881  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Appeal to the Average Joe and Jane Bitcoin Investors: Buy Bitcoin Now! on: July 25, 2023, 08:12:47 PM
This may not be the most effective approach to advising someone on buying Bitcoin. It's essential to provide reasons and justifications for any suggestions. Institutional investors are indeed knowledgeable and experienced, so it's crucial to respect their expertise. If you're a Bitcoin holder, remaining patient and composed while waiting for the right opportunity, such as the entry of big investors, can be a wise strategy. This approach will likely lead to more convincing arguments and a better understanding of the market dynamics for potential investors.
882  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if salaries were paid in BTC on: July 25, 2023, 08:04:35 PM
I've come across information suggesting that some companies offer the option of receiving salaries in Bitcoin, though I'm unable to recall their names at the moment. If you're interested, you could use a search engine to find these companies. However, it appears that widespread adoption of Bitcoin as a salary payment method is hindered by its volatility and legal considerations. The feasibility of paying salaries in Bitcoin is heavily influenced by a country's stance on cryptocurrency; if a country does not permit the use of Bitcoin, it becomes practically impossible to implement such a payment system. Unless governments begin to accept and integrate Bitcoin as a legitimate payment option, it is unlikely to replace fiat currencies for salaries in the near future.

Honestly, my journey into the world of crypto began with a forum. Before that, I had some knowledge about Bitcoin, but I wasn't fully aware of its potential. Through the forum, I gained a wealth of knowledge about cryptocurrencies and related topics. This newfound understanding encouraged me to start investing, and as a result, I began making profits.

Moreover, the forum provided a fantastic opportunity to earn through signature campaigns, and the amount I earned was quite decent. So, in many ways, the forum played a pivotal role in transforming my life, not only in terms of financial gains but also in terms of learning and expanding my knowledge about the crypto space.
884  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How is the Exchange Rate of Bitcoin to USD and Other Currencies Determined? on: July 24, 2023, 09:01:40 PM
In all honesty, there are no extraordinary methods to ascertain the Bitcoin price. The pricing across exchanges is primarily derived from their respective API-based exchange rates. The value of Bitcoin is contingent on the demand from investors and the available supply in circulation. When there is an increased buying pressure, the price tends to surge ("pump"). Conversely, if there is an elevated selling pressure, the price may experience a decline ("dump"). Additional platforms like Coinmarketcap and Coingecko also offer charts sourced from exchanges via API to provide visual representations of price trends.
885  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My easy way to teach your kids bitcoin. on: July 24, 2023, 08:56:00 PM
I'm uncertain whether this strategy effectively teaches kids about Bitcoin, as they might simply enjoy the cartoons without grasping the concept until they mature. The preferable approach is not to impose Bitcoin learning on them. Instead, begin by sharing your personal experiences and stories related to Bitcoin. Once they start comprehending the basics, gradually delve into more in-depth teachings. This way, I believe they will naturally develop an appreciation for Bitcoin

Hello OP! It appears you've received helpful answers in the preceding posts. To maintain order and avoid unnecessary posts, it might be a good idea to lock the thread from the lower left corner. This action will prevent further discussions.

Regarding the places you mentioned, they had previously been utilized for forum ads via an auction system. However, the decision was made by theymos to discontinue advertising through the forum. Instead, he opted to display random useful messages that you may come across frequently. There's nothing wrong with this change, so just take it easy and enjoy the forum!

I believe their digital payment system won't be able to rival Bitcoin in any case. The swiftness of their digital payment system is confined to the US alone, while Bitcoin transcends borders, making it a global option for transferring money. The universality of Bitcoin is a compelling reason for people to prefer it. Even if the US digital payment system were granted global access, it would still be a centralized fiat currency, unlike Bitcoin, which remains decentralized. Consequently, no other digital currency can match Bitcoin's unique attributes.
888  Other / Off-topic / Re: A warning against cheating and lending to a trusted friend on: July 24, 2023, 07:01:20 PM
If I understand correctly, your cousin's friend lacked the capital to invest in Bitcoin, and your friend assisted him by providing $800 for the investment. However, when your cousin requested the borrowed amount to be returned, the friend denied owing anything and falsely claimed to have already repaid your cousin. If this account is accurate, it is indeed disheartening. It highlights the difficulty in trusting others with financial matters. This incident is not specifically related to Bitcoin; rather, it reflects the importance of basic human decency in repaying borrowed funds. It serves as a valuable lesson for both you and your cousin to exercise caution when entrusting anyone with your money.

Indeed, errors in grammar and spelling can alter the intended meaning of a sentence. Therefore, non-English speakers may find it beneficial to utilize tools such as Grammarly or similar applications to craft flawless posts. As a non-English speaker myself, I have primarily relied on Grammarly and ChatGPT to enhance my English proficiency. There is no shame in employing such tools to refine one's English skills.

Thank you very much for all your replies.

I understand that I got scammed. I invested money I needed so it puts me in a difficult position.
However, I will not continue on this scam so I will not pay them more.

891  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A idea from my home boy on: July 22, 2023, 06:53:11 PM
This approach seems unwise. Instead of relying on a single written seed phrase that could be easily forgotten or lost, it's better to write your seed phrase on a piece of paper and store them in secure locations. You may make couple of copy. By doing this, you minimize the risk of losing access to your funds due to a single mishap.

