I wanted to ask those of you who have been on the forum longer and/or have been active longer than me, if you remember that campaign payments are eventually raised over time? Or is it more common for running campaigns to keep their rates and for new campaigns to be able to set higher rates in order to attract quality posters? Yeah its way more common to keep the same rate (or even lower it) bit increases happen from time to time. Two that I know of are BestChange (it used to be fixed $90 for 25 posts) and another one is Roobet that used to pay $60 per week for Hero/Legendary but there are probably few more that did that. It was just something that occurred to me, also thinking about how after inflation many companies end up raising their salaries, although in some cases the increases do not compensate for inflation.
Imho, signature campaign rates are more about supply and demand than anything else; when there's a lot of campaigns, businesses have to offer higher rates to attract members, and vice versa. Situation at the moment is much better compared to when I joined my first sig campaign (iirc early 2020) as there were so few that standard rate was ~$50 for the top rank (even Bitvest that was paying peanuts had some quality posters during that time) while only 2 or 3 where paying more than that. |

nadam se da je ironija u mom postu bila evidentna E jebiga uopce je nisam skuzio, a bas volim za sebe misliti da sam dobar u tome.  sad je novi trend da menjacnice objave svoje rezerve, i Crypto.com 20% rezervi drzi u SHIB, sta reci
Da na prvu zvuci totalno suludo da bi netko drzao 20% u takvom shitcoinu, ali glasnogovornik crypto.com je na to odgovorio da je razlog tome kolicina SHIB koji se tamo hodla. I da je i da nije istina, ionako se treba povuci lova sa svih mjenjacnica. A Crypto.com spokesperson said, "The reason our Proof of Reserves include Shiba is because we hold customers' balances 1:1. Thus, our Proof of Reserves are dictated by our customer holdings."
Crypto.com’s large holding of SHIB is a “reflection of user interest/activity,” Nansen data journalist Martin Lee told CoinDesk via a Telegram message |

The next issue with this FTX of a thing is people/ investors will start thinking that every centralised exchanges and projects will face the same fate. I wish that was the case and people move their funds out of centralized exchanges but that won't happen, like it didn't happen in the past. Just look at all those exchanges reporting how much user's funds they have and you will see that nothing much will change in that regard. We all need to calm down, what has happened has happened, let's stop panicking for no reason. I don't se much panic around here. I as a person respect what Zhao did, he can be trusted.
CZ can be trusted? Good joke. Trust no one. |

This is almost certainly an inside job, the way I see it. And with that, any shred of hope that FTX users had of recovering even a portion of their assets is gone.
100% inside job as a pro hacker that could be able to do something like that wouldn't send some of the hacked money to his Kraken account, which he allegedly did. Kraken chief security officer (that Nick Percoco guy) confirmed that they know who is behind that account.  https://twitter.com/c7five/status/1591433304871690242 |

If you have received bitcoin from selling a property, and you want to convert it to tether, because you want to keep the value; how likely it is for that tether to be frozen?
What I don't understand is how exactly you plan to keep the value by staying in tether? Or you maybe meant that currency in your country is not stable enough so you would rather prefer currency that is pegged to dollar? Anyway, getting your USDT frozen is not the only danger as there is a chance of depeging as well and those two things make it a bad good choice for longer hodl. |

