currently I am one of the assistant bounty managers, currently there are many cheaters who follow the campaign that we are managing and what we find that the cheaters are starting to act again with multiple accounts by creating a new bitcointalk account to join the bounty then using other people's social media link profiles
-snip-
What's wrong with using other people's social media account? As far as I know, you are allowed to have multiple accounts (as long as you are not ban evading). If you don't want users to with multiple accounts to join your campaign, mention it on the rules. Do the same if people aren't allowed to use other peoples social media account. Not, if participants break the rules, it is your responsibility to remove them from the campaign. You are getting paid for that. I also have difficulty handling it because they also create PoA in every campaign so that it makes us not know who the original owner of the social media is
Like I said, you are getting paid for it. If you think you can't handle it, then tell the person who hired you to find someone more suitable to do the job. so I invite all of you to do the same by double-checking the bounty spreadsheet that you are following and if you find your social media profiles on other bitcointalk accounts to give negative trust
Not going to happen. I mean, why would someone care about the participants breaking the rules if they themselves aren't a part of that bounty program? |

I wouldn't call that a strategy. It is more like a diversified investment where you will invest on different crypto currencies to minimize your loss and maximize your profit. But that doesn't always happen in case of crypto currencies since since the values of other altcoins are somewhat related to that of bitcoin. If we see the price of bitcoin dropping, we will see that the price of other altcoins also going down.
Diversification is good, but make sure you are investing in the right altcoins. There are lots of shitty coins out there! Best thing to do is invest maximum of your funds in bitcoin while using rest of your funds to invest in other "well known" altcoins.

That is probably a fake/phishing email. Look at the pattern of the email. Does it contain your username or address anywhere? Do they address you using your email address or name? If that is the case, highly likely its a phishing email. Your email probably got leaked somewhere else (a faucet or crypto related site) and now they are using to send phishing emails acting like random but well known sites. Don't click on the email. Make sure your account is secure and has 2fa enabled. You can safely ignore that email.

I would be really glad if this loser is extradited to the United States. He ruined so many lives, and caused hundreds of millions of USD in losses to the cryptocurrency users, by promoting scam ICOs. He continued to promote them even after knowing that these projects were scams. Those who invested in these projects after listening to him lost their hard earned savings. I hope he will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
I am really surprised seeing people still following him and promoting his acts even after those stupid and dumb statements that he made against bitcoin after he disowned his prediction about bitcoin. I wonder why everyone still listens to him. He has branded himself as one of the craziest guy in the earth. All started back in 2012 after he went all paranoid due to those murder investigation and everything. He is already 75 years old. Don't think he will be spending much behind bars. |

They are billionaires. They can afford to lose hundred thousands of dollars without any problem. They have enough money to even throw them away. So instead of keep those money idle (idle cash) in bank with low returns and no safety, they decided to invest in bitcoin. They know the potential behind bitcoins and crypto currencies, so they are just testing out their luck. If the price of crypto currencies skyrocket after years based on what they have heard, then they will be even more rich. If it doesn't and drops, they just lost "few" million dollars which they probably don't care about at all.

Yeah, and now we have to bet on sharks and when they are going to migrate to the other part? How do people come up with these stupid games? The last time I remember seeing a post over here were people were placing bets on fighting spiders. What are they going to come up with next? Which celebrity is going to die first? Or which country is going to be nuked first?
And why do people even bet on those games? What's wrong with betting in normal games?

Yeah, it is a success to be honest. Instead of canceling it for Covid, they took steps to bring back the leagues on. Even though, all those setups (virtual crowd) might seem a bit odd at first, but at least the games are back. The only difference is that all people are now watching the game live instead of being in the game. It is not like everyone goes to watch the game. The average audience watching the NBA game live was almost the same (around 3 million). Then there is this virtual live audience thing for hardcore fans where they are virtually present in the game as a crowd and can cheer for their team.
Even with low ratings and small revenue (as expected), I consider this new normal setup as a success. It's not that easy to set up an own bubble amid the dangerous pandemic.
The revenue dropped, but the ratings are the same as far as I know. |

