Did you enjoy the song? It was written only for such Yugoslav trash that parasitizes the country in which it lives, and mourns for Yugoslavia every day. I didn't mention your parents, but when you mention mine - at least they don't have bloody hands from all the evil you did to the Croats from 1945 until today - and now you have the need to be proud of Tito, who killed over 400 000 Croats after the Second World War, and his like-minded people continued it in 1991.

And you call yourself a Croatian defender and a Croat? Well, you are worse than those who today burn villages and cities in the name of their sick ideologies - why don't you take a gun and join them?

As I already wrote, our devices were made in a different time when materials were cheap and easily available, and the demand for HW was probably not like today - so even though they are the same devices, according to everything I could see and read these the new ones seem to be of lower quality. I am not aware if Trezor has such problems, although I have to admit that I can't remember anyone on the forum complaining that they have a broken Trezor, or that something on the HW is broken or doesn't work as it should.

This painting could fetch a good price at auction, paying in Bitcoin of course

We have already discovered planets that are possibly suitable for life, but even if we had spaceships that travel at the speed of light, it would take us years to get there, and given that for those who travel at that speed time slows down considerably, while for others it's going quite normally, the crew on the way back wouldn't have found anyone alive from those who were alive in their time. You could see something similar if you watched the movie Interstellar.


Somehow it seems to me that Bitcoin would not be of much interest to those aliens, because if you watched Star Trek, in the future currencies practically do not exist - so even though it is only SF, it still seems that people should progress in that direction. On the other hand, some aliens may be greedy like the Ferengi, they just need to be explained the concept of digital gold

@PrivacyG, Trezor supports 1816 coins&tokens, but I'm not sure what that number is with Ledger, although some claim that the number is really much higher. If the reason for better sales is just shitcoins mania, then someone is going to be in big trouble when things go downhill. What I like about Trezor is the "Bitcoin-only firmware" option, which is one step higher in security considering possible attack vectors in combination with all coin apps that can be installed on the device.

I also have a small theory that potential customers prefer the Ledger design in the form of a classic USB stick, rather than the design developed by Trezor - which attracted me to buy Ledger at the beginning.

As for the quality of the device that I bought a few years ago, I can't say anything bad, because nothing broke and everything works as it should from day one. It is possible that problems in quality and functionality arose as a result of the use of lower quality materials, and possibly a less experienced workforce.

I also thought that Ledger will lose the user's trust after the data leak scandal, but it's obvious that most people don't value their privacy enough to blacklist such a company. And as you say, a good advertising strategy still keeps them on top and probably targets those completely new investors in the crypto world who are probably not aware of anything that happened in the past.

Another fact that works in their favor is that, apart from Trezor, they have no real competition that can offer a product for the masses at a more favorable price, and at the same time gain more trust in the short term. I can only say that my next HW will not be from Ledger.

This is the first time I'm hearing about this man, and by his appearance I would say that he is a young person who, like many others like him, is just trying to profit by pretending to know something more than other people. If he is some kind of intellectual who abandons the ship, let him feel free to take other like-minded people with him - because Bitcoin survived without its founder and people like Hal Finney, and I'm sure it can survive without one philosopher who should stick to what he studied at university, which is Philosophy and International Relations.

Maybe this man means something to you, but for 99% of people on this forum, he is completely irrelevant, as are the projects in which he participates.

However, I was surprised that the number of crypto ATMs in our country increased to as many as 13 if the data on coinradar is correct - although the number of physical exchanges is much higher than 2-3 years ago. As you say, maybe there is something similar in Portugal, but maybe local people are simply not overly interested in Bitcoin, regardless of the current very favorable regulations.

In addition, a little less than 2 months ago, the new Portuguese Minister of Finance announced the possible introduction of tax on crypto transactions and profit tax, so that Portugal may lose its status as a crypto tax haven in the future.

Only a deranged idiot like you can assume that I was in the war or that I ran away from the war, did it not occur to you that maybe I was a minor at the time of the war? You were a bloody communist before the war, you are still a communist and you will die like an ordinary communist in a country you despise every day when you wake up and when you go to sleep - you are so dumbfounded that you don't even know how to spell Croat in English...

This is the right message for you and communist scum like you -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJgu2edtpuU

It is always nice to see that someone is doing something that can bring real changes in society, and in this case it is an ordinary laptop, with the help of which children can probably use the Internet for the first time and have access to information. Personally, I would like these children to have at least slightly better conditions in their classrooms, and I hope that something will change for the better in the future.

Who knows, maybe some of these children will become members of this forum one day and also do good deeds for other children.

