It's up to them if they let those developers deceive them. They can create new crypto where they make people fall for it with their promises of earning money when you are investing in their project early on and also explaining that the price will go up since bitcoin's price is also going up but it's not going up when BTC price goes up. I would say that they are only doing it to get money from their investors and there's nothing they can do about it since they did it on their own will and not being forced by the developers of the shitcoins.

It’s quite a confident statement that the coin will grow, just like Bitcoin did. But we see a lot of people who believe in this, thinking that they were late in buying Bitcoin and counting on history repeating itself, only with a different coin. You noted correctly, and we all saw it already in the ICO season, when a lot of investors were deceived, believing beautiful advertising, and lost a lot of money on shitcoins at a time when there was an opportunity to invest in Bitcoin.

OP, go through the topics newcomers create in this section, and you will see that the recommended links are almost always repeated.
From here, you can assume that your topic will be the same, no different from everyone else.
There is plenty of information to read in this section, but there is a problem: beginners do not want to read anything, but rather prefer to create the same questions.

Can a Cryptocurrency Newbie Earn 8K Bucks by Accident? Or, to put it in a not entirely honest way, proving how easy it was for him to get it since he just wants to give away 200 bucks. Binance will pay attention to it. I wouldn't want to have his bitcoins in my wallet. AML checks are all around now, and instead of buying a hardware wallet, he is throwing money away. Are there any naive people here who want to believe all this nonsense?
704  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin surpasses silver to become second largest ETF commodity in the US on: January 19, 2024, 10:38:26 AM
"Bitcoin  BTC -3.81%
 ETFs have exceeded silver ETFs in the U.S. in terms of size, driven by the substantial market interest they have received," Bitfinex Head of Derivatives Jag Kooner told The Block, adding that pent-up demand for bitcoin has played a crucial role in propelling the digital asset ahead of silver in AUM terms.

Silver was previously the second-leading single commodity ETF in terms of AUM in the U.S. However, spot bitcoin ETF funds, including the conversion of Grayscale's GBTC trust, now hold approximately 647,651 bitcoin, which amounts to $27.5 billion in AUM, according to CC15Capital."

That's something crazy I have heard today. but it will always have a hard time competing gold for sure. what's your view?

The fact that you put the text in quotation marks is correct, showing that this is not your text. But you also need a link to the source of the news you copied.

Firstly, OP, you need to read the forum rules. All your answers are confused by the number of mistakes you have already made. If you respond to each user in a row by replying with a new post, you are violating the multi-posting rule.
It is absolutely clear that you are doing this because you are not familiar with the rules, but ignorance will not be your excuse the next time you copy something from the Internet, which will be considered plagiarism, and for this, there will already be a punishment in the form of a ban on the forum.
Therefore, your interests, that is, material interests, should always run parallel to the rules that all forum users adhere to.

Can we stop him? Can someone add tags to him so he stops spamming?

Consider this: a few years back, the price of Bitcoin was much lower than it is now. So, saying it's too pricey might not hold when you look at its growth. Also, you don't need to buy a whole Bitcoin upfront. You can start small, using a strategy like Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), gradually adding to your investment over time. It's a way to ease into it. And don't worry about being late to the game, there's still plenty of opportunity. Bitcoin has a solid history, and if you believe in its long-term potential, it could be a worthwhile investment that withstands the test of time and thrives.

I've been facing issues with centralized exchanges and started using decentralized ones less. Recently, I came across a new project aiming to address this. They're building a hybrid exchange that claims to be Shariah-compliant, combining the efficiency of centralized exchanges with the security of decentralized ones. Despite being new, the team seems dedicated, working hard even on weekends. They already have a beta version with market and limit orders, and they're developing stop-limit functionality. To trade, you deposit assets into a smart contract, which adds to your trading balance. It's promising, and I'm hopeful it can provide a solution. Excited to see its success in the future!

Gold has long been valued as a stable, real asset, and many trust its enduring presence. But times are changing. Bitcoin is viewed as a game-changer, offering hope as a new technology with rapid growth potential. While it lacks a physical presence like gold, people are excited about the essence that Bitcoin brings. Boomers tend to lean towards trusting gold more, rooted in tradition, while the generation after them is more drawn to the possibilities of Bitcoin. It's a shift in belief, with gold symbolizing stability from the past, and Bitcoin representing a new wave of optimism for the future.

I think MacOS is more accessible to some users here as compare to some Linux flavors.

There are several Linux distributions with an interface similar to Windows. You just need to try it, and you will see how convenient Linux systems are to use. Yes, everyone thinks that working with Linux requires knowledge of the command line, but developers create it so simply that some systems work right out of the box. It’s safe to say that anyone who has figured it out and understood all the advantages of Linux systems will return to Windows just for the sake of toys. For everything else, Windows is a bad system.
Try installing these systems on VirtualBox for practice and analysis.

If you pay attention, many people among you have achieved high ranks. Should they create so many topics?

Although It seems a Post created based on pure assumption, I just wanted to give newbies a heads up about the kind of post accepted here, I've not heard any news on any major forum rules changes based on this. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up .


You are also a newbie, so the advice is not entirely appropriate, given the experience of your presence here.
But if we talk about the fact that you are warning newcomers specifically, then you can guess there is no newcomer there. All the people present, the old-timers who post in the WO threads, and others whom you see with a low rank, can be called merit hunters who have found an easy way to increase in rank. But these are not beginners, believe me.
Suppose you have carefully read the latest discussion posts. In that case, you will understand what we are talking about and how one user is trying to prevent the influx of alternative accounts from publishing posts there.

