1  Other / Beginners & Help / bitcoin halving dates in one graph on: January 31, 2023, 05:55:05 AM
I know most people already know what halving is. So, I won't go into that but I realized there was not one single piece of information that shows the dates far into the future.

I am sharing this infographic that  I found online for those who may be interested to look at it (oh and I couldn't upload it here, so you may need to see it off the forum)

You're pretty much talking about conversing with people on the internet in general, mostly social media platforms. Bitcointalk isn't anything special. If anything, Bitcointalk is far less lax because you have benefit of being pseudonymous.

he speaks like a child. none of what he says is specific only to the Bitcointalk forum, or to any social networks. if he went out into the real world among real people and tried to communicate with anyone, he would notice that similar communication rules apply there. maybe in a slightly different form, but the essence is the same.

I disgree, It perhaps used to be, but now the essense is far more toxic here than in real life. Plus, people don't care much about busting people in real life, but here this seems to the number one way to participate in the forum. again just my two cents!

Why don't you consider uploading it to the cloud?

That is what I did with metamask phrases. I remember the password of my email. And in fact, all I need to remember is the password of my email, I synced everything, so when I log in to Gmail, everything automatically gets synced, and I have the doc where my seed phrase is saved.

I'd recommend that, it is convenient, easy.
It seems convenient but storing your seed phrase on a cloud service is is one of the most insecure way of seed storage. A lot of things could go wrong for you, from a simple account hack where your password is leaked to bigger catastrophic events where the cloud service itself gets hacked and everyone's accounts and their content is leaked where users aren't even informed for a long time while the company covers it up.




I am not the best of coders out there, but I do agree with the picture, and I am confident that my password would be neigh impossible to crack, unless google sells, it which is even less likely

I read that one of the best ways to preserve a seed phrase is to write it on a piece of paper and keep it in a safe place... Somewhere safe could be in your home out of the reach of family members and friends, it could also be a safe deposit box. But not everyone are financially buoyant to afford the services of a deposit box.

I believe we must have seen or heard about fire outbreaks, where buildings are completely erased by fire. Imagine if the owner or occupant of such a building has some Bitcoin assets, and has his/her phone, tablet, laptop and the seed phrase piece of paper in the building and everything was lost to fire. Now, this brings me to the question... Can seed phrase be memorized? It's advisable to memorize seed phrase?

I skimmed through your posts. As I understand it, you want to get a recipe for earning money so that you don’t work five days for nine hours. But where did you get the idea that this is the place where you need to earn a living? Besides, I'm quoting.


I don't know enough to be able to tell you how to make $1000 daily, but I know enough to tell you anyone who says so is a liar and a scammer. So, you should stay away from people like that.


You know, and the more research I did, the more I realized, I should keep learning and studying all the while staying away from all those self-claimed gurus that want to teach you how to make a big amount fast.

I also somehow found out that the real people who are making money or making such big amounts would never ever advertize it or try to teach it to other people in return to a couple of thousand dollars. I am not saying a couple of thousand dollars is not a big money, it is, in fact, it is a huge money where I am, but imagine you are the person that is making so much in one hour, would you go teaching people how to do that and bring more competition ?



Reading the forum from 2021, you could start participating in subscription companies.
Can you get those few hundred here to start with? To get something, you need to know what you can.
As you might expect, now a river of advice will flow that you don't really need.
Of these, I advise you to heed your own advice.


So, now is the perfect time to invest, no matter the sum. But you will need to wait, wait until it goes back at least half the price it was last year around this time. I am sure it will bounce back



I can't believe you went all this way to just bust me  Grin. Someone please give this guy a merit or two!!!

I only asked for a sort of roadmap where learning a, then b, then c, and seeing at what point, can I really start to be confident to make the first buck. I am be honest with you, this forum is a bit overwhelming because of people like you. whose sole purpose seems to be waiting to bust people, and it is only to just get merit. I get it, merit means a lot on this forum. But I would rather choose to be authentic and original than perhaps to chase merit at any cost. which is why, even though I have been a member for a while, I  only read just as much as necessary to keep my sanity and dignity intact.

Plus, you did not answer or bring any value to my query, I don't know why you decided to even jump into the conversation if your sole purpose was to bust someone or pinpoint what he did.

