221  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ETH the King of Altcoins ? on: March 19, 2023, 03:54:48 AM
ETH can be considered as the King of Altcoins, as it has been the most successful and widely adopted smart contract platform with a large fan base and market capitalization. However, the term "King" is subjective and may vary depending on individual preferences and priorities. While ETH is a strong contender, other altcoins such as Binance Coin (BNB), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL) also have their unique features and potential. Ultimately, it is important to do thorough research and consider various factors before making any investment decisions.

Just like what the rest forum suggest, I also have the same suggestion. If you are interested in investing in a cryptocurrency with utility and a strong track record, you may consider Bitcoin (BTC). Bitcoin is the largest and most well-known cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization of over $1 trillion. It is widely accepted as a payment method and has a strong community of developers working on its technology.

Bitcoin's value has been volatile in the past, but its long-term trend has been positive, with many investors considering it a good store of value. However, please note that investing in cryptocurrencies involves risks and you should conduct your own research and seek professional advice before making any investment decisions.
223  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Android malware targets 13 bitcoin wallets and 400 banks on: March 18, 2023, 04:15:21 AM
In my opinion, it has become scarier now in the digital world due to the increasing sophistication and prevalence of cyber threats such as malware, ransomware, phishing, and data breaches. These threats not only target individuals but also businesses, organizations, and even governments. The consequences of these attacks can be devastating, ranging from financial loss to reputation damage and even personal harm.

If you suspect that your device may have been infected with the Xenomorph malware or any other type of malware, it is important to take action immediately. Here are some steps you can take:
1. Disconnect your device from the internet: This will prevent the malware from communicating with its command and control server, which could further compromise your device and data.
2. Run a full system scan: Use a reputable antivirus software to scan your device for malware and follow its instructions for removal.
3. Change your passwords: If you suspect that your passwords may have been compromised, change them immediately and consider using a password manager to create strong and unique passwords.
4. Enable two-factor authentication: This can add an extra layer of security to your accounts and help prevent unauthorized access.
5. Keep your software up-to-date: Make sure that your operating system, antivirus software, and other programs are updated with the latest security patches.
6. Be cautious of downloads and links: Avoid downloading files or clicking on links from unknown or suspicious sources.
7. Back up your data: Regularly back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud storage service.

Remember, prevention is always better than cure when it comes to cyber threats. By following good cybersecurity practices and being vigilant about suspicious activity, you can help protect yourself and your data from malware like Xenomorph.
224  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Taking loan for investment can be life threatening on: March 18, 2023, 04:09:05 AM
It sounds like you are in a difficult situation with your uncle's loan to his friend for crypto trading. It's concerning that the friend seems to be investing in questionable projects and meme coins, which can be very risky. If anything goes wrong with the investment, your uncle may be left with a large debt to pay back, which could be difficult or even dangerous given his age. In this situation, it's important to prioritize your uncle's well-being and financial security. You may want to have a frank conversation with him about the risks involved in this investment and encourage him to reconsider. If he is unwilling to change his mind, it may be helpful to consult with a financial advisor or other trusted professional who can offer guidance on how to minimize the risks.

Ultimately, it's up to your uncle to decide how to handle his finances, but as someone who cares about him, it's important to make sure he is making informed decisions and is protected from potential harm.

There are plenty of projects that actually can take care the inheritance nowadays. People can use a specialized service that can help manage the distribution of cryptocurrency assets after your passing. These services, sometimes called "crypto estate planners" or "crypto inheritance services," are designed to help individuals plan for the transfer of their cryptocurrency assets to their heirs in a secure and transparent way.

These services can provide a variety of tools and services, including multi-signature wallets that require multiple parties to sign off on transactions, secure storage solutions, and detailed instructions for the distribution of assets. Some of these services also offer legal and financial planning advice to help ensure that your assets are distributed in accordance with your wishes.

