Congratulations to stake.com! I might not follow the UFC market, but hey, just a quick lookup and you can see that Adesanya is a big name, glad that they were able to be on terms with each other. Gonna follow his Twitter feed for a few weeks maybe, check out some interactions with Stake and him, and hey, who knows, might get sucked in into the UFC community. I'm rather free these past few months anyway, looking for something to enjoy.

4043  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: I am being mercilessly scammed by somone from the bitcoin world on: January 27, 2021, 12:24:11 AM
Put them on spam, or just directly change emails and avoid using your email to register onto random sites that may or may not even be legit, unless you're 100% sure they are. Don't even bother unsubscribing to them, as that could just also give them proof that you're still pretty active and would probably give them more opportunities to scam the hell out of you.
Do NOT click on any links in the emails as they will probably attempt to load malware on your system!
Then tag them as spam so they go into your spam folder to eventually be deleted.
I doubt it's what you said, nothing to do with malware. It's a phising attempt, they are trying to obtain usernames and passwords to access anything that can be related to OP (Wallets, exchanges, emails, accounts).

Just declare it as spam and be done with it, ignore any further emails that you may receive in the future.
It's completely possible though. A click could result in you downloading something in the background, I'm not just sure if the user would even be alerted of it or not. And with that download, hackers can easily access your pc, directly obtaining users and passwords and other details possible that is inside your pc.
4044  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hard to swallow pills about Bitcoin and Blockchain on: January 25, 2021, 12:40:51 AM
It isn't that odd or anything, People would naturally go towards the path that most take. A path that can easily make their lives a LOT easier and Bitcoin doesn't do that. From the time to learn how it works to manage your funds, to learning how exchanges work, or tl;dr, just issues that make you PERSONALLY do everything, people wouldn't really want to do it UNLESS they really need to. And since there's an alternative that can better improve their QoL, they'd go there. This is why my idea was always a coexistence between the two since people wouldn't really want something automated, something easy to use, to just disappear.

I also doubt that such issues would remain as an issue in the future anyway, Bitcoin has continued to stay true to its purpose and hasn't really strayed from that. Just the fact that it remained true to itself is a testament that it could go a long way, as long as people support it that is.

4046  Economy / Economics / Re: Biden do even bigger stimulus on: January 22, 2021, 10:49:51 AM
I'd rather they avoid doing another stimulus and instead approach the issue from a possible alternative point. As much as inflation could boost BTC price, it isn't really something I'd really want to experience, nor let others experience it. I won't be directly affected, yes, but there would still be some, and I honestly don't know how big those effects are, so I'd rather not take the risk.

Though it is indeed unavoidable at this point, I do hope Biden could do something to at least lessen the damages that it could bring. Hope he doesn't just think for his own interests.

Give up on trying to get back on your funds. You don't even try to know how once you get scammed tbh, to most of the time it's just impossible. If you were dealing with physical goods, maybe, but this is crypto, and it's on the internet, so it's really just impossible to get it back. As for reporting, well, there isn't really any organization you can report to but you can try to spread the word about the exchange being a scam. That's probably the limit of what you can do.
4048  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to Start Crypto Copy Trading and Get Profit Today? The Guide You’ve Been Loo on: January 21, 2021, 12:05:56 AM
If you don't know about doing a trade, then don't do trade.

