Let's say just like a car that won't move far if it doesn't have gasoline.
It helps to sustain your expenses while you are here just like the electricity bill and your internet bill.

But newbies shouldn't think first about the profit/benefit and shouldn't not only the reason why they are here.  It should be a determination to gain knowledge and improve skills while they are here.  Because IMO, the more you are eager to make a profit will have to idea of cheating while you are here which probably ends up destroying your account once you've caught it.

Anyway, encourage someone is a good idea to join here in the community but there's no reason to force them if they will not.

I tend to agree if the wallet sender supports RBF that would be a great option to boost the transaction using double spending but if on exchange there's nothing he can do but wait until it is confirmed.  It's two weeks have passed and eventually, if the transaction does not push through in 14 days, it will drop from the mempool and back to the sender's wallet.  I think OP needs a few more days before that will happen since it was already 14 days have passed.

We should always check the mempool space for the transaction fee if you're in a hurry and don't use below 10 sat/vB fee for transactions because it will eventually stuck and you need to wait a couple of days.   Use a high fee if necessary for convenient transactions based on mempool space transaction status.

Can you name what CEX it is?
One reason could be the marketing strategy why would they do that, they're looking to attract traders who can bring liquidity and contribute to the exchange's trading volumes if CEX is new to the trading business.

It could be they offer copy trading for the elite traders so that they can stand out among other traders.
Just try out if you want to, but make it sure the find you will use is the amount that you can afford to use.

IMO, let it be into default rather than having mistakes in exploring the forum.
If you're a newbie might be good but if you'd already established your account seems valuable to you, I don't.

The BPIP browser extension also has many features that you can open aside from the forum features.
IMO, this isn't a necessary feature if you read and understand the OP's topic first before interacting discussion.

But anyway, thank you for sharing this.

IMO this depends on your specific goals and financial situation.  So if your primary goal is to maximize your income potential and career opportunities, investing in education may be the right choice, and pursuing a higher degree can lead to personal growth and development, expanding your knowledge and skills which your education typically doesn't lose value over time, unlike some investments like real estate.

At the age of 30 onwards, should you have your own business for the long-term purpose, the skills that you have you can use in your business that suit your skills.

There are a few successful open-source projects that have found ways to sustain themselves while keeping their core software open and free.
Though it can be indeed challenging to monetize an open-source project like wallet software, but IMO, it's not impossible as you have these transparencies and securities, the last part of which is building trust in the community would be a great idea.

Anyway, it seems this is a good proposal of yours, good luck and hoping for your success.

I've read all the comments above and usually, forum members do not get hacked, others might experience hacking but it was since they are a newbie.  The same on my side, I never get hacked and I'm lucky that I'm a part of this community where I am always aware of the possible hacks and how to avoid them in the future.  Those people who have been hacked might be because they're new to this crypto world.

As long as you are technically knowledgable I think you are far from that hack, scam, or even fraud.

Thanks for the heads up.

We shouldn't use apps from unknown sources and this proves that using mobile isn't safe at all when it comes to the crypto wallet or any valuable stuff, it's always prone to malware infection since we usually use our phones daily.

So this could be sent through links right?
As I can see this article it seems there are too many ways you might be affected.

Sounds frustrating if you'll wait this long.
I just wanted to know if those paid services of Bitcoin transaction accelerators will help in this case like ViaBTC since it has many partners in a mining pool.

Next time you should wait at least 3 confirmations before making such deal, it's a safe indication that you are making a good transactions but anyway since it was a reputable buyer, it might worth it to wait.

No one can tell when it will happen if you know how the Bitcoin price trend plays and how the price volatility plays on the market.  The demand and supply make the price become volatile so you can't maintain the price on its position.
It should be patience and a long-term perspective often yield the best results, as the market can be unpredictable in the short term.

Since it's unpredictable, IMO it should be patience is key for those holding Bitcoin, as market cycles can be lengthy, and profit would not come up in a day holding of Bitcoin.

They are willing to exploit the vulnerability or desperation of others and they may not care about the harm they cause as long as they achieve their goals, to steal money.  This might be taking advantage of those people who really seeking hope to get back their lost funds from FTX.  As we can see, they have different tactics used, and as awareness of certain scams increases, they may develop new methods or variations to always have a victim.

