It's true, we're not really losing our personal data it's just that others are able to have them, meaning it will not be exclusive for us to use. It is not new knowledge that companies use our data for their growth, I mean we are all aware of it and sometimes even volunteer to do it when we choose to answer survey forms and customer service feedback. However, the actual harm and scary thing is when someone like a fraud gets a hand on your personal data and uses it on illegal transactions. There are a lot of instances when other people's identities were used to do illegal transactions without them even knowing that someone else was able to have access to their personal data, the next thing they know they have authorities hunting them down. It is cases like these that makes people scared regarding topics like this.
And that is the thing, while our personal information is not worth much to the companies that want to acquire our data, that information is invaluable to us, because if it ends up on the wrong hands this can bring us a lot of trouble down the line, unfortunately we do not have too much of a choice, as in this day and age it is indispensable to carry a smartphone with you, and as we know those devices are always leaking our information in one way or another. What kind of data do these companies have about an individual? Their browsing behavior, interest, hobby, age, sex, status, etc. They don't have your wallet's private key or your ATM pin number. The scary thing that can happen to you is that you will frequently see some annoying ads or a call from a scammer who is offering you the next dot-com share because he thinks it's your lucky day. Our data is invaluable to us, and this value depends on which region of the world you are living in. Individual data from any southeast asian country isn't that valuable, and most people from this part of the world actually don't care about it. |

The criticism directed at Bitcoin is mostly for creating FUD and influencing speculators, so what is important is that this news that talks about 30%, 50%, or even 99% will not change the nature of mining or the price of Bitcoin.
For more than 5 years, I have been hearing about China’s ban on Bitcoin, including John McAfee, and now FUD has become clean energy. During this time, you will find positive or negative articles, many of which may be true or misleading, depending on who wants to move the price.
They have used several topics to spread FUD, but institutional investors are often subject to environmental, governance, and social mandates that force them to invest in sustainable sectors. Their main criticism was bitcoin mining and its carbon emissions. Now that miners are shifting to renewable energy sources to mine bitcoin, this institution can invest in bitcoin without any obligation from society. Bitcoin mining can boost the development of the renewable energy sector as well by increasing its demand throughout the bitcoin mining sector. |

Bitcoin does not need Elon Musk. He should fuck off.
Elon Musk only manipulated for people to leave bitcoin for doge. That man will not accept bitcoin for anything, his mission is doge.
After he stopped payment for bitcoin, bitcoin still later increased and got to all-time-high.
What about Tesla? I do not like Elon because of his unpredictable nature, and he has made positive and negative statements in the past about bitcoin. I do not like any meme projects as well, but a car company like Tesla can be at the forefront of the bitcoin market in the future. They have a large user base and resources to accept bitcoin for their online payments. |

@DVlog, places are open for an avatar campaign, and considering that you are in another sig campaign that promotes mixer, I don't think your campaign manager would like it if you have an avatar from a competitor  I wanted to wear an avatar and signature as well if the campaign let me do that. |

Bitcoin Mining and Clean Energy: Bloomberg Intelligence reported Bitcoin miners now meet the 50% clean energy threshold. Jamie Coutts shared the latest on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “The Bitcoin energy narrative is flipping! A new note out this morning on the Bloomberg Terminal looks at the rapid rise of sustainable energy sources in BTC mining.” In 2021, Elon Musk announced that Tesla (TLSA) would resume accepting BTC when miners reach the 50% clean energy threshold.
Genesis Ceases Crypto Trading Services: On Thursday, news hit the wires of Genesis halting crypto trading services permanently. Genesis previously announced the end of spot trading by September 30. Derivatives trading services will cease immediately.
SEC v Stoner Cats 2 Draws Condemnation: Stoner Cats 2 LLC became the latest victim of the SEC onslaught on the US digital asset space. The SEC announced charges against Stoner Cats 2 LLC for conducting an unregistered offering of crypto asset securities in the form of NFTs that raised $8 million to fund Stoner Cats, an animated web series. Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty called out the SEC move. SEC Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda dissented.
Deutsche Bank Enters the Crypto Space in Earnest: German banking giant Deutsche Bank (DB) and Taurus SA announced a partnership to offer crypto and tokenized asset custody services to institutional clients. Deutsche Bank Global Head of Securities Services Paul Maley reportedly said, “As the digital asset space is expected to encompass trillions of dollars of assets, it’s bound to be seen as one of the priorities for investors and corporations alike. Source: https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/crypto-news:-clean-energy-bitcoin-mining-threshold-puts-elon-musk-and-tesla-in-focusOne of the biggest criticisms of bitcoin was its carbon emissions and its environmental impact. Elon and Tesla were at the forefront of this criticism. Despite this, Tesla held bitcoin but sold it to the market later on. This news will have a positive impact throughout the industry, and companies like Tesla are likely to come to the market again as, as Elon previously mentioned, Tesla will accept bitcoin when miners reach the 50% clean energy mark. This will be a major boost for the bitcoin industry. Institutional investors are mostly concerned about the environmental impact of bitcoin mining. This opens a path for institutional investors to come onboard. |

