I meant more so for me. But also funded crypto coins going forward shouldn’t be a thing. More to that belief .:I’m currently working on yet another physical btc scam thread (I have more research to do, but I’d be shocked if it’s not from what I’ve read so far. It’s the longest and most convenient word salad white paper I’ve ever read by far, and I’ve read many. It’s a token/physical ).

I have spoken Wink

      Yes the Shitkey and Titan saga have definitely left a very bad light on our loaded collectables and for people looking from the outside it sure does not look positive at all.

       However I am sure we will bounce back just like when Alitin hit way in the back then era....hopefully now as well.

      Ty looking forward for your next expose! Thanks for taking the time to weed out the bad apples in our sector!
I second that. You could also argue that for every shitproject ending up as a scam, the valid ones will become more valueable.
I am just curious and hopeful at the same time to see what happens with new crypto-ATH maybe end 2024 in our collectors space. Feels like things have been stalling a bit recently in regards of new peeps discovering this niche.
682  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Inactive BTC whale transfers $8M worth Bitcoin After 10 years Inactivity on: April 22, 2023, 05:11:44 AM
Someone just got out of prison after 10 years and then cash out his stash, Lol.

But who knows, your guess is as good as mine, maybe he just stumbled upon a old laptop and then see the private key and mnemonic phrase. And that is a long HODL though and it's just surprising that someone will suddenly move it when we are not even in the bull run.
The prison scenario seems like one of the more-likely ones to me. There are 100 other possibilites, from someone finding an old harddrive with the keys to being in need of some quick cash-flow for an unexpected reason.
However 280 BTC isn't a massive amount that would have any huge impact on the market at all.
Also, regarding your question about cashing out in the current market situation: I don't think the market is THAT bad right now, it's still up over 75% from recent lows, so if you know you need the cash within the next 6 - 12 months, now seems like a reasonable time to cash-out (even though I think going doller-cost-average over a period of a few months is usuall the better way).
683  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-03-23]Thailand Bans Use of Cryptocurrencies as a Method of Payment on: April 22, 2023, 04:45:09 AM
It said the curbs on cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin for commercial transactions are in line with regulations in Europe, the U.K., South Korea and Malaysia. "

The Thai government didn't give any genuine reason why they had to make such a policy. They don't even have personal experience or proof that cryptocurrencies harm or will harm their economy. The only reason is that they want to copy the policy of other nations. I have closely observed that most of the nations that are restricting cryptocurrencies do it because their colonial masters or some other bigger economy adopted the same policy. Very soon before any country will access loans from the IMF or World Bank one of the major criteria will be to ban or restrict cryptocurrency transactions.
Just a quick note in this case: Thailand was never colonized, but I guess this still doesn't necessarily mean they are uninfluenced by other countries' way of legislation.

Still, anyone with insight what is about to happen after the ongoing current eletion? Quite curious what we can expect in regards of crypto regulation in Thailands future.

Since they are a EURO mockup, you should send one of these coins to the EU parliament (with a huge FU-EU-sticker included). These bricks just voted in favour of a ridiculous legislation coming into effect in around 18 months.
It includes the total survelleince of any transaction made with crypto, energy-emission control for any crypto-coins and assets and more shenanigans completely missing the reality and possibilites of crypto. Oh well, nothing new, just needed to let off some steam, sorry for that.

Time to slowly but surely continue replacing Euro with Crypto. Wink
687  Local / Presse / [21.04.2023] Regeln für BTC & Co.: EU-Parlament besiegelt Aus für anonyme Krypto on: April 22, 2023, 04:08:37 AM
https://www.heise.de/news/Regeln-fuer-Bitcoin-Co-EU-Parlament-besiegelt-Aus-fuer-anonyme-Kryptozahlungen-8974491.html

Im Kern nichts Neues, nur dass jetzt die Abstimmung dafür durch ist.
"Zu dem beschlossenen Paket gehört eine Verordnung zur Übermittlung von Angaben bei Geldtransfers und Kryptowährungen, die mit 529 zu 29 Stimmen bei 14 Enthaltungen das Abgeordnetenhaus passierte. "

Das Paket beinhaltet Forderungen, die an der Realität von Crypto meilenweit (kilometerweit - ist ja EU) vorbei gehen: "Demnach müssen alle Überweisungen von Krypto-Vermögenswerten Informationen über deren Quelle und Empfänger enthalten. Diese sind den zuständigen Behörden zur Verfügung zu stellen."

Desweiteren tauchen Forderungen wie diese hier auf: "Herausgeber von neuen Coins müssten künftig auch relevante Informationen zum Energieverbrauch und zu den Umweltauswirkungen vorlegen. Dies schaffe Transparenz für Verbraucher."
Wie sich das mit dem erschaffen dezentraler Systeme in Einklang bringen soll, steht in den Sternen (und selbst die blicken ratlos).

