You could only classify Bitcoin if it has that kind of price in USD. It would be very different if it has a lower value, which we don't want, of course. But in all honesty, it's not directly correlated to the amount of circulating like the other ones. There's a difference, for sure. What I'm curious about is how it would affect the entire world, and in what way? I'm hoping for a positive impact on those people learning about Crypto.
3842  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: VPN for cryptocurrencies? on: September 04, 2020, 12:41:31 AM
It does make you feel safe with the protection that you get from VPN's. I have used a couple of VPN's with some integrated VPN and a dedicated VPN like NordVPN, and it's quite remarkable. It's better to stick with the dedicated one because some integrated VPN's are trash, most of the time. If the exchange got hacked, that's just because of the security of the exchange, not yours. As long as you stick with good passwords, 2FA, etc. you are pretty safe with your account.
3843  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Investment advice backed by real experience on: September 03, 2020, 08:55:44 AM
Yeah, I can see it now. A whole new generation of super traders who show off to their friends and followers how smart they were during 2020 making 4x, nay 10x the investment in weeks because they were smart enough to invest in Yams and Sushi. They'll be opening secret paid Bitcoin trading groups like they did in 2018, on the back of 2017 performance. And people will fall for it.
I think that's just the cycle right now with everyone or in general if I must say. Just like how people are still getting fooled by Ponzi Schemes. Ponzi schemes have been around the mid-to-late 1800s [1], and people even have been fooled by it, and it's because of the big G in their foreheads, Greed. It's the person's responsibility to know what to invest in or something.

3844  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What advice will you give to a beginner trader? on: September 03, 2020, 08:21:18 AM
There are a lot of things that could help you and it varies on your trading style. So I think, first of all is plan your trades. Don't make it a rush to trade and make sure that your conditions are met before anything else and it implies with the rules that you have set as well. With this plan, you would know what to do.

Do you plan to trade everyday or are you going to be busy and just trade for least of the time? I suggest you get a trading bot as well like Gunbot and you could trade and check it when you want to. You could set your conditions there and pretty much take care of the rest. It's not an easy trading tool to learn but once you have, you could potentially profit in the long run. The best thing about it is you could learn trading knowledge while applying it to the tool.

Let me know if you are interested with that as well.

I tried to buy another 20 rigs and the market price has gone upto 1170 usd per rig.
Wouldn't you want to get your ROI first before reinvesting? Or have I missed out on the part where you have already earned back your investment? As long as you keep balance with your investment and profits, it is good. Especially now, ETH has increasing in price again.
3846  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto.com investment app is it a good deal? on: September 02, 2020, 12:49:23 AM
I am using Crypto.com but I'm not sure if you are talking about the staking or not? I have a balance with the staking in order to avail of the debit card that they are offering and it's quite helpful. It doesn't promise any *too good to be true* statements so I don't think they would do that. They have their own token MCO before but now it's CRO, you need to swap it. I don't know if there's something behind the scenes that happened.
3847  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fundamental Analysis or Technical Analysis - which is more important? on: September 01, 2020, 11:32:18 PM
I tend to agree with this matter. You can use both of them too if you want to have a good forecast of price movement.
I think the most important factor would always be the risk that you are willing to put into trades and putting a stop loss in order to limit the amount of losses that you could incur while having the open position on the market. First of all I think the understanding of different factors in trading should be important as well, no matter what you are going to do, have a trading plan and follow it.
3848  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fundamental Analysis or Technical Analysis - which is more important? on: September 01, 2020, 09:44:55 PM
If I had to choose between the two, it's easier to follow technical analysis because you are right there, and it's made to for you if you are the one charting it. The consequences for it are that you would be biased to your chart, and if it went the opposite direction, you would get discouraged unless you have a solid trading plan.

On the other hand, I would consider fundamental analysis if and only if it is significant and relevant to the current situation that we have now. Like recently, with the pandemic, the price has gone down, and it recovered.

