581  Local / India / Re: Which Indian crypto influencer are you following? on: August 25, 2023, 02:35:19 PM
There is only one influencer that i follow from india. Sumit kapoor's way of making videos is quite different from that of other influencers. Most importantly he shares the strategy that he follows. Most of the influencers do not do that instead they share something from the internet. Though i do not follow his portfolio management stratgey but i do like his entry and exit strategy.
582  Local / India / Re: what do you think about pi? on: August 24, 2023, 07:17:10 PM
I came across the project pi, my neighbors. friends are talking about pi, mining pi, pi is easy money, etc.
what do you think about this project, is it a scam? or another shit project.

many peoples are revealing their identity by sharing their documents by doing kyc,

is it worth spending time and energy on?

https://minepi.com/

From every possible angle, it looks like a scam. But some people do not care about it as long as they are making money. That is the reason there is still some demand of PI in some P2P telegram groups. If you got some PI free and it is transferrable then sell them to grab some free money. PI isn't a project to keep holding their coin. Most of their users are from Asian region so they will not get much attention in the west.

Actually you all must be familiar with this project Polygon Matic but do you know that master mind behind this project are Indians too? Unfortunately, just like, most of them great Indian moved to better country for various reasons. And founders clearly mentioned POLYGON IS NOT AN INDIAN STARTUP.

You can find the names here : https://polygon.technology/about

Kind of shocking right or at least to me because I never knew that. Most of the time, You can find the cryptocurrency projects coming from India is nothing but obvious scams, but this kind of good to hear and can say we are also involved in the development of crypto projects from time to time.

Yeah, they are indians and it is not shocking at all. If you look at most of the big projects you will see multi-national people in their team. Indian and Chinese origin people are common in crypto projects after all they share a vast number of people combined.

Scammy project is easy to identify. Most of them are copycats and team members are nowhere to be found on the internet. Its easy to identify legit team members if you check their LinkedIn profile.

After reading this post what i can see the OP is getting his knowledge from Peter Schiff or his followers. A lot of misunderstanding about Bitcoin and its technology. The technology you are talking about is better than bitcoin came after it. Most of those are inspired by bitcoin and blockchain technology directly or indirectly. If there is one true decentralized and censorship-resistant crypto asset that is bitcoin. Even SEC who is known for its anti-crypto tendency had to admit that.

It will be better not to use your mail publicly or on any website that has poor security measures. Sometimes websites get hacked or their user data is breached. I have found one of my email addresses from the list of a hacker who breached the data of a well-known company. The moderator of this website is well known for their reputation and their contribution. I do not think this is an insider job and accusing someone especially a forum moderator without solid proof is not a great personality.

587  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lessons Taken from Previous Bull Markets: How Will Your Approach Change? on: August 24, 2023, 04:13:54 PM
The crypto world has seen some really exciting bull markets, and right now, it looks like we might be gearing up for another one. Whether you've been trading for a while or you're new to the crypto scene, it's important to take a moment and think about the lessons we've learned from past bull runs.

Two lessons i learned from the last bull market that i think are worth sharing.

1. Don't sell too early
2. Selling some and buying more at a lower price is not a bad idea.

If you are not a bitcoin maximalist then most of you hold some other altcoin as well. In the last bull run, One of my friends sold some of his altcoins with 2X to 3X profits when they rode all over to more than 20X. He lost a lot of money and he regrets it. On the other hand that same person keep holding his Bitcoin even that touches 65K market by expecting it to cross 100k. He regrets that as well by thinking if he would have sold some of his bitcoin he could have bought 3 times more bitcoin with that same money.

So i think most of us want our portfolio to grow so if i get a chance to increase the number of bitcoin i have i will take it.

Yeah, I know of an identical incident in my country. Some police officers from my country stop a bus and arrest a man with his phone. Later we found out that the man was involved in gambling activity and at that time he was holding 22 Bitcoin in his mobile Bitcoin wallet. I am not sure if that man was dumb to do that or not conscious enough to carry his Bitcoin within his mobile phone.
I don't think there is nothing wrong with him having his bitcoin  along with him always but the truth  is that the country is messed  up and I don't know your country but if the guy can prove that his winnings are from gambling then I think their shouldn't be any reasons to hold him down except gambling is illegal  in your country .
On the other hand, if someone already has over 22 Bitcoins in his possession,  then what really must have hindered him from having a hardware wallet?
Well I'm sure only the victim can answer perfectly for himself but whatever the case  might be, we shoukd learn how to trade with caution while handling Bitcoin  and cryptocurrency in general especially  if it has restrictions in our country

Yeah, gambling is illegal in my country, and trading or exchanging any kind of cryptocurrencies as well. So hardware wallet is not so easy to get in the country and customers even blocked the delivery of safepal hardware wallet in some cases. You are right the country is just so messed up and the law enforcement agency tries to take advantage of the situation most of the time.

