Without having to learn new skills, the easiest way to earn is by providing a service to forum of which it wouldn't be much different from what one does in real life, say for example if you are a software developer IRL you can provide those services here as they come in handy, so it content translations and many more! Let's not limit ourselves to signature campaigns and the alike as not everyone will make the cut if we put this as a top earning activity  Roll Eyes

i was thinking about earning through forums and seems this forum doesn't recommend this one. thanks for all the points you guys told.
By "forum doesn't recommend this one "what do you mean??

Why bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency to be used as an investment asset
Well it's actually not only bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies that has been used as an investment,  we have gold the oldest asset out there that a be treated as a store of value and an investment!

For some countries that have high inflation or hyper inflation, they have gone an extra mile to convert whatever local currency they have to get more stable currencies such as the United States dollar as a cushion to power performing economies that as negatively affected their fiat and to avoid this when to invest in the US dollar of which profits can be made while the local fiat weakens.

I think the only reason why Bitcoin is the most preferred Crypto to be used as an investment asset is the quantity of it being available in the market and the mathematics behind it.
Nice and simple explanation 👍,  the mathematics adds up and anybody looking for a reason to invest can be convinced by this..thanks to the limited supply 😀
1723  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My easy way to teach your kids bitcoin. on: July 26, 2023, 06:54:32 AM
I know that it is not too advisable to teach kids bitcoin,but you can still teach them if you want them to have the idea of bitcoin.
Let's just say let kids be kids, but if we still insist they learn then this is a continuous process from them being kids to somewhere were they get to be teens when they can make conscious decisions.

I want to share my strategy on how to teach kids bitcoin and you can try it. Especially, those of us that want our kids to know what bitcoin is or have the basic knowledge of bitcoin. If you have a cartoon on bitcoin,you can put it for them to watch and after watching,ask them if they enjoyed it.
Kids develop an interest in something if they see what their parent's or guardians do on a daily basis and not things they don't see...if you are a doctor and they see you with  a Stethoscope everyday,  they too will want it. Unlike bitcoin, it's quite difficult to attract kids using btc unless you talk about it everyday.

As of the cartoons, let's just say Kids are picky with what they watch if they like it they will watch it, you impose it on them guarantee you that they won enjoy it.
1724  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if salaries were paid in BTC on: July 25, 2023, 07:39:44 PM
A friend of mine in our discussion today about Bitcoin was insisting that salaries and wages be paid in Bitcoin in some countries.
I was of the opinion that the government will not allow fiat to be replaced by Bitcoin .
It would be nice to know why your friend thought some countries would benefit from crypto salaries instead of what they have already Smiley
But then again if you think about it, going crypto in terms of wages would be expensive for anybody to keepup has price is always fluctuating meaning running costs and wages would go over budget as to what they are used to and they would drop this newly adopted monetary system unless they go the stable coin route.

so what is your take on this will it be a positive move on the Bitcoin ecosystem or not
Such a development is always going to be a positive for the crypto ecosystem,  but frankly speaking, I think it would hurt the local systems in place as control will nolonger be in the hands of the local systems inspite bitcoin having a recording keeping system of its own.

1726  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US Presidential candidate announces plan to back the US dollar with Bitcoin on: July 24, 2023, 08:46:07 PM
Just for a better and more accurate headline, this is what he actually said: "My plan would be to start very, very small, perhaps 1% of issued T-bills would be backed by hard currency, by gold, silver platinum or bitcoin".

Great news nonetheless, but it's probably getting overblown.
Great news indeed!

But linking bitcoin with fiat, would this be a strong selling point for the USA citizenry to vote for him Roll Eyes

By the way, all things considered this is a big gamble , especially that BRICS is equally speaking the same language when it comes to crypto and the alike , and now the USA wants to take this route when Robert F. Kennedy Jr wins...something not adding up, or is it a technological war in the making as they fight for supremacy.
It's big statement even if has said about 1% of backing up with Bitcoin because if US follow up this step it would have huge impact on other countries and prices as well
Big big news, and everything is lining up well in favor of btc as the halving is in the pipeline,  now the Presidential candidate... well good or bad this is huge on the marketing side of cryptocurrencies!

Breaking News!

As reported by several sources, Al-Hilal officially made an offer for Kylian Mbappe with a fee of 300 million euros. That is a very fantastic fee and could break the record for the most expensive transfer of all time.
These are world breaking numbers if a deal is reached, and with Kylian Mbappes intentions of leaving PSG as a free agent on the owners mind, now this is the real test if the selling of this talented player was a bluff !
Btw, with how transfers having been working out in Europe I really expected this to be in the range of 130- 200 million. But 300million Euros is absurb and someone needs to put a stop to this as this as turned to a non compete league!!!

In my years of being on the forum, I have actually seen Newbies who are not Newbies because they are knowledgeable about cryptocurrencies and the forum, which tells me that we cant get everything at face value, just like the saying you can not judge a book by its cover!

