I stopped telling people about Bitcoin a long time ago. Everyone around me is already knowledgeable enough, there are even very good traders. They know everything.
They have everything available to start without needs to talk in person, learn in person with you or anyone else. They can learn with free courses, online articles, blog posts if they are ready to learn about Bitcoin and trading. When they need to ask senior experienced people, they will find you and bring questions to you. If they don't spend time to learn with available resources, they are not interested in Bitcoin and surely if you proactively talk to them about it, they will skip it instantly. There are many who see Bitcoin as gambling or risky stock market. Instead of getting into a Bitcoin discussion with people like this, I just nod and move on.
This way you will be able to use your time and energy for more meaningful conversation with people who want to learn and proactively knock your doors for help. |

I also believe in bitcoin's future upside potential but please don't say that investing in bitcoin is risk-free. The higher the return, the higher the risk, they are always proportional, so never make misleading statements to others when you have no proof for what you say.
They see risk in Bitcoin and did not invest in Bitcoin years ago when Bitcoin was like a newborn and vulnerable to death. Now when they feel regret about their missing chances, they look for other opportunities. What do they find? Altcoins are their destinations but they see high chances with them and unfortunately ignore high risk with them. At the end, they lost with altcoins and still miss Bitcoin and their missing chances in past years. Huge emphasis on if. If everyone simply did that then all these people wouldn't have got burned in the past bull-bear cycles. But alas, most people are simply not fit for investing.
If everyone can be an intelligent investor and succeed with their investment, who will pay them money for profit? The market is zero sum game so money will change from losers to winners. If we all are winners, is it realistic? There must be losers who pay the cost, the profit for winners. |

It's about time for PSG to solely concentrate on the positive side of things in the coming season; there's always opportunity for development and succession. The club's new manager, Luis Enrique, has effective objectives for the club; I just hope he utilizes full advantage of the best opportunities for his players next season.
They already had a new coach, Enrique and they can start to plan for a new season. With their strong statement and activity to put Mbappe on the transfer market, they are clear with their plan for a new season. They are ready to move forwards without their biggest star player and short term, they will have shocks but in long term, they will become a better team. PSG's loss of most of their most important players; what counts is their ability to stand out and become stronger than before. Losing a player like Leo Messi, in the first place, they were aiming for bigger trophies, so his absence won't be felt.
A team that plays together to serve a single star player is something wrong and it won't make they are a stronger team but in fact, become a weaker team. Historically we have some average teams won big titles like Porto in Champions League 2003 - 2004, Greece in Euro 2004 and lately we had Morocco in World Cup 2022 when they went to semi finals. PSG must look at history, those successful stories and build up an united squad that play together, support each other for success of a whole squad. |

Hello. I am interested in learning about "The blocksize war".
I have been in Bitcoin since 2020, and therefore, I don't know the history before 2020. I know that it was a "debate" regarding the block size, but I want to read details about it.
I can google it, but I don't know who to trust. So, knowing that there are many knowledgeable people in this forum, could you tell me more about this period?
Of course, any relevant website, video, article is more than welcome.
You have not been in this space back in days of Blocksize war and Hashrate war so you can study about them backwards. Start from today, you will discover that most of forked coins from those wars now are dead coins. Explore these wars and their consequent forks with How many Bitcoin forks are thereA biggest Bitcoin fork in history is Bitcoin Cash (BCH). They tried to scam Bitcoin community and investors but a few years later, that blockchain network has considerable drop in hashrate and its value can not catch BTC value. See Historical hashrate chart for BTC and BCH, make your conclusion. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/hashrate-btc-bch.html#alltimeTheir forum is dead too https://forum.bitcoin.com/

