it doesn't end up to others or disappear. The mistake is because others put it they do it online, in notepad or google Sheets. After all, it's easy it's accessible. But it can also be easily accessed by those hackers, so it is not recommended. So the advise of most people put it in "Secure offline storage" Just write the risk on paper, it's an easy break, lose or burn. We have put it offline it's easy to break the paper, but it will still result in the loss of our cryptos.
Your seed phrase is the password to your assets, and only you should have access to it. Anyone who knows your seed phrase can transfer your assets and gain access to them. To prevent hacks, it is recommended to save the seed phrase offline, away from an internet connection. Saving them offline is safer because using the internet simply exposes you to scammers.


[/b] Just write the risk on paper, it's an easy break, lose or burn. We have put it offline it's easy to break the paper, but it will still result in the loss of our cryptos.
Though paper is fragile and can be easily ripped or damaged but paper is also a secure way to keep your keys safe, so it is important to make many copies and store them in different places in case of fire or any other emergency. Writing on paper has the benefit of being easily accessible, provided you don't hide them too deeply that you may end up forgetting where they were kept.

might be better if you don't invest at the moment, it seems like you need to do more research on what you are trying to invest in. for example, as other members have mentioned, Trust Wallet or Binance? should be the last place where you keep your BTC, especially if you are going to hold.
It's true that you don't need to invest right away because it appears that you lack sufficient understanding about where to put your funds, and the worst thing you would want to happen is to lose your wealth or run the danger of being scammed. Go ahead and conduct extra research, some members have provided links to make it easier for you. All we can do is suggest which option is ideal for you, but ultimately, only you will know which is best.


Should I put it in Trust Wallet or Binance? Hoping for advice from everyone on where it should be placed? There will be no possibility of hacking.
Regarding trust wallet, it is not ideal to store your bitcoin there, its not secure and is easily a target for scammers. I would not advice you keep your asset there because my friend was once a victim of trust wallet scam.
Binance is an exchange where you can purchase your bitcoin just like every other exchange and should not dare store your bitcoin there because you don't have full control over your keys. Once you purchase your bitcoin don't waste any time to move your funds to a secure wallet. We have seen some exchange scam their customers and some are targeted by scammers.

Research more and make sure you have proper understanding before investing in Bitcoin.

Hi guys I do not know if this is suitable for me to share with you guys but still I think that is super cool and I like this new feature that is super good for me.
Today I was posting on forum and than I posted my post. And right there was a pencil ✏️ Icon and I clicked there and edir button was open right in there and page do not goes to other window and I think that will save a lot of time for me and just edit and click on save and in this way you can also do the same. Here are the pics.
I’ve been seing the button but since I’m not sure what it does I didn’t even bother to tap on it and I didn’t even think it will be of any need because all i ever do is clearly noticeable and I’ve never find it difficult to do anything. Its good you shared it with the public am sure lots of users don’t know what it’s meant for and newbies and other rank members will surely learn from your post. I think i will use this button more often from now on.


Does this require creating a topic? I do not see that it is a good feature because you modify the post based on the sequence of the rest of the posts, and if you cannot see all the previous and subsequent posts, then modifying the post will not be useful.
Unless there are some mistakes in grammar or wording.
I think it have solution for this
When you are creating new post just write Reserved or nay simple alphabet and post here.
After that you can post based whom you want to talk about and what other people are saying. And I shared because I think that is super cool. First I thought what is that but still I liked it though it was posted for a very long time.
I thought of that as well and I usually have problem quoting some post because i cannot view previous posts i just see the most recent ones. After reading your comment i just thought of it and i think that would solve the problem.

The game of football is full of surprises. Who would have thought Liverpool would test defeat in the hands of a 20th placed team on the table. This is the very same Liverpool that shipped in 7 unreplied goals against Manchester United... Isn't football crazy? Manchester City on the other hand, were able to seal a win with a late goal to keep their title hopes alive. Arsenal's tomorrow game against Fulham, I think Arsenal would win, their goal has always been the PL and they have pretty good records against Fulham. United's last EPL outing ended in great pains, they need to give something back to their fans, they were really fantastic during their midweek europa tie against Real Beatis, would they be able to replicate such performance? Let's hope so.

