I thought it's a (small) victory or a step towards normality, until I've read the last line: normal trading and also deposits still remain enabled... Undecided

If this kind of results keep coming, maybe the poll will need a couple more countries to be added. Roll Eyes
Interesting surprises for now. Nice prediction PawGo! Cool
1823  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for crypto exchange without KYC on: November 23, 2022, 01:28:43 PM
I'm looking to exchange between some few crypto currencies without KYC.
 
Anyone have any recommendations?

There is a topic you may want to visit: Current list of exchanges without KYC
But those are centralized exchanges.

My recommendation would be you consider using decentralized exchange, but that needs a bit more reading to understand what to do to not get scammed by other users.
I won't recommend a certain DEX, but a great list I can simply quote is:

Most decentralized: https://bisq.network/
More liquidity: https://localcryptos.com/
Also recommended: https://hodlhodl.com/

Based on your choose, which one exchange market do you use and how secure so far when saving assets there, I think Binance and Kucoin still on the top securing exchange for holding our Bitcoin assets, better purchase Bitcoin with with fund $60 than purchasing cold wallet but don't have assets yet.

People thought the same about FTX.. and some got the surprise of their lifetime. So no, this is not a valid option. Not your keys, not your coins.


Also a very curious observation. Which goes a little against my perspective. Especially if the person is familiar with ways to protect his BTC.

Thank you. Imho for the ones with a bit of technical background, hardware wallets are there mostly for convenience. Of course, for the rest they're a must.
1825  Economy / Exchanges / Re: An Attempt to Bring Down Coinbase? on: November 23, 2022, 11:27:21 AM
This, to me, is the same cunning action by CZ that finally killed FTX. It just so happened that, unlike FTX, Coinbase has the real numbers to show. Otherwise, it could have dealt them the same fatal impact.

That's correct. However, the blow on FTX was fatal because they had no reserves whatsoever, which seems not to be the case for Coinbase.

Such an irresponsible public statement from an influential person who has millions of followers could cause massive trust and confidence issues and, therefore, a huge and sudden exchange run.

Irresponsible? It's calculated and many could argue that such statements, which call for transparency are good. Such calls, that can make more people secure their funds in their own custody, are good for the users (as long as they do manage to withdraw).
But fake calls can ruin his "golden aura" sooner or later and he may lose credibility, followers, ... so he cannot do this for too many times, and I am sure he knows that. I would not be overly worried.
1826  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy a cold wallet or buy BTC on: November 23, 2022, 09:48:46 AM
At this time of Black Friday, there are usually some promotions, even interesting ones. And some cold wallet companies are running promotions.

Right now, in your opinion, it pays off to spend 50~60$ buying a cold wallet or buying BTC?

I will be somewhat advocating the other way than the previous posts.

Maybe you can spend an hour and learn how to make yourself a cold storage (or maybe paper wallet?) using nothing more than an USB stick that you'll boot your computer from now and then.
So you can spend 5-10$ on an USB stick if you don't have one already and you can buy bitcoin for the rest of the money.

However, if your technical skills are not good enough for this, then you may already have a nice amount in a hot wallet, and then hardware wallet is a must.
So it's really up to you, your skills, how much BTC you already have, ....

Of course, it's optimal to buy bitcoin when its price is low and buy hardware wallet when bitcoin price is high, no matter there are promotions now. A not too difficult to achieve doubling of bitcoin price will beat the best promotions you can get for hardware wallets.

1828  Economy / Speculation / Re: Cathie wood says 1 btc $1m by 2030 how possible? on: November 23, 2022, 09:15:29 AM
She is investing in bitcoin and crypto companies. Of course she trusts her investments will have high returns. Even more, this kind of declarations:
* may get others invest in bitcoin and crypto, hence making her earlier investments more profitable
* may get others invest in her company, meaning more money to work with and more profits for her

So, as usual, biased prediction, with other goals. It's not necessarily that she believes bitcoin will get to $1M. It's more that she is advertising bitcoin and herself.
1829  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Genesis' crypto lending (Genesis Global Capital) halts withdrawals on: November 23, 2022, 08:46:28 AM
Cathie Wood hehehee. I am not very confident on her investment decisions since the market began to reverse from bull to bear.

