Dude, the masses hated bitcoin/crypto since forever. Even in bull markets, the mass consensus is that bitcoin/crypto is a scam/bubble/tulipmania or whatever they wanted to call it. It's just ever so slightly worse right now due to FTX.

In summary, it's pretty much just a permanent database that's add-only and doesn't remove away any data. Compared to a typical database where you can remove/delete data.

I wonder if there's a chance they all faked their death to escape their "fame" and live a life of decent luxury off some of their wealth (a few million $ is more than enough to comfortably live off and maintain an anonymity).

Dying in your sleep was a leading cause of death in the UK for the 20-40 age group until a few years ago iirc (unrelated to excess drugs or alcohol consumption - I think it accounted for about 1 in 100 000 20-40 year olds).



It didn't say where the plane crash landed though (unless I missed a citation). I could imagine it'd be easy to go completely missing in places like Russia and China if you have the funds to make it happen (or aren't liked by the regimes).


Some of these "deaths" can definitely be very fishy depending on what situation they're in before their "deaths", but yea — in the end we're just speculating without much facts to back up the theories.

Various conspiracy theories aside — not sure what's so special about this? People die all the time of random causes, and yes — including billionaires.

What's the problem, specifically? Seems like a new service created in October 2022. Can't say for sure if it's legit or not, but it's definitely quite new.
2426  Economy / Speculation / Re: December Has always Proved to Be a Good Month For Cryptocurrency industry on: December 01, 2022, 10:03:51 AM
Something something past performance is not indicative of future results. Also, December of 2021 was a down month. Pretty much only 2020 was the only good December concerning price since the past few years.
2427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Casino on: December 01, 2022, 09:25:23 AM
Can you at least tell us what specific crypto casino service? There are literally dozens and dozens of gambling platforms out there.

I personally use NitrogenSports(now NitroBetting) and haven't had problems ever since besides the crappy UI on mobile.
2428  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My gut is telling me that I am missing a part here on: December 01, 2022, 05:40:11 AM
Take a quick look at the actual definition of "decentralized". People frequently mix up the words "decentralization" and "non-custodial". A lot of people here call non-custodial wallets such as MetaMask and Electrum "decentralized" even though they're not actually decentralized but only non-custodial(which is totally fine).

But regardless, Binance P2P is neither decentralized nor non-custodial. Definitely not everything P2P is decentralized.
2429  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to send BTC to BInance from cold storage on: December 01, 2022, 05:25:45 AM
Are there any big fees for it? i have downloaded exodus wallet , but there are asking 12pharse words. but we only have private key. so what is that differnace?

Use Electrum wallet (electrum.org) instead. More options for importing wallets, and it's a better Bitcoin wallet altogether despite the old school UI.
2430  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why Mostly Betting Platforms promote their Website through Signature Compaign? on: November 30, 2022, 05:19:21 AM
It's because as far as I know, betting/gambling platforms aren't available for paid platform advertisement through most social media sites. Hence, betting/gambling platforms are stuck with other more 'obscure' advertising funnels such as the likes of paying influencers, etc.
2431  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: electrum wallet got hacked, 5 years of bitcoin gone on: November 30, 2022, 05:04:35 AM
1. Stop being careless and invest money in a hardware wallet

2. Stop opening random files

3. Report it to the authorities

4. There's a 99.9% chance that your funds are totally gone. Let this be a very important (and expensive) lesson to take security very seriously, especially when talking about long-term investments
2432  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Where can I buy BTC by cash without the hassle of KYC in Metro Manila? on: November 30, 2022, 04:17:27 AM
Try looking for exchangers on social media(Facebook), then talk to them and ask them to meetup on a very safe location such as a well-secured mall, or in a well-known bank.
2433  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase Wallet will stop supporting BCH, ETC, XLM and XRP on: November 30, 2022, 04:02:48 AM
A heads up: I'm pretty sure the platform in question is Coinbase Wallet — their non-custodial wallet app, not the main Coinbase exchange app. As far as I know this is pretty much just a change in the front-end UI — as anyone can simply export the private key then import them to a wallet that supports these trash coins.
2434  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Here is my personal solana TA analysis and opinion about SOL on: November 30, 2022, 03:51:16 AM
SOL is oversold(imo) because it's heavily affiliated with FTX/Alameda. It doesn't deserve the #18 spot in my opinion, taking note that chains that have far less activity has higher marketcaps(XRP, ADA, etc).

It's slightly justifiable though, knowing that FTX/Alameda has a good chunk of SOL. There are fears of liquidation obviously.
2435  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Can We Consider This Casino An Industry Giant In Marketing Here In Bitcointalk on: November 29, 2022, 04:28:00 PM
$7230

Obviously I don't know Duelbits' financials(and how big/small the platform is), but gambling platforms in general makes a good amount of money; so I'm going to assume $7k is probably just spare change.
2436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Adoption Will Increase 50% above Its current level in the coming Year on: November 29, 2022, 03:36:35 PM
Yeah and that is why Bitcoin becomes the best alternative, PayPal or wired transfer are all centralized method which have some restriction, but with Bitcoin all a user need is the wallet and the private keys to receive payments.

This make bitcoin unique as a financial tool!

It's the best outside of stablecoins if both PayPal and wire transfers(and probably other money transfer platforms) are restricted. Majority of people will simply not see the importance of bitcoin/crypto if they don't become censored(one way or another) themselves.
2437  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is there best way to seek people's attention on bitcoin? on: November 29, 2022, 03:14:43 PM
Just casually mention Bitcoin, then explain it thoroughly but briefly if they actually asked and was curious about it. You don't need to shove Bitcoin down people's throats.
2438  Other / Off-topic / Re: Reuters Report: Crypto among highest-growing topics on twitter on: November 29, 2022, 03:00:53 PM
Hard to not expect crypto to be a high-growing topic on Twitter(or any other social media platform) knowing how big the FTX/Alameda/BlockFi/etc debacle was in the broader markets.
2439  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Is there good wallet decentralized app ? on: November 29, 2022, 12:46:42 PM
Probably the only 'truly' decentralized wallet we have today is Bitcoin Core, along with probably Electrum due to it's diverse contributors. Maybe you're looking for something non-custodial and open-source, rather than actually decentralized? Because a wallet not being decentralized is totally fine.

Also, I don't think it's possible to have a decentralized wallet and have a debit card connected.

YouTubers can't be trusted.

With most, yes — but not all. Lots and lots of great content on YouTube; you just have to find the needle in the haystack. It's mostly the YouTubers that do interviews than those sort of "coin reviews" who put out good content.