~~.. and maybe even having some ideas about how long it might take to replenish that fund in the future.. 3-6 months? maybe a year?
That's what hinders my investment rate if I have to act aggressively in a bear market situation. Yes, to cover emergency fund reserves will take time and that could hinder one of the DCA options that I have done so far. So at this point the cushion we have is not too strong to move aggressively in accumulating BTC so I have to adjust this step well so as not to disturb me at the DCA level at each stage. However, for those who have large emergency fund reserves, they can certainly move more aggressively in the last few days to accumulate BTC below $26k. In this case, every decision is certainly supported by their financial aspects and will not interfere with their DCA strategy. Why most people aggressively invest in Bitcoin others still sees it as a ton of luck or risk. Bitcoin has so many factors compiled together so as to successfully achieve enough profits at its bull run, factors like risk management and market analysis are all to be put together. Just thinking about two friends, David and Alex, who heard about bitcoin in 2014, David invested small amounts of his savings into it. The price of bitcoin has increased significantly since that time, and David put in some risk management strategies and took profits a few times. On the other hand, Alex learned about his friend's enormous gains and hastily invested all of his savings in bitcoin before the major correction of the last bull run. Later, he sold his bitcoin at a loss. They both invested in the same market, but their risk management strategies differed. Aggressive investors in bitcoin know about the market. They must consider some factors like historical repercussions, decentralization, finite supply, diversification, adoption, and utility. All these show a very bullish sign that bitcoin is going to be the next financial savior when the petrodollar is collapsing very fast. There wasn't any better alternative than gold before, but bitcoin's scarcity makes it more valuable than gold, and there is no reason to believe it will stop its growth in the future. |

Since the popularity of AI, a lot has changed in so many sectors;
1. Students now rely much on it for their assignments and it's almost difficult to engage the brain in constructive reasoning since AI can always come through for them
2. It has affected the graphic space since you can just do an AI portrait, or simple graphics for yourself using the AI tool, and the graphics guy is technically not needed anymore.
3. The coding guys are not even left out and although it has its advantages in all these sectors I feel it also has done a huge damage in increasing the rate of laziness on the part of the youth.
We are enjoying the ease that comes with doing things using AI at the snap of our fingertips but I fear that over dependent on it might have serious effects on society, in the years to come.
The future for AI is promising, and it will occupy some job positions in our economy. So in the future, there will be a new category of job where people can use AI in a professional way. I do not think using AI is bad if it can provide authentic data that can speed up our working force. There is some negative impact on our society that can be alarming after a few days. The development of creativity and creative thinking in the human mind will be less important because people will try to use AI for that. Our society will be so heavily dependent on AI that certain skills will fade away from human nature and AI will replace them. |

The Bitcoin network has shown decent development since its launch decades ago. There is one sector that I think still lagged behind in terms of development: Wallet flexibility. Your wallet is your bank. So your wallet's flexibility is also as important as your wallet's security. This is where the idea of a smart wallet can play a significant role for the bitcoin network.
The core idea is to create a highly customizable wallet where its owner can set up or pre-define any rules they desire without losing control of their funds.
Why do I think this is important?
What if someone wants to lock his bitcoin for his future generation and wants to set up a lock for 10 years so that his children will not be able to transfer these funds for the next 10 years, or a business owner wants to pay his workers monthly salary in bitcoin and he doesn't want to log in every time he needs to do that? He just simply set up a contract that will send monthly salary to some predefined address every month. Another possible use case is to prevent any unwanted transactions from coming through. Like only whitelisted addresses can send funds to a specific address, transactions from any unknown address will not be mined in this way, and the receiver address can pay for the transaction fees. There are countless more possibilities for the use of a smart wallet, and I think this will be a much-needed development in the future. Also, using and securing manmonic phrases or privet keys seems inconvenient for many of us, so using NFT's or some other possible ways to make your bitcoin wallets back up grandma-friendly will be a major development for wide adaptation of the bitcoin network.
All these needs to be user friendly that non tech dude can set up this rules only by clicking few steps.

