Almost all of them exploit emotion, as the popular topic Bitcoin and Me[1] continues to get attention and views. Therefore, creating such topics will make it easier for the individual to either obtain merit or donations (this is rarely the case). Therefore, as long as those who create these topics obtain merit, they will continue with them.

I also believe that such topics are created by accounts that have armies of alternative accounts, as it is easy to create replies to such topics and difficult to delete them.

882  Economy / Economics / Re: Worldwide Coupling Between Bitcoin and Electricity Prices on: November 05, 2023, 12:00:18 PM
Energy prices will not be fixed or uniform in all parts of the world due to the difficulty of transporting them easily from the place of generation to consumption. However, on the contrary, mining farms can move from one place to another in an easier way than transporting the energy source.
they are found at certain times, such as after floods and in places where electricity is generated from sources. Renewable and cheap. It is easier to make a profit running a mining farm than in other places where electricity prices may be high.

In other words, the average electricity price will not be closely related to the price of Bitcoin or the average cost of mining due to the huge difference in generation costs and the ease of transporting mining equipment.

I think that reading the book Mastering Bitcoin[1] and THE BITCOIN STANDARD[2] will give you the basic information that you will need to learn Bitcoin, and then watching the aantonop[3] channel will give you all the necessary information. Finally, you can search this link if you want more information ----> https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information

This information is basic and necessary for the beginning and does not require further details.

Ask here for more information or if there is anything unclear.

Can you add more information, this is the first time I heard about Sunshine Act Meetings and even the link you added does not provide much data.


Therefore, yesterday there was a slight increase in Bitcoin prices. Of course, I don’t know what issues are being discussed there, but I have heard many opinions that the adoption of ETFs is close.
I don't know why there is so much enthusiasm about ETFs. We have two months to see how things will go, but until then, theories and speculation will increase greatly, and most of them may not provide useful information or real analysis, so I stopped following such news.
885  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People are too focused on history repeating itself on: November 05, 2023, 11:18:34 AM
The black swan event in 2020 was one of the events that caused the price to make a rapid correction, but the price was able to rise again due to subsequent economic policies that approved stimulus packages and it was easy to obtain loans with an interest rate close to zero, and this matter may happen again if the Federal Reserve begins to reduce interest rates initially. From the second quarter of next year.
Therefore, during the period of 2020, I think that the price dealt poorly with one event, which was the collapse of Luna more than FTX.

if things go well, history will repeat itself, but it will be closer to what happened in 2016/2017.
886  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's your take on CEX platforms integrating DEX capabilities like swapping? on: November 05, 2023, 10:50:33 AM
This step is supposed to expand the features of the new hybrid platform so that it has all the features and anyone who wants any use will find it, whether he wants to use the platform with identity verification or not.
Is this what will happen? No, in fact, it will combine the disadvantages of both platforms while trying to defraud some users by giving them the ability to trade without requesting data from them. Try to stay away from such platforms, as they often search for hot words.
887  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin total supply, halvings and future supply left for miners on: November 05, 2023, 09:34:37 AM
I don't see a problem with buying Bitcoin, as most people will do that, but how long can you wait? Some may be able to keep Bitcoin for a year and others may be able to do so for 10 years, but the amount of profit is determined by buying at the right time and selling at the right time, and you must have the luxury of choosing the right time, otherwise you may lose your money. So investing in Bitcoin is not always profitable, but rather is governed by the simplest rules of all investments
888  Economy / Economics / Re: What is happening with Naira/dollar rate on Binance on: November 05, 2023, 09:25:55 AM
Binance p2p is not considered a representation of the exchange rate, but rather a reflection of supply and demand. Therefore, we cannot judge the decline in the exchange rate, but rather it depends on demand and supply, as I remember in Venezuela the opposite happened, as the dollar/bitcoin price was higher than the official exchange rate, so that I bought Bitcoin in the local currency and sold it. At the same moment, Bitcoin and the dollar will make a profit, so whenever you find high demand and low supply, the exchange rate will be different and may change every hour.
889  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Do You Plan to Make the Most of Your Bitcoin Investment Before the Halving? on: November 05, 2023, 09:10:40 AM
If you think that the price will rise next April, then you should change your calculations, as you need to wait +18 months, which may mean that you will need a longer time on the train or not buy clothes, which is very bad. If you think that the price will rise next April, then you should change your calculations, as you need to wait. +18 months, which may mean you will need to spend more time on the train or not buy clothes, which is very bad.
Do not wait until the price reaches +180k, as things may change quickly, so it is better to set selling accounts at 100k and not let greed control you. Finally, instead of DCA for the coming months, it is better to buy one batch and wait.
890  Other / Meta / Re: I don't have good account security. on: November 05, 2023, 08:39:36 AM
I am new to this forum and have not learned anything yet. I don't see the account security in this forum, I opened the account and got no email notification, I logged in again and still no email notification. I think security should have been given while making this account.



As much as there are no security tools, they are good for those who want to enhance their privacy. You do not need an email to log in here, but you do need it if you want to recover your account. To secure your account, you need to prepare a strong password. Make sure that you can access the email associated with the account and sign a message with the Bitcoin address. Make sure someone else has quoted it.

