2701  Economy / Economics / Re: Some chinese guy bought most expensive face mask in the world $1.5 million. on: August 16, 2020, 05:19:47 PM
I don't really mind rich people spending their money the way they like. Do you know why a face mask doesn't hurt me? Because I saw sheikh's palace, people in UAE who pay 100k USD for a personalized license plate, gold and silver plated ferraris, private jets and all that. A face mask will at least look nice on a shelf, what about a million dollar dinner with Warren?
2702  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Proof of the ownership of BitCoins during a Divorce on: August 16, 2020, 05:09:26 PM
Let's step away from the "Let's proof this" for a moment and ask her what type of marriage contract was in place, when they got married. Some contracts stipulate that any spouse can only claim for the things that was accumulated after they got married. Was anything mentioned before the marriage about wealth accumulated before the marriage?

Also consider the fact that your husband might have other coins that are not stored in the service where you have joint access and that you and your children have rights to those coins too. (Difficult to proof, but if he lies about this in court and this come out later, then he can get into big trouble.)

I believe this was answered when OP said that "He put the most of our money into Bitcoins". This means that Bitcoins were bought during marriage.
AFAIK if the decision was done during the course of marriage the profits belong to both of the partners.
I agree though that there's not enough information for us to be able to help and we don't know in which country they live.
2703  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Original Bitcoin Holder! HoDL HoDL HoDL on: August 16, 2020, 03:08:18 PM
finally I can fall asleep peacefully after knowing this person who made popular the word HODL, I am sure he has become a rich person now because he is holding bitcoins until now, it also looks like he will continue to hold bitcoin until another new ATH later

You can be theoretically and practically rich. A holder like him who has, say 50BTC stored somewhere on a paper wallet and has never touched them since 2013 is theoretically rich.
You can make a single mistake, get hacked, get that encrypting trojan, send coins to a wrong address and you're done. I also have a lot of Bitcoin but I don't feel rich since I've maybe spent 1% of them in the last 5 years. An investment is like a work in progress, you are not rich until it's realized and physically manifested in real estate, or education, which is even better because self-improvement is one of the few things that can't be taken away from you.
2704  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Proof of the ownership of BitCoins during a Divorce on: August 16, 2020, 02:46:10 PM
I agree with something mentioned a few posts above, that you should show your expenses, not only the wallet status on a tracking app. Were coins bought from your account? Were they bought using a shared account? Were they earned or maybe inherited. The court has to take all of it into consideration because if you find no proof that they were bought during marriage and your husband finds someone to testify that the coins were inherited by him you're going to have a hard time. Also, there's probably nothing that would stop your husband from buying a coin like Monero using a proxy (friend, family member) and lying in court than he never had any cryptocurrencies and the tracking app is showing some random address that was never his.
2705  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investment plan on: August 16, 2020, 02:39:00 PM
Investing in 5 topcoins is indeed a great option for lowering a high downside risk and it's a good thing to do. I myself am thinking of doing a deeper exploration of coins that do have something good like TWT. For beginners it is better to invest in top coins and at the same time to understand cryptocureency fluctuations and information

I don't agree with this. "Don't put you eggs in one basket" doesn't work within one and the same market. What diversification is all about is mitigating the risk by investing in many different industries, assets, commodities and so on. It's not about buying 3 different buildings in the same area because you're after all still in the real estate business. If anything goes wrong with the market you'll be in trouble. It's the same with crypto market where all altcoins depend on Bitcoin. By buying top 5 you are not diversifying, this is a misconception.
2706  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-08-13] What Bitcoin Can Learn From Gold About Staying ‘Clean’ on: August 16, 2020, 02:23:02 PM
I don't see any benefit in trying to keep coins clean, especially when coins ate mixed almost anywhere you go. In wallets with multiple addresses unless you really pay attention to imputs and outputs, in all centralized wallets like casinos, exchanges and such. Trying to keep them clean is like an impossible struggle for an average user.
Also we cannot forget that a large number of coins is already "dirty" and owned by people who were not even aware of the concept of clean coins.
2707  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make old people understand Bitcoin? on: August 15, 2020, 01:01:34 PM
It all depends on how much these old people hae to do with technology. You can have a 70 year old who doesn't know how to use a mobile phone or a 70 year old who uses a computer every day and calls grandchildren using skype. People who don't use any electronic devices are a lost cause, just like people who never had a computer in their lives.
2708  Economy / Economics / Re: MicroStrategy Buys $250M in Bitcoin, Calling the Crypto ‘Superior to Cash’ on: August 15, 2020, 12:13:30 PM
Shareholders (and let's be honest, hype buyers) may be happy now. We'll see how happy they are if BTC takes a dump! Tongue

If this was a brazen way to boost themselves by jumping on another hype train they may live to regret that. Ideally it's a clear-eyed financial decision but there's no way of controlling how it's going to be perceived by others. 