689  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin having effect on the ongoing war on: April 21, 2023, 11:07:07 AM
But who knows, the source is inside Russia so might be true that they are just hiding on the reasons that they have abundance of electricity, on the other hand they want Bitcoin mining or Bitcoin per se, to go against the sanctions by the West. So still a win-win for them to go and become the second biggest mining country.
Many people in the financial system in Russia consider bitcoin to be a pyramid scheme. You can argue a lot on this topic, but a large number of bitcoins have already been mined. If Russia invests huge amounts of money in the construction of mining centers, then the US could at any moment ban bitcoin and make Russia's investment in mining useless. There are a lot of natural resources in Russia, and it is better for the government to develop more promising areas rather than bitcoin mining.

Do you have any proof for your "US can easily go ahead and ban Bitcoin" claims?
First of all we all know it's technically not easy, if even possible at all. Yes, they can crack down on legal exchanges and spread more FUD and make things difficult for any busninesses operating with Bitcoin. But WITHIN the US only.
Given Bitcoin's current level of adoption, I doubt this is something the US wants to try. It would just create a huge exodus of crypto-companies towards other, more Bitcoin-friendly countries and lower the US' competitiveness in that field.

691  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A service to find the relation between two addresses on: April 21, 2023, 06:50:40 AM
I am looking for a service that can help me map out the relationship between two addresses. Essentially, a tool that can inform me if there is any connection or correlation between the two addresses that I provide. Does anyone know of any services that offer this functionality or something similar?
Crystal has a visualization feature that's similar to what you're trying to build: Here's an imperfect example [none of the addresses are mine (I took them from one of the recently mined blocks)]
- It has nice features (e.g. moving the pieces around), but if you try to go too deep (e.g. adding many input/output addresses), their server will return an error!
Another amazing resource. Been playing around with it a little bit, working fine so far, even though I sometimes it quickly goes to the "oops something went wrong" page.
Hope they keep improving it. - In general that's exactly how I would imagine a tx-graph with some hand-picked transactions should look like.

Could this be a security issue
I perfectly understand your concern!
This is the same trust issue we all are facing daily with our IoT devices (printers, IP cam, smart devices, etc). Unfortunately we can only trust the manufacturers.
Connecting the device to your "guest" network (if available) can make you fell more comfortable.
In any case, keeping your network and your devices/computers updated and secure is the best thing you can do. This regardless of this ticker, especially if you are in the crypto-space. In this case an hardware wallet should be a "must have".
Additionally, if you are a tech guy and you want inspect the generated network traffic you can see that the device only connects to the Binance and Coingeko servers. No other network connections will ever be open.

Price is probably fair given this is very niche, but seems steep when compared to for example an usb-energy-consumption reader from amazon (with a similar display).
Yep, I know it is not cheap, but please consider that it is not an industrial/mass-produced device. Every device takes more than 3 hours of continuous printing.
Additionally shipping and taxes are already included on the price, so the final gain is quite low.

Maybe try offering a 10% discount for bitcointalk-users with a promo code?
This is a really nice idea, but instead of a promo code I just release a referral program that can allow anyone to use an LNURL to automatically receive a 10% of the total for every purchase done on the following 24 hours.
For example, if someone access the site with the following URL and purchase some devices (within 24 hours) the system will send the 10% of the total in BTCitcoin to the ref address indicated in the url:
https://www.cryptogadgets.net?ref=lnurl1dp68gurn8ghj7ampd3kx2ar0veekzar0wd5xjtnrdakj7tnhv4kxctttdehhwm30d3h82unvwqhkyctwdejkgar4wf6xcefkxuh2lnk3

This can automatically become a sort of cashback for anyone who knows this trick (currently only you at bitcointalk Wink )

Hello and thanks for replying to each of my points.
The referral idea is good and seems well implemented.

Regarding price, here are my thoughts:
You are currently in a strange territory; it's neither a cheap device that anyone would just buy for fun easily, unless they don't care about expenses at all, nor is it a really fancy high-value(looking) product. If you continue using the plastic look, personally I think it must be considerably cheaper. Or you try and really improve to something more fancy and you can even up the price to 99 USD and maybe beyond. That could work if the crypto logos are metal or have any other high value components. Just my 2 sats.  GL!

Freut mich ja, dass das Buch auch hier auf Interesse stößt. Ich denke ich werde es demnächst so oder so kaufen, ob zum selber lesen oder als Geschenk. Dennoch neugierig, ob es hier noch eine Rezension dazu geben wird.
Wie sieht es inzwischen, 2 1/2 Wochen später aus, bist Du weiter voran gekommen? Wie ist Deine Meinung zum Buch?
Grüße!
Um ehrlich zu sein bin ich bis jetzt noch nicht weiter gekommen mit dem Buch , aber werde am kommenden Wochenende versuchen dies zu machen.
Aber das was ich bis her gelesen habe , beziehungsweise die ersten Seiten sind schon sehr gut geschrieben und als Kryptofan taucht man sofort ein mit begriffen die man kennt.
Werde aufjedenfall wenn ich weiter gelesen habe hier im Beitrag wieder was dazu schreiben.

