Going by his previous accounts, he is now gone and has likely fired up a new account. We'll find him again though. He's either too stupid or too arrogant to hide his true self (probably a combination of both). This guy is a true sociopath. He is lacking a critical part of the prefrontal cortex which renders his ability to empathize on par with that of a silverback gorilla.

For as many times as I see my name in all these charts, graphs and lists, I feel like I should be getting paid, LOL. In reality we're just social media whores, although sometimes some people do occasionally make posts that are informative: about bitcoin, crypto in general, or useful in some other way. In lieu of direct payment can I at least get a blue checkmark as a Bitcointalk Influencer next to my name?

3964  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: DreamerBT is phisher/scammer on: October 24, 2020, 02:29:53 AM
Hey @DreamerBT a.k.a. Rambotnic a.k.a. Boombl4 a.k.a. OldSamurai a.k.a. Psomus, been a long time no see. What's new? Have you stopped scamming and being arrogant?  Grin

It only took 5 days before we learned that the unfortunate answer is "no", he has not:

What happened:: Im new and trying to sell my BTC, a got a pm from Dreamer BT with his telegram @SamPatell, then he agrees to all my fees and even agrees to buy in Odessa (after i said don't think London is possible), then i get added by another guy @RichardNewell with the same idea, we agreed on escrow Monbux, then i read the topic and it says he doesn't provide escrow anymore and some scam accusations (telegram scams) anyways in like 2 minutes i get added by @MonbuxBitcointalk, and he gives me the key a PGP key signed by him, BUT refuses to PM me here after i ask for an e-mail at least his messages goes to spam and i get anti fishing message, so I asked for PM or other confirmation and go refused, this 2 guys (I think the same) proceed to tell me no escrow will ever PM me etc, then we agree on another escrow tomatocage1 and i get an email from him and also - https://prnt.sc/v5ddrt, so I refused him too and asked for PM only or make a public topic deal, end of story - Sorry for the long read but it's my first try to deal here and i felt like sharing this  

This guy actually did quite well compared to most who just trust that everyone on Telegram is who they say that they are. Hopefully its the beginning of a trend.

I'd like to upgrade (downgrade?) my neutral trust to negative for DreamerBT but unfortunately Liberty_c has not provided any Telegram screenshots or other supporting evidence (thus far).

This is my new projection of how things are going this year, with the election (unsurprisingly) hinging on Florida:



If the polls are even slightly more accurate this time around then theoretically Florida should go to Biden, if only by a few chin hairs. Here is a link to the unadulterated electoral map as things currently stand:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/2020_elections_electoral_college_map.html

You can also create your own map scenarios here to fantasize how you think its going to play out:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/create_your_own_president_map.html

Right now I think its a genuine toss-up. The statistical probability that the election will be decided by as many or fewer votes as it was in 2000 is almost nil, but I think it will be the closest election we've had since then.

@ Liberty_c, Is it Possible to provide more screenshots of your telegram conversation with the scammer?

As much as I'd like to red tag him right now I agree that screenshots of the conversation are at least required. All the warning signs are there but some people will ignore all of them if the "-1" is not in front of their trust score. This guy (Rambotnic) has been doing this for years... what an idiotic waste of a lifetime.
3967  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] WAX - Worldwide Asset eXchange by OPSkins on: October 23, 2020, 09:14:46 PM
Hello, which blockchain is WAX Ethereum, EOS, or something else using?

WAX uses its own blockchain. It is independent from all other blockchains although it is based on EOSIO, which is what EOS uses.

While I think WAX is doing great things and has enormous potential in the future, it just doesn't make a whole of sense from an investment perspective at this point as the selling pressure continually outweighs that from those who are interested in buying it.

WAX is great -- don't get me wrong. Just a bit disappointed that its still falling during a bull market.

Hi got a telegram mesage from Monbux about escrow at @Bubuk_btc, can you confirm it is you?

If read 2 posts up from yours you'd have known that you were talking to a scammer.

I'm going to red tag Monbux until he closes this thread as a warning for those who talk with scammer impersonators on Telegram or email.

Some possess the ethos that it is better to let people be scammed as to let natural selection run its course and weed out the weak, but I am not such a person.

Fact: Monbux hasn't performed an escrow deal on the forum for a year and a half. Even though they log in from time to time their lack of communication in this thread renders them ipso facto inactive.

MONBUX IS NO LONGER AN ESCROW UNTIL THEY CONFIRM HERE OTHERWISE.