Consider who you might be trying to protect your seed phrase from. Is it from your family members? Keep in mind that if you take these precautions and something happens to you, your family may not be able to recover your funds. It's essential to strike a balance between securing your assets and ensuring your loved ones have access to them in case of any unfortunate circumstances. Leaving some funds accessible to your family, which you've worked hard to earn throughout your life, can provide peace of mind for everyone involved.
892  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin competition. on: July 22, 2023, 06:41:03 PM
In my view, there are no real competitors to Bitcoin. Other cryptocurrencies, known as altcoins, are primarily traded with Bitcoin. People want to profit, and if Bitcoin were the only currency, it would be difficult to assess its value. While you could consider altcoins as potential competitors in theory, they don't truly compete with Bitcoin in practice. The presence of altcoins is crucial for a broader market as investors can make money from them. Additionally, altcoin teams actively promote cryptocurrencies, which increases overall awareness and benefits Bitcoin indirectly.
893  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: lost access to my bitcoin wallet... on: July 22, 2023, 06:23:24 PM
If you failed to save your seed phrase, there's no other way except recover your hard drive. Your best option is to search for a reliable computer or hard drive repair store. It appears you may have accidentally caused the damage to the drive yourself, making you quite unlucky. Nevertheless, remain composed and explore the possibilities of repairing it. Even if you cannot access the data directly, there might be a chance to transfer your data to another hard drive to regain access.
894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will You Return Hardware Wallet That Contains 3+ BTC in a Hotel Room? on: July 22, 2023, 06:12:25 PM
In such a situation, it is imperative for me to return the money promptly. If the money does not belong to me, I have no right to use it, as I believe in a higher power that watches over us. If the money was found in a hotel, it would be relatively easy to return it, given there would be a record of the person who stayed there. However, if I cannot identify the rightful owner and their whereabouts, I would turn to social media and the press to seek help in locating them.

Should my efforts be unsuccessful, I would not hesitate to involve law enforcement. I would file a written complaint and hand over the money to them, so they can take appropriate actions and disseminate information to relevant parties. My utmost priority would be to ensure that the money finds its way back to its rightful owner, in accordance with my principles and the belief in doing the right thing.
895  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SCAM or not ? on: July 22, 2023, 06:02:08 PM
Beware, it seems deceptive platform out there waiting to mislead you, whether you deposit 10% as a tax or not. Even if you comply and pay the 10%, they won't return your funds. It's best to accept the loss and avoid falling into this new scam. Legitimate platforms typically deduct taxes directly from your account, not ask for external payments. Never trust random individuals online. If you plan to send funds to any platform, engage with the community first to share thoughts and gather insights. Stay vigilant and protect yourself from potential scams.
896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Beginners, you don't need Bitcoin first on: July 21, 2023, 05:03:30 PM
I would advise against recommending Bitcoin investments to individuals who lack financial stability. It's crucial for potential investors to have a level of financial security, even if they are not wealthy, to avoid constantly monitoring daily price fluctuations and potentially forgetting about their investments.

Relying on loans or borrowing money to invest in Bitcoin is not a prudent approach. The cryptocurrency market is known for its volatility, and prices may experience significant declines that could take a long time to recover. In such scenarios, investors must be prepared to endure without immediate access to their invested funds and avoid panicking. Therefore, it's essential for anyone considering investing in Bitcoin to ensure they are financially stable and capable of weathering potential downturns.
897  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Kuwait Bans Bitcoin and crypto payments, investement and mining on: July 20, 2023, 10:09:28 PM
Indeed, it took me by surprise. When I came across the news, I noticed that Bitcoin had not reacted as expected. Despite the negative news, there was no significant price drop, which left me astonished. I'm beginning to doubt whether a complete crypto ban is truly feasible. It appears that the authorities are primarily targeting organizations involved in crypto businesses rather than trying to ban decentralized cryptocurrencies outright. The fact is, banning decentralized cryptocurrencies is practically impossible. People will always find ways to utilize them, either through peer-to-peer exchanges or on the black market.
898  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Which wallet is the most suitable option when considering a switch from Ledger? on: July 20, 2023, 09:40:21 PM
Which Wallet is the Most Suitable Option When Switching from Ledger, and What Are the Reasons Behind This Choice?

I am currently using the Ledger X hardware wallet. However, I have serious concerns about their closed-source software. Therefore, I am seeking the best alternative that can fully secure my funds. Specifically, I am looking for a multicoin wallet, not limited to Bitcoin.

Could you please recommend the most suitable option and explain the reasons behind your choice? Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Top Bitcoin Wallets ? on: July 20, 2023, 09:31:00 PM
Considering your concern for fund security, why not opt for a hardware wallet? It offers more security compared to a hot wallet. Although opinions may vary, I personally use the Ledger hardware wallet. However, I'm currently contemplating a switch to another hardware wallet. Before switching to Ledger, I had been using the Electrum hot wallet, which you might consider as well. Just be cautious about phishing attempts, updates, and viruses. It's worth noting that there have been past incidents where users lost funds from their Electrum wallets due to update attacks. In general, a hardware wallet is the most reliable option for safeguarding your cryptocurrencies.
900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can I save my brother by investing in btc now? on: July 19, 2023, 09:18:46 PM
I can understand your deep concern for your brother and the strong affection you hold for him, which is truly commendable. However, in this particular situation involving financial issues, relying on Bitcoin as a solution might not be the wisest course of action, as it lacks any magical powers to instantly resolve the problem. In fact, the volatile nature of Bitcoin means that even an investment of 3000 could potentially decrease to 1500 within a short period.

It's important not to depend solely on the hope of a quick financial fix through Bitcoin, as it is not a guaranteed method for making money rapidly. Instead, I encourage you to explore alternative solutions that could genuinely help your brother in this difficult situation. Consider seeking professional financial advice or looking into other investment options that are more stable and secure. Taking a careful and well-thought-out approach will likely yield better results and provide the support your brother needs.
