For noobs, HODLing is a term used for "holding" your assets (here: Bitcoins) for a very long time. But, isn't it true that those who bought it at $500 once should have sold it at $20k peak, and if not, why didn't they sell at $15k? BTC didn't crash all at once and they had the opportunity to sell and wait for another opportunity. A $15k per BTC against a $500 BTC - means a 30x return itself. And BTC crashed to $3k, if not $3k, then these hodlers would have bought back at $6k which is even less than half of $15k as they would also have added a lot more liquidity to the markets with too much money on the table. Isn't it true that too long a hodl can stop you from taking great opportunities while sitting dumb and waiting for a specific target?

Pornhub now accepts Bitcoin (BTC) and Litecoin (LTC) as payment for its premium services. The company has been accepting Verge since 2018, later adding several other cryptocurrencies, but this is its first foray into the major leagues. Pornhub’s vice president Corey Price said in the press release:

“As a leader in adult content with over 130 million visitors per day, Pornhub is excited to now offer two widely-used and leading digital currencies for our users. Our team continues to pave the way for tech development, testing and implementing new technology for everyday consumers far ahead of the mainstream market.”

I believe this is what we need, perfect timing for BTC to skyrocket like a huuuge ..... You know what I mean  
Anyways, jokes apart, but really, BTC has been holding its values since it was invented and I believe that's the reason why it's a successful story and has also created many many success stories for all the investors (come on, you, me and every guy here would have enjoyed f**king a girl with our BTC some night). (Ironically said that so to support the pornhub news hehe).

This is what I received in that group, I thought to check this out as I smelled some scam.

Everything was good, until they, in their group, started asking to send Eth and get back double the Eth.

Now, the shittiest part here, as you already know that gas fee is too high in the Eth network specifically for DeFi protocol, what these guys threw in the bot was hilarious! They sent me this:

1 SET YOUR WALLET
2 CHECK YOUR WALLET
3 SEND GAS FEE TO WITHDRAW 🦄

Then, when I gave my address, they showed me this:

yearn.finance (YFI):
🦄 My ETH Address
💹 Distribute in 09/03/2020
⛽ Send 0.005 Ethereum  to process your withdrawal.

◾ Users who caught taking only proof of others will be permanently banned

◾ Your Screen Shot of Deposit or Transaction hash 📸

TBH, I can clearly say these mofos are none from YFI's team and you won't get anything once you send them the Eth, so just don't fall for this!

And the same shit is inside YFII's channel too but I'm not going to share it. Just don't fall for these coins, they're worth so high that it's common sense nobody would give them for free.

Guys, check this thread -

Don't fall for this, it's a SCAM!

I had been playing Blackjack with fun money for a few weeks now and learning more about how it is being played, where should I Hit, where should I stand and where to double down my bet/split the cards, etc. The only major thing is that, the number should not exceed more than 20 or in some cases, 21 whereas if the dealer gets the almost same number or higher but under 21, then dealer takes it. I've won so many times that I believe I've mastered this game and should start stealing some money from casinos through this game. Do you think I should try my hands on this game with real money? Have you ever made a lot of money and made a casino helpless with this game?

There was an upward channel pattern which was being followed by the BTC dominance since past 2 years and it recently broke down below 65% and is currently down under EMA 100. Seeing the charts very carefully, I believe that some alts are definitely going to rally super hard and BTC dominance will fall down more in order to let the party continue.

There has lately been an alts' run that took place and we're all getting happy again, but do you know which one can actually make you some money? Instead of getting in any trade, it's better to study the whole market and then decide which ones have the potential to bitch out themselves hard and make you a grand winner in the end.

Check below a thread of mine, an opportunity that I served here:
Watch out for QLC.

If you believe in me, get in to gain a new result from a trade which will cost some nominal wait and has the potential to give you an awesome return once again. DLT just broke out of an important level and I see extreme possibility for this token to get above 1800 sats, though this should get down to at least ~550 sats in order to complete the retracement procedure.

