 Either way, he may not be a scammer and I'm willing to go with what @lovesmayfamilis says but at the same time, with all the questionable words in the body of the message, I'm tempted to believe he's not the most honest of the bunch. Maybe this is why Op is finding it hard to do anything with the message.

Today, Tahimas decided to create posts and topics on the forum after a long period of inactivity. You can involve him on this topic. Moreover, Tahimas received a neutral review from one participant and could ask for the tag to be removed by telling the reason for the PM since the community is very discussed and scared of his PM Grin. But in my opinion, interrogating him about his connections with any project should not bother anyone or even ask questions.
I responded to Tajimas in a PM but did not agree to his continuation of further contacts. There was no fraud, just like there was no need for his tag.

On the other hand Linux based OS in the market is just rare[2], mostly are high specs that only techy people can use, and mostly personally installed from techy peeps.


Seeing this phrase, I had a desire to categorically disagree with you. I won’t even read the links you provided, since I know from my own experience that using Linux systems most often requires minimum requirements. Having more than 4 gigabytes of RAM is extremely rare; generally, for the average user, 2 gigabytes or even less is enough, since the styles are all minimalistic. Yes, I know that there are a lot of servers running on Linux, and they probably require great requirements, but not for the average user. But what are we talking about? So that the user can surf the Internet and use a wallet. Windows is popular because it is used by gamers, designers, and those who require large amounts of RAM. And here you are confusing Linux with Windows.
I once provided data on the amount of Linux usage, and I would advise you to also read it.

Most of those who invested several years ago were probably independent people, and the money they allowed themselves to spend on buying Bitcoin was not their last. In addition, some knowledge and understanding of why people invest is required, as well as the period that should bring profit. We know that Bitcoin always meets targets when it reaches long-term targets. I think those people who remain with strong hands have ambitious goals, and some small percentage of the profit does not satisfy them. It is from this that the continuation of holding for many years forces people to remain with unspent wallets.

He probably wanted to invest and sell after a fairly short time. Talking about regular investments with little opportunity to have extra money does not in any way relate to the concept of whether a person is experienced or not. Yes, you must have strong confidence and strong hands and not cry when the price drops. But comparing experience and poverty is not the same thing.

As a beginner that wants to significantly grow his knowledge about BTC in particular and cryptocurrency in general so as to be able to make meaningful contributions to the forum, which of the boards and threads am I expected to regularly visit and read about them in the forum please

And then in a year, another topic will be created with such questions. Grin
OP has been on the forum for a year. What is wrong with you? Keep in mind that by creating such stupid topics, you are once again attracting unnecessary attention to your account. And such interest may not always work in your favor.
I am sure that this is not your first account, and you will help us find out the first one.

Sometimes merits are needed, not only for rank. Sometimes you want to thank someone for good posts, but if those who, according to the OP, have enough merit have nothing to express their gratitude with, they will simply end up on the sidelines. Don't worry about merit. Those who are worthy will always receive them, and those who regularly look at them, considering and envying what they think is a “useless waste”  will remain stressed, counting “money in someone else’s wallet.”

Bad for you that you didn't listen to what I say. You want an example of where did you plagiarize your posts. Now you have two, one just was given by lovesmayfamilis, the second is from me. Your chances to not to be banned are decreased significantly. Mainly because you started lying.



And another one user who likes to use AI for the posts is Gormicsta (75 merits already, so close to Full... and a he's a part of this case)



Yes, by watching how these accounts raise themselves in rank by transferring merit, you don’t need to be a fortune-teller to understand how this all happens. They are now all in full view with such a frank transfer of merit. And the “reward” will come to everyone.

 While some people believe that all you need to win in gambling is luck, this is not the case. Players definitely need the luck to win gambling games, but this is not all that you need. Yes, as a gambler, you will also need skills. Although, while we can see that skills are also very important, skill alone will not make a winner. In fact, skill combined with luck and psychology and a good and reliable casino will make you are a successful gambler. Gambling always involves a certain amount of luck, but certain types of games also require a great deal of skill. But, as we shall see, even in games that rely entirely on luck, such as roulette, skill can be an asset for players to understand their chances. With most of us staying at home during these difficult times, American, European and British casinos are seeing their visitor numbers increase. What better time to find out where luck can help you make quick money and where your odds are relatively small.
  Poker is clearly an example of a game that requires a lot of skill. The World Series of Poker is not won by a random player, but by a fairly skilled individual. However, poker can also involve a bit of luck. Poker is a long-term game in which players consider their cards and hand and think mathematically about the probability of success in the game. But in the end, if you keep getting the wrong cards (and it happens), you are sure to lose, regardless of your skill. Sports betting requires some skill to keep an eye on teams and players, but there is also a bit of luck involved, as matches can involve a fair degree of uncertainty. Casino slots and lotteries do not involve skill, and some might say the odds are always against you. The most important thing to remember is that the casino always has the advantage. Roulette is a game based entirely on luck, but as you will see, there is also skill involved. First, understand why the casino has the advantage.

