In this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5375333.msg58608133;boardseen#new

people mention a supposed ban on personal wallets but I can't find any recent news about it.

The news broke in July:

A blow to Bitcoin? Europe plans to ban anonymous crypto wallets.

So, I don't know what the **** is going on.

Can't remember when I had to solve captcha to login to Bitcointalk last time. I clicked to always stay logged in, so I can't answer your question.

The real, real solution is to never log out, though I have to assume OP knows that and for whatever reason can't remain logged in forever. 

I don't know why, but I had the idea that for security reasons it is better to log out and log in. Can anyone confirm if there is no problem with this?

Saying he is a clown with your spelling projects the psychological phenomenon of inversion: accusing others of what you are.

Saylor will have his faults but you are not even fit to tie his shoelaces.

4324  Other / Meta / What is happening with the CAPTCHA? on: December 03, 2021, 11:40:50 AM
I don't know if it's just me, but the last 5-6 times I've logged into the forum, the CAPTCHA has been a pain in the ass. Right now it's taken me about 5 tries. I've selected in a way that I thought was obviously correct and it said it was incorrect and I had to try again.

Has anyone else had this happen?

4325  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How does Open Interest can determine the bitcoin prices ? on: December 03, 2021, 07:46:29 AM
I have recently come to know that the On chain data "Open Interest"  in futures market is very useful and it can determine the bitcoin next move.

Can anyone tell details about Open Interest, where this data can be fetch (free of cost) ?
Also how does this data works like when the Open Interest is high and when it is low and how can we use this data effectively in our trades.



Yeah, sure. Crystal ball 2021 version.

If you're going to say things like the ones I've put in bold, you'd better provide compelling arguments for it.
4326  Other / Meta / Re: how improve rank?? on: December 03, 2021, 06:58:28 AM
I don't have much hope for the kind of forum member who opens threads like this.

A good system for this type of user is to open a thread about the merit system in the B&H section. It is not the most advisable if we want him to become a good user of the forum, but it usually works for them.
4327  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin resistance and support price on: December 03, 2021, 06:54:33 AM
Hopefully, the bearish trend will change into a bullish trend sooner or later but we do not know how long this will be over.

What is clear is that either the trend changes soon and the price starts to go through the roof, or we will be able to say with certainty that the many predictions we saw this year that gave a minimum of $100K for this year were wrong. In some cases there is already talk that we have reached the top that we are not going to pass.

In 2022 we enter uncharted territory. If the price path were similar to previous cycles, we can't expect much, but with Bitcoin you never know, maybe next year it will give us a considerable increase.


4328  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin allows tax evaders, Please pay attention.... on: December 03, 2021, 06:50:28 AM
I don't see much point in the thread. The OP talks about tax evaders as if everyone who evades taxes does so in large quantities. There are plenty of people who don't declare small amounts because they know it's virtually impossible to get caught and prefer to save on taxes. So to those people, what the OP says about lifestyle does not apply.

And the big evaders already know enough and have tax advisors and lawyers, so I don't think they care much about what the OP says on the subject.


4329  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Home Economics TV show mentions payment in “crypto” on: December 03, 2021, 06:46:26 AM
It is clear that the shitcoin market is going to remain and has a lot of growth potential, however much those of us who only buy and hold bitcoin because it seems essentially different to us, believe that there is no shitcoin is even fit to tie Bitcoin's shoelaces.

What is clear to me is that the top ten shitcoins will continue to change, as it has been doing in recent years, with the most stable one up there being Ethereum, but Bitcoin will always be at the top.

4330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you guys think 0.1BTC is enough to "make it"? on: December 02, 2021, 07:18:20 AM
Mansion in my country with current price need at least 2 Bitcoin. Because in town a normal house can cost 1 coin and it is right depends on what country and location of the house. My house if price now need 0.3 BTC at current price, maybe if price can increased x2-x3 from now, people who hold 0.1 BTC can buy house in village because still cheap.

To me what's funny about this whole debate, and specifically the OP's idea of the Mansion is that he doesn't mention maintenance. Even if that amount gives you enough to buy a mansion, on an average salary it doesn't give you anywhere near enough to maintain it, meaning you're going to have to sell it, and probably for a lower price than you bought it for. You wouldn't be the first person to win the lottery and that happens to you.

More generally, that amount will hopefully have a much higher purchasing power in the following cycles, but the worst thing you can do is to spend it on a fancy thing, better to spend small parts, that way you don't eat your net worth and you can enjoy the profits.
4331  Economy / Speculation / Re: Massive amount of panic in TradFi markets…. on: December 02, 2021, 07:04:07 AM
The SP500 is down only 5% ...

SP500 dipped 2%...

I don't know where you get that from. I've been investing in the S&P 500 regularly for quite a few years now, doing DCA, and I don't see anything striking in the behavior lately.

Yesterday the S&P 500 was down 1.18%, so I don't know where you get 2% and 5% from.

If the spirit of your post is that the market is somehow overheated and we will probably have a crash soon, I agree. But I'll leave that selling on the assumption that a crash is coming to those of you who do trading. I still buy the S&P 500 at regular intervals, come rain or snow.

And the same goes for Bitcoin.
4332  Economy / Economics / Re: Why are some government officials like saying what they don't understand on: December 02, 2021, 06:58:45 AM
I would interpret it to mean they intend to contrast bitcoin's decentralization with centralization. Bitcoin's deflation with inflation. Bitcoin's open ledger and transparency with zero transparency. And so on.