Edit: Okay, I've understood that this doesn't sound good, looks messy and people believe that I've become a greedy crab who is being offered a million dollars to display another signature in his comment box hehe. Jokes apart, but it was solely because if I'd like to advertise something else with the current signature, I thought I should ask whether I can do it in the form of a signature but through my comment box. Anyways, thanks for all your replies. Appreciate them.

Hey guys, some time ago, I was asked by one of my friends to invest in bZrx protocol as they believed that this project had huge potential. Later on, it went through some hack but still investors kept believing in it as the team didn't stop the work behind the project. The pre-sale then was done at the price of 7k gwei per bZrx token and currently, it's worth $0.12.

My queries are -
Have you invested in this already?
Did you invest early or you've bought it after getting listed at idex?
Would you suggest to get in now?
Did you (early bird) already sell your stuff at 10-30x and are sitting back with your profits? Or are you guys waiting for the price to make a new ATH?

I have been watching this coin closely and it has not risen up yet, but broke some major support levels and entered bullish trend. Makes me feel like this should go at least towards 400 sats before it drops back again, and if it doesn't, then 630 sats should be the next target this beast may move towards. Pay close attention, it is going up slowly and chances are, we could see a pump any time soon. Though, this is not a "buy" advice as I'll just say - do it at your discretion.

For your info,
PTC - Paid to clicks
PPM - Paid per 1000 impressions
PPC - Paid per clicks
RevAdShare - Revenue Ad sharing websites

All these types of sites were available before when BTC used to be under $1000, where have they gone now? Do you guys know about the current state on their existence as of now?

I've been seeing so many debates about a 51% attack as well as its costs and everything else. Now, I'd like to ask this whether it should be considered a crime that is done to potentially harm / kill the network as well as destroy BTC? Can somebody, after attacking BTC, mine all the BTC in an hour or so? Can everyone become helpless to just stop their mining operations completely whenever such a situation arise? What if the attacker decides to pull out USDT against BTC and sends his coins to an exchange? Will the exchange accept the coins? Can he even make nay money by conducting such a highly expensive operation? Will somebody be even interested in making money from this or the sole intention would just be the destruction of BTC as well as the network, and to gain Monopoly and establish the rules of centralization in crypto world?

Actually, I encountered an advert of this website over Blockchain while checking a transaction recently, and read that they are allowing their users to buy XTZ (Tezos) at 50% off ($500k allocated for this) on 17-18 March only. If you are a user of crypto.com, can you please confirm if this is true?

I saw an announcement made some time ago that Bitfinex was going to have a maintenance mode today, so did it apparently served as a reason for BTC to make a jump above $10k once again? According to their tweet 3 hours ago, their maintenance was successfully finished. Shall we conclude that it was a mild pump that's over now or was it a sign of the bullish revert once again?

Hi friends, here I'm, your brother Stedsm with an updated version of a scam you all may not be aware of, as well as may also get trapped if I don't make you aware of it. So, let's start without any more shit.

Today, I was contacted by a person named Hamsi Puerta (written in his telegram name).
Unknown to me completely, I asked him who is he? He replied that he is Peter from Canada. I never knew any such guy during my whole life, so I asked him what's the matter. He asked me whether I know about crypto and would like to earn some bitcoins? I thought to go ahead with the conversation as I wanted to know if it's a new type of scam or old school again so I said Yes. He asked me to visit https://betxloot.com/, a place where you need to bet some BTC which will convert and show USD instead in the total jackpot, each round seems to be of 2 minutes which starts when at least 2 players place bets each. So, he told me that he is from their support team and he came to know about a flaw that, even though the algorithm of the website chooses a random winner every time, this flaw could fetch him constant wins during each round. He told me that he can't play with his BTC as his addresses and transactions are being monitored by the team as he looked suspicious to them and so, he wants me to play it there on their website and he'll make me a winner every time or every 3-4 rounds. He then asked me to go to the site and give him any player's name I want to choose as a winner, so I gave him and he did what he said exactly, he just made that player a winner of that round.

