I agree with both of you that DAI should be preferred over USDT by those who participate in money laundering. But, the question is how is DAI pegged and how is USDT pegged? Criminals want USD and not a stable coin which is not pegged 1:1 with USDT. That can be one of the reasons why they do not go for DAI and the other issue could be converting DAI to USD as USDT is available for conversion on most P2P exchanges whereas DAI is not. Another thing that came to my mind is that these are criminals who are not interested in understanding the concept of DAI. Their perception of USDT as it was the first stablecoin is that it is backed by USD and it might be the only way these criminal organizations deal in cryptocurrency.

England all wiped out on the first day for 246, except Ben Stokes none of the batters played well. He got 70 runs at a stage when England had lost 8 wickets and were struggling to reach 200. I like this all-rounder that England has, he is not only good with the bat down the order but can bowl as well. The Indian start has been good both Jaiswal and Rohit have been after the English bowling, Jaiswal is on 42 and he should reach his half-century. It doesn't look like this Indian side will miss Virat Kohli as they have a good replacement for him. Shubhman Gill has been out of touch but in this test match, he will regain his lost form back. To date, he has the best timing when he places the ball which is why it goes to the boundary in a zip.

Paxful also has mandatory KYC apart from the three you mentioned. There are only a few centralized exchanges left that still allow trading without KYC.


I am not sure about Phemex since I have heard this name for the first time. P2P scams are not due to exchanges but happen if you trade with a relatively new merchant listed on these platforms. If you are doing a P2P trade on any centralized exchange ensure that you do with a merchant who has a reputation and has made a significant amount of trade.

Like TheUltraElite said Cloud mining is just a Ponzi scheme and everyone should avoid it. I have not dug deep into it, as I believe it is nothing but a way to scam people and make it look like anyone can mine without investing money and without having technical knowledge. The fact is if you do not have the technical knowledge and still have the money to invest in mining equipment you won't be able to mine. It is not something you can do by learning on YouTube or following a book. A miner should be aware of the hardware device and should know the coding.

All of the cloud mining is nothing but a way to scam people and rotate the fee within the users until they are out of it. The scammer who is selling cloud mining keeps a big chunk of the money that the user pays and passes on the smaller amount as long as he can. I remember there was a time when a few cryptocurrencies were released that were offering the mobile mining concept. Most of them later on left abruptly and a few kept going but never listed their coins on the exchange.

I am not interested in clicking the link and still, I am certain he came up with a cloud-mining company. This news is a trade mark example as to how cloud mining companies work.


He is the bigger fish or he may not be looking at his age, but one thing I am sure of is that he trusted some young guys who are responsible for his problem. Grandpa will not rot in a cell till he dies and goes somewhere. It is quite bad as I feel he was the name and identity for those who committed the crime, as I cannot expect my elders to handle their smart phone properly.

Best for what? Investment or Privacy be clear about it next time.

If you are looking for investment purposes then it should be Monero, because it has the potential to grow and is always paired with Bitcoin. Another benefit of investing in Morero is staking, it is not as easy anymore as it used to be when it got listed the first time on an exchange. Accumulating more whenever the market is in red will help anyone reach the goal of earning the staking reward.

If you are looking for complete privacy then Monero has proven it is the best. All other coins you have listed came after Monero and you can call it the father of privacy coin. A lot of users who are active in the forum use it to hide their Bitcoin transaction trace, which I would consider a is a good habit in the current environment we are living today.

$75 repayment towards the existing loan has been made. Please check and please confirm that you have received it. Thanks.

Rajat Patidar would has been selected as a replacement of Virat Kohli. It is uncertain whether he will be part of the team that will play tomorrow against England. He made is debut last year when he was part of the ODI team and I would say his performance was okay.

BTW, Shubhman Gill got the Polly Umrigar Award for Best International cricketer for 2022- 2023, he was really good before he got dengue. The same award was given to Virat Kohli in 2014 when he was only 14 year old. He did mentioned on his x.com handle about it as he was present at the award show at that time.

