3341  Other / Meta / Re: How many times can I change my account password? on: January 10, 2021, 02:57:20 PM
Why @Yatsan is changing passwords so often is known only to him, but unless he's too paranoid, what comes to my mind is the possibility that he may have used a public or insecure computer, so he wanted to make sure no one would get his password in some way.
I don't know how he can manage too many passwords like that and it is only for the account on the forum. If he acts the same for other accounts of his, it will be weird. Change password too often can create a mess if one day, you lose control of the newest password and can not find which one is the newest in hundreds or thousands of passwords are saved.

If passwords are used or changed are not randomly generated, it will be bad as he can repeatedly makes some similar passwords with minor difference in between.

The screenshot was taken from mempool.space. If OP want to get estimated fee from mempool size, then the jochen-hoenicke.de is better as OP can hovering mouse on the third chart and get details at any point of time on the graph.

With that site and that chart, 1 block will take a maximum of 1 MB from the tip of mempool. Use it to get estimate of waiting blocks and correspondent fee. Mempool changes and you can only get fee estimates, that can be correct or inaccurate.

A large majority of peoples in the world believes on paper money. They think that this is used for buying or selling things. A currency which has a physically appearance in the world.
Paper money or paper-printing fiat is only one of ways governments use to distribute their air-backed money to their people. Paper is paper and has very low value if is not backed by central banks and by governments. But at the ends, governments and their inflated economies can collapse at any time as the Venezuela has.

Quote
But the upcoming world is the world of  digital currency. Because it is easy and reliable way for sending and receiving money at any place in the world. We can send or receive money within minutes.
But there is a huge difference between both the currencies.
Digital currency is better as you can bring them around with a phone and mobile devices but they can be stolen as same as paper money. Easier or more difficult, it depends on how you secure your digtal currency wallets and your devices.

Digital currency can have zero value too if you are mentioning any shit tokens or scam currency.

Ok right. You already have your account on Binance and your account already has Bitcoin so let's click on the Wallet, Overview, and Withdrawal. Type in BTC ticker in the search box. You will see the withdrawal fee that is 0.0005 BTC and this amount equals to $20.49. It is not a small fee especially if compares it to the amount of bitcoin you buy each time and the total amount you have in your account.

Not your keys, not your coins, as the saying goes. It is very correct but because of your balance, and Binance is a big, reputable exchange so I think you can leave your bitcoin on Binance for a while. When you have enough BTC to reduce the % of withdrawal fee per total BTC you have, make your withdrawal.

Binance got hacked in the past and they spent compensation for customers from their exchange fund. You can trust them, somewhat.

On the market, the only friend is a market trend. Follow the trend and you will win. It is true only if you follow a trend, and don't use leverages as with leverages, your isolated or cross margin balance can be liquidated with some weak-downs along the way. Even the trend is upwards, you and yours can be liquidated.

The market does not mind about your appearance on the market as you are only very minor element, as a sand in a desert.

I thought it would be impossible for bitcoin to overtake the Euro/US Dollar with those high transaction fees.
Fee in 2020 (about $16) and 2021 is cheaper  than in December 2017 (> $50). What do you meant? https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactionfees.html
Median transaction fee recently only climbs back to the peak in the last 3 month period: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin

And if this is still the case, why do we all believe in this expensive currency?
It has a fixed total supply. It has scheduled halvings after around 4 year (after each 210,000 blocks). Many bitcoin was lost and bitcoin is the initiator of the blockchain industry that is the future of human civilization.

Indeed a total unexpected result of Gladbach - Bayern and what is kinda even surprising is that Bayern had 2-0 in the lead and they still manage to lost. All the respect for Gladbach today as they really played sharp with a lot of nice executions that result in goals. Now it's time for Dortmund and Leipzig to speculate this result but unfortunately they're facing each other this weekend.
The match began easy for Bayern and it is not a way Bayern should be challenged in their games. They can have difficult matches but manage to win with late goals or moments from their stars. That match is different, they began well, took a lead of 2 goals that is not a small advantage. Then they lost it easily and ended with a defeat. It is a strange match and not looks a normal Bayern.

It is my congratulations for Gladbach as they fighted so hard and deserved that win.

It appears the regulators are pushing anonymous coins to grey market exchanges without KYC and decentralized exchanges hehe. This will be their mistake hehe. This will cause the grey markets to grow as the demand for anonymous coins grow. Regulators should want them in compliant exchanges where they can monitor them.
Yeah. You are right. They made mistakes like what the Chinese governement made and forced their companies to find many different ways to decentralized their operations and switch their operations far beyond of China mainland.

People always find out a way to make their lives better. I believe very strongly that anonymous or privacy coins won't die easy as that. It is an ignorance on the fact that they are true anonymous or privacy coins, I assume they are indeed. Governments are more stupid than their citizens and they only have power in hands to ban, restrict what they can not control on.

The best thing about taxes is that we have the ability to move to another country and there's plenty tax havens to choose from.
It's possible to avoid them just not the way people thought it would be.

We'll see if money from altcoins will move to bitcoin but looking at the price of XRP vs Bitcoin right now it looks like this is happening. I'm almost sure that if all centralized altcoins were to die right now we'd have a huge pump on BTC.
The crypto market will not have only bitcoin and altcoins will be on the market for so long. Altcoins are created as forks from bitcoin then fork from grandfather altcoins. They are created to catch investment capital (in fiat or in BTC) and to steal capital of investors. You can consider them as tools to help whales steal fiat or bitcoin from most to a few.

But they, altcoins, will survive and exist on the market. I don't doubt about their future. They are struggling to break out and begin their alt season.

how to sell anonymously for cash?

how to store stablecoins?
Cash and stable coins are not the same. Stable coins are like digital cash but the world is still far from a day when you can use stable coin or cryptocurrency (include CBDCs) to pay for all of your expenses in real life.

