3421  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Philosophical question for some about publicly tradded exchnafges vs private on: May 18, 2022, 09:10:58 AM
Do you think you are more comfortable using a publicly listed exchange like Coinbase where you know somewhat how they are doing financially or a privately held one like Gemini where if there are financial issues you may not know untill it's too late? Now let me be clear I am NOT saying there is an issue with Gemini, I think they are solid financially. Just using them as example, because well, we don't know.
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.

Deči, fascinantno je kako se rugate Buffetu, a doslovno svaki član Satoshi sheme pokazuje da je Buffet u pravu. Jer, da je Bitcoin resurs koji postoji, resurs koji se rudari, onda bi holderi od njega imali koristi. No, nikakav takav resurs ne postoji u shemi i zato su holderima potrebni novi investitori da im korist tj. resurse donesu. Ako bi se sad zaustavio priljev tih investitora ostale bi vam samo te jedinice Satoshijevog zamišljenog broja (21 milijun) koje su atribuirane online adresama i od kojih ne bi imali apsolutno nikakve koristi. Na što je onda utrošena sva ona silna energija? Koji resurs se to izrudario ako niti jedan holder od toga ne može imati korist i treba dobrovoljni ulazak novog investitora da ga izbavi? Pa ništa. Ništa nije izrudareno. Sve što se događa u shemi je atribucija jedinica zamišljenog broja nakon uloga struje i drugih resursa. Ergo, uplata resursa u shemu bez resursa. Školska definicija investicijske prevare. Ono, anonimni lik izmisli broj, napravi protokol i sustav koji jedinice tog broja atribuira adresama na internetu, i ljudi zbog te atribucije daju svoje vrijedne ekonomske resurse. I onda se ti isti ljudi smiju Buffetu. Ludilo.

Well, I think I can start a thread on the Italian board trying to start a new tradition.
Not a bad idea. You don't plan to join Discord pizza contest?


contest suggestions in general channel . .  .all I came up is pizza eating.  Grin
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



You have real tradition of making bitcoin pizzas in last few years, and if I remember correctly you won some prizes before... so don't invite Italian competition.
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.  Smiley
3424  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk Party - Discord server on: May 17, 2022, 01:50:28 PM
Think in the forum we would have had some pizzas more Cool
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.



As only 4 days are left pre-heating our ovens/microwave and having some pizza designing is on the go for many  Grin.
Using microwave to bake pizza? Blasphemy! Grin

Terra je bila jedan od najboljih ekosistema a Luna je bila super projekt. Ne možemo se ograditi samo na BTC i ETH, osim toga i ETH je imao fork - je li i on onda sranje?
Ne smatram ETH shitcoinom (i imam ga u portfoliju) ali mi nikada ne bi bio glavni hodl (niti blizu toga) jer ima svoje probleme.


Ne volim ta pljuvanja po svemu čisto pljuvanja radi - ono što su oni uspjeli napraviti s UST-om je zaista revolucionarno i bez obzira na ogroman fail koji je na kraju proizašao iz toga UST je dugoročno gledano bitniji za razvoj kripto svijeta i zajednice od hrpetine drugih projekata.
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!"



Ako Luna nije bila top projekt, volio bih čuti kojih to 10 drugih je.
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.
3426  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Novosti on: May 17, 2022, 07:02:29 AM
A ne možeš reći da je LUNA bila tamo neki bezvezni altcoin. Ipak je to projekt koji je bio u top 10 po market capu. Možemo sad raspravljati je li tehnologija koju koristi bezvezna ili ne ali činjenica je da je bila u top 10 i to je sigurno nekim ulagačima dalo nekakvu sigurnost. Zbog toga je jako puno ljudi i izgubilo novac.
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.



Moje iskustvo s LUNA-om je bilo da sam koristio Anchor. Stavio sam nešto UST-a tamo ali nisam bio miran s 20% APY jer mi je izgledalo nerealno visoko tako da sam nakon par dana povukao lovu i prebacio u nešto drugo.
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.
3427  Other / Meta / Re: What happened to the forum plagiarism rules? on: May 17, 2022, 06:47:21 AM
Wouldn't it make more sense for one of the mods to come out and address the latest plagiarism rules rather than leaving us with so many assumptions over the last few months?
@Halab addressed that yesterday and it seems like there are no official rules or policy regarding plagiarism.

