I am a high school student. I learned about Bitcoin, but it's too late. I was so young. Because I was 4 years old in 2009. But as history tells us, bitcoin killer will emerge one day. I want to find out such coin, but I don't have enought knowledge and ability to do that.. I want to ask the smart people here. Is there a coin that is similar to Bitcoin now? something that is perfectly decentralized. I want to invest there. If there's a coin you're making, is fine too. Just let me know. I hope this post becomes a legend.
No, there is no such coin that can even compete with Bitcoin and killing it is impossible my friend. The other coins which we call altcoins are surviving only because of Bitcoin and they will survive only if Bitcoin continues its dominance. The whole crypto-market is dependent on Bitcoin but Bitcoin isn't dependent on any other coin. If you really want to have a better future that should be free from financial issues then I recommend you to learn about Bitcoin and Invest in it instead of finding another coin. There are even some hard-forks of Bitcoin which are exactly similar to Bitcoin and with additional features but none of those are any where close to Bitcoin. Some of the hard-forks of Bitcoin are Bitcoin Cash, and Bitcoin gold, the Bitcoin cash increased the block size from 1 MB to 32 MB in order to reduce fees and increase the number of transactions in a block while Bitcoin gold was more targeted to miners and it allowed miners to use GPU's for mining. There are so many other crypto-currencies in the market with way more features than Bitcoin but known of those is even comparable to Bitcoin. I must say again that the whole market is basically surviving due to Bitcoin and no-coin can take the crown from Bitcoin. I recommend you to learn about Bitcoin only and follow a DCA strategy to invest in it. |

It means you were living in Russia? Because Russia started the war in Ukraine and as a result the Visa and Mastercard payments were blocked in that country. Let's leave that at a side because I'm also not interested in politics and if we talk more about that matter then that will be part of politics.
You were lucky that you had some Bitcoin in your wallet which helped you in those times and it would be great to hear from you that how your converted your Bitcoin into cash during those times. You were fortunate that you moved to a country where Bitcoin was completely allowed and accepted and I believe that such countries are best for the ones who want to use Bitcoin as a method of payment.
Your story is quite inspiring as you have left the banking system and adopted Bitcoin for your daily needs. It would be amazing to know from you that how you're getting Bitcoin because without fiat or without doing any kind of job it's not possible to acquire Bitcoin unless you're mining it yourself. I hope that you aren't using any kind of banking services to purchase new Bitcoin for you because as you said that you really dislike the banking sector. It would be great to hear from you.

That's really true, it's only because of Bitcoin the crypto-currency market is still surviving. The so-called Luna's collapse and depegging of it's so-called LunaUSD discouraged so many investors and a few started claiming that crypto-market is scam and can not be trusted, but because of Bitcoin we are still having the market kicking in last quarter of 2023. The investors who invested in FTX or Luna lost a lot of money due to that unresearched investment. If they had invested in Bitcoin then they wouldn't lose anything at all.

I don't understand digital art, but it's the first time I've seen someone like this want to sell their art. What will happen after paying the amount? Will he get an NFT, will the painting be sold and shipped home, or will he own the intellectual rights of that art, or what?
The digital art is a type of art that's created digitally (which means no use of any physical art stuff like pencils, pens, canvas paper, etc,) and that type of art can be delivered to the buyer without any extra cost. This type of deals are done by freelancers on Facebook and other freelancing platforms and they offer such services to the clients. If someone pays the amount then the artist will create the art and send the created art to the buyer. The art can be used as NFT if the buyer wants to use it as NFT or the buyer may participate in a contest and outsource the art from such freelancers like the OP. This type of painting is digital in nature and there is no physical footprint of such art. Basically the creator owns the intellectual rights of the art but in this case the creator will give complete rights to the buyer. I have been into freelancing platforms and freelancers always offer such type of art services on Fiverr and other freelancing sites. |

That's true the online gambling casinos offer such games, sports betting, and many other type of games that are available for gamblers to place their bets. The development related to gambling is already on top-priority and a few casinos offer really valuable and entertaining games that the gamblers love to play.
The mobile gambling applications are good for those gamblers who want to place bets on the go, but I think they aren't that good because they can be the cause of gambling addiction and an addict may use smartphone most of the time to place bets and waste his/her time on such applications by leaving other important tasks.
Still, I believe that those mobile gambling applications can be useful for those gamblers who want to spend sometime by placing bets. But, the user must have to be careful while using those applications as they may have malware in them which may compromise the devices of the those gamblers. I would always recommend to place bets on a casino's site instead of downloading their applications.

