From the position of a bank client, I must say that I have very little or almost no trust in banks - especially when I know what kind of scandals they have found themselves only in the past ten years. I must also say that I do not like that as a long-term client of the bank I have to go to the bank from time to time to prove that I am not a person who has anything to do with terrorism or money laundering. Therefore, I will soon close all my bank accounts, except for one that I need and for which no one has yet asked me to justify its existence.

Regarding zero reserve banking, this is related to USA banks and I think it’s a stupid idea that creates even more mistrust among bank users. I can't say if such a system is already in place somewhere in the world, but it is possible that some other countries will copy it in the future.

Money in banks, crypto on exchanges, stocks on the stock market - you wake up one morning and everything is gone except Bitcoin in your well-protected wallet

And they say it's nothing complicated (I mean the procedure) so obviously someone played around a bit and made a story out of nothing. And even if the wallet is real, any slightly more complicated password makes it virtually impenetrable for today's computers. But if some hackers really think there's something there, let them just play with that crypto wallet - they'll have less time for some other things, like hacking a crypto exchanges or distributing crypto malware.

Personally, I think that the B&H board is one of the very important parts of the forum, and where every beginner should get some basic guidelines on how the forum works, but also on how to start journey in the crypto world. There has already been discussion that some topics may not belong there, but although various scam projects can be moved to the appropriate board, topics like internet security actually have no alternative but to be moved to off-topic which sometimes happens.

The right balance needs to be found here, and an additional sub-board on internet security has already been proposed - and it would be really good to have it, because someone who is bad about IT/online security is at high risk of falling victim to various crypto scams.

Mistakes happen, and 200 million is maybe a lot - except maybe in China. I remember data from one of their censuses when they themselves admitted that some 10-15 million people were not covered by it - because they live in such remote and inaccessible areas that it is very difficult to reach them. They say there are still areas in China where people live and have never seen a white man

Despite the ban, the Chinese have found new ways to continue trading Bitcoin, and this is perhaps the greatest strength that BTC has, it can resist any regime, and this is definitely evident in the example of China.

You're welcome for comment

If you only pay for someone to register then it can be abused, because usually referral commissions are paid according to the performance of referrals in a certain percentage - I think that would be a better solution, but again few will succeed in bringing 500 users to your site - and since you make every payment manually, you should notice every possible irregularity.

What I was actually thinking was that there are still people using very slow dial-up internet that have a maximum speed of 56 Kbps which is just 0.056 Mbps - and that would result in a download time of approximately 1 hours and 15 minutes for file size 30 MB.

Some may say, so who still uses dial-up internet access today, but research says that at least 1 million people in the USA use such internet today. It sounds strange for the 21st century, but for some it is quite enough, while others may not have a better choice.

People really still use dial-up internet? Actually, a million do

Of course, I just need to bring 500 people to your site to make $5 based on that, and if by any chance I'm in the top 10 I might be lucky in the lottery and win another $5

What I'm still interested in because I'm not a member, how many points can be earned daily on your site - because I'm interested in how long it takes to reach the minimum withdrawal of $5? As for that minimum, for me personally it is dust - because in order to spend the same amount you have to pay a fairly high fee or minimum fee and sometimes wait too long time for confirmation.

You have slightly reduced the population of China, which today is over 1.4 billion people, and also even though China has officially banned crypto trading, that doesn’t mean the trade doesn’t exist at all.


Also, paying income tax is only necessary when the crypto is converted to fiat, and just owning a BTC that is worth x times more today than a year ago means nothing. Paying taxes is of course desirable because it finances the entire infrastructure we need for everyday life. But in some countries the level of corruption and bad politicians is so high that it makes no sense to fund a beast that destroys everything around it.

Generally a well written post with very good tips for beginners, I hope most will read it before they fall into a trap.

Cheap hosting is much less than what you state, and for his needs VPS it is not needed at this time. Unlimited webspace & bandwidth for only $5.95 per month + com. or net. domain for less than $10 per year. Of course, he can pay for all this with BTC or with some other coin if he chooses some crypto friendly provider like this one.

myfriendcrypto, if this is about micro-earnings, then it would be logical to use micro-wallets that allow users to accumulate their rewards in one place and to avoid dust transactions. That way you can send 10 satoshi (no fee) without any problems - but of course you can always set a withdrawal threshold. I don't want to promote the micro wallets that are currently popular - but if you're interested, let me know on PM.

Can you explain to me how the referral program works, because all I see is that by invite a friend you can earn $5 a week?

protrader786, is this seed created with Electrum wallet or some other wallet? There can't be much reason why the next button is disabled when you type seed - other than that the seed is incorrect or one of the following :

In this case, privacy when paying with Bitcoin doesn't make much sense, because it's about delivering food to the user's address - but still maybe some could have problems with refund to their bank accounts, because some banks are not crypto friendly. While this is a positive move, many will certainly not like the fact that JustEat uses Bitpay, which still has some silly policy when it comes to fees - overpaying fees and warning that the user risks that the transaction will not be confirmed on time is simply stupid.

