No problem, it's online.

You're down again, both versions - with clearnet showing the error "SSL handshake failed". Maybe you should first find reliable hosting + properly configure everything necessary and only then try to deal with this kind of business Wink

It looks like the site is now offline, both the clearnet and Tor Mirror. Someone please confirm, who knows? It could just be me.

I confirm that the site is offline (both versions). Maybe OP decided to fix some things, and maybe he realized that the mixer isn't something that just can work like that. Luckily, the choice of mixers is more than good, one more or less does not mean too much.

The day isn't far when we will be seeing Bitcoin price above $40k or even above $50k, and those who are holding their Bitcoin will finally is rewarded for their patience. I love Bitcoin because it doesn't pumps like other shit-coins, and that's why it's far more safer than those shitty-coins.

Finally rewarded? I've been rewarded every day since 2014 when I got my first satoshi Wink

We've all been beginners once and most of us have acted like OP, and if you go back to your beginning and the first post you can see that you also didn't do very well on the forum at the beginning. Sticky threads existed then, as they do today, right?

Hi everyone, i have a trusted business partner that introduced me to bitcoin few years ago,since i was so keen about these digital currency, he had to introduce me to these great forum.

OK, so the Giga-Chads have already opened a debate about the issue.

There's also another shower thought that I brought up before. What if the banksters and institutions like BlackRock hold more than 50% of the Bitcoin in circulation, and increasing. Could be say that Bitcoin as a currency has failed?

Bitcoin will always remain available to ordinary people even in the event that someone owns 50% or more coins, and that means that the idea on which Satoshi designed the whole thing will still exist. As for the question of whether Bitcoin has failed as a currency, it's highly debatable, but I believe we can agree that most people don't perceive it that way.

It remains to be seen what effects the possible spot BTC ETF will produce (short-term or long-term), but I personally hope that there will always be a certain percentage of people who will follow Satoshi's vision and will not deviate from the basic ideas - which means that Bitcoin will always represent what it represents today.

It seems to me that the author has overlooked a lot and that the US in terms of everything related to cryptocurrencies, and especially Bitcoin, is a much bigger superpower than Europe, especially if we consider only EU members. For my country, which has been a member of the EU for more than 10 years, there is no data at all for some reason, although the tax laws are similar to those in Germany (0% after 2 years), and physical crypto transactions up to 1000 EUR do not require KYC.

Besides, does Europe have any companies similar to Microstrategy, Grayscale or even Coinbase? Only BlackRock and Fidelity have produced more articles and videos in the last month than the whole of Europe produces in the whole year when it comes to cryptocurrencies (at least that's my impression).
1687  Economy / Services / Re: I Need Someone Who Can Send And Receive Payments with Paypal on: July 13, 2023, 02:18:34 PM
Maybe we forgot something in this whole story, which is that OP gets BTC or some altcoin, and whoever receives payments to his PP must take into account that he can at any time be asked by PP to prove the legitimacy of the money and additional verification. There is also the question of paying taxes, because regardless of the fact that it is a US-based service, other countries can ask for (and get) data about their citizens who use this service.

All that for 10% or maybe 15% doesn't seem attractive to me at all.
1688  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: wBTC and BTC on: July 13, 2023, 01:38:09 PM
Where did you see wBTC at $20k? That would be a great arbitrage opportunity since you can still unwrap it (redeem/burn) for real BTC onchain. Cheesy

I guess he saw that information in WO because he is active there, and someone posted today that this token has been in a bit of a problem in the last 7 days. Honestly, I don't pay attention to any variations (forks) of BTC, not even to this wrapped version.
1689  Economy / Economics / Re: I want to get spot bitcoin ETF news directly from the SEC on: July 13, 2023, 11:09:29 AM
I want to know the exact second that SEC would approve bitcoin spot ETF directly. I do not want it to be what I will read on the crypto new later after people would have bought and the price would have increased. Although there is more to bitcoin spot ETF because more people will invest and bitcoin marketcap may not get below trillion of dollar ever again.

How can I get the news directly from the SEC in a matter of a second? Is it through their website or which news?

To find out classified information before others, you must have a source within the SEC, which means you have to get a job at that agency or you have to find a way to become friends with Uncle Gensler Grin

Now seriously, I take it you think that the possible approval of spot BTC ETF might cause bull run, but somehow it doesn't seem to me that it's wise to wait for that very moment when you can practice the DCA method today and prepare for that moment. When (if) this happens, you should count on many people to want to react like you, and that means that most CEX could go offline under pressure from clients, and fees could go skyrocketing.