Basically, it depends on the situation. It doesn't matter if you use TA or FA. What matters is to stick to your plan and be strict about it.
3849  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Yet Another Roi Investment Project Spamming the Forum via PM [Probably scam] on: September 01, 2020, 09:30:55 PM
Thanks for sharing this. Almost all these types of investment schemes are scams and not supposed to be taken into consideration. Things like this should be read by newbies in order not to get victimized by it.

Anyway, I haven't received anything close to that even if I allowed newbies to PM me. Maybe after this post, I will receive one, lol.

Maybe a lot of their spam accounts are quickly getting banned, and they are resorting to PM’s so it wouldn't get reported so quickly.
3850  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Question About Using Blockchain.com Website on: September 01, 2020, 09:40:01 AM
I understand how in the back of your mind, there's still an uneasy feeling with re-using the previous address just because it doesn't show anymore on the website. One thing you could do, if you want to be sure of is that you can send a small amount to the BTC address and see if it comes through. For sure, it will, but at least in your mind, it will be at peace.

Maybe you would get interested in generating your wallet by buying a hardware wallet in the future for better security and control as well.
3851  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it time to think of cash and bank deposits as different currencies? on: September 01, 2020, 06:37:30 AM
So basically, you can be considered rich even if you don't have the tangible assets in your hand based on what number is in your bank account. That's it pretty much. I think that poses a problem with cash because of the non-availability of withdrawing money makes it more like it's not yours. The banks would have a problem if they cannot guarantee the amount that they can give to their clients, and I agree with the difficulties in the future.

I'm still quite mixed with it, to be honest, because cashless transactions have always been the future, and we are almost there, to be honest. More applications with crypto would be excellent, but despite all of that, there would still be cash transactions.

Maybe consider cash and bank deposits as digital and the physical type? Which you cannot wholly disregard, any of the two. I can't seem to find good reference material for those gold-infused notes that you are talking about as well.
3852  Economy / Speculation / Re: History shows Bitcoin price may take 3-12 months to finally break $20K on: September 01, 2020, 01:13:27 AM
It's all a paradox but it's within our grasp to do whatever needs to be done whether you should go long or go short on the price of Bitcoin. I think the biggest struggle that people experience is that they don't fully understand the risk when trading. They could be profitable this month but not on the other. Trades are probable but it's not guaranteed to happen. I do hope for Bitcoin to have another ATH.
3853  Economy / Economics / Re: Famine is coming next ... on: August 31, 2020, 02:45:24 PM
If famine happens, it would be best to help one another and strive to resolve the problem together instead of battling for survival. It shouldn't be that way. 

This is what happens when people started valuing money more than our environment. This is inevitable when it's all about the industries, manufacturing, and other environmental threats that are offered for the sake of money. As for the recent happenings, like the fire in Australia, heatwaves in Greenland, Flooding in Africa, etc. These effects have been caused by climate change and it's worsening.

For us people, what we could do is reduce waste or organize your waste in order for easier recycling. Convert to renewable energy resources for a brighter future. Come on, what else can we do with it?
3854  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum wallet user Lost $16M in Bitcoin. on: August 31, 2020, 11:17:45 AM
As someone who has that kind of amount and doesn’t know how to be safe with it says a lot. I don’t understand why he would install it without verifying the source of the installer. Instructions on How to verify is very straightforward. It's probably not going to get taken back, for sure.

At least in the article it shows that Binance is blacklisting any bitcoins that come from that exchange.
3855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever wiped off a casino through Blackjack? on: August 29, 2020, 07:10:53 AM
I don't think Casinos would like to be cleaned out, so maybe there's an edge or something for them. If you have the capability of being able to win almost every time, why not? Just always remember to risk what you can afford to lose. That's just about it. I hope that fun money can be converted into real money once you have had enough. I'm not sure if it's possible there. I can remember when I was gambling in BitVest, and they have the tokens, and they can be converted once you have around 200K tokens IIRC.

