I don't think mrquackquack will comment in this topic, he'll prolly not even see this topic, except maybe a pm is sent to him, to notify him of this thread, and I think that is also not necessary. He looks interested to connect to various people from different parts of the world, I don't know why, and it is definitely not wrong as well. Maybe a user who has actually sent him a pm or had a discussion with him privately can tell us what it was about, if they do not mind of course.

I didn't mean your post is wrong, nor did I contradict myself. If Op was recently hacked or scammed, he can't get any useful information on the hackers address from an exchange, as his stolen funds is nothing near a high profile crime, see the example I gave initially. I used impossible, rather than improbable to dissuade OP and other newbies who think it's possible to recover their funds, but go on to fall for a second scam in the process of recovery, as we've seen on numerous occasions.

Even if one tracks a users address to the exchange used, it'll be impossible to get the exchange to give out the address owners identity. Exchanges can only give out that info in a case of a high profile crime or hack, for example if it's a case like the famous twitter hack involving prominent individuals like the ex POTUS; so just tracking any address to an exchange will be more or less useless.

Some quality players have turned successful managers lately, pep and Zidane to mention a few, and I admire that clubs give their legends an opportunity to try out their managerial skills in the team they played for and loved so much. But in Juve's case, tbh, I expected an established manager, Juve want Instant fix, they want the ucl. Pirlo has to adapt and it'll take time; I know pep and Zidane succeeded instantly, but what if Pirlo doesn't, will the club be ready to give him time, this is a gamble imo.
For managers who love more of team play than individual efforts, having Ronaldo is a burden. No doubts about his quality and desire but the coaches instructions should be adhered to always. Ronaldo wants to be the star man always, even in games he's having little or no impact, and if the coach is to make a tactical change that'll see him go off, all hell will be let loose, that's lack of team desire/play imo.

No user would rescind his feedback because a website launched a signature campaign, in the case of best_change, they were able to clear their websites name and even at that, the red tags still remained, but then their signature campaign went on for months and the users in the campaign were paid smoothly as well the fact that there was no fresh issue against their website, so it's fair to say the website can be trusted and thus almost every user who had initially left a negative, revised it to a positive or neutral.

That being said, 1xbit is doing nothing to clear their name from the initial scam accusation, so I'm sure the tags will remain till that happens.

Holding you cash is practically the same thing with keeping it in the bank when inflation/devaluation hits. The banks though provides safety of your funds from theft and robbery, you'll not be seeing people withdrawing large sums, only to keep it at home, you can be tracked and your money will be stolen, those withdrawing prolly have needs to be met.

I don't know your country, but a situation of a bank going bankrupt in my country or a first world country is next to impossible, the banking sector is responsible for your funds, with so many measures in place to avoid insolvency. And in a situation were the bank is going through a rough time, you'll get your funds back, though devalued, and that is why investors choose to buy gold and bitcoin to avoid that, but rather make profits.

At the point when the pandemic shed it's milk teeth, investors and individuals became aware of how vulnerable fiat is in a situation of an economic meltdown. After the lockdown, that left the economy staggering, we've seen the printing of more money out of thin air that can create inflation, third world economies and poor countries are as well going to be hit with recession and possible hyperinflation. What all this means is the devaluation of the fiat currencies. But I've been closely monitoring gold/bitcoin prices during this pandemic, in case you didn't know, gold price surged above 2k per ounce for the first time ever last week and analysts think it can get to 4000 in a few years.

Bitcoin has also surged to 11k despite the pandemic, imo gold and btc are somewhat "safe haven" assets, this pandemic is a real test to know how well they can hold up investors funds, when everything is crashing and they have been doing great in the market, the number of people that will turn to these assets as time goes on will continue to increase, to evade inflation and the devaluation of their money in their bank accounts, and it will continue to push their prices up.

P.S. I do not think it's early to tag them as safe assets, people previously said they were yet to be tested in a dire situation, for me, that test came this year, with the pandemic and it's effects.

Imo, there is a reason why the U.S. pulled through with printing more money for stimulus bonuses, but most countries cannot, and it's cause the U.S. dollar is so strong and their economy is the best. If other countries choose to follow suit, they will be hit with hyperinflation in next to no time, the U.S. like you said, have prolly not gotten away with this, but with a viable economy like theirs, you'll not envisage a situation of hyperinflation in the U.S.; so I'd think the repercussions will be minimal in the U.S.A.
The period when the spread of the virus slows down (can't see an end in years) will be a tough period for the world economy, I doubt it'll help, I think that's the time the aftermath of this pandemic will start to take it's toll on the economy, with recession and inflation, and a large chunk of people jobless. Mind you, that will be the period of economic recovery and it'll take many years to fully recover, during which there will be beneficial opportunity costs forgone that will 'cost' the economy much.

