Today, finding knowledge about bitcoin is no longer too difficult, most of the basic knowledge is everywhere on social platforms. As long as you feel the place is right for you, you can choose it, not necessarily in this forum nor necessarily in telegram groups.

But as everyone has warned, telegram groups are mostly scams rather than educating you, as a newbie it will be hard for you to tell the difference so it's best not to go looking for them. The forum is also very informative for beginners, you can start here. What I find most useful on the forum is that here we have a lot of very early market participants who have long experience in the market, so when you are here, in addition to the forum that provides you with knowledge, you will receive useful advice that other platforms do not provide.

Is it possible to invest 100$ in altcoin and turn to 7,000$? Have this ever happened to anyone on here? Is this even possible?.

That's a huge profit, I'm not sure if anyone here has been able to make such a big profit. But for early investors in bitcoin, this is entirely possible. Cryptocurrencies are famous for such huge investment returns, but not many and not everyone can be so lucky.
Such returns are still possible today when you invest in the right projects, but finding such projects is extremely difficult and I think no one would be willing to share it with you if they find.
1983  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How will you handle this case on: September 09, 2022, 08:59:42 AM
I did track the transaction and we have the Ethereum address that the fund was moved to, I told the suspected brother to show me his wallet address because I suspect him and he failed to, I have no proof to show the victim, for now he remains a suspect.
I think you should close your mouth and don't tell your brother who got scammed if the other brother was stole his money because you guys might a problem and it will make your relationship bad. So it's better to maintain a distance and don't really close with the brother who have a bad motive.

You should teach or at least give him guide about Bitcoin and wallet stuffs to learn, so this will make him understand if he must not asking other people to create a new wallet for him since each address have a private key which no one shouldn't know except the holder.

Not good to shut their mouth because it also mean that he's tolerating the other half who do bad deeds, maybe its good to talk about the issue so that it will be solve on correct argument. If they hide this the anger will just burst if the affected person knows who is the person who did bad to him.

Teach him how to safe keep important information is big thing to newbies so teach them again without taking anything will be much ideal action to do.

I also agree that in that case, we should keep our mouths shut. There's no need to make a big deal out of it because this will make the relationship worse for both of them and the real amount won't be that big. Just tell your brother (victim) to limit contact with the other and not to trust anyone when it comes to money.
Consider this as the first lesson about cryptocurrencies, the cryptocurrency market will have hundreds of times more pitfalls. Teach him everything he needs before continuing to use cryptocurrencies and don't forget to throw away the wallet whose private key has been exposed.
1984  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is going to a the bitcoin conference worth it? on: September 09, 2022, 08:22:23 AM
Hey so im still fairly new to the space, ive been investing for about 7 month now and thought about going to a conference. im not to social of a person but i feel like it would be a good opportunity to just be around the environment. Has anyone been to one? and do you think its a valuable experience?
It all depends on you on how you want to learn about cryptocurrency and the time you can spare for this purpose. As for me, the best way to learn cryptocurrency is online, you can read as many as possible articles and blogs about cryptocurrencies online and also watch some useful videos about the practicals.

These will teach you the in-debt of the subject matter in the comfort of your home better than going for conferences that might be for a particular topic, with questions and answers only.

I am not saying it is bad to go to conferences, but in my view, conferences should be for the informed people that want to associate mainly. The dedicated learning/training is on the internet, which includes webinars that can perfectly replace the conference.

Most of us today tend to learn online because they provide us with quite complete knowledge. But it won't be bad if we take a little time to attend bitcoin conferences because we can meet, exchange, connect with many investors, people share knowledge together, knowledge is very vast sometimes things we would never find on the internet without someone to guide us.
But please make sure that the conference is held for the purpose of exchanging, sharing and connecting with each other and not for the purpose of marketing altcoin projects. We should walk away or reject it immediately if we discover it, it just wastes our time.
1985  Other / Off-topic / Re: Gratitude for cryptocurrency on: September 08, 2022, 04:02:39 AM
Cryptocurrencies themselves have never been regarded as a safe market, so how can it be demonstrated that it will be able to guarantee our safety if we invest in this market? I know bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are creating space for all of us here, money making opportunities, opportunities to get rich, things the outside can't give us but don't exaggerate it too much. Not participating here can also become millionaire, remember that only a few. Cryptocurrencies create opportunities for us and it's up to us whether we adopt or not, many people who don't need crypto can still be successful.
1986  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't ever quit your job to trade crypto. on: September 08, 2022, 03:46:54 AM
If you are good in trading and you know you can be trading and making profit then why do you have to stress yourself and be workings, most companies are just using their staffs and at the end they will just pay small money, but as a trader you can be making your cool money from the comfort of your house, but before you can rely on trading for survival you halve to be a professional first.

