In your case, as I see that you are knowledgeable and interested in technical issues, if you focus most of the time you spend on the forum on exchanging knowledge in these sections, you will gain merits at a good pace. You don't need anything else.

I don't believe so.


That would only prove that he is the second owner, the one who only spoke English and not Spanish any more. In fact he staked the address just after the posting gap indicating a change of hands and when he started speaking in English (and never wrote in Spanish again). Another thing I see is that in the first period he did not apply for any bounty but after a short time after he switched to English he applied, which usually happens when accounts change hands.


Please enlighten us, why would someone who has spent two and a half years writing only in Spanish, switch to writing only in English?

I have seen that the scammer has not been active for a couple of days, as expected, and I was going to pass on creating the flag, at least for the moment, and that in the event that I saw him active again I would create it.


But since you created it, I'm obviously going to support it.

I don't think there's anything else to say in this case, so I'm going to lock it.

This method of earning allows you to earn $1000 a day or more

It is a clear case of a scam attempt for which there is no need to give many explanations, but I was thinking if it would be worth creating a flag so that newbies and unregistered forum visitors could see it clearly.

I think it's most likely that after my tag and the responses he got to his thread, he won't be very active here again, but I hesitate to create the flag just in case.

Digaran never ceases to amaze me. I think we already have another BenCodie case around here. So he's against mixers and has been getting paid for spamming the forum while advertising Mixero mixer in his signature? For months, I seem to remember.


I don't know if there is another utility, but even if there was, that's the main one. The question is whether obfuscating the origin of your coins is only for illegal reasons or for very legitimate reasons, such as protecting your privacy.

You have to see who wrote this article: a stablecoin company. In other words, it can be biased but it's well documented.

It is surprising and hard to believe that:


Because that would be over 200's of millions of people having paid for day to day things with stablecoin. Is there that much adoption in Latin America? This would mean that at least 20% of businesses have the option to pay with stablecoins and I find it hard to believe.


You live in Brazil, don't you? Do you believe the quote I posted, which is based on a Mastercard study?

I usually see you write potent arguments but what you just said seems to me to be a joke. It had to be at some point, I guess.

The growth of LN and Bitcoin adoption has to come because of a demand and a need for real usage, not because some Bitcoiners try to increase usage in an artificial way like that.

The entire OP is bullshit.

We are living in the time in history when access to capital is easiest for the ordinary citizen. Compare today with the Middle Ages, for example. And here you have the OP telling us a crap story based on victim mentality.

But what are we going to explain to him if he starts from such a distorted view of reality? Let's not explain to him that the average citizen is richer than a king of the Middle Ages because he has many more goods and services he uses (comfortable bed, air conditioning, state-of-the-art health care, heating, cheap flights, car, etc.), the only difference in favor of the King being that of the subjects who worked for him.

And that with cryptocurrencies you do have access to liquidity that you do not have in the traditional system, it's just another bullshit.

I just left negative feedback for the OP precisely so that those of you who have no experience in this are warned. I have seen many "offers" of this type for many years now and I can tell you that a 40% daily return is a scam that only people who do not know mathematics fall for.

If you invest as little as $100, with a 40% daily return, reinvesting what you earn each day, at the end of just one month (30 days) you would have $2,420,143.24. You tell me what the fuck the OP is doing here promoting his "system" instead of being on his way to his private island with his yacht full of models and bottles of champagne.

It is simply this way, whoever does not understand what volatility is, do not invest in Bitcoin. Even in the middle of the bull market when ATHs are beaten there are also downturns where some people get scared and sell because they think that the big drop has just started and it is better to sell before the price goes down more. Some people go from FOMO to FUD in a matter of minutes.

I don't see much future for it because I don't see a future in Bitcoin to pay for coffees. There are too many payment alternatives for coffees to choose Bitcoin. Why are you going to pay for everyday payments with something that in a year's time will easily be worth 3 times more and keep the fiat currency that next year will have a real purchasing power of at least 10% less?

What you call "luck" is just short-term statistical variability, and there is a part of statistics focused on the probability of games such as casino games.

The OP is right but with nuances. What many gamblers don't understand is that when they have a lucky break, what they have had is positive variance in an EV-negative game, therefore, you can't move on to the next play but the "luck" is not going to continue for long as in the long run the trend is going to be one of inexorable loss. Therefore, effectively, the best thing the gambler can do after having had a bit win is to go home with the money. And not come back.

That the first comment talks about the "heater" is precisely an example of not understanding how statistical mathematics applied to the game works.

Well, the point is that Alice is gambling not investing. But she can hit the lottery and make a x1,000 with some alt, which does not mean that she is a good investor, but that she has been lucky.

Regarding the example raised, in the OP with the other two cases, it seems to me too simplistic because it does not take into account the personal situation and other issues. For example, for me the answer of who is wiser between Bob and theymos depends on whether apart from what they invest they have an emergency fund and other assets. If Bob has a paid house and an emergency fund of 6 months of expenses, apart from what he is going to invest in Bitcoin and theymos has nothing, the wiser is Bob, but if the situation is the opposite, the wiser is theymos.

What it means is that legislations in the USA and the EU will try to control Bitcoin transactions in the same way they control banking transactions. Add to this the implementation of CBDCs and we are heading towards a world with total control and no privacy.

This makes me doubt the potential return that Bitcoin may have in the future, since the characteristics that made it attractive until now, such as the incensurability of transactions, can be lost.

I do when I play poker. I used to play more and did one hour sessions. Even when I played a lot I always did one hour sessions with breaks. For example, one hour, 15 or 20 minutes break and play again, another break and play again. Nowadays I don't play as much and sometimes I don't even make it to an hour session. But in general it is a good idea to set a maximum session time.

Me too. I'm going to call you angry conservative, then. Welcome to the club.


Flash Mob Theft it is something recent, not something that happened more than two legislatures ago, but if you want to give examples, look at what New York was like before Giulianni, during Giulianni's term and what it is like today.

Leaving aside supposed exceptions the Democrats are tolerant of crime, they lower penalties, blame the police at the drop of a hat instead of the criminals, etc. This has real consequences in the form of increased crime, filth, zombie neighborhoods like Kensington and so on.


If they are on equal footing in terms of corruption I prefer those who are tough on crime and keep the city clean and orderly.

It also takes a lot of patience to see how many threads are opened in the forum of this style, which only focus on whether the price is going up or down, and where the OP once the thread is opened does not come back to comment on the answers that have been given. That way some of us run out of patience and put people on our ignore list.

I see so many errors in what the OP says that I don't even know where to begin.

If you are going to invest in something, what you have to do is study it and make a reasoned decision as to why you are investing, not just buy because you think the price is going to go up. The latter is gambling, not unlike betting at the casino.

There are more volatile investments, such as Bitcoin, and the way to appease volatility is to think about the long term.

You have a lot to learn, OP.

Do you even follow Bitcoin price at all? The previous halving had the smallest impact of all the halvings so far, which should not be surprising since there are fewer Bitcoins left to be mined as the halving goes on. The "impact" was that price forecasts turned out to be grossly overestimated, and we will have to see what happens this next cycle to get a realistic idea of what we can expect in the following ones.

If they do it this way, there is no problem. But it is a rare situation, statistically rare, I would say. I think that if it happens in couples who gamble it is because they do it infrequently, like going to play bingo once a month. But in casinos you very rarely see two that look like a couple.

The way the gamblers OP talks about it, I think it looks more likely to end badly than to gamble responsibly, and, in the case of quitting, it is better for both to do it. If both of them have this hobby, if only one of them quits, it will lead to resentment and bad feelings.
