It took me like 5 seconds of using Google to have a rough answer, and a few more minutes just to make sure that the information in the Google results snippet is accurate.

Like, come on.

This is pretty much just a "you should patiently hold bitcoin" that's just stretched out to make it look like a thread that's been actually worked on lmao. We already have like 346346434 variations of this topic.
1803  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is the motto of bitcoin? on: February 24, 2023, 01:06:57 AM
Bitcoin is neither a company nor a business, it has a logo but it has no motto. Bitcoin logo is enough, or it isn't? The logo that indicates bitcoin is enough.

Heck — even the famous orange BTC logo isn't "official" and isn't even released by Satoshi Nakamoto. It was just created by a forum user called bitboy (not Bitboy Crypto, the YouTube grifter). What people think as Bitcoin's 'official' anything mostly isn't official — it's just what the community chose to use.
1804  Economy / Economics / Re: Did the Bitcoin Maimi conference 2022 contribute to Bitcoin price. on: February 24, 2023, 12:48:47 AM
This brought me to my worries if is is right to attribute the slight growth in price as a result of the 2022 conference and what to expect after that of 2023.

The conference was like what? Almost mid 2022? Not sure how we could point to that.

Also funnily enough, the cryptocurrency space has this thing with conferences where prices drop right after the events lol.
1805  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there a way to invest in food related industry to recoup market inefficiency on: February 23, 2023, 06:11:26 AM
I read few articles where majority of Americans are depends on microwave and canned foods [1] [2] but if foods price always increase and it force Americans to buy canned foods, but why Campbell Soup's stock price isn't always increase?

Simply because it's not that simple. Food increase means people gets priced out of some food — and at the same time, price of ingredients of these food companies increase as well.
1806  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there a way to invest in food related industry to recoup market inefficiency on: February 23, 2023, 05:27:35 AM
Not 100% sure (just thinking on the top of my head), but you're probably better off buying farm/agriculture stocks than buying food business stocks. The only one I know is Farmland Partners Inc ($FPI) — which I personally don't own, so just dyor.
1807  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hardware wallet questions on: February 23, 2023, 04:45:31 AM
That's the reason why there's a physical paper given to you when you bought your new trezor wallet.

Just a heads up that it might be better to not use the physical paper that's given by hardware wallet companies. Writing the backup down on a simple piece of paper can make it seem more 'unimportant' to thieves, compared to the paper given by hardware wallet companies that clearly indicates that it's a crypto wallet backup.
1808  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: FIX THE MONEY - FIX THE WORLD #Bitcoin on: February 23, 2023, 04:08:57 AM
To make Bitcoin more friendly with the crowd, I don't think we should spread that statement that can makes side effects.

It's technically nonfactual due to the reasons you've listed, but it's one damn great slogan though. Giving less money/funding to the governments should greatly reduce their power over people and less funding for wars — which in itself is a huge thing.

^But yea, it doesn't fix everything lol.
1809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another story telling how billionaires hate bitcoin? - read over quick coffee. on: February 23, 2023, 03:57:20 AM
"Blockchain is great, but Bitcoin/altcoins freakin' suck."

I freakin hate this one. It's mostly being said by those who hate bitcoin/crypto, but acknowledges blockchain so they wouldn't sound like a tech/innovation snob.
1810  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Ballet wallets on: February 23, 2023, 03:32:39 AM
There is something I do not understand.  Why do some people like buying Bitcoin Wallets that have already been generated.

1. As a collectible. The same reason why some people bought Casascius coins back in the day.
2. Ignorance (mostly the case I think). Some people think they're buying a hardware wallet or something.
1811  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does inflation affects bitcoin? on: February 22, 2023, 10:11:36 PM
Inflation affects markets in general — may it be investment assets like stocks/crypto or assets in general, commodities, liabilities, you name it. Do some quick research on how markets in general reacted to the approximate 8% inflation of the USD.
1812  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What's highest amount instant exchanges can be trusted with? on: February 22, 2023, 10:00:04 PM
What's your plan in case they ask for KYC?

