You guys know the joke about the rabbit and jogging?
Every time I see threads about John McAfee .. I remember that joke.

There are a lot of scam accusations about gambling sites - some for real, some not. Some cry that the casino didn't let them cheat, some don't understand gambling, sometimes errors happen and some times times some casinos are indeed found scamming.

And the number of casinos is nowhere near the number of youtube videos. I can't imagine how many are scam indeed, I expect a lot. Of course, a lot others are not related at all with scam, which doesn't mean they don't get reported, for various reasons or simply by the competition. And of course, the AI handling all this + the humans checking now and then is most probably making mistakes too here and there, not only on bitcoin topics.

Does this mean Google is afraid of bitcoin? Does this mean Google has anything against bitcoin? Does this mean anything?? No. Sorry.
Google is nowhere near angels, clearly, but this accusation has no basis.


PS. Would that Forbes guy have said anything if by chance his videos would have been unaffected?   Or he's just calling "burn the witch anyway!"?

O alternativa bunicica la Chrome este si Brave. Edit: nu, lasa Brave, Firefox e solutia. Vezi: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5247900.msg54581865#msg54581865

Ma chinuiesc destul de urat sa fac primii pasi sa scap de Google si e greu.
Brave nu "duce" de la un dispozitiv la altul bookmarkuri, istoric de pagini sau parole. Pentru parole folosesc Bitwarden.
Dar pe Andoid ma dau cu capul de pereti. De exemplu ma trezesc ca Bitwarden intra in greva si unele site-uri tin userul loginat doar o saptamana sau deloc. Sau incerc sa intru pe cutare site, dar pe Brave Android inca nu am fost pe acolo, atunci ia chrome de la naftalina sa ma ajute.

Google search. Asta e tricky. Folosesc google search de cand s-a nascut. Inainte foloseam altavista, hotbot si altele. Am incercat de curand DuckDuckGo si m-am luat cu mainile de cap: foarte slab dupa standardele mele.

De pe vremea cand Yahoo mail a calcat rau de tot pe bec cu parolele tinute in clar in baza lor de date am plecat de acolo.
Gmail a devenit baza si e greu de renuntat. Mai folosesc gmx, care are alias-uri. Probabil voi avea nevoie de inca unii, cel putin la fel de bun ca gmail, ca la unele site-uri la inregistrare mailul nu a ajuns pe gmx.

Cu pozele nu e greu, o gramada de cloud-uri au camera upload (da, la unii merge mai bine si la altii mai rau), iar unele clouduri au si end-to-end encryption.

Hartile. Pe Android exista HereWeGo cu harti gratis. Eu (inca) folosesc Waze, dar si astia au gost cumparati de Google. Nu il folosesc pentru avertizari de politie, ci fiindca are cea mai OK grafica.


Concluzie:
Desi in articol/tutorial mai este loc de completari, e o idee buna.

Edit: Am uitat o chestie. Mai nou copiii nu mai folosesc Zoom pt scoala, ca e nesigur. Au trecut toti pe.. ta-dam: Google Classroom.  

I think that there's a very high chance you'll end up with worse rates than if you'd buy with the CC directly from the few exchanges that offer that option.
But as you started: don't buy BTC for credit money. The market is volatile (halving or not) and credit money is clearly money you don't afford to lose.

Deja erau vorbe in ultimii 2 ani (cel putin!) ca 95% din "cloud mining" sunt scam (Ponzi), iar restul de 5% sunt fie la limita castigului, fie sub.
De atunci s-a intamplat ceva: a venit halving-ul. Adica mai putini Bitcoin pentru aceeasi munca depusa. Nu cred ca mai e vreunul pe castig.
Nu sunt 100% la zi (cum halvingul a fost aseara, nimeni nu mai e). Eventual poti sa mai astepti si sa mai sapi peste o vreme, dar cred ca mai degraba iti pierzi timpul.

It has to be emphasized that with Sweep you don't add that private key to your actual wallet so you won't be able to "prove ownership" if others ask for it.
Sweep only creates a transaction that'll move those coins to this wallet.

For "adding private key" and proper ownership proving the "new/import" is the proper way.
Of course, import also doesn't mean addition to current wallet, it's creation of new wallet, but you'll be able to use it in Electrum.


If you already have a wallet in Electrum, you should do File->New/Restore.
And when you'll have 2 or more wallets you can switch between them with File->Open

Aici ai dreptate. Plus ca este foarte accesibila.
Si fiind tanara si usor de manipulat, unii pot face averi daca gasesc fraieri care sa se considere mari traderi si care sa le urmeze orbeste predictiile, graficele si "semnalele".



