keep on posting valuable topic that will help others

Mate it's quite ironic because in 30 seconds of skimming,  I couldn't see a single valuable post from you. Maybe try to apply your advice to yourself before telling people how to do it.

High volumes of fear & greed doesn't automatically mean we're going to go down more, and higher volumes of bullishness doesn't automatically mean we're going to go up more. Market participants on social media aren't really the best indicators in the first place.
1423  Other / Meta / Re: How possible is selfmeriting ? on: May 02, 2023, 03:54:14 PM
If it was possible, people would've already done it a lot knowing how desperate a lot of users are with concerning to receiving merits.

Exactly  but one funny thing is that you can't  merit yourself if you haven't worked hard to earn any merit,
Hence we must work to earn this merit and I was just curious seeing this option  and I never dared to merit myself and that was why I had to throw the question  to the house.

Partly right — not 100% entirely true because of the earlier bounty campaigners having the free merit airdrops. There are a few Legendary members without a single received merit outside of the airdrop and all they do is just spam bounty campaign threads.

Fortunately this is something that anyone would immediately know that people would try to exploit — so of course it wouldn't be made possible by Theymos(or whoever the dev is).
1425  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Highest Record Bitcoin Transactions, What does this indicate? on: May 02, 2023, 05:09:55 AM
It simply means that more people are using the Bitcoin network — regardless if it's for money transfers, or for Ordinals(but yea the uptick is because of Ordinals). I don't think we can really make price-related decisions/conclusions based off of this.
1426  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Andreas Antonopoulos is a good source of crypto knowledge on: May 01, 2023, 07:15:47 PM
His Bitcoin for Beginners YouTube series has been a pivotal point for me back then on understanding Bitcoin. And even half a decade, those YouTube videos are still 90% relevant today.

Heck, I still recommend his playlist every time anyone asks me about Bitcoin/crypto sources inside and outside of Bitcointalk.

You can do this, but you're going to need to have to ample knowledge on how to setup an air-gapped device using a secure and privacy OS(like tails, as mentioned above).

If you think you have the knowledge, then go ahead. Just take note that setting one up in a secure manner is definitely not for everyone — hence why hardware wallets are made as to make the process far easier for the masses.

^This article pretty much covers 95% of scams(and similar variations).

But really — even if you read thousands of articles, it will be very impossible to be totally aware of 100% of existing scams. All you can do is to always keep your guard up and be suspicious by default.

Anyone here know if they ship to the US with fedex as well?  Surprised they had that showing as i thought only dhl?  When they start fedex to the us?  Also signature required?

Not from the US so I can't really answer.

If you really need the answer though, go ask on Reddit r/ledgerwallet, or directly message Ledger on Twitter.

Money without working? Sure, you could argue that if you're only a small-scale home miner, but it comes with the risk of actually losing money depending on all your costs. (and don't forget, taxes are far stricter and a total pain in the ass in some countries). Also, it's like saying that you don't "work" just because you have employees. You still need to make sure the business is operating continuously and monitor everything.

As for a larger scale mining business? You're very wrong if you think there's no work going on behind the scenes.

You can purchase as much as you want with the same email and there wouldn't be a problem — same with 99.9% of legit online stores. In the first place, it would be really bad UX and wouldn't make sense in general if you could use your email just once lol.
1432  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Mining ? on: May 01, 2023, 05:19:22 AM
Maybe tell us what aspect of Bitcoin mining you don't understand instead? Instead of us going to explain everything from scratch.

Anyway — just for fun, I asked chatGPT.

Prompt: explain bitcoin mining to a 12 year old

Answer: Sure, I can try to explain Bitcoin mining in a simple way!

Bitcoin is a type of digital money that people can use to buy things online. But unlike regular money that is printed by a government, Bitcoins are created by people using computers to solve really hard math problems. This is called Bitcoin mining.

The math problems that miners solve are like puzzles that require a lot of computing power to solve. When a miner solves a puzzle, they earn some new Bitcoins as a reward. This is how new Bitcoins are created and added to the Bitcoin system.

But mining Bitcoins isn't easy - it requires a lot of expensive equipment and electricity to power it. That's why not everyone can mine Bitcoins. It's kind of like trying to find a treasure, but you need a lot of tools and energy to dig for it.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.




1433  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we help to Bitcoin education? on: April 30, 2023, 07:59:45 PM
I don't even know where to start — it's just not that convincing for a newbie's perspective. You said "I will start from the very beginning and I will explain like I was explaining for a child", then you mention proof of work, blockchain, and mining lol.

Overall, it's not something I'd share to anyone.

Don't get discouraged though — you can definitely improve it to the point that maybe it's worth sharing some time in the future when it gets good enough. After all, a great way of learning something is trying to teach that thing.

Anyway, here's my handy picks for when someone wants to learn bitcoin/crypto.

1434  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I think I am going to start referring domain name buyers to Bitcoin Talk on: April 29, 2023, 09:02:12 AM
I own the domain name Bitcoin Uncovered.com, and I always intended to create an information site on the name. Unfortunately, personal circumstance have denied me the time to doi this, but I hope to rectify this later this year.

Just a heads up: you can quickly build a live website in less than an hour with Wordpress + Elementor(optional). assuming you're problem is with the site infra, not the site content. Most web hosting providers has one-click Wordpress installs as well.
1435  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Do u think that the body governing need to re-strategize ? on: April 28, 2023, 06:30:25 PM
All countries want more control over their people, especially the big democracies of the world. That's where CBDC's enter the picture.

That's indeed true, but in varying degrees. I'm pretty sure Bukele and the El Salvador wants control over their people, but yet they're very bitcoin-friendly to the point that they invested a small chunk of the country's balance sheet into bitcoin.
1436  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which crypto wallet is better to take for a beginner? on: April 28, 2023, 06:01:20 PM
BlueWallet. It is I think the wallet with the best mass-friendly UI/UX so far that makes it feels less like an app for an "experimental" niche, but instead an app that can look like your typical modern app.

Of course if you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole, then you're going to need a hardware wallet.

1437  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Do u think that the body governing need to re-strategize ? on: April 28, 2023, 07:36:44 AM
It is unrealistic to think that bitcoin/cryptocurrencies would receive full support from all governments. In the first place, with countries that want high levels of control over their people, bitcoin/crypto is the total opposite of what they want.
1438  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading or investment! What's your take? on: April 28, 2023, 05:11:48 AM
Asking what's better between trading or investing is like asking if getting a job is better than starting a business. It will totally depend on the person entirely!

As for me, while I could maybe potentially earn more by learning how to actively trade, I prefer investing. Basically, heavy research then investing in assets I think would go up, and at the same time doing business while waiting for those investments to prosper.
1439  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Missing Bitcoin on: April 27, 2023, 04:14:59 AM
You might want to give us more information so we can actually be able to help you.

* What wallet are you using?
* What device are you using?
* Are you sure you're receiving actual bitcoin? (BTC, not BCH or BSV, etc)
1440  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What a physical Bitcoin could look like? on: April 27, 2023, 03:29:09 AM
I don't think the technologically is what's the problem per se (could be very wrong, of course), but specifically the trust part. Something being made physical means that we need to trust a centralized entity(s) to produce the physical bitcoin.

We have things like the OpenDime which is a very interesting piece of hardware, but I don't think even the OpenDime will let me transact with confidence anywhere close to simply seeing using block explorers to see that I received BTC.