Yesterday my partner came up with an idea to deposit a good some of money in a fixed deposit account on an online banking platform offering a 13% interest rate, they offered to pay the interest upfront but the initial deposite would be locked in till the exact stipulated time. Though this may sound like a good deal I discouraged him from making this investment for the following reasons.
Firstly with the rate at which the traditional currency in my country is steadily loosing value and the proposed profit and initial deposit might just be valueless at the matured time this deal might be of little or no value.
Secondly these platforms in my opinion cannot be trusted as different reasons can lead to their folding up and shutting down. I understand that life's a risk but some risks are not worth taking.
On the other hand I offered a solution. I asked him to invest in Bitcoin, now even though the price of bitcoin is volatile, in my opinion it is still more profitable to invest in Bitcoin especially for long term investment than in any fixed deposit scheme.
If you were in the position to give financial advice to someone looking for a long term financial investment, what would you advice?...
Like everyone else said that 13% interest rate can be a trap because the banks that offer such high interest rates may be frauds or they can be bankrupt anytime. I think you gave a better advice to your partner because those banks are offering such high interest rates to hide something that you and your partner aren't aware of yet. I believe that investing in Bitcoin is safer option for your partner because Bitcoin isn't controlled by a third party and each 4 year it's value can grow due to halving and bull market. The current time is the best time for Bitcoin investment because in 2024-2025 the price of Bitcoin is expected to give the holders at least 100% or even more profits. Some people predict that in next bull run we may see another ATH in the price of Bitcoin and a few predict that Bitcoin will go above $100k. If suppose its price reaches even $90k then you and your partner have made more than 200% profit from the Bitcoin investment. And when we compare it to the amount of interest that you and your partner get from that bank's interest rates then that's less than 30% and that gives us a clear picture that how good Bitcoin is for the investors. |

The future of cryptocurrency is in your hand, because crypto has been created for future financial services, which one have as a digital assets, therefore, it is the best time to invest on cryptocurrency market as market is on bearish.
No, the future of crypto-currency isn't in his hand or our hands because most of the crypto-currencies are controlled by the whales and exchanges and they can manipulate the price of those coins anytime. Only a few altcoins and Bitcoin can not be controlled by others but still if someone has huge holdings of any of the currency and he/she/they decide to sell those holdings in short term then that crypto-currency can face a huge dump. Investing in crypto-currencies can be profitable but only when you invest in reputed ones. |

Trust score does not display in boards were trading is likely not to occur. This shows the real purpose of trust score and I can confidently say that many members of this forum are misusing the trust score. The trust feedback is only for trading and business purposes. Nowadays, I have seen people give feedback like;
This user is a spammer
This account is bought or hacked
This person is reputable in the forum
There might be misuses although, but let the trust feedback be for its purposes.
That's not 100% right because I have noticed that trust score shows on boards which have nothing to do with trading. I have seen it in "mining board", "altcoin boards" that aren't related to trading at all. And, I really agree that trust score was basically introduced to help protect the members of the forum from the scammers. I agree with your points but still the members who left those type of feedback are doing good for the forum. A person who contributes good information on forum will always get appreciation from the other members of the forum in the form of a positive feedback. The ones who buy accounts are mostly frauds and that's why members leave feedback like that to warn the users to be careful from such users. |

If a casino does that then they are surely not among the transparent ones. If a player is winning then a trusted casinos would never take any action to stop those players in anyway and if a casino does that then that casino can't be trusted. I think playing without bonus is good for the players because all the bonuses come with their own terms and conditions and wagering requirements. A casino mostly give those bonuses to grab more and more money from the gamblers and they add wagering requirements because most of the times the gamblers aren't able to win that much and as a result they will lose the bonus money plus their deposited funds. I believe that most of the casinos will pose such restrictions for players who win a lot and basically win with the help of the bonuses. The reputed casinos won't do that but the less-reputed ones will always do that. |

Surely there are some tech geeks on the forum who write the posts to help other people who visit this forum and sometimes the average users also write posts which can be valuable for others. Well, Satoshi was part of this forum and he/she/they may still be part of this forum but in a anonymous way but still in the early days he/she/they was active as a user of the forum and was helping to fix the issues of Bitcoin in those days.
Yeah, the Bitcointalk forum is a good place for everyone who want to make deals with the members of the forum, but I must say that if someone really wants to avoid being scammed then he/she has to deal with reputed members only. The newbies and low-rank members of the forum can't be trusted and some of them can be scammers who may steal your money and may not deliver what they have promised. I would again say that the members should always keep in mind that no forum on the internet is free from scammers and people with scamming mentality are everywhere. None of the scams take place publicly and a scammer always try to scam others via private messages or via Telegram.
The reputation system of the forum is in good state but we still can't consider it as a perfect soliton. I have seen members with many green trust ratings who were later involved in scams while on the other hand there are members without any trust rating but still they haven't done any kind of scam activity so far. Although, everyone trust those members who have positive ratings and actually most of them can be trusted without much thinking, but sometimes the members with no-trust ratings can also provide valuable information for the readers of the forum. I firmly believe that the users with green trust ratings will always try their best to protect their reputation and they can be trusted.

