First of all, good luck to you. I admire those working students like you who are putting in all their hard work and effort into their future.
Keep it up.

I have been in this situation before but minus the internship.
Working 8 hours and sometimes it goes further, for a company and going home exhausted.
Opened my eyes to the possibilities of online jobs and here I am working as a freelancer for different companies and trading when I have some time to spare.
No doubt you will find one as long as you won't stop looking.  Wink
Thank you for your kind words! The work I'm doing isn't something fancy at all, gas station attendant, however, it's only for the time being. I've managed to set aside some money from there and on top of that, I'm trying to earn some pocket money I could use in the future for either investing or buying something of worth. I'm expected to finish with my internship by August and hopefully, I'll graduate by October/November.

P.S I'm taking your comment about the signature campaign as a compliment (Thank you!) but there aren't any other open signature campaigns that have much difference in terms of payment, maybe I could find one that would require fewer posts for the same payment. Chip Mixer would be great, but it's way out of my league.

You're welcome Wink

I didn't check which Tier you are in your current campaign, but at first glance it seemed to me that pay rates are quite low - but maybe I'm wrong, because as far as I can see most other campaigns have a max payout for Legendary member around $50 or $60 per week, means that for your rank it may not be likely to collect more than maybe $100 per month.

As for CM, if you make a little effort maybe you can find your place in that campaign in the future Wink
I recently ranked up to tier C, it's 2000 Satoshi per post (or 2200 per post in the gambling section), the minimum requirement is 15 posts/week while the maximum is 60. With the current price of BTC, it's approximately $45 (0.0012 BTC, provided I've conducted at least 60 posts).

No evidence on how payments are going to be processed, a sketchy newbie account, with negative reputation. On top of that, there is no escrow provided, no proof of fund possession, while offering quite decent rates to lure participants. I'd advise any potential participants to think twice before entering and make sure to report back the outcome after a week or two.

Here you have confirmation from 1xbit team that this campaign is official:

We believe that current accusations don't represent our site and made in order to refund lost bets.  
Also, we receive messages from people who don't have issues playing with us.
Thus, we want to let people grounds to try themselves and speak freely about 1xBit.

Sincerely,
1xBit team

But it looks like you don't know what is 1xbit project, so before write bullsh1ts here you should at least google it..
Not really a confirmation of owning the funds whatsoever, nor of what I actually posted about. I hope they end up paying you and don't bail out after a few weeks.

I wouldn't cooperate with someone who has negative for scam accusations, but so do you, whatever floats your boat. Not going to bother. I'm not bashing at this project, I'm simply commenting that its users are cautious.

My last source of online income is signature campaigns, I've been in one for quite a while and I wish I had more time to post more, but I do not, I'll prefer to not post crap all around the forum just to get my post count up.

As for the revenue from the signature campaign, I can say that I am happy to participate in the best campaign not only in terms of how much it pays, but also in terms of conditions that are more than fair to the participants. Fortunately, these are not the funds I need for everyday life, I look at it as a kind of personal pension fund that I hope will one day come in handy.

My advice is to try to find a campaign that would appreciate more your posts (in terms of pay rates), because your posts quality certainly does not prevent you from doing that.



If I'm not mistaken, Chipmixer is paying $6 per post, while having no minimum requirement for each week, right? Probably one of the highest paying campaign, you can easily receive an average of $200 per week. I also have set aside the campaign earnings to a separate, offline wallet. Not sure what to do with that money, but I'm saving for either investing or buying something of worth in the future.

P.S I'm taking your comment about the signature campaign as a compliment (Thank you!) but there aren't any other open signature campaigns that have much difference in terms of payment, maybe I could find one that would require fewer posts for the same payment. Chip Mixer would be great, but it's way out of my league.

Despite, I'm pretty satisfied where I am right now, I'm not quite sure switching campaigns would make much difference in terms of pay, unless it's ChipMixer!

Once again, thank you!

he does not completely control the market with his money, but he also controls the market by manipulating the minds of his followers. this person has nearly 60 million followers on twitter, certainly not a difficult thing for him to do that.
You could say he really can control everything and indeed it's not something that is impossible for Elon Musk,
because indeed Elon Musk is one of the richest people in the world,
with what he did there seemed to be a lot of people who hated him


His followers are the one who moved the market, Musk sparks it up then his readers are the one who really responsible.

If those people behind him are just thinking and not doing things blindly, even he's one of the riches person in the world,
he can't do nothing.

Any action that investors and traders are doing is there responsibilities and not by anyone,
Always do your DYOR it will save you a lot from people like Elon Musk.


