To be honest, no one really bothered to really find him, or sue him after his identity became known - and the reason is that it all happened at a time when Bitcoin was only worth a few hundred dollars. I'm sure any qualified investigator would easily track him down, unless he really tried and disappeared somewhere in the wild.

There is information about him even before he became a bad boy on the Internet, and all those who lost hundreds or thousands of BTC should go to Canada (Saskatoon) which is the right place to start the search.

It doesn't surprise me at all what the inventor of one altcoin thinks about Bitcoin, because he, like all other inventors, intended to do something that would be better than Bitcoin, and so far everyone has been unsuccessful. Therefore, every statement of the VB should be viewed in that context, because everything else has no logic.

Three years ago, there was a story that he would do something like Satoshi and disappear, thus decentralizing his project - but we all know that these are just stories for small children.

While it may be true that most spammers and bounty hunters come from the areas of the world you mentioned, it just means that people in those parts of the world live very hard and look for some sort of lifeline on the internet. This does not mean that other parts of the world do not perceive this forum as a place where magic money is shared for posting, but that educated and intelligent people do it in a much more cunning way than some others.

I don't really blame these people, they just take advantage of what the forum has to offer. If the forum were set up towards them in a way “Newbie & Jr.Members can’t participate in bounty/signature campaigns,” then we most likely wouldn’t be discussing things like this.

Each member has his own rank, and each new member can notice it very easily - he is a brand new member, and if he sees the other ranks, it is logical to ask the question he asked. Of course, it would have been much better if he had found the answer to that question himself.

Everyone needs money at some point, and if that’s why you have to sell something, then there’s no point in regretting it later. I consider Bitcoin primarily as a currency I use in my daily life, but that doesn’t stop me from still being a long-term holder because I believe Bitcoin is also a very good store of value and a great hedge against inflation.

During my first years in the crypto world, I collected various altcoins mostly through faucets, and some are worth quite a bit today, while others are worth almost nothing. I agree that with altcoins it is not a good strategy to hold for long-term, but somewhere in 2014 or 2015 the price of 1000 Dogecoins was only $0.14, today 1 D is worth more than $ 0.20, imagine that

Plagiarized post:

Luckily, I remember what I wrote a few days ago, so I easily noticed plagiarism - although the plagiarist obviously chooses the posts that got the most merits in the hunt for merits - wrong post this time.

The weakest link in the whole chain is of course always a man, whether it is a malicious employee or a bad programmer who left room for a hacker to break into the system. Given the size of Google and the number of employees, it's hard to believe that everyone is honest - so I don't trust their services too much (although I use them), but for extremely sensitive things I recommend an email from Proton which is free and encrypted, based in Switzerland.

However, the worst option is to use only one e-mail account for all services, because if someone happens to hack it - it becomes a real nightmare, the hacker takes over everything related to that account.

It’s hard to say whether he changed his mind, or just someone took his statement out of context - but I think more and more of those experts who were previously negative or extremely negative about Bitcoin just don’t want to stay in the group of those who will remain in the minority. If you have been expressing your opinion about something for years, and the facts constantly refute you in what you say - then either you are not intelligent enough to understand, or someone is paying you not to deviate from your views.

Some just need more time to believe, and time has shown that Bitcoin is no Ponzi scheme and a passing trick intended to enrich an individual or a group. Of course, there are those who will continue to say that the whole thing will collapse and that Bitcoin has no value, but maybe in 10 years, they will admit that they were wrong.

After a little delay, I received a newly created account, and everything is as stated. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding caused by the delay, and everything would have been avoided that the first post or title has been edited. I will write a final review after the first 30 days of the subscription expire.

If you have ever created such a crypto wallet, then you must have noticed that any serious wallet will warn the user that it is extremely important that they write their words in the correct order as they are shown.  Many for some reason mix up these words (for safety's sake), but then forget the right order afterward - fortunately, there is a way already mentioned that can correct this.

