Once again governments being shortsighted instead trying to get as many people as possible to keep their money in the country and report their tax. Since I couldn't find it in the article, I am curious what was the previous %, before this 30% flat tax?


Probably. And then people will try to find other ways to dodge paying.

The more I see situation around the world, the more I appreciate my country stance on crypto as over here (Croatia) our crypto tax is 10%, which goes to 0 if you can hold it for 2 years.

Are there any hardware wallets that actually ask you to do something like that in any circumstances? If yes, then that's a very dangerous thing to have. So far I've been using only Ledger and the only way to enter seed phrase was directly using the device and not via Ledger Live app so if any message like that pop up, Ledger users should know that it is a fake. Not that it would stop some people entering seed anyway.


This shows that you aren't 100% safe even if you know what you are doing (its safe to assume that person in question knew considering his experience). Since this guy wasn't anonymous, I don't think that this was just some random attack and instead he was targeted which is a different thing than just clicking on some malware link and losing your bitcoin that way. Then again, smart people can do stupid things so maybe this was a brainfart.

Since local board overview is mainly aimed at the members of that specific board, there's no reason to keep it in Meta. This was unique situation since Nigerians didn't have their own board and this topic served as another argument that they do deserve one so creating it initially in Meta made sense. Now that goal is achieved, there's no need for that anymore.

Voted for moving this topic to a Nigerian local board as I think that's more appropriate place. After all, members of others board that are doing similar overviews (myself included) are sharing these in their own local boards, not Meta.

I don't think that Laszlo Hanyecz (the guy who bought pizza with bitcoin) should be in the group of people who were in doubt of bitcoin, or that is the reason he got rid of it easily. If anything, he is one of the very first adopters as he actually used bitcoin for buying something tangible (and what's more tangible than food) proving that it is a real money. Without those who were using huge amount of bitcoin for now seemingly insignificant stuff, 99% of  us would never hear about bitcoin and would not be here today.

I just checked Wayback Machine and the first snapshot of the page goes all the way back to Augsut 2018 when there was some kind of bitcoin equipment store on that domain, meaning they obviously bought it later on (the first working snapshot with them goes back to April 2022).

Not that all of this is very important anyway as they didn't claim to be operating more than they can prove, which would be a red flag.

Don't waste your time feeling sorry and thinking "what if" and instead focus on acquiring bitcoin. You probably won't get filthy rich, but for sure its not too late to buy now, especially since current price is far from all time high.

I did similar mistake back in early 2014, thinking (wrongly of course) that I was too late and instead buying 0.1 bitcoin I spent few hundreds of dollars on shitcoins instead. Fortunately, later on i realized my mistake but I never look back thinking about it (unless I see posts like yours) and instead I feel fortunate that I am buying bitcoin on the regular basis in the last 6 years which proved to be a very good move.

Recimo netko ti uvali laznu novcanicu i ti sa njom odes u ducan i tamo skuze, pozvat ce policiju koja ce te odvesti u stanicu (nece te uhititi naravno, samo razgovor da naprave zapisnik) koja ce te onda dalje ispitati od koga si primio te novcanicu, da li ih imas jos etc, te ako si im sumnjiv onda ide i pretres stana i daljnja procedura. Uglavnom, ako si cist ne bi trebao najebati.

U ovom razdoblju prilagodbe ja jednostavno forsiram kartice i bok, i onda se ne moram misliti dal ce mi netko probati uvaliti laznu. Dok nasi svuda ne nabave uredjaje za testiranje koji su norma vani.

That's why I thought that SBF might plead guilty, seeing that chances of him being acquitted after those two pleading guilty are slim to none. You are right though, it may be a part of the tactic as I read that by pleading not guilty his case enters discovery process so his lawyers can take a look at all the evidence they have against him and then later try to get a deal.

Considering all the bullshit that he was publicly saying about not doing anything wrong + two (at least) witnesses against him, going for a trial would be a stupid move imho. Anyway, still plenty of time left until October 2nd when trial should start.