Do you have a set "goal" price at which you'd be selling no matter what happens? Do you intend to sell incrementally as the price goes up? Or maybe when the price gradually drops (e.g. it goes down for X days in a row), indicating we're past the peak?
I have set my goal to sell some part of my bitcoin assets by the second quarter of 2025 that's when I deem fit that the crypto space will be experiencing a bull run by then. Whatever price I see by then, I feel like if I have gotten the profits I desire from Bitcoin investment, nothing stops me from selling some part of my Bitcoin. The rest of the bitcoin not sold will be kept by applying a DCA strategy to it There will be a bull run for sure, but the bear market following that bull can be different from all the historical ones. There will be the world's biggest institution onboard, so we may not see that 45% fall over night like most of the bear market. There will be corrections, but not like before. Those big institutions will try to keep the market stable so that they won't lose their customer funds. I can be totally wrong, but I think something like this will happen. There won't be the kind of bear market we are facing now. It will be more like a sideways move and slow market growth after a certain point. This is just a prediction. |

For a long time, I have strongly believed that there are many alt accounts in local boards, especially in the Pakistani or Bangladeshi LBs, but since every accused is innocent until proven guilty, we cannot take suspicions and build facts on them.
If any of you find any evidence or connection between any member in my Merit thread, PM me so I can put them on the ignore list.
LBs deserves the best, but it is better for them to know that developing an account until it reaches 5k is much better than creating an army of alternative accounts and will give them best payment rate with lowest effort (you need about 4 full member accounts aka 160 posts/week to make the same amount of high merit account 40 posts/week.)
Both of those boards have well-recognized members on the global board. Irfan_pak10 from Pakistan LB and Little Mouse from Bangladesh LB are well known for their contributions. These two boards don't have their own local boards yet, so is it possible to put them in charge of the moderation of those two specific boards to moderate this type of unusual behavior? Is that even possible? I am not sure! |

This type of title is to make it quite incredible but also a big lie at the same time. I mean they word it in a way that is "1.34 trillion asset manager" as in like if they are going to put all that money into bitcoin lol. We do not know if they are going to put in 50 million dollars or 5 billion, its a mystery to us, sure they are offering this service but its not know if they are going to end up with anything decent or not. We are going to end up with something that is a bit more done than that. This is why wording of this articles title is basically a way to manipulate you, like make it look like there will be ton of money going into bitcoin after this, when in reality we have absolutely no idea at all.
By mentioning their management size, we can imagine a clear picture of their experience and influence. If someone thinks that they are going to put all of their assets into bitcoin, they lack common sense. If these asset managers manage 1% of their total assets, that will be impactful as well. Just think how many asset managers applied for ETFs, and what if they all put 1% of their total assets toward buying bitcoin? |

Some people think that it is not secure to store their bitcoins by themselves, like some people think they cannot protect their gold, so they keep it in their bank lockers or with some custodians. They fear that they will lose their private key or hardware wallet, or they will die and their family won't get their bitcoin. They will more easily lose their Bitcoin from keeping it on a third party custody service than from storing it themselves. The billions of dollars that has been lost to hacks or closures from custody service is very large compared to those who have lost their private keys or hardware wallets When you consider that major hacks gets cover stories but users who are locked out of their wallets by the custody service are isolated cases and goes unreported the amount of lost or stolen bitcoins gets longer. You are right, but you cannot change some people's minds. Some people are so stubborn that you cannot convince them against anything they think is right. Actually, the whole point is bringing more people onboard. Let people decide how they want to manage their funds, but at first let them use bitcoin. Some of them might move themselves towards self-custodial methods in the future. I understand your concern about the potential risk associated with banks, but this can make some people's bitcoin lives easier. At least, this is what they think.
They are thinking very wrong. Yeah, but you can't do anything about it except spread more awareness. |

Is there a link to the source of this information other than the twitter link? Preferably, an official announcement about this from the Deutsche Bank.
A certain effect of popularizing bitcoin will occur if such a big bank as the Deutsche Bank offers storage services for bitcoin and crypto. But the problem is that banks want to make money by offering these services, and services that the bitcoin user can provide to himself. The user will give his btc to banks (loses control over his assets) and at the same time still pay (loses money) for an unnecessary service. What could be more stupid? The funny thing is that there will be plenty of people willing to take advantage of this stupidity.
Here is the link: https://watcher.guru/news/deutsche-bank-to-offer-bitcoin-and-crypto-custody-servicesSome people think that it is not secure to store their bitcoins by themselves, like some people think they cannot protect their gold, so they keep it in their bank lockers or with some custodians. They fear that they will lose their private key or hardware wallet, or they will die and their family won't get their bitcoin. People have different understandings of their surroundings, so those types of people who don't feel comfortable managing their own bitcoin wallet will use the services provided by the bank. Most of all, they will get a convenient environment to buy and sell their bitcoins. I understand your concern about the potential risk associated with banks, but this can make some people's bitcoin lives easier. At least, this is what they think. |