No matter how good you are at trading, there will be times of loss and you should know that the market is very unpredictable, we cannot be sure what this market will be like in the future.
Cryptocurrency can be a place where you can make a lot of money but it is a nascent market compared to forex or stocks so the risks are huge, it may be broken or completely banned by the government where you live...
Outside work sometimes it only gives you a meager salary but it is steady and sure. Smart people always find ways to diversify sources of income, and should not depend on just one source because life is always full of surprises, always have a plan B for the future.

Scammer get scammed


This remind me of what happened in compound last two months or there about. A boy in my compound was drinking in Ogogoro or Ekaikai (gin) and he met a young guy and this my neighbor approached him to learned learn how to scam people and the boy told him he has to buy some devices to kick start the project. so this my neighbor took the boy to a phone shop (store) and bought a new device for the boy. The following day, early morning my neighbor went to work. And the boy who want to teach my neighbor how to scam packed everything in house and ran away, when my neighbor came from work his house empty. And that was the time he become to realized that he has been scammed and he burst into cry. he was crying and saying that he has been scammed then we asked him how did it happened? and he started narrating what conspired (brought) both of them together. After his narration everyone who heard the story left him behind to face his dilemma. That became the saying of the op topic.
Perhaps, it was a common story and it was a very usual thing to happen to realize that we just got scammed too late.
 - Don't easily trust strangers
 - stop being greedy
 - think several times before we decide

However, people even forget all of these things, especially when hearing about money and scammers use this technique to trick greedy people. It was really sorry but it was a need for them also to realize their wrongdoings. 

If you really want to be safe, don't talk too much to strangers, especially if they send you random messages from the Internet. It is best to ignore them in the first place so that our greed will not rise and we won't have to do anything stupid in the future.
Since there is always a law of cause and effect that exists, never think of fooling someone to get rich, because the retribution will soon come to us after a while.
Make money yourself with your ability, just try your best, all efforts will be rewarded.
1988  Other / Archival / Re: Entrepreneurship or Office job? on: September 07, 2022, 08:35:56 AM
I think starting with an office job to help generate money is a good start. As time go by their will be money that is been saved from the office job to start up business.  Starting a business is not easy for some people,  I think some people needs to work first to gather money for the of the business.

To start a business smoothly besides money, we need experience.
This is the best way to start, in addition to starting an office job to earn money and accumulate for future dreams, going to work will help us accumulate experience and practical experience.
My advice to people looking to start a business is to always look for a job for a few years before starting your own company. What we learn in school is not the same as what we face in real life, so going to work is the best springboard to start a business.
1989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 05, 2022, 07:30:16 PM
What a crazy weekend it was with the win from Frankfurt against Leipzig and the draw from Bayern Munich about Union Berlin.
This week they all can show there skills in the Champions League and specialy Leipzig and Leverkusen should be show them .
Maybe its possible that we will see a coach changing after this week if they losing again and the weekend.
I don't know what happened to Leipzig and Bayern Munich, but they played like they were against a strong club from the EPL or Serie A, LOL. We can still forgive the bad results obtained by Bayern Munich, because they have tried very hard to create other goals. They made 33 attempted shots in that match and had 20 shots on goal. In contrast to Leipzig's poor results, they seemed to dominate the game, but they didn't even make a single shot on goal. This Leipzig match looks like a fixed match Roll Eyes