This is a great question Lucius, IMO It would need to be a completely autonomous program, maybe kind of like the Khan Academy but specifically for crypto. It should not be free though, but charge some small nominal fee to gain access, like a Wikipedia on steroids but for crypto.
There are many free resources to learn about Bitcoin so do you think paid courses will be better and provide more comprehensive knowledge for learners? Learnmeabitcoin.com from Beginners to Advanced levels. Saylor Academy - Bitcoin for everybodySaylor Academy - Bitcoin for developersJameson Lopp blogMaybe could even be a group effort to make this a reality where everyone contributed and the content sticks based on merits or votes from experts/devs etc. AI can help create the videos that explain and lessons that teach entry, mid, and advanced levels.
There are enough free resources and tech gurus in communities to help them learning. If they want to debut their learning, they can do it anytime. |

If I am using Electrum for lightning payment, is it your coin? The reason I asked is because they said not your node not your coin. I want to know how true it is.
By doing this with Electrum wallet, you still own your coin because you have its mnemonic seed, you control your coin, not Lightning network channel and node. If you only use it for receiving, no worry because you don't lose anything by waiting for a transaction from others. Running a node with Lightning Network is not profitable and you should only do this if you are about your privacy, and definitely don't care about profit or cost. Bitcoin Lightning Network walkthrough. |

These tips are only helpful if you can use them the right way, but you need to study first and educate yourself on these tips before going into live trading.
Before you trade, you must learn about trading, fundamental and technical analysis but you need more. Before you start trading, make sure you are not going to use 100% of your capital to trade. Because as a new trader, most likely you will lose your capital. If you don't use 100% of your capital to trade, you will have rest capital to trade again. However, experience is still the best tip to win your trades. It’s only useless learning all these OP’s tips without putting them in action. That’s why regardless of your first and consistent losses as a beginner, you need to experience trading most often as that’s the only way to be more skillful in this kind of craft.
Experience is important to test your trading knowledge and understanding, to test your emotional control ability and to test your capital and risk management. First and most important, manage your capital well and make sure you use very little capital to start. You have a point mate. It does not matter how many trading tips you have in trading, the important thing is you have to study and learn about them so you can successfully apply whenever you decide to trade. Trading is hard and certainly risky, that’s why everything should be learned the hard way and everyone should follow its process as there’s no shortcut to success in trading.
To succeed in trading, there are more challenges than to succeed in investment. You will have to pay many cost in trading, trading fees are unavoidable but bigger cost is your failed trading positions. To reduce risk of losing all or most of your initial capital quickly, don't use leverages. No shortcut to success in trading but many shortcuts to bankruptcy and lose all your capital. |

💻 Experience the all-new website layout at vbetFTN 💻  Dear community, We're super excited to be releasing the new layout that we've been actively working on for the last couple of months. Finally, it's already live and accessible for all the users online at vbetFTN.com I like the new layout from vBetFTN team. It is more user friendly than the previous layout. I feel that if possible, the team can highlight each term, question (like in FAQ), with the main color of the website, that is pink. Currently these texts are in bold but I think if we can color it, that is better. Colors bring better effects than bold. |

Because they are only taught about CEX and how they can be useful in buying and selling their coins, but they were not open on the possibilities that any time of the day, their coins will just vanish like a thin air when everything in CEX gets into troubled or compromised. And that they are closed to the idea that decentralized exchanges also exist, and that they are more reliable when leaving coins even in an indefinite time.
It's not only because they were only taught about CEXs. I am sure there are people who don't know about DEXs so they only know about CEXs and use CEXs. In opposite, there are other people who were taught about both CEXs and DEXs and even more about custodial wallets and self-custodial wallets. With them, it's only their choices to use CEXs and custodial wallets. Because they look for convenience, not for security. We should not forget that it is never easy for a beginner to understand the basics of privacy provided by the blockchain when his first goal is to make a profit, nothing more. They surely must learn and practice gradually and I agree with you that it is not terrible if they started with CEXs or custodial wallets. If they can learn and practice better for their security, for their funds and change to use DEXs and self custodial wallets, it is good for them. |

