Hey guys!

I have noticed that whenever people in real life find out that I use bitcoin, they ask me to explain it to them. For example, some family friends that are my age came over to my house around 2 weeks ago, when they arrived, I was looking at crypto graphs because I had a little bit of money saved up to invest. Bitcoin was on one of the charts, so when they walked into my room, they asked about it, "You do bitcoin? How does it even work?." So I started explaining it to them, but what they didnt get was that it is decentralized. When I was explaining it they asked "Why doesnt bitcoin's creator give himself a billion bitcoin?" I told them that it is impossible for the creator to do so since he doesnt have control over the network, but after I said that, they told me that I was wrong and that since He made it, he can control it, which is incorrect. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to explain coins to non-crypto people?

If you can’t stop the criminals, close off their means to profitability. It’s a familiar tactic and now the Biden administration is preparing an array of actions, including sanctions, to make it harder for hackers to use digital currency to profit from ransomware attacks, The Wall Street Journal reports. That means going after the digital wallets that receive ransom transactions, the crypto platforms that help exchange one set of blockchain coins for another to obscure the culprits and the people who own or manage those operations.

The Fight Against Ransomware
Hit them where it hurts: The government hopes to choke off access to cryptocurrency in certain situations in a bid to limit the potential payoff from ransomware, according to people familiar with the matter. The Treasury Department plans to impose sanctions as soon as this week, the people said, and will issue fresh guidance to businesses on the risks associated with facilitating ransomware payments, including fines and other penalties.

Later this year, expected new anti-money-laundering and terror-finance rules will seek to limit the use of cryptocurrency as a payment mechanism in ransomware attacks and other illicit activities. The actions collectively would represent the most significant attempt yet by the Biden administration to undercut the digital finance ecosystem of traders, exchanges and other elements that cybersecurity experts say has allowed debilitating ransomware attacks to flourish.

Pakistan has already invited and played safely against RSA, SL, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. It was time for other team to visit Pakistan but they refused. AFAIK, security was not the prime reason rather they were political decision. Either way its bad for PCB and bad for the game.

Rather then conducting such tests Pakistan must focus on how they will bring international cricket back on there soils. Such tests wont bring cricket back there. PCB is helpless on recent CZN and ECB tour cancellation. Its wake up call for small boards to voice for there rights otherwise whales will continue to dominate cricket and ICC.

The members here said that only Coinbase employees can access these Coins with private keys.

The Coinbase support insists that they cannot be recovered.

where did the coins go ? Who or what emptied the wallet less than 3 months later.

ICC wants to remove the Toss with the so called Auctions.

It's interesting by the way. You can find more details Why replacing the toss with an auction is the fair thing to do

The more you bid to win the toss, the more runs you have to score 

My experience in buying and selling forums here, I like to involve a trusted third person, because I think it is very important so that there is no cheating from one of the irresponsible parties.

You have to be careful, never transfer money to people you don't know, even if it's legendary.

Nothing is guaranteed right now. I don't know which direction the ICC will tilt. Do you remember what happened during the 2003 Cricket World Cup? Both Zimbabwe and Kenya were awarded points (through walkover), after England and New Zealand refused to tour these countries due to "security threat". And back then New Zealand failed to qualify for the semi-finals just because of this. So will the ICC penalize New Zealand this time also? But times have changed. And 2003 was during the Dalmiya-era, when the pig3 didn't had much power.

Astounded by the amazing success of Bitcoin implementation in El Salvador, anti-social elements sponsored by the USD lobby have started vandalizing and destroying the Bitcoin ATMs installed by the government. The Bitcoin implementation has proceeded relatively smoothly and this has angered those who were expecting it to fail. I don't expect them to stop with this. The next step may be rioters beating up anyone who is using Bitcoin and vandalizing shops that accept BTC as a payment mode.

My only concern is the bad part. Did you tell them that there'll be storms? Did you explain that there's a bull run but sometimes a bear run? Because I am sure that you definitely not want them blaming you for any of their loss. Whenever I bring people to crypto or tell them about investments, I also let them know that it can be risky. I hope you did this, if not, you can still tell them while it's early.

Quality post is not about size, length it could be long or short. Quality post is about useful information that is passed to users that come across it. How it can add value

So now that bitcoin has been legalized in several countries as legal tender, do you think this double spending can prevent bitcoin from being used by many as a secure mean of payment so that adoption rates slow down?

Wow, it ain't easy at all, it weakens my very soul that all I've worked for have really gone and no way of making ends meet for now.
Do I regret bringing another being into this world? Perhaps I do when I'm down and emotionally at my lowest but I've learnt to be strong atleast for my kid. Unfortunately finding a love interest to serve as that emotional anchor ain't even easy in our society, once you tell them, faim! Its all over.
I'm probably feeling depressed but I still hope on loving and being loved. Hoping on God wiping away my silent tears, hoping on a shoulder to lean on and a listening ear.

Ever noticed how people would boast or proudly proclaim (or at least used to) that they invest and trade stocks, but they don't feel the same way about crypto, as if it's a secret never to be shared? Why is that?

This is the best thing we can do in my opinion. Unfortunately now during winter the weather is so much more depressing than in summer. In summer I never really watch TV, but now when it's cold and dark outside I watch more and more TV in the evenings. Which is not really productive.

India and Pakistan are known arch rivals so ICC just cashes out that fact by placing both the team in the same pool. After yesterdays incident Pakistani will be more concerned about the match between Pakistan and Newzealand. Pakistan would want to win this match at any cost and they will surely be backed by Pakistan fans. But, if they lose then the disappointment level would be very high.

I used it until it caused me to lose the Internet. VPN is convenient. Because not all sites are allowed to your location. I don't really want anyone to see where I am. I used to have it always on. Then for some reason I started losing the Internet. I contacted support. And they told me that it was my routerlogin net. It turns out that if you are connected to multiple networks at the same time it may be because the router input network is not working. In this case I had to just turn off the VPN and it worked.

Hey guys! I have recently taken steps to get out of gambling at age 14 so I want to share some information I got along the way!


I started gambling when I first started playing CSGO on skins gambling websites I had seen on Youtube. Fast forward a few years, and I am gambling cryptocurrency on Stake.com at the age of 14 years old. This is a problem, gambling for me was easily accessible, easy to get into, and fun. This caused me to spend more time doing it and to deposit more coins to make the stakes higher, I didn't lose much, but didn't win much also, I would split even most of the time. Yesterday, after realizing how much I think about it I made a thread asking people for some advice on the situation, and the overwhelming majority said that I should leave the gambling scene because of how young I am. I totally agreed.
