This scam never gets old. I don't know how he's hacked but it could possibly be that he fell for a phishing. So aside from Telegram, act is right that this scam is common especially in Twitter. I hope that soon there is like one access hotline from these social media and they can retrieve their accounts immediately especially if they've been hacked and offering scammy BS to the people that follows them. That's like one good and quick solution so that there will be lesser to no victim that will fall to these hackers/scammers.
1483  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: July 25, 2023, 12:57:19 PM
Woooah! Just like what everyone has expected, it's still the monster that has been proclaimed as the winner of this match. And several months ago, I've also said that this quote that's favoring Inoue. This guy is an absolute beast and there will be more matches on this division on him and for sure that just after a few rest, he's going to his road map to dominate this division.

Good for him, I don't know much a lot with Stephen but Naoya sure is a monster and is worthy of his alias. On 122 lbs, I'm sure that he'll feel something new with that but he's aware of any changes on that division and since he's the undisputed champion on the past division that he has left, it's becoming more interesting not just on him but also the title match that he has vacated.

Congratulations to Inoue! I think he can still move up in weight because he has been dominating.
I also think so and that's why that would probably be his next ambition. But for the meantime, I think that he just want to stay on this current division and has got list on who are those in line that he wants to challenge and beat.
1484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: July 25, 2023, 09:52:00 AM
There are gamblers that don't place their bet not until they have gotten a certain amount as their potential win.
How so? They won't see their potential win if they're not going to bet. Is this something to do with the odds? And if these gamblers are actual sportsbettors that are waiting for the odds to be in favor of them so that they've got a better potential profit won't bet, then their potential win cannot be taken. I'm sorry but I'm just looking at the logic from this that you've said.

Some do this based on their financial challenge with the anticipation that just one win they may get on such amount is a life changer for them.
That's possible to happen but usually with these one chances of bets, they have to bet with certain huge amounts for them to have that in reality. Typically, you just win one bet and you're good just for the day. But to say that it's going to be a life changer bet for them, I can only see this happen through the lottery and any other luck based games that has a lot of multiplier.

I like your optimism about someday building your own hedge fund and as well as your financial institution. But if the plan is to create a group, you'll just probably going to be tired of building that outside the forum. This forum is enough for any group related matters whether it's trading or just simple investing in the crypto market. This community is more than what anyone needs. If you are for trading then go ahead on the Trading Discussion and make your own thread there discussing all about your trades in forex and futures.
1486  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Farmer's Bitcoin Investment on: July 24, 2023, 05:24:58 PM
Seems like a good story if it's real. But let's say that this story is for real and these farmers and teacher helped them to form to a cooperative and the one main goal is to invest into Bitcoin. That's a crazy idea honestly and I'd say that these farmers could do it on their own and even if they don't know that thing, forming a cooperative to invest into a highly volatile asset shouldn't be a main goal for forming it. We know that farmers aren't really compensated well and some of them are probably just renting those equipment and land and that's why, the tip that we used to say about investing only what they can afford to lose should always be remembered and told.
And the fact is that farmers in the field do not know anything about crypto and Bitcoin and how risky it is.
This is a very sensitive sector and is related to the main income of farmers.
We may be able to explain what the purpose of bitcoin or crypto investment is, but of course, they will not accept the risks that will be caused.

Only farmers who understand and understand crypto technology are able to implement it, but for most small farmers it is just an investment that can be detrimental.
There are even many crypto projects that want to enter the agricultural sector, but eventually have to stop due to lack of interest from farmers.
Crypto is a fairly risky investment, so anyone who wants to enter must know what the risks are and how to get profits.
Although that's most likely the situation that many of them probably haven't heard of what Bitcoin is and whether it is an investment or something they'll benefit in the future. I'm giving that idea that there could be a very few of them that's aware of its existence since I'm also going into places like remote areas and farms and there's connectivity to those areas that I've been. But you are right about that it's unlikely that many of them will dive into this investment especially if that's all that they've got during the harvest time.

@OP, thank you for making this list. Those that are aspiring job hunters that are looking for a crypto related job should go each of them if they still haven't found their crypto dream job. Aside from that, if they have some crypto companies that are aware of. They can always check their hiring/careers pages to see if they've got some opening.  Like for an example, the common exchanges that we're using. AFAIK, the majority of them are continuous in hiring.

