Quite provocative but the best sober advice you can get for free!!
Besides I think these phones in terms of technology have hit their peak and have nothing left to upgrade but because we get trapped into having to upgrade every year for no real upgrades..I honestly think it's a ripoff and good thing we have such threads to act as an eye opener...Unless you still using an iPhone with the home button then you are due for an upgrade my friend, otherwise save that money and buy bitcoin or Invest the DCA way  Cool
1403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: September 14, 2023, 12:04:32 AM
The last time I watched a Mixed martial art fighter try boxing it was very disappointing because both fighters didn't care how it went down because they were getting paid handsomely and really failed to put up a good show imo...

But for this one, I think it will be different because  Francis Ngannou uses his fists mostly to knock out his opponents which will make this match exciting..and him having a Tyson in his corner makes it even more exciting as he will learn new tricks to his arsenal in trying to take down the Gypsy King in his own sport and that power punch will come in handy...

Its been awhile since we had a proper heavy weight fight and this one is a must watch!

Saw the news the other day, the videos , pictures that were shared were just so touching and this goes to show the brute might of nature  Cry

Otherwise, thanks to Binance for this humanitarian gesture to the people of Morocco, just hope other crypto businesses will do the same to cement our existence on the world map and make it easy for cryptocurrencies to break these borders should regulation call.

but he is trying to kill two birds with one stone, the media coverage of this issue, the increase in the number of Moroccan users and the failure to pay anything, as this offer will only lead to a temporary decrease in the price.

can Bitcoin provide food for our table
On its own, not possible!

In today's world we live in, to make money you literally need money itself, same thing with Bitcoin...you want bitcoin to work for you to bring food to your table, you need to own it then hodl and get profits off it whenever it gains... otherwise everyone needs to perform some kind of service to get paid in bitcoin just like we get money in real life.

If we expect BTC to be airdropped for doing nothing, then we have a negative perception about cryptocurrencies as a whole!

Bit coin can provide food for us buy investing on it an trading on it as means of exchange, you can buy bit coin an keep them when it rise you sell an purchase any types of item you want to buy.
Well said, which means it isn't any different from any currency out there as we need to work for it...

Can money be saved in gambling sites?
Yes money can be saved there, but the problem with gambling sites is that they can close if they do not have much traffic to their platforms, they can be hacked to the point of no return as they lose all their money, they can pull an exit scam... I think the reasons not to keep money on a gambling platform outweigh the reasons why you can save on these sites. For anybody that loves their peace of mind better keep a small amount you can afford to lose and be able to play with if you choose to gamble.


this thread reminds of me of what happened to Stake recently where they just got hacked. not sure if the coins of the users were also compromised but hopefully not after all Stake is very rich and can refund all.
Just because we know that the company lost millions in this hack doesn't automatically make them "Rich" especially that these companies do get external financing to look financially healthy we shouldn't get everything at face value...but if their liabilities and investors can all be accounted for and still have $$$ left in their bank account I guess we can call them rich! 
1408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Big capital, small risk or small capital big risk - which is best approach? on: September 13, 2023, 12:14:53 PM
My preference: Big capital, small risk

If you are in it for the long term wins, maybe the best combination is big capital, small risk for higher winning opportunities.. though this isn't guaranteed to work has gambling is a 50-50 activity, but then again when we talk about risk management we might want to minimize our risk exposure by playing with small capital for the big risk combination but here winning percentage is automatically low as you arent winning regularly.

But unfortunately if we compare the two side by side, someone wagering $1000 on small risk games is better off than someone placing $100 bets on 5 odds that only wins after 6,7,8 tries as the losses will add up and the player is likely going to start chasing their losses...unless the small capital guy wins regularly then he/she could have a better hand and bankroll.

Btw if you go with the Big capital, small risk then you need a winning percentage greater than 50% otherwise you are in the negative, as for the small capital big risk, if capital isn't a problem and you play win a minimum of 5odds then you need a winning percentage of not less than 35% and you win still be profitable, so choose wisely.
1409  Economy / Economics / Re: Teaching My Nephews About Wealth Through the Game of Monopoly on: September 13, 2023, 10:33:51 AM
I think a game of Monopoly fits the profile for what you can teach kids with, especially since it shows them the power of money in building an empire in real estate, being able to pay fines to avoid jail, and all that. To be honest, I think it is among the few games you will get that today that will teach anybody into board games a lesson in Wealth management.

