Its their personal choice to decide whether they want to give you a chance or not, well I would like to speak for myself, despite of having multiple negative tags you are still being an active member of this forum which is convincing for me to give you a chance, and if its decided based on vote definitely I will be voting for you cause most others will left forum and come up with new account to build everything from scratch.

I don't know if anyone said this but what reminds me when I say "gambling is a double edged sword " and it fits perfectly as well cause you can change your life into either of its extreme depends on how you handle it.

Being positive while gambling will not really helps us though so being concentrated is more important to realize actual happenings.

The bot works well and gives very good results, but I work on a laptop and use the Google Chrome browser. I installed Telegram (Windows desktop version) so that I receive notifications immediately instead of a mobile.


I have installed the notification bot too on my windows 10 and I get pop up a notification whenever I am mentioned on bitcointalk so it maybe something related to your app setting, I will check my setting and let you know if there is any changes to be made for running the application in background.

Let's assume the house you want to buy has mortgage of 600 dollars per month but the rent for same house is 400 so here is what you should do, just choose rent and think you have to pay mortgage every month which means you have 200 dollars extra and you have to keep investing the amount every month into something with decent returns and low risk as long as you can, so at the end of 10 years you may not own a house but the investment you made all those years along with the compounding effect you will have much more money than the worth of that house.

You see that's the problem with scenarios, when you set them so that the result points to what you want to achieve, one might ask himself, is the scenario actually true? What if the rent is 550 and the mortgage 600? What if your investment fails completely? And more importantly, what if the price of the house goes up?
In 2010 the price of an sqm in London was 4500, not it's above 7000!

So even with your scenario, you would have to turn every single of those $200 into $900 in order to keep up just with the housing price!
Do you think is doable for everyone?


If just 50 is the difference then I wouldn't mind getting the loan to be honest but that is not the case all around the world, especially in developing countries so the mortgage amount is at least double or triple the rent amount and also the job security is comparatively less that is why its wise to choose the investment overpaying for an asset for the entire lifetime.

Now real estate is not growing that much as far as I observed and also this work-from-home trend took a decent amount of people from the crowded city to remote places so they avoid rent expenses also have more money to save, maybe  the future can turn either way however the safest chance will not produce the highest returns so one who wants to reach the line before others has to take the investment risk.

Avoid accessing bitcointalk or just any other website via public wifi because its more vulnerable and you can't even get a hint that your personal details are under someone's radar. And as others said stake your address so incase you are hacked it will help you to prove the ownership of the account.

Relationships and businesses should never have collided with each other for any reason.

Well, technically you can if they don't know about crypto but trust you with your decision then you can act like their fund manager and take the certain percentage from their profits but before doing that you must come up with written paper work and what are your terms and conditions, importantly what will happen in case of loss to the principal amount.

Bitcoin mining is profitable but when you have the right equipment and a better environment to accommodate them then only you can save electricity bills and make money. As far as I know cloud mining is not really possible anymore to bitcoin so you can partner with others and start mining with ASICs or simply invest on bitcoin for long term.
1648  Other / Meta / Re: Why we do not have an official YT channel to counter mainstream? on: January 25, 2023, 04:04:51 PM
There is no official in the decentralization so we have to fight against the centralized power with the community and everyone is free to express their opinion about cryptos and when the news is legit it will get awareness about certain range but remember still we are posting them on the centralized media so if there is a day when we have complete freedom to express what we want to tell and there is no censorship then we may achieve the highest reach as possible.
1649  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Bitcoin gaining this much fame despite it's restrictions? on: January 25, 2023, 04:00:11 AM

Bitcoin gaining a much fame because most of countries doesn't ban Bitcoin and there are few country already accept it as legal tender.
I don't know where OP is from but from the past, I remember whenever China tried to ban bitcoin it backfired by gaining more popularity and value so it all depends on how people see it and what the government is trying to do with it.

In this 2023, almost the community exposed what bitcoin is capable of which forcing the governments to make it legal or regulate it as an asset since they found they literally can't ban bitcoin unless their blackout internet worldwide forever.

Some of the expert suggest loan a house instead of paying rent so at the end of mortgage period you will be left with an asset but it will not work every where especially you mentioned rent is cheap comparing to mortgage amount so here is what you should do.

Let's assume the house you want to buy has mortgage of 600 dollars per month but the rent for same house is 400 so here is what you should do, just choose rent and think you have to pay mortgage every month which means you have 200 dollars extra and you have to keep investing the amount every month into something with decent returns and low risk as long as you can, so at the end of 10 years you may not own a house but the investment you made all those years along with the compounding effect you will have much more money than the worth of that house.

