With the new year the cryptocurrencies market cap touched the 1 Trillion now.

Many forum members are against me and filled petition to ban me
But I am still here.
I think this is my good luck.

May be I get banned but still I am thinking that I am lucky.

[This is only due to the ATH of the Bitcoin.]

I'm suprised that the first place isn't bitcoin.org neither bitcoin.com, but blockchain.com:
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/blockchain.com

Blockchain.com ranks #3641 in the global internet engagement.

Others:
btc.com (#9837)
bitcoin.org (#9942)
bitcoin.com (#11033)
bitcointalk.org (#14174)
blockchair.com (#14438)
bitcoin.it (#44283)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5263950.0

Now the Blockchain.com is on #1686 (goes up)


btc.com    #11489 (goes down)
bitcoin.org    #7530 (goes up)
Bitcoin.com    #7139 (goes up)
Bitcointalk.org    #12085 (goes up)
Blockchair.com   #12490 (goes up)
Bitcoin.it   #43541  (goes up).

This is a good improvement after six years and I think it will up more.

This is only due to the ATH of the Bitcoin.

I propose in this topic to collect well-known methods of stealing personal data, followed by the theft of a crypt.  I'll start by myself and will supplement the post with your "examples".
 One common example:
 Phishing
 A phishing site aims to obtain a password and username for an account.  A site with the same design is being created, but the name of the site (name) may differ by 1 letter, and it will not be noticeable at a glance - you entered the login password and you can expect trouble.

 Do not google the address of the exchange, remember the address

 If you can't remember, add to bookmarks

 Do not use the same and simple passwords: add characters, and also use different registers.

 Use 2FA

 In the exchange settings, set the confirmation for the withdrawal of funds

 If you are logged out, check the site address carefully

 Mailing list - a letter may also come with a request to confirm the data with a request to send a username and password
 Social media - can distribute links to phishing sites, forms, and the like.
 Viruses
 I got caught in the open that I use the ctrl + c keys to copy the wallet, and when you insert ctrl + v, your address is replaced with the address of the scammers.
 There are tips that for trading it is better to use a separate computer, laptop ... which are not used for spending time on the Internet in order to reduce the risk of catching a virus.

 I think there are many more ways, throw tips.
 PS.  I just noticed a slightly similar topic in the section - Exchanges, I really did not see it.  But it seems that there is only about the acc on the exchange.  If something goes wrong, you can remove it.

Here are many Elder Brothers/Sisters and also Older members.

[Don't trust on them whom you don't know.Many are trapped in these fraudulent activities.Let me explain in detail. My friend trapped.]

Don't trust on them whom you don't know.
Many are trapped in these fraudulent activities.
Let me explain in detail. My friend trapped.


First of all they send a message like this.


They will create greed in your heart and ask for money.
After 2 hours.


And now they will ask for fee.


After giving the fee they will block you.

One example is here.



He is showing the company license but he is not the owner


He gave the website address and ask for deposit.
And my friend deposited 350$ like picture is saying everything.


And now again they are asking for more money. Check the email.


And now withdraw is on pending


The purpose of sharing to safe all the newbies and the others. Always trust on yourself you can do anything if you have ability. So be careful.

GREED IS CURSE

¡Esta sería la primera vez que informo sobre un determinado sitio falso de electrum y descarga que está siendo fijado por Google Ads!  Al principio, trato de no consultar el sitio porque necesito una billetera electrum para mi escritorio.  Como parte del control de seguridad, leí el sitio y algo no estaba bien.  Entonces comencé a sospechar y a navegar por otro sitio para verificar y comparar los resultados después de usar el motor de búsqueda de Google.  Entonces, afortunadamente descubrí que el sitio de la billetera electrum bitcoin que intenté descargar era un sitio falso.

 ¡Así que aquí está la captura de pantalla que tomé del sitio falso de electrum que estaba siendo fijado por los anuncios de Google!  Espero recibir ayuda para denunciar este sitio falso.  ¡Gracias!

Comenzamos nuestro viaje en criptomonedas y, por lo general, no sabíamos nada más que tratar de encontrar formas de obtener buenas ganancias y soñar en grande.  Como principiante pensé que estaba aprendiendo mucho muy rápido, pero me tomó más tiempo encontrar algunas cosas muy importantes que creo que deberían enseñarse desde el principio.  Hice una lista de ellos y les doy a los principiantes con esta publicación algunos atajos para conocer y también pueden hacer su investigación.

 Bitcoin es una inversión a largo plazo.  Esto significa que compramos y podemos retener durante años.  No necesitamos comerciar y no necesitamos aprender a comerciar.  Podemos comprar y retener.

