Liverpool and chelsea were able qualifying for the next round. This is also making the competition to get FA cup becomes very strict these days. Just try to take the fact that if we will be having so many big matches to come at the same time caused by almost all of big teams were qualified for the next round.

Chelsea vs Leicester
Newcastle vs Man city
MU vs Liverpool
Wolves vs coventry

There will be three interesting matches to happen soon.

Leicester as been doing well in Championship but I think Chelsea will be winning except they missed their chances and don't defend with Sanchez on the goal because Petrovic is actually doing excellently comparing with Sanchez and I think he would have been able to save at least a goal from the 2 goals conceded against Leeds yesterday

Newcastle have been too inconsistent but let's see if they can do well in that game but in this match I think City will definitely win

Liverpool and Manchester United facing off and this is the most difficult match in the Fa Quarter final this season but I think Liverpool might win though Manchester United still have a chance but will be able to give a better judgement how they fair against Man City this coming weekend.

Wolves vs Coventry, anything can happen that's all I can say about them
442  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Funds are SAFU": Here we go again, but with Coinbase! on: February 29, 2024, 06:46:49 AM
This is more about an exchange which is Coinbase. This topic is better to be on exchange board.

Well at least they were lucky that it was just a glitch! I will never understand why normal people are keeping their coins in an exchange and not even in a software wallet. People who are not trading coins do not need to use an exchange. It is just ridiculous seeing people on X/Twitter having a mental breakdown over this even after hearing about "not your keys, not your coins" so many times.
One of the reasons is that some people do not know the difference between wallet and exchanges. Some people think exchanges are wallets. Some people have not heard not you key not your coin before. Yes it is bad to leave coins on exchanges. Another reason is that some people know about trading and they are trading with high amount of money. Some people are using the centralized exchanges P2P to trade also for money making.
I thought after FTX investors would have been wise to know not your key not your coin but its far from it, People continue to fall for CEX drama but at least we will just continue to speak the truth not your key not your coin, those who will listen will listen while the others will later accept it after being victimised

ZachXBT posted 2 days ago on Twitter(X), that February 23 a suspicious activity occurred on bitforex exchange were of 3 of their hot wallet address saw outflows of ~$56.5M and after which withdrawal was halted without any announcement from the exchange even till now.

Thank God majority of cryptocurrency investors have been able to know the essence of not your key not your coin but it's still painful when naive people fall victim of these exchanges, we can see that BitForex was among the top exchanges last year base on market capitalization which shows trustworthiness but trusting CEX tends to end with regret.

If the daily trading volumes was 2.6 billion and bitforex takes 0.5% of these volumes as profits, then they can generate 1 million per day or 69M per 2 months, why exit scam and they can generate this profit easily.

If these statistics are not correct and the $56 million is clients’ money, then leaving such amounts in unknown CEX means that traders do not really understand, not your key, not your coin.
Base on Coin_trader reply i can say, the $2.6 billion was all fake because  base on your analysis they would definitely being earning more rather opting for this scam except they have more of customer funds greater than the $56 million but base on ZachXBT  on X, Bitforex holds 18% of the $TRB supply and 7% of the $OMI supply, which is a proof thousands of investors still trust CEX even after 2022 CEX crisis

To be Frank I don't really think this will work well, it's similar to DT but with time I think it will even fail more than DT. Altcoinstalk is still under development and I don't think when it comes to this Btt needs to adopt any of their systems, though Altcoinstalk was created to be less strict but now that been use against them, in just a month plus after mixers moved to them, the admin have already been facing the abuse of the karma systems.

I agree with you, but if we say that about 15 accounts control most of Merits distribution, and assuming that the system is not misused, then creating a de-merit system with a list of 20 members, only 5 members needed to agree to de-Merit that post.

I do not like using trust system as a de-Merit system.

except I misinterpret that part, I think 15 accounts having most control seems feasible but that would make the workload being overloaded for them even some these reliable members are already having tight schedule in their personal life, People are move with emotions which will still affect this and somehow de-Merit won`t hold strong in this forum like having Negative tags because those who are De-Merited can still earn merits even when they are still breaking the rules except they are tag account can not be limited.

For example if a member is caught as a cheater in campaign or bounties with a tag, that account is ruin to be accepted when it comes to getting loans or joining campaign but except the trust system still stand with the De-Merit system, these cheaters can still earn merits and apply for loans and campaign with a good chance of being accepted while with a negative tag an account is ruin or limited.

