They always say that what money cannot buy can be bought for even more money. If people are willing to buy Bitcoin at a price that can tempt the owners, there will be sellers. The world is structured so that owning something rare will always be in demand for those who want to own something rare. Therefore, the purchase and sale movement will be regular. People can't just sit on money. Their money must move.

Buddy, 24 is the age of a man; why are you whining and begging? We have had many cases of people coming to the forum talking about their interests—mind you, about their interests! And for this or that activity, they needed financial assistance.
Is this forum like a charity center? Don't you understand that everyone has their own needs and problems, and no one cares about your desires?
Advice: go to work. Work morning, afternoon, and evening. And you will have several MacBooks, which you will pay for with bitcoins. Smiley

•No Government Regulations: While decentralization is  considered as an advantage of crypto, it can be seen as a disadvantage of Bitcoin, given that it implies there is no investment regulations.
Unlike a currency regulated by a Central Bank, Bitcoin transactions are not accompanied with legal protection, and given it's irreversibility, makes it scam prone.


It has been proven many times that most scams happen with fiat money rather than with bitcoin. The lack of government intervention makes Bitcoin the most interesting for its owners, which means that no regulatory authorities will be able to manipulate it for their own interests. Only the owner is his own bank, and only he is responsible for his investments. I don't think this is a minus.

Good position. Learning from the mistakes of others will lead you to a more secure path. But you didn’t tell us how high your level of knowledge is. We can talk endlessly about the correct saving of the seed phrase, about errors during transactions when copy-paste is used, about the unreliability of storing your funds on exchanges, and so on. It would be easier if you began to independently learn, step by step, the various subtleties of use and then periodically asked what you didn’t understand.
One topic will contain a lot of advice, but it is always better to focus on what is important so as not to turn it into one of the similar ones for beginners.

This is a weird case. People who buy high rank bitcointalk accounts are not new to the forum, I believe they are members who want alts to participate in signature campaigns and bounties. It’s strange that the buyer would miss the negative tags on the @stingers account, there is zero chance that they can monetize the account as campaign managers would not want such an account advertising for their clients. If truly @JustineCollins09 bought the account to give himself credibility on his services, he definitely made a mistake. An account with a poor reputation has no credibility whatsoever to recommend another person.

I wouldn't be so sure. Have you seen legends accounts whose post-histories are dramatically different? Buying high ranks is a common occurrence among beginners—those who think that they are more cunning and “smarter” than others, having “accidentally” found an account sales service. However, according to the history of posts, these people very easily come to light as incompetent for their rank, which subsequently prompts others to check them more carefully.
As for the buyer, he intended to buy an account of a higher rank.

I am also looking for one if it's allowed to sell.

Today we see that he does not write anything on his old account, but the newly purchased account (if it is his) is diligently trying to join all companies, even those with closed signatures.

What makes you think that? Reporting spammy or irrelevant posts, even in the gambling board, is the right thing to do. While moderators might have some flexibility depending on the specific gambling topics, they generally delete this kind of useless crap all the time.


All accounts have been destroyed. I think that SamReomo has not made a single attempt to report such shilling accounts, so it simply assumes and does not claim.
Although sending a report to moderators is a matter of minutes, users must allocate time. Those who are tormented by the question of bringing value to the forum can do this from time to time.
Yes, most likely this farm has a lot of other accounts, but there are more good users on the forum, so together we can prevent such behavior.
Just press the report button; you can make it a motto.

I join in the congratulations, and also thank everyone who voted for me. I did not enter into the arguments of men about how they would like to see evidence that there could be women in their powerful society. I thank everyone who had no doubts and voted for me.
I also promise to closely monitor and look for all scammers who are trying to deceive the forum and its users. I think scammers should not meddle on the forum, since many people try to keep it clean.
Thank you all.

Many people are introduced here, but their lack of patience sends them packing. Some recognize their own merit and discourage others from trying, which is why the majority of new users are not increasing. However, if you remember that you are capable of succeeding, you won't find anything too challenging, even though better things never come easily.


In fact, everything is much simpler. There is no need to force yourself to visit the forum. How the OP expresses patience. Who and what should we tolerate here? The forum does not hold anyone by force. It's just that people who come here don't understand the real purpose of the forum. They go for money, and that's why they need ranks.
But does everyone admit that those who are interested in Bitcoin should not be patient, or is something else from the OP’s advice important to them? He just is. He comes when he needs it, when he is interested, asks when he doesn’t know, and teaches when he has something to say, without inventing anything and without forcing himself with the thought of benefit.
If you are sincere, you will be noticed and recognized.

If YouTube did not promise any payments to YouTubers, you would probably be left with those who know information about trading well or normally. But since most channels are aimed only at making money and getting subscribers, we see hundreds of amateurs presenting themselves as experienced traders or analysts.
There are several really competent channels, and we must be very careful about all the information, carefully checking it with other sources, realizing that even the number of subscribers is very easily bought these days.

