5361  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about the price of Bitcoin now? Take profit or greed? on: November 20, 2020, 04:02:33 PM
I must admit that greed (might be just common sense in the end) is slowly kicking in since we quietly reached these prices without any kind of fomo and hype. Two years ago plan was to sell half when it reaches price close or similar to previous all time high, but that plan is changed now.

I do plan to take some out very soon, but only fraction of the amount I thought I would. Black Friday is coming up so might treat my family with something nice and Christmas is not far away so I have to think about that too. You gotta indulge yourself every once in a while, otherwise what's the point.


I saw in another forum tha few people have already started selling their Bitcoin at 17k. I assume they were those who were stuck at that level from 2017.
People selling at 17k doesn't necessarily mean that they once bought at similar levels (unless they explicitly said that ofc) so they are finally getting out. It might just mean that some people are scaling out, as experienced investors/traders tend to do that. They don't wait for price to reach the top in order to sell it all at once but they rather sell it bit by bit as price is increasing, therefore taking the profit. When you think about it, it does make sense.
5362  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal Reaches 85% of Binance.US Volume on: November 20, 2020, 12:41:11 PM
How high a bar is binance.us? Since you hardly ever hear about it not very is my guess. All the same this is definitely one to watch. It may be offensive to us but just what the doctor ordered for others.
Bar is not really high. According to Coingecko, Binance US volume is just shy over 30 million USD. Pretty low compared to top US based exchange like Coinbase with its 900+ million 24 hour volume. But it sounds better and more bullish  when you write "Paypal volume is 85% of Binance US volume" instead "Paypal volume is at 3% of Coinbase Pro volume". You gotta make people click that link Cheesy

Nevertheless, it is a good number for Paypal in just 1 month, which i expect to increase sharply once FOMO kicks in.


They won't blame bitcoin for a Paypal problem, it's as silly as blaming the dollar or euro and the world financial system for disputed dollar/euro transactions and banking fraud, and fiat scams! They don't understand how any of those things work either, so why should they blame something they don't understand?
That's exactly why they would blame bitcoin, because they don't understand the basics. I do agree that is ridiculous, but that's what people do.
5363  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [WARNING] iFarming.Finance (DeFi) - Plagiarized Contents on: November 20, 2020, 11:35:45 AM
Also, I do have some serious doubts as to the identity of one of their members, namely AMELIA BRIGGS as it may be computer generated (hopefully you guys can check it).
Since 90% of the team is anonymous and without proper photos, (one member is even named Jane Doe) this "Amelia Briggs" is either  generated or stock photo, most certainly that's not photo of the real person under that name, that is part of iFraming Finance. On top of that you can add an empty claim that their  team worked for some top companies like Google and IBM, without any proof like LinkeIn profiles. In the end, that doesn't even matter much as with the rest of the evidence you provided it's obvious that sole purpose of IFinance is to use DeFi hype to fool naive investors. Hell, even that part about being "unique platform" is copied from someone else. So much about uniqueness...

Considering all the above, I tagged the @yieldtoken and waiting for you to raise the flag.
5364  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC market cap hits ATH on: November 19, 2020, 06:03:47 PM
A growth in the market cap is exactly what we need to see, as a higher market cap means that new money is being pumped into the market rather than more BTC being unlocked.
Au contraire. Current ATH mcap we see is exactly because more BTC has been unlocked/mined in the last few years, since BTC didn't reach ATH yet. Personally, I don't think that mcap is very important metric as it can be very misleading. It's nice to look at, but nothing else really.

First of all, it's often used by various shitcoins to attract new investors who decide whether to buy or not something depending on the mcap rank. For example, you can make some shitcoin with huge supply, get it on some irrelevant exchange, pump the price and get unrealistically high mcap.

2nd, as we all know mcap is calculated by multiplying current price and current amount of coins in circulation, but then again we often have no idea what's the circulation. In BTC case, 18,547,962 has been mined up until now, but are all of those coins in circulation? What about all lost BTC, should that be counted too?

