1501  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Concern over market fluctuations affecting a 5year bitcoin investment plan. on: August 07, 2022, 05:51:36 AM
What are some steps I need to take, to ensure I protect my investment from possible loss over this 5year duration? Is the intent to commit to a monthly investment overseeing this period, likely to backfire in any way? Should I be scared of a market crash incident?
It looks like you are trying to use the Dollar Cost Averaging strategy but at the same time you are scared of market fluctuations, which does not make sense. The main point of DCA is to enable you acquire an asset at specific intervals over time without you having to worry about market crash incidents. What you are aiming at is long term, not short term.

It's been so far so go for anyone who invests in Bitcoin long term.

We're in the NFT period now you can never run out of scams to report.
NFT period got nothing on ICO period when it came to scams that were being reported here.

How does this website raise funds for the pool?

If they're just paying users who report scams, without recovering enough money from scammers, then the service model will eventually collapse from running out of cash.
The website is linked to HAPI protocol just like stompix uncovered, which means the $1,000 might not be a problem for them. They are some sort of blockchain analytics platform, so the scam reporters on scamfari are actually doing a very big job for them for just $1,000.

I am sure they get paid by exchanges and other platforms that what to trace transactions, especially from hacks like this case

I have also read that there are problems for Barcelona. They may not be allowed to sign up enough players for the Champions League. I don't know exactly what that would mean in terms of content. It does not seem to me that Barcelona is now not allowed to participate in the CL?
This is the first time I am getting to know about this. Wouldn't it be nice if you shared a link or source for further reading?

What I know is that they may not be able to register some of their new signings for La Liga if the wage bill terms are not met.

But ... if you only want to be able to take short position you don't need derivatives. As far as I know margin trading is not banned:
For a person who's used to trading futures, I find margin trading pretty boring on top of having small leverage (Most assets offer only 3x) and sometimes when the market is volatile you won't be able to borrow

I think thats why he's look for other derivatives options
1505  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is the Coinbase wallet safe? on: August 04, 2022, 09:50:08 PM
I've been allocating some savings to BTC. I keep seeing exchanges fall, and not your keys not your coin. I've been using the Coinbase wallet app. Is that safe?
It depends on what you imply by being safe.

If you are a privacy-oriented person, I would advise you to avoid Coinbase and even their noncustodial wallet. Look for a better wallet, like electrum for starters

They have some terms of service and privacy policy you have to agree to right before you create your new wallet.



When you look at their privacy policy. They actually collect your data. So if you are a person who uses a noncustodial wallet with the hope of having some privacy. It's not possible with coinbase wallet. They collect all your data, IP addresses etc

Seems interesting. How I wish it was possible to view the reported scams, because after all, the main purpose of reporting scam should to alert people who are smart enough to research a bit.

Had it been started during the ICO period, the website would be having lots of scam reports.
1507  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can Decentralization Exist Without Blockchain? on: August 03, 2022, 09:12:18 PM
Of course, it can and vice versa, haven't you ever heard about decentralized governance that doesn't involve any blockchain technology?

Maybe you should first understand what a blockchain is, and then you will get a clear picture.
1508  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Little tip discovered for instant exchanges on: August 03, 2022, 08:58:44 PM
That is, if you want your funds to be on the Tron blockchain or any other smart-contract blockchain in general in the first place lol. Really, there nothing much to do on most blockchains outside of Ethereum and Solana; so it's either Ethereum, Solana, or good 'ol bitcoin for me.
Solana!  Cheesy
Eveytime I see that name, it petrifies me. Just yesterday, there was another saga about the blockchain not forgetting its outages. I am not sure if I should personally consider it one of the top blockchain projects anymore

Upon reviewing his profile, it appears that the moderators have deleted all of his posts. I wonder why he has not been nuked yet
Wait, are people who post scam/phishing links always nuked as well? I thought they usually nuke mostly newly created spambots and profiles that share malicious links or malware.

This
Let's say it's a long-term partnership. Now it's only $21 but when Bitcoin returns to its previous rate, rent will cost $40-50 per week.

And this?

Yes, 1 mBTC per week without any obligation.

I say that would be a hell of a good deal  Cheesy
Not so many campaigns even pay that well for lower ranks or give the participants any hope that the campaign is long term.
1511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: July 31, 2022, 09:53:03 PM
Real Madrid showed us today that they prepared well for this season by having a solid performance against Juventus. Maybe Barcelona are attracting most of the attention these days but we shouldn't overlook Real Madrid for the title also.
I still refuse to use friendlies as a basis to conclude that a team will perform so well or so poorly in the league. We have had past examples where teams have done so well or poorly in the friendlies only to perform differently in the league.
Last summer, Barcelona lost only 1 friendly game. Real Madrid did even win any game if I recall well, but we all know how things turned out in the league.

