CI good to see ya back at it. Ordinals would be cool if it was in a way depicting how it clogs up the network so people can trade photos that will be worthless in a few moths or so. If they had a legitimate use case, I’d be all for it. Bitcoin needs to faster and cheaper, ordinals are not helping that. They will likely have a use case one day, but for now you want to send a photo use text messages or emails. Grumpy rant over
682  Economy / Collectibles / Re: MrHodLClub - CHECK YOUR FUNDING! on: February 24, 2024, 07:34:05 PM
I’m curious how many of the unfunded cards edit:coins  are now funded. Anyone know?

I spoke with a collector recently (who wishes to remain anonymous) who revealed some troubling things about MrHodlClub. They purchased coins from him some time back, got in hand, messaged MrHodl to fund, was ignored for several weeks, had to message again and they eventually were funded. I don’t buy the “some people didn’t have the money to fund coins once in hand”. Please. Between the lack of communication with customers and unwillingness to shed light on things while acting like a 8 year old playing victim, locking threads, and saying you’re not going to sell here anymore (pretty easy to get away with stuff on twitter when you don’t have trust scores and can delete posts at will) I don’t trust you and can’t imagine many others do either. You prove much more with lack of willingness to address LEGITIMATE concerns.

There’s something also much more concerning that I wish I could share but for several reasons I just can’t. I wouldn’t even mention this at all as it’s important to provide details (which I have) but people come to me with stuff to make others aware, but fear repercussions of any sort and simply get very uncomfortable making posts like this. I’m hoping they’ll change their mind, however.

 I’ve been sitting on these things for a while now, hoping they’d decide to be open and transparent about everything ..which why would you not be if nothing to hide? So yeah here I am “playing inspector” which is just horrible of someone to be looking out for the community.  I never want to hurt anyone’s business or others view of it ..MrHodl has done a good job of that all himself. Red flags from day one, simple truth. I’m glad they never replied to my PM during the first release with a few questions.

So many ridiculous posts here. I think most coming from non-US citizens who have not a clue.  The U.S. financial market on brink of collapse? “To happen soon”. Lol where the fuck do you come up with this kinda shit. Also what is the US financial system anyhow? That could encompass countless things, largely NOT controlled directly by the government. The U.S. dollar is not in jeopardy of losing the world’s reserve currency status. The Fed Reserve, appointed by but NOT controlled by the U.S. president, branches of the US government, or Congress nor are funded by them, set monetary policies, interest rates, oversight of banking systems etc.  The U.S. Treasury, not the central bank like other nations, prints money, among other things. The president, branches of Gov, Congress etc all have limited say in much of the financial system, by design and countless “Acts” enacted over many many years designed to combat and take control out of few hands and in to many different ones. The SEC oversees the U.S. stock market, INDEPENDENT of the federal government.  Considering the U.S. economy is the world’s leading  economy and wont be challenged anytime remotely soon a financial collapse is, um, not happening soon. If it did? It would destroy the worlds economy right with it.

Take a look at the U.S. stock market compared to every other country,, perhaps there’s a reason why it’s so far and beyond the rest of the world in terms of market caps and company valuations across most sectors.  If you know anything about the financial markets (US at all time highs atm, after a sizable downturn /correction 1.5-2 years ago) you know the US equites and bond markets are the worlds best in terms of performance and safety /security.  Again US having the most debt means one thing, belief from the rest of the world that they’ll pay it back and on time, above any other nation. Borrowing is better than using your own money if you do it right, any day of the week,

 U.S.companies HAVE to report ALL financial news (good or bad)  4 times a year if they’re public. The Gov doesn’t directly control this the SEC does, I live in Illinois, it’s no secret my state is struggling in large part due to our pension budget deficit, the nations worst thanks to corruption of the STATE government officials of now and years past- https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-pension-debt-grows-2-6-billion-in-2023-mainly-to-cover-raises/ . State deficits have everything to do with State issued debt instruments (bonds) and nothing to do with US treasury bonds. The agencies that control the financial systems are required to publicly report everything and Congress will shut down in bad times, also not kept a secret from the rest of the world lol.