The name doesn't ring a bell. Still, she may not be alone in this, since I see Genesis Capital has "no plans to file bankruptcy imminently" and the bitcoin price seems to be recovering (probably meaning a bit more confidence).

I start thinking that some of the businesses with a little better background may be helped out or bought by those who have money. Pretty much standard operations during recession (and some may have had money prepared exactly because recession was/is at the horizon).
1830  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Bitcointalk users owe me BTC on: November 23, 2022, 08:38:09 AM
The act happened in 2018, not 2022.

I knew that when I supported the flags.

If OP creates accurate Flags and posts evidence in this topic, I'll Support the new Flags.

At least on this we're on the same page. Wink

It's important to keep the Flag system accurate, so it doesn't end up like the mess the rest of the Trust system is. See:
Creating or supporting a scammer flag is actively affirming a set of pretty clear fact-statements. If someone knowingly supports a flag containing incorrect fact-statements, then that is crystal-clear abuse, and I will seek to have such people removed from DT ASAP.

Imho the information was incompletely / poorly presented, but not incorrect / false. Most of the missing bits were 2-3 clicks away. However, let's wait for OP next move.
1831  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Bitcointalk users owe me BTC on: November 23, 2022, 08:24:35 AM
@NeuroticFish: can you reconsider your Support for these incorrect and unproven Flags?

OK, although I am not convinced you're right. If we go on this path, a scammer can easily just go away after the scam just to avoid getting flagged.
But since they're inactive, supporting the flags was more a psychological support for OP and his lost 0.25BTC than something really useful, so it doesn't matter much.

To make it clear: I'll remove my support now and I'll continue watching this topic.
1832  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-10-07] Visa partners with FTX on: November 23, 2022, 06:53:03 AM
https://decrypt.co/114367/visa-pulls-plug-ftx-partnership-will-wind-down-debit-cards

"Payments giant Visa is reportedly shuttering its partnership with FTX following the latter’s bankruptcy filing last week." .... So this was so convenient for Binance ... their biggest competition. It explains why Binance pulled their financial support on the 11th hour to sink their competition and to stop this partnership with VISA.  Roll Eyes

What do you think?

VISA move is not a surprise at all, especially as it was made very late.
And I think that I already said it: FTX was inflating too fast and started to look like a potential treat to Binance's supremacy. Maybe you remember that there were also topics on bitcointalk about FTX to get the "crown".
I would not be surprised if CZ knew pretty good that something is rotten there (inside info, spying on competition) and has done the move to protect his businesses' supremacy.
I guess that his math was that if he doesn't do this this now and the new bull run starts, probably FTX would have been getting the money to fill the gaps; maybe he didn't expect either to see a giant Ponzi there.

However, this "Visa partners with FTX" didn't age well Grin
1833  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Q4 2010-Q1 2011 wallets on: November 22, 2022, 07:26:53 PM
i need one more answer please, how d i find my btc adress that i know the amount inside and i know nearly the dates that i made the transactions, is there a filter to show in blocks, example created 2010 to 2012 wallets including 10btcs.
Anyone d share a link please ill be appreciated

One direction, as already said, would be the list of addresses with balance shared by LoyceV: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5254914.0 or http://addresses.loyce.club/

Another direction would be the blockchain-as-database thingy, I don't know how good it is, you can find it at https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/web3/bitcoin
There you can make queries like (output_value is also in satoshis)

Code:
SELECT *
FROM `transactions`
where output_value > 999999999 and output_value < 1010000000
and is_coinbase = 0
LIMIT 100;

and then look up the transactions, maybe on a block explorer. I am "newbie" with that platform too, I only had it bookmarked some time ago. Keep in mind that you may need some SQL knowledge and also the queries must be very quick. You can play with the block numbers to approximate the time range for your desired tx.
1834  Economy / Services / Re: Safe Hardware Wallet Deliveries Via Amazon Lockers on: November 22, 2022, 07:01:36 PM
I never thought of that attack vector. In the usa you can not open amazon lockers twice, but I could in theory still perform this attack. It would require me telling amazon customer service to give me a new locker code.

