For someone who already has experience in online business, it should not be a problem to find or earn $5000, especially if your estimate is that the partner would earn as much as $200k in just one year, which means that the total earnings would be somewhere around $500k in the first year.


What you have shown is that you have a brand new website, as well as social networks without followers that do not guarantee anything from what you promise. In short, your credibility is zero, and I don't see why anyone would give you $5000 based on that.

I am glad that someone is still reading what others have written before writing their post

People should finally understand (though probably never will) how the media works. On the one hand, they need material to attract readers, and on the other hand, someone needs media exposure, which leads to such articles in which we did not learn anything new, and if we read between the lines, it is more than clear what the intention is behind the article.

In a world where interest rates are negative, someone promises us a profit of 17% if we buy his tokens, all packaged in the story of how one day the price of Bitcoin will be $100k - everyone on the forum knows this very well without such so-called experts

The digital currencies of central banks are not cryptocurrencies at all, but only a digitized fiat that is being created to adapt finances to the digital age in which we live. Anyone who even thinks of putting Bitcoin in the same basket with any CBDC has no idea what they are talking about, least of all if they use terms like stability and security.


All the mainstream media is under the control of the same people who control the politicians, and all of them together defend their value systems, so I don’t even expect them to say positive things about Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin has indeed shown through its short history that it can be a good insurance against inflation and can be extremely profitable, the government's position is mostly to warn potential investors that not all cryptocurrencies are equal and that there are many scams in the crypto world.

We should always keep in mind that investing in Bitcoin has possible benefits, but also risks that (let's be honest) most people today are not able to deal with. If we extend this story to altcoins, then it becomes a real nightmare for investors, but also for government services that people complain about after losing their money. Lest anyone misunderstand me, I am no fan of governments and what they do, but if we put ourselves in their position then it is quite logical that they cannot be pro-Bitcoin, it is the complete opposite of what they represent.

People who want to invest in Bitcoin should first be well informed about how transactions work, and the fact is that a very small percentage of all those who have something to do with Bitcoin know the basics. To begin with, we should clearly separate the transactions sent from non-custodial crypto wallets (where the user has absolute control) and the transactions we receive from centralized crypto exchanges.

With non-custodial wallets, we can determine the fee ourselves, but we should know that the transaction price also depends on the size of the transaction (number of inputs/outputs), while crypto exchanges charge a service fee that has nothing to do with the fee we pay to crypto miners. Many use crypto exchanges as their hot wallets, which is a completely wrong approach, not only because they pay too high a fee for each outgoing transaction - but also because they have no control over their funds, which can be frozen for any reason at any time.

Every tool, no matter how good, is not as effective in the wrong hands as it should be. Research, acquisition of knowledge + understanding and ultimately proper use are the only right path for everyone to follow.

Maybe the OP is using a public disclosure strategy, which will result in someone asking him privately which bot it is - and if he claims the bot is profitable to that extent, then there will certainly be those who will be interested.

Not only are bots a problem in the sense that they are scams, but a much bigger problem is that people think it's something that runs and makes money without the need for any knowledge of crypto trading. I have always considered them as an additional tool for those who want to increase their efficiency, but provided they know what they are doing - otherwise bots can be quite useless.

I remembered one example of testing a bot from one of our members -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5206137.0

I think this should be especially emphasized when it comes to Trezor, because the customer must know that he is buying something that has a vulnerability that can be very easily exploited if the device falls into the wrong hands without additional protection (passphrase). Hacking that costs about $100 in equipment and about 5 minutes in the time it takes to hack a device is a serious security flaw.

As far as I know, such a vulnerability does not exist on other hardware wallets, although one should always count on someone to be able to find a similar vulnerability in the future. Personally, I'm not afraid that someone will steal my HW and hack it, but that someone will discover a way to hack our HW remotely when we connect them online, no matter how unbelievable it may seem at the moment.