It certainly is working wonders for the company now. The average joe like me has never heard of microstrategy but now it's everywhere in the crypto space. It's exploring new markets and taking advantage of free publicity. Evein if the investment doesn't bring the expected profit it's still going to be good for them (most likely). I'm positive that if they hold it for another 2-3 years they will make money, even if there's a dump in the coming months.
2709  Other / Politics & Society / Re: BREAKING NEWS: Man left with 3 month ERECTION after plastic surgery on nose ! on: August 15, 2020, 11:59:47 AM
Could have been worse...






 Grin

He should have that pinocchio nose for lying about a 3 month erection. I don't believe this would be hard to correct on the spot and in real life if he had ift for 2 days he'd go to the ER and get it fixed. They would be able to release some pressure by simply sticking a needle in it and draining some blood.
If he had it for 3 months he must have wanted it to stay that way. Maybe his boyfriends were happy with the unexpected side effect of his surgery.

other plausible scenarios are that the reason he has body-image issues is due to the fact that any female he has been with never got satisfied and left him. maybe he had erectile issues(never getting it up) and is now trying to say that he finally had an erection as an advert that his penis now works.

Does he look like he's into females? Tongue
2710  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Facial Recognition Can Help to Come Out from Bitcoin Social Media Scams on: August 15, 2020, 11:45:08 AM
Facial recognition? How much more of your data are you willing to give up?

People who implement chips inside their bodies would say all of it.
Privacy is an important thing in my life so I wouldn't choose to use my face image instead of something simple like 2fa. You can overdo it with security just like with everything else.
2711  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With this recent surge in BTC, is it possible to have all time high this year? on: August 15, 2020, 11:30:30 AM
Anything is possible with Bitcoin. We had a big bear market in 2015 where people thought it's all over for Bitcoin. We had the media tell the world that Bitcoin was just a bubble that popped and comparing it to the tulips. A year later we were at the all time high again and another year later we had a new ATH. I don't see it going this fast now and believe that we'll have to wait another year, but if by any chance we went past 15k, we probably wouldn't stop until 20k, so let's wait and see. At this point we are setting up for either a bullish breakout or a triple top at 12k which would be bearish.
2712  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Gas prices, why do people pay that much more for a "brand" on: August 09, 2020, 09:17:53 PM
That's funny because no oil company suggest to change the oil after certain months, they will always recommend to change it after certain millage. How can one be so ignorant ?

Those aren't their cars so they don't care. They lease them for a few years (usually between 2 and 5) and return them to the dealer.
Most manufacturers advise to change oil before a given mileage is reached. When I've been shopping for a used car, I demanded them to show me the service history. If the oil changes were being done at the last possible moment just to fit in the scheduled maintenance it was obvious the car was part of a fleet. Also, the first oil change is a good indicator. Normal owners know you should do it ahead of sechdule (like with half the mileage given by the manufacturer) but a rental will always have it at or even after the max mileage. They always want to save a buck and do as little of them as possible in those few years when the car is in their hands. 
2713  Economy / Economics / Re: Which currency will dominate the crypto market? Please vote! on: August 09, 2020, 09:08:34 PM
Bitcoin will be a dominating legit coin but if you just look at the market cap it's going to be USDt or one of those other stable coins that they can print out of thin air as much as they want. Most fiat money have boundaries because the governments know that if they print too much they'll go into hyperinflation and will turn the country into chaos. A company that creates a stablecoin doesn't have such concerns. They can make 1 billion and then file for bankruptcy just like that.
2714  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What to do if you get scammed! on: August 09, 2020, 08:18:48 PM
The song is great. Definitely makes you feel better if there's anything that can have this effect on someone who just lost his savings.
I've never been scammed but i came pretty close to it when an exchange I've been using went bust and later bailed scamming customers. They had a little period when they were deciding what to do and allowed people to withdraw, acting like nothing had happened. I used that time to take my money off the platform.
What would I do? Probably report it to the police and try to make as much fuss in the Internet as I could.
2715  Economy / Economics / Re: 2020-2021 best year if You Want to become rich no skills needed on: August 09, 2020, 03:32:15 PM
And you said that based on... your crystal ball?