I saw abnormal behavior in some of the local boards and wanted to know what was happening there. This topic wasn't any investigative post indeed it was a general post to know about the possible explanation.
Well, if you want to get better answers, you should share the name of the accounts from that screenshot because without looking more deeply into situation its hard to say what exactly is going on and you can only do that by actually checking those accounts. By the way, you don't have to adjust both width and height of the image you are sharing as one of those is enough while the other adjusts automatically. That way image won't be distorted when you mess up the ratio, like in the case of that screenshot you shared. Thanks for the suggestion about the image size adjustment. I will keep that in mind next time. I haven't accused anyone about merit farming. I just raised concern about this unusual behavior. I do not have the expertise to do this kind of investigation. I saw abnormal behavior in some of the local boards and wanted to know what was happening there. This topic wasn't any investigative post indeed it was a general post to know about the possible explanation.
Why not mention their name? So that they can review how this user earns merits. Anyway, I found the first one and 2nd one is pretty hard to find because my keyboard is limited, and can't able to type in a different language. Based on my own view of the first user, some of his posts are meritable and some of them are not. I don't know if I'm right; I just use a translator to understand the content, but I see that his posts are worth giving merit. I think the one who can investigate further more about his posts history are those who use the same language. As you have said you are not familiar with that language so Google Translate will not be able to give you a proper translation I think. Also as you have said some of their posts are meritable when some of them are not and i found this true after checking some of them. I think someone from that local community can investigate that matter more clearly. |

I do not want to mention their name but some members are ranking up with unusual pace and they are getting merits in their every post in local board when they can not get few merits from the global board.
I don't want to make a comment without observing closely. It requires lots of time. Anyway, the above quoted statement is wrong although it's possible that in this case, it may be true. There are a lot of users who don't post outside of the local board due to the language barrier. Or maybe they post a few times only. That's why they don't get merit in the global board. I'm not trying to say that's the case here, neither I'm saying that's not the case here. We can't tell without having a further look. Do they post on the local board only? If they post in the global section, how many times do they? Anyway, if it's a big farm, feel free to share with logic and proofs. I haven't accused anyone about merit farming. I just raised concern about this unusual behavior. I do not have the expertise to do this kind of investigation. I saw abnormal behavior in some of the local boards and wanted to know what was happening there. This topic wasn't any investigative post indeed it was a general post to know about the possible explanation. |

That’s called as good face and bad face at the same time. We can’t rely on the banks for crypto services because we would end up sending our money in the centralised possession.
Yes, not us on the forum, but many people who are now afraid of Bitcoin would buy it if they can do it through their bank and deposit it there. It is the recurring dilemma: it is not what Bitcoin was designed for, and in fact it goes against its philosophy, but it helps mass adoption and the rise in price. Exactly! I can not blame my friend for not trusting bitcoin. It is my fault that I didn't try to spread awareness among my friends about Bitcoin or they fear to believe my word. But when they see that a large bank that they often use provides services for bitcoin they will trust it more than my word. A few of us don't trust the banking system and want to revolutionize the system, most of the people out there still have trust in banks. They will use it. |

Ranking up is not a crime. I can't say anything about this case without reading the posts, if they're not worth the Merit, you may have a point.
It's easy to find who you're talking about, just not from Mobile.
I have checked some of their merit distribution behavior. They were just sending their merits to a handful of members and it looks like most of their post is getting merit when those merit is circulating between a few of the members. I do not want to accuse anyone directly because I do not have expertise in identifying merit farming activity. I think what is happening there is wrong so brought this topic forward. It is not about only those two boards there are other local boards as well where this same thing is happening. A group of member is trying to abuse the system because of no moderation activity in some local board. |

Can you see anything unusual in these two screenshot? From the past few month i am seeing some unusual activity in some of the local board. I do not want to mention their name but some members are ranking up with unusual pace and they are getting merits in their every post in local board when they can not get few merits from the global board. How they are doing exceptionally well only in local board? What do you think what is wrong with them?   |
