Nu stiu. Ultima mea comanda de pe AliExpress avea (de la inceput) un AWB (nu toate au, dar asta avea). Acel numar l-am putut urmari pe site-uri internationale de tracking si tot acelasi AWB a aparut in sistem la Posta Romana cand a fost momentul (in mod ciudat apare ca a fost trimis dintr-o tara din UE, desi acea tara a fost doar proxy, dar asta e alta treaba, AWB-ul a fost acelasi). Deci in anumite cazuri se poate.


Vaaaai ce batran sunt.. nu am prins "tineretul" vorbind asa (de finesse auzisem, dar de bines.. nu inca)


Aaaa! LOL!

Although the charts are pretty for now, I am either pessimistic, or just slow. I don't expect anything good yet because I fear to not be overly disappointed if a new leg down happens. And by my calculations the crypto winter is not over yet.
I genuinely hope that I'm wrong and we get back to better/more comfortable price range... but I don't feel we're safe/there yet.

I was away in the last few days and I was pretty much surprised nobody is talking about the drama from the drivers' "market".
Thank you for clarifying how we stand Do you have a double car for Ocon too?

While I do agree that most see crypto as a speculative asset, I don't agree that the investors and speculators are the main reason for the volatility. Gold also attracts investors and speculators and the volatility is rather small.


Gold or art are investments seen as store of value, yet they cannot really be used to buy goods and services.


The easier an asset can be sold, the more the chance it will lose value it's price will drop; I think that this is one of the reasons art and gold tend to look somewhat better when there's crisis.


Bitcoin historically is great investment for long term - minimum 4 years period. I think that it's not a store of value yet though. I expect though that in the future it will be shifting though from a very volatile asset to a more traditional store of value, where people won't have to wait for 4 years to be pretty much certain they're not losing.

You kinda said it yourself: this is all about Trading. I see no reason to add more subforums, Trading Discussion pretty much does the job. Also I will add Speculation as a great alternative.
Keep in mind, however, that if you want to do this for altcoins, Speculation (Altcoins) may be the better place.

I guess that the bigger problem is not so much the lack of services, but the minimum amount they work with, especially as the fees for handling cards are, afaik, big (or bigger).

I've looked at BestChange website for EUR VISA to BTC and I've seen some options/exchangers. Unfortunately only one is shown to accept small amounts; BestChange lists it as minimum 10 EUR, and their FAQ tells about minimum 35 EUR, maybe you see with the support of that exchanger. I've never herd of them, I recommend you also read the reviews and decide for yourself... at least if you don't get anything better.

I am not a journalist, so I don't have neither uncomfortable, nor historical or technical questions for him.
 
I would ask him if he is all right. He is missing for long, so his health and safety is a matter of concern.
And I would simply tell him "thank you for creating Bitcoin".

+1
If OP can properly set up a cold storage (maybe with Tails?) it would be much better to move the coins to a new address, so the owner has a better chance to notice something is wrong.
And after some more months, if no "proper owner" emerges (who can sign a new message, we all know the drill), the OP can see what he will do, even donate those bitcoins.

Use your brain. If this would be for real, in how many days hours minutes would the owner get bankrupt?


I have a feeling that you also joined under his ref link, so he was earning money from your every bet and so on. It's a much more reliable way to earn there than betting.


Are you sure this "cousin" is part of the family and it's not just a random youtuber?
I'm asking because it looks like this guy had a very good strategy to get you hooked.


This looks like Martingale to me. A great strategy to make you think you cannot lose, until you get a long enough losing streak and you get burnt big time.


A Hi-Lo game is.. like any casino game. Now think, how many go out richer from a casino?
So you've got hooked to gamble under somebody's ref link. You were amongst the vast majority who's losing in this kind of games. You're amongst the hopefully few who failed to understand that a casino is not charity (and definitely not a money prinitng machine) and you should gamble for fun, not to earn money.

Now, if you'll try to recover those money, the chances are bigger you lose even more. So, if you don't plan to just play small amounts you afford, for having fun, you better give up "earning from hi-lo games" and find yourself more lucrative ways to earn money. Kinda expensive way to learn, you could have been asking first, you would have gotten this lesson for free...

I don't think that a real whale keeps all his coins on hardware wallets. Cold storage, maybe with multisig would be the proper way. Also splitting, especially to not attract attention for the amount held in one address, may be in order. HW is great for smaller amounts, like what they'd keep with them when going out.
However, I would also not be surprised if there are whales keeping their coins at exchanges (!), especially in order to use them for trading, earning more, and, why not, manipulating the market a little when they can. Clearly, I talk here about whales who don't rely only on bitcoin for having all the goods they want in this life.

But.. this is how I imagine them. How do they behave in reality... we may never know.

Multumesc!