    One of the conceits of cryptocurrencies is that anyone can mine them using a computer with an Internet connection. However, mining popular cryptocurrencies requires considerable energy, sometimes as much energy as entire countries consume. The expensive energy costs coupled with the unpredictability of mining have concentrated mining among large firms whose revenues running into the billions of dollars. Though cryptocurrency blockchains are highly secure, other crypto repositories, such as exchanges and wallets, can be hacked. Many cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets have been hacked over the years, sometimes resulting in millions of dollars worth of "coins" stolen.
   Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies still have their fair share of haters and critics. Being a relatively new currency, it will take time to gain widespread trust and adoption. That’s why it’s risky to invest in bitcoin. Critics and haters try to spread distrust in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, which can impact the value and your investment in bitcoin. But when it comes to investing, you've got to balance your adventurous spirit with some down-to-earth sensibility. Do your research, diversify your investments, and never put all your eggs in one basket — unless it’s a basket you’ve crafted yourself from end-to-end, and even then, be cautious. So, yes, Bitcoin could be a thrilling part of your portfolio. Just make sure it's a part you can afford to take a wild ride with, or possibly even afford to lose. Enter the game with eyes wide open, a solid plan, and an exit strategy.

The risk of not taking risks in life or business is that one may miss out on opportunities for growth, innovation, and success. By avoiding risks altogether, individuals and organizations may become stagnant and fail to adapt to changing circumstances or take advantage of new opportunities. avoiding risks, individuals and organizations may miss out on potential opportunities for growth, innovation, or financial gain. Of course, it's important to balance risk-taking with thoughtful evaluation of potential risks and benefits. However, completely avoiding risks altogether can be detrimental to personal and professional growth and success.
  It's important to note that taking risks does not imply reckless behavior. Instead, it involves making informed decisions, evaluating potential outcomes, and considering the balance between potential rewards and potential downsides. Managing risks effectively often involves a calculated and measured approach, where risks are understood and mitigated to the extent possible. Ultimately, the right approach to risk-taking varies from person to person and situation to situation. Some level of risk is often necessary for growth, innovation, and achieving goals, but the degree of risk should align with an individual's or organization's risk tolerance, objectives, and circumstances.

  Bitcoin has consistently witnessed fluctuations in its price, affirming the inherent volatility of the cryptocurrency. The surge in Bitcoin's value can be attributed to various factors. Now, with the opportunity to invest significantly on power-miner, store and earn daily profits through mining and trading for up to six months, life is becoming more promising for Bitcoin investors. We owe gratitude to the leaders in the world of cryptocurrency for introducing alternative avenues for earning digital currency. Media Coverage Investors base their decisions on psychological factors, including intuition and the performance of key market components. Positive media coverage has played a significant role in driving up the value of Bitcoin. This was particularly evident during the early days of Bitcoin when reports about an alternative form of currency started gaining traction. The impact of favorable media reviews cannot be underestimated when it comes to the appreciating value of Bitcoin.
  Ultimately, whether Bitcoin is worth holding as an investment depends on your individual financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. It's essential to conduct thorough research and seek professional advice before making any investment decisions. As Bitcoin's adoption continues to grow and more individuals and businesses embrace it, the market cap will increase, leading to greater stability and liquidity. However, until then, the fluctuations in Bitcoin's price will persist due to its current limitations.