So let's obey the tax law regulation in your nation. When you actually cash out in fiat (not stable coin), pay tax per law, if you don't want to have jail time. 20 BTC has a big value today.

Even you will trade on real DEX, it does not mean you and your trades will be 100% anonymously. At least your trade partner knows such details (trade details, your identities)

Your bitcoin is there and it is marked as Unspent. That is very normal.

You need to read UTXO - Unspent Transaction Output: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/mastering-bitcoin/9781491902639/ch05.html
Quote
Transaction Outputs and Inputs

The fundamental building block of a bitcoin transaction is an unspent transaction output, or UTXO. UTXO are indivisible chunks of bitcoin currency locked to a specific owner, recorded on the blockchain, and recognized as currency units by the entire network. The bitcoin network tracks all available (unspent) UTXO currently numbering in the millions. Whenever a user receives bitcoin, that amount is recorded within the blockchain as a UTXO. Thus, a user’s bitcoin might be scattered as UTXO amongst hundreds of transactions and hundreds of blocks. In effect, there is no such thing as a stored balance of a bitcoin address or account; there are only scattered UTXO, locked to specific owners. The concept of a user’s bitcoin balance is a derived construct created by the wallet application. The wallet calculates the user’s balance by scanning the blockchain and aggregating all UTXO belonging to that user.

TIP
There are no accounts or balances in bitcoin; there are only unspent transaction outputs (UTXO) scattered in the blockchain.

3353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A question to people who have been hodling their Bitcoins since early days on: January 07, 2021, 05:49:58 AM
Any person would sell their stash at few 'x', what factors made you keep holding it?
They took profit with small of their bitcoin, got rich enough and are enjoying their lives. For the leftover of their bitcoin (bigger or smaller than the amount they took profit), they are holding it and wait for next halving day.

It is very obvious that they are real bitcoiners and have very strong belief in bitcoin. As bitcoin gets them rich, they won't have things to lose in the future.

If they are enjoying their lives, they likely don't visit the forum and don't see this topic.
3354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: satoshi byte fees ??? on: January 07, 2021, 02:51:06 AM
You can get from there the transaction size, and multiply yourself with the amount/vByte you want to pay.
https://bitcoindata.science/plot-your-transaction-in-mempool.html has its tool to calculate size of transaction.

OP need to know the type of addresses (sending and receiving).

Mempool is not big now but 1 MB from the tip is 80 sat/vbyte so exchanges will use kill fee. https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h. It is good for OP that the wallet allows to customize fee and the fee from 4 to 6 satoshi/vbyte can be good now. It will not give instant (1 block) transaction but save fee and acceptable waiting time.

The definition for panic buying or FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Read the definition: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/panicbuying.asp

The FOMO wave raises the price to the Moon in short period but it is unsustainable and it will peak at the maximum euphoria after which the market will be crashed. You can look at the psychological chart and understand its meaning.

Bitcoin Season is coming to an end. Now we just have to wait and be patient for Altcoin Season.
Key is being in Altcoins long before that chart actually hits Altcoin Season (to get maximum profit).
Altcoins are trying to climb and break out. It is still far from the point to call it as altcoin season but they already break the one third bottom line (25%). There are 3 figures today.
- Altcoin month indes: 33
- Altcoin season index: 27
- Altcoin year index: 39

I am waiting for the altcoin month index to hit 50 points as it might trigger the capital to flow to altcoins. After that the altcoin season index might hit 50 points and all the game for altcoins will be set.
3358  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Trading Altcoins with USD/USDT vs BTC? on: January 06, 2021, 05:47:53 AM
With the on going hype of bitcoin, it is good if you are trading your altcoins with USDT/ USD. With the hype that is killing the altcoin price in BTC, it is stupid to trade with this pair.

To get short term profit, USD/ USDT
To invest long term and wait for double profits, BTC pairs for altcoins.

Use the first for short term profit and when hype of Bitcoin stops, use the second for long term, as it helps you to increase amount of bitcoin and in very long term, bitcoin will keep rising.
3359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another attempt at Bitcoin ETF..You knew it was coming once BTC raised above ATH on: January 06, 2021, 05:30:55 AM
i don't think it has anything to do with the current price action because they (among others) have been trying to get SEC to approve their ETF for a very long time. it seems like they try at least once a year if not more. they did it even when price was falling in 2018 and 2019 and haven't given up yet.
it is interesting that US keeps rejecting ETFs while the rest of the world is already celebrating the anniversary of their ETFs.
SEC news were used to raise or sink bitcoin price in 2017 to 2019. People used to think that SEC approval, disapproval, posititve or negative decisions will help bitcoin grows more or will kill bitcoin.

What was demonstrated by the market? Bitcoin fell because of bear market and rose because of bull market. In different market, SEC news have different things to do with bitcoin price action.

Obviously, the new attempt at Bitcoin ETF is absolutely a positive new.
3360  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is alt season? What does it entail? on: January 06, 2021, 02:46:09 AM
So currently we're not yet in the altcoin season as obviously bitcoin is still dominating. And almost all altcoin are still way below their previous all time high although Ethereum already break the 4 digits barrier but it need as a lot of money to even break $1400, its all time high.
Some altcoins are rising too much in recent weeks but you are right that it is not an altcoin season as not most of altcoins are rising. They rise next-by-next and don't rise at the same day or week.

Moreover, they are rising mainly in their price with USDT, not rising much in BTC. A few altcoins have doubled or trippled their price in BTC and more increases in USDT as price of Bitcoin in USDT is still rising. The altcoin season will only come when people feel safe with bitcoin, don't see bubble burst with bitcoin, then bitcoin is stable price for a while and altcoins might rise all together.
