You might wanna read first post again, as OP didn't compare 2017 and 2020, he is trying to find some similarities between 2017 and 2021 which are more appropriate years to be compared.

It is true that this bull run is different from the previous one and growth looks healthier and more "organic", but there are some similarities between 2016 and 2020, years that should be compared. In both of those years bitcoin halvening happened, and approximately 6 months later bitcoin started pumping, followed by sharp correction. As you can see, once again we see bitcoin pumping, again approximately 6 months after halvening. Since all these things are playing out like in 2016, that makes people think that 2021 will mimic 2017 so you have all those 100k-300k predictions, but whether will history repeat itself we are yet to see.

What we know though is that future is bright and it's been easier than ever to be a hodler.

By the way, when you said that he took money from you against your will, how exactly he managed to do that? Did you two met in real life and he physically forced you to give him your money? Or he simply tricked you into sending him the money?

What I don't understand is why did you deal with that person at all, since you could see that all three of his accounts were tagged by @YOSHIE, explicitly saying that he is a scammer. I feel sorry that you got scammed but seriously, start checking trust feedback of the people you plan to deal with. Trust feedback is there for exactly that reason.

What you can do now is raise Flag Type 2 which is a bit more visible than negative feedback so it might save someone else from getting scammed.

I was a bit confused with that as well, at first I thought I had 6/22 but @icopress cleared that out via bitcointalk discord group (using this opportunity to invite other members to join us). So all good, we all had 20 questions.

I agree, t-shirt designs look great, but I am not sure I would be comfortable wearing it, considering the one I won . I have to ponder for a while before I make decision on the matter. Might be a nice souvenir though.

This bold part is the key. Just because Bitwings announced something on their telegram channel it doesn't mean that it is true. They have a long history of giving false promises and this is no different. If so many people got their Minephone where are YouTube videos of people using them? I am sure that such a revolutionary smartphone that can mine you 2 ETH per month ( at the moment worth approximately 1300 USD) would create huge hype and everyone would want it. But all I see on YouTube are videos from their  own channel, advertising Minephone.

Basic napkin math tells you that what Bitwings promises is simply not sustainable as they operate as cloud mining. Price  of the smartphone and 1000 MH/s contract for 3 years is 19 ETH (1200 USD for 17 ETH). So, in 6 months you would get your investment back and in the next 30 months you would get 60 ETH extra. You don't have to be a genius to see that this is a ponzi scheme, as only they offer you such profit.

App or no app, it doesn't make any difference as XeniumX is a scam, made by a well known scammer. I somehow doubt that project which is incapable of making their own whitepaper will bother with something as trivial as own app. Develiping an app means investing time, and you are obviously not interested in that as this is uick money grab, nothing else.

Another thing, all your shill posts are being reported to the moderators and will de deleted so you might as well stop with that.

I did the same thing in the past, when I was checking Bitwings for the first time, and back then they pretended that they don't know what i am talking about. They may have stopped for now but I am pretty sure that sooner or later they will continue with the same practice as they had several breaks like that and always came back.

This has to be probably the weirdest scam I encountered this year, it really doesn't make sense that seemingly legit company is still trying to pull something like this. This is not some scam where team is anon. here everything is known, they still have conferences in South America etc. Then again, Bitconnect was the same and we all know how that ended. Some people just don't care.

Sta reci, zene..


Naravno da mozes marku koristiti za slanje poste. Spominju to i na stranici, bas tamo gdje opisuju dijelove marke (onaj screenshot koji si ti podjelio u svom postu), a i u FAQ dijelu je to odgovoreno.

Two new additions to the list

[Ann] ⭐️ XENIUMX ⭐️ ⚡ Digital Asset eCommerce Token ⚡ ⭐️
Beside hiring sock puppet accounts to fake the interest, XeniumX also completely plagiarized whitepaper of another project and is a work of a known and serial scammer Laurie Suarez. You can read more about it in scam accusation thread.


xpocket - The one-stop solution for your crypto assets
XPocket is just another shitty DeFi that hired the same newbie accounts as above mentioned XeniumX. THose accounts are working exclusively in those two threads, and nowhere else. Another "coincidence" is that all those accounts are created in the last few days/weeks.

You are asking us whether bounty campaigns are profitable yet you are doing them at least since August 2019.

The way I would approach bounty campaigns if I ever wanted to join one is I would ask myself would I ever invest my own money into this, does the project makes any sense?Time is money. Now, I know that's not what majority of bounty hunters are doing, as all they do really is joining any campaign that shows up and hope for the best and in most cases they are doing most simple tasks possible, like sharing social media. But exactly that's why we have so many shitty campaigns as people are not ready to do due diligence and simply ignore shitty ones.

My advice for you is to start looking outside of bounty section, this forum is much more than that. There are examples of people that started as aidrop/bounty hunters and now are respected members of this forum.

@icopress je konacno objavio rezultate glasanja. Domaci board je bio zastupljen u "Scambuster" kategoriji gdje je @dkbit98 imao 4 glasa, @marlboroza 26 a ja 31. takodjer smo imali svog predstavnika u "Absolute Hero of Good" gdje je @Daniel91 imao 3 glasa.

