I see a completely different trend now, every crypto outlet has shifted 180° from the previous months and is claiming a rate increase equal to the predictions or of course, lower will trigger a price jump for Bitcoin. It's a bit weird, every hike in the rate has triggered a drop in the price, and although it has recovered after each it was never a course for a bull run, furthermore, I think the enthusiasm from a slowdown of interventions is already priced in, the last jump happened exactly because of this. I would be completely cautious in that hourly interval, If I would manage to get a trend right from the start I would take the profit and watch the next hour from the side, if it turns ugly and we do some -2k swings each way it will screw a lot of guys doing leverage. But, just to make it popcorn material, I would love to see the FED postponing the decision in the last minute, the chaos on the markets where everyone was putting their bets and now they are left clueless, reminds me of the RTW intro quotes: It is pleasant, when the sea is high and the winds are dashing the waves about, to watch from the shores the struggles of another Whichever it is as long as they raise, there will be a dump.
I'm 99% inclined to think the same, but history has a habit of not repeating itself just when you're overconfident, and Bitcoin price also has this habit of doing some inexplicable movements, so neither a drop back below 20k nor a jump to 25k would surprise me genuinely. |

As always, your beloved stompix bringing you the good news that nobody wants to hear. Keeping it up after my last one: Eu gas and electricity prices drop 80% to 2021 level, another apocalypse avertedhere is again, good news! Europe’s top economy expanded by 0.3% in the third quarterArchived since paywall! Remember how Germany was supposed to plunge into recession, how according to some 60% (just lol) of the companies went bankrupt, how everything is shut down, how there is no more light, no more cars, how bla bla bla. Well, again, completely defying propaganda Germany has managed to grow again, despite the highest energy prices ever encountered, and those are going down all the way in Q3, TTF day ahead spot prices crashing almost 10 times from the peak. What's more interesting is that the whole EU economy still went up, and only one country posted you decline with 3 countries posting a previous trimester decline. Of course, this doesn't mean everything is going perfectly, inflation was still up, but the ECB is finally starting to do its thing, and as I said a few months ago, doing it the right way, acting when it matters and with enough room left for more serious involvement, especially since one of the countries that posted surprising growth was Italy Italy's economy grows stronger than expected 0.5% in Q3, easing pressure on new govtand these numbers will help counter the fear of the consequences of further rate hikes. Going back to Germany, there is the need to address one thing as I saw some quoting that large companies are fleeing to China and shutting down in Germany. Of course, the usual crap, and the truth is completely different. BASF planned to open a factory in China in 2019: https://www.basf.com/cn/en/who-we-are/organization/key-production-sites/guangdong.htmlBASF is a 80 billion a year in revenue company, with factories in 11 countries, investing 10 billion is nowhere near what a move would look like. And furthermore, to counter all the doom and gloom and bankruptcy theories: https://www.basf.com/global/en/media/news-releases/2022/10/p-22-381.htmlBASF achieved solid EBIT before special items despite continued high raw materials and energy prices Sales of €21.9 billion up 12 percent over prior-year quarter
Unchanged outlook for 2022: Expected sales of between €86 billion and €89 billion, EBIT before special items of between €6.8 billion and €7.2 billion As I said above, this doesn't mean that the EU will avoid a technical recession completely, since Q4 is always a slowdown, taking into account inflation and demand destruction we might still see a recession, I'm actually convinced there will be one in Q1 2023, but every single analyst out there no matter how negativist he is about this has slashed the decline numbers, from the worse -1.2 were slowly hovering to an average between -0.6% and -0.2% and not a single source is mentioning a decline in the whole 2023, as overall the economy will reverse the start of the year trend and still grow. Not as fast as predicted at the start of this year but not doomsday either. So everyone should be happy, another apocalypse is being avoided, the economy works, employment is at record levels, people still have money, and people still afford to buy bitcoins, what do you get if you preach all day long about collapses and recession and bankruptcy? |

And you are ignoring the fact that the reserves need to be refilled at some point, especially when there are heightened chances of a global armed conflict between the super-powers. Americans have already emptied more than half of their reserves. How much more they can sell? They need to make sure that the reserves doesn't dip below a critical threshold.
Yeah, as usual, after the 300$ per barrel prediction, the math teacher strikes again: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCSSTUS1&f=MUS strategic reserves were at 638,085 in January 2021 they went as low 405 million barrels on the last sale on October 14, 2022, simple 2nd-grade math will tell you that the decline is just one-third and nowhere near the more half you're dreaming in your hate-filled nightmares. So basically in 8 months of continuous release, the US has emptied just 1/3 of their strategic reserve, not to mention mandatory commercial reserves and the company's stocks, so it could keep on going like that for another year with no problems, unlike someone else who has trouble balancing their budget as Ural oil right now sells for less than before the war. Read and whine: https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Russia-Cuts-Expectations-For-Taxable-Oil-Production.html |

