I really don't think CZ sounds like "Hold your coins in Binance"! Not even a bit! It sounds more like an alarm to the Nigerian traders on what they should do next! I think we are being ultra-sensitive here! Crypto exchanges are super prone to hacking and we all have experienced such incidents. So anyone knows about cryptocurrency, would not keep their cryptos in any exchange if they just want to HODL it.

But CZ, rightly said - the p2p trading will flourish as the financial institutions will not allow crypto related activities and possibly freeze many accounts post the exit timeline if they see any crypto related transactions. So the cash transactions will increase. I really want to condemn Nigerian government as it shows their regressive mentality. I believe same is going to happen in India as well! 

The article starts with this statement and I wonder when did Visa spoke against bitcoin in any of their public statements! I don't think so! However, they are a business organization and cryptocurrency has opened up a new business horizon in front of them. So they are just jumping in to get the benefit and expand their horizon. No doubt they have taken a wise decision in the ever-changing business landscape.

Visa has a bigger plan. Last year they have filed a patent in US for a private blockchain system.

They are planning to become a cash free company in near future!

I have just learnt about a new coin called BUFF from an online article.

What I understand is that, the developers are trying to build an ecosystem where any players will be rewarded for their time they spend on gaming. Do you think such kind of coins will be able to become successful?

But the police can ensure that the funds locked within the wallet stays where it is and nobody can get access to it! That's confiscation as well! Yes, government wouldn't be able use that fund! So the goal is anyways reached!


You are right in your comment! We have seen many cases of frauds where bitcoin was involved! And unless and until the key criminal is arrested, it may be very difficult for them to serve justice and restore the ownership of the lost/stolen property! But the case you have sighted is somewhat unrelated because no restoration of ownership is needed as the hacker didn't steal anything but the computing power!

There may be many factors they have undertaken to reach to this figure of 14 million but it's impossible to get to the correct number. Probably they have decided a timeframe and calculated how many bitcoins have not been moved beyond their chosen timeframe. That's one of the efficient ways to estimate the lost bitcoin but again it is impossible to reach to a correct number.

However, the reduced number of freefloat supply definitely means, bitcoin can be more valuable based on current demand. While these kinds of chart or information doesn't usually have much impact on the market but yes, a good thing to know!

Lol! You understand that you are doing something unethically and you still keep on doing it and getting worried about legal consequences? The legal consequences would convict you as a cheater and a thief, but only if they can catch you!

I am sure the owner of the mixer will eventually fix the loophole once he notices his financial loss! So whatever you guys are doing, are short lived!

I think, you must have received few PMs already asking about the address of the mixer!

Can someone answer the below questions??

1. Are we allowed to withdraw the cryptocurrency to our own wallet after purchasing it from Paypal?
2. Can we deposit cryptocurrency to Paypal which was not purchased from them and sell them to Paypal?

As far as I know, we are not allowed to do such operations but if things have changed, can anyone let us know?

Bitcasino has a representative in this forum so send a PM to that representative. Profile like is given below,

If nothing happens, open a thread in scam acquisition section,

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

I don't think bitcasino would do any scam business for 1.6 btc even though it is a big amount of money! But I would suggest you to try these route! Let us know about the outcome!

The categorization looks surprisingly wired! How come Shrimps are so less in percentage? I believe they should have the most number of people! Same goes with Crabs as well, they should stand in the 2nd position. Also humpbacks and whales should have been the least populated category.

I really doubt the correctness of this data! Looks kind of funny!

I think he is probably joking when I read Elon's tweet that says - "Dogecoin is the people's crypto" and his second tweet confirms my assumption that says - "No highs, no lows, only Doge"! These are fun tweets without any serious thoughts behind them!

But look, even if this is fun, Doge is up by 50% today! So traders might have made some handsome returns just from Elon's tweet! I had few thousands of Doge few years back and now I forgot where are those!

Good insight! However, I am little surprised to see that Pi network is so popular in Turkey and Romania. It is just like any other shitcoin that can be mined from mobile and also it is not truly decentralized. Also to use Pi token, you need to be fully KYC compliant. I am not sure how it has reached to such a high position in these two countries.

For India, Coinswitch is really doing well. One of my friends wanted to experience and invest in crypto so I helped him opening an account with Coinswitch. They are a government registered entity and has a very simple and smooth KYC process. Their list of coins are also extensive and the user interface is really easy to understand for a nube. They are really doing well in India and recently they have raised $15 million in their first round of funding.

It's indeed a great sight to see that crypto related apps are gaining popularity worldwide. The market is at a very nascent stage now and we are seeing great results. Hope this trend would continue!

I truly support this statement and I am one live example! When bitcoin was introduced back in 2009, then I was very active into online money making world and I indeed came across bitcoin. I used to have a powerful laptop of that time where I could have easily mined a great quantity of bitcoin. Just out of laziness and less curiosity, I didn't enter that market and carried on with the freelancing work. I know I could have become a millionaire by now but I can only look back at my mistakes!

So yes, people who are willing to take risk and willing to adopt the unknown, have better financial future!

Possibly true for the time being! However, in the long run the matter of crypto regulation will become black and white in majority of the countries. There will be few countries, where crypto will become banned and majority of other countries will introduce some kind of regulatory framework around crypto usage. I am sure IGT is thinking for long term most certainly and once the regulations are in place there will be no going back for IGT! But it will probably offer better user experience to the players!

I wonder why not all leaders are like him!! Miami is lucky enough to have a mayor like Francis who seriously wants to welcome bitcoin like any other currency of the world. Only such leaders can bring positive changes among their citizens and can take steps towards achieving financial freedom!

Unfortunately, I live in a country where the leader is planning to impose a blanket ban on bitcoin citing the risk it bestows. We really need more people like Francis around the world for a better functioning society!

Just trying my luck even after being fully aware that the pay-per-post amount has been reduced.

Possibly another boost to the crypto market. The largest manufacturer of slot machines International Game Technology, or IGT, received a patent on 5 Jan, 2021 for a system that would enable gamblers to transfer crypto from their accounts into a “gaming establishment account". So once this system is implemented, the physical casino players wouldn't have to use bitcoin ATM to play slot games!

Physical casino gambling market is a few billion dollars industry! Another step towards adoption, I believe! 

On papers! Yes, bubbles like this add value to the market but on papers! Some lucky people make some good amount of money out of such bubbles as well! However, if you talk about adding real value to the market, then it's a big no no!

People who are really active in the market, they always look for such news based opportunities, just like the real world stock market! These bubbles burst quite often which creates more opportunities!

My best bet for 2021 is UNISWAP and Monero! The reasons are simple. UNISWAP is just few months old and it has reached 13th position within a very short time. Their swap interface is super easy for even newbies to use and hence they are gaining more prominence. I had actually mined few coins through liquidity mining when it was open and bought some at 4 USD! Look at the price now!

Secondly, I see XRP as a very useful coin because of its privacy features. With the upcoming crypto ban in my country, many will be forced to adopt XRP to hide the trail of their crypto assets! I am also glad that I can mine it using my Ryzen 9 CPU!

I am not sure what is the meaning of your thread and what exactly you are trying to establish. I tried to do a little google search but couldn't find anything on this! At least share some reference so that people can understand and decipher the meaning!

What's next?

The ball is in Mayweather's court and I don't think he has a reason to say no! Especially when big money will be added to his bank account regardless of the result of the fight! However, the fight that happened few years back in Las Vegas, was a letdown to the boxing fans!

Also both "Money" and "pac-man" have passed the usual age of retirement. So such kind of "exhibition" fights will be a good chance for making some quick money for both of them!