To the contrary, I know quite well how the feedback system works.

I suppose its possible to know how it works and still use it incorrectly, which is what you are doing. If you are going to tag somebody as a troll you should at explain how them being a troll makes them untrustworthy to trade with.

Your peremptory declarations about the One True Way to use the trust system are not a “community standard”; and I do not need your condescending and misguided advice about how to use the trust system.

Actually Royse's position here is in line with community standards for proper trust system use, though of course these standards are not universally agreed upon. The subject has been discussed at length: in addition to LoyceV's famous guide to the trust system, this topic by xtraelv is extremely sensible when it comes to appropriate issuance of red trust. You don't have to accept anybody's advice but if you want to rise up out of net negative territory on DT1 I suggest you at least consider it.

They either made the decision, or their is something wrong with them from an evolutionary/Darwinistic/mental health point of view..

Not true. Homosexuality exists because it is mandated by evolution, meaning evolution has dictated that a place for it exists. Its not a "problem" unique to human beings, either. Do you think gay lions also choose to be gay?

One of the psychiatrists I used to work for thinks that severe, organic mental illness like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is also the result of evolution as it actually makes people seem sexually appealing to at least a portion of the population, however small it may be. Homosexuality is likely the same thing as counterintuitive as it may sound -- it provides some value to the survival of the species, perhaps from a communal standpoint. If it didn't it wouldn't exist.

Its not like they are incapable of breeding. That would be an example of an actual problem.

The main problem for bears is that they have been fighting against the single most powerful entity in the known universe: the Federal Reserve. There's too many newly-printed dollars circulating about that need a home and at least a few billion of them were going to find their way into bitcoin, sooner or later.

1. The PayPal news is fantastic as it onboards a new audience into the world of bitcoin (kind of like the Cash App except 20x bigger and more important).
2. This is one of the first major steps toward crypto being directly integrated into a large economy of goods and services.
3. Crypto sold there may be non-withdrawable now but ideally that will change in the future -- this is what happened with eToro.

If PayPal never introduces a withdrawal (or even conversion) feature then I will be sad and yes it will be all for not, but I do not believe this to be the case.

4. I'm rooting for it for selfish purposes as right now its an absolute bitch to convert BTC into cash for me as crypto exchanges aren't legal where I currently live.

Finally. This is going to make my life a helluva lot easier.

If you're ever worried about spending your bitcoins (that's what they were made for after all -- to be spent), just remember that Lazslo's pizzas are now worth $122 million and there's no way you'll ever come close to being weighed down by that kind of regret!*  Cheesy

*I know he's actually made peace with himself, a long time ago, and his sacrifice renders him one of the biggest chads in all of bitcoin.

An other option would be a P2P trade, for example trough localbitcoins, but beware of scammers!

Yep, and as a brand noob, I highly suggest not doing a deal on this forum as this section is riddled with scammers. You may already have been contacted via PM by a scammer saying they can sell you bitcoin for cash... don't do it!

Your safest bet is a highly reputable crypto exchange as was mentioned earlier. In addition to Binance, Coinbase is a good place to go. It depends on where you live, how fast you need it, and how much you are looking to buy. Binance is the easiest on an international level in my experience. Coinbase is the best for those in the U.S. and Europe, so long as you don't mind providing them with KYC information.

From what I've heard the Cash App also works really well.

If Biden wins, the country will be run into the ground and things like mental illness will be shoved down our throats as normal;

Wait is mental health something people complain about being made aware of?

Well he said "things like mental illness" so I assume he's talking about neurological disorders, autism, and possibly MS or Parkinson's.

But bitcoin didn't always follow the market and it doesn't have to continue to do so in the future.
the thing is that bitcoin has never followed any other markets ever. just because there are handful of coincidences that make the two charts look similar on occasions isn't enough proof of "following" the other market.
the fact is that from the start of the market a decade ago, bitcoin market has been a unique and a stand alone beast of a market that moves on its own.

The thing is you're completely wrong about this as always and anybody with two honest eyeballs can see the obviously creeping correlation between the two. If you don't trust your eyes there are a number of ways to mathematically measure correlation, which I've already done several times and you've already dismissed several times.

Being in firm denial of something does not render it nonexistent.

For the thousandth time: the more highly invested Wall Street is in bitcoin, the stronger the correlation between market movements become. I honestly don't know how you can still deny this reality given what happened in March when the stock market and bitcoin crashed side-by-side.
