Hey man! I'm very glad that people are no longer reporting your posts and that the moderators are not deleting them, although if I'm being honest, the only reason I didn't report your post is because you made me laugh.

On the other hand, I'm going to lock the thread, since I've already read some opinions on the subject and I think this is enough. I don't think it's worth giving the matter much more thought especially since, as I said in the OP, the moderators do a great job.

Sorry about not checking for plagiarism before. I just took for granted that it was an alt account. I couldn't have imagined someone so dumb as to create a thread in meta plagiarizing a bitcointalk post.

I think you have made a good summary, and although I knew more or less the story, I didn't know it with all the details as you have summarized it. Another thing is that I don't believe that you are a brand new member.

Edited to say that I have given you a merit because I think that just because you are an alt of someone on the forum should not preclude seeing that you have done a good summary and that it will have taken you time.


Yeah. He wil probably get fewer merits than if he was a brand new member but I though he deserves at least one.

Lol. What strikes me about this case is that he is a Legendary member and does not wear a signature. What a way to ruin an account.


It seems that lately they are adapting and no longer copy directly but change the words to make it more difficult to find plagiarism.

By the way, I reported skrimon and Rupok365 on December 28 and and they don't seem to have been banned. Is it because of the end of the year weekend or am I looking at it wrong and they have been banned?

Call me conspiracy theorist if you want but I don't quite believe you are a brand new member.

On the other hand, I don't know why you post this thread here. Spammers don't come here much and those of us who do come here already know more or less that information.

Looking for merits for your alt?

There is one thing I don't understand. You want to maintain privacy but you give a reward in Bitcoin to get back something that belongs to your family? People are going to know that that Bitcoin is owned by someone in your family. Otherwise, who would give that reward?

On the other hand, do you think there are many people in those rural towns who know about Bitcoin? But well, let's assume that there will be someone in the village among the younger people who understands it and can communicate it to the rest. Yes I would publicize it through as much media as possible, Craigslist, Facebook and whatever else you can think of. In the time I have been on the forum I don't remember anyone saying they were going to give a bounty for anything like that. If you finally do it tell us how it goes.

In my case, I don't care because I don't trade in the short term. If I believed in what you say I would have firmly bought on December 31 to sell at the end of the week, also taking into account that I would not have to pay taxes on the sale for another 15-18 months.

But the regularity you quote is may be due to purely statistical variability and does not seem to be based on underlying events, as out fella says:

I congratulate you because it seems that you are accomplishing what you set out to do, but I miss something more than the monetary aspect. For example: you could have said that you are going to learn more about the technical aspects of Bitcoin or that you expect to reach Hero member in X time (approximate).

To go back to what you are saying, if your goal is to accumulate, I would recommend that you do not trade, which for most people is like playing roulette, and do not gamble either. Even if you gamble small amounts, casino games have a negative mathematical expectation. Better to squander fiat and stack any sat you can. Saving as much Bitcoin as you can is a boring but very safe way to build wealth compared to the thrills of trading and gambling.

I also have doubts on his regrets, I am not in the habit of believing what people say in the forums, especially if there are things that don't add up, as you point out.

But let's assume that what the OP says is true. What I would say to him and anyone else in his situation, is that before he invests a single penny again, that he should be clear about why he wants to invest, for how long and above all I would remind him to do it with money he doesn't need.

The argument of whether the price has gone up or down some more does not hold water. It would be better to think that one wants to invest in Bitcoin because he has understood its decentralized, limited, autonomous, uncensurable nature, its ability to store and transfer large amounts of wealth and at the lowest cost and that for these reasons he wants to invest in it with money he does not need. That way the OP instead of thinking about selling what he would have thought is to buy more, and would not have opened this thread and would have opened another one telling us how wonderful is the DCA Bitcoin.

Etc. Yes, I agree with those of you (most) who don't believe it. It is fake. Here is another example like the one in this thread:

my version of honesty

In that the OP, inspired by EZ0010's story opened that thread, I think in the hope that he would get merit and recognition for how cool he is. It backfired on him and he ended up negative tagged.