For now, it seems that this data leak cannot be compared to what came out of Ledger, but perhaps the reason is that the hacker still keeps the hacked data to himself, and will later try to sell it until it is finally publicly available. In the event that only e-mails are found to be hacked, the whole thing will most likely be quickly swept under the rug - especially if we know that hundreds of thousands of Ledger customers ended up much worse, and today almost no one mentions that it happened (although I read that there are some lawsuits).

Even if it is not 80%, not every survey, even outside Russia, can be Putin's propaganda. The fact is that the vast majority of the 150 million people see nothing wrong with their country doing aggression against another country, and remember what it was like in our country in 1991 - is there a difference in the minds of the people who started the bloody war then and now with the aim of occupation and ethnic cleansing?

Here is a survey of 3000 Russians that shows how they think when asked a direct question and how they react when asked differently.

https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2022/04/06/do-russians-tell-the-truth-when-they-say-they-support-the-war-in-ukraine-evidence-from-a-list-experiment/

Don’t mix up some things here and talk about those who are innocent and those who are guilty, because in a situation where most are trying to stop the war, everyone (including crypto exchanges) feels the need to contribute in some way to force one country to give up its aggressive and criminal intentions. All research shows that more than 80% of Russians support war, and it is impossible to separate the good from the bad, so everyone must bear the consequences.


Why would I bypass someone who opposes aggression, killing innocent civilians, destroying towns and villages, mass graves? On the contrary, I will avoid those who have turned their heads the other way and pretend that nothing is happening, all for profit.

The article looks like it was written by elementary school kids - just another free promotion for some insignificant character who claims he was right (and we know he wasn't) and just another in a series obsessed with $100 000. If that happens in late 2023 or 2024, he will say again that he was right - but even a broken watch is accurate twice a day.

Well, he is not talking nonsense because he is bored in life, but to attract some new investors who will believe that through his platform it is possible to earn up to 17% interest on your savings. All this of course with company tokens, and lots of nice promises.

I also receive such emails on a daily basis, and I am pretty sure they come from a legitimate domain given their content. The reason why you do not receive them may be because you did not check this option in the blockchain account settings, or at some point, you unsubscribe from such e-mails.

I was never in the belief that cryptocurrencies were anonymous, and I’m surprised people are still thinking in that direction. Anonymity and privacy are not something that can be achieved nowadays without much effort and hassle, and if you want to hide from some powerful people because you did something bad, then the only way is to completely disappear from the grid.

Big Brother has bigger eyes than he had before, computers, smartphones, and TVs are constantly spying on us, and surveillance cameras and hundreds of satellites and drones overhead record our every move. It may just seem that way to me, but KYC on some crypto exchanges could be our least concern in the time to come.

It is true that the forum is called bitcointalk, but not everyone came to this forum to learn something, whether it is about Bitcoin or altcoins. The vast majority are here just for bounty campaigns, and they are not interested in anything else - and only here and there some of these lost souls come to their senses and wonder how to earn merits.


I don't think this is some kind of official online school for Bitcoin, but a forum for discussing various topics with an emphasis on Bitcoin. A person who is interested in Bitcoin can easily find out everything important on hundreds of online sites, and if he wants something more, he can join the discussion on this or some other forum. Emphasizing merits in the whole thing is actually unnecessary, because that measure serves something completely different from learning and educating others.

You are not the only one who thinks so, because it is completely incomprehensible to me that companies that produce devices that should store extremely sensitive information behave in this way. We can say that Ledger was negligent and that someone played them as a group of amateurs, but the question arises why the Trezor did not make sure that this did not happen to them?

Not only has a similar (or the same thing) happened to them, but like Ledger, they can't say exactly what the hacked data is - and I'm sure they'll try to downplay the whole scandal the same way Ledger tried. If someone is identified as a customer of hardware wallets, with their full name, address, phone number and email address then it is a serious threat to someone's security.