If you ever tried using Electrum Appimage, you wouldn't say that. Download and run Appimage (Linux) is nearly as easy as download and run portable version (Windows). Here's a very simple GUI guide, https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/.
Yes, I have personally tried to run the Appimage of Electrum on Lubuntu Linux and I faced issues during launching of that Appimage, I sorted the issue because I have been using Linux for many years but those who just transition to Linux may not be able to fix such issues easily.

Watch how Hashuna argues with Mega22 very often. The latter repeatedly calls project a scam.
I wouldn't be surprised that the 50 merits were sent to give weight to Hashuna's account, but since Icefrag understands that it's not worth risking his high rank by promoting a scam, he sent the merits to another newbie account that he doesn't mind losing.
It would be interesting to hear the opinion of Mega22, since it is clearly not a matter of the desire to participate in signature, as someone writes. Mega22 clearly knows more, since he communicated in a telegram outside the forum.
293  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Isn't trading almost like gambling? on: February 26, 2024, 10:23:37 AM
I would still give preference to trading, since a person, even making mistakes, will do his own analysis and learn by gaining experience. I am sure that successful traders have a good experience of success and mistakes, after which a person consciously takes risks, acting on his established strategy.
When gambling, a person runs the risk of becoming addicted, the way out of which can sometimes be very difficult. Is it possible to plan your winnings?

The general public, as you say, is ready and willing to use cryptocurrency. However, regulatory authorities constantly throw a spanner in the works, prohibiting the widespread use of cryptocurrencies in one way or another. Can we talk about the will of the people if, in different countries, regulators either impose a complete ban on the use of crypto or Bitcoin is often in a gray area? And people use one trick or another to use and have Bitcoin, despite the government's other opinion. I don’t see freedom in this, unfortunately.

OP, having looked at your started threads, I can say that you are as consistent as anyone. But the trouble is that you are the same everywhere. From topic to topic, you promote only one thought: patience, criticism, love for the forum, and blah blah. May I ask what your topic is today? Wasn’t everything you said just now in other topics you opened?

From time to time, instead of benefiting the forum, you create similar topics in which users create a bunch of identical answers. Can you call this a boon for the forum? May I ask if you are a forum psychologist?

If we look at all your advice fairly, then in any society, a newcomer must always get comfortable on his own.  You regularly repeat platitudes. I think everyone here is old enough and understands perfectly well that in order to achieve something, you need to have some experience.
You teach so often on your topics. Maybe it would be better to share your experience.

Such fraud will exist as long as there are freebie lovers, greedy people for whom the news of any free distribution acts as a red flag for the bull. They are so hasty in the hope of being able to get it quickly that it is useless to talk to them and warn them about caution. Life will teach you regularly; this is how people become smarter if they do not learn from the mistakes of others.
297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Outcomes of insighting gambling for a source of income. on: February 25, 2024, 02:04:19 PM
I feel sorry for such people, those who are very stupid, thinking that Lady Fortune will dump her winnings on them, after which they don’t have to work for the rest of their lives. Why did people decide that they could add up their capital suddenly and immediately? And how long will they have to endure until the lessons are learned?
A good rule of thumb is to pay yourself first. What does it mean? You should leave some of your earnings. If you spend money left and right, you will not be able to exaggerate your capital. Especially when playing games of chance, where the amount of random winnings will always be small compared to the number of losses that avid gamblers receive.
How many people do we know who live off their winnings? But there are many more of those who fall into the pit.
298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The shocking rate of women interested in gambling. on: February 25, 2024, 01:44:31 PM
I don't see any difference whether a woman or a man plays. What should truly prohibit a woman from gambling? Is there a difference in weight class or something else that a man can do that a woman can't do? The world today has equalized the genders of women and men. Now we see men changing their gender to female and back. So what's the problem? Male pride? In fact, you shouldn't be jealous when you see a woman more successful. That feeling when women began to realize that they could fly airplanes and be luckier at gambling should show men in a sense their weakness, not their surprise. It's time to get used to equality.

You can turn off tracking trackers on your mobile phone and use it without a SIM card, which is much more convenient than carrying a bulky laptop. But you still need an Internet connection, so if you know the price of the product, wouldn’t it be more convenient to transfer the required amount to your phone in advance and use Wi-Fi solely to pay for the product? I don’t think that while connecting the phone to Wi-Fi and paying, any surprises can happen. Everything needs to be done quickly and carefully.

Most newbies aren't aware of Linux operating system. Installing and using Electrum on Linux for such people may be out of question, I know that it's safe to go with Electrum on Linux but most users aren't Linux users so it won't be easy for them to move from Windows to Linux and install Electrum on that new operating system.

Why are you sure that using Electrum on Linux is safe? Do you know the meaning of the expression monkey with a grenade?
You can just as easily expose yourself to a virus by copying the wrong command into the terminal and being exposed to a virus.
On the other side, I am a Linux lover and very careful when handling it, but even as an amateur, not a professional, installing an electrum wallet from Appimage seems to me to be one of the simplest things.
