761  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 05, 2023, 06:42:39 AM
Chelsea's instability will be tested again by tottenham. Yes, after being embarrassed by Brentford, chelsea faces a tough match in the 11th week. I don't have high hopes because Spurs surely want to snatch the top spot in the standings currently held by Man City. Spurs are still too strong for chelsea, and the likelihood of Tottenham Hotspur winning is very high. Maybe Son will be the central player in tonight's match against Chelsea.

I predict this match will take place with tight tension. Firstly due to testing Chelsea's instability after getting unsatisfactory results this season. Second, because of Tottenham's desire to return to the top and maintain the positive trend that has not been defeated at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Chelsea once lost with a score of 2-0 at Tottenham's new stadium and Chelsea doesn't want to get the same result again in this match.

I think the draw between chelsea and Arsenal a few weeks ago wasn't an improvement in Chelsea's performance but an unexpected drop in Arsenal's form, as they also lost to Newcastle. Arsenal's first loss was in the hands of Newcastle, which was a game I didn't predict. This solidifies my decision to bet on Tottenham's victory.

I have provided predictions for the results of this two-team London derby match. A draw is the most likely outcome due to several considerations.
Another concern from me is that Chelsea might get a win amidst their unstable performance.
The performance of several Chelsea players such as Palmer and Enzo is what makes me think Chelsea is able to refute the perception that they are not what many people expect.

Nothing stands out. Both are the same in condition and performance.

Izin om.

Bukan tentang alat dan perangkat mining yang terkenal mahal atau butuh biaya besar. Saya ingin berdiskusi tentang tawaran perusahan-perusahaan mengenai solusi bagi orang yang ingin melakukan mining tanpa biaya mahal dengan sebutan Cloud Mining.
Penjelasan cloud mining oleh video coinvestasi sekilas menarik perhatian saya karena kelebihan cloud mining tidak perlu membeli dan instalasi alat, cukup membeli kontrak mining saja.

Lanjutnya di video mereka menjelaskan melakukan cloud mining ada plus minusnya. Kekurangannya ketika kontraknya belum habis dan mining dipastikan tidak akan mendatangkan profit, orang yang sudah membeli kontrak pada perusahan tersebut harus menunggu sampai kontrak selesai.
Membeli kontrak mining kepada perusahaan seperti itu apakah dapat dipercaya?

Argentina Presidential candidate, Sergio Massa said that he will begin bitcoin mining with the use of the natural gas which are in excess from the oil producing fields, he's one of the presidential candidates across the world aside the other candidate for US presidential race that have shown interest in bitcoin and wish to render every of their necessary support to see that it's adoption is widely available for everyone to make decision on.

Many presidential candidates campaigning for Bitcoin are increasingly making people want to learn about Bitcoin, especially people who are in the candidate ranks, even though the end of the Bitcoin campaign is predicted to be only to win the votes of the Bitcoin supporting community.

For example, American presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy displayed a QR code for payment of donations and said he would make the 2024 election a referendum on fiat currency.
What do they care about everything that was said about Bitcoin during the campaign after being elected. Everything can change because politicians' mouths are very sweet when they utter a series of words[1].
No one has dared to act like Nayib Bukele in El Salvador towards Bitcoin even though there are groups who are against his decision.

I would be happy if Bitcoin was campaigned in various spaces so that people who don't want to care about the convenience of Bitcoin in the payment system can judge for themselves the fiat currency payment system.

765  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: GUIDE:Important factors to take into account while choosing a wallet on: November 04, 2023, 05:49:03 AM
My question is whether just looking at the availability of features such as open source before looking at other features including the Replace-by-Fee and Sign and verify a message features without paying attention to the authenticity behind the mask of open source is dangerous?
If a wallet is open-source, but you are not sure whether its secure or not, you can make a new topic in this forum and ask people about the wallet. If the code has been reviewed by many people and the no vulnerability has been reported, it's probably secure. It's possible that there's a vulnerability that hasn't been discovered yet, but if many people have reviewed the code and the wallet is well-known enough, that's unlikely.

