Yep, I can confirm, now it works. 2h ago it was either a glitch, either just very slow, especially as I tried on Tor browser, I don't know.

In my case it went on, but said then "This pad is not in your CryptDrive. Do you want to store it now?".
So I'd guess it's not there; maybe got a new name/URL at (re)upload, I don't know.

I would not be that certain even about this; the phone's original OS can have bugs and the various manufacturers' updates don't come that fast, plus, you don't know what bugs and open doors the phone's manufacturer software has (some even left on purpose).

Imho unless you really know what you're doing and you really know what your OS is doing (which I doubt it's the case for phones), having/using a hot wallet is a risk.

Gavin's writing is one key "documents" CSW is relying on in his lawsuits against everybody contesting his claims or exposing is lies.

CSW already managed to obtain court order hence bitcoin whitepaper is not available on bitcoin.org for UK people (IPs).
CSW is dragging into lawsuits from people on Twitter to Bitcoin businesses and even Bitcoin developers for not allowing him to steal millions of bitcoin.

So... it's not a small thing this update.

In the early days of WAVES I've got booked to make a translation for him and when I've finished he didn't want to pay me - basically he double booked by mistake this language and he paid the other translator.
But I started soon enough to complain on Twitter about this, and in very few days he approached me and paid his debt.
So.. my case was solved, I don't have anything to complain. And, although I've kept my WAVES for longer than I should have, I still sold them many years ago so I can't tell more.


I don't know where Sasha resides in, especially now because of the war, but I don't think that SEC can do much outside of USA. And the world is bigger than that.


I would try my luck on Twitter, as already said, and maybe I would also try my luck in that altcoins area too.

No worries. As I said, I understood.


Well, OP has started his journey in 2017.
So while he indeed seems to need such links, the wording "start your journey" is inaccurate 

Nothing is impossible, especially on short term.
Even on long term, we don't have crystal globes here. It's a Bitcoin forum here, so you'll find out that we trust Bitcoin and we think that its price will grow, still, Bitcoin is a rather risky investment and you should invest only money you afford to lose and only if you understand what you're doing (because bitcoin is also very easy to get stolen).


I think it's not too big, but I'm no expert and I was wrong before with my expectations.


100% loss by price going down is highly unlikely. However, as I said, you also need to learn to protect your coins properly against theft. And, as FTX story shown us, you will have to learn to be your own bank.


Whoever calls himself expert will be proven wrong by the history. We're just normal people and we may or may not be wrong. You should gather all the information you can get and take your own decisions.


And yet, most of the answers are not bad at all (including yours!)

OK. Thanks for clarification.
Since you've quoted me and wrote right afterwards "You could as well read the rules here to get some directives as you seem like a total newbie." I considered that you're referring to me.

Try to get all the hearth scans and all the data you can to as many doctors as possible. There may be that your condition is something unusual and only few know how to deal with it. Make us of the internet. Losing hope is not the best course of action. I fear this saga will take more of your energy and money, but I really hope for a happy end.

Sansele sunt, zic eu, mici momentan. Hai sa fim seriosi, comunitatea bitcointalk este totusi mica...
Dar clar, chiar daca or fi mici, nu sunt nule.

Si... daca cineva sta si ia la intrebari ATM-urile fara KYC... asta e bine pentru afacerea sponsorului tau
Lasand gluma la o parte, se pare ca ajungem ca tranzactiile fata in fata sa fie cele mai OK..

If you would have bothered to click the links I've provided, you'd see that they contain the relevant information.


Very good find!


If the information is useful, it will be merited sooner or later. Is it something else you've meant and I'm missing?
I mean, yes, some areas tend to get merits easier than others. But I think that OP needs more than trying his luck here and there for 1-2 merits. Getting to 100 is quite a step.

This is one valid point. As I said, b i a s e d. If tomorrow they'll sell their coins and invest into <insert name here>, then they'll start telling how shite Bitcoin is and how good <insert name here> is and will become in the following months and years. That's how this works.


This is another good point. Still, I'm not worried about bitcoin's value. I'm worried that people will somewhat lose their appetite in buying because of its high price - or, to say it different, I fear that the world's finance would not be strong enough to allow us go so high (I don't know how to express this better).

As written here, you'll need to get to 120 activity and 100 merit.
The activity is not hard to earn, you'll find in this post (among other things) also how it's calculated. Basically you need to post a bit more.
The merit is harder to get. You'll need to post things people find really useful so they'll merit your posts.

Afaik Cathie Wood's Ark Invest is heavily invested in Bitcoin. This means that it's clear that she and her company will always have very big predictions for Bitcoin, and this for two reasons:
* if they wouldn't trust Bitcoin they would haven't been buying or would sell
* they want to convince actual and potential investors (into Ark Invest) that their (Ark's) investments are good and can bring big money

I don't say they're wrong. But they're clearly biased.
...The report may be a bit too optimistic though.

Indeed. Sadly the vast majority cares about bitcoin and crypto only as tools to get them financial gains.
This being said, the less knowledge one has, the higher chance he will fall for scams, for altcoins with no future, name it. The less is the knowledge the higher the chance to see all the coins - bitcoin and altcoins - as get-rich-quick schemes and to believe all the claims and promises, no matter how wild (and wildly fake) they are.

Some few who take the patience to learn first and invest later and with caution may have better chances for the financial gains all dream about.
Yes, kind of like in the story with the turtle and the hare...

This is long overdue and I agree that the only reasonable explanation is that he has signed a legal paper and was bound to stay silent.
Still, better late than never, hence I salute this move.

Sunt de acord cu tine. Acele cifre/rezultate sunt aproape inumane. Felicitari Gazeta, dar ai grija si de viata ta!


Multumesc! Am crezut ca am doar o nominalizare, da m-am uitat acum si surprinzator am 4 in total... la 3 categorii diferite 
Asadar IntimitateaG sta mai bine decat mine, ca macar are toate voturile grupate. Imi pare rau, trebuia sa ma fi gandit si eu, ca meritai si votul meu.

There is a possible cases one would have $23M in Bitcoin; just then that person would most probably travel with a private jet though.
I expect a good number of initial investors have spent only small(er) portions at $10, $100, $1000, $10000 and still have some.


I think that's a gray area. Imho it's like with the VISA card. You can have much more than 10k on your VISA card or as deposits in your account and you don't have to declare it.
After all, normally and legally one will most probably sell bitcoins at a CEX or, anyway, with money coming into his bank account.

However, one can easily keep his seed phrase safely and separately and he can avoid surprises until the legislation becomes clearer.

No, it's not. I think that, by far, it's not a difficulty issue. Just read about the huge number of people getting their coins stolen in the second they receive them. This means that scammers do have pretty much similar tools (actually what you need may be even simpler).
But I see it as a security issue. A software running on a whatever system will need access to the private key of that address of mine. I don't like that; I would not allow that with a wallet I have money on.

No. Not at all. Whoever wants people think like that have malicious intentions. No matter for how long the money is not touched, if one has ideas to get that money away - under whatever reasons - that's plain theft.

* There are people and institutions holding for at very least 5 years.
* There are people using paper wallets, collectible items holding bitcoin and other things for many years. The coins are not moved, but they're most probably regularly checked.
* I expect successful LN channels stay open for many years.

And there are just few examples people have bitcoins not moved for many years. And 2 years? That's nothing. Even with 10 years time frame I would not be certain (!), since in 2011 there were already made Casascius coins.
