I am preparing for that future. I am not going to be caught with a significant part of my net worth in undeclared Bitcoin, having gone through mixers, etc., which could be blacklisted or whatever.

Here we are talking about mixers, but there is another area where there is a certain freedom, namely casinos, which will not last long in the current situation.

Crypto casinos were very important in the history of Bitcoin from the beginning, but over the years they have been imposing more and more KYC requirements, and this is only going to get worse.

It's not going to be tomorrow, but I think in a couple of years or three at most we're going to see major changes in this regard.

I don't think that has been the case here.

What I see is that that list includes people who have asked theymos to be excluded from DT1. If I remember correctly, and my memory may be deceiving me, I think suchmoon asked to be excluded, and I also see tranthidung on the list, who asked recently as well.

I don't know where you've heard that, but I've never heard those myths before. Whoever believes those things, like Gambling Is a Way to Make Money, is very foolish. Gambling can give you extra money at a given moment but you have to be aware that you are going to be a loser in the long run.

There is only one point where I see some truth. For example, in myth 6: Knowing a Game Well Increases Your Odds of Winning, it would be true if we count Poker within gambling. And in the case of casino games, it helps you lose less in the long run.

I like the speculation section, among other things because we try to guess the unguessable, and because from time to time we have fellow forum members who open threads after an overdose of Doritos:


NO.


While you're at it, could you share the chart so we can see how rational your projections are.

The only thing I agree with you about everything you say is that some people thought when we got to $17k that the price was going to keep going down. It is clear that nobody knew if it could go lower but I and many others said that we were in a clear buy zone, as we still are.

He said goodbye to the forum. His farewell thread is a bit hidden in the Investigations section (I don't really know why it's there instead of the Reputation main one, although I guess it has to do with the controversy he had with OgNasty):

Open message to Matthew and Goodbye

I don't know but I have said it repeatedly. I don't see much of a future in a business model that consists of obfuscating the origin of funds, when in the world the trend is the opposite. Everything is becoming more and more KYC, even people pay for everything with their mobile, deblocking it with the face ID, so that Apple or whatever company it is, apart from many other data, knows the face of that person.


That is clear. What they want is to collect more and more, and since Bitcoin is not controlled by a central bank, they take other measures with that excuse.

If we are talking about a lesser evil we are going to agree on this, but my point is that if you don't have proof you shouldn't write that someone is untrustworthy, a liar and has mental problems. You'd better keep your opinion to yourself and not write it on someone's trust page.

It doesn't.

There is a widespread idea in the forum that neutral color can be used for anything. And I don't agree.

If I write a neutral color feedback saying: "Scammer. Don't trust him even for $10 transactions."

That should be written in red. If I don't write it in red it's because I know what I'm saying is false or I don't have proof, so I shouldn't write that.

I do not agree with this.

Only the color has changed. Saying that BitcoinGirl.Club is a liar, that he cannot be trusted and that he has mental problems, should be written in red.

Yeah but mine truly is not even human. He is not competing on a level playing field so I don't know if I would seriously consider him for the number 1 human spot.

On a more serious note, everyone has his own way. In the case of DdmrDdmr he uses leverage, so to speak. JayJuanGee spends a lot of time on the forum and gives out merits manually each time. Sometimes I have found that he has given me a merit for an old comment on page like 3 of a thread, as well as other people for posts on the thread, which makes me think he had gone through all the pages of the thread, giving merits one by one to posts he finds constructive.

June 2022. JJG 776 txs.

May 2022. JJG 783 txs.

I am talking about sending merits. Can't see anybody with more sent merits transactions than him. If you still see many users with more txs tell me who they are.

To note a curiosity, I see that JayJuanGee would be number 1 in terms of transactions or number of times he gives merits, as I think most of the time he gives 1. In other cases the total merits are higher but with less transactions.

Apart from that, I would not be surprised if in the August update fillippone was number 1 in terms of total merits distributed, as he distributed quite a few in the reputation section for a topic that touched him.

This is not the first time we have had this kind of drama in the section. The previous ones that I remember ended up with the negative feedback changed to neutral.

I think the best thing to do if you are bothered by someone is to ignore them.

If someone is misusing the trust system, they will end up out of DT.

Well, I as I have said in other comments, I support the creation of the local board, especially since there is no African local board and you are the largest community on the continent, apart from the fact that I see the positive contributions made to the forum by you, CryptopreneurBrainboss, igehhh and many others from Nigeria.


I was simply trying to understand why the local board has not been created, and since there is no official answer about it, I assumed it would be because they foresee little traffic. I see logic in your argument that if the local board was created there would be more traffic but surely theymos is not so sure about it.

I agree with this, and more so with restrictive legislations that force KYC to the extreme, such as the one in place in the European Union. It seems to me that if it ends up being approved the trips of Europeans to El Salvador are going to grow, for sightseeing, spending their Bitcoin while in the country and exchanging some Bitcoin for fiat.

Activity: 322
Merit: 0
8 negative tags by DT members.
A flag overwhelmingly supported.

Do you really expect anyone at all to believe you?

In the case of Royse777 it could be more credible because of his involvement in the Bitlucy case, but DireWolfM14? You calling him a scammer just makes me laugh.

So, I understand that the proposal to create a local board for Nigeria has come to nothing, right? At least for the time being. The bad thing about this is that there is no official response from theymos or someone from the staff explaining the reasons why it is not being created. 

I feel that maybe they understand that there is not enough traffic. Looking at the thread, I see that there were 13 posts yesterday, which for a single thread is not bad, but if it were a local board, with multiple sections, it would be at a standstill.

In the end it is a socialist measure offered as a solution to a problem created by socialism. The war has exacerbated the problem but the increase in energy prices started earlier, and it has a very clear solution: make it easier for companies to extract oil and compete with each other.

This is part of the more general problem of inflation, which also has a very clear solution, which always works: reduce government spending, lower taxes and raise rates as much as necessary, much more than they are now.

These millionaires have lawyers and tax advisors on their payroll, who provide them with solutions to what you are talking about. Instead of asking in a forum, they ask their lawyers about the doubts you mention.

Besides, you are taking a lot of things for granted, which need not be the case:


Not in all cases are millionaires going to be unable to prove that. And in any case, most of them legalized their situation long ago, not now. Look at the Winklevoss twins for example.
