2521  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Cryptopia Claims Portal Registration on: September 26, 2021, 05:48:35 PM
They might be trying to fool us again and I receive the email last December. No one will trust any words from them again and I'm sure they need something from us like personal documents or they might ask to deposit a little to withdraw your old funds just like other scam exchange do.

As much as I remember, only the deposit/withdrawals history is what they are asked for on the forms.

If it leads to submitting personal documents or sending an amount to withdrawal, obviously we should not entertain it. And the fact that it now takes 9 months since we got that email with no progress from there, just makes me think if there's really an ongoing development on the issue. I know it takes time but progress should at least be given within half a year.
What's troubling me is the fact that it's asking some kind of verification questions, it's something pretty simple such as the registration date, which can obviously be found on your email, if you search your emailing history. No matter what I did, I couldn't sign up to their claims portal. I'm not sure if it's an effort to steal personal data, but it really frustrated me that despite my efforts, I highly doubt that I entered something wrong.
2522  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Did you suffer any side effects from the Covid-19 vaccine? on: September 26, 2021, 05:00:44 PM
I haven't been vaccinated but my brother and father (whom is already senior citizen) did. My father experienced his body and muscles getting weakened and he feels dizzy at first. The second day he is still weak but his health improved a little and after that he's okay. As for my brother at first inject he only experienced weakening on his body, nevertheless they're fine now. My father and brother didn't suffer much from jhonson vaccine. Thankfully they didn't collapsed or something.
The Johnson is more likely to cause such side effects, some co-workers of mine faced them and took the day off. That's the main reason I did Pfizer, but as I said, I suffered some mild headache and fever the day after the second dose.
2523  Other / Politics & Society / Covid-19 Vaccine side effects on: September 26, 2021, 03:00:06 PM
As a part of an academic project, I'm working on recording any side effects that might have occured, during any of the two vaccination doses. I believed that I'd receive more feedback here rather than my Facebook profile, so I decided to make a poll.

It would be interesting to also note which vaccine you received and a brief description of what you faced. Personally, I only had some mild fever only during the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, which lasted a few hours at most.

I'd also like to see if any of us here faced any of the rare severe side effects, such as a blood clot, which mostly occured with the AstraZeneca vaccine.
2524  Economy / Economics / Re: How has inflation affected your savings and investing? on: September 26, 2021, 02:24:18 PM
Inflation hasn't really affected me directly, I've mostly noticed it in the supermarket and in fuel. It's quite irritating, the same 6 pack of water bottles costed 1.40€ or 1.50€ a year ago, was now bought at 1.68€. Simple everyday shopping has gone up, I've got plenty of examples to present.

On terms of investing now, I'm not directly affected due to me refraining from using my own salary for investments. I prefer DeFi and not trading anymore. Personally, I use signature campaign earnings and cryptocurrency for investing.

I'm quite new to DeFi projects and do not have much experience. I've only used the Binance network so far, but I'm intrigued to try Polygon soon. I'm mostly investing in Stable LPs, and I've noticed that Polygon offers a wider variety of vaults, while few of those offer higher yield results.
2526  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Taking loan to trade is a risky task on: September 26, 2021, 05:39:34 AM
I would never trade or gamble with money that isn't solely mine. Shit happens and then you'll be unable to pay back the loan, if you don't have your own money, it's best not to trade at all. Trading is extremely risky itself, but doing it with borrowed money takes it to another level of risk.

You'll eventually lose a trade or two, you'll get greedy and who knows what your next moves might be.

The reason these platforms have increased in popularity is that it is Jewtube policy to dis-allow ANY content which would discourage the goyim from becoming what Psaki referrers to as 'marked' by the gene therapy jab.  The factual accuracy of the content is not a factor.  Jewtube is good enough for cat vids and all manners of pro-jab propaganda from the celebrity doctors that you like so much, but for real information it is useless.

Here's a good article from a reliable source

https://www.britannica.com/list/the-top-covid-19-vaccine-myths-spreading-online

Read it and calm down. Don't worry, the world is not so evil as you think. Normally, evil is ignorance and that's why evil people rarely make it to the celebrity doctors.

There's no such thing as a reliable source for anti-vaxxers, no matter what information they are presented with, they won't believe a single sentence. Instead, they'll simply reply with a post from some stupid blogspot website or YouTube video of some random guy, "debunking" all scientists involved in the pandemic and the development of vaccines.

