There's nothing wrong with someone losing interest in an online platform. People lose interest in things at different paces and for different reasons. However, one thing is for sure: the cryptocurrency market is growing, and forums like BitcoinTalk are still at the center of this market.
It's not just a loss of interest, but various life situations that simply force some members to change their lifestyle and redirect their time and energy elsewhere. The OP is thinking in a way that is wrong in the sense that someone created their account just to profit from the forum, and then suddenly abandoned that account. And at the same time, he does not take into account that not everyone is here exclusively for profit and that most of the accounts he mentions were created long before the merit system - which means that their owners did not have to invest in them anything more than their time. As for your thinking about this forum as some kind of crypto-currency center, I think that is not correct considering how many active members we have that give some value to the forum compared to all those bounty hunters who together are worth absolutely nothing. For the new generation, the concept of a forum is not something attractive, and that is why most of them spend their time on various social networks where, frankly speaking, they will not learn much and have a much higher chance of becoming victims of a scam. |

I honestly don't believe in deleting posts without leaving their duplicate/copies behind.
The trash should simply be deleted, but luckily for you, most of the posts you wrote were saved anyway, so this whole thread is completely pointless. ...In it, I gave conditions to work with anyone... part of which include respect of my beliefs, like belief in a CREATOR of the whole Universe/existence and Mankind. my future coworkers was meant to know that with the CREATOR nothing is impossible... Atleast this will help him/her stay strong when hard-to-believe things begin to happen when we work together as team. To cut this short, the post may have eventually been deleted, probably last year or early this year. I looked for it to share it with someone I was discussing a project with when he started saying things that shouldn't be uttered about my CREATOR and my faith. It will be nice if the post is restored because I intended to use it as part of my Terms and conditions for working with anyone. It was probably deleted as I could not find it when I needed it.
Please stop constantly mentioning the creator and your religious beliefs, because it has nothing to do with the forum or Bitcoin. I don't know what religion you are, but in Christianity, mentioning God's name in vain is a sin and one of God's commandments. If you want to discuss the creator of the universe and similar things, limit yourself to Serious discussion, Off-topic or Politics and Society. |

Sam Bankman-Fried has a degree in physics and a minor in mathematics...
What an irony in the fact that someone trusted a man named Bankman, and it is even more ironic that he managed to sell them his worthless token and with all his tricks managed to destroy the company in a very short time. Maybe he is one of those fanatics who, like Kwon, enjoy watching companies fail, and maybe they take even greater pleasure in destroying their own company. When I first saw that man, I thought it was some kind of joke - because to me he seemed quite incapable of keeping an ordinary chicken coop, let alone a crypto exchange. |

These breaches are just some as recent as two years.
Why only in the past 2 years, when we know that such things have been happening since 2012, and despite that, the majority have not yet learned any lesson from all this. I would say that crazy/suicidal moves are something that people do constantly, because they keep repeating the same things, which means that they are consciously harming themselves. There is an old saying that says "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."2022, November 12 FTX Unauthorized transactions $600 million

Considering the current situation with mempool, I can try to help you - just read OP regarding the minimum fee so that the transaction could be accelerated.

Who remembers what the circumstances were the last time CZ did the same thing - it seems to me that he also chose a moment that was not exactly the best? Regardless of the fact that it is the legitimate right of everyone to create as many transactions as they want, it could still be done in a less extreme way, and considering everything that has been happening in the last few days, what CZ is doing can certainly raise suspicions that it is not about ordinary consolidation, but trying to hide something or cause even greater panic. I found a similar topic from 2019 -> ~80 MB transactions with 1 s/b fee were just injected into the mempool |