In the end, if mcap increases  or decreases by xyz billion, it doesn't mean that amount of money entered or exited that specific market.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5290386.msg55619569#new

evo nova kampanja od Hhampuza, primaju 30? Hero/Legendary clanova - placanje je 0.0035 BTC/week
uslov je 25/10 - 25 postova, 10 u Gambling-u, pa ako je nekome interesantno, mada koliko vidim svi su trenutno u nekoj kampanji, i istih je sve vise i vise
Zbog ocito kronicnog nedostatka Hero/Legendary membera, kampanja sada prima i Sr Member clanove, pa eto ti prilike da se odmah rijesis tog Bitvesta. Nije losa lova, 0.0025 BTC tjedno, a koliko vidim smanjili su i broj potrebnih postova sa 25 na 20.

Gledam malo kakva sve ekipa upada u BTC kampanje, to nisu istine. Kriteriji se doslovno snizavaju iz tjedna u tjedan, dovoljno je biti Hero member, ni merit a ni prethodna aktivnost vise nije neki uvjet. Sad je daj sta das, samo da se moze okaciti sig.


Super je situacija s kampanjama, stvarno se ne bih previše začudio da neke i podignu plaće uskoro. Roobet sumnjam, oni imaju stvarno male zahtjeve u odnosu na većinu ostalih pa je samim tim kampanja već ispred.
Mislim da ce dugorocno morati i one, jer ako se ovako nastavi kampanje ce samo povecavati isplate pa kad se redovno pocne nuditi po 100 USD tjedno, bit ce masovnih prelazaka, pa cak i iz kampanja kao sto je Roobet. Pogotovo bi mogli  prelaziti oni koji postanu Hero  a zapnu na Sr Member lovi pa onda moraju cekati da se oslobodi mjesto. Srecom po mene BestChange je po tom pitanju jako fer, automatski su me prebacili u veci platezni rang jucer.
5366  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal Reaches 85% of Binance.US Volume on: November 19, 2020, 03:59:08 PM
a few years ago my money was locked in paypal, less than $5. but they asked me for a bunch of legal documents  Grin
I know few people that lost PayPal account due same thing few years ago. I also used Paypal for buying and selling  cryto back then, but when I saw what's happening I stopped and haven't used Paypal since then. It's funny how things turn around, and even though what they sell to people is not the real bitcon, I still see this as their defeat. Bitcoin vs Paypal 1-0.


So with a user base of 346 million worldwide that are basically still untapped, this could push the Bitcoin price to the Moon. I am very conflicted with this offering, because I rather want people to own their own coins (Sole access to their Private keys for their coins) ...but this global exposure are helping to take the Bitcoin experiment to a global audience.. which is good for this experiment.  Wink
That's true. I don't know about other area, but PayPal is very popular here in Europe too, so once that becomes available here I am sure that many will be interested investing that way. This PayPal thing is far from perfect, but I expect people to eventually get the real stuff once they familiarize themselves more with all the pro's of being able to do whatever you want with your bitcoin and not being in fear of getting your funds locked because whatever reason.
5367  Economy / Reputation / Re: Another trust abusing by efialtis on: November 19, 2020, 03:42:09 PM
Maybe the guy who gave the feedback is not in DT list by the time he leave the feedback so the OP didn't notice that time. I notice that Efialtis become a DT1 on August update which is 1 month after the feedback left.
Yet we are in November now, meaning few months passed since that negative feedback became visible. Since we are playing the guessing game, I think that Peloso just got bored so he decided to stir some shit to get attention. As simple as that, and pretty common thing here in Reputation board.
5368  Economy / Scam Accusations / [SCAM] Yearn Finance Tech DeFi shitcoin on: November 19, 2020, 11:46:23 AM
What happened: Yearn Finance Tech is just another useless scammy DeFi for which creation is spent minimum amount of time and effort. Beside website  looking like it's been made in half an hour, basically there are no other info about the project itself. No whitepaper, no team, no features explained.