PSG already accepted an offer from al ahli. The result from this transfer will actually depend on how the outcome from the deal between mbappe and al ahli. Mbappe and al ahli shall ahve reached personal agreement to make this transfer happen.
PSG accepted that offer but it is not enough to complete the deal between two clubs. Because they both need to get an agreement from Mbappe and so far no agreement fro the player. No statement has been coming from mbappe. So many parties were pros and cons to mbappe and his attitude. Mbappe shall define his future as soon as possible. It's caused by al hilal's offer was the only one that has ever existed in the world of football.
No confirmation from Mbappe offcially but rumor is the player does not want to move to Saudi even the offering salary is very generous. Does Mbappe wait for a better salary offer from Al Ahli? It's a world record offer for him. Mbappe can also leave to the madrid as a free agent after the contract with al hilal gonna end. It's a win win situation for mbappe and PSG at this moment.
Ah Ahli is very generous with the salary offer to Mbappe and they try to make it more attractive by including a term in a proposed contract which allows Mbappe to sign with Real Madrid as a free player next summer. It will be win-win deal for all three sides, PSG, Ah Ahli and Mbappe if it is completed. If Cristiano Ronaldo is a first super star player joined Saudi Professional League but he is old enough and is counting down his last seasons in his career, Mbappe will be a young super star player who join them. He will put a first brick for other young super star players to join Saudi Professional League next years. |

Firstly, the Tottenham management is trying their best to keep Harry Kane in the squad. That's why they are demanding a huge amount for Harry Kane. Tottenham would benefit financially if someone were to pay that much to buy Kane. Also, if any club is not interested in signing Kane due to Harry Kane's high price tag, Tottenham will benefit as they do not have to lose the best player in the squad.
Tottenham try to keep Harry Kane if they don't receive $100M offer from any club. Because the offer from Bayern, about $65M is not attractive with Tottenham because if Tottenham ends a next season in top five, they will get a chance to play in Champions League next two seasons, that will help them to gain about $60M. They have belief that if they keep Kane, they will be able to end in top five so they see no reason to let him go if they only receive a similar money from his transfer. However, Bayern Munich managers are likely to be determined to sign Kane. They are well aware that they will not get many goals from Sadio Mane. They definitely need a suitable replacement for Lewandowski next season. For this, Harry Kane is the best choice at the moment.
Bayern Munich did not spent too big money to buy Sadio Mane from Liverpool and they can add Mane to the offer for Kane and Tottenham. $60M and Mane sounds good for Tottenham but so far, Bayern Munich have yet considered that option. There is no league that Kane cannot play in,he has been a regular scorer in the EPL,he is always the highest or the second highest scorer in the premier league
It is a theory only. Harry Kane is a good striker but it does not guarantee that he will be able to play well in all big leagues. We saw many star players failed when they moved from one league to another when they passed their 30s. I believe Kane can play well if he moves to Bayern Munich and Bundesliga but the risk that he will lose himself is real and I can not exclude it. |

First, don't buy old wallet files and try to crack them. They are all from scammers, infected files, not real wallet files. Your computers will be infected if you try to open those files and crack them. Worse if you store your Bitcoin wallets in that computer, it will be accessed by scammers and they will steal your bitcoin.
Second, if you want to test your method and computation power to crack a Bitcoin wallet, why don't you create a new and empty wallet by yourself and assume you don't know anything about it. Try to crack and find that wallet by yourself too.
If you can crack your self-created wallet, you can test more as it seems your method and computation power is good and enough to crack Bitcoin wallets.

