I'm only putting up a list of those highly used features in a text that you can also use to make your text look a bit more cool.
B is for bold
I is to make your text looks Italic
U is for underline
S is to strike out the words
Url button helps you to use an URL link and show it
Remaining are all the Emos that help you address us about your mood.

It is not about privacy on Twitter, but popularity as well as the free buck they make per each transaction made through those apps (or any advertised apps on Twitter or whatever the social media you refer to). And don't just forget the real game behind, it's also about that ^Crypto Twitter guy^ who is trying to make an extra buck by telling you about these services and giving you a shortened URL where you make him money at 2 different stages - First is when you watch that ad that comes up when you open that link and the other one is when you use those websites under his/her referral link.

That's because we, the people love to save on and we don't think much about privacy when it comes to fiat but hey, you get freaked down all over once you have that BTC on your address and voila, this gives info to the advertisers that you are now a proud owner of some Satoshis (a smallest unit of BTC). However, I saw Amazon.com in the first image and I'd like to say that Amazon gift cards allow you to add money and pay for almost all types of services these apps are making available to you, so why not do a flip of the services and instead trying to catch on some Satoshis via these sites and break our privacy, just visit Localbitcoins or paxful, buy some BTC with your fiat and then let others buy your BTC against Amazon gift card for around 40-50% higher payments per BTC? I'm sure there are dealers who do like that and save a lot of bucks while paying for their bills (and maybe their neighbor's too) I know I didn't talk any shit about cashbacks here but this 40-50% discounted purchase of AGC without having to reveal your identity is much better than going for some Satoshis while giving all your data on these websites. I know that purchasing BTC on exchanges also need kyc to be done but that's the minimum kyc they ask for, while on the other side the exchange won't know where did you use that gift card, so you are safe on one side at least.

Looking for bulls to stop shorts from breaking key level at $9400 else we may see a $8600 BTC as I predicted earlier in this thread which is the only price I see possible as the least.


You mean that it is time for the bulls' savage attack on bears to take the revenge they had been looking for since last month? Bears didn't get stopped out, means they have set their orders higher to shoot the price down if I'm not wrong?

Seeing yours and many other forum members' stories inspire everyone here who just complain about not getting merits and/or stop putting efforts and just leave the forum. Though, it is for the good of the forum itself that if people leave because they had the fear of not getting merited and ranked up, either it meant that they knew that they were not posting quality content with higher efforts or they didn't have the courage to fight it back. You, my friend, are an inspiration here to me, to everyone here who wants to achieve merits because merits are a token of appreciation for a work done with good will, a work done with some efforts that can be seen in your posts, a work done with a mentality to fight the fear of merits and just do it. I'm sorry I don't have merits to share else I'd have given all of them to you, mate. Good luck with your achievements and may you become a legendary member this year itself.

Isn't it possible for them to sell those coins in OTC deals? I mean not all the buyers are clever enough to know that the coins are tainted and will just accept and those who know and are intentionally buying it will do that solely for their own benefit as they could likely get it at a handsome discount over market price.

To learn from the experiences of people, whether it's about spam, refraining from scam, new earning opportunities, the glossary in cryptopedia, struggle to get a higher rank through gaining merits, how-to's, guides, warnings, all sort of technical material, all kinds of speculations, you can have all this in the book of Bitcointalk where you should come every single day to learn something new, see something new, experience something new.

It's not true that gamblers don't get respect, every different place has different people with different opinions. Some prefer that you shouldn't gamble, if you hide your activities at such places then there's no harm to your respect but if one knows, he/she will spread this in the society and then you may be seen as a "not-to-hangout-with" type of a person. And yeah, nobody in this world can master gambling (except if they are too good on a specific game and have great knowledge about it), so thinking about yourself to be the master of gambling will make you lose big in the end.

To me, I think Centralized exchanges are more user-friendly than DEXes due to which people don't like to visit their websites while they can do all the trading on a CEX app like Binance, Kucoin, Hotbit, etc. and that's the only reason why DEXes don't have much volume. Most of the DEXes I've seen are mostly based on Eth smart contracts, but I believe that Eth itself is Centralized so how can those DEXes be called as decentralized ones?

