2921  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Elon musk 5000 BTC give away scam ad on: April 12, 2021, 11:51:36 AM
Social media platforms these days are like reactive instead of being proactive when it comes to scams. If I can recall correctly there were also fake Binance youtube channel that creates fake giveaways along with a livestream, and it has a lot of subscribers so you can't really tell if it was fake or not. It was discussed here in the forum as well.

Just report it OP, that is the best thing we can do for now while Youtube's algorithm isn't being in a correct manner just yet.

Even in Facebook pages that are crypto-related, there are fake pages commenting to the legitimate pages' posts claiming that they are doing giveaways as well when you send X amount of BTC. It was made to look legitimate because there were a lot of replies from fake/dummy users that they got their BTCs doubled/tripled. I just reported it twice, because even Facebook claims that the scam comment does not go AGAINST their Community Standards, so I asked for review again then they deleted the comment that was a scam after my request for review for the report.

Can't really trust a lot of social media platforms these days.

Ah yes, you're pointing out those candlesticks.
It is kind of overwhelming at the beginning, but don't worry.
If I would advise, you should watch some youtube videos because you will learn how each indicators are being used as well.
Not sure if there are Coinbase Pro-specific tutorials as I had learned mine in Binance through Youtube vids as well.

Don't pay for online courses just yet if they offer you one. You are still beginner remember and you are still in the phase of knowing whether trading would be the best field for you here in crypto, probably.

It's important to understand that the crypto market is being flooded by new users, new projects, new scams and therefore, fortunetellers. Before investing your life savings into some random new shitcoin, be sure to have a clear thought processes on why you're investing in this crypto.

Thing is people should've applied that knowledge already since 2017 when ICOs started to show its darker and shadier side.

Now 4 years had passed and some investors/bounty hunters are still like......

3. Blocknet – the so-called "Internet of Blockchains", Blocknet is a decentralized network that connects blockchains, whether through cross-chain dApps or even using a protocol as a second layer to extend the blockchain functionality, Blocknet provides its developers the authority to establish applications that will secure digital transactions. Blocknet offers its lightweight and multi-asset wallet called the XLite. With the use of XLite, Blocknet's stakeholders can manage to buy, sell, and store cryptocurrencies. Connecting the XLite wallet to Block DEX will allow vast trading opportunities for Blocknet users. The Blocknet team recently announced that the project will partner up with Avalanche, an open-source platform for launching highly decentralized applications, new financial primitives, and new interoperable blockchains to power up Blocknet's chain interoperability with almost every other blockchain today. This strategic move by the community will pose numerous benefits such as the development of interchain dApps leveraging contracts on Avalanche, smart contract/Defi ecosystem integration of Blocknet technology, and many more.

It offers a simple interface swap to any two Ethereum assets against an underlying liquidity pool. Uniswap has two (2) versions, with version one as an on-chain system of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain that implements an automated liquidity protocol based on constant product formula. The other one offers new implementation based on the same formula, with several highly remarkable features. Uniswap is a fully decentralized, open-source exchange platform that provides incentivized liquidity pools, waived listing fees, and affordable costing of any DEX. Its incentivizing system is directed towards people trading on the exchange to become liquidity providers. Uniswap users pool their money together to create a fund that is used to execute all trades that take place on the system. The Uniswap version two (V2) that offers many new features and improvements including but not limited to; price oracles, flash swaps, and ERC 20/ ERC 20 pairs, has caught the attention of many crypto fanatics, as it is continuously being acknowledged as one of the best DEXs that is actively available online.

It aims to diversify and strengthen to AMM market by adding exciting features which will help improve its functions compared to what is currently being provided by Uniswap. The SushiSwap ecosystem offers exchange, liquidity pools, and staking which servers their respective purposes for the project's prosperity. The popularity of SushiSwap today has made it one of the top DEXs by trading volume both in CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap's listing, and is expected to exponentially grow its value this YEAR!!!

You can once you reach 300+ reports. After reaching 300+ reports, you can check out which report is good, bad or unhandled.
And what was not there? I can't see any changes there, I think everything included in your image is there for even a newbie.
Not really meant to hijack the thread, but I have a bit of question as well though.
When I reach 300+ reports, is there a minimum accuracy to whether that feature you mentioned will appear or not?

