3021  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Can you give a clean Chit to Binance after Knowing This... on: January 07, 2023, 11:34:55 AM
I keep saying this. I am a trader and one day people will know how heavily manipulated BNB is and all the pointless copycat chains.
~snip~

I can't say anything else that would make more sense than what you wrote, because such things have already been proven in the last ten years, but there are millions of naive people to whom you can sell anything, as long as it is nicely packaged. The recent statements made by CZ regarding how CEX are safer than non-custodial wallets in the sense that most will lose their coins if they keep them themselves is just a confirmation of the direction their game is going.

I have never invested in a stable coin or token in my life because I consider it completely wrong and risky, and in just a few months Kwon+Bankman cost their clients over $100 billion, almost 1/3 of all mined BTC if we were to take into account the market cap. It is stupid to even ask the question of whether the lesson has been learned, because we know the answer to that question...

Thank you for this! This will help especially the newbies like me. We really make sure that our post is good quality content so that the forum also can grow more effective and efficient to learners about cryptocurrency.
Newbies like you? Buddy, you are a Full Member registered 5 years ago, you are hardly a Newbie. Or maybe you actually wanted to write this with one of your alt accounts but you forgot to switch it?   Grin

I already commented on his post in another thread, so although I can agree that he considers himself a beginner, persistently repeating the same thing will not help him become any more experienced. Knowledge is all around us, you just need to have a true desire to adopt it, and if something is not clear to you, you can always ask the search engine, ask a question on the forum or what is very popular now, ask AI Smiley
3023  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are Address Poisoning Scams? on: January 07, 2023, 11:11:32 AM
Let no one be offended, but how stupid do you have to be to copy a coin address from a list of transactions, and still blindly believe that it is your address? In addition, in most cases (whenever possible) for privacy reasons, it is recommended to use new addresses, but I believe that many people are not even aware that they can have an unlimited number of coin addresses, because they might compare it to opening a bank account.

However, as we can see, this is aimed more at altcoins users than Bitcoin users, and it seems to me like a fairly trivial scam that only relatively inexperienced users can fall for.
3024  Other / Meta / Re: What one change would you like to see in bitcointalk in 2023 on: January 06, 2023, 04:19:08 PM
I, on the other hand, would like to see a rule that one can participate in signature/bounty campaigns exclusively with one account in one campaign, not as we have the case now with multiple accounts in multiple campaigns.
This rule is already in there for most of the campaigns.

Does it make sense to cut someone's sentence in half just to write something that I know very well exists?

If someone got 4-5 or more accounts just for the sake of participating in sig. campaigns, chances are they wont get accepted in any, since such users are mostly broken (i)nglish sh*tposters. Again, a good manager can easily spot them.

What a naive way of thinking, as if anything other than filling all the spots in the campaign is important these days. If most managers looked at quality, most campaigns wouldn't be able to fill even 50% of spots, and that's a truth that everyone knows, but we can pretend that the rule of "5 merits in 120 days" is something that makes a good poster.

You obviously don't know the case of a user who abused the CM campaign with 3 accounts for years until it was discovered?
3025  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price guess, 2023 on: January 06, 2023, 04:05:23 PM
I was mainly talking about the crazy weather in US but Europe despite seeing a higher temperature overall is experiencing below zero degrees too. For example on Tuesday when I made that post London had seen the -2 degrees the night before. And of course the Nordic countries and some in Eastern Europe are cold as balls by default.

You want something bad to happen too much, so you look for the slightest sign of something that would indicate that it will happen. London is in the UK and is not part of the EU, and the Nordic countries are a story by themselves, while it should be emphasized that Norway is not a member of the EU. From Eastern Europe, only Russia freezes, that's why I asked you that question and posted a map with temperatures.

People should seriously stop repeating this FUD whether it was created by Russia or EU.
Whether EU temperatures drop to -50 or go up to +50 the energy crisis is still very real and the industries that shut down already and the businesses that were forced into insolvency are also very real. The money they are constantly printing that will cause high inflation in long term is also very real. The recession that has also influenced bitcoin price is very real too.

Again, you want to believe that only bad things happen in the EU, but I understand your reasoning considering that your country actively supports Russian aggression with drones and who knows what else. Fuel, gas and food prices have been falling for months, and all countries are actively working to boost their economies through various measures.

In addition, they are actively working on more and more alternative supply routes for gas, and be sure that the EU will endure another 2-3 months of winter (which is actually not the case), and that by the next heating season it will be completely independent of Russia.

By the way, I hear that the air quality in Tehran is so bad that even the schools are closed, I wonder who is to blame for that...
3026  Economy / Speculation / Re: Michael Saylor and Bitcoin or Michael Saylor and altcoin? on: January 06, 2023, 03:46:54 PM
I think ETH is not really that much of a risk at all, it is actually the second biggest coin and for a while it was so close to bitcoin as well in marketcap, couldn't flip it but it was close.