Already the Indian community is facing issues because of the decision by the Indian government to ban urls of prominent International exchanges. Now, this scamming shit, what low can scammers stoop too is being evident with such scams. I sometimes feel how intelligent these scammers are as they come up with scams which none of us could think about. If these guys had used their brain for the right thing then they would have made more money and would have been treated like celebrities. Unfortunately the harsh reality is that scammers won't stop to scam innocent people and day by day they are getting better with new tools that were created for the betterment of the internet society.

This is normal as we know Bitcoin is known for its volatility, it is the best time for accumulation and it is the best time to invest in altcoins. As you said it has gone down by 10 percent which is normal with Bitcoin, if you did not know the price of BTC in January of 2018 fell from $21000 to $3000. Now do your math and you will know how big the price fall was in percentage. What we are seeing is normal before halving as institutional investors love a lower entry price point for Bitcoin and it has been happening before halving.

Grayscale sold Bitcoin would now be bought by BlackRock and other institutions that have got their ETFs approved. I mentioned BlackRock because their demands are far higher than others who got their ETF approved. BTW, Indians can invest in Bitcoin ETFs, there is a way to do it but, why anyone would do it as investing in an ETF won't give anyone Satoshis as they will get a paper on behalf of the financial institution.

I have been using free Grammarly for quite some time now and it corrects my spelling, does help me with grammar, and sometimes removes unwanted words from a sentence. They recently came up with another free product which is called Rewrite with Grammerly, it will only help if used to improve a paragraph or a sentence and helps with ideas to write a topic. As you are suggesting Grammarly I would like to ask you, If rewrite is used will it be considered AI written content?

To understand a signature campaign you need to first understand the ranking structure of the forum. Your rank at the moment is Jr. Member and for any users to participate in a signature campaign they need to be Full Member. There are a few signature campaigns that sometimes onboard users who have Member rank. For any user to rank up they first need to focus on learning about Bitcoin and altcoins and building up the account reputation. Another important thing that you should know is that not every high ranking user gets selected for a signature campaign, a lot depends on the posting quality and posting habits of the user.

Twitter is now not what it used to be before it became x.com, it is only good for tolling. I would say use Reddit, tiktok, a blogging platform, Youtube, and our forum (signature campaign) for promoting your project. Create a bounty campaign in the forum and use the mentioned platforms to promote your project. Run the campaign initially for 4 weeks and then evaluate the results. If your project is unique and solves natural world issues it will be a hit in the first 4 weeks. Depending on the result you can then extend it to a few more weeks.

XMR is not stable and is not pegged to the global currency which is USD that is why USDT is being used for illicit activities. Tether can freeze USDT only when authorities report it. Without any reporting, they don't freeze USDT and those criminals who are into money laundering are not some small-time thugs. They know that Tether provides greater anonymity than Fiat, has far lesser transaction fees than Fiat, and is easy to use. As the UN is the mouthpiece of five countries I am assuming money laundering using USDT has grown in those five countries. Globally USD is still a preferred way of laundering money and financing terrorism.

I don't know because when it happened, I quickly switched over to Airtel. I got the default message the website cannot be accessed.


I think so that crypto casino is out of their radar, still the ways things are shaping for crypto in India they will go after them in the future.

A great improvement from 2022 can be seen in 2023 and I am not suprised about it. In 2024 I have something planned to make this year better than 2023. I need all of you and in particular 10 of you to be more active than you are now. There would be more contest that I have planned exclusively for Indian members and with halving approaching I feel the numbers should increase. Conditions are not that friendly as they were in 2021 but people are till to date are crazy about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I am hopeful that we would be one of the top contributors in the forum for 2024.
 

