Who said you can't do that here either?  Roll Eyes
Another interesting point in Portugal is that it was never banned. Therefore, everything can be done normally. This issue of taxes on profits obtained in the last year only exists at the moment - easy to deal with.

Either way, in this case you are right. If it is prohibited in the country, no exchange obtains information to give to the government. You will only have problems if you are caught in the act.

 Tongue
I didn't say you cannot do it there. But, you still have to pay taxes on your profit, right?
In this case, banned countries are a bit ahead of it  Grin. Anyway, living in a country where Bitcoin is allowed is like living with full freedom. Paying taxes on gain does not bother unless it's too much like India. I have heard that India applied a 30% tax on Crypto gains or similar things. I don't know the details, but it's ridicules.

The bolded part is the problem. I know it's the kind of problem you're hoping for, but if Bitcoin goes up enough and you're rich in Bitcoins, it sucks not being able to use it.

Well, there are some other ways to bypass it as well. If I gain enough from Bitcoin that make me rich, I will visit a country where Bitcoin is legal cash it out there, and send it to my country in a legal way. I have a friend who lives in the Middle east and Bitcoin is legal there. They could sell their Bitcoin earnings and send money home via bank transfer or western union.

If this happens in your country, you can come to Portugal.
That's why it's the "ideal country" for HOLD.  Cool

You may laugh after reading my posts. But, Bitcoin is best where it's banned.  Grin Grin
I am not kidding. I live in a 3rd world country and Bitcoin is banned here. So, there is no question of taxing anything related to Bitcoin. However the government does not have any way of knowing if I own Bitcoin or not. I never bought Bitcoin using banks. So, it's connected with any cryptocurrency-related platform. The only possibility to get caught is if they check my devices. But that is unlikely to happen. The authorities won't check person by person to see if anyone holds Bitcoin. If I want to cash out my Bitcoin, send it to someone and get bank transfer through apps and nobody is going to ask why they have transferred the money unless it's a big amount. So, Bangladesh is best for HOLD  Cool

I’ve been on the forum for at least 3years and my total time logged in is just about 51days.

Forum logged-in time surely affects your forum knowledge. If you have spent 51 days of login time on this forum, that's equal to 1224 hours and you have made a lot of posts. Now, Imagine that another user has spent 51 days of login time but they have not reached 100 posts yet. I believe that the user has similar forum knowledge as you. His rank as a Jr. member or Member does not mean he does not know anything about this forum. The guy spends 1224 hours on this forum scrolling and reading. I believe some users do not write anything but they read the forum posts and they are up to date with the historical events of the forum. You might have a different point of view. But, I respect that.

ভাই পাসপোর্ট অফিস হচ্ছে বাংলাদেশের সবচাইতে বড় দুর্নীতির জায়গা। আমার ছোট ভাইয়ের পাসপোর্ট করতে গিয়েছিলাম। ওর ১৮ বছর পূর্ণ হতে অল্প কিছুদিন বাকি ছিল। সম্পূর্ণ ফর্ম আমি নিজে ফিলাপ করেছি কোন ভুল নেই। কিন্তু যখন লাইনে দাঁড়িয়ে পেপার জমা দেওয়া হল তখন উনারা বলতেছে সমস্যা,বিভিন্ন সমস্যা দেখাচ্ছে। এমন কিছু সমস্যার কথা বলতেছে যা কোন মূলত সমস্যাই না। পরে আমি পাসপোর্ট অফিসের অফিসারের কাছে গেলাম উনিও বলল 18 বছর পূর্ণ হোক তারপর আসেন। অথচ 18 বছর আগে কি পাসপোর্ট করা যায় না?
পরে আমি পাসপোর্ট অফিসের এক দারোয়ানের সাথে কথা বললাম উনি বলল ২ হাজার টাকা দেন কোন কিছু লাগবে না। ২০০০ টাকা দিলাম। যে পেপারের জন্য সমস্যা বলতেছে উনি কিছুই নিল না শুধুমাত্র জন্ম নিবন্ধনের কপিটা সাথে নিল। কোন সিরিয়ালে দাঁড়ানো লাগলো না, উনি এসে হাতে একটা টোকেন দিয়ে বলল আপনি ছবি তুলতে যান। এই হচ্ছে বাংলাদেশের অবস্থা। এখন আমি মাঝে মাঝে ওই লোকের সাথে ডিল করে আমার এলাকার অনেকের পাসপোর্ট করে দিয়েছি যাদের একমাত্র আইডি কার্ড ছাড়া আর কোন কাগজপত্র প্রয়োজন হয় না 😁

