Nice reads, can't say for sure as may never get the chance to read them, nor such an interest in that particular brand/ideology. I have a more "indigenous" leaning of liberty (where there is no concept of ownership even, at odds with Bitcoin or even money), but that's more from my birth and circumstance, and being a realist I know I can only become familiar with those ideas, not intimate, despite my origins.

They're all around, and while they might have been vibrant in the cypherpunk newsgroups, I wouldn't count on finding them here on this forum.

Of all people getting a name change, well, well done. Should really make a campaign for myself to try a bit harder, though I suppose the name now sticks even for me.

Chelski put up a defence, I see... Did they even try to win?
2764  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - what price would you sell? on: January 05, 2023, 06:57:09 PM
Said it at least a couple of times on this forum, and do not mind repeating as it has been some years, but that I personally had a price target, and a time target.

Not because I wanted to, but because I had to make it predictable for those who would inherit my coins in the possibility I do not make it into the next decade.

Then they definitely will ask this question, and to do away with the requirement that they also inherit my Bitcoin beliefs, I set a price and date target. Whichever hits first, they sell.
2765  Economy / Speculation / Re: Who thinks DCG / Genesis / Grayscale / Barry are bad actors? on: January 05, 2023, 03:32:50 PM
Hate to say it but you cannot really be a good actor if you're a corporate that prioritises profit -- especially in an largely unregulated space where there really is no need to be ethical or even honest.

Not saying any of those guys named are bad actors. Just find it really hard to call a corporate a good actor. Neutral, sure, even positive.
2766  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Argentina's Leading Presidential Candidate Preaches Bitcoin on: January 05, 2023, 02:32:10 PM
Argentinians have long been looking for a solution. Long before whatever president in power decided. Those in power have led their country down a dark economic path in the last decade... No different from many LatAm leaders, to be sure, but they do not get to be heroes for embracing Bitcoin when they are responsible for the hyperinflation blitzing their people.

Grassrooters like La Bitcoineta has been fighting the good fight for years. Don't need another president hopeful to do nothing.

Just checking resulta, no watching for me until next week... Atalanta just cannot save themselves, can they?

Pretty sure I made all my picks already some time back, BTTS heaven as usual hm?
I will help you out then with a bit of graphic commentary. Juve back to their old antics, playing like shit, getting their woodwork hit a couple of times and then free kick in 90+ minutes. And of course they score it trough the wall and from woodwork. And just to mention in addition to hitting posts their opponents also had 2 goals disallowed.

Juve back to what they were doing best in the past. Don't think I am salty cause of the result, I actually had Juve for win in the pool and placed a bet live on them since I had a feeling how it will finish  Grin

Haha thanks man, always appreciate reading through posts like this when I don't have TV. I honestly thought Napoli win was great value too, when I saw the odds favouring Inter, but I guess the bookies knew better and I had no idea of lineups when I placed the bets last week.

Agree this league's become so much fun, and dare I say, Juve's fall started with Ronaldo?
2768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: January 05, 2023, 12:10:37 PM
Whoa hey I just saw my Superbru give me a wall of red -- don't remember the last time I got everything wrong, though of course, in 53rd position, I was just trying to get a round of upsets to get a leg up. Climb to 30th and then maybe change my strategy again.

Trofo doing pretty well at the moment, you going for a draw tonight? @cryptofrka 55/10 Chelsea win too good for me to ignore.
2769  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 25th Seed Phrase on: January 05, 2023, 09:28:07 AM
even a latest hardware wallet. a hacker can simply set up a phished/emulating GUI display to show "error with device. to reset device please re enter your seed" or whatever their error pages look like to get people to type it in.
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.

Yeah if I saw a message like that pop up on any damned device, I'd know I was hacked and immediately wash off.

Problem is, and I'm sure I'm not exaggerating, most people, not some, would enter their seed phrase if they saw a message requesting it.

Now that actually reminds me that I've rarely seen warning messages about never ever responding to seed phrase requests...
2770  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The mistake I made some years ago on: January 05, 2023, 09:04:04 AM
Right, an actual pyramid scheme actually sold actual bitcoin? That's definitely the first time I've heard of it. Pretty sure you're referring to one of those Bitcoin doublers or HYIP thingies (I know it's pedantic but it does make a difference).

I didn't lose the Bitcoins that I bought thru a pyramid scheme, but I lost the Satoshis that I got from faucets in a cloud mining website that turned out to be a scam.

You never lost it if you never withdrew them to your own wallet, which at least OP did Wink

To be fair, I've used "cloud mining" sites that actually paid out, but they were paying out cents for a lot of work on your end. Wouldn't call them scams, just a big waste of time.

2771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: January 04, 2023, 09:03:48 PM
@toke what are you following these days if not football? What the hell could be better than football??
I noticed the change when the covid lock downs started some time in 2020.  There was nothing on except the UFC.  So I got way deeper into it than I already did.

Didn't even realise that was still on. I sort of remember the onset and being a lot more occupied with work and family at the time -- even if football had been around, I'd have been too tied up to really focus. It wasn't even really tough for me in particular, but definitely some crazy time for the family back home.

Your post reminded me.

I have to say I didn't have your same regard for Eddie Howe, one has to see how long he can take that effect into his teams -- he is a bit like Klopp in that regard, can't seem to maintain success with the same personnel after some years.