 El Salvador becoming the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender is a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency industry. The move is expected to have both positive and negative implications for the wider adoption and use of cryptocurrencies. On the positive side, El Salvador's decision is likely to increase awareness and adoption of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, in other countries. It could also pave the way for other countries to follow suit, further legitimizing cryptocurrencies as a means of payment and store of value. Moreover, the move could also provide economic benefits to El Salvador. It is estimated that the use of Bitcoin could potentially reduce the cost of remittances, which is a significant source of income for the country. In addition, it could attract foreign investment in the country's cryptocurrency industry.  
   However, there are also potential risks and downsides to El Salvador's decision. Bitcoin is known for its volatility, and using it as legal tender could expose the country's economy to significant price swings and other risks associated with cryptocurrencies. Moreover, the adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender may not necessarily lead to widespread adoption by businesses and individuals, as it still faces issues such as scalability and regulatory uncertainty. Overall, the move by El Salvador is a significant development for the cryptocurrency industry and could have far-reaching implications for its adoption and use as a means of payment and store of value. However, the success of Bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador remains to be seen and will depend on a variety of factors, including its ability to address key issues such as volatility, scalability, and regulatory uncertainty.

Both investing more and taking fewer risks can be effective strategies for achieving good returns, but the effectiveness depends on various factors including individual goals, risk tolerance, investment horizon, and market conditions. Taking fewer risks typically involves investing in assets or strategies that offer more stability and predictability. While lower-risk investments may offer lower returns compared to riskier investments, they can provide a more consistent and steady stream of income over time. This can be particularly appealing for investors who prioritize capital preservation and are less comfortable with market volatility. Also, investing more money can potentially lead to higher returns, especially if invested wisely in assets that have the potential for growth over time. By increasing the amount invested, you can take advantage of compounding returns and potentially earn higher profits in the long run.
  Both investing more and taking fewer risks can be effective strategies for achieving good returns, but it's essential to strike the right balance based on your individual circumstances and financial objectives. Consider consulting with a financial advisor to develop a personalized investment plan that aligns with your goals and risk tolerance. But one should never ever forget that learning through struggles and taking risks is natural for us and we have grown up by struggling right from our birth. We were born through struggle, a struggle by our mother and ourselves for coming out of our mother’s womb, a struggle for trying to walk, a struggle for trying to express our feelings through language, or a struggle for learning to bicycle. Remember what made you and people around you much happier - are the moments you achieved something out of struggle. Taking Risks and Experimenting is not a skill to be learnt, It is a skill not to be forgotten.

Why do you think we need another Bitcoin?

This was my first thought. The "bicycle" has already been invented. Unfortunately, we don’t see anything new other than a parody, although we periodically see statements about the creation of a new and great coin. OP, all you see on the market is the repetition of an idea being repeated. It’s difficult to say that this will always be the case, but so far, time shows that Bitcoin is unique and confirms this more and more every year.

In another case, just think that you are on a forum. There are different people here; someone communicates through PM, someone publicly displays PM, and this is condemned by the forum.

OP, you won’t believe it, but you’ve come to a place where there are a lot of failed millionaires or billionaires. Many people knew about Bitcoin from the very beginning, but very few people have bought and tried to hold it until now. Therefore, talking about an unfulfilled event is like regretting spilled milk. I am more than sure that your story is fiction.

A good phrase will suit you: “It’s not a shame that you were born poor, it’s a shame to be poor now.” -If we translate the whole meaning of knowledge about Bitcoin.

The Russians have a proverb: “Looks at a book, sees a fig.” I don’t know how much this can be understood in another language, but about the people the OP writes about, this is a very good characteristic.
In addition, if you have difficulty with information that you read and forget an hour later, this indicates an unhealthy brain, which can be supported with vitamins and dietary supplements to improve blood circulation.
This is in no way cynicism or an attempt to offend, but the impact of absorbing information largely depends on your diet, sleep, and the lifestyle you lead.

By the way, Op, you are confusing the words' readability with the love of reading, or the ability to read correctly. Your definition is suitable for the second meaning, as it is about how comfortable it is for a person to read these or other texts. And it depends entirely on the author, not on the reader.

Presidential elections in the USA happens every four years and interestingly Bitcoin halving happens the same year as the USA presidential elections , so let me analyse the  previous presidential elections starting from 2012 the early years of Bitcoin, that was the year for the first Bitcoin halving, Bitcoin was around $10 and finished that year at $13 , but fast forwarding to November 2013 a year after the halving and USA election Bitcoin surged to $253 and $1129 at the end of November 2013,

After the halving and the elections of 2016 by 2017, BTC broke through $1,000 in early January 2017 and $2,000 in May 2017. BTC then doubled to $4,000 in August 2017.

Though the COVID pandemic actually affected Bitcoin in 2020, Keep in mind that the bulk of the last Bitcoin bull run took place after the 2020 presidential election
it made its real move in the final quarter of 2020. It shattered its all-time high by breaching $15,000 in November 2020, moving above $20,000 in December 2020, and ending the year at around $29,000, so with all this statistic BTC is up for a bull run after the halving and the presidential elections.