ভাই আপনাদের জন্যই যত সমস্যা। পাসপোর্ট করার আগে কি আপনারা কোনো তথ্য চেক করেন না? একটা পাসপোর্ট করতে কি কি ডকুমেন্ট লাগে, কি কি লাগে না, সেগুলো না যেনেই যদি পাসপোর্ট করতে যান, তাহলে তো এমন হবেই। আর পাসপোর্ট এর ফরম আপনি হাতে পুরন করতে যান কেনো? অনলাইনে আবেদন করে সেখানে সরাসরি পেমেন্ট করে দিবেন। হাতে আপনি লিখবেন একটা, ওনারা এন্ট্রি দিবে আরেকটা। এতে আপনার কিছু করার থাকবে? এখন সব কিছু অনলাইন, ম্যানুয়ালি করতে গেলেন কেনো আপনি?

২ মাসের বাচ্চার ও পাসপোর্ট হয় শুধুমাত্র ডিজিটাল জন্মসনদ থাকলেই। ১৮ বছরের নিচে পাসপোর্ট করতে গেলে একভাবে করতে হয়, ১৮ বছরের ওপরে হলে আরেকভাবে করতে হয়। এখন ইউটিউবে দেখেই সব কিছু করা যায়। আপনারা সহজ পথে না গিয়ে বাকা পথে যান, আর দোষ দেন দেশের সিস্টেমের। আসলে সিস্টেমে কোনো সমস্যা নাই। সমস্যা হলো আমরা বুঝি না। আপনি সঠিক পথে গেলেই আর কোনো সমস্যা হয় না। আপনি সেই দারোয়ান কে দিয়ে কাজ করিয়ে তাদেরকে ঘুষ নেয়ার সিস্তেম তৈরি করে দিলেন। আমি আমার সহ ৪ টা পাসপোর্ট করেছি। কাউকে ১ পয়সা দেই নি। তো আমার তা কিভাবে হলো?

Not really. You can be a mindless shitposter and still make a decent income thanks to the fact that there are more spots in signature campaigns than there are quality members.

Who is to blame for that? The campaign managers who allow such users on their campaigns? Or to the posters who enjoy generating shit because they can make money for their spam? I would say it's the campaign manager. Stake generates massive spam in this forum allowing negative tagged users to their campaign. They ignore the neutral tag that was left for shit posting (actmyname feedback). Recently another manager started allowing such posters in their campaign.

Either the manager have to be forum friendly, or the forum have to be more strict. Stake recently launched another signature campaign for Sr members only which means more money for spammers. Some campaigns does not have earned merit requirements. Stake encourage account buy/sells by doing that.
407  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Who is newbie and how long does it take to navigate the forum? on: January 13, 2024, 07:08:43 AM
Second one: A user who registered two months ago and spent 7 days login time and earned around 250 merits in the last 60 days and made 500 posts.
This type of user is not a new member on the forum, maybe he is an old member hiding behind Newbie (that's my opinion based on the very fast progress achieved). He really understands how to get merit, his extensive knowledge about crypto and being very close to the forum makes it easier to find a way to get merit.
I would like to know more about this user. Why do you think he is an old user hiding behind a new account? We know that only posts earn merits for the user. If a new user is capable of generating good content, he should be able to earn quick merits. What's wrong with that? Did you see the two users I mentioned in the OP? What do you think about those users? user n0nce wrote 3400 posts and earned almost 6000 merits. He has earned his first 500 merits in less than 60 days. What do you want to say about it?

