This reminded me that you always should look at the URL because it's the most common thing that we don't have pay it any attention anymore, I checked the site for anomalies that might give away that it's a fraud but it seems to me that they did their assignment and some minor issues are not that noticeable. This is one of those scams that I'm more livid because it preys on people that already have a problem with their wallets, talk about kicking you when you're already down.

Did you bother to check the thread if any Rollbit's representative has replied to the Op? Or if the issue had been resolved or addressed?
The post above yours was made by Rollbit representative here and if you go through it thoroughly you'll see that he stated the reason behind Op's account being block. Obviously most of them are fake but in this case it's not and the reason is now clear to us all.


I did check, what bothered me was that it needed to be on the forum for everyone to see what was breached in the Ts and Cs so I don't get what you're so mad about, itching to add a neutral trust that I don't know what I'm talking about? Because that's the vibe I'm getting at your reply. I'm at fault too though, I should've cleared in my reply that I acknowledged that the breach has been mentioned already.

I'm kind of weirded out that OP asked for the reason for breach of Ts and Cs but it wasn't provided to the account, don't they have a right to know what rules that they've broken especially if it's obscure like having the original IP in a country that you're not allowed to operate on? Rollbit has been getting a lot of accusations lately, hopefully they clear this up and that most of them are fakes.

With the experience that you've shared, I think that it's safe to say that you aren't ready to invest in Bitcoin yet, you need to learn not just some things, you need to learn a lot of things. I would say that bitcoin is trustworthy but the sites you've visited, that's the problem, scam is still a prevalent issue in this space so it's a good thing you are skeptic when it comes to websites. For now, you just have to learn the basics, getting into bitcoin isn't a race anyway so take your time.
749  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A hilarious video that shows so many persons ignorance about bitcoin on: June 29, 2023, 01:29:57 AM
To be honest, I find their English hard to understand and I wouldn't really take seriously videos like this one because I think most of the time they just pay some money to say this or that in video. It's also curious that most of them time when people are asked with this question, no one asks back what is Bitcoin or what's the price of bitcoin or how can they exchange it, that's why I don't believe in the authenticity of these videos.
You don't take them seriously because they're comedians lmao, maybe they're half-meant but that's beside the point. The problems you pointed out are easily answered by the fact that if they were to do those things, the comedy won't be prioritized and the delivery won't be funny because they've focused too much in technicalities. To be honest, you need to have your funny bone checked because you've been looking at the video at the wrong angle.

Regarding the video, I think it's funny and it does support OP's opinion that the ignorance in bitcoin is still there but in my opinion, ignorance won't be quashed anytime soon, there's billions of people out there and millions that don't have time to use the Internet so it's understandable that some people won't know about bitcoin even if it's a decade since it's Genesis.
750  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [INFO]Hong Kong's HSBC Allows Customers to Trade Bitcoin. on: June 28, 2023, 06:47:31 AM
It is head shaking that uncle Gary, the SEC and the American government are cracking down on the cryptospace while a communist country like China are slowly allowing it through Hong Kong as the go between.

Another head shaking thought is only 2 years ago, China and Hong Kong were banning people under their jurisdictions from using crypto hehe. They were also closing people's bank accounts because they had transactions related to cryptocoin exchanges and services.

Are we in a simulation?
It's just Hongkong not China, and even if China is involved, I can sense that it's going to be the same thing that they've done in the past, it's push and pull when it comes to China but with Hongkong and their quasi and limited time autonomy, it's a different thing because Hongkong is populated by billionaires right, the money in Hongkong is just too big that they can't allow bitcoin trading there and China always do this thing, didn't they ban gambling in mainland but made it the main reason to visit Macau?
751  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your first purchase in btc: the craziest, the most moving, the most expensive on: June 28, 2023, 01:36:36 AM
Hello,

What was your first purchase in btc that was a special event for you : it was nice, cute, exciting or great. If you hodl, will you ever spend your btc ?

If you're a dreamer, what would be your dream ?
My first purchase in bitcoin is probably the Batman Black and White from Iron Studios, the price of bitcoin at that time was around 20k and I spent about 1/3 of what I hodl at that time to buy the figurine, pretty awesome purchase and worth the money I spent on it but not a moving purchase though, I don't think I have found an item that will move me anytime soon. My dream would probably to buy myself a 2-storey house entirely with bitcoin.
752  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying cheap is best formula on: June 26, 2023, 03:03:40 AM
Affordability is the most important factor when buying any class of asset. however, opting for the cheapest option may not always guarantee the best outcome. But when it comes to Bitcoin, I believe a person should buy it when he has the money regardless of the price. This way you can easily calculate the average price of purchasing.  Many major investors, like MicroStrategy, have adopted this approach.

