Multumesc de raspuns. O sa mai astept un pic (eventual un raspuns si de la Rizzrack) si vad atunci.
Vezi ca a aparut un nou concurs. Deja am participat, dar inca nu am avut timp sa scriu (eventual daca ai timp, poti sa faci tu onorurile, altfel ma ocup eu un pic mai incolo).

If (or when) Binance will go down, another exchange (or, hopefully a DEX this time, although I doubt is) will rise and take the lead. It has happened before. Many even thought that FTX will replace Binance, heh.
Plus, "crypto" will probably get a well deserved blow, since most projects' reason to exist is just to suck up money. Although many will just switch to Bitcoin intead of Tether, for example.

Actually, without Tether the system (the prices!) could become clearer and more honest, since Tether is, let's be honest, overly inflated.

I don't know why people keep relying on centralized stuff no matter how hugely disappointing that is...

Thank you for the raffle!

You may be right, if that while at least contains a crypto winter, excepting this one.
Then you may see a pattern, they may have more confidence.

But the noisier ones on the matter are the newcomers, which are scared.
And let's be honest, no matter how many bitcoin cycles we've witnessed, none was during a worldwide economic recession (although there are mixed signals whether it's a worldwide recession or not).

Can you buy today anonymous irreversible payment things with your card?
Or, even better, can you withdraw paper fiat from your card?
Also, can you buy Bitcoin with your card or with bank transfer?
Well, same will have to happen with CBDCs too.

CBDCs will be competition for Visa/Mastercard (centralized, fiat related), CBDCs will be competition for stable coins (centralized). Bitcoin (decentralized), as I said, will be pretty much unaffected.

Exactly this. Many big business is sponsoring both political sides to ensure support no matter what.
Thinking that FTX was caring about this or that party is just silly political manipulation.

Of course, some Democrats will say FTX is tied to Republicans and some Republicans will say that FTX is tied to Democrats.
People should really read more and from better sources.

You really need a 101th topic on this? Every week new topics pop up asking about this.
I've linked a very few of them:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5416457.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5419584.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5419179.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5409436.0


Short answer: little to no impact. CBDCs are just another representation of fiat.

Am observat ca diferite(le) pagini de web legate de pariuri sportive deja prezente pe bitcointalk au inceput concursuri legate de cupa mondiala.
Unele dintre acestea chiar sunt "complet gratuite" cat timp utilizatorul are cont la ei (nu stiu daca si KYC, ca in acel caz stim discutia, nu mai e deloc gratuit).

Intrebarea este: are sens sa postam concursuri de acest gen? Ca nu as dori sa doar fac postari care nu sunt utile nimanui, stim si noi cam cati romani suntem activi pe aici, iar parerea mea inclina spre directia ca ar fi efort degeaba. Deci?

You're "a little bit" late, I don't know why you accepted loan(s) with collateral you didn't use.
And expecting "their humanity raise", come on, you know better, that money is long gone with 0 chance to return.
I'll support those flags.

It may worth noting that in order to be 100% correct and complete about the flags you should have been also adding here the original topics about those loans too.

I think that in most such cases, sooner or later a mod comes in and locks the topic.
Until then I don't think that we can do much more than just reporting.

PS. May was not even that long ago, you know there are even much older topics resurrected now and then.

From what I know the usual escrows used on this forum are users (ie actual people) with high rank and very good reputation, which also want to do this.
A not too old list of escrows is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2439910.0


Like every place in the world, the forum also has its fair share of scammers. So you should be careful when doing deals.

No, he doesn't. And as a fun fact, it can happen (in a distant future) that Bitcointalk treasury will be richer than Elon. How about that?


Were you asked if you agree Twitter to be sold to Elon?
However, I'll be nice and will answer: no, I would not agree. Elon would change the forum in ways I would most probably not like.
Plus, he (and many agencies and other fat wallets) would have access to private information they should not.


Not at all. You should stop living in fairy tales and realize than not everything he touches becomes superior.

The users can delete their own posts in most boards, although in some cases they have to wait for 24h after posting.
You've never seen the delete sign on your own posts?!


If you delete a few posts now and then when you realize you've mistaken, you've answered something already answered, or somebody else has posted a way better answer than yours (or whatever other reasons), you're OK.
If you delete your own history, or you try to cover the tracks of a deal, well, that's shady and will probably be noticed.

Do you think that all my posts are top quality? I do my best, but it may not always work out well.
Do you think that my posts from.. let's say 6 years ago were as good and knowledgeable as those from the past year?..
People are not perfect. People keep learning. You should acknowledge / understand that.

Mea culpa!
Intr-adevar, la unul dintre concursuri se poate inscrie lumea pana aproape de Revel.
Nu stiu cum de mi-a scapat. L-am pus acum "pe prima pagina". Multumesc!

Intr-adevar, bafta sa avem!


Cred ca cel putin unul dintre ele il avusem in lista, dar l-am scos dupa ce s-a terminat perioada de inscriere.
Dar o sa ma uit din nou (ceva mai tarziu) si o sa adaug daca este cazul.

Mining still happens, but if you don't want to pay for expensive mining gear or if your electricity is expensive (making mining unprofitable), you will have to buy from somewhere.
But that "somewhere" can be of many types:
* most known are centralized exchanges
* then there are decentralized exchanges
* then you can buy from some sellers even from this forum
* then you can buy by meeting sellers in person
* or you can buy from Bitcoin ATMs
* or you can buy from OTC exchanges
* or you can mine altcoins and sell them for bitcoin

I guess that there are other choices too, but as a first list, this looks OK to me.

From what I've read, Guarda is non-custodial?
If so, maybe there's a chance to get the raw transaction hex and re-broadcast it with a few such free service over the internet?

It's a good moment to invest more, if they have the money for it.
The chances are better for the price to go up than down from this moment, so El Salvador could look very nice in a rather near future.


It's funny to see how Justin Sun is trying to copy this (if that's indeed his real account), just to gather a few crumbs of attention.

It will most probably get confirmed in the next 4 days. No need to freak out.
As said, your fee is so low the free accelerators will not handle your transaction.


The only real chance for "accelerating" is that you send to yourself the funds from bc1q4c3llfzdqs97saf5kzqr28fjjq9zshhq4tu0xy or bc1q385fvgf0mka42y7k0a66tjj55k0wl0kd9fxkkl, whichever is yours.
It may need a bit of research to spend unconfirmed coins (and I use Electrum, I don't know how this is done with blockchain.com), so it's up to you: learn to act or learn patience.


Since it's not a life-or-death situation, I don't see a good reason a miner would give up a transaction with better fees to handle yours, but you can hope...


They will returned to your wallet, like the transaction never happened. Of course, the wallet may or may not know how to handle that, but you can always go for a smarter wallet if it's needed.
Again, stop worrying for no good reason.