The catch starts now
After a long story of what I saw and how he tried to convince me, I just asked him to get to the point and let me know what do I need to do. He asked me to make a new account there and deposit BTC0.01 to their site and play, then he'll make me a winner whenever I'll place a bet. I said that I don't have BTC so if you want, you can send me some and I'll bet with yours and we can share 50-50. He started abusing and then just deleted the whole chat history and blocked me as well as deleted the chat too, so unfortunately I couldn't capture the images as it didn't took a second for him to delete everything.

How can it be a scam?
Well, 3 things are for sure:
- He is trying to lure you to play with your money on their site and even if you win, they don't pay you anything and it may prove scam as the website came into existence on 23-11-2019 (check their whois) while we don't have any reviews nor heard about then ever before.
- He is trying to bring players to their website through all this shit he talked in front of me.
- He may not make you a winner and you may lose all of your capital, or he may just show you 3-4 wins and ask you to bet all, you go all in and bang, you're fucked.

Whatever, if you are going to play there, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I'm not recommending you to play there at all and it's not a game for small fishes as minimum bet itself is BTC0.01 /jk
Don't fall for these schemes, especially newbies. I've tried my best to elaborate the situation I faced so that you may not suffer but in the end, it's your mind and your choice so use your brain wisely.

I've witnessed that the wicks (abnormal buys/sells) have already taken place in the form of sell (see 1H chart on Binance) and the flag is still not broken towards any side. What do you believe this to be? A bull flag that's yet to shoot BTC to a much higher price than even 10k? This is what happened the last time when it started forming from 7444 area between June - July, 2019 and was shot up to 13970 forming a pole, but it went sideways (or I'd say range bound) for some time with a few small movements that included those 10% dumps and furthermore. Then it broke down to 7800 and 7300 further even after the bull flag pattern. Do you think it'll be opposite this time taking us to a new high for this year? It's November and based on my calculations, BTC had always risen upwards during the last 2 months of any year. What do you think about this?

I am not one of those who are coming here to fight you, but I want to put this question because I've been watching many good posts and I don't want to send links to merit sources to merit them as they may or may not do it if they like / don't like it. Another thing is, I'm not interested in begging for sMerits at all because then, it's not worth it to send them to the deserving ones because those merits will be said as came to me as a charity.

Now, when you can decay as it's all under your authority, isn't it possible for you to add sMerits to active merits senders' profiles and see if they actively do it ahead or not? And if I don't do it, just decay them after a given timeline to me? When you can set a timeline for bans and everything, why not set a deadline for the use of merits too? This will also speed up spending of sMerits a bit more. Anyways, I'm a nobody when it comes to suggesting anything to you @theymos, but being a good user of your forum, I thought I should tell you how it feels when we see a good deserving post but can't send them merits due to being out of sMerits. It's just like a guy watching a food item, wishes to buy it but when searching on his pocket, finds nothing.

Lately, I've been getting attacked again by one of the most mentally-challenged people who don't give a fuck to their deeds and start pushing and provoking us in a debate we don't even want to have with them. This guy accused me pf signature spamming which I didn't do, but what he did should really be considered as unethical in terms of sending merits and especially sending PMs to me with all his bullshit arguments I'm not even worried to know about.

One by one all his PMs, out of which I replied over 2 just so to make this Russian pig believe that I don't just post for money. But then, he just started insulting from the first message he sent me and believes he'd get respect from me? A middle finger in his ass in the name of respect.

Tы жe нe шлюxa пoдпиcнaя, вepнo? И ecли пepeживaeшь тaк зa py-лoкaл, знaчит ты нe пpoтив пoлyчить oтвeты нa cвoи вoпpocы в ПM.

Yeah, I'm not a whore but you're a true slut, I can say that.
I never expected you to bark behind the wall but roar like a lion publicly but you couldn't even defend yourself because you know from your inner self that what you did is unjustifiable. If you believe I sig-spammed, go fuck with your "Report to Moderator" button in that thread. As well, please don't take the pain of sending me PMs in any other language except English. And yeah, that phrase suits you a lot, "When a thirsty fox became unable to reach the heights of the tree to gain some grapes, he started barking 'Grapes are sour, grapes are sour' and that's you".

