If you check the post history of the user, you will see nothing which is as a result of all his posts deleted. Which means it has been detected by moderators that he is a spammer and his account has been banned.

Spamming bitcointalk do not condone.
5762  Economy / Economics / Re: The supply issue on: December 30, 2020, 07:46:19 AM
People need to realize that bitcoin supply can not be decreased or increased, it is only 21 million. This is what Satoshi Nakamoto did and inside bitcoin white paper. I do not see how another layer protocol would increase bitcoin supply. Anything that can increase bitcoin supply can only be a bug which will definitely be fixed while bitcoin supply remain 21 million. In the future, even if some bitcoin community propose this, it will only lead to a hardfork in which another shitcoin will be created. This is nothing to be bothered about because bitcoin will remain bitcoin and the supply can not be affected but remain 21 million.
5763  Economy / Economics / Re: Second lockdown due to covid19 is painful on: December 29, 2020, 09:14:54 AM
This is not the second lockdown, it depends on the country you are from. There have been many countries that have had second lockdown since. Second lockdown has been driven as a result of the virus infecting more people after the first lock down ended. Which means for any country that has had or is having or will have second lock down or third or more, it will only be as a result to reduce the pandemic because if their is no lock down after the infection is rising in a country, it will only lead to a problem that can get all people in the country infected if their is no lock down and isolation.
5764  Economy / Economics / Re: Financiers would never invest in bitcoin? on: December 29, 2020, 08:42:05 AM
Financiers are institutional investors investors that invested with institutions that will be paid back in profit, or you can correct me if I am wrong about that. I will only focus on them, their numbers have increased in this year because many institutions are investing in bitcoin, this could be the rise of institutions that will invest in bitcoin. 2021 can be the year of more rise of institutions that will be investing in bitcoin. They have later have to know that bitcoin is a new era money and yet an asset that is not inflationary like gold, fiats and many like that, it is real deflationary unlike those. We all know how fiats is so inflationary while gold may not be left out if true value is considered. There will be no option for financiers than to invest in bitcoin because it is better, and the world have being dawning to understand this unlike the olden time.

2FA authenticator uses software such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy. It operates on a TOTP (time based one-time password) concept. TOTP is more reliable than SMS, however, there have been reports of hackers stealing authentication codes from Android smartphones. There are even some malwares that can copy and send authenticator codes to a hacker.
First of all, not all authentication codes are Time-based One-time Password (TOTP), some are HMAC-based One-time Password algorithm (HOTP) which depends on a counter. Also there are many other good 2 factor authenticators, like AndOTP and Aegis, they are all good too.

About the malware that can steal authenticator codes, trojan is just the typical example.

While to know if giveaway is true or not, we should not only believe in emails, or making sure the email is from the legit site, this should be assured by making sure the email that sent such giveaway is not looking similar but exactly the same with original from binance but this can be tricky and we need to be very careful. About binance, this can be good for binance users to check the notification on their trading platform on their account, binance would have notified them from both the email and the notification message, the notification message on binance is authentic and not tricky like email which can be fake but just similar to binance emaL. People need to be careful, binance do give giveaway that require little tasks, but scammers like to take advantage of that too but creating a fake giveaway that can be used to scam people.

I sent them to indodax, so i'll try to call their support..
This is the best you can do, your bitcoin is not lost because you sent the bitcoin to the right address. On exchanges, this kind of a thing can happen, what actually caused it is what I do not know but it can happen on custodial exchanges and wallets unlike noncustodial exchanges and wallets which it can not happen. Your address will be funded immediately you provided all necessary information that will be forwarded to you to provide to make it certain that you are the real owner of the wallet and also that the transaction actually is for you.

It is just true that bitcoin is already known world wide, from normal investors to institutions now and promising that bitcoin is going mainstream. But having a song for bitcoin is not bad at all, it can still help let people to know more about bitcoin. But the main  issue now which I have found out is that some people even wish to invest in bitcoin but they do not yet know how to, these are the people surrounding me now. I think looking for ways to simplify bitcoin to these such people should worth more attention.
5770  Economy / Economics / Re: Van Eck The Investment Case for Bitcoin on: December 25, 2020, 07:48:30 PM
It will be good if more institutions join in investing in bitcoin, it will be good very well and can be the main reason bitcoin will increase more in price like it did from $10000 to the price above $23000 now. While bitcoin will have more or increasing marketcap, also the price will increase while also the institutions will later have their gain if they continue to invest, this will only later lead to fomo which is normal investors that will also drive the price higher.