Football has always been unpredictable and full of surprises, but I'm not as amazed by any of them as I once was. After beating Manchester United and moving up to fifth place, it appeared that Liverpool was back on track, but if they want to finish in the top four, they'll need to be more consistent in their victories, especially against teams at the bottom of the table. Bournemouth is a good team, despite the fact that they are currently last in the standings. They always put up a good fight they did so against Arsenal but lost the match in stoppage time.

Manchester City managed to eke out a victory from the spot-kick, and they are gaining ground on Arsenal. If Arsenal loses today, Manchester City will only be a few points behind them. Although Fulham doesn't pose much of a threat, we shouldn't assume too much.


It was really nice to see Chelsea finally getting a comfortable win in the league. It has been a long time since they got such win the last time. They are a really interesting team I mean. They are actually really productive about creating so many goal opportunities. But the problem has always been with finishing them up with goals. This win should be some help for them to be better as of now.

But of course it is still early to believe in them. They are like Liverpool this season. Both of these teams are too unpredictable.
Even though they missed a few good scoring chances and two goals were disallowed for offside, Chelsea still easily won. This is because they have developed a penchant for creating lots of opportunities but failing to take advantage of them. I can tell that the team spirit has improved, and the majority of the players are giving it their all. Players like Enzo are especially talented and is always creating for the team more chances. They should keep building on their winning streak because if they do, they will be able to climb the rankings and into the top four spots. They are now performing well, and they earned the victory over Leicester City.

Every rank in the forum can send out merits when they have a sendable merit. When you a member of the forum finds your post helpful and meaningful they reward you by meriting your post so you just have to keep making meaningful posts and and engage in discussions when you have something meaningful to contribute and when your post is useful then you might be lucky to receive a merit. When you receive a merit you also receive a sendable merit (s merit) which you can send to someone other member you find their post meaningful.
For Every merit received you also receive Smerit worth half of it e.g when you have 2 merit you also have 1 smerit and so it goes.

Has anyone ever thought of investing in Bitcoin in previous years, but later left out due to negative though that Bitcoin will not have positive value in time to come.
   Let share our experience.
   As for me I still regret my actions years back, but I still believe that it's never too late.
The same thing happened to me, and I also regret my choices. I believed it to be a Ponzi scheme where everyone would make enormous profits before subsequently vanishing with their money. The excitement was intense, and the majority of people in my area were hesitant to invest since we didn’t have the necessary information and comprehension at the time. I observed the fortunate few acquiring homes for themselves and enjoying their current lifestyles. I always feel bad about my decision whenever I see them.
It doesn't really matter when you join. in my opinion, no one is ever too late to get on board. We can still make the most money possible, just like people did in the past. Bitcoin's future is still very bright.




But it is never late to start again. One can buy Bitcoin in this market too and hope for better returns.
Better late than never, no matter how late you think you are in investing in bitcoin there is every tendency you will make profit if you know what you are doing, the market is volatile and is always changing so if you are knowledgeable enough you can use it to your advantage. You can choose to to trade your bitcoin or hold for longer period either way you can gain profit if you know what you are doing.

On matchday week 27 with the first game is Bournemouth against Liverpool who will play at home to Bournemouth, considering recently Jurgen Klopp's men went crazy by beating their eternal rivals by beating Manchester United 7-0, and also beating Wolves 2-0 at the stadium Anfield.
and given this result proves that Liverpool have bounced back and it looks like Bournemouth will be the next opponents Liverpool will beat, Bournemouth are bottom of the table and if they win against Bournemouth tonight. Liverpool are temporarily in fourth thanks to their superior goal difference with Tottenham, but I believe Liverpool will win this game.
Liverpool truly went crazy they humiliated Manchester United and with their current performance i think they are back and they all charged up to make the top 4 spot, with their sporit high i think they can take on any team currently though it’d be difficult to bounce back on their champions league defeat. Bournemouth are currently Last on the table they’ve lost their previous 2 league games to Arsenal and Manchester city even though they put up a good fight between the two teams. It will definitely be a tough and interesting match and won’t be easy for Liverpool but if they can maintain the momentum and spirit in their previous games they can win the Match.