I think this is the key here. They simply want to fight the new system that is Bitcoin, holding on to the old system that is FIAT but making it digital. I think it is a mixture of ignorance in part and on the other hand of refusing to see reality, because deep down they know the essential difference between the Bitcoin and the old FIAT system that they represent, however much they want to digitize it and turn it into a shitcoin.

4333  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Merits] Hodling merit is not the right way. on: December 02, 2021, 06:53:39 AM
...then why creating this thread when there are some already existing.

Simply because the OP was hoping to earn merit with this post, and so far he has already earned one.

I'm sick of seeing it: newbies or junior members like him who has 100 activity and so far only 2 earned merits, creating a thread about the merit system because somehow they know that creating a post about merits is likely to end up getting them some.
4334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'M back! My next move with Bitcoin on: December 01, 2021, 09:51:29 AM
Welcome back!

I hope the information about Bitcoin will be of great use to your brother for the future.

I hope your project works out for you, as for me, no, I don't expect to start a new portfolio. My portfolio is boring and consists of periodically buying the S&P 500 and Bitcoin, not caring what the market does.
4335  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: School Students learning bitcoin basics in Slovakia.. on: December 01, 2021, 07:22:12 AM
My personal opinion is that it is unnecessary to expose children to such information, because it is simply too early for them to be burdened with it. It is quite one thing to read a book, and quite another to understand what it is all about - and it is even worse if the person who needs to clarify these things is not an expert at it. I don't know how the book is conceived and how the teachers are trained, but from the fact that someone lives in ignorance, the worse thing can only be that they learned something completely wrong.

Don't worry, it's a 20 pages illustrated book that is about the basics, nothing complicated.

Yeah, I think Lucius has gotten too pessimistic, it doesn't necessarily have to be bad.

The only problem with it might be that it kind of implies that everything other than bitcoin and decentralization is bad...apart from gold.

That's wonderful, it's actually a miracle. Even if it is too exaggerated or biased, it is not bad to counter the message we get from governments and central banks that whatever is not created and/validated by them is basically a scam.

Hi Miguel 11th, I was commenting on your other thread, advising you not to break any rules. I am glad that you have come up with that idea so you can try to help your grandmother while respecting the rules.

Beparanf has given you good avice. Follow it.

Good luck!

4337  Economy / Reputation / Re: Got my first badge [990th most earned merits] on: December 01, 2021, 06:54:29 AM
Yeah, well. I don't see the point of the thread in this section either. Maybe better in the B&H section, as it has been said, so it can encourage others. What OP's "achievement" tells me is that with a little effort and being a responsible person, one can gradually earn a reputation on the forum. At the end of the day it is like a big town where many people pass through, but those of us who stay in the town are a handful of people.

4338  Economy / Speculation / Re: TA shows potential bullish breakout - if history repeats on: December 01, 2021, 06:47:25 AM
The stock to flow model suggests that by the end of this year we should be around $100,000 in value. And I think with the technical analysis that you have there it's possible to reach that amount. I think It matters what the following months that we are going to have this year which is now December would push us to the next rally. Maybe a lot of people would get into it.

Not really. What it predicted was around $100k by the end of november, which already failed, and $135k. Perhaps the price will be boosted in December, but PlanB's model, as it was proposed, is no longer useful, and predictive models (which, no matter how much analysis they contain, will never predict with 100% reliability, far from it) will have to be rethought.
4339  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 01, 2021, 06:43:54 AM
Is it just me or does Raoul Pal just talk a load of nonsense and always gives a very vague roundabout answer to every question?  Huh

Surprised to see so many people have a complete orgasm when he appears on crypto channels such as InvestAnswers today.

What's up with the weird red barber chair behind him? Is he really just a local barber in the Caymans and disguised as a hedge fund manager?

I think one comment on the video about Pal hit the nail on the head:

"The one thing I don’t like about Raoul is he uses crypto as a way to maximize his USD. He’s a fiat maximalist disguised in crypto clothing."

To me he just seems to back what he thinks is the fastest horse without any justification other than being lucky, switching from BTC to ETH: "I saw it when the chart changed."
Whatever...

I stopped listening to him when he made it clear that he prefers shitEthereum to Bitcoin. He does this on the basis that the user base is going to grow much more, and this year shitEther has gone up more than Bitcoin, so yes, the only thing he cares about is the return it gives him in fiat USD.

I prefer Bitcoin for other reasons. Obviously, if we believed that bitcoin would not give us any return, or even losses, none of us would invest in it. But even though there may be shitcoins that have more return than bitcoin in the future, and even though the parabolic price rises might be over for Bitcoin (which remains to be seen), it is worth investing in because it frees us from the clutches of central banks and governments.

4340  Economy / Reputation / Re: Do you think dkbit98's behavior is acceptable? Trust system abuse? on: November 30, 2021, 09:38:46 AM
Problem solved. He's deleted the feeback. I have also deleted mine.

I believe that discussions are something normal in forums and I in fact it is not the first heated discussion I've had here, but better not let things get out of hand.

I think it's better to make peace, as it seems it's going to happen, and that's it.

I do think the question about color-neutral but negative spirit tags is interesting to be debated, about where is the limit, but maybe that's a matter for another thread.
