3841  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance invests $200 million to buy stake in Forbes on: February 12, 2022, 12:08:47 PM
I will not be surprised by that, and perhaps it is a smart investment, as Binance has money and is trying to expand in many countries, and therefore a good reputation is what you are looking for now.
I've seen some ads for them in the Africa Cup and there are probably many marketing campaigns that they do.
I hope they've invested enough in security, the last thing we want to hear is another bitcoin billion dollar hack.

Is there a possibility to track their investments or to disclose it publicly?

- Provides the option to use Cold Wallets.
These may not be considered a feature for escrow as the best way to manage escrow is a Multi-signature[1] address (m-of-n backup,) where the user gets one of the keys, the other party the other key, and the escrow who controls the transmission.
The possibility of providing more options for controlling money will be better. ( 4-of-5,  5-of-5 >> Decentralized cold storage vault)

What you are trying to do is to promote a site that claims to be an escrow, just as Binance P2P provides such services, except that you need to trust.
 

Anyway here is some old discussion about your service --->   Launched a Bitcoin escrow on Tor

Determining points of support and resistance is essential if you want to analyze the price or build a trading strategy, which is the only technical measure that works well and has a better prediction rate.

The problem is, will the price break those points or not? Failure to do so will determine whether you will achieve profits or losses.
The benefit also lies in buying and selling a little bit of Bitcoin at those points that determine how the user will place orders on the platforms.

Failure to understand the points of support and resistance is fundamental to the failure of the trading strategy and therefore profit will depend on luck.

We do not forget the bitcoin halving effect on the price.
3844  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where comes and how exchanges gets the bitcoins that I buy? on: February 12, 2022, 10:38:50 AM
Bitcoin comes from mining, mining farms mine Bitcoin and in return cash is paid to purchase equipment, location, electricity costs, connections, and cooling costs. Mining is also an investment activity where miners sell part of the Bitcoin to be able to continue investing or expand it .

 - Then come the platforms, which play the role of intermediary, providing an interface that manages databases for users.
 - When the user logs in, he gets a balance in their database, deposits and withdrawals are considered an update to their database.
 - Platforms often keep Bitcoin in cold storage, and a small portion is kept in hot wallet (after analyzing databases to predict daily/weekly withdrawals).

The process continues by accepting money from you, deducting fees and providing the possibility of withdrawal.
3845  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: New and emerging Cryptocurrencies? on: February 12, 2022, 10:14:50 AM
Check the new added cryptocurrencies: https://coinmarketcap.com/new/
it is a bad idea new added coins to CMC are bumped coins so when you invest in it, the wave will have risen, and therefore it will most likely be an ideal way to achieve losses.
It's true that it's a good idea to look for new worthwhile projects but there are hundreds of coins being added daily.
Maybe if someone made a website with good new listed tokens that are worth the investment then it would be a better idea.
3846  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Smart contracts and NFTs on top of the Bitcoin blockchain on: February 11, 2022, 04:16:24 PM
USDT bulid on the top of Bitcoin blockchain (Omni Layer) however, it did not achieve success because of fees, or at least things were not managed well.
Therefore, building on the Bitcoin network will not give value to this project, but rather how to make things better than what is done on other networks such as Ethereum, BSC and others.

If it is built on the lightning network, then there will be a difference although I think the tokens are better managed Ethereum/BSC (if it fails then it will be good)
3847  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fed decision impact on: February 11, 2022, 04:02:10 PM
Bitcoin is going in a pattern that is difficult to predict but at least based on past historical data there has been no relationship between price and inflation.
What can happen is change because money will move from stocks, gold, treasury proceeds and high-risk activities (including bitcoin) into or out of the financial system.
This change is only about 5% and therefore it is a normal change.
The best comparison is to compare Bitcoin with high-risk assets and the effect of inflation on them.

3848  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Does Gate.io requires KYC? on: February 11, 2022, 03:26:18 PM
unless you are from the following countries[1] you can apply for KYC.
Gate.io start requiring KYC for Deposit on Feb/2021 ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5315063.0

Are they scammers? There are not enough claims to confirm this.
Will they ask for KYC verification? Yes, at some point, KYC verification will be requested, so even if you use the site for several times and KYC not requested, it will be requested sooner or later.



what should I do? Try to avoid them if you don't want to complete KYC.
What if the currency I want to buy/sell is only listed only on gate.io? Avoid it.

!Citizens and residents of Washington State(U.S.A), New York State(U.S.A), Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria,Pakistan, the Government of Venezuela, and Crimea are not supported. centralized and decentralized methods.
3849  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to buy bitcoin with fiduciary coin and send it to my wallet? on: February 11, 2022, 05:58:32 AM
you can use Changelly or other exchanges that have this coin listed to sell it off.

I do not recommend using Changelly[1] [2] [3], there are many scam cases against this company so it is better to avoid them.
You can click on my signature to see the best platforms with a comparison of exchange rates although I think it is better to use central platforms for beginners after complete KYC.

Your project is a compilation of many terms* in cryptocurrencies and an attempt to create a project that includes them on a central network due to the low fees and thus the low costs of establishing the project.

You cannot promote your project like this, but you need to present something unique or better manage the existing, and not try to replicate or group existing projects into one project.

