Maybe I'm wrong since I cannot check now, but why doesn't Electrum "report" then the change address like another output in pay to many?
Electrum knows the user has Ledger and can easily handle that.

For every bitcoin maximalist there was already a scam shitcoin or ICO. And more schemes will rise.
Blaming only the maximalists means ignoring half of the reality.
I don't say altcoins are bad, but how many are actually good?

Actually humans are cheaper on long term than robots. Look at the 3rd world countries.
And the virus did hit bad those countries.
So no, this theory doesn't stand.

Almost like with cash, you don't really know.
There are companies (very few) that can do the tracking (between some limits) but you probably won't use them.
Some of the exchanges do shallow check and may lock certain inputs or deposits.
But no, you don't know the coins are really clean.

If you really want clean coins there are miners that offer fresh coins, but they cost more. Again, it's not a much used service.

All in all, the chance you know the history of your coins is small, but nobody cares much. Did you ever cared how dirty your cash is?!

OK. I don't see flu as something in loops. It's here and when the weather conditions help, it becomes stronger.
Indeed, sars-cov-2 has a chance to become like flu, but how big that chance is .. that's hard to assess now, this is something to be discussed after the vaccination will start. And then we'll see how effective the vaccines are, how big will be the part of population that'll take the vaccine and what happens in the following "season" after vaccination. If that'll be ineffective in a year, then probably we'll have the same story as with flu.

And I am telling that as long as there are plenty of bounty hunters careless enough to accept current conditions, nobody will change anything, because it shifts the risk from bounty hunters to project owners.

Do all those coins have proper development and proper use? What makes them valuable?
Questions like this need to be asked/answered.

It doesn't matter if staking brins more coins if overall the coins' value decreases.
Where the income from yield farming comes? Don't tell me that suddenly everybody needs loans in certain coin or token nobody knew about some months ago.

The speculation driven rise of price is a bubble. If the income is based on that then it's very risky. That's all.

Imho it's worse than begging: it's a way to fool people into meriting him (for a promise).

Just imagine. What if the campaign will never happen? Why would somebody advertise beer here? It can easily said the friend has change his mind and this guy remains with nice amount of merit (if enough people fall for that).

And indeed, after pointing this out, that part of the post was deleted. Scared him? 

Not your keys, not your coins.

Many newbies could indeed fall for this "offer", but beware, they usually have only some Satoshi and may be disappointed if they won't see (unrealisticly) big growth in their wallet.

On the other hand, I don't think that people holding many bitcoins for long time will go for this for 2 big reasons:
1. why risk to lose big money for small returns (when bitcoin itself gives nice returns alone)?
2. Roger Ver's site/wallet is known for scamming people into buying bcash and believing they hold Bitcoin, why would anybody sane keep their bitcoin in those guy's custody?!

Bitcoin is ok at this kind of levels, more worrying could be the too slow movement in the last 2 days (if that'll continue much longer).
Ethereum... I don't know, I feel like the investors are fed with way too much unrealistic promises to give them hope, I've read that the changes don't look too good on testnet.

Altcoins can indeed big returns, but they are also riskier than Bitcoin. "Altcoin season", "DeFi FOMO" may have been somewhat started, but that doesn't make all altcoins good for investing and even the good ones can be tricky.
So the guys with more years of investing behind them usually advise that the crypto portfolio has at least 50% Bitcoin and the rest has to be divided between multiple altcoins.

In theory this sounds great, you can sell at better prices at the exchanges and the bank-issued cards use to work better.

But... there are still plenty of banks that may not be happy to receive money from exchanges and this can go from asking questions to blocking your accounts (including the money you receive from your normal job). Bad.
Also the money transfer from exchanges may take days and maybe you just want to sell Bitcoin as late as possible before spending it.

So.. no, bank issued cards are not the best solution for money from crypto. Also keep in mind that Bitcoin card companies start striking deals directly with Visa/Mastercard (instead of using 3rd party institutions for issuing the cards) and this should make them more reliable.

I stand corrected. And impressed  


I care only about XMR/BTC. But I understand your point.


Afaik Binance has the bigger share of the volumes. https://www.worldcoinindex.com/coin/monero
So I use to get the price from Binance. And as I stated, I care only about XMR/BTC. https://bitcoinwisdom.io/markets/binance/xmrbtc

Wishful thinking is not good for business / trading (so I hope/guess that you are HODLer).
The 3.75% growth is far from 10x. I hope it'll hold and grow more. I don't dare to hope for 10x, not yet.

I did only a quick "scan".
+ You seem to be one of the few that don't have only the products that offer ref links
+ You seem to have in list cards I never heard of
- You surely missed some - at least AdvCash
- You didn't write about all the fees and also the hidden fees (like the buy/sell spread)
- You didn't write about how clean is one or another (scam accusations here and there, at least)
- You didn't make a big comparison table

There's room for improvement, but it's not so bad either.

Afaik in math you cannot decide a repeating thing is infinite only from 2 "loops".
Iirc from shool (loong ago) you need "reduction to absurdity" for this.

So for now we clearly cannot tell it'll be or not an infinite loop. I hope that a good number of humans are capable to learn. The others .. we can pray they're strong and lucky.
Also the science tries to help. Although I think that the current century's medicine is not worthy of its name (I find it closer to statistics than what medicine should be), they do try to do something - a vaccine, a cure, or at least some hope.

All in all, although it'll take much longer than the official voices want us to believe, it will surely not be infinite loop (actually humanity wouldn't even live that long), instead, sooner or later we'll get to some sort of normality.

An interesting thing is that the statistics tell that because of COVID lock down, this year there were less deaths in my country than last year.
It worth mentioning that we use(d) to be pretty much champions at deaths by road accidents.

Actually it makes sense because both share one property: scarcity.
And since scarcity makes something more and more valuable over time, people will clearly be obsessed by gold and Bitcoin.

Gold price has smaller daily variations and steadier growth, Bitcoin is newer, has huge price fluctuations and also seems to offer overall better gains over years (of course, the ones caught by 2017 FOMO rush will not agree) for the ones with strong hands (and hearth!).

Holding too much may make one bagholder.
Selling to early or in a dip means loses.
Optimum is to sell high and buy back low, but that needs skill.

So the normal is to buy and sell now and then and make sure the project behind the coins does have a future.

There's a pretty good chance it'll happen earlier.
However, the future cannot be predicted, so any prediction made about what'll happen in 10 years is pointless and has 0 value.

First of all I think that you may confuse the meaning of halving. Halving decreases the block reward the miners get for PoW coins. If you think that halving is related to price, then you are on wrong track completely (halving is not about price and stable coins' price is... meant to stay stable)

Now, stable coins are (at least usually) not mined (I don't think that there's any stable coin with PoW mining). If they are not mined then we can't discuss about halving of the block reward, right?