No matter how stupid someone thinks Saylor is, the man just invests in Bitcoin in various ways and is responsible for his actions, which is the hallmark of adults and responsible people. Regardless of the current price of Bitcoin, in the long term it is a better investment than any altcoin, especially the one you mention, and especially after it moved to POS. This made the centralized project even more closed, and also subject to various internal manipulations that could result in a disaster at any moment.

Furthermore, do you know what gives the project its size? The fact that Vitalik does not even know what the max supply of his token is, and although he said it was 100 million, it is currently 122 million, and now he claims that it will still be 150 million. In other words, x6 more tokens in circulation put it in second place by market capitalization, which is pure manipulation and nothing more.
3027  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I came here to Learn On Bitcointalk on: January 06, 2023, 03:07:33 PM
Hello there! I'm also newbie in this forum and still learning some things about cryptocurrency.
~snip~

It's strange that you still consider yourself a beginner, so even though you don't have too many posts, you still registered on the forum in 2017. Unless you bought an account (I hope you didn't), you should have learned at least some basic things that would be in line with your rank.



I know I am late here...

It's never too late to start learning something new, you just need a little time and perseverance, and in that case you can reach some older members in knowledge or in rank. Let's see what you can achieve this year Wink

Edit : it seems that this is the alt account of user @fennic, now I remembered the very obvious merit abuse between those two accounts - unfortunately I hoped in vain Undecided
3028  Other / Meta / Re: What one change would you like to see in bitcointalk in 2023 on: January 06, 2023, 02:52:04 PM
Did you mean if one person have 3 accounts, but only one account is able to participate in signature campaign while the other two accounts shouldn't join any campaign even though those both accounts are eligible and not cheating in the same campaign?

I think it would be fair to all other users of the forum who have only one account and may not be able to get a place in a sig campaign because someone uses their alt accounts in 4 or 5 different sig campaigns. Of course, that rule will not change, nobody wants to officially be a policeman on the forum and investigate such things.
3029  Other / Meta / Re: What one change would you like to see in bitcointalk in 2023 on: January 06, 2023, 02:28:20 PM
A nice change would be to limit the number of accounts allowed.
~snip~

The problem is that you cannot impose such a rule even if you wanted to, given that people use VPN and TOR to hide their real IP addresses. Of course, many come across the evil fee, which is in some way a defense against the creation of large bot farms, but this fee can be paid, and some members have the option of removing it upon request.

I, on the other hand, would like to see a rule that one can participate in signature/bounty campaigns exclusively with one account in one campaign, not as we have the case now with multiple accounts in multiple campaigns. Sometimes it's funny to see how one and the same person has a discussion with himself using alt accounts.
3030  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: An Example of Not your Keys Not your coins on: January 06, 2023, 02:10:07 PM
I would say that a successful scam requires at least two people, one who is behind the scam, and the other who will believe in it and invest in it. I remember when some on this forum questioned the legality and risks of the platform mentioned by the OP, and unfortunately many did not understand how stupid it was to believe that such a literal Ponzi scheme could last forever.

It's not just the fine print, expensive lawyers and sleazy CEO that we have, it's the millions who have no idea what they're doing - because every concept of banks and interest in the world of cryptocurrencies is completely wrong, especially if it's Bitcoin. It's too late for some things now, but it seems that even after everything, people have learned almost nothing - millions of BTC are in the possession of various CEXs, and their clients are exposed to the risk of being left without everything.

But you can't force someone to act smart if he insists on being stupid, right?
3031  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can trustwallet be hacked. can the owners take money of all the users? on: January 06, 2023, 01:57:33 PM
Sorry but is Trust wallet really open source?

Who says that is so? It is a well-known fact that this wallet is not open source, and even that is clearly stated in the second post of this topic.



I knew about android phones since version 1.0 but till this day I have never seen a n android phone getting infected with malware, I don't think it's possible but correct me if I am wrong.

It is quite possible, Android is not immune to malware and viruses. I have personally seen some smartphones infected with very vicious malware that at that moment could not be removed in any way, not even a factory reset. I can't remember what that malware was called, although we mentioned it on the forum.

If you are interested in more, there are good articles that describe in detail some of the most dangerous malware that attack the Android OS, and how to prevent them - use the search engine and keywords.
3032  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it advisable to memorize seed phrase? on: January 06, 2023, 11:30:47 AM
...Can seed phrase be memorized? It's advisable to memorize seed phrase?

Why don't you try and see if it is possible to remember 12 or 24 words? Of course it is possible, but if you use your brain as storage, then you have to take into account that this storage can be damaged at any time, whether it is due to an accident or some disease that causes memory loss. In addition, keeping such things in your head is not smart for another reason, because someone can use it to find out about them while you are not completely conscious (under the influence of alcohol, drugs).



Why don't you consider uploading it to the cloud?
That is what I did with metamask phrases. I remember the password of my email. And in fact, all I need to remember is the password of my email, I synced everything, so when I log in to Gmail, everything automatically gets synced, and I have the doc where my seed phrase is saved.
I'd recommend that, it is convenient, easy.

