Yes, he was exposed already. However, the new project managers in this forum are mostly unaware of these developments. It is possible that they didn't pay attention to his recent actions, or even if they did, they decided to continue with him because he is one of the top merit earners.

I don't think you have followed his entire case. Otherwise, you won't say these things. Ratimov wasn't a scammer or a cheater. Maybe he lied somewhere, but the fact is, we all lie at some point. The main reason Ratimov's fall started was his behavior. He has a terrible personality when it comes to talking with others. Whenever you oppose his idea, he will attack you. He will try to find your mistakes to prove you are wrong instead of fixing his own issues. He has abused the feedback system for his own benefit.

Ratimov could have handled all these things by saying sorry and accepting his abuse. But he started doing strange things like wiping out useful threads, deleting feedback, and wiping out the trust list. He have withdrawn the funds from a contest where he was the sponsor. Maybe there are many more that I do not remember at this moment.

No really. Nobody can give you a guarantee of profit, and nobody can say that you must lose. If they say, it's the wrong statement. This is not true at all. You may lose if you play with it, like trying to trade on exchanges, double your bitcoin by gambling, or try crypto doubler or hyip websites. Most crypto newbies fall into traps when they see some nice offers. But whenever you see some offers that are too good to be true, they will likely be scams!

If you want to know mine, I didn't buy Bitcoin. I have earned most of the holding from several signature campaigns and some crypto projects where I worked with them. I lost too much in my first bull run because of my inexperience. But I hope it won't happen this time.

Yes. I am talking about Tumbler signature campaign. It wasn't known that the mixers would be banned after January 1st when they had completed the deal. philipma1957 himself received 6 months' payment upfront and other contract-type participants also received the upfront payment. I have seen this somewhere, and it was philipma1957 who posted it.

The campaign manager didn't hire Ratimov for the signature campaign. I have seen here or somewhere else that some participants were hired by [banned mixer] management and have been paid upfront. Strangely, you wouldn't blame him if he stole the money from the signature campaign. Very unexpected statement from you.

আমার আসলে তেমন কোনো প্রজেক্ট এ কাজ করার এক্সপেরিয়েন্স নাই। বেশ কিছু ইন্টারন্যাশনাল টাইপের এক্সন্জে এ কাজ করার ট্রাই করেছিলাম। তবে বেশিরভাগ এক্সচেন্জগুলো বাংলাদেশ থেকে হায়ার করে না। এর পেছনে কি কারন থাকতে পারে জানি না। তবে ক্রিপ্টোকারেন্সি ব্যান আমাদের অনেকের জীবনে একটা অভিশাপের মতো হয়ে আছে। ব্যান উঠে গেলে খুব উপক্রিত হবো ব্যাপার টা এমন ও না। তবে, দুইটা সাইডেই বেশ সমস্যা আছে।

জানি না আপনি কোনে সার্ভিস সেলিং এর কথা বলছেন। তবে আপাতত ফোরামে সিগন্যাচার সেলিং ছাড়া তেমন কিছু করছি না। ট্রান্সলেশন করতে আমার ভালো লাগে। বেশ কিছু টপিক ট্রান্সলেট করার পর AOBT তে জয়েন করলাম। দেখা যাক, সেখান থেকে কিছু কাজ হাতে পাই কি না।

First of all, Thanks for this contest.
Thank you, Light Warrior, for your contribution. The forum will miss you. Stay well.

My predicted price is
Here is why; Bitcoin has already touched the 44K price range, and it is down a little for now. Since ETF approvals are awaiting, we may see some movements in the market. I don't know much about it. Since the ETF approval estimated after January 9, it won't affect much. So, I will pick 44550 as my prediction.

Game 1:  20, 20'
Game 2:  20, 20'

I don't know what wallet you used when you started your crypto journey. But, in my country, most people start with popular exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, or Kucoin. Because these are the popular exchanges that almost everyone knows about. Sometimes, someone who hasn't used crypto knows about Binance or Coinbase because they saw that their friends are using it. Another reason why they use exchanges is because they can buy/sell their coin easily with the exchanges. But they don't know the possibility of being hacked, their accounts being frozen, and most importantly, they do not have control over their funds.

I have spent much time explaining why they should not use exchanges as wallets, but I was mocked instead. When I am alone, and trying to explain to ten people who are fanboys of those exchanges, and they always end up insulting me, saying they know better than me 

Hey, Digaran. You just posted something that I was thinking about. I was discussing with a forum member about Ratimov's possible death, and he pointed out the same thing, "theme". LOL. So, I assume the guy already received six months' payment in advance for his signature space, but he doesn't want to return it. Now, he cannot join another campaign anytime soon.

So, he prepared a plan to not return the fund without ruining the account's reputation. He came up with the death announcement so the campaign manager does not create a scam accusation thread and does not create a flag. How is that?