If bitcoin has been appreciating gradually like you wanted, how would millions of investors get into the market? By now it would be close to 100,000 USD thereby keeping away would-be investors, thus leaving cryptosphere in the hands of whales and institutional investors. So prices have to fluctuate to let some investors in and out of the market. So let bitcoin be. It has garnered a lot of traction in adoption. So i think it has grown over the years
How would they get into the market? By investing in fractions of a coin. You do not have to own 1 full bitcoin or any other crypto currency to invest and make profit. You can also make profit my investing in fractions of a coin. If a bitcoin costs 100k USD, you can invest in 0.0001 BTC and still make some decent profit. I wonder why people keeps on thinking that they have to own a full coin to make profits. If you still want to own a whole coin, then try investing in other cheaper well known altcoins. I am sure there will be tons of such altcoins. |

I would never say bitcoin is for investors only. It is for everyone. Some people invest in bitcoin and other crypto currencies hoping that they will make some good profit in the long run. Others invest in it to use it as a regular currency due to its flexibility (i know its currently not as much flexible as fiat currency, but with government showing positive attitude and interest towards crypto currencies, we are getting there). Like look at those gamblers. They don't have to go through all those banks and other hassles. They can just invest deposit their coins within seconds on their casino wallets and start gambling right away. Again, there are people that are using crypto currencies "just for fun". They enjoy trying out new technologies and like to experiment with it.

Great. I hope the movie ends up giving a positive image towards the usage of crypto currencies and the blockchain technology. At least more people will get to know about bitcoin and other crypto currencies while watching this movie. The movie might also be able to make people more aware of this kinds of scams and schemes. But, if the movie somehow gives out the wrong message, there will be those dumb people who will think all crypto currencies are scam and are just a ponzi scheme. Please do not connect one coin to crypto and blockchain, it was sold as a decentralized crypto coin but in reality it was a fake coin that never existed on blockchain. So please we should avoid headlines that can negatively effect overall reputation of crypto market.

Show me shops where i can spend crypto ...
crypto is useless...
type "buy with bitcoin" on google search and you will not find any major retailer using bitcoin or other cryptos
So what's the point of crypto if i can't use it to buy stuff ?
You sure you googled it properly? I know hundreds of websites that accept bitcoin as a form of payment. Even you are accepting cryptocurrencies/bitcoin as a form of payment (based on your signature and a post in the link you provided). So, if you think crypto currencies are useless, why are you accepting it? Even if those "major" retailers aren't aren't accepting crypto currencies, you can still buy from them indirectly using cryptocurrencies. Buy a giftcard with bitcoin and spend it over there! |

As far as I know, I do not think cryptocurrency is affected by recession in my country. I can tell because my country is a shithole full of corrupt government officials and I always check the prices of bitcoin in my country. To be fair, the value of our currency is stable and the only thing that a state can have influence on cryptocurrency is that when it intervenes which is by far not happening in my country yet. And I am happy that they haven't intervened yet.
I don't think just one single government from a single country intervening such as banning bitcoin won't have much of an impact in a country. If it did have, it is going to be a short term impact, after which the prices should recover. Remember, bitcoin is decentralized. No single government controls it. Lets say a country that has somewhat a little influence in bitcoin, bans the usage of it. We will see people from other countries are now panic selling because they are thinking that their government might ban it too. This is turn will cause a small price drop. But once everything goes back to normal and people realize that they are safe, the price will recover. |

About the recent trend on Bitcoin which some companies started to buy Bitcoins and make it as the company's reserve. Recent was the Square company. So my purpose of this thread is to talk about the companies that have Bitcoin as company reserve. Is the government can seize or they have the right for those Bitcoins they bought? If ever there will be some serious violations on the low for any companies that owns Bitcoin as company reserve? Here, we can see some of the companies that already owned Bitcoin : Bitcoin Treasuries in Publicly Traded CompaniesYes, as far as I am aware, the government can seize your bitcoins! I remember few weeks ago I read somewhere that the government seized bitcoin worth around millions from a group (a charity organization or something like that) that were financing terrorists. Not sure, how they seize the coins (probably takes control of the address through private keys and then moves the bitcoin), but they actually can. Has happened multiple times before. Those coins are then auctioned off. So yeah, the government can seize a company reserve that's in bitcoin. |

Your title is kind of misleading. For a moment I thought you were saying what if a newbies starts a real "project". If that was the case, I would give them a benefit of doubt. But, based on current situation, it would likely be a shit project. There are lots of so called newbie devs that are making random projects to scam people.
But, I guess you are talking about newbie users over here working on behalf of a project to promote the projects. In that case, if the project itself looks legit, then I would have no problem joining those (but i dont do those. 99% of them are waste). But if its some random project handled by a random guy, then no.

