Warning: this is an alt of a banned account, trade at your own risk.

Its highly unlikely it belongs to its previous owner, who used it to run an ICO scam. Either way, I certainly wouldn't trust money with them. A story told in 3 pngs, in reverse chronological order:

Here's another person who, in my opinion, should not be on the DT2 list. And although my vote doesn't solve anything at the moment, I decided to use the tilde. I have no complaints about this person, and in this particular case, the use of the tilde is not related to trade issues, but is related to the judgment of this person.

Code:
~bubbalex

bubbalex's judgement is Trusted by:

You've listed the users he is "trusted by" -- not users he has trusted (added to his trust list). So if you want to judge the judgment of this person then you'll need to do it by something else... preferably his own trust list or trust ratings.

As we all know the creator of the main ANN thread has been famously banned multiple times in the last couple years, yet the account remains active...

Then there is a guy who gets paid to copy/paste Coingeek articles and BSV announcements in that thread -- he's also been banned for plagiarism in the past.

And then there's a few trolls that are somewhere in between genuine forum user and crazed goon (an unpaid intern kind of goon).

So be it.

The next best thing to do is for high-ranking accounts to avoid commenting in the thread whatsoever. The accounts persistently commenting in the thread have only a handful of merits between them and hardly any bumping power. If everybody else refrained from commenting there, it would gradually fall into obscurity where it belongs.

I think that's the responsible thing to do for anyone who wants to minimize them without cutting them out completely. Just let them habitate their space here with their feverish walls of text and let them out themselves as the dishonest fools that they are...

I was just saved. I was going to transfer $100  Undecided. How do I post this long email conversation I had with a person claiming to be you so that newbees like me look at it and are saved from this scam.

Make a screenshot of it and upload it to something like imgur. Alternatively you can just copy/paste your chatlog here if you want.



<---- I had to put this as my personal text a few weeks ago

I was also contacted by someone claiming to be TomatoCage.

What a dumbass. Tomatocage hasn't been an escrow here in years.

Glad to hear you didn't get scammed. Never do business with someone off-forum before confirming they are who they say they are on-forum. Even then, it's always at least somewhat risky.
3525  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: [WTB] Bitcoins anonymously on: January 23, 2021, 03:31:44 AM
Hi nutildah, Just wanted to make sure you contacted me directly via email, so that I can go forward with the transaction. I tried sending you a PM but you do not accept it from newbees, hence posting it here. Sorry if it caused inconvenience but I have to make sure it is you before I do a transaction.

Thanks.

Whoa whoa... I'm not doing a deal with you. Someone is trying to scam you. Don't send anything to anyone using my name.

I’ll admit that I believe a lot of the Q related conspiratorial beliefs have a lot of truth in them.. It has done a lot to redpill many people..

If everything Q said was a lie (which it was -- not a single one of his predictions came true), then was it actually a red pill you were swallowing? Or was it something closer to fecal material in a red capsule? You badly want to believe it was a red pill and not feces as its pretty embarrassing to be caught mistaking the two. Pretty much like somebody who was told they just ingested a lot of alcohol and begin to act accordingly, when in fact they were being served non-alcoholic beverages the whole time.

What "happened to Trump" was that he lost the election, by several million votes and several dozen electoral college votes. That happened. It's not incredibly surprising because he lost the popular vote by close to 3 million votes in 2016, and during his years in office he revealed himself as the wildly incompetent, self-serving schmuck everybody who can be honest for half a second knows that he is.

You want to believe in an alternate universe where facts and evidence don't matter, be my guest. If you start piping bullshit in here from 4chan or whatever bowels of lowest common denominator groupthink message boards you ascribe to, I'm gonna call it out for what it is.
3527  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Joe Biden is President of the United States of America on: January 22, 2021, 10:06:29 PM

We all know he signed some blank papers nothing can show


How can you keep falling for this garbage? You keep taking the bait over and over again. Are you incapable of performing any sort of introspection? You might want to stop and think about what it is that you, yourself, actually believe in -- and see if you can separate your own individuality from the conspiracy groupthink that seems to permeate your every waking thought.

Calling you stupid is an understatement. You are way more than that.
Where are the high ranking accounts you used to boost about? Looks like all of them went down the drain  Grin

Pretty much. He's been doing this here for at least 4 years and he gets caught all the time. Every once and a while he'll get a few merits, get busted, and then complain about how unfair DT is in Meta, like clockwork. He's also been banned multiple times. His lack of awareness of the limitations of his English make his accounts easy to spot. It's almost like he doesn't care, except he does -- we can tell by his temper tantrums after he gets busted.

