The plans must also be agreed on by both the parliament and national ministers, who meet as the EU Council, in order to pass into law. From the link posted by @Beparanf. Now the only question is how quickly things will develop, and how the member states will react to this proposal. It should be noted that although the EU Parliament votes on something, it is a long way to the current implementation in a member state - and in the end, some member states do not have to accept it. Sanctions against Russia are currently in their favor and now they have a good excuse for such a law, of course with the classic nonsense about how to protect the environment, prevent the financing of terrorism and money laundering, illegal migration and everything else they can think of and blame Bitcoin. |

Duplicate report. Your initial report on the thread is still unhandled. Whether it's ad spam / low value, I'm not sure, since I don't handle a lot of these types of reports. You're going to have to wait until someone who usually handles them gets to it.
You're right, I reported that thread twice, my mistake. I don't know who solved it before, but it seems that now he is no longer active or has changed the criteria, I see no reason why the rest of you would not handle such reports if there is a rule that gives you the right to delete such thread/post. 24. Advertisements (including signatures within the post area) in posts aren't allowed unless the post is in a thread you started and is really substantial and useful
I didn't handle it but it says FUENTE at the bottom with the source link so if you reported that one for just plagiarism that's probably why.
This whole thread has nothing to do with plagiarism but with pay shills who spam with links. Bad report is for a reason already stated by @mprep.
Another member using the same strategy was added to the OP. |

As long as there's actual news with meaningful content and discussion goes on based on that, it can be debatable if it's shilling or just the source based on somebody's preference.
Obviously you haven't looked at the post history of Wimex, that member is more than obviously a paid shill who works for a certain site, and those who are familiar with what happened in the Press Board in the past know what it looks like. On the other hand, I've had not long ago a reported post where the mods took the expected action, but marked my report as bad  so you should not be too concerned on that. I'm not worried about the report being marked as bad, but whether we should report such things at all or listen to the advice of some prominent members of the forum who say it's a waste of time.
I might not like that but on the other hand he did receive 45+ merit in the last 120 days for such threads so... Yes, that's what I noticed also, it's weird that someone thinks such posts are worth merit, but it is a matter of personal judgment. For me, it's just copy/paste with 0% of the effort. |

Yes they don't miss any occasion to abuse each other.
Want to look smart? What occasions are you talking about? This is the first time I've ever seen this little stinker on the forum, and if you're intelligent enough to look back a few pages, it's more than obvious that I didn't start first. |

The fact is that if the regulation is approved, it will be a blow to people living in the EU. Although those who want privacy will be able to bypass these restrictions, it will be a blow to the market in the EU. Companies that accept Bitcoin payments will have to identify the buyer even for a payment of 10 euros.
When I see what kind of freaks there are in the EU Parliament and all other institutions, no decision can surprise me, especially if we take into account that bureaucrats make decisions about something they don't really understand. The lobby, which wants to make Bitcoin as unattractive as possible, is doing its job well, but this is not surprising if we know that they are financed by the most powerful EU banks. I say this because it doesn't seem to have garnered much interest but if the bill is passed as is, then we won't be surprised if the price goes down. And the bad thing is that if this legislation is passed, other countries may look at it and think of passing similar legislation.
The thing is, people rarely use Bitcoin to pay for goods and services, so they don’t react to things like this. While this is not something that can have a positive effect on the greater adaptation of Bitcoin, it is to be hoped that the EU will not follow the example of Turkey or Thailand banning cryptocurrencies as a means of payment. I have claimed before that the authorities have very good tools to limit Bitcoin, only they (most) have not used them so far. |

My point is that there's still plenty of room for an actual crypto winter to come, although I do hope it won't come this time.
As time goes on, such a scenario seems less and less possible - but only if we compare the beginning of 2018 with 2022. Then the situation was somewhat similar to today (BTC drop by about 50%), but in 2018 it continued to drop, while now we have a slightly different situation. Of course, the circumstances are completely different, because 4 years ago we did not have this kind of interest in investing in Bitcoin. The bet is great for advertising that coin (or whatever it is) and... it cannot be bad for Bitcoin either  Let them come, let them use Bitcoin as reserve currency. The supply is limited! I may be wrong, but I think they use Bitcoin mostly to promote what they want to sell, and if (when) it all goes downhill it is possible that it will negatively affect Bitcoin. Luckily for them, there is enough BTC on the market to spend all $10 billion, and in the meantime have fun with these small bets of $10 million, which is nothing but the usual boasting of spoiled rich people.
does this means Bitcoin will continue increasing till that 10 billion dollars be installed inside bitcoin ?
if this will happen then we should be holding the coins longer ?
And when this happen surely bitcoin will finally hit 50k once more .
Who knows, it is possible that the price will rise, but it is possible that this news has already had its effect. I really can't estimate in which direction the price will move, but I find it positive that there has been no drop after the pump, which would mean that most think it's not time to sell. |

