By end of 2025 with 7 BTC and 70 ETH you will have a one million USD exposure to crypto
What are your thoughts?


Maybe 7 BTC will be enough for you to become a millionaire in USD, because for that to happen you need a price of 1 BTC = $140k+. If that $1 million can satisfy you in life, then you can retire early or whatever - of course when you pay the tax Wink
502  Economy / Economics / Re: Food security might not be a priority for younger generations. (2) on: February 14, 2024, 11:32:15 AM
There is a huge possibility of younger or new generations adopting cryptocurrency investments compared to them getting interests on farming and food related sectors. What do you think? Does it have a good or bad effects on our economy?

In general, it is bad that society is turning more and more into system addicts, rejecting any form of self-sufficiency at the same time. Modern societies of the western world think that food falls from the sky straight into shopping centers where they just come, choose what they want and pay with their card. Unfortunately, this approach to life causes the mass production of mostly poisoned food and the destruction of the environment and drinking water.

All this has a very negative effect on people's health, and more and more sick people are just a burden for any economy, no matter how successful it is. I don't know if any of you have heard of the areas of the world called "blue zones", but that's one of the ways people should try to live because today's way of life will fall on our heads sooner or later.
503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Spot ETFs hit $10 Billion milestone just one month after approval on: February 14, 2024, 11:01:36 AM
~snip~
How many bitcoin do you think these funds will hold by the end of the year? Over a million? The sky is the limit.


Maybe 500k BTC, maybe 1 million BTC - but doesn't anyone think that spot BTC ETFs are not a one-way street and what will happen when all of them (or most BTC) go in the other direction? People who invest in this way have no other intentions than to profit, so even though it looks incredibly positive for the price right now, I think the next bear market will be one of the toughest we've had yet.

But there is no point in speculating about it and spoiling the moment of great enthusiasm, because the bulls have finally woken up and are destroying everything in front of them.

Have you tried VPN while connected to your wifi? It could be workaround for your problem. Anyway, i just inspect network connection when opening freebitco.in and found out it access some CSS and JS file from 3rd party website. It's possible your ISP block one of them.

As for the specific site, it may not be wise to try to log in with a VPN, because any change of IP address usually activates a security check (verification via e-mail), although it may also result in account blocking if someone on the other side suspects that the OP has more than one account.



Okay, so I tried logging in using my work computer which is on my same network, same issue.  Tried on my phone, but turned off my wifi and sure enough it worked--turned on wifi and the page broke.  This makes absolutely ZERO sense to me. 
~snip~


@ABCbits is then very likely right, your internet service provider is blocking something from that page for some reason and preventing it from loading properly, and one of the possible solutions would be to contact them and explain your problem. Maybe they (the ISP) have changed something in your modem (this can be done remotely), and if your modem has a firewall option, it is possible that this is the reason you have problems loading that page.

How about learning to post pictures that are the appropriate size for the forum? Otherwise, refrain from such posts, which do not benefit anyone, and only cause problems for everyone who has slow internet and limited data traffic.

In addition, you are promoting CW shitcoin and a website that directly supports this scammer Angry
506  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin commercials on: February 13, 2024, 03:59:32 PM
I'm not someone who would promote the CEX in question, but when we have one of the most beautiful sportswomen in the world and one of the most popular soccer players in the same advertisement, maybe that deserves attention in this topic Smiley

But since OP mention free spin (which usually offered by casino), gambling board is probably better option.


I'm pretty sure that the OP is referring to the freebitco site that offers free spins via e-mail once every 24 hours, and since I've been a member of that site for about 10 years, I can only say that everything works normally for me. Given that the OP has tried different browsers, it is hard to say what is causing the page to not display correctly, but since others are not reporting such a problem, it must be something specific to his computer/internet.
508  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Do Kwon arrested on: February 13, 2024, 11:13:06 AM
Upon researching the documentary, it's entitled "Bitconned". It's now on my watchlist. It seems like an interesting documentary for Bitcoin and also educational purposes.

Yes, it's that documentary - and I avoided watching it for a long time because I don't like stories where criminals get away without any punishment. It's really incredible what a man did without getting any punishment for it.

