Just keep in your mind, if you wait for other's success and after that, you jump in then most probably you will regret it eventually. When El Salvador's success Bitcoin would be at more high. Although you can always buy a Bitcoin unit, but you would have to spend more than now. It's the only possible scenario. We don't know any real situation that will happen in the future. But I just want to say, we shouldn't wait for other's success and loss the opportunity to grave the chances.

Investors will increase day by day, it's a logical expectation. Otherwise, Bitcoin would be stuck between a price range. We have been seeing price pump dump based on investor's movements. Old investors holding and new investors buying. That's the game of Bitcoin.

It's not a problem to make 10 or 20 posts in a day if the post has been complying with campaign rules and the forum rules. But the problem is if he makes zero value post. It doesn't help the forum anyway and I don't think any manager should count these kinds of zero value posts which have been made only to fill the weekly quota. But usually, if a user makes too many posts in a day then it's hard to main quality of the post. Notifying the manager would kickoff from the getting stake.

@lightlord was last active today at 12:36:04 AM. But it's quite surprising he still does not respond here even I remind him about this allegation. It's a matter of concern, either @lightlord is too much busy with other works, or ignoring. But still, I believe he isn't ignoring. Most probably he stuck with something.

@OP, did you get any solution? or @lightlord contact you personally? If so please update it here or let us know the current situation.

@CryptopreneurBrainboss, have you got any response from @lightlord? Since you are the campaign manager they should respond to you at least. Let us know what is going on.

It's call near-miss, now you know what you were going to lose. But if you weren't curious about the wallet file, then you can't realize what you lost. However, congrats, and good to know you got it back. You don't need to do anything if you can secure your wallet file and device. But since you are accustomed to deletes files then it's better to buy a hardware wallet like Ledger to store your Bitcoin. So there will not be the fear of file deletion. But then you have to secure your wallet and seed phrase in safe places. Losing the device and seed together will lead to lost everything.

Anyway, you didn't back to Bitcoin. Your luck forced you to back into Bitcoin.

Stay calm man! I know the situation is quite hard to stay calm. But I will say please wait for @lightlord reply. We can't say anything right now. I believe he will not scam for this amount since for a long time they are on the forum and there isn't much noticeable scam accusation against them.

I have sent a PM to @lightlord, so I believe he will come on this thread as soon as possible. And don't be crazy, just wait for some time more for his reply. Let us get some idea of what is going on. If there is a problem then the solution is there as well. So, please stay calm.

@OP, just imagine what will happen when Ratimov notice and read the post? Will not he correct his mistakes either he has plagiarized or not? So it will just be energy loss for all those who will find plagiarism. Still, do you believe he hasn't corrected all?

Nothing will happen like you are expecting. Just contribute to the forum rather than challenge Ratimov.  You already give him correction opportunities by challenging openly through this thread.

Hasn't already broken this so-called Golden cross? I can't see the price zone due to an unclear image, I think the current price is below from given golden cross-zone and continuously dumping. Bitcoin really does not follow any such chart, it's just walking its own way. Because Bitcoin makes the record, doesn't necessary to follow any chart or past trend. Chart, trend everything depends on the investor's movements. I  don't know the exact reason for the current dump, but most probably investors taking a little break. And of course, an uptrend would start any time based on investor's movements.

I have said many times that scammers wouldn't scam you if you don't help them to do so. Unconsciously we are helping scammers, sometimes consciously as well by taking chance. Since we are related to crypto-currency so definitely somehow greedy offers will pop up the front of us. It would happen through social media like Telegram or Twitter or others sources as well. If we respond to them then we might fall into a scam. Even scammers would hack your wallet or device as well. So the first requirement is to avoid scams that don't help scammers by responding to their greedy offers. So you can save your valuable assets.

As others suggest, it would be best if you can use BTCPAYSERVER as a payment getaway since there are many facilities. It's secure and altcoin supported as well. If you aren't much experienced to develop it then might hire someone else. Or you might use some other third-party gateway which isn't preferable.

Here is a list on the forum where you can compare a few payment gateways and choose the right one for your site. So please look on the list-Bitcoin Payment Processors.

Seems OP is a fan of Google. As @o_e_l_e_o said Google should meet all the criteria to receive and recover your fund back.

First of all, I will not encourage you to create a paper wallet and store your fund there. I don't have enough faith in it, don't ask me why because I don't know. I am using hardware wallet and open-source noncustodial wallet Electrum, so I have faith in these two.

The second thing I still failed to discover is why should I use Gmail store Bitcoin to use in the future by schedule mail. Why we can't buy a hardware wallet or use an open-source noncustodial wallet to store Bitcoin and use it future? Who is forcing you to sell it if you don't want to do so?

The advice wasn't soo good. For myself, I will not do it ever.

Yea, seems this user's status changed to Archived (autoban). The account hasn't been nuked, if nuked then any post shouldn't appear in his post history. However, it's good at least he has been punished for spreading the suspicious link. Not sure either it happens due to my report, but the report has marked good on the same day (9/10/2021). And he got what he deserved. I don't think even he could get back his account even appeal it.

