I'm not sure I've seen any member with that title, except you're trying to hint us that theymos is cooking up something in that regard.

Anyway, talking about prominence; I think there are a few members here who've shown cause to that effect by the way they've carried themselves and made relevant contributions in helping other users get it going. Some have proved their trustworthiness and dependability over the years. It takes a lot to get people online to trust you in an anonymous forum like this. If anyone is able to do that, then they can be called prominent. Again, there are those who've developed one software or the other to ensure that this forum runs smoothly. Some are old members while others are new who just got on board and went straight to work like the user who created the "OP" tag that appears on every topic starter.

OP, both are good. Doing any of the two (or both) will depend on you and your level of exposure to it (them). However, if you're a greenhorn in this industry I suggest you just buy and hodl. Don't trade, except you've got any trading skills (I doubt, anyway, if you've).

Kevin's (toasty) story is a very lengthy one but in all I suspect he truly was into something. Though he denied/isolated himself at a point from the hacker and claimed he was merely into trading and only profited from a failed system. If he wasn't into something fishy, why did he write MT Gox? I believe his conscience pricked him to text MT Fox on that to appease himself. From the comments on that thread, we could even read some of the users throwing shades at him.

Toasty said he already transferred the Bitcoin to a private wallet. So, he had access to it; except he mismanaged it later or his wallet got hacked.

Being rich is relative. Again, we're yet to come to the end of 2023 to ascertain what amount per the price of Bitcoin you're looking at to guage who's rich or not. At the current price, Bitcoin is trading slightly above $30k. It wasn't so a few weeks ago. It can even go pass that a few weeks from now or relapse to the $20k region again. In my country, $30k is a substantial amount of money, and yes we can describe someone hodling one Bitcoin as rich in my country. This, of course, won't be the reality in other countries.

I think $300kish is excessively ambitious. I'm speculating anything slightly above $120k. Let's say $120k – $150k. Anything above that is a bonus but definitely I don't see it get to $300k. If that ever happens this coming bull rally, it will surely make the world go gaga and Bitcoin will expectedly have a troop of fresh admirers again like it did with the 2017 ATH.

Taking about getting ready for the next bull run, this has been said repeatedly. Those who aren't keeping Bitcoin/altcoins by the side will have themselves to blame when the rally begins properly.

Those are expected newbie errors and I can't begrudge them. Most of them won't know how to get on the search engine, let alone know where to search. Nonetheless, I still see some of the old members who are guilty of this same error.

As a newbie, I felt nothing. Now, I would feel embarrassed if it happens because I'm expected to first search through keywords to find out if such a topic had already been talked about here.

The duration to this thing isn't cast in stone. There isn't any specific time to it. Sometimes I spend a few days munching on an issue; the thought of whatever it's, and to make up my mind whether to put it up here or just bury the thought. You know, it's not everything that should make headline. Some things are better left in private than headline them in a public forum.

That would mean that your wife also has an account here, right? That's good as we need more active participation from the female clan. Happy celebration and birthday congratulations on your daughter's birthday.

This should scare you to completely rely on this forum for sustenance. Why not consider other online income generating engagements so you can have additional sources of income? Even if you or your wife aren't down with offline businesses, you can try trading or writing and editing on sites offering them. You can also diversify your trading into Forex trading and Stocks. Anything away from this forum that can make you earn should be considered.

In that case, it could be that Binance uses the ID to bind the account as a safety mechanism for first timers if it never gets to ask for it any further. That won't be any stress if that's the way.

Oh, maybe that's why I haven't got that issue then as I use the lite version of its app. Again, I think I'm better off not updating my app. I hate stress.

My brain is already swerving in trying to memorize all that instructions. I haven't made any transaction using the Binance ID. I simply use the regular channel, the old school way. Why go through a hassle and risk making a mistake just because I want to save a few sats in commission? I'm indifferent following through that right now but thanks for bringing such to the public domain. Maybe when the wildfire catches on, I might reconsider my old school pattern and join the bandwagon.

Whatever he or anyone says about Bitcoin now should be taken with a pinch of salt. No one should be moved by any FUD that comes up because it can only be a strategy to dip the market by whales to buy back cheap. By the way, who the heck is Cramer?

It should, of course. I don't see any other way for Bitcoin than to go north. The halving breeze should be in the air for the taking now and it's exciting investors, the market is also coming up lively once again. Nothing beats this feeling and expectation.

