AFAIK, this is a different type of scam where anyone who imports the keys would see a balance in the wallet, but would need to make a deposit before they can send it out to cover the feea. This seems more believable as no one is directly prompting them to do anything and it looks like free money.

The scammers has already used a sort of script which sends out any asset deposited into the address, so once they make a transaction,bit is instantly sent out from the wallet.

Pretty much. I'd imagine that this scam isn't one of those scams where the scammer could steal hundreds of thousands to millions with a single victim, but instead it's something that has a very low reward(small deposits for fees) but far higher chances of success.

Despite the UI being oldschool-ish, CoinGecko does the job well. Add the fact that you wouldn't need to download a separate app, as people mostly have the CoinGecko app to start with for price lookups.

You need to wise up, in this world today, people don't give up something without wanting something back, nothing is actually for free, so if someone contacted you on Twitter, Telegram or any social media platforms saying they can make you rich by helping them or they played dump as if they can't operate their own wallet or account they are 100% scammers.

It's not even just today — it's pretty much the same since forever when talking about the internet/web. And unfortunately, delusional people will always exist — hence such scams will always exist. All we can do is to potentially lessen the number of victims a bit.
2084  Economy / Economics / Re: The Growth of cryptocurrency over foreign currency. on: January 17, 2023, 05:57:57 PM
As a trend indead Bitcoin has really show it's potential value, as in case of society currently are about to change which will automatically make both investors and government agencies to change their currency into Bitcoin inorder to safe guard their money it is a note that there are every probability that in time to come cryptocurrency will be officially adopted so I encourage everyone to go into cryptocurrency either in terms of trading or investment.

Government changing their currency to bitcoin? That's one way to totally send a huge majority of their people deeper into poverty and definitely one effective way for the people to not vote for them again. It's like expecting Apple to be selling their iPhones running Android OS.
2085  Economy / Economics / Re: Brace yourselves, CBDCs one Step Closer on: January 17, 2023, 04:47:14 PM
Brace yourselves for what? CBDC is pretty much just fiat with a different back-end(possibly tokenized) anyway. I'd imagine that a CBDC would just be a far worse version of USDT or USDC.
2086  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: i am a housewife want to invest in bitcoin on: January 17, 2023, 04:13:55 PM
Don't "invest" in bitcoin just because the number can go up. Invest in it if you actually think it will go up because you agree/align with the investment theses. Because for every bitcoin-positive person here on Bitcointalk, there will be a skeptic on other social media.

Educate yourself — you're obviously going to get biased answers here.

2087  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Poll: What percent of your portfolio is stored in Bitcoin/Crypto on: January 17, 2023, 07:51:23 AM
>60% deployed in various cryptocurrencies that I personally think would outperform BTC. The rest, in fiat and in stablecoins(so I can buy easier and faster). And yes, while there could be more downward price movement, I can take the hit as I'm 100% in spot, and that I have income to increase my buying power.
2088  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It is ok to sell your Bitcoin. on: January 17, 2023, 06:19:26 AM
1. Depends who you're asking. Not everyone is holding bitcoin for the same exact reasons.

2. Because I know I and the huge majority of people can't consistently and accurately predict bottoms.

3. Because I'm long term bullish on bitcoin due to it's characteristics.

Want your child to be bullied? Because that's definitely one way for your child to be bullied.

If you want to make an homage to Bitcoin, probably at least pick Satoshi or Hal instead?
2090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A good way to promote Bitcoin or not? on: January 16, 2023, 09:42:27 AM
As long as you're confident that you can actually give great answers that doesn't make Bitcoin sound like a pump-and-dump scheme, then sure.

In my opinion, a quick conversation in your store isn't ample enough time for them to get a good grasp on what Bitcoin is and why it's important. Idunno, probably hand out small strips of paper with links to education material?
2091  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: ads might drain your wallets on: January 16, 2023, 09:02:35 AM
Ublockorigin can help against ads on computer, some antivirus can help too. But some people have little amount of bitcoin on phones nowadays, no matter how small the coins are, it has to be protected, ublockorigin is not having a mobile phone one, what can be the alternative for mobile phones?

