When I am writing the post, Bitcoin is trading at $108K. If we go back 15 years, Bitcoin had been trading at $0.01 on July 4. If you compare the price difference, then it's more than 1B%. That means from the 4th of July till today, the Bitcoin price has risen more than 100%. Who had dreamed the price would go this high in 2010? This was really unimaginable—a 1,078,000,000% increase in 15 years back. This is a reminder of what the price of Bitcoin would be after the next 15 years. Especially a reminder for those who still don't believe in Bitcoin power.
Whoever intends to hold longer, it would inspire them how the Bitcoin price has been growing from the beginning till today. Sometimes I regret why I hadn't bought a lot of Bitcoin during that time, even though I had a lot of money to buy. Maybe some people will regret in the future why they didn't buy Bitcoin today. I found Bitcoin when it was trading below $3K.
What was the price your first purchased Bitcoin?
Let's share your experience. For me, I can't exactly remember, but it was between $2700 and $2800.

I recently noticed a couple of "Merit" threads, and I was engaged in discussion too. It might be a little bit boring since this is another merit thread. But I feel somehow we need to inspire users about spending their merits. I am not talking about merit sources.
Besides that, I noticed a lot of merit sources applications popping up on Meta. There are a few users who deserve it as well; hence, theymos should add a few more merit sources.
This thread is to discuss and share your opinion about how we could inspire users to spend their merits and keep merit circulation stable. I am talking about adding something on forum features that would inspire users to spend their merits. Because I believe users, except for merit sources, aren't very interested or don't have much time to spend their merits.
Here are my ideas and suggestions to inspire users to spend their smerits. Now any user could rank up when they earned desired merits; of course, they need to reach activity requirements. I am preferring to add something like activities. Users need to spend their smerits as well to achieve the ranks.
For example, to become a Hero member, a user needs to earn 500 merits. On the other hand, he also has 250 spendable merits. On the current system, even a user who doesn't spend any smerits will rank up. So we can do something on that. Users must be forced to spend their smerits as well to reach the next rank. If he/she needs 500 merits for Hero rank, he/she also needs to spend 250 merits to achieve Hero rank. I don't think it's necessary to add any additional option for user profiles since each user can see how many spendable merits they have. This is my first suggestion; if theymos think it's reasonable, he could implement it.
Another idea is to get back merit rewards. Like spending 2 merits, the receiver will get 1 spendable merit. And the sender will get back 1 merit to their profile. And both should be spendable merits. But if this is implemented, users will reach fast to the next rank. Then the merit limit for rank-up should increase as well. For example, Hero members need 500 merits now; if this is implemented, they should have 750 merits for Hero ranks. That's how it could be balanced. But I feel the first idea is better. No need for many changes to the forum software.
Feel free to drop your suggestions as well.

Last week, I visited Hong Kong. When we were on the market, we discovered a couple of physical Bitcoin exchanges. Whenever I visit any other country, I try to discover a Bitcoin exchange or shop where Bitcoin is accepted. So I took a photo from my curiosity. Though I haven't sold or bought Bitcoin from there, I feel good that at least there is an option to sell or buy our Bitcoin physically. But their selling and buying prices are a big difference, which is quite disappointing to me. Selling and buying rates should be near so users can easily exchange. I have been using a crypto card called Redotpay, and its origin is Hong Kong as well. So it wasn't necessary to sell my holdings there, and the rate was also quite disappointing compared to a centralised exchange. As a crypto user I become excited whenever see something related crypto in real life.  |

I noticed a post in the Beginners & Help section; in the first post, he is inviting people to his Telegram channel, where he has been promoting mining that looks like a scam to me. His posts are in Arabic, so I will ask if you know Arabic; please let us know more details about this scam. Bitcointalk post: https://archive.is/1obmlScammer profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3704267Website: https://miningrace.comTelegram channel: @CryptoGoldMinee He just joined today to make his promo post on the forum. He chose the Beginners & Help section, likely to attract newbies. From Google Translation I realised you have to buy a subscription and invest to get a good return from their so-called mining. As previously seen, all of the online miners are just Ponzi schemes. I think this would scam well. Just avoid contacting this user. |

