2961  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: IS it possible to let your BTC work for you ? on: January 19, 2022, 04:24:20 AM
Hey, I am wondering is it truly possible that my BTC works for me , without revealing my private keys and also without KYC ?
I have read and heard about similar things but they seem more like a Ponzi scheme.
Does anybody have any experience with a non-custodia platform/wallet /swap which does not require KYC but supports BTC ?

A privacy concerned BTC fan.

Without revealing your keys? That's security, not privacy. Since you are the rightful owner of your keys, your btc may still work for you but your privacy will be totally expose because even even staking, you will have to authorize( digital signature) to allow your btc to spend for you.
But how much of BTC do you think you need enough for btc to work for you with that small amount of Apy? The max I have seen are not more than 4.5% annually, it doesn't worth your privacy.

Na better thing you post so my dear but make I tell you something, that title no suppose be like that but I know say na make people turnup them put the New oil and trust my people, them go turn up very well because them no dy carry last but the moment them come the event and dem no sugar coat the matter, them go loose focus and na why many naija dy fall for scam.
I like the idea to align our people into new digital currency but be cautious of how u channel am for them before them go hold you for neck say you put them in a wrong investment especially when the price dump. Everywhere now dun red for people, tell them what they need to hear, na their choice to accept or reject.
2963  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What stopped you from starting crypto earlier??? on: January 18, 2022, 12:46:04 PM
Despite the mistakes, I have no regrets. I was misinformed and judged bitcoin, and I was wrong, and I didn't just stop there; I invested in cloud mining with funds that would have bought me 0.9 bitcoin, but I was foolishly caught by those who were ahead of me because they knew what bitcoin was all about but fed us lies and led us down the wrong path.

Now, the mistake I made gave me the opportunity to learn the difference between left and right and was able to come to light, and I didn't stop there, I decided to embrace the knowledge of Bitcoin and here I am, it's assisting me in everything that I spit out from my small head. I'm proud of myself for learning, and the responses have been fantastic.

The current bitcoin price is more than $40k, in my country at such a high price like this one can certainly buy a house with a land area of 100m2 or more, since the significant price increase I have never kept bitcoins and prefer to hold altcoins.

Bitcoin at its current price is a very great price regardless of any country you are in but the purchasing power might be different and the house you will be able to purchase with that amount perhaps wouldn't do much in another country.
I'm not saying you are poor, I don't know you or where you are from but you have just prove this point to me, my second argument here.

I like you because you understand very well where my point is, the average person who is still struggling to buy BTC of $100 will sell it anytime they have challenge but the rich will always find a way to get means to solve their problem and still hold their BTC untouched. Poor person may rush to sell his $100 as soon as the portfolio time 5. That's what rich people don't, they always wait for right time.

As much as I don't like Altcoins, stick to bitcoin and hodl, you never can tell exactly what the future holds for this asset. Don't sell your btc because it's having a high price now.
2965  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pakistani Central banks wants to ban crypto on: January 18, 2022, 12:32:47 AM
Government this, government that, blah blah with their threat wouldn't destroy bitcoin capitalization. See, I know if they allowed crypto (bitcoin) in the country, it will facilitate adoption but there rejection has nothing to play.
It happened here in my country and the works still moving fine, Infact the have adopted p2p more rapidly than the previous way of banking financing their deposit and withdrawal.
What is require of them is to discard anything that has to do with crypto transaction on their local bank account and Pakistans are good to go to their bitcoin normal life.

I doubt if you read the entire guide OP posted.


  • Works completely offline;
  • Supports multiple languages - (English, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian ...)

There you have it; those  are your answers.
2968  Other / Off-topic / Re: Neuralink is ready this year. would it be great or would it be scary? on: January 16, 2022, 09:19:25 PM
This is a terrific device. I remember seeing it in a movie where a chip was transplanted within a human brain not realising its already being tested on monkeys. I just watched a the video in which a monkey used his mind to play a video ping pong game with the help of an android. The reaction and how it tapped the game were near-perfect.
This technology may already exist in the sense that it is controlled or disguised by governments in order to prevent the world from seeing the negative aspects of it, similar to the comments I noticed on the websites when Elon Musk tweeted about the test in December.

Quote
Following Musk’s tweets, while one Twitter user jokingly wrote, “Will I be able to know what my parents are thinking at all times if they have it,” another asked, “...could I input a neural memory of how to play "Fur Elise" and my fingers receive the impulses and play it?”. One user simply said, “That’s literally amazing”. “Hearing about it is cool but I'm pretty excited to watch someone disabled walk again with this tech. Godspeed sir,” wrote fourth.

Why would somebody want to put this to the test on his parent? You can understand why the government must rigorously regulate this. These comments are frightening as proof to halt widespread abuse, but they might be used to help the disabled and certain sick individuals.
2969  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 2022 bear market? on: January 16, 2022, 08:30:04 PM
As we have seen the bull market of 2021, history has shown there to be a following of a bear market in the next year (2022). What are your thoughts so far and how do you believe it will play out.

I think the bear market is still just starting, btc should now be around 16-22k on average price until 2025.

Your thoughts?

