LOL, you have have got to be kidding me, cyber agents lol. What, they are capable of hacking the blockchain and getting your money back? What a weak scam attempt, pathetic really. There you go, you got another tag now.



Unfortunately, those that are their target audience won't even realize small details like that, similarity to Binance, as anyone with some trading experience will see through this. Lucky for scammers, there is constant influx of brand new people coming to crypto that are completely unaware of all the dangers that lie ahead.

Out of curiosity I checked "Thodex" in bitcointalk search and  Turkish members indeed used that scammy exchange, unfortunately, as there are bunch of threads made in months before this exit scam. Hopefully people didn't loose a lot, but what a shitshow..

I am glad to hear that they decided to lower that minimum amount and that you managed to get our your money out of there! I still don't understand why the hell they enabled depositing RBTC if they don't plan to let people trade in the near future. I mean its one thing to enable deposits few days ahead of trading, but this is something completely different and doesn't make absolutely no sense to me.

Yep, that's the big mistake that OP did as according to both CMC and Coingecko, RBTC is not tradable on Gate at all. That still doesn't explain why minimum withdrawal  and withdrawal fees are so high. It doesn't make any sense to me, other than to entrap those who don't pay attention and don't check properly before depositing.


Both Kucoin and Bitfinex have very similar RBTC/BTC ratio. On Kucoin its 0.99 and on Bitfonex 0.98, so almost 1:1

Few of my friends are regularly using Gate to buy some shitcoins and I don't remember them having any kind of issues  so far, but what they did is very sneaky and shady. I mean, to enable deposit of the currency that you can't trade for anything and then set ridiculously high minimum withdrawal is basically an entrapment. And then when you add 8!! RBTC fee...It's something that not even shitty exchanges like Yobit and HitBTC would do I think.

One can argue that it's your own fault for not checking for what you can use RBTC for before depositing, but still, I wouldn't expect this from any exchange that cares about their reputation.

@Arrrvin I am curious now, what are the RBTC withdrawal fees for RBTC on Bitfinex/Kucoin?

While I agree that Crash win was controversial as there were few clearly better movies nominated that year (Brokeback Mountain, Capote, Good night and good luck) I don't remember anything of that sorts surrounding Schindler's List. As a mater of act, I think that this is the first time I hear someone saying that about Schindler's List.

When you look at the competition that year (The Fugitive, In the Name of the Father, The Piano and The Remains of the Day), only maybe In the Name of the Father comes relatively close. All other films can't simply match Steven Spielberg's masterpiece. Tehnical part of the movie was superb, and on top of that both Lian Neeson and especially Ralph Fiennes (he should have an an Oscar for his brilliant portray of Amon Goeth) probably had career roles.



Yep, it is a shame that Hopkins won't probably win an Oscar for this. Despite the odds I think I will bet some money on him, just in case he wins by some miracle.

Problem here is that (for bounty hunters that is) if bounty hunters only join the bounty campaigns led by reputable managers, they probably wouldn't join more than a few bounty campaigns per year. I don't think that I know about any bounty manager that is consistently bringing new altcoin campaigns and in the same time asking for escrow in BTC/ETH or any of the other top currencies , as that's the only way that they can somewhat ensure that bounty campaign will be paid off.

The same way I can't believe that bounty hunters keep joining dozens of campaigns in hope that one or two will bring them something, I have issues understanding why any project would opt for bounty campaign when reach of an average bounty hunter is almost 0. Content they make is usually subpar, and on social media they follow each other anyway. This might have worked some time in the past (I guess) when all top altcoins had their ANN thread here on bitcointalk. But now? No chance.

All you have to know about this is when you look at the ease that projects like Dego decide to screw bounty hunters. Their bounty pool of 100,000 DEGO is currently worth ~1 million USD, and at one point is was even 2.5 million, so no wonder that they decided to screw bounty hunters knowing that nothing can really happen to them. They will get some heat on bitcointalk, ban some users on Telegram and continue with their business as usual.

Or even better made a child board where people can talk about sports in general, rather than sending them to offtopic where we know that there won't be much interest due at least one reason: majority of signature campaigns, posts there are not counted towards weekly quota, therefore people will be less inclined to post there. That's how it is, whether we like it or not. People tend to post where their posts are counted for.



Yeah I guess that's the probably the main reason why that thread has been moved, but I am sure that there are many other threads where people are talking about sport in general and not about betting on specific events, odds etc and are still there. Maybe it's time for some spring cleaning on that board.

Yeah I agree with that, that idea is not dead yet, unfortunately. But we do now that Perez is a liar and I don't believe a single thing he says. Like when he said that Bayern, BVB and PSG were not invited at all, which was later revealed to be nothing but a lie.