Quote
Third one: A user who has been there for six months and spent 25 days login time but made only a hundred posts but his rank is member or Jr. member.
This user is still unable to interact with the forum due to his limited knowledge, he is very careful when making posts with all the fears that are still bothering him. Maybe he spends more time reading than posting, he tries to absorb the knowledge spread here to increase his knowledge about crypto. Users like this are true newbies, they try to explore forums to expand their knowledge without rushing to rank up.
Why do you think they are a newbie when they have already spent 25 days of login time? When a user spends 25 days login time, that means he has spent 600 hours just reading the forum and he has only posted when he needed to ask something. It's better to say that the user has no interest in ranking up or earning merits. All he want is to learn more from this forum. That's why he spend 600 hours just reading the forum.

Do you think it is necessary to write post to get knowledge from the forum? Or just reading is well enough?
Reading is essential. You don't get a lot of knowledge from writing your own stuff; at least for me, it's a way to share my knowledge.
That's correct. I agree with that. But most of the people in this forum think differently. For example, if they see a person registered a few months ago but know about the forum, they accuse them of being of an alt account or not a genuine newbie. What do you want to say about it?

Quote
I've been a 'silent reader' (no account) in this and other places for a whole while before registering here, myself. I'm a big proponent of 'DYOR' and learning as much as you can from the plethora of information that's already out there, before asking a question for the thousandth time.
If this is the case for you, do you think this could be for other members as well? Do you think there could be more members who did the same as you? If people can read the forum without creating an account, is it necessary to create an account? Even though I have an account, sometimes I scroll the forum without even logging in on my mobile. I write from my desktop only. I also write from phone, but that's only when I am away from home. Thanks for sharing your opinion, n0nce.

If you want a forum without the freedom to advertise in your signature, you can literally choose from thousands of other forums. Go there, and see if it's better than Bitcointalk. If it is, you've found your new place to discuss online. If it isn't, you'll be back.
I agree with that. Bitcointalk allows you to make money while you are engaging in a genuine conversation. If someone generates spam and the campaign pays for that, it is the failure of that specific project. But, the the Signature campaign also has a good effect on the forum postings. People want to generate better content to earn merits, which helps them to reach ranks.

Quote
I expect that would end all campaigns that pay useless tokens, some campaigns that pay in Bitcoin but at very low rates (I can think of 2 old online casinos) and it would end the biggest Bitcoin paying spam campaign Stake (check the top 20 posters and see who pays most of them).

I guess the other one is bitvest. Stake has been doing it for ages now. I have seen an old thread where it was discussed before. The thing is, they do not have any merit requirements and they do not care if those members adding any value or not.

তারপর নিজে নিজেই অ্যাপ্লিকেশন করে ফর্মটা প্রিন্ট করে জাস্ট ইউনিয়ন পরিষদে জমা দিয়েছিলাম তার ৭ দিনের মাথায় ঠিক হয়ে গিয়েছে। আসলে আমরা সঠিক রাস্তাটাই চিনিনা এর জন্য আমাদের টাকা ঢালতে হয়, আর বলবেন যে আমি পারিনা অ্যাপ্লিকেশন করতে, এমন কিছু নাই যে করা যায় না আর ইউটিউবে এ ধরনের কাজকর্মের সকল কিছুই পাবেন।
যাক ভাই আপনি ভালো একটা কথা বলেছেন পাসপোর্ট এর কথা বলে, কারণ আশেপাশের দোকানগুলোর সাথে অনেক সময় দালালদের লিংক করা থাকে দরকার পড়লে তারা নিজেরাই দুই একটা জিনিস ভুল টাইপ করে দিবে। পরবর্তীতে ওইটার জন্য আপনার পাসপোর্ট আটকে যাবে তারপর টাকা দেওয়া ছাড়া আর উপায় থাকবে না। আমি নিজেও ভাবতেছি আমার একটা পাসপোর্ট তৈরি করব, আমার এক বন্ধু করেছে ভালো একটা এমাউন্ট দালালকে দিতে হয়েছে।

