Your post history consist of 1-3 liner generic campaign manager type of posts, why would anyone hire you other than yourself? Lol

I can think of a million reasons why I would hire Hhampuz over this guy:

A deranged troll signature, avatar, personal message for rent!

You obviously are not able to see that as he manages many campaigns, he creates the OP and every time he writes a 1-3 liner to say that payments have been made for example the thread gets bumped and his OP, which is what people who visit it the first time see, as well. That is very good exposure for advertisers and not as a simple 1 liner on page 34 of a generic thread in Bitcoin Discussion or Gambling.

You don't see that any more than you see that for an advertiser it is very good to hire the second most trusted account on the forum, with 120 positive feedbacks.

I rather think you are jealous.

How is the currency of Iran so low though? Aren't they an oil country?

It's not so much what they have as what they do with it. The country with the most reserves in the world is Venezuela:

https://www.worldometers.info/oil/oil-reserves-by-country/

But if you have a shitty policy that attacks business, expels talent, suffocates private initiative with taxes and gives subsidies to people for not working, which you finance by printing money at a much faster speed than the dollar or the euro, in the end what you have is a shitty country where there has been a mass exodus by the millions, where the population is starving, and in the top of the most dangerous in the world among those where there is no war. But politicians keep criticizing the US and the dollar, as if theirs were much better.

In this case I am talking about Venezuela, because I am not so familiar with the situation in Iran, but I am sure that some of the exposed applies to Iran as well.
603  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the high fee affecting the rate of adoption of Bitcoin? on: January 05, 2024, 06:18:19 AM
Curious that you open this thread when there has been a considerable drop in fees, needing only about 50 sat/vByte for quick confirmation. It would make more sense when they were at 200.

I don't think this episode is going to affect Bitcoin adoption because I don't think it's going to be used to pay for coffees. It is going to be used, as it is already being used, as a store of value and to make payments of certain amounts. If fees, regardless of the recent spam problem, tend to go up over time, the average amount of payments on the blockchain will also tend to go up.
604  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Are Coinbase now immortal? on: January 05, 2024, 06:12:04 AM
Istria with Terra may repeat itself. 5.1% is not 20% per annum, but it is a very large profit that no bank in the US gives on deposits.

This is not true. I just searched for "interest for deposits in US banks" and in less than a minute I found this:

https://www.depositaccounts.com/savings/

where you find a lot of options between 4.35% and 5.50% APY.

Considering that the FED gives 5.5% is not so far-fetched either, simply by doing arbitrage Coinbase would earn 0.4%.
605  Economy / Reputation / Re: Timelord2067, can you clarify please before I post a flag on you? on: January 05, 2024, 06:04:55 AM
~snip

Among so much nonsense it is not clear to me if in the end you are going to make a fool of yourself by creating a flag against Timelord2067 in the same way you have made a fool of yourself by creating one against icopress. I already told you that praying doesn't work for things in this life, maybe it works for the next one, but until we don't pass away we can't know.

Timelord2067 has questionable behaviors and in fact I have him on ignore, but there are several people in the forum who have made economic deals with him and left positive feedback for it, so a flag, which has to be created for economic reasons and not for issues of use of the trust system, looks pretty ridiculous too.
606  Economy / Reputation / Re: What is going on??? on: January 05, 2024, 05:55:52 AM
I don't think it is due to a generalized problem, considering that the first case occurred six months ago, the second one a month ago and the third one yesterday. And even more so if we question any of the three stories. As you have been told repeatedly, by asking for a signed message you avoid problems, and as I see you already did yesterday in the case of ryzaadit.
607  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I see many users talk about trading but does anyone here actually trading? on: January 04, 2024, 06:22:58 AM
In my case I have never done intraday trading, but that is not the only type of trading. I have done medium term trading, buying to sell after weeks or months, and I was lucky with it. But in the end the simplest and least risky thing to do is to buy premium assets and invest for the long term. It is a very safe way to earn wealth without complication.
608  Economy / Economics / Re: Habits that can lead to your financial failure in 2024 on: January 04, 2024, 06:16:16 AM
More than 90% of the financial problems people have are due to two reasons: buying a house beyond their means, buying a car beyond their means, or both. It can also be summarized in that the main problem is spending more than you earn, and buying houses or cars beyond your means leads to this.

The rest of the tips are not bad, but they do not address the main issue.
609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: January 04, 2024, 05:28:42 AM
It's not magical, it's psychological.

This is the key. They know they shouldn't keep betting, but a kind of compulsion drives them to do so. As for what the OP asks where they get the money to keep doing it, there are many ways, savings, quick loans, credit cards, selling things. All to keep fueling their addiction. In this they are not much different from a drug addict, the most notable difference being that they do not consume a substance, it is the brain that secretes it.
610  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Inverse Cramer Strikes Again on: January 04, 2024, 05:14:17 AM
There are many more examples. I remember when I was still buying individual stocks talking about how well AT&T was doing and how safe the dividend was, shortly before the board of directors announced the dividend cut (after 35 years of consecutive raises). After that he went on a rant against the board, logically. Funny how a guy with so many failed predictions is so popular. That's probably why there are a lot of people who enjoy watching him.
611  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: EU Banking Watchdog to Deepen Probe of Links Between Banks, Crypto Entities on: January 04, 2024, 05:07:04 AM
Well, on the one hand, this seems normal to me, the EBA is dedicated to monitoring both banking institutions and financial institutions of other types, which are not banks. Those that deal with cryptocurrencies fall into this second type, so it is to be expected. But on the other hand, we see how they want to act as a control mechanism, anti-privacy, with the excuse of preventing money laundering:

Quote
The EBA has already taken some action to address the role crypto may play in stressing the system. In November, it published draft rules on liquidity and capital requirements for stablecoin issuers in line with the EU's new Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation. It has also proposed rules that would see individuals with stakes of more than 10% in a crypto company vetted for convictions or sanctions and told crypto companies to watch for customers using privacy coins or self-hosted wallets to spot potential money laundering.