All what is said about bitcoin are true, it is just store of value that is not similar to fiat or stocks but bitcoin has its own unique characteristics that makes it superior.
5771  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Open for bitcoin payment on: December 25, 2020, 07:39:40 PM
I do not see this surprising but it is a very good idea. I do not see it surprising because bitcoin is getting more popular day after day, there will be a time bitcoin will be used directly as a payment means and which will mmbe more common than today. Bitcoin is just what we can call money, and can be used for payment. It will be good to make use of price correction algorithm that can make bitcoin price equals to fiat price as mentioned before so to make it perfect for price fluctuations.
5772  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless on: December 25, 2020, 07:30:58 PM
Is is not only full KYC at exchanges or Bountys which is dangerous. Even if you purchase something what is relating to Crypto and your adress got leaked you can get in really danger. Just look at the Ledger hack.
You are just very right, but I believe those people do not know they were getting verified for just buying ledger wallet directly from the company, now many of the buyers are now facing even threats that are physical and also phishing that have cost many ledger wallet owners to lose their funds. In anything we are doing, no kyc is the best, we should be completely having no link of our address, email or any related things to our wallet.
5773  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can 2FA be Hacked? on: December 25, 2020, 06:52:21 PM
There is back ups for every accounts you add in your google authentication app, assuming you buy a new smartphone now you can easily export all the 2FA accounts into the new phone, meaning that if someone have access  to your phone they can export your 2FA settings and gave access to every websites you use 2FA on
You are right, if hackers can steal the 2fa back up, the hacker will be able to to access the 2fa code successfully, but there are many other ways to get access to the back up, and there are ways the back up is not needed at all but the time codes which is changing every 30 seconds or so will still be revealed. This can be possible through malacious codes hackers can input into devices like phones and computers.
5774  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's highest price before the Year End's on: December 25, 2020, 06:24:28 PM
There is nothing still impossible about bitcoin, it is very possible that bitcoin will get to all time high which could be $25000 before the end of the year but I think even if not possible, it is very possible and more certain that bitcoin will get to $25000 the beginning of next year.

I think it makes sense to consider not the peak values (which can be any but very short-term) but the average. At least the average daily price can be considered real (bitcoin trading volumes are very large per day and are difficult to manipulate). But in principle, for interest to continue to grow, even a sharp increase will create a lot of info reasons.
I too will consider the average daily price because of what you said. But as for the best about trading, I do have my stop loss in order to have a better profit which can still be around the average daily price.
5775  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wow, The Best Crypto Christmas Ever! on: December 25, 2020, 06:14:45 PM
I do not know if this is the best Christmas if comes to crypto prices (bitcoin specificall) but it is known to be a bullrun time which led to increase in bitcoin price. Although the price of bitcoin has been increasing right from yesterday from $23230 that bitcoin market closed but later increased to $24700 as its highest price today, now at $24100 which is still a good price. What I am now expecting is the price to increase in the coming year which has been what people are expecting.
5776  Other / Meta / Re: Remove Signatures from Altcoin-sections on: December 25, 2020, 06:49:52 AM
Altcoin section is also contributing good to this forum wellness, many people on this forum do not know the more we are the more will be shit posters and also average posters of different categories. If signature is removed from the altcoin boards, it just simple means altcoin boards posting activities will reduce. The bitcoin boards will be unfit for many members of this forum in a way they will have to leave therefore reducing bitcointalk members which can be detrimental.
5777  Economy / Economics / Re: IF USDT would collapse what do you think will happen to the BTC price? on: December 25, 2020, 06:37:54 AM
USDT collapse means crypto industry collapse. This will hurt really hard
USDT can collapse but it if it collapse it can happen in a way nothing will happen to crypto industry, my reasons are

1. USDT is said to be owned by an exchange bitfinex which was hacked few years ago and believe to have manipulated tether to pay their dept (the bitfinex hack)
2. Knowing that their are government organizations that are investigating this, although it can be underground
3. Tether is not only the stable coin, it can be delisted on exchanges and be replaced by other stable coins.

Only coin that can collapse and result to the collapse of crypto industry generally is bitcoin, but this has not be seen to be able happen in future.
5778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is headed for the stars, but... on: December 25, 2020, 06:26:25 AM
Sell your bitcoins if you need food. It doesn't make sense to starve to death hoping that you will live off BTC profits.
Nice idea.

But if you can, hang onto the Bitcoins you have. Because you will be rich when BTC goes to a $million or higher.
If possible bitcoin will go $1 million one day, the day is still very far, not 10 years from now because the marketcap needed for that is very high. Did you know that over a trillion marketcap will get bitcoin to just $100000, which means more 10 fold is still required to get it to such price. If more institutions can pump in more money and buy bitcoin, possibly will result to bitcoin getting to such price.

But, what I know is that no matter what, bitcoin price will ever be at increase everytime over long term period. 
5779  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Sent ETH to BTC wallet address on: December 25, 2020, 06:08:29 AM
I guess he mistakenly bought ETH and sent it to his coinbase bitcoin address. The issue now is if the ETH sent to bitcoin address if it can be retrieved or recovered? But I do not think it can. Which means the fund has just been lost, we should not send to wrong address because it can result to permanent loss of coin. We should also be careful of fake apps, making only the legit app to purchase bitcoin.
5780  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin $318K by December 2021 on: December 24, 2020, 10:23:00 PM
too high if the price can go up to $ 300k, even I don't think so, it will be at least $ 30,000 which is good. so now prepare yourself for an even higher price
too high if the price can go up to $ 300k, even I don't think so, it will be at least $ 30,000 which is good. so now prepare yourself for an even higher price
It is not too high if the price of bitcoin can go up a million dollars in 2021 but it is not possible. It is not also possible to achieve $100000 not to talk of bitcoin price achieving $318000. What we should speculate more about now is about 2021 bitcoin price will be that bitcoin can grow up to $50000 or  to $80000 but thinking of more than that is not achievable.