I hope that this thread gets locked soon. With all of those inconsistent threads made by OP, he did even claimed that stake had an agreement with him and the issue he has thrown to them has been solved which isn't likely because stunna left him negative trust rating saying that he has made a fake news. I think that with this offer OP trying to do has something to do with bonuses that he wants to take advantage of those gamblers that has this account but @sam is right, those high rollers are most likely not even active in any place like this.

It's still their currency and people on that specific country is still using. Despite of what they've started and we don't like what they've done, their currency is still a currency. Whatever you want to talk about with, next time add some more detailed thoughts on why you think it is and not just going leave some few words and make it left hanging. We've got our own currencies and from the system within the scams are being made by those cons and if it's about default, we know how it works and interest rates are being added on it.
1490  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance adds support for the Lightning network on: July 23, 2023, 04:42:14 PM
But in that case, they should be the one to promote that people shouldn't get that much attention with the other choices and only choose the actual Bitcoin & LN.
That would be counterintuitive to their goal IMO. They want people to use their blockchain so they encourage them with cheaper fees and so on. Even the lightning option is probably added because they are certain they can make money out of it. Binance is a business in the end, and profit is its goal. They would not explicitly encourage users to be aware of the risks associated with their products unless they need are forced to do it, either by law or something else.
Yeah, that's for sure that no matter what we want for them to just support the native and actual Bitcoin. They're all a business and anything that they do for their platform cannot be for the sake of their customers only but also them.

Still, hopefully, this addition helps people.
Hope so but I guess that it's helping and working to make people know about it.

I used to use Binance's P2P, but I got scammed once through SMS
Care to share how did it happened with your experience? It's gonna be a good share if you can make a thread about it.
It's been ages since that happened. I once placed an order on Binance's P2P platform, using a local mobile banking service, let's call it XYZ, as my payment method. Shortly after, I received an SMS stating that I had received a certain amount of money, let's say "ABC"

Surprisingly, the SMS displayed my actual account balance, which led me to believe it was accurate, and without cross-checking on the app, I released USDT. However, later on, I discovered that the money hadn't actually been received. I'm still puzzled as to how they managed to display my real balance in that SMS.
I see, that's confusing on how it has happened and with these verification SMS' and emails, we gotta be really careful so that we can avoid it from happening again with all of these exchanges that we're registered with.

if you want to take it, do it somewhere else or with another device you've got. These links could contain malware, and who knows what's inside aside from that.
I don't recommend doing this even if he is going to use a different device. If this is a phishing email then the phisher's intention is unlikely to spread malwares but rather to steal victims credentials.
Most people use the same email and password to register on different platforms. If the scammers succeeds to get OP's credentials, he will try to log in in different platforms using them. There is a chance he will be lucky with one of them.
You've got a point. No other device can protect if the credential is the one that will be stolen. But at some point if that's really going to push OP with it, that's one way to protect himself so his main device won't be infected. That's why I think it's what he must do but you are right that much better not to.
1493  Economy / Exchanges / Re: LocalBitcoins asking to verify account on: July 22, 2023, 12:54:40 PM
If you think that you've got no funds left there, better leave that email and keep it there or just ignore/delete it. Or if you want to take it, do it somewhere else or with another device you've got. These links could contain malware, and who knows what's inside aside from that.

1494  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think selling your property is better than taking loan? on: July 22, 2023, 10:41:02 AM
It depends on what kind of specific property you are referring to.
Based on his example and story, the property that he's talking about are the appliances and not the land properties that we used to believe it is what's being referred to when it's mentioned.

Moreover, it depends on how badly you need the money. If it's just a small amount then I'll most likely go for loans since properties such as lands can go higher as time passes. However, if you really need a big sum of money then go for selling property.
I'll do the same loans if I need a very small amount and that's like to cover for some bills that I need to pay when payday isn't around yet. But I'll refrain to take a huge loan because it also means a huge interest. I don't want to see the bank earn a lot from me while me working my ass off for several hours then they'll go easy with this business.

I was in a similar situation where my small business went bankrupt, and I chose to take out a loan because I could pay off those debts without even thinking about selling my assets.
It really differs as per situation. If I have a business and then it's on the verge of getting bankrupt, to take a loan is the first thing that I'll do in order to save it. But then, there are also other options like giving it up or looking for a co-owner to save it and have it financed by them.