But when it comes to things like forum rules , post quality etcetera I honestly don't expect these guys to act as experts when they haven't hang around the forum long enough.
1729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 on: July 23, 2023, 11:51:38 AM
0-2 so far betting this one.  I had Canada winning and they tied.  And then I bet US over 6 goals scored and they didn't come close.  There was a lot of rust on some of them players out there last night.  Could have easily been 6 or 7 but they missed the mark.  Maybe I should just stay away from betting this tourney lol
I think the tone of these games was set by the opening matches by the host teams which turned out to be low scoring, and ever since this.. all favorites have failed to win games with a goals galore with a few exceptions like Japan that opened their account with 5 goals! But am still hopeful that after the first round of games teams will settle in and play their games without fear.

1731  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We All Know, The halving time will be full of drama on: July 22, 2023, 11:35:37 AM
For me I don't like this halving because alot of people have high expectations on price to jump super high, and what tends to happen is when this day is approaching most cryptonians will buy and upon realizing price isn't getting to an all time high or something, then the dumping starts as they try to recoup their money back!

But on the positive side, the fourth having should be different because we have more crypto users today than ever before, and people could have matured from these buy and dump tendency as they have experienced  this phenomenon that's to come.
So generally the halving should have less drama this time around!
1732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 on: July 22, 2023, 09:09:27 AM
Impressive start for the Japanese women team, solid performance by them as Zambia stood no chance! Liked what I saw with Tanaka, she is quite a talent that should be seen playing for bigger leagues with the quality she has shown the world in front of goal!

But for this group I have no doubt it will be Spain and Japan qualifying, though am looking forward to see how Japan will handle themselves against Spain who are much of a better team than them.

Well as I said before I don't like that much FIFA women soccer yet I checked the bets and placed a double with Japan to win and Netherlands to win.
If these are today's games, Japan has already won by 4 goals to nil..well done! And Netherlands should do the same, and as far as am concerned ai don't think we have much of upsets to come and 80% of the favorites will win!

Not sure if the question belongs here or not, but is it just me or others are experiencing this...if you log into Mixin Safe via the web platform , I have noticed that mixin doesn't log you out automatically even after hours of you not being near you PC! Is this suppose to work this way, thought after X minutes it need should to sign I  with Mornin key 🔑 or something  Roll Eyes
If you believe it's a useful security feature, then I suggest you should add it in your review post if you are part of the selected reviewers. This is the main reason they decided to spend some money on the review campaign… Right?
Only noticed this when I reloaded the mixin dashboard, after several hours of doing my review , anyway a simple edit will fix it ,cheers  Cool

My Mixin Safe Review

To create a mixin safe I had several options to choose from(Mornin key, Ledger Hardware wallet,  Bitcoin Core) and I started with Mornin key because this is a mobile based app which  can be downloaded from the playstore which I thought was convenient for me as I was on mobile ,but unfortunately this is a paying app which forced me to try other available options to see if anyone out there can get started without paying a dime.

 

Second option was to use a ledger hardware wallet but unfortunately my little gadget isnt in yet so had to pass on this option..but in the future might love to test this out if time allows.

Third option was to use Bitcoin Core wallet which was the most popular methods according to Mixin Safe support page at the time of writing this , and looking at the tutorial on the mixin safe walkthrough page, the process seemed to have a lot of typing/coding which I was really not up for as I was on mobile and went with the first option.

So apparently to get Mornin key downloaded on your device for android users like me, you have to pay a small token of 0.99 dollars which is no biggie as we are covered thanx to Mixin Smiley

But another option to download the app is to follow the link shared on their support page to get apk downloaded for free , but to support the project download app from the playstore..otherwise download apk from here ==》 (https://newbie.zeromesh.net/mornin-18.apk)

Steps to setup Wallet with Mornin key



1.Prepare Owner Wallet
First step simply requires you to have the Mornin key manager downloaded on your device,  which is also available only on iOS and Android for now.

2.Prepare Members Wallet

This step involves inviting friends and family to the mixin Messenger wallet , which I downloaded to interact with the the mixin ecosystem.


3.Set Mixin Messenger PIN
Think of this as an authentication key to proceed, and btw this was one fun thing I did on the mixin ecosystem...having to enter pin like 4 times was oddly mind blowing and I love different Cool


4.Add Mixin Messenger Contacts
-Think of these as contacts you will be interacting, you can chat with via Mixin Messenger app, can also use these contacts as your multisig members or emergency contacts, the possibilities are endless.


5.Set Emergency Contact
For this step I just added a special someone as the emergency contact because you can't be too careful.

6.Sign in Mixin Safe
-If you get this far, you are ready to create your first safe.

CREATING A SAFE

To create a safe, this is done in 3 easy steps
  • Give the safe a name and pick the blockchain or coin available from the drop-down menu and at the time of writing this, this is limited to bitcoin & litecoin for now
  • Set Owner and add members
  • Lastly Approve!