I believe most gamblers of the forum often visit this gambling section. But I regret to see that often we have been seeing a lot of allegations of scam accusations about gambling sites that are inactive on their official announcements. Even their representatives aren't active on the forum as well. I am just wondering how lazy a gambler is who doesn't even want to bother reading their official announcement thread and doesn't read their reviews here. But after being scammed they create accusation.
If an allegation is raised about an inactive gambling site, we can't even expect a reply from them. In such a case, the victim becomes hopeless. But before becoming a victim, he didn't come here or didn't want to find the announcement thread.
Before starting to gamble on a site, you can simply search their announcement thread here. If they exist on this board, simply read about them and see what others said. If they are active and supportive, then you can try to play there. Besides that, you may read their profile if they have negative feedback from DT members.
So, I will advise to check their announcement thread before jumping on a gambling platform. You can ignore positive reviews by brand new users since they can be manipulated. At least try those who are very active on this board, and the team are supporting their gamblers. So it will reduce the potential risk of losing funds through locking accounts, etc.

Do you know when people notice your financial progress and success, they would be interested in Bitcoin? Another truth is, no one wants to hear failure's words. So only when you are a successful Bitcoin and crypto user, then others will follow you. Even they will ask how you are doing so without even doing any big business or job. So if you are a failure and lost a lot from crypto, you won't be able to inspire someone else.
Before eight years ago, when I was a newbie in crypto and learning, I shared about crypto and Bitcoin with my nearest friends. Today I have my own home, and when they see my lifestyle, they regret "why we didn't hear you". A few months back, before the pump, I told them again, still you can enter on Bitcoin. But they said it's too late, and I wasn't able to convince them. They were my childhood friends.
Last month, I sold USDT to my two friends; they will buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. One of them bought a handsome amount, and he is investing with the DCA strategy that I teach him. These two friends aren't my childhood, but they live near me where I built my new house in the city centre. Of course they are my best friend; otherwise I can't share with them regarding Bitcoin since it's not legal here.
I was able to convince them because of my success and financial progress. They always ask me how I developed myself, so I shared with them about my crypto journey. Of course I explained to them very well about the potential risk. I teach them about charts and related things about Bitcoin. So they start accumulating Bitcoin and some other crypto, according to them. I am still guiding them and helping them to buy Bitcoin.
So I believe your success and progress would easily inspire others to get involved with Bitcoin. What do you think?

It's true I was not much active for a few months due to my personal issues. But my source merits weren't wasted at all. I have used all my source merits every month. I am fully active from this month and will continue my contribution to the forum. I feel my source merits aren't enough for me right now. I have failed to merit some posts due to lack of source merits. I admit I am the top merit contributor on the rank-up threads because I love to help people to reach their desired rank. Some of you may take it negatively, but I still love to help them there. So at this stage, I feel my source's merit allocation should increase to increase merit circulation to the forum. Hope Theymos will consider my request. |

As we all know, any centralised exchange shouldn't be treated as a crypto wallet. Well, even if we don't store the funds in exchanges, we still need to use them, though we can use decentralised exchanges. But many of us have been using centralised exchanges due to many reasons. So even if we buy coins from the exchange, we need to move our funds into there and buy coins. Later we can move to the non-custodial wallet.
I will share my own experience. Binance freezes my funds when I receive funds from my clients. Because one of my clients sent BNB from a mixer. However, eventually Binance returned my funds but restricted my account, so I can't use Binance anymore.
The second story was learnt from the scam accusations board. Bybit asking him for transaction details with videos of where he got the funds. That user also used a mixer to send funds to Bybit 5 years ago. So Bybit is asking for proof source of funds, which is impossible.
So what we learn is that funds shouldn't be deposited to a centralised exchange directly from any third party. You should bring the funds into your non-custodial wallet first. Then you should use CEX to buy crypto coins and move them again to a non-custodial wallet. In the meantime, if the exchange is about the source of funds, you can show them with video proof, etc.
So just be careful.