That's the reason why if I have an email account that has been compromised I quickly change any of my accounts associated with it for security reasons.  This means that your email account has been compromised by scammers.

I tend to agree and that's indeed right, especially a message that comes from your spam box.
I usually ignored that message sent to my mailbox and avoided clicking it, it's an old trick by scammers that until now still people get fooled.

By the way thanks for this warning.
I think IMO you need to double-secure your email account now or change any important accounts associated with that email account.
It's likely a compromised account for me when we received a suspicious message.

That's indeed what I meant.
The shifts in demand influenced the price volatility of Bitcoin and it's true that Bitcoin has demonstrated its value as a versatile asset with use cases ranging from a digital currency to an investment vehicle, and it continues to gain adoption which I believe IMO will continue gaining adoption that result of continue hiking the price.

The sad thing is our interpretation of Bitcoin adoption is to make a profit which is not the creator's purpose of creating Bitcoin.
It's a tool to alternate cash and the purpose of no one controls it even the government, but here we are holding it for storing value.

Great, you've shown interest in how Bitcoin works and how to invest in Bitcoin.
There are too many crucial things that would happen upon purchasing Bitcoin so I highly advise you to have the knowledge of it first before putting your money as an investment, read those pinned posts in this section and you'll find out many answers to your questions.

I think you need to understand how Bitcoin works from basic information in reading the Whitepaper.

It's a well-said in the Whitepaper if you've read it already, the purpose of why Bitcoin was created.
One thing that surely I've known, it's a purely decentralized currency.

Nowadays, it's a part of legitimacy to undergo the KYC if your concern is to avoid fraud.
Because a reputable centralized exchange serves as a middleman of the transaction no one can commit fraud, that's how you can weigh the privacy vs. the security.

But beware of the instant exchange or a platform that uses another third-party exchange, they usually have higher fees than a normal exchange. 
Fraud is everywhere if you've got an outside transaction, choose a legitimate exchange that you can find here in the forum.

You can see more predictions on the Speculation board similar to this.

I tend to agree with this since I'm a crypto enthusiast and everyone here does the same.
But a bull run will usually take effect 6 months or 1 year after the Bitcoin halving happens, do you agree with this?

But my question is, are you ready for the upcoming bull run?  Have you already accumulated a large amount?

10 years?  That's impossible.
Try to look at the market history, there is usually a bull run right after Bitcoin halving, it could be in the next year when halving occurs.
It's proven by the market history and I believe that the price of Bitcoin will repeat itself.

However, IMO having a broader perspective and a long-term horizon can be beneficial and some investors believe in the fundamental value of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which extends beyond short-term market fluctuations.

We shouldn't stay at our personal comfort level with security practices playing a role in finding the right balance.
People will choose centralized exchange over having a hardware wallet to store and protect their coins.  Because for them it's easy to access while using these centralized platforms.

Being paranoid about your funds can also lead to losing them, adding excessive layers of encryption without a clear purpose can indeed increase the risk of losing access to your funds.  Each layer introduces a potential point of failure or a hurdle to accessing your funds.
Therefore, it's important to keep your security measures streamlined and well thought out.

Ain't good at trading and I didn't try this strategy you've said, so my advice is don't forget to include in your plan the stop-loss which is very helpful when you experience a massive loss.  You should have this good technical analysis based on your stop-loss levels on key support or resistance levels, trend lines, or other technical indicators that are relevant to your trading strategy.

IMO, it's important to prioritize your financial well-being over trading, especially if you're facing financial problems and don't have enough funds.
My advice is to put an amount that you can afford to lose.

That's indeed right and I tend to agree that you'd become knowledgeable and full of awareness while you are here in the forum.
This community is good for learning about crypto.

Stablecoins are not designed for long-term growth in the same way that many other cryptocurrencies aim to appreciate in value over time. However, this stability can also be a valuable feature for investors looking to preserve their wealth without being exposed to the extreme price fluctuations associated with more volatile cryptocurrencies.  So, isn't a pretty good idea to hold a stable coin but yes, it's useful in trading activities.  It's frequently used for trading purposes and traders can swiftly move in and out of positions by converting their holdings into stablecoins during times of uncertainty or market fluctuations.  So basically, stablecoins are commonly used to provide liquidity in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and platforms, allowing users to earn returns on their holdings, not intended to hold them for a long term.
