2181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you experienced this kind of gambling on: January 10, 2023, 07:41:51 AM
So this particular guy in Nigeria around 5 years ago followed some Jersey numbers he has been monitoring for the week and according to him 3 of the numbers where consistently and regularly appearing on different TV stations for the week and he concluded some numbers and went to stake them 3/3 in the weekend draws and behold! When the matches were played all turned out draws and this guy cashed out from different pool shops where he did the stakings. It was a big winning story in the area alongside few guys he gave the numbers to try their luck.
The guy was only lucky, but gambling is luck. What I do not use to take in sport gambling is draw, I prefer to go for win or lose. Instead of taking draw, I can just go for win or draw with smaller odds. But in my own way, I have to analyse a match before selecting the players, I do not just because of no analytical reasons select a team to just win, I follow analyses and not that kind of strategy.

From the days of fake gold down till the day of cyber attacks, Brute forcing and internet fraud it has been peoples ignorance that is always capitalised on. This is why in our today world of crypto currency we hear DYOR every now and then.
Many online scam is because of greediness and stupidity, some humans are foolish but the foolishness may be avoided by experience of what the scamnner what to do, only some people that may not have the experience and still understand that someone is a scammer. But is it not stupid for someone to send money to a person he has not met before, a person that has nothing to lose if you send him money and a person that is not trackable. Another is to pay for the money you are expecting. Many like that are stupidity.

If you didn't stop posting you may had enough activity and merit to rank up already. If you use forum in read-only mode your activity stays same.
Some people may stop posting because not only activity is used again when merit/smerit started in 2018, spammers and shit poster stop posting by that time because they may be alts or because they are not having merits which helps this forum to filter away spammers and many shit posters. He may continue to post, but according to his post history, if he did not change and increase his posting quality after the implementation of merit/smerit, he can only have more activity, not merit and he will stay being a full member. I will not be surprised that if there is no merit/smerit implementation, this user would be a legendary by now but on a shit posting forum, but that was changed with the implementation of merit/smerit.
2184  Other / Meta / Re: Merit & new rank requirements on: January 08, 2023, 09:10:04 PM
Being a member since 2017 and I am not even hero.
It is because you are one of the bounty hunter spammers of that time, merit/smerit start in early 2018 and you stop posting since early 2018 until today. After merit/smerit started, some people did not post again which might be the reason you did not post again. But the main reason we can link to your account staying stagnant without ranking is because of your inactivity.
2185  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Another lesson for those that are using custodial exchanges and wallets on: January 08, 2023, 03:28:02 PM
It's so bad to hold one's crypto in any decentralized wallet, this is part of the repercussion.
You have a very good post but you make a mistake, I guess you are talking about custodial wallet and centralized exchanges, that we should not save crypto on them, instead we should use noncustodial wallet which is what we are talking about. On decentralized exchanges, you can send coin from your noncustodial wallet and receive the coin you exchange for on noncustodial wallet, they are not the same as centralized exchanges. What we against is that people should not save their coins are centralized exchanges and custodial wallets because you do not have the keys. We can not say a wallet is decentralized, if we have to say that, it means we should refer to those wallets that you run your node like bitcoin core.
2186  Other / Beginners & Help / Another lesson for those that are using custodial exchanges and wallets on: January 08, 2023, 10:40:40 AM
I do not know if Wyre is a custodial wallet or an exchange. I decided to post this on beginners and help for the beginners to learn another lesson which is not new again. But moderator can decide to move it to the appropriate board.

This is not about hack but it is about not you key not your coin. On noncustodial wallet, you are the owner of your coin, unlike on custodial wallets and exchanges that you are not the owner because the keys are not yours.

See the interesting news:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/wyre-imposes-up-to-a-90-withdrawal-limit-for-all-users

Wyre users are able to withdraw, but they can only withdraw 90% of their money. Assuming you have $1000 on the exchange, you can not be able to withdraw $100 and Wyre users will be panicking about their money by now. Can you see that the more money they have on Wyre, the more money they can not be able to withdraw. On noncustodial wallet, you can send all your coins on the wallet at anytime.

You are not new on this forum, there are other better topics for beginners, why do you just feel special to post only yours? Or you like other people to read about your topics while you do not like to read other people's topic? Can you give us any good reason you do not post other topics that are better too but only yours?