শুধু এগুলোই না, যে কোনো সেবার জন্য অনলাইনে আবেদন করা যায়। আমি সেদিন পাসপোর্ট এর পুলিশ ভেরিফিকেশনে কাগজ জমা দিতে গিয়েছি, তো নাগরিক সনদ চেয়েছে যেটা করানো ছিলো না, অনলাইনে সকল তথ্য পুরন করে ৩৪ টাকা বিকাশে পেমেন্ট করে দিয়ে ইউনিয়ন অফিসে এন আই ডি নিয়ে গিয়েছি, আর সচিব কে বললাম যে আমি অনলাইনে আবেদন করেছি এই নামে। এন আই ডি রেখে আমাকে প্রিন্ট করে দিয়ে দিলো। একই কাজ আমি ইউনিয়ন অফিসে করাতে গেলে বলবে সার্ভার নাই, হেন নাই ত্যান নাই। আর সেখানে এটার জন্য সর্বনিম্ন ১০০ টাকা নিবে। আমি জানি না কতো নেয়। তবে আমার খরচ হলো মাত্র ৩৪ টাকা। সঠিক ভাবে সকল সেবা পেতে হলে সকলকে সচেতন হওয়া অত্যান্ত জরুরী।

পাসপোর্ট এর ব্যাপারে বলবো, নিজে থেকে নিজের পিসিতে বসে আবেদন করুন। সাবমিট করার আগে সকল তথ্য বার বার করে দেখে নিবেন। দোকান থেকে করলে ওনারা ইচ্ছে করেই আপনার পাসপোর্ট এ ভুল করে দিবে। যেটা পরে সংশোধন করা অনেক বেশি ঝামেলার কাজ। আমি আমার পরিবারের সকলের এবং এক ছোট ভাইয়ের পাসপোর্ট করেছি। সরকারি ফি বাদে ১ টাকাও খরচ করতে হয়নি। সমস্যা হলো মানুষ আগে থেকেই ভয় পেয়ে দালালের কাছে চলে যায়।

Op is somehow wrong and he needs to understand that. For the fact that someone registered here and decided to keep updating their account is not necessarily mean that the person actually is a newbie. He might be a newbie in the forum but not to Bitcoin or the Crypto at  large. It is important for us to know how to go about figuring who is a newbie and who is not. The writing style of someone especially when they have so much knowledge in cryptocurrency do not actually make them newbies to the forum.

Would you mind pointing out where I am wrong? Would you mind correcting me, please? Your post is full of contradictions. At first, you said I was wrong and I needed to understand something. But, you have pointed our several things that match my idea. I didn't even say what I think in the OP. So, how did you know that I was wrong? If you think so, I would love to correct myself. Would you mind helping me?

This is a Bitcoin forum and I don't think the ideas in here are conserved.. there are actually so many forums that share the same ideas like we do in here - so there's every possibility that someone would know much about Bitcoin and you don't, newbie or not. All they gotta do is to be INFORMATIVE.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

Exactly. For example, when I registered to this forum, I was a newbie here but I had other forum experiences like Hacksforum and nulled. But the fact is, those forums are mostly operated to make money and people do unethical things to make money. Scammers everywhere. Even though Bitcointalk do not moderate scams, still it has one of the best system to prevent scammers.

I have successfully wasted almost half an hour reading all those things. As far as I understand, OP does not tell the whole story. It happens in most cases which makes them look like innocent victim. There is no reason for someone to create a 2nd account to place bets if they do not have any intention to bypass the limit. Creating an account because they cannot make transactions with some exchanges is just an excuse.

Usually, I never speak against players and do not take sides of the casinos. I like to examine the case first. In this case, it does not look for the OP. I am sorry if you are a innocent victim. But, it does not look good to me.
413  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Finally ETF approved on: January 11, 2024, 09:25:09 AM
Even though Bitcoin ETF is not finally approved. But the title does not match with the news OP shared. I thought it was fake news because we have been seeing such fake news all around and the market movement as well. The previous fake tweets created a huge movement on the market but when the real approvals happened, we haven't seen any massive movement yet.

It's nice to know that US finally approved Bitcoin ETF. Now, if these companies start collecting Bitcoin from the market, it will affect the market. But, if they don't, there won't be any significant changes. But, I am positive with Bitcoin at this moment.