Depends how much money I get 'caught' with. If the amount money I have on the exchange was too high for me to take a loss, then I'd be forced to submit AML/KYC. On the other hand if I can handle the loss, then I'd definitely wouldn't submit AML/KYC.

While I do deposit -> exchange -> withdraw in the span of minutes, I can still get screwed if they suddenly asked for AML/KYC at deposit/withdrawal request.
1813  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What's highest amount instant exchanges can be trusted with? on: February 22, 2023, 05:45:43 AM
I don't think there's a single no-KYC swaps exchange that I currently trust even a bit lol. Even Changelly which was pretty reputable back then(if I remember correctly?) now forces AML/KYC.

Personally, I just use the typical spot exchange like KuCoin as they currently don't enforce AML/KYC. Been using it for years now without submitting AML/KYC; but of course don't expect it to be like this forever.
1814  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: DFPI launches a new scam tracker for users in California on: February 22, 2023, 04:56:04 AM
I noticed one disadvantage of these scam tracker software, especially the DFPI software. Victims must have fallen prey to their predators before others get alerted about the scam on the scam tracker site. It can only reduce the scam activity and adds time to the existence of cryptocurrency scams, as the scammers would not hesitate to launch a new website to continue their bad attitude.

You pretty much nailed it. By the time someone that's financially savvy enough to see that it's a scam — chances are, there already are victims. But I guess this is better than nothing so there's that.

Still, education is still the most effective way of combating scams in my opinion. Most people simply just don't want to take the time and effort into reading about these stuff.

1815  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's second biggest weekly gain happened yesterday on: February 22, 2023, 04:46:47 AM
What do you guys think? Is this Whale manipulation or Bear market is over and we might see a new ATH by end of this year?

Why should this price movement mean anything? Why couldn't it simply be the fact that people just simply bought bitcoin, because it's highly likely to be the case anyway? Everything doesn't need to have some grand meaning.
1816  Other / Meta / Re: What is the most appropriate place to post art on this forum? on: February 22, 2023, 03:42:56 AM
I assume you're going to post art for the purpose of selling graphics design services or something similar.

If so, post on the Service Announcements section instead: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=84.0
1817  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Hacked for 165k STAKE.COM on: February 22, 2023, 03:03:08 AM
I don't know about procedure of Tether to freeze/ ban a wallet but I believe they have it. Tether token recoveries is not to freeze or ban a wallet but you can find some information. If the amount exceeding $1000, they will support you but charge you 10% of the recovery amount.

You can try to create a support ticket at Tether. Contact Tether Support and maybe will need support from Stake team with evidence of that hack, withdrawal to convince Tether team.

Not sure what are the chances of Tether helping out OP since OP is using a gambling platform (which is pretty much a regulatory slippery slope), but I guess there's nothing to lose now. Might as well try.
1818  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think will happen once Hong Kong legalizes bitcoin? on: February 22, 2023, 02:10:58 AM
Then if the news is actually true, then bitcoin will be more accessible to people? (which is great, obviously) But what else are you expecting? A bombastic green candle that would bring bitcoin to all-time highs? Lol
1819  Other / Meta / Re: Newbie account got a username change ! First one in my eyes on: February 22, 2023, 12:56:17 AM
Yeah, I was wondering whether Theymos would see that as a valid reason to change his name, and the sole reason I figured he might have a chance was Theymos's respect for privacy.  I assume (but don't know for sure) that Theymos wouldn't just grant a name change for any newbie who requested one, else he'd be inundated with PMs asking for them.  And who knows, maybe his inbox is blowing up daily.

Still, it took me a PM, a thread dedicated to my request, and over 2 years in order to have my username change granted....so yeah.

If I were to guess, is that it was a great privacy risk for this dude (it was literally his first and last name lol), while with most people they probably just want a 'better' username because they picked something like bob35321.
1820  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading season? on: February 22, 2023, 12:44:36 AM
That could mean anything lol. But if you're talking about trading in general, there shouldn't be "seasons" — you should be able to make profit regardless of market condition, because that's what traders do — take advantage of both uptrends and downtrends.

^That's assuming that you're a capable trader, of course.
