Am laughing so hard with tears in my eyes,  Grin

I think that's the only good thing that can come out of this kind of research (if we can call it that at all), and some would agree that it's a lot harder to make someone laugh than to do this kind of research Wink

Don't rule out all universities to produce nothing but rotten apples am sure there are many good apples among the rotten ones, it so happen that the rotten apples among the good ones came up with a nasty research to psychoanalyse crypto users, what a load of crap.
They are trying to tag bitcoin to human behaviour, more like when they see someone behaving in a particular way they will like ask 'is he a bitcoin user'  Cheesy. Impressive.

It may have seemed like I was generalizing about universities, but this is not the first research coming from so-called highly educated people who should contribute to society in a positive way, and they are among those who poison society with various nonsense like claiming the world will remain dark because Bitcoin will consume all its energy - because it is difficult for them to calculate that it consumes a total of 0.14% of the world's total electricity production.

In addition, from my own experience, I can say that I had very big problems when I explained Bitcoin to highly educated people, from those who have never been to university. Perhaps we can look for an explanation in the fact that some use this period of life mainly for some other things under the pretext that they are actually studying. Too much alcohol, drugs, and various other things sometimes really create rotten apples in the end.

Hey guys, I am interested in posting Bitcoin guides on how to manage wallets and other cool tips.

Before you start posting your guides, it would be a good idea to look for similar content on the forum and not cover topics that have already been covered. It's not that I'm discouraging you or telling you what to publish or not, but some things like "how to install Electrum" or "how to make a cold wallet" are already topics with countless open threads.

But, the question is, in which forum should I post them?

Anything related to wallets or is of a technical nature would belong in Development & Technical Discussion -> Wallet software, and some crypto wallet security tips also in the same boards or maybe in Beginners&Help. What you need to know is that the threads can be moved as needed, either by you as the one who opened them, or if the moderators think it is necessary.

Tip for longer stay on the forum -> plagiarism is punishable by a permanent ban, so all content that is not yours should have a source Wink
5123  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Now we know:we (BTC/etc guys) are Machiavellian psychopaths with an inflated ego on: April 13, 2022, 01:19:27 PM
I used to think that people at universities were doing some serious things, but I'm starting to believe that there are a lot of rotten apples in that system, and as a result, there are even more rotten apples coming out of the system in the form of so-called highly educated people. Given where the research comes from, I am not surprised by such an attitude and thinking towards anything that deviates from already well-established values and uniform attitudes in society. By that, I mean the incredible scenes of violence that came from Australia when they terrorized ordinary people walking in parks or when they didn’t have a mask in the open.

Furthermore, this kind of research is nothing more than a continuation of the agenda "Bitcoin is bad in every sense", from consuming too much electricity, polluting the environment, and being used only by criminals.

If some independent scientists did research on these researchers, it somehow seems to me that on many of them would find exactly the same characteristics that they labeled Bitcoin investors.
5124  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not trust this devil woman, she wants Bitcoin dead on: April 13, 2022, 11:04:02 AM
Maybe that's why she's fighting bitcoin so much. Still remembers being pranked by a bitcoiner.
They fired the poor guy as far as I remember.

I don't believe that she is such an evil and grumpy old granny who would take revenge on a personal level because of such things - because she is in the service of politics, and she only says what is the official position of the same politics. I'm not aware of what happened to that guy, although I was convinced that two people were responsible for that incident. Either way, dismissal is the least evil that could have happened to them given everything that is happening in that country.



She does! Let's consider her an ambassador for Bitcoin 😉

Any type of publicity ultimately helps bitcoin to spread out no matter it's good or bad publicity. Wise people hear about it and then they do their own due diligence. And when you spend time on bitcoin then you realize you were in dark before. They wanted to keep you in dark to pocket their benefit. The rest is done automatically. This become just a matter of time to get involve with bitcoin.