Nu e chiar asa rau, desi nu-i durea mana sa continue sa lucreze cu AWB-ul pe care coletul deja il avea si sa poata omul sa vada in ce stadiu se afla. Si na, daca trebuie sa ne bucuram pentru ceva ce ar trebui sa fie absolut normal (un colet sa ajunga la destinatie), inseamna ca nu doar mentalitatea noastra, ci si modul de lucru al Postei mai necesita imbunatatiri 


(nu am inteles acel bines)


Da, clar. S-ar putea, totusi, sa devin un pic mai selectiv.


Te referi la postarea de concursuri noi? Ca acolo mai fac copy-paste de unde apuc (iau o postare anterioara si o modific), deci este posibil ca uneori (in graba) sa te fi copiat pe tine si nu pe mine, cel putin partial (scuze, o sa imi dau silinta sa fiu mai atent).
In rest, nu stiu, nu sunt convins 

He may be referring to the balance of bc1qt2mdkehmphggajer3ur3g8l754scj4fdrmw3rn (the address for Lauda related puzzle). From the original 0.001 BTC now it has 0.00333333 BTC. Some more coins were sent there less than one month ago.
.. Just that's not Lauda's wallet, from what I know.

40 BTC is a huge number. Nobody will risk so much money here, nobody will want to show they have such big amounts here. Also 2 years is a very long time.
Here I see mostly short-term micro-loans, not such big scale lending.

Then you have to provide proper collateral. There's a pinned topic on that, you may want to read. Simply, if you have the proper collateral you may be better off just selling that.


Even more, when I see people asking here for a "business loan" I pretty much think that somebody, again, just wants somebody act as "angel investor" for their business, i.e. give the money, take the risks and "we'll see".
So yeah, unfortunately I don't think that you have chances here to get such an amount of money.

I finally received the card. My country's postal service has scared me since it has kept the package for almost a month under the radar (although it had international AWB, there was no longer tracking at all after arriving into the country), but all is good when it ends good, I've received it. This it the beauty:



Thank you MoparMiningLLC for the raffle and the prize!
And obviously thank you MinerJones for flawlessly handling the shipping!

Indeed. It's nice to have.

However, I'm on same page with mk4 here: this matters more for bitcoiners than to Papa John's; they've accepted it because, hey, a bit more publicity never hurts, but at the end of the day they're not that much into bitcoin, so, meh.

It's a good question and it has two sides.

First part is usually the "why should I obey to a girl?" and so on. Well, it's up to you really and you can easily evaluate your relationship based on that. However, you should discuss this with her carefully, since she may just have misconceptions on gambling and all could be solved nicely in a way both or you are happy.

Second, if you "obey", you can show that you are serious about the relation and, even more, you can show to yourself that you're not actually addicted to that (which, don't be fooled, is always a possibility).


However, I cannot answer to "will you stop" since I don't gamble much and I'm also already married.

I will add here that if you ever lose the device it's recommended you move your funds away as soon as you can, preferably to another hardware wallet (new wallet there, not recovery), since with physical access hardware wallet can be compromised.
But yes, the seed usually suffice; I advise you also write down the fist address of the new wallet (or, better, the derivation path, if you're knowledgeable enough, but that may be too advanced).

Of course that everybody has that. Everybody want your coins, no matter what nice advertising they put. They will make use of those coins and earn big bucks, you get some pennies and you also hold the risk. It's not worth it. The risk is too big for the benefit.

Teoretic da. Practic inca trebuie sa vad.
Joi am dat niste telefoane, mi s-a spus ca au un colet/recomandata pentru mine (deci ar trebui sa fie acela!), dar nu am ajuns joi acolo. Mi s-a promis ca imi va fi pastrat.
Vineri am plecat "in excursie", m-am intors aseara. Azi ar trebui sa ajung la posta. Apoi o sa revin cu noutati  

LE: L-am ridicat azi de la posta. E ce trebuie . Am postat poza in concursul original.
Deci am avut noroc. Chiar daca nu l-au introdus in sistem (ceea ce e ciudat, ca macar la coletele prea mici ma asteptam sa apara "colet prea mic si de aceea nu il trecem in sistem", ca la prostioarele pe care le mai iau de pe AliExpress), dar au fost OK cei de la posta de aici.

From what I know their customer support is too slow and useless for most users.

I don't use blockchain.com, I've used it a (very) little in the past. But doesn't blockchain.com allow to get the wallet seed? Can't that blockchain.com wallet get recovered into Electrum?
That's what I would do: get Electrum from electrum.org, verify the download, recover the wallet into Electrum and benefit of my bitcoin without KYC. Ideally I'd create a completely new wallet too and move my funds there (so my wallet seed is no longer linked to blockchain.com). And, if the funds are big, please consider buying a hardware wallet and sending them there.
