3621  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will Hit over 700% or $250k is this possible? on: June 11, 2022, 03:57:28 PM
Take a look at the graph and $250k becomes a possibility in 2024 and inevitable in 2034
It's up to you to determine where the upper bound of the channel hits.

I'm going with the typical "Past performance is not indicative of future results" on this one. Certain patterns like this one (and like S2F) can occur, but will break at some point; 'when' is the question.

But yea — not saying that it's impossible, but I really wouldn't bet on it.
3622  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will Hit over 700% or $250k is this possible? on: June 11, 2022, 02:50:19 PM
Yes it's very possible but it might only come in 2024

You really make it sound like 2024 is far away. If anything, don't you think that $250k in merely 2 years is too much of a stretch? Because it's highly likely to take more years than that lol.

Gaya ng sabi dun sa message, contact customer support. Sasabihin naman nila kung ano kailangan mong gawin or kung ano ung problema.

ok lang ba sa kanila yang gambling basta online wallet?
Hindi. Kaya lang ginagamitan ng ibang wallet in-between para hindi directly nagmmove from coins.ph <-> gambling site ung pera; para hopefully hindi nila mapansin.
3624  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the comparative advantage of Bitcoin over other blockchains? on: June 11, 2022, 01:51:41 PM
Bitcoin is the most decentralized and most secure. Being a very simple protocol that only does permissionless value transfers is a huge advantage, compared to other blockchains that are trying to do multiple things.

More features = higher complication = higher chances that some things can go wrong

Besides the rules, there's really nothing you need to know about Bitcointalk. It's just a forum where we like talking about Bitcoin/crypto; and not necessarily a moneymaking site.
3626  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What's been your greatest challenge on BTT ? on: June 11, 2022, 09:38:14 AM
Nothing. While I love Bitcointalk and I enjoy conversing here, I think some people take it a bit too seriously as if Bitcointalk is some company and that they need to climb the corporate ladder on.

Be on Bitcointalk if you like talking about Bitcoin/crypto. The earning part should only be an extra; and try your best to make your Bitcointalk earnings not your main income to the point that we're talking about courage and believing in yourself and all that stuff concerning ranking up on Bitcointalk.

^Probably a controversial take but yea lol.

Re: The future of Bitcoin is set with the launch of Bitcoin academy in Brooklyn?

Lol what do you mean? Educational content like this are undoubtedly great, but how does it "set" Bitcoin's future? Whatever you meant by it.

On another note — while this is getting positive attention from the Bitcoin/crypto community, a lot of the masses are definitely not happy with this. They're so mad as if Jay-Z and Dorsey are asking money for this. https://twitter.com/sc/status/1534921133199347712

The account has been suspended.
I also saw that a few days ago via a news portal. Tweet response is disabled and inserts a suspicious (shortened) url in the main tweet. I think I know why it was blocked.

I was actually a bit curious about the influencer scandal proof he promised and was hoping he could come up with some other way. For securty's sake, I'll use another device that doesn't store anything important.

If I remember correctly the "suspicious url" you're referring to is just a Twitlonger link. People use Twitlonger for those people who want to read on one single webpage, not on multiple Tweets (because of the character limit).
3629  Economy / Economics / Re: Unusual Situation as Russia’s Ruble bounces back as world best per fiat currency on: June 10, 2022, 06:21:02 AM
LOL.. you guys have been predicting a complete economic meltdown in Russia for more than 3 months now. The Russian currency and stock market seems to be doing just fine. None of your doomsday predictions have materialized. On the other hand, the commodities that Russia export have gone up in prices by manifold. Wheat went up from $200 per tonne to $500 per tonne. Crude went up from $40 per barrel to $125. LNG used to cost as little as $50 per thousand cubic meters. Now it costs $1,000 to $1,200. If anyone is suffering, it is not the people of Russia. The hydrocarbon importers, such as EU, India and Japan are suffering.

Point me to where I was predicting a complete economic meltdown in Russia. I'll wait. What I posted in this thread was data that literally already materialized; not something I was speculating on.
3630  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the future of bitcoin? Commodity, currency or smth else? on: June 10, 2022, 03:46:44 AM
OK, question was about the role of bitcoin from the personal point of view. Somebody prefers to keep this asset, another is interesting in circulation, exchanging and spending.

Yes, because that's the point. No one gets to tell you what Bitcoin is "officially" for. If you think it's a currency, then go use it as a currency. If you think it's an investment, then go use it as an investment. Etc. Freedom at its best.
3631  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can this be called a warning as spreading the virus? on: June 10, 2022, 02:48:53 AM
People believing him and retweeting him worries me a bit. While I like influencers getting exposed (though not a fan of privacy leaks in general but yea), are we really just going to take his word for it? What are the chances of him just releasing some malicious software on the 15th? Definitely not impossible.
3632  Economy / Speculation / Re: Would you be willing to support anyone who gives the most accurate predictions? on: June 10, 2022, 02:22:48 AM
Well, my friend I care alot about you and others. I wouldn't still be here if I didn't.
Anyway, we could use this to prove who currently controls the market. My reputation is on the line

No offense broski, but no one would really care if you're right or wrong. Anyone who can actually predict markets is sitting silently making money on his/her own, not posting on forums trying to prove himself/herself to some random pseudonymous people online.