Topic in question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5410930.0Archived here: https://archive.ph/24sEiOP profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1781255As everyone can see in the topic, one red-tagged member (tagged for a fake wallet website) brings us the joy of the good news on how this shady exchange launched in Europe and it's followed by a wave of newbies that shill for it, claiming everything worked fine for years, that this is the best exchange and so on. Now, the obvious problems: - the exchange has no physical address, no virtual address and no contact whatsoever - all the links are broken, there is no ToS, there is no T&C, there is nothing about the company or about licenses - the links on the websites are actually from a different exchange:  I achieved the live version here: https://archive.ph/eaYKH all you need is to inspect the code. Furthermore, if someone claims that it's just a template, which would sound stupid for an international exchange, one search of their news would lead to this: Turkish Now Available on Coinzh
We are pleased to announce that the Turkish language is now available on the Coinzh trading platform. Supporting multiple languages has always been our priority, and adding the native language support to our customers from Turkey as well as other countries further proves our continued commitment to providing the best trading experience in the field. https://archive.ph/MVNFIThe exact same wall of text: https://www.reddit.com/r/kudX/comments/x43cfa/turkish_now_available/https://archive.ph/y4tslOf course, kudx was also a scam: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/kudx.comand was promoted here by the same guy who shills for coinzh, seen here! If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck... |

Marcus Rashford has already given Westham United a goal in the 38th minute for Manchester United. There is still half time to play. In the remaining half if Manchester United goalkeeper is able to stop the balls coming towards them and if Manchester United's other players are able to pass the ball well and give Westham United another goal then they will surely win today. what was he trying to say in that bolded part ? It's a translation thing, I know that from our Moldavian co-workers, in some languages to score a goal is also "to do" a goal so here to give a goal to the other team is to score a point, but of course, in translation it loses that meaning and it just becomes a really confusing text. And this is again one thing that shows how much of a football fan some people are when they don't even realize what they are saying and how this sounds. It's the same as saying if Arsenal scores the fifth goal against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal will win the game; predicting known outcome only makes him look stupid,Lol. Reminds of a football player interviewed in our league, freshly after the game in which they lost 0-2, he said that if the other team didn't score those two goals and we have scored at least once we would have won. No shit Sherlock!  |

In as much as I also want to be ranked, and share my ranked journey just as every other person, Knowledge is important and I will definitely go for it, If I wanted a merit or rank, I will simply purchase rank, But what gain does it yield buying a copper member rank, Without proper knowledge of what BTC is.
*
I've seen a lot of low quality response like this from ranked members getting so much merit, but a newbie with far more, recieves nothing, My target is to learn as much as I can, so I can also impact someone else, so with all due respect, your Observations and conclusion is totally wrong 100% Respect to you.
If you seek knowledge then the first obstacle you need to overcome is caring more about how much merit others earn and how little you do. One of the reasons you see people disagreeing with you it's that everyone is tired of this, the same discussions come up month after month, with the same flavor on it, I'm a newbie, I seek knowledge but why is somebody else getting merit and I don't? This is getting frustrating old, some of the legendaries you mentioned are not giving a damn about merit anymore, this is not a race for merit, this is not about having x posts merited, this is a forum about discussion, it's like some perks you're earning and that it, what you're doing here is just letting envy taking over you and I already know what's going to happen, from the hunt for knowledge it's going to turn into merit fishing. Also few days ago, I came across a post, With random low content, yet one of the higher rank member sent out 30 plus merit to such a low content post. And I'm wondering, what's going on, this prompt this to my head. If you think is low content report the post, do your part in cleaning the forum and be done with it. |

With the network hash rate so extraordinarily high, why is the transaction capacity so low? Wouldn't it be great if we could focus all that hash power on faster transaction processing instead of a high block hash difficulty? Well, we can!
Hashrate has nothing to do with the capacity of the network. Just for fun, the Hahsrate now is 260Exahash, in early 2013 it was in 100 Th/s range, it doesn't mean that the capacity or speed of transactions has grown 2 million times, the only thing you can take out of that is that you need 2 million times more computing power to launch a 51% attack on the network. The block time is the same, so although there is an increase in capacity due to segwit it's nothing that radical and it has nothing to do with the difficulty and the hashrate. In short, Bitcoin can be faster than VISA if it needs to be.
No, it can't. As mentioned above by BlackHatCoiner there are two different things capacity and speed. Of course, constantly increased capacity will lead to every transaction in the mempool getting confirmed in the next block but it will still not make them instant, if the next block is mined in 20 minutes from when you broadcasted it will still take 20 minutes for a confirmation. So no, on-chain transactions will never match Visa speeds, there are two different things and two different systems that serve different purposes, if you want competition with Visa speeds you have to look at LN. |