I personally would love to have the opportunity for a service like this in my country, regardless of the payment processor and some other minor illogicalities it would be nice to pay for some food with Bitcoin.

I visited that site and did not find any Ledger products, and also on the official Ledger site there are no official resellers for the Philippines. The safest option is to buy directly from Ledger (France). As for the delay of the shipment, if it goes via DHL then it will arrive within the specified period - and such a shipment is always with a tracking number and it is quite certain that it will not get lost so easily.

Shipments coming from China have a problem with delays and losses, but that's something else entirely - because they first collect a certain amount of shipments and then just send them to their destination - and that takes at least 30+ days.

Congratulations on a brave move, although at first it seemed that your bet would not pass - but as we all concluded, the game is played for 90 minutes, and the Croatian players do not have concentration throughout the game. The French tactic was obviously to let Croatia spend as much power as possible in the first half, and then they reversed the result in just a few minutes. A defense that concedes 8 goals in 2 games is definitely for a complete reconstruction - and players like Kramaric shouldn't be in the starting lineup because that man literally didn't do anything in last night's game.

Nothing is over yet, because realistically these were the most difficult away games - and in a month the form of some players will certainly be much better - realistically Croatia has a chance to stay in Group A if they beat Sweden as hosts and play a draw with Portugal and France.

The first three examples are obviously someone’s alt accounts created just to participate in a contest - because all three became inactive after that - and the activity is at least easy to accomplish - while 4 example is a member who ceased to be active in 2017. All of them could very quickly and easily become Jr. Member only if they wanted to - I doubt that the impossibility of the posting pictures distracted them from that.

1 merit shouldn’t be proof that someone isn’t a spammer or that they don’t have bad intentions, and a restriction by an admin is certainly not some hasty decision.

If Dad didn't want his son to spend money on something like Bitcoin, then he shouldn't have given him more money than he needs for basic living needs. It's very easy to spend money you didn't earn, and the children of the rich are the best example of that - but I guess it's better to spend on Bitcoin than on drugs and alcohol, although probably for a young Schiff money is no problem.

This is more than obviously a small play of dad and son on social networks, the little one must get involved in the business when dad become more or less irrelevant

Definitely interesting for those for whom the whole thing is complicated so this way they can visualize the whole process. As the project is still in beta, the owner will probably make some changes for the better, so this could be something very interesting for beginners.

I also noticed that the site advertises Ledger HW (check OP image), and it must be admitted that the owner very skillfully incorporated that marketing move into the concept of his site. If the project became successful, then it would certainly be interesting to advertisers as well.

That’s actually a good question, and I’ve asked it to myself many times. The question is whether one should seize the opportunity when ATH happens and sell at least part of it, or one should simply ignore the possibility of profit?

I have written something on this topic before, and let's say that now I think I made a mistake at the end of 2017 that I did not sell at least 1 BTC. The reason is of course that after ATH there is always a correction, and in less than a year for 1 sold BTC you could buy 6+ BTC. If you look back at say 2015 when BTC was only worth $200 and 2017 when it was worth almost $20 000 smart players could do this :

- buy 1 BTC for $200 in 2015
- sell 1 BTC for $20 000 in 2017
- buy 6+ BTC for $20 000 in 2018
- holding 6 BTC worth $60 000 today

Not bad if you look at the initial investment and only the 5 years it took to make it happen. So I agree that just holding is not the smartest thing, but that smart selling can be very profitable.

It is realistic to expect that after such a bad game, the team will be a little better in this match - but fixing things on the French is a really difficult mission. Although it won't be Mbappe who is a really great player, the array of top players that France has cannot leave anyone indifferent. However, Deschamps announced that he will rotate a lot of players for this match, and this time Dalic throws all the strongest cards into the game from the beginning, so Brozovic and Perisic should play from the beginning, and the possibility of playing Sime Vrsaljko is mentioned.

Good review of the match -> Changes in the staff of Vatreni for world champions! See who should get a chance against the French

This is just an official discount, but I see some special discounts shared by some users on Ledger Reddit - so it’s possible to buy HW at a discount almost all year round. However, the biggest discounts can be expected in the period of Black Friday and before the New Year holidays.

I bought my Nano X last year with a 35% discount, and if my memory serves me well, at one point the Nano S was even available with a 50% discount. However, considering what has been happening with Ledger lately, I'm really interested in whether their sales will fall or people will, as usual, quickly forget everything.

---

As far as I know, the Nano S is still being produced and supported, there is no announcement that the warehouses are being cleaned - it is still a more affordable model that probably sells more than twice as expensive Nano X.