I will heed my advice, but again, the point of this post was not to ask for all the ways to make money, but more like a roadmap of some sort so that I could know abc first before perhaps trying to really provide valuable comments (unlike you) and advice along with making money.



What would you recommend is the most secure way to make money in this world of crypto/blockchain, web3?
Almost nothing is secure, besides having a stable paycheck with having a developer job.


Also, what are some of the things that I should learn first perhaps to build up a foundation? some sort of roadmap.
You simply learn the basics of programming, then create small personal projects until you get good enough to join a development team. It's just going to take time — not something that you can achieve overnight.

thank you for your response

Yes, that is what I meant, the basics, you know, with programming, it goes liek this:  you learn , variables, loops, functions, objects, etc, then perhaps, make your calculator, and other smaller projects along the way, you know you are getting good, and you have the exact roadmap of where to go after what section or set of skills you have acquired.

That  is what or sort of thing I had asked



The only secure way to earn money in the crypto space is to work using your skills on crypto company or simply the forum signature campaign. But all this work doesn’t guarantee you a lifetime sustainability since crypto projects usually come and go depending on how big the project you involve in. But one thing is for sure that finding a secure way of earning that sufficient to cover your salary to your job needs the same amount of time or more to your job.

I really suggest to just find side hustle in crypto like support, moderator or campaign participants here in the forum.

Seems to be a valuable answer, I didn't necessarily mean here on the forum but in general. then again, thank you.



Hey all,

I have been here for a while now, and I love how active the forum is. It is almost impossible to not get an answer to your question. For this, I thank you all.

However, when it comes to making the first buck with crypto,  I haven't settled on any one method. I have heard people trade, hodl, and do all sorts of other things yet, none seems to be the kind of thing you can do to make a living.

Well, what I mean is, none of them seem to provide the potential of freeing you from 9-5. Obviously, there are many things that I might not be seeing. So, this is the main point of this post.


What would you recommend is the most secure way to make money in this world of crypto/blockchain, web3?

Also, what are some of the things that I should learn first perhaps to build up a foundation? some sort of roadmap.

Because I sometimes get confused in all this and have a hard time connecting the dots. Having a roadmap of some sort would allow me at least to understand that it is not something that I need to learn but this is what I was supposed to already know. you know, as if I was learning a new programming language.

One of the ways of earning as I've learnt is through airdrops, bounties, testnet of upcoming projects. These require only your time, gadgets and internet to invest. And you can also go by investing in some cryptocurrency coins mostly the upcoming ones which are highly risky or just buy the major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Matic and the likes and hold until the bull run to elmake profits.

Yes,  I think, I will be getting more into airdrops and, bounty compaigns, for started, they seemed to scam you the least, although, they have risk of failure, in terms of airdorps of altcoins. bounties though require you to having followers, fanbase etc. So, learning but feel like im on the right track



According to your posts, it seems that you are looking to earn crypto in any way possible and without specifying a specific field.
At the top of this section there is a fixed topic that I think would be useful to you if you looked at it, and you might not have needed to publish this topic if you had paid attention to it : How to earn Bitcoins

In that topic, there is an identification of activities that can help you earn bitcoin (crypto) in different ways that suit your abilities, whether you are a beginner or an expert :
Useful links/posts
There are a few ways to earn Bitcoins, which differ in both skill and effort. A few things you can try:

The topic also has links to useful topics that it would be better for you to look at before deciding to choose this or that method :

A final advice: If you intend to use the forum, you must have sufficient awareness of the forum rules and approved systems (merit points, trust system...) : Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ

Good Luck  Smiley


Thank you for a very valuable post, I do appreciate it. And I believe this is the kind of post that deserves merit. not the kind that busts you, you know. I keep facing those kinds more often than the kind you just did. And as far as I know from the forum rules, the merit's initial purpose was to award value, and useful comments and to distinguish between a quality user and a trash user.  but busting is not a quality activity at all, nor an action a quality user does. but  hey just stating my personal openion!

With that being said, I am not saynig you are busting, don't get me wrong, I just said that there are many occurances that happen on the forum not only specific to my situation and they get awarded. That is unfair!



It's always about first buck after that it comes relatively easy. You could try hive.blog and engage with other users. Imo this is easiest way to make your first buck in crypto.

