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.

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. |

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.

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? |

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.

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.

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. |

I don't know why anyone engages in a discussion with such characters and gives importance to their ideas at all. However, until the new alt terrorist, this discussion is over because the OP got permanent cold storage -> https://bpip.org/Profile?id=3521140 |

I remember that over the years I have read so many positive news when it comes to politicians from Argentina and when it comes to Bitcoin, but I have not noticed that anything has changed until today. It remains to be seen whether the current presidential candidate is serious about what he is saying or just a populist looking for additional votes, but somehow it doesn't seem to me that Milei can get away with his radical ideas. Bitcoin is the natural reaction against the Central Bank scammers and to make money private again. […] In economies with high inflation, the scam problem is bigger. That’s why, as I suggest, you can propose to close the Central Bank.
7 years ago, the same story, only with a different name, very interesting  Argentina’s New President Might Just be a Bitcoin Supporter |

But I'm not talking about the living conditions of the people. It's one thing for a country to have nice GDP figures; it's another to have a high standard of living. China also has a dragon economy. But how's the millions of Chinese at the bottom? They're living in dire poverty.
That's what I was talking about, because numbers are one thing, and what really happens at the level of an ordinary person is something completely different. I have watched several documentaries about these mega factory-cities in China and I cannot say that it is anything other than a modern version of slavery where people live and work in very difficult conditions for very little money, and suicides and serious injuries at work are an everyday occurrence. I have no doubt that those at the top and the upper middle class have great benefits from all this, but I do not see it as a success for the country as a whole, but only for a part of the privileged. |

I hope this happens, as with the Dubaian account.
The third case of plagiarism was carefully copied from various sources. I ask the moderators to be fair. It seems that you will have to find at least one more plagiarized post from @fennic, because all the reported posts have been deleted, and the moderators only recognize the direct post in reports, the archived and the quoted content are not credible evidence. |

A question for the mods if they happen to peek into this thread - why are you deleting the plagiarized posts from this member instead of doing the same as in other cases? |

If you truly believe you can make great money, then you will probably WIN. Best wishes to the winners!
What does believing in something have to do with what will happen in real life? Everyone who starts dealing with crypto trading thinks that they can make a lot of money, they don't do it because they are bored in life or have excess money that they want to lose. Those who will eventually say that they have profited are in very small numbers, and their success does not depend only on what they truly believed would succeed, but also because they invested a lot of time, money, and were persistent in what they were doing - with of course a certain talent that is always a part of success. The negativity in this thread is both amazing and somewhat encouraging for the rare people destined to do great at trading.
It is not a negativity but a reality supported by statistics that show how difficult it is to be successful in this type of trading. However, at the end of the day, everyone is free to invest their money however they want, and cryptocurrency trading is just one of the ways to lose money quickly (if you don't know what you're doing). |

That won’t work… we need more something like posting in WO allowed only for Sr. Members or above
Like we have in Serious Discussion and Ivory Tower… theymos can do it if requested.
Did I suggest this in Meta not so long ago or it just seems to me that we had such a discussion? In any case, I think it would be a good idea, although the admin might think about it only if it had the support of the majority of members who regularly post on this board. |

Vietnam has been growing quite well in the past few decades. It has somehow already transitioned from a largely agricultural country to agro-industrial, from poor to middle income. Manufacturing has been continuously expanding. Thanks to the large and cheap labor market, it has become a very good alternative to China. It has really stood up as a great investment country especially in Asia. Personally, I'm amazed that certain brands I really admire like Nike, Deuter, Columbia, Osprey, and others are now coming from Vietnam.
It means that they moved from a country that was primarily oriented towards agriculture to a country that cheaply rents its workers to large global corporations that produce expensive brands for low wages. It is really a great success, especially if we only look at numbers and percentages, but do people live better, are they happy to work in bad conditions for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week? |

You had to solve old style captcha which would have taken like -10 seconds and 5 bitcoins were yours in return. If you did this once a day, you could have been a millionaire today.
That faucet didn't last long because even then there were people who abused everything they could, and your reminder doesn't really make much sense considering that everyone could mine Bitcoin on their computer back then, and the reward per block was as much as 50 BTC. Therefore, if you claim on that faucet every day in one month (30x5 = 150 BTC), while with only one mined block per day, you would have even 1500 BTC per month. Were you aware of this news ?
Most people know about that faucet, but in the context of the time it existed, I don't believe anyone got rich using it. Those who mined at that time probably said even then that it was a simple waste of time. |

Did you know that the first recorded Bitcoin trade occurred in 2010, when a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz offered 10,000 Bitcoins (worth about $40 at the time) to anyone who would order him a pizza?
It may have been the first purchase, but the first trade is still something that we attribute to one of the founders of this forum (Sirius), who sold 5000 BTC at the end of 2009. Also, Martti Malmi sold 10 000 BTC during 2011, and for that amount he bought an apartment near Helsinki - so in addition to the most expensive pizza, we also have probably the most expensive apartment in the world, given that the price of BTC at that time was between $15-$30. |

right. i think we need to encourage people mining on their own. and mining should make it easier.
Like monero, people can mine monero at home or on a vps.
BTC should be doing that too instead of some specific asics machines.
You don't know what you are talking about, because how would you encourage people to mine Bitcoin if we know that it is no longer possible without special devices, which are extremely expensive and consume a significant amount of energy, and in addition create a lot of noise. What you are talking about cannot be done as long as Bitcoin uses POW, which is the only logical thing - and once again I tell you that if you have so many doubts about Bitcoin, find another coin that you can mine yourself with your personal computer. One would think that you understood something after all the posts, but you still live in some illusions that have little to do with reality. |