This is the reply drawn my attention, No investment advice, but you can contact me on WhatsApp +1 6365877052
Someone made a thread in the altcoin section where he wants to stake but doesn't have enough knowledge about DeFi. A newbie replies to him and invites him to talk through WhatsApp. I don't know what his intention was; it could be good or bad. This isn't an allegation, actually, but a warning. This way, scammers invite you to talk, and they might motivate you to invest somewhere. They might show fake screenshots or proof to convince you. And some innocent greedy people would fall into the trap and lose everything. So just be careful of such invitations. Rather, it's better to discuss in public places. |

This is kinda funny and looks like joke. But I take it seriously since he might scam or there is physical hazard on F2F deal. Hi there. We are looking for a serious vendor that can offer a trade exchange service for USDT (TRX) to BTC -Total of 20K BTC is required, can start with 2K -Discount of minus 6% net from market rate, 8% gross, -Can work with the following terms but preferably meet in HKG to finalize the deal Both parties sign contract, 1) Buyer sends Handshake USDT 8.98 (ERC20) 2) Satoshi 0.000099 3) Seller sends BTC 4) Buyer sends USDT (TRX) 5) Seller payout fees 6) Tranches are continued until the total amount has been met Any serious offer, email me at cqa3000@proton.meCheers! BTCBTCBTCProfile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3242904He woke up/become active after a year and asked for a bulk amount of Bitcoin, which is 20K. He wants to exchange USDT with a commission where he can buy BTC from an exchange without any commissions with just exchanging fees. Also, a face-to-face deal would be a physical hazard. Tagged from my end. |

I noticed user Kavelj22 post in the gambling section that's been looking like a readymade template. So I visit his post history and discover he has been copy-pasting his own post. It's probably for the signature campaign's post count on the gambling section. You may look below; I found three of the same post and stopped browsing his profile. There would be more copy-pasting if you search more. I think three is enough to prove about his copy-paste. I really like the presentation in your first post ANN thread as it looks so professional. Some say that you did researches before posting here but i think you are already familiar with forum features and rules. I will take a look at the casino features later before posting a quick review.
I want to ask you about if you have a valid licence as i noticed the mention that this a fully anonymous casino. How you aim to build trust at least within our community here in bitcointalk?
And also if you have future plans to lunch advertisment campaigns here in bitcointalk forum. Signature campaigns are so profitable in terms of bringing more good traffic. Better to contact a campaign manager.

I have learnt a lesson: we must secure our profits during a bull run. We must have a goal about our holdings and need to set a target where we have to sell. Otherwise, like me, you may regret it later. I am holding a couple of major altcoins like Solana and Ethereum. A few days back when Trump launched his own token, SOL was pumped hard. It was nearly $300, but a couple of days ago it had dropped $117.
So the gap between the top price and the current price is a lot. That has driven me to think we should have a goal and sell when we reach our target. If I were sold in a top or near-top, then I could buy it again at a cheaper price. Also, I would have a handsome amount in profit. What do you think?

Compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum seems undervalued. I am not sure if I made a mistake by holding Ethereum. Monitoring for a long time, but it doesn't want to go up. Though Bitcoin pumped a couple of x, Ethereum still seems to not want to move. I am unable to find any valid reasons why ETH is not moving. What do you think? Is Ethereum potentially better to hold or move to another altcoin? Just for information, I don't like to hold shitcoins except top altcoins. Because I have experience of loss in a big amount by holding shitcoins. What are your thoughts?

