I already applied last time but may have been overlooked.

Can I take the position?

SEC just rejected the #Bitcoin ETF application by WisdomTree



Merry Christmas.

Im just telling him how universities do it. First year students learn C first to understand the basics of programming (which they can later apply to almost any programming languages) and then they learn Java for basics on object-oriented programming. So that way its less about getting straight into blockchain but rather first getting into the groundwork of programming. I just think the university approach is more practical because that way, you don't stumble and crash with a long and time-consuming "learning-from-your-mistakes approach" with things you should have learned at the beginning. Its just more efficient.

120k For an entire mansion? Which country do you come from, may I ask? I cannot imagine anyone even building a mansion for a mere 120k... Just the building expenses alone would (should) cost more than that. And then you would need to buy furniture, kitchen, and stuff... Even in the deepest part of the third world that seems too low a price to me. But perhaps you are thinking of a big house, not a mansion?

Bitcoin is definitely the real money. Because it's real anonymity and real freedom! Banks will be a thing of the past. Now with the newest taproot update, if Bitcoin can go fully Decentralised Finance then that would be so amazing. Because that would mean that the governments lose all the control over trading and fund supervision that they currently have (over centralized exchanges, which all demand KYC). The Banks and all the governments are losing control and all the regulations they have put into place are starting to crumble. Money will finally be by the people and for the people. No more middlemen, no more corrupt regulation.

From my own personal experience throughout the years, investing long term is waaaay better than trading. I know a lot of people think of compounding percentages and technical analysis when considering trading, however they are deluding themselves. Compounding percentages go both ways, if you make a loss, it will be harder to make a profit with which you regain your loss. And technical analysis is basically bs. Nobody can see the future or what is going to happen. So trading is basically gambling with the hope that you discover a "pattern" which helps you predict something.

Well, even if you were to ignore the fact that ETH is at the second highest market volume in crypto, the developers of Ethereum still have not been able to satisfy the need to lower gas fees and make Ethereum more scalable. They keep saying its being implemented slowly, but they should have been able to do something by now. The fees are outragous and this makes their blockchain completely unusable. We already have better alternatives. In my view, ETH is dying out.

Amazing list! It worries me that DEFI can be so easily hacked and that it happens so very very often... The thing that bothers me most is the disgusting bounty haggling from Fullcrum. They saved their 2.5 Million dollars and don't even get paid for their efforts. What kind of move is that? Fullcrum? More like Fullscum. I would keep away from doing business with them.

That being said, thanks for this list. Im sure it will be very helpful for future Defi.

Why would you want to use a third party for that? I think simply showing people your BTC address is more than enough. You could also implement a QR code for a simpler way to send tips. Most websites use a simple address text at the bottom of their web page and that seems to do the trick. However, I would be careful about hackers who try to hack into your page to change the address or by ddosing your web page and luring people unto a fake clone page while your page is down.

I think you might find better answers with more technical analysis and detailed explainations if you were to post a topic like this in altcoin speculation, or better yet, Bitcoin speculation (since altcoins seem to follow the main actor, Bitcoin). That being said, I think the weekly is not looking too good. Last week ended with an overshadowing of a large red candle, which indicated to me that the dip isn't over.

The Binance Smart Chain and it's native coin, BNB, have replaced Ethereum because its very similiar except for the fact that the transaction fees are much much much lower. But that being said, BNB is not actually fully decentralised. It has 21 validators and is considered semi-decentralised. I would keep an eye on SOL, as it is growing fast with a lot of promise. ADA has been around for a while and still has not really been able to overthrow ETH as the "new ETH".

^THIS!

Its a pump and dump! DO NOT FALL FOR IT! Someone, perhaps the developers themselves, are trying to use the whole omicron situation for themselves to lure newbies into buying a coin which probably nobody would buy otherwise. Whenever you see a project pump like this, its almost always an artificial fake pump which will follow with a dump in the near future. People who buy into it almost always lose their money.

I would say start with C as your first language then move up to Java. This is how they learn it at every University in my country in courses that have something to do with computer science (or pure computer science). The basics they start you off with is using a Virtual Machine with Ubuntu to start off understanding the basics on a deeper level. I am currently using Oracle VM Virtualbox with an installed Ubuntu VM and basically just using the vim, debugger, compiler and makefiles.

But then again I am just telling you how they do it for first semesters at university. I am no expert. Just starting out.

As far as I can tell, Solana is doing very well and may become the new Ethereum. I know that has been said before for many new projects but lets face the facts - Ethereum will either die out because it has not resolved its issues or it will eventually resolve its issues but by then, we will have better alternatives. The latest dump is an expected correction and drags down Bitcoin as well as every Altcoin with it. So you might want to wait until the dump is over until you decide to invest into something like Solana.

But is it still bullish? Oh yeah. Its ecosystem is growing steadily. Thats a good sign.

From what history tells us, you can always expect China to bluff and lie with their words and actions. In my eyes, China will spread misinformation if it serves their purpose and China will never miss an opportunity to make a profit, no matter how immoral or self destructive it may be. Communism is just a lie for the chinese ruling elite to stay at the top.  Xi Jinping accuses all of his political enemies of unproven corruption so he can stay on the top. If we let them influence us then they will treat us the same way as they do their own people. Forced organ harvesting(of innocent people who are put to death on fake charges), concentration camps and of course, they will force you to sign your business over to them. This is the price of cheap outsourced labor - Slavery.  

Bitcoin is something that could save the chinese people from this because the chinese government would no longer have control over their people's wealth. I think this is one of the biggest reasons why China has created the "great firewall". They know the outside internet is a danger to their system of domination. Their government will crumble sooner or later by the hands of their own people.

China is basically a rich North Korea.

Ah yes. The bursting of the "bubble". You realise its just a FUD meme that has been proven wrong time and time again? Bitcoin is NOT a bubble nor will it ever be one. Yes, there will be corrections and dips and sometimes, due to compounding bad news, we might even see a downward slope which seems to last forever. But Bitcoin is a deflationary currency which will always overtake it's last ATH.

In Bitcoin we trust.

I think if you're looking for tips on the best ways to invest your money then you should be expecting bias towards cryptocurrency on Bitcointalk. It's obvious that everyone here has either invested time or money into cryptocurrency with either a lot of thought or just because they may have seen a meme about Bitcoin sometime on social media. Basically Bitcointalk not the right place to talk about the diverse investment opportunities.

I remember my "gambling" stash getting liquidated during the same time as mindrust losing his corn. But 10 BTC? Thats gotta hurt. Especially now.

I prefer Trust Wallet for Binance Smart Chain because it's low fee, has an integrated swap and dex. I prefer using the swap because it's cheaper due to the fact that it has the 1inch protocol integrated into it. (1inch is an aggregator which searches for the best prices by liquidity of different swaps like Uniswap, Pancakeswap, and more)

But its mostly for the BSC/ETH chains. I have yet to find a better alternative for cross chain trading. If anyone knows of a better way to swap multiple crypto, please do tell me as a reply