This money does not belong to government,  this money belongs to common Nigerians that are looking for a way to survive
Nigerians mostly uses payment processors before, but CBN banned bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. We moved to P2P and Nigerians will not label the bank transaction as cryptocurrencies. CBN unban cryptocurrencies but Nigerians still prefer P2P. What did he mean? That the money (naira) in the bank used to buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not legit? I am disappointed that CBN can say they can not adequately identified the money (naira) that passed through Binance.
They are trying to act up, being dramatic again I do not care what those liars called government says they are the actual once ruining the naira, if they can not identify them its a lie to me since as long as binance exchange does kyc and under legal right through SEC this individuals identity can be well known to them since we notice this with Sinbad last year.

In the end no of their plans will stop Bitcoin and cryptocurrency adoption for growing especially now when majority investors have now been knowledgeable about the Truth
447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 28, 2024, 09:37:47 AM
Manchester United vs Forest will be a great match in the Single League in the FA Cup. Although most people think Manchester United will win, and most punters will bet on them. But I think it is going to be a competitive and exciting game between the two teams as both teams are strong enough. But Manchester United are not performing that well at the moment and it would be very foolish to rely on them with the game they are currently showing. It is difficult to predict which team will win as this match for the FA Cup will surely be a no-holds-barred affair with big attacks and hard-fought battles. Although Manchester United have a slight chance to win according to the betting ratings, Forest also know how to attack well. So this match will be interesting Nottingham Forest and Manchester United both teams will play well in the knock out stage and title fight and only the team who can score goals will reach the goal of winning the title.


I would probably prefer to keep betting on Man United even though I also have doubts about this team. Because I started to doubt Man United after they lost at home last week. Even though the opponents they faced were not top-ranked teams. But the opponent they face is Fullham who are also still struggling to be ranked in the middle of the standings. So it is very natural if you have other opinions about Man United. And yeah, I'm just taking a risk and still trusting them. And hope that Ten Hag makes the right strategy and the Man United squad doesn't make many mistakes.
It is very risky if you force a bet on a team that you are not sure can win the match.
Manchester United is now quite difficult to predict, they are an inconsistent team so I am starting to avoid betting on the victory of one of the teams in matches played by Manchester United, I think it would be better to bet on over or under goals.

Against Nottingham Forest it shouldn't be too difficult for Man United because Man United's quality is much better, but again Man United's lack of consistency makes anything possible happen.
I think Manchester United will win this game since they had been doing well in their recent matches except from the shocking defeat to Fulham last week but Nothingham forest has not been faring better having a win and a draw in their 5 matches in Epl. This is the only Trophy possible for United the win this season maybe they will take the game seriously and hopefully do well.

With this result Manchester City qualify for the next phase smoothly and today we will see some big clubs ready to compete where Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are ready to face their opponents. This could be a decent bet to make even though we know some of them still have consistency issues at times.
Manchester City destroyed Luton yesterday though they were never a match but as we know City once given an opportunity hardly play easily with it and Haaland was really Beasted yesterday and it's good to see Kovacic in the score sheet.

I think Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea will be winning their matches today, Poch will try not to lose this game today since the hit is increasing on him on almost every game especially losing on Sunday Carabao Cup final which was a proof that his strategy is vague since he could not take advantage of Liverpool injury woes
448  Other / Beginners & Help / BitForex halts withdrawals, stops responding to users after $56.M was moved on: February 28, 2024, 08:59:04 AM
ZachXBT posted 2 days ago on Twitter(X), that February 23 a suspicious activity occurred on bitforex exchange were of 3 of their hot wallet address saw outflows of ~$56.5M and after which withdrawal was halted without any announcement from the exchange even till now.


In September 2023, BitForex was among the leading global crypto exchanges in terms of capitalization. Its daily trading volume stood at about $2.6 billion in crypto. At present, CoinMarketCap doesn’t provide live data on BitForex.

In April 2023, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) accused BitForex of violating the country’s fund settlement laws. According to the FSA, the exchange had been conducting business in the country without proper registration.

However, since then, BitForex hasn’t drawn any significant attention from regulators or the media.

Last week, another Hong Kong exchange, Atom Asset Exchange (AAX), moved around $55.6 million worth of Ether from its wallets. AAX stopped all its operations on Nov. 13, 2022, just two days after FTX filed for bankruptcy. Following its shutdown, AAX’s former CEO Thor Chan and board member Haoming Liang were arrested by Hong Kong police in 2022.

However, the founder of AAX, whose identity remains unknown, is allegedly still on the run with 230 million Hong Kong dollars ($29.41 million) worth of users’ money and private keys holding access to exchange wallets.

