1581  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel about using NFT staking for token rewards? on: December 09, 2022, 10:43:35 AM
I would not be happy staking anything in the crypto markets right now. Have we learnt nothing from the likes of Celsius & FTX? It’s not a great time in crypto so handing over ownership of your keys/NFT’s etc is not a great idea. The amount of money you earn staking is not worth the risk involved in my opinion.
1582  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is the last movie you watched? on: December 09, 2022, 06:11:44 AM
The last movie I watched was Black Butterfly, starring Antonio Banderas. I have seen so many movies & I literally mean so many that I struggle to find ones of interest that I haven’t seen. I usually search by actor & scroll through their filmography, watch a trailer & then stick a movie on. I dunno why but Antonio Banderas came to mind so I found a movie with him. It was OK, a solid 6/10.

The Portuguese striker Gomes looks good, he took the place of Ronaldo & actually scored three in the last 16 game. Alisson Becker has only conceded one goal also, the Brazil defence is amazing also. Jude Bellingham the midfielder with England looks to be a superstar & only 19 years of age. The 1/4 final games should be very entertaining.
1584  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Alert to Trust Wallet users: There's an ongoing address spam, be more cautious. on: December 08, 2022, 10:17:21 AM
This looks like something that could be done to newbies but probably shouldn't be something more advanced members need to be that aware of.

It's worth setting a rule to not do things when you're too tired to do them. You can't expect to remember which transaction address you have to pay if you receive quite a few transactions - I've done similar before and nearly sent to the wrong person but double checking is always a good idea (with the service or person you're paying).



This is very important, even to OG’s. Numerous times I’ve nearly messed up & sent coins to the wrong chain/address when I’ve been tired.

I think it’s good that the OP has made time to remind people to stay alert when dealing with money. Good luck to everybody.

Maybe they had to get DNA to prove something, was she murdered?

I don’t know. Could be that she was buried wearing really expensive jewellery or something. Maybe they wanted to move her location, the possibilities are endless to be honest.

I don’t believe these kind of articles to be honest, they’re always a bit sensationalist & exaggerated. If there was to be a pandemic then if this was genuine then it’d definitely be something to panic about rather than the Chinese flu virus.

I’ve been training for this my whole life though. I’ve seen pretty much every mainstream zombie movie that exists. I think I’d head far north & live off the land.
1587  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will be the next crypto craze? on: December 06, 2022, 11:56:10 AM
There’s always something every time there is a hype period. I don’t know what it will be but it’s sure to be something that can make you rich if you are lucky enough to find out about it early enough & get out before the crash like we saw with ICO’s & NFT’s. I guess the Metaverse is the next thing to dump hard, a short craze that fizzles out.
1588  Other / Off-topic / Re: what things you do for release mental pressure on: December 06, 2022, 11:30:42 AM
I like to go for walks, get out in the fresh air & take care of my mental health. I find that reading & watching documentaries help me to relax.

Life was tough during the pandemic but we are returning more to a sense of normality now. Socialising helps but not too often, I like my own space.
1589  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Tips to Becoming a Successful Holder on: December 02, 2022, 12:28:18 PM
You just need to ignore outside news, FUD & short term market movements. Nothing good ever comes easily so as a HODLER you’re going to go through periods of depression & thoughts that you’ve ruined your life (during bearish times).

To be a HODLER you need strong conviction. It’s not going to be easy but if you can HODL through minimum 3 full cycles then you’re going to be making big money.

Good luck all HODLERS.
1590  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Margin trading of crypto currency on: December 02, 2022, 10:53:02 AM
Margin trading amplifies risk. It should be only be utilized by experienced and well-funded traders.

Absolutely, my advice though is to just ignore it completely. It’s not something that anybody should really be doing. Simple dollar cost averaging over a sustained period can & probably will give equal, if not better profits over a long timescale. There is way less risk involved then.

Leverage trading is effectively gambling, too many people follow charts & models which always end up broken too.
Just DCA guys, it’s simple & very effective, it has a great track record too over time (main coins).
1591  Other / Off-topic / Re: Which drugs shoyld i use after big loss? on: December 02, 2022, 05:20:03 AM
I don’t think using drugs is a good cure for losing so much money. Maybe you should take a little break away from technology, try & do a trip or go camping out in nature or something. Take a trip with some friends, crack a bunch of beers by a camp fire or something.