Na Goxu su bili samo BTC entuzijasti. Industrija je bila u povojima, market cap valjda 100x manji nego sad i samim tim takve stvari u povojima su očekivane.
Nisam tad bio u kriptu ali gledajući unazad, imao je Mt. Gox svoje red flagove. A ja opet gledam na to da ako je bitcoin prezivio pad Mt.Goxa koji je drzao 70% trading volumena u puno ranjivijem periodu, prezivjeti ce i ovu situaciju sada kad je ipak dosta prihvaceniji i otporniji. Jedino sumnjam da je ovo kraj drame posto su imali prste posvuda tako da bi mogli povuci jos koji exchange sa sobom. Ovo što se dogodilo FTX-u će dugoročno predstaviti problem svim institucionalnim ulagačima, način na koji se dogodilo natjerati će bilo koga u kriptu na nula tolerancije prema ikakvim cex rješenjima (što uopće nije dobro i poželjno) i trebati će 2 godine da se sektor oporavi. Puno zesca regalacija nam ne gine, to je neminovno. Ono sto mene iznova iznenadjuje je razina nekompetentnosti kod ekipe koja barata milijardama dolara, ono bas jebeni amateur hour. Jedan primjer, baci oko na ovaj kratki video u kojem CEO Alamede iznosi svoje misljenje o stop lossu https://twitter.com/SimonDixonTwitt/status/1591009619790663681 . Ali valjda je lakse riskirati kad se igras sa tudjom lovom. izgleda da nije hak, nego admin nije imao informaciju da su povukli sva sredstva na cold novcanik, usled procedure bankrota, vrhunska dezorganizacija
Nadam se da si u pravu, ali siri se prica da je Tether blacklistao $31.4 milijuna USDT koji su napustili FTX u tom zadnjem odljevu pa mi onda nema nekako smisla da je u pitanju samo povlacenje sredstava na cold wallet. edit: izgleda da je lik koji je to odradio poslao dio love na svoj Kraken acc te su ga oni uspjeli identificiarati. https://twitter.com/c7five/status/1591433304871690242uz to, pojavilo se sunce za FTX, u vidu Justin Sun-a iz Trona, koji je objavio da je spreman uloziti milijarde u oporavak FTX-a, a kratko je bilo omoguceno povlacenje TRX i TRC-20 tokena korisnicima platforme
Hah tko bi jos vjerovao tom starom manipulatoru, vjerojatno samo zeli malo publiciteta. a Elon bi mogao da dobije pravo da snimi film, s obzirom da sve desavalo uzivo na Twitter-u Ne cudi da je Twitter postao glavna platforma s obzirom da skoro nema utjecajne osobe u kriptu koja nije aktivna tamo. Ne znam da li je jos itko primjetio, ali cini mi se da je u zadnje vrijeme manje botova koji promotaju raznorazne shitcoine ispod svakog tweeta, samo ne znam da li je do bear marketa ili su nesto i poduzeli u svezi glede toga. |

At least for now, here are some of the projects that have funds stuck in either FTX investment or Alameda investment.
I don't think that's list of companies that have their money stuck in FTX but rather companies that FTX/Alameda investment invested in as I've seen it being shared around. Some of them probably have money stuck there though. The fall of FTX Group could also mean the fall of some of these projects. And since some of these projects are lending companies, trust companies, or platforms that accept investments or simply money from their respective customers, the domino effect of FTX Group crumbling down is definitely massive.
Not just projects, but more exchanges could go down with them as Alameda did shit load of market making for many. I've seen names like Huobi, Kucoin and Crypto.com being mentioned around as the next ones in trouble. Might be just FUD, but people shouldn't have any money on exchanges anyway.
Drama at FTX continues as someone transferred more than $400M and users are reporting that they see their balance at 0. Looks like an inside job tbh, given what's been happening lately. Crypto exchange FTX is seeing millions of dollars flow out of its exchange with early reports of some user account balances being completely empty.
So far, over $400 million has been transferred to a single wallet address. The wallet has acquired tens of millions of dollars worth of several types of tokens by draining FTX accounts, and began selling tokens that it received from FTX.
FTX's general counsel Ryne Miller claimed the exchange is "investigating abnormalities with wallet movements related to consolidation of FTX balances across exchanges – unclear facts as other movements not clear. Will share more info as soon as we have it. @FTX_Official." |

However, it's a absolute huge undertaking to fully moderate the section. You could probably get it to an acceptable level in a few months, but there's so many replies in those megathreads, and if you don't watch the sports, then sometimes you don't know when those users that are basically just putting vague replies out, are doing exactly that. Sometimes you can, but ultimately to be able to catch the majority of them you need to know a little about the sports.
Out of curiosity I just checked one forum where I discuss sports (and other things) for the last ~20 years and I counted like dozen moderators (+ few sort of admins) in charge of that section so yeah, having few for the whole gambling board is hardly enough. Another big difference there is that mods moderate specific sports and are usually active in discussions so they can easily spot someone who hasn't any clue what he is talking about. Maybe bitcointalk could benefit from such approach and recruit few more mods from active and reputable members there to clear up that mess. Regarding your proposal, I would suggest that signatures be automatically turned off on all posts after 5 pages, because that is more than enough to discuss something constructively, and everything after that is just a repetition of the same ideas and attitudes. That measure would only reduce the amount of posts written in those threads and nothing else, as spammers would easily find the sub-5 pages topics and continue to churn out their spam or they would create new ones. Maybe its just me being used how other forums operate (mods there are less tolerant of duplicate threads) but imho bitcointalk already has way too many topics being opened every single day and any measure that would cause even bigger amount of those is bad in my opinion. Beside that, it would be unfair to penalize posters some topics in gambling board that naturally have a lot of pages. |