I made a mistake of getting paid for signature campaign in gambling platform accounts.
When I got my payment, I thought I would slowly increase the amount by about 5-10% before I initiate a withdrawal. But I quickly lost control of my emotions and ended up blowing the entire balance of my account. This happened more than once, it happened about 5 times as I received money from different sources.
It’s important for me to tell this story so that others don’t make the same mistake I did. This has been a huge life lesson in managing money and emotional self-discipline .
Yes, you really made a big mistake because getting your signature campaign payments on a gambling platform deposit address is the something that will make you lose the money overnight. Gambling is an addictive thing and when someone delves into the game of gambling in hopes that he/she will make huge profits then that person isn't really aware of losses that are part of gambling. When we gamble we lose control over our emotions and that's one of the reason for us to lose everything that we have in our account. It's really hard to earn something in gambling if luck is not in our favor and when we lose a lot then that shows that luck isn't favoring us. You have at least learned a valuable lesson from your losses and surely you won't repeat the same mistakes again. |

I always got an error,
Bitcointalk image proxy invalid image.
So what is the best image hosting site to use that will not conflict with bitcointalk proxy thing
Like everyone else recommended you the talkimg.com is the best website that you can use to upload your images and the proxy invalid image error will disappear. That error mostly happens when someone uploads images to Imgur.com and those images won't work on this forum. You can try another good website which is https://imgbb.com/ to upload images and the image uploaded on that site also work on the forum flawlessly. But, still I recommend you to use talkimg.com only as that's a project made by a reputed member of the forum and that one works best for Bitcointalk.org. |

_ Even though am a big fan of Bitcoin, it wouldn't make you filthy rich, unless you have a large capital, the real money is in the Alt where the high risk are, just pick the right one.
Although, you are right a little bit but you missed the whole picture. Bitcoin is the only currency that surely gives profits without any risks. The altcoins can go zero in value anytime and the ones who invest in altcoins are risking their money in order to earn profits. Remember the case of TerraLuna that caused huge losses to the investors who invested in it with the same mindset as yours. Altcoins are highly risky as investment and if someone really don't want to lose everything then Bitcoin is the only reliable option for such people.
_ Be patient because that is the key.
_ Control your risk; people mostly waste their money gambling on trades that gives only 1:1 reward ratio without remember every $1 you waste could be $100 during the bull run or a year time.
Well, patience is required in every investment and even in Bitcoin investment the investor must have patience to gain good returns from the investment. I agree that controlling of risk is a good step but sometimes taking risks is also essential in order to reach good levels of financial freedom, but I disagree with you because the ones who are good at trading make far more profits then who ones who hold for bull run.
_ Learn to sell: you need to learn to cut your loss, even though you are -70% , the left over 30% is reinvested than slowly grinding down to -99% because you are too stubborn to admit you are wrong.
_ Take profit: if you don't take profit how can you be profitable? Don't be greedy, just take profit.
Well, if you invest in Bitcoin then you won't have to face -70% loss even if you invest in it right now. Sometimes that can happen but still most of the time that thing doesn't happen with Bitcoin investors. When you invest a low quality altcoin then surely you'll have to find a better way to save your investment. Taking profit isn't always a good thing because sometimes we miss huge profits by taking small profits every once in a while. It depends on our emotional intelligence sometimes because if we can't control our emotions then we may not be able to earn huge profits and sell off early in order to have small profits. |