Yes, I understood. This is not a huge mistake. But I appreciate your attitude and how you handled the criticism. There are some common things that you should keep in mind. Please never quote the entire thread and never quote the pyramid quote. The pyramid quote is when people quote multiple replies but those are unnecessary. When you want to say something about something, please quote the part you are replying to. This will look good. Whenever you see a big list of users and your username in it too, quote your name only and delete other usernames because they will be notified too if you quote them. We have a couple of users on our local thread who used to add @before usernames and mention multiple users in a post unnecessarily which is annoying. Anyways, thanks for understanding.

তারা যে অটোমেটিক পেমেন্ট প্রসেস করে সেটা যখন তাদের কন্টেস্ট হয়, সেই সময়েই আমি খেয়াল করেছিলাম। তবে তারাও থার্ড পার্টি পেমেন্ট গেটওয়ে ব্যাবহার করে থাকে। তবে এদের সাথে জড়িত হওয়ার ইচ্ছা নাই আপাতত, তাই এগুলা নিয়ে ঘাটাঘাটি করে লাভ নাই। কিন্তু আমি চাচ্ছিলাম এক্সচেঞ্জ বিজনেস করতে। কিন্তু দেশের যে পরিস্থিতি, এই অবস্থায় বিকাশ নগদ দিয়ে পেমেন্ট নিয়ে বা পেমেন্ট করে লেনদেন করাও রিস্ক মনে হচ্ছে। একমাত্র উপায় হচ্ছে ডলার টু ডলার বাই সেল করা। অথবা নেটেলার টু স্ক্রিল। কিন্তু এভাবে ব্যাবসা করে আসলে তেমন কোনো লাভ হবে না। সকলের পরামর্শ নিয়েই তাই আপাতত এই বিজনেস এর প্ল্যান মাথা থেকে ঝেড়ে ফেলতে হচ্ছে।

What kind of bullshit it is?
It's annoying as fuck. You didn't need to quote the entire community member list. I don't remember where it was posted but I guess it is 1miau who suggested others not to quote the entire post or a pyramid quote. It does not look good at all. Moreover, you just notified 150 people with one post and it was unnecessary. I may sound rude, but you need to learn these things.

No, everyone won't. Just like you did not say that Bitcointalk is better than YouTube, but you have pointed out why YouTube is important, too. I  don't think there are more legitimate sources than BitcoinTalk in the crypto space, where you may get the most accurate guide. But the problem is not everyone will understand just by reading the text. If you want your guide to be more understandable, you could record your screen and share what you were talking about. This is how YouTube has become one of my favorite platforms to learn anything. The problem is the content creators want views. That's why they publish bullshit videos without even knowing what they are talking about. But the ratio is not too big. You have to filter some legit content creators!

এক্সচেঞ্জ এর ব্যাবসা করতে গেলে নিজের আইডেন্টিটি হাইড রাখা কঠিন একটা ব্যাপার হবে। এটা সত্তিই বলেছেন। তবে আমি যদি অন্য কারো নামে ব্যাংক একাউন্ট, বিকাশ, নগদ খুলে নিয়ে করতে পারতাম, সেই ক্ষেত্রে ভালো হতো। সত্যি বলতে কিছু টাকা খরচ করলে এগুলো ও করা সম্ভব। তবে, আমার জন্য নিরীহ কেউ ফেসে যাক, সেটাও চাইবো না। ফেইসবুকের কিছু গ্রুপে দেখলাম বিকাশ মার্চেন্ট একাউন্ট সেল করছে যেগুলোর মাধ্যমে পেমেন্ট গ্রহন করা যাবে। তবে সেগুলো কতোটুকু ট্রাস্টেড, সেই ব্যাপারে আমার যথেষ্ট সন্দেহ আছে। আর প্রাইভেসির যে ব্যাপার টা, আমি যখন ব্যাংক এ টাকা পাঠাবো, তখন আমার রিয়েল নাম, একাউন্ট নম্বর থেকে শুরু করে সব তথ্য সেখানে থাকবে। যা আসলেই চিন্তার ব্যাপার। এসব চিন্তা মাথায় আসলে বিজনেস এর চিন্তা ম্থা থেকে উরে যায়। কিছুদিন আগে একটা ক্যাসিনো থেকে তাদের পেমেন্ট পার্টনার হওয়ার মতো একটা সুযোগ এসেছিলো, তবে এদের সাথে বেধে গেলে ভবিষ্যৎ খুবই খারাপ হবে, এই কথা চিন্তা করে আর তাদের সাথে জয়েন করিনি। যেখানেই যাই, সেখানেই ঝামেলা।

100% No. He clearly mentioned in his post that Bitcoin is going to be one of the payment methods. When he said "One of", you should understand that this is not going to be the only payment method. I won't discourage him if he wants to accept Bitcoin as one of the payment methods. He may pick the lightning network as an alternative but not many people lightning Bitcoin network yet.

