1621  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is "dying". on: May 18, 2023, 12:53:33 PM
If that's what you think, so be it. But it doesn't mean that if you're thinking that it's like that and Bitcoin is dying, it really does. We've got a lot of people that are optimistic with Bitcoin's future and if you don't like people owning Bitcoin because they see it as a store of value and will just eventually be sold later on, that's fine. We've got different purposes and desires why we are holding Bitcoin. The idea of Bitcoin being a future payment and currency isn't being removed and gone. You're just noticing that there's a division for those people that likes it as an investment instead of a payment method. But you need to realize that neither of those are being gone, Bitcoin is still being used as payment by many and we're all optimistic of its future. And as for these KYC, it's these companies jurisdiction and responsibility to do it because they're being required by the government. Do not forget that we've got options to opt-in whether you want to use a service or not.
1622  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Are there any smartphones out there that are hard wallets too? on: May 18, 2023, 10:00:24 AM
Ledger Nano X has its mobile app through its Ledger live app and it supports iOs and android OS. Well, they're in the hot seat now thanks to their new added feature which is the ledger recover and it's good for everyone to know about it and there's a continuous discussion all about it.
Thread: Ledger Recovery - Send your (encrypted) recovery phrase to 3rd parties entities
While this has just given me the idea of what OP is looking about. I've personally thought of this actual smartphones are hardwallets by simply downloading a wallet like Electrum mobile and keeping that phone offline, the same goes for those laptops that are used as an actual wallet for those that can't afford to buy a hardware wallet or chooses to use that with their spare laptop and keep it disconnected from the web as if it's an actual huge hardware as their wallets.

If Africa can make use of their resources well, they will be more independent, free from indebtedness and indirect colonial system of other countries.
There is no doubt that they're rich with those mineral deposits. But do they've got some partnerships with other countries that also pays them to operate and dig up all of those deposits right? And that part of the contract is hard to get removed when they're bind together with them and the stake is all about being friends to them and the relationship that's built through business will remain. Yes, it will help a lot to get out of debt and make themselves have a better living but it's part of the system and with such, there's a flaw.
1624  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Recovery - Send your (encrypted) recovery phrase to 3rd parties entities on: May 17, 2023, 10:47:00 PM
Say that even if we've got the old nano s but they can still try to do something and update and force an update for its firmware, is that right?
An update is irrelevant. As I explained earlier in this thread and in the tweet just above, the whole point of Ledger's Secure Element was that the private keys could never leave the Secure Element. We now know that claim is a lie, and has therefore been a lie since day one. A simple piece of code is all that is required to extract your private keys. All Ledger devices are vulnerable whether or not you opt in to this or update to the latest firmware.
Right on, that's my worry and that's why even I've got the old one I know that if I try to connect and they forcefully require an update then I have no choice. Thanks, I've missed the tweet part as it's just a milliseconds after I've posted and still got to go through with everything, I'm overwhelmed with the info and technicals that's in here.




This kinda give me some biggest concern, as the process everytime we use our Ledgers in doing a transaction, we have to approve it through our devices and this requirement is kind of sick, those that will avail the service should review this first.

Hello Jury, I wish you speedy recovery and you're doing a great job if you've been doing that monthly. Other people can't even dedicate their time on Bitcoin knowing that they've got no problem to deal with. But unlike you, you're doing it correctly. You're DCAing and that's how everyone shouldn't make excuses because if you're doing something such as this and you're able to consistently doing it for several months, then it means that you're totally committed on it. Don't worry, all of our efforts and investment through Bitcoin is worth it. Are you projecting and trying to play calculation on how much gain you should have in the nearest future based on the amount you're investing in?
1626  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Recovery - Send your (encrypted) recovery phrase to 3rd parties entities on: May 17, 2023, 05:34:42 PM
No thanks Ledger. I've got my old nano s and good to see that it's not affected by this unimpressive upgrade of theirs. I'm still trying to absorb all of these questions on my mind while reading the entire thread backreading interesting questions that would do concern everybody's worry on this feature they've just made. I hope that there's a bigger company that would poke them and give them a shake on Ledger's head that this is full of bs update and defeat's the purpose of their own product. Say that even if we've got the old nano s but they can still try to do something and do a force update for its firmware, is that right?