২০২১ সালে অনলাইনে বুস্টিং এর জন্যে পাসপোর্ট করতে জেয়ে প্রতিটা ধাপে ধাপে হয়রানির শিকার হইছিলাম, আমার এন আই ডি কার্ডে নাম একটু ভুল ছিলো এই জন্যে জন্ম বিবন্ধন করা লাগছিলো, এটা করতে ৩দিন ঘুরাইছিলো। পরে ১হাজার টাকা দিসিলাম এক দিনেই হয়ে গেছিলো। এন আই ডি সংশধন করতে বলেছিলো ৩মাসের আগে হবেনা। পরে যখন ২হাজার টাকা দিলাম ২৪ ঘন্টাও লাগেনি এন আই ডি ডাউনলোড করার মেসেজ দিয়ে দিসিলো। আর পাসপোর্ট একবারেই জমা নিয়েছিলো, কারন আগেই দালাল ধরছিলাম অখানেও ৩হাজার টাকা এক্সট্রা লাগছে।

সমস্যা তো ভাই হবেই। যখন মেম্বার চেয়ারম্যান এর নির্বাচন হয়, তখন পাবলিক চা পান খাওয়ার জন্য টাকা চায়। তারা কি জানে না যে এই লোক মেম্বার হলে এই টাকা আমার কাছ থেকেই সুধে আসলে সব নিয়ে নিবে? ইউনিয়ন অফিস একটা হয়রানির আখড়া হয়ে গেছে। তবে আপনি নিজে সতর্ক হলে এরা কিছুই করতে পারবে না। কিভাবে সতর্ক হবেন? আমাকে দেখেন আমি কিভাবে কি করেছি।

বাচ্চা জন্ম নেয়ার ৪০ দিনের ভেতরে জন্মনিবন্ধন আবেদন করতে হবে। এবং সেটা করার জন্য আপনার এলাকার কমিউনিটি ক্লিনিকে যেখানে টিকা প্রদান করে, সেইখানের সেবিকা বা ম্যাডাম নিজেরাই সেই আবেদন পুরন করে নিয়ে যাবে। অযথা যদি দেড়ি করেন, সেটার জন্য আপনাকে হয়রানি হতে হবে। আমি ৪০ দিনের ভেতরেই আবেদন করেছি এবং কিছুদিন পরেই আমার মোবাইলে জন্ম নিবন্ধন এর মেসেজ চলে এসেছে। আমাকে আলদা কোনো টাকা খরচ করতে হয়নি।

এখন প্রতিটা কাজই অনলাইন। কিছুদিন আগে আমার নিজের জন্মনিবন্ধন ইংরেজি করার প্রয়োজন পরেছিলো। আমি নিজেই অনলাইনে আবেদন করে দোকান থেকে প্রিন্ট করে ইউনিয়ন অফিসে জমা দিয়ে এসেছি। ১২০ টাকা লেগেছিলো মনে হয়। পরে গ্রাম পুলিশ দিয়ে পাঠিয়ে দিয়েছে।

পাসপোর্ট করার জন্য কখনোই কোনো দালাল ধরবেন না। আর পাসপোর্ট অফিসের আশে পাশে যেসব দোকান থাকে, সেগুলো থেকে আবেদন করবেন না। তারা সব একই গোয়ালের গরু। আমার এবং আমার পরিবারের সকলের পাসপোর্ট এর আবেদন আমি নিজেই করেছি এবং সকল কাজ নিজে করেছি। এবং কোনো প্রকার ঝামেলা ছাড়াই সবার পাসপোর্ট হাতে পেয়েছি। আমার বাচ্চার পাসপোর্ট এর আবেদন নিজে করে একটা দোকানে দকেহিয়ে জিজ্ঞেস করেছিলাম, ভাই দেখেন তো ঠিক আছে কি না। সে বললো যে ভাই এটা হবে না। নতুন করে করতে হবে। আমি তার কথা না শুনে সেটাই জমা দিয়েছি। এবং পাসপোর্ট ও হাতে পেয়েছি। তার মানে সেই লোক কিছু ধান্দা করতে চেয়েছিলো। দেশটা আসলে এমনই। আমাকে আপনাকে সচেতন হতে হবে।

