2621  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Keystone....Well I didn't want to post it but here it is. on: December 03, 2022, 08:24:06 AM
Is it easy to re-adhesive without showing any sign of reopening? The re-gluing should make it easier to detect that someone tried to open the box.

In general, I agree with you, it is a mistake that the sealing is so easy, and perhaps if the scammers take advantage of this trick, they may move to improve it a little.
Their prices are quite high, so there is nothing wrong with developing packaging.

I think this cycle will continue unless people think seriously about the nature of their investments and stop thinking emotionally.

Look at the comments. In the previous year, many people invested because Elon Musk was tweeting, or because some company made a purchase, or for some trivial reason, and now they are claiming that Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme because they lost their money.

Therefore, such things will be repeated with every rise and fall of the price.
2623  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ponzi scheme scammer uses BTC to cover tracks on: December 02, 2022, 10:58:38 AM
Excuse me, but will you give your money to someone who will invest it without knowing this person?
When a person invests your money and gives you a return, there must be a commercial, investment, lending or any income-generating activity. Ask that person about this data and if it is practically impossible to achieve that profit, why you invest in the first place?

Ponzi schemes are investments that appear to be profitable, and the average person cannot verify that it is a scam except after it has occurred, but after scrutiny from investment institutions and companies, and after careful examination, it can be revealed.

Therefore, the model that offers 600% profits without mentioning a logical mechanism for generating those profits is a scam and you would be stupid if you gave them your money.
2624  Economy / Economics / Re: Tesla stock analysts debate future equity values on rate hikes on: December 02, 2022, 10:03:08 AM
I think that at one time, people were buying Tesla shares just because they were Tesla shares or because of Elon Musk without even checking the company's data, and therefore this created an increase in the price of something that encouraged others to invest blindly for fear of missing the opportunity.
Therefore, when things start to deteriorate, then investors will think about what they were thinking.
The story and everything in it is that it was a pioneer in the field and now there is a lot of competition.
2625  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Wondering how much my account is worth ? on: December 02, 2022, 09:28:17 AM
Prices vary according to the quality of the account, its ability to enter signature campaigns and the points of trust in it, but it is a risk that is not worth it, especially if your motive is purely economic (scamming people or participating in signature campaigns)

By the way, in posting, the differences between ranks are almost non-existent.


Selling accounts is now stupid - although allowed officially, seller, buyer, the account to be sold will be tagged when caught. And it's a good step forward, since the reasons for such a deal can be at least shady, if not plain scam.
Plus now the merit system makes leveling up difficult for spammers, so the way the worth was calculated in 2013-2015 (I don't know the exact years) is different from what it would mean now.

Sometimes, let us assume, for example, a high-ranking member who has been banned for any reason or wants to increase his profits by having more than one account. Instead of waiting 8 months, he will buy an account and will not face a problem in ranking.
Also, spammers know that it is impossible for them to rank-up, so buying an account and participating in bounty campaigns is a good option.
2626  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Do you think Binance is the best crypto exchange currently available ? on: December 02, 2022, 08:43:46 AM
What is your country? For example, the options available to citizens in the United States, Spain, Singapore, Syria, Iran are completely different, and the access to platforms is completely different.

When we talk about the risks of using centralized platforms, it is up to your policy in managing your assets and the availability of alternatives. Often Binance are the best, but in any case, withdraw your money directly when you finish trading, and do not put large sums in the trading platform.

The more transparent the platform, the better the trust score.
2627  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase wallet stops support for XRP, ETC, XLM and BCH on: December 02, 2022, 08:34:48 AM
They can drop support for those coins from the user interface of new versions of the wallet, which would surprise users who don't know that they can import the backup seed into another wallet.
But all the user needs is to install an old version of the application and he will be able to deposit, the problem that may occur is the lack of synchronization, but it is a strange behavior where if they can, they can do more.