This is still rather early in the season, so it's important not to forget that little hiccups can happen even now, even if better things are just around the corner. It is not that I am saying these things are to be expected, but I have the feeling that some of the players are still rusty after all this time. However, that is obviously not an excuse in any way. As far as the bigger teams are concerned, there should be no excuse why they cannot win against the smaller teams. It is evident that these results were unexpected. However, I am certain that they will be able to win the upcoming matches and perform better as a whole in the upcoming weeks.
1990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: September 05, 2022, 07:00:52 PM
There was a time when Tony Ferguson was a great fighter, but now he is not the same fighter he used to be. He got rocked in some fights. But it is true that he possessed a great chin. No matter how good a fighter is, if he does not have a strong chin, he will not be able to go so far in his career. There was something really special about Tony Ferguson's chin. The only problem was that he got severely beaten in some of the fights. The problem is that he will never be able to get his opponents because he has such high standards that if he gets easier opponents there will not be much revenue for the UFC as a result. I agree with you and I also think that he will end up just like Donald cowboy Cerrone in the end Tongue.

Tony Ferguson is a cat man with 9 lives Cheesy I think they should give Ngannou as a next Ferguson opponent. Tony will sign the contract anyway since he has accepted Li, and he is from weight division Cheesy
But what UFC actually do, is creating Donald Cerrone out of Tony Ferguson. Remember how Donald could not find an good and easy fight to retire, and fight everyone? Same will happen to Tony. They started to give him opponents from bottom of the top, but they will beat good old Tony anyway.
1991  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you thing about Terra team? on: September 05, 2022, 06:13:38 AM
Terra LUNA traumatized everyone who invested in LUNA during this incident. because LUNA is already in the top ten it is easy for the community to believe in this coin, but this unexpected incident attacked LUNA which consumed the entire LUNA project. but it can't be an easy mistake to take advantage of, the LUNA terra team should be responsible for all the losses.

This incident is just a surprise for us and the market but not a surprise the terra team. I firmly believe that this problem is intentionally done by people inside the project, not by outsiders. It can be seen that when the crash happened, the terra team took no action and as soon as the crash was complete they quickly planned to create a new coin to divert attention. After creating Lunac, they chose to be silent and let things pass without any action, if not Dokwon is the mastermind why hide in Singapore?
1992  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some say Bitcoin is dead but Bitcoin is not dead on: September 05, 2022, 06:03:01 AM
How could Bitcoin be dead at $20,000 when just a little more than a decade ago it was worth less than a cent? That's basic math. That's common sense. Apart from that, Bitcoin's security is very much high with the current hashrate reaching 256,000,000,000,000,000,000 EH/s.

Some people are just too fearful to give too much importance to otherwise baseless claims and declarations of critics and bitter Bitcoin oppositions. Bitcoin has been pronounced dead many times and Bitcoin is still here today.

Just because Bitcoin is hitting its low in this bear season doesn't mean it's dead. Remember that Bitcoin's low today was Bitcoin's ATH before.

This year bitcoin died at $20k and in the future when bitcoin hits $200k ATH and drops to $100k we will continue to hear news that bitcoin is dead at $100k. LOL

They are probably jealous of bitcoin's rapid growth and they have no way to stop the growth of bitcoin other than finding a way to smear the image of bitcoin in the eyes of the public. But no matter if they take more action like this or even they introduce harsher policies they will never kill bitcoin.
1993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: That's why I really like bitcoin :) on: September 05, 2022, 05:44:07 AM
Bitcoin is like a bank that’s in no way closed, this currency is moving and available 24/7. Further people and places are starting to accept it, from coffee shops to real estate possessors, this is a currency gaining traction and seems to be gaining worldwide acceptance.
I will not say that Bitcoin is like a bank, in which aspect?
The bank is centralized and Bitcoin is not. The bank is only open during working time (except for some of its features that can be accessed 24/7, but not all aspects can.), and Bitcoin can be accessed 24/7. The bank needs more regulation and Bitcoin is not.

In a way, bitcoin is also a bank, our own bank. We can keep and manage our assets on our own, without the need for a third party to manage them, and without having to worry about our assets being stolen or frozen by someone.


