it’s just either farming and keeping them for some reason best know to them.
They intentionally neglect the accounts for the main time and will probably comeback someday.

If I had to guess, it'd be some kind of farming rather than the theory LoyceV proposed--but despite the fact that such behavior is odd (and by 'odd' I mean suspect), I've long since given up on questioning why these members do shit like this.  I just assume there's something going on whereby they're trying to abuse some feature of the forum, most likely sig campaigns and the like.
You can’t be far from the truth, probably the end result of all the spam or shilling, lately I tend to see such accounts in the altcoin discussion making similar kind of post with some mentioning of bitcoin and some related crypto topics while ending up with suggesting some shitcoin as the base of the discussion. It seems organic in their pattern posting just like the op identified.

This is my highest level of confusion, I have speculated upity for bitcoin for October but it seems I was wrong all the time, this time I don’t even know what to expect yet I still believe that we are not going all bearish in this time , we have less than 3 months to go for the end for the year so bitcoin could still do something different from what majority is saying online.

While the majority expect an uprise in the next year, some people say 2026 will put us into a bearish market. The four-year cycle is now becoming unpredictable. We are in a bull market without an altseason. The altcoins have been dumping as fuck while Bitcoin passed 120K multiple times and stayed over 120K for a long time. Many altcoin investors are now stuck with their investments. I personally am waiting for the alt season, which is unlikely to happen in this cycle.

So you are not alone who is in confusion at this moment. I have actually already spent half of my Bitcoin investment elsewhere. Probably, I will give up on altcoins too if nothing changes in the next few months. I will wait till mid-2026 for an altcoin season.
I personally think that the altcoins season that we know may not happen anymore for some reason that it probably might have been shifters and bitcoin will reach a new ath without an altcoin season happening basically the only hope I had for altcoin season to happen again was because trump said something like “This is trump crypto season” if am correct but I can’t remember exactly that will only be the hope that we can still have something in the rest of 2025 but if doesn’t that will really hurt a lot including you.
3  Other / Meta / Re: Loophole in the No referral code (ref link) spam rule or not? on: September 30, 2025, 12:15:08 AM
What if a user creates a website and that website hosts a referral link or ref links to other service website(s) and then he comes to the forum and makes most of the posts while linking to the host website only?

Is he going against rule Number 4 or not?
I understand what your talking about, a website like (linktree) that allows you to compile links and share it in one link? Of course if referral links are prohibited it would definitely be against the rule number 4 but is referral links are not totally prohibited but only spamming it is prohibited then it’s not breaking the rule number 4.

But from what I understand from the forum if you share such link, it may not be detected fast but if finally it is noticed as spam, it will be automatically be deleted and you will probably have a punishment for it.

It says "no referral link spam" this simply means so long you are not spamming the forum with referral links then it's fine to share and I believe that is why signature campaigns are still a thing.
Even if you are not, if your post has referral link 90% it can be deleted by the mods if reported. The only exceptions if you made a whole new quality/thread post explaining things and recommend stuff, this happens on a freebitco.in thread with referral code on it before, idk where it is now though.
The signature is different from having referral code because it is the signature space not on post.
From the perspective Mia Chloe is talking about, spamming is the actual rule not the referral codes or links. He only likened approved referral links to be signature campaigns which he is correct too.

I remember that some campaigns assign signature campaign codes to each member in their PMs because they want to keep track of how many people the signature codes attract and how often people click on those links which at the end they expect new sign ups with your tracking codes, that’s mostly same thing as referral codes. If this example I gave is true because I can’t remember where exactly I read something of that nature!

I don't like how they can just go in and simply try to bully the admin into censoring services they don't like.
So we are indirectly being controlled too, because there is no theory that can explain this better to me than this, what heck is this? Every privacy related stuffs is a threat to the SEC and possibly should be taken out by all means.

It’s sad that we just have to go through this shit! Anyways most of us already accepted the  fact that mixers banned will probably not come back to the forum and we just have to deal with it and not push things too further.

Those of you who already know and can differentiate between investing and trading should be willing to guide those who don't, not call them stupid. Because most people who trade by buying Bitcoin are still learning, and some of them still don't understand the difference between investing and trading, so they often think they're the same.
Many people are new to cryptocurrency and don't know much about investing or trading.
Perhaps you seem to be new too and do not know or understand the difference between bitcoin and crypto hence when you want to talk about bitcoin like this thread is discussing about you should stick to the word bitcoin and not to sound vague using the world cryptocurrency which is generalizing in nature hence categorizing bitcoin with some kind of shitcoins.

