I know about the pumps. Or bumps? Super pumps? Super bumps? That is if you are consistently posting your rank goes higher and higher? Shoot, I need to just ask Chat GPT 😂 would love the feedback though. I’ll admit I’ve been on here for years and still don’t fully understand how it all works. Someone can you please post the thread for it? Thanks!
Making several post doesn't even guarantee anyone of having 'em merits... It only increases the chances of anyone getting merited by every means.... Therefore, it entails that the post quality and quantity could create much more chances of getting merits....that's the idea behind it.
Don't give me the impression to suspect this account as a traded one -- and most likely in the hands of a leafyhead dude, that's inexperienced about the forum and it's modifications...cus I don't seem to see any reasons why an OP with a senior member account should be asking questions like this, rather appalling!!
One of the reasons why I keep striking against deleting major tuition threads; if we've got them and something of this magnitude has happened, think about if we never had any?? (Rhetorical though)

Hey I’m just asking some simple questions here, is that okay? You may want to refer to my prior comment for more clarity. Thanks.
922  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: HODL Wallet for BTC on: February 17, 2023, 04:58:07 PM
Does anyone on here use?
I never even heard about this one called "hodl wallet" and Im sure many others haven't as well. But the name sounds very fishy to me.

I always recommend for newbies.
Why would you recommend a not very well-known wallet to a newbie ? I just searched on google playstore, and the app haven't got any single written reviews. Why do you choose this app over others like bluewallet, mycelium ?

If a Mod can please move this to software wallets
Since you are the OP, you can move your thread yourself as well by clicking on move topic option on the bottom right corner of the screen.

P.S. Is the website I entered the correct one ?


I know the creator of the wallet personally. It is the new owner to Genesis Coins and founder of Bitstop. I simply recommend because it’s so simple and it’s an easy way to get a usable Segwit address very quickly.

I am curious. How many of you also stack gold and silver in addition to BTC as a hedge for inflation?

I do have some physical gold, silver, and platinum. The best part is that you can buy precious metals with crypto.

This was my way:

Example: $1000 in crypto

If it gains 100% I have $2000 in crypto -> then I use half of that to buy precious metals -> I still have $1000 in crypto plus $1000 in precious metal, also if I used crypto to buy the precious metal I support the crypto economy.

I do think it’s pretty sick that you can go to any precious metals exchange and buy gold silver or platinum for Bitcoin. All of them accept Bitcoin, some accept other cryptos I think.
924  Economy / Economics / Re: BTC Silver and Gold on: February 16, 2023, 05:57:01 AM
Stacking and coin collecting is for complete nerds  Cheesy  You already know how I feel about this topic.  As a financial advisor my clients are constantly asking me if they should consider buying either bitcoin or gold or bitcoin or silver.  So I'm constantly having to have that conversation of the importance of diversification  and why owning both makes sense, and how well precious metals like gold and silver hold up as hedging parts of a portfolio.

A few ounces of gold. I personally thinking that if precious metal should not become my main investment. Precious metal is even better compared with real estate consider it's even more liquid compared with real estate. Precious metal like gold is as good as bitcoin.

The gold itself was only a way to keep your value from inflation. It will not give you huge ROI like bitcoin. Precious metal is only helping you to make sure your value will not be eaten by inflation.



https://goldprice.org/gold-price-chart.html

"I personally thinking that if precious metal should not become my main investment".  It definitely shouldn't.  It should only be a piece of the pie, so to speak.  Almost any proper portfolio (exception apply) should mainly be supported by traditional equity investments such as mutual funds/ETFs etc.   

Gold also isn't necessarily better than real estate. They are two different types of assets. Real Estate has often carries a higher chance for growth, whether investing directly or indirectly such as in products/funds like REITS.




Great write up m8! And you know me, I am a complete nerd when it comes to this stuff  Cool Do you think gold will get to 3k per ounce at some point in the near future if inflation keeps raising at the crazy rate that it does? What do you think silver price will go up to? BTC obi going up to like 1 mil per coin soooooo shoot man just disregard this whole post and just stack SATSSSSSSS ya feel? hahaahah jk. I think it makes a lot of sense to diversify, to your point. I know that must be a fun conversation to have with your clients....

interested. prefer loaded too. 0.001 seems good.

for the key you should ask mopar or mj.

Cool, thanks Frank! I put you down as well as all others interested so far.

Looks like we have 6 total! I will be keeping #1 so looks like we will have 3 more spots left for any takers. I will be placing the order for some smelting silver to go ahead and get started and will post a pic of the prototype very soon. I will need to reach out to Mopar to see if he is interested in doing the keys on this, i'm sure he will want one if so I may need to reserve a spot for him just in case- based on demand I may up the mintage on these, we will see. Once I have an idea how much the holos will cost w/ key generation and loading & also taking into account the time and effort needed to make all of these I will come up with the price point and update the post. Thanks everyone again for your interest. Cheers. TREAD

I would definitely be interested as well.  I prefer loaded, especially if done by a trusted member for this group (My vote for Mopar).