Good to see @JSRAW being active on the local board and it does help us brother. My one point as to which player would be part of the T20WC is to wait for the IPL to complete and not rush to the conclusion now. There would be some new names on the team and there would be some old names, we won't know it now. IPL is where the selectors have started focusing before Ranji and other domestic cricket. Who will get selected is another thing, who will not get selected is something we would need to focus on.

I do not think Rohit or Virat will be part of the squad. You cannot forget their batting in the past T20WC only because they played well in the ODIWC. I do not think KL Rahul is suitable for the T20 format but I cannot omit that he is the captain of one of the franchise teams. I do not know what is the situation with Hardik or Panth and  Sanju Samson what I know is that they have to do their best in the upcoming IPL to be part of the team. The selectors will be only looking at the IPL as it is a 90 days league and it will show the true form of a player.

Has anyone tried accessing Stake.com while using JIO? This is something I recently found out - I was surprised that Mukesh Ambani would go to such lengths. I was trying to place a bet yesterday on the South African T20 league, earlier I had switched to JIO as the network of my Airtel connection was not that good. I without checking which network provider I was using I went ahead to access Stake. Unfortunately, it did not open and it gave a weird message to which I got confused. I tried a few times and eventually, I gave up and then shifted to Airtel and it worked. Today before writing this post I saw that I was able to get access to the site. Has anyone else faced the same issue if yes then is it something happening continuously?

If you have not faced such an issue then why the government is encouraging gambling and betting with cryptocurrency? Why not apply AML policy against these casinos which are known for money laundering? I sometimes feel that this government is only concerned about its tax collection and not concerned about the middle class which is being squeezed to its lowest level.

How can you be surprised and at the same time concerned about signature campaign payment? I do not understand what you meant by being here from 2022 you should be aware of the ranks and how the signature campaign plays an important role in keeping the forum alive and not deserted.


Signature campaigns are nothing but marketing campaigns as Bitcointalk is the forum for Bitcoin holders these campaigns are run to promote a product that uses Bitcoin for revenue generation. Not all the revenue comes from Bitcoin for the project, whereas a majority comes from it.



As I have mentioned earlier it falls under marketing expense. Ranked up is not that easy to get on Bitcointalk and that is why a higher rank member gets paid more than a lower one. Do not go into the calculation as to how much a campaign is paying in total to all its members. There was a time when the total amount might compete with a big company's advertisement revenue.


If you are part of a signature campaign then it your earning and no one would ask you to refund it. Unless you have been paid extra accidentally or you were not supposed to get paid.

Hello mate! I do not have any grudge against you and neither I am attacking you or your thread. What I have written earlier is what I noticed and checked with your past posting. What I still do not understand is why are creating a topic that is not your forte, what I do understand is that you are not happy about Bitcoin ETFs. My question to you is can you stop them? Next, Hongkong will be coming out with a Bitcoin ETF again my question to you is can you stop them?


Buying Bitcoin ETF does not mean that those buying are getting Satoshi, they are only subscribing to paperwork and they won't get anything. Depending on how Bitcoin performs they would be earning USD and nothing else. Where did you come up with the theory of centralization of Bitcoin? Wherein Bitcoin itself is decentralized as you do not have an understanding of what is exactly Bitcoin ETF means in the practical sense. Let me explain to you what is happening and why it is happening.

Financial institutions were against Bitcoin from the day it got hyped after 2017. They were always negative about it as they felt the threat and knew it would destroy their ongoing scam of fiat currency. To stop that they tried their level best by creating a negative image of Bitcoin before the pandemic. Post-pandemic everyone knew why Bitcoin was good for them and that was one of the reasons apart from institutional investors a lot of money came from personal investors.

These guys as in the financial institution in 2022 understood, how much profit they could generate for themselves if Bitcoin could be made a legal investment option. That is why they came up with ETFs and you cannot stop them, but you can only smile at them as they are now going to buy Bitcoin from the market and eventually promote Bitcoin through their investment and advertisements on Bitcoin.