 Mejor momento para comprar.  Es raro encontrar el mejor momento para comprar.  Este año fue cuando el precio bajó mucho.  Pero si el precio sube a 100k, 15k no es demasiado y la ganancia es siempre ganancia.  Simplemente no compre después de que el precio haya subido un 2000% en un año.

 ¿Dónde está el fondo?  Compras el fondo cuando hay sangre en la calle.  Cuando escuchas a la gente hablar de que Bitcoin está muerto y no tiene ningún interés.  El mejor momento para comprar fue 2018.

 ¿Dónde está la cima?  La cima ni siquiera está cerca de donde estamos ahora.  Lo sabrás, cuando tu peluquero te hable sobre la criptomoneda y te cuente su última inversión en Ripple.  Esta es una señal de una burbuja y debería pensar en desinvertir solo entonces.

 Haz planes y aférrate a ellos.  Antes de invertir, haga un buen plan y no se emocione por su inversión.  No escuches el ruido y los influencers.  Te aconsejarán que vendas en el peor momento y te dirán que compres cuando quieran vender.

 No escuches a nadie que diga ser un experto.  En su lugar, lea lo que dice la gente sencilla que es honesta y no tiene una agenda detrás de ellos.  Mire los consejos anteriores dados en Cryptotalk y prefiera escuchar a las personas aquí de los youtubers y los anunciantes de las redes sociales.

 Busque inversiones en criptomonedas que crea que se mantendrán durante 50 años y no por lo que parece ser una mala idea, pero pueden aumentar el precio debido a las ballenas.  No necesita bomba ni vertederos.

 Aprenda dónde invierte.  Tienes que aprender cómo funciona Bitcoin por encima de cualquier otra cosa.  Primero aprenda sobre Bitcoin y luego comience el resto.

 Aprenda los términos técnicos y utilícelos también.  Usamos estas palabras como descentralización porque así es como se llaman.  No usamos ningún otro y si los traduce, solo generará confusión.  Esto también es parte del marketing y algunas palabras se prueban y se eligen.

 Cuando aprenda, sólo entonces trate de convencer a los demás.  Si no sabe por qué Bitcoin es mejor de los bancos, no puede responder ninguna otra pregunta.

 Todo esto junto con todo lo que tenga que ver con evitar a los estafadores y proteger tu seguridad mientras estás en Internet me ayudó mucho y desearía haber hecho todo lo anterior desde el primer día que me uní a este campo.  Me habría salvado más veces.

Creo que muchos de ustedes quieren ser cripto millonarios, así que aquí están algunas de las historias de personas que ahora son millonarias debido a las criptomonedas. Espero que inspire a algunas personas en el foro.
 1-Erik Finnman
 En 2011, Erik tenía 12 años cuando su abuela le dio 1000 $ como regalo, y uno pensaría que un niño de 12 años lo gastaría en juguetes y videojuegos, pero Erik era diferente, no quería ir a la universidad, así que.  Hizo un trato con sus padres de que si se hacía millonario antes de los 18 años, no iría a la universidad.  Invirtió todos sus 1000 $ en bitcoin y lo dejó por 2 años, y en 2013 cuando bitcoin llegó a 1200 $ vendió todos sus bitcoins que compró por centavos y ganó millones, y en una entrevista con CNBC dijo: "Puedo decir con orgullo  ahora no voy a la universidad ".
 2-Señor.  Herrero
 La persona que eligió ocultar su identidad durante una entrevista de Forbes, Smith era un técnico de Silicon Valley que tenía dinero que quería invertir cuando sus ojos se posaron en bitcoin, compró bitcoin por valor de 3000 $ cuando bitcoin estaba a 0,15 $, lo que significaba  compró 20.000 bitcoins!  mantuvo bitcoin durante 3 años y vendió parte de él cuando bitcoin alcanzó los 850 $, luego renunció a su trabajo y comenzó a recorrer el mundo con su fortuna.
 3-Dan Conway
 En 2016, Dan decidió que quería invertir los ahorros de su vida en cripto, después de su investigación sobre los proyectos de cripto, decidió comprar Eth, ya que todavía era nuevo y estaba creciendo en el pasado, su inversión inicial fue de 100k dólares y eso le compró 7000 eth en  un precio de 14 $, unos meses después de su inversión en eth, hubo un truco que hizo que eth bajara el precio y Dan perdió 60k.  Pero no se rindió y arriesgó más y compró 200k de etheruim a 11 $ y ahora posee 26600 eth.  Luego continuó diciendo que mantuvo su eth y lo vio crecer desde 11 $ hasta 915 $ donde vendió 11000 eth y ganó 10 millones de dólares.