It takes time and knowledge to know what to do with every deal, especially in Blackjack, and if you believe you have what it takes, why not?
3856  Other / Meta / Re: [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+) on: August 29, 2020, 12:50:41 AM
I actually tried that, but the forum is giving me inconsistent values.
Since the data is coming from the forum, I think you cannot do anything about it. For me it’s OK to display even if it's not in line with the actual current merit. I'm still thankful for the bot overall.

Do you all prefer the notifications showing only the post title as they are now or how it was before, where it also included the boards?
I didn't even notice the changes until you pointed it out, however, I prefer how it was before. It's more comfortable to remember where it was posted.
3857  Economy / Economics / Re: The pros and cons of going cashless on: August 28, 2020, 09:58:54 AM
It does apply to debit and crypto as well. Specially when you have enough funds stored  to your wallet or card. Unnecessary spending is inevitable when you have easier access to online shopping.
I think if you have no control over your spending, it would be easy for you just to check out everything that you set your eyes on. If you have control, you don't need to think about it too much and worry that you will purchase something. Imagine as well. If you are spending your crypto in a hardware wallet, it will make transferring funds a hassle, making it another obstacle to prevent you to pay. Maybe that could be an option for cashless peeps who are worried about their spending habits.
3858  Other / Meta / Re: [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+) on: August 28, 2020, 07:26:41 AM
Thank you for the update.

I've received a notification, but merit info didn't reflect. should be 1178

https://i.ibb.co/xFBTx3W/e.jpg
I'm still trying to fix that. Apparently, the forum takes some time to update the user's merit count, and the bot is scrapping the profile just a few seconds after the merit was received, so it gets the outdated value from time to time.

I pushed a potential solution, but I haven't tested it. If the bot still notifies you with the wrong merit count, let me know and I'll try to adjust it.
I just received a merit and it's the same as DroomieChikito that the one showing at the start of the notification/chat message is what you have before, not the current merit that you have. Maybe just add from what variable the merit is then + n to how many merits that the user receives?
3859  Economy / Services / Re: Roobet.com | Art Contest - $5000 Prizepool up for grabs! Ends August 31st on: August 28, 2020, 07:20:13 AM
This is my entry entitled

”Nano Roobet”

     
     

   



This is to inspire everyone that art is everywhere. I made this because I want to show that art and science can mix, and it did. I used an SEM or Scanning Electron Microscope to create this art.

An SEM is an equipment that uses a focused beam of high-energy electrons to generate different signals of a solid surface. Focusing the beam for a certain time could bring damage to the sample, and I utilized that and engraved the Roobet Logo onto a surface.




The canvas that I used is a lens, just like what you use for eyeglasses. I cut the lens using a standard hacksaw with a vice grip.



I carefully grind into a 5x5 mm small piece of glass and attached it to an SEM sample stub then load it into the machine and I started engraving the logo.

   
   

Additional Pictures:

Comparing the art with a strand of hair


Bonus: Close up photo of the strand of hair





How I made the smallest art piece - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdd7amdwhok



This art piece took a lot of time and effort to create this, so I would appreciate everyone checking out the video to understand how I made it. The video is quite long even if the video is already fast-forwarded, and you could adjust the playback on YouTube to the fastest one, scroll through the video or skip to the end if you want to see the outcome. 

Hopefully, everyone likes it. Nano Roobet is a one-of-a-kind art.

There are a lot of reasons why gambling should be legalized and a lot of reasons as well not to. First of all, know "why it is banned" in the first place.
  • You are taking money from stupidity and greed.
  • Addictive to people. It will cause more losses than wins, and it would affect the person
  • Possible criminal activities can occur

Some governments take these things seriously and would honestly take the chance to have a better environment without gambling. So it still depends on where you are and how it's going to be in your country, but there are a lot of pros and cons when it comes to that, and the ending is always for the decision on the government.