I'll definitely give that a try!

How I wish there was some sort of better notification on this forum, I could simply just follow this thread or like to receive a notification immediately after you post something.  Perhaps that will come too at some point
8  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How come people spend days here? on: December 26, 2022, 11:14:57 AM
I like all of your answers, and learning is what brought me here, but among the things that now starting to irritate me is the fact that some of the people here talk the talk, right? write all the good shit, and carry the signature that is the absolute opposite of what they are writing.

Personally, I am here because I believe in the crypto future like genuinely, thinking blockchain as a technology has so much to offer, and it's due to only a few people that it's got a bad reputation. But it is going in the relatively right direction and there are a few real daos /dapps, and other decentralized projects that make us believe in the decentralized world, but if this forum is to be such a holistic and pure crypto aficionado community, then it has to be that, not a place where people comment because they need their signature to be seen by as many people as possible and do their best to bust people or some other ways to gain merit.

I wouldn't be so fast as to consider a website spam, just because it now shows a popup, you know, just exit it, one click, however, if it were a stingy piece of popup, the kind that you need to click around and check boxes and shit, now that would have been really irritating.

Also, I am not sure if I got the exact popup that you did, but the ones that show up (as I checked) were accomplished through widget, div, meaning it is native on the website, that can also mean it is something that no adblocker is able to block. 
10  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why are you here? on: December 23, 2022, 10:42:06 AM
The reason I am here sometimes feels as if fate has led me because any person that is serious about bitcoin will eventually end up here I believe.

I was one of those people who were interested in making money online and especially with trading/ crypto etc. but every time I would learn a certain way, I would want to hold off from starting and really think through or try to find a person that is really making a living off of that thing. You know, and the more research I did, the more I realized, I should keep learning and studying all the while staying away from all those self-claimed gurus that want to teach you how to make a big amount fast.

I also somehow found out that the real people who are making money or making such big amounts would never ever advertize it or try to teach it to other people in return to a couple of thousand dollars. I am not saying a couple of thousand dollars is not a big money, it is, in fact, it is a huge money where I am, but imagine you are the person that is making so much in one hour, would you go teaching people how to do that and bring more competition ?

So, this is really against normal logic, and the people who actually make that much, possess more than just normal logic. I belive. 


Thus, with all this understanding, and realization, I am here to learn more and make an educated decision when the time comes!

The problem is; do you have the skill set to investigate these sometimes complex cases? Escrow is a difficult job, since a lot of the time you can't really decipher who's lying, and who's telling the truth. So, you need to come up with definite rules that you stick too, and remain unbiased through the process.

However, there's also a bigger problem here. It sounds like you'll be doing this manually, without any sort of previous experience. What makes you a good escrow? Why would someone use you, instead of using software that has been designed to eliminate risk for all parties.

If you could come up with a way of doing a trustless escrow, therefore you never gaining access of the funds, then you'd be onto a winner. However, that's definitely not something that's easy to achieve. Also, do remember a lot of places require a escrow license if you wish to act as a escrow.

I believe this has already been achieved, I know of zenland that does exactly what you describe plus, smartlink, but you will need to do a bit thorough research into them yourself find out more, as far I am I know I found zenland to be easy for newbies


Then how i make money in crypto?
I want to make 1000$ daily atleast then i see this crypto Has some point.


I don't know enough to be able to tell you how to make $1000 daily, but I know enough to tell you anyone who says so is a liar and a scammer. So, you should stay away from people like that.

Hi i tought that would be Nice to share with you the idea.
Crypto Are perfect way to provide escrow service for sellers buyers and other services.
For example: big city like London one person want to sell furniture but there is issue with trust so i tought i start to provide with 2% fee escrow service If we grow bigger then i can hire more people so that we can provide all kind of escrow service with crypto.

Yes there is some escrow services existing but i think it would be better to create one that is much better and everybody Will trust this service.

I figured that crypto can be perfect way to make it safe aswell and no third party distrubtion.

I think i can work allmost 24/7 enough to make this thing to work.

The more experinced and smarter guys here then i am could be the judge here over my idea.