Don't say you have to put your coins in your personal wallet or Dex. There you have someone you trust and breaking the trust. This is not good for cryptocurrency or what do you think about the trust broken?
I never trusted those people, so I can't say that they let me down in anything or that the trust was broken. Bitcoin was conceived as a decentralized system and everyone should use it that way, everything else is wrong and risky, which has been proven many times throughout the short history from 2009 to today. As a result of everything, it is easy to conclude that most people did not understand the essence of the existence of Bitcoin, but they understood that various shitcoins can be very profitable, especially when they are in a direct relationship with some people who position themselves as so-called crypto leaders whom people unreservedly trust. This whole industry is full of illusions of meaningfulness in false promises, which unfortunately many grasp as the last straw of salvation, but unfortunately they do not know that the foundations of this illusion are built on very shaky foundations, and that they are doomed to a complete collapse sooner or later. Unfortunately for all honorable and honest people who are in the world of cryptocurrencies, such events definitely send a very ugly and negative image to the public, who are wondering how all this is possible and why it is not regulated. |

I wonder what would have happened if Ledger hardware wallet company belongs to someone like Sam, just imagine, this type of man could have leave a backdoor in the whole hardware system and catered away with users' funds.
Who says the backdoor doesn't exist in the HW you mentioned, or maybe in another one you didn't mention? Although this HW is only partially closed source, so far it has not been shown that they have bad intentions, and I think they have been on the market for more than 6 years. Of course, this does not mean that you should completely trust them, as well as any other similar company that produces similar devices. In addition, imagine a situation where there really is a backdoor to that HW, and someone suddenly steals a huge amount of coins - I think the price of the entire market would collapse so quickly that the stolen coins would become worthless very quickly. |

To think about what would happen if they did not exist I think it is not worth spending much time because they will continue to exist, but I think that from now on it will be with much stricter regulations, and we will see what implications this has for the Bitcoin that I fear will be in line with what the EU has in mind: more KYC everywhere, even trying to force hardware wallets to implement it,
I have nothing against it, and I even agree that it should be much more strictly regulated who can run a CEX and what obligations they should have towards their clients. This would first of all mean that their funds (cryptocurrencies&fiat) should be 100% insured and that the company has the obligation to indemnify everyone in case of hacking or any other event for which it is responsible. Ordinary people should not be any victims of irresponsible actions of greedy and irresponsible individuals, and even if someone manages to implement some super strict measures for individual users, it means absolutely nothing in the sense that some new Mt.Gox, Quadriga, or FTX will not happen again. |

@mnetbih, If you've been doing it for 20 years, then you should have already learned that without good advertising and marketing, and SEO optimization, you can't expect any significant results. Your local market is certainly not a place where you can expect high-roller players from whom you could earn something through the referral system, so you have to reach richer markets like the US, UK, and Western Europe.
Read my previous post again (especially the second part), and try to be more active on the forum. In addition to the fact that you can learn a lot, I am sure that as an active member you will also have some opportunity to earn money in one way or another, although don't think that it will happen overnight.

It was defiantly CZ tweet that caused that massive pump yesterday. I saw the huge move and then checked Twitter and in that exact moment he tweeted.
I don't know what kind of massive pump you are talking about, so the price changed only 1% or maybe slightly above that - and someone calls it a pump  Who is then responsible for the pump that happened on November 10 when we had a price increase from $15.7k to $18k? Did CZ burp after a hearty breakfast, or did Mr. Mars fart, was it some kind of el efecto mariposa?  |

@ShakilTaj, faucets are not something that you will earn from (some significant amount) as an ordinary user, unless you are successful in promoting your ref links, although some faucets do not even pay anything for the referrals you bring them. Another way is to become a faucet owner, but to build something popular and successful, you would need a lot of time and money.
Good luck with the claims, I hope the rewards have at least increased a little after the BTC price drop.

As far as I know, Mt.Gox is no longer accepting requests for compensation and they are now supposedly in the process of final preparations for payouts. Maybe there is another way that I don't know about, but it seems to me that Mt.Gox is a dead end and a done deal.
I have my wallets password of my computer. But my broken computer was in my family house and mum puts in the computer in dustbin. I hand no idea that I could have restore the data from the hard drive. I now live in abroad. I don't know how to import my wallet in my new computer.
If the computer ended up in the trash together with the hard drive on which the wallet files were located, then you have nothing, and no passwords or anything else will help you. If by any chance you have that hard drive, then you can try to save the data, and whether you want to do it yourself or seek the help of professionals who deal with it is something you have to decide. |