How do I know this ? 20 years as an advisor, governed by FINRA, under SEC regulation and working with and around the different independent agencies discussed above,

America isn’t the world’s “best” country by a long shot, but its economy, currency , debt instruments /security markets are and it’s not debatable as it’s all public knowledge.  

Do some homework people or at minimum provide some sort of proof to your idiotic

 
The government has long ago taking over the  networking of informations such as the social medias which was supposed to the people in concerned updated with the realities and happenings in life but because the governments are keeping things closed doors they shuts the News and other means of updates speculations up simply because they don't want to get exposed.

Utterly false. Proof from just 3 weeks ago - https://youtu.be/cN3x_9wEfrI?si=umU7Ck38UfsGDyF9


I don't follow what others say or news i follow to indicators i watch fed data and instututional data.
And those indicators show's to me that financial markets are in trouble but btc and gold are protected.
I suggest to you become trader and full financial person with full knowledge it's your own benefits then you start see things things like i do study and learn also the mechacals of markets and how they work.
I see now bond market have issues and anyone who know everything about finances and markets knows that it's serious now and If it's bad in usa it has bad impact over the UK and Europe also becouse all the financial system are run by USA Fed.

I suggest you actually read my post and maybe you’ll learn something. I’m a financial advisor of 20 years.  I hold Series 6, 7, 63 and 65 securities and security law licenses, life and health insurance licenses, as well as several financial designations. But I’m sure you’ll reply with something else that’s uneducated, short sided & with once again , no proof or counter arguments to the facts I just laid out. Just bad opinions (what’s gold and btc have to do with any of this lol)

Both likely for originals I’d assume (.025 is a steal) . Silver sells for more and gold WAY more. 

OP I know someone whom might sell you all 3, will send them this thread. Best of luck in your search.

oh i am sure the flippers will be selling for 2x soon. sadly most purchasers are not actual collectors just those trying to flip for more fiat.

Not so sure about this. They both have strong whale followings who never sell anything.. only 33 suites or so, few singles ..dont think we see too many anytime soon. Be diff story perhaps if TMAN was still around trying to corner the market anyway possible, to have the “biggest Kialara cock” as he would put it.

wow, i knew he has a following, his work is amazing but didnt think $200k of it would sell in less then 24 hours.  congrats to the creators! you deserve it! =)

Shoulda seen Kialara’s on eBay when Kim Kardashian posted one on her instagram,  speaking of selling out fast.  Glad I had a double to sell that day.

But yeah was about as guaranteed a sell out as it gets. Both incredible artists in their own ways and real good dudes to boot, they deserve it.

If anyone has a single they’re willing to trade, I got some cool stuff to offer up (BTCC chips, Satoris, CI coins, KillYou1 or KillYou2 Pirate glow in the dark coin..the beloved kinda stuff).
687  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Legal Action Against Ben Armstrong on: February 23, 2024, 02:36:42 AM
Wonder if there’s any connection to this fool and btalk user “BitBoy” ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2062  ) who came here to mostly just discuss and create btc symbols back in 2010..which is some interesting btc history. Looking in to similarities, Ben Armstrong apparently owned/owns a graphic design company (seen below). Also this article ( https://cryptoslate.com/people/ben-armstrong/ )  states Ben lost money on Mt Gox as an early btc adopter (despite not starting his shitcoin shill YT account until 2018) which BitBoy user here also discusses “having been one of the initial 500 account members” on Gox, and that he lost access to his account like many others during the hack.




Not saying they are one and the same, probably not..but Huh Just found this all kinda interesting (came across all this by accident..long story, so decided to dig in a bit and this is what I found after some quick digging).
688  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you stand to gain from the bull run. on: February 21, 2024, 07:02:48 PM
As the bull run is right around the corner, most of us newbies have heard about it,  and even the experience crypto enthusiastic knows how and what always transpired during the bull run, but the sad reality is that not everyone will gain from it,  so my question is that what measures have you put in place to be among the beneficiary of the bull run?  