The Monopoly game is only a simplified investment simulator. And the fact that a child plays the game well will not guarantee a result for him if he does not master the skills of an investor, but perhaps the game will shape the child’s interest in studying finance.
Simplified investment simulator yes but getting to study finance I don't think so, maybe develop an interest in a high paying job to be able to build one's empire, and if its a kid its the parent / guardian to guide the child on which professions/occupations will make this possible.
1410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do we benefit in lies in forum on: September 13, 2023, 08:03:44 AM
I want the reason behind someone given a fiction story to the forum.
First and foremost giving a fictitious story isn't really against the forum as this could be done as a way to get the conversation going, though if you lie about something happening against another user and this is proved you could actually be negatively tagged for it!

Other reasons could be:
  • trying to get merit for it
  • trying to meet signature quota
  • its someone's nature and it is in their DNA
  • attention seeking

I want ask a question as an old forum user, is it not prohibited when someone discussed something that is not contrary to bitcoin education in this board.
Prohibited don't think so but It depends on where this lie is being told and if it's being directed to a user then the narative changes as this could be a reputation case...

Instead of formulating what is not real to write, it's better to make research of bitcoin and educate others through your research, some people make some posts without making it to be informative, some gives testimonies of their achievement with bitcoin without proven the evidence. I think we are to exchange of bitcoin knowledge and share experience's of bitcoins to each other not to give a fake information of what Bitcoin has done to you without evidence.
Telling lies is about having that moral campus, and besides even in real life we have people that will narrate a real life story with a little bit of some lies in it just to make it more interesting to the listerners/readers .
1411  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Binance and multiple citizenship on: September 12, 2023, 10:07:14 PM
Am pretty sure that when Binance services aren't offered in one country, for example country A as OP put it, usually these guys will just geofence all IPs from country A to deny anybody from there from using their services.

And if you so happen to have dual citizenship from country Bor C and register for a new account from a whitelisted territory, then there is no reason to ban you unless you use a bank card connected to the old account or something...

Otherwise new account, new documents, and using the same name gets you a new identity as we have lots of people with the same names!

1412  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: FTX Claim deadline Sept 29 2023 on: September 12, 2023, 09:31:36 PM
I did not find any link to https://claims.ftx.com/ from https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/FTX/

I search it on FTX Twitter and did not find any tweet about claiming with that link. Could you share where you got the link, please.

My search goes with FTX Users Potentially Targeted in Possible Phishing Attack as Bankruptcy Claims Deadline Nears that has a link to direct me to FTX Debtors Launch Online Claims Portal for Customers

I agree with you that if the value is small, skip it is better than KYC and lose documents to FTX.
It actually adds up, these scammers might not be after funds possibly lost on FTX, but other exchange accounts might be the target as they harvest user data that they can use later on, especially knowing that we crypto users usually get to use more than one exchange for different reasons!

Secondly, what seems to be a red flag from that claiming process is how poorly they have infused the need to undergo KYC by them making it optional and then later saying "unverified KYC status will be deemed unverified and the Debtors reserve to object such claims on missing or incomplete KYC info" That line alone is off and best to verify this from their official social media accounts or get news from our reputable crypto news outlets.


Based on the search cache in my browser, the claims portal page used to be as follows: https://claims.ftx.com/kroll-portal
Then a few days ago I read this thread that their restructuring agency had a data breach. I think they have canceled cooperation in this case considering the link above is no longer available.
Data breach you don't say, anybody affected by this should handle this with due diligence!

I mean when such an occurrence happens isn't ample time supposed to be given to its clients, but here timeline is tight Roll Eyes my guess, this is meant to cause panic and prompt users to give up their data for their coins..btw any emails of any sort as a reminder to claim as they should have this info on file if the verification process is real Roll Eyes Huh

First time seeing this pool and just trying to get clarity before joining...

So to get started, I see we have 2 pools going on here
  • a. Prize Pot A: Classic score-based prediction on Superbru
  • b. Prize Pot B: Odds-based prediction on Google forms

Playing for Prize Pot A is easy to understand, but for the Prize Pot B, is this going to be played on Rollbit site as I saw this writing " paid Bitcointalk participants of this pool will gain exclusive access to Rollbit's UCL sportsbook specials " So are we required to place bets here [Rollbit website]or everything will be done on the special spreadsheet  Roll Eyes Hope am not asking questions that have already been answered..