That's for sure. If you remove Super League thread because no one is talking about betting, then you gonna have to remove bunch of other topics from that board too.

That explanation would make sense if there is no other Super League themed threads in the Gambling Dicussion board, namely European Super League? made back in October 2020 and it's still there. From what I could see, it's not any different than the thread started by @igehhh.

My guess is that it's simply moved from there as by the looks of it, it won't be possible to bet on anything related to SuperLeague in the foreseeable future, but still it kinda fits more to Gambling Discussion thread where all other sports discussions are than in off-topic where threads go to die.

Exactly this. All those media outlets can be bought, some for few hundreds of dollars, some for morw but end result is the same - they can't be trusted.

Regarding this bitwats miners, if you use mining calculator it turns out that ROI for their miners is approximately one month, maybe a bit more. If those miners were really that good, no one in their right mind would sell them just yet, with them being so efficient.

Rule of thumb:if something sounds too good to be true=scam.

First time I read your topic about PlanB and stock-to-flow, I really though it's way too optimistic (I am usually a bit cautious about BTC predictions, some would say even too much) but looking it at the current situation where market  follows it, gets me really excited. Even I started thinking that $1 million by 2025 is possible.

Anyway, just saw a PlanB tweet where he is even relieved by this last correction. Looks like BTC pumping the eay it did so far was too much even for him

Hah, what a coincidence, just yesterday I watched Bitcoin vs Gold debate between Michael Saylor and Frank Giustra. It was actually pretty good and I suggest to watch it!

To answer your question, I don't think that Bitcoin Vs Gold is even needed. Both can coexist as a store of value and even though I am not willing to exchange my BTC for gold, I certainly understand the people that prefer gold.

True, they way we look a corrections like this is just a matter of experience, and it can indeed be frightening for someone who thinks hat he lost 20-30% of his portfolio  after months of constant growth where it looked like you can't make a wrong move.

If I remember correctly there 5 similar corrections during 2017 bull run, and so far this year I think that we experienced two or three. So a least few more ahead, if we are basing it on previous bull run, which may be completely different as market is more mature imho.

Just to clarify this, you don't need anyone's permission to tag someone who  you think that is a scammer. As simple as that.

@sujonali1819 you might wanna consider raising a flag against @xcryptos.io, just so warning is more visible to newbies and guests. I know that I will gladly support it!

Care to share those connections between Illuminati and bitcoin as I never saw anything even remotely legit evidence that would connect those two things. Unless you mean that if some Illuminati owns some bitcoin, that they are "conected"? By that logic I am connected to Bitcoin as I also have some


I don't get conspiracy theories at all; people don't know something, and then they add even more unknown things into equation and claim that to be the truth. This reminds me of that famous meme "I don't know therefore aliens", with that guy from Ancient Aliens, Giorgio Tsoukalos

@Zilon for the love of God, please correct that "barned" thing in the name of the topic too as it sticks out as a sore thumb.

To answer your questions, yeah, banned users have a chance to get their accounts unbanned, albeit chances for that are extremely low and forum members seldom get a 2nd chance. I would like if punishment for some of the rule violations is not the instant ban but something that is just temporary but I also understand that just going for the straight ban is much easier thing to do so I don't expect it to change any time soon.

Exactly this. To me it looks like they are scared so by opening those kind of threads they are looking for reassurance that BTC is not dead or whatever they mention in the topic.

It's just business as usual at Bitcoin Discussion board. If BTC suddenly pumps to 65k same kind of people will make a thread about BTC going through the 100k this month.

Crypto rent-a-advisors is another tragicomic story..I planned for a long time to make topic about those leeches that are ready to "advise" and sell their name for a couple of bucks but somehow never wrote it.  And worst of all, they usually don't have any repercussions, they just go from one project to another, selling their name so scammy projects looks more legit. Some of those specimens are also on BDAM advisory board.



I saw those two weasels ( Martin Ploom and Frederik Lund) on bunch of scammy projects and honestly when I see them, in my mind there is immediately something wrong with the project. BDAM is no exception, if they ever vetted those two and projects they "advised" they wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

Fair enough, I guess that could have happened.

Problem is, exactly the same excuse has been used so many times before by a bunch of scam projects each and every time they got caught for something; whether it was incompetent team member who forgot to include reference links in the whitepaper, or simply lazy developer who used placeholder images for team members. Point is, it was always someone else's fault so even if on some odd ocassion that's really the case and project didn't intend to scam anyone but were victims themselves, no one on this forum will believe it (including me).