I will download the wallet to test it myself and then evaluate what happens.
2628  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: electrum wallet got hacked, 5 years of bitcoin gone on: December 01, 2022, 12:22:27 PM
There should be something more to this than just a pdf file wiping out your Electrum.
There is no reported vulnerability in Electrum that's directly linked with pdf files.
+1

AFAIK, most of PDF viruses did not have the ability to move between applications, and then I have not heard of any hack just because of PDF, can anyone confirm this information?! because I careless and download a lot of PDF files.



Have you signed a transaction during another application that works?
2629  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: How safe are offline wallets? on: December 01, 2022, 12:06:09 PM
I'm planning to purchase a new laptop or even a desktop computer quite soon, and was actually planning to install the wallet to the old one and isolating it. What happens if the HDD goes bad, though? Backing up the seed phrase enough to recover it from another computer, I guess.
As long as you have the ability to purchase a new computer, buying a hardware wallet wallet will be a better solution if you are the skeptical type or that clicks randomly and explore new applications or download many unknown closed source programs/crackers.

A cold storage management requires some knowledge and keenness, otherwise it is better to purchase hardware wallet.

Finally, being offline does not mean that you are safe. If hacker gets access to the root, he may do a lot of things, so closing the Internet, signing TX, and re-connecting to the Internet does not mean that you are safe.
2630  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Is there good wallet decentralized app ? on: December 01, 2022, 11:50:42 AM
I think what you are trying to search for is:

 - A wallet manage more than one crypto.
 - It has an automatic exchange feature between cryptocurrencies
 - Decentralization and you control your keys.

I do not think that there is an open source wallet that provides these options, Exodus[1] provide these properties, but it is closed source, and not completely decentralized because they use third-party applications that work in the background.

2631  Economy / Economics / Re: UAE further collaboration with India for Local Currency Trade on: December 01, 2022, 11:19:18 AM
There is a chance that we could see a future alliance between russia, india, iran, turkey and the UAE. As well as some other states in the region.
I do not think that such an alliance might be formed. Iran controls three Emirati islands[1] and UAE considers a strategic depth if countries decide to start an alliance against Iran. Therefore, the United Arab Emirates has to choose between Iran or the Western world, and I do not think that the Emirates will choose Iran due to the large volume of exchange with the Western world. , Ensuring security of oil and energy, and because of Iran's seizure of the UAE islands.


[1] https://www.uae-embassy.org/discover-uae/foreign-policy/occupied-uae-islands


This is yet another sign of the new world order that has been established a while ago.
A couple of years ago I mentioned the fact that some countries are abandoning US dollar and the Unipolar World is over but some people didn't believe me. Now we are seeing more countries, even tiny ones like UAE are jumping on the wagon of abandoning US dollar and joining the New World Order in the new MultiPolar world.

The formation of a new world (MultiPolar world) order requires the emergence of a world war, which has not happened so far, so the best thing that will happen is a new cold war.
2632  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I'm finally saying goodbye to CEX and Centralised projects on: December 01, 2022, 11:03:27 AM
The lesson you should have learned is:

 - Don't trust the centralized stuff: not just platforms, but altcoins and stablecoins.
 - Do not trust any platform that claims to be decentralized as long as they have your keys.
 - Do not trust any centralized blockchain (even if they give you your keys) as long as they can stop or suspend/halt the system.


Unfortunately, most of the altcoins apply to one of the conditions above, so there is no difference from using CEXs amd DEXs.

There are advantages to centralized platforms (which have higher liquidity volumes) but withdraw your coins as soon as you finish trading.
2633  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My gut is telling me that I am missing a part here on: December 01, 2022, 10:52:19 AM
P2p=/dex & Binance P2P is Binance way of manipulating terms as an attempt to control all crypto sectors. is it binace version to compete with the Localbitcoin/Paxful. Instead of losing the database represented by the users of that platform, they provide AIO solutions, but everything is centralized and under their management.

Binance P2P shortcomings:

 - Centralized however the platform does not bear all the losses.
 - You are required to perform KYC.
 - You may be scammed.
 - You still do not own your funds and more data may be requested before you can withdraw.