I agree with you in the other part where you mentioned the mempool congestion part. Yes, indeed, spending more than $10 as a transaction fee is not worth it. No one would pick this option while they have many other options like cash payment, card payment and others.

I am glad that I was able to help you. I haven't used their app in the past but I tried it to check how the backup process works so I could help. I am glad that you were able to get access to the wallet. But here is the most important question, As you were saying that you bought some Bitcoin from an ATM, did you get access to your fund? Did you find your Bitcoin in this wallet? Or was it empty?

Since the problem is solved, you may close this thread. To lock it, scroll down to the end of this thread and you will find the lock thread button. Thanks!

Unfortunately, there is no way we can confirm it. If there is any person who he personally could try to contact his family members to know the truth! If his death is true, then I am sorry for him. He could have been a better person, but no blame right now. But, since we are speculating that the account changed hands, we never know if it's true. I was never personally affected by any of his actions. But, I would request everyone not to hold anything bad for him since the person has passed away!

But, nothing is confirmed yet. Let's wait if we see something.

Thanks for the info.
Now it's clear that somehow your account is related to Bitcoin.com
The first question is, do you remember your master password? As you can see, you won't be able to recover your Bitcoin wallet without the master password. But, if you remember the password, I am glad that I am here to help.

First, If you have an Android device, Install this app from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcoin.mwallet

Check the email address where you have received it. Make sure to log in and the email address in your Gmail app and update your drive app on your device. Now, you are ready to go.

>> Open the app
>> Tap Skip
>> Tap on settings in the bottom right corner
>> Tap on Backup & Security
>> Enable the cloud backup button
>> Tap on Continue with Google Drive
>> Now choose the correct email where you received the wallet.data file. Now, It should say; "An Existing wallet file has been found" and it will ask for your master password and you should be ready to go.

Let me know if you understand everything or not.

It should vary from person to person. I don't know how wealthy you are. You don't know about me. 0.1 Bitcoin could be significant for someone but one Bitcoin is nothing for a company like Microstrategy. Imagine you have two friends one of them is rich and another one belongs to a middle-class family. His yearly income is less than 5K USD. Now, If your middle-class family friend has 5000 worth of Bitcoin, he may think it's enough for me. But it is nothing for your rich friend. Because he may earn 5000 USD every day!

So, it should depend on who you are, and how wealthy you are. To be honest, my 90 percent savings on Bitcoin and altcoins at this moment and I don't consider myself as Bitcoin or crypto addicted.Because I have the opportunity to sell then anytime I want. so, holding Bitcoin or having money is the same. At least I consider it as same. So, I won't say there are any levels where we can say someone is addicted.

We don't know what is going to happen in the future. But if bitcoin transactions increase day by day, the fees will remain like that and maybe it will increase further. It depends on the volume of the transactions. The ordinal things keep growing every day and the number of BRC-20 tokens and their transactions also increasing every day. A couple of Ordinal coins have been pumped in the last couple of weeks. SATS and ORDI are two of them. These two coins have been listed on Binance and since then the number of transactions has kept increasing every day. I hope more ordinal coins won't pop up in the coming weeks. The network is congested at this moment.

শুধুমাত্র এই চিন্তা করেই আজ অব্দি এই সার্ভিস খোলার সাহস করি নাই। যদিও এখন বাইনান্স অনেক বেশি জনপ্রিয় একতা প্ল্যাটফর্ম অন্তত ক্রিপ্টো কারেন্সি বাই সেল করার জন্য, তবুও অনেকের অন্যান্য কারেন্সির ডলার বাইসেল করার জন্য দেখি ফেসবুক গ্রুপে পোস্ট করে। আর এতে করে অনেকেই স্ক্যাম এর মধ্যে পরে যায়। যদিও কিছু ওয়েবসাইট আছে এসব ডলার বাই সেল করার জন্য, তারাও প্রথম কিছুদিন লেনদেন করে মানুষের আস্থা অর্জন করার পর বড় এমাউন্ট হাতে আসলেই স্ক্যাম করে বসে থাকে। এই ক্ষেত্রে ভিকটিমের কিছুই করার থাকে না। ক্রিপ্টোকারেন্সি তে প্রতারিত হলে বাংলাদেশে এর কোনো আইনি প্রতিকার আপাতত নেই। আইনের আশ্রয় নিতে গেলে উলটো আপনি নিজেই ফেসে যাবেন। ফোরামে কেনা বেচা শুরু করবো ভেবেছিলাম অনেকবারই। তবে, গ্রাহক পাবো কি না, সেই চিন্তা থেকে আর করা হয়ে ওঠে নাই।