  The only way is to use Cloud backup in other to completely avoid data loss during any disaster .

Cloud backup storage is an online backup that is used  for storing of data base in case of any environmental disaster.
Cloud backup also has its own risk  but trusting it means proper enycption of the seed phrase before storing puts it at a lower risk because it's always targeted .

It is important that any computer  system that you use to view your seed phrase should be free from malware .
 Cloud storage is without trouble strong and healthy it has risks largely due to its quality and by how much potential access could happen in a way that is not planed or showing a desire to cause harm be granted to data stored there.

There is a potentially very great in number to place in a particular position so that they are in order of options and tools available to perform encryption.

How to use Cloud storage to back up your Seed Phrase.

Read this article if you want to better understand the strengths and potential pitfalls in storing your seed phrase in the Cloud.

Vault12 Crypto Security

January 18 2024


One of the many ways that you could choose to back up your crytocurrency seed phrase would be to back it up to the Cloud. Although Cloud storage is not risk-free, proper encryption of your seed phrase before storing it there lowers the risk and makes it an option that you might consider.

TL;DR (concentrated takeaways)

If you rely on Cloud storage for backing up your seed phrase, you must encrypt it first - else it is extremely poorly protected. Cloud storage is a target!

It is critical that any computer that you use for encryption, or for viewing your seed phrase, be free from malware.

Although Cloud storage is convenient and robust, it has risks largely due to its complexity and by how much potential access could accidentally or maliciously be granted to data stored there.

There is a potentially overwhelming array of options and tools available to perform encryption.

Password managers can be effective and convenient for some secrets, but their operation must also be well-understood in order to provide the safety that they are meant to provide.


For anything that you encrypt, you must keep and store a backup of the decryption key (too)!

On the surface, the peace of mind given by Cloud providers gives by taking responsibility of long-term digital file storage looks like making the Cloud the perfect place to store your seed phrase. However, news reports cover with alarming frequency tales about information being stolen from various Cloud storage repositories, whether due to inappropriate permission configuration, software vulnerabilities, or even insider theft by employees with authorized access to computer systems, networks, or recycled hardware.
Cloud security can be excellent, but it is not perfect - especially the parts that rely on human diligence. This is why it is necessary for your sensitive information to be stored in the Cloud and be encrypted before being placed there, If someone were to gain unauthorized access to your Cloud files, but those files were strongly encrypted, he would not be able to read the contents.
Cloud storage is great but has risks, but encryption offers some protection.

Advantages of Cloud backup of your seed phrase

.Convenience.
.Reduces risk of physical loss or media failure.
.Reduced risk from natural disasters
.Good security controls when carefully applied.

I would like to add interesting and relevant news to this topic. If I understand correctly, gamers mostly play on Windows. Soon, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10, and to receive regular security updates for Windows 11, you will need to pay an additional amount of around 60 bucks for the first year of service, and then more.

https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/3/24120093/microsoft-windows-10-extended-security-updates-price

I think few people will want to pay the extra money and will remain on Windows 10, which will lead to even greater security holes on Windows without updates.
Therefore, it is now becoming a pressing issue to learn to use Linux. Although I'm not a gamer, I know that it supports some games. After all, separating your finances and entertainment into different systems would be a surefire way to stay safe.

I don't think it is a straight scam. Maybe you work for nothing, that's all, but at least it doesn't seem that you will send any money and lose it. But hey! for some people time is more valuable than money itself, and it is a scarce resource indeed, so be careful.

What surprised me is the following:

-snip-
To be honest,i'm afraid to create a topic,because now,under the new rules,the merits of the account can be removed Cheesy
-snip-

Is it true that, under the new rules, the merits can be removed? If that's the way it works now, this is the first news I read about it...



I also received the same PM, and it happened on the first of April when the forum celebrated April Fool's Day. The author of the letter was not in on the joke but only read the headline in META, so he decided that merits could be taken away for any violation.

Besides that, I checked his website, and there is no scam or phishing there. The guy wanted some kind of support, nothing more.

Still, the OP's warning is very relevant. Now, the time is coming when scammers have armed themselves with different types of scams to deceive forum users in one way or another. Don’t expect to receive a lucrative offer, but always ask why they are writing to you, and why would someone give money if they never pinch their pockets.