All they have is roadmap that looks like wish list, empty promises about exchange listings and bitcointalk bounty campaign going on, for which hundreds of bounty hunters applied, without stopping for a second to check whether the project they support makes any sense. What we can expect though is "I've been scammed by YFIT bounty manager" thread in a couple of months.

To attract naive investors, they decided to organize giveaway for all those that hold at least 10 YFIT (10 YFIT=1 ETH). Giveaway has no rules, only thing they have is a vague promise of 5,000 USD worth of ETH. Its pretty obvious and desperate  attempt to get at least some ETH, before they disappear.


5369  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] Coinizie promising 10% daily return on: November 19, 2020, 09:07:34 AM
Well the good thing is that the thread got removed - probably was reported by some other member, good job to them and the mods for this.

The account is probably a shill account a I dont expect it to come back claiming for removal of red trust.
@daymn2020  was nuked yesterday, so he is not coming back with that account for sure. He started making Coinizie ANN threads on several different boards like Altcoin, Bitcoin Discussions, Mining etc. Some of those threads got deleted but he continued making new ones so I reported him to mods asking whether he can be nuked as it was a new account made for only one purpose, and that is to spread that scam thread on as many boards as possible.

Even though we got rid of that account, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him back. Those newbie accounts are disposable and for one use  anyway, kinda like burner phones.

5371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: November 18, 2020, 06:26:22 PM
Bogdan Bogdanovic is one of the best players in NBA ...
Don't you think that you are exaggerating just a "little" bit? I mean, Bogdan is a decent player, but still far away from one of the players in NBA. In a contender team he could be 3rd or 4th string, not a first option that will carry a team, like all those those franchise players. Unless you mistaken Bogdan Bogdabovic with Bojan Bogdanovic which is a superior player and underrated too, but even though I am his fan I still wouldn't name him one of the best in the league.


I think that is a bit much.  If giannis bounces, those first round picks might be all lottery picks.  All for jrue holiday.  That is crazy.  I do get it though, its tough for Milwaukee to get free agents to come in to a lower market.  Most want to go to the larger markets like LA.  I just think they got fleeced on that one.
They did give a lot, but I think that was one of the requirement in order for Giannis to sign the new contract. Their hands are tied really, they are small market team and if they loose him they won't be able to attract another free agent of his caliber easily. Since they brought new players, I am pretty sure that Giannis signs supermax next year. Unless they get kicked out of playoff early or some other disaster, but chances for that happening are slim to none.


I hope they kept George Hill. Great defender.
Yeah he  is a good team player and would be a good backup for Jrue, but latter  is superior in every way. Jrue was in All-defensive first team in 2018 and all defensive 2nd team in 2019 so he knows thing or two about quality defense. Anyway, I hope this gamble works out for them.
5372  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: November 18, 2020, 04:37:53 PM
A few days ago, I found some user on the Indonesian local board asking about decreased posting activity on the local board on a thread I created. So I want to get permission from the OP to take some data related to the distribution of post made on local board and update it in my thread without losing the source. If allowed, I'd like to get data from January 2020 to October 2020. Waiting for approval.
Of course you can use all the charts on this topic. After all, that's one of the reasons I started this, so members from other local boards can also share some of the stuff, if they find it interesting/useful. Beside these chart that I made, you can complement your topic with various data that you can find in @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard. Here are few examples:
5373  Other / Meta / Re: Why do people engage in pointless discussions with obvious trolls? on: November 18, 2020, 01:19:43 PM
They have personal to each other for too long
I understand that some members have long history and feuds that result in trolling each other from time to time, but I am more talking about members whose sole purpose is to troll, they make account only because of that, and people still get hooked.


Answer is: signature campaigns.
That's an obvious answer that first comes to mind, and it's true that this forum is specific in that regard as you have extra incentive to answer to any shitpost, unlike any other forum. But somehow I don't think that's the only reason (or even main reason for some) why people engage in that "activity".