Ich habe bei amazon nachgeschaut, es schien mir nicht, dass dieses Buch ins Französische übersetzt wurde. Ansonsten muss ich wohl auf meine seit einiger Zeit vergrabenen Sprachkenntnisse zurückgreifen ...
Ist eventuell ein guter Zeitpunkt deine deutschkenntnisse wieder aufzufrischen , wie gesagt es ließt sich sehr angenehm.

Kein Ding, ich weiß selber wie das oft läuft mit neuen Büchern (sogar mit Hörbüchern): Man ist wirklich interessiert und der Anfang ist auch spannend, und dennoch kommen dann 100 andere Dinge dazwischen und es dauert dann Monate bis man tatsächlich mal anfängt das Ding wirklich zu lesen.

Wo wir schon dabei sind:
Irgendjemand mit anderen Buchempfehlungen zum Thema Bitcoin und von mir aus auch Crypto allgemein?

It's the same with most things in life: You can't force anyone to
- a more healthy lifestyle
- a more healthy relationship
- a new path for monetary success
or anything else that needs a change in perspective from their current status quo.
Bitcoin in that regard is above average challanging - a completely new *THING* that's usually way out of scope of comprehension for the average civilian without any prior knowledge on the topic.  Wink
The only way is to sometimes mention an interesting fact about Bitcoin every once in a while - maybe something sticks and makes them curious enough to put in the time and energy to start investigating by themself. Maybe. Pobably not, though.

My experience is, that many people prefere to hold on to their narrow believe-system even though evidence is getting stronger and stronger, that they might be in the wrong. So I would avoid putting in too much energy.
In any case, I love to recommend Andreas Antonopoulos videos: https://www.youtube.com/@aantonop/videos
695  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Collection Thread] Series and films in which Bitcoin (or Altcoins) appear on: April 21, 2023, 06:21:48 AM
I got something to add to the list:

Netflix series: Beef

Quite early on, one of the main characters is accessing his brother's phone and sees he invested in some crypto including Bitcoin.
SPOILER:
He borrows money (around $20k) and invests it all in Bitcoin. Later on we see BTC dropping by more than 50% and our main guy losing most of his investment.
SPOILER END




In The Simpsons, episode 18 of season 32 titled “Burguer Kings”, we can see an interesting quick visual joke on the bottom of the screen: the price of Bitcoin will be “infinite”. Will this new Simpsons prediction be as accurate as the others?  Wink

https://www.ibtimes.com/simpsons-predicts-future-price-bitcoin-will-it-be-accurate-3180756

Nice catch. Here it is:



This is similar to what Saylor said: "It's going up forever, Laura."

It basically makes sense. Bitcoin is a scarce and valuable asset, priced in fiat, which loses purchasing power over time. Double whammy.

Even though over half a year old already, that's an amazing find - new to me. Love it. Smiley

697  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Titan Mint Coins- Serious Issue- Titan Mint Bitcoin Coins ***NEW UPDATES*** on: April 21, 2023, 06:06:56 AM

I hate to say this because Tim Fillmore is a scumbag fuck, but that’s a beautiful coin (though Tim didn’t design it).

First off, crack and peel asap. Leave hologram intact as best as possible. It would likely be worth grading to increase premium. ICG would be your go to and if you want to spend the extra time and money PCGS might be willing to grade it after ICG (if you’re not familiar PCGS is the standard for coin grading globally, so it would be worth more in it’s slab than ICG..by how much, who knows). Hell maybe they’d grade it without ICG doing so first. It’s a murky area right now w PCGS.

I’d say it’s probably worth $500-1000 above spot value. It’s impossible to say though. Maybe just post a “WTS” thread and ask for offers and see what you get or run an auction and make the minimum first bid the lowest amount you’d be willing to sell it for.

Lastly, happy 4/20 back at ya Smiley  
Indeed, what a waste of a beautiful collectible. Glad to know that Tim-guy didn't create the design himself. To me this makes it easier for the coin to keep a higher collectors value in itself.

A little OT, but since you mentioned it, please let me know if I got this right: So PCGS doesn't grade some crypto coins UNLESS they were already graded (by ICG)?

698  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [SALE] 1HoDLCLUB 1mBTC coin "Fuck Fiat Money" Collection on: April 20, 2023, 07:12:19 AM
These are exceptional, high quality items that graded very well- if you will, some perfect below.  If you haven't gotten one yet, I would recommend doing so before they are sold out.  Damn shame I'm not a good picture taker but MS70s speak for themselves.


WOW! I hadn't thought about sending them into grading. Until now. Amazing grades, congrats 2stout.
Additionally they are a great conversation starter (among Euro-folks at least) - field tested recently. Smiley

We already have https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1650522.0 and it's still fairly recently active, so this topic is somewhat redundant.  I'll be continuing to use that one if I spot any future references.

That is indeed a great reference, for some reason it didn't pop up when I was doing a quick search.
Thanks for pointing it out and indeed no reason to continue this thread, I am gonna close it down.
