All the so-called witnesses suddenly fall ill during the trial, which is also the case with uncle Lynam son who was supposed to testify. Speaking of witnesses, do we know if anyone will testify in favor of Hodlonaut?

5 years to Mars? You are obviously basing your assumption on some outdated data, because if NASA is to be believed, the journey to Mars takes 7 months under optimal conditions.

Besides, this topic has almost nothing to do with the Bitcoin discussion...

For consolation, you are not the only one who sold it then, the only question is, did you do it fast enough so as not to be at a loss? The same thing is happening today because people are disappointed that Bitcoin did not reach the price of $100 000, and now they are waiting for some new opportunity in the hope that the price will go down even more.

What is important is that people learn something from their past actions and not repeat the same mistakes, and if you think you made a mistake in 2018, then you have a new chance to correct it today. It's never too late for a new start, and if you look historically, Bitcoin has always been a very profitable investment - although only for those who understand what they're actually investing in.

You are not the first case to look for your lost treasure, and I am only telling you from the experience of someone who started following this forum back in 2014. Even if there is someone who will read your post and that someone recognizes what you are talking about, do you think it is realistic to get back something that you paid $10 for, and today is worth hundreds of thousands of $?

You can hope, no one is preventing you from looking for answers to the questions you have, but in that case you should expand your search much wider than this forum. If these people are gamers, then maybe they are active on some forum that specializes in that kind of thing.

You are new to the forum, so you are not to be blamed for thinking that way - but how many people from that period do you think are active on the forum? There are a few people from 2010, and a few more from 2011, but most of the active people on the forum are those who were not aware that Bitcoin existed in 2009 or 2010. The chance that these early adopters read the forum is therefore very very small.

Maybe you recognize someone by their nickname or a new light turns on for you -> https://bpip.org/

How many times will the Faketoshi team mention GA and his support when he was convinced that CW was Satoshi? I will never stop being amazed at how a (for the most part) brilliant mind like Gavin Andresen turned out to be a big fool for supporting him at one time, although I will always find it very strange that Satoshi collaborated with him at all and left him with too much influence.

Let the judge take this into account and compensate the mental pain of our doctor Faketoshi with, say, 1 satoshi for each disputed tweet - that is more than fair considering the past verdict - in 10 years, Faketoshi will collect enough for a whole box of chocolates

I am of the opinion that for the authorities and the law, this area is still perceived as quite harmless, at least if we take that famous market cap as the main criterion. We know that this measure is something that is completely manipulative when talking about the total market cap, but Bitcoin at $100k would amount to about $2 trillion, with at least that much more for all altcoins.

The more money there is in that game, the more interest there will be in regulating it - and until then, they will let the little baby play its carefree game (I refer to Brad Sherman's statement in Libra case "Bitcoin is a small baby here").

8 million tons is very little if you believe that in just one country there are as many as 200 million tons - and it is not China or Australia, but Serbia. This is one of the reasons why the EU wants that country to join the EU as soon as possible, but also the reason why the US in every possible way wants to have as much influence as possible in that country, which stands out especially through military cooperation (arms donations).

Unfortunately for the local dictator and general ruler, things did not develop in the desired direction, because the people who live there do not want lithium mines in their backyard.

You are mistaken, it is not about the thread that the OP quoted, but about the one behind the hyperlink, which dates from September 6, 2022 - what you are referring to is something completely different, and the OP just wanted to make a comparison that has obviously confused some people like you.

Let's put it this way, Sweden, unlike most countries in Europe, long ago started a process in which it will become less and less dependent on gas or oil, and today it gets most of its energy from nuclear plants, hydro sources and biofuels and waste. Although oil still makes up a certain percentage of total consumption, gas is something that Sweden does not have to worry too much about. I think it will be much clearer if you look at the following infographic.

Such topics can be placed on different boards, so although in this case, B&H can serve the purpose of warning beginners about how easily they can be scammed through social networks, it would not be wrong if that topic is also on the Scam board. We can only find out why mods think that Altcoins is the appropriate board for this topic if one of them answers that question.

I don't know how you haven't noticed, but @nutildah is back and has been active for a while.

The OP reminds me of a story that I also read on the forum some time ago, where the user claims that he had some kind of wallet in 2009 (and maybe even earlier). In this particular case, it is still a matter of confusion because in 2009 there were no BTC wallets with seed words.

What I want to say is that people can very easily get confused and be convinced that something happened to them in a specific year, but the story presented to us by the OP is proof that it is very easy to get confused. In addition, looking for a website from that era makes no sense, and having a file that could be connected to a Bitcoin wallet is a completely different story.

That's why I emphasized that these are special power banks that have a larger capacity, and as far as I can see, you can get them online for a price even lower than $100 (20 000mAh). For example only ->Linearflux Hypercharger Max USB-C Portable Charger


Nigeria is on the list of countries that are on that list and according to the official Starlink website, the service should become available in Q3 2022. Starlink has also received all necessary permits from the Nigerian authorities and will be available throughout the country. In addition, one user in the community can buy such internet and then share it wirelessly with neighbors/friends and thus reduce subscription costs.