But, BItcoin has more than banks can do, Bitcoin is not only a currency but also an asset for high worth investment.

Bitcoin is obviously better than the traditional bank, but sometimes we still need the existence of the bank, can not eliminate the bank completely. When you need money or capital to cover emergency situations, bitcoin will not help you in this situation, but with the bank it can. They are willing to help you with certain conditions, although they do not help us for free but in this case the bank is necessary.
1994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: September 04, 2022, 04:32:31 PM
^^^ Anyway, we will get a good idea about their revenue share, when the ICC conducts the third round of media rights bidding. India is done for now, and they received $3.04 billion. US, UK and Australia will go next (probably by the end of this year), and this will be followed by rest of the world. My guess is $0.5 to $1.0 billion from the remaining regions.
It is very difficult to measure market value of sports broadcasting in Pakistan. The only metric that I have with me is the figure of $24 million, which was paid by A Sports and PTV Sports for the PSL (two year deal, covering 2022-23). That comes to around $12 million per year. On the other hand the IPL rights were sold for around $1.2 billion per year, which is 100 times higher.
That said, back in 2020, the PCB managed to sell a three-year rights package for international and domestic (excluding PSL) matches for $200 million to PTV Sports (the previous deal with SONY, for 2015-20 was worth just $60 million or $12 million per year).
Well PCB or no other board is close to BCCI in terms of generating revenue and thats what make BCCI strongest board in the world and has special powers in ICC. BCCI generates revenue that is more then sum of all boards. I dont think its fair to compare what PCB is generating with BCCI,
No one is comparing or particularly talking about PCB vs BCCI per se. These sorts of comparisons come only when the discussion is concentrated around the cricketing financial ecosystem, so please don't mind and this specific discussion is about recent ICC cricketing rights.
I do not expect the money to be very high. At least nowhere close to 4 billion. I don't expect this to cross 1 billion dollars.
It might increase depending on the current situation, the current economic situation of the world to be exact. Everything is more costly now.


Now I'm expecting some noise from the BCCI if the rest of the world media rights manages to collect just around $0.5 Billion, maybe some sort of additional compensation or some other demands from the BCCI.

Well by looking at PSL's numbers, I guess it gives us a fair idea about how much revenue the ICC tournament could generate from Pakistan.
No one is going to be able to generate money for ICC like India. And honestly now one is even going to be able to come close to India in terms of revenue.
PSL, PCL, and BPL can not even generate the revenue that India alone can generate. And India is going to flex about that for sure.
As per as I think it is also not going to be very surprised if they even try to take a little advantage of that as well.
1995  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New to it. on: September 04, 2022, 03:15:12 AM
Simple question where do I start with Bitcoins?

The amazing thing about Bitcoins is that it’s a currency, or a medium of exchange, it can be exchanged for goods and services, and it has an exchange rate, like any other currency.
So, "to start" with Bitcoin , you'll want to either buy some bitcoins, or, more likely, accept Bitcoin as a form of payment for your goods and/or services.

This topic has some suggestions on how to earn bitcoins: [General] How to earn Bitcoins
The rest is up to you and depends on your abilities and what you're good at.



There is no most efficient and easiest way to get started other than buying yourself some bitcoin and making a few small buys to get the most authentic bitcoin experience and feel.

The first, OP should learn bitcoin wallet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631151.0 , and how to start buying bitcoin, with trading operations I think we should watch the video to have a realistic view rather than read the tutorial. I think you should go to youtube, there will be specific and detailed videos step by step to starting buying bitcoin. In addition to forums, youtube is a knowledge base for what you need.
1996  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto business isn't for everyone on: September 04, 2022, 02:27:34 AM


Conclusion
Crypto business is meant only for patient people with strong heart who are not too greedy and are always ready to learn.