However, it should be taken into account that after this news the market will react positively, but also that it will not be long-lived because who can say with certainty that large investors will really invest billions in such a fund?

Examples from some other countries where such an ETF exists have shown that large investors are not too enthusiastic about it, although we can hardly compare such a market in Canada with that in the US.

But gold is always mined every day and the amount will always increase. While bitcoin is decreasing in number from day to day. Nonsense that bitcoins total 21 million. Bitcoin is not up to 21 million, many people have lost their wallet keys

So, for now maybe just for fun, but for the next 50 or 100 years? Who knows

Gold also has other applications besides storing value, but the truth is that it has unlimited supply, of course, if we take into account that it exists outside our planet and that some estimates say that it will be technically and economically profitable to mine it in about fifty years.

As for BTC max supply, it is true that it is set to 21 million and that part of it is currently or even irretrievably lost, but it is also true that in the future there may be a consensus to increase this number, because it is only about code which can be changed at any time. People change with time, so what was incomprehensible to people 50 years ago is now a commonly accepted thing in society.

Not to be misunderstood, I am not in favor of such radical changes and I think that max supply should remain just as it is, but will some people think the same in 50 or 100 years?

$120k is not peanuts and you didn't do your homework. This is going to leave a mark in your finances.

If you have a salary of as much as $10 000 a month many on this forum would envy you and wonder what exactly you do for that money - and you still have time to participate in sig campaigns - a great success Grin

Who knows, maybe OP earns twice as much as you, so that loss won't be too much of a problem for him Undecided
1692  Other / Archival / Re: [banned mixer] - Premium Bitcoin Mixer | Launched in 2018 🛡️ on: July 13, 2023, 09:14:05 AM
I recently joined this campaign and it was logical to test how their service works. I have to admit that the mixing method that this mixer provides is really unique because the coins we get after mixing are not part of those coins that users send to the mixer, but they should be coins that come from other sources (exchanges). Therefore, such coins should not be marked as tainted when we use them in further transactions.

As for the mixing process itself, I tried the free mixing of 0.001 BTC and the process is quite simple as with most mixers. After a while I received an identical amount in my wallet and I have no objection to that.

What I noticed is that there is no special page for free mix, and this may confuse some users since the final page contains the following warning "Please send your bitcoins (min 0.003, max 50 BTC) to the address".

In addition, this warning does not look correct if we take into account what the FAQ says regarding the minimum amount, and there it says "Q - What is the minimum amount of funds for cleansing? A - 0.005 BTC".

Another thing I noticed is that there is no change on the mix link when the transaction is confirmed and sent, but it still reads the message "A transaction is detected, the sum is 0.001 BTC, awaiting confirmation".



Of course, all these are things that do not affect the process that happens in the background and that do not affect the end result. I hope that [banned mixer] will continue to develop its unique mixing methods and provide all clients with the best premium experience.

Just when you think these scammers are finally gone, a new case arises, and I have to admit it with a pretty large amount. It doesn't make sense to repeat what others have already written, but it's definitely strange that someone who obviously doesn't understand even the basics invests as much as $120k in a way that chooses an intermediary with such a disastrous reputation.

However, such an amount would activate red flags on any CEX, and I am sure that the account would be blocked until verification was made - with the difference that it would happen within some reasonable time, while Freewallet has a modus operandi consisting of endless requirements that few can meet.

Given where the company is registered, I'm surprised there hasn't already been a joint lawsuit because there are hundreds or maybe even thousands of people to whom this has happened.

The number of people on earth = 8,000,000,000 [2022] ~ source

The number of bitcoins divided by the number of people on earth
21.000.000 : 8,000,000,000 = 0.002625 btc

The number of gold divided by the number of people on earth
244.000.000 : 8,000,000,000 = 0.0305 kg

Let's say that these calculations of yours are more fun/informative than serious thinking, because no matter how you look at things, 8 billion people in that calculation does not make sense, because everyone will never use BTC, even if everyone miraculously has access to the internet, how many are under the age of 10 or under 18?

In general, it is a bad assumption that all people on Earth want or need to use something, and all the data we have suggests that from 2009 to date less than 5% of people have been involved with Bitcoin in some way. What I'm saying is that most people will never use Bitcoin, but also for many, gold is just a decoration and nothing more than that.
1696  Economy / Services / Re: Want to hack some websites' Cpanel on: July 12, 2023, 11:01:41 AM
Can you explain how there is nothing illegal about wanting to have unauthorized access to other people's sites? I'm really interested in how the legality of hacking websites is justified.

