I often report such posts as "low-quality posts." We all need to understand, and I often write about this, that just looking for articles on the Internet is not a big problem. Because the Internet is available to everyone, and we are free to surf it, transferring information to the forum, which is sometimes incorrect, is not worth it.
If no one responds to such copy-pastes, moderators will simply delete them. I see it from experience. If there are no answers, the report is good.
To stop this behavior of those who come here copying, simply ignore or report these posts.

Any telegram groups or YouTube channels that deal with prophecies are aimed only at personal interest. Their motto, "Subscribe, like, and join a paid group for guaranteed predictions," has become so popular that if I meet something like that, I immediately conclude that these are just other couch analysts.
Even if a person has a good nose, why would he reveal all the secrets? The "money" button is not available on the Internet, but there is only our own experience and practice to tell whether the decision will be correct or not. Therefore, if there is no experience, just be a holder; the ability to be patient is the same experience that will subsequently lead to the expected result.

If you see that the topic is self-moderated, just pass by. Topics cannot be deleted entirely if the author does not violate the rules. And this can either be plagiarism or a low-quality post. Usually, such posts are complete copies of other people's articles, but with a link to the source. And even in this case, the moderators will not delete the topic because other users have answered it.
And also, the topic can be moved to a section where signatures will not be visible, and accordingly, managers will not pay for these posts.
As a result of what has been said, do not post on self-moderated topics.

As described earlier, James Howells bought bitcoin for next to nothing and kept his hard drive on his desk. After spilling liquid on the desk, he decided the hard drive was defective and threw it away while cleaning.
Didn't he mine those 7500 bitcoin instead of buying it?


Oh yes, thanks for the correction. Russian sources talk about buying, and I honestly always thought so. But now I've found a deeper story about the lost bitcoins, and yes, you're right, Howells mined those bitcoins on his gaming laptop. (I hope this is a true story)

2265  Economy / Economics / Re: FTX CEO says company engaged in 'old fashioned embezzlement' under SBF on: December 16, 2022, 12:58:04 PM
According to the news that broke the story, the SBF faces a total sentence of about 115 years in all eight criminal cases in which he is charged.
SBF is not being released on bail, which he offered in the amount of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for fear that he might escape. Therefore, since he has nothing to lose, he continues to tease the audience, exposing himself as an even bigger idiot. And I would like to hope that being in a prison with poor conditions will fulfill its mission of repentance for what they have done.

CZ can't say otherwise. It is convenient for him that people trust the exchange. Had he been elsewhere, he would have said otherwise. This is his business and nothing more.
As for users who will not be able to manage their funds by keeping them in their wallets, they can be metaphorically compared to people who cannot drive a car. People have to agree with the rule that if you can't drive, you can't drive, and you will bear the consequences. If a person loses his keys and passwords from his wallet, it falls only on his shoulders.

@landheer I believe the guy threw the disk away on purpose not by accident, he had this old drive he didn't need and just disposed of it disregarding the "experiments" he made with btc which when he threw the disk away were just worthless bits.
Am I wrong or did he do it by accident?

As described earlier, James Howells bought bitcoin for next to nothing and kept his hard drive on his desk. After spilling liquid on the desk, he decided the hard drive was defective and threw it away while cleaning.

He probably could have made most of it back working a part time job and buying crypto all these years instead of digging in the dump.

I also thought about it. Also, given that he still attempted to hire a team to search, he most likely spent a significant amount of money, to his detriment. Although, knowing you are a millionaire and that your millions are stored in a dump can have a negative psychological impact.
2268  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: First terms I followed up before I bought my first bitcoin. on: December 16, 2022, 05:40:10 AM
The title of the post implies some kind of personal performance from the author. But it's just copy and paste, and yes, the OP insured himself by giving a link to where he copied everything.
OP, you not only copied someone else's article but also lied that you yourself did something.
Looks very ugly. Do not forget the OP; the Internet is a big garbage dump, and in order to copy something from there, you need to at least read and understand what you are copying.
2269  Other / Meta / Re: One click and jump in to ninjastic.space [Time saving tricks] on: December 16, 2022, 04:35:57 AM
How long does it take to copy and paste a username into a Ninjaspace search? Also, how often do people need to look for it? Don't extensions, no matter how open they are, create privacy and security issues, especially for those who don't understand them? Of course, the OP put everything on the shelves, and everything is described in detail, but I doubt it.
Very often, it is advised not to decorate your browser like a Christmas tree with extensions; a lot can happen, and you can later regret that you once saved your time by not wanting to do everything on your own.

Coolidge effect is observable in most species, it is the building of tolerance to, or boredom with, the same person or stimulus. Over time their presence becomes less 'rewarding' to the brain. Over time we just have less and less desire for the same sexual partner.

you can only desire what you do not have, attainment is the end of desire.

The question contains the answer to the volume of the entire forum. OP, when did you discover the internet? The three questions you asked are not being searched on the web? Google probably doesn't know the answer, does it?
But you found this forum, hooray, this is a step towards bitcoin. Now read all the links you were given above and ask more specific questions.
There is also a good search thread on the forum. Learn to search.

