The data for 2022 says that the US public debt is slightly less than $27 trillion, but if you look at the public debts of other countries in relation to their GDP, you will see that there are many whose debt is over 100% in relation to GDP, and Greece and Japan have even over 200%. It is undeniable that the US is in a problem, but a lot of other countries are in an even bigger problem and I am much more worried about everyone else than about the US - because they will find a way to get out of the problem, just like before.

The OP has been registered on the forum since 2018, and he mainly dealt with bounty campaigns - and what kind of experience will you gain from that?

The fans of the great leader still live in the belief that he saved them from complete ruin, although CZ is basically the same as Bankman, only he is much more cunning and experienced, so he still manages to avoid his company going downhill. The dubious business that this company conducts around the world, the avoidance of paying taxes, the listing of tokens/coins that are nothing but a scam are nothing that anyone should be proud of.

Do you think it is positive that CZ advocates the idea that we should keep our coins in his CEX, because we are obviously too stupid to do it ourselves and we will lose them sooner or later?

You seem to have a very big problem when it comes to basic online security, because how else can you explain that every single one of your BTT accounts has been hacked? If you get your accounts back, make sure that their password is unique, with a sufficient number of characters (random), and that you use an e-mail that will be exclusively connected to your BTT account.

Do not save login data online or as plain text on a computer, and it is also not wise to log in on shared computers, nor to use publicly available Wi-Fi networks.

The job of central banks is to protect national currencies at all costs, and this does not exclude influencing public opinion through their statements, which are always adapted to the moment in which they are released to the public. In addition, the head of the ECB is a woman who has repeatedly made statements that are completely negative when it comes to Bitcoin, although it can always be read between the lines that they see a much greater threat in stablecoins, which are a far greater threat to the system they represent.

I noticed that the price of eggs and chicken went up, but I didn't connect it to the bird flu, because for some reason this news was not widely reported in the EU. However, it seems that last year was marked as "the most devastating" in the EU in the last few years, which probably affects the prices of poultry products.

It seems that our chickens and turkeys will soon have to be vaccinated, and what will happen to wild birds, will they also be caught and vaccinated?

A terrible tragedy has struck Turkey and I can only say that I sympathize with the Turkish people and hope that help will reach all who need it as soon as possible. A few years ago, less powerful earthquakes also hit my country and caused great material damage, but what happened in Turkey is a terrible tragedy that can hardly be compared to anything else. What I know is that a special team of 40 people with tracking dogs has been sent from my country and that other countries are sending help.

I will gladly send my donation as soon as the BTC address is available🇹🇷

It's clear from my previous posts that I don't share all that enthusiasm about China and Bitcoin, although I understand why most people are fascinated by just the possibility of this happening. However, it is wrong to look at things only from the perspective of quick profit, and not to look at the long-term effects of such a decision. I would not like to go through all those dramas that have always been going on somewhere in the background of the Chinese crypto industry made up of lies, deceptions and insane trading volumes that they used to manipulate prices.

I know I'm asking too much, but will people realize that China has always done more harm than good for Bitcoin?

Nobody wants to go to jail, and if that's the punishment even for owning cryptocurrencies in your country, then accepting them as a means of payment in your store is nothing more than asking for something bad to happen to you. You have to accept that you live in a country that does not have a friendly attitude towards such things, and the only way to change that is to change the current politicians, which means that the crypto community should be much more active in the next elections and elect people who think differently (if they exist).

Another way is to move to another country that doesn't have such laws, but that's not an easy decision to make, especially if you have someone you care about and you can't take them with you.

Plagiarism is against the rules of the forum and the punishment is a permanent ban - and some have already expressed their suspicion that your posts are the work of AI. Also, someone who just came to the forum is certainly not qualified to immediately start discussions about how to make the forum a better place - because first you need to gain some experience to be able to help others with advice.

In my opinion, GA should have become a person of distrust the moment he went to the most famous three-letter agency and opened his soul on the subject of Bitcoin (for compensation, of course). I always wondered how Satoshi could even consider such a man as a trustworthy person and give him credibility after he left.