If you are considering using a crypto estate planning service, it's important to do your research and choose a reputable provider with a proven track record of success. Look for providers that have experience working with cryptocurrency assets and a strong reputation in the industry. Consulting with a financial planner or estate planning attorney can also help you make an informed decision about the best way to manage your cryptocurrency assets after your passing.
227  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Fiat to crypto scam still existing always on: March 17, 2023, 03:35:24 AM
It's fantastic that you're releasing this information to safeguard individuals who trade fiat and crypto directly, participate in peer-to-peer transactions on decentralized exchanges, and trade fiat-to-crypto on centralized exchanges. While dealing in any form of trade, especially cryptocurrency trading, it is critical to be watchful and cautious. Scammers are always devising new methods to steal people's money, so it's critical to be aware of the risks and take the necessary safeguards.

You are correct in stating that P2P trading should not be utilized for fiat-to-crypto trade on custodial exchanges. It is critical to grasp the distinction between P2P trading and trading on centralized exchanges, as well as the hazards connected with each. The email from Huobi Global serves as a timely warning that frauds still exist in the cryptocurrency world and that it is critical to always check transactions before releasing any bitcoin from escrow. Checking your bank app or entering into your bank account via a web browser to confirm payment is a sensible method to protect yourself against scammers.

Therefore, it's critical to keep aware and educated about the dangers and opportunities connected with cryptocurrency trading, as well as to take adequate precautions to avoid scams and fraud.
228  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Knowledge Of Bitcoin Is Better Than Speculating on: March 17, 2023, 03:32:10 AM
That's actually kind of make sense. People should know that bitcoin and crypto is not all about trading and investing their money in the project but also investing time and energy to gain more skills about the technology. With this mindset, we can actually gain more. In addition to gaining knowledge about blockchain, game theory, security, cryptography, and consensus algorithms, learning about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can also help individuals acquire valuable skills in programming, data analysis, and financial analysis. They can also learn about the legal and regulatory aspects of cryptocurrencies, which can be helpful in pursuing a career in the financial or legal sector. Additionally, learning about cryptocurrencies can help individuals develop skills in entrepreneurship and innovation, as they can explore the possibilities of creating their own cryptocurrency or blockchain-based business. Overall, the skills one can acquire by learning about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are vast and varied, and can lead to exciting and rewarding career opportunities.
229  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Kyc worth the risk? on: March 16, 2023, 03:39:07 AM
Because of their liquidity, user-friendly interfaces, and ability to offer a diverse selection of trading pairs, centralized exchanges can be beneficial to traders. They do, however, demand customers to go through KYC (know-your-customer) processes, which include providing personal information such as identity papers. The possible hazards connected with centralized exchanges include the likelihood of hacking, security breaches, or the exchange's insolvency, which might result in the loss of cash.

IMHO KYC is really critical, I can't just do KYC for any centralized exchanges, that's why I need to be careful in choosing the one that has a strong reputation for security, transparency, and reliability.
Since security measures may continually be enhanced or exploited, there is no one "best secure" centralized exchange but like I said, some of exchanges, incorporate extensive security measures such as multi-factor authentication, cold storage, and insurance coverage. Examples of reputable centralized exchanges include Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken. So, after choosing meticulously, if something bad happened I won't be too regret.
230  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin can replace banking system digitally on: March 16, 2023, 03:27:13 AM
According to Jack Mallers' tweet, he believes the US financial system is failing as a result of the Federal Reserve's actions, and that this might herald the start of a new era in American finance. Mallers contends that Bitcoin should be recognized as legal money for digital marketing in order to increase the efficiency of financial institutions and facilitate buying and selling.