We should start asking ourselves question like, how far have we gone in our Bitcoin accumulating process?  If the bull run comes this week, how much can we milk out from our current holdings? if we had any.

For procrastinators, It's high time you all start accumulating Bitcoin aggressively through the DCA method, so that you wouldn't be left out from such an amazing opportunity.

Well the reality is that there's really no such thing as an upcoming bull run.  Now I do recognize the fact that another bitcoin halving is coming up which in the past has typically sparked a bit of a run up, but there's never any guarantee of this and I think it's a bit misleading to newbies to state it as such. 

Main thing to keep in mind is bitcoin is inherently NOT an investment, rather a digital currency.
There is. Bullrun is a term being used in this industry and in layman's term it is a period wherein many investors are buying which creates high demand, making the market price increase. It might just be with the word "upcoming" because it is being anticipated rather than felt. But still it could still be given that there is an event involved which is halving. The process of bullrun is some sort of a domino effect. Big investors would anticipate and "buy" the idea of halving, which would uplift the demand as well as prices, then small investors will do the same thing, until it becomes a "wave" or a period that most of the tokens' market price are increasing.

Indeed Bitcoin is originally a digital currency but won't you take advantage of its feature which is volatility, if it would benefit you? Its market value is affected by demand which associates it to an asset or investment and there's really nothing wrong with that. There are still issues with global adoption of this industry anyway which is another barrier to why people aren't making use of Bitcoin and this technology in general as a mode of payment, therefore we cannot blame those people who are using it as an alternative investment as long as they are gaining profit from doing so.

Yeah I’m certainly aware of what a bull run means as a financial advisor, what I mean is there’s no such thing as an “upcoming” bull run. You can guess, but there’s no guarantee by any means.

690  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we need more influencial women in crypto to help the gender embrace it? on: February 21, 2024, 05:49:28 PM
This is a good topic and I would have to say yes, the more women in the "sector" the better chance bitcoin will have of reaching the mainstream (even more so than it already has).  I do have to say there's certainly some prominent women in the space whom are backing bitcoin, spreading the word etc, sort of like ARKK fund manager Cathie Woods. 

But yes, different races, different genders, all important ways of bitcoin reaching mass adoption.
691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos team identity on: February 21, 2024, 05:47:09 PM
The identity of a casino's team is something we rarely across in our forum even though we have like hundreds of announcement topics in this section, promoting services, gambling games and tournaments. This act typically comes around professionalism and hospitality to provide a special customer service. Showing friendliness.and deep understanding of the games offered. Team members may also be a comfortable addition to players here.

Till this day I didn't see any casino revealing the identity of their team, owners, employers and responsibles of the casino even though players are required to pass a KYC process for their identity, so I'm wondering have you ever thought about this too? and the reasons why most casinos are not doing this process?

This is an interesting topic.  This makes me wonder if big in person Casinos such as the Bellagio in Las Vegas have their team members either listed out somewhere on their website, or perhaps there's photos somewhere in the building showing whom the main people are.

I'm not sure even if the casino team members were listed out that it would make much difference to me personally.  This sort of info could real easily be faked.  Transparency however is a great thing.

I mean if they bought the ticket evenly, then they certainly should be splitting the prize amount.  Thankfully for him they aren't married as at least here in the United States divorce tends to be VERY costly for the men. 

I use to do work lotto tickets where anywhere from 10-20 people would throw in for tickets to give ourselves a better chance.  I use to sit and daydream how great it would be if we won, but the splitting the money aspect is a bit rough!

This is where I have great disdain for the boxing world.  No longer are we in the "golden era" for boxing where we had all these great heavyweights like Tyson, Lewis, etc, but you had some solid mid to light weight fighters as well.  Then of course boxing fell off a cliff for quite some time.  Pac vs Mayweather should have happened the first time long ago when the sport needed it.  I absolutely despite Mayweather as he legitimately a horrible human being.  Even though its a day late and a dollar short I'll be watching and rooting for Pacman to destroy Mayweather. Maybe if he hits him hard enough he'll be able to read all of a sudden.

It's serious the usa are in situation to default but nowhere info?