Why not, every opportunity should be taken, and when that evil woman realizes what Bitcoin really is, the force would become stronger in her and she would come out of the darkness Smiley

He is the one behind polo7 and spy100, of course, there is no evidence about it as you don't have any wallets to link but the style is clearly the same with the same lack of any knowledge about the things he talks about, including mistaking one country for another.
He did link to his own topics when at the beginning praising himself but that's all

You have a good memory, so even though it may not be the same person - there is no doubt that it is someone who is on the same mental level. What may be a little different for this user (if I'm not mistaken) is the posting on various boards, so it's hard to avoid him unless someone puts him on ignore.

As far as I can remember, I only recently posted in one of his threads, but only because he announced that he was leaving for a while - and that post reminded me of some others who were in the style of "Bitcoin is boring", which reminded me of another possible alt he used before.

Regardless of freedom of expression, I think Newbie and Jr.Members should be limited to 1 thread per day, although that might not be enough to stop someone from making 10 profiles and spamming again.
5126  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Have you ever tried to live only on Bitcoin? on: April 12, 2022, 02:08:52 PM
Not the only option; you can move to Salvador and freely spend your bitcoin there Cheesy. Joke aside I agree, still a long road ahead for bitcoin to reach the point where we can spend it directly on majority of places and some compromises will have to be made.

I think some things about that story don't seem very ideal anymore, especially in light of recent events when President Bukele canceled his visit to a conference in Miami due to an allegedly fierce showdown between local gangs, where 9000 people have already been arrested link. This country is far from the security standards we are used to, at least as far as the EU is concerned.



I think that it is not impossible to live fully paying for goods and services with crypto (of course through payment processors), in countries where such conditions exist, and you are well aware of everything that exists in this regard in our country. In some parts of the country, even utilities can be paid for with Bitcoin, not to mention platforms like Bazzar where you can literally buy everything from needles to planes and pay in Bitcoin. I haven’t tried anything like that, but I think it would be feasible if someone made an effort.

Oh now let's use bitcoin price to get more followers and make it a giveaway. Sick

https://twitter.com/MartiniGuyYT/status/1513586457025425423

He probably calculated that he would get a very nice number of new followers and that it was worth $2500 - and it could be a win-win situation if the price hit $50k in a week. The only bad thing is that crypto scammers have already started the action with the fake Musk giveaways...

5128  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help a newbie; why is hashing not done once but twice during Bitcoin transaction on: April 12, 2022, 01:26:22 PM
Very interesting topic, so even though I'm not technically savvy to discuss at this level, how much have I realized what happened in the past shouldn't happen anymore? What interests me is whether it is theoretically possible for such events to happen again, because if I understood correctly these two coinbase transactions with identical IDs actually annulled each other and we have 100 BTC less.

If it were possible to reproduce something similar, perhaps it might occur to someone to reduce the max supply a little more - or is it technically impossible to do so after a fix?

The event will run from April 6-9 2022 in Miami and it is likely that only those with an interest will attend and take part.
The event will take place with dignitaries such as Adam Back, Michael Saylor, Nayib Bukele, Matt Odell, NVK, Jeff Booth, Saifedean Ammous, Alyse Killeen, Elizabeth Stark, Andrew Yang, Dr. the.

Miami is attracting more and more crypto projects, with Mayor Francis Suarez openly accepting cryptocurrencies and striving for cryptocurrency-friendly regulation.
Miami and Florida are business-friendly places and have remained open during the pandemic, making them even more attractive as locations where people can work remotely.

whether the impact of the meeting so far has not been seen at all, hopefully more things like this will bring crypto to be known.

Miami has attracted an increasing number of crypto projects, with mayor Francis Suarez openly supporting cryptocurrencies and advocating for crypto-friendly regulations. Mayor Suarez declared in December 2021 that he would accept 100 percent of his salary in cryptocurrency, and he asked other city officials to sign a crypto agreement in January to assist stimulate innovation in the United States.

In general, the analysts regarding bitcoin are indeed pointing to an improvement from the current price, but they feel that this year is not creating ATH and will only approach the last ATH. will there be more movement? all can only estimate and part of the analysis is summarized ;

- Bitcoin price movements until today in Q1 2022 still tend to be sideways. BTC coin price prediction will be in the lowest price range (support) around $30,000 and resistance at $69,000 which is also an all time high (ATH) level.