Creating a topic is not as easy as it looks. Am running low on ideas; with this one having to literally source for contents no one would have seen or given a second thought to. With having to ensure I also avoid the pitfalls of plagiarism or spam.

These days, with so many topics and discussions held here, I wonder what topic it is, that I would create that hasn't been created already or the kind of discussion that wouldn't head in same direction with answers of old.

Where can I get good quality materials and topic sources from?
How do I tailor a discussion to get the right answers?

You are not really supposed to create a thread when you actually don't have a point, either you can stick with the discussions.

Do you think creating topics will get you merits?

It may work for a while but not forever so stop forcing yourself to pretend someone when you aren't actually.
1652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs CBDC - Print your own stickers on: January 24, 2023, 01:50:28 PM
Me,  I am not worried about Bitcoin here. I am worried here is most of the altcoins here, most of the altcoins right now are centralized. There is no threat for Bitcoin here as even if there will be CBDC, it's still fiat and it's still the opposite with Bitcoin, the inflation is still there. While Bitcoin is solving the problem that we have right now in our traditional finance.



Most altcoins are shit and centralized but they are backed by supply and demand whereas the CBDC just by nothing other than promise of central bank which is more vulnerable than owning something which has actual value.

I don't know how much accurate the world map is but countries like India, CHina and few others launched their CBDC but not pushing it too much for now among their citizen but sooner we can expect them to make such efforts.
1653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Too accessible of online casino grows addiction faster? on: January 24, 2023, 11:27:28 AM
I have a discussion with a close relative about online gambling and he said something that about how he hate gambling online because it's too addictive, he claimed real life casinos are better and less addictive because he will have to drive down to Las Vegas to gamble or drive down to a local casino and this still takes some physical effort and it discourages many people from frequenting gambling.

He said with online gambling it's available on through mobile phones and you can play at any time, this means no shortage of gambling around the clock and no shortage of losing money as well, you can easily pull out your phone and gamble with any free time, a bit compulsive and too accessible.

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong? 


Its subjective, what if I feel taking my phone on the hands and go to a browser and login to a casino site and choose a game and decide bet amount and finally click the roll which involves some physical activity too so anyone who feel driving down to a casino can say the same reason for gambling online too. Roll Eyes

If you decide to gamble online its your own decision, if you decide to smoke its your own decision so you are in control of it so you can't blame the availability of products for your pleasure.
1654  Economy / Reputation / Re: My apology to all. And please read the whole post before you do anything. on: January 24, 2023, 09:43:44 AM
It's Tanvi50_. So technically it's not mine, but I do have access to it. I have taken some of the merits in the past from that account, and I will say this again. I didn't know back then that how merits works. And other submission were getting a lot of merits, so I thought I can get some from my sister's account. So I did. The amount is 28, but I did also give merits to other people too. You can check my merit history. Someone I know personally, I shared it with him, and he said it was against the rules of Forum. So after that I stopped doing it and only gave out merits to who deserved it.


First of all abusing with the merits won't get you a ban and moderators have nothing to do with the merit abuse and DT community decides whether you can be trusted after doing such a thing with their ratings.

Technically you circulated the merits between yourself either its from your own account or your sister's as per your story but you did on yourself which is not really encouraged again this won't get you a ban but you're at the risk of getting negged.

And for the next part, you can merit any post you want as long as you're doing it from your own sMerits, like if you simply like a post or even a post with one word received tons so it all depends on the adding meaning to the discussion in some part.
1655  Economy / Reputation / Re: A theory, DT in/exclusion and eventually the DT network on: January 22, 2023, 02:34:42 PM

While these users were doing all merit hunting and DT status planning, they basically isolated themselves in a group. A group of people who support everything they do between each others and justify it. They also set up a dangerous mindset that they like to think in everything there have a fishy reason. Harassing newbie to old OG members as if they are some sort of powerful authority in the forum now.

One thing is common to these users now and you can easily find them. When they rank up to their desire rank they slow it down. A newbie or a full member who used to create a scam accusation topic almost daily or fair to say 3 to 4 times a week, she/he does not even make posts in scam accusation board that frequently. Looking at their post history you will easily realize they are making 3 to 5 lines of one paragraph and posting it everywhere.

Those members from 2017 and later who are in the DT system, they care too much about the DT system, result is all these drama when we see someone is distrusting. You distrust someone for some reason, you are in their hunting list.



Since I am also a member who joined the forum at the time period you were talking about and after reading this I am recollecting many names who used to be scam and altaccount hunters and their reputation also grown quick as you said and they completely changed their behaviour after reaching hero or legendary.