People hating on Biden over bitcoin are dumb brainwashed.

ftfy

That's fair, though there's a decent deal of overlap between the two.

Don't know if today will be the bottom, but it was surely peak FUD. They threw everything at it.

... local FUD peak. Deep State hates bitcoin because commie dreams are founded on fake fiat commie money. "Biden bans Bitcoin" is our FUD future as far as the eye can see. "Commie China ban bitcoin", what's the diff commie Biden or commie China ban? Sad commie bitcoiners need to own it, instead of drooling over press secretaries (wtf?) in their deluded fake kumbaya commie reality

... bitcoin peaked around Jan. 6 (commie Biden admin confirmed in commie Congress), coincidence?

Why not just change every word in your sentence to "commie"? I don't think the term has been played out enough since the 1980s.

So, are you going to address the fact that you've been absolutely wrong about everything you've said here for the last 2 months, or nah?

... just wondering what happens to bitcoin in a scenario where USA goes into martial law and Trump starts rounding up perpetrators of election fraud?

He has the power, some would say the constitutional duty, to protect USA against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=720O_yBLrTs

... I think it's coming. Prepare yourselves for a step increase in crazy times.

Wrong. None of that happened.

PPS: i'm an outside observer, no dog in the game, you might want to look a little closer, your country is in a constitutional crisis and the MSM are totally quiet on it ...

Wrong. There was no constitutional crisis. Just a band of confused shitheads who broke their way into congress; half of which are now in jail or soon to be in jail.

I totally agree, time to bring the hammer down and start deleting some of this commie propaganda.

Wrong as fuck.

USA is being gas-lighted into a CCP-approved dictatorship ...

Wrong.

... you're being lied to and set-up for a communist dictatorship, it's clear as day. Take it from me, you've eaten the bait, hook, line and sinker.

Wrong.

"First they came for the Trumpists and I said nothing .... "

... if history is any guide this has a long way to run, authoritarian statists never give up power without bloodshed. The level of hate and vitriol being whipped up on both sides looks like it's being manufactured  ...

Wrong.

All must not be well inside the Pentagon either ...

Wrong!


Well done marcus. You've exhibited that the power of American political propaganda is so great that it can brainwash even non-Americans into rooting for a candidate.
3531  Other / Politics & Society / Re: ‘We really are the cucks': QAnon adrift after Trump ‘fails to ascend as God Empe on: January 22, 2021, 12:13:29 AM
It's easy to be cynical and say that these QAnon people are stupid and/or evil to the core and will just fall for some other con, but I think (and hope) that at least a lot of them actually will wake up to the fact that they've been conned, and they'll be better people for it. If you ever interact with these people, please be kind to them. If you treat them as untouchables, then that will just further entrench them in their beliefs.

I disagree, theymos. We tried being understanding already and that clearly didn't work. These people absolutely deserve to be stared at and ridiculed like the dumbasses they are, everywhere they go. Pretending there is anything moderately reasonable about their belief system would be a travesty as it normalizes their bullshit behavior.

Trump's election was a symptom of underlying problems that need to be addressed; mainly wealth inequality is rising at ever-increasing rates, and life is getting harder for the average U.S. citizen despite the fact that this is the wealthiest nation in the history of the planet... and this has a side effect of making people more mentally or emotionally susceptible to believing in whackjob conspiracies because it gives them an enemy to fight against, however invisible or fictional it may be.

But rather than working together to actually attempt to change the system, we fight among ourselves, ignoring the actual problems, to me the biggest of which is lobbyists and corporate influence in politics. It's a cross-aisle problem... let's start with fixing that before we try to tackle the imaginary satanist pedophile rings mmmmkay? Is that too much to ask going forward?

Here's an instruction guide for how to handle QAnoners who won't give up:

That's great news. I hope he has a talk with Janet Yellen and straightens her out as well.

Yellen isn't off to as bad a start as Crypto Twitter might have you think. Released just yesterday:


Dr. Yellen, what do you view as the potential threats and benefits these innovations and
technologies will have on U.S. national security? Do you think more needs to be done to ensure
we have appropriate safeguards and regulations for digital and cryptocurrencies in place?


Answer: I think it important we consider the benefits of cryptocurrencies and other digital
assets, and the potential they have to improve the efficiency of the financial system. At the
same time, we know they can be used to finance terrorism, facilitate money laundering, and
support malign activities that threaten U.S. national security interests and the integrity of
the U.S. and international financial systems. I think we need to look closely at how to
encourage their use for legitimate activities while curtailing their use for malign and illegal
activities. If confirmed, I intend to work closely with the Federal Reserve Board and the
other federal banking and securities regulators on how to implement an effective regulatory
framework for these and other fintech innovations.

