I made the post because today is exactly the same day the event occurred in 2017. It seems you rushed to comment without reading the topic, where it stated 2017. Nobody makes posts they don't understand, not me.
You did not wrote it in the topic title, edited after we informed you about that or maybe I missed that point but it's not a big issue and I am not offending you. If you read my post, you will see I brought to you and newbies a point of news-re-cooking, that's what I intended to share.

Archive shows that you edited the topic title at some point, but when is not important. forget about it, sorry if it's my mistake Cheesy

Lol not offended in anyway, just needed to correct the point that I know it's a throw back post. I edited the contents of the thread multiple times, where I found errors before posting.

Wow, that's a really old story dude.

If I remember correctly, we just thought it was funny and it was covered by several crypto media.
But honestly after a few days or weeks., everyone forgot about this guy. Don't forget that 2017 was a crazy years for us, so it added more fun.
I had same thinking with my memory when I saw the photo and when I looked that a reference link, it is exactly in late 2017.

The dude did not read the story date and time and shared it instantly when he knew it from someone else. It is explainable as with newbies, they are always affected by news, cool news and bad news. When they have some years in the market, they will have more doubt about any news they read like "Is it re-cooked news?"

I made the post because today is exactly the same day the event occurred in 2017. It seems you rushed to comment without reading the topic, where it stated 2017. Nobody makes posts they don't understand, not me.

It's hillarious to have read about the Bitcoin sign guy and his heroic action at the DC when Hon Yellen was giving a talk to the congress. He, standing behind Yellen, raised a "buy bitcoin" inscribed placard. This appeared to the eyes of the world's most powerful people, though wasn't acceptable by all who attended the congress, as he was compared to appologize to his then employer, his simple act of bravery was loved by all the bitcoin community members. In his talk with coindesk he did it out of his love for the concept of bitcoin, he wasn't only buying bitcoin, he had a perception that bitcoin will take away, in future, some country dollars, which is already falling away like Zimbabwe dollars and venezuela bolivar.

The bitcoin guy whose name is undisclosed, got so famous in the bitcoin community and attended numerous interviews to explain what led to his action. According to coindesk he received about 7BTC for proving his act to the internet. Personally, I wasn't a bitcoiner at that time, but others who were in the market can shed more light about this event, everyone else can add what they think about this "Bitcoin sign guy".

1945  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of Farming. on: July 10, 2023, 11:06:14 AM
The thing is.... urban farming is too small to replace commercial farming. Yes, people can have green houses on the roof top of buildings, but it is only for subsistence farming. (You find this in rural Africa and some third world countries, where they only produce enough food for their own family and not for the rest of the population)

I think the future of farming is in the cultivation of food that needs less space, but with the same output. We now have farmers that are farming with insects as an alternative protein to meat (Cows/Sheep..) It takes a lot less space ...but it yields the same protein as meat.

Yeah the farming of termites as protein is growing gradually and the market for it in Africa is booming. However livestocks like cow and sheep are on high demand lots of people prefer to eat them regardless of the increase in price of such proteins. As for Vertical farming, a good number of households have a garden for farming some vegetables and roots for their own consumption, which also saves them money. Running such a farming system for a large amount of people or community can be very expensive to maintain in terms of maintenance.

If you still have your keys in intact you can import it on another wallet or download a new version of the wallet you are using. They will require you to create a fresh password, if you wish to. But if your keys are not with you anymore I don't know of any other means of doing recover password on wallets that doesn't require emails to create. Also don't quit yet, think deeply, you may remember your password again, unless you've not been longing into the wallet for a while.