Not true imo, those in the poor class value any money they can lay their hands on, I do not know where you got the idea above from, but people I know who aren't wealthy are prudent with how much money they spend, down to the last dollar bill, if you spend recklessly while in poverty, you'll definitely run out of funds and inevitably, food. It's the rich class imo that can afford to be reckless with how much they spend, it's a normal human trait, you can afford to spend money with less caution, when you know there is a large inflow of income for you and you do not have to worry about basic needs like food and the rest.

It'd be good if society can be classless, but in the world today, it's a case of the rich getting richer, while the poor, poorer. The gap is wider than ever atm and more impossible to breach.

Chelsea lives matter, lol, but obviously Bayern Munich didn't care, they look like the major threat to City winning the UCL this season, I'd love to see a Bayern Munich vs City final. Barcelona are also there too, they may not be in the best form, but they are used to winning champions league titles. The UCL this season is so unpredictable and interesting despite the break, empty stadiums and now, one legged ties moving forward, football is indeed the beautiful game.

How many countries other than the United States issued stimulus cheques to it's citizens, and how many citizens would use their stimulus bonuses to buy cryptocurrencies, mind you this cheque was meant to give people funds to meet some of their needs since they couldn't go to work and it is difficult to make money during this period; and tbh I am sure a large chunk of that money went into stuffs like food, paying bills and other house needs. The stimulus cheque did nothing to move btc from 9k to 11k.

Me too, I don't see any reason why pep will leave City for Juventus, Guardiola seems happy in England and is loving the competition between Klopp and himself, he is surely waiting for next season to try and get the title back, City are also in a UCL QF, and are looking real good to win the title this year, pep is building something with city and I don't think they'll part ways anytime soon.

I'm guessing it's going to be Pochettino, he has been out without a job for quite a while now, I'm sure he has been approached by many clubs and maybe he's waiting for the right job that'll suit him, in a country/city he likes. I like poch's attacking style of play, and imo he'll bring a different pattern that'll suit juve.

I would rather add that the likelihood of you profiting is hinged on when you bought, if your accumulation period was when the price was low or when the price plunged fast, for example this year when corona virus shed it's milik teeth, if you buy in periods like that, chances are sky high you'll profit in the long run.

But if you buy in a bull run, like the last one we had when bitcoin reached it's ath, the chances are that your profit would come after a very long time, it has failed to reach the ath since the last one, but I think if anyone who bought then is still holding, I believe they will be making profits anytime within the 12 months of next year, cause imo, bitcoin is set to go above it's previous ath.

I don't think so, centralized governments are not going to battle to accumulate decentralized bitcoins that they can't control or be a third party in, the central bank digital currency (cbdc) is different from the bitcoin, the only synonymous feature is their digital nature, the banks and the government will only support stablecoins and cbdc's that would be no different from it's fiat currency

It's definitely not the best (safest) way to do so, for a friend who I'm sure hasn't handled cryptocurrency before, she could seek assistance from some shady person and lose the gift you sent to her. Since you want it to be a surprise (gift) you could also create the wallet yourself, send the bitcoins into it and then send the recovery phrase directly to her with directions on how to download the wallet from the official website and tell her to input the phrase and boom she claims the gift you sent.

Pump and dump scheme can also make a bounty hunter to sell off tokens, these hunters have received countless tokens and seen almost all of them dump after pumping for a short while, if they hold the new tokens they receive, they could be left with a worthless coin in next to no time; if I myself was to receive an altcoin token right now, I'll also sell it off immediately, they can't be a form of long term investment due to how they pump and dump, and never rise again.

It can boost the economy. Money is one of the factors of production, and also the most important factor in economic growth and development; the corona virus pandemic created a situation were money became scarce for citizens and their businesses also due to lockdown and other restrictions, stimulus bonuses can reactivate the economy by providing funds for individuals, so they will in turn patronize other businesses that fits their taste, business men and women can also channel the funds to growing their businesses again, the checks are given to stimulate citizens, so they'll in turn stimulate the economy; the only downside of this is the possibility of inflation in years to come.
The U.S printing money for stimulus packages can't affect the price of bitcoin, only if you look at a scenario where majority of citizens buy bitcoins to evade the inflation of their currency, that is then more demand and a price appreciation to follow.
