So what are you really telling? Are they going to become as big as btt? They may get bigger as btt gets bigger but will they become bigger than btt just because they have the mixer campaigns?


Well man, I've repeated it throughout the thread but I'll repeat it one more time: that if new restrictions on signature campaigns were to be introduced, what has happened now is a warning of what could happen: that traffic would go elsewhere. It's something that has been talked about many times on Meta, there's even a current thread on the subject, but this is the first time we've seen a restriction and its consequences.

I see some other user said it is easier to rank up there, if that’s the case, it is a good opportunity to make some extra income for those who have the extra time and dedication to raise an acc there.

I guess everyone has a different condition which makes them see this differently. For a person like me who has limited free time, it doesn’t make any sense to raise an acc there especially when that forum’s future is uncertain.

For somebody who doesn’t have a full time job, it is a nobrainer decision. Go and milk that forum.

I agree.

Bitcointalk Global Rank: #39,778 Worldwide
Altcoinstalks Global Rank: #540,599 Worldwide

This quote tells everything you need to know about that forum. They won’t last.

Another blind member who sees still photos instead of processes. In October 2017, which is when ATT was created, that difference sure was a lot worse. And you could have said that with much more reason. 7 years later it's still alive and kicking. As well as having a bunch of quality posters teleported from Bitcointalk there.
523  Other / Meta / Re: The effect the mixer ban has had on the forum. on: January 23, 2024, 06:36:15 PM

I've seen that you have already been teleported. The only thing I would advise you to do is to try to get a customized deal, as hugeblack said.

You can get a special deal at $2.5 per post, so the best payment in ALTT is the same as the worst payment for an SR account in BTT.

And as you said, you can combine the two forums. With how much you write you can do a good job in both.

Good luck with it.
524  Economy / Speculation / Re: Next Bitcoin Move - Price Prediction on: January 23, 2024, 04:07:44 PM
You don't get to choose it. You just get played and the game goes by the rules of the biggest whales with a plan. They literally bought their Bits at $16-$18k when everyone waited for that $10k.
Now when everyone was waiting for that $50k spot, they started dumping near that price. Some people are still losing money by trying to catch the falling knife.

That's what I said about what happened to the price after the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETFs in the USA, that some big whales must have been happy fleecing a lot of little fish. I prefer to invest for the long term but in any case if you plan to make short trades, better to do the opposite of everyone else; when the price goes so low that it looks like it will go to 0, you'd better buy, and when it is rising non-stop, beating ATH after ATH and there are predictions of how fast it will reach $1M, you'd better sell.
525  Economy / Economics / Re: The 150 year old maths and logic theory on the best period to make money: on: January 23, 2024, 03:42:46 PM
This is S&P 500 index chart, looking at this chart, the picture that posted by @OP is mostly incorrect.

In the end it happens like with charts that try to predict the price of Bitcoin going forward, they have a certain logic, a certain regularity, but if you look at the fine print they don't work. To think that macroeconomics, which is quite probabilistic and volatile, is going to be determined by a simple arithmetic progression is quite naive. And even more naive is to think that it has been right in the past without doing simple checks like this one.
526  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any good explanation to this dip on: January 23, 2024, 03:33:51 PM
An easy and good explanation is "Buy the rumor, sell the news".]

Yes, I also said the same thing in another thread about it. I wouldn't have had the price go down like it has so far after the ETFs were approved but then thinking about it later it has to have been a case of these for sure. A lot of minnows sure bought after hearing about it from the news and are now panic selling.
527  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin completely erase the Traditional Banking System? on: January 23, 2024, 03:23:10 PM
I'm sorry to say that I think you're asking the wrong question. The relevant one today is whether the banking system, especially central banks and public authorities, are going to be able to get their hands on Bitcoin. Not to wipe it out but to control it with ever stricter regulations involving KYC and transaction censorship.
528  Economy / Lending / Re: [Question] would returning 50% of the collateral be fair in case of a default? on: January 22, 2024, 04:10:09 PM
I want to send the person who took the loan following reply, but i'm looking for some ethical input: is my offer fair or am i being overly harsh?

Sorry to put it this way, but this is just another of the many examples I see on the forum where I see little testosterone. I guess it goes with the world in general, where testosterone levels decline over time.

It's clear to me, he defaulted on a loan, and you kept the collateral. Now you can do whatever you want, like ignore him if you want.

I guess you red tagged him, is that right?
529  Economy / Economics / Re: China’s Debt-to-GDP Ratio Rises a Record of 286.1% on: January 22, 2024, 04:03:16 PM
I saw this thread yesterday and, again, it seems that this section gives more play to doom and gloom news, especially if it is about USA and EU. I had to rescue the thread from almost the second page.

Now, one can start to understand why China is scared of a property crash,  the real estate constitutes 30% of China's GDP, if that would take a 20% hit it would balloon the debt to 305-310% to gdp bankrupting local governments, and this is the reason why prices are fixed in China, see my other topic about how they try deal with that:
China real estate crisis: Buy a house and get a gold bar!

When the 2008 crisis broke out, which started in the real estate sector, although it affected the rest of the sectors, China was not greatly affected, as it continued to grow at close to double-digit rates during those years. They have not yet seen a crisis in the sector and it will come sooner or later. In the UK and Spain it was very noticeable. First the real estate sector collapses and then the rest of the sectors are affected. Let's see how this one goes.
530  Economy / Economics / Re: Price Regulatory Mechanisms: The Solution to the Economic Hardship in Countries on: January 22, 2024, 03:54:16 PM
What a load of bullshit, and the bad thing is that it's not crazy what the OP is saying, it's just commonly held beliefs. OP, read what happened with the Edict of Diocletian, which people throughout history have tended to forget and repeat.

