No one can advise you in these circumstances. You are the one who can decide. The market is quite volatile right now and it's quite impossible to predict right now. A lot of FUD coming outs at the moment and marketing going down day by day. Bitcoin was stable to 30K zone for a few days now playing around 20K zone. We won't able to accumulate the exact bottom always, you have to be lucky enough for that. If I had enough money now, I would accumulate at the current price. Because it seems to me a good zone to buy even not the bottom.

Who cares to whom really? Even if it's in real life. Everyone is selfish and greedy when it comes to money. And cryptocurrency is digital money for us. Someone losing on the other hand someone gaining. Everyone thinks about their own profits by the way. So yes, money uncovering our evil sides, just not crypto. A human can do anything for money, not only for crypto.

I like the idea, this should prevent somehow but not sure if this is possible. Because there will be a couple of issues when implementing something to prevent bumps for lock topics.

1. Disable the bump option permanently for the locked topic. This means if a user locks a topic for a one-time bump option will be disabled forever. But still, the user can bump using a new reply.

2. If disable bump the topic even make a new reply for a locked topic then we will have another issue. Locked means this topic shouldn't discuss longer. But maybe sometimes we need to unlock the topic for some reason. So in case of that, we will lose the right to bump the topic.

Although the idea is good, I don't think the admin is going to take any action. That's why DT Network exists on the forum to prevent or tag scammers.

Asking for documentation or a payment slip that was deposited in 2013 is a stupid attempt. At that time weren't many formalities to buy Bitcoin and I don't think someone will save any kind of slip. They could do some other kind of verification related to the account. Don't give up bro. Start a fight with them and ask clearly what they need. Start writing their social media and try to find an exchange owner. If everything fails then do a press release. I think they won't ruin their reputation for 7 BTC anyway.

And take a lesson from here, don't store your assets on Centralized exchanges or wallets. User non-custodial wallets or hardware wallets to secure your funds for the future.

The answer is quite simple, one can predict perfectly the current market situation. You may notice when the bear market comes, many haters criticize Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. It's just a try to create a FUD and a little try to prove the truth. But what happens always? We see bull again and a lot of good news comes together. This is crypto and pump dump always will exist. That's the reason actually why people live crypto. We can't ignore the truth.

No worries if the government ban crypto, use decentralized exchange and wallet to secure your funds and privacy. My government does not allow trading or holding crypto. But still, we survive. Using p2p or black market when we need to make it cash. So you have to do the same. Binance helps us with that for the p2p trade. Otherwise, we have no choice except to black-market though there is a risk of getting scamms.

It's possible also Bitcoin's current movement is unpredictable. I have seen on a Telegram group where people saying someone from NASDAQ predicts Bitcoin's bottom will be $13K. Although I don't believe it, but it's possible. Because everything is possible in crypto. But my personal opinion is the bottom would be $15K for Bitcoin and we can expect corrections from that points.

Have you exchanged any DMs on the forum? How have you made the deal and sent the funds? Post it here if have forum chat history and transaction id, so we might take a look at that. Based on current evidence hard to tag though I am assuming it was a scam. Why should you trust random users without good trading history? Why you hadn't used the escrow service? A lot of scammers around the forum, just be careful and learn from the mistakes.

This isn't work station that we should regret when workers leave the forum. Forum contributors don't care about the bounty campaigns nor leave the forum for bounty spam. We can't prevent creating alts even implementing KYC verification and IP restrictions. Farmers know very well how to skip restrictions.

This is the hard time for traders, not for HODLERS. Because traders lost funds due to fall price, but hodlers just hodling. Yea, I am one of them. Because when I buy something the whole market starts to dump and dump more. So I moved my assets to Ledger Nano, which means I am not gonna sale my assets before making a handsome profit. And yea, this is the time to accumulate some sats or alts. We don't know where is the bottom or ever we will see it or not.