In the case of this thread, I don't give them the benefit of the doubt, if they tell such an unbelievable story the burden of proof is on them, so the story is fake until proven otherwise.


Me neither, another thing that reinforces that the story is fake.

As far as finances are concerned, I am facing the year quite well, the only thing I have to control is not to spend too much. In terms of income and net worth I am above the average where I live for the age I am. With that I am satisfied, although sometimes I buy lottery as I said in another thread and if I won a jackpot I would travel around the world for a while and things like that. But I am not complaining at all about my current situation. I simply have to continue as I am doing now, which allows me to have relatively high superfluous expenses such as leisure, but I have to control it, because it's very easy to spend money and sometimes you end up wasting it.

For every one like that there are more than 99% who lose money in the lottery in their lifetime. If you add up what they have won, which are usually withdrawals and small prizes, and subtract what they have spent, the vast majority lose money.

Try this lottery simulator and you will understand:

The lottery is basically an EV game, what happens is that since for a derisory amount it can change your life, many of us play, and I include myself, in spite of the fact that the mathematics are against us.

As for whether it is addictive, it is much less so than other game modes, even now that you can buy it online.

I too wish you and the rest of the forum a happy new year. As for what you say, I think it has been more remarkable for the former than the latter. The price has left much to be desired, everyone expected to have reached much higher.

Now we are facing a 2022 where some think the highest price of the cicle has already been hit and there won't be a new ATH until next halving, and others think this cycle is somewhat delayed and we will pass 100K this year. The bitcoin haters I don't take into account.

Well, I as in other cases, I am always open to change my support to flag. I didn't leave feedback, but I think if I remove support for the flag, I will leave at least neutral if not negative feedback.

This seeing that bl4nkcode is wanting to collaborate in a similar way as crwth did. The problem is that I think he had more responsibility, and he has many previous positive feedbacks for acting as escrow. This has to be compensated, and even he has recognized that an escrow should not act like that:

Me neither. This happens in all threads as pages advance: conversation "A" is mixed with "B" and "C", which are related. But as we are advancing in the alphabet, the conversation has less to do with the main one, which is "A". That is, conversation "B" is clearly related to "A", "C" is clearly related to "B" but not so much to "A", "D" is related to "C" but has even less to do with "A", which is the main topic of the thread.

The problem that I perceive as arbitrary is when me and naim027 get two replies deleted, let's say they are "C" or "D", and I report two replies that are also clearly "C" or "D" and the reports remain as "unhandled" which makes me perceive arbitrariness or unfair unequal treatment.

Hi Best_Change!

I would like to change the address where I receive payments. From now on I wish to receive them in the following one:

Happy 2022 to you and to all Best Change signature campaign colleagues!

 

I am talking about feelings and perceptions here, so not something objective.

I am sure nutildah was pissed off for what he perceived as, I don't know if arbitrary, but I am sure that he perceived as unfair.

I remember seeing a psychiatrist on a TV show who specialized in criminal cases. He said that very rarely did criminals recognize that they had done something wrong. The one who raped a girl would find reasons to justify that she wanted to, or that she sexually provoked him. The murderer, why the victim deserved it, etc.

I had heard the second part, that it was the excess of leverage (liquidated at the minimum) that prevented us from reaching the expected blow off top for this time of the year. I think I heard it from CryptosRUs. And it seems to me that he is right. Doing only 3.5X from last cycle's ATH is not thanks to excessive leverage, excessive leverage is to blame for it.

 I too was having a hard time understanding why a bank would want to shoot itself in the foot (from a traditional banking point of view) until I read this:


Apart from that:


What you say is very unlikely. What we are seeing here is the exception and not the norm. This is a special kind of bank, but big banking if it adopts Bitcoin is going to be to offer custodial services, Bitcoin-backed loans, etc. Precisely the Bitcoin originated against big banking, who, in addition to central banks, can also create money out of thin air thanks to the fractional reserve system.