Musk was the spark of the hype, but let's get real here. A lot of people profited from this hype, especially Dogecoin's, it skyrocketed and possibly made people millionaires within a few days. Musk of course, is a market a manipulator, I do not disagree on that, but what he did wasn't solely negative nor a direct product of his own actions, he's not evil by any means.

After posting about Doge, people rushed to buy, driving the price to unbelievable levels, some might have lost money during that time, but I guarantee you that many have made quite a few grand.

he does not completely control the market with his money
Who said Elon Musk totally controls the crypto market? Till today, I never saw any member stated it. It is only on your preception, no one agrees that Elon has the ability to control the crypto market fully.

he also controls the market by manipulating the minds of his followers. this person has nearly 60 million followers on twitter
He can influence others because he is one of the popular people in the world. Moreover, he has millions of followers on his social media, especially on tweeter. But it seems not to happen a long time, bro. Right now, most people already realize if he has the intention to manipulate the crypto market with his tweets. In the future, what he tweets, people probably don't care about it.


I don't think anyone mentioned that he is controlling the market, that's the wrong word to use. Manipulating is the correct one. He's got millions of followers on Facebook and Twitter, who are closely monitoring what his next announcement will be, and then proceed to do what he says.

Supposing that he sends a tweet, as we speak, and announces that Tesla will now accept Dogecoin payments, then a large portion of his followers will blindly purchase Doge, just because Musk announced something positive about it. Does that remind you of something? Yup, exactly how Doge was pumped, Musk sent out a single tweet and BOOM! Dogecoin to the moon.

Manipulating = controlling so we can also call that since the purpose on what he do is to control the market by making his follower follow what he likes for the day and he's successfully doing a great job on this so expect more shit comes to him in future since he already see the potential to earn millions of dollars for just a single tweet made by him.
I'd say that manipulating is an indirect way of controlling the market then, I mean by definition it's something different, but I get what you're saying. Of course and he is doing everything on purpose, he is both trolling and making money at the same time, on top of that, he might be laughing his a$$ off with the current situation.

I don't think crypto is done for Musk either, he'll return soon enough, in an effort to manipulate the market once again.

2848  Economy / Economics / Are you making money online? on: May 30, 2021, 09:13:47 PM
I'm currently working at a normal 8-hour shift job, 6 times per day in order to make a living, but I was always seeking some extra income that could be earned at home. Moreover, I'm doing my internship now, in order to graduate, in which I'm working from home, online. However, I do not actually count that as an online income, due to its nature.

I'm interested to see how other members of this community earn money online, either if it's a full income, or some extra pocket money. I used to trade a few months ago, when I was out of work due to Covid-19 restrictions. Likewise, I've stopped now because it was causing me anxiety, while at the same time having limited time due to being occupied with work.

Although I've stopped trading, I invested my money into DeFi projects, the first vault I joined as a liquidity provider, was an algorithmic stablecoin (Bolt Dollar), which resulted in approximately $1.000 in gross profit, before sinking into the abyss. I've now resigned from risky vaults and invested into Stable LPs (Currently in Iron - BUSD). It's a small reward but involves minimal risk and action.

My last source of online income is signature campaigns, I've been in one for quite a while and I wish I had more time to post more, but I do not, I'll prefer to not post crap all around the forum just to get my post count up.

I might not make much, provided I had more free time than I would definitely earn more, but I'm satisfied that I have another method of earning some kind of income. How are you making money? Are you a full-time trader, a DeFi investor? Let us know!
2849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you limit your gambling time? on: May 30, 2021, 08:06:38 AM
When someone consider that they need to schedule their time for gambling as well then they are some kind of addiction to it, no one should ever make it as daily habit
Did you read Roidz's comment above? I suspect you just reply without reading.  Roll Eyes
He said that he only gambles on holiday. It means he doesn't gamble every day. So, you cannot judge what he did as a daily habit.
Do you still assume it is an addict?  Roll Eyes

Make a schedule for your gambling isn't a kind of addiction. Instead, it is the way to avoid addiction. You should know what is the difference between addiction and discipline. Once you become an addict, you will play at any time, without limitation.