Since yesterday
It's a bit better today than yesterday, it delayed a lot, tried multiple browsers and nothing worked. Came to confirm on meta if it's just me experiencing the lag, good to have found this thread. Other sites have such delays, although don't know if it's what shoppy use too, but my order there delayed so much on there. Hopefully it gets better and the forum moves faster like usual.
1948  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk and the fall of Twitter on: July 09, 2023, 05:07:33 PM
Thankfully, Threads is another exact microblogging alternative that is threatening Twitter, and if care is not taken and Musk doesn't apply wisdom, then the impact would be severe.
It's wrong to acknowledge thread as a treat to twitter because Elon limited daily views for Twitter users. That's the main reason Zuckerberg copied twitter and changed logo and name to thread. He didn't work for it, he stole another person's idea and intellectual property, it doesn't make sense. Most people will run back to twitter after a while of using thread. It'll just get the fame like truth social did when people started opting out of twitter because of the new update. It'll be hard for thread to beat twitter, not now.
1949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My personal savings now I will invest in Bitcoin on: July 09, 2023, 04:50:46 PM
I think Op should be focused on the recent economic crisis happening in his country and hold his money for tougher days. Bitcoin price may not be favourable to him at a time like this. Which could cause him more harm if he losses his savings. Patience is the key, when he is sure of his moves not becoming a hindrance to his financial economy in future, he can invest in bitcoin, with lesser fear or doubts in him.
1950  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are altcoins important? on: July 09, 2023, 04:37:13 PM
Altcoins have numerous loopholes for manipulating investors to fall victims of misfortunes. Only a few of altcoins prove to be reliable, yet not trusted by multiple traders. However, altcoins generate a good amount of money for the cryptocurrency market, that rarely benefits the market, meaning that it drives potential clients away from the market. Scam projects take these money away, that could have been invested on Bitcoin, ethereum or other strong projects to help the market grow. Investors who don't research carefully about any altcoin shilled to them, are victims of altcoin scam projects. Hence, altcoins can be considered important as it yields some funds to cryptocurrency market.
Altcoins have definitely fail to live up to their reason to be, instead of offering an alternative to bitcoin for the public at large, the only thing that altcoins offer is the ability to try to multiply your money, with terrible odds of this happening of course, so when we think about it only a handful of altcoins offer anything other than that while the rest are completely useless and only scare people away from this market as they give it a bad reputation.
It's obvious that people or investors in the cryptocurrency market wants quick profits that's why they can easily fall for these fresh tokens erupting in the cryptocurrency market. They think such projects would be like bitcoin that's why they throw in a whooping sum of money such that they'll see an incredible profit when the coin hits $1.

1952  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The relationship between educational qualification and quality of post. on: July 08, 2023, 08:31:38 PM
Do you think the level of academic qualifications and life experience that a member of forum has, has a direct influence on the quality of post that  he/she makes here on this forum?
Do you feel users who are known to be quality posters in various boards are individuals with high educational qualifications and vast experience.


Not really, since it will all matter on their experience on cryptocurrency since not all educated person who know crypto can contribute very well in this forum in terms of posting. There are college drop outs out there can share anything they learn thru the research they do so I guess educational attainment is not so important for staying relevant on every post they made in this forum.
If a person is self educated in cryptocurrency, their posts will be top notch regardless of their writing style, grammar etc. Readers respect the knowledge found in a piece of work over the grammatical errors that follows it. A good number of forum members think the best writer make quality contents in the forum, while so others may value the information shared in the content. A person with a PHD in English, who is not vast in cryptocurrency won't make any quality content in this forum, until he dedicates time to study bitcoin. Despite his writing skills and experience, he may not be able to contribute in the terms acceptable in the community. The education qualification should be centered on cryptocurrency, then it'll be a good attribute to quality posts.

This is the reason why we cannot discriminate people which didn't finish their college since overall with this it will all matter on the passion of people. If they are so interested with cryptocurrency for sure they are the one who can contribute more even if they didn't finish college than those people who just came in because they think its easy for them to learn it since they are college graduate and smart enough to know everything about crypto in short period of time.
A new subject takes lots of time to understand and same is required of bitcoin. A school certified professional cannot respond to bitcoin questions correctly if he doesn't read about bitcoin. In such scenario a person who has been studying about bitcoin will always be accepted to speak to a crowd of people about bitcoin other than a certified professor in a different field. Everyone listens to talks from individuals that have been working on the niche for a while. Their answers will be qualified as a genuine and quality information. Which is the benefits of learning from the qualified and educated person in the bitcoin market, regardless of their certifications.

Bitcoin whales took high risks, while studying price movement in the past

Don't be fooled by someone having the courage to risk $2 million like it was all they had, because such people were rich long before Bitcoin existed - so he only risked what he could have allowed himself to lose. The man in question has worked for Goldman Sachs for 25 years and obviously knew how to recognize the opportunity for a good profit, and such people do not fall under the influence of other people who might advise them that something is a bad investment.
This situation must be understood correctly so as not to misinterpret, because he is not a poor person from the village who then buys Bitcoin when he knows him, or a worker with a freelance salary that is only enough to buy food in one month, then they save and invest it into BTC Or selling the land then invested into Bitcoin over his courage, it is a wrong scenario in understanding the situation.
$ 2 million dollars in 2013 is not a little money, if converted to the dollars today the value must be greatly increased, especially the value of inflation needs to be added, I do not know that person, but I am sure that that person is not an ordinary person, and he is a rich person.
And yes, he must have spent money to buy Bitcoin without feeling afraid of losing his money.
In 2013 two million dollars is worth about 2.6million in 2023, that 2million dollars bought him 30,000 bitcoin worth 1950000000 USD in 2021; rate 65,000, remember 2013 recorded all time low in bitcoin price. If you look at the email you'll understand he knew it was an all time low yet he invested on bitcoin. He saw it as an opportunity to purchase and hold bitcoin, if it dropped half of what it used to sell in the previous year. That means he can take it as a great time to buy it very cheap, fully sure that the price will bounce back and hit another all time high. In today's experience, if bitcoin which sold for more than 65k per one dropped down to 20k, it's a great time to purchase bitcoin as it can hit that price and bypass it again.
1954  Other / Off-topic / Re: When learning stops. on: July 08, 2023, 04:34:40 PM
I appreciate OP's idea, it works like charm and very effective in building brain power. A student that doesn't perform well in school, can dropout of school and learn a new skill, writing, coding, or design etc. When, in a year, that student resumes school,  he will outperform his expectations and that of others about him. I agree with you, if a skill is hard for the brain to comprehend at all, the person can pause it, and practice what his brain is capable of learning. Once he begins to master his new skill, It'll create the self trust and confidence that he can achieve something and anything they focus on doing. Everybody is not the same, we all learn differently.