In another way, governments should be the producers of some of these products , the distributor and retailer of these products in order to drag down the monopoly of the private hands.

Pure and hard Communism, that is, the political theory that the more it fails and the more millions of deaths it produces, the more popular it becomes. Leaving the means of production in state hands and taking them away from private initiative has had the same result, identical, in all the countries where it has been carried out: extreme poverty, famines, exodus, political-psychopathic repression and millions of dead.
531  Economy / Services / Re: [CFNP] WasabiWallet.io Signature Campaign | Up to $120/W on: January 22, 2024, 03:36:41 PM
I didn't say he doesn't work at Wasabi. I said that he is not a developer.

By the way, I will soon create a new discussion thread and change the link.

Good. I also think he's been temp banned or something. He logs in but doesn't post.
532  Economy / Services / Re: [CFNP] WasabiWallet.io Signature Campaign | Up to $120/W on: January 22, 2024, 03:32:29 PM
Kruw is not employed by Wasabi and there is no evidence they have ever used any of his code in any of their releases. Kruw is literally a nobody. He is trying to make himself relevant by posting about something that struck a chord with him (Wasabi) but he is a nobody and there is no connection between Kruw and Wasabi no matter how much he would like there to be.

I am still wearing that signature because of what you, icopress and WhyFhy said. But if he is a nobody that is not connected to Wasabi (apart from being a mere volunteer occasionally), how would you explain this?

I just hope no one is such a moron as to even for a moment cross their mind to buy anything that sells the OP. After selling a system to get rich betting against casinos, he now sells a course to make you immortal. You have to be a fool. Not an elixir or a treatment, a course.
534  Economy / Services / Re: I do have winning casino crypto formula with 200% profit per month,any interest? on: January 22, 2024, 03:00:59 PM
Don't make a fool of yourself anymore, LosingSorrow.

At the moment you have already taken two red tags and if you keep insisting we will have to create a newbie warning flag so that the most naive people do not fall into your trap. We are clear at first sight, we have seen it a thousand times, offers of these systems that if they are so good you wonder why the OP, in this case you, is not on his way to the Bahamas in his yacht and is wasting his time in the forum trying to find dupes for his offer.
535  Economy / Reputation / Re: Farewell on: January 20, 2024, 02:52:40 PM
After seeing what has happened here, I have just communicated to the manager icopress that I will not continue in the Wasabi campaign because it goes against my moral principles. I will simply wait until the end of the week tomorrow and I will remove my signature.

I am not going to hold anything against those who will remain in the campaign or those who still have dealings with him but I simply can't continue.
536  Economy / Economics / Re: A person that is against the creation of CBDC. on: January 20, 2024, 05:39:57 AM
Anyway, Trump's words could be taken with a grain of salt.

I think the same, since you can be saying that now, and then come to power, contradict yourself and launch the CBDC, as happens with certain promises of politicians.

In any case, and without liking the character too much, I prefer one who says at least a priori that he is not going to launch CBDCs than another who is already working on implementing them. I don't remember any renowned politician in Europe having such a clear message against them, and I would like to see one.
537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Satoshi Nakamoto remove the 21 million BTC limit? on: January 20, 2024, 05:31:30 AM
Satoshi Nakamoto can not and we can not.

JP Morgan CEO, Jamie must do his research and learn about basics. His statement like this means he did not do any research and did not find any basic about Bitcoin.

Dimon has a way of making a fool of himself, it's normal for him to go wandering around with the things he says about Bitcoin if he doesn't know the basics. You don't have to have great technical knowledge to know that and that the only way there would be to do it is to make a fork to which the majority of the community would change, as adaseb says. I didn't pay much attention to what he says already, but after seeing this, less so.
538  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Tougher EU Money Laundering Rules Target Crypto on: January 20, 2024, 05:21:23 AM
Well, one more step in the EU Big Brother. In a way it is to be expected. Besides the rules not only target crypto but cash transactions, which is not surprising either:

Quote
Firms under the scope of the new rules will have to identify and verify people who carry out occasional transactions in cash between 3,000 and 10,000 euros.

And I believe that they have not imposed lower limits on this because Germany, which is the country that has the greatest weight in economic matters, is a country where a lot of cash is still used.

So they will create new institutions that could intervene whenever a suspicious transaction has been made, but the response from the country where it takes place is slow, they could forcibly take over the checking process. How could they monitor the transactions though? Do EU countries share transaction data in real time? Or anytime a transaction worth more than 1k Euro is being made, every member will get notified?

It is not clear to me but public administrations are not usually characterized by their speed. I suppose that if this is approved, at least at the beginning things will work in a slow way.
539  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin surpasses silver to become second largest ETF commodity in the US on: January 20, 2024, 05:14:04 AM
Well, but for Bitcoin to overtake the silver market globally (instead of just in the US), there is still some way to go.

https://companiesmarketcap.com/assets-by-market-cap/




Considering that the market cap will have to increase by more than 50% I believe that if things go as planned (similar to previous cycles) this could happen in about a year's time.

Bitcointalk isn't a company. It's not operated for the sake of turning a profit and doesn't require revenue to continue existing; at least not for decades, or maybe even longer.

Bitcointalk is not a company and a forum without traffic is not a forum, it is a relic or a ruin, like the Roman ruins that people visit, not a forum. If hypothetically tomorrow there will be no more traffic on the forum, it will surely continue to survive because it will not need money, but it will not be a forum, it will be a ruin.
