Those who witnessed the FTX scam, and even more so the victims, learned a good lesson for the future: not to trust the exchanges. We have seen in the news that recently, after the collapse of the exchange, users have withdrawn more than 172,700 BTC to their noncustodial wallets in a month. This indicates that the exchanges are losing trust, and it is likely that many will become more aware of the concept of the expression "not your keys, not your money."
Today we see newcomers thinking about privacy issues, but in my opinion, you can't achieve privacy in just one day. There are so many flags that we may have left in the past on the Internet, and today, history may be difficult to remove.

I can speak from my own experience. When I was a newbie, I had absolutely no idea who was who on the forum. Later, while searching for scams on the forum, I discovered the nicknames of other people who were also engaged in this activity; these were the first people I regularly read. Further, while staying on the forum, I began to understand people, and an understanding of the real interests of users came. I think you understand what I'm getting at.
It takes some experience to evaluate users properly, and that takes time. If voting will accept all users, are you really sure that they know who is being voted for? I agree that some people have quickly gained 50 merits, but on average, it takes a long time to gain merits, and during this time, we see users who are already familiar with the forum.
Even now, there are those who vote for someone who is completely unrelated to the occupation in which he is ranked.

What are we seeing? Again, Windows systems and the Chrome browser Everyone is strongly advised to start studying Linux systems and not to trust this browser and, even more, various extensions that supposedly simplify the work on the Internet.

What this guy is doing is crazy. But to believe that your money is somewhere out there is sadomasochism. He dug through a bunch of garbage, but he was left with nothing. I think he should have just felt sorry for his mental health.
Many of us have probably lost something in our lives that we deeply regret. It all depends on the person; someone will say "to hell with him" and live on, and someone else will spend their money on searching, getting into an even bigger ass.
By the way, everyone who wants to grieve can also start crying, since the knowledge that you could buy bitcoin at the very beginning is tantamount to losing James Howells.

If you are wondering, then yes, I have children, but they are few. We are working on it. Does this really surprise you?
Another question that amuses me a lot is how many women we have on the forum. I see LoyceV, o_e_l_e_o, Rikafip, and even Theymos on the lists.
I wonder what these users who have made their choice want to say. A sign of recognition in this form?


In terms of the best reporters, the topic on reporters will provide you with a visual evaluation of at least two users who have broken every conceivable and unthinkable record.

I think that for bitcoin itself, fiat is unimportant, as noted above. But for us, unfortunately, fiat is still needed since bitcoin is not widely accepted everywhere, and we cannot use it fully when trading various goods. In my country, there is a strict law that prohibits the use of bitcoin. Therefore, I am forced to exchange it for fiat in cases where I need to purchase something.

If a casino prohibits users from visiting its site, changing the IP address and even the DNS may not always help.
Pmalek is absolutely right that changing the IP address will only help if the user has never violated the rules of the casino. In all other cases, such sites have an anti-fraud system that includes many means of detecting fraudulent actions on the part of customers, in particular, user fingerprints. And it's not just about changing the IP. Anyone who wants to return to the casino after its ban will have to work hard to bypass the anti-fraud system.

Oh, what are you talking about? Musk is a smart person and knows what he's doing. Not a single "holy place" will remain empty. Instead of some good employees, the best will come. Twitter needed a movement with its politics for a long time, and finally, it began. I am sure that there is already a queue for vacancies; the old army must go after their leaders.
Trump's account has been unlocked, which clearly shows that Musk has a completely different vision of the policies that the old leadership adhered to.

I agree with the OP; everything has its cycles. Black stripes are necessarily replaced by white ones. The same will happen with bitcoin. I like such motivational themes aimed at believing in the future. Especially for beginners who come here and do not always correctly assess the state of affairs. There will always be alarmists who want to create a lot of drama, but I would prefer people who, despite everything, do not give up and believe.

The thought that this shouldn't be posted here. Move your discussion to
Altcoin Discussion https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0

It's a little surprising that you're summing up the year in November, although you probably know better. It is also very pleasant to read that you are a purposeful person with a positive attitude toward the future. As for the plans, I think it would be the right choice to buy bitcoin; the rest of the coins are for risk-takers. No matter what, Bitcoin remains the leader, and if we talk about what has been or will be, it always remains the center of attention for those who own it.