Bitcoin is an attractive option for money launders primarily because laundering money using cryptocurrencies is easier than other methods. In movies, criminals often transport illicit money across borders using duffel bags or suitcases to evade authorities; however you can trade with dirty bitcoin beacuse more sallers of dirty bitcoin take only 60 percent of full order price
more about dirty bitcoin and how to raise money on that in my tg @ malfa1teur
What is your definition for dirty bitcoin? One Bitcoin transaction is made up of inputs and outputs and are you sure that bitcoins you own in your wallets are not dirty? If initially your bitcoins are clean, but I doubt it, and you send it to centralized exchanges, trade there or just deposit and leave it there, then withdrawal, you will receive bitcoins from other UTXOs which are not sure to be clean or dirty. Money laundering is everywhere and can be done by any means from fiat currency through digital bank transfer, cash, other means like gold, diamond and don't assume it only can be done with Bitcoin transactions. Forget your belief that you can know and get clean or dirty bitcoins. It is non sense and you can not have any practice to make sure your coins are clean or dirty. |

Why a barcode instead of a QR code?
I have read that barcodes have limited data capacity and can typically store a small amount of information, such as product identification numbers not like QR codes have a much larger data capacity than barcodes. They can store various types of data, such as alphanumeric characters, binary data, and even hyperlinks.
IMO, the QR code has more advantages than the barcode.
Though both barcodes and QR codes serve as machine-readable data representations still they are possible risks just like QR codes that can be used to link to URLs or execute certain actions when scanned. Possibly this can be exploited by malicious scammers to direct users to phishing websites or it could direct malware infected on their devices.
As a payment, it's good for me a manual copy of the sending address.
Do I miss that with Bitcoin, we can make a transaction by a public address to receive bitcoin or with a QR code, but not with a bar code ? Honestly I have never heard about using a bar code for a Bitcoin transaction. From Bitcoin Core to Electrum wallet, I only see QR codes. How to use the Electrum wallet receive tab. Bitcoin Core wallet, use QR code |

Admittedly, last season Dortmund's mentality could only reach runners-up in the Bundesliga, even though the title was right before their eyes, but they failed in the last match against Mainz. I agree with you, this is because many Dortmund players are sold just to get money and not a few Dortmund players are sold instead to opposing teams like Bayer Munchen. So do not be surprised if Bayer Munich's domination in the Bundesliga is difficult to be broken by other clubs, including Dortmund.
In the last season, Dortmund did not prepare to be the champion. They were not ready to compete with Bayern Munich after selling Haaland to Manchester City. When they suddenly got big chance because Bayern Munich suddenly got a worse season, they were not ready to convert it to a title. Many other clubs got a same chance like Dortmund but failed to beat Bayern Munich too. Whatever the drama of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich is still the champion. This gives the impression that the Bundesliga is no longer attractive to overly dominating Munich. I hope that the Bundesliga will return to being competitive like the 2001-2012 period where there were several clubs like (Dortmund, Stuttgart, W. Bremen, and Wolfsburg) who were able to break Bayern Munich's dominance.
The last season signals something about next future seasons. Bayern Munich are in a transitional period with some old players will have to leave their clubs and young as well as new players will need time to help Bayern Munich reclaim their domination. It will need to be built in a few seasons, not in a single season or two ones. This will open the Bundesliga competition for more teams but it will also create more challenges for other clubs. If they are not ready for such challenges, they can not beat Bayern Munich in Bundesliga, in direct matches and in a season. |

Let's watch this first. We will know how good real madrid is right now.  I can't even define whether madrid will able to dominate UCL or not next season but in my understanding that if madrid is coming with some new player. We shall see how good joselu's performance with real madrid. I am very doubtful about Joselu and his contribution for Real Madrid but of course I wish the best for Joselu in Real Madrid. I still think Real Madrid need a better striker because they must have such striker to compete in Champions League. We will see some new player like joselu and bellingham. I doubt if bellingham will be able to perform so well against acmilan. Milan will come with so many great players like RLC and pulisic which has been bought from chelsea.
Bellingham is young but he has shown that he can deal with pressure very well and he played well in Dortmund and with England team in World Cup 2022. With a big transfer from Real Madrid, Bellingham will have to deal with another pressure but I believe again he will not let such pressure beats him down. Very few players from the UK. play for Real Madrid, I can remember some names like Steve Mc Manaman, Woodgate, Beckham, Owen, Bale and no more if I did not miss any other player. Bellingham will be the next player from the UK, from England to play for Real Madrid. |