I had bad reports back in the days, because I wasn't really sure what posts/threads fall into a good reports, making my accuracy go down a little bit.

Edit: Saw the edit that contained the thread as well. Found the answer
Thanks, Little Mouse! Smiley

Yes, you cannot hear that much from other altcoin because this forum is mostly about Bitcoin.
There ain't that much secret behind Bitcoin, though there could be something that Satoshi only knows.

Building wealth over time for investing somehow applies to trading as well, but it would differ at least from the timeframe that the profit was made. It would just be between long and short term.
2928  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will governments ban Bitcoin like they did with Gold? on: April 10, 2021, 04:37:51 AM
Many people have been talking about a full government ban towards Bitcoin. Some said that Bitcoin could be banned the same way Gold was banned a couple of years ago. This is to prevent people from using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on top of Fiat. After all, governments want to control people's money. Something that's decentralized and outside the reach of the government, should be banned from the face of the Earth (according to governments' mindset).

What do you think? Will governments (especially the US government) ban Bitcoin like they did with Gold? Or is it too late to do something about it? Will Bitcoin survive if all governments unanimously agree to ban its usage worldwide? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Smiley
The most and least thing they could do only would be ISPs to ban every single trading exchange, because that is how BTC is mostly traded or transferred. Still people have the means to use various softwares like VPN.
Tor is also there for anonymous browsing.
Proxy is also there for reason.
Government banning those sites to not be able to be downloaded? Sure, people will still have the means to distribute those software without a trace.

Bitcoin will still survive.
The power of technology still speaks for infinite possibilities.
2929  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is trash on: April 10, 2021, 04:34:05 AM
Strange statement, Bitcoin garbage. Garbage is a substance that has worked out its role and cannot be useful in the household in any way, in other words, it is the remains of vital activity that have no value. Bitcoin is far from fulfilling its role, imagine garbage, for $ 60K. It doesn't matter to me how I can get the dollar equivalent of my Bitcoin . As long as Bitcoin makes it possible, thanks to the dimamics of value, to make a profit, and as long as I can sell Bitcoin at any moment and get a lot of dollars, Bitcoin will be the most advanced financial component for me.
It surely is a golden garbage, but oh wait it has more value right now than gold, so there it goes.
Either OP is just trying to clickbait this thread from the title or s/he concluded it based from his/er assumptions.

You know a crash is around the corner, when you see threads like this one.
Meh. 60k is here right now.
2930  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Two months since Tesla BTC purchase. Corporate buying less than expected? on: April 10, 2021, 03:08:06 AM
We remember that day when the news came out. BTC shot up from $38K to 44K and to 48K the day after. People expected an avalanche of big companies to buy BTC. So far it hasn't happened yet it seems. We have seen news about some companies around the world buying crypto but they were not "big" big players like Tesla. Do you think corporate buying so far was not as big as we expected when Tesla made the news?
There were big names/players that already were into Bitcoin specifically. Not sure if they purchased, but if adopting/including it as payment method would count then Microsoft did already back in 2014.
They were now surveying actually for Xbox users if they would like to pay through Bitcoin though.
From what I read, they continued accepting Bitcoin payments from its halt before.

Valve adopted Bitcoin payment to their Steam platform before though, but it got pulled out for obvious reasons of "high fees and volatility"

2931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How have you impact people with cryptocurrency knowledge on: April 10, 2021, 02:59:32 AM
I've had only negative effects of telling the Bitcoin story.

I told every family member and friend once, and made the case.

80% of them acted like I was trying to sell them MLM

My one brother in law got all excited and said I had him hooked.  1 week later he was telling me about hard wallets, tax strategies for selling and Dogecoin.  Since then nary a peep.

One friend bought $200 of Bitcoin on Coinbase.  Then the market took a dip and he tried to panic sell and couldn't figure out how to sell and yelled at me for wasting his money on a failed experiment.

Now, it's me for my own wealth and dreams, and everyone can sit back and watch and wonder how I did it.
I guess I understand that they had that kind of though like you are indeed promoting something. Still that is up to their choices though since the price of Bitcoin is really soaring right now and people do not want to risk a lot of their money during this pandemic to lead them to a bad spot.

