Ai putea te rog sa fii mai explicit cu partea asta, sau sa dai vreun link? Ce obligatii ar fi pentru urmatorii 10 ani?!

After a nice 2016 at the end of which Bitcoin got to 1000+, 2017 came with 20x pump. (The data is from memory, it may not be 100% accurate.)

I guess that this is expected again.
It's clearly possible. Whether it will actually happen or not, we'll have to live and see.

Seriously. Many won't open a link, especially posted by a newbie.
This is a forum. A place people are discussing. What if instead of answering, people would post a link to their own websites?

So the advice to put a couple words here was a valid one.
And instead of countering such advises, be happy it was not reported and deleted for just posting a link.

So again, add more words there. Quote a little. It's for your interest.

Of course it's wrong.

The price *should* not go lower than the price price to produce it (but it's not necessarily so).
But what's the price to produce Bitcoin?

Some miners may have already the ROI for equipment. Some miners may have electricity price nearly 0 or may produce their own electricity from renewable sources. What if they already have ROI for that equipment too?
Some miners may hold, some miners may sell at a loss. And some miners may go out of business (or relocate!) because their electricity is too expensive anymore and they have no profit.

And many traders are not miners. There are investors, there are speculators, and the bigger ones may have quite an effect on the price.

So no. OP's equation is oversimplified, hence it's wrong.

Interesting poll.
Can OP elaborate the relationship between his "mom's dyin" and "You lend me & become a billionaire"?


*sigh* ... and some wonder about the sarcastic or "heartless" responses.

I meant that people don't really have full wallet on smartphone. On smartphone they'll have a SPV.


Well, Blockchain.com can be faked even easier, after all, but as I said, he will have to know what (websites, servers, ...) to fake, there are too many options.

The buyer has to check the transaction. It depends a lot on how he does that. I would check a reputable blockchain explorer.

Let's say that the buyer checks in his own wallet.
If he has a full wallet, it may work, but that would mean the buyer comes with his laptop (why would he do that if all he needs for checking is a browser which he already have on the smartphone?)
If he has a SPV (Electrum, Mycelium), I think that there's a possibility he can have a corresponding (fake) server in his own network. But he will have to know what wallet to expect (to prepare the corresponding server), he will have to have his own custom DNS...

Overall I think that, although possible, it's not viable.
The seller has to know too much info about the buyer to have everything right. And quite some skills to get the buyer into that certain situation. And nowadays people just use the mobile data, there are far too many warnings to avoid using 3rd party WiFi.

Last time I've done this I deposited to Binance. It was under 1$ worth, it was altcoin, but doesn't think it matters.
However, since I've been already mentioning Binance in my previous post, this one doesn't bring anything. And since you already considered the other post off-topic, I'll remove both posts by tomorrow.

Imho it was not that much off topic because if the end result of the donation is that the other party will have to pay higher fees, you don't really "do good". But I don't want to argue; since it was not useful for you, it doesn't matter: I'll delete.

It's interesting that you can select the capacity 
I guess that it's a cheap USB stick in a counterfeit Ledger Nano S box. I really hope it's not something more evil.

Back then I didn't really think seriously on the name. I clearly didn't imagine I'll still have same account on the same forum after more than 5 years. Now I'd clearly pick something which at least is not subject to copyright  
NeuroticFish is the name of a band. A band from which I like the music and also its name.

You have sent to a bunch of addresses and it's not really clear what you've done.
If all the other addresses you've sent to are intended and the only one "incorrect" is 3P8xgeBSsYLYUPQBJBQNDKjBhdQqKw6Ycj, then most probably it's a change address in your wallet, which means that it's money that "returns" to your wallet, just into a different address in the wallet.

What wallet are you using?

Maybe this helps: whenever I had such dust I've had an uglier approach: I've sent them to one of the altcoin exchanges with low minimum transaction amount and bought some altcoins.
The worse case scenario I know would be consolidating all small inputs for Bitcoin and other altcoins too into BNB (at Binance) until one can turn it into something more meaningful.

For the first question "Do long term holding profitable in all cases?" the answer is clearly no, long term holding is not always profitable.
You have to pick the right portfolio and watch it, since some coins will probably die and/or become worthless.



This is very hard to answer.
Ethereum had a great idea. That idea made it so popular it's still one of the few altcoins accepted by a significant number of merchants.
Now Ethereum has competition, but as seen with Bitcoin too, competition is usually way behind.
But 2019 was not a great year for Ethereum. It was a bad year for all altcoins. And there were problems and delays with the updates, and there were strange proposals made by Vitalik, ... and of course a lot of FUD around all this.

Whether Ethereum has the power for a beautiful comeback or not, I don't know. And even if I'd know, it's you who has to get all the pieces together and make a decision.

Can you please tell us the version number of the Electrum you have now? I really hope it's not the fake 4.0
Also if nothing else works and nobody else makes you a script to check / find your missing work, I can try that Saturday.

Another thing that *may* work would be to try to recover the possibly deleted wallet file. Get (onto another partition or stick) a recovery software like Recuva and see what it finds for you. The file should have been in the folder described by nc50lc already and possibly called default_wallet

Well, that could be also simple, but we face a problem.
I guess that Ver has invested quite some funds (and influence) to advertise his coin and convince certain businesses to accept his coin (and maybe even offer better terms for his coin than proper Bitcoin).
So those noobs have fallen for the advertising (it doesn't matter here how false it was). That's what they understand. Advertising. (simple)
But.. (problem) : Monero doesn't do much advertising (if it does at all). So it may not be easy to reach them.

E destul de greu de urmarit cu modificarea x la legea y.
Iar articolul postat de @Skorillo este mai clar, cel putin pentru mine.



Monedelor ca atare nu prea au ce reglementare sa le faca. Totusi sunt doar niste date care se plimba pe internet.
De reglementare au nevoie afacerile / casele de schimb (de la KYC/AML pana la manipularea preturilor si "volumelor") si platitorii de taxe.
Si nici tarile mai "evoluate" nu au ajuns semnificativ mai departe decat partea financiar-contabila.

PS. Modul in care a fost facut pe 2019 a fost cu picioarele; poate 2020 o fi mai bun.

That was my thought also.

OP, property papers, the background check if they are mortgaged, the actual escrowing, all are difficult to be done properly and beyond doubt through 3rd parties over the internet.
So only a fool would accept to accept to loan money in such conditions and no proper escrow would accept that business.
The chance all this to finish in a scam is just too big.

I also don't find it so strange. Such a move could be seen as a validation fro BAT. It could also boost BAT (which could be exploited on exchanges).
And what would be the benefit for Bitcointalk? Peanuts? Just compare it with the benefit for BAT.

Unless you want to short it (in which case stable coins may be better option too), there are few reasons to sell such amount all at once.
And then you can sell some at various exchanges and at various OTC exchangers (including crypto prepaid cards).
And even then, it could happen that the exchange is fine and allows you withdraw, while the bank will start asking questions and even lock your account (and money).


I would exchange most of it onto card slowly, while spending / withdrawing.
Also keep in mind that there are more and more things you can buy directly for crypto.

Many people would buy such services in an anonymous or pseudo anonymous way. So the established coins, whether it's Bitcoin, or Monero or other coins, they are perfectly suited for the job.
On the other hand, if you'd use something "sexcoin", you would completely defeat the purpose.

Just look how these would sound:
"- Honey, I see you've bought some Bitcoin with our card, what's that for?
- Oh, honey, is just an investment.
- OK"

-or-

"- Honey, I see you've bought some Sexcoin with our card, what's that for?
- Oh, honey, is just an investment.
- No shit!"