This bear market is another opportunity for new investors to get a good deal of bitcoin at a cheaper rates and to also test the patience of the already existing investors New investors usually don't buy during the bear market as they are too afraid, and probably think that bitcoin is going to die and instead they will join us when bitcoin starts pumping again. Those who are buying are an experienced investors who already went through bear market and know how good of an opportunity bitcoin is at the moment. You know what they say, "everyone buys bitcoin at the price they deserve". Personally I don't see bitcoin coming lower than 15k although I think the bear markets will take longer time than we expected, because of the inflation happening and the looming recession talked about. If you check the immediate upsurge after falling to 15k you will see that it cannot go lower than that
Since bitcoin already went close to 15k, I would be very surprised if it doesn't go below in the upcoming days. Thing is, I don't think that we are out of the woods yet becase fall of FTX might bring few other names down. Either buying, I already started buying (bought more bitcoin at ~~15800 last night) but I won't go all and will rather wait and see how this plays out. |

FTX still has $1 billion to deploy, says CEO Sam Bankman-Fried https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGZrZq6z-IgAround minute 3, where he brags about how much money he has and how is set on the side, he actually wanted to let people know that he could easily have the backing for another 1 billion on top of the one claimed. That video didn't age well, and it was made only a month ago. I like how he was described there : JPMorgan/MJ or crypto, saving other companies, billionaire that drives Toyota Corolla and lives in with 10 roomates. This fucker deserves to go to jail, which I doubt will happen. After all, he didn't donate all those millions to Democrats for no reason. Another amusing video, Alameda CEO : "we tend not to have stop losses". And those were the people in charge of billions of dollars.  https://twitter.com/SimonDixonTwitt/status/1591009619790663681
In other news, SBF resigned from CEO position and FTX filed for bankruptcy. https://watcher.guru/news/ftx-files-for-bankruptcy-as-ceo-sam-bankman-fried-resigns |

Po prvi put otkad sam u kriptu vjerujem da postoji šansa da se možda ne oporavi. Ovo nije Mt. Gox ili nešto slično, ovo je 50 puta gore.
Iz kojeg razloga mislis da je sve ovo sto se dogodilo oko FTXa/Alameda Researcha toliko gore od onoga sa Mt.Goxom? Sta nije Mt drzao puno vise marketa (u biti daleko najveci u tom trenutku) nego sto je FTX, te je samim time i njegov raspad bio bolniji za kripto. Mislim svaka cast FTXu, oni jesu bili jedna od najvecih mjenjacnica ali nekako mi se cini da bi eventualno pad Binanca bio usporediv sa Mt.Goxom jer ipak su oni daleko najjaci na trzistu. A sto se tice ovoga da prvi put imas osjecaj da se kripto nece oporaviti (ja sam naprotiv puno mirniji nego 2018) mislim da je tu kljuc jer tek kad vecina bude mislila tako doci ce do polaganog oporavka. Doduse mislim da nismo jos tamo i da moramo ici jos dolje da bi strah i beznadje bili na vrhuncu.
Izgleda da ce jos jedna platforma staviti kljuc u bravu. Naime, BlockFi je obustavio sve withdrawale. Ono sto je zanimljivo je da su samo par sati prije obustavi objavili na twitteru da ce platforma nastaviti raditi bez ikakvih problema, valjda kupovanje vremena da odabrani izvuku lovu. Taj razvoj dogadjaja doduse nije cudo jer ih je jos ljetos FTX izvukao iz govana sa $250M. Mislim da moras biti totalni ludjak da drzis ikakvu lovu na bilo kojoj platformi nakon svega sto se odigralo ne samo ovih dana nego u zadnjih pola godine. Crypto lending platform BlockFi announced it was halting withdrawals Thursday night in the wake of the collapse of crypto exchange FTX. BlockFi said that due to the “lack of clarity” regarding FTX and Alameda, “we are not able to operate business as usual,” and that until there is “further clarity, we are limiting platform activity, including pausing client withdrawals.”
The company asked clients not to deposit into BlockFi Wallet or Interest Accounts at this time, and said it will share more specifics “as soon as possible,” though it warned it likely would communicate “less frequently” than what its clients and stakeholders are used to

