761  Economy / Lending / Re: Need 6$ to 15$ loan any amount in this area for 2 to 7 days max - x2 back return on: January 07, 2024, 06:05:34 AM
This area of the forum never ceases to amaze me. You registered in 2015 and you ask for crappy $6 on a loan?

Of course, if someone lends them to you they don't have much to lose, but seeing how infrequently you post on the forum you don't give confidence that you can disappear and not come back here.
762  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the bull run begun ? on: January 07, 2024, 05:55:06 AM
If you meant that will bitcoin and crypto continue going up in price from here, I really don't know. If I knew when the prices would go up, I'd go all in with leverage lol. But alas, we can't predict the future so we should position our funds carefully.

The fact that we cannot predict the future with accuracy does not mean that we cannot make probabilistic predictions that are accurate most of the time. In this sense, it is quite a bit more likely that the price of Bitcoin will be higher than it is now a year from now than it will be lower. Halving, the historical pattern or the moderation of central bank rate policies are strong arguments for thinking so.

It depends on how we define the bull run, but I would say we are more likely at the beginning.
763  Economy / Reputation / Re: DT1 and DT2 members who have negative feedback (or are banned) on: January 07, 2024, 05:45:20 AM
I like to think that being conservative with negative tags is what contributed to me having the highest DT "approval ratings".

I'd say that's only part of the success, because third on that list is The Sceptical Chymist, who isn't exactly conservative with his feedback, though perhaps over the years he has moderated.

Having written the guide to the correct use of the trust system I think that also carries a lot of weight.
764  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: New Crypto Tax Law In US 10k+ Transactions Must Report to IRS in 15 Days on: January 07, 2024, 05:36:27 AM
Honestly how are they going to enforce this strict policy?

In cases of P2P transactions they will not be able to, but where one of the parties is a company, they will have to report them. Although $10K is pretty good, in the EU they want to leave the threshold at only €1K.

EU lawmakers impose €1,000 cap on anonymous crypto, cash transactions
765  Economy / Reputation / Re: [banned mixer], icopress, suspected of ponzi or exit scam! on: January 07, 2024, 05:23:54 AM
Why am I not surprised that a thread that was going about Timelord2067 now you suddenly change the title to an alleged [banned mixer] scam? Nothing surprises me from you anymore, I guess. It was explained to you in the other thread, what you say is false, i.e. this:

So basically not only they are getting away with the ban by exploiting a loophole, they are now offering at least %30 ROI per month?

He explained it to you well joker_josue:

What the page says is that you can earn up to 34%. In other words, you can earn between 1% and 34%. It does not guarantee this profitability. This will certainly depend on the money invested and the volume of business that the platform has.

But you go about your business.

766  Economy / Economics / Re: 4 COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MADE WITH THEIR FINANCES LAST YEAR THAT SHOULD BE AVOID on: January 06, 2024, 05:18:25 AM
These are not bad tips, what is wrong is the order in which they are given and that they are incomplete. The first one should be to track your expenses, in addition to your income, that is to create a budget. This will help you not to overspend, and then you will be able to save for an emergency fund and then invest, although there would be an intermediate step which is to get rid of consumer debts.

For someone new, as I said, they are not bad, but for me, who has been interested in and practicing personal finance for years, they have basic errors.
767  Economy / Gambling / Re: UNREAL!! Sportsbet.io pays out a $42,000,000 USDT Casino WIN!! on: January 06, 2024, 05:08:13 AM
I'm really  still asking, is this really real or engineering, $42 million is a huge win, he's a new billionaire born of gambling, LOL

Well, let's not exaggerate. A billionaire would have made $1K million, but $42 million is not bad at all, I wish I could have gotten it.

Where in the world that there is such kind of winning and paid by gambling site? paying 42 million dollars for a single player/single win is such the biggest gambling win I have ever heard and only in Sportsbet.io.

It makes me wonder what the turnover of sportsbet.io will be. Searching the internet I see that the annual revenue is about $7 million, which does not fit with such a high payout. I guess it's a pot that has been building up over the years and the money has been kept separate, otherwise there's no way to explain it.
768  Economy / Economics / Re: If you want to get rich, you have to become immune to the money.......! on: January 06, 2024, 04:58:24 AM
What a load of influencer bullshit.

Youtube videos about money tend to pay better than in other areas, than if you talk about flowers or chess for example. That's why you find a lot of videos on how to get rich, and financial advice in general, some with useful tips and others, like these, with a lot of bullshit that is useless.

If you want to get rich, you'd better follow a proven method, starting by spending less than you earn, and increasing income, leaving you with immunity and desire bullshit.
769  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Someone just sent 26 BTC to genesis block address on: January 06, 2024, 04:52:23 AM
In case it is not a mistake, it is clear that the sender has much more than that. There are those who send a few satoshis to the genesis block address because for them it is nothing and there are those who have so much money that they can afford to waste 26 Bitcoin.

If it is a mistake, or a victim of malware, it would be another matter.
770  Economy / Reputation / Re: @Lucius accusations: is there hope for all newbies? on: January 06, 2024, 04:38:16 AM
Once you prove you're here to contribute meaningfully, attitudes will thaw.  Till then keep your posts short and sweet. 

