The first option I think of is the extra security option. There are a lot of hacked and sold accounts which later became a problem in this forum. Authenticator might be a good choice to be a security feature to be adopted in this forum.

Then from that, no newbies and jr members can access the bounty board to join and promote the altcoin project. Access will be unlocked once they rank up to a member or a higher rank. That's the limit that will probably have a big impact because it will encourage them improving the quality of posting. And one more thing, night mode would probably be a nice feature for user option.

I believe that if your assets worth is at least 10-15x than the cheapest mass produce hardware wallet (Trezor/Ledger) it would be better to buy and have one for the sake of peace of mind. I'm not saying that paper wallet such as electrum is bad actually it's good! but hardware wallet provide way better security.
Yes, I've considered buying it too. But for the time being I still feel comfortable and safe to store it in electrum which I have dedicated as my long term storage wallet.

For the current price I think Trezor is still quite affordable for me, around $100-$300 in various online stores. So it might be good to have it soon after this. Security is a major issue to consider for anyone looking to invest in the long term, so as you said above, it will make bitcoin or crypto owners feel safe.

Fresh funds obtained from the sale of broadcasting rights and new sponsors can boost the club income, Barcelona dares to move to bring new players to Camp Nou. Barcelona's credibility has returned along with the income earned from both. Even so, Barcelona's transfer efforts have an additional level of difficulty because the economic situation is not yet fully stable. Barcelona is very lucky despite being hit by the economic crisis, because Barcelona still has charm and most of the players want to join Barcelona.
The club's big name, the club's great achievements, style of play and several other things make a number of players choose Barcelona even though their financial condition has not recovered. Barcelona still have a lot of debt, they can't pay it off in a short time but the team is optimistic that they can still do their best to keep fighting for the title.

These are some of the things that I think keep Barcelona still ahead of other teams, they are a historic team and I'm sure they won't let the club suffer without another title. This season, I will support them after some new players have been brought in, it will be a good thing for them.

Salah satu kampanye jangkan panjang yang dikelola Hhampuz FreeBitco.in Signature Campaign | Sr./Hero/Legendary | kembali OPEN, kali ini Hhampuz mencari satu peserta Hero/Legendary.
Campaign Legend ini gan namanya. LOL
Tapi karena slot-nya terbatas saat dibuka maka persaingan pasti bakalan ketat. Ane perhatikan setiap buka slot itu hanya satu, tetapi menurut ane peluang pengguna SFI untuk masuk ke campaign ini sangat tinggi mengingat 7/14 slot untuk rank Hero-Legendary adalah pengguna SFI. Jika kali ini Hhampuz juga memilih pengguna SFI untuk mengisi slot yang tersedia, berarti 8/14 slot di isi oleh pengguna SFI.

Semoga saja beruntung bagi yang sudah mendaftar.

I don't know if it's because the quality of my posts is getting worse or maybe I don't run into him very often on the forum when posting, so there's a gap between April to July for 1 merit.

Thanks @ddmrddmr for helping me towards 10k

Keeping your cryptocurrency investments safe is extremely important today, and thanks to the many established organizations that have provided crypto enthusiasts with secure storage options via hardware wallets.
hardware wallets add an extra layer of security to protect your cryptocurrencies from unwanted incidents especially hacking.
it may be in an uncertain bear market situation, and the purpose of a hard wallet is to keep its holdings for a long and safe period of time and also wait until the market returns to bullish.
Good security reasons are one of the reasons why hardware wallets are becoming the choice of cryptocurrency users. Moreover, the increase in bitcoin users (traders, investors) during last year's bull market is the reason why there is an increase in demand for hardware wallets. Looking back at how bad it is to store assets on a centralized exchange should also be a holder's consideration to owning a hardware wallet, so those are some of the reasons that support the increasing demand for these wallet.

Unfortunately I don't have any hardware wallets so far, but still think it's safe to store some of my bitcoins on electrum not connected to the internet. I might have it soon, but maybe not right now.

Koulibaly was surely a big name in Napoli, and he was giving his best but now after he is realizing here he can't achieve any better thing in near future so going for better is his right even with this transfer now Napoli is on backfoot, but good thing happen, and they respect players feelings.

Napoli has good amount, and now they can bring some good player as well if they want to go in next season for better results like they achieve in last season but sadly at the end they were down and out with few injuries and having serious choke which hurt them after very aggressive start of the season most chances now they will fight hard for their top four spot because competition is tough.
This season I believe Napoli will not be as good as the previous season because their strength has decreased. Obviously some players like Koulibaly were very supportive of Napoli's strength last season, but he is no longer available now.

Juventus, Milan and Inter still convinced me enough for this season, but it looks like Milan will lose the title after the Juventus squad looks better because of Pogba and Di Maria. I'm sure Milan will fight to defend the title, but it looks like it will be difficult to stop Juventus who are developing at the moment with a number of new players.