Still, bitcoin is very popular in my country and people uses P2P transaction to trade bitcoin with each other. Many use mobile banking system to bypass the formal banking channel so that they won't get caught.

I believe  the topic speaks volume for itself as it is already self explanatory.
This question was born out of a real life experience  where a petty trader was publicly  harassed by some uniformed security  personnels claiming  to be some police  officers and after some investigations the security  personnels claimed that the woman aided some criminal  activities  as well as some internet fraud simply because she made her private exchanges public and the government as some point also frowns  at the use of bitcoin  in my country.

Now my worries is that, this singular act has driven alot of fear to some low key bitcoin holders in my neighborhood  even myself and there are shops I hope in town that operate physical  exchanges.

~Do you think those dealers are safe?
~And what's the fate  of physical  cryptocurrency exchanges(r) in your country?

Let's  discuss

I had thought that the government was trying to time the ETF approvals to soak up all the BTC from mtgox disbursements. However, this latest delay into 2024 has me thinking instead they’re trying to time them along with the halving event in order to create a perfect storm situation. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a perfect storm brewing in crypto. Feels like 2016.

So they are going to make a mega bull season? Any price expectation from your side? Everyone is looking at 100K but if the govt is planning for something positive then this will be much bigger.
593  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Chase to control the market! on: August 15, 2023, 04:33:22 PM
I have been in crypto for more than 5 years and i have seen a lot of incidents within the industry. There was a time when government and even a lot of people call Bitcoin a scam or a scammer currency. Many thought that only hacker scammers use Bitcoin for money laundering, drug dealing etc. But now the situation has changed and it's good to see how institution chasing each other to not be late to join the industry. The situation is so intense that now what matter most is who will control the market. In the current situation, it seems, no one wants to be the last one to jump over space.
Well not sure where country you're from, but I haven't heard that much of a news here in my country regarding institutions chasing to buy or adopt the usage of Bitcoin. Surely most of the institutions are aware of Bitcoin's existence and they usually just tend to avoid the "uncertainty" of having to use one due to volatile prices that's happening with it.

In the early years of Bitcoin, most country warn their citizen about Bitcoin due to the possibility of scams or the possibility of being exploited by the scammers using Bitcoin. Since Bitcoin are yet to fully establish its footing on those days, the government warns their citizen of possible huge losses if Bitcoin collapses.  But due to Bitcoin proving itself again and again, many government decided to lean on being friendly or neutral about BTC
Well til this day, my local news still warn their people about the usage of Bitcoin although it's not technically regarding scams and exploitation, but rather the volatility of the market which kinda gets people off their railings in their savings. Even in my local app, I kinda get annoyed regarding the multiple instances of warnings even though I know that they just meant good anyway.

I just wish that government would just not really attempt to control their people in how they wanted to handle their own money.

Our central bank make it illegal to trade any kind of crypto assets and news papers and news channels are releasing negative bias news against it. But this just fasten the adoption and publicity of bitcoin within our local community. Many youth are working in different sector of the industry and earning a respectable income. Let the government do their things and we will do ours.
594  Other / Meta / Re: Whats your take on adding 2FA key as a Bitcointalk account security features. on: August 15, 2023, 04:29:25 PM
When you can prove authenticity by signing a message from any of your old/staked bitcoin address. why bother having 2FA? Learn to sign message if you are worried about account comprising.
Sure, but to have that as a requirement for logging in?  I wouldn't want to have to either sign a message from an address or do any other sort of 2FA.  If Theymos were to make such a feature optional, then I wouldn't be opposed to implementing a feature like that.  But if it was mandatory, forget about it.  I honestly can't stand any website that requires you to use 2FA to log in, and there are currently a few that I use regularly that do that.

I get how much more secure it is, but I'm of the opinion that anything like that which requires you to provide more personal information should be an opt-in feature.