Even though Chelsea eliminated Dortmund by winning 2-0 somehow, I still don't want to believe in them against Leicester at all. Because the general performance is still preventing me from thinking positive about Chelsea now. They are still a team that struggles to score goals despite having dominance in a match. They are likely to be like that against Leicester as well. I know Leicester defense isn't one of the strong defenses in the league now. But this still wouldn't change the fact about Chelsea easily.

I would like to see Chelsea making me surprised though. Because they are quite likely to finish the season at a bad position.
Several Chelsea fans are content. Chelsea has won two games so far, which is fantastic for the club and may inspire them to better their game, but despite the victories, I'm still not convinced by the way they play, they lack team cohesion, and their assault is not particularly potent or dependable. They must exert more effort to defeat a side like Leicester because, despite their current lack of form, they have the experience necessary to triumph. The game will be interesting, and I think both teams will give it their all.
1412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel selling your BTC against your plans? on: March 10, 2023, 11:29:43 PM
That would be one of your greatest regrets no body want to run at loss in an investment or a business be it in the crypto world or other aspect of life. There are always circumstances like this where you would in a tight situation to make such decisions, you will have nowhere to seek help from than yo just take from your investment, when this happens its better to attend to the situation at hand and worry later about your investment, you may recover from such loss if you are lucky. Just attend to your most pressing need.
I was once in a tight situation like this but i was lucky to recover from it.


Some may feel bad selling the Bitcoin,  but the big question is, if not to sell to solve personal issues why then holding bitcoin,  because I have read a few statements about bitcoin being a life saviour that is your bitcoin becoming your only option in a tough and challenging time.
Everyone has a strategy. Some people will sell when they make a small profit, while others prefer to hold onto their investments for a longer time and earn a larger profit. So, when they sell below their target points, they  often feel bad about it. When necessary, bitcoin should be utilized to resolve personal  matters.

The most important thing is awareness and knowledge of how hackers work and in case there is a breach you should know what to do and how to proceed don't be too comfortable that your anti-virus and anti-malware will take care of everything.
Your action, while you are online, will have an effect on your safety, Cryptocurrency investors should level up their security and awareness because they are the most targeted by hackers.
Its good OP brought this to the public notice because alot of people fall for such tricks I believe it will help lots of people especially newbies who are not knowledgeable enough. To survive this Cryto world and not fall for scams one needs to be knowledgeable not just about how to make profits and prosper but also how to avoid being scammed, we need to be vigilant and avoid clicking random links.


Your first line of defense against unsolicited messages is protecting your personal contact information  If scammers cannot reach you, you would not have to deal with their scam attempts at all.
To protect your details,

• Do not register on random websites using your email address
• Use a throw away address which would only be used once for random sites,
• Limit your social platforms to those that do not store user information,
• Do not sign up for random airdrops.
Never use your email to register on every website you come across always verify the legitimacy of the website first. If you are unsure of the legitimacy of the website, it is safer to use an alternative email.
The first step to avoid being a scam target is to make sure that scammers cannot contact you if they do not have access to your personal information.

Chelsea moving upward in the English Premiership league table is possible considering their recent performance the blues has not been in good form in their previous matches before their recent two matches that ended in their favour, the blues has to be more aggressive in their attack in other to achieve their goals in the club so that the good records of the team will not diminish.
Chelsea looks like they will be able to show their quality again in the upcoming match. the player's confidence has fully returned after they qualified for the last 8 of the champions league. sterling can be counted on by Graham potter for the upcoming match against Leicester city. At this time, Chelsea has a strong enthusiasm to be able to achieve victory again after they previously defeated Leeds United.