It's a way to differentiate that they are selling tokens based on NFT
Maybe to newbies but there's no difference between a token and a Non-Fungible Token and I am pretty sure the so-called INOs won't live up to the hype given that they have already been talked about for a while now.
1513  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Loan Defaulted [anog] on: July 31, 2022, 08:22:33 PM
Meaning that you will now ask him to return 0.21 ETH or its equivalent on the date of the loan?

0.21 ETH still remains 0.21 ETH.  In fact, in the reference link, he is the one who promised to pay 0.21 ETH, not an equivalent of that value in USD at the time



The user in question even had some untrusted feedback regarding his behavior and it makes sense now. I think he was only in the forum to default a loan
onnz423    2017-08-29    Reference    Keeps spamming the forum with loan requests, and changes the amount requested. I would be extra careful while trading with this user.

1514  Economy / Gambling / Re: Question for regular casino players. Will you use Lightning if available? on: July 30, 2022, 09:59:24 PM
I want to ask again, and this time to the users. Will you use the Lightning Network if available? Or will you continue to use whichever altcoin you're currently using?
To be honest, I think I will just use Bitcoin or any altcoin that I think has cheap transaction fees. Lightning seems a bit technical (i tried learning about it but gave up midway)
I have been able to transfer Bitcoin as 1 sat/vbyte at most times, so I don't think lightning network would be a necessity to me

I have bad news for you. Nobody here is going to fall for your shitty scam.

1517  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Merge: The most anticipated upgrade on Ethereum blockchain on: July 29, 2022, 09:52:00 PM
increase sustainability and security within the blockchain as the proof-of-stake mechanism will be the order of the day as it fades off "proof-of-work" system.
Maybe I am missing something.
How does proof of stake increase security of the Ethereum blockchain as compared to the proof of work, which has pretty much been solid since the inception of the network?

Will Ethereum sustain its current bullish trend during and after this merge?
the pump is clearly because of the merge. After the merge, things will normalize.
1518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Stolen Bitcoin Be Recovered on: July 29, 2022, 09:18:32 PM
What really impressed me about the post was the comment section, where readers shared their experiences utilizing bitcoin. One of the commenter named Paul Krebs described how he lost his bitcoin to a bogus blockchain.com imposter on Facebook, where they contacted him as blockchain official support. They gained access to his blockchain wallet, and 7.0938 BTC were taken. However, he claimed that the bitcoin was returned after he emailed a recovery expert with contact address - BLACKJOCKER10x @ PROTONMAIL COM. Different professionals who aid in retrieving stolen bitcoin were suggested by other commenters.
I don't know how many times I have come across such lines... "I lost 10BTC, but then I contacted someone who helped me retrieve the stolen Bitcoin, you can also contact him - scammer @ gmail.com"

It's  a common scam, known as bitcoin or crypto recovery scam. The truth is they ask for a service fee in advance and once you pay them. That's it. You are scammed once more.

Barcelona's change is a threat to Real Madrid, especially after their second meeting a few days ago. Real Madrid's La Liga and Champions League titles this season have made Ancelotti confident with the current team, therefore they haven't made too many changes to the team, although some positions still look weak.

I hope Ancelotti fixes their defence, the arrival of Rudiger is still not enough to strengthen their defence. The loss to Barcelona was a note for Real Madrid before La Liga start.
By Real Madrid's standards, I think the defense is OK. I don't recall a time Real Madrid invested heavily in defense. Maybe where the problem is getting a back up strike who is leather enough in case Benzema gets a long term injury, which I think might not happen this transfer window. The rest of the departments seem pretty solid to compete for another title this season.
1520  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tether fully regains its peg on: July 28, 2022, 09:36:53 PM
I've not noticed anything strange on the Tether charts over the last couple of weeks to cause any sort of panic. It has always experiences mild volatility with the $0.01 to $0.005 range and that is not also surprising, considering trades are always occuring over the different exchanges.
Even that $0.01 different might seem small but its huge bro. 1% price change on a "stablecoin" shouldn't be happening.
Imagine if you have 100,000 USDT and try to exchange it to USD after that drop, that's already a loss of $1000