711  Economy / Economics / Re: The world's logic favours income makers, not the savers on: January 18, 2024, 06:04:36 AM
Yeah this is true, especially if you held cash in 2019. The amount you lost due to inflation is crazy. You would of been better off owning any other asset, including an car even. Because even with cars, most haven’t reached the 2019 prices still.

That’s why many who were renters got a bad end of the stick. Because they still have to rent but at higher prices while those who had a mortgage most likely pay less for living expenses than those who rent at the moment. All because those people owned a house instead of renting a place.

I agree that owning your property is always more profitable than renting. But those people who work for years to get their housing sometimes live their lives in an eternal rush, losing their health.
But the fact that if there is free money, it should not lie like a dead weight, devaluing itself, is also important. However, choosing the right investment will be the main point. In our case, this is Bitcoin, but in the case of people who are not ready for this, everything is a little more complicated.
712  Economy / Economics / Re: The savings problem on: January 18, 2024, 05:51:05 AM
I can tell about this problem by observing how most people live in my country. Loans for almost everything force people to work seven days a week. Closing one loan, another opens, and people live in debt without free money that could be invested. From here, it is noticeable that people are in a hole of debt, regularly saving every penny.
But yes, our desires do not end, and we can say that we can stop everything, but the pace of life and the developed habit of earning money practically do not allow people to stop and think that they can live differently.
713  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time to buy Bitcoin is around the time of Bitcoin Halving: April 22, 2024 on: January 18, 2024, 05:08:46 AM
We cannot be sure of anything, but we can make a close guess. People who are expecting the halving prepare for it several years in advance, so it is always about patience and strong hands. But there are those who, knowing the entire history of Bitcoin price growth, are still waiting for the best price to buy, year after year, losing their opportunities. These people will always be there, but not within the ownership practice.
Probably a little overstated, but the expression applies here: “According to your faith, it will be given to you.”
714  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wrong perspective towards Bitcoin investment on: January 18, 2024, 05:00:29 AM
I always say this: being fascinated by Bitcoin and rushing to use it without proper knowledge will always lead to disaster. Now here and there we hear that investing in Bitcoin is very profitable, but no one is in a hurry to learn that for you to get the benefits, you need time, patience, and also the ability to own them. Some leave their purchased Bitcoins on exchanges, some forget where they store their seed phrase, thinking that they can easily restore it, and others look with horror at the minuses that appear in their wallets during volatility.
I would prefer to always start with stories of a not entirely beautiful nature, for which a person should be prepared, and then tell him what magical mountains await him in the future.

Popularity to me is one of the bane of privacy. Well it's the price paid for wealth.


Nice post, OP. But have you heard of a zero-click attack?
Our knowledge regarding online security will turn to dust as soon as such attacks become popular. There is a good, recent article talking about such an attack. I'll leave a link.
Quote
Zero-click attacks are an emerging and concerning cybersecurity threat where attackers exploit vulnerabilities to compromise a device without any user interaction. These sophisticated attacks bypass traditional security measures by not requiring the target to click a link or download a file, making them particularly stealthy and dangerous. As technology evolves, so does the complexity and frequency of these attacks, presenting a significant challenge to cybersecurity professionals and users alike.
https://ensarseker1.medium.com/the-art-of-deception-understanding-zero-click-attacks-8bb33bbe4239

The only good news is that such attacks are now spreading among public figures. As you correctly noted, popularity is a curse.

Your information is very similar to another user's information on both this forum and the altcoin forum.
You say you Googled this site, but the first search brings me to a post that says it's a scam, posted in the summer of 2023 and again in October.
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=310719.0

I'm inclined to think that all the accounts are yours; why is there old information here?
What do you want to achieve?


4.  The best approach is to learn from this and move forward. Forget about it and take it as a learning experience.


The smartest conclusion Smiley

717  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have you made anything with ICO's? on: January 17, 2024, 10:22:20 AM
I was that idiot who believed in every new project that came out in 2018. ICO was very popular then, and I thought that everything was really so real, watching videos on YouTube and reading various advertisements and people's reviews.
But the veil of charm quickly fell from my eyes, and I began to dissect each new project to its bones, observing dozens of scams almost every day.
Today, I also don’t believe in any new coin that is brightly advertised, since they all sooner or later turn into dust. The purpose of creating such projects has always been and will be to profit from investors who are ready to believe the lies that scammers so beautifully hang on their ears.

You did not discover America by saying that Bitcoin users, and indeed all Internet users, need to adhere to confidentiality.
Everything you said is a general opinion that could be said by anyone who has learned the word "confidentiality" somewhere.
But the fact that you write that you do not want to cover a more detailed guide on this topic only confirms that you will not write anything new except what has already been on the forum for a long time.
Therefore, your motivations will probably be useful, but they should be more specific and contain complete information, such as how, where, and why.

Is there anything new besides this?

Is email required when creating this wallet? I had it installed quite a long time ago, but I know for sure that there was no mail there. Then why is your friend embarrassed when receiving such a letter?
The funny thing is that scammers send letters to those who are not associated with crypto at all. My neighbor was their target, and after learning that he shouldn’t respond to such letters, he got the impression that he shouldn’t associate his interests with crypto at all.
People will not look for correct information if they have doubts at the first stages, and they will most likely avoid cryptocurrencies. This is also the problem.
720  Other / Meta / Re: Allow to make thread self-moderated even after posting on: January 17, 2024, 09:18:23 AM
You always have the opportunity if the answers do not follow the topic, or if you see any trolling, to report it to the moderators.
This will encourage users to follow the topic and not deviate from it.
By doing self-moderation, we, on the contrary, motivate the user to engage in arbitrariness, since not always the one who creates topics, especially in the reputation section, will read the answers that he would like to see.