Actually, you have a high chance of being right, because in that period we either will be in a bull market or we won't, so, without further considerations you have a 50% chance of being right.

I just don't see you coming back to this post to comment if you are wrong.

One thing I'm pretty sure of, it will not be a total bear market like 2018. We need a bull run first fort that to happen, even if the bull run ends with a fakeout (approach to 20k and no new ATH). On the other hand saying that it's a safe bet that you'll buy BTC today and become rich in a year or 2. There are predictions that the bull market could take years and finish with an ATH not much higher than 20k so you might her the same results investing in Amazon.
2716  Economy / Economics / Re: You want to get rich, don’t pay taxes, don’t get married, don’t use bank, and... on: August 09, 2020, 03:23:28 PM
Avoiding taxes are legit and most of the rich people are paying very less taxes compared to the working class people that is the main reason they are getting richer and richer.But for someone who is working for someone it is hard to avoid the taxes because everything will be on record so if you are not paying then it will be considered as crime.

Not all of us can do it, that's for sure. If you have to work for someone else there's a chance they will allow you to be paid in cash. I know a lot of contractors who do side jobs off the record. The deal is to pay taxes when you have to and not pay when you don't have to.
In general alienating yourself from the society will make you save money.
When you don't date you don't pay for restaurants and drinks, you don't buy stupid things like flowers and jewelry, you don't need nice clothes, can drive an old car, have an old phone but it doesn't mean you have to live like that. Don't go all crazy "new car every year" style, but also don't become that lonely guy who lives in the woods.
2717  Economy / Economics / Re: This is a total nightmare on: August 09, 2020, 03:14:28 PM
Agriculture is good as your stepping stone to having an extra source of income even though it is not easy but for me, there's no need to eliminate or reject something to change new , because your daily routine is a part of your dream plan going to succeed because the new technology is still waiting for you, Instantly, you should do anything to warm up to overcome the total nightmare.

It's great these days if you're producing clean food like the high quality veggies for vegan freaks.
I don't see how bitcoin going up against the dollar could be a bad thing and make it hard to buy it. Even if it goes to 100k it's still going to be easy to buy. You just have to stop looking at 1 BTC like you look at 1 of any other currency. With Bitcoin getting 0.1 is a step in the right direction. Times where people were giving away 1BTC for free are gone forever.
2718  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Profitable days of holding bitcoin percentage (98.5%) on: August 09, 2020, 11:54:45 AM
If calculated from the year 2011. Then the amount of profit obtained is not small. Fortunately for people who know and hold Bitcoin from the very beginning Bitcoin was created. They have already made a thousand percent profit. And we are also the lucky ones to be in the cypro world. Because not everyone knows and can profit from crypto.

It's not about the amount of profit! The chart is there to show that in the last 10 years bitcoin was a very easy investment, basically a nobrainer. You could hear of it for the fiorst time, go to an exchange and buy some and you'd have almost 100% probability of making some profit. Can you say that about other investments like real estate or stocks?
2719  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the need to increase BTC's max supply arise in the future? on: August 09, 2020, 10:44:18 AM
I believe the ability to divide existing coins into smaller fractions should be enough. The more pressing matter is making sure we can accomodate the growing number of users and their daily transactions. We know that we can keep generating wallets indefinitely and have enough coins, but if Bitcoin is to fail somewhere I'd say it's going to be in transaction time and cost.
We're not ready for a real adoption boom yet.
2720  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lessons from the Past: When bitcoin's price stabilised on: August 08, 2020, 07:16:49 PM
This post proves that it's never to late to cash out. And we must be patient because Bitcoin volatility isn't here to stay for years.
It's never to late to not cash out and turn your savings into BTC.
Is your main goal in Bitcoin to cash out? I'd rather think how to turn my coins into physical goods. How to buy a car or a house directly with BTC, without ever touching centralized exchanges and fiat money (including cash).
The current price is very low if you look at the big picture. We will most likely go beyond 100k per coin or die trying.
