From what I know, some years ago the crypto coins were considered commodities, but the tokens were already seen as securities.
Also, since she agreed with this fine, there will be no lawsuit on the matter, which could touch this problem.

What I find more interesting is that, from what I've read, she was telling "it's not a financial advice" in that advert, still, it looks like that part was somehow ignored/downplayed, which is imho concerning.

The selling of resources is a fake problem. The real problem is the lack of education. If education would be at high levels then there would be more factories and enterprises that would help selling everything with a significant added value.
There are too few countries that improve their citizens' life for real with money from selling the resources. On the other hand, if a certain level of education is reached, people can earn better and can also elect smarter government.

COVID should no longer produce significant loses.

On the other hand, the loses caused by the energy war (derived from the Russia vs Ukraine war) may be still in a rather early phase and we will see after many more months how long is this going to go (I expect years to adjust infrastructure and prices) and how many companies will have to close doors at least for the winter.

I expect the war's full impact, especially as coming after COVID, will be exponentially bigger.

Avand in vedere ca nu s-a ocupat inca nimeni, am mai adaugat o raportare, poate o fi cu noroc.


Bine ai revenit!  

Daca La Copac e ce am gasit pe net, sper sa stai pe acolo macar pana in primavara.
Cei $20k.. nu stiu, daca nu a ingropat nimeni vreo ulcea cu galbeni la radacina Copacului, o sa dureze ceva pana-i strangi  

1. You've come with quite a number of topics. While it can be indeed the big picture on the recession that may be about to start, it can attract a lot of trolls, especially on the last point.

2. Indeed, Twitter is full "Credit Suisse is about to fall" and some unsettling news on China too. And the "perfect storm" needs more points to start from. However, while you added the war as an important point, the energy war that's also going on seems to be missing, although it's most probably the main cause for some of the problems listed.

3. The energy war that came after the COVID crisis made the inflation go over the roof. Well, the politicians' actions as answer to those events/threats has created the inflation, but this is where we stand now. BoE is just one of the many that will have to step in and do something while they still can; I don't see it as part of the recession, I see it part of the patching that's going on everywhere in a desperate attempt to prevent what's worse.

Any translated book has this problem. If one wants to have a good chance for this, he should pick a widely published writing that was originally written in English.
Of course, if you have 100 books in your (non-EN) mother tongue and one in English, that may pretty much stand out...

My advice is to start with reading much more about bitcoin. No offense, but you seem to need that.
As said, the blockchain doesn't tell anything about wallets, also a "new" address is not registered anywhere, so nobody knows (except the owner) that it's created.

And if you have missed this, I expect you'd be missing other info too, getting you into various mistakes or even paying big money for a cloud service that won't help you.
So: learn more, it may save you money.

I don't know if you'll find a HW that allows importing private key, I've never heard of such behavior for them (but you can give time, maybe others know).

I recommend you take a look onto Tails OS. It's an OS you can easily install onto an USB stick, it contains Electrum (and since you'll take care to always use it offline it should be OK, or you can download Electrum AppImage if you want to be extra sure). It's not a HW, it's a cold storage, you may need to give it some time to learn it, but it should be just fine for your needs.

I expect that many of the hackers don't think that far. They hope they'll be able to sell before "the world" figures it out and start tracking them.
Or some may even do this to prove their skills and don't expect to get such big money, hence they have no idea/plan what to do next (and may never sell).

After the tracking is on, yep, P2P and DEX are their main choices, although I expect some smaller crypto-to-crypto exchanges may also not be strict in KYC requirements.

Well, at least Russell has deserved a penalty too, tbh. And if Leclerc would have been to deserve victory, he should have been overtake Checo. He was close, but was unable to do the step.
So, it could have been different, but Checo did deserve the win.

While it's nice to provide various solutions like this I will throw some ideas:
1. There's no universal solution. Some will prefer to "scramble" the words in a way or another, some will keep them as they are. Keep in mind that you're complicating an existing solution and this can easily get the funds lost.
2. Keep in mind that if we can read and find inspiration in your solution(s), the potential thieves also can do so.
3.
3.1. The index-in-a-book solution is not original, it's present even in novels and movies (last one I've seen was a Sherlock movie).
3.2. The git solution is imho overly complicated. Encryption with a long password and upload to cloud under an inoffensive name would not be significantly different: it's only you who knows the logic of retrieval.