Investing on bitcoin, doesn't require much third party validations, if they don't understand how it works, their response can destabilize your moves and ideas. Below is a CEO that purchased 30,000 bitcoin at the rate of 65$ approximately 2million dollars worth of bitcoin in 2013. I read his mail closely and understood, he didn't care about what his associates take on his decision, after doing his research he didn't hesitate about investing into bitcoin, he was sure that bitcoin will give him a good return. I've read many members complaining about being discouraged by closed friends or associates, it signifies that the person carried a low quality research on bitcoin. I don't know how the responses of his associates ended up, but he took the step with or without them. If you wish to be like them act like them.

1957  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Is It Good For Local Crypto Forum To Include Other Interest To Attract More.. on: July 07, 2023, 11:31:22 AM
It will delay the growth of the site, because it won't be focusing on a specific content. Google love sites with similar kinds of contents, it shows the site is enriched with bitcoin knowledge. I understand, you'd want uninterested crypto folks to stumble upon cryptocurrency and pick interest. It's difficult to convert the entertainment traffics into bitcoin lovers, they'll remain completely passive about crypto. Although, few people can be converted, yet the site will suffer from distractions. The growth of your site is the first priority, so any feature that can dwindle the success of the site you're building should be removed.
1958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: July 07, 2023, 11:10:48 AM
Accepting oneself and acknowledging bad habits can be difficult for many people, when it comes to being referred to as a gambling addict, responses vary among gamblers. Some may feel offended and deny their addiction, while others accept it, the fear of being stereotyped exists, however , self-awareness and acceptance are crucial for the healing proces, seeking help from therapists or support groups can assist in overcoming addiction, while otgers may stereotype or judge, it is essential to prioritize personal well-being and surround oneself with supportive individuals, each gambler's journey is unique and depends on their awareness, willingness to seek help, and support network, emphasizing empathy and understanding is crucial in the recovery process.
self-awareness has always been close to the adult mindset, that's for sure.
every gambler has different characteristics, but trying to become an adult will be much better, especially if gambling is very important. in terms of being offended when referred to as a gambling addict maybe that person has a bad mindset because of very high emotional disturbances when he becomes a gambling addict.
I fully support your statement that adult awareness and mindset can control a gambling addict.
Ofcourse unpleasant responses is meant to come from the mouths of those struggling emotionally with gambling addiction. A person may not see it disturbing that they're addicted to gambling, especially when its enjoyable to them. Calling them a gambling addict can fuel the ego of such an individual. Contrary to that, a gambler that is suffering multiple losses due to addiction will never give a pleasant response when addressed as an addict. In terms of self awareness it'll take sincere efforts and responsibility to control addiction for a suffering addict.
1959  Other / Meta / Re: Keeping old and new Topics alive on: July 07, 2023, 12:52:52 AM
New threads will always come with attention. Bitcoin is not a dormant niche, new problems, information and difficulties needs to get solved in the bitcoin community. This led to the existence of abandoned threads. Every forum under a trending niche, must have such threads. If the problem has been solved why waste more time on it. Bitcointalk members create a good number of threads everyday, and everyone's attention goes mostly to the new problems, questions or information. Most of the quality old threads still exist in the forum, if anybody want's to read about it, they can decide to look it up and study enough responses under the thread.
1960  Economy / Economics / Re: I cannot go home if I don't make a lot of money now!! on: July 07, 2023, 12:35:24 AM
No hurry in life, the problem is not the money, it's mainly focused on the kind of attitude those eating the money exhibit. Many people acquire wealth, but the folks who eat the money often don't appreciate the pains and sweat the provider is sacrificing on daily basis. Building a generational wealth doesn't take few years, it consumes decades of genuine effort. Hence, love and patience is your best tool. Delay is only dangerous to those who fear it, those who understand the benefits of an unearned delay, can't get pressured. Everything falls in place within a period and everyone should participate in arranging and organizing a better future for their loved ones. If it has gotten to handling any kind of task to win bread for the family, please, OP, that's not the only alternative, especially if you wish to build a wealth that'll endure.