 Como podemos ver, todas esas historias de éxito fueron de personas que sabían cuándo comprar en la parte inferior y guardar sus monedas y vender en la parte superior, siempre sea inteligente con sus órdenes de compra y nunca venda la parte inferior.  Hodl dará sus frutos si tiene paciencia, así que no se apresure a vender sus monedas en el primer depósito.
 Comente a continuación qué moneda cree que le ayudará a ganar su primer millón a lo largo de los años.

[If you think this is not a good post so you can report me and Moderator can ban me.But I want to know about this please]

I have made many blunders in this forum. And this post can also be a OP. But I am hungry to know about Founder Satoshi.

Here is his First post on forum.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5

And here is the last:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2228

I am hungry to know about this what happened with the Founder and where he/she gone.
Suddenly he/she disappeared.
I searched a lot about this but I didn't get the truth.
The articles doesn't match with eachother.

Please guide if there is anyone who know about this.

I want to learn therefore I start from the base.

It will help to other newbies too.

If you think this is not a good post so you can report me and Moderator can ban me.
But I want to know about this please.

Wait some are thinking that I am asking about the location of the Founder. This is not the matter. I am asking that where has he/she gone. Has he/she died or still alive. If alive so where is?

[Epidemic]

First of all we must have knowledge about Epidemic and Pandemic.

Epidemic
Bigger and spreading.

An epidemic is an outbreak over a larger geographic area. When people in places outside of Wuhan began testing positive for infection with SARS-CoV-2 (which causes the disease known as COVID-19), epidemiologists knew the outbreak was spreading, a likely sign that containment efforts were insufficient or came too late. This was not unexpected, given that no treatment or vaccine is yet available. But widespread cases of COVID-19 across China meant that the Wuhan outbreak had grown to an epidemic.

Pandemic
International and out of control.

In the most classical sense, once an epidemic spreads to multiple countries or regions of the world, it is considered a pandemic. However, some epidemiologists classify a situation as a pandemic only once the disease is sustained in some of the newly affected regions through local transmission.

To illustrate, a sick traveler with COVID-19 who returns to the U.S. from China doesn’t make a pandemic, but once they infect a few family members or friends, there’s some debate. If new local outbreaks ensue, epidemiologists will agree that efforts to control global spread have failed and refer to the emerging situation as a pandemic.

The first case was from china in November 2019
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back

That's more than a month earlier than doctors noted cases in Wuhan, China, which is in Hubei province, at the end of December 2019.
On Dec. 31, 2019, researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences were assigned the urgent task of conducting whole-genome sequencing on samples sent by the Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, which possibly contained unknown pathogens. With strenuous efforts, the institute managed to complete the mission in less than a week on Jan. 2, 2020, and they shared with the world the whole gene sequence of COVID-19, winning international recognition for their "Chinese speed.

In response to WHO’s denial that Taiwan ever alerted it to the possibility of human-to-human transmission of COVID-19, the Central Epidemic Command Center makes the following statement. 11 April, 2020
https://www.cdc.gov.tw/Category/ListContent/sOn2_m9QgxKqhZ7omgiz1A?uaid=PAD-lbwDHeN_bLa-viBOuw

The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), officially named as COVID-19 pandemic by the WHO, has spread to more than 180 countries including China. Confirmed novel coronavirus cases increased ten-fold in less than a month, from 100,000 in the first week of March to more than one million on 02 April, while more than 52,000 deaths have been reported across the world. Europe has become the new epicentre of coronavirus. More than 90% of the global COVID-19 cases are currently outside China.

Many of us are there who are just trying to stand in the forum. Many are here who are just want to earn.
And many are those who just want to learn. And some of them have both purposes.

I have seen many of the members who are just trying to stand in the forum they are making the posts and want to get the merits.
But they never give up.
And I want to suggest that keep it up. Because success comes after failure if you try try again and you will try to make the constructive posts than there will be the time when you will fully stand and will be raked up.

Like you can see these two profiles which I am going to share. One of them has 140+ post and got only one merit.
And one of them has 300+ posts but only 3 merits. But I really appreciate to them they are trying to make the constructive posts. One of them is a bounty hunter but he/she is in touch with the forum too.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2038199
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1567923

And I learned from my elders that try and try again till success. You will be succeeded one day if you never give up.
Sorry to these two persons if they hurted. But I realy appreciate to there work.

Just think If all the countries will make their own cryptocurrencies. Mean if the central banks or the state banks of the countries make their own cryptocurrencies so what will be the situation in cryptocurrencies world.

In my view.
1. If all the countries will make their own cryptocurrencies so it will start a new war between the countries. Like you can see the China USA tension or Iran USA etc.
2. The countries will prefer only their own cryptocurrency and the other will not be involved.

It is according to my mind.
If the members have the other opinions so share.
And If I am wrong so please guide me.