I already see so many offer like this copy-trade, robot and other things all service ended witht he same situation losing his money customer but guess what the owner/company service still ask you money even you are on the losing position to pay the service.
Well, it is for a fact that you are using their services, so there's nothing odd about them asking for payment for it. If you started blaming them, then the problem starts with you since originally, you were the one that looked for them. The issue is that most people that adopt such services think they'd get a guarantee payment when trading itself is 50/50 most of the time.
If that's what most of the copy traders do but with what I have observed, they simply copy trade and leave their portfolio depending on that copied trader. It is needed to learn while copying others trade because not all of the time you'll just copy trade.
It's still very recommended to trade on your and make your own strategy which will benefit you. And in that case, you'll be the one that will be copied as you progress.
Well, it is called copy trading for a reason, and really, most of those that do that are just ignorant of trading and/or have no time to manage their own portfolio. If they're doing it as a sideline, it could be ignored, but if they were trying to learn how to trade? Copy trading isn't the key to that.
4049  Other / Off-topic / Re: If you will have 100 Billions of dollars on: January 20, 2021, 04:53:14 AM
The goal of everyone that has money is always to make more money since money basically takes care of most of their issues in life tbh. The first step on that progress is to take care of any issues that can be fixed with money, and only after that should people use the money to earn more money. A 100 billion is a huge amount, more than enough actually to support countless families and their descendants as long as spent properly. I'd make a plan of finance for the next few decades (possibly till I die) and then invest the rest to multiple assets possible.

2 years is too little of a time imo to guarantee you making 100 billion more, the fastest way possible is to take a lot of risks ofc, but the most guaranteed way would possibly be creating a company of your own and letting it grow.
4050  Economy / Economics / Re: Miami mayor considers investing in bitcoin with public funds on: January 20, 2021, 02:18:29 AM
It could be a direct benefit, but it can also be quite risky imo. Well, they're diversifying their portfolio so I guess the risk isn't that big, but well, it IS public funds, after all, they have to take into account all risks involved. It isn't an easy call I must say, though I do hope that they'd push it forward, at least it shows that some part of the government recognizes Bitcoin as a possible investment as well as a safe asset (since afaik, only private companies have done so?). Plus seeing as his attitude is "it'll only go up", I suppose it means that they are planning for a long term investment instead of a short term one.
4051  Economy / Exchanges / Re: No Identification to verify my account please help. on: January 20, 2021, 01:21:39 AM
Err from how I understood this, isn't it quite impossible to deposit to your bank account if you don't present an id of sorts. That, or you don't have an ID so you're looking for any other way to withdraw your coins. P2P is probably your best bet. I'd recommend you to look up a few digital wallets available in your country but that does require verification if you want to withdraw your money most of the time, so that may not really be a better alternative.
4052  Economy / Economics / Re: Are Cryptocurrencies Really Money? on: January 19, 2021, 08:16:18 AM
CBDC isn't really released or used for what it was supposed to be, so that's why the polls were made as such. It's money imo, the government would make it as such, and would also make the public realize it as such. In the end, money can be defined as a medium of exchange that the majority approves (or is approved by a governing body), and seeing as it's under the government, you can expect it to be like that. As for crypto being money, as I said, money is just in the end a medium of exchange agreed upon, so yes, you can technically say that the poll is naturally correct. Most issues arise from the difference of money(fiat) and crypto is mostly on how fiat is centralized while the latter is decentralized.
4053  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I predict stricter regulations for bitcoin and the cryptospace for 2021-2024 on: January 19, 2021, 07:12:29 AM
And I'd be glad to have them. At the very least, the government is acknowledging it, and this could (rather, most probably would) increase the knowledge of the populace with regards to cryptocurrency. At the very least, they simply wouldn't be ignorant of them, and well, hopefully, would have a shield against possible scams and the like (that the government would take notice of anyway).

But, here is what i want to know. How will the government regulates bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that are decentralized?
I guess it'd be ruling that doesn't really attack the core of what decentralized crypto is, but still possibly regulate it in an advantageous way for them. Quite vague, yes, but it can't be helped, crypto itself is quite young after all, it isn't that odd that rules and regulations have possible holes here and there.
4054  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How long will this scam go on? on: January 19, 2021, 04:35:53 AM
Unplug the internet for a bit in the entire world, it'd probably stop then. Kidding aside, it's close to impossible, trust me. It's like asking companies to stop making money, when in the first place the very reason a company was made is to, in one way or another, make money. Not to mention that some people have that sort of mentality that whatever they would make would probably be "infinitely" better than what is on the market right now.