Not only the crypto business, but when entering the world of business and trading, we always need these things to get started. As a business, there must be risks, so you must have a strong mind to be ready to accept all challenges. Business will not always be as smooth and smooth as we imagine, sometimes there will be obstacles or there will be a little delay so patience is an indispensable virtue. The market is always changing and evolving quickly, if you don't want to be eliminated or left behind, don't stop learning, even if you are already a successful person if you stop learning new things, you can still be overtaken by people.
1997  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Awareness of scam on social media will help reduce scam on: September 04, 2022, 02:10:19 AM
Scammers are very smart on how to get peoples attentions and they are also smart in inventing new strategies that can be so real to easily convince people . My worries is about beginners who are coming up, and if you make research most beginners in crytocurrency and on social media were once a victim to scammers and till date some beginners still fall for scammers.

To me,  the social media would have been the easiest way to fight against scam, to make beginners get aware "the strangers  you meet is at own risk ". This can always be in the mind when one encounter a stranger who want to offer free money or do business, one will have to think how real can it be.

Beginners don't get awareness of scam on social media,  some mostly get aware of scam with personal experience.
I disagree, social media is one of the easiest platform to get scammed. Social media is a virtual community, you can be anybody you desire. Most times what you see on the profile isn't real. I think if people just use their common sense they would be able to detect the scams from the go.

Social media is possibly the most virtual space we have, because it's not real, thus becoming a favorite place for criminals to run rampant. That social network is the information channel that helps the government and people spread anti-fraud news the fastest.

Today, most national governments, major organizations around the world, as well as local police departments have different social media outlets. New news and announcements are always broadcast on the first social network to help people update the fastest information.
1998  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Prince Filip of Serbia encourages the inclusion of Bitcoin education in schools. on: September 03, 2022, 02:47:38 PM
I completely agree with the idea of bitcoin education inclusion in schools because one of the biggest limitations of btc is a lack of knowledge and awareness, lots of folks are not into btc because they don't understand it, they feel it is a bit complicated to learn and understand. If btc is being thought in school at an early stage, it will somehow reduce that limitation and increase awareness about btc and its importance.
Bitcoin is a computer technology, if the students doesn't curious and interested with computer, then I will expect the teacher need to try harder in order to make the whole students interested and will pass the exam. I think a basic computer education like excel, word, powerpoint, and design are enough for average Joe. Bitcoin education is appropriate in University since they're more matured and have better understanding.

As you said bitcoin is computer technology, while knowledge about information technology is introduced quite early from elementary school, so why wait until the children go to university to start teaching them? I think bitcoin should be included in the high school curriculum, then they already have enough basic knowledge of the technology and they can continue to explore a more advanced technology. I prefer bitcoin tutorials that will focus on technology rather than investment. Investment should be introduced after they start thinking about finance.
1999  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Bitcoin and Blockchain inventor Satoshi can prove his identity ? on: September 03, 2022, 02:32:49 PM
There is a huge demand, many people want to know, who is Satoshi ?  There are many people were thought to be Satoshi and few others are claiming to be Satoshi. Some of them are scamming investors impersonating Satoshi Nakamoto.

I think it is time for Satoshi to prove his identity and end the chapter 'hunt for Satoshi Nakamoto.'




If you are Satoshi and you know that people are hunting you, your presence endangers not only yourself, but also those around you. So do you want to continue to let people know who you are?

We have not been able to determine if he is alive or dead but if he is alive and has decided to remain anonymous he has a reason and if he shows up now I am sure things will be messed up and interrupt his life. Revealing his identity will not benefit him.

I don't see anyone looking for him, other than the police and the government, he should continue to remain anonymous it will be good for him as well as good for us.
2000  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: September 02, 2022, 11:39:31 AM
Sancho has started well for United this season. He was their key man once again - and he seems to be combining well with Rashford. Ten Hag is right in starting without Ronaldo - they look much more compact and balanced without him.

Leicester has a single point after 5 games - Rodgers will start feeling the pressure soon.

Sancho may be playing well. But Ten Hag should not rely on his performance alone. Ronaldo probably has a conflict with Ten Hag. Ten Hag doesn't want to keep talented and experienced players like Ronaldo in the squad. If Ten Hag could use Ronaldo properly I'm sure Manchester United's attacking lineup would be stronger. However, midfielders are a bit difficult to adapt to Ronaldo. Because Ronaldo's nature is stubborn. He doesn't like to assist. Ronaldo should avoid these traits.