I am not sure the actual reason for their change but I thought they simply want to avoid the drama happens whenever they expose someone or some project and also the era of ICO ended after 208/19 so they have a reason to stop in case of scam hunters.



DT status becomes possible for many members especially after the implementation of new DT system so are we in need of any change in that especially for DT2?
1656  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How Visible is your trading plan on: January 22, 2023, 11:38:52 AM
I don't have a flowchart or triple monitor setup for trading, I just trade from my mind and it works most of the time but I want to remind you something I am strong with the basics of trading an investing also I am sure that I will follow the basics at all my decisions so never cared about writing it on paper and keep seeing it every day to observe it or it may come with bitter experience or at least to me.

I keep it simple, buy an amount and set my target price when it hits I go for sell and I keep all these separate from my day trading and investments of long term.
1657  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk as a Mobile App - Trick for iOS/iPhone on: January 22, 2023, 07:45:14 AM
The biggest problems with posting on Bitcointalk from a mobile app is dealing with quotes and multiquotes. No mobile app can help me to select parts of someone's post, copy only that, delete the rest, quickly add code for hyperlinks, images, etc. The experience doesn't improve, but gets worse on the phone. Imagine trying to create a table on your phone. This is OK for general forum browsing and reading. Making the occasional post here and there, sure. But a phone is never going to become a substitute for a desktop device with a mouse.  

That is a real pain and when you wanted to reply to a post but you are on your phone so can't be able to select and express what you actually wanted to express, I regretted many times while posting via phone for not selecting the actual content I want to reply and images too.

Screen size matters here because we can connect the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse on an android device with the help of gadgets still it will be difficult to select while comparing with the mouse on 15" or 22" laptop/desktop.

Anything related to creativity is at the risk of getting replaced by these AI programs in the near future ironically there won't be any new innovations if we cut down all the innovators and choose automation so it can go one or the other way.

We hear the universal basic income for everyone but it can't become real even if all the jobs took over by robots because why government is going to pay someone for doing nothing at all? They expect everyone to bring revenue to them or else they're just a burden to them.
1659  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best crypto selling method on exchanges on: January 21, 2023, 05:16:07 PM
I will go for the instant trading at most of the times because I don't feel comfortable with having my money in the hands of exchange for a too long but before depositing the money I will make sure what is the price trading on the particular exchange where I am going to deposit irrespective of what coin tracking websites shows to as and also I note about the trading volume around my desired selling price so I won't regret later for the transaction period.
1660  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is Remitano.com SCAM? on: January 21, 2023, 03:50:36 PM
Remitano is a TOTAL SCAM in legal field. (another one of MILLIONS of others)
Just a few days back I  Shocked uploaded money (0.04857 BTC ~839 USD) from Perfectmoney to Remitano
And here the nightmare begins:

1) They frozen my money for using VPN
2) They asked to upload documents and photos
3) After this money still be frozen for 96 hours
4) To unfroze faster they ask to verify phone number
5) Since I live not in the country where my passport issued - they ask bank account, passport photo, visa photo
6) After this they ask to verify phone number but it doesnt let to verify phone number from the country you living (they say it should be from the country of your passport (everybody including Google already a few years assume and behave like no one can travel to other countries (building their own jail planet)
7) when you say them you can only verify phone number from the country you living in currently but not from the country where your passport THEY ASK YOU TO RECORD THE VIDEO WHERE YOU ARE TELLING THAT YOU ARE *NAME* AND YOU ARE ACCEPTING THAT YOU ARE GOING TO USE REMITANO FOR LAWFUL PURPOSES BLA BLA BLA - and what is the MOST important, when they send you the photo examples of how you should record the video, there are pictures of COW WITH THE BELL (like they are making fun of you that you are a cattle with the bell on the chest) (thats how so called "authorities" hating crypto and people using that).
Cool at the end your bitcoins is still FROZEN because they are not asking all of this to just get your money back:
They just let you deposit money to catch you, then they gather information about you and they will ask more and more documents until you give up.

Conclusion: Remitano is a total scam and those who organise and working on that criminal company should be investigated properly and call to account for crimes against humanity and crypto community.

I have a doubt after reading what they asked for verification, did you really deposit the funds on the legit site or fell for any clone via ads?

I never used remittano but its not a complete scam website based on my knowledge, they work on different regions and allow trades so please check whether you're talking about the real one or fake one and also check the transaction history of bitcoin address which you used to deposit on their platform and cross check the address for any scam warnings.