Some people can write whole novels of empty talk without any real meaning, but my solution is to report all this posts to moderators and ignore those members.
I reported that "satoshi" topic, hopefully it gets deleted.  

Question I ask myself every time I want to answer to some nonsense topic: If I answer and consequently make  that troll happy as that's exactly what he wanted, am I any better than him?
In the end, if main reason why people still engage trolls is due signature campaign, maybe we should be more active in reporting such topics. When those start getting deleted more often, maybe people will realize that they are wasting their time.

edit: and satoshi topic is deleted, thnx mods! Smiley
5374  Other / Meta / Why do people engage in pointless discussions with obvious trolls? on: November 18, 2020, 12:35:34 PM
Seriously though, I just can't wrap my head around that. I understand that newbies and shitposters are looking at any  topic to dump their opinion and move on, but why more experienced members can't resist indulging an obvious trolls who make low value topics out of pure boredom? Are people equally bored as those trolls so this comes as some kind of fun?

Two examples from the first page of Meta
I am Satoshi Nakamoto
Where is my merits?

I didn't say that I never commented on some troll topic, but I am working on that, as I know that's exactly what those trolls want and I don't wanna give them the pleasure of responding to their nonsense.

Can this be seen as a spam so he gets nuked and all those topics deleted, since he is using new account made yesterday solely for that purpose. On top of that, all he is doing is advertising an obvious ponzi website, for which I reported him yesterday.

5379  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] Coinizie promising 10% daily return on: November 18, 2020, 07:54:11 AM
I actually read your thread about this so called "Certificate of Incorporation" and to be honest, I also thought that such document is essential to prove the genuineness of a project. Meaning, when they showed in their website the certificate, I though that the project was genuine.
You are not the only one who got fooled by that document, I also thought that it means something first time I came across that, and probably many others, especially if they are not from UK and don't know how all that works.

So, first time I saw Certificate of Incorporation being used at some obvious scam website, I thought it was photoshoped, but then I went to Companies House to check that company number, and I was surprised to see that company is listed there for real. It was weird, but I let it go, as I assumed that some are just willing to scam even with the real company behind it. But then i started seeing more and more of those ponzies, and all of them were registered in UK so I started becoming more suspicious, thinking that there must be a reason why they prefer UK. A little bit of Googling about it, and it was obvious how easy it was to submit false data to Companies House, and then based on that get that document. Worst of all, it's very cheap to do that (all this for less than 50 GBP)so it doesn't have to be some high end scam to pull this off.

They know that an average investor won't dig that deep, and if they are ready to believe that 10% per day is somehow realistic and possible, they will easily buy Certificate of Incorporation as a solid proof of legitimacy.
5380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: November 18, 2020, 07:34:38 AM
I see that noone mentions Milwaukee Bucks and big moves they did on Monday/Tuesday

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30333660/sources-milwaukee-bucks-agree-deals-new-orleans-pelicans-jrue-holiday-sacramento-kings-bogdan-bogdanovic

First they sent George Hill, Eric Bledsoe and three first round picks to exchange for Jrue Holiday. After that they decided to go for another shooting guard (even tho Jrue is more of a PG) and acquired Bogdan Bogdanovic from Kings in exchange for Ersan Ilyasova, Donte DiVincenzo and D.J. Wilson. Jrue and Bogdanovic could compliment Giannis well, as having a pretty decent shooter as Bogdanovic will make more room for Giannis and his drives, while he will spread the court for them. On top of that, Jrue is an elite defender, and when you are aiming as high as Bucks, that is a must have.

They way I see it, since Giannis becomes unrestricted free agent next year and due Bucks fear of loosing him as it becomes more and more popular to sacrifice some money in exchange for title shot, they decided to go all in and will push for the this season's title.  I just hope this works,  Bucks reach the final so Giannis signs supermax contract next year. It would be shame to see once again "Anthony Davis" type of scenario, as it makes NBA less interesting when top talents are concentrated in few teams.



Thoughts? Do Bucks have what it takes this year to go for the title?