Far from ending the Bitcoin era. We all knew it that Bitcoin is here to stay and even the old holders are having times of thinking whether to dump the Bitcoins they have that were taken on the early days. I am just thinking that each time that we're gonna be on a bull run, there will always be these people that have come to revive their wallets that has been stuck for a long time. It's like a typical guy that just want to have some pile of cash and about to withdraw from the market and who knows what they are going to do next.
1496  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Warning] Fake Ripple #Xrp airdrop website is available online. on: July 22, 2023, 06:10:03 AM
That's true, it is what I have thought when I have remembered that these scammers are also updated with these trends. Since it's easier for them to purchase those badges to make it look like they're legitimate, they'll spend for it for sure just to fool people that are not yet still aware of their tactics. These platforms made it even easier for them, that's such a bad thing to think of but hopefully, they'll be more strict with compliance from these potential scammer's accounts.
That's the time and opportunity for them to scam newbies, they know that when a coin or token is trending there are many interested in acquiring this coin/token, and this time its XRP,
It's a repetitive cycle and expect that if there's another good news for some other coins and project, you'll see that these scammers will be around again trying to get their prey.

these scammers have money to purchase accounts, domains, and hire developers and shill marketers expect this to happen everytime there's hype and trend, it happens on Dogecoin, Axie, Pepe and now XRP and these scammers will not stop because there are always willing victims who are ignorant and not aware of this scheme.
You said it right and that's why they've got the resources and it's easier for them to just reproduce what has been busted to them. But if you're aware of their tactics and scammy activities, you'll never be a victim of them anymore whether you like the project or not.
1497  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Online mining on: July 22, 2023, 04:11:13 AM
Based on your questions, you shouldn't keep up with that website and system that you're trying to make. You'll just be flagged as you're doing likely a scam website. Mining can't be done through online without hardware as it requires heavy mining equipment (ASIC miner) if you're for bitcoin and GPU for altcoins, most of these cloud mining services are likely a scam unless you're just giving a simulation and there's nothing to gain with that.
This is the first time I'm coming  across your profile  and I just want to applaud you for one of the most straight forwarded answers I've seen so far..
Op I think you need to dead that thoughts of getting g a license  for what you claim you created and yet you don't even know kw how to earn from it 🤔,  if you don't want to get your account tagged in the forum, then you just ignore mentioning  cloud mining  or getting affiliated with cloud mining especially bitcoin and it is believed  that there is absolutely  nothing like cloud mining for bitcoin  anymore and anyone referring people to cloud mine its just promoting scam and that's one thing the forum frowns so much at.

There are already so much opportunities  on the forum,  and I think it will be better if you focus on growing your account on here so as to get some benefits from the forum and learning more from here .
Although it may look a discouragement to him but it's all about the reality that he's setting in here. We've come across a lot of platforms and newbies asking almost the same thing and it's up to him if he'll take it as a good tip for his own sake and at the same time, he'll be able to save time. But no one is stopping him, we're just giving the idea and the reality about what he's done and more planning to do. We don't want another batch of people to waste their time on these cloud mining and for him as someone who plans to make it, he can revert his attention to something better.

Not only in Twitter. In Facebook, there's a new trend now about being "meta verified" and it's cheap as the Twitter badge by just getting paid and will just have to go through with some verification process but I think that's easy and quick. I have seen a lot of unpopular people getting that blue check badge scattered in many pages.
This has become a very bad trend. Since blue badges are available for purchase with money, it is conceivable that this opportunity is being opened up to unqualified, bad intentioned people who may be dangerous to ordinary users. Now most of the scammers are taking this paid service and showing themselves as trusted and promoting such scams. Newbies should be warned that now scammers have gone a step further to scam on a larger scale.

I agree, that because of the news that they've won the case against SEC. There will be a lot of scammers that will ride the news. Thanks for finding this out OP.

And now because of Twitter's paid blue badge, it is becoming difficult to identify who is a scammer and who is a real user. Currently, most of the Twitter accounts that are promoting various fake/phishing websites are blue badge accounts, due to which newbies are now getting more confused and victims of scams. A lot of fake websites will come up now using Xrp name, so everyone should be careful not to fall into the trap of scammers.