It's not as good as using the uBlock Origin plugin, but the Brave browser works decently in my opinion. Yea it gets a lot of bad rap because they have a token, but you don't really need to have the token for it to work to its full potential.

2092  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: ads might drain your wallets on: January 16, 2023, 08:13:40 AM
Heads up: always use the uBlock Origin ad-blocker when browsing the internet on your computer. It effectively removes like approximately 95% of ads everywhere. It's free and open-source, and it removes a lot of unnecessary clutter when browsing the web.

If the forum's search engine sucks as both of you've identified (I've noticed it too) then it's about time something is done on that. The few times I tried to search stuff on the forum it was herculean getting through. Henceforth, I will start adopting mk4 method.

I totally doubt something would be done with the current search function knowing how stagnant the forum development is (both in the current SMF version of Bitcointalk, and the future EpochTalk version). Fortunately just opening a Google tab is almost just as convenient.
2094  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Btc get to $12k or $10k on: January 16, 2023, 05:33:55 AM
Yes but bitcoin is not going below $10000, even bitcoin may not go below it lowest price last year again which is $15400. Bitcoin may decrease back but not going below that price and what we are going to notice later on is that the price will reach ATH.

Not saying that it will not happen because it's definitely unlikely, but it's absolutely very possible. Take note that $10,000 is merely just approximately 55-60% down from here. If there's something I've learned about bitcoin after 7 years, it can definitely surprise people — both in the upside and the downside.
2095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Anyone know why FTT price started to rise just now? on: January 16, 2023, 05:07:26 AM
I'm certainly not the most qualified person to answer your question but I recently came across an article claiming that the FTX exchange was able to recover 5 billion dollars in assets (including  other cryptocurrencies, cash, and other liquid assets) in an effort to repay its customers, which could possibly justify the recovery FTT is marking.

Source: https://cryptopotato.com/ftx-locates-5-billion-in-assets-attorney-says-report/

Pretty much this. Some people on Twitter are speculating that there's a good chance that FTX ends up being solvent after all after selling the shares of FTX Ventures(Robinhood, etc). And add the fact that FTT is currently very illiquid — you can easily get pumps such as this.
2096  Economy / Speculation / Re: How was your belief formed? on: January 16, 2023, 04:54:06 AM
In my case, it's a lot less about halvings and scarcity and stuff — it's a lot more because of ideology. The importance of Bitcoin clicked in my head when PayPal banned my account and stole my money(for "damages", apparently) for no reason besides them being skeptical.
2097  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Your best advice/recommendations for a crypto beginner on: January 16, 2023, 04:42:27 AM
Unless you're solely a daytrader who trades like 1-minute charts, 99% of the time it'll be absolutely necessary to do your research and know the industry you're in. Funnily, most people skip this part and simply just resort to YouTubers who just pump and dump coins on their faces.

2098  Economy / Economics / Re: More Money Problems that Bitcoin Solves on: January 15, 2023, 08:40:01 PM
Pretty simple. Governments have control over their people/economy through their local currency. Them adopting bitcoin would make it highly likely for them lose the control that they had to a certain extent.
2099  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Btc get to $12k or $10k on: January 15, 2023, 08:16:24 PM
My take: BTC will be somewhere between $500 and $1,000,000 at the end of the year.

2100  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bitcoin balik 20k$ na ulet. Bear? on: January 15, 2023, 09:50:53 AM
Usually it takes years bago magbullrun ulet, is it a good time to reinvest? or wait sa masmababang presyo?

Simple lang naman — kung bullish ang isang tao sa bitcoin in the long-term, accept the fact nalang na sobrang hirap ipredict ang markets so one of the best solutions is to dollar(or peso, in this case) cost average.