^Also, even if you end up being right with this trade, it doesn't prove anything. You're making a bet with 3 potential results. 33.33%.
3633  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and tools. Would you like to spend/live without extra data control? on: June 09, 2022, 05:21:29 PM
A lot of people do not care about data collection. Data collection  is also very useful from different points of view. So the question is about the point of control. What could be collected, what preferably would not be collected and how to keep balance. FIAT is also product of controlled society. And we were OK with that. Actualy the question is not so easy. It is difficult because it is about our security too, security and future of the children.

That is true. But the point is — you're asking a Bitcoin community. 99% is going to agree with you. It's like asking a hardcore Trump supporter what he/she thinks about Trump. You already know the answer you're going to get.
3634  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Securing Seed Phrase Using Magic Mug Under $15 on: June 09, 2022, 05:09:59 PM
So Simple. I asked to print two Mugs. You may print more than four mugs. If you make them from four different shops, I don't think anyone can guess you are doing something stupid to secure your Seed Grin. If a single mug contains 3-6 random words, It's not enough to guess it's your seed phrase.

A backup divided into only 2 has a good amount of risk. As for 4+ mugs, with that amount of wasted space the mugs would need, is it even worth it anymore? Taking note that more mugs = the more mugs you need to not break.

Idunno, at that point I'd rather just do something else.
3635  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and tools. Would you like to spend/live without extra data control? on: June 09, 2022, 04:40:24 PM
Bitcoin is NOT anonymous, just pseudo-anonymous. In summary, it could only be somewhat anonymous if you know what you're doing (coinjoins, coin control, etc); but it's definitely NOT anonymous by default.

But to answer your question, you're asking people on a Bitcoin forum lol. You know the answer you're going to get.
3636  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Securing Seed Phrase Using Magic Mug Under $15 on: June 09, 2022, 04:25:44 PM
Why would anyone want to use this insecure means of storing their seedphrase, when they can get a hardware wallet for a slightly higher amount (if you're considering you would need to get two)?
Contracting someone to create a design for you with random words, would give a hint to a Bitcoin seedphrase, as the words would make zero sense when arranged on symmetrically. Giving the hint that you own bitcoins creates a security risk as you suggested it should not be ordered online.

The cons should also include that it's;
• Difficult to carry around,
• Would need to be imported into a device to be able to transfer,
• Could inadvertently be destroyed, misused, or tampered with if discovered.

I think the intention for this is to have a backup "hidden in plain sight"; just left on a cupboard. It's pretty much your backup on a thing that not even a thief would think of taking. Not necessarily something you would bring yourself everywhere lol as it's not a wallet in the first place.

But yea, I think this is nice if you could make one yourself; definitely not something I'd risk asking a manufacturer to make lol.
3637  Economy / Speculation / Re: Would you be willing to support anyone who gives the most accurate predictions? on: June 09, 2022, 03:39:47 PM
Nope, because someone who can actually make good market "predictions" has no business in helping some random person on an online forum.
3638  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [READ]: CCleaner search results spread crypto stealing malware on: June 09, 2022, 03:13:46 PM
Ah yes, cracked software. I've been a huge user of those kinds of software in the past too! (I was a broke college student)

..until I had bitcoin and then suddenly I had something big to lose if I were to end up having malware. The moment I had around like $500 worth (and bitcoin's price was rising), I immediately bought a Ledger Nano S, and reinstalled my OS from scratch, not installing any pirated software again.

^What's funny is that what I did in the past should've been a no-brainer for everyone to do, but unfortunately most people are just careless as heck, and will need to learn the hard way.
3639  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the future of bitcoin? Commodity, currency or smth else? on: June 09, 2022, 02:48:42 PM
if that 0.00000001 is too expensive for FIAT users  then FIAT will exist until this problem is solved. That is why meaning "affordable currency" may be in use.

Looking for an "affordable currency" is like a person buying a typical roadside rock just because he couldn't afford a kilogram of gold, even though he could just have bought a gram of gold. If doesn't make any sense at all.
3640  Economy / Economics / Re: Unusual Situation as Russia’s Ruble bounces back as world best per fiat currency on: June 09, 2022, 01:48:44 PM
According to what I found online, Russia ruble has not been in its best since the invasion. Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, ruble price increased during that time, since February 25th and got to its pick on March 11th which is its peak (on the the graph below). Ever since March 11th, ruble price has been on the decline and fall more than the price it was before the war.

And their currency having a blow-off top like a total shitcoin is only just the tip of the iceberg. Their stock market is getting toast, and it seems likely to continue as well.