The damage done by GA when he stood by Faketoshi is irreparable regardless of all his apologies - and the question is why he is bringing up this topic again as if anyone with a modicum of common sense doesn't understand what actually happened.

I don't know how much that debt amounts to in the EU (if it is possible to determine it at all), but I know from personal experience that most people reach for credit cards and that this has become quite normal. I think that last year in my country, even the government intervened because the banks approved very high loans, without clearly informing the clients about the conditions, and this led many into debts that they could hardly pay back. As @Mauser wrote in his post, at a time when we have record high inflation, it is to be expected that people will reach for any possible help that is within their reach, no matter how much it costs them in the end.

It's very easy to trick people into thinking that a bull run has started, whether it's Bitcoin or stocks, but somehow it doesn't seem to me that ordinary buyers have taken the bait this time. I read some analyzes about what possibly caused the positive changes in most markets at the beginning of this year, and some claim that big investors, mostly from the West, are responsible for it - considering that the jumps happened at a time when the Asian market was inactive.

I don't know exactly when this idea was first mentioned, but I found a topic from 2017 in which you also participated, and at the time 21 BTC didn't seem like a big number to most people - although according to your calculation it only took about $40 000 to become a member of that club.


I agree that it is an unattainable goal for most, especially if someone is starting from scratch, and even if you had 10 BTC it would still be a big challenge. In that case, selling those 10 BTC at the peak and then buying after a 60-70% correction would definitely be a ticket to that club.

If you buy Bitcoin only to sell it at a higher price at some point, then you are making a really stupid move if you do it during a big bull run and then find yourself in trouble when the correction follows. Anyone who has any idea how the market works will not find themselves in such a situation, but it seems that there are many who have not learned anything from the mistakes made by other people.

I agree that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, because that's the only correct way to try to protect yourself from all risks - but in general, fiat is one of the worst ways to store value, especially if you look at it in the long term. It's true that Bitcoin is extremely volatile, but if you were to take a 4-year period into account, anyone who invested in late 2018 at a price of roughly $3500 has profited over 600% today.

If we know that the only correct way is for everyone to be their own bank, that is, to control their private keys - then all ideas of lending Bitcoin for the purpose of making money are completely wrong. If you just look at what happened in January this year, ask yourself the question - where else could you have profited as much as 40% in just 30 days and all that without risking and doing practically nothing?

Don't you think that 1% of all possible BTC is too much? Even at today's prices, 210 000 BTC is an amount that even the biggest Bitcoin bulls like Saylor or the Winklevoss twins don't have - and realistically nobody needs that much wealth. In some earlier days, there was some idea about joining the 21 BTC club, and I think that this amount for the future is quite enough to make everyone a millionaire in USD or EUR.

I have noticed several topics in which the member in question tries to promote his ref link from one CEX, and also to his personal website, which I assume contains many more Ponzi schemes. In any case, promoting ref links in posts as well as any type of hidden advertising in posts is prohibited.

That was some kind of idea in the beginning, but when people realized that Bitcoin works better for them as an investment than as a currency, we got what we have today.


I thought that those geniuses from various companies dealing with blockchain analysis had strange ideas in the past when they said that all BTC that has not been moved for 4 years is lost, but now I see that there are those who have even stranger ideas. For someone who has been on the forum for a long time, where long-term investing is discussed dozens of times every day, you really have strange thoughts - and not only when it comes to this topic.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but adding a card to a PP account does not mean that all limits are removed - because PP blocks the account after a certain limit has been used, and requires verification with personal documents. Verification by adding a card and verification with personal documents are two completely different things.

The only thing I can find that matches the description of what the OP describes is the following page :


It doesn't seem very credible at first glance, and it probably isn't, considering that without registration it is impossible to find out any useful information.

How did you conclude that you have something, and you yourself say that you don't see anything on your "account"? On the one hand, the one who deceived you is guilty, but you are equally guilty because you believed in such a foolish thing. This type of scam is one of the simplest, but it also seems to be very effective, whether it is selling watch-only wallets or paying some kind of fees to enable the withdrawal of funds.

I hope you've learned your lesson, in the end it's just money that you obviously have - otherwise you wouldn't be able to allow yourself to throw it around so lightly.
