Where will you be watching?

From my local network attached storage.
I've found the first 2 races recorded and also with English voice.

I hope that Eurosport (1 or 2) will air the next race on 10th and I will properly watch it in Romanian  Wink

Who does really rely with someone calls like these?

I expect that newbies do pay attention to this kind of speculations, especially if it's from people with big number of followers.
Not necessarily as exact value, more like a trend/direction/fear-greed factor.

Even if it ended already, this indeed was something I can be proud of.
I can say that I have bought a part of you for 1000BTC ~
xD

I am pretty much surprised that anybody found interesting to buy my fNFTs, even if it was for airdropped fake bitcoins.  Cheesy  [I guess that I have to work a bit more on my self esteem.]
So you made my day nicer and I thank you for that.

that this will end on 2nd April.  Smiley  

This made it so fun and so successful.
Else I expect people would have been more careful. I would have certainly been more careful with the money  Grin (oh, so many BTC...)
7285  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Mycellium vs CoinBase?Whats the difference? on: April 02, 2021, 04:09:13 PM
I am currently using Mycellium wallet and all the people around me use Coinbase and boast about how there are no fees,should i consider switching to Coinbase?
What is the difference between the both,which one would you recommend and which one do you use?

If that Coinbase wallet doesn't ask for any fees at certain transfers then those are off-chain, meaning that your friends don't actually own those coins (not your keys, not your coins), instead they have an account at a custodian wallet that holds the money for them, ask for KYC, record all they do and if Coinbase will get bankrupt or hacked your friends may lose their coins. Also if they want to send money to your Mycelium, on chain, most probably they'll have to pay the tx fees like everybody else.

Instead with Mycelium you have your own keys. Even better, Mycelium can work with Hardware Wallets, in case you'll have more coins there and you'll want to protect them better. Of course, you have to make sure you have a proper backup for your wallet/seed, since with your coins you have to be more responsible (no customer support will be able to recover them if you make mistakes).

I recommend Mycelium. But I reckon that there are many kinds of people in this world and both types of wallets have pluses and minuses, so please make your own choice.

If indeed Bitcoin->Ethereum is taxed, Bitcoin->GUSD will be no different.
But best would be to discuss with somebody specialized in taxes from your country (which you didn't specify), instead of relying on the guesses over the internet.
7287  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Safe Seed? What is the cheapest fire resistant seed phrase material to write on? on: April 02, 2021, 01:46:38 PM
For OP question the best answer is stainless steel. No doubt.
But paper, maybe laminated, maybe in waterproof/weatherproof capsules, stored in multiple geographically separated places can do the job with less effort.

And the competition rules allow contact, as long as there are no accidents.

OK, this is somewhat reassuring. Then it means that the cars may be a tad sturdier than the Formula1 ones. Good.
(But I still find that behavior rather reckless...)
7289  Local / Română (Romanian) / Re: Impozit cand faci cadou bitcoin? on: April 02, 2021, 01:37:31 PM
Monedele incasate prin campanii de semnatura sunt destul de sigur ca nu sunt luate in considerare drept cadouri ci mai degraba incasari in schimbul unor servicii prestate.

S-ar putea sa ma insel, dar cred ca pe ai nostri nu-i intereseaza daca monedele le-ai cumparat, castigat, primit sau ti-au crescut in pom. Cand le vinzi platesti impozit pe leii incasati si in principiu cam atat.
Plus ca in multe cazuri probabil ca le-ar fi si greu spre imposibil sa afle ca e incasare pentru servicii prestate sau nu.

See this moment of them in the last race:
https://twitter.com/FIAFormulaE/status/1365718573067472900

Quite irresponsible from both of them imho. They could have so easily totaled those cars...
The team should have been punishing them for such actions, especially since the cars touched.


PS. I've found on internet and will be watching the first two 2021 races in the week-end.

Please be informed that Blockchain Fest conference dates are moved to December 2-3, 2021 due to the Covid situation in the country.