Try Bisq.
2634  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to send BTC to BInance from cold storage on: December 01, 2022, 10:19:13 AM

Thanks for the explanations , everybody. Now i have understand. Anyway , Are there any alternative rather than Electrum wallet. Anything can happen in crypto. If electrum wallet hacked , then what else we can do?

What is your operating system (Windows, ISO, Android)? Are you planning to invest in more cryptocurrencies? Although I do not encourage you to invest in altcoins, but if you want to, you can try ---> https://unstoppable.money/

For more Bitcoin wallet you can try ---> https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet



Hacking and data theft depend on how secure your operating system is, so if you are downloading apps randomly, it is best to use a clean device or format your device.
2635  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Is Approaching $17000 on: December 01, 2022, 10:04:26 AM
This is because the price took these variables into account when FTX’s bankruptcy application was submitted. The market evaluated all these risks at once in the last price market, and almost everyone knew about Blockfi’s bankruptcy, and there was nothing left but the official announcement that did not surprise many.

Also, the change from 16.1k to 17.1k does not represent a real change in the direction of the market, and 17.1K point are not strong resistance.
2636  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where to sell WLUNA on: November 30, 2022, 11:31:54 AM
How did you end up this way? You are talking about WLUNA, not a LUNA, the currency that has collapsed and that all channels talked about.

If you sell it now, you will sell it at a very low price, so if the quantity does not make a difference to you, try to replace it with a LUNA, as it is supposed to do it easily to de-wrapped it from the place you bought from it, but are you sure that you bought it from Coinbase?


Can you please tell me if it is available in Uniswap? because it does not appear for me.
Nope, check it here ---> https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/saitaswap/ or https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/cronaswap/
2637  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency in Central Bank Reserves - DoE, Harvard on: November 30, 2022, 11:04:37 AM
never use market cap as a measure of utility, EVER!
I agree with you, but when we are talking about the Bitcoin market capacity, it is a good measure because we have a limited offer.
We cannot create bitcoin whenever we want or print an additional million bitcoin to adjust the price.

Arbitrage between platforms will prevent the creation of 3 billion dollars from nothing, if the demand increases on a platform, the price rises, people will go to that platform and balancing will occur in a short period.

It is completely different with altcoins, shares and almost most of the investments that can Printing Money Out Of Thin Air!
2638  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase wallet stops support for XRP, ETC, XLM and BCH on: November 30, 2022, 10:43:52 AM
This partial news is strange, but if Coinbase can ban coin in the wallet? What can also do? I thought the news is related to coinbase excchange, not the wallet.

Based on this quote, then:
Quote
Coinbase Wallet is a Self-Custody Crypto Wallet, Putting You in Control of Your Crypto, Keys, and Data. Now You Can Safely Store Your Crypto

So as long as you have your keys, what is the benefit of removing these coins? Or how will they do it? Do they control the servers and therefore your node will not connect or what?


Otherwise, the Bitcoin Cash argument was that the fees in the Bitcoin network are high, today the fees are stable for a while and therefore there is no use in that currency.
2639  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: RUBLIX good to buy at 1 sat ? 1066.88% APY profit ! on: November 30, 2022, 10:11:09 AM
Can anyone be serious that he will get 1066.88% APY profit?! If achieving money is easy, then borrowing and investment is easier than searching for customer money.

Any coins gives APY higher than the average lending costs is a suspicious coin and the more profit increases, the more indications that it is a scam coin, and here we are talking about rates less than 20% and not like 1066.88%.

they can give you that APY as database balance but you cant withdrawal it or that coin only listed in one exchange.
2640  Economy / Speculation / Re: Let's understand about what can be the actual long term holding... on: November 30, 2022, 09:58:52 AM
The problem does not lie in the ten years or more, but for you from time you can smooth without touching your reserves. How long can you live the life of poverty and you have thousands of investments in Bitcoin or others.

Also, bitcoin may not appear perfect as investment for all time or at least short term. For example, it is impossible for Bitcoin to rise several times during the next six months, so buying now or until the next April/2023 may not make Bitcoin rise strongly.

In the end, without an investment plan, you will not achieve profits.