One who just plainly invest don't have to be a full time trader. It's proven that those who invests and don't trade at most times are the ones who wins the most. These are the patience people that are waiting for the right time to sell. Yes, there's trading on it but we all know the actual trading like those daytraders or even week traders. I'm talking about those plain investors or holders that are totally okay to wait even for a year or two or even four or even more. We saw those whales that have held their Bitcoins and did nothing and it's all rewarding them now on whether we go back in a bear market and they'll sell still, they're in greater profits from the beginning they've bought and decided to hold.
1628  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial education or 1million dollars on: May 16, 2023, 11:41:03 PM
Financial education has always been a game changer in the financial state of a man, it is the best education a father can give to his children because once you are financially educated, it's near impossible not to be financially stable.
Yes, just like what my parents have told me that they may be no treasure that I'll inherit from them. But they can give me the education that I can treasure forever and this is also including financial knowledge and money management.

Have you wonder why most lottery winners have gone back to square one after winning or most rich kids losing their inheritance due to poor/bad management of funds, it's because they lack financial education.
True, they've got no idea how they'll retain that wealth they've obtained and this is also making people believe that if you haven't worked hard for the money you've got, it will also be spent easily.

On the other hand 1million dollars is truly a life changing amount of money but if you are not financially educated, you will lose it all on  the long run,
I don't know if anyone sees it the same way I do?
I agree. We're all striving to reach that goal and the thing here is, even if we're financially educated, we're keeping up with this goal but we don't know how long will it take us to be there. But anyway, we're all aware of our expenditures and that's still making us educated financially on that matter.

UniJoin, aren't you considering launching something like an investment program?
I think many would not miss the opportunity to earn money by participating in the life of the UniJoin service. Jambler, whirlwind.money have similar programs.
I think this type of feature or service is a good one. But if they've got enough funds to cover all of their operations and it's not needed yet, they won't pursue it. Honestly, programs like this is a good opportunity for someone who's enthusiastic with mixers especially with Unijoin.
Btw, if anyone hasn't seen it yet. I've just seen that soon there will be a mixing service as well for some alts.

1630  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wrong Predictions as price keep failing! on: May 16, 2023, 09:23:50 PM
Nobody bitcoin price prediction has work this season
They're just predictions and they're not being said as if it is the one that will be followed by Bitcoin. More like it's a guess about the market's movement and with Bitcoin's price. It's truly hard to see someone gives an accurate prediction on this highly volatile market.

I told my friends early January that this year will still be difficult for bitcoin to rise since they're still blocks on digestive and ingestive policies of government, why bitcoin should not stay by government. But they argued me to a fault but I knew bitcoin will not gets to $40k this year. The price will definitely rise but not at the moment. Do you predict the price to any level year?
Anyone will have our own prediction and definitely the price will be favorable to the likes of us. Like what you've said, not gonna reach $40k and for the others you'll see them predict $40k and even higher. With me, I'm already happy to see it reaching $30k once again and becomes stable there.
1631  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can someone stole your money with seed phase? on: May 16, 2023, 11:27:15 AM
Short answer: yes.
That person who happens to know your seed phrase will also have access to your wallet because that's what it all takes for someone to recover and import it through seed phrase. That's why we keep it away from anyone and we don't tell it even to the closest people to us. Because you'll never know who have taken your funds if it's recovered by that robber through your private keys or seed phrases.
1632  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A new milestone: 1M addresses hold 1 Bitcoin on: May 15, 2023, 11:54:38 PM
It doesn't matter to me how many of those belong to one owner. The important thing I guess is we see that there's 1M wallets that have been filled with 1 BTC and all of them are holding. While it's estimated that satoshi has got 1M supply and that will never be recovered. We can think of how many of these are no longer in circulation while these 1 btc's that are in these wallets, this only simplifies  that many have been taking care even of themselves and hold at least even 1 btc.
1633  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance User on: May 15, 2023, 10:02:25 PM
I believe that they've notified every user that shall receive it about this arrangement or you probably have missed it. And even if you still use your old address from them with certain cryptos that you'll deposit, you'll still be able to get it but it's going to be hassle than ever.