What is much more important is that you do not lose part of your seed, so even then there is a possibility that you can find them out by brute force method - but if I remember correctly I think that more than 4 lost words (or maybe 5) are an almost impossible mission.

I thought everyone had heard of Dr.Doom, because they call him like that since he almost always predicts that something bad will happen - and when he does, they say he's a very smart and intelligent man who understands how the world works better than others. I had a chance to watch a few of his interviews (albeit unrelated to Bitcoin), and I have to admit I wasn’t left under any particular impression.

What I have noticed is that he lives very luxuriously at the expense of what he says, which means that he sells his visions of the doomsday of the economy very lucratively, and bad news seems to sell much better than good news.

If it took a man 10+ years to realize that Bitcoin has value, then he is a really great expert.

But you are implying that it is Norton users who are the target of these emails, although there is no directly proven link to confirm this. There are millions of e-mails hacked from various databases, and the only question is who uses them and for what purpose. I use a unique email for my Norton, and I'm sure I'll only get a phishing link to it if someone really hacks into their database - if everyone took such precautions, phishing would almost disappear.

I agree, most people are prone to panic when they see that their investment is losing value, and just then you need to be mentally strong and realize that you won’t lose anything if you don’t really sell at that point. Although following examples from the past, those who bought BTC in late 2017 and decided not to sell had to wait several years to recoup their investment or make a profit - which is a rather difficult task, especially for those who invest the money they need in everyday life.

Why would I spend my time on Discord or Instagram if we have this forum and if you have my email used to place an order? I give you a maximum of 24 hours to deliver what I paid or to return the payment (please contact me for BTC address) or I will consider that you scam me.

As far as I can see, the Indian local board does not have its moderator, and only one spam thread already has over 500 views - which means that spammers have focused on that board for the reason that their posts there will be the longest visible. I don't know how to defend the forum effectively from this type of attack, spammers seem to have found a weak point, and now they are massively exploiting it.

Information that can be read in post number 2 of this topic, which is proof that you haven’t read anything more than the title and maybe the first post. We are discussing the facts, speculation on this topic is really unnecessary.

People, you need to start thinking with your head, because making a sensation out of one innocent statement really doesn’t make sense. There are two groups of people who claim that Bitcoin has no value - the first are those who really have a low IQ and do not understand anything more than the relationship "bank -> plastic card - > ATM - > PIN -> money" - and those others who are so deeply involved in the existing financial system that they will always be negative about Bitcoin no matter how well they understand it.

Besides, what an obsession it is with a man who poisons his political opponents with radioactive substances or literally kills them under the window of his office. His opinion is literally worthless to me.

Where is the source of that news? I personally haven't read anywhere that something like this happened in that country, and you should think a little about what you're writing - because you're posting inaccurate information.

Here's some good news for you -> Venezuela replaces national currency with bitcoin

Let's see how many experts will be hooked on this April joke.

You totally mixed up everything that could be mixed up, this topic is about Russia being reportedly third in the world when it comes to Bitcoin mining - not about some kind of Bitcoin legality or anything to do with Bitcoin being declared a legal tender like this is the case in El Salvador.

Russia most advanced in what, hacking and amount of crypto scam? What kind of technologies and projects are you talking about?

Warning for everyone - I paid for my Netflix account 24 hours ago and haven't received anything yet! Although the amount is not significant, I hope @bitbollo was wrong when he suspected that OP was just another scammer in a row.

I agree with you, price is not a key factor to be guided when buying software, but free programs are usually free because they charge for their service in some other way, often by collecting user data and selling it to interested parties. Far from paid programs not doing that, but over the years I have gained confidence in some security solutions that have not let me down so far and give me a sense of security when I'm online.

In the context of a topic where the focus is on protecting smartphones that have crypto wallets on them or users use them for crypto trading, any investment in security makes sense - but it's up to everyone to decide whether they need such protection or not.