Affordability being the most important factor is debatable because it's different for each person although you can always base your affordability on the previous price vs the current price of bitcoin. I think that the most important factor is probably time because you really can't wait for the price to go down, especially if you are new to bitcoin, you need to get in no matter the price is because you're going to either wait for the right price to go in which might never come or you get in when the price is going up and end up buying at peak then waiting for a profit but end up getting stuck because the market entered the bearish season so you end up frustrated and sell at a loss if you aren't patient.
753  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it true that if you bounce bitcoin back and forth to different wallets on: June 26, 2023, 02:21:16 AM
They're all recorded in the blockchain so you don't really become anonymous. The addresses will always be on the ledger, that's why mixers are a popular service in bitcoin and crypto space, they mix it up with other coins to obfuscate the origins which makes the coin much more anonymous than just simply making it jump to different addresses.

755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are the Predictions of Bitcoin Halving accurate? on: June 25, 2023, 12:18:25 PM
It's an estimation, each website that hosts the countdown have different clocks because all of them estimate when will that block that's going to cause the halving to be solved. To be honest, it's kind of weird that you put reliable and prediction in the same paragraph because prediction by definition should be unreliable since it's a hunch or a guess at best and reliable isn't really the best word for it. Maybe the word would probably be ballpark, inexact or approximate, maybe approximate is the best word.
756  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: A Dumb way to scam forum members on: June 25, 2023, 02:46:50 AM
Unfortunately this type of scammer will probably not disappear. He might change accounts so he is trying something new with an account that isn't painted red, but he will come back and make another silly attempt to scam members on the forum. He doesn't seem like a very smart individual so I would save his address and see if a new account posts it in the next few days. I'm almost positive he will make another attempt.
They won't and it's a good thing that they won't disappear anytime soon because these type of scammers are dumb af, this scammer didn't even try to change his account to do another scam. He definitely will change his scamming account but a bit too late since he used the same account to attempt a scam, definitely will make an attempt and hopefully use the same address to get caught again. I feel bad for people that's really sincere in asking for monetary aid to help someone who is ill, they almost always get clumped together with the scammers. It's a good thing that no one became a victim of this stupid mofo and I am happy that more people become aware of this type of scams and not falling victim to it, this person will never change no matter what probably because they've tasted the fruits of scamming before and they want more.
757  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam]: Fake 5000 BTC Gemini Airdrop on: June 25, 2023, 01:27:16 AM
Yeah, I thought this kind of scam trick from scammers are over, I usually saw this kind of modus way back from 2017-2019.

But it seems that they are not done and continue to just recycle everything, Elon Musk, the Twins and other famous crypto celebrities and using their face to create this kind of sites in hoping that someone will still fall for them this 2023.

You mentioned twitter as well, yeah still a safe heaven for them, despite Elon trying to clear out specially scams like this.
This kind of scam will never be over, the MO never changes, they all work the same way but the sophistication is what made things much better. Fake airdrop will never cease to exist for as long as there are legitimate airdrops out there promoting their own coins. I don't think that it's real celebrities that are in this kind of scheme, maybe some of them are part of it but I don't think everyone is, let's make it clear. Remember that you can easily use a celebrities picture and with AI maybe even fake the voice and the videos as if they're really promoting a scam. No matter the effort, Twitter will never rid of scams unless they do a scorch earth policy to destroy the scammers which might affect legitimate users hence called a scorch earth.
758  Other / Archival / Re: 140$ scam by Using (AiTools) in Signature Campaign on: June 24, 2023, 03:02:39 AM
Nice tools OP, but how can we be so sure that your tool is accurate? I could probably put myself as one of the testers, maybe you can try to test my posts too to see if I have written it using an AI, we need a bit of a large sample size to make sure that the accuracy of the tool is trustworthy but I digress, this kind of behavior is shitty though, using an AI to create a post and then get paid for it, real unfair for those like me that tried to squeeze their brains out to make sure that we give out at the least an informative opinion but hey, the world isn't fair, sometimes the crooked gets through the cracks. Hopefully we can hear the side of the accused.
759  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Having no money to invest in Bitcoin is even better on: June 24, 2023, 01:17:25 AM

Referring to the 2 conditions described by the OP, i think it's better not to have money first before actually investing in bitcoin. Try to imagine, if you have the money to invest in bitcoin (without knowing anything there), but at the same time the bitcoin hype is at its peak, do you have time to do more research? of course you will be afraid to miss the hype. So, i really agree with the important point stated by the OP that it is actually better not to have money first, so that we are not in a hurry and have a lot of free time to learn about bitcoin itself.
Well, what I'm trying to say is that his distinction of bitcoin is a bit narrowed because that doesn't tell the whole story, it divides them easily to the haves and have nots which is wrong because there are some people that have money to invest but are still willing to learn while they are investing, that's why I see it as kind of a bad dichotomy. I didn't claim that OP is wrong but I can't and won't prove anything because I stand by what I am talking about.