Bitcoin is the anchor of this thread and when you want to refer to it you should call bitcoin bitcoin and not cryptocurrency, the thread says buy buy buy and sell sell sell which is (buying and selling of bitcoin only).
6  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: What is the worst thing that can happen when you diversify? on: September 29, 2025, 10:27:49 PM
From an investors point of view. Do not stack all eggs in one basket, eventually I have seen many comments from members here and outside this board talking about about having Bitcoin as the only asset for investment. It got me wondering, what could possibly go wrong if after having a comfortable size of bitcoin in your wallet while diversifying into other asset outside of bitcoin and crypto in general.

Irrespective of how we trust bitcoin, i feel there are advantages that comes with diversification. Diversification is a risk management strategy. It helps reducing the risk of losing out on one investment. This means you will have more stability for holding onto your bitcoin even during potential drop in price.

What is your thought on this?
of course diversification is not bad as it is perceived in all other discussions, but it is only bad when you do not have a good quantity of bitcoin then you decide to diversify only to end up accumulating shitcoins, or probably assets that are worthless than bitcoin. At this point diversification is not good but when you have enough, bitcoin as an asset or the main asset, then you can decide to diversify probably add one to the top 10 list of altcoins hence diversification is valid. Or probably investing in stocks, bonds or real estate. At that point diversification is the best thing you can do. Everyone has different opinion so don’t feel less of your opinion.

If I can remember vividly, I tried my possible best to develop the best patterns to win consistently even tried checking out strategies online, asked Ai etc but to no avail gambling is just want it is no matter the smartness you will probably never get to beat the casino or the house edge, even in the old days it has been so, so not now that we will change it! It’s just best we do the once we can if it plays outright better!
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Back then, people gambled whole Bitcoins - imagine the value today on: September 29, 2025, 09:44:58 PM
Sometimes I feel like Bitcoin started off in the wrong hands, with the wrong people.. The real essence of HODLing for long-term wasn't part of their plan, but who knew the value would rise this high? We all know of someone else that bought a pizza with thousands of it.
That feeling is mutual! But guess what? Even we were the ones back then that had the opportunity, we’ll probably do worse, no one could just see the future or predict the future while some had a little belief in it some had it so much that they don’t need much task to earn at least 10 to 20 BtC in a day hence gambling with 160+ was just like staking 160 bucks in today’s USD value. Crazy how bitcoin turnout but it definitely was worth it for them in the early days.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alcohol + Gambling = Recipe for Disaster? on: September 29, 2025, 09:37:49 PM
Have you ever gambled while drunk, either in physical casinos or online? Did it change the way you placed bets, and how did it turn out for you?
In my culture (I mean how I grow up) gamblers have a stereotype and drunker have similar stereotype and if you eventually find yourself doing the two from our perspective over here, you’re gone, I mean your life is totally ruined and would take only God’s grace to bring you back, if this is how we see this two behavior do you think I will for any reason make such mistakes ? Of course not!
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Strategy EVP Cashes Out $3.6M Before Bitcoin Slump on: September 29, 2025, 02:37:35 AM
Microstrategy sold stuck before the slight drop not bitcoin if am correct but that basically is not supposed to have connections with bitcoin even though the company has a lot to do with bitcoin, yet the most important thing is that not even microstrategy insiders knows anything about bitcoin next move for the next minutes, so whatever thy did in my opinion is just a simple action that was necessary for them but was a little too close to the time bitcoin or the market was about to do the slight dip.
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: September 28, 2025, 10:34:37 PM
We should buy Bitcoin for the long term, and put a lot of effort into it, people succeed because of hard work! So we should be careful when we buy Bitcoin for the long term, sell it when the price goes up, then they can make a very good profit

You sound confused Albert David .  You say buy for the long term but sell when the price goes up.  That does not sound like buying for the long term to me.  

How long do you consider to be long term?  and how much profit do you want to have when you sell the bitcoin you bought?  When you sell are you planning to buy back at a lower price?  how do you make any progress in building your bitcoin holdings (for the long term) if you have goals of selling when the price goes up?

There have been guys buying bitcoin for years and their profits are 3x, 5x, 10x, 50x, 100x, etc etc.. depending on when they got in and how long it might have had taken them to build their bitcoin position.

Some guys can build their bitcoin position in a short period of time, such as less than a year, but most people (who are really long term), it may well take them a couple of cycles to build their position, with each cycle being 4 years.
Perhaps you JayJuanGee said better things yet i will still have to put Albert David that he seem to be confusing trading or gambling for investment, if you want to talk about long term investment be consistent with your words.