How many people know the difference between a $15 000 watch and a $150 watch, or a $7500 suit and a $750 suit?  I wouldn’t compare it to someone drawing attention to themselves using clothes/shoes to promote Bitcoin. But as I commented before in another thread, some people may be able to afford to wear such things given their location or the fact that they are surrounded by bodyguards - yet most should not draw attention to themselves in this way.

I would never rely on remembering a seed in terms of some extra protection, because as most people know, the human brain is not very suitable for storing such sensitive information. In the event of an accident or illness, our brain or memory can be damaged, which unfortunately can happen to anyone at any time. In addition, Electrum gives us 12 words, not 24.


There is no answer that would offer an ideal solution, every way of saving backups that are publicly discussed has its shortcomings that you yourself have detected. I would therefore recommend that you include imagination and be as creative as possible in the process, which means that each new day can bring some new ideas. If you want to save your backup in different locations, and you do not trust the people who live in these locations, protect your backup with a passphrase (extra word - password) as an addition to the existing seed - and let this passphrase be an additional safeguard. Without it the seed will generate a brand new wallet with new addresses.

I think you are overemphasizing the possible problems that could arise for the government from such a law, especially if we take into account that this is a country that has quite strict laws that have in some way made society obedient. Of course, there are always those who do something illegal, but they are a minority that the police and the judiciary are focusing on. Such a law has been in place in Turkey for more than a year, and I have not read anywhere that it has created any problems for their government.

You underestimate people and their ability to forget very easily, which means that they can be very easily manipulated from a political perspective. Often people have no choice to choose someone better and fairer, because the alternative is sometimes a much worse choice. Democracy is just a nicely packaged fabrication for naive people who think they are deciding something - and with a few exceptions, everything else is a big lie.

I would say that you don't take into account the period we are in, so even though it's not a classic crypto winter like 2018, after all the excitement at the end of 2020 and during 2021, things had to slow down a bit. And if you take into account everything that @adaseb mentioned, then you should understand that at this moment it is not realistic to expect the price to be where you want it to be.

I understand that there are a lot of small investors asking themselves similar questions that most likely stem from the fact that you invested during the bull run expecting a profit of $100 000 which did not happen. This is nothing but a timing problem combined with FOMO that aimed too high and now results in a dose of impatience and disappointment. I don't see any big changes in the short term, and whether we will have to wait for the new big bull run until the next halving is a million-dollar question

The real question is what is a profitable investment for you when it comes to Bitcoin? If you would be happy to at least double or maybe triple your investment in the next few years then I would try Bitcoin without too much hesitation. But if you are looking for a profit of x50 or x100, then it is unrealistic to expect that you can achieve this with Bitcoin in the near future.

If you want to gamble with altocins then be prepared that you can get rich (small chances), and that you can lose everything you invest (big chances). After all, don’t expect to get a lot of advice to invest in something other than Bitcoin, yet this is a bitcointalk forum

Like most members who have expressed their opinion, I also think that fingerprinting as a backup is a bad idea because it can be misused in many ways. When I bought my first smartphone that had the option to lock/unlock with a fingerprint, then one of the warnings of the manufacturers was to turn off this method while we sleep or when we expect to be able to go into any unconscious state. So I think it’s a very bad security method, although it’s definitely quick compared to entering a PIN or scanning a face when it comes to smartphones.

You can't look at Bitcoin from the perspective of banks and all the insurance that such institutions have because you have a completely wrong picture of what Bitcoin really is. Accepting the responsibility of being your own bank is not easy, and it is even worse to reduce the security of your bank in a way that you want your fingerprint to be a key factor in that security.

You did not understand the essence, Trust wallet does not require any verification or registration when creating a wallet. Consequently, it is impossible that such an e-mail can be authentic, and as far as I could see, Trust wallet support does not have e-mail as an option at all. This is a phishing email that tries to convince users to share their seed, or serves to collect personal information and spread malware.