This update will save a lot of persons from loosing their Crypto. But if I may ask, is that action of theirs not against their community standard and promise? , Changing users address without a formal  notice should be questionable and any lost incurred should be accounted for by the team. Am saying this if it is true that they are  not notifying their users. Upgrade is good but it shouldn't be at the expense of community users. I hope all binance users see this update
As you can read with the blog that they've made posted above. There have been users that have already received the notification and if you haven't got one yet, you have no problem of using your old depo address. And much better before making a transaction, always check the deposit address if you ever will deposit to your Binance account.
1634  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you spend more-do you get more? on: May 15, 2023, 08:09:20 PM
There is an opinion that the more money you spend, the more you get in return
Though there's no right or wrong opinion. However, that opinion isn't really right if you'll ask me. What's right is this, the more you invest, the more you get in return.

it is interesting to find out who really works in this direction. I spend enough money, but I have a fixed income, therefore I will not be able to get more. I don't have rich relatives, and I don't expect an inheritance either. I want to get rich, not to deny myself, but I have to save on everything. Who really faced big expenses and received even more? How does it work, maybe I don't understand the essence of it correctly?
You've said it that you're not born with silver spoon and you've just got enough money to live. You have to save and that savings of yours is the one that you'll use for investing. Look at the rich people, they have one in common and most of them are spending wisely their money through investing, stocks, gold, bonds and even in bitcoin and crypto. And if your salary isn't enough, look for a 2nd or 3rd job if you still can and from there you'll learn how to be wiser with your money because you've worked hard for it.
1635  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2.4% People from Bangladesh Hold Cryptocurrency on: May 15, 2023, 06:50:59 PM
Hopefully soon that restriction will be lifted and the Bangladesh government will see the importance of adopting Bitcoin. It's a good news to see that there are still this percentage of people that holds crypto there despite the declaration of the government that it's illegal to have it.
Nothing can stop people from transacting in Bitcoin and they can't be traced unless they'll vocally say that they're into it. I wouldn't even be surprised if this number will grow in the next couple of years and that decision might also come out from the government that they're now be removing any restrictions that's placed upon the crypto market there.
1636  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 2024 halving less than 1 year away on: May 14, 2023, 11:12:52 PM
It will be interesting if there will be no bull run after the halving. As it will still be considered as something new just as the 2021 was actually a new bull run for which it has exceeded our expectations. But who wants that? I don't personally like to see it happen that there will be no bull run after the halving as the cycle notes and proved that there will always be the bull run every cycle and after the halving.

when do you think the bull market will start?
My estimates will still remain that it might start after several months but we'll see the ATH and actual peak of it by 2025. Just as what mostly are believing that 2025 might be the great peak price point of Bitcoin will be seen again.

Welcome to the forum. Just explore and go through the topics that you're interested with first, whether you're knowledgeable or not. Read first.
That's the way forward so that you know what you're talking about and you're not just randomly joining the topics without knowing what actually is because you're reading. The links given to you about rules is where you should start for you to understand what are the do's and dont's. Do not rush and just learn everything gradually and enjoy all of the threads and topics that you're interested at.
Most information are already here pertaining to first, Bitcoin and then next, the altcoins and the market as well.
1639  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You are still very early on: May 14, 2023, 02:57:20 PM
Don't forget that we're also tuning in and waiting for the next halving next year. So, from the 6.25 BTC per block reward. It is going to be lower and cut into half which is 3.125 BTC per block reward. For those that don't understand it, the miners are going to get lesser bitcoin but then this is going to affect bitcoin in value or price particularly. There will be lesser bitcoin to be mined every halving and yes, it's still early. This is the power of Bitcoin for being scarce and having a limited supply. Let those people that don't want to listen to these advices that they should invest now or else they'll truly regret it and will finally say that they really are too late to get in.
1640  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Beware of such ads on Instagram & Facebook! on: May 13, 2023, 09:46:15 PM
Last time, I've just shared a fake Ledger pre-IPO scam. And this is just posted on Facebook. These scammers are all over the place to find their preys and victimize with their scheme. I don't visit Instagram at most times but it's for sure that they're also there. While these scammers are showy with their posts and attractive images, don't be gullible with such because there's no easy money. And that's what they do, they'll take their victims from website to website and transfer them until they finally landed to their Telegram or even Whatsapp, as I've said they are everywhere.
