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?

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.


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.

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.

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.

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.


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.

If the device is about 1.5 years old then it is still under warranty, and accordingly, you could ask for a replacement. I know someone on the forum had a problem with the screen and that that device was replaced for free.

As for replacing the screen, if you are skilled enough to do so, I do not see what the vulnerability of such a procedure would be, or I do not know if such a screen can be modified in any way to be malicious. I know there are malicious USB cables to watch out for, and I guess everything is subject to some malicious modification.

I have already written that El Salvador and their president refused to condemn Russia's aggression against Ukraine, and thus certainly lost the support of some investors - and it is possible that some were connected with Russia. Besides, do you know why Bukele abruptly canceled his Miami conference? This was certainly not because roses were blooming in El Salvador, or honey and milk were flowing in the streets - on the contrary, something else was flowing.

Has Bitcoin become boring to you again? All this time you spent on the forum using various alt profiles did not have any positive effects on you, in other words you did not move a millimeter in the direction of understanding at least some basics. Smart people profit every day no matter the price Bitcoin has, but for things like that you have to be intelligent.

Then we have to say that some of them deserve to be scammed if they invest in something that is very likely to result in financial loss. It reminds me somewhat of gambling or playing the lottery because even though we know our chances are minimal, we will still give our money out of some hope of winning, while some others do it out of addiction.

At the end of the day, everyone should be responsible for their own behavior, and even that old saying goes "as you sow, so shall you reap".

The time when governments tried to help the economy and ordinary people with various measures is over, now they will try to charge us with interest, and they have two good excuses, inflation and war. It is not easy for ordinary people, but for those who knew that this time will come sooner or later, it is still easier to reconcile that we have to adjust - I have experience with much worse things than inflation, so I can accept such challenges perhaps easier than others.


I hope you enjoy your visit, especially at this time of year when it is not too hot - and I hope it will be nice weather, because yesterday was a very stormy day with strong winds and rain along the entire coast. The good thing is that all measures against covid have been removed, masks are needed only in pharmacies, hospitals, and nursing homes. I would buy you a beer, but unfortunately, I am currently located far from the coast.

I hope you're kidding, but just in case, I'm not Satoshi


The chances are always there, but it could be any of the early miners, and we know there were many more than Satoshi and Hal Finney during 2009. See more in this thread.


I got lost here because I don't understand what post you're talking about - Satoshi was last active on December 13, 2010, and I wasn't a member of the forum back in 2011.

I think you have a good idea of what is currently affecting the markets, and there is a lot of talk about these things on various business TV channels that I have watched in the last few days. Despite the good news, risky investing at the moment is not an option for the average Joe as he becomes increasingly aware that the prices of all essentials are skyrocketing.

Of course, that doesn’t mean no one is buying, but even big fish can’t move the crypto market upward at the moment.

I will not say that there is anything in the fact that Greece is in a position to pay dearly for all the help it received to get out of bankruptcy, but it seems to me that your hands are quite tied and that you are at the mercy of Brussels and the European Central Bank. I will not say that it is better in my country because we are somewhere in the middle when it comes to inflation and data for February, but since we have our own currency, some things are still easier to implement than being in the eurozone.

Some other countries are even more disadvantaged with double-digit inflation rates - Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia are examples that there can always be worse. Given that all three countries have decided to stop importing Russian oil and gas, it remains to be seen how this will affect inflation in the coming months.

You'll have to ask who wrote it for an explanation, and since he signed a bunch of BTC addresses from 2009, maybe it's Satoshi - it seemed appropriate to me in answer to your question. It is logical that Bitcoin must be developed and upgraded, but the emphasis is on the fact that it must retain its essence, that is, there should not be some radical changes like what people who did some of their visions of Bitcoin did. All of this is written in the context of proving that CW (Faketoshi) is not Satoshi.

What is the benefit of digital currency if most of the world will not accept it? Let's say that Russia has its own CBDC at the moment, it would have to convince all its allies to accept the currency and that would make trading somewhat easier for them - but that doesn't solve their problem with sanctions imposed on almost all major countries.


I know there have been some stories that they are working on it, but as I have already written I do not believe that something like this can help them save their economy. In 5-10 years, Russia can be back to where it was before the war because it has what the world needs (oil, gas, nuclear fuel ...), but only if war ends as soon as possible. Of course, the condition for lifting the sanctions will be for Putin to step down, but he can always set up a puppet to rule for him.

People are very forgetful (or pretend to have forgotten), so it is possible that Germany is leading the EU, and 80 years ago they caused the deaths of tens of millions of people - Serbia, which only 30 years ago did the same thing Russia does today, is a candidate to join the EU without changing their foreign policy towards their neighbors at all.

Regardless of all the views Buffett has about Bitcoin, and regardless of the fact that he is not on my list of people I appreciate for one reason or another, I would not call him a sociopath just because he thinks negatively about Bitcoin. He’s an old-fashioned investor who’s too late to change anyway, and with one foot in the grave why should anyone care what he thinks of Bitcoin?

What worries me more are these modern sociopaths who are in a position to make laws and fight Bitcoin at a level where they can do the most damage. So I think our focus should be on some other things that we might have some influence on, and old people like WB should be left to enjoy the rest of their lives, even if their opinions don’t match ours.

I don't mind someone promoting Bitcoin in this way, but it still depends on the environment in which the individual is. A person who goes to a Bitcoin conference or a person who promotes some of their own Bitcoin-related business will take the opportunity to send a message with their clothes. On the other hand, the average person should always ask himself whether it is wise to draw attention to himself with such clothes, because our own safety should always be a priority.

I would love to wear a T-shirt or hat with the BTC logo, but I’m sure it would only bring me problems, so I try to keep all my crypto activities online.

Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned, but for me such presentations are quite irritating and uninteresting, but I understand that these future generations want to listen to just such things - luckily we have the choice to change the program or turn off the TV whenever we want.


In the end it all comes down to the price of Bitcoin and unfortunately it must be admitted that the vast majority do not care about anything else. If we look at how the crypto market reacts to the Mallers exposure at the conference, then we see that people were mostly disappointed given that for days there has been talk that Apple is the big news. No one takes into account that Apple is not MicroStrategy, and that some of the biggest shareholders like Berkshire Hathaway would certainly not be happy if the company was linked to Bitcoin in any way.


It's the only logical thing, people need to decide how to use something, and if these big investors send a message with their example that Bitcoin is digital gold, I have no doubt that most of them will follow.