Do you want to know what I think? Will you come with me? Alright! If you're worried enough, sell all of your BTC now and go back to sleep. Why are you afraid of market tumbling? It is not always an assurance that BTC price will go up, but you should believe that if it doesn't die in 2020, BTC will never die again because if you were there when the market was super hot and dripping on red, you wouldn't care what analysts compute about history, my dear friend.
2970  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Question on: January 16, 2022, 08:03:10 PM
Thank You for the reply. Which option would you suggest to stake coins with minimum risk?

It all depends on the coins you wish to stake!
As the poster above asks, the minimum is arbitrary to the user, and staking a sum should be substantial enough if it is genuinely worth the effort because I don't understand why you would want to stake $300 with a 5% APY. I believe that amount might turn into thousands of dollars in crypto, but doing it for bitcoin right now, it's not worth it. Instead, keep your coins in your wallet, and if you have more than $1000, acquire a hardware wallet for your security's sake.

EDIT
This post should be in Altcoin discussion

If you want your post to be on another board but mistakenly posted on the wrong board, scroll down to the last page of your thread and check the left side you will see an option to move the topic, click on it and move your topic.

2971  Other / Archival / Re: Registration statistics (2021 & All Years) on: January 16, 2022, 02:55:42 PM
I don’t know exactly what caused the surge in registrations at the beginning of 2021, but there is a version that at that time the forum was attacked by spammer bots, who registered a huge number of accounts every day and distributed various kinds of links through them, possibly with viruses.

If you look at that graph, you'll notice that it corresponds to the bull market. After Bitcoin's halving in March 2020, bitcoin breaks the previous all-time high, and I expect from that time until the end of 2021, they contributed to a greater number of registered users.
Other factors that may contribute to increasing in user base include:
  • Spammers: I get a lot of notifications when they post, and the accounts eventually go inactive after multiple warnings and ban from admins.
  • Scammers: Obviously, the goal was to defraud both projects and individuals.
  • Alternative bounties accounts: Last year, there were a lot of altcoin projects.
  • Accounts to discuss Bitcoin.
If you look at the graph for 2021, you'll notice that the number decreases as the hype sinks, and the number of users decreases as well.

Yeah, I could have chosen Bitstamp, but answer me this: Why not Binance?

Perhaps they have been in the industry for long before binance was launched. Bitstamp was established in 2011 and Binance was launched in 2017.
Another reason I feel they used Bitstamp is, the two exchange are both centralized both may be one is more manipulative and self-centered to profits. They wouldn't want anything that will destabilize the entire market.
2973  Other / Meta / Re: Automatic BTC price indication on Bitcointalk threads on: January 15, 2022, 03:48:09 PM
It calculates based on the Binance's exchange rate.

Your hands are good at typing out some magics.
Why did you decide to use the Binance exchange rate? I was thinking if you will use Bitstamp just like the default view of BTC/USD on Tradingview, its view worldwide.
2974  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin wallet on phones on: January 15, 2022, 10:08:55 AM
Do you know why we have most wallet on PC, it's because developers built them and most of the time it is a collective efforts of people combined. They keep improving to satisfy the need of people and the one you see mostly recommended is Bitcoin core(you get both privacy and proper security) and ready for download for everyone and their source code is always available on Github repository, another mostly used is Electrum but privacy wise, it's not recommended, they are both available for Linux and windows.

Android and IOS controlled the device they produce and they are very centralized with the App you upload on their store, it undergoes series of test before they publicly published for the masses, you see the stress and that's why developers don't waste time on Android and IOS due to their centralized nature.


BlueWallet is good choice since it has good balance between security and ease of use. But if you have serious privacy concern and willing to learn, check Samourai Wallet.

I think ETFbitcoin suggestted Samourai wallet if you want something portable for mobile bitcoin wallet.

For your security, avoid paper wallet, this is 2022.

What is the safest crypto wallet for android smartphone? Not everyone has laptops or hardware wallets all android crypto wallets can't be closed source or I'm wrong?

If you intend to store bitcoin on your wallet, download Bluewallet, it's an open source but for Altcoins, that's another entire thing.
You can always create independent wallet of your choice.
2978  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Your guidance is needed on: January 14, 2022, 08:23:38 PM

2979  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BlockChain and Bitcoin on: January 14, 2022, 08:07:17 PM
Blockchain is a kind of technology that's very strong and good for adoption, but just in bitcoin alone but on other aspects of financial and life  but it wasn't sustainable enough to built bitcoin, that's why Satoshi added other technologies for its safety.
I will also make another small input between Bitcoin and bitcoin
People should learn to used Bitcoin when they are interactive with the Bitcoin protocol and bitcoin should strictly be for a it as a currency.
Misinformation sent to wrong person can send wrong knowledge to people.
2980  Other / Archival / Re: Bitcoin makes a loser a winner on: January 14, 2022, 07:46:40 PM
This is another example of self-made rich people but you know what, if you check their wallet, those bitcoin will no longer remain in their wallet, they should have probably sold for a penny that doesn't worth it.
If you look at the image, it's a giveaway contests with range category for different winners, they will definitely have sold for some a cup of beer.
I have learnt from bitcoin to always remain some fractions on my wallet anytime I want to sell any demanded coins, who knows what tomorrow will tell, you would have something to be proud of when others are going to the moon.
