Let me get this straight, your looking for a website provider that accepts payment via BTC, right?

Have you tried checking out Hostinger? Based on what I found, they don't really require KYC, they also cater to beginner web developers/bloggers. Seems like its quite a trusted and liked provider. You can see the reviews about it here.I also tried looking up various providers and I found quite a few. You can refer to them here. Not particularly sure if they meet most of your standards, though they do accept payments in BTC.

Credibility is a hard thing to know, especially if the platform used was telegram. I basically label anyone I talk to in there as a scammer and refuse 100% any types of transactions concerning any of the parties I talk to with. Also, what platform? Well, whatever you found or was sent to you, others also have it I suppose.

Codes for bots can be found at a few forums and sites, and just a quick google is enough for you to find one so I see no need for you to accept/follow the offer made to you. Just find one that suits you the best. Still, it isn't really needed and not really something you should pay for, so if asked for payment, don't bother. You're literally just wasting your time and money.

It can't replace it. It may replace fiat currency, aka being a cashless transaction around the globe, but the inherent need of people for money requires companies to retain the ability to become a fractional reserve. Of course, just like as of today, this requires both parties to agree and form contracts and agreements built upon rules enforced, but it also has an inherent difference to the current fiat system. One of which is the limited supply a coin could have, in which banks and the government would have no way of manipulating it.

Of course, this may become a situation where it isn't the government and the banks becoming the reserves, but rather private and public companies. This may pose some problems, especially since the relationship between the crypto scene and the government/banks isn't really a positive one.

The first step tbh, is to stop panicking. If you were to fully understand what the Virus is, and how it spreads, you can understand that the WHO asking for information is completely unneeded, especially if you haven't gone and shown any kind of symptoms. You can also notice it subtly on the sentence and grammar construction of the emails sent, like literally every type of scam email has a form of mistake that is commonly ignored but should be easily seen if observed carefully.

Sides, emails are completely open to the world with how much we use it, but if EVER the WHO would want any kind or sort of information, they would probably inform the world through PUBLIC channels. AKA, the media.

Hmmm... If $9700 could be described as lows, then the $3k last year could've been described as hell no? or maybe even just that $7k this year. It's not a massive drop or what not, jeez. Literally, everyone acts the same whenever price drops by 1-3%.  A massive drop should at the very least be at 10% or so. That's actually small but considering the amount BTC is at right now, that could be described as massive. Back on topic, honestly, we've seen drops like this every week ever since the start of February (aka the start of BTC constantly rising up even with the constant downs during Mondays - Wednesdays). Just the past 2 weeks have shown a drop from $9.4k to $9.1k last Feb 3, and $10k to $9.7k last Feb 10. Idk what's up with Mondays but so far, it has always shown an up and down motion every week, so I suppose it isn't weird for BTC and other coins to go back up by the end of the week.

There are actually rare cases (not sure) that a gambler actually has a harder time stopping when he's in a pretty bad spot with regards to other matters in his life, whether it be a problem concerning money or not. In those cases, those people could rightfully be called addicts, and would usually stop at nothing to earn money to gamble. They'd probably mortgage their own organs or even life if they could, all so that they could gamble it out.

Imo though, its a lot easier to stop if you know what you're doing. In a sense, after winning a few times or losing a few times, you'd come to consider that you're gambling no? You'd come to realize that, okay I'm losing too much got to stop or okay I'm pretty lucky today, but I shouldn't really push it. Its the mindset that counts, not the situation I suppose.

If you absolutely know nothing, you can start off by sharing useful information. Some sources would be cointelegraph and other related sites that contain daily updates and information regarding the everyday events in the crypto scene. You can then slowly try to study various topics regarding BTC in the forum together with being updated daily to the events in the scene. You can't really get any merits as long as you know nothing, and posting repeatedly wouldn't help you develop your knowledge so study up.

Probably start the practice by posting, not for merits, but for questions. Find answers regarding things you don't understand, so you can share them to others as well in the near future. This takes time tbh, and if you're not willing to learn, it isn't really possible. It ain't like school where you're needed to study the materials given so its difficult at times to find the will to start studying all of a sudden.

Yea. Some campaigns require most people to post with an interval of around 20  - 30 mins or more, and they keep watch of this since managers don't count posts that are seen to be posted that is within the time limit. Still, reporting for some of these issues is rarely done, since the campaign itself has people who check the posts and the timeframe of the post.

Still, low-quality posts would naturally be deleted by admins/mods of the forum, so campaign managers don't really need to check the quality of the post much. There are also instances of the entire thread being deleted because of its low quality, but a reply of high quality was made, which in this case, is deleted as well.

Idk, I for one never use discord as a medium to look for people to transact with. I'm more up with people in forums, those of which are quite well known and are easy to know that are trusted and has transacted with a lot others. Discord is originally used to talk to people regarding various hobbies and the like. If you were to use it to find people to buy stuff, you'd basically be turning it into a 2nd telegram, in which we all know is filled with scammers here and there.

Sides, if one were to participate in telegram groups, you'd be quite used to it that you wouldn't trust anyone, even if they have transacted with you in the past. Just take care tbh, especially when it comes to money.

Hmmmm. Bitcoin could reach $90k, just not because of the reasons you stated. See, even if the rewards is halved down, the miners could still be fully capable of doing the same thing they've been doing. Just like what others have said, they use ASIC's not Supercomputers. Supercomputers may be a general term, but it isn't a term used to describe mining machines. The price of $90k is achievable, but its a low chance, and the time frame needed is not simply a few weeks nor a few months.