Inspection and testing of code tends to be neglected. Users only view and search for available features. If the wallet is open source and supports several other features, then stop there and decide that the wallet is worth using and will be the wallet that will be used for storing assets.
For me, this is a phenomenon that can have a bad impact other than wallet users who really understand the science of coding and not the right answer leading to a solution.


✂️
I say when choosing a wallet there are certain red lines that you don't want the project to cross and if it does, you won't choose it. If it doesn't, then you can start thinking about maybe choosing it. In other words you eliminate the undesirables then choose the best option from what remains.
For example if a wallet is closed source, that is a red line so it is not even considered even if it has all the features in the world.

Closed source is on my boycott list even though the wallet has a lot of users because it supports all the feature requirements I want even though the wallet is a hardware device that is not close to an internet connection.

I will continue to look for answers on how to prove the authenticity behind the facade of open source displayed other than on tested wallets like Eletrum.
766  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: GUIDE:Important factors to take into account while choosing a wallet on: November 03, 2023, 11:36:34 AM
when it comes to the choice of wallet, always make sure that it is open source.
This part may be a little tricky specially if the "company" behind the wallet is trying to fool people. There are a couple of ways closed source wallets use to pretend they are open source.
- One way is to open up a GitHub account and put some code on there. It could be an older version of the wallet that is no longer updated or it usually is only part of the wallet code like the backend instead of the entire thing. People checking this on GitHub would think it is 100% open source when it is not true.
- Another way is to publish the entire code but the code has nothing to do with the binaries they release. For example there are some wallets specially the mobile wallets that have a published source code but the code is not updated with their releases! In other words they release a new version but when you check their code, you see no activity!

This is why having reproducible builds is important.

People tend to choose a wallet when the important features they want are available so that further testing is no longer a concern. Testing the authenticity of open source is in a way neglected due to ignorance in testing it like I still don't know about the science of code.
Another tendency for people to choose a wallet is due to the number of users and the trust score in the application.

My question is whether just looking at the availability of features such as open source before looking at other features including the Replace-by-Fee and Sign and verify a message features without paying attention to the authenticity behind the mask of open source is dangerous?
The types of wallets such as Electrum or mobile wallets that are recommended may not be included in my question because they have been proven to be good if we download not from a phishing link.

Are you here and still unsure whether bitcoin is the right asset to invest in, well, just start accumulating bitcoin today before it's too late, if you feel you are too old and don't have any need for bitcoin, you sure need bitcoin for the generation coming through you, accumulate bitcoin for them, it's a legacy they will live to forever remember you for.

Doubtful on Bitcoin, no. There is no doubt about Bitcoin as an investment asset even though I am still a baby in my experience about Bitcoin. But thanks to the openness of the information space that exists due to internet access, I don't doubt Bitcoin as an investment asset. Trust in Bitcoin is increasing due to the recorded history of what, why, how and for what Bitcoin was created.

I'm not sure how long I'll be able to breathe, but I plan to make Bitcoin a legacy that will be passed on to the next generation when I have time to start a family and have children.

So for now I have not thought about the purpose of collecting for my next generation. Now I'm thinking about how I can use Bitcoin even though I can't use Bitcoin as money to make payments.
Because I can't use it as money because there is a ban, one of the real benefits I can feel now is using it as a long-term investment asset by becoming a holder while enjoying the remaining 7% that has not been mined.
I Love Bitcoin and thanks Satoshi.
768  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin is magic internet money on: November 02, 2023, 12:04:59 PM
and I believe that one day it will replace any currency after all the mining is finished then there will be a scarcity for bitcoin so it will continue to increase. This is very different from fiat which loses value every year.

I don't think that will happen because competition between countries' currencies continues and Bitcoin is difficult to accept and use as a substitute for the country's official currency, even though there are countries that have legalized Bitcoin as legal tender, such as El Salvador.
I also think that Bitcoin is only used to balance the price of one currency. This nature is uncertain and not necessarily true.

Until now only BTC is the strongest, even the government is 100% believed to be unable to do anything to kill BTC. Apart from that, BTC cannot become extinct if the world is experiencing the most serious economic crisis. If there is still only one active internet, BTC can still be accessed.

