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.
586  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.

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
589  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.

It's interesting to see how things quickly change, isn't it? My guess is that probably the governments realized since the beginning how powerful bitcoin was, and they also understood that it would be extremely hard for them to limit/control it, so they tried everything in order to make it look bad but, fortunately for us, the bitcoin community was stronger than the FUD, and at that point BTC was something already too big to be contained by the governments.

It is not about the government. They are still considering the crypto industry as a threat. They now realize that they can not control the bitcoin market for its decentralized nature so they want to put regulation. They might think it's easy to float with the waves is better than trying to stop it. The big institution is trying to get into the market first so that they can attract most of the liquid.
595  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you have any methods to do it? on: August 12, 2023, 08:03:38 PM
I have funds to start with and i saw there are people who are earning a good amount of money from spot trading. Forget about day trading, is that even possible to generate 100$ weekly from spot trading with minimal risk?
Spot trading is one of the trades that is often used and utilized by many crypto trading circles. Spot trading is only aimed at and focuses on falling and rising prices. My current assessment is the spot trading method, maybe you can just choose Bitcoin, if you want to earn well, $ 100 or more in a matter of weeks, I think you can easily get it, if you have 1-2 Bitcoin capital.

For example:
The price of Bitcoin on August 9, Bitcoin is trading at the lowest price of $ 29,376.80 within 24 hours Bitcoin has risen to a level of $ 29,561.49, so here you will definitely get a profit of $ 184, that is if you have 1 BTC in funds.

OP, if you want to see the process: Data historis Bitcoin., you can see it, it will accompany your spot trading process by days and weeks.

But the risk and reward ratio is significantly higher in this case. Is this really worth investing 30k for 100$ profit in one week? If it was like there isn't any possibility of taking a loss then we can consider this method. I think 30k worth of assets will bring more than 100$ in a week if I stake it in maker dao or some other reputable platform. Perhaps grid trading will be better to achieve this goal.

I never thought of that maybe I was thinking password is only limited to 8 to 12 characters,  though you are right I don't see any reason of constantly changing password if someone already choose a solid one that could not be easily accessible by someone.
I do have that kind of passwords, a combination of familiar words and numbers but not random characters coz it's way too difficult to remember, you will end up resetting your password again lmao.

Also you will always be reliaon copy pasting the exact password since it's very hard to memorize random characters and symbols password. My iphone has a feature that automatically suggest a strong password on all my registrations. It is consist of so many random symbol and letter which is very hard to memorize.

I'm always skipping it because I will be reliant to my phone to access my account while it will give me a problem later on once my phone got broken.

I think most of the phone now has these features. Even when you are going to sign up for a website sometimes google suggest a random password that contains mostly symbol and numbers. Many people nowadays use Keepass to keep their passwords safe so that they do not need to remember them in their next log-in. This is the easy way but sometimes these 3rd party service shows vulnerability.

So you can be right, there is a chance that this user uses AI. But these proofs are not enough for me for leaving a tag. Too short text, too few overlaps. If there are no multiple texts in a row from him with the same results, I'd prefer to wait for more data.

Is that possible that the use of Grammarly makes this post sounds AI-generated? If this is the case then I will stop using grammarly from now on.

What's the verdict on this one?
Bitcointalk is a well-known forum in the crypto industry where being a reputable member is like a dream for many. There are some security measures that can be taken to protect your bitcoin talk account from being stolen or hacked. A user can add secret questions, and stake their BTC address in the forum to protect their account. Despite this sometimes accounts got hacked and are taken by hackers.
It's partially incorrect and sounds very much like chat AI spam/plagiarism.

This can be partially incorrect but i haven't use any kind of tools to wrote it nor i copy it from somewhere. I only use Grammarly to fix some minor grammar mistake. I am not sure why you think this is a chat AI spam or plagiarism!! You can check my old post too i have never been accused of using AI tools.

Go quick!  There are 100 free tx accelerations per hour
https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator

 edit: hmmm... I guess ViaBTC isn't one of the top miners these days but still free is free
https://www.viabtc.com/statistics


They just rebroadcast old transactions AFAIK... Won't help. I'm waiting for new blocks to be mined. Thanks anyway.

 No, they include 100 tx per hour into the next block they mine provided they meet certain conditions.

FREE Submission
ViaBTC will prioritize your transactions and include them in the next block we mine, provided the volume of this transaction must be ≤0.5 KB, and the transaction fee rate must be ≥ 0.0001 BTC/KB.

 I've used it many times.

It works fine most of the time. One of the fastest ways to mine your transaction faster. Just keep an eye in their terms and conditions incase they have updated it recently.