I want it as an optional features. Some do not want to use it when other may find it useful. When the internet is being transitioning from web2 to web3 it is not a bad idea to have a option to use your bitcoin address to sign in to your bitcointalk account. Though i am against it to be a mandatory features but in support of it to be an optional features.

Good luck with that... see you in a few years Dictator69.

You've replied to JJG 9 times and received 9 merits from him, we all know you're not going anywhere. You're here to stay. You found the most gullible member of the WO to help you rank up your new alt account, congratulations on that and on making my ignore list.

You are actualy the most guillable. JJG is generous which you know nothing about

 You can try your best to butter him up but I don't believe JJG is going to give you any bitcoin.


I have checked merit list of various members from my local group and 90% of their merit was from WO. Some was just posting memes, Is this is a shortcut that some members are using to rank up fast! Also some local group members rank up pretty fast who has their merit source. What if we got some sat instead of merit from the forum for our contribution.  Grin
596  Other / Meta / Re: Whats your take on adding 2FA key as a Bitcointalk account security features. on: August 13, 2023, 03:53:29 PM

So why don't we add a Google authentication option as a security feature to the forum? This could prevent from account being stolen if the user never showed up after a long period of inactivity or his password has been compromised.
Yes there is a modification software that will add 2FA in an SMF forum SMFPacks Two Factor Authentication
I don't think we need to add this, it's an additional workload for the server and we have the best option to recover the account which is staking our address, the user will be more careful with their private keys than their 2FA application in their cellphone, backup code or password.


I know of several cases of active members who were hacked (even Hero&Legendary members), but considering that there is a method of proving ownership, hacking a BTT account is one thing, and keeping it is something else entirely.
I agree 2FA cannot prove ownership, and passwords and 2FA can be compromised.

It is the best practice to stake a BTC address to add an extra layer of security but this can be risky for some users as well. Privet key of our BTC address can be compromised and we can not ignore the possibility of losing our privet keys as well. It will be an extra workload for the server but by considering the importance of the security of our bitcoin talk account, having several options to secure our account is not a bad idea as well.

buddy will cross the 100 straight 29k mark soon very soon.

There will be a reversal before that.

we are at 94 or 95 straight 29k marks.


As a miner more than anything else I can tell you 29k is very much an okay price for big miners.

So at the moment  big mining is driving price more than speculators.

It is an occasional 'thing' maybe 10 percent of the time so sooner or later the price will go back to the hands of investor/speculators.

Yeah and historically September has been red for the Bitcoin market for most of the time. It sounds crazy but i am expecting a fall towards 25k and i am happy about that. This correction could be the last one and it is good for the market.

I see us in the 2015-2016 slot or pattern.

which means we slowly drift upwards to 60-72k right before the ½ ing next year.

A sept rollback is possible but if you look at the 8-9 month slot in 2015-2016 price was good not great for mining.
So we may not get the large 10-15% rollback you predict.

Basically we look at old patterns and hope we repeat the pattern we guess.

Since I mine and hodl more then I buy and hold. I pick the older pattern I like. Reality is who knows.

It is true that historical patterns can give invaluable insight into the behavior of market movements but we need to consider that the bitcoin market has evolved a lot since the 2015-2016 cycle. Various elemental factors like regulation, institutional involvement, and technological advancement can redirect the market to a different path. I also believe that every cycle has a unique pattern though we can correlate them with the previous cycle.

32k has a strong resistance and it might be hard for the market to cross it and we have already seen it. I also agree with you about the reality that it is unexpected and full of surprises.

Trying to join the train is not trying to control the market, they are here just like everyone else, they have bigger money to invest in Bitcoin and we have what we can afford to lose, even if a companies has 50,000BTC they still won't be able to control the market, Bitcoin supply doesn't belong to one person, it's well saturated in the world, maybe you are talking about manipulation? If that's the case then it's possible but not for long, and most times manipulation doesn't work as planned, crypto market is getting stronger, if what happened to FTX happened in 2018 it would have been more disastrous..

Hmm...the problem with big companies in the Bitcoin market is they are sitting on a pile of cash that they can use to manipulate the market. Just think what MicroStrategy can do now when big giant companies like BlackRock trying to join the market. MicroStrategy can literally crash the market 40%-50% with just a single tweet. Some might say this will bring the opportunity to grab some cheap bitcoin but what about those who put high leverage? This kind of manipulation in the market damages retail investors mostly. The only gainers are centralized exchange and big institutions like MicroStrategy.