Btw, before anything its advisable to upgrade your plan to enjoy the perks that come with this such as getting the Recovery service, X number of members to be added depending on plan, create X number of Safes depending on plan etc and I paid for a plan before creating a safe, though the process is Safe first then pay for plan last Cool


Personally, I choose to go with the standard plan as the package suits my needs and most should afford this option....I mean its $2  Roll Eyes
Did I also mention that mixin Safe wallet makes it easy for anyone that wants to upgrade with their multicoin support, see image below for coins available and let those high transaction fees not stop you.


After making my subscription this is what I saw on my dashboard, and I can still upgrade to other plans if I wanted to have the extra perks.


To continue the Safe creation, I added an extra member before the completion of the mixin safe, as this is a prerequisite and after this process was ready to see how multisig works as safe creation was succesfully done.

PUTTING MIXIN MULTISIG TO THE TEST

For this test, I have 2 members set up for the multisig process, which is myself and my crypto buddy as the other member, and also set it to a 2 out of 2 threshold for this test as can be seen by the image below. With kind of setup, this implies that should someone have unauthorized access to the wallet and I have funds stored in the safe, the user will not transfer coins out unless they have the other member key to complete the required threshold!


Next step was me acting as the owner and sending out some crypto out to see how much of the extra security multisig has when using mixin.
And as can be seen from the image below, coins could not be sent out without the approval of the owner(me) and other member(s).


Upon hitting the send coins, approval was required and this is what is expected to be seen by both parties.
-Image on the left shows what to expect to see on your dashboard after other member approves
-Image on the right shows a nice tidy interface of what to expect after all required members approve the transaction.


After both approvals were done, within 3 to 10 seconds a transaction hash is given where I was able to track my transaction, and tx confirmed within the next block which was impressive thought they would apply small fees to our transactions Grin


Just a few questions for the devs:
  • Why is creating a Mixin safe only available on desktop and not the mobile app??
  • Is an in-app coin exchanger possible for the sake of convenience
  • The walkthroughs on the website aren't user friendly based on my experience, is having some kind of mini videos possible to make the various processes easier?
  • Is it possible to have card payments added to mixin to have users easily upgrade their subscriptions as not everyone could be familiar with cryptocurrencies
  • Lastly this is 50/50, when using mixin on mobile, funds received in safe never get to show as wallet balance in spite of having a positive balance...how does this one work?

***Edit***

Something i discovered yesterday, when you log into Mixin Safe via the web platform (https://safe.mixin.zone), I have noticed that mixin doesn't log you out automatically even after several hours of you not being near you PC. For a users security is this not suppose to work in such a way, that after X minutes it should log you out automatically or be asking you to sign In  with Mornin key 🔑 or something...better yet a sign out period can be included in settings or something, my 2cents.
Thanks @logfiles for the advice  Cool

Nice to see some positive news to suck up all the negative  vibes going on in the markets, and this coming from a recognized Bank such as Standard Chartered is big news! Though am surprised they are predicting low prices, thought they would be going over board like a million dollars or something...certainly played it safe with their predictions.

But while they are bullish on crypto, what have they done as a bank to make their mark in the crypto world 🌎,  my guess nothing!!
And I think being in the crypto space for a while now, such news will always remain mere speculation as everyone is trying to tap into a new niche that could benefit their business and this is no different!
1739  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Sells or Buy influence the market value ? on: July 21, 2023, 01:24:17 PM
I have been hearing for a long time that large-scale of selling and buying Bitcoin has a big impact on the market. So now a question arasie in my mind that how this proccess manupulate  the market. I wanna know some details from you guys.
Thank you

~speedx~

It's not really manipulation if you are selling or buying on the open market without any bad intentions, but very much possible to manipulate the price if you hodl a good stash of some crypto and you want to influence price in some way and trigger the herd mentality of which users will try follow what a whale is doing!

As of the question on how sells and buys influence the market value, well think of this being a tag of war...whoever comes out the Victor after the war decides the direction of the market on that particular day and in this case the US government selling a huge chunk of coins means putting selling pressure on the market such that if you were looking at the charts you could see a huge red candle for this transaction as it fills all buying orders at market value going down from highest to lowest order till all coins are sold.

In the last World Cup Costa Rica and Spain drew 1 goal.
I believe that today Spain is a little stronger, even so it shouldn't be an easy game.
Easy game indeed!

Spain leads against Costa Rica 🇨🇷  by 3 goals to nil and it has only being 34 minutes which is scary! Btw , Spain just missed a penalty and the wave keeps coming...
If these Costa Ricans aren't careful this could be a cricket scoreline.
Inplay Prediction: Spain 7-0 Costa Rica

The world cup just started, but there has been a lot of surprises so far for everyone who has been watching. From the first game that New Zealand women made a new record and won a game that they were seen as the loosing team, to Nigerian women securing a draw against Canadian women who had the most possession, were the Olympic champions, had a penalty that they failed to utilize, so we may also see Costa Rica surprise us too and win against Spain who look like the favorite for the game.
Not to look down on the women, but we shall have more surprise results to come, because of handballs,  penalties and all those little mistakes that make it easy to get on the scoreline and anybody betting on these games should be cashing in on a game to have a penalty!!