Hey look on the bright side at least, the very fact that they're trying to create more coins to exceed what is at the top right now just goes to show how good/great the top coins are in the crypto scene.
4055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why would anyone use a betting broker? Have you tried it? on: January 19, 2021, 01:57:05 AM
The second reason is actually well used by others who don't have much access to gambling sites in their country. They may be a small population, but they are still possible customers. It isn't anything odd, nor is it anything that should be shunned imo. It's a perfectly reasonable service, and really, it's just up to you whether you want to use it or not. As for the issue of why brokers ask for so much money, well, I mean, who would want to do a job that only pays what, $10,$15 right? Brokers do their job seriously imo (the legit ones anw), and they put in a lot of effort into it, so I guess them dealing with big money is understandable.

Is it worth it? Well, it depends on your situation tbh. If you have the money, and not the time BUT you do want to bet, then feel free to do so. But if you can do it yourself and you wantto do it yourself, then do so.
4056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Changes of provably fair seeds in bitsler. on: January 19, 2021, 01:20:46 AM
Looks like an issue on their side. Probably just clearing things up or something, nothing to worry about especially since you're doing sports gambling and not casino gambling. If you're THAT fearful something happened, you can go check out bitsler's faqs about their provably fair system. You can read others, but there may be some differences here and there, but just to make sure anyhow.

There's also something here that says that they change your seed every 90 days of using your seed, so you can just go check on that if you indeed used it, but if not then no need to bother checking. You can still use your old seed as they said anyhow. Here's a link to their info about it:

4057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Large capital advantage? on: January 18, 2021, 07:07:28 AM
If you were to gamble online, or just regularly without any strategy, then there's no difference between a large or a small capital. However, if you were to coordinate with the casino owner (especially in physical casinos), there's a small chance that they may, just may, remove their house edge for the duration of your play. Though tbh, you'd need to spend an astronomers amount before they would even think of doing so, just so that you can play more. Still, this doesn't honestly mean much, since you'd still rely on luck to win. There were some instances of such examples, like the few people who won against gambling casinos iirc. Looked some samples back then which was why I saw it.
4058  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 22bet fraud on: January 18, 2021, 06:14:49 AM
Can't exactly see who's the authority behind it (the legality whatnot), so I'm afraid reporting isn't going to do anything. The era of the internet literally lets anyone create their own websites, whether it is legal or not after all. They can easily avoid being tracked with various methods, so it's always better honestly to look for where the site is located (their agency or something similar) before doing bets, as well as looking if they have a license to actually work. Simple things yes, but these simple things are the ones that can help you as well as many others from being scammed.
4059  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin price had not crashed in 2018 on: January 18, 2021, 04:39:39 AM
Well, I'd just suggest that it was not really your luck, no matter how many what-if situations one can think of, it doesn't change the fact that it would never happen if it's already way back in the past. Besides, blaming the crash for you missing the opportunity seems like an odd move, yes I understand your pain tbh, I myself felt it since I sold early for this bull run, but doesn't change the fact that we ourselves were the ones who failed to take advantage of the situation at hand.

Plus, history pretty much showed a constant growth every 4-year cycle, it isn't a guarantee yes, but hey, it's a metric you can take into account when you want to invest again.
4060  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Own only a small amount of bitcoin? Regardless, DON'T LOSE THEM. on: January 18, 2021, 02:15:19 AM
It doesn't take a genius tbh to realize that, especially with the current price of Bitcoin. But honestly, can you blame them? They had those coins way back in the years where crypto wasn't a thing, it wasn't even becoming one. It only rose up to attention after a few more years. It became prominent, yes, but it didn't have that assuredness that it would be one way back then. When I heard Bitcoin I just thought of it like "what's that?", and that was with my friend being all gung ho about it back then.
