I think it's not account farming. Account farmer would barely advertise anything. Here in this case, it seems they are created for the sole purpose of shilling aka guerilla marketing as pointed above. You can't say them account farming.

Highly unlikely to be "guerilla marketing". The marketcaps of both mentioned projects are $4.5b(AXS) and $444m(ILV). Projects with those amounts of money invested in them aren't the type to be advertised this badly as the effect would be less than a drop in the bucket. Not to mention that both are reputable projects(outside of the Bitcoin-only community, obviously).

Doesn't really matter what you call it, right? The goal is to have a second source of income, and if you end up getting it, then great. If somebody asks you, just say you have 2 jobs.
4403  Other / Meta / Re: Is it only me, ot there are new ways of hidden advertising on the forum? on: February 11, 2022, 10:17:02 AM
I've seen a few of those kinds of post chains for a while now. But in this example — with Axie and Illuvium being the one that's mentioned, I don't think it's hidden marketing in this case. Feel free to call them shit projects, but Axie and Illuvium are some of the far less "shady" projects that I doubt will be advertised this way. I'd have a different opinion if it was a super micro-cap project on BSC.

I'm guessing that in this case, it's more of just an account farm than hidden advertising.

1. You exchange your 'crypto' to the more liquid coins such as BTC/ETH/USDT/USDC
2. You send those coins to a peer-to-peer exchange, or your local exchange
3. Sell the coins for your local currency
4. Withdraw

As time goes and as more and more money comes in(slowly but surely), bitcoin and the markets in it's entirety will have reduced volatility over time. But then, I'm definitely not going to call this market "mature"; I mean, we literally still have Cardano and XRP at the top 10.
4406  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin the best investment at the moment? on: February 11, 2022, 03:49:01 AM
There's no such thing as "best investment". It's going to depend on your risk appetite — some people like sort of "safer" investments, while some like to go far down the risk curve. Obviously for both types of people and the ones in between, their opinions of what the "best investment" is will be very different.
4407  Other / Meta / Re: What wrong with Bitcointalk? on: February 11, 2022, 03:42:07 AM
Based on my experience this only appears when I try to refresh multiple Bitcointalk tabs within just a few seconds. Basically pretty much when you try to query Bitcointalk a lot more times than a "normal" user would. It's just a DDoS protection thingy as for some reason some people want to bring down Bitcointalk's servers.

Follow developers and venture capitalist funds as they mostly announce investments in new projects. You're just going to get a lot of unfiltered crap if you're just going to go through the last pages of CoinMarketCap or those "listing sites".
4409  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin overtakes USD dollar? on: February 11, 2022, 03:32:32 AM
Be more specific — overtake by what metric?

If you meant by adoption, then I think it's highly unlikely. Highly more likely for bitcoin to be an asset that people hold in their portfolios than an asset that everyone actually pays with; or at least not any time soon.
4410  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: About Bitcoin options trading on: February 11, 2022, 03:23:19 AM
I have not done spot trading, I studied with my uncle when he taught me directly is options trading.

Yea.. jumping directly to options trading is like immediately applying for a chief executive position without any prior company experience. You're likely to set yourself into failure.
4411  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitex.financial -- SCAM or TRUSTWORTHY ? on: February 11, 2022, 03:13:19 AM
Because they said i have 3.65 BTC there, but i must put some (little) cash to reach it....  Undecided

Very common scamming method that for some reason managed to scam a good number of people lol. You'd figure that with that 3.65 BTC, it should be able to cover the so-called "withdrawal fees".

99% of blockchain games suck, and will end up being just an unsustainable temporary way of making money. Pretty much just winning by getting in and out at the right times.

The reason why non-blockchain "play to earn" games have existed throughout the years(RuneScape, World of Warcraft, etc) is because there's a perfect balance between actual players who pay money for their enjoyment and people who only farm items for money. With the current state of blockchain games, like 95% of people pretty much play solely for the money; making the market unsustainable due to the lack of actual demand for the items.

^And probably don't expect AAA game creators to be making blockchain-based games any time soon. They're literally incentivized to make the in-game items untradable, or at least difficult to trade.
4413  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitex.financial -- SCAM or TRUSTWORTHY ? on: February 10, 2022, 06:11:58 PM
Just solely looking at the domain itself makes me think that the exchange is a scam or at the very least, shady or amateurishly-ran. Any reason why you're even wanting to try out this exchange? Because there's literally no reason to test out new or less well-known exchanges, unless it's literally the only local exchange available.



EDIT: taking a look at the "exchange", yea lmao it's an easy pass for me.
4414  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: About Bitcoin options trading on: February 10, 2022, 05:29:56 PM
Have you even tried trading on spot exchanges and actually end up doing good consistently? If not, you're probably not going to do great with options.
4415  Economy / Economics / Re: Impact of Bitfinex hack on the economy on: February 10, 2022, 10:42:53 AM
It really depends on what they're going to end up doing with the money. If they ended up deciding to sell it for whatever reason, it's really unlikely that they're going to dump it on spot exchanges in the first place. Instead, they're very likely going to sell it through OTC as to not heavily and directly impact the market.
4416  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the future of crypto in India, how to avoid crypto tax and TDS, on: February 10, 2022, 07:16:20 AM
If you're a lawful citizen, I don't think there's anything you can do but to just manage your finances well. Put yourself in a situation whereas you won't need to sell your bitcoin/crypto for long amounts of time. Always have enough fiat available, for those instances where you suddenly need a good amount of cash for whatever reason.
4417  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I found something interesting on: February 10, 2022, 05:42:11 AM
if you are looking for new projects and you have some doubts about the project take your time to check this thread maybe there is a scam accusation already going on.

Just a heads up to the readers that while researching a project/platform's reputation is great, not because you didn't see scam allegations on that project/platform it doesn't automatically mean that it ain't a scam(or at least shady). Always remember to intelligently judge the project/platform yourself as well.
4418  Local / Pilipinas / Re: $2.5B in stolen BTC from Bitfinex hack awakens on: February 10, 2022, 05:22:01 AM
Boom! Cheesy Pera na naging bato pa.
I guess nararandaman na nilang malapit na silang ma-trace kaya sinubukan na nilang ilipat yung nakaw na BTC.
That couple could end up being locked up for up to 20 years. Sheesh! Tibay din ng Feds at na-trace talaga nila yung mga hackers.

Actually kaya sila nahuli kasi na backtrace ung funds na sinubukan nilang i-launder. So pag hindi nila ginalaw ung funds, most probably malaya parin sila ngayon.

Quick recommendation: since most people here are mostly Bitcoiners, you're better off asking on their Discord.

4420  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Anyone using the following crypto wallets? on: February 10, 2022, 02:55:59 AM
I've used phantom wallet too and it seems quite easy to use (similar to metamask in how it functions as an extension). I don't know how beginner friendly it is though, most things in crypto are just trial and error and it might be a good place to start since Solana transactions seem very cheap - although so have bitcoin transactions recently.

Funny how Phantom wallet knocks MetaMask out of the water in terms of UI smoothness and functionality that it's not even funny, despite MetaMask having a good amount of years of head start. It seems that MetaMask became too complacent.