* metaverse, Staking, Launchpad, Defi, NFT

3851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Eying NFT!!! on: February 11, 2022, 05:17:27 AM
I don't think it's going to be a unique event or something we'll be waiting for, the game can run a central market for NFTs and I don't think it needs to do that on the blockchain.
I do not expect this to happen in the short term, but the more people accept NFT, the company will add it, it is related to making profits and not losing them in the stock market because some financiers do not like cryptos
3852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto stuck in sports betting site, now they want KYC on: February 11, 2022, 04:59:46 AM
Is this site honest? And you withdrawal from it before?
Many sites require identity verification and some hidden terms of service to scam users so make sure that they are a real service and that they do not want users from the United States due to the complexities of laws.


The idea will succeed if they can log in with the same IP address and cookies, but if that site is sufficiently developed (I doubt it), it will not work.
In general, you are now in violation of the terms of use, and therefore be careful in the next steps.
3853  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: New and emerging Cryptocurrencies? on: February 11, 2022, 04:43:04 AM
Does anyone know how to monitor new and emerging cryptocurrencies?
I hear about these floats of new cryptocurrencies but have not idea how to know when they're coming.  
you can try your luck with:

 - https://coinmarketcal.com/en/ : BEST ONE
 - https://coinscalendar.com/
 - https://coindar.org/
 - https://www.coinevents.co/hard-fork/

I used them in the past to make some profits, they are good sources of information but now the market is not normal and it is controlled by the change of bitcoin which has become difficult to predict so it does not have much value at the moment.
3854  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New contract scam in crypto on: February 10, 2022, 04:50:57 PM
Almost all altcoins are centralized at one point or another, and therefore it is better to trade them within the central platforms, since most of them have the feature of freezing coins/tokens inside the wallets, and thus:

 - Don't invest a lot of money in altcoins: or don't invest at all.
 - Keep some in centralized platforms: If the currency is centralized or has high fees, it is better to leave it in a centralized platform.
 - Stay away from buying it for cash: Try to buy it for a service or something that doesn't cost you a lot of money to lose.
 - Do not keep it for a long time.
 - Don't be greedy: most of them fail to return to old ATH
3855  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the future of crypto in India, how to avoid crypto tax and TDS, on: February 10, 2022, 04:35:46 PM
Do not take tax advice from anonymous people on the Internet, as the forum is multi-country and therefore most of us may not have visited India or know about the tax systems there.

The best solution to avoid paying taxes is to keep the currencies for as long as possible and sell them once. There are some ways to make the taxes you pay less, but you need a specialized lawyer and some experience that you gain with experiences and intelligence.
3856  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam alert]Pre-sale Paypal token ads on facebook on: February 10, 2022, 04:09:10 PM
Unfortunately, you will find that some are victims of this type of scam because they are present on Facebook (if it was scam, the platform would have removed it) and because it bears the name of a well-known product, which is PayPal.
Report it directly to the PayPal/Facebook and they will delete this content quickly due to the ease of checking for scam.
Unfortunately, the survival of such sites for a few minutes is enough to make some believe in such cheap scams.
3857  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Guide] Using Blockchain Explorers on: February 10, 2022, 03:34:07 PM
Your guide is good and appropriate. You just need to do some formatting and it will be perfect.

The funny part is that you haven't put any link yet ---> blockchair.com.
The features of this explorer are:

 - TX statement[1]: Just as explained above, you can get these same features for the wallet.
 - Anonymous portfolio tracker: you can track your portfolio without using any third-part apps.
 - Tor features: to enhance privacy, most explorers do not enjoy such privacy.



Does anyone know if there is a way to add the exchange rate for a country that does not exist or to modify fiat exchange rate (some countries have more than one exchange rate VS USD.)

3858  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: QR codes vs NFC in Bitcoin Wallets on: February 10, 2022, 03:14:58 PM
At the moment, QR codes are the most popular because most phones can read them more than NFC tags.
The short range of NFC, which is currently 1.5 inches, may not give it an added advantage in Bitcoin transactions, but it is better in terms of sharing data and bank card addresses.

Perhaps the only downside to QR is privacy but most of the time they are addresses for making payments, these addresses are not private.

anyway i think we should compare NFC with Bluetooth Low Energy
3859  Economy / Economics / Re: Impact of Bitfinex hack on the economy on: February 10, 2022, 01:48:05 PM
The issue of arresting them does not seem logical because hackers have technical knowledge that makes them keep that money in cold storage instead of this method.

Bitfinex was hacked by two Israeli brothers, and the people in question are just trying to launder that money - although there is no doubt that there is a connection between them - but those who devised the hack are still two brothers, one of which belonged to a special section of the Israeli IDF army.

Perhaps this story is more logical because I think hackers are smarter than that in general. Let's wait for more details, because it seems that what happened may be a coincidence or related to another case.


What impact do you think this will have on bitcoin price if the total seizure were back into circulation?

It will not have an effect. On the contrary, the effect will be positive. The seized money often takes a while to return to the platform, and after paying taxes and others, the matter may settle from one to three months.
Thus, when it is pumped into the market, the price may have gone up already.
3860  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Reliable ecash wallet needed on: February 10, 2022, 01:25:23 PM
I can't find any ecash wallet that isn't web wallet or centralized wallet please if you are mining ecash kindly share me the wallet you are using I have an ASIC that I can use to mine as many as possible ecash coin.
If you have been following Bitcoin for a while, a hard fork has taken place to produce BitcoinCash, which also had another hard fork BitcoinCashABC aka ecash.

Electrum wallet is an open source wallet and has been well reviewed, but ElectrumABC[1]'s version has not been reviewed like Bitcoin version, although it is open source and looks good in general.

you can also try https://viawallet.com/ which is another good option.

about Mining it you can read this ----> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5144362.msg57585522#msg57585522  or PM @philipma1957 he has previous experience with mining it and may help you (be nice when asking)