Maybe I've overthought it. Maybe it's not possible. Maybe it leads to you (and jail), maybe other find another crack/flaw.
The point was that a honest business would ... try to be honest (and there are still risks, as said, not necessarily from you, but may affect you), while a dishonest business could already have the recipe for scam, I don't know. A theoretical chance, no matter how small, probably exist. And.. we're back to the trust issue  Cheesy
However, good luck!
1835  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Affiliate signature campaign on: November 22, 2022, 06:53:51 PM
As long as there are campaigns with steady pay, only few desperate or too low rank would go for such a campaign.
This kind of advertising may be okay on social media and maybe for very few who start specific topics on gabling, maybe exactly at the casino they're advertising. So unless the user has special (both advertising and gambling) skills, only few lucky ones will get anything, I'm afraid.

And Royse does have a point: there is brand and there is conversion. I feel though that this model unfairly favors too much the casino, by paying only for the conversion.
1836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MY BITCOIN BUY INDICATORS on: November 22, 2022, 06:27:29 PM
So you will claim that it wasn't any under-20k price good for starting DCA? Interesting...
And how often you suggest buying while doing this DCA? Daily? Weekly? Or?

$16K, $18K, it doesn't make a difference.
While people are getting spooked out of Bitcoin (bad Halloween joke), they are wasting their money on Cyber Monday (!) discounts that could've been spent to buy Bitcoin at these very discount prices.

I mean admit it, we have pretty much the best discount on the entire internet right now. 80% off from $69K FTW!

Don't get me wrong, people are going to wish that they bought this dip in 2025. Mark my words. Feel free to link back to this post then. Smiley

I completely agree (and see, you are being quoted now too). But my point was not about the exact price, it was more about the "abrupt call for DCA" the OP has made. He cleared up later on that he was DCA-ing since under 21k, so we're good.
And yes, Bitcoin is certainly at Black Friday discount (and pretty much only those who bought in the previous market cycles - and didn't sell - could argue this).
1837  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger: get up to 30$ in free BTC. on: November 22, 2022, 06:22:58 PM
It seems to me that Ledger acted very unfairly in relation to its users, because they actually enabled someone to collect a large amount of data for a very small amount in BTC - and I would not rule out that Ledger, in addition to the sale of its devices, will also receive some kind of compensation because it indirectly promotes some crypto exchange.

I have to admit that I am not surprised that this company is going in this direction, because they have shown that protecting the privacy of their clients is not their first priority.

Not a surprise, indeed. On the other hand, it's arguable to say "very small amount of BTC", it's a 20% cashback.
Of course, the fact it's not worth the KYC is another story. We already know that. And iirc it's also not the first time Ledger does that (making its users send their KYC to third party).
1838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I Am So Done With Betting Until.... on: November 22, 2022, 12:58:14 PM
Argentina is a big disappointment, It's still hard to believe, I quit betting until I am able to forget this experience entirely.

"All in" is usually a mistake. No matter what, surprises can happen. What would you expect, after all?
If it was money you afford to lose, I think that as soon as you get other money you afford to lose you should bet again, even small amounts, to keep the games more exciting.
Of course, this is an idea; all is up to you. I really hope you've lost only money you did afford to lose and the amount was not that big...
1839  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 22, 2022, 10:37:01 AM
Bitcoin Rainbow Price Chart is dead.

It's dead for years. It's not the first time we go out of range.
On the other hand, we know, that all these charts rely on who is believing in them. How convenient to just add one more color whenever it suits you!
1840  Economy / Economics / Re: Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan accepts their loss on: November 22, 2022, 10:04:30 AM
I believe the main reason for this is that investors are not satisfied with bitcoin gains. "Crypto" became much more than holding bitcoin in a hardware wallet.

Those funds and even small investors prefer to buy exchange tokens like FTT and BNB. Or even worse, they put their bitcoins and tokens in an exchange wallet to get 4% APR.

Sometimes those exchange go bankrupt, and their bitcoins and crypto are gone for good, for such thing as little a 4% APR.

Imho it's not that they're not satisfied with BTC gains. It's that they were expected to show gains every month, every year. And there are years BTC price is going downwards. Even more, lately stocks and gold also didn't look good afaik. And then what else can get the numbers up? Shitcoins and derived businesses, yay! I guess that most of those investors failed to gasp that shitcoins are significantly more risky than bitcoin (I expect they were taught the stocks are risky and bitcoin is already off their chart).
So I see it just as a simple and direct result of the pressure on getting positive results continuously and the current economic state.