- Bitcoin price will move in the range of US$40,000 – US$60,000. He explained, Bitcoin price will perform well during periods of economic growth and inflation. This sentiment often coincides with higher long-term interest rates.

- the price of bitcoin continues to decline to a level of around 43,000 US dollars, even though last November it had touched its highest level, which was close to 69,000 US dollars per chip. Nevertheless, Goldman Sachs through its report stated, the price of bitcoin was able to grow rapidly, even reaching the range of 100,000 US dollars per chip, within the next 5 years.

- Bitcoin will take less than a month in 2021 to break its 2020 price record.
On November 7, 2021, Bitcoin again hit an all-time high at $67,549. This price is considered the highest Bitcoin price in 2021.
Then in early December 2021, Bitcoin dropped to 49,243 US dollars. Until now, the correction continues and the possibility to move up is still difficult to predict.


On November 7, 2021, Bitcoin again hit an all-time high at $67,549. This price is considered the highest Bitcoin price in 2021.

Then in early December 2021, Bitcoin dropped to 49,243 US dollars. As of this writing, the current price of BTC to IDR has reached IDR 665 million or the equivalent of 46,545 US dollars (assuming an exchange rate of IDR 14,306).

I have been noticing 325btc posting loads of topics daily. I do not know what he is trying to achieve, probably user with the highest number of topics.

The style of writing and the topics of this user uses reminds me of some other thread spammers, it is possible that it is an alt account - but this is difficult to prove without some concrete evidence. What’s behind the whole case is hard to say, a person who’s really bored in life, or someone just creating new space for their signature spam. I think that at least those members who understand what this is about could refrain from posting is his threads, and use the report button a little more instead.
5131  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for April on: April 12, 2022, 10:49:16 AM
This decline does not surprise me at all, because if we look at the chart from the beginning of this year, we can clearly see that the same thing has happened several times. There’s no reason the same shouldn’t happen this time too, and then let’s be positive and say that the next pump will manage to break the $50 000 mark.

It seems to me that whales are manipulating us to the extreme because they take advantage of the fact that retail investors are less and less inclined to invest in Bitcoin due to inflation and war. What is a problem for some is more than a good opportunity for others.
5132  Economy / Economics / Re: How to end dependence on russian gas? Heat pumps, electric heaters, alt fuels? on: April 12, 2022, 10:29:22 AM
1. Total control of European politicians regarding ties (of course financial) with the Kremlin gang. You can talk a lot about bias and "phobias", the fact remains - it was bribery and influence on the tops of European governments that allowed Gazprom to monopolize its position in the EU and then set conditions and engage in fuel terrorism. Like it or not, gas and oil are used by Russia as a "legal" means of terror and pressure

This is unfortunately true, because if the EU really wanted to become independent of gas and oil from Russia, then it could start working on it after the first invasion of Crimea and eastern Ukraine, and the fact is that they did nothing. Now, these same politicians are sending minimal quantities of weapons to Ukraine, imposing mostly innocuous sanctions, and at the same time, since the beginning of the war, they have paid Russia as much as EUR 18 billion just for gas.

Therefore, we can conclude that EU politicians (most) are just ordinary hypocrites who do not care who they do business with, it is important that they pay a lower price, which means that more money remains in their pockets.
5133  Economy / Economics / Re: Is crypto the final stage in the evolution of money? on: April 12, 2022, 10:13:09 AM
You know what is so interesting about evolution? There is endless possibilities and it never stops. Human never stop learning and testing new things. This learning process continues because problem in human life keep appearing. There is a saying that " necessity is the mother of all invention". May be one day crypto will also lose its necessity and something else will took it place.

I have a similar opinion, people will never accept that it is impossible to do something better than what currently exists, not only when it comes to finances, but in any other segment of our daily lives. This eternal competition actually contributes to the development of society (although not always for the better), and if it were not so we would still be living in a world without the advanced technology that surrounds us today.