[For Example:]

For new members if you come online to earn money.
I want to share a simple suggestion which will help you to earn.
Suggestion is that just pick up only one way and give the whole time to the work and also hard work for it than you will get benefits from the work.

Let me explain my point.
For Example:
If you listen that the YouTube is the earning source by making the good videos so keep on it, and don't think about other sources. So make the good videos and make it with hard working. Than you will definitely stand and get success.
Just like that if you want to make blogs so this is the other way to earn by google AdSense and other ads sources. So give the time to make good blogs.

If you enter in the cryptocurrencies world so you should also choose one way here also like trading mining and others ways also ahead.

This suggestion is not only for the online work. It can be applied in your regular life too.

May be I could be wrong so I also want the right way. Please add comments to teach me.
Thanks!

15+ days my account is older and I am still on learning stage. And I think it will take 6 month or more to understand it fully.

But here I have noticed the best thing which I want to share.

That is the older members like hero and legendary and others( except the newbies who spam the forum). They always comment on a post if they have knowledge about it and suggest in a right way to the topic creator.

They do not go out from the topic and only share that information which they experienced before or learn from anywhere.

I always read the topic first and than to get information or knowledge I also read the comments of the legendary and heroes members which totally explain the topic.

And they make the topic too much easy to understand.

When I learn a topic from this forum than I make a little research about the topic to learn. ( Is it good please suggest?)

And now I thank to all older members who turn the newbies or others to the right way.

Asking for discussion, and proving me wrong, here ...

 

Many here are probably familiar with the Bitcoin price predictions based on the stock to flow model theory. The basic idea is that the price of Bitcoin is mainly influenced by the supply cycle, assuming that demand more or less stays the same. So scarcity dictates the price range, rather than usefulness.

 

I must admit that I am one of the doubters, especially because I see the usefulness of Bitcoin (not Blockchain!) lagging. Apart from investing / speculating, their just aren't many uses for Bitcoin. For coins like XLM or XRP, you can argue that they are useful, because they actually support payments across systems and country  currency borders already. But Bitcoin transactions are slow, transaction fees are relatively high, and the fixed block size limits scalability.

 

So instead of the currency becoming scarcer with each halving, who guarantees that miners and users won't simply move away to more useful coins over time? S2F models applied to Bitcoin ignore the demand / adoption side, in my opinion, and that is a huge weakness. I think that everything depends on that demand side in the future, because Bitcoin doesn't live in a vacuum (both suppliers and consumers have multiple choices).

 

So what do you think? Are the S2F models advocates right? Or will the future value depend more on adoption than on the supply side? My current position is that S2F might have value as long as there is enough adoption, but that it puts way too much focus on the Bitcoin supply (and ignores the complexity of rising transaction fees).

 

As always, interested in your real opinion (and not just "interesting topic, I agree" 😉 )

 

Thanks!

Mostly the people who comes to this forum only to get income by signature campaign or come for the bounties.

But the point is that is this forum only for this purpose. Or only the source to get information about bitcoin.
So Answer is that No it is not.

Because this forum has a lot of information in it. But mostly people ignore it.

There is the post which showing the details of all threads and also showing more details how to use the forum.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

        
The new members think that it is the source of income so it can be true. But This forum is touching all the fields which are compulsory for cryptocurrencies world.
You all should also learn about it.

I am just trying to learn and giving mostly time to the forum.
I want to start posting but I want to share two posts which helps me a lot and All new members should read these posts.

And want to say to the new members that never think about the merits because these are not compulsory thing. Just learn here you can get a lot of knowledge.

Fact is that when people post a topic for Merits than it counts in spam. And if anyone post a topic or comment to a topic to help others or to give knowledge to others than definitely the post Merited by the members ( I am saying after eyeing many posts).

And one more thing when new members comes they never go to the pinned posts. They just start posting which always disturb the environment of the forum.

Two posts which I want to share one is pinned post and second is posted by a member.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5184741.0

I have made my account two days ago. And I just made only 5 posts.
I am giving the whole time to this forum and getting a lot of knowledge about cryptocurrencies world.

Noticed that! Here is only merited that posts which have the qualities and giving something better or new.
And also realized that here in this forum the spammers can't stand.

Want some suggestions now:

I want to make a quality post what should it has abilities?
1. Should I choose a one topic like current affairs or only bitcoin or only altcoins discussion or should I post everything here.
2. Should the post has old information?
3. Should I post only links which define my whole post.?

4. Should I reply to every one who reply to my post? ( 4th number add now because I think this is compulsory question)

Please share more suggestions and opinion.

I have made this post in half an hour so please suggest and in a better way.
Old members suggestions will help all of new members.

At the end!

Thank you all in advance.