It's worth mentioning that perspectives on the present health of the US financial system and Bitcoin's position in it are mixed. Some regard Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a potential answer to existing banking system problems, while others see them as a hazardous and unproven alternative. As with any complicated situation, it's important to consider multiple perspectives and gather information from a variety of sources before making a judgement.
231  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Because of the love I have for bitcoin on: March 16, 2023, 03:24:18 AM
Well, I'm trying to see this from bright sight where more new people come to join the crypto community. However, please note that means you have a responsible too to educate them. By this responsibility, you also need to improve your knowledge about cryptocurrency. Strengththen your fundamentals so you guide the new people right. In my opinion, here are some topics that can be shared with them :
1. Introduction to Bitcoin and blockchain technology: Explain what Bitcoin is and how it works, including the concept of blockchain technology.
2. Wallets and exchanges: Teach them how to set up a Bitcoin wallet and how to buy and sell Bitcoin on a cryptocurrency exchange.
3. Risk management: Explain the risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies and how to manage those risks.
4. Technical analysis: Teach them how to analyze cryptocurrency market trends and charts to make informed investment decisions.
5. Security: Emphasize the importance of securing their Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency assets by using strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and other security measures.
6. Community and resources: Introduce them to Bitcoin forums and other online resources where they can learn more and get involved in the cryptocurrency community.

Note : please don't just throw them to the forum without giving them a proper understanding about how to mingle here. Good luck.

233  Local / Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian) / Re: [Berhadiah] Pie baking contest bitcointalk on: March 15, 2023, 03:37:09 AM
Wow menarik sekali, awalnya saya bertanya-tanya kenapa pie? apakah ini terkait dengan suatu perayaan di bulan Maret. Setelah browsing, saya menemukan ada perayaan yang disebut Pi Day  yang diperingati tiap tanggal 14 Maret (bulan ke-3) karena 3, 1, dan 4 adalah tiga angka penting pertama dari π. Perayaan ini pertama kali dicetuskan oleh Larry Shaw, seorang karyawan museum sains San Francisco, California, The Exploratorium pada tahun 1988. Biasanya dirayakan dengan acara makan pai atau mengadakan kompetisi pembacaan pi (sumber : https://www.piday.org/). Tapi apakah ini berkaitan dengan kompetisi pie yang diadakan bitcointalk? saya tidak tahu, mungkin ada yang tahu dan ingin mengkonfirmasi?.

Google saja sudah kalang kabut dengan adanya teknologi baru ini, oleh karena itu jangan pesimis dulu, mari kita ikuti perkembangan selanjutnya.
Google sepertinya tidak panik dan kalang kabut karena rata-rata data yang chatgpt ambil semua dari source mereka sehingga mereka merasa bukan sebagai saingan berat, namun akan berbeda jika data chatgpt berasal dari source dan library mereka sendiri, itu menurutku.

Maksud saya terhadap model bisnisnya, saya merujuk pada artikel ini https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/31/google-testing-chatgpt-like-chatbot-apprentice-bard-with-employees.html, kalau mereka tidak kalang kabut mungkin tidak akan mencari strategi baru dan tetap percaya diri terhadap yang sekarang bukan?. Atau bila kalang kabut menurut agan terlalu berlebihan, sebut saja Google mencoba menjawab tantangan dari kompetitor dan beradaptasi. Seperti yang saya katakan sebelumnya, ChatGPT ini sepertinya baru awal saja dan memang perlu disempurnakan, tidak menutup kemungkinan mereka akan punya source dan library mereka sendiri di kemudian hari.

What do you mean by "self-merit"? If you mean from your account to your own account, no, and if you mean from your alternative or secondary account, yes, but it's disallowed since that other account is not permitted. Be prepared if you insist on using that secondary account since the Bitcointalk community takes the merit system seriously, and attempting to game it by self-meriting may result in severe results such as losing credibility, being reported by moderators, or even being banned from the site.
237  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I hope newbies learn something from this on: March 13, 2023, 04:43:16 AM
Before investing in any project, investors should conduct their own research, especially for new and upcoming projects. Arbitrove's uncapped token sale on Camelot Exchange serves as a reminder of the risks involved in investing in new projects without thoroughly understanding the presale terms and conditions. While uncapped token sales can cause FOMO and oversubscription, it is also important to note that not all uncapped sales are fraudulent. However, before investing, investors should exercise caution and thoroughly review the project's whitepaper, team background, and previous performance.