Try & surround yourself with friends & attempt to forget about what happened. It’s not easy but taking a bunch of drugs is just going to make you feel even worse the next day when they’ve worn off.
1592  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Will there ever be any safe centralised exchange ? on: December 01, 2022, 08:23:36 PM
No such thing as a safe centralized exchange. Why would anybody willingly leave large amounts of their wealth on a centralized exchange? We all saw the warning signs with MtGox, there has been countless other copycat situations since, even as recently as multiple this year. Seemingly trustworthy platforms going bust, it just shows nobody can be trusted to custody your funds except you. Seriously unless you have buy or sell orders in that you expect to get triggered soon then take it all off & into your own control.
1593  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to earn 9-10% APY using USDT and a simple strategy on: December 01, 2022, 08:05:09 PM
I think it’s time for people to stop seeing yield as an attractive thing. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Have we not seen enough similar companies go bust promising returns they can not guarantee will be honoured.

Seriously, anybody still looking at this type of thing seriously deserves to lose all their capital. There is no such thing as easy money.
1594  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dangerous life of crypto-billionaires on: December 01, 2022, 06:04:34 PM
Various conspiracy theories aside — not sure what's so special about this? People die all the time of random causes, and yes — including billionaires.

One thing is for sure, if you are fortunate to be so rich to be deemed as a crypto billionaire, it’s a good idea to keep it on the down low, as good as you possibly can. This kind of thing stinks of corruption, some kind of business deal gone wrong, I don’t know.

Tell as few people as possible about your bitcoin/crypto position if you are a millionaire or billionaire. There is too much danger out there, especially in the current financial climate.
1595  Other / Off-topic / Re: Lay off vs Pay cut on: December 01, 2022, 05:32:22 PM
Let's suppose your boss called you into his/her office and explained the company's situation. He/she then gives you the option of getting laid off or taking a 50% pay cut. If you were to choose one of these options, what would it be and why?

I couldn’t afford a pay cut so assuming this was a reality for me I’d accept to be laid off. I have been at my current company for a long time so legally they would owe me a redundancy package. I’d take that & then get another job. Providing it didn’t take me forever to find a new job I’d get about £10,000 and a nice little holiday from working. I think I could find new employment so I’d take my £10,000 redundancy pay & tell my boss to stick his pay cut.
1596  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are stablecoins safe? on: December 01, 2022, 12:13:44 PM
They’re fine to use & hold short term but like anything that is not decentralised, I wouldn’t recommend storing much of your wealth in them for any significant period of time.

Most people know the above but get lazy. Just be careful & look after your money in the best way you can i.e. don’t let anybody else have control over it.
1597  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fidelity opens bitcoin trading on: December 01, 2022, 11:26:38 AM
It’s just yet more evidence that bitcoin is becoming more attractive to investors. The average guy on the street now has a way to get in via a trustworthy broker. I am an advocate for self custody so this isn’t something that will be of interest to me but anything that brings new people into bitcoin is good.

I think we’ll see more & more major banks jumping on the bitcoin train. It’s either buy a ticket or get left behind.
1598  Other / Off-topic / Re: Hunter is 'shot dead by his own DOG on: November 30, 2022, 10:10:33 PM
Rest in peace to the guy, sounds like a freak accident. These things can happen which is why all precautions must be made, he shouldn’t have left the gun loaded in the vicinity of the dog if he wasn’t actively hunting at the time.

I hope his family can find peace & the dog is looked after & loved. I hate reading about death, life can be cut short in an instant, such a tragic loss.
1599  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is there still future for growth in bitcoin and crypto? on: November 30, 2022, 09:05:54 PM
Bitcoin & even crypto have a very big part to play in the future of finance. If you look at what Central Banks have been doing, printing fake money, inflating the supply, you will see that there is room for other forms of payment. Governments actions have allowed sickening inflation numbers, they are stealing from you.

The powers that be will fight us but cryptocurrency is going nowhere. You can protect your future & your purchasing power by buying digital property, bitcoin.
1600  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase wallet stops support for XRP, ETC, XLM and BCH on: November 30, 2022, 08:47:14 PM
It’s seems harsh but I guess business is business. If those coins aren’t bringing in enough trades & obviously fees (which is what it’s all about for exchanges) then it makes sense to delist. I’m not sad to see BCH chosen as one to delist, it’s about time really that scam was unravelled.

With regards to XRP it could just be ass covering by Coinbase because of the impending battle with the SEC.

I had high hopes for XLM years ago but it seems to have failed to gain enough adoption.