This malware is downloaded after a user installs an extension in their browser. Therefore, the best solution for your security would be to use the Firefox browser, abandon the Chrome browser, and also not make a Christmas tree out of your browser by installing a lot of extensions. When installing the desired extension, you must consider the number of users who installed it as well as the time the extension was created. If it is very new, then you should be careful, and it is better not to install it.
The installation of Linux systems is the icing on the cake for anyone who wants to better protect their computer from most malware. This advice can be given to anyone who is beginning to be interested in cryptocurrencies for parallel study.

Although this is just my personal opinion, I would feel sorry for your nephew. Give him a ball and let him go play football with his friends. Knowledge about bitcoin does not take much time; you can explain everything to him when he gets older. But God, I see a blackboard and a teacher, and someone standing with a movie camera. Made me laugh. It is clear why these photos were taken. For an eleven-year-old child, it also takes practice to captivate him. Does the child have pocket money? My son usually spends them on his games, sweets, and other needs that are interesting to him at his age. Knowing from experience, children rarely agree to save for an extended period of time. But your nephew will eventually need to experience everything firsthand. Will he be able to buy himself a certain amount of bitcoins in order to fully feel like a young investor?

To me this sounds a bit confusing. If a person is afraid of losing the passphrase, that is, if he understands his fears, then what is he worried about? What does he do in ordinary life? He does his best to protect what is important to him. Finally, if three archives of saving his phrases are not enough for the paranoid, he will make thirty-three. I mean, if we understand the danger, then we can prepare and protect ourselves.
I still think the OP has some translation difficulties. Because centralized slavery, as the OP puts it, will in no way ensure the loss of what a person personally owns.

I think Obari has his reasons and vision for the post, as he posted it here. If you look closely, you will see that he edited it several times. And, of course, the first source was gratitude to CryptopreneurBrainboss.
Brainboss deserves a lot of respect, and I'm sure Obari will experience it with us.
By the way, Obari, sincere congratulations on your promotion. I have no doubt that soon we will see you as a Full Member, and we will celebrate, too. You are moving well; don't stop.

I have a question, what if an old topic is raised and a discussion starts, and users actively quote the OP giving a targeted answer to his post, don't people see the date the thread was created?

I'm talking about this topic. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5397790.0

Looks like she's getting another wave of spam. The question is always relevant, but people's answers look like a conversation with the void. Whoever created this thread has been blocked. Some dumb newbie recently brought up some old threads and all the users gleefully started pushing them further, completely oblivious to the date of the first post. I complained several times about necroposting, but posts are being deleted selectively.
Does the forum need such topics? And how do we stop their discussion? Is it fair to complain about someone who quotes the author, knowing full well that quite a lot of time has passed? Is anyone interested in answers to a question that was asked a very long time ago?

Wonderful. Your answer made me laugh heartily . In addition to what you said, Elon fires the entire staff and then warns everyone that the forum is on the verge of ruin and orders everyone to work harder. KYC will also be introduced for verification, and alternative accounts will come to an end. As a result, users will massively move to another new forum, which will become like today's but without Elon Musk's rules. (As is happening now with Twitter users.)
But seriously speaking, I think that Musk has really great opportunities, and he can afford to buy any toy. There is nothing in this world that is not for sale. Another question is whether Musk needs it. As long as he has Twitter and Musk is trying to make it what he wants, I think other purchases will not be interesting.

OP, you don't have to worry about deleting your posts. If the moderators haven't removed them yet, then your writing style and your posts haven't attracted any reporters, and no one has complained about you. Should you be worried in this case? I also deleted a lot of my posts that were previously in bounty threads. As a beginner, I mistakenly took up bounties and posted a bunch of reports that I later deleted from my history. Bounty reports are littering the forum, and we advise anyone who has them to delete them. Let everything else remain in the history of the forum.

Lie again. Having created your nickname, the forum will definitely inform you that such a name already exists. That's why you fixed it and added a space. There is no need to invent anything; such coincidences cannot exist. You came to the forum with a purpose, and soon, I think, we will find it out. A newbie who is interested in the issue of a ban on the forum somehow does not look like a real newbie.
Do not consider yourself smarter; we have seen a lot of stories from scammers.