I don't agree with that. He has done nothing wrong, therefore he can write the posts as he pleases, long or short. Earning trust has nothing to do with how he writes the posts.
771  Economy / Services / Re: Signature space for rent! Taking offers on: January 05, 2024, 11:02:06 AM
Your post history consist of 1-3 liner generic campaign manager type of posts, why would anyone hire you other than yourself? Lol

I can think of a million reasons why I would hire Hhampuz over this guy:

A deranged troll signature, avatar, personal message for rent!

You obviously are not able to see that as he manages many campaigns, he creates the OP and every time he writes a 1-3 liner to say that payments have been made for example the thread gets bumped and his OP, which is what people who visit it the first time see, as well. That is very good exposure for advertisers and not as a simple 1 liner on page 34 of a generic thread in Bitcoin Discussion or Gambling.

You don't see that any more than you see that for an advertiser it is very good to hire the second most trusted account on the forum, with 120 positive feedbacks.

I rather think you are jealous.

772  Economy / Economics / Re: And the most worthless fiat currency of 2023 was: The Iranian Rial! on: January 05, 2024, 06:30:51 AM
How is the currency of Iran so low though? Aren't they an oil country?

It's not so much what they have as what they do with it. The country with the most reserves in the world is Venezuela:

https://www.worldometers.info/oil/oil-reserves-by-country/

But if you have a shitty policy that attacks business, expels talent, suffocates private initiative with taxes and gives subsidies to people for not working, which you finance by printing money at a much faster speed than the dollar or the euro, in the end what you have is a shitty country where there has been a mass exodus by the millions, where the population is starving, and in the top of the most dangerous in the world among those where there is no war. But politicians keep criticizing the US and the dollar, as if theirs were much better.

In this case I am talking about Venezuela, because I am not so familiar with the situation in Iran, but I am sure that some of the exposed applies to Iran as well.
773  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the high fee affecting the rate of adoption of Bitcoin? on: January 05, 2024, 06:18:19 AM
Curious that you open this thread when there has been a considerable drop in fees, needing only about 50 sat/vByte for quick confirmation. It would make more sense when they were at 200.

I don't think this episode is going to affect Bitcoin adoption because I don't think it's going to be used to pay for coffees. It is going to be used, as it is already being used, as a store of value and to make payments of certain amounts. If fees, regardless of the recent spam problem, tend to go up over time, the average amount of payments on the blockchain will also tend to go up.
774  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Are Coinbase now immortal? on: January 05, 2024, 06:12:04 AM
Istria with Terra may repeat itself. 5.1% is not 20% per annum, but it is a very large profit that no bank in the US gives on deposits.

This is not true. I just searched for "interest for deposits in US banks" and in less than a minute I found this:

https://www.depositaccounts.com/savings/

where you find a lot of options between 4.35% and 5.50% APY.

Considering that the FED gives 5.5% is not so far-fetched either, simply by doing arbitrage Coinbase would earn 0.4%.
775  Economy / Reputation / Re: Timelord2067, can you clarify please before I post a flag on you? on: January 05, 2024, 06:04:55 AM
~snip

Among so much nonsense it is not clear to me if in the end you are going to make a fool of yourself by creating a flag against Timelord2067 in the same way you have made a fool of yourself by creating one against icopress. I already told you that praying doesn't work for things in this life, maybe it works for the next one, but until we don't pass away we can't know.

Timelord2067 has questionable behaviors and in fact I have him on ignore, but there are several people in the forum who have made economic deals with him and left positive feedback for it, so a flag, which has to be created for economic reasons and not for issues of use of the trust system, looks pretty ridiculous too.
776  Economy / Reputation / Re: What is going on??? on: January 05, 2024, 05:55:52 AM
I don't think it is due to a generalized problem, considering that the first case occurred six months ago, the second one a month ago and the third one yesterday. And even more so if we question any of the three stories. As you have been told repeatedly, by asking for a signed message you avoid problems, and as I see you already did yesterday in the case of ryzaadit.
777  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I see many users talk about trading but does anyone here actually trading? on: January 04, 2024, 06:22:58 AM
In my case I have never done intraday trading, but that is not the only type of trading. I have done medium term trading, buying to sell after weeks or months, and I was lucky with it. But in the end the simplest and least risky thing to do is to buy premium assets and invest for the long term. It is a very safe way to earn wealth without complication.
778  Economy / Economics / Re: Habits that can lead to your financial failure in 2024 on: January 04, 2024, 06:16:16 AM
More than 90% of the financial problems people have are due to two reasons: buying a house beyond their means, buying a car beyond their means, or both. It can also be summarized in that the main problem is spending more than you earn, and buying houses or cars beyond your means leads to this.

The rest of the tips are not bad, but they do not address the main issue.
779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: January 04, 2024, 05:28:42 AM
It's not magical, it's psychological.

This is the key. They know they shouldn't keep betting, but a kind of compulsion drives them to do so. As for what the OP asks where they get the money to keep doing it, there are many ways, savings, quick loans, credit cards, selling things. All to keep fueling their addiction. In this they are not much different from a drug addict, the most notable difference being that they do not consume a substance, it is the brain that secretes it.
780  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Inverse Cramer Strikes Again on: January 04, 2024, 05:14:17 AM
There are many more examples. I remember when I was still buying individual stocks talking about how well AT&T was doing and how safe the dividend was, shortly before the board of directors announced the dividend cut (after 35 years of consecutive raises). After that he went on a rant against the board, logically. Funny how a guy with so many failed predictions is so popular. That's probably why there are a lot of people who enjoy watching him.
