That really depends when you bought LUNA; if you bought it when price was $0.01, then I think that you can forget about the investemnt, but if you bought it around the current price, then you could maybe end up in profit as there will probably be few more pump&dump cycles before it gets delisted/forked/whatever


It was shitcoin long before this happened, but many were blinded by their marketcap, volume and whatnot while in reality all Terra had to offer is 20% APY on stablecoin and that was the only reason why anyone used it. More than 70% of all UST was locked in Anchor, meaning this was nothing but a ponzi scheme that had to eventually fall apart and  their "inventive" stablecoin mechanism just sped up the process.

Same thing can be said about many other "top altcoin projects" that will eventually fail as well.

To be honest, if CoinDebit came to forum providing so little info about their services(and not much can be found on their website) they would probably end up tagged like it happened with Criptodebit. One of the red flags for me is that they claim on the website that they are in business since 2020, while whois says that website is live since 2021 (and expires very soon), and same goes for their Twitter account. So honestly I don't see how this is any better than CryptoDebit. At least not at the first look.


Might be nothing but I just don't like when they lie about stuff like that.

Its not that is a bit too much, it is way too much. I quit using BATM when the one in my town increased the fee from 4.5 to 6%, so for me 11% fee is unacceptable really, especially at this day and age when you have so many different ways to buy/sell bitcoin.


I do get that running BATMs ain't cheat at all ( I had a lengthy conversation about that with my local operator) but 11% is really pushing it. Unless taxes for running BATM are much higher in the United States compared to Europe, but I always though that your taxes are generally much lower than here.

Good move, you probably exited at the last moment. I also thought about gambling 100-200 dollars but in the end I gave up as i suck as a trader and would probably just lose the money.


I do hope that this remains fail of the year and as I said before, it will be very hard to top this. It would have to be something huge like one of the top exchanges getting busted, or Tether going through the same thing.

Judging by this post, he already sold UST for bitcoin, with profit. Well, at least I hope he stick to that plan and sold within 3 hours.




Just another example how misleading market cap can be, yet very popular among newbies when deciding which shitcoin to buy.

I think that it all depends on the model. While i was more active in gaming I generally preferred online games that have some kind of subscription model as from my experience with "free to play" games they  ended to be way more expensive than just paying for a monthly sub.


No wonder that gamers don't like NFTs (and crypto in general, especially because GPU prices) because all we got so far are shitty browser based games that that didn't have gamers as target audience but people that are more into crypto that didn't play game for fun, but only to earn some money. And if you built your games around that, of course its going to suck and fail eventually.

I do think that play to earn can survive and that it has its place in gaming industry but developers will have to change the approach drastically.  Earning in game should be a secondary thing, like getting few bucks simply by doing what you like instead being the main focus of the game.

I don't think that would matter to me at all, whether exchange is publicly listed or not. Then again, if I absolutely have to use centralized exchange to buy bitcoin (which so far i never did), I would probably chose Coinbase over any other exchange, including Gemini/Binance.

If anyone had any doubts whether snowshow is an alt account of fxsurfer/antkivark/anthithesis, he finally revealed himself as he couldn't resist to leave a comment in Croatian local board where he spreads the same bullshit like with all those older accounts. Imho, his posting style and the same old story that he spreads should be evidence enough to ban this account as well, but unfortunately forum policy is different.

Sophie's choice. 


Not a bad idea. You don't plan to join Discord pizza contest?


Yep, @Cyrus announced that there will pizza contest this year as well but i think it will be on Discord only. https://discordapp.com/channels/708770300199698526/802194049720647691/976128996062416926



I am always up for the challenge and I am sure that I can learn few things from our fellow Italians. End goal of all this is to improve my pizza game anyway. 

Yeah definitely. I think the main reason @Cyrus kept it on Discord was that he wanted to sort animate the server, and while number of participants was decent first two years, I think that this year's would be much lower. Hopefully members of Italian board (*looking at fillippone*) would join if contest was hosted here, to show us how the real pizza is made.

I just hope I have enough time to make bitcoin themed pizza this year, as its been my tradition for 4-5 years now and I kinda have a lot of work lately and I have a crazy idea that would take me a lot of time.



Using microwave to bake pizza? Blasphemy!

Ne smatram ETH shitcoinom (i imam ga u portfoliju) ali mi nikada ne bi bio glavni hodl (niti blizu toga) jer ima svoje probleme.


S obzirom koliko je UST bila stejkano na Anchoru cini mi se da je jedina svrha toga bilo da ekipa pokupi pasivni income. A izgleda da Do Kwonu ovo nije prvi failani stablecoin. Ono sto je jos gore je da je bio kurcevit te se nije obazirao na upozorenja onih koji su mu govorili na koji nacin se moze sjebati cijeli Terra ekosistem. Evo i Twitter threada https://twitter.com/FreddieRaynolds/status/1463960623402913797. A Do Kwonov odgovor na ovo ce ostati upisan u anale kripto gluposti jer na kraju netko i je namjerno sve sjebao i pritom zaradio gomilu novca.