I see absolutely no point thinking about what you could have/should have done more than a decade ago as it won't do you any good. The same goes for all those articles during bull run with titles such "if you spent $100 on bitcoin 12 years ago now you would have xyz millions". The only thing that it achieves is newbies investing in altcoins instead of bitcoin, thinking that they are too late while they should focus on getting bitcoin now.

After his closest buddies Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang pleaded guilty, SBF decided to go another route and pleaded not guilty on all charges. Bold move I must admit, after those two pleading guilty.

Voted for "There will be a continuation of the bearish trend and a new bottom" as I don't think we are at the bottom yet but not far from it as well. Everyone expects that bitcoin do its things like in previous cycles, but this is the first time in its existence that it may go through recession so recovery and new all time high might take a longer time than before. Then again, I've been consistently wrong in my pessimistic predictions so hopefully it will be the same this time.

Either way, I have no intentions waiting for possible bottom and instead I've been adding more bitcoin on every salary.

Its perfectly normal to have somewhat lower accuracy when you first start reporting, especially before you get the access to report history (you get that after 300 good reports) as it gets easier to figure out bad reports if you report in bulk.
If you want to reach those 300 good reports asap, probably the best place for that is altcoin board due sheer amount of shitposts there.

Sto se tice onog contesta, tko zeli pratiti situaciju moze to napraviti ovdje (Loyce updejta na dnevnoj bazi). Od nasih, slackovic je trenutno na odlicnom drugom mjestu ( i jako blizu prvom), casperBGD takodjer nije los na 8. a ne daleko od njega su Trofo i cryptofrka na 11. i 12. mjestu.
Svi mi koji smo imali veliki postotak u stablecoinima smo za sada na dnu (ja sam 32. od 41) a nadam se da ce tako i zavrsiti contest jer bi to znacilo da godina i nije tako losa bila

Everyone (and by everyone I mean all members who are capable of writing a coherent sentence) already have the opportunity to make more than a couple of bucks per week as there's more spots in signature campaigns than there are solid members so even shitposters are capable of making $200-$300 per month.


You don't think that's not exactly what scammers are doing anyway, after they get negative tag? Of course they make a new account to continue scamming so banning them wouldn't make then any more dangerous than they are now.

As for me, I would like to see forum being more open to creating few more local boards (Pakistan for sure and eventually Bangladesh) as I don't really see a downsides of that.

Yep, it was pretty obvious how this story will end up, even though we gave them benefit of doubt at first with that jackpot bs but it didn't take them long to actually start scamming people.


If there was any doubt who was behind the winner account now there isn't. 


I kinda expected OP to create one but since he didn't here it is, flag type 1 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3077

I just wanted to point out the small mistake as SBF paid O'Leary $15 million for his services and not $1.5 million. That's the amount he claims the he lost in SBF, even though based on one of his interviews (can't find it now) he actually didn't lose everything.

If you follow this forum for a long time, then you should have be prepared for some tough questions without losing your composure, like you did.


As seen in the screenshot below, you made three posts in a row, from which last two were deleted while the first one is still there so I have no idea what are you talking about. And yes, all posts written in that topic are archived, you can see them here https://ninjastic.space/topic/5432564.0

As I said, your post was deleted because it was consecutive one (and that is against forum rules as well, see rule nr 33), not because what you wrote. You could have simply edit your last post and include your reply to him instead creating new topic claiming that you are censored. My advice to you is to lock this one and continue discussion dkbit98's topic, this time following rules.

Regarding his accusation, it wouldn't be a first time that someone creates an army of sock puppet accounts to shill their business. I am not saying that's the case here, but we've seen it many times before. And yes, people were that stupid.

No one is scared here, your post was deleted because you broke one of the OP's rules, more specifically the one about consecutive posting. Next time just edit your last post if you forgot to reply.

If you are into it for a long run, the best time to buy bitcoin is always now. Less experienced will try to time the market and buy the bottom (which is impossible anyway unless you are very lucky) which usually results in paying more (speaking from personal experience btw) while in reality its best to start buying now, and eventually use DCA so you are not so affected with price volatility and more importantly you get the habit of buying bitcoin.