I just checked your post history in the gambling section and it's a bunch of garbage, it's either a 2 liner nonsense or you're on a bookmaker thread looking for free spins, I've known most Stake signature participants to be huge spammers because most of the accounts in that campaign are alt anyways. If I were your manager, you wouldn't get paid for those posts. I haven't seen your posts in the gambling section because we post in a completely different thread. This isn't Facebook or Twitter, so two-line jokes aren't appropriate. You are capable of doing better.
What do you mean, isn't this a totally legit, insightful, much prediction, such knowledge post? I just picked the last one, not going to waste one more second on his history Marcus Rashford has already given Westham United a goal in the 38th minute for Manchester United. There is still half time to play. In the remaining half if Manchester United goalkeeper is able to stop the balls coming towards them and if Manchester United's other players are able to pass the ball well and give Westham United another goal then they will surely win today. Just look, Manchester is leading, and if Westham doesn't score but Manchester scores again, ...ta-dada... Manchester will win! It's a bulletproof prediction, if the score ends 2-0, the team with two goals scored will win, I bet none of the veteran gambles could come up with this. Spam is posts that are useless for discussion and are usually off-topic regardless of what purpose they are made for.
Spam means garbage like this: So far Napoli are unbeaten, convincing as one of the title challengers, but the fact is they have not been able to win the Scudetto in many different seasons despite their good performances. It's only about 12 match, there are 26 more match that will await them and I think they will also have other focuses like the Champions League or the Italian Cup Arsenal are 0-1 behind PSV, but Arsenal are the favorites in this match.
I don't mind saying Arsenal were better in the game even though at the moment they are struggling to score goals. It's not right to say they will lose before the game ends, so I think there will be a goal back from Arsenal soon. This is not even the fanboy stuff I was mentioning early in this thread, this is just you mentioning the obvious, one looks at the score, sees that this team leads and that's one "gambling" post, I actually went over your post and looked after keyword, guess what, you only twice mentioned actually odds for a game result but just mentioned them. Now, the pretty weird stuff, I clearly remembered I replied to the below two quotes but god knows what happened, I might have forgotten to hit post (!?) as I don't have any deleted replies either. So in short and sorry for the late replies: Discussing player transfers and availability played a bit role in predicting the outcome of a game, these discussion are somewhat necessary at some point. Before I put up a bet, I first try to check the latest news and discussions about those clubs H2H, injuries, and players, so it's easier for use if we have some discussion as regard those games in the thread so. Before placing a bet, one does not need to look any further.
Totally agree on this, things like this are important, but if you're posting stuff like "Mbappe is not playing so things might be difficult for PSG" without bothering to make any kind of prediction, this is not gambling talk, this is fanboy gossip and copy pasting newsline headers. I don't think that if a top player is either suspended or injured someone needs to mention this three times in a row in a topic when obviously all the gamblers are aware of it and some others have done it five times already. You're correct there's almost no relation between discussing about player transfer and the casino, I think many users also talking about player transfer on each thread where the league belong, isn't?
They do so just to make it look like they've done some research and to increase the number of lines in their post. Since it's hard to get away with just mentioning the victories of a team before the match they add a bit of flavoring to look like they are really interested and up to date with what's happening there, stupid things like x have scored x times so maybe he will score again, phrases empty of any substance that are simply just useless for a prediction. |

I've seen revolut advertising itself as a stock, crypto and fiat investment manager in one, perhaps that's someone who's trying to do this already and has regulation too (they offer products within the EU, not sure if they're worldwide yet though).
The last time I've used Revolut it was offering ADRs, which were designed as such to facilitate trade, but with Revolut things that were supposed to be simple become really complicated, the company itself that offers this is a revolut subsidiary of the main, there is a bunch of mumbo jumbo in their T&C and ToS that would make anyone that reads it a bit suspicious of everything but at least their fees were not that scary, oh, and they don't offer leverage, they try to keep it more as a medium-long investment option rather than actual trading like others do. As for countries they are only for the EEA, USA and Japan, with UK of course included (damn brexit) so not really an option for most people. |