Chelsea is still trying to move up the rankings next week. leicester is not a strong team because they tend to struggle in the last 3 matches. then this opportunity can be used as the main target to play aggressively in the match later.
Looking at their champions league match against Dortmund, the comeback was impressive but still they are not yet at the level they should be, they had couple of chances in the first half which they could have score more goals 4 to 5 goals probably but the likes of sterling and havertz are unreliable and if they don’t bury those kind of chances it would cost the team in the premier league because even average clubs in the premier league are now very stubborn.

Leicester city are not at their best lately but they are a big threat to chelsea. If bottom table southampton could win chelsea then all teams are equally a threat. Chelsea have won their last 2 matches even though its not convincing enough, chelsea needs to up their game like Liverpool did if they want to make it to champions league or europa league next season. The defenders are doing their best especially the full backs james and chillwell but then the attackers have still not improved.
Potter needs to use the newly signed players more so they can easily blend in and adapt to the league easily because benching will only reduce their level of confidence. The likes of Mudryk and madueke are really exceptional players that have alot to offer the team.


Chelsea moving upward in the English Premiership league table is possible considering their recent performance the blues has not been in good form in their previous matches before their recent two matches that ended in their favour, the blues has to be more aggressive in their attack in other to achieve their goals in the club so that the good records of the team will not diminish.
Chelsea’s bad situation is now slowly starting to clear up with Potter able to field brilliant wing-back pair James and Chilwell in the same side for just the eighth time this season. Injuries are part of the game but Chelsea's pile up has been extreme. At its worst, the number of players out at the same time ran into double figures. As the injuries begin to pile down, Chelsea has began to field their first team players and now they’re playing good football and it’s been obvious in their last games.

What you wrote was a good summary about Chelsea.  In fact, they had been struggling with injuries for a long time.  Many of the reactions they received may also be because they spent significant transfer money during the interim transfer period and still did not succeed.  The expectations for Chelsea are higher, so Potter is being criticized.

I don't think the coach is the entire problem with Chelsea and even though their hire a new coach their result will not change significantly, since there is high political interest in the management of the club, so there is high demand for the coach to please the club owners and what their want is winning without minding the impact of their decision on the entire team.
I disagree, they have few problems at the moment but i think the coach plays an important role regarding the performance of the team, few years back frank Lampard was sacked and Tomus Tuchel was brought in and immediately he transformed the team and went on to win trophies for the club that same season without signing an additional player. Thats the nature of chelsea’s management they are always demanding and thats what have kept them among top teams in Europe. How many months now and potter is yet to establish a playing style, that should be the first thing a coach should do after picking his first swuad. All this shows chelsea is bigger than potter and that he is incapable even though he is given enough time.
1416  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Set your mind on your goals and nothing else on: March 09, 2023, 01:49:09 PM
I spent five years away from friends and family, because whenever I bring up how crypto can be life-changing they always discourage me, maybe because I lost some money to few trades and I was not that good at trading at the time, I got mad one day and I left the city and move to another city, because they won't let me be and they felt I will waste my life away.

Today, I now own a home and a nice ride, I was able to get married and settle down, but now they feel like they made a huge mistake for not listening to me. I believe this was the best decision I've ever made, I was able to gathered some BTC in 2019  to 2020 bear market and also with the help of my trading skills.

Only God knows what would have happened if I never left, my mind kept telling me to venture into crypto at the time and even my own family shut the idea down.

I don't know why and now they are asking for my help, I have to do it since they are my family, and even my friends are asking for help, would you help your discouraging friends if you are in my shoe? They were my friends, but not anymore, I believe friends should be supportive of each other, am I wrong.

If you are a crypto newbie, make sure you set your mind on your goals, do not be discouraged by anyone, people can't see the future, we are not gods or demigods who can read the future, do not listen to any naysayers.