The bear on the bench,
Made me keep my Bitcoin Cash,
Until I saw sense.
You mean picnic table bear? Gosh he can be persuasive. [edited out]
If I'm not wrong then we are still at least 10-14 months away from the next bull run. Although, the halving event will take within next 7-8 months but still the bull run may need some more time to start. I'm in firm belief that history will repeat itself once again this time. Of course, no bull run is guaranteed, but when they do end up happening, there does seem to tend to be a kind of rampening up of the process in such a way that it starts out slowly and then gets to be more and more and more, but sometimes even those kinds of rampening ups can become unclear.. take the April to June 2019 run for example... so the UPs and downs can sometimes play out weirdly... or in such a way that the pattern, if any, is not completely clear. If we end up with a bullrun this time, then surely it will end up becoming easier to explain it after it happens, and I am not even saying that the explanations that will end up coming out will be consistent, and surely some explanations are more believable than others... . Sometimes it might not be that important to explain why bitcoin did what it did, even though some people seem to have better ideas regarding what it did than others, so that likely gives better ideas for where we might be going too.. .even though many of us recognize and appreciate that ONLY so much weight can be given to historical price movements in regards to being able to get some ideas for what might be in store in the future.. .and surely dangerous to be putting too many eggs (or hopes) into one basket (one view of what might end up happening, when it hasn't happened, yet). I highly agree with you that the bull run isn't a guaranteed event but it's our expectations that it will happen. Yeah, in the initial stage the bull run starts with slow pumps but over time it gets more intense. I also agree that sometimes we really can't detect the initial stages of a bull run because the ups and downs are so unpredictable in the initial stages. I believe this time something will also trigger the bull run to intense levels. The previous bull run began its intense levels in November-December 2019 and initially it started around April to June 2019 like you said. Yes, if we see the next bull run then it will be easier for us to say something about it. But, surely someone of the expectations will be met once the bull run starts. I believe that this bull run will help Bitcoin and the whole crypto-market if it happens. Those who have good ideas about Bitcoin and its price levels are among the learned ones I guess because they really know the importance of Bitcoin and appreciate every move of Bitcoin with positive mindset. The Bitcoin has made history for first time when its price went to $1k plus in 2013 ATH, and it made history again when its price went to $19k plus during 2017 ATH, and it made history once again when its price went to $68k plus during 2022 ATH, and now it will make another history when its price moves to ATH in next 2 years with intense bull run. I expect that in October-December 2025 Bitcoin's ATH will take place. I may be wrong but my expectations are really positive about it. |

First Bitcoin shouldn't be taken as a guaranteed short term profits investment, since Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset and pricing not guarantee to continue in a particular direction, so Bitcoin should be best taken as a long term investment that is why most Bitcoin holder take Bitcoin hodling as a long term journey and to achieve a successful hodling you need to allocate a 5 year holding plans before you set out for it.
I believe this time it won't take 5 years to earn some good profits from Bitcoin holding. Since we all know that the next halving event will take place in 6-7 months from now and after that event the pre-bull run may start and within 1-2 years from the date of halving we can expect another all time high. So by keeping that thing in our mind we can safely say that 2 years is going to be enough time on holding for most people who want to earn some good profits from Bitcoin investment. However, I still agree with you with that long term investment point. Those who can hold their Bitcoin investment for 1 decade or two can earn substantial profits from their investment. |

I recommend you to forget about other crypto-currencies and learn about Bitcoin instead because Bitcoin is the only crypto-currency that won't disappoint you. You can learn everything about Bitcoin by visiting Bitcoin discussion and other boards related to Bitcoin on this forum.
In fact, Bitcoin is considered the most reliable and secure in the entire crypto currency market. Newbies should always learn about Bitcoin first, because Bitcoin is dominating the entire crypto currency market. Their fluctuations lead to the volatility of all crypto currencies. So people who understand Bitcoin well can easily earn profit in other coins as well. Investing in Bitcoin is good but we cannot ignore other good and strong project based coins in the market. It cannot be denied that people have made huge profits in altcoins as well. You can take the example of the last bull season, where coins like Solana, Matic Dot, BNB, Gala, Sand, Mana have given people huge profits. Investing in Ethereum, which is the second top currency after Bitcoin, has also seen people earn fantastic returns. So I think it would be unfair to forget other crypto currencies. Therefore, newbies must take interest in other coins in the market. Yes, Bitcoin is, it was, and it will remain the most reliable and trusted crypto=currency in the whole crypto-market. In fact I believe that the whole market exists because of Bitcoin only. I always recommend newbies to learn about Bitcoin because it's the only crypto-currency that won't disappoint them. Although, I won't deny the fact that many of the altcoins gave huge profits to the investors in previous bull run, but so many investors have lost a lot of money due to some altcoins like Terra Luna, TerraUSD, and FTT token. The investors who invest in altcoins are always at risk of loosing everything, and if someone really don't want to lose money then the only safest and most trust-worthy option is Bitcoin. |

Oh, I meant that anyone is allow to submit either digital or physical artworks, or a combination of both. So those from pen and pencils are welcomed as well!
Great to hear that and now I'll also participate in this amazing contest. Thanks for confirmation and I recommend you to update the OP so that all type of physical artists will also participate in the contest. |

The more you guys talk about the details including how many percent might be a sufficient threshold, the more it seems to be not broken the way that it is, and also Jimbo made a good point about buddy still providing interesting data because it is showing the the walls.
So why be fucking around with a good thing merely because some members seem to not know how to use a scroll wheel.
Fair enough I agree with you. Although it's not a problem for many users of the thread and surely a few people find it interesting to have awareness about the price of the Bitcoin by looking at the charts that our beloved Buddy generates. Let's stick with the old school method of scrolling wheel to avoid multiple charts of Buddy! If I'm not wrong then we are still at least 10-14 months away from the next bull run. Although, the halving event will take within next 7-8 months but still the bull run may need some more time to start. I'm in firm belief that history will repeat itself once again this time. |