Bitcoin Not User Friendly Yet
Hello everyone. For all of us who are very pro Bitcoin and other crypto.
We all look to the day that more people use it and accept it as daily use.
However we are far from that. One thing that I am finding is Bitcoin is still not user friendly enough.
Many people even who are young like 25 and under and even over 25 etc. Are not tech knowledge or financial educated enough to understand.
I am thinking that even the apps out there are still confusing for people to use.
Sure many people may own a mobile phone but many do not understand how they work.
Therefore many people do not understand Bitcoin and seems too complicated still.
What are 5 things you think are needed to make Bitcoin more easy for people to use.
More less they can use and move Bitcoin without really being mindful of what they are doing in a transaction.
Thoughts
Not friendly enough in terms of what? You don't have to know how bitcoin and blockchain works to use it as long as you know the complete basics. Learning the the basics probably doesn't even take more than 30 minutes. You don't have to be a techy guy to understand how to use bitcoin. And people who are young that are having hard time to understand what bitcoin is, I guess they aren't even trying. If they know how to make online transactions using paypal or anyother service, its going to be a piece of cake for them to make transaction using bitcoin. |

Looks like a scam. Nothing about the casino anywhere. No review nothing. But did find some reviews about funxbet.com (no "s" at the end). So a casino with almost the same name of another casino does not sound like legit casino at all, other than a bait site to scam users trying to access funxbets. Avoid that casino. And $100 minimum deposit is absurd. More red flags!
Why don't you try one of the well known crypto casinos? There are tons in the gambling section. Check them out.

Old scam. Sadly people still fall for these scams. Weird how people were still sending money to those wallets. Like, the people who send those money, why do they think that people are going to give them free money? Even billionaires don't "give away" money. They donate money to charities and organization. How stupid do you have to be to fall for these scams?
More weird thing is, youtube does nothing. If it comes to copyright contents, they take it down right away. By the way, those 700k live viewers are bots probably.

The price difference of each ATM is too high. I wonder what is the difference between a $20,000 and a $1,900 bitcoin ATM. Or is it just those two ways ATM that are more expensive?
what are two way atm's? btc to fiat and fiat to crypto? if that is then they can add a price on it because this was still an extra feature and its useful . operators can more of it compare to a normal atm because people are gonna use it more to withdraw to and to cash in fiat to btc . quality of the atm is also behind of the price difference . good quality is equals to high price and low to mid quality are more cheaper . Correct. There are some ATMs that are two way, which means you can buy and sell crypto currencies. there name looks like a joke and untrusted , no wonder why they are illegal . if the name is shitcoin , does it mean they also sell shitcoin inside this atm ?
Not really. I doubt any ATMs would sell shit coins. Too risky for them. As far as I have heard, shitcoinclub were one of the ATMs with a very low and a reasonable fee. Too bad none of them operates where I live. And their name has nothing to do with shitcoins. There are actually very popular in Europe because of their fees and very low KYC requirements. I don't understand what kind of KYC verification users will have to pass when using Bitcoin ATM? Can anyone enlighten me in this case?
Like malevolent said, depends from country to country and the amount you want to withdraw. So far I just had to do phone verification and ID scanning (for high withdrawals). Used ATMs that had fingerprints, but never had to provide any. |

Although I don't know how legitimate you are but many bet company now have cash out system and that can help gamblers have chance to take out their little winning if they change their mind and take the one they have seen.
You still have doubts? They have no proof of anything. No registration proof, nothing! And you still have doubts if they are "legit". And why would someone want to use a "broker" or "agent" to place bets on their behalf? Wouldn't that be a breach of terms of every casino? As far as I know, casinos allows you to gamble only with your own money. You can't place bets on behalf of others. And what if they lose your money for some other reason besides gambling? I doubt they will take any responsibility. |

Very true. And cashapp can for sure be the “next Amazon” delivering bitcoin to every householdin the US.
The only disturbing fact is the number of stocks with such multiples on the market. How many “next Amazon” can be around? But this is OT here...
The number of scams going through cashapp is quite concerning. I remember reading a news few days ago where a merchant got scammed after accepting cashapp from one of its random client. Check reddit, there are thousands of people complaining how they are getting scammed and having no protection at all from those scams. Also, there are shit tons of users making cashapp accounts with fake/stolen identities. But, yeah. Scams are everywhere. It is just us who has to be careful. Though why is cashapp going to be the next amazon for delivering bitcoin? The last time I used cashapp with crypto currency buy/sell enabled, it wasn't user friendly at all. |