Lastly, the article you sent is in another language. I'm not sure what it is, but it isn't english for sure. Seems quite nonsense to share one when it isn't even readable by most people.

That isn't enough though as a collateral right? In the first place, holding a collateral for something as volatile as Bitcoin is problematic enough. Bitcoin changes everyday, but your collateral does not right? And if you actually use volatile altcoins, then both of them are changing right? Even if we use stable coins like USDT, fact is, BTC still changes in its price everyday.

The idea seems dead to me tbh. As Bitcoin stands to be transacted anonymously, and any type of lending services would probably be done on the internet, it lacks the idea of secure and safe lending service imo.

There isn't really anything wrong with how they predict things. It's called a prediction because it has a very large margin of error. If they were to describe it as an analysis and a hypothesis, there'd probably be a lot of wrongs about the article, but it isn't really shown as that. There's also the fact that they may just be doing this to get attention, or something similar.

Sides we all see this every now and then. Whenever BTC is in a good mood and it shows quite a good run, people start being positive and predictions made are way above the current market which seems quite impossible to reach. Then when BTC has a bad run, predictions about it turning useless, price going below a dollar and the like start popping up. It's the usual cycle tbh.

Kek, more resistance levels to break. It's like every time BTC breaks something that analysts say it must break to achieve a bull run, they then say afterward that, "nope, there's one more level to breakthrough".  Sides, a strong upward move? Isn't the fact that after only a single month, BTC has already moved up from $7k to $10k? 

It's kinda amusing how you seem to attach power levels to buyers and sellers in various countries lmao. No single group or what could possibly determine the market price of BTC. Hell, if it were like that, then the system Satoshi thought up of would have never seen this much attention in just a decade.

The basics of starting an investment is to KNOW what you're investing in. There is also the issue of how much you're willing to invest, and what type of investment you're going for. Various scams and the like going out and about on the internet, so determining which one of them is a scam and which is legit is one of the things you have to study in..

Lastly, do not be afraid to lose money. Every investor has had that kind of experience before, and taking a loss is a natural thing in this field. If you think taking a loss is profitable, then do it. That's why there's the idea of, investing only what you can lose after all.

Which country you are at anyway? And how bout distance of you to the receiver? If you want a guaranteed transfer, you can try setting up some form of time limit for the storage device to be used. Of course, you can encrypt it for double the safety, but probably making it delete itself or altering the seed phrase itself after a set time has passed seems quite nice.

I'm pretty sure mail services only check the item itself, its physical form and they don't particularly pay attention to what it's contents are. You can put the SDcard (or whatever your planning to use) together with a bunch of random stuff, for example, souvenirs and the like, and hide it there. Kind of like, creating a secret compartment of sorts?

Possibly. If we take into account the loss of value of USD and other fiat currencies, using BTC instead could be the way to go. Just that, I doubt the government would readily leave the fiat currency with just that. They'd probably look for a way to reset the market, restoring order. Not only that, afaik, if an inflation hits the globe, society itself would also become heavily affected, whether it be in terms of fiat currency or in terms of product flow, everything would be hugely affected. Sure, there are possibility that we would come back up from it quite nicely, but damages would surely be done, and I doubt only fiat would be the only one affected. The cryptoscene would probably be affected as well, one way or another.

I just hope they actually know what to do with the paper wallet you gave them. Or at least, they have the will to at the very least, visit the sites you gave them to learn more about BTC. A pretty nice promotion as a sideline as well IMO.

Still, hope you had a nice try with your endeavor and Happy Valentines to everyone in the forum!
Honestly rather hard to share paper wallets towards homeless people. Fiat, possibly, which is IMO a lot easier to give out. Cryptocurrency is still a tad bit advanced that the world needs to advance a lot more for it to become mainstream.

It was probably just a few people selling off their coins, exiting the market peacefully. This holds only temporarily though since I believe the strength of FOMO in the market is quite strong. The start off of the year is actually quite nice since the market hasn't really experienced any huge drops so far, and is mostly about correcting the price of BTC before pushing through once more. The FOMO itself is making itself increase, especially if you see the growth of BTC from the start of the year.
I guess so. But really, most of the traders participating in the BTC market are all in it for the profit, BUT they do advocate the idea of BTC being a mode of currency transaction. Both are being done hand in hand, and as such, has made quite the development in the crypto scene IMO.

No. I mean, sure, the nCov is spreading like wildfire, news are covering it every day, but I doubt it could affect the market, and even if it did, it wouldn't affect it by that much. There's a limit to the influence a single virus can do, especially since if you consider the speed of reaction of the world regarding it, unless it's a very complicated virus that would take decades to counter, then it shouldn't. But it isn't. There are already victims of the nCov that are already healed or at least, has removed its symptoms already so at the very least, it is shown that the nCov virus is curable.

A solid increase of BTC should only happen based on crypo related news/ demand and supply. That way, we can ensure that it isn't caused by an external factor "temporarily" which ultimately, imo, has a negative effect on the market of BTC.

No. It's more like the world found a common enemy, and so, temporarily made an alliance to counter that enemy. It's the usual plot where as long as a danger of sorts that a single country could not tackle alone, other countries would come and help to the rescue because they know. They know that if they didn't help, they might be next. Once the danger is gone, they'd probably be at each other next afterward. You should also note that a lot of people in the world are selfish. The Chinese community would probably be hit by a lot, and by a lot, I mean a LOT, of criticism, judgment and the like from other countries, especially those people whose families have been affected by the nCov virus.