China spent around 977 million CNY to build those special hospitals equipped with around 1k beds to treat those patients found with Corona virus, and China is one of those countries where a lot of BTC was already mined and traded and they still do it.

So you were speaking about helping China!? What? Who? China?
Ask them if they are really looking for any help.  

While you have mostly described Bitcoin's nature, I'd like to point out a fact here that on one hand, Banks which give us max 6% on a savings account while we can get max 8-10% (depending on the country you live in) for a fixed deposit amount, Bitcoin gives us the opportunity to trade it as an asset class of its own where we can invest and earn great returns (hypothetical - based on a case-by-case basis). Last year itself showed how BTC gradually increased in its value from its bottom at $3200 to around $14300, which totals it to ~4.5x return for which you'll need to wait your entire life if you want this type of return from a Bank with a specified decided amount.

It could have gone either way (I mean I've also seen this to be turning red sometimes so it's not something I'd call as fixed upside move) but the fact is, you can try with a leverage of around 5-10x max and go for either one side you believe, that will show up, or just make 2 accounts and hedge your position to make small profits once the direction of the market is confirmed.

I remember of a website which had (not so similar but a bit of the same type) last nonce digits prediction and we either double or nothing when we go for a given size and if we choose an exact digit, it used to give around 19x the bet (don't remember exactly but not less than that) and the name of the website was satoshinonce. @OP, why don't you create such type of a project where a meaningful prediction is made rather than asking people to predict a pot size?

Currently, I'm putting my watch on the coins which were launched on the Binance platform through their IEO feature. I believe there are still some coins waiting to get to their purchase values and should definitely rise due to this fact alone. On other hand, if I had BTC, I'd definitely refrain from investing in some single-digit Satoshi coins (trust me, Pundi X is my all-time favorite project but I got fucked by the same project as the value didn't rise but crashed hardly and made me lose around 1.5 BTC which I made through it only). You have some better choices available and I still see Waves to be waving hard once again towards its top.

It went up ~5% in a matter of minutes, what would you call it if not manipulation? I didn't say that Bitfinex managed to manipulate the markets but it was a good short term shake for the short-ers to get a shock with a candle almost red during the beginning of the day but suddenly stroked up in no time.

No, the times didn't coincide I guess but the thing is, their announcement was enough for such manipulation to take place as always witnessed before that whenever they threw some maintenance, we were always having an impact of higher volatility in markets.

I saw an announcement made some time ago that Bitfinex was going to have a maintenance mode today, so did it apparently served as a reason for BTC to make a jump above $10k once again? According to their tweet 3 hours ago, their maintenance was successfully finished. Shall we conclude that it was a mild pump that's over now or was it a sign of the bullish revert once again?

Still, the link makes it clearly visible on the LTC block explorer. But it can only be traced if BTC address is the same, so some level of privacy is still there but not a lot. Can't you just maintain a bigger balance of BTC on a wallet for some time (I mean have your transactions all on a single address for some months or weeks, you choose) and then, just visit an exchange like Localbitcoins or some gambling websites like Sportsbet or nitrogensports, deposit all your coins there and withdraw from there for free while having all those coins on a fresh new address which cannot be traced without Sportsbet or nitrogensports' revealing - which may never happen?

Faketoshi's socks were looking like a warning sign which showed that whomsoever listens to him is going to get pissed by the Lord of crypto as they will likely be fried as fritters in hot oil just to believe that Faketoshi is the real Satoshi. He is creating more and more blunders while trying to prove himself to be the original copy, but you know what, he's not even a duplicate. 

I don't see a bear sign anywhere as one of the most awaited triangles have been broken on both daily and weekly charts. This Tone vays who predicts $4k as the bottom needs to look some people's predictions who are deeply invested in this technology - Tom Lee gave a big statement that BTC will surpass Dow Jones and reach $40k before Dow does. I believe such statement itself counters these bears who are interested in making money shorting BTC. $8600 is the worst I'm seeing here and folks, don't worry about the bears, we're already in a big bull rally - this time it's gonna be extreme. There's one more fact that for BTC mining to remain profitable, we need at least $15k on the table in order to achieve better returns through mining.