PSG are primarily to blame for everything that is going on in the club; the board has made some horrendous decisions in the past few years and is currently on the lookout for them. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi offered a tempting massive bid for Kylian Mbappe when he was almost out to join the Los Blancos at Santiago Bernabeu, he decline Real Madrid bid in the final minutes and tend to accept the new offer from PSG, we know it was only a matter of time for the Frenchman to fully state his ambitions to win the UEFA Champions League.
It is their past policy and I see they are correcting the past mistakes by changing their policy and approach for Mbappe. They will not repeat their bad decision one year ago by signing a new contract with Mbappe, increasing his salary and allowing him to gain bigger power in the club. It is not too late to change anything and PSG are doing a right new approach to move forward. I think we must wait for the end of this summer transfer season to actually know about their approach because so far we only can know from news, interviews, press conferences but PSG can hide their real approach and can make stupid decision with Mbappe again. Football isn't just about earning big money every week; rather, what will you be remembered for? Kylian Mbappe is no longer a teen; he is mature and capable of making important choices.
Kylian Mbappe surely is one of biggest star players in the last few seasons and he is matured sooner than his age. He is no longer a young player if we consider that he shined with AS Monaco at his 18 years old. |

Even without Haaland Guardiola's team would still perform better than Tuchel's they're both great coaches no doubt but Pep should be more applauded because he's proven himself in 3 different league winning major trophies from all apart from Bayern where he failed to win the Champions League but he's won a Treble for Barcelona and recently in England with Manchester City, the only coaches after Sir Alex Ferguson that should be compared to the level of Pep are José mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti.
Tuchel only wins one big title in Europe, Champions League. The rest titles he has are from France, with PSG and like Ligue 1 titles. He has yet won any Premier League, did not win Bundesliga with Dortmund. You are right that Tuchel has yet achieved big things like Pep Guardiola and even coaches like Jose Mourinho, Ancelloti have yet won trebles like Pep in the last season. Tuchel was great for Chelsea helping them In winning their second champions league trophy but I think it was the change of owner that made him loose focus the next season
Tuchel was sacked by Chelsea and did not win Premier League with them but he won one Champions League with them. In Chelsea history, it is their second Champions League title and I am sure Tuchel was marked in Chelsea history. Nobody can deny his achievement in Chelsea history and he will always be remembered by history. |

I hope that you will make a profit and that you will not have any loss, but halving time is not a time when the price can double during the short term.
It is true that the supply is decreasing and the demand is at the peak, but some mining devices will exit the market and the last parity will be achieved within a period of one to two months, during which if the demand increases, the price will increase, otherwise there will be no change.
Price can be manipulated before or after a big event. If price always goes up, doubles before a halving or only moves like this after a halving, the market will be easily predicted. Whales who manipulate the market will not do it like this so I agree that buying a big Proof of Work altcoin like Litecoin around halving time when its price has yet moved up too much is a good choice. I must warn that guy about risk, like you said, don't expect it will move up immediately after you buy it. Don't buy it with leverage and speculate its bull run. |

@seleme I personally believe that Stake detection methods are improving and they’ll continue to improve hence people should voluntarily give up their other accounts and come clean or just stop using them because such actions hurt casinos and we don’t want anything to happen to Stake.
They have to upgrade themselves with time to survive. Time flies fast and cheaters as well as competitors upgrade themselves too so Stake.com have to upgrade its platform and digital tools if they don't want to be fall behind cheaters and competitors. Furthermore if people are aware of other people alt accounts then they should contact Stake with proof and help them ban these accounts so we all can continue receiving amazing benefits from Stake.
I don't think it is possible for forum members or users at Stake.com to detect multi accounts which only can be detected with internal detective tools from Stake.com. I don't imagine how they can detect cheaters if they don't have data from Stake.com users and their bet history, transactions and more data like IP addresses. |