There is no benefit from hacking Bitcoin accounts, so most hacker attacks are for blackmail, or using the account to join signature campaigns.
891  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Will it affect you in any way if Binance completely shuts down ? on: November 05, 2023, 08:03:33 AM
The short-term impact will be catastrophic, considering that what happened with Luna will be a spectacle compared to what will happen, and the price of Bitcoin will likely decline sharply, and most alternative currencies may be affected, and the cryptocurrencies we know may disappear, as the Trust Wallet and CMC are both for the same platform.
The long-term effect will be good in enhancing decentralization and the importance of not leaving your money on the platform.
892  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are there any companys offering insurance policys for crypto exchanges ? on: November 04, 2023, 12:45:32 PM
Using centralized exchange is already a risk for everyone. But there are some exchanges that have their own emergency fund like Binance called Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU)
Where they have their own insurance which comes from a portion of trading fees generated by their exchange.

Since this is still centralized exchange, they are still the one who control it. Still risky.

Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) has these reserves:

 - https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1BAuq7Vho2CEkVkUxbfU26LhwQjbCmWQkD ----> 565 M USD
 - https://etherscan.io/address/0x4B16c5dE96EB2117bBE5fd171E4d203624B014aa  ----> 99 M USD
 - https://bscscan.com/address/0x4B16c5dE96EB2117bBE5fd171E4d203624B014aa  ----> 313 M USD

Almost a billion dollars, and a third of these reserves are in the form of BNB Balance, which may be zero if binance collapses.

according to ----> https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/binance/ Spot Trading Volume(24h) was 7 B USD and Total assets was 70 B USD meaning that SAFU represents about 1/7th of the daily trading volume and 1/70 of Total assets.
the chance of getting your money back seems to be one dollar in every seventy dollars at best.
893  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how secure are your telling fellow wo/man about this forum and bitcoin on: November 04, 2023, 12:07:46 PM
Bitcoin in my country is in a murky place, as there are warnings from the central bank to avoid trading, so I rarely tell anyone about Bitcoin or the Bitcoin I have unless it is a close friend and then it is for advice and nothing more. If Bitcoin is legal in your country and you like to meet people, create a MEETUP in your local board and invite people to introduce themselves in your city. You can log in with an alternative account until you trust the person and tell him your main account.

Some boards, such as Collectibles[1], know more about each other because dealing with physical objects requires more personal information.

894  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Pro-trend or Counter-trend? on: November 04, 2023, 12:00:09 PM
Following the trend is a good strategy if the price breaks a certain level and there is enough trading volume for the price to continue rising, but determining the exit point is the problem, as it is better to withdraw your profits as soon as they are formed, but you may have easily missed the opportunity to obtain increases of 5% to 15%. I will choose Pro-trend if the currency has good trading volume, such as Bitcoin, or an altcoin that received excellent news, such as a breakout of the support or resistance barrier.

895  Economy / Reputation / Re: Achieving a milestone is something of mind on: November 04, 2023, 11:36:07 AM
Congratulations, are you sure you wrote all these posts from your phone? I tried to try it out in my alt account, but I found it difficult to write a line, let alone write several lines. Continue to work hard, and I am sure that you will get what you want, as your participation rate compared to merit points is high, but remember that the goal in the end is not just to join signature campaigns, because I have begun to see activity for new accounts in your local board.
896  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance bitcoin wallet maintenance on: November 04, 2023, 11:04:44 AM
This maintenance usually takes place at a time when the platforms are witnessing the least withdrawal requests, and since the maintenance time is less than hours or around 3 hours, most customers rarely complain about it, but it is a reminder that all you have is a number in the database and not real money, and in some cases states you can't even sue them or demand compensation.
897  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Which exchange has the most easy to use app according to you ? on: November 04, 2023, 10:40:52 AM
I have not used any application before due to the difficulty of hiding your data compared to the web versions, as in the past it was possible to use Binance OKX without any problems with any VPN, but downloading an application means access to more permissions such as mic, phone and photos. This is a lot of data for international exchange.

There are many exchanges are easy to use e.g. Blockdx, Agoradesk, etc where you only need to create an account and ready to trade without KYC bullshit which could take a hour or day(s) to trade. There's also a chance they might freeze your funds whenever they want and it will take more times, again.


this is totally off-topic, What @OP wants is users' experience with the APP wallet, not nonKYC bullshit, and Blockdx does not have a mobile app.
898  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Guide] What is recommended to follow "Social Media Or DYOR" in the crypto world on: November 04, 2023, 10:03:14 AM
But the person who saw the news on social networks about a colorful project, supposedly giving prizes to everyone, and also saw admiring reviews from bots, unaware that he was being deceived, will rush to participate in order to catch the train.
I know some friends who believe those links that appear in browsers with “Congratulations, you have won a car, click on the link to get it” and other frauds that appear as if you have won something or received free gifts.

The most they can do is search for the first result on Google, which is sometimes misleading.
Search for most services on the forum and you will find that the first link may be a phishing link (not to mention that some Google ads appear first).
899  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin may not hit $24,750 again in 2023 - I'm bullish till 2024 on: November 04, 2023, 09:50:51 AM
I tend to agree with you. The price showed a strong resistance level at $24,750, so that the price bounced from it repeatedly when it touched the price of this level. Therefore, it is logical to say that the price broke two resistance levels without very bad news. Therefore, we have levels at $30,900 and $27,779, which if broken, the price will be unable to break. $24,750 in normal condition.



This does not deny that we may return to levels of 30k.

Your explanation is good, but you did not explain how a person can do DYOR. When an average joe searches for information, he will ask Google, so add how to do DYOR would be better because just as scammers mislead information on Twitter and Reddit, they can write some articles and make them appear first in search engines. If you search for keywords such as BEST BITCOIN WALLET, you will find that Exodus appears first, and you may get an article telling you to avoid Electrum because it is not safe.
Some articles about hardware wallets favor Ledger.

DYOR is not enough if one does not know what one is looking for and has a basic ability to filter information or at least suggest forums like Bitcointalk.