I wonder what your brother-in-law thought about Bitcoin though because you mentioned he is into Dogecoin.
2932  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coins are good for investing? on: April 10, 2021, 02:56:10 AM
Hello all,
If one wants to invest a small amount of money in the cryptocurrency, then which coins are good? I mean is something about $500. Are Tron, EOS, Ripple and Stellar good?
I have another question: Can Ripple win the court? When is the next Ripple court?

Any idea welcomed.

Thank you so much.
Anything in the top coins are worth your time.
Anything you know that is valuable here in the forum is surely a coin good for investment with the exception of stablecoins of course.
Not sure about the XRP winning the court as I was not aware what is going on in it, but it is getting a lot of attention from SEC lately.
2933  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dump just after a new listing? on: April 10, 2021, 02:47:25 AM
I don't know why this is common with new projects these days, large investors who were able to buy during private sales just dump the tokens on traders immediately after the token gets listed on exchanges,it could be because the early investors are already in profit and they don't trust the project enough, that's why they dumped the tokens.
It is simply common, because everyone wants to chase for quicker $$$ rather than hodling it for long-term with the high risk of getting dumped. It is almost like a high-risk reward, but everyone is up to the lowest risk possible.
Not surprised anymore that many project tokens would dumped overnight instantly.
2934  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP set to dethrone Bitcoin on: April 09, 2021, 07:44:05 PM
Sorry, OP. Not gonna happen, assuming you're really serious about this matter.

Edit: I just checked OP's post history, and I think s/he is just shitposting because in other thread s/he is even in favor of "adoption of Bitcoin" and it could "hit 100k by December".

I mean why not, but 10-15 BTC is quite an amount actually.
If you live in my country, you're almost like giving millions to someone.
Maybe you could tone that amount a bit, but again it still depends on you because in reality I would not give that high of an amount.

There is still a part that you still helped yourself that she was able to help you when you were young, so still consider rewarding yourself. I wonder how big that help was though, OP.
2936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Not a Financial Advise~~ on: April 09, 2021, 12:20:30 PM
I'll be there dumping my bags on all of you when the whales from the stock markets start to go into crypto.

I have a feeling that stock and flow won't be relevant anymore when institutions starts buying in herds. Hope they'll buy ALTS like LTC, XLM, DIVI coin, and LINK...

Meanwhile, Stocks have a good run last year up to this moment... It's hard to predict if they reach the top compared to this mid ALT Season wherein we just seeing the tip of the iceberg...
Not sure how stocks performed these days, but it does not seem to be correlated that much with crypto.
Institution are surely like gonna be into cryptos just like how Paypal and Tesla even adopted cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin.
Surely we're getting to that point where each companies have their own coins of hodling whether it'd be shitcoin or something else. Cheesy

Not sure what it is really though, but from what I researched it is something that is "interchangeable" token.
It is getting hyped lately, and I think it is just like gonna be one of those trends back then like IEOs.
2938  Economy / Speculation / Re: Next big news? on: April 09, 2021, 06:18:52 AM
Btc is hovering between $56k to $58k, it needs some more good news to cross this $60 mark.
After PayPal, which next business giant is going to endorse Bitcoin?
What should we expect in coming days that can push btc to more adoption and expedite it's March towards $1 million?
No, it does not need more good news. It just needs to push by itself to whatever price we need to breach. It might take a bit of whales to make that happen.
Good news comes only after the price of Bitcoin breaches something, and same goes to when it plummets to price.
No one knows what next business would adopt it though, but Tesla and Paypal adopting it surely got a lot of attention, but it would take time before people would curious to that.

It is still going slow, and going back and forth actually.
I recall Microsoft and Steam accepting Bitcoin payments back in the days but they later withdraw that method because of the obvious reasons of being unstable in price.
Institutional companies adopting Bitcoin would be the best way to increase awareness to a lot of bank-oriented people, but still I would desire if physical merchants like convenience stores would consider payment of it as well.
2940  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price fall to Zero? Possible or not? on: April 09, 2021, 06:07:10 AM

To zero is too absurd, so please revise the title at least.
Even if government imposes a ban to cryptos in their country, people would still find ways like p2p transactions.
From what I said from these ban-related topic in their ISP, people would still be able to use VPN.
Number 4 is like a "bruh" moment to happen, so I doubt that.