Refusal of foreign exchange earnings will drive Russia into the Stone Age very quickly, because. they do not have their own production or technologies, and there are no other options to get them except by buying from the West.
I am not aware of how dependent Russia is on Western technology, but even if the West lowers the Iron Curtain and no longer trades with Russia, will they not try to circumvent those sanctions through China and India? And these two countries are certainly to some extent dependent on the West, and somehow I do not believe that the same West can afford to impose sanctions on them. According to media reports, Lavrov went on visits to China and India, where talks are not about time and football, but about how to resist Western pressures and continue doing business as before. Therefore, it seems to me that Russia will find a way to get what it needs, in one way or another. |

I wouldn't say they are all like this. A lot of them believe in what they are told by the censored media simply because nobody has ever told them otherwise! For example they believe the "bitcoin PoW bad" FUD simply because nobody explained to them why it is FUD. Although I agree that there are some people who are too brainwashed to be saved  There are definitely too many of them, and I can only say I'm sorry I spent too much time trying to explain some things to them - and in the end I turned out to be some kind of criminal just trying to trick people and launder money through Bitcoin. While I wouldn’t agree that it’s just brainwashing, some people are just less intelligent (not to say stupid) to figure out some things. It is pretty hard to go against the massive propaganda machine with infinite funding that has been brainwashing people for decades but I have found out that it depends on how things are explained. A well versed person simplifying things based on their audience and talking with facts is very useful in countering propaganda.
For instance a lot of people believed Faketoshi but when explanations came out by experts, many of them were convinced he is a scammer.
Some realized after a long time, but the problem is that they believed in something at all that did not have any solid facts, and it was based on the words of a person who simply said "I am Satoshi". If someone who was one of Satoshi's closest associates can be convinced of such lies, then what to expect from the average person who watches it all from a great distance. Gavin Andresen was the lead Bitcoin developer and maintainer in the early Bitcoin years and was picked by Satoshi himself to take charge of the Bitcoin project when he chose to “disappear.” In 2016, Gavin was attacked almost unanimously by the BTC world immediately after he publicly testified that Craig Wright was Satoshi. His commit access to Bitcoin Core on GitHub was revoked and other Bitcoin management accounts locked by other Core developers under the pretense that Gavin must have been hacked (of course he was not, and it became clear he was not when he spoke again, but he was permanently exiled because he was considered “dangerous” to the BTC world). |

You’re such a rotten lying bastard, that I cannot even get my head round it.
How dare you insinuate that Satoshi got the 21 thing from … blackjack. An extraordinary brilliant mind, that freed the world from its monetary slavery, was a gambler? Go fuck yourself.
And whilst you’re at it, take that circle jerk merit club bitch with you.
Glory to the heroes … he wrote, like, for real? So pathetic I can vomit.
Are you nervous that you didn't get your pocket money from mommy this week or you gambled away everything you got last week? When you vomit, be careful not to suffocate in your own vomit - you have the same value as what I rinse in the toilet bowl when I flush. |

More bitcoin investments are on the line with these stable coins increasing their btc reserves :  Someone publicly says that they will buy BTC worth $10 billion, and the price of BTC increase by only a few% - it seems that there are millions of BTC on the market waiting to be sold - luckily for everyone Satoshi seemed to be a fan of the Blackjack considering it was all based on number 21 |

In my opinion, to fight this type of FUD we need to clarify this distinction for newcomers.
To them and at least 80% of those who think they know something about what Bitcoin is and how it actually works. Because the average person still trusts the mainstream media, and we all know that these media are under the direct control of the world's greatest powerful people who form a public opinion through them. Even if you know something, at some point you may wonder if you were wrong all the time after they started bombarding you every day with the news that Bitcoin mining is the killer of planet Earth, that it is used only by criminals and terrorists and those who want to escape paying taxes. I have had the opportunity to meet all of them in real life, and these people do not deviate from their position no matter what someone tells them. If the guy who's going to fund this campaign believes in what he's been advocating for 10 years, then there's nothing we can do about it. Some will say that it should be ignored as Faketoshi, others that it should be retaliated against with the same measure, but no matter how someone puts it, I am sure that all of them will sooner or later fall into the hole they are trying to dig for Bitcoin. |

I can only say that I received an e-mail a long time ago informing me that I cannot make deposits and trade without KYC, and that I have a withdraw limit of 0.05 BTC or something similar. After that, it does not occur to me to test whether these are the correct conditions, or whether there are still some holes in the system.
Given how their business has been in recent years, I am not surprised that they have failed to harmonize a level playing field for all users - or perhaps they are adjusting the terms in line with crypto regulations in some countries?
I just checked and I have the same withdrawal limit as @hosseinimr93.