The best would be to have updated info in the first post, including the full date.
Maybe an "Update April 2, 2021: whatever" would also be of help, else it can be seen like it has happened in December 2020...
7292  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Seed phrases or backup files on: April 02, 2021, 08:13:01 AM
Hello I am new to this technology, so i find sth interesting about Backup files and Seed phrases, and i'm not sure how good i thought it,
Is it true that with only 12 seed phrases you can recover your private key and other data about wallet in a new device, it's cool, but how technically 12 word save a lot of information?  if so, what is the difference between backup file and seed ? which one is proper ?

It depends on the wallet.
There are wallets that don't show the seed and don't allow recovery by seed.
Also seed works for HD wallets (Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets). Really old wallets didn't "know" this.

So in some cases making backup of the wallet file is the only way.

If the wallet is new, in most cases the 12 or 24 words seed is almost enough.
In theory you should also know the derivation path, that tells some more details, since based on the seed there can be made a lot of addresses in a lot of ways.
If you don't do anything unusual with the wallet (like for example creation of wallet #2, or #3 at Ledger, or 2FA at Electrum), this should simply mean that you have to know the first letter of your address.

Keep in mind that if you know what addresses hold money, saving their private keys is also an option.
Also, a simple way to know if you are keeping the right seed and info is to try to re-create the wallet yourself.

If you want less-generic information, best it to also tell what wallet you plan to use  Wink
7293  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I created the best database of notable Bitcoin skeptics on the Internet on: April 02, 2021, 08:01:04 AM
but trying to make these skeptics look hypocritical when they suddenly become more engaged and retract their stance on bitcoin.

Aren't they already hypocrites? Just look at Peter Schiff posting quite often about Bitcoin, hence keeping a close eye on it and also having "family member" conveniently investing into Bitcoin.
7294  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Fidelity is filing a Bitcoin ETF! on: April 01, 2021, 02:01:34 PM
Although I like to hear about businesses around Bitcoin, even if some don't work with actual Bitcoin (at least they give Bitcoin more legitimacy), ETFs are no longer "wow". Still nice, but not "wow".
And I guess that it's no longer a news with potential to affect the price either  Grin

But yes, it's nice to have; let's see if it'll get approved though.
7295  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 01, 2021, 01:50:15 PM
Easter long week-end comes. I wonder what's going to happen with the price when a big number of professional traders will be staying offline.

Any expectations?

Lots of people expect a dump to be honest boys. We’ll supposedly then recover to current price levels by Tuesday.

I guess that I like to piss against the wind then Grin
I expect a pump. Whether a dump will happen before or after that, I don't know though.

From what I see... I would not rely much on this guy's predictions Smiley
He's just following the trend and adjusting his expectations by that.
Good call with the newer article, @tinopener
7297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: sharply diverged expectations for bitcoin on: April 01, 2021, 01:36:50 PM
All I can say that the survey shows people's expectations rather cautious. Anything else is weak speculation.

1. There are too few people answering to the survey to actually matter the region/country and such.
2. Since I expect that the survey was made before December 2020, hence at under $20k/BTC, I think that people were not expecting to rise so high so fast. Keep in mind that most of 2020 the price was under 13k.

So somebody made a poor survey, long enough so the results are irrelevant now, and twisted the results to make a clickbait article. Wow.



PS. In January 2020, at under 7200$, what expected price would have you been writing down in such a survey?
7298  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 01, 2021, 12:33:17 PM
Ranging between $58,000 & $59,600

I wonder if banned users have fNFTs created for them.  For a piece of salacious forum history, what would you pay for an alia scandal fNFT autographed by nullius?  What a stunning piece to add to your collection!

I've noticed fNFTs of game-protect being transacted here and there.
I guess that this answers the question  Wink
7300  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could we crowdfund a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto? on: April 01, 2021, 12:10:46 PM
if every bitcoin/crypto friend contribute even a small amount, we would have the money tomorrow.

I think that the first problem is not the money. I think that the first problem is a proper script.
Maybe you should start with gathering stories, which, if you want it proper documentary, have to be well checked to be true.