I believe there are already such services, one of them is smartlink, the other is zen.land, so, you might be a bit too late, or perhaps not. But the fact is the decentrzlied escrow already exists, they are just not as mainstream because, well, I don't know why but they should actually be, because they are the safest escrow alternatives

I don't know why it's strange for someone when they see that someone spent hours, days or months on a forum, and it's not strange that people spend hours every day on social networks, watching TV or playing games. In the end, everyone chooses how to spend their time, why should it be someone else's concern.

Do you guys make a living commenting and being here or are you really that passionate about web3/ crypto and blockchain?

Some are passionate about gambling, politics or the forum serves as a place where they offer their services or sell digital or physical products. Everyone has their own reasons and not everything is as it seems at first glance.

I wasn't criticizing, I was merely curious, well, quite curious in fact, to see that there is a forum of such significance and I somehow stumbled on it. But people seem to be dedicating their lives to it. I am sure it would have been interesting for any one

Hey all,

Although I have been interested and in and out of this forum for a about year now, it is only recently that I decided to get serious and learn and perhaps chat here to get more real insights from people with more experience and knowledge.

But one thing I noticed is that many people spend hours upon hours here, like really long hours, which made me think, like how come?

Do you guys make a living commenting and being here or are you really that passionate about web3/ crypto and blockchain?
17  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is Bitcoin Core and Escrow? on: December 20, 2022, 07:36:30 AM
I don't know much about bitcoin core, but I can help you with Escrow.
There is nothing hard to know about bitcoin core, it is a wallet that has the whole blockchain download, wallet and routing which it is using to send validated information about transactions and blocks that are mined to other nodes. People are using it because they want to have privacy, some people are using it because they want to be the part of the the nodes of the bitcoin network, but there are many other ways to have your own node.

So, essentially it is just a device that keeps the information about transactions on bitcoin blockchain, turns out. So, why? then to make a device to keep all that on a device? what is the benefit or the purpose of it? I think it would have been much easier and more efficient to keep it online and enable access through browsers no?
18  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is Bitcoin Core and Escrow? on: December 20, 2022, 06:48:59 AM
I don't know much about bitcoin core, but I can help you with Escrow.

Escrow means: it is a document kept in the custody of a third party according to google. But that document doesn't have to be kept in the custody of a centralized third party.

Now there are many tools that deploy smart contracts that do essentially what escrow can do on blockchains. So, your escrow will be deployed on the blockchain, and only you and the other person can have access to it. So, I think that will be more popular than traditional escrows.
19  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why people are always in a sinkhole situation on: December 19, 2022, 12:19:24 PM
I would say, it is not just greediness or any one of the bad behaviors. It could simply be a lack of experience in this crypto world, coupled with the desire to make extra money because they need it.

I personally almost fell into this crap, I work at a dead-end job, and it's been about a year,  I have been interested in crypto world, and now slowly starting to understand this world. But there is so much to learn and understand you know.

But when I joined, I really wanted to make money and thought even perhaps it was possible to make money, since those self-proclaimed gurus were (as per their claim) making it.  

I wouldn't say, I was greedy nor I am, I just don't like my job and I am looking for a way out, the problem is that one of the ways that I thought was out, wasn't really out unless I was quite a knowledge which requires lots of learning and experience, which itself comes at a financial cost and time-wise.

So, I think people are going to keep falling into those schemes, and keep making mistakes. It is not changing any time soon, and to quote it is mainly due to greediness wouldn't not have been the  full picture!

I could see making money,  2x or 3x possible is by finding those altcoins before they release, at their private pre-seed offering, and investing early, and dumping as soon as they release, or whenever your cliff allows you. but finding one isn't that easy, and it is not always the case that the coin increase in value. So, that is also a big risk!

20  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kevin O'leary vs CZ on: December 19, 2022, 11:54:58 AM
Kevin is known for having some bad investments despite he's a good talker and if he's attacking CZ and defending FTX then there's really the loyalty part of him probably paid to talk and protect FTX.
Well, CZ is also at his fault but he has the right to protect himself too and point out who he thinks is telling lies, so both of them will just have to say whatever they feel. At the end of this, this drama is clout chasing and gathering attention for them, still good exposure for both as usual.

I personally am not a big fan of Kevin's but not CZ's either. He has quite the centralized business in a decentralized world, which is quite weird if you ask me  Grin >
