It's the place to be if you have something to hide. There are more companies than citizens, during the Panama Papers scandal there were hundreds of companies located there.
There is no tax if you create an International Business Company (IBC). You only pay $100 per year no matter what it's the company's revenue. There is no accounting needed, you don't have to declare a ledger or anything. The second advantage is you can create the company without the need to disclose the identity of the person

And your answer is to leave a negative feedback to people suporting flags against you. Usually what people do when they're out of arguments.
Look like we're not alone to be "extremely mentally ill and or brain dead", better to look at your mirror. Maybe you can red tag yourself too?

I would not give much importance to such websites now. People are aware of this type of scam. It's not like before when they would just post their site on Twitter and Telegram and people jumped on it immediately.

And your example is a good one. The address collect nothing

3564  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why only 6.2 percent of American citizens own Bitcoin? on: November 10, 2019, 08:11:51 PM
It's simple, and there are some reasons, but I'll make short

BTC is not so easy to pay to use like a credit card for example, it require a few steps, but not so easy for people who are't into technology
BTC is in the hands of the most rich in US, people with high amounts of money and coins, it's not for the poor



It's not a problem. The majority of people use cryptocurrencies either as a speculative asset or a store of value.

The title says "ONLY", but this is subjective. See what I mean, in the US there are over 300 million citizens, 6%=20 million. Not bad I would say, it's even surprising consider all the low information voters there are there.

One interesting fact that popped from the study was that more women were entering into the cryptocurrency realm.

True, SEPA is free in Europe, no matter the amount. And I would say it's also faster compared to 15 years ago. But the instant feature they're implementing is a huge update in the bank's systems. The dinosaurs decided to wake up.

I have a bank account with it, it's awesome, it's truly instant. You hit F5 and it's here

@Patatas @LTU_btc

In the early days, Preev.com was THE website for the Bitcoin' price for a single reason. It was one of the first and only to do it, not much any other. Someone mentioned Google's alternative. This one came a long time after (It hasn't been that long since google has been giving the real-time price)

Et pourquoi pas tout simplement changer pour un OS sous Linux? L'avantage c'est que c'est gratuit et tres facile d'utilisation. Tu peux tellement les customiser que tu peux même reproduire Win 7 si tu veux. Tu n'y verrais pas beaucoup de difference. On peut en trouver pour tout les gouts au niveau interface utilisateurs ect.

3568  Economy / Exchanges / Re: exchanger that accept "sepa instant transfer" on: November 08, 2019, 05:08:33 PM
People suggesting Kraken have perhaps no idea what you're talking about, they confuse SEPA and instant SEPA as we can see

@pasqua.letti

You won't find any. I think instant SEPA is not yet popular in European banks (maybe less than 25%). Even the major banks haven't implemented it, same with the neo banks. Added to the fact that even if the bank does, the platform needs to update their system, etc.

I mean, I believe we can wait a long time again before to see an exchange with instant SEPA.
3569  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Tag and scam report buttons. How do you think bitcoin developers? on: November 08, 2019, 12:53:55 PM
It is something potentially open to corruption, in an environment where information is supposed to be neutral. And contrary to what you think, the negative effects could be much more important than the positive ones. I can already imagine how easy it could be to destroy so many companies related to the industry.

I would say it's up to the user to do his due diligence, a block explorer is supposed to only show information available.
There is a difference between providing information and talking 'in the name of a community'
3570  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How to use bitcoin for international money transfer? on: November 08, 2019, 11:43:59 AM
Your European bank account won't be needed unless you have no choice.

What you could do is:
- Sell your btc for euros
- transfer euros to your EU bank
- Transfer to Transferwise>convert to CAD
- transfer to your local bank account in CAD.

Time-consuming and you could end up with paying ~2-3% in fees to do the transactions/conversion

Since you're Canadian what you need to look for are exchanges using Interac e-Transfer

"Why say "NO" to Web wallet"

And why not? We shouldn't be hypocrites. Generally, people start (including most of us here) with a web wallet such as Coinbase and blockchain.com and others. It's a good solution for those who start and who are not geeks.

We need to provide user-friendly solutions if we want it to be easy to use by everyone and thus to increase adoption.

Saying not to use a web wallet is a barrier to all this. We can perfectly use a web wallet. It's just that it's the kind of wallet in which you keep a little bit of money for current expenses.

The irony is that you tell to people not to use this kind of wallet but then you tell us you use it and you have bitcoins

I too buy my cryptocurrency hardware wallets from a Alibaba vendor who specializes in "cashmere products, Buddhist Ritual items, Woolen Products, Garments, Jewellery". /s

If you check the seller profile on Alibaba you can read

Pretty sure it's the same seller. Look like for 5 bucks they really send you something.

