Beauty of Bitcoin is that everyone can use it as he pleases, there are no rules or rights/wrongs, even though I do think that all bitcoiners should pay with bitcoin when they can. It doesn't have to be a big amount or even often, but if every now and then you have a chance to pay something directly with bitcoin that costs like $10-$20, why not?

I personally spend crypto on the regular basis, no matter the price and I stopped looking back at how much my bitcoin would worth if I didn't spend. With that being said, I do spend more when bitcoin is worth more (for example I sold some bitcoin when price was $50k+ and fully renovated my apartment) and at the moment I am only spending bitcoin when its convenient and for nothing major like that.

While its definitely good idea to move USDT out of exchange and into your own non-custodial (I hope) wallet, your money is still not completely safe. I don't know if you area ware of the fact that USDT can be frozen by their issuer inside your own wallet and there would be nothing that you could do about it.

Chances of that happening anytime soon are not great, but they exist and as you said in your post that no exchange is too big to fail, the very same goes for stablecoins so I would advise you not to hold them for too long.

I think that you might have misunderstood what OP wrote, or you wrote your comment based on the title which can be misleading. So, situation is quite the opposite and few days ago Elon changed his decision (yet again) and this time he decided to go through with Twitter takeover. If I am you  I wouldn't celebrate just yet as knowing Elon and his tendency to change opinion, there is still chance that this deal doesn't happen.



If he was responsible for dump from 59k to 41k, was he also responsible for pump before that? While he certainly affected BTC price at the beginning of his interaction with Bitcoin, I don't think that he had that much of a power over bitcoin price.

According to bitcointalk practice, its not plagiarism as long as you share the source link, even if you do direct copy/paste without including nothing of your own.

By the way, you are free to report his post as low value if he just copied something without leaving comment of his own. I did that more than once and it was removed in some cases.

Maybe its just me, but tt feels kinda weird to store my crypto backup in bank. With that being said, I do have contingency plan set and people that are very close to me are explained what to do in case something happens to me. I don't have millions (at least not yet  ), but it would be a shame to go to waste.


Huh, definitely a good solution if you are extra paranoid/careful, or if you don't have anyone that you trust enough with something like this. Even though I doubt I'll ever use it (at least not for inheritance but I might for the gift), will check it out. Thnx for sharing.

Ah, I understand now, as the way you put it it looked like you are keeping seed on your mobile phone. Still, I do hope that your mobile wallet is not your main one as those are far from being secure for long term hodl. They are good enough (if you are using open-source non custodial one) for a sort of hot wallet store where you keep crypto for every day use, but if I am you I would consider getting one of the hardware wallets as you can find good ones for less than $100.

There is no way that you can lose your phone? LOL.  Saving seed on your phone is one of the worst places possible to store something as sensitive as seed is. Not only that you can lose the phone, someone can steal it as well, or your phone may suddenly stop working without you being able to switch it on ever again (something like that happened to me despite it being relatively new Samsung flagship model). So no, you are not well prepared at all.

My advice for you is to delete the seed from your phone asap and instead save a copy at your parent's house, or whoever you can trust with something like that.

The thing is, I don't think that an average user actually cares whether some cryptocurrency is centralized or not, so I don't think those such websites will care about implementing differentiation either. And especially if that will mean less traffic from them.


Yep, that's one of the info I would like to see as people are unaware of that, even for some of the most popular cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. More than once I met Ethereum fan not knowing that 70% of its supply has been premined. Then again, even when they found about it they didn't really care about it as long as number goes up.

Let's be honest here: you didn't come to bitcointalk for knowledge but for money. I mean, Newbie account that wrote his first post a couple of days ago already asking how much can he earn from signature campaigns. And to add on that, your very first post on the forum was one one of those "proof of authentication posts" in altcoin bounty section.

I may be wrong in your case (even though I doubt it), but that is not a behavior of a legit newbie account and instead of someone who already has some experience here and probably has a couple of accounts doing in bounty campaigns.

Let me check my crystal ball and I'll get back to you.

Joke aside, no one can know what will happen with Binance till 2025, considering all the regulations, the fact that exchanges don't usually stay at the top for too long and hat no exchange or platform is too big to fall. Even though Binance may looks invincible at the moment (like many in the past)  keep in mind that they have  around for only ~5 years which is not a long time at all, and as we know by know things can go south pretty fast. So no, I wouldn't trust therm with my money (at least not for the longer period of time).

I am using Firefox as well and had no issues whatsoever in the last couple of days (or even weeks for that matter).

Pretty bad scam attempt and definitely not new. Better ones at least pretend that they are from some government agency so people get more intimidated, while these guys didn't even bother to do that. Another "interesting" thing is that they ask for 1.8 BTC, and its non negotiable they say, so no wonder that so far they didn't receive anything on that bitcoin address that they shared. If they only went for some smaller amount, maybe someone would actually send some money.

All in all, an amateur hour.

Is that friend maybe "female" and did that "friend" contact you through one of the social media networks, or even through platforms like Tinder? I am asking because this is the common M.O of those who use sites like you mentioned. Some of them are very patient and play long game, pretending that they are interested in you, and after some time they switch conversation to "excellent investment opportunity".


Rule of thumb: anyone contacting you offering great profit= scam. Trust no one.

He failed to mention it in this topic (he did mention it in another one), but he has some coins stuck there and now can't access it.


Problem is that ban happened more than a year ago and OP just realized it now so I am not so sure that procedure is so easy. And yeah, he should definitely try accessing it using VPN, but not with US server of course.

No surprise that ExpressVPN IP has been flagged by that gambling site since its a very popular VPN, used by many people. Iirc (haven't used ExpressVPN for some time) they don't even have a large amount of Polish servers so that's another reason why its so easy to for a gambling site to track those.


The biggest obstacle for that to happen is your trust score and reputation (or lack of) so I am not too optimistic about that.

U svezi glede NEXOa, bas mi jutros jedan frend sherao ovaj tweet nakon kojeg je on povukao sve sto ima od tamo. Kad se sjetim kako su htjeli iskoristiti ona sranja sa Celsiusom pa su ko fol nudili da  da ih otkupe, a u biti je to bila jeftina reklama, tj pokusaj iste. Uglavnom, svatko tko drzi ikakvu lovu na nekoj od tih lending platformi nakon svega sto se dogodilo sa Celsiusom jednostavno je teski kockar.

You don't have to, but your request would look less suspicious if you are more transparent about what you actually need, especially considering your trust feedback. At the moment it simply looks dodgy to me, and judging by other comments I am not the only one who has that opinion.

Btw, you might have more luck asking in Polish local board.

And thanks to the merit system he probably won't move far from a newbie rank.


Buddy, stop sucking up others as that kind of behavior won't bring you any merit and you might even end up on ignore list if you continue. Just stop thinking about ranks & merit, focus on learning and communicate with others in a normal fashion.

Merit source application requirement is not to find 10 quality thread, but to find 10 posts that according to applicant didn't receive enough merit, and there is a big difference between post and a thread. If you actually meant post, and if no one on your board can't find 10 undermerited posts in the last few months, then I guess that you don't really need more merit.

Since when moving to other country means that you no longer have the right to run a project/company? AFAIK, Do Kwon hasn't resigned yet (unlike Mashinsky who resigned a few days ago) and is still CEO of Terraform Labs, meaning he is still running Terra. Since an average crypto investor has memory of a gold fish, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't reemerges with something new in the future.


I didn't hear about that rumor, but of course people at the top knew what is eventually going to happen and that they are not able to "repeg" their failed stablecoin once shit hit the fan.