How long cryptocurrencies will last and whether at some point a new innovator will come up with a revolutionary idea we can only guess. I believe this will inevitably happen, maybe 50, maybe 100 years from today - and what is happening today will be the subject of historians' study - much like today's historians are studying history.
5134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not trust this devil woman, she wants Bitcoin dead on: April 11, 2022, 02:29:59 PM
Janet Yellen does not like bitcoin and the cryptospace, we certainly know this already.

It may not be that she has something against Bitcoin, but she simply doesn't understand it or understands it very well, but official policy in the US has always defended the national currency at all costs - why would Janet be different from everyone else?

I speculate that there might be a magic trick in the end where something like every American user in the cryptospace cannot sell their coins for fiat might occur hehehe.

This is nothing new that has not been discussed countless times, and in fact it is very easy to do if the law banning all crypto exchanges in the US is passed, there is no more legal crypto trading. It's not that it will just happen, but as one of the measures that politics has up its sleeve, it should always be taken into account that they can decide on that move.

I generally don't trust politicians, especially those who are known for dirty games, so I'm not too worried about what this woman thinks. Besides, didn't she do a good promotion of Bitcoin when that banner appeared behind her back?  Cool

Guys, any suggestions for short-term investment?

Is that something that gains in value at 500% overnight or can this short-term period be a month or a little more? If you want such quick earnings, I suggest you throw yourself into altcoins hunting, some have successful pumps and over 600% in 24 hours.

By the way, what you advertise in your profile is not good enough for you?

5136  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Madeira and Prospera "adopting bitcoin" on: April 11, 2022, 10:53:03 AM
Maderia and prospera fall under outermost regions of European community.

Madeira is indeed part of the EU (Portugal), but Prospera is located in Central America on the island of Roatán off the coast of Honduras. The difference is not only in the geographical position, but also in the fact that Madeira is an island, and Prospera only one town on the island.

These regions are embracing bitcoin to stimulate their own economy, by offering a crypto friendly place to highly skilled crypto experts. This will lead to immigration of highly skilled and high earning techies to maderia, this will help to increase GDP, diversify work opportunities and developments in these regions.

Maybe that’s really their goal, but this isn’t the first time some islands or small countries have tried to create a crypto paradise, let’s just remember Malta or Gibraltar and their attempts. Their problem, as well as the problem of the island of Madeira, is that they are too small to make some major changes that would attract people to move in and start a business. In addition, the EU has a not very friendly attitude towards cryptocurrencies, as they have been showing lately.

Can anyone recommend me a safe place to store my bitcoins?

I found something perfect for you, but only if you have no problem handing over your BTC to someone else for safekeeping. I am more for the "my keys, my coins" approach, which is the only correct way - if a nuclear war breaks out, it doesn’t matter where the BTCs are, in the underground bunker, or in the hardware wallet.

Does that mean I need to hard reset the hardware wallet before I surrender the Ledger to them? Or they will just send a new unit without them receiving the faulty product?

Of course, the only correct way is to reset the device to factory defaults in case you send it for repair. I found the case I mentioned in the previous post, and the user had a broken device replaced with a new one even before he sent the old one to Ledger. Still keep in mind that it was in 2019, but I still think it's worth trying to get a replacement rather than changing the screen - try to report a problem with pictures or even video, you have nothing to lose but some time.

When it comes to the desktop multi-currency wallets, most users opt for Coinomi or Exodus, so I would recommend you to try both and see which one suits your needs better. What many will cite as the downside of these wallets is that they are not open source, but considering that they are free wallets, this is a risk you have to accept.

If you want a higher level of security, you need a hardware wallet - Trezor supports what you need and it is open source.

I want to buy few bitcoins totally anonymously. Just for experiment Smiley

If you would use crypto ATM you have to keep in mind that this is usually the most expensive way to buy Bitcoin, as the fees are mostly 5%, but often more than twice as high. Also, not all crypto ATMs are anonymous, some only require a mobile phone number, while others require scanning a document or even video verification.

I will search for another way...

You can try to find an honest trader in the Currency exchange board, although I suspect that there is someone who would be willing to sell you a few BTC. For such an amount, I would be extremely careful, because it is quite a lot of money.