You knew what you have been doing from the start and you believed in yourself and you believed in what you have been doing, its so unfortunate they didn’t believe in you and even though they don’t believe in what you are doing all they could have done is to show concern because you are their family and friend. They failed you when you needed them most but then i feel they did it all because of the love they have for you, they mean well thats why did didn’t want you to keep wasting time at least thats what they thought.
No matter what they are all you’ve got and your family will always be your family so just forgive them and let it all slide am sure they are also having regrets and don’t hesitate to assist them in anyway you can.


After what they did to you, I understand how you felt and how much you were hurt. However, you must comprehend that they were also attempting to steer you in the right direction. The only reason their advice did not work is that they do not know better than you. I will still assist them if they ask, particularly if it is from family if you have more than enough. We must make an effort to forget someone who has undervalued or denigrated us for our own benefit, even though it is difficult to forgive them. It is detrimental to our growth to harbor feelings of resentment toward someone who has harmed us. You were successful and have a compelling story. Now demonstrate to them that you are also adept at handling the past.
Exactly, this things happen in almost every household, let it slide and embrace them with warm heart. I will assist them and forgive them if I was to be in your shoes because we don't know what the future holds.
1417  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Beginners - Keep your rooms clean, keep your backups ready to use & bring away on: March 09, 2023, 12:27:02 PM

Having backups for your wallet is good but it is not enough. You must do two other important things

1. Keep your backups safely from others to avoid risk that they will steal it (if they are greedy) or throw it away (because they did not know importance of that piece of paper).
2. Make sure you assign a place for your backup storage and it's always in your mind. In case there is emergency, you can quickly know where it is and can take it to run away.
You are fortunate to have located the backup, if one of your friends who is knowledgeable about cryptocurrency had been in your room and discovered the backup, or if the garbage had already been disposed the situation might have been quite different. Nobody can be trusted, especially when it comes to money, so you shouldn't be careless with your backups. In fact, you shouldn't even keep them in a place where a second person could possibly see them. Once, I was about to secure my backup then I exited the room and left it on the table. When my little sister entered my room, she just happened to notice it and torn it to pieces. I was lucky to have another copy of it else I would have lost my asset.


It's the same as what happened to me the only difference is that you are lucky that you still find the paper backup in the garbage compared to mine where they already burned my backup paper.
That is why I decided to put all paper backups in a storage box that includes my important documents and I told them not to touch my storage box without my permission.
Not everyone is lucky though, i am sure you learn from your mistake just as i did. Keeping your backup in a storage box is good but it’s advisable to make duplicates and store in a separate location in case of any unforeseen circumstances.


One of the best ways to secure the wallet recovery phrase is to have multiple backups of it in at least two places.
One is for urgent use and writing it on paper will do. The second copy should keep in a safety deposit storage or box to avoid losing the fund during a disaster. An example is the heartbreaking issue that happened in Turkey and I am sure a lot of Bitcoin holders that escape the accident would lose their wallet recovery phrase.
That was a horrible incident lots of lives were lost. We will keep praying for the lives lost and the family of those who lost their loved ones to the disaster. We don’t pray to experience such again but that is one of the reasons why you should have multiple locations for your backups.

The growth and popularity of cryptocurrency may be extremely in the future that even uneducated men and women in rural areas and villages in many developing countries of the world may love to be part of the crypto can the process to make crypto offline class work.
It will be great to see alot of people be part of the crypto world but I don’t think it would be possible to operate cryptocurrency offline without internet connection. Bitcoin is not like fiat currency Bitcoin is decentralized, transactions need to be verified to be recorded on the blockchain and for that miners need to be connected to the internet.


What did you guys think?
Are you suggesting they make like a card similar to atm cards which is linked to your address where you can carryout transactions?
I don’t know what will happen in the future but bitcoin was not created initially to replace fiat, it was just created to serve as an online payment method and also an alternative means for payments. Even if it’s possible to operate cryptocurrency offline maybe it would be in another generation to come.