Am stat deoparte 2 zile in speranta ca vor veni si altii, sa nu considere ca avem doar o discutie in doi. Degeaba...

What you say is a bit ambiguous. You say that students may have to record themselves during the test then you say you'll stop the mic and webcam.
The test may happen as a conference so the teacher can keep an eye on you real time. If so you'll need the webcam and mic and also ToR may get out of question for making the things too slow.

About distro, since you'll use a VM and will not "touch" your main data (that's smth you set from VM, not the OS inside VM), you can consider that VM disposable and it doesn't matter how much privacy-oriented will it be, it doesn't matter.
Make sure the VM OS will have installed everything you need!!

So the data from the computer should be safe.
The content of your room may be somewhat visible, I recommend you change the position of your office so your back will be next to a wall.
The IP however I don't know how you can hide without losing speed.

PS. Wait for others' opinions too.

And next time you install a 2FA app consider using one that allows you back up your data like Aegis and such.

As your numbers show, each new bubble means smaller percentual growth.
So the new ATH could be indeed big, but not astronomical. If you call it astronomical, some guys that just got a few satoshi from a faucet will think they'll be rich in 2 years.


Not really. Some have higher expectations, some not. Some still hope for low price so they can buy more. Some think that there will be no new ATH.
It's all speculation, which imho is rather meaningless. We cannot foresee the future and I'm not sure if we should build up so big expectations so fast.
Last ATH was iirc at more that a year after halving and the FOMO rush happened only in the last months of that period.

I am not sure how could those precious stones get to an escrow and who can decide they are valuable.
You better do some reading on what is considered valid collateral and try better if you indeed want a loan.
Also 50-100k is a big amount, so expect the lender be very picky on the collateral.

1. On forums, writing with all uppercase means you are shouting. Please start writing like we all do.

Lucru care intareste partea cu "trasa de par".
Nu stiu de ce unii incearca din rasputeri sa gaseasca o corelatie intre pretul Bitcoin si pretul.. orice.
Na, ziarele de stiri cauta senzational in piatra seaca, dar noi ar trebui sa stim asta.
Dar Bitcoin fiind si pe o piata ne-reglementata, spre deosebire de orice altceva, treba asta devine un fel incercare (disperata?) de a aduna mere cu pere. (OK, nu aduna, dar ai prins ideea).

You gave USDT as example. Not a good one.
If you want to hold stable coins you better go for coins/tokens with proper 3rd party audit (which USDT doesn't have) to make sure the coins/tokens are actually backed by something real, not just empty words.


PS. It's hard to tell now if Bitcoin is again in a bear market or not. We may need some 10 days for that (i.e. halving day + 1 week).

Draguta treaba, dar o consider inutila si cam trasa de par.
Daca actiunile Microsoft sau Ericsson si cotatia petrolului ar fi sincronizate concluzia ar fi ca... nimic. Ca de fapt cu toata posibila asemanare, nu exista o relatie.

La fel si cu Bitcoin. Beyond Meat e o companie destul de tanara, iar produsele pe care le dezvolta vor avea sau nu succes.
Deci singura legatura intre (pretul) BYND si BTC ar fi ca se face multa specula, pretul nefiind neaparat unul care reflecta valoarea si asteptarile.

PS. A avut si BYND asa cadere (13%?) azi noapte?  

Naaah, that'll have to be around Christmas. Why break such wonderful tradition?

I didn't open that. It was always here 
Keep in mind that Satoshi called Bitcoin "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System", not "an investment for the masses".

I guess we all did this; that's why I agree with 20kevin20 and I was also waiting for more details from OP on what he meant and what was he expecting.

The strong processors also use to generate a lot of heat. Laptops are usually designed to allow a bit of cool down now and then - by stopping them now and then and/or by not leaving them hours after hours on 100% processor use. With GPU it's even worse.

Since mining is usually high CPU/GPU use and 24/7 run, you may end up by breaking the laptop early if you are lucky or burn down the house if you're not.


So if you want that badly to mine, I'd advice you do that only while you use the laptop for something else (like surfing the net or this forum) and use mining software that doesn't use the whole processing power (like the Stak miner for Monero). But you'll see that such mining will get you pennies over long periods of time and may not worth it.

You should know that not everybody thinks the same. And many could simply tell you that 1 BTC = 1 BTC, so nothing has change.