I will say it's also an addiction when someone thinks that it is must-add gambling as well into their schedule, probably the earliest stage if you ask me. gambling with time limitation is a kind of discipline where there is no disagreement but my argument is when someone considers that gambling is also a must thing in there to do list for the holidays or any day then it should be avoided though.
It's becoming an addiction when you add it on your daily schedule, if you're craving to gamble daily and can't do without skipping a day, you are pretty much addicted. I agree on the time limitation but I would also add a budget/money limitation. You can easily lose a few hundred bucks within minutes, a budget allocation sounds more appropriate to me.
2850  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin As a Payment Method Against Other Payment Network on: May 30, 2021, 06:15:14 AM
The news is old but it reflects the fact that Bitcoin is already a means of payment in many countries, it is not as popular as other payment methods like Paypal, Visa...
The first person used Bitcoin to pay for his Pizza. This is the world's first Bitcoin acceptance case. So far many businesses accept Bitcoin payments around the world without our knowledge. It's been quiet, most recently Metromile (an American car insurance company for miles) has accepted insurance policies in Bitcoin.


https://www.forbes.com/advisor/car-insurance/metromile-bitcoin-payments/
Still, Bitcoin payments are not that efficient in terms of fees (due to higher prices) on top of that, confirmation might take a while. However, I've only stumbled upon a single shop, a bicycle online store, which accepted BTC a few years ago. I'm not sure how renowned it is in the rest of the world thought.
2851  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Covid-19 Vaccinated people will die in 2 years on: May 30, 2021, 02:31:35 AM
I will prefer a quick one word answer, should we get vaccinated or not ?

Yes.

Please don't believe unsubstantiated and misleading conspiracist nonsense. Instead, look at the data and form your own conclusions. There is a wealth of information on Covid out there, from numerous independent sources around the world: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus

If someone genuinely believes that vaccinated people will die within two years, then they don't understand how vaccines work. A basic grasp of science is important; it helps people to form logical, evidence-based conclusions.
Also yes from me too.
If it wasn't from vaccines, the average life expectancy would be 40 years old. Vaccination has eradicated many infectious diseases, such as polio, measles or smallpox. It's our only way out of this pandemic and there are actual examples that the Covid-19 vaccines are working properly. A quick look at UK's or Israel's cases and deaths, which have dropped dramatically, from Worldometers won't disappoint you.

LOL, I thought I was missing something here, but nope, guess I didn't.

I'm not in the least bit surprised that they sold Bitcoin, I strongly believe that they sold even more than a mere 10%, before announcing that Tesla will no longer accept BTC as a payment method.
Probably, but who knows with Elon Musk.  He doesn't seem to be thinking things through as far as crypto is concerned and also seems to be acting irrationally.  I'm still wondering how many cars Tesla actually sold for bitcoin when they were accepting it as a payment method.
I actually searched that and couldn't find much information regarding any Tesla car purchases with Bitcoin. I believe that there would be a hype if a large amount of cars were sold using Bitcoin as a mean of payment. The best scenario would be a few cars sold, and the worst one, no cars sold at all.

I wouldn't ask for money either, you do not donate in order to ask for something in return. Even if Lightlord, decides to return that donation (which I highly doubt it), it's something I wouldn't do either if I were in his shoes. A donation is final, and it happened quite a few years ago, and you are asking for a portion of that money, now that the price has skyrocketed. Let's just say that it is not going to happen.
That is the thing about these type of situations, we end up saying that it shouldn't happen but at the end of the day the question lays on lightlord and he has to decide what to do. We say that he shouldn't do it, and we all agree that a donation is a donation and there is no coming back from donation that is for sure, but at the end of the day when there is a human factor involved and if he ends up giving some of it back then there is nothing to be done at all.

I hope that he doesn't because that would make all the donations into using them as a wallet, just give them money and when you need it back ask for it back, because if it happens here then what stops others to do the same as well? Others could very well do it and then expect it the same way as well if this guy gets it. Yet like I said at the end of the day it is lightlord that will decide on this.
I don't think that Lightlord, or anyone else in his position, would or should return money that has been donated under any circumstances. The reason behind my opinion is pretty simple. Because anyone who might have donated the past few years will start asking to return a portion of their donation. Returning a single donation would lead to a cluster of people who are going to try and claim money back.

Tesla announced Monday

This is a 3 months old news you posted. Things have changed since  Cheesy
You just woke up after a 3 month night?
As far as I know, Tesla doesn't want to accept Bitcoin for a Tesla anymore. And the company is already thinking to sell some of its BTC.

This is correct, Tesla already sold 10% of its bitcoin holdings and announced they would not be accepting bitcoin as a payment method.

Also, Bitcoin will never scale in its current iteration to compete with centralized exchanges. It doesn't have the capacity to compete in transactions with any of the centralized payment systems listed in the OP graph.
I'm not in the least bit surprised that they sold Bitcoin, I strongly believe that they sold even more than a mere 10%, before announcing that Tesla will no longer accept BTC as a payment method. I also expect that they are currently buying Bitcoin to take advantage of the lower prices. Soon enough, they'll start promoting crypto again.
2855  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin As a Payment Method Against Other Payment Network on: May 28, 2021, 09:23:54 PM
It's surprising to see that Bitcoin is standing over Western Union, which is solely a payment processor or a mean to send money abroad, unsure of how accurate this data is though. On the other hand, I can't see Bitcoin being used as a mean of paying for goods and services, at least for myself. It would feel like I'm using golden nuggets to pay.