The britannica.com material is text-book 'fact-check' nonsense targeting very low-functioning people.  I've seen all these techniques before ('debunking' something that people are not saying is a big one.)  I'm not in the low-functioning category and the material is a joke.


You're just proving my point, although, you didn't post any links from those so-called websites you anti-vaxxers read, that's surprising. The Britannica article has all its sources hyperlinked already in the text, however, I don't see you proving anything you're claiming. You're only capable of flaming other users that aren't supporting your non-existent claims.

2529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China trying its best to get hated on: September 25, 2021, 09:18:03 AM
I honestly think that people are starting to get really sick of China's behavior.


What's really amazing is that they don't understand that they are cutting themselves out from a super-growing market, letting all major investor taking all their money to other countries (like the mining exodus happened recently).


Should we really expect a bear market?
China repeatedly has a policy of being very unsupportive of the crypto market and appears selfish in its policies. i think china may have a specific purpose and china doesn't want other countries to be able to compete with china in crypto, so china is issuing unreasonable policies
That's true, China was never supportive of cryptocurrency, despite having large mining operations. This isn't something new, a quick look back in the past few years will reveal a lot about China and its policies against the freedom of its citizens. Such incidents will definitely affect the market, up to a degree, however, its impact won't last long and will recover eventually.
2530  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it good to invest on cheap promising coins? on: September 25, 2021, 05:55:59 AM
I'm not including the example you have given but yes, you can give new and promising projects a chance. But you should be really sure that they are promising projects rather than scam ones. I have no idea about "Zero coin". But recently, the favorite coin is Solana. It is a very promising project and you can check the price statistics also. You will see that it was even under $1 last year but now it has an ATH level like $215.
I've never heard of this Zero coin before either, as I mentioned earlier, there are instances that these newer/less known coins are worth investing. Do your research, you could even invest in multiple new/cheap coins as well, instead of one. If one goes down, you won't lose all your money, while this practice is providing you with more investment opportunities.
2531  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it good to invest on cheap promising coins? on: September 24, 2021, 08:43:54 PM
I would say yes, but it depends on the coin and its conditions. Let's keep in mind that a ton of coins are being created every day, many of which are pump and dump coins aka scam coins created only for this purpose. Sometimes you may hit the jackpot and achieve high returns from such coins, however, it's not something that can be guaranteed by any means.
2532  Economy / Economics / Re: Are Renewable Energy sources the future? on: September 23, 2021, 05:32:44 PM
I'm all in for electric vehicles, I mostly like their concept and its benefits, not paying for petrol, they have immense acceleration and so on. However, I don't believe that they are fully developed for mass usage. They are still quite expensive and till a few years ago, Tesla was the largest competitor. The Tesla Model 3 for instance, costs approximately $50-60.000.

During the past few years, more and more EVs are being developed, such as Hyundai, Volkswagen, KIA, Volvo and a few others.

Increased competition should result in these vehicles becoming more affordable. I can see a considerable reduction in the monopoly in high-end EVs that Tesla had, in recent times. Tesla had the advantage that they were the first ones to mass produce EVs, but now other automobile manufacturers seems to have realized that EVs are going to be the next big thing in this sector. And despite the monopoly that Tesla had, they never contributed anything positive to the EV sector. If they had done something useful, then we would be having a much more affordable and reliable battery technology by now.
Tesla used to be the main competitor in the EV sector, that's why their prices were so high as well. On top of that, Tesla had a terrible policy when it came to servicing and salvage vehicles. Despite EVs being a pretty new market, there are already quite a few models, from different companies, that have recently been introduced to the market, reducing the monopoly effect Tesla had on the market.

Received a translation today. All the money was returned after more than three months. Thanks everyone for the answers!
I'm glad and relieved to see it was resolved. I highly doubted that such matter would stay unhandled, despite what happened, from my experience, it's not a sketchy exchange by any means. As another user already mentioned, use a “Resolved” tag in the title, so other users that might be facing a similar incident with yours, are informed that this matter has been resolved, without reading all the replies.