‘We really are the cucks’: QAnon adrift after Trump ‘fails to ascend as God Emperor'



Supporters of the unhinged QAnon conspiracy theories were soul searching on Wednesday after Joe Biden became president of the United States without being arrested in "the storm" allegedly predicted.

"I'm the laughing stock of my family," one conspiracy theorist lamented.

Vice News reported more under the headline, "Trump Fails to Ascend as God Emperor, Leaving Diehard Fans Adrift."

"As new President Joseph R. Biden took his oath of office, his hand atop a massive family Bible, confusion, anger, and grief washed over some of the worst corners of the Internet," Vice reported. "Refugees from the QAnon conspiracy subreddit, now huddled together on a new website, took turns assuring each other that everything they were seeing was all part of the unfolding of the grand Plan they'd spent years breathlessly awaiting. 'I HAVE ZERO DOUBTS,' one wrote. But others weren't so sure. 'WTF?,' another wrote. 'He's being sworn in now.'"

"In the weeks leading up to Biden's inauguration, the worst elements of Trump's coalition— Nazis, white supremacists, Q-mesmerized "patriots," Proud Boys, Telegram lurkers, and all-purpose far-right sh*tlords—managed to hold out hope. On one website for Trump fans banished from Reddit, TheDonald.win, many users had assured one another that not only would Biden never take office, but that Trump, naturally, would never leave it," Vice explained. "Instead, they claimed to each other—in a refrain that was once ironic and seemed less so all the time—that he would ascend to the role of 'God Emperor.' On the morning of January 20, QAnon fans urged each other to 'Enjoy the show,' dotting their posts with popcorn emojis, meant to symbolize all of them sitting back and watching Armageddon rain down on the Satanic cabal they'd been led to believe rules the world."


"This is a bizarre, dangerous, and volatile moment for Trump's most impassioned and hateful fans. They have been forced to recognize that the glorious reckoning they dreamed of would not come to pass, that Trump would not and will not usher in either—take your pick—God's kingdom on earth or a white ethnostate. And in that moment, these people are vulnerable to any new bad idea that comes along," Vice noted.


"One of the pinned tweets on a large QAnon forum reminds Q adherents that it's important to 'take care of your mental health today.' A great majority of the users on the site seem despondent and directionless. At least one group, the Proud Boys, has seized upon the void Trump's departure has left in his followers' lives," Vice reported. "On one of their official channels on Telegram they tell Trump fans 'here is hope. Not for Trump to become president, but there is hope for our future. Abandon the GOP. Embrace the ultranationalist 3rd position.'"

Trump is also reportedly considering starting a new "Patriot Party" to compete against the GOP.

Doesn't it get tiring to have to remain beholden to such an outdated and meaningless belief system?
3537  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 21, 2021, 12:37:57 AM
New POTUS liked by establishment. Dollar goes up. Bitcoin goes down. (a bit)

These guys are not like us. They're in it for the dollars and couldn't care less about BTC.

So nothing has changed in that regard.

Don't forget to factor that the price of corn is still up 50% in the last 30 days and 280% in the last 4 months.

Just to clarify, what’s the normal circumstances a person will be deemed deny into airport?

As long as you have a ticket, valid ID, no bombs or drugs in your bags and you're not on the no fly list, you shouldn't have a problem.

I’m sure being barred from flying doesn’t stop people from going abroad, time to make a drone and fly without an airport?

I'd be more inclined to pay off a captain and stow away on a barge headed somewhere off-continent.

I sell comics and I recently sold comics in exchange for Visa/Master Debit Cards (about $300). I got codes and I have checked them on the redemption site to see if they are legit and they all have balances in it.

What I didn't realize is everywhere I wanted to buy Bitcoins using Debit cards, I am asked to show myself holding a verification card.

Where's the anonymity in that?

Do you folks know of a service that will allow me to convert my Debit card balances into bitcoin/ETH without an ID or without the need to compromise on my Privacy?

Thanks!

Last I heard shapeshift.com still allows you to purchase a certain amount of BTC w/o having to perform any sort of personal ID verification. Not sure if Binance requires ID for making a purchase with a debit card but you may want to check them out... Most other exchanges do require ID.

I notice the bounty manager account logged in today. I tagged that account, directing them to this thread; maybe they'll have something to say. For the moment, however, it looks like all is over already, and there's probably not much more to be done at this point.

If you were participating in the bounty personally it might be worth making a Level 3 flag on the account you red tagged.