Decentralization and regulation are conflicts with each other. Bitcoin is true Decentralization and it won't control by anyone. If the government wants to regulate, it may regulate centralized exchanges and wallets. This is something that should consider as crypto regulations. Otherwise, I don't see how the government will control non-custodial wallet transactions. It's not possible to find the address owner from the non-custodial wallet.

Trading volume is a fact when you are choosing an altcoin for trading. But it doesn't indicate you should be involved with the trade. If there is no trading volume that means no one buying or selling, it's a kind of dead token. If the trading volume is high due to selling pressure like what happened to Luna, then it's highly risky. If the candle is green and trading volume is high that means you might consider trading. But it doesn't mean you can make a profit, the price would dump at any time. It's crypto and always risky.

Projects come here to promote their project with worthless tokens, and hunters are here to earn these tokens. But the actual story is different, project come for free marketing and increase social media activity. Hunters buy social media followers and spam around. So it's become very common things to not pay hunters or the project itself is a scam. So yes, the whole bounty section is just full of spam. I don't visit that section if no urgency.

The title is quite different from your post. Expressing an opinion shouldn't get a red tag if your opinion is constructive. But if your opinion or expression supports scammers or somehow abuses the forum trust system then you may get a tag. In your case seems you tried to manipulate the flag system by a giveaway. And definitely, this is an abuse of the trust system. Everyone is free to oppose or support. But it should be free of cost, not paid anyway.

You know bro what were the funniest things? Let's point you something.
1. You didn't read my first reply, I asked him a few questions, and the OP hasn't given a proper answer.
2. You know very well trending isn't possible without KYC but still, you paid him, it's quite ridiculous, to be honest.
3. You haven't used any escrow service from the forum.

This is funny for me, I am a Pinksale verified marketing partner and I am in the owner group as well. I know very well it's impossible to trend presale without KYC. Wondering how had you believed them?

Anyway, I tagged the OP, because he is a scammer. Everyone knows it's not a possible trend without KYC hence he took the payment and refused to refund.

That's true they have required KYC verification. It's most likely due to managing the network. Because for example, Dextools do not accept ads without KYC verification, dextools don't want to give easy access to scammers (according to them). But there is a huge demand for dextools ads, so coinzila won't exclude such ad sites from where huge revenue will be generated. I am also against KYC, but nowadays it's hard to avoid for good service. As an advertiser, you have to make sure where your ads should visible. Just not who don't ask for KYC but have no huge network.

I had invited the mixsafer owner on this thread after I replied here. He told me the site has been shut down and all social media has been deleted. Likely he will not continue and will delete Telegram as well. I owed some funds for design to him, but he paid before deleting the telegram. So I can say everything has been stopped by the owner from today. According to him, the scam allegation is fake, however, I didn't investigate. Likely this allegation is from the Twitter hacker, who knows the truth.

The news is rolling out for a few days among news channels. It was expected though but wasn't expected that will happen very soon. However this is the right decision, users should have the freedom whether they want to hold assets on a PayPal account or move others' wallets. Bitcoin is decentralized and shouldn't limit to an internal wallet system. Definitely, this is good news for PayPal Bitcoin users.

I think this is somehow similar to blockchain. I haven't used them nor have any intentions to use them. If not fully open-source whether they create a seed or not still I won't use it since there are more trusted wallets that exist. I am not saying they aren't legit, but I am expressing my thoughts. I have been using a hardware wallet which is safer than any other wallet software or extension. Just leave that and see the feedback those have been using.

I am not sure how they were scammed or when. Mixsafer was connected with me through Telegram. I had designed his announcement thread and press release for his mixer. Still, he is connected with me on Telegram. According to him Twitter account was hacked and unable to recover. So he creates a new one. According to him, the forum account is still under control. I am not aware of a scam nor investigate.

Recently he is working to redesign the website as far as I know. I would make sure about the forum account is either compromised or not by simply asking on Telegram.