Can you imagine what will happen with the price of Bitcoin, if Russia start to accept bitcoins as a currency to pay for their oil and gas?
You speculate that Russia would start exporting the same amount of oil and gas again, and that all buyers pay with Bitcoin - and this is as realistic as Bitcoin becomes a global currency accepted by more or less all relevant countries. The US has completely banned the import of Russian oil and gas, and the EU is turning to alternative solutions such as LNG terminals and alternative energy sources to make it less dependent on Russian energy. Politics is a dirty business, but I hope that in a year or two not everything will be forgotten and forgiven, although I have no doubt that the sanctions will be gradually lifted. |

50K is not really a big psychological level, I mean it surely is one, but not a "big" one.
This is not a crucial point, but in psychological terms, it means a lot to all those for whom it will be a sign that something serious is happening. From the perspective of a small investor who wants a quick profit, a headline in the media that looks something like this "Bitcoin again above $50 000, crypto winter is over", is also more than enough signal to buy Bitcoin again. Ordinary people are still driven by the herd mentality, and it is easy to steer them in any direction, all it needs is to create a strong enough incentive. The problem at the moment is inflation, which leaves little room for risky investments - the average Joe can no longer save almost anything from his salary. |

Well said. I believe most crypto investors are happy about this news because it will help the price of the market and also give Bitcoin more reputation but they never give it a thought if the decision will help common people living in the country and how true is the news because the current invasion that happened between the country in the subject make me know how fake news is shared from them and this make it hard for me to know what's really going on there.
In the short term, yes, but in the long term, things like this can only damage that reputation - because if Russia starts using Bitcoin (which I personally don't believe), it would be a reason for even stricter regulations and possible bans. At the moment, Russia has much bigger problems than dealing with such trivial things - it would be ideal for them to do something similar to China, so that we get rid of any doubts about what they think or want to do. |

Even if this is true, will it change anything for the better for the common man in that country, or will only those who are already rich benefit? In addition, let’s not forget that one should not believe most of the news from that country, because it is obvious that that country has become a factory of fake news when it comes to cryptocurrencies. If one thinks that crypto mining would bring some financial benefits to Russia, one should know that for such a large country it is actually dust - it's like when some thought the Chinese economy would collapse because they banned crypto mining - complete nonsense. Data for 2021 say that the total earnings of Bitcoin miners are something around $15 billion, and even if half of that becomes Russian profit, in the overall picture it is insignificant. The report finds that on a year-to-date basis, Bitcoin miners have generated a total of $15.3 billion in revenue, making 2021 a record year in terms of Bitcoin mining. This spike in Bitcoin mining also contributed to the skyrocketing price of Bitcoin in 2021. |

Now resized.
You didn't understand the suggestion - you should edit your post and reduce the images to an appropriate size. I personally use this code and just adjust width/height.  [img width=200 height=200]https://i.ibb.co/ykKM8N8/Screenshot-20220329-155118-Opera.jpg[/img] |

I can’t be surprised at all when it comes to Ledger, because that company proved its incompetence, and then it tried to relativize that whole mess by pretending it wasn’t some big deal. The fact that they continue to collect such sensitive data and share it with partners (or perhaps sell it) proves that nothing has changed in their business philosophy.
In one of the possible new database leaks, hackers may have your coin addresses with balances in addition to your personal data, so they know who the valuable targets are. An old saying goes "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me".

Now, the 1 billion question, why are altcoins rising too?
Just for the reason that Bitcoin is growing, that is the most logical explanation - the crypto market has finally woken up and entered the spring from winter, and it seems that the long-announced crypto winter did not last very long. The opportunity for quick profits opened up and a small FOMO was created, now it remains to be seen whether the price of BTC will break the psychological limit of $50k.
Apart from the news that Honduras and Malaysia will declare Bitcoin a legal tender, which turned out to be mere speculation, and the news that Russia could sell oil and gas for Bitcoin - it seems that all these billions had an effect on the market. For almost 3 months we had several attempts to break the resistance to $45k, and then it finally happened, coincidence or not? Some will say that coincidences do not exist, while others will say that money drives everything. |