Ledger Nano is a hardware wallet, but it is not the only hardware wallet. Even if you want o use hardware wallet as an example, is it ledger nano that is not absolutely open source that you should recommend when open source hardware wallets are existing.

What I just know is that some of those topics could be lies, we should have a way to verify that what the OPs are saying is true. It may not be lies but we should have evidence that it is true.

You created a thread about your 2022 work and you locked it: BlackBoss_ Works. What if other people too started to create their 2022 topics, is it going to be fine?

If you do not want things like that, why are you not following yourself as an example.
2189  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Store your seed phrase offline on: January 08, 2023, 08:11:51 AM
The most important thing is the seed phrase, nothing at all.
You can recover a wallet without a password, just simply import it using the seed phrase. 
There are too many ways how to protect our seed phrase or private key as long as you stay away online, you're safe.  A piece of paper or engraved on metal, it's up to you as long as you know it's safe.
There is nothing as important as the private key.

Because the seed phrase can produce the private key, that is why the seed phrase is very important but there is nothing as important as the private key.

Bitcoin core do not have seed phrase, either you backup the master private key or the wallet file. If you backup the wallet.dat, the password will be important if you encrypt it.

What do you suggest we base probabilistic predictions on?
What I think he is saying is that something like pandemic may happen that will make the world panic like the time of Coronavirus Pandemic which may cause the fall of bitcoin in price more again which might make bitcoin to go below $15000, but people failed to understand that it might not be because of the pandemic that bitcoin price falled that time because during the pandemic, bitcoin price later rose. When bitcoin even falled to $3900 in 2020, it took only 1 hour to increased back above $5000 and later in increased back to $7000 and even above. Some people will fail to understand that people are strongly waiting for halving which will lead to another significant bull run while no or no much further fall this year.
2191  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I think it's wrong on: January 08, 2023, 07:25:21 AM
What told you people that 2020 bitcoin price fall during the March 2020 was because of pandemic? Bitcoin price falled in 2019 too, also in 2018, getting to some prices above $3000 but not below. During the pandemic, bitcoin price increased too. People only link what is happening to what is causing bitcoin price fall without doing more research about the actual cause.

I will advice you to have a positive thinking, some people will always just have negative thinking about bitcoin price until they are finally seeing themselves missing the bull market.
2192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ ENGLISH FA CUP 2022/23 TOURNAMENT - Discussion Thread on: January 06, 2023, 11:51:38 AM
@JollyGood I personally expect Manchester United to win because I’m sure that Erik ten Hag desires to win a trophy in his first season, and the way he prepares his team for every match makes me confident to say that my beloved club is back on track.
FA cup is not easy and to know the club that will be the FA cup winner is very difficult, there are many other clubs that are good in EPL that are eager to win FA cup too, Manchester United team can try their best, but they may or may not be the winner. But as for today's match, this season has been a bad season for Everton and they are on the relegation position in premier league, that is enough to let us know that Manchester United is having a better chance to win.
2193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: wallets that work with bet365 on: January 06, 2023, 11:42:25 AM
Debit card in my country is for only withdrawing and not for depositing money.
Does that mean regardless of what platform you use, you can't use a debit card to pay your bills? That sounds a bit outdated. That means the usage of your debit card is very limited such as withdrawing money from ATM or something similar.
You can use debit card to pay bills, used for withdrawing at ATM and POS, it can be used for debiting but not crediting is what I was saying, which means if you want to pay your bills, you can use the debit card. But the difference it has to credit card in my country is that you can use credit card provided by bank that I am using for both for making payment (debit) and also for accepting payment (credit), but debit card is only used for debiting, not crediting is what I am talking about. To make a withdraw on bet365, it would be credit card that would be used for it.
2194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys bet on sports or casinos more? on: January 06, 2023, 11:36:24 AM
Sports Bet and Casino are two completely different things Casino you have to play and win yourself and Sports Bet is a live game where you make a prediction based on which team you bet on. But there are many techniques to be used to win in casino but in sports bet you just need to pick a team and bet for that team which is much easier and fun than casino. Because now most of the people like sports so almost everyone knows which team plays well and which team is weak so it is easy for everyone to place bets.
Casino games are fun and easy too, you have varieties of games that you can choose from, you can also just bet with as low as $0.1 and have fun while betting in each round. Sport betting is not as easy as it is talked about, it is easy to bet but winning can be hard. In betting, using the correct strategy is very important, because if you do not, both in casino and sport betting, losses is more to be what would happen.
2195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing the big multipliers in soccer on: January 06, 2023, 11:25:02 AM
Sometimes I do "dumb" bets like this just to breakaway from my betting patterns. I tend to get bored doing the same stuffs over and over so it's quite fun to do something else. Win rate is low as well but it doesn't hurt since the amounts are within my limits. Of course I personally do not recommend anyone to follow this kind of style.
I can never bet like this, no fun going for betting if I just prefer to go for the underdogs, the better team is likely to win. If the strong team do not win, the match can still be drawn, which makes going for underdog to be a loss. I can go for underdog, but in special cases and for some reasons that the underdog might win, I have done that before that I have won, or going for underdog win or draw. But the fun I have while betting is to choose the right team to win.