@Saint-loup

Ils leur vendent ca comme un objet spéculatif pas comme une monnaie alternative et le fait que Dieudionné s'implique publiquement dans ce projet est encore pire. C'est son effet de levier pour le buzz et la hype. Et puis les dissidents, ils ont des centaines de choix déjà existant et avec un réel écosystème derriere. Quel intéret pour ces gens d'utiliser un coin sorti de nul part, créer par une personne au passé douteuse.

De toute facon je crois même que cette personne ni connais pas grand chose dans la blockchain, le Bitcoin, ect. Je parle de tout ce qui est technique. Dès que tu commence à pousser la discussion un peu loin techniquement il te répond toujours avec un truc que tu sais pas quoi répondre à part "c'est pas ca que je t'ai demandé".

Tout le côté spéculatif c'est déjà pas franchement le mieux pour l'adoption de masse, alors si en plus on envoie les gens au casse-pipe sur des projets comme ca...

...and thanks to LeGaulois for updating the title.

Welcome  Cheesy

I wanted to report it as well but didn't.  At the same time, there is a discussion between people, I didn't want to kill it either, so I let it go.
I usually stick with
- anything not related to Bitcoin (Alts news, etc)
- anything related to an enterprise, no matter which one. I consider it like a press release, an announcement about a company and its product, not directly about Bitcoin
- anything with an article totally copy-pasted from well-know sources (Forbes & co)
- from time to time seo spams, etc


And while I'm on it, there is something I really hate but I know nothing can be done. When they post their big pictures so useless to the discussion. You never see a sexy lady naked on a sofa Angry
3575  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Be the first to try the true Decentralized Naming System: Butterfly Protocol on: November 07, 2019, 02:06:20 PM

Interesting project I am quite intrigue on this
Quote
True Ownership
You found the perfect name for your site, why should you pay every year just to keep it? Or get it taken away just because you pissed the wrong people off. With Butterfly when you own a name, you own it forever.

We are used to paying our registrar every year because that's the tradition, I would like to see how you are going to implement this, so you mean we pay one time and we own the name forever? Sounds new to us subscribe and will check the development and news.

Here the domain names will be on a blockchain. It won't be the TLDs as we know it. I suppose something like www. randomwebsite .butterfly
The project acts as a decentralized autonomous organization and will do what ICANN does currently. (When you buy a domain there's a fee for ICANN)

Interesting but no white paper. And too dependant from search engines, especially Google the evil

beautiful work!
My bad, I forgot to make it self moderated.  Roll Eyes

Even if it's not yet user-friendly enough for the mass, it's only the beginning and we still have a lot to see. What has been done around Bitcoin and its ecosystem is a huge work until now. I don't think Satoshi thought Bitcoin would become such a phenomenon.

"On Sep. 24, 2019, over 820,000 unique addresses transacted bitcoin on the network."
"Americans typed “Bitcoin” into Google more times in 2018 than they searched for a range of headline-making phrases, from “royal wedding” to “election results.”"

3577  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do long term holding profitable in all cases? on: November 07, 2019, 12:54:34 PM
I disagree with a lot of people. No, not all cryptocurrencies are or will  be profitable in the long term holding plan.
The Darwin theory. There are a lot of craps out there and most of them will die in the time and they will be forgotten forever.

I would say that you have no choice to keep your ETH if you don't want to lose money. If you sell right now it's a 600% negative ROI. Can you afford that?

Despite you seem to be less excited with altcoins, if you're a real believer about the project itself you should be convinced that it will hit a high price in the future. And if you are trying to convince yourself it's because you're not a real believer after all.

Perhaps focusing on fewer altcoins will give you a better experience.

Thank you for reminding me of that Cheesy. I didn't know OnecoinScam is still alive. It was my preferred soap opera in the crypto space. I thought it died when we proved that it had no blockchain but just a database.
Someone could really make an awesome movie from it. A lot better than Bitconnect. Look like I have a lot of things to catch up with on BehindMLM.

Tant que ça accroit l'adoption en France, je ne suis pas contre, si ça peut permettre d'attirer un public

Accroitre l'adoption dans le pays je veux bien, mais pas n'importe quoi non plus.

Sachant que cette personne a déjà mise 3 carottes via des entreprises, a dû changer de pays, à re-créer une entreprise alors même que la crypto est interdite la bas, et a deja un coin qui est tombé à l'eau (je  crois). On n'a pas besoin dêtre né de la derniere pluie pour voir l'embrouille venir.