Awesome I will add you to the list! Yeah I prefer loaded too. .001 seems to be a very good loaded amount.... That is 2 votes for Mopar sofar!

I'd be happy with 1 or 2 of each item you produce and recommend mopar as the best option for key generation if he is available  😉


If Mopar is able and willing I would consider it! Will have to chat with him on this. And thanks! I will take note of your interest. This would require 32 or 33 ounces I believe (some silver gets burned in the smelting process). I will make a list and come up with pricing and post some pics of a prototype to garner more interest! I would make the prototypes and ask for payments up front most likely to pay for the silver needed etc. could be a fun project!

I do some silver.

There we go! Do you buy silver often? How can you not own at least some? It’s an excellent store of value.
930  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is marriage a kind of punishment? on: February 12, 2023, 08:21:11 PM
I am working on an article on relationships and marriages. In my part of the world marriage feels like punishment on the female gender. In the days of old as I learnt, it was the responsibility of the man to provide and protect the family but in today’s society, men relax and have the women do almost everything. I observed this most in Nigeria or African. women grow old faster once married. I take instances from my neighbours, family and the society. The man on any day wakes up, take his bath, dress up, eat and off to work if he has one. The woman is the cook, launder, housekeeper, nanny, hand lady, errand girl, cleaner, and she must be working etc. just name it and she must not complain, she must not be tired. For real this is happening don’t think am just assuming. I see it live. Why is it so? I once asked a man in this case, why he maltreats his wife like a slave and he said no reasonable man is allowed to do house chores or assist in anything. The work of the man is to bring money that’s all. Can this be true?  Will you like your sisters, daughters, neighbours, friend  be treated badly in the name of marriage? Let’s talk. No abuses or insult please. I need soul lifting contribution.

If all they think they need to provide is money in marriage they are sadly mistaken and most likely a terrible husband. The whole point of marriage is to sacrifice for your spouse and provide and be a team player in every aspect. If you’re making the money you also can’t just have that be all you are is a money printer. It all depends on how the husband wants their relationship to be with their spouse. If they don’t care they treat them like shit, that’s wrong. On every level. If anything the wife’s job of raising children and running a household is harder than working and making all the money. You try and manage all your kids and households affairs 24/7 and I guarantee you will be begging your wife to take all that responsibility and work back and praising her for all she does. You should be praising your wife and uplifting her in every instance, regardless if you think you’re the shit and doing everything, you’re not, and you need to do more. Starting with being emotionally available to your wife to listen to what she needs and actively trying to make her situation and very hard and taxing job, physically and emotionally, much easier.

932  Economy / Collectibles / Thinking of creating a silver poured DIY or Loaded 1ozt and 2ozt silver rounds! on: February 12, 2023, 08:08:54 PM
If I were to do this, and say collaborate with someone who can generate the keys to place on the back of a silver pour would anyone be interested? Maybe loaded with .001 BTC. Can anyone recommend a good partner for key generation who would be interested in partnering up? I will post a pic later of the design. Would do a limited mintage of 10 on these most likely (possibly increase the mintage if there is more interest) with a reasonable price point. I have been pouring silver for 6 years  Grin

Interested members: Hookzup1, Markzellers, Frank AlpenCoin, Humble Bitcoiners, sweeteye, 2stout, 1 for myself, possibly one for Mopar, and I will keep this list open to any other members and update the mintage accordingly on this first run based on interest.

Does anyone on here use? I think it’s great and a very simple user face. Please let me know if you are using this app. Perfect free app / place to store a small amount of funds. I always recommend for newbies. If a Mod can please move this to software wallets, I just realized I was in the wrong thread. Thanks!

2018-2023, 5 years running on Bitcointalk, weird, I dunno.

I read the OP's post several times because it seemed to me that he was not serious with his question and it seemed to me that he was confused with the threads bumps in some parts of the forum. If a Senior member is confused about some basic features of the forum, don't be surprised by beginners who seem lost in their first days or weeks.



By the way, it's a bit strange to me that the OP has the will to ask such questions, considering that he didn't exactly have the best week in his life - he allegedly lost his job and a close friend, which would have much more serious consequences for me personally - but I'm glad that he still looks at life on the bright side.