Maybe OP comes from a society where private property and hacking are viewed in a completely different way, and over the years I have had the opportunity to see people on this forum who have behaved in such a way. Plagiarism is one way of stealing, but there are a lot of users who still do it and think there's nothing wrong with it.

I remember that event well, and I even had that picture as an avatar for a while. The man definitely had the courage to do something like that, and obviously it paid off through donations, although it is important to emphasize that he spent most of the 7.03 BTC during 2017, which means that he did not have good timing.

Besides, some say granny Yellen got even more mad at BTC after that, but not everyone can be happy in stories like this, can they?
1698  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - The road to a SIX DIGIT price valuation on: July 12, 2023, 09:40:12 AM
There could also be another hash war and if BlackRock and its cartel of ETF issuers have the same proposal in each of their registration statement, they may have some impact of their own on what's to be considered "The Bitcoin". Because they could follow one fork and threaten to dump the other side of the fork. What if the other side they plan to dump is Bitcoin, BTC?

I understand people who think that the spot BTC ETF should have a positive effect on the price, but apparently there are very few who think at all about the far-reaching consequences when it comes to such big predators as BR or Fidelity. I have never read the requirements for the BTC ETFs in detail, but it would be interesting to find out if any other company had a similar text in its conditions, or is this something that BR did first?

There is an old post on Reddit written by admin @theymos 4-5 years ago on the subject of BTC ETF, I have quoted it several times on the forum, and somehow it seems to me that it could be the closest to the truth.

Quote
Agreed, an ETF will almost certainly turn into a disaster at some point. The coins will be stolen, forks will be handled controversially, there will be issues with fungibility (eg. someone will "trace stolen coins" to the ETF's stash), the world will freak out when a bunch of retirees lose their life savings after doing the equivalent of buying BTC at $20k, etc. etc. It'll also get the sort of people who love regulation more into BTC, which is never good.

But investors want it, so it'll probably happen eventually. In particular, I totally condemn trying to get regulators to interfere in the free market more than they already do by blocking any ETF. (When the SEC was last looking into this, I had actually written a long document that I was going to send to them in order to comment on many technical issues with their proposed Bitcoin ETF regulation, but I decided not to send it because I don't want to have even the slightest hand in regulations.)

An ETF probably will increase the price a lot (until the ETF suffers its near-inevitable catastrophe), which has some pros and cons.

Note that an ETF can't affect Bitcoin itself, just the ETF investors and the market. There is no voting of any sort in Bitcoin, so it's not as if holding a lot of BTC gives you any power over Bitcoin, for example. I do agree with Andreas that the creation of a "corpo-Bitcoin" seems probable, perhaps after the ETF loses a ton of BTC and wants to undo it.

To all those who read my opinions in different topics, you know that I'm cynical towards BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF because of the vague wording used about hard forks in their registration statement.

I found it and read it, and I have to admit that what is written there does not look good at all, because the fact that it is written there may mean that they (BlackRock) actually have the idea to make a fork in the future, and to use their influence and money, of course, to create its centralized version of BTC.

I have written in several posts that I think that all these big companies only care about profit and that they don't care what will happen to Bitcoin in the long term. Of course, for some it is not too important in the event that before that those companies create a massive bull run and inflate the price of BTC so that everyone becomes rich - although when I say everyone, it will certainly not be possible, because someone's gain is always someone's loss.

Does anyone believe the Mt. Gox repayment event may cause a downtrend?
Forget about 69 Billion Japanese yen and $40 million forked coin BCH.
Mt Gox will pay 142000 Bitcoins to creditors around $4.3 billion.

As far as I know, Mt.Gox will not pay everything at once, but in several tranches - and in addition, everyone got the option to choose whether they want to be paid in BTC/BCH or to their bank accounts. I believe that a part of people will prefer to accept payments to their bank accounts, which means that a good part of BTC will be sold by the bankruptcy trustee, and I hope that he has at least some business sense and will do it using OTC.

This is another biggest event before the halving.

Some just want to take advantage of the possibility that this will happen, but for me personally it is overblown and according to what I have already written, it should not have too much impact on the price of BTC. Of course, I'm not saying that people won't panic, as with any similar news - but weak hands will always be welcome to fill the bags of those who are just waiting for such opportunities.