It can be similar to that situation but is there any known accomplices with Do Kwon that they may try for a bigger fish to catch or something?

What I do know is that there were a lot of famous people who promoted that project, and the famous Michael Novogratz tattoo was remembered as one of the dumber moves. Also, not so long before everything went downhill, CZ and his CEX were promoting these tokens/stablecoins as a "safe investment", and accordingly it seems to me that Do Kwon has something to offer the US authorities for some sort of settlement.

It is worth noting that in order to put 500 Euros on the side every MONTH means you need a pretty good salary out here in Europe.  I would assume it is more likely that average Europeans would be able to put less than a quarter of that on the side instead.
But even then.  100 Euros per month since 2017 would get you to about 50 thousand Euros today with an investment of 7.2 thousand.  Amazing none the less.

...

Did you maybe read my post? I wrote something about it, so you could get a much better picture of how much someone can set aside per month for such investments.

Fun side note, I was talking to someone at the dog park yesterday who I had never met and I mentioned I retired early and he was like "oh you must have that bitcoin money", and I was like oh wow yes actually that's exactly it I retired off of Bitcoin. I like when people I meet recognize the wealth creation power of Bitcoin without me even prompting them!


You must live in a very safe country or you don't care too much about your own safety when you talk about such things with strangers in the park. Maybe the stranger doesn't have bad intentions, but someone else who hears a story about a person who has a lot of money might not have such good intentions.

What would you say when you get results like these?

The anticipated BTC bull run we've been awaiting has already begun, in fact, we're already in the midst of the upward surge. Today, I truly realized this hidden secret when I was just checking my watchlist and noticed the recent movements on the BTC chart over the past three months.BTC has formed a very robust bullish pattern known as the V-pattern. This V-pattern emerges as a bottom price pattern when an asset stops decreasing in value or when buyers in the market overwhelm sellers. Upon recognizing this pattern, I recalled the advice shared by experienced members in this forum to "buy the lows of the markets" and the ongoing bull run we're experiencing.
These opportunities are not distant, they're happening now, so let's seize the moment, my friends. I've already invested in BTC myself ☺️, but please note that this isn't a direct recommendation for you to buy as well. Be sure to conduct your own analysis and research before making any decisions.

Shrinkflation seems to be one of the biggest problems in the US - because a great leader addressed the people and shared his thoughts Roll Eyes Personally, I don't even mind that the packaging of unhealthy products has decreased, because that should be good for health, right?

I would answer - this is great! Healthy competition is always good. Monopoly is evil)

I'll just say that not only did you show a high dose of amateurism with your service, but you also show that you don't even know how to read. I really don't know what's wrong with people who agree to test things like this - because it's obvious that you'll have to write a review, which I have no doubt will be positive.

If the whole thing goes the way most similar projects do, you'll just be participating in it in a very cheap way...

In the end, perseverance seems to be the key here. He's not putting an incredible amount of money down every month, but still he has managed to obtain a lot of Bitcoin, 4.47 BTC from his last update.
Have you tried something similar?, maybe now thinking about doing it?, I think it's a great idea.


I would not agree that this is not an "incredible amount of money" and even for a good part of people living in the countries of the European Union -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_Union_member_states_by_minimum_wage

For some, like people in Bulgaria, it is even more than the minimum wage, and with the exception of some very rich countries, it would be a difficult mission to achieve. Of course, this does not mean that the method is not good and everyone can adapt it to their needs - so let's say someone does the same thing with 100 EUR per month, he would have five times less, but he would still be very close to having 1 BTC.

What is now clearly visible is that this kind of investment is very profitable in the long term and can be much better than relying on pension funds.

@Zaguru12, +1 because you know how to use a search engine, which I would certainly suggest to anyone who is interested in something before opening a new topic.



Regarding this specific "attack", I have already written before that it is difficult for me to imagine someone who could be so naive to be deceived in this way. I believe that it has been warned thousands of times that we must always check the coin addresses to which we send and receive transactions, and that such nonsense as copying an address from a transaction is nothing but a reckless action that obviously costs a lot for some.