Kome se da, moze rijesiti i kviz o bitcointalk povijesti. Ja sam ga odradio, i jos sam jednom pokazao da nemam bas pojma o bitcointalku, iamo sam samo 6/20 tocnih.odgovora.

Forum je savrsena replika stvarnog svijeta, sva sranja koja se vani dogadjaju, samo se repliciraju ovdje. Ne znam zasto je itko ocekivao da forumsko glasanje bude ista drukcije od recimo glasanja na parlamentarnim izborima. Mulja se tamo, mulja se i ovdje. Vani se obecavaju radna mjesta, a ovdje se ekipa nada da ce dobiti mjesto u kampanji. Demokracija na djelu

Mene to sve ne jebe ni 3% niti shvacam to ozbiljno.

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks everyone who voted for me. Didn't expect to finish first as there are many more experienced scambusters around that are trying to make this forum a little bit safer for the others.

Regarding the quiz, I kinda expected that I will suck at this so it was no surprise that I had only 6/20. I haven't even heard about few things in the quiz before, but at least I learned a little bit of bitcointalk history.

Apropo the painting that @bitcoinermatt claimed that it is his own work, I decided to contact the person who I thought  is original creator, and just to rule out that they are not the same person.

That person (@coaster89) just confirmed me via reddit message that he doesn't even have bitcointalk account, meaning @bitcoinermatt  is guilty of plagiarism and we all know what's the penalty for that.

Here is the screenshot of the conversation I just had with him, confirming my suspicion. I hope that this is enough for him to get banned.  As  @hosseinimr93 suspected, this guy is dodgy af. I just don't understand what exactly he wanted to achieve with this painting claim. Was that just a merit fishing attempt?

Like a lottery? No way, it is quite the opposite. I skimmed over your post history, and in the last six month or so you wrote 4 (four) posts that weren't bounty reports so of course it may feel like a lottery to you, but as long as you keep writing useless posts (and bounty reports are completely useless) you won't get any merit.

As an encouragement you might wanna check this thread The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days. Plenty of low ranking members there that have no issues when it comes to merit.

It shouldn't really be, but over time it kinda evolved to that, at least to some degree. Members are not as stingy as they used to be when it comes to merit sharing (at least that's what I've been told by older members) so people merit for other reasons other than simply for post quality.


edit: While looking through your post history I noticed that you shared one really cool bitcoin themed painting


A little bit a of reverse image search and I found this painting on Instagram as work of user @coaster89. It can be found on reddit too (again user with the same name shared it, coaster89). Interesting thing about this is that he is actually making money out of his paintings, selling it for ETH, as seen on this link https://app.rarible.com/coaster89/collectibles.

So, either @coaster89 ripped you off, or you took his drawing and presented it as your own, or maybe both of you are the same person?


edit2: Same painting has been shared by @buyinbtc in Wall thread at the beginning of 2020

Problem with tagging is that you can probably find many similar cases, people sharing merits for posts of questionable quality. I do agree that this kind of merit sharing is suspicious but I would really like to see more solid evidence than that, like use of same social media accounts or same address.

A je, al znas kako to ide kod nas s obzirom na kolicinu prevednog materijala; jednostavno moras razumijeti engleski da bi bio dio icega. Mozda zato bolje baratamo engleskim od ovih vecih nacija, mi smo ga jednostavno prisiljeni znati.

Uglavnom, dodao sam ove dvije knjige koje si spomenuo te sam nasao i prijevod onog Medium clanka koji je fillippone naveo u svom postu, "Modeling Bitcoin Value with Scarcity" tj  nasu verziju Modeliranje vrijednosti Bitcoina na temelju njegove rijetkosti. Vidim da je ista osoba prevela i Bitcoin whitepaper pa sam dodao i to.

Yeah he went bonkers after @holydarkness busted him for having plagiarized whitepaper, accusing few of us for extortion and other nonsense. He is offlline for a few days now and he locked that ridiculous thread in scam accusation board so I guess he finally realized he won't achieve anything with those false accusations, on the contrary, he just brought more crap on himself, as expected.

@examplens also made similar topic about him few days ago and his abuse of trust system
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5300399.0

This. Or to quote Michael Scott "No. God. Please. No"

I am one of those that wouldn't like to see something like that being implemented. Few years ago I removed those price tracking apps from my phone as I was checking the damn prices 50 times per day even though I wasn't actively trading and. Now I mostly hear about the price if someone tells me about it or if I read somewhere.


How hard is that? Or even better, stop checking price constantly and enjoy the ride

I stumbled upon it by a pure chance and I am for sure glad I did! While checking those resources you provided I thought it would be a good idea to have that in my local board since we can expect influx of new people now when BTC reached all time high.

As you, I also think that local boards are important part of bitcointalk and can help spread the word about bitcoin greatly. Not just because it is nice to be able to talk in your native language and therefore express yourself better, but also because when you are newbie bitcointalk can be initimidating place and having a place like that can help. I know it helped me at the beginning and I am probably not the only one.
