The truth is that although I've used plenty of debit and credit cards, the only prepaid cards I've used are the Bitcoin cards.

I've seen companies that have monthly fee but don't charge much or at all when depositing.
I've seen companies that have no monthly fee but they cover that easily from the deposit fees.
Indeed, they are pretty close overall and I could live with this.

But then they have the Bitcoin-fiat conversion fees, which are not small. Of course, they are pretty close to the other similar exchangers' fees.
I think that since there are so many types of fees, they could easily cut 0.5% here or there.

And indeed, the last is the Forex fee, which I think they're bigger than all the other fees combined. And since I'm not in an EuroZone country this "hurts".



My bank allows me to exchange with no extra fees at central bank's official price, 1000 EUR/day into or from the national currency. (And also Revolut is close to that too.). This makes for me much cheaper to just use an established exchange.
If my bank can do this, if Revolut can do this, if TenX also advertised this, I guess that at least between certain common sense limits the forex fees could be reduced significantly. And as I said, there are also the other fees too where they can reduce a little bit (not much, as you said).

All this could make the Bitcoin cards a "must have". Now they're basically just "nice to have".

0.006BTC win in total is not bad actually. I don't know if you were lucky or the strategy is actually better than I expected.
However, you could have stopped after the first 0.013BTC lost and then you would have said that the strategy sux 
What I want to point out is that people should keep in mind that strategy or not, it's still gambling. And as you said, one should gamble only what he affords to lose.

Some will always see conspiracies everywhere they look.

The logic is simple though. There are always some who try to sell/use counterfeit money. And where's the cheapest to print such things? Yep, China.
There may be not even illegal there to print foreign currency - I mean it's another country, another legislation and so on. Of course it's illegal to get them into US. And that's what customs are for, after all...
All in all, no biggie.

I guess that they have to find a company that issues the cards for the other regions, a company which will be OK to work with Bitcoin cards and it doesn't have too big fees.
Most probably this is not so easy to achieve, else we'd have hundreds of flavors of international Bitcoin cards.

Please note that even if maybe such a strategy works a number of times on certain casinos, it's not 100% sure it will always work.
It would be fair to add some info like this from start, just to make sure somebody with bad luck will claim he lost because of you 
How many times did you manage to win like this and where? It could also be helpful.

Indeed gold is a great option for investment, some still argue if it's better or worse than Bitcoin. I'd vote for both.
And using tokens like this, one doesn't have to take care about handling the physical gold - from delivery to storage.

Also unlike stable coins like USDT, this project seems to have proper audit for the way the funds/tokens are backed.

I guess that Theymos could easily make that editbox read only, but as I see it's not what you propose.
And what you propose means more work and if it still can be edited in a way or another, it doesn't actually change (almost) anything.

Yup, 2017/2018 didn't kill us, so it made us stronger.
And also yes, HODL as much as you afford.


We can't just have everything, can we?  
A bit more rise may trigger FOMO and then you'll get the volumes too  


Since Gox has shown it's possible, various people have various expectations, one higher than another, and all call it "moon".


I am quite scared too. And it's not because of the news mafia, it's because I know how inefficient the government and the hospitals are in my country.

Was the official Libra coin launched? No, it's still only on test chain.
Is Libra something to invest into? No, it's a stable coin.

While I agree that these Libra scams are disgusting, I fail to understand what the so-called investors think they're doing.

Right, that too  and don't forget the clothes made of synthetic materials    (which I can be she is also wearing!).

In general seriozitatea in Romania nu este ceva pe care sa te bazezi. Dar cu BitcoinRomania nu am avut probleme cand le-am folosit serviciile. Si am si vorbit cu ei de vreo doua ori, dar asta a fost in 2018. Mi s-au parut suficient de seriosi.

Daca problema tot nu este rezolvata, recomand sa incerci pe website:
* in primul rand recomand chat-ul, dar s-ar putea sa necesite sa ai user
* la contact exista mai multe numere de telefon si e-mail

Good morning WO, I'm observing a comfortable 9339.99$ and a much better look of the price charts. It looks like a great morning.
Let's hope it'll go in the same direction even after the coronavirus panic ends.

Since he already has a wallet, I think that he will have to start Electrum, then File->New/Restore, Standard wallet -> ....

Windows 10 works very good even if it's not registered for years. It was said many many times. Microsoft can't wait to see everybody ditch the old versions.
On the other hand, OP has already recommended upgrade and stated that one good reason for not upgrading is outdated hardware which doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 10.

It's up to user preference and knowledge. I prefer to re-enter the seed since I don't use Tails often enough and I tend to overwrite the USB stick.
I know about persistent volume from the days I had to install newer Electrum.


Tails 4.0 already came with newer Electrum 3.3.8 in October. 3.3.8 is still the latest Electrum.
I didn't use the newest Tails (4.2.2), but I doubt that they've returned to older Electrum. Do you have any newer information?

I guess that by same logic everybody who ever went to school or work by car (or non-electric bus) will have to have all his funds seized, including the historical earnings.
I almost wrote "histerical". No wonder... 

I see blockchain as a special format of database. Imho all blockchains are databases.
But at the point a blockchain is made mutable, it may not be beneficial for the project to use blockchain at all.

I've seen a post here that may give more details (with the same conclusion though) : https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/77313/does-it-make-sense-to-design-a-mutable-blockchain

1. Make sure the computer is yours, and it's you who pays for the electricity. Make sure you have a latest generation CPU, I think that best if you have Ryzen.
2. Download and install a Monero wallet, run it so you have an address. Make sure you keep safe the wallet or the seed words. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0
3. Download and install a miner. One of the many options is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5201979
4. Run the miner, set a pool like pool.hashvault.pro:80 (see https://monero.hashvault.pro/en/help/getting_started, see http://moneropools.com/ for a bigger list)
5. After the minimum threshold is met you'll be paid.


Notes:
Make sure you understand that there's a good chance the electricity you use may cost more than the coins you mine, especially if you have an older CPU.
Make sure that you understand that mining is an effort that can reduce the lifespan of your computer. It's not a good idea to mine with laptop.
Mining is something you have to run continuously. Best is 24/7. At the pool I've shown you it doesn't make sense to mine less than 6-8h in a run.
If you have specific questions on each step, please ask.

I think that they are directly targeting uninformed newbies.
I don't know why an exchange accepts such a coin, it makes them part of the scam really.

Isn't the Chinese expedition still there on the dark side of the moon?