How long it should take for a newbie to navigate the forum? Given the forum boards/sub boards has well detailed description. How long it should take for a newbie to know some historical events? For example, How long it should take for a newbie to know that satoshi is inactive, Lauda is not here anymore, TECHSHARE died, light_warrior died, Ratimov's fall down and some other things (Not everything at once).
I don't know, but I don't even know if that really matters. Why do you think it's important to (quickly?) learn about forum events and historical facts? I'm interested to hear the motivation behind the question. I'd say let everyone discover the forum at their own pace.. Wink

If you ask me the same question I have asked, I would say it depends on how interested the person is, depends on how much time they spend on the forum, and how much they read the topics. No on how much they have posted and how many merits they have earned. I know a lot of members who have been there for ages but they have earned only a few merits in the last five years but they know almost all the historical events. I know some members who have been active since I joined and they were not able to earn 50 merits in the last year but there are some opposites too. A lot of members earned more than 500 merits in a year.

You have asked me what is the motivation behind the question. This is just came to my mind because I saw a lot of people were accused of being alt accounts or they know too much about the forum even though they did not spend a lot of time here in the forum. My question is, how do they know that how long the person spend online each day? There was a time when I didn't post anything but I have browsed the forum all day. Do you think it is necessary to write post to get knowledge from the forum? Or just reading is well enough?

Thanks to @Learn Bitcoin who made the donation, now @FeeBuddy has a Copper Membership!!

I will set everything up to post the images in a few days, using talkimg.

I will see if I can improve the image with some kind of chart too! Like ChartBuddy

I am glad that I was able to be a minor part of a great start.
Everyone could help with their extra ordinary coding skills and other knowledge but I don't have something like that. So, there is a less chance for people like me to be a part of a historical start. I am very much happy that I was able to help. I hope FeeBuddy will continue to stay around and update us Smiley

Second one: A user who registered two months ago and spent 7 days login time and earned around 250 merits in the last 60 days and made 500 posts.

This one is probably to be an alt account.

May I know what is the reason for that thinking? Do you think people with less experience in this forum are unable to read and write or what? Why do you think people who earn quick merits are alt accounts? What about the people I mentioned in the OP? I understand they have some extra ordinary skills, which is why they have earned many merits. But don't you think a person could have experience in other forums and know these things works? Don't you think people with less experience in this forum has a good writing capabilities?

I forgot another important thing which I mentioned in the title but didn't write in the OP.

If it's South Asian country like Bangladesh or Pakistan where Bitcoin is banned, he is likely to destroy himself by accepting Bitcoin as a payment method. Corruption is rocket high here. Almost every other government employee knows about Bitcoin and they even use Bitcoin for their benefits. But, when they want to destroy someone's life, they accuse them of being a Bitcoin user. Which is illegal and Bitcoin users could be considered as criminals because of that.

I often see news like where a group of people were arrested because they were buying selling crypto. They get arrested under money loundering law and then they tie up many others law like they were buying selling drugs with crypto etc etc. The government are always negative about crypto. So, I would suggest not to use crypto in public at all.

For example, I was searching about the Bitcoin timelock feature and how it works, and I found a thread where the writer wrote a great tutorial and mentioned that it is just a detailed version of TryNinja's post. https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@daan/how-to-create-time-locked-transactions-with-bitcoin-free-bitcoins-inside I felt proud when I saw that the Bitcointalk post was referenced. Often I see people tweet historical events and give Bitcointalk links as references. That's where new users come to this forum. Sometimes, I see a new user registered just to write one reply and then they never come back to this forum. But they get a couple of merits for their post. They were a newbie to this forum. But, they are not newbie on some specific field.

Most of the websites allow guest posting. So, whenever you see an article on news websites, that does not mean it was posted by their official authors. The article could come from a random crypto researcher who does not have enough knowledge about it. But those websites still allow them to publish articles.

This is not a good idea to take a position based on those articles. Most crypto newbies usually follows news websites, twitter influencers and Youtubers which they should not do. so, not only cointelegraph, but no one should take any websites articles seriously to trade. They should do their own research.