What I can say is that there is no official policy change for plagiarism cases... because there are no official rules for plagiarism. It's case by case. Often I find reporters are very strict, you cross outside the crosswalk, you go to jail !! You have to judge on several factors : did it happen once ? Is it an honest omission ? Does he really take ownership of the copied text ? Etc...

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.

Pratim neke domaće kripto grupe na društvenim mrežama, i tamo je zavlada takva panika i očaj zbog pada nekih altcoina da se čini kao da je došao sudnji dan.
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.


Ja sam svoju lekciju naučio 2018, kada sam dosta svoje btc zarade prebacio u altcoine i izgubio.
Tada sam shvatio da prava diversifikacija ne znači sve uložiti u kripto već da treba naći i dobre nekripto projekte koji također imaju veliki potencijal povrata od 20x i više, a ima ih naravno.
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.

Pizza Day is coming. . .
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.
3430  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Digital currency , cashless Society and the place of Religion part 2 on: May 16, 2022, 10:56:29 AM
The place of religion in making sure members , both old and young accept Bitcoin as part of the vision 2020 cashless economy is essential.
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.


What is the Essence of this Post?
Maybe promotion of that useless shitcoin Zuga Coin?

3431  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is diversification into different coins really a good advice for Newbies? on: May 16, 2022, 09:00:07 AM
Altcoins can recover much faster to Bitcoin. This can immediately compensate the lose during the bear season if user just hold until the point that they are on profit.
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.

This is what I like in crypto: imagination is the only limit: if you can think it, it will happen sooner or later.
Finding 1B capital could be the most difficult part for most, but if the plan is well organized, then the funds will come.
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.



I saw an interview with him where he said 95% of coins will die and it's also entertaining to see some projects die. I have also checked his tweet and most of them show his ego and pride. Somewhere he was threatening other's projects by saying he will destroy them and in someplace he says he love chaos. That man is a lunatic a he gets what he deserves.
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.

 
3433  Economy / Economics / Re: Is TERRA/Luna kickstarting a new Bitcoin Standard? on: May 13, 2022, 09:46:29 PM
I just saw an interesting tweet from November 2021 in which one user explained how its possible to break Terra and make shit load of money in the process and all you need to do it is 1 billion usd. And of course having "detailed understanding of the Terra Ecosystem". Do Kwon reaction aged well.
Jesus, you all are probably going to think I'm an order of magnitude more retarded than usual, but I'm just now learning what UST is and its relationship to Luna and whatever else....I know I don't follow a lot of altcoins, but it seems like this is a very big deal.  

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.



But hey, I had some cash yesterday and bought a little BTC at my local gas station BTCATM.  Sucks for the crypto community as a whole, but I actually like to buy low.
Same thing here, I also seized the opportunity and bought myself some bitcoin at a hefty discount. Smiley

Well, you are right, I would like to bring more information about my favorite providers, so I may take some time to compare my favorite providers.
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.
3435  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Another signal why to avoid CEX.... on: May 13, 2022, 05:15:01 PM
Can someone enlighten me on this, we know that Binance has offered SAFU to their customers, do you think they can able to stand as what they've promised to their clients?
I wouldn't count on that and every time I send my money to Binance or any other centralized exchange I am well aware of the fact that it may be the last time I see them. Once shit hit the fan, its gonna be "free for all".