Jedan moj frend koji je izgubio nesto love na ovome je to fino objasnio, da ga citiram: "Uvijek sam vjerovao da se isplati ulagati u obrazovanje. Zato sam bez puno razmisljanja ulozio xyz $ u obrazovanje o decenetraliziranim financijama koje vodi lik od 28 godina iz koreje. Ubrzani tečaj!"



Pitanje je da li postoji 10 top projekata u kriptu, koji zaista rijesavaju neki stvaran problem. Evo uzmimo Cardano, to je kao "top projekt" a u biti je kurac od ovce i cisti hype kakvih ima jos. Kad ne znas sta ces, napravis projekt na Cardanu i pokupis lovu (afaik 10 milijuna usd) od njihove sekte, kao sto je napravio onaj nas bezvezni i besmisleni projekt Revuto. Doduse, ja nisam ljubitelj altova i ne pratim ih previse tako da moguce grijesim i da ih fakat ima.

Ma to sto je LUNA bila u top 10 moze znaciti nesto samo pocetnicima koji gledaju takve stvari kad odlucuju sta kupiti. Ima u top 10 jos altcoina koje ne bi taknuo izoliranim staopm a ne da mi budu glavnina portoflija. Ono kuzim da netko uleti u LUNU sa nesto love pa onda kasnije profit prebaci u bitcoin  ili sta vec, ali imati to kao glavni hodl je teska kocka.



Naravno, 20% APY na stablecoin mi govori sve sto trebam znati o nekom projektu. Znaci teska navlakusa, ali fala Bogu cryptu ne fali pohlepne i neinformirane ekipe tako da nije cudo da je tamo navodno bilo lockano vise od 70% UST sto je nevjerojatna cifra.

@Halab addressed that yesterday and it seems like there are no official rules or policy regarding plagiarism.


I think that some middle ground approach is needed here; giving perma ban for the first offense is too much imho and temporary ban (or even better longer signature ban) would make more sense and then perma for the 2nd as they can't claim that they didn't know about the rules.

Ista stvar ovdje, imao sam dojam kao da smo se vratili u 2018, tolika razina panika je bila. I to cesto od ljudi za koje znam da su 5-6 godina u kriptu tako da su vec trebali oguglati na ta sranja. Doduse, onima kojima je vecina portfolija bila u LUNI/UST i je bio sudnji dan. Iako, ne mogu razumjeti nekoga kome je takav nekakvi bezvezni alt glavni hodl,osim ako je bas pocetnik.


Upravo to, po meni to i nije neka diversifikacija ako ulazes u neke altcoine kad bitcoin i dalje diktira trendove. A sto se tice lekcija, ja sam jos 2018 prodao sa lossom sve altove osim ETH i presao u BTC. Istina, nisam tokom ovog bull runa zaradio kao neki koji su bili vise izlozeni altovima, ali sam bolje spavao nego prosli bull run, ne misleci dal cu uspjeti prodati altove na topu ili ne.

Seeing how inactive bitcointalk Discord server is, maybe it would make more sense to have pizza contest here on the forum as more people would probably participate.

I don't know how religion can help with bitcoin adoption since bitcoin credo is "don't trust, verify", while religions operate on the opposite, they ask you to trust without verifying anything.


Maybe promotion of that useless shitcoin Zuga Coin?

I beg to disagree and that's one of the most common mistakes, hodling altcoin for the longer period of time (especially during bear market) hoping that one day they will be in the profit. In reality, majority of them end up being bagholders of worthless shitcoins.

The right course of action in the vast majority of cases is to sell altcoins with the loss but many don't have the guts to do it and they end up in a much bigger loss eventually.

DeFi  is like a playground for all those smart people that can find flaws in their "inventive" mechanisms and instead taking this as a constructive criticism, cocky bullshitter easily dismissed it.



He said a  lot of bs on twitter, but the biggest one is when he was trying to calm the people down just in order to dump on them his worthless shitcoin. I do feel sorry for all people that lost money in this, but some were so greedy that even after shit hit the fan, they tried to profit from it and got seriously rekt in the process, like the guy in the screenshot below who converted all his BTC to LUNA. All in all, good riddance.

 

Hah, you are not the only one who had no clue really about Terra and all of their shenanigans. I started following the situation closely few days ago after shit hit the fan mostly due couple of my friends who lost decent amount of money in this clusterfuck.

Whole that stablecoin mechanism aside, they were giving 20% APY on UST via their defi platform Anchor and that's all really you had to know about this. It simply couldn't end up well.



Same thing here, I also seized the opportunity and bought myself some bitcoin at a hefty discount.

It would be great if you could test VPNs ( well at least those that are into recommended category) with the most popular streaming sites, especially Amazon as for some reason majority of VPN providers have the most issues with them. Its the same thing with the one I am currently using, Mullvad that also doesn't work with Amazon.