  • If you need to have a backup for recovery, seed phrase is most important. Without it, you can not recover your wallet if your device is broken and can not be fix technically so that you can access your wallet file.
  • If you don't have a backup but your device is well, wallet file is usable, you only need a password to decrypt it and access it. So in this case, password is more important.
  • Of course a backup (should be multiple backups) should be a first thing to do before using any wallet.
I can prefer file backup for wallet.dat but if using a seed phrase wallet, I will only just prefer to go for seed phrase which makes password not to be important to access my coins because if I forget the password, I can still import the seed phrase on a new wallet to have access to my coins, but with wallets like bitcoin core that do not have seed phrase, I will prefer file backup.
2197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: wallets that work with bet365 on: January 05, 2023, 08:12:34 AM
Yes, in your situation it becomes a problem.  You have to use PayPal or wire transfer only, and we talked that not all gamblers can use PayPal.
I don`t like wire transfers, in our country banks control them much more than debit/credit cards. I don`t know why it is so, but i had no problems in my bank until i made wire transfer, after that they asked a huge volume of information about all my transactions.
But if there is no choice - we have to use it.
I do not know if people can now use PayPal in my country to transfer, but I remember when it was allowed for people outside of my country to deposit into Paypal account of people in my country, but people in my country can not pay people outside of my country. Which means withdrawing from bet365 should be possible, just that PayPal payment is not available for people in my country on bet365. Luckily I do not have problem with wire transfer which is the only option for me.
2198  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why are you here? on: January 05, 2023, 08:07:41 AM
The good part of this forum is the ability to earn while learning.
It is just like a person that came to this forum, see how hard it is in the beginning, learning what people are doing and become like them, gain knowledge and have experience. These are the kind of people that will let this forum move forward and earning too, but earning is not necessary. The learner will later be the tutor or a role model that those beginners in the future will wish to be like. Knowledge is existing on this forum and remain not to extinct.
2199  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why Bitcointalk is the best forum on: January 05, 2023, 08:00:30 AM
One of the reasons I see bitcointalk as the best forum is because you can not be reading what people are posting on this forum and be scammed by people, this forum teaches you about some bad side of life and how to avoid.

On this forum you can earn some money, it is small but earning it for your good activities, the earning is like passive income. Just like chatting and earning. It is fun.

If you plagiarized anything, it would be known and you will be banned.

If you spam, your posts will be deleted and you may be temporary banned or permanently banned, it depends on how stupid your post is.

This forum is best to me because it is the forum I am mostly active.
2200  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies do not be fooled by developers on: January 05, 2023, 07:51:53 AM
Developers mostly don't have your interest at heart, we all know it's all about the money but they aren't doing something new that worth our money, make sure you do your diligent research.
The government are getting late for proper regulation, the government like to focus most on exchanges but there are still those so called altcoins decentralized exchanges that scammers are using successfully. Even most now projects are fake, many are failed, there are some that their developers are greedy and they dump the project, many are for scam from its beginning. There are thousands of coins that are existing now, but I prefer not to buy a coin that do not have a good marketcap. Out of all bitcoin is the best.