1415  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading not for everyone! on: September 12, 2023, 05:21:53 PM
Trading is certainly not for everyone especially since the numbers show that only 1% of traders are actually profitable  Roll Eyes

But then again skills like trading aren't airdropped at any of us... Someone has to practice, fail , practice again until they master this art and it all starts from being a beginner in this art regardless of the outcome. Besides the road to success is sometimes through failure, and giving up because you failed once shouldn't be the reason for not giving it another try, but should trading negatively affect your health, and financial wellbeing then it is a valid reason to give up!!!

Don't follow the crowd, follow what has profitably proven to work for you. In cryptocurrency market it is time that makes the difference in our profit-making.
Agreed, it's not always the majority that gets to make the right decisions...sometimes it's about defying the odds to go for what works for you Cool

Hansi Flick was fired as Germany coach after the humiliating defeat against Japan. For Germany's next match against France in a friendly match, the German Football Federation (DFB) will show Rudi Voller.
Regarding Flick, perhaps many of us have heard this news.
I dont think this was the best course of action for a team that is just ushering in a new crop of younger players!!!

Besides, most of our leagues just started and I dont think these guys have gotten the fittness to get the desired results, and looking at the back line..this looks like a team that just doesnt have the team chemistry as the old Germany team that had the likes of Dante, Manuel Neuer & other big names retired or missed out!!

And you know what they say, "It's always darkest before the dawn" so these results need to happen so that the team knows what to work on and then team building will happen, but if they choose to skip this stage then all coaches coming here will likely be sacked for not getting the desired results because they havent allowed the team building to take its course.. otherwise the Japanesse were superb against the Germany's Grin !
1418  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ouch, today someone made a transaction with over $500k fee. on: September 12, 2023, 08:34:25 AM
The bitcoin fees market is getting out of control. Someone must've been really in a hurry as they paid BTC19.82 (~$511,000) fee just to send $2k worth.
Jokes aside, probably a very painful mistake. I wonder how's it going to unfold and whether the miner will return it to the unlucky sender.

I know for certain you can track which miner mines the block and what time this happened, but Is it even possible for a miner to return such a good reward??

As far as am concerned miners look forward to harvesting such block rewards because they know that these mistakes always happen & will not stop today either and you can not blame anybody for such a costly mistake, besides why bother with the fees when 8 out of 10 times the fees suggested by the wallet app will usually be adequate enough for you not to wait all day for a single confirmation Huh

Whatever is happening here, this guy has learnt the hard way!

Edit
Saw this in the news yesterday, and like it was stated there, the pool that took the fees have already set it aside giving the owner of the transaction 3 days to come forward and claim back the fees.

And it was also learnt that the wallet that sent this transaction likely belonged to an exchange, and the high fees was as a result of faulty or software that malfunctioned



lucky whale/exchange hope they make the claim as time is counting down Cool
1419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's Stabilize Bitcoin on: September 12, 2023, 08:19:06 AM
In order for Bitcoin to be widely used for payments, it is necessary to stabilize price fluctuations.
I don't think this will be possible to achieve as not everyone is treating BTC as a currency, others see it as a store of value and whenever Bitcoin price goes up..then it's more than likely that they will sell to recoup some from this move hence stabilizing price fluctuations is almost impossible...besides price fluctuations are a good thing as they show the power of supply and demand or tag of war between sellers and buyers & if this isn't present price would be in an equilibrium where price fluctuations are minimal.

The dollar is not a stable, is it?

Well, nothing in this world is totally stable. But fiat is stable enough (well, in most countries) to be used as currency.
"Nothing in this world is totally stable," agreed!!
And the thing with currencies is that the common person only sees 1 dollar and looks stable to everyone, but unfortunately, there is a whole lot going on with fiat that we don't see and traders will tell us the dollar needs to be quoted with its other digits to make it look like this $1.0881 and its constantly changing which shows its not really stable  Roll Eyes.
1420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: September 12, 2023, 05:12:02 AM
I have had a similar experience of having a good 9 leg accumulator bet mixed with some live games which was just paying slightly above 10k off a $50 bet and by the way, am not a fan of these accumulator bets as I believe it is the fastest way to lose money but this one was different, and I went for it and this included the most dreadful team..Manchester United, and you can guess these guys conceded first as always and having more than half of the teams in green with about 3 to go...my cashout offer I had disappeared and here I was wishing I had taken it but unfortunately these small football teams come with big boy pants and United never got to win that game & that's how I missed out on a big win off a small wager. Thats why these days I limit my accumulators to 3 to 4 games max to reduce my risk of losing.