Why haven't top giant exchanges like Binance or FTX implement Stock investments too?
Why haven't looked at what FTX is offering before wondering why they don't? https://ftx.com/markets > click on tokenized stocks. But volumes are quite low and for some almost inexistent and I don't think those tokenized stocks will ever catch on to the usual crypto base, and this is one reason we don't have more of them aside from regulations so that answers 3 of your questions. It's definitely smarter than buying loads of altcoin within a highly correlated market in a bid to diversify your investments.
That's one thing I never understood, people think they are diversifying their investment when buying BTC / ETH or LTC when in reality is like they are buying Exxon, Royal Dutch, and Chevron shares and claiming they have diversified portfolios. In addition to that, if you're doing crypto trading on a CEX, why isk another part of your funds on the same CEX and not use another platform to trade stocks, if you put literally all your money in one basket if that exchange goes down so do all your investments. |

House price is soaring, but finance advisor telling me to debt maxxing on house loan 90% loan and 0~10% dp, and it’s fine.
This is all wrong here. House prices are not soaring, it is exactly the opposite. Interest rates are high , less people can afford a loan because it is expensive now. So less people buy houses , less demand = lower price. Anyone should be careful about making debts now as interest rates are rising all over the world. That might be happening in Brazil (?, did I get it right?) but not in Europe. The ECB is threatening us with lower housing prices because of interest rates, of slowing demand of that and this and prices have just jumped another 5% you here, and even worse in some other parts of Europe. https://finbold.com/eu-rent-and-real-estate-prices-see-steady-increase-in-q2-2022-despite-looming-crisis/Doing the average for a country is not showing that much growth but if you start looking only at capital cities the whole covid scare is over and people are again buying, slowly as there isn't that much to buy in the first place but they're going up, up and up. Plus, nobody will sell cheap apartments that were completed now with more expensive materials, they will just wait for a buyer, and with almost every larger city still attracting students and workers, they will find a customer at one point. I opened a week ago a classified website to just check on the madness and saw a two-bedroom 50sqm flat in the same neighborhood at the same price as my old mortgage on my 3-room flat taken years ago, and when I thought things can't be that bad I stumbled upon a 7000E/mp in the city center and instantly closed the page as I realized the whole cheap houses stuff is just a dream. Experience has shown that people don't buy houses to live there but they do that as investment for the future. They acquire it and put it on rent or lease it out and on the long run it will become something to rely on for financial support.
And where are they living while they rent the house they have bought? They rent another place? I have not seen even once such a thing, I don't know a single guy who would rent his property while living in a rented apartment from somebody else. Temporarily due to work maybe, possible, but never in the long run. |

Anyone can give me any advice?
Yeah, DON'T! A 3090 at 5 cents/kWh will get you randomly between 10-20 cents a day depending on the up and downs of the few coins left to mine. So best case scenario free electricity cheap GPU you look at spending $1000 to make $100 a year. Crypto mining is not profitable anymore, if I were you id buy Asic miner to mine BTC or Doge coin.
If I were him and did not even have a clue that ETH is not minable anymore for a month already I would stay out of any kind of mining. When you have zero clue what you're getting yourself into it's far better to just buy the coins and hold them rather than burn money away. |

However, when digital money is globally accepted, would there still be a need for cryptocurrency exchanges?
Absolutely! First, for their main purpose you ills till needed exchanges to change fiat into coins, this will be on for a long long time, as nobody sees fiat getting replaced any time soon, not in a few decades' time at least. Second, the main business of CEXs now it's no longer just people exchanging their coins for fiat or the other way around but constant trading just as fx markets. So no, nothing is threatening CEXs anytime soon, they will most likely prosper for quite a while, especially since some have started using them as wallets, they offer debit cards linked to your account, interest accounts, and many other ways of making you lose money for their profits. But now, thinking this over, you as an exchange owner are asking yourself this truly, or you're just doing this to promote yourself? |

Regardless of that, this is a popular theme/template among scammers [unfortunately]:

Seeling perfect condition October meltdown shelter:  * Image for illustration purpose only Perfect condition, not once used, it's made out of enough toilet paper to last a life, it's fully isolated from good news with high-quality tinfoil, on request and on an extra change we can add Saylor laser eyes illumination, posters with the petrodollars in flames, and of course our customers favorite Bukake (not a typo) perfumed candles. Disclaimer: It's an October shelter so we don't guarantee survivability in November Although it's an October-designed shelter it might not work in 2023 Since it's a shitty build we only offer purchases in shitcoins, price for a full equipped shelter is 100 UST (terra), shipping is not included. So, is anyone coming out of their shelters or do you still wait till 23:59 before giving up another doomsday that never came? |