I don't understand Why anyone will want to buy coin on an exchange and willingly left them off guard on centralized exchange, this is not the first time such threats comes from centralized exchanges but the advices here are not working for them, until these guys keep holding them off from their life savings and later cry out on those who can't help them.
People do it for myriad of reasons, but most common one is that majority of people that are into crypto don't really care about whole that be your bank thing. I know a guy who is a veteran stock trader and naturally he invested in bitcoin, but instead simply buying it and storing it on his hardware wallet he invested in it via Grayscale. I explained to him several times how easy is to set his own cold storage and what kind of contingency plan he can set in case something happens to him, but he just doesn't want that responsibility. And we are talking about the guy who was senior developer in a big tech company before he quit to go full time stock trading and has no issues grasping bitcoin technicalities.
3436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Emirates Airline will use 'Bitcoin as a Payment Service' on: May 13, 2022, 02:36:07 PM
to be honest i don't see this as a positive news at all because it looks like they are trying to advertise themselves so that they can sell their NFT token and make as much money as they can.
So what if they are trying to advertise themselves and make more money, they are company that is focused on profit, not a charity organization and if fools want to buy NFTs, so be it. The important thing here is that they will accept bitcoin (most likely via 3rd party as majority of other businesses) so this is a good news nevertheless.


It could be that companies today are realizing that the fiat money they got from the services they provide is less valuable already due to inflation.
Its probably more about giving more options to their buyers as I doubt that they will accept bitcoin directly and store it.

I have to disagree with you on the bolded part of your last sentence, using myself as an example; I'm an active gambler who rarely participates in Games and Round sub-baord free competitions; not everyone wants to smear his posts history with some shite games and round worthless predictions contests, and I believe that's one of the reasons most users don't frequent that board except spammers looking for cheap cents.
So you think that those who are active in Games and round contests and competitions are somehow smearing their post history? That's a weird statement, to say the least. I understand someone simply not wanting to participate in those things, but that reason not really.

3438  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Novosti on: May 13, 2022, 09:45:49 AM
Ja neznam tko je to poceo siriti, ali uvijek se gledao (koliko ja znam) oko 9 mjeseci prije halvinga za najmanju cijenu, znam vremena se mjenjaju i moze biti svasta, ali da cijena u 5 ili ajmo reci u 6 mjeseci padne ovoliko od ath i onda govoriti da je ovo najbolje vrijeme za kupiti btc je uzas! Do iduceg halvinga ima 2 godine iliti 24 mjeseca, pa nemojte hebat ljude da u ta 24 mjeseca ili cak u 12 mjeseci cijena nece pasti na recimo 17-18k ili cak manje.
Pa naravno da BTC vrlo lako moze ici do 20k  i nize, ali to ne znaci da je lose sada krenuti kupovati bitcoin i onaj tko kupuje sada nije da uzima kad je cijena na all time high nego naprotiv, cijena je pala za cca 60% sto je dosta dobar popust. Naime, jako je tesko pogoditi sam bottom (treba vise srece nego pameti za to) tako da nema smisla cekati neku specificnu cifru i onda ici all in nego se umjesto toga odradi DCA.

Ja sam kupio solidnu kolicinu na 28k ali naravno nisam isao all in nego imam jos kapitala spremnog za dokupiti ako bitcoin padne na recimo 25k, pa onda jos uzmem ako dodje na 20k etc.

The majority of Sportbets.io, stake.com, Duebits, and Roobets sig participants are gamblers who actively use their services, and you can easily tell who is writing to fulfill their weekly post counts from who are actually core gamblers from their comments.
While I do think that Sportbets.io sig participants are genuine gambling board posters, I seriously doubt that majority of members in other campaigns are actively using their services. Not just that, I think that many don't even watch the sports that they are talking about and its not that hard to notice that if you know the subject well. The thing is, only the best paid campaigns can attract natural posters and that's why others have to set the gambling board post quota. If there is an abundance of gamblers here that wouldn't be the case. As an example of what I am talking about, you can take a look at Games and rounds child board and the lack of interest in competitions where participants actually have to bet/gamble using their own money.

Then again, gambling signature campaigns obviously work one way or another because companies wouldn't waste their money for years.

No it was deliberate destruction of a ponzi scheme.
Could be.


20% interest yeah how that work out. I would like to think it is a true story and luna/ust has been killed.
Since I don't trust shitty defi platform with my crypto and never really looked into them, I just found out yesterday that they actually offered 20% apy on UST via Anchor. That alone was a huge red flag and I have no idea how people could think that is sustainable.