Customers don't really know if this was an hack or exist scam since the CEO recently stepped down a month ago. While most of the pages of the website are currently down except from some parts like the announcement of the stepping down of the CEO and so many customers have not been able to access their assets.
BitForex Twitter(X) account has not been updated since May last year but customers were able to communicate with them before from their official Telegram channel but still yet no response from the exchange there till now.

Thank God majority of cryptocurrency investors have been able to know the essence of not your key not your coin but it's still painful when naive people fall victim of these exchanges, we can see that BitForex was among the top exchanges last year base on market capitalization which shows trustworthiness but trusting CEX tends to end with regret.

I think JustineCollins09 is a pretty naive person because he bought an account with 5 red feedback which someone with even a little bit of sense would avoid doing. Maybe he bought it to get Legendary status on Altcoinstalk after teleportation but other than that I don't think that having such an account would help him in anyway.
Maybe he got scammed trying to get the account, there is a high chance the seller may not review the account name before being sold in order to avoid reviewing it to those impersonating as buyers to burst them and so most of these sellers have become extremely cautious while some may use it as an excuse to scam buyers, after all hr got a legendary account

Thinking of him teleporting the account to altcointalk as somehow dumb since the Campaign managers there are from btt, only few of these will actually get past them since those Campaign managers are OGs here, they know already big names for sure that have their image tarnished here
450  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin core team members on: February 27, 2024, 04:36:00 PM
My question na goes to, do you believe this set of bitcoin developers don't know who Satoshi be? Em d somehow that none of the core developers of bitcoin no know who Satoshi be. All of them can't accept to work or develop bitcoin for Satoshi without reaching out to him in one way or the other.
Satoshi na person wey dey take privacy very seriously, so he made sure not to lose it before he disappeared from the community. Of course Satoshi go don communicate with some of the developers wey help am wella, but him go fit do that without losing him privacy na, even the admin of this forum fit read Satoshi PM's wey him been send when he was a user here, but you cannot use any of that to determine who the creator of Bitcoin be. If person bring interesting proposal to you through the internet, but the person no wan tell you about their identity, if you like the project, nothing concern you with their identity, you go just lend your own support.
In addition to what Coyster said so, in order to reach you don't necessarily need to meet the person first to first and why these devs choose to support in the development of Bitcoin was because they saw the potential of Bitcoin, don't forget before the invention of bitcoin there have been already been alot of people trying to find a way of solving the double spending problem in Blockchain technology which Satoshi did with the proof of work mechanism in the creation of bitcoin.
So these devs never needed to see him all that matters was that, Is idea for solving such problem seems logically possible and so they supported and now we have Bitcoin.

Aside the core dev there have been alot of individuals who have supported the growth of Bitcoin but have never even gotten any personal message from him but still continue because they believe in bitcoin.

Even Hal Finney who was among the core dev and he was the first to receive bitcoin which he did receive from Satoshi, didn't know him though they both have conversations online when he was testing how the Bitcoin Network works never knew him directly rather everything he guessed the things he knew about him, like being a Japanese from the way he (Satoshi) wrote, here is Bitcoin story of Hal Finney Bitcoin and me (Hal Finney)

451  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Watin dey make you dey invest on shitcoin dey bitcoin on: February 27, 2024, 02:00:49 PM
Normally If person fit catch better meme/shitcoins invest on the profit go High end this one don make plenty investors invest in many different of these coins and token but in the end them dey collect little or nothing from them since all these coins  dey raise quick and fall quick, even if you HODL them, hope nor really dey say them go pump that high again but Bitcoin dey different and with the picture below you go see why HODLing bitcoin better pass all of them

Base on that Chart from coingecko, bitcoin don raise against our naira with about %700+ but na all these kind reason dey make people dey invest in shitcoin way go later cor be like say na gamble them dey gamble with their money last last.
Who HODL Freecoin, Wakanda Inu, Safemoon and the other popular shitcoin of 2021 and 2022 nor get hope to get their money back but those way HODL bitcoin that same get hope say with time they go get profit.

My advice say we dey bull now but after halving the main bull go come but na so meme coins go full everywhere their price go fly up and down but in the end, E nor go tel their hype go die and na so them tel dey comot but Bitcoin go dey and so instead to dey put money for these meme coins just put all for bitcoin.

In general, in ALTT there is a system similar to a court, where 4-6 members are elected and take action. If it is necessary to make adjustments to the merit system, I suggest creating a similar idea, but frankly, I do not have an ideal idea.
To be Frank I don't really think this will work well, it's similar to DT but with time I think it will even fail more than DT. Altcoinstalk is still under development and I don't think when it comes to this Btt needs to adopt any of their systems, though Altcoinstalk was created to be less strict but now that been use against them, in just a month plus after mixers moved to them, the admin have already been facing the abuse of the karma systems.