Don't come here to cry if someone hacks you, and you won't be the first one to have it happen because he thought such things should be kept online. It's one of the worst ways to store seed/private keys, and I hope no one listens to your advice.
3033  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can trustwallet be hacked. can the owners take money of all the users? on: January 06, 2023, 11:12:51 AM
I've also heard that it was possible to hack, with physical access to the equipment, a Trezor. But there is no record that anything ever happened to a Ledger.

When you write it like that, it looks like it's a rumor, but the truth is that it's a proven fact and that any Trezor HW that is not protected with a passphrase or SD card can be hacked in 5 minutes with equipment worth $100. Of course, it is a physical attack, which means that the HW should be stolen/lost.

Ledger had its vulnerabilities, but as far as is known, they have all been patched, although the Ledger Leak is something that definitely seriously damaged the company's credibility. Someone who is in such a serious business should not allow such situations.
3034  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can trustwallet be hacked. can the owners take money of all the users? on: January 05, 2023, 04:21:46 PM
If you want security, then forget all desktop/mobile/online or hardware wallets and focus on cold storage. Of course, the whole thing boils down to the fact that you need a device that is not and will never be connected to the Internet, and a little knowledge about how to make cold storage in the correct way. It's just advice, of course you do everything at your own risk.
3035  Other / Meta / Re: Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed on: January 05, 2023, 04:14:20 PM
Someone copied part of my post. Does this count as plagiarism?

Original:
I can make a deal per post, per week, per month or per year, payment in Bitcoin. Payment can be fixed in Bitcoin or dollars, but has to happen in Bitcoin. I prefer to be paid upfront, but I'm flexible if you're trusted enough.

Copy:
I can make a deal per post, per week, per month or per year for all the three above separately or together. Payment to be made in Bitcoin. We may agree to a fixed payment in dollars but the payment mode will be bitcoin.


Of course it is plagiarism, part of the post or the whole post does not matter at all. The user in question produced a bunch of garbage on the forum just today, and in order to prove that he is a very active user, he obviously doesn't mind using other people's posts.
3036  Economy / Services / Re: Krishnaverma's Signature, Avatar and Personal Text for rent on: January 05, 2023, 03:53:49 PM
As many as 12 threads so far today, and 90% of them are low-value and zero-effort copy-pasting. If you continue like this, you will not achieve anything of what you have planned, but the exact opposite - some members will put you on ignore, and others will often use the "report to moderator" button.

Being active and being active with quality content are two different things.
3037  Economy / Economics / Re: Amazon secures $8B loan, anticipating market headwinds on: January 05, 2023, 03:38:56 PM
Is there a good format for deploying a stablecoin or altcoin that improves on loan advantages gained by inflation being high? Coupled with interest rates being lower than inflation?

Do you still think that every problem can be solved with a new coin, token or stablecoin? You've been talking about it for years, and I've never seen any of your ideas turn out to be anything other than empty talk. What about the idea that firewood is the new bitcoin - have you looked at the temperatures in Europe this winter?
3038  Economy / Economics / Re: How do cryptocurrencies affect Global Economy? on: January 05, 2023, 03:15:42 PM
If we were to compare the total value of all cryptocurrencies, then according to the CMC market cap, it would currently amount to a little more than $800 billion - and for comparison, the US defense budget for last year was about $780 billion. I think that this speaks more than enough about the importance of crypto-currencies on the global economy, and the so-called CDBC should not be mixed in, because apart from the digital aspect, there is nothing different about it from money as it exists today.

As for the petro-dollar, I think that project is far from any success, and I doubt that anyone will copy it, but China and its CBDC are a different story because they are forcing it without asking the opinion of their residents. In some further development, that currency could be accepted by some other countries that are politically and economically close to them, but it is more likely that it will still serve them for even greater control over their residents with all the measures they are already implementing.
3039  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it true that this AI is good for trading? on: January 05, 2023, 02:48:28 PM
I can only copy opinion of one member who recently, when asked about those who sell various crypto courses on trading, wrote that only those who sell it actually make money - and I think it is similar with those so-called AI bots. If someone has a trading bot that is special and makes a profit, he will certainly not sell it if he can make a profit with it.

I advise less YT and all the possible magic that is presented there, which will result in a smaller number of fairly meaningless questions on the forum.
3040  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Argentina's Leading Presidential Candidate Preaches Bitcoin on: January 05, 2023, 02:03:16 PM
~snip~
And maybe this is going to be the one that will push Bitcoin to it's new high in 2024 or at least 6 digits minimum when President of a country backing up it up as legal tender.

I don't know how old you are, but some of the comments look like they were written by elementary school kids, who also have no idea about Bitcoin or economics. To think that one man's opinion will cause some massive bull run that will launch Bitcoin above $100k is childish to say the least, because if we should have learned anything from the example of El Salvador, it is that "legal tender" means almost nothing if people they don't want to use Bitcoin as a currency.

I really don't understand what is so attractive about the idea that politicians give some kind of approval for Bitcoin, when it basically functions without any permission from the Genesis block until today.