Agree to this and there are only few charging station of it and really you cant drive really really long distance. Regarding renewable energy there are a lot of people now a days in their homes buying a solar power light since it could save energy and also lets say that it could make the environment better. I think the future in renewable energy in terms of electricity is really great, but the gasoline powered vehicle is the next problem tho

That still doesn't solve the issue of affordability. The Tesla Model S costs around $100,000. This is around 3 times the price of a similar automobile which runs on gasoline. Personally I don't afford paying up to 50% more for an EV. But 200%? That doesn't make any sense for me. They need to reduce the cost and make the vehicles more affordable. And for that, they need to dump the current Lithium-Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminium batteries and move towards a battery technology that uses less expensive metals. I am afraid that it may not happen anytime soon.

Interesting story, according to you, the purpose of this investment is long term, however, I'm wondering how you considered Bitcoin as your best investment? Don't get me wrong, but, the amounts being invested are quite small, considering Bitcoin's value. I believe that sometimes, investing in some other reputable altcoin, such as Ethereum, Cardano, Binance and many more, is deemed more profitable than purchasing Bitcoin.
2537  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Dogecoin survive without Elon Musk? on: September 20, 2021, 03:38:14 PM
What do you think? Will Dogecoin be able to survive without Elon Musk? Or will it simply vanish like the rest of the other "shitcoins" on the market? Is the DOGE hype over? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley

Doge coin is the only meme coin that got a lot of attention from investors after Elon Musk promoted the coin, but even though the hype for Doge coin has faded but its price will still last because Doge coin has a large community and besides that currently several exchanges one by one started putting Doge coins into their platform so that it can help the price of Doge coins to stay afloat.
Dogecoin received lots of attention just because Elon Musk started promoting it, not just because it's a coin worth being traded. There was a period that when Musk made a single tweet, a rally would follow, driving prices upwards, with everyone panic buying just because Elon Musk said it. Dogecoin was already listed on many exchanges, however, it's not actually a huge deal.
2538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Today I helped 2 non-crypto people invest in bitcoin on: September 20, 2021, 12:35:28 PM
Personally, if I were in the OP's position I would look at the market situation and if the situation is not possible I would not recommend it, because I don't want my uncle to suffer losses because of me.
if the market is trending i suggest waiting until the price really drops to make a purchase and suggest to make long term investments and prioritize bitcoin, uncle OP bought bitcoin around 47K and currently bitcoin price is around 45K and so on, and how your uncle reacts when he sees the current price is definitely a disappointment.
Let's just hope that OP is not held liable from his relatives, especially now that the market is going through a crash. Bitcoin is down to $43.000, taking all other listed Altcoins with it. And that's why I don't give out financial advice, especially on crypto.  I'm hoping that your relatives don't go frenzy seeing the market in such state, and start panic selling what they've bought.

I was recently targeted through Discord too. Was contacted through a few groups I had entered and posed as administrators who were eager to "assist" me. Even though it didn't regard the service you are referring to, in my case it was a phishing WalletConnect website, Discord and DeFi in general is fill of scammers.

Never respond to anyone you don't know, keep also in mind that administrators in Discord groups will rarely message you.
2540  Economy / Economics / Re: Covid-19 vaccination becoming a criteria to live in the world on: September 19, 2021, 08:00:35 PM
The most important is that it decreases the severity of the illness, supposing you get infected. However, I'm a living example of someone who was in close contact with a confirmed case, I am vaccinated, and he isn't. Despite the long hours and being in an indoor area, I wasn't infected. Got tested multiple times throughout the week as well.

I have the same opinion as well. Got my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine in May 2021 and I have managed to stay uninfected. Here in my country, there is no noticeable opposition to the vaccination program (unlike the case with some of the other countries). And as a result, the average number of daily deaths have remained in the 0 to 1 range for the last many months. However, since the emergence of the delta strain, there has been a surge in the number of infections. Used to be in the 20-30 range per day, but now we are witnessing close to 1,000 new cases per day. Still the higher rate of vaccination has managed to prevent the deaths.
It is the same where I am currently living, there is no direct opposition to the vaccine, there are some that are not taking the vaccine but it has to do more with ignorance than with any kind of real opposition, however the delta strain is proving to be a real issue, it seems that it is way more contagious which most likely indicates that sooner or later everyone will eventually get it, so the vaccine is key so the symptoms are mild and there are no long term effects once the body beats the disease.
The more a virus mutates, the more contagious it becomes, however, when that occurs, it usually becomes less deadly. Vaccines still work with the Delta variant, but let's keep in mind that their development started approximately in March, based on the original virus, before new strains started appearing. The virus has taken several twists since then, thus, it's pretty normal that their efficacy has been reduced.