The news should look this," people we are in the real trouble and we are about see huge financial collapse and fed having the problems no easy fix "

I mean news are full of other news wich is not even so important compared with this one.
The USA financial system is now close to collapse we are few days away from default.
In this case only way untfortunately will be full scale war.
The amount of debt ....it can not be balanced out with small crisis.

Where is you proof of this?  There's a reason the United States has the highest level of debt over any other country in the world, and that's because the United States has the most "attractive debt" in the world.  Other nations continue to allow the US to build debt because they believe in their ability to pay it back more than any other nation.  There's a reason US debt securities (Treasury Bonds for example) are considered the safest investment on the planet.

I would answer this question the same I would/do when someone asks me if it's too late to start saving for their retirement (even when they're only a few months out).  It's NEVER to late to get in to something.  Now you want to make sure you're "getting in" for the right reasons, which means you understand the underlying technology, appreciate it, and see upside from this point going forward.  Never "invest' in anything you don't understand at least some.

The United States has become significantly more gambling friendly over the past few years.  It's crazy as I can now just turn on the radio and here a gambling commercial spot every other commercial, or turn on the television and see several different commercials about gambling..it's definitely a new day..as for taxation, that's been covered by other here, and while high, I think it's manageable.
697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it on: February 20, 2024, 03:26:09 PM
Emotion:

The cause of the emotion in the gambling site because of the loss due to bad luck.The gambling loss mostly occurred due to the emotional inference to the game.If the gamblers loss the funds in the gambling site,they become emotionally weaker person.This cause for the random betting in the gambling site.The more you control your emotions will cause you to win more in the gambling site.

The gambling is the game with two possibilities,which is the winnings and losing.The winning happens if you use your strategies to make the money,the gamblers who failed to make use of the strategies are the loser at the end of the gambling.The winner of the gambling always make money from it,So he get positive emotions towards the game.The gamblers with more positive emotions are able to win more in the long run in the gambling site.

Nearly eighty percentage of the gamblers are doing gambling for the money making,So it was essential for the gamblers to make use of their strategies to win money from the gambling site.How your emotions affects your games,let me know your past experience.

I agree with you in some aspects.  There is no question that gambling is in large part a game that is about level-headedness, one that needs to be played with a certain level of "zen", so to speak.  There's been times however where I was anything but this and ended up walking away from a night at a casino where I did pretty well.  So it's not like it's impossible, but..you're right, keeping calm and not super emotional is the way to try and be.

Embarrassed  No more basketball until Thursday.

All Star weekend was a bit of a letdown. I don’t know why they don’t just put up a million dollars for the slam dunk winner and save the contest.

Yeah it wasn't that fun.  I watched the three point contest as well as Curry versus Caitlin Clark deal, then the All-Star game itself the next day.  It just doesn't have that feel of all star games of old.  I also of course picked the West to win the game being that their team was just absolutely stacked, but that of course backfired.  I do believe the Easts score was the highest of all time lol.
699  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: STOP telling people how much Bitcoin you have on: February 18, 2024, 08:11:37 PM
People asking about your Bitcoin holdings isn't necessarily about disbelief. It's often genuine curiosity fueled by the novelty and rapid rise of crypto. It's like asking someone who owns a vintage car about its value, even if you don't plan on buying one yourself. The misconception that Bitcoin isn't "real money" highlights a lack of understanding about its underlying technology and potential use cases. It's not just about speculation or get-rich-quick schemes. While volatility exists, so does in traditional markets. The key is to approach it with knowledge and a long-term perspective. Focusing solely on how much Bitcoin someone owns misses the bigger picture. The true value lies in the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize various sectors, from finance to supply chain management. It's about innovation and exploring new possibilities.

I agree with you that normally when people ask others this question “how much bitcoin do you own”, it’s almost always asked without malcontent. I think people ask me this question most often as they simply are just genuinely curious as well as perhaps they are interested in how much “faith” I actually have in Bitcoin. So I hear ya, but that said I think it’s important to stand your ground and explain “I don’t give out my financial information”.