That's nostalgic, sincerely. That memory is coming back now to me. I'm reflecting on how that feature used to show areas one was posting in and what percentage of one's posts went into what section of the forum and all that. I'm sure campaign managers would've been using it were it still active now in their selection to sieve through applications in finding out were users are posting.

Don't you think that's becoming often this day with BTT site going offline more rapidly?

I've had a few instances where some members disagreed with my posts but still went ahead to merit them. I've also seen that happen with other members too. There are merit sources who are dispassionate about how they distribute their merit. To these dispassionate merit sources, they would rather consider the content and context of comments rather than the posters. So, don't sweat about that. Even if those you think you've issues with don't merit your posts, there will be others who will merit them. Just make constructive posts and leave whatever happens next to providence.

I've heard people in various gatherings say that information isn't necessarily power until it's activated, and I believe that. Some have access to certain privileged information that can change their fortunes overnight but get laid-back executing such. They expectedly will remain on the same level as those who are also completely ignorant of that information.

Nothing beats experience. Those who've fallen victims to scam should've that experience and know how to beat them at their game next time. Sadly, that isn't the case as most times the victims repeatedly fall to the same scam but packaged in a different module.

I don't know how you or any other user, including me, view this thing concerning bounty hunters. The way I see them flock and flood the bounty section, stampeding one another to submit POA you would begin to think otherwise that it's profitable to partake of bounties. Perhaps, there's something they're doing they aren't telling us. As for me, the era I participated in bounties weren't smooth.

Remove faucets as earning opportunities for they aren't. Gone were the days when faucet made people a hell of money. It's not so this day.

Nope, I don't think it has anything to do with rank because I also experience it from time to time. However, reading what user Cantsay said; I guess that's the likely cause.

I think I will start making use of that now. I used to think it was mainly for archiving posts.

WB is a shrewd businessman. That's the way I like to view him. He makes a decision and sees that decision as what can affect his finances, he quietly retreats without openly recounting. If WB were still holding his anti-Bitcoin view, he would've pulled out of NuBank. I don't begrudge him his decision. It's his money and his choice to make. One thing I've come to hold with close conviction is that no one should blindly follow another when it comes to cryptos. No one knows it all.

That reminds me of a certain serving politician in my country, one of the worst of them all – corrupt to the teeth. The said politician claimed he never changed his phone for years but that doesn't make any difference as he's not in anyway better than those who change theirs on a regular.

That man can outlive Methuselah 🧐

Thank you, Best_Change for that reminder. This is a second time we're getting that warning. Does it mean there are members of our campaign who still indulge in that? If there are, I think it will be better to alert them on this by also sending them caution note in pm. Maybe some do it unconsciously, who knows.

Anyone who bought at the current ATH of $69k shouldn't be in a hurry to sell off once price hits their entry price. They should target anything above $100k. Definitely (and expectedly, anyway), the new ATH that should happen in 2025 won't be anything short of $100k. That price level is easily achievable.

The rectangular tool you used to mark out resistance area, is it hand drawn or it's an indicator that plots by itself? I like the way it gives the chart a fore knowledge of where price is headed.

But of course, there will definitely be that pressure at that level. You've to know that those who are buying now at $26k – $28k+ will be on massive profit when Bitcoin hits $69k and they may not have the need to wait for $100k to take profit. Also, there are those who bought at ATH who won't hesitate to sell off once price gets to their entry point.

All this paranoia with Bitcoin is what even makes it scary for some to buy as they're more likely to assume that they will become targets once they've some Bitcoin. Can we just tone this unnecessary anxiety down a bit? Shouldn't we begin to see Bitcoin as just an acquisition rather than that which we acquire to inflict us with avoidable tension? Even those who've less than 1 Bitcoin will pick up this line of thought and begin to imagine that someone is after them.

Except you're a time traveller, I ain't sure such event has ever happened to the point that it's now historical. Perhaps what you're seeking is a strong competitor for Bitcoin. We could've such in decades to come as I believe nothing is impossible in this crypto space but it will take a long time to come. This current dispensation is madly in love with Bitcoin and it will be very difficult to shift such attention on Bitcoin. Even ETH with all its utilities still hasn't come close to Bitcoin. Just look for a cheap token with utility and invest in now for the bull run. Forget targeting what coin could kill Bitcoin.

Your post is indeed legendary and heroic 😂