It takes at least 2 to 3 cycles for one to be able to accumulate some amount of bitcoin prior to when one would be taking profit, and perhaps judging from our registration dates in this thread it seem more like we still have 1 or more cycles to keep accumulating before we can take the discussion toward taking profit when the market is up, hence I consider selling discussions to me premature for now and should be more focused on gathering as much as we can.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Live bet risky for betting companies on: September 28, 2025, 09:56:13 PM
Do you know how long it takes to build a sport bookie ? Or casino or running it? All that synchronization with live games or matches are some of the things that makes it take so much time for be launched or in use so all that has been put in to consideration that is to protect them from having losses to users or complains from customers about their services, they have to do all that it takes to put that together. In all, it’s not a loss to the company as they already escaped the market flaws of time and score synchronization.
13  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Can Bitcoin Really Protect People from Inflation? on: September 28, 2025, 09:03:52 PM
The question is Do you think Bitcoin will ever become stable enough to truly act as a reliable protection against inflation?
Do you think stability makes a currency hedge against inflation? Bitcoin is far better and will always because it’s the only currency that grows or appreciates in value unlike fiat. It’s volatile in short term but very appreciative in long term.

So bitcoin is not your shield against inflation but a hedge against it, instead of holding fiat that will value in a long run hold bitcoin instead but then keep some fiat for a short period.

One thing about inflation is that if inflation increases so much the profit bitcoin gives you for holding in the long run becomes equivalent to the days of not inflation and no bitcoin investment becomes, if a car would cost 1 million naira and inflation increases it to 5 million but the you had one million to buy the can but invested in bitcoin and bitcoin give you 4 million profit it will still afford the same car that it would have afforded at 1 million, so bitcoin can help you buy inflation can keep you in the same level with high amounts in your balance.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Point Spread Betting Can Be a Smarter Play on: September 28, 2025, 08:47:22 PM
Moneylines has been the way for long but I already knew about the point spread like my friend usually use it, it’s more like someone who knows the team/club can use point spread better just like you said it now seems like a skilled based but it’s not, I can remember my friend always betting on corners in a game and how many corners it will end with and sometimes it goes closer and he wins even when his team fumbles and it’s good. Like the title asked, I think you can easily use point spread when you’re a fan of a failing team, that can help not to just choose your favorite to win.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has died 440 Times.... on: September 28, 2025, 08:32:41 PM

Peter Schiff, this gentleman kills Bitcoin whenever he gets the chance and last declared Bitcoin dead on July 28, 2025. With this, he has declared Bitcoin dead the most times, a maximum of 19 times.
A very small minded human he is! Most of us already knew that he is just a clout chaser wanting relevance on X and media attention.

During his birthday this year he begged for bitcoin but refused to use the appropriate word instead he said he is asking for donations but it should be in form of bitcoin and a wallet address shall be provided, I couldn’t see him less than an idiot from then just deceiving his fans in my opinion.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Sports Betting Here to Stay? on: September 28, 2025, 04:51:23 PM
Perhaps we can say that sport betting is the most popular and long lasting game compared to casino games like slots etc and of course it is here to stay, as long as those sports are still here and we engage in them and are still fans of this sport bets then they will definitely stay as old as the human race. Countries participating in competition with each other in sports like football amd NBA is enough reason what sport betting will stay more.

This is not the first time I’m hearing this stories but of course your not a bad friend either but you are also not a very encouraging friend in my opinion, we can’t just see his part as the poor one because he wants to take a risk which we are not sure of and perhaps if he had gotten the assistance you would probably benefit from it. So at this point it’s about the money, and generally the rich are know for one thing being money oriented and since he didn’t get the need from you he had to distance it’s normal in my opinion and next he will probably prepare for his lucky day and never run to anyone for assistance.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: The Economics of Scarcity on: September 27, 2025, 11:30:27 PM
Make do of the available resources to the fullest! You don’t always need the whole world to be fine, you just need a little of what you can use the resources for, they say people do not always realize what they have until they loss it, so as humans we have all it takes but the greeds in us makes us feel like it’s not enough for our wants.

What I recommend is, go for your needs and not your wants as such you will be satisfied. What you want is always beyond your capacity and our needs are always within our reach. Needs are not always too scarce like wants.
20  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: I'm worried about the current exchange rate, aren't you? on: September 26, 2025, 11:30:21 PM
Even though I know the Government regime is a very poor one for that matter with all kind of manipulations and excessive control of power, I still see the economy to have begin to make changes but I still do not trust any of this even as the fiat vs dollar price keeps depreciating because the most common thing you can see in Nigeria is that things try to get better once we begin to approach the next election and the government in power starts working aggressively to convince us, I see this as one of those agendas