Cyдя пo твoeмy oткpoвeннoмy cooбщeнию этoмy, в кoтopoм ты yжe дeмoнcтpиpyeшь пoлнoe oтcyтcтвиe интepeca к мepитaм в py-лoкaлe, тaки ты пpocтюшeнция пoдпиcнaя. Я жe тaкиx кaк ты cpaзy вижy.

Кaкoe жe ты ничтoжecтвo.

Fuck your brain with your mentality, sucker.
If you believe I'm a sig-spammer, think it that way and satisfy your ego.
And yeah, I didn't give a damn to ru-locale (based on your thinking) because you're underemployed to do so, huh? I saw the type of posts you've merited, and by calling me a whore and prostitute, you believe that I'm open to discussing things with ya, take my long dick in your fluffy stuffed ass and then, GTFO. Stop ranting because you've not done anything that's worth it.

A кaк ты мoжeшь пoнять, oбocнoвaннo я зaмepитил или нeт, ecли ты нe читaeшь и нe пoнимaeшь пo-pyccки? Oтвeт: никaк. тeм нe мeнee ты пишeшь yкзaния, чтo и кaк мнe дeлaть. Tвoи cooбщeния нe имeют cмыcлoвoй нaгpyзки. Tы кaк гpязнaя шлюxa в бopдeлe цeпляeшьcя к пoceтитeлям и c кaждым жeлaeшь нaчaть дoлгий cпop c нeбoльшoй oплaтoй зa пoдпиcь.

Пyпcик, нe мoлчи. Mнe тaк нpaвитcя нaкaзывaть тeбя пo-pyccки, бecплaтнo.

Taк и нe yдaлocь y пoдпиcнoй пyтaны Stedsm в ПM выяcнить, кaкиe кoнкpeтнo пocты тyт y нac eгo зaинтepecoвaли и пoчeмy зa ниx нyжнo выдaть мepит. Xвaтилo нa 2 бecплaтныx cooбщeния в пepeмeжкy c мaтoм и пpимитивным coдepжaниeм чeлoвeкa, пoявившeгocя c пoмoйки. Boт тaкoй one of "the most known users".

Heck, he doesn't even know about his own responsibilities and now trying to provoke me to get into an unnecessary discussion by continuous bullshit over PM. Can this attack be stopped or do I need to take steps from my end? I guess the guy's gone mad over me as I'm the victim for all his bullshit today and he wanted to eat up my brain. 

We have lately been seeing a lot of big names dipping their fingers into the sweet profitable sauce through Bitcoin's variations and tasting it nicely these days. Names coming out are some of the highly used apps in terms of daily consumption of data through their customers over these apps:

- Japan's Messaging giant Line launches an in-built crypto exchange for their 80M userbase.

- Telegram raised $1.7 billion for its TON token development and released code recently as well as Coinbase is considering on adding it to their exchange.

Still need anything more to believe that Bitcoin is actually being adopted worldwide and everyone has now started taking advantage of this old-yet-highly addictive global cryptocurrency (asset) already?

Finally, something great is gonna come to us, Bitcoiners.

My friend has a Realme 2 Pro smartphone and the stock ROM that he's using, i.e.; ColorOS 6 is not too much cool and disliked by him and me too when I used his smartphone for 3 days. Now, he wants to learn some stuff about Bitcoin and blockchain and interested in some blockchain-based DApps, but he seems to have some fear that a few apps may come with some sort of malware (he's a bit lazy and not interested in researching about it), so he's looking for a custom ROM which he wants to install - that must have blockchain-related apps come inbuilt with it. He hates the OS software updates that come every now and then in ColorOS and wishes to get freed from its torture.

At one point, my brain asked me a question that I would like to ask too.

Is it seriously safe for the smartphone if we change the Stock ROM with a newly installed custom ROM?

Does all the data remain safe and in the smartphone itself even after the installation of custom ROM?