I think that the chances of Barcelona to win the Champions League will not change whether they have Lewandowski or not. But the squard of Barcelona is now very good, young eminent players with the prospect of development, here Barcelona deserves a lot of credit, they managed to keep a strong squad of players, so there are chances to compete for the championship in La Liga. I think it’s not worth talking about the Champions League, for this you need a squad much stronger.
I think the chance is still there even though it's actually only small. For the Champions League, in my opinion, Barcelona is still not fully recovered to be favorites to reach the final or even win the title. The squad they have now is good where they are also still supported by a number of experienced players, but it is true that their strength is still not convincing enough compared to Premier League teams like Liverpool and Manchester City. But I'm curious about Barcelona this season after successfully recruiting Kessie and Christensen.

Barcelona will be my favorite to win La Liga this season even though Real Madrid are still the reigning champions. Of course the good things about Barcelona's improvement are my reasons, also because Xavi is coaching.

yes it is true, although difficult but not impossible Napoli will be able to find a replacement for Koulibaly. retaining a player who no longer wants to play for the team is not a good thing. now both I think are profitable, Napoli who have benefited from this transfer and Koulibaly who has found a better team with the possibility of increasing his career with Chelsea in the Premier League.
Both parties have benefited from Koulibaly's transfer value, but finding a suitable replacement is not an easy matter. Quality players in the market could cost more than Koulibaly and if Napoli really want him then they might have to shell out some extra cash to freshen up his team. Napoli's next move is to compete with Roma to convince Dybala to join the team in the near future. While Koulibaly will undergo a medical at Chelsea, it is a good decision for the player.

Investing $100? I don't see any profit from it actually, we can never expect that amount it grows into $150 or $200 and this is the reason why. I am supposed to say to make use of this amount to explore the market, adding more funds could be next if we are sure that we can handle the stress already.
Back in 2020, $100 in March 2020 could buy 0.02 btc then. In March 2021, $100 will be $1,200, and in March 2022 $100 will be $800. Then how can you not imagine the potential profits that could be made in the years to come with that $100 if bitcoin hit ATH again or went up to $40K or $50K?

People don't have to be too greedy about investing, they just do it for whatever they can afford to lose. $100 could become $200 if the bitcoin price doubled from now and that is a possibility that can still be believed to be achieved this year and years to come.
2051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 14, 2022, 04:30:57 PM
Exactly. I don't understand why don't maintain it to Napoli, it was a bad mistake to sold it to another team.

It won't be easy to replace him with another player, and they risk so much for the next season. But everyone knows De Laurentis, every 3-4 years he sell every of his best players for replace them with other one in way to

earn as much as possible.
The desire of the player, the need for money and several other things may have been considered by Napoli before they sold him to Chelsea. I would never be surprised how Napoli couldn't keep the player, and so far such transfers have been very common.

I agree that it is not easy for Napoli to find a commensurate replacement for Koulibaly who he sold to Chelsea. That's what's happening now, but I believe that sooner or later Napoli will get it. If you are both a Napoli fan then I hope you are patient with it.  Grin
2052  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Was the coupling of Bitcoin to fiat a mistake? on: July 14, 2022, 04:19:29 PM
From my own understanding, is any government planning to outright ban to the purchase of BTC with fiat currency will be someone who's totally naive about the concept of Bitcoin and understands that it's here to stay.
That doesn't seem to be the case, governments won't do it if they feel that bitcoin is still in their favor. But in certain cases they will only limit it with all the rules to keep the user centered. An example is KYC, that's the most obvious one as one of the reasons and the rest they just prohibit users from using bitcoin as a legal tender.

An example is the Chinese government despite all the restrictions and bans placed on Bitcoin by their government, people from there still find a way to buy and invest in Bitcoin.
It was a risky activity for them but certainly could be done secretly. I don't think many people will be willing to do it once the government imposes a ban, but it can.
2053  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 13, 2022, 07:21:55 PM
Yeah Hopefully ! later in real premier league Manchester United match made by Erik Ten Hag can have a perfect season, at least being in the top 3 is even better if their get the title. But I'm not so sure because the friendly match is only a warm up and also a manager assessment of his squad, although the results achieved are quite awesome.
You can certainly hope if you are a Manchester United fan. But know, they are still too weak to be expected to win the title as long as Liverpool and Manchester City continue to improve the quality of their players by buying in the market. Take a look at who Manchester United have signed for this season, and compare what Liverpool and Manchester City have done even if it doesn't guarantee success.

Ten Hag has a chance and he can also be expected because he is a good coach. But his success is still in doubt because this is his first season in the Premier League which is much tougher than the previous competition in Dutch.
2054  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: You have not lost a dime if your Bitcoin is in your wallet on: July 13, 2022, 07:16:10 PM
1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin, that's the base value. But if you buy 1 bitcoin at $40K then you have lost $20K if it's down 50% from where you bought it even though you haven't sold it. You can still survive falling prices if you have enough reserves to make ends meet, but what about the others?