I've never stumbled upon a business here that accepts Bitcoin though.
2856  Economy / Economics / Re: Debate: Please explain to me why... on: May 28, 2021, 08:09:37 PM
I've also wondered about that, my best guess would be because Altcoins are being traded as a pair with BTC (LTC/BTC, ETH/BTC for instance). On top of that, Bitcoin is the flagship of cryptocurrency, thus it's considered a sign of well-being for the market. Moreover, all of them are closely related due to their nature, sharing major characteristics with each other.

On the other hand, there are a few instances in which these rules didn't apply 100%. It doesn't necessarily mean that if Bitcoin goes down, Altcoins crash too, or the opposite, but that's what happens usually.
2857  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk really has the ability to manipulate the bitcoin market on: May 28, 2021, 06:18:26 PM
He is clearly a manipulator or facilitates other manipulators to act. Before he posted his first tweet about accepting Bitcoin as payment of TESLA value per Bitcoin over $60k. After the Bitcoin price drop happened, Elon Musk took steps to appease and the Bitcoin price surged again. I have saved some links of tweets in the links below, please follow along.

Talking about stopping accepting Bitcoin to pay for Tesla's electric cars
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1392602041025843203

"The true battle is between fiat & crypto. On balance, I support the latter"
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1396049547680391168

"Spoke with North American Bitcoin miners. They committed to publish current & planned renewable usage & to ask miners WW to do so. Potentially promising."
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1396914548167233537
I just saw the third tweet, chances are, that he'll claim that Bitcoin miners are turning green, using renewable energy resources and Bitcoin is now environmentally friendly! On top of that, he'll soon return BTC as a form of payment for Tesla cars, not that anyone is going to use it, but it's going to be those important influential news that affect the market creating a huge hype. Yup, we've seen it in the past, and we're definitely seeing it again.

I agree guys, a donation is a donation and if you really want to "donate" to anyone then you can't do anything that would be really beneficial to the people in need, go donate to charities and help the poor people or old people or childs etc etc there is a charity for basically every single thing in the world.

This is why I think it is immoral to ask the money back, why would you end up giving a donation and then asking it back, even maybe asking it to be forwarded to some charity of their choosing that would make sense, still they wouldn't be forced to do it, they can buy a car with that if they want to, they can make a huge vegas trip they want to but at the end of the day they wouldn't be forced to do anything, not just this but basically no other thing neither, it's theirs and they can do whatever they want. I understand there is an upset by the person who donated, but it's fine.

Even if Lightlord, decides to return that donation (which I highly doubt it), it's something I wouldn't do either if I were in his shoes.

Many people are smart now, they're not affected to Elon Musk tweet or announcement, although he has influence to other investor but for some reason people now learned, how crypto world work, not only one person like Elon musk but with the help of other investor and other company who invest in crypto.

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Funniest thing I heard all day,  Thank you.  Smiley
People will also come to the point of being tired from the nonsense tweets from Elon and this is starting to happen right now. At first, we may get compliment for Elon but when crypto gets worsen because of him, people are now starting to unfollow him. The day will really come wherein he will lost his power and all his tweets will have no impact on crypto anymore.

Elon has all the similarities with Mcafee who tried manipulating the market but in the long run, they got failed. Crypto has its decentralized nature so no party is responsible to control it not even the government.
He holds a strong name and reputation, he may not have a direct effect on the market, but he's a successful businessman and influencer. People will still follow him because he created market hypes that people profited from, see Dogecoin for instance. Some people became millionaires just because he made a single tweet about it. Just a single tweet can persuade people into acquiring BTC, thinking that another hype will be created, in order to sell later on.

I signed up to binance without a referral code, now I learned that had I use the code I would have gotten 20% discount in commissions, can I open a second account with same docs, or can I delete the account, which is funded already, put my funds on crypto or something, and then reopen a binance account with the referral code, would that work to get the 20% discount in commissions ?
As others have already mentioned, your referral provider can choose whether to provide you with a discount on commission or not. It varies from 0% to 20%. I wouldn't bother too much though, Binance has already pretty low fees, compared with other exchanges. Unless you're dealing with a lot of money daily, I'd advise you to leave it be.

I once used the 10/10 ratio for a friend, if you're dealing with a couple of hundred euros, the referral link won't save you much.