It stands to reason that there is no government ability to shut down Bitcoin as long as internet access remains.
Turning off internet access is something that is impossible for any government to do because with the internet they work to take care of all the country's needs.

Time will always be valuable in every opportunity we go through. Time is valuable if we are busy with work that brings us to a gradual process of progress from day to day.
Imagine how we lose because we don't make good use of our time to make ourselves better in setting the targets we want to achieve.

The word late and various incidents often become reasons that fill a person's thoughts to limit themselves from continuing with the targets they want to achieve. They forget even though time keeps turning and never stops.
OP. Congratulations on your achievement. I have a long-term target and will not stop even though in the process I experience difficulties in achieving it.

Even though it was only the Carabao Cup, Newcastle managed to knock Manchester United out battered at Old Trafford.
Newcastle United has the right to be happy because winning three goals without reply at Old Trafford made Manchester United remind of the gloomy moment that occurred around 61 years ago because they lost three goals in a row at Old Trafford.

For the Toon Army, this victory is valuable capital to face Arsenal in St. James's Park next week in the premier league.
Initially, Ten Hag thought this match was trivial, but after conceding 2 goals, Ten Hag played Bruno and Rashford with the aim of coming back. Turns out it didn't work. Instead, the Red Devils conceded the third goal.

Subject: The difference between bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is an electronic payment system that is based on cryptography and allows people to make transactions without a third party as a witness. My source of reference about Bitcoin is the white paper. I mentioned it so I don't plagiarize.

For me, Bitcoin with the abbreviation BTC is currency.
Cryptocurrencies are thousands of names and types of coins and tokens that imitate Bitcoin and try to compete with Bitcoin.

Easy and simple.Yes. That's the difference between Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in my opinion.

Sudah seharusnya peringatan ini dikenang karena protokol Bitcoin dimulai pada 2009.

Melalui forum SFI ini, mari kita jaga dan rawat warisan Satoshi Nakamoto.

Tinggalkan pesan perayaan ke-15 disini

Geniusnya Satoshi Nakamoto tidak sekedar genius. Dia mempraktekkan disiplin ilmu pengetahuannya secara ilmiah.

Sebelum Bitcoin yang disingkat BTC diluncurkan sebagai mata uang digital, Satoshi meluncurkan whitepaper lebih awal untuk dibaca oleh publik bahwa sebuah mata uang baru yang berbasis bukti kriptografi untuk menggantikan sistem kepercayaan, memungkinkan dua pihak dengan sukarela melakukan transaksi secara langsung tanpa memerlukan pihak ketiga sebagai saksi.

Itulah yang saya ketahui yang ditulis pada pendahuluan whitepaper Bitcoin hasil terjemahan Christopher Tahir, Gregorius Airlangga & K Hendrawan.

Tidak sekedar mata uang uang, penggunaan Bitcoin yang diawali dengan whitepaper juga menjadi aset investasi.
Semoga Bitcoin terus menjadi mata uang dan aset investasi sampai kapapun.
Terimakasih Satoshi Nakamoto dari saya Aprilio.

We can be friends with anyone without choosing, what we need to do is know the limits of friendship, it is true that we need to test them before giving them more trust, but in my opinion, even without testing them, if they really have evil intentions towards us then they will visible by itself without us needing to test them. You are right that there are some friends who we cannot give full trust to because they don't deserve it from us and there are also some who we can give full trust to, because we have spent a lot of time with them, both happy and unhappy.

Not all wealth is good for us. Sometimes avoiding the crowd allows us to progress further. Not when the atmosphere is busy, but when we are alone, we can find the answer.
We don't need to extend it because we have a view on how to maintain a friendly relationship with a view on how to manage finances in living life.

Expenditures must be limited and minimized as best as possible. Not to make yourself stingy in giving, but because there are other things that need to be prepared. Maybe preparations for starting a family or other preparations that we need. For those of us who are still decades old, OP's story is an interesting thing to experience.

Bite off as much as you can chew.

