But that doesn't make them "less ponzi", isn't it?

After moving out of Circle, there's also another Poloniex news you guys have missed: Poloniex has moved to the Seychelles
Also the news about KYC/verification is from before Christmas and was discussed in the thread Poloniex revives unverified accounts

So while the "no KYC" part may be good news, together with the move to Seychelles may not be something so great anymore. Caution is advised.

OP, you could check other similar websites and convert from and to multiple fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. One example I have is https://mycryptobuddy.com/CurrencyConverter


OP, if you do this (and you should, imho) - instant and automatic, then please consider putting the result also at the start of the web page title.



.lat is indeed Latin America. Latvia is .lv.

Values like 12800 are still available. It may be much bigger than you'd like, but it's still not 36k.

XRP has a history of trying hard to get the price high (to say it nice). There used to be plenty of news on real or imagined partnerships with reputable huge companies or banks, just to drive the price up.
This will probably happen again as soon as some more money goes into altcoin market, but this should not be a real threat to ETH.

The real threat to ETH may be.. itself. Lately the politics/direction and some not-so-well-handled fork/upgrade attempts made ETH look like "just another altcoin", not really a good business platform. But that's my feeling.
Also, in another ETH related speculation thread, somebody wrote it very good:


So I think that there's bigger chance ETH to fall from #2 than XRP to rise to #2, although the result is the same, I know. Just then I won't really call it "dislodge".

I fully understand you!
(I've learned that it's not healthy to assume a certain level of comprehension, especially in the "real world".)
Because there's quite a chance you may have more success with the turtle...

It's somewhat entertaining to find out it's ponzi only if you are not an early adopter.

And yes, they are the majority in the world, we are just a small and strange(!) minority.

As @pooya87 said, checking the balance is not useful. Keep in mind that the money is on the blockchain, not in the wallet.

What I suggest:
1. Move this thread to the tech area or some of it's subs: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0
2. Learn from Ian Coleman site and code to generate addresses directly from seed (without using Electrum or whatever), addresses which you'll compare with the one you have.

What you write here, OP, may be wishful thinking.
The exchanges earnings are coming from the trade fees and withdrawal fees. Their aim is that you keep your money inside their platform, so obviously they charge extra if you withdraw.

The biggest list of exchanges and fees I know is this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5079048
The very few exchanges with no withdrawal fee ... I just don't know them so I cannot recommend. However, they can increase your list.

For the known exchanges, what I can recommend is:
* withdraw bigger batches if possible
* plan in advance and withdraw only what you plan to hold for at least months
* if you just move funds from one service to another you may use altcoins for the job: for some such altcoins the withdrawal fees are way lower

It's interesting that he came across this website and hurried up to notify us... after advertising it last year too and discussing on the thread of this service's ICO in ... 2018!

Hello & welcome.
The operation to "make Bitcoin" is called mining. This means that your question should have been in the mining subforum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0
In that subforum the first sticky tells:


So no, you cannot mine Bitcoin with your PC. If you want to mine you have to buy ASIC device.


Now, you can mine altcoins if you have a very new/good GPU and/or a Ryzen CPU. And those altcoins you may sell for Bitcoin.
But this makes sense only if you have very cheap electricity too..

All in all, the easiest and probably the cheapest solution too is to actually buy Bitcoin for money. If you do that, you better read about wallet and exchanges first: https://bitcoin.org/en/
Else you may do something stupid and help(!) somebody steal your coins..

OP, you should read the answers in this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5209011
The problem is the same: decentralization.

Usually the term decentralization for Bitcoin is related to the number of nodes, not about the centralization of wealth.


Although there are probably many Bitcoin whales, many exchanges' and other service providers' cold wallets may be also mistaken as whales. Also I expect many early fat wallets are actually lost forever. So the problem may be a bit smaller than some think.
Also new bitcoins are mined on the daily basis. If you are concerned about who owns them, go buy as many as you afford (although you should better don't invest more money than you afford to lose).
However, go read some of the answers there. They should be interesting and useful.

Since you asked for it, here you are:
For me all investments in PoS coins were a disappointment. All this happened before 2018.
And it makes sense. Just imagine, for Ethereum: in the past 2 years whoever wanted to accumulate, had plenty of opportunities to buy. After becoming PoS all these whales will have free coins to dump/sell.
Will this make the price rise or fall? 

I didn't check those websites, but this "rigged gambling" thing is a known scam that seems to be quite popular in the last month.
Would you genuinely expect somebody just give you money for free by scamming a casino?!

I prefer Ethplorer since Ethscan missed some tokens of mine a few years ago.
So... can you please tell more about this transaction, was it done by chance 2 days ago?
Is it .. this one? https://ethplorer.io/tx/0x60c4bcf4a5a9afc984b3cc474eca446a0ac2a28b0f7a60e6176081e1ee72afc4

You may want to update the original post and give this extra info so people won't tell you again and again about T&C and KYC.




Virtual or not, it has to count as some sort of good/property. I think that's best to find/ask a lawyer.
Edit: I googled for ask a lawyer spain and I've seen some free services which may be what you need.

I am not sure of what the future holds, obviously.
But from what I remember from other years the periods before Chinese New Year and US tax day are not great for Bitcoin price, so .. those are my expectations.

It has a good chance to defend the 8000... for now. But there's less than 3 weeks until the Chinese New Year, so I don't expect the euphoria last too long.

I don't see why people can't simply open a new tab at preev, bitcoinwisdom or whatever, there are plenty of websites which show in the title the current price of the pair you choose.
And this also solves the unnecessary bandwidth issue and it covers all the pairs the users would want.

So no, really, a widget is just not necessary.

I see it as some sort of abuse. If it would have been just an experiment he wouldn't have cared to delete the post(s).
And I tend to believe that a proper account made in 2017 should have quite some posts if it wouldn't be shady / getting its posts deleted more than once.

Maybe the account is getting prepared to be sold?