So by handling your currencies with your passwords from your HW, you will be suspected by default of money laundering.

Morons.

Please do note, I am not claiming either of them to be scammers, I just want them blacklisted from DT election for good, otherwise I have nothing against their livelihood.

Okay, so unsurprisingly, you haven't figured out how the trust system works, otherwise you wouldn't be creating flags to prevent certain people from being in DT.

As a matter of fact, icopress offered me a spot on a campaign, if I was a shady person, I would have moved my tail for him and sneaked into one of his managed campaigns by sucking up to him. This case has a great potential, 6-7 figures kind of potential, and that is where I come in...

And then you woke up.
613  Other / Archival / Re: Generational wealth on: January 03, 2024, 05:49:27 AM
What would be your advice for a pharmacist hoping to create generational wealth in the pharmaceutical industry

It is no different than creating generational wealth if you work in other sectors. It's simply a matter of spending less than you earn over your lifetime and investing the rest, building wealth for your children to inherit. If it is large enough, it can be inherited by your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In the case of a pharmacist, it is no different than in other sectors, perhaps because he or she will be better paid than other jobs, such as unskilled ones, and worse paid than others. But it also depends on the particular situation because it is not the same to be a pharmacist working for others as it is to have three pharmacies that go from strength to strength and to be planning to open others, so that the wealth that you are building is becoming quite similar to generational wealth.
614  Economy / Economics / Re: And the most worthless fiat currency of 2023 was: The Iranian Rial! on: January 03, 2024, 05:39:28 AM
Lately I've been having a lot of fun reading things on the forum.  Grin

Also, let's guess what happens in these countries where the leaders talk bad about the dollar and want to ditch it. That they sure have a lot of dollars stashed away to protect themselves from the devaluation of the local currency. Do as I say but not as I do.

We have seen this in other threads on similar topics. As much as we complain about the devaluation of currencies like the dollar or euro, around the world most currencies devalue even more than they do, and some catastrophically, as in this case.

Since I have posted a type 1 flag on icopress,

I don't know what you're wasting your time for. But at least now you don't get paid for bullshitting.

Yes, yes, I know icopress is literally the hand that is feeding most of the DT members, and since they don't believe that God is the one providing for all, they won't support this case.

Some of us believe that God has no influence in the world of the living, in any case he could have set the initial rules so that everything would work and wait for us after death but no matter how much you pray to him you are not going to get people to listen to your bullshit.

And I love being hated for telling the truth, it works as incentive that I'm on the right path.

Some of us don't hate you, in fact we laugh a lot at your bullshit.

What compelled you to do this in the first place? If its not simple trolling, then I really don't understand.

Be careful, lest a right to honor lawsuit be filed against you.

616  Economy / Economics / Re: The steps to follow in creating a budget on: January 02, 2024, 08:20:10 AM
I would like to see some apps can help with this. I am of the opinion that if you write down your budget on a piece of paper, you take it more seriously than when it is on an app. With a paper budget or in a spreadsheet, you can easily see it without distraction but on a app, the ads and in-app purchases that comes with it will be too distracting. Also, it is easier to write a budget when you live in a country without a high inflation rate or one facing recession.

Apps? I personally use Excel, as I think most people do. The budget is best done sitting on your computer but if you are looking for apps to do it with your mobile, there are plenty. There are also some that track expenses if you pay with debit or credit cards but I use cash as much as I can, so I don't use them.
617  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC unconfirmed transactions exceed 500k on mempool on: January 02, 2024, 08:14:47 AM
I'm not going to make payments of those amounts as long as the fees continue to be that high.
And the question is: How long can we continue to wait for the fees to go down?

Did you get what I wrote? We will have to wait as long as it takes, what I personally am not going to do is pay $20 in fees to send $40. With high fees what I will do is use the Bitcoin to make larger payments, so that the fee percentage is not too high, and for small payments I will use something else or not make them at all.
618  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Achieving a goal on: January 02, 2024, 08:08:35 AM
Basically, I have around 25$k to invest, and I really want to hit least 200K$ by the end of this year.

What you have to do is forget about that figure because all indications are that you are going to lose that $25K if you try.

Also, take note that you pretty much want a 4x in a single year here.

He wants a 8x, not 4x. That's 800% profitability in a year. Apart from having a lot of knowledge and control of emotions, you would have to have luck on your side as well to get that return, and the OP makes it clear that he doesn't have the first two.

Why not just invest in bitcoin?

It's the best he can do.
619  Economy / Reputation / Re: Ratimov sold his account on: January 02, 2024, 07:44:33 AM
if he ever decides to recover the account, he would need concrete evidence to prove his identity in order to get the account back.
The easiest way would be to sign a staked address, which he deleted.

Why would he want to do that? To prove that he is the same madman who ruined a premium account, top 5 in merit earned, in record time? If he wants to come back to the forum the most logical thing to do would be with another account, if he doesn't have one already.
620  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rollercoaster of emotions. How to deal with? on: January 02, 2024, 06:28:05 AM
What you can't do is start investing in Bitcoin without a wealth building plan and make the mistakes that many people make, such as investing money that they may need in the short or medium term and having to sell in a market downturn because they need the money at that moment.

Worry about controlling income and expenses and make sure you can save each month. Then save an emergency fund and get rid of consumer debt. That's when you can safely start investing in Bitcoin and you will be less affected by market swings because you will have more financial peace of mind.