Furthermore, it is always advisable to stick with reputable and established presale platforms and market leaders. This can be beneficial.
238  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Silvergate - exposure - USDC ? on: March 13, 2023, 04:29:57 AM
The risk of USDC depegging from the US dollar due to the potential insolvency of Silvergate is difficult to assess without more information on the specific mechanisms that underpin USDC's peg to the US dollar. However, it is important to note that Circle, the company behind USDC, has stated that their USDC reserves are held in multiple banking partners, and not just Silvergate.

While Silvergate Bank is a major banking partner for Circle, it is not the sole bank that holds USDC reserves. Circle has also stated that they have implemented risk management measures to mitigate the risk of any single banking partner's failure affecting the value of USDC.

That being said, it is always important to assess the risks associated with any investment or financial transaction. If you have concerns about the risks of USDC, you may want to consider diversifying your holdings across multiple stablecoin issuers and conducting thorough research on each issuer's risk management measures.

What more do you need though? I mean Silvergate has filed bankruptcy already, and that's why Circle and it's stable coins are into a big problem right now. And it might choke other stable coins too or worst the whole altcoin market.

Stablecoins are good to hedge our crypto in a bear market or when the price is going down.

But if stablecoins themselves is depegging, then it defeats it's purposed and it will be like any other crypto, which is very volatile now.

May I know which source that you use to refer that Silvergate has filed bankruptcy already? and as far as I know there is no indication that it is insolvent or that USDC is in danger of depegging from the US dollar, however of course we should always be vigilant with every situation that happened in the crypto world to keep safe.
239  Local / Ekonomi, Politik, dan Budaya / Re: Apakah Teknologi AI, OpenAI, ChatGPT itu benar Pintar? on: March 13, 2023, 04:22:23 AM
Pertama, ChatGPT tidak akan memberikan jawaban panjang lebar tentang nge-hack private key bitcoin karena platform itu di-program untuk tidak membahas topik yang berkaitan dengan tindakan ilegal. Kedua, kecerdasan AI tergantung pada program yang dibuat oleh manusia dan data yang digunakan untuk melatihnya, oleh karena itu ada skill yang namanya prompt engineering, yaitu keahlian dalam menyusun instruksi untuk mengarahkan AI mengerjakan sesuatu sesuai kebutuhan kita. Mungkin, prompt-nya masih belum optimal sehingga jawabannya pun juga jadi belum optimal. Meskipun AI tidak dapat menghasilkan kreativitas atau pemikiran bebas seperti manusia, teknologi ini dapat sangat berguna dalam memproses, menganalisis, dan memahami data secara efektif. Menurut saya, ChatGPT atau OpenAI ini merupakan cikal bakal teknologi yang akan sangat canggih di masa depan, hanya butuh penyempurnaan. Google saja sudah kalang kabut dengan adanya teknologi baru ini, oleh karena itu jangan pesimis dulu, mari kita ikuti perkembangan selanjutnya.
240  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What holds you back from investing in Altcoins ? on: March 12, 2023, 04:04:30 AM
Uhm I think there are several factors that could hinder investors to invest in Altcoin, some of them are :
1. Lack of regulation: Altcoins are not as regulated as traditional investments, which makes them more risky and potentially susceptible to fraudulent activities.
2. Volatility: Altcoins tend to be more volatile than traditional investments, which means they can experience significant price fluctuations in short periods of time.
3. Limited liquidity: Many altcoins have low trading volumes, which can make it difficult to buy or sell them at a desired price.
4. Lack of track record: Most altcoins are relatively new and have not been tested over a long period of time, which makes it difficult to assess their long-term potential.
5. Lack of widespread adoption: Many altcoins have limited adoption, which may limit their potential for long-term growth.