My respect was for Potter but even then I think Chelsea was a step too high up.

So you trust a guy and then ask what research he did?

Are you also going to accept all the information we will post here with the same full trust?

What is stopping you from following the lead of any number of influencers investing in any number of assets?

Bitcoin is a lot about self teaching and self discovery. If you aren't willing, I would say it is not for you.
2774  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is hodling top 10 Marketcap coins a good tactic? on: January 04, 2023, 02:53:08 PM
I remember seeing an article about some dude who put $5 in every single coin listed on Binance. It was some years ago & I can’t find the article now but he made a lot of money after being patient for a few years.

As it was a while ago I don’t know if this would be a good idea now as there are a lot more shitcoins than there once were.

I sort of tried something like this years ago. Much smaller sample, though, as I probably just bought about 20/30 coins. All sizable trading volume back then.

They almost all made a lot of money in 2017 but I kept the experiment going and they are almost all dead or close to death.

In the end, Bitcoin and somewhat Ethereum worked out best.

Timebound strategy, this I guess.
2775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🦊 Betnomi.com | FPL Football Pool ⚽ Discussion Thread on: January 03, 2023, 06:36:38 PM
And I proved to myself I am at the most disorganised stage of my adult life. Not only forgot to do my FPL brought the wrong device to travel...

Damn! That hurts, lol.
As I write this, Darwin and Salah have already dropped a catastrophe.  Grin

Yeah, actually don't think either of them were in my squad anyway but I really needed to purge a couple of long-term injuries. Not unhappy at all, kind of really need my own recharge in real life, so happy to assess the damage in my FPL when I can sit down this weekend.

Maybe this time I actually get Nunez in, am sure his price will have dropped by now?
2776  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this the perfect indicator for long term investors on: January 03, 2023, 04:32:53 PM
Just pointing out that long-term investors don't really need trading indicators -- unless you're looking at significant and cyclical buying... in which case the first 75% drop post-ATH or the one post-halving are pretty much the "perfect" top-up periods.

DCA takes care of that stress of watching though Wink
That is what exactly I do, I do 50% unfortunately and that was a wrong move on my behalf, loaded up around 30-35k range myself and got some more at 22-24k range as well, so I am not doing amazing for the recent ones but I got some from 2018 so it is doing not bad at all and I am fine about it.

Nah, 50% from ATH isn't a wrong move at all (think of those who bought at 10k after the 2017 ATH, they're all still very much in the black at today's prices, no? So maybe you're in the red now, but wait for the next cycle -- that's kind of the whole point of DCA, giving us time to recharge and accumulate, and to be okay in the very long term.
2777  Other / Archival / Re: Long-term Bitcoin accumulation continues on: January 03, 2023, 03:49:08 PM
2022 was one of the worst years for Bitcoin.
I feel like it's not really a big huge deal for cyrpto considering how many bad years we had followed by great years eventually. Sure 2022 was a terrible year and we have lost more marketcap this year than most marketcaps total in previous years.

I don't mean to dismiss what a bad year 2022's been but I still feel like 2018/19 were really bad years that this year still hasn't quite matched up to. Those years, we didn't really have much in terms of Bitcoin internal issues (2017 was the threat with the network split, in my memory). FTX and Terra etc... these were big events but we still maintained a low just below 2016.
2778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Celebrate Bitcoin anniversary on the 3rd of January - run a node on: January 03, 2023, 07:52:59 AM
Hmm... hack on a dev I would probably have named among the last to ever get hacked. Need to read up on that when I'm back from break.

Not the best way to greet the new year but I suppose this is the way Bitcoin usually is a year after ATH, just down in the dumps.

Definitely time to recharge and continue the story of stronger fundamentals!
2779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: January 02, 2023, 02:03:12 PM
New Australian Open specials are up, you need to opt in!

https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2023-01-australian-open-promo

Only Nadal has the outright promo, so I'm wasn't sure about taking it, but hell, I'm sure he wins at least a couple of games, so that's $20 coming in freebets already!

The in-play offer's what's interesting, but I probably won't be able to make any bets this week (no min odds, $125 bet and you get $25 freechip). Value!

Holy heck, iirc your favourite team is Liverpool isnt it. I wouldnt ever go or bet on Manchester United to get a draw or lose lol, like I'd rather skip the betting part and just enjoy the game lol. I mean its just feels weird alongside of the game when I bet on my favourite team to take a draw while I honestly want them to get full 3 points

Haha yup. Today I get to just bet and only find out the result late, late tonight. Probably good to have some days like these as watching Liverpool in the last couple of games have not been good at all for the heart.
2780  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: January 02, 2023, 01:32:21 PM
@cryptofrka yeah the way we play, if I didn't have feelings for Liverpool I'd be very excited about Brentford.

But because of my bias, I feel I got pretty decent odds on Liverpool if I say so myself at about 16/10. Actually can still get it 17/10 at Sportsbet with boost but there is a pretty good tip for Liverpool and almost any favourite in EPL this season: wait for them to concede first.

Toney probably not as badly injured as he appeared but our away form is horrible, hence the odds. But Numez could have had a hattrick in the last three... Maybe floodgates finally open?

In fact, handicaps for the team conceding first seems the way to go. Trofo's BTTS also solid but I would only use it on Betbuilder.