I stand with NO on the addition of demerit system, if we're already being stress because of the abuse of merit and DT, the demerit will only makes things and frankly Theymos definitely would have thought about this before but he knows it won't solve any problem here instead causing more problem.
After all we know he does not bother about how anyone here view him, rather he cares about the betterment of the forum and once he sees a feasible way of solving this problem he will implement it, just like how he banned mixers though we all hated it but we have come to accept it since we understand his reasons.

Sometimes I think there is no need for all these especially when we have such threads like this,
Known Alts of any-one - A User Generated List Mk IV (2024 Q1) [MODERATED] 🤨🔬,
AI Spam Report Reference Thread and others have been more helpful than anything in bringing order on the forum.

 Though I support nutildah idea, on getting the payment of any bounty cheater caught since even negative tags doesn't stop them from cheating this would be better, since everyone knows that having such related tags has already put anyone having it in edge of never being accepted in a campaign but I guess it will all depend on if the member desires to take the cheaters

this week way just past so  
(Monday ,12, Feb,24)~(Saturday,17, Feb,24)
Na  really big week for BITCOIN, because BITCOIN gain about 9.2%  increment. This one na really good sign way BITCOIN done show us so , as most of the investors and retail traders done put eye for am like this because of the way e take move from 47978.05 to 52395.42 within this relatively short time.
First of all the way the week take start  I no expect this type of strong bullish move because we enter this week with a market way dey  consolidated around the 48594.35 and the 47651.65  zone  way continue for almost the whole (Monday , 12 Feb , 24) until In the evening we come experience one huge price Spike way come open the way for further rise, after this Spike way I dey talk so , the price come later come back to the price way e originate, that is on (Tuesday 13 , Feb , 24) then buyers way been they wait to buy for the market come pick up the orders , na so price come take rise through out (Tuesday 13 , Feb , 24) and ( Wednesday, 14, Feb, 24) on reaching (Thursday 15 , Feb , 24 ) price come start to consolidate around the 51185.48 and 52757.83 zone way done continue till now (Saturday ,17 , Feb ,24)
so at this point make we continue to look at how the next week go be.
I was expecting bitcoin price to clock 50k earlier in January but that didn't happen, I guess its usually when you don't expect bitcoin turn up more but at least we all knew it would be bullish, so those who continue to stack up more will be smiling and Thanking God.

Now that the ETF has already been accepted, I think bitcoin will get to a new ATH before halving maybe around March before most will then sell some of bitcoin because of halving and some people expecting a huge sale from top investors just like some do during halving but still yet bitcoin likely get to a new ATH because I think most will continue to HODL till this happens
Boss you really dey on point, as you take talk am na so e done be oo, few days to March, BTC done rise well well already oo, e just dey interesting to me say this crypto maket as e be so just dey unpredictable ,  you fit think one thing , na another thing dey happen, just imagine before the halving nine we dey see this kind move.
BTCaby is not entirely predictable but we're still hoping for  a new ATH before halving and after that, up up and awy Grin

Irrespective of the fact that some of us are beneficiaries of this increase in dollar over naira, due to the fact that we have most of our assets in Bitcoin and other crypto like USDT, I'm still not satisfied with the dollar increase over the Naira because we have lots of individual who are suffering from this rapid increase, even our very close relations are going through a lot this period due to the hike in price of everything in the market. The percentage of persons not into crypto or those not earning in dollar are much higher than those who are into crypto, so lets pray things get better than this.

People wey dey earn in foreign currencies no really benefit like dat becus indirectly you go cough out all di money back. As dollar dey increase naso things for market dey increase. Make I use this example explain, 2 weeks ago I buy Romoss powerbank for jumia for 73k, afta 4 days di price come increase to 81k, yesterday wen I check again di price don enta 97k. The only thing be say e still beta pass person wey dey earn in naira becus as dollar dey rise and things dey increase for market, your naira go dey reduce in value.

This is the only thing better and helpful against our dying economy, earlier bitcoin investors in Nigeria are smiling bitcoin, Other fiat currency are depreciating and while naira is being manipulated and dying, bitcoin investment is better than other for us all because either in the good or bad economy, we're going to be richer  Grin

ETFs are going to start having a real tough time acquiring the BTC they need. I can only imagine the scramble to find sellers that fund managers are going to engage in tomorrow.
Guess we call ETFs and CEX Sats scrapper now lol.

every time I check the price it's 1k higher.  But I have the feeling this is just the beginning ...

You are probably correct.

Soontm, $1k is going to become the new $100.

Just like $100 became the new $10.