One of the replies on my post led me to think about how risky posting your centralised exchange's address publicly. Since exchanges strictly handle funds from mixers and gambling sites, then you may face the same issues as well. Let's say you have an enemy on the forum and you are receiving signature campaign rewards into an exchange. It means you posted your receiving address from a centralised exchange on the signature campaign thread. So your enemy could send small funds to your address from a mixer. As a result, your account will be frozen and closed. So it's pretty risky posting your exchange's address publicly. Always use a noncustodial wallet address when you are posting publicly. |

Long story short, I had been working with a client for a long time. Always I received funds into Binance. I received it there because he sent me BNB always, and I need to convert it to USDT to pay my team members. They also use Binance, so it was pretty easy for me.
A few months ago, my client sent 14+ BNB from his address that was associated with mixer. So Binance seized those funds, including my balance there. There was also a big amount that I bought altcoin. So due to investigation, they frozen my account.
After a lot of talk with support, they enabled withdrawal after 3 1.5 months. So immediately I withdrawn all the funds and stored them in my hardware wallet and my funds are safe. But they noticed a week ago they are going to deactivate my account permanently, and no longer I can use Binance.
I am just letting you know it because I am suffering from mistakes I never made. However, my client was friendly enough, and he was ready to compensate all my funds that Binance seized in case I couldn't recover them.
So you guys must be careful when using Binance and receive funds from unknown sources. And don't store the funds in Binance, because for any mistakes, your account would freeze as well.

Someone from my nearest friends was looking for the Melbet channel, or Portal. I am not much experienced in that, but I heard this is a kind of affiliate portal that handles withdrawals and deposits for gamblers in local currency, from which channels or portal owners get a good amount of commission. If someone knows about this, write in detail. My friend is requesting that I look here and get this kind of portal from Melbet. I can't see any official threads here made by Melbet.

I am The Cryptovator (formerly Coolcryptovator). I am a campaign manager and have managed 11 signature campaigns so far successfully. I was a Best_Change signature campaign participant that has ended recently; occasionally, I have managed the Best_Change signature campaign as well when their manager was on vacation. So currently, my signature space is empty. If any company or person wants to hire my signature space, they are welcome. I know there are a couple of gambling signature campaigns with open spots. But they were forced to make 10 posts weekly in the gambling section. Since I am not good at writing gambling posts, it will be hard to make 10 posts that would look like spam. So I will highly appreciate non-gambling offers or less post-gambling campaign offers. Some key points about me:1. All my merits are earned; I joined the forum after the implementation of the merit system. 2. I am a scam buster. I have busted 71 scams so far. 3. I am a DT1 member by 74 trusted votes & trusted by 17 DT1 members.4. I am a merit source. 5. I am a professional campaign manager. 6. Trusted Escrow, I had Escrowed all the funds for my campaigns. 7. Auxiliary Best_Change Signature Campaign Manager  Payment methods Bitcoin will be highly appreciated but stable coins or well reputed alt coins also accepted. DM me about price negotiation in case you are interested. |

A few days ago, I had an issue with Binance. For my marketing services, I had been receiving funds in my Binance account. One of my clients sent me 15 BNB there, and he had used Tornado Cash to mix his BNB. I had used Binance for trading; hence, I received funds there to increase my portfolio. So after receiving funds, Binance froze my account. Even they don't ask for any explanation.
When I contacted support, they said the account was under investigation and it would take 30 working days.
So I wait and write them on their social media as well. So almost after 45 days, they enabled my withdrawal but disabled all kinds of trading. Though it wasn't my fault and I am unaware of how clients sent funds, I suffer for that. Thanks to God, at least I was able to withdraw all the funds from Binance. I don't care, even if they don't allow me to trade there. So I moved all the funds into a hardware wallet.
This is a lesson for everyone who has been using centralised exchanges. Don't receive funds in exchanges from random people, and don't store your funds there. The account would freeze at any time for any reason.