2272  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Keep your money off exchange, in this crisis moments hold Bitcoin for safety on: December 15, 2022, 10:05:55 AM
After the collapse of the FTX exchange, many flaws were exposed. It turned out that they kept customer funds in unencrypted text, which could easily lead to a hack. We can only guess how many more flaws centralized exchanges have until we learn about hacks or bankruptcy again and again. Recently, people have begun to be more attentive to the storage of their funds, trusting only themselves. And it is naive to think that people are so stupid as not to draw conclusions as to whom to entrust their money.
Today, I read the opinion of Changpeng Zhao: "99% of cryptocurrency users will not be able to store assets on their own."  But I strongly disagree with his very presumptuous position. I really hope that the rule about how to store your keys is spreading with great speed.
2273  Other / Meta / Re: Ignored user's post on QUOTE is visible on: December 15, 2022, 07:28:19 AM
I don't see a problem with this. It's not often that you'll be shown a quote from someone you want to ignore. Mostly, these are trolls or bad posters, and I think that users pay minimal attention to their posts. On the other hand, as previously suggested, if you happen to see posts from a poster you dislike, you may have a chance to reconsider ignoring it. Well, or just put on dark glasses and pass by.
2274  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My Embarrassing First Bitcoin Lecture Attempt with my Colleagues on: December 14, 2022, 02:57:58 PM
If you have a computer and a printer, you can create an opening presentation about what you want to tell your friends and colleagues about bitcoin. Just copy and distribute the abstract and invite those who are interested in the lecture, and there you can tell more.
People today are as lazy or as busy as they believe; they must be interested in the right way. And if you are confused and doubt what and how they might think of you, then the second meeting will be easier for you and your colleagues.
Last but not least, do you have friends? If you have the passion to spread the word about bitcoin, start with your friends.
Do you know how human radio works? One will tell three, and those three will tell six more. Most importantly, do not give up your enthusiasm, and everything will work out for you.

No offense — but that's a decent amount of unnecessary buzzwords. Bitcointalk is simply just a community where people just casually talk about Bitcoin/crypto/privacy stuff. I don't get why people take it too seriously as if it's some super professional platform.

Just don't spam, and write legibly; chances are, you'll be totally fine.

And it's true. I read it twice to understand the meaning of a sentence that could have been said in a much simpler way.
O.P., do you also talk in real life? Smiley
But seriously, you are right: Many people start and end their day on social media. But for me, the forum has become such a friend. A cup of coffee in the morning and kefir in the evening are always accompanied by reading the forum.
You are right, OP, in that you motivate newbies, but they have a lot of new vocabulary to learn, so our role should be very simple. Communication should be in a language understandable to beginners, so simple that it seems as if the interlocutor is sitting next to you at the same table.
2276  Economy / Reputation / Re: Neutral tag about my post quality on: December 14, 2022, 06:32:00 AM
I'm surprised you got this kind of feedback. I would say that you are very far from those who create low-quality posts. But JollyGood, as always, has its logic, and publication in its topics suggests some incidents. I don't know what he wants to see as quality answers, but I would just skip JollyGood's self-moderated threads.
And as for managers, I think that to evaluate a user by the quality of his posts, it is enough to set aside some time to read his posts and form your own opinion on whether to accept the user into your company or not.
2277  Other / Meta / Re: Why do users just state their opinion on a topic rather than discuss it on: December 14, 2022, 06:11:16 AM
OP, because a lot of people just don't read the entire discussion but only reply to the first post. You have been on the forum for a long time, and you know that, basically, many are interested in the number of their posts, so you will see repeated answers from time to time, only in different wording. To be honest, it's quite difficult to keep the discussion going when the answers go to page two, as basically the whole topic is already exhausted after a few replies.
2278  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why still keep the money on phone? on: December 13, 2022, 04:32:40 AM
It could be the other way around. People are not quite rich enough to buy themselves a computer or laptop, as well as a hardware wallet. A lot of people here on the forum simply cannot purchase a device to calmly read the forum.
Another point is that not all Android devices will let hackers through. Reasonable people understand that if they have any financial means on the phone, they should use it with extreme caution. I don't have a wallet on my phone; however, I am sure that my information is not available to hackers.
It's simple. You are responsible for your funds. Even with a hardware wallet, if someone lacks sufficient knowledge of storage and use, he can still lose everything.
2279  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: If there were someone's Assets in FTX before FTX collapse? on: December 13, 2022, 04:08:45 AM
but they chose to ignore that
Not always the case I am afraid.  To be honest, I never heard of the insolvency rumors before the insolvency happened.  A lot of Exchange customers keep their funds on the Exchange instead of Cold Wallets and if you miss important information like this for a few days and not act preventive in time, you can be screwed.

Sometimes people are very careless about their funds. Putting them on the exchange and not monitoring the events—you are right, you can end up with a big surprise and an empty basket. This will not happen if you keep your money in cold wallets, first and foremost, by keeping your mental state in check.
It would be appropriate to ask Sam where a significant amount of money went after the secret transfer to Alameda Research, which this scammer denies, and return some of the amounts to customers. And, at the very least, relieve himself of the burden of deception that hangs over him like the sword of Damocles.
