I think this should be taken case by case. I still trust Lauda, despite some differences with him, but he has performed excellently with tagging old scammers. And sometimes I even trust people who have not been around for a while, like @Johoe. Therefore, trust varies and not everyone trusts people just because they are reliable or because everyone adds them. (For example, most people add @theymos for nothing other than he is admin)

In some cases, such as TMAN, despite the negative trust he left for BEST_CHANGE, this should not be the only reason for not trusting him.

hmm I am older 66 which means I have less time left then I did when I got here in 2012.
Don't remove me when I am gone I would prefer to stay here with my trusts and distrusts left as they are.
I trust you and as long as I am DT1 you will remain on that list (I hope others don't remove you)

It is getting a bit harder to do the physical work I do mining ⛏️ but reading posting and looking at what others do is still something I want to do.

The US will pay you 5.5% to lend them money for a year.

But with a ~$2 Trillion deficit, those interest payments will come from... issuing more debt.

If that sounds normal to you, perhaps I can interest you in some Argentine bonds that pay 118%

That meme kind of looks like phil...

#justsaying

Fuck off I am left handed not right handed.

at watche I have posted about 46000 posts.

about 2500 are deleted.

I did the 46000 posts in 11 years and 1 month about  10 posts a day.

buddy does 24 a day.

he gains 10 to 14 every day so in 100 days he will gain 1000 posts.

my lead is 880 so at best I last 100 maybe 120 days.

It could happen in under the 88 days.

that would  be day dec 3 to jan 30 buddy becomes the king.

Well not my problem and some programmer is going to be in trouble for the error.
Do you still think it is an error or a set up plan by those companies?

Makes you wonder how a company of such size($2.4 billion as per Forbes) makes such an amateur mistake. Like, probably just having a second person(which I'm pretty sure they can afford) to double check the transaction setups will mitigate such mistakes.
Weeks ago, it was reported after analysis that it is error from an software which is responsible for processing transactions automatically. I doubt that it is an error but an intentional setup to create some fud on the market.

I agree with you that if it is an error by automatic processing, why it happened when Bitcoin need to be dumped by whales?

If it is not automatic error, but manual error, a big company must have double check or even tripple check when proceed transactions especially such very big transaction.

Its an error. I mention my small mining pool with a small chance of hitting that block. But there are many unknown miners maybe 10% of all hash goes to unknown miners. This means they had a ten percent chance of never seeing that money.

Or a huge hassle to get it refunded.

Like I mentioned I would need a lawyer if my little pool hit it.

I likely would put 8 of the 19 btc in an escrow account until I and the other miners were sure we have no USA tax issues refunding it.

Some people mine fully anonymous if they hit the refund would not have happen.

It makes it plain and simple error. Shame on them for poor security.

If the send wallet had only 5 btc the worse mistake would be only 4.99 btc

I have had over 20000 pm's more than 1000 pages of them.

I deleted a lot of them but still have 800 pages of pm's


I would love to be able to find ways to manage them better than I do now.

But I am not sure if a subject title would help much.

It brings about an interesting issue. They were a business to business setup.

f2pool is large company.
paypal is large
paxos is large.

If you solo mine or mine at a few small pools there is no pool wallet coins are simply few direct to the miners.

I am U.S.A. based miners. I mine at this pool

https://pool.laurentiapool.org/#/miners
https://pool.laurentiapool.org/#/work

if we had hit it those coins go directly to us not to a pool wallet

I would have received 9.6 coins about 7.2 would have been a mistake
another miner would have received about 11.5 coins about 8 would have been a mistake
the third miner would have got 4 coins about 3 would have been a mistake

If I refund those coins 7.2 I would need quite a lot of assurance from PayPal and paxos that 194k of taxable income goes on their books not mine. I would need to create a legal agreement to refund them.

Well not my problem and some programmer is going to be in trouble for the error.

https://coinatory.com/cryptocurrency-news/robert-kiyosaki-forecasts-13260/

Robert Kiyosaki, best known for his book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ recently expressed optimism about the role of cryptocurrencies in the future of finance. The author anticipates that Bitcoin could surge to $120,000 in the coming year and cautions about an impending economic crisis, suggesting that digital currencies could serve as financial refuges.

Kiyosaki took to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, ahead of the TOKEN2049 crypto conference scheduled for September 18-19, to share his bullish views on cryptocurrencies. He believes that traditional forms of money, particularly the U.S. dollar, are nearing obsolescence. He’s also confident in Bitcoin’s ability to recover from market slumps, attributing potential price increases to the upcoming halving

Labeling fiat money as ‘criminal,’ Kiyosaki advocates for investment in assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin to protect against the devaluation of the currency, which he foresees resulting from the massive influx of capital into the economy and ensuing inflation. He also criticizes the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve for their persistent money printing. Predicting a significant downturn in the U.S. economy, Kiyosaki urges investors to view cryptocurrencies as a bailout from government recklessness in economic management.

event.

Despite his claim that green energy initiatives negatively impact the middle class, available data contradicts this assertion. Bank of America has calculated that the Biden Administration’s climate policies under the Inflation Reduction Act have already generated over 86,000 new jobs in clean energy, including 50,000 in the electric vehicle sector, with an additional 1.5 million jobs expected in the next ten years.

There are many similarities between the sentences in OP's thread and the original source, I'm a newcomer here and don't know many things (maybe I missed some rules), but is this not considered plagiarism even though OP has included the original source?


he should have quoted it is more of an unintended error


quote
source
1 paragraph
2 paragraph

4 paragraph
quote

would have been fully proper.
his title for the thread does indicate that its a quote.

but technically he formatted wrong.

4093  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: September 18, 2023, 03:00:23 AM
buddy sandwich setup.

a 1 oz drink of vodka has no effect if you don’t add carbs as a mixer.

a 4 oz glass of wine has carbs.


my issue with wine is no one drinks in my house.

So buying a good bottle of wine and drinking 4 oz a night means six days of having a drink. that will spike my sugar

Drinking 1 or 2 oz of quality vodka on sunday night watch8ng pillow talk with the wife won’t spike the carbs more than ½ day even less.

So I have a few vodkas or scotch shots on sunday night.

The funny thing is that maybe Coinex is scrapping for all the dust they can find now, without ViaBTC those consolidations might be something they really can't afford after that hack. Or maybe it's ViaBTc sending everything they can find to cover the balance sheet!

Could also just be cleanup after the hack. Look we have coins in 1000s and 1000s and 1000s of addresses. Lets put them all into cold storage instead of having to move them all over the place for when people withdraw.

We have seen other exchanges do it. It's just amazing that so many exchnages let it get this bad.

-Dave

I am also interested to see if viabtc will allow my auto withdrawal.

I will post back if we get it.

There are several scenarios, a country could forbid the banks to process fiat transactions related to the trades of cryptocurrency because they don't have the needed infrastructure to combat money laundry, market manipulation etc, but they wouldn't put their citizens in jail if they are just "holding/owning bitcoin" or if they are getting paid in bitcoin.

2)Another scenario is when a country forbids, mining, trading, accepting, paying and owning crypto in general because they are simply idiots.


So when you are unable to easily buy and sell crypto by using your bank account is because idiots rule over you.

To qualify this I bolded the truer ban case.


Thats a full on ban.