I add from the blockhair data with the chart that the BTC transaction fee per transaction is quite low even though the Bitcoin price has been relatively high since September.

Pay attention and compare the two charts below to add to what is already in the post above.


Lowest priority mempool 5 sat/vB [approx. $0.24]. Medium 7 sat/vB [$0.34] and High Priority 9 sat/vB [$0.43].

You succeeded in bringing me into your story. What's interesting about your story is about how you should make friends and manage your finances well. The phrase and advice that we often get from loved ones is that friends can make you rich and friends can make you suffer.
Money is like magic that can bewitch situations in an instant.
When we have a lot of money which makes it easier for us to have the needs we want, our friends can increase from just a few people.

Here, I want to convey that you have had an extraordinary experience. Hopefully this experience can make you a greater person with the skills you have.
Not all friends you consider friends are really friends. There is only one in ten friends who is a true friend.

Test them one by one and you have done well with them.
Start with new habits and don't give them anger for what they have done for you. On the other hand, you also don't need to feel sad about what you have given them.
Say thank you to those you once considered friends.

There are friends who are allowed to be brought to the fence of the house. There are friends who are only allowed to enter the house. There are friends who can exchange things with each other.
Hopefully you understand what I mean.
777  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Understand how electrum wallets work on: October 31, 2023, 08:11:32 AM
I received deposits on my electrum wallet which was in watch only mode.  Looks like the electrum wallet created a new address and send my coins there.

Electrum is not a robot that can operate transactions itself. Transactions can occur if there is an action taken by the wallet owner.
It doesn't make sense for Electrum to carry out transactions like you claim that Electrum combines UTXO and sends your coins to a new address if you don't do it yourself.


However its unclear how do I spend now given those funds were transferred to another address for privacy.Can someone guide?

This is what makes it unclear for you to make incorrect assumptions about using the Electrum wallet. I think, the error lies in the way you use Electrum.
Before using a wallet, learn how to operate it properly and correctly.

I just went ahead and reinforced as already explained that they were right.

Don't defend a principle if it is wrong. In learning, when an explanation has stronger truth, acknowledge it and take it.

Bellingham continues his positive trend as Real Madrid's best purchase. He buried the hopes of thousands of Barcelona supporters who packed the Camp Nou stadium.
I'm not a Madrid fan but I know that their club will look great this season because the purchases made by Madrid are not really disappointing, especially if they succeed in adding Mbappe to the front line, Madrid will definitely be a terrible club for their opponents, unfortunately Mbappe is not right yet. Really joining this club, whatever it is, Madrid's victory is well deserved.

Even spending on Real Madrid players is not that big. Only six players were included in the transfer list in the yesterday transfer window. Some of the players coming in are on loan, like Kepa.

Bellingham came to the Santiago Bernabeu and quickly adapted to the team, already aligning himself with legends who once wore Real Madrid uniforms such as Cristiano Ronaldo, who was brought in from Manchester United.
It is worth recognizing that people saw the talent that Bellingham had.

Bellingham is a smart player owned by Real Madrid. Because of Bellingham, Vinicius' rays began to sink.
780  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Simple Reason Why Bitcoin is not Money on: October 30, 2023, 10:31:43 AM
✂️
The legal means of payment determined by the state are fiat currencies such as USD, Rupiah, Euro, Rubber, Yuan, Yen and so on. However, if the exchange or bartering depends on both parties, if you want to barter with a friend regarding goods or services, that is also legal (for example, bartering gold and shoes or gold with other collectibles or collectibles with collectibles). However, when it comes to legal payments, the only thing that is determined by the state is to use the fiat currency of each country.

In relation to the general definition of money, do you think it is correct as I know it?
Money is a legal medium of exchange and is recognized by a country, such as the types you mentioned, starting from dollars, euros, rupiah and others.

Before the fiat currency system was in operation, the coins used were gold and silver or a barter system was used.

Gold and silver were the means of exchange in ancient times, history confirms that they were often used in the barter system.
Let's return to the discussion of money and the OP's question about why Bitcoin is not money. For me, Bitcoin is money that can be used as a medium of exchange to buy goods for those who use it.