The only alternative that comes to mind at the moment is to get yourself a power bank, which you will then charge when there is electricity and use it when you need it. Of course, I am not referring to power banks that are usually used for mobile phones and smaller devices, but to serious devices that have a capacity of up to 50 000mAh.


This is something that can only be changed with a better internet infrastructure in your country, or if you write to Musk and ask him to donate one of his devices for satellite internet for your community - it sounds strange, but you have nothing to lose if you try - or collect money together and buy satellite internet -> Starlink Nigeria


Thieves always choose easier targets first, and if they know you have some type of protection (alarm, surveillance cameras, weapons) they won't just attack you. It's also wise to always keep a low profile, don't talk about having Bitcoin and brag about your new phone or laptop.


Corruption and crime are nothing that does not exist anywhere in the world - and the best fight against it is not to vote for corrupt politicians in elections, and to report every attempt at blackmail and criminal acts, regardless of whether it comes from the police. Of course, the problem is when everyone is corrupt, but there is always someone honest, you just have to find them.


The forum should not be a place for making money, it should only be something that comes as an additional thing in the process of information exchange and discussion. I agree that without the Internet and a good computer you can hardly be more active on the forum, but unlike some spammers who are very productive, their number of posts does not mean much if compared to someone who writes only 3 meaningful and quality posts a day. Quality always before quantity

If you read their statement, you will see that this amount is not mentioned only in the context of investing in Bitcoin, but "for general corporate purposes", and if we read between the lines, it seems to me personally that the greater part of the investment will go to some less risky investments which should ensure positive financial results in the short term.

In addition, MicroStrategy is not the company that caused some significant movements in the price of Bitcoin with its moves - it is not Mr. Mars and his Twitter machinery of 100+ million followers.

From everything you mentioned, Bitcoin seems to be the best option for me, not only because the Euro is weakening and losing its purchasing value, but because I trust the decentralized system more than the institution called the ECB (European Central Bank). Given that my country is not yet in the Eurozone, I always have a certain amount of local currency that I need for everyday life, but luckily I can buy a lot directly for Bitcoin.

If I had to choose something else, perhaps the choice would be the Swiss franc for the reason that Switzerland has always been and probably will be neutral regardless of what happened in Europe. Of course, gold is always an option, in case everything goes to hell we will return to the time when it was a universal way of payment anywhere in the world.

Maybe they would do that if they understood how important the privacy and security of their clients is. The way they tried to minimize the damage they caused to their clients when the database was hacked perhaps best shows that such things are not very important to them. Although, considering that some EU politicians and bureaucrats have visions of even stricter regulation when it comes to cryptocurrencies, I would not be surprised if Ledger and similar companies start demanding strict KYC for every customer.

A few days ago, I read that an online casino is asking for verification in such a way that the user has to take a selfie with a newspaper in his hands, in front of a sign with the name of his street and house number...

It's not just Twitter, just look at what's happening on YouTube or FB or Telegram... Some have made a real business out of it without even having to leave their house/apartment. Although there are those who sincerely share their knowledge and do not try to sell fake stories and sensations, most of them not only do not know what they are talking about, but quite consciously promote crypto projects that are doomed from the start.

I think that in this whole story, Bitcoin was certainly used the most as bait for the masses, and perhaps the most obvious example was that of the late John McAfee, who first attracted people with his statement that 1 BTC would be worth $1 million, and then he used his Twitter account to promote various altcoins.

However, some people are more influential than others, such as Saylor, who has about 130 000 BTC and only 2.6 million followers on Twitter, while the famous Mr. Mars has over 105 million followers, and before he got into the whole story with Bitcoin, he had only about 40 million or even less.

I don't remember it being necessary before and I haven't really used that processor for a long time - but if every customer has to do KYC just to make a payment in Bitcoin then that's just another added risk in potentially compromising the privacy of anyone buying HW.

In a way, this makes every purchase that would be made through a PO box somewhat pointless, because even though Ledger does not know our data, the payment processor can always be hacked, and then the only question is which data will leak. The only safe way of shopping left is to find a physical store, put on a cap and a protective mask and pay with cash, preferably outside the place of residence.

Why would anyone even care what someone thinks about Bitcoin or because they changed their profile picture on a social network? People who base their investments on what some influencer will say will really not do well in life. Who knows, maybe Pompi was afraid that Faketoshi would sue him next, because he obviously had his eye on famous people from Twitter.

I think you are wrong, he knows a lot about Bitcoin, much more than some others who present themselves as great experts. Maybe the man just got tired of everything and decided to dedicate himself to something else, and that doesn't mean that overnight he became someone who needs to be attacked because he no longer has laser eyes...