He is not a Croat at all, but an ordinary nostalgic for Yugoslavia and the mass murderer Tito - and he allegedly fought in the war, but only because he was forcibly mobilized. Unfortunately, there are a lot of such anti-Croats, and if you want to see Branko, I suggest you look at what it looks like when his friends meet in the capital. These people still wave the flags of non-existent countries and celebrate people like Tito and Stalin...

I don't read media like the ones you linked to, so I won't know why some CEO thinks that spring will come in the middle of winter if we're going to say it metaphorically. However, you mention July 2023, while this CEO talks about a period of 24 months, so he didn't really say anything other than that the new ATH will be sometime within 2 years, which means maybe 1-2 months after the halving in 2024.

If you ask me, it's an ordinary paid article to promote the company, that CEO doesn't know anything more than you or me.

I can't say that I haven't heard of some of these companies, but 80% of all of them seem like classic exit scams where the owners robbed themselves and accused hackers from North Korea or some other country that is on someone's blacklist. I'm not surprised personally that some people have malicious ideas that they put into action, but when I see the amounts involved, I can't stop being surprised that there are so many naive people in the world who constantly finance such projects.

Of course, they should be held accountable for every incident, and not just morally like that South Korean hypocrite who is still laughing today as if nothing had happened - but they should be sentenced to long-term sentences, and then all their property should be confiscated, sold at auction and give to charity. Those who in any way participate in such projects did not even deserve to get their money back.

Then there are a lot of those who are in that category, because it seemed to me that there was a real panic when the value started to fall below $20k. Some are guided by the strategy that it is better to gain at least something than to lose everything, even if it was an obvious loss. Besides, if you have no choice and have to sell, then you don't look at the price, no matter what kind of loss it is.

Technically speaking, all the cryptocurrencies you have are on the blockchain, your device only stores the private keys that give you control to send them from the current address to another address. Your digital assets are only as safe as you are in what you do, and only as safe as your backup. Therefore, don't feel too safe, always be alert because we never know from which corner some new danger is lurking.

I don't know what currency you're talking about, so I can't say if it's a lot of money for you or if it's something that will have an impact on some wealthier people - but banks have never been and never will be charitable institutions. In the past 2 years, most banks in my country have increased the fees for their services, and as far as I know, they will increase their fees even more.

Let's say that the fee for paying bills (electricity, telephone, etc.) at the bank is even 100% higher than if you do it at the post office, and even 500% more expensive than the fee you will be charged for the same thing at the gas station (bills can be paid even at a newspaper kiosk).


If you think that Bitcoin is something that has potential and if you believe that it is safe, then I don't see a problem that you trust Bitcoin more than fiat in your bank. I decided a long time ago that I believe in Bitcoin more than in fiat, and considering that my country will soon abandon its currency, I will have even less reason to believe in fiat.

As @Yogee well pointed out, the way someone keeps his Bitcoin plays a crucial role in whether it really belongs to him or he entrusted it to someone else for safekeeping. Therefore, all Bitcoin that is on centralized crypto exchanges belongs to the owners, those exchanges and any government that at some point wants to confiscate it for some reason.

Bitcoin cannot fix China or any country in the world in the way you think until people change and start seriously asking for society to change. In countries like China, this has been proven to be an almost impossible mission because the Chinese (the majority) do not want change, and given how many there are, they could overthrow any government overnight.

@Smack That Ace, it would be nice if you could learn to reduce the image to the appropriate size.

Crypto ATMs business is obviously booming in the US, and we can say that Canada somewhat follows that trend - while the rest of the world does not show too much interest in such a way of trading cryptocurrencies. The number of such devices is also quite good in some EU countries, where Spain is at the top with 212, followed by countries such as Poland, Austria, Romania and Italy. The fact that Portugal has only 6 such devices surprised me, considering that country is often mentioned as one of the most desirable when it comes to cryptocurrencies - but it seems that this is not a decisive factor affecting the interest in this type of service.

Inflation and recession may slow down the number of newly installed devices, but unless some anti-crypto law appears in the US and Canada, I don't see their number decreasing in the future.

As for fingerprint locks, I've been reading for years that this protection can be bypassed very easily, without having to cut off someone's finger or something similar. However, you need a picture of the victim's fingerprint and some glue.


When it comes to hacking protection using facial recognition, experts say that in most cases it can work with a simple photograph of the victim. In most commercial software, the technology is not so advanced that it can distinguish between a living person and a photo.

It was not malicious, but just an observation given that you often mention it


This way of browsing explains why you have to make such a strict selection of boards that interest you, although I remember that you admitted several times that because of that you missed some important or interesting topics. I'm not inclined to browse forums like that, I simply visit various boards, although I don't write anything in some because I don't think I can contribute to the discussion.

I think that the majority have similar criteria on how they browse the forum, but that the criteria of those who are merit sources are still the most important - because they are the ones who have the most sMerits and have the most influence on the distribution of merits.