I would avoid this kind of solution. Indeed, this makes the words hidden from thieves, but it also makes them hidden from friends and family. If an accident/trauma or a disease gets a bitcoiner into memory loss, he will no longer be able to recover his money, and nobody close to him would also be able to do so. For some this is a real problem, some choose to not care. Again, it depends from person to person.

I'd guess that if he tells more he will end up with some more negative feedback...
This way he keeps an air of secrecy and maybe some fool jumps in.

While it has occurred to me in the past that this kind of shenanigans may be happening, I'd be expecting somebody would do this for himself (for another account of himself), not as service. But yep, never say never.
However, I'd expect such people be lazy, hence won't make such long, and complicated posts many don't even know what's being asked and how to answer. Plus, there are other, more generic topics (like the never old QC) they can pull, not such specific, mostly Ledger related topics.

Interesant!! Nu stiu cum se face ca cele mai tari concursuri apar cand eu sunt pe drum pe undeva, si tind sa se si umple/ocupe repede.
Multumesc ca l-ai anuntat aici, am intrat cand am vazut postarea, abia acum apuc sa si raspund aici.
Bafta sa avem!


Multumesc, danke, thank you! Superb concursul si foarte interesante premiile! Si multumesc ca acceptati si din afara vorbitorilor de germana!
Nu am scris acolo ca decat sa scriu gresit in germana, mai bine ma abtin (desi am vazut ca lumea a "invadat" cu engleza acolo).

You can go to this page and search for 50002.
Shortly, T means TCP, S means TLS. The thing is that TCP is by default on 50001 and TLS is by default on 50002.
However, from what I see in your other answer I think that EPS may not actually be running or may not be expecting connections, and that's what you have to fix first in order to be abler to connect.


Sorry, I don't know how to do that. I tried working with EPS and found out to be too restrictive for my liking and gave it up.
I remember that I've also tried to use it with Sparrow wallet and that one gave better hints/error messages (than Electrum).
What I have installed was Electrs, even made a full tutorial for it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5367296
But on EPS, sorry, my knowledge is rather limited. Maybe others give you better hints.

Danke!!

This is not meant to tell Bitcoin doesn't consume. It does. This was meant to compare with things closer to the American "average Joe", so it doesn't look as scarily huge like <insert country name here>'s total consumption (where industry consumption may or may not have a major role).
Of course, you are not wrong, but there is the volume comparison and there is the utility comparison. It looked interesting to me as volume (while you've discussed the utility). However, if this is not useful, no biggie.

PS. The consumption per transaction is a bullshit metric and maybe that should be debunked/explained too (but not to me and in terms a non-bitcoiner can understand).

I've read today something that may be of help.
It's a comparison between Bitcoin consumption and others' (US fridges, US electricity transmission/distribution loses). It can help to show Bitcoin doesn't consume that much electricity.

He tells at start of interview "I'm Vlad from Bitcoin Takeover", the website is BTCTKVR, the article is signed by Vlad and bitcointalk username (Vlad BTCTKVR) is older than the article. It looks good enough to me.


While I was not convinced by the article (sorry), I've been listening to some parts of the interview (will probably listen to all of it later today) and I can say that although I don't agree with everything he says, it was very interesting. The actual interview is at https://youtu.be/9mdTS_Gyg7o

There are plenty of options, although if I'm thinking they are possible they're not really black swans.

* WW3
* official recession in USA and/or Eurozone
* financial problems in China and possible contagion to EU/US
* outbreak of yet another disease (cholera in UKR or RU? polio in UK?)
* civil war in Iran

Plus, in crypto world, I would not rule out:
* yet another DeFi hack or bankruptcy
* legal problems for Tether or Ripple

PS. ETH price falling as a result of going PoS is not a black swan. The only unexpected part was long ago, when they agreed they go PoS.