Most probably where you have been trying to verify KYC they are using an automated KYC verification process. As a result, it has been rejecting immediately if not complying with the bot. So read carefully the terms of verification how they want. It's true using low-quality software or programs to verify KYC would get reject multiple times. But it should works if attempt multiple times as well. I will say read it carefully how they actually want all the documents and try to submit accordingly. If the platform is trustworthy then should works.

Supported the flag. I believe no true cloud mining on the web. These all are just scam mining. If anyone is interested in mining then should buy a device and hardware to start mining. Investing in cloud mining to buy the so-called hash rate is just a waste of money. Cloud mining another simple name is a scam. Good thing OP noticed that scammers advertising it on the forum. Since the flag has been created and is active now, newbies shouldn't fall into that.

First of all please try to use the forum search button when you are going to make a common question. Most probably hundreds of times have been discussed about this matter. However, almost all answers will be similar here. Just keep in mind, centralized and decentralized systems are conflicting with each other always. Those governments like to ban Bitcoin means they are strongly want to control their economy. If they legalize Bitcoin then it's quite impossible to control by governments. That's the reason, but the government simply will not admit that, they will make thousands of excuses to ban Bitcoin.

Tell me who wants to lose anything in the world? Everyone always likes just gain and gain. No one is ready to accept the losses. But unfortunately, we are losing and someone is making money. It's happening always in cryptocurrency and that's how trading and investment works. You are an investor doesn't mean you always will be the gainer. Who knows if start a bear market after you invest. So we don't know even there is a right time or when is the right time. What I follow for me, the only right time is selling your assets when you have profit. But it's not out of risk, after selling the price would bump higher and it has been happening always with me. That's why I said we don't have the real right time. Take the profit whatever you can. If you sell a part of your holding, you will regret it in case of the dump. So we are unable to come out from this puzzle.

I am not sure if the post is the incorrect section or should move into Off-Topic.

However, for me, a kind of fear was on my mind always before vaccinations when I went outside for needs. Once got both doses of vaccine then the fear of effect in COVID-19 has been reducing. So it's a good thing if the government mandates vaccinations. But the condition is they have to make sure they can manage vaccines for all the population of the country. If not then it's not useful to give restrictions. It will then just be harassment. I think it's not a problem for developed countries like the USA. But for the poor country still not getting enough vaccines. Even a few developed countries citizens getting booster dose but poor countries citizens haven't got single dose yet.

There is no limit to who can manage a bounty campaign, it depends on the manager and project. The only requirement is you have to be a member of this forum if you are intending to manage a bounty campaign. You have to create your portfolio, doesn't matter you haven't managed any campaign, you can write what you can do for the project. Then either the project authority will contact you or you have to contact projects that you intend to manage. You have to convince the project or company to select you because many others like you will contact the project or company. But don't try to spam via forum PM, otherwise, you might get banned from the forum.

A project would consider your experience, management fees, the total stake for the campaign you suggest for the good result, and so on. That's how you both will agree with the payments. Then the company will give you some conditions that you have to follow, or leave the campaign. Then you have the right to select participants for the campaign based on company requirements of course. Because different companies will give you different conditions, like some companies would require postings on gambling section for signature campaign. So you have to manage a spreadsheet of who is in your campaign and update activities & reports. Finally, distribute the stakes that were promised to participants. The campaign takes or your payments would be held in advance or using escrow, otherwise pay after the campaign. It totally depends on the manager and companies. Hope you got all the points very well.

If newbies only focus on how to get merits then most probably they will regret it. It's true to become an established member of the forum merit is a mandatory part. Because merit determines the quality of your post and describes your contribution to the forum. If a newbie concentrate to learn and contribute to the forum in the right way, then merit will follow him. And suddenly claim as a good contributor and expect merit is unrealistic thought. It will take time to match ourselves with forum culture, especially for newbies. We don't know each other here, so your contribution will introduce you to us. This is my thought for newbies. Because I was a newbie once a time and I know how hard is to earn merit if you aren't a good contributor to the forum.

Those are professional traders who can make a profit either bull or bear run. Just think how the trading volume has been increased during the bull run. Means someone buying and selling as well. Of course, they are pro traders. But since I am not a pro trader, I always try to get the advantage of the dip. Although we don't know about the exact dip, nowadays I determine it when suddenly fall the price too much. You can notice, after every sudden fall, the price will gain for again for some time. So I get this opportunity to make small profits. But not always take the risk, it depends on the overall market situation.

Guys just stay away from these users. It's been noticed this user spreading various scam sites on the forum. Once you visit his profile you might get it. I have reported a few for sharing a suspicious link on the post, not sure if moderators remove them since the scam isn't moderated by the forum. Doesn't matter he post about what, he just trying to spread scamming sites. And we know another name of cloud mining is a scam. So just put in ignore this user.