I also think that the word "poisoning" is a bit exaggerated and scares users even more than it should. I would rather use the word "luring", something like when fishermen catch fish, but the bait still attracts only some fish, while the cautious ones avoid a bad fate.

"The identity case is expected to hinge on expert analysis of documents on computer memory sticks which Wright says he found in a drawer at his home last year. Wright will maintain that these will show his work leading up to the registration of www.bitcoin.org in 2008 and the minting of the first bitcoins in January 2009. (The blockchain contains the front-page headline of The Times on 3 January, 2009.)"
https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news-focus/news-focus-bitcoin-identity-dispute-comes-to-court/5118638.article


The man who has been fighting with all his might since 2016 to prove that he is Satoshi, only last year decided to open his drawer and see what was in it? This really proves his "genius" in everything he does - and if this "proof" fails what's next - maybe a picture of him and Hal Finney drinking coffee while talking about how Bitcoin is something wonderful?

~snip~
For example , even if only 1 document proves that csw is satoshi judge will declare him as satoshi , while community will dispute that and stick to the point that the others are forgeries . Why so ? Because we are not judges or lawyers .


1 document that may appear to be legitimate and 499 documents that are proven to be fabricated only prove that he is still a scammer who forges everything he can get his hands on. You can think whatever you want, but that man you think is Satoshi is not even capable of things that children do in elementary school, let alone something as complex as the invention of Bitcoin.
518  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Do Kwon arrested on: February 12, 2024, 10:39:35 AM
Thank you for the explanation guys. It seems that it's getting really interesting how things are turning out with all the scamming, masterminds playing with emotions and money to make a quick buck, loads and loads of money. The South Korean authorities probably want him to take responsibility and I think it's very important for them to take action knowing he is a Korean.

When you see how various criminals pass in front of the US judiciary, you are not surprised that Do Kwon obviously wants to avoid being extradited to South Korea at all costs. I heard a long time ago about the case of the company Centra, which was run by the notorious criminal Raymond Trapani, and now a documentary about him and that company has appeared on N, where a man who literally admits that he wants to be a criminal and that he stole tens of millions of dollars from people all over the world after the trial does not get not a single day in prison because he cooperated with the authorities.

I assume that by delaying the extradition, Do Kwon is probably trying to reach some sort of agreement with the US authorities, and of course, in that agreement, he would receive a minimal sentence with his cooperation.

You are absolutely correct - our cards are exclusively designed for online transactions. The minimum amount to replenish the account balance is $100. The card itself costs $30, with $10 of this amount credited to the card's account. All relevant information, including the terms and conditions, can be found within your personal account. Subsequently, you may top up the card with any amount you desire. We greatly appreciate your feedback and have taken your points into consideration. Rest assured, we will address these in our upcoming update.

What if I tell you that there is a service that also offers virtual cards without KYC, but with some much greater benefits?

Registration is not required, the value on the card is up to $1000, the card is valid for 3 years and can be added to Google/ApplePay, so it can also be used for physical payments. With all that and the unprofessionalism you show, why would anyone use your service?

Also read the forum rules - Posting multiple posts in a row is not allowed.
520  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Do Kwon arrested on: February 11, 2024, 03:20:44 PM
@crwth, according to my understanding, Do Kwon only succeeded in postponing the extradition decision, but I don't see that in the end he won't be extradited to one of the countries that are looking for him. I read that what he is accused of is that he can get a life sentence in South Korea as well, and I'm not sure what kind of punishment he can hope for in the US.

It is possible that the sentence there would be smaller, because one of the recent topics deals with a fraud of as much as $1.89 billion and the sentences for the perpetrators are 5-10 years in the US. What seems to me is that the South Korean authorities are much more interested in Do Kwon's extradition, and his associate was escorted to his homeland by a whole team of agents from South Korea.

To all this, it should be added that an investigation was recently requested into the entry of DO Kwon from Serbia into Montenegro, given that he did not do so legally. Some influential names of Montenegrin politicians who participated in it are even mentioned.
