I find it interesting. I think that those exchanges do/will have an exodus of accounts (and funds) and a liquidity drop too.
At least it helps people keep their money in their own wallets (at least I hope so).

On the other hands, it can cause an even more centralization of users in the few bigger and more active exchanges, which also don't have this kind of fees.
Unfortunately I don't expect many CEX users opt for DEX, not yet. But maybe soon enough...

They have been still selling Nano S this year, 2022. And, afaik, by the European laws (Ledger is French, right?), they have to offer full support for at least 2 more years.
So for now I would not be worried. Not yet. After 2024, that's another story.

Actually it happens early in the (European) mornings too, during the week, and rather often.
For now all is nice. The "madness" will start when the price will jump fast again.

It can be that they fear they may make mistakes and it can be that they are not ready to take responsibility for those actions. It's you who know better all this.
However, no matter how good you explain, there's a very good chance they'll blame you anyway if something goes wrong.

I would not do this, especially if there are doubts like you've expressed.
If they really want to, you can guide them on each and every step (even by staying behind their back), but doing the actions yourself, ... I don't know...

Salut.
Noi nu avem acces la tine pe calculator, deci calea locala nu ne ajuta. Pune poza pe imgur.com sau postimages.org si da-ne link-ul de acolo.
In plus, doar o poza s-ar putea sa nu ajute asa mult, recomand sa spui si cum se numeste portofelul pe care il folosesti si eventual link (mai ales daca e ceva portofel pe web).

1. It worth mentioning that the radio scene is around minute 8:15
2. Bitcoin in movies is nothing new. Most probably that news is meant to emphasize that the action happens in a more or less distant future. Nothing else.

Imho for every change that's against the people (like the current Big Brother trend) there's a threshold. When the glass is getting full, the people will react, and badly.
For now, especially in the democratic countries, some politicians are testing the waters and others keep an eye on them. Sort of equilibrium that doesn't need to be taken too serious (everybody can declare anything, that doesn't mean it will actually happen).

So no, I don't think that bitcoin will perish that soon. It will even get bigger.
Plus, bitcoin can work with and without KYC, depending on what the user wants and his level of knowledge.

Actually this trend trends to even fuel the privacy oriented altcoins ...

I have a feeling that the services relying on non-RBF transactions may have a small edge / advantage over the competition (since 0 conf is a good advertising and attracts users) hence they're not eager to change.

So while it could be a nice gesture to postpone the full RBF a little, we may have the exact same problem on the next release too.

Oh, asa are ceva sens. Ma speriasem ca, cel putin virtual, de la o P.U.L.A. intreaga s-a ajuns la doar 1inch...


Nu ma pricep, dar suna mai degraba a inginerie financiara, si fiind vorba de un memecoin inteles pe o zona restransa, poate fi un risk major sa pierzi si acei 20k.
Poate ca si de aceea lumea da din colt in colt cand ii intrebi de bani de investit.

(Na, poate ca oi fi mai batut in cap, dar 20k mai degraba i-as pune intr-un BTC si as astepta vreo 2-3 ani pana creste ca Fat-Frumos. Sa nu te superi.)

Woah. I stand corrected (although Russia allied with US sounds odd, I think that I understand what you mean).

Still, if not pro-Russia, they still try, especially lately, to enrage US, at least that's my feeling.
Plus, also lately, they seem to help out Russia sell some resources under the radar. It may be "business, as usual", or may be more, I don't know.

Ei, nu certa omu', are motiv destul de bun...
Plus ca ecuatia nu il avantajeaza: el ne descreteste fruntile, dar noi o tot tinem relativ seriosi... Trebuie sa facem ceva in aceasta privinta (poate coacem si noi un topic mai amuzant, nu stiu..)


Super tare, desi la servici s-ar putea sa fie mai de efect sa-i demonstrezi (pasnic) sefului sefului tau cat de prost e seful tau.


Din ce am citit excesul de bautura nu e foarte rau, cat timp excesele sunt (relativ) rare.
Deci mai bine 10 beri o data pe luna decat 5 beri la fiecare cateva zile (plus ca iesi si mai ieftin).


....Sper din suflet sa ai unde sa dormi si dupa ziua de azi (na, iar sunt prea serios...).

While the advice to stop spending the time with the bounties (since most are worthless) is a good advice, I am not convinced about the knowledge you claim.
I am sure that in so much time you had plenty of ways to learn, but with so small activity on the forum there are also plenty of chances you've misunderstood something and didn't ask here.

Of course, I may be wrong, still, be careful, ask first, don't be overly confident with things you don't know for sure and keep in mind that all of us keep learning things during our entire lifetime.

This is just a business strategy to get a bigger number of customers. It can also be a strategy to gather as much KYC data as he can... and I don't want to think what he can use that for.

I agree he's fake. I agree that all he cares about is profit and jumping heavily into "crypto" may hurt his finances badly if bitcoin bull market doesn't come quick and save him.
I think that the only correct morale of the story is "never keep too much money and for too long in custodial accounts" (eg exchanges). Not only FTX.

You are just too late, meaning that plenty others have been noticing this in the past years.

In 2014 already, Dogecoin holders have sponsored and painted (nicely!) a car for NASCAR.
I don't know, I think it was in 2017 I think when some Monero holders were trying to get people from entertainment area advertise Monero.
Kim Kardashian was already fined for shilling some other coin.
Crypto.com is very present in Formula 1.
Many platforms are sponsoring football teams, formula 1 cars and many other sports.
...and this is only the small part I know of.

As you can see, it happens already on a pretty big scale, and not only for bitcoin.
But bitcoin itself is a somewhat different story. Bitcoin has not CEO, it's not a business per se, it doesn't have funds for advertising. Bitcoin related businesses have that. So Bitcoin itself won't advertise itself, but Bitcoin companies should advertise both themselves and Bitcoin too. Could this be done at a larger scale? Most probably. But overall it's not a new idea.

Linux is supposed to be the safer. But if you don't know very good to setup your OS you will miss something. Even if you know what to do you have a chance for making errors, or not update some vulnerability in time, or whatever.

The safest setup is the offline setup. Learn to use cold storage, it can be set up with one USB stick or external HDD if you don't have a spare computer. Just keep in mind that the system should (absolutely) never go online.
Or, if you want convenience or you're not tech savvy, just buy a hardware wallet.

I've found at some point these writings: https://saleemrashid.com/2018/03/20/breaking-ledger-security-model/
I don't know if you're familiar with them, unfortunately I didn't get to read much either, but a quick look seems to tell that getting the info is possible, especially if you're lucky to have an old firmware on it (1.3.1).

Since you don't have neither the PIN, nor the private key,... is this your Ledger? I guess not. And then, why would we help you steal somebody else's money? "paid in abundance" sound cool, but "accessory to crime" doesn't.

They will most certainly do. But they're not the only problem, I'm sure others are scraping the forum too, for whatever reasons. Some users may user archive.is (and its brothers), search engines also do their scraping, the internet archive may do so too (less often though), ... the thing is that if you do such a mistake you cannot ever be sure it was not recorded somewhere (else), no matter the nice guys from the forum delete that from their data.

They could be actually happy that they've found a way to boost sales: when the storage doesn't suffice you'll need a new MacBook with bigger in-built storage. This happens with smartphones' RAM too for many years, no matter the maker.
(I'm not a Mac/Apple fan/user, so I may have been misunderstand something though; if so, please correct me)

This is interesting, but we both know that this is not about amounts that can really move the market/trend.
However, the sentiment indeed is improving.