I hope it goes down even more, how happy I am every time I will be able to get some btc at a fair price.
If you hope enough and if you think that God has something to do with it, then you will certainly get the opportunity to buy at a fair price, but only if you pray for it every day for at least 5 hours until your wish comes true  It is unbelievable that someone wants an even lower price considering that the last ATH was even $69k, and today we have prices in the range of $15k - pure greed and nothing more than that. |

It's incredible how people think and what they see as the reasons why the price changed by 1% and they still define it as a pump  If CZ and Mr. Mars published some apocalyptic statement today, would that mean that Bitcoin would die (again) and panic would reign? Saving projects that are otherwise strong is one of the biggest stupid things I've read, but if it makes sense to someone, be happy because the great savior has spoken to you with words of comfort. |

Given recent increases in shipping expenses, it makes sense for europe to turn to locally produced defense contractors to avoid the increased expense of having vehicles and equipment shipped overseas from america's distant shores.
Do you consider South Korea a local producer when it comes to the EU? The shortest route between Warsaw and Seoul is just under 5000 km, while the shortest route between Warsaw and Washington would be around 7000 km, and there really is a difference, but still not so much that it would be a reason for Poland or another EU country to start cooperating with South Korea just for that reason. The reason why some EU countries turn to alternative sources is that the US can hardly keep up with the demand coming from Ukraine, and at the same time ensure that it does not damage its military reserves and threaten national security. Therefore, if the US cannot deliver, why should they be angry that countries like Poland buy from other sources, which are also their allies? In addition, it was the US that insisted that all NATO members invest at least 2% of their GDP in defense, and the war obviously opened the eyes of some countries that they had to do something about it. |

Hello, is there a way for us who are immobile (disabled in legs) to earn 5-10$ a day, with some kind of bitcoin strategy without big investments. If anyone knows, write in the inbox. Thank you for your cooperation, and I wish everyone a lot of success!
Trading with cryptocurrencies is extremely risky, and when you add to that that you have very limited capital, I think that for now you should not go in that direction. This also applies to all other seemingly promising methods that you can find online, but they are mostly scams and a waste of time. Considering that you have (I assume) a lot of free time, I would recommend you to get involved in the forum a little more seriously, to start with researching the forum and reading what interests you. Maybe you have some skills that you can offer, and with time, as an active member, you can get the opportunity to join a signature campaign, which would help you earn something along with learning and your own contribution to the forum. |

In November 2022, another unforgettable moment, Changpeng Zhao of Binance became the first hero to blow the whistle. FTT thunderstorm, who will be next?
Does it even matter who will be next? Any of the large and mid-sized CEXs that find themselves in serious trouble will cause disruptions in the crypto market. And I don't know why you call CZ a hero? Maybe because he was only apparently trying to save the company that started to sink, but in fact at the same time he was just cutting ties with it so that there would be as little damage as possible for his company. Apart from that, is there anything serious about someone doing due diligence in 24 hours and saying that he changed his mind because the results are not satisfactory? Such things last for weeks or months and are not carried out in one day, so I would conclude that it is one thing to play the hero, and quite another to be the hero. |

How do you expect me to know that others have created this type of topic already? After getting the information on Twitter I quickly rush on here to post this. Sigh!
You can use the forum search option, or just look in the Bitcoin discussion board/Exchanges board or any other board - what do you think if everyone acted exactly the way you do? Don't get me wrong, your intention is good, but considering that we already have dozens of discussions on the same topic, this one was not necessary. |

The market seems to be in turmoil and the whole narrative of "Bitcoin is dead" thing is taking place. For me, this is probably one of the best signs to buy. The thing is, I do think that this support is most likely to not hold and we risk seeing a further drop to around 10K which is what I think is a great entry point.
Why not under $10k or maybe closer to $1000? It seems that the pessimism and greed of bitcoiners themselves will do even more damage than various geniuses who played the role of great CEOs, and in the end turned out to be incompetent kids. Many people apparently forget that the low price is not only an encouragement to buy, but also a reason for pessimism and negativity that spreads like a virus in yet another story that Bitcoin is actually just another in a series of internet ponzi schemes. |