But if someone is smart enough and understands how the market works then they will probably sell and cut losses on a dip, so there is a high chance they will get more than 1 bitcoin if the dip is much deeper. You don't always have to be a holder if you don't have enough spare cash, but you can still build your portfolio from initial capital if you really understand how the market works. But this is the difference in perception between traders and long-term holders.
2055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin dump have any impact on gamblers ? on: July 13, 2022, 07:01:09 PM
I think if they were new they wouldn't pay much attention to the ups and downs of the price, because basically they would focus on the stakes and not on the price on bitcoin. But indeed, the decline in the price of bitcoin will not affect the overall bet because every gambler and player certainly has its own way and calculation for them to hold, withdraw and deposit. So far the price of bitcoin has experienced a lot of decline but in fact there are not many gamblers who complain about it and also, not many of the developers are bankrupt, because more of them survive and continue to grow over time.
I don't know about anyone else, but for me it won't have any impact. I don't bet with bitcoin, but more likely to do with other currencies like stablecoin or others. The impact of bitcoin's decline only leaves me with the opportunity to earn more bitcoin if I win, but the opposite will happen if I use stablecoin.

Big gamblers in the crypto space don't really care about price volatility, but they only care about how much assets they have in crypto so the lower the bitcoin price, the more it appears they are trying to collect more by gambling.
2056  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Be careful what you wish for, it might happen on: July 13, 2022, 06:49:43 PM
So, leaving theory aside and thinking realistically, I believe that the decentralization brought by Bitcoin will be very limited.
Yes, and that's why only a very small percentage of people can actually live with bitcoin decentralization. Meanwhile, we are still dealing with centralization and strict government regulations. KYC and tax fee are some of the things that keep us from completely have financial freedom with bitcoin especially for countries that don't legalize it as legal tender. In the end it's true as you said, the decentralization that bitcoin brings will be limited because we can't completely keep it decentralized when it comes to government and its regulations.

That is Xavi strength, he is a genius in overhauling Barcelona even with minimal financial conditions. Xavi used his former contemporaries to come back and mix with the younger generation to better understand how Barcelona grew from scratch. For that there is still hope, although most people think they doubt Barcelona. Because for now the second position in the standings that can still be obtained next season in La Liga is enough for one seat to the Champions League. At least we have Rapinha added to fill the new formation, I will not doubt Xavi in developing the potential of this player.
Unlike Koeman, I think Barcelona have more faith in Xavi than Koeman from the way Barcelona fulfills his wishes about players. During Xavi's time as Barcelona coach, then we probably already know there are several players who were brought in, both free transfers and players bought from other teams such as Ferran Torres. Aubameyang, Alves, then Adama are some of the players who were brought in to fulfill Xavi's wishes. And now Xavi will also have 3 new personnel namely Kessie, Crhistensen and Raphinha.

It's true, Xavi is a coach that Barcelona might want. He is a legend of the team and he is a player who really knows how Barcelona's philosophy of play is useful for his team's titles and performances. I believe that he will be successful at Barcelona and now he is on the right track for that.

Vinicius and Rodrygo are potential players. Now they need the right guidelines. Properly managed, these players will become the star players of Real Madrid in the next few seasons. For this they need the right direction and be more diligent. At the same time, they now have the opportunity to play with the experienced Benzema. As a result, I think they can become experienced very quickly.
True, they are Real Madrid's future players and during this time Ancelotti is a coach who can handle these two players very well. Last season Vinicius and Rodrygo were both players who helped Real Madrid win the Champions League and Laliga, they are important players and this season I am sure they will be even better.

Benzema will not last much longer at Real Madrid and he will soon be heading towards the end of his career. He is not young anymore to play at a high level, but his experience can still be a guide for his juniors like Rodrygo and Vinicius.

Specialists believe that Bitcoin and good ecosystem projects will survive the crypto winter and grow, but many won't make it. Some fiat money will also die.
https://www.vanticatrading.com/post/many-crypto-projects-will-die
Inflation has put fiat on the brink of collapse as it loses value. People complain that the government has little solution to improve the situation. Bitcoin is rated better by far than fiat but of course you should care enough about how you use it, store it, and treat it.

I wouldn't say fiat is going to die even though in history there have been a number of currency failures. The same can happen to thousands of non-potential altcoin and you should be aware that not all cryptocurrencies can help you from inflation. Considering that bitcoin is a good choice than others, it means that you should be willing to ignore more altcoin from your portfolio.

Vinicious is a talented young player, he has shown good character and winning mentality in past seasons. His contribution to the team is outstanding with his pace, dribbling ability and goal scoring, Real Madrid have a player for the future and If he continues with this form he will definitely be competing for the Ballon d'or in coming years. He will be a joy to watch next season.
Real Madrid's regeneration is good, not only Vinicius but also Rodrygo. Both players are qualified to be future stars at Real Madrid because I think they have good skills to follow.

Vinicius is a player who relies on his pace and ball skills, he can be relied on and that's proven as long as he's given the chance. If he works harder then I'm sure he will be the best in the following seasons and so is Rodrygo.