Looks like all those rumours from yesterday about some funds moving out of FTX were actually people from Bahamas being able to withdraw their money. I saw some reports of people trying to fake Bahamian IDs in order to go through KYC and get their money out of there.  https://twitter.com/FTX_Official/status/1590783569471115264 |

What is the meaning of proof of reserve? I have not read so much about it but but I was thinking that exchanges uses it to proof indirectly or maybe directly that if they are hacked, they can still be able to recompensate those that are affected? Or is it just a means to only just show the total amount of money the exchange has? I thought it is the total amount an exchange has in cold wallet?
Point of exchanges providing proof of reserve is to show that they didn't play with client's money (like SBF did) and that they have it in their custody. Audit is done via 3rd party to ensure that what they are claiming is actually true. As I said in my previous post, that can be manipulated as well so it shouldn't be used as an argument for storing your crypto on an exchange that provided that. |

While its probably better to show Proof-Of-Reserve than not, I don't think that is the reason to trust exchanges more than before. These things can still be manipulated (and most likely will be) and after everything that happened lately you have to be crazy to trust CEX, no matter the evidence they show.
The only way to be sure that your crypto (read bitcoin) is safe is if its in your own non-custodial wallet.

Lets see whose next , if you face any issues while withdrawing funds in your preferred exchange , let know others in this thread[/b]
Honestly, whoever still has money on one of these platforms after everything that has happened this year he simply doesn't care and maybe deserves to lose some of his money to learn a lesson. It was obvious what will eventually happen with BlockFi ever since they got $250M loan from FTX back in June in order to remain operational so people had enough time to withdraw their money. Just hours before that announcement they claimed that platform has no issues whatsoever and that it remains fully operational and we see what happened. So next time when you see similar "encouraging" announcement coming from your exchange, take the money and run.  https://twitter.com/BlockFi/status/1590705864448495616 |

To be honest those are newly want to enter in Bitcoin world this is a chance for them to accumulate.
Problem is that those who are new are usually too scared to buy during bear market and during times like these they have a feeling that bitcoin will never recover, or they are even selling with a loss. People who are mainly buying now are those who went through several bear markets and know that this is nothing new. So if you want to buy, now is a good opportunity to stock as much BTC you can get your hands on and hold for the bull market
While current price is not bad at all, there is an alternative to going all in, and that is https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dollarcostaveraging.asp (dollar cost average) method, which I personally prefer. That way you don't have to waste your time by trying to time the bottom (which has more to do with luck rather than skill) and instead you just keep buying more bitcoin in regular intervals. |

No, he's not kidding and he's not even trolling, he actually believes this crap, just as he believes a lot of the stuff he has posted with both this new one and his other three to five as I've lost count of his accounts.
Ah I haven't realized that I was actually talking to the latest polo7/325btc alt account, thanks for the heads up. Since talking to him is like playing a pigeon chess and I am too old for that crap, I just added him on my ignore list. |

Exchangers like binance Are safer then banks and walllets. You have to be kidding right, after everything that has happened lately and with the exchanges track record so far. Becouse If something happens they always refund losses. Yeah, right. They may cover some smaller loses due hacks, but when shit hits the fan (like in FTX case) you will see how they "always refund losses". Binance have done this many times and i know there someone to watch over my wealth. Yes, what we would do without dear CZ and him watching over our wealth. Private wallets they can be hacked but nobody dont refund. Yes, because if you get hacked it no one else's fault by your own. Man up, take responsibility for your actions instead expecting someone else to do it better for you. We live of generation of refund, in crypto main thing Are refund what i did learn about.
Then unfortunately you learned nothing. Nothing wrong with Fiat as long as they print it and give to me  Ever heard for something called inflation? |

If you're trading crypto right now or have been in the last couple of days, yikes! I can't imagine doing that as a job, but I bet you there are members here who do just that. I know a couple of people that are regularly trading (one of them is pro and living solely off that and few that are pretty good at it but its still just something that they do on a side) and all of them absolutely killed it in the last few days. From what they told me, good traders shouldn't really care that much whether its bull or bear market as long there is some volatility and there wasn't lack of that lately. As a matter of fact, that pro guy I know performs better during bear market as he is better at shorting. But yeah I have to agree with you, I can't imagine doing that for a job and I would rather do the most tedious manual job than that as I simply don't have the stomach and patience for it. DCA+hold worked pretty good for me so no need to change the approach. |