Yes, it has been quite a rough week. Disregard this ignorant post. All the answers were there, I just needed to look. Was mainly confused on the super bumps. I came across some thread that really laid everything so good a while back but forgot about it. In terms of ranking up I of course know how that works and have been fortunate to get some good merits for my posts. I want to contribute more to this forum in a wholesome way. So please excuse me and any rants that I make or ones seemly very stupid 😂 I’m trying to sort out a lot of things in my life right now, but I appreciate all of your comments! The ranking system on here is very legit, and I like it a lot.
935  Other / Politics & Society / Re: CHINA BALOON SHOT DOWN IN US on: February 12, 2023, 03:01:54 AM
The China spy balloon is sort of old news now.  People are now talking about the UFO balloon shot down over Alaska, apparently in a place called cumtown.  Cumtown was then trending on Twitter, which is pretty funny if you think about it.  Still no word on whether the UFC is aliens or another spy balloon or possibly an actual weather balloon.  It does seem that instead of a circular white balloon, this one was a cyndrical silver object, which makes it somewhat unique.  I am concerned that China is surveying our military bases and shooting down green lasers from their satellites.  Hopefully that's fine.

Yeah, and another object shot down by a US fighter jet in Canada today! So wild. The green lasers thing is wild, matrix type stuff here. And then silver object that sounds like a UFO. Wtf is happening in this world we live in lmao
936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Superbowl Bets Discussion- Eagles or Chiefs? on: February 11, 2023, 09:47:45 PM
I would have to agree with the Vegas odds on this one.  I think the Eagles are the ones that are going to come home with the trophy.  I don't watch much football, so this is mostly the opinions of my friends who do.  I do have a couple die hard Chiefs fans, but they aren't really football fans as much as they are from Kansas...  So I'm not going to place a crazy bet or anything, but I will be searching for a nice plate of nachos and possibly some chili dogs to go with a nice beer and a comfortable seat to watch the game.  

Here in Phoenix the town is starting to see some action.  Looked like an alien invasion last night with all the helicopters flying around.

Honestly I’d have to agree with you on this and with and ralle. The Eagles could very well possibly win the bowl game! I recently came across a new connection in an English pub who has a gambling hussle. Anyways they gave me $50 to bet for free, so I might as well throw $100 at it and try and get a nice bag for the bowl game, let’s see what happens!! And that’s great to hear about the influx of people on Phoenix getting ready for the game this weekend! That sounds exciting.

938  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Crazy week. I lost a dear friend and I lost my job on: February 11, 2023, 09:37:05 PM
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Justin. That must have been a terrible shock and a huge loss for you. Losing someone close is never easy and it takes a long time to heal. You should be proud of yourself for holding onto that unexplainable peace during such a difficult time. Justin was a positive influence in your life, and it's great that he was able to bring so much encouragement and positivity into your life in such a short amount of time. May his memory live on and bring comfort to his family and loved ones.

As for your job loss, I can understand that it must have been a tough decision for you, but it's good to know that you have a plan and are actively looking for opportunities. You are right, it's important to do what you love and to surround yourself with people you care about. Starting a business or finding a better job could be a great opportunity for you to find more happiness and fulfillment in your career. Selling life insurance on the side is also a great idea and I wish you the best of luck in your job search.

It sounds like you have a positive attitude towards the future and that you are excited for what's to come. That's a great mindset to have, especially during difficult times. Remember, this is just the beginning of a new chapter, and you never know what amazing opportunities and relationships await you. Please keep us updated on your journey and don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

Take care, and lots of love to you.

To your first part on Justin, Amen 🙏 thank you man those are very kind words. Still so hard to believe someone can throw their life away in an instant and not even fully comprehend what they’re doing because they’re on drugs.

I didn’t really have a choice and in honesty I was fired. Being laid off just sounds so much better doesn’t it? I wish i was laid off I would have a severance package. I feel like I definitely deserve one with all I have done for that company, but they were fine to let me go even so. It’s unfortunate but its honestly a blessing too because I really dreaded that job.  Despite being an attendee at Presidents club in November and still closing business a lot of business up until my firing it all comes down to the numbers they said. I’ve been there for 7 years, and my tenure had no weigh in this decision. I believe I was fired because a certain Bitcoin ATM company stopped paying their bills and pretty much cost my company 3.5 million dollars. That same company being my franchise partner for a BTM. The last 6 months of my life have been a whirlwind to day the least! I had to pivot and find a new partner for my ATM, which is set to launch next week. Life insurance has been good hitting it hard and setting appointments so that’s good. I am considering starting a pressure washing business in my neighborhood where the HOA has now made it a requirement to pressure wash the driveway and there are 400 houses in my community. I have confidence that I can take advantage of the opportunity. I have been hard at work so I have not been on here as much as usual. But I can tell you that I am most definitely positive and trying to seize the day every day! There is a light at the end of the tunnel after all, I do believe it. I will keep you guys posted with the progress. Your support means the world.