What links are you talking about? Personally, I have already checked the exchange.
Yeah, you should have double checked before launching the new scam my dear  Take the time to study this exchange. Didn't find anything suspicious. The first test deposit went very quickly. Crypto withdrawal is also very fast. But personally I did not like the interface.
What a coincidence, another account that was tagged for scamming people with a fake exchange, bnax, kudx, why not coinx this time, guess it was taken? I guess it's time to tag all these fake newbies, and just a heads up to save both of us some work, you stop shilling this scam and I won't open for each shilling post a topic named "Coinzh is a scam", sounds fair to me, deal? |

So it's not because of mining, but because of foolish exposure to Celsius.
The clown crashing cycle continues.
It wasn't investing or depositing with that Ponzi scheme, Celsius bought gear and hosting from Core, and they still owe them money, it was about $5 million and a running 2 million loss a month if they could still make ~35 cents per TH/s like the whole period last year from April till the end of the year instead of the ow 7cents per TH/s they could have easily covered the running cost from the profits, but they are barely profitable themselves. I hope this actually discourages huge mining farms and encourage mining pools instead which improve decentralization. Small or medium scale miners from all over the world (esp in cold regions) pooling together resources to mine, earn and share rewards is better. One of the main reasons it is better is that they can use the miners to heat their home during winter or for other multiple uses while mining Bitcoin.
If people go bankrupt at 4 cents per kWh, how many do you think will mine when their electricity prices are 10 times that? Ok, you do it for heating, but you need sound insulation, you need a stand-alone house, you need to sometimes shut it down as you don't need that much heat, and what will happen in summer? 90% of the hashrate goes down one single major farm owns some other 90% of the hashrate? |

See if you have a ChainBytes kiosk near you, here is the map with their ATMs. They are still offering the possibility of getting a paper wallet and not inserting your address, and you can also stack those up if you want to sell them. Lammasu kiosks had that at least a few years ago the same offer, just print it with no required address but I don't know if they still offer it, and you will still need KYC for any ATM for larger sums. As for direct buying a $ 50/100 fixed voucher with BTC from a shop I don't know if there is something like this still available anywhere, there was one such initiative in France where you could buy those vouchers at any tobacco shop but it went bust. |

Do I dare try it again?
Already a few users have expressed their suspicions about the possibility of having some kind of malware on your computer, I didn't see you denying that you have found something and I don't see you planning on at least scanning the damn machine with an anti-virus malware program. That would be the first step one should take, at least you can scratch this from the list and we can move to something else as probably at least half of the ones throwing opinions here will do the same as me. And no, don't do anything before you at least look into this! - Download untrusted programs.
I'd guess that you meant "Avoid downloading untrusted programs." or "Download only programs you trust / from trusted sources." And probably the best thing is to not download anything at all on the computer you use to transfer or send coins, especially if you have a larger amount stored there and tons of payments, but for most, it's not really an option to have a separate machine for that. Add chipmixer.xyz to your hosts file (/etc/hosts on Linux and Mac) or C:\Windows\(system32?)\hosts on Windows:
Or maybe add the whole list mentioned in LeGaulois's topic. |

From national bank_1 to national bank_2? In my country, it charges something. Transactions within users of the same bank confirm instantly, though, and with no charge.
Yup, ING and Erste for example, I get zero fees for national transfers, AMRO also offers 0 fees for the whole eurozone but they are not instant, don't know how much they charge, there are some banks that offer them for free in some countries as they have alliances with other banks and so on. But yeah, I should have probably added: "some" as not all of them do and some that do do charge a monthly fee which doesn't exist in bitcoin. If you already know that your country bans Bitcoin, then don't do it. Even if you already have it, exchange it secretly, that's what P2P is for.
It depends on what type of enforcement that country seeks, if they ban it so they can wash their hands off any problems it causes then it's no problem dealing with it, if they actually seek to pursue and fine or arrest traders most P2P won't help you. Remember that in order to do P2P you still need to find a trader and deal with him over a different payment channel be it bank/wu/skrill whatever, that guy with his hundreds of weekly payments to strangers is so easy to identify that if they wanted they could track him in one minute. And then all they have to do is follow the money flow. I would advise anyone in a country that enforces a ban with prison sentences against trusting somebody online for trades, you might be dealing with an undercover cop.
