1261  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Do you have opinion about Bitcorse exchange? on: July 16, 2023, 03:19:21 PM
for me do not, trust information about the exchange in other sources, except: Coinmarketcap.
Exchange being listed on Coinmarketcap is no sign of legitimacy at all. After all, they are not even best at what they do (imho that's Coingecko).


For this site that the OP mentioned, exchange or whatever it represents, it is more than obvious that it is a scam, I even think that the OP is the owner of it. It is enough for me to see the "About us" section on the site, where there is only a "staking" page??? to know that it is a cheap attempt at fraud. Although more than enough evidence has already been presented on this topic by other members.
If you check OP's post history you will see that he is doing altcoin bounty campaigns and I seriously doubt that someone who owns dodgy exchange would bother with bounty campaigns that usually bring peanuts. More plausible scenario is that some altcoin that he got via bounty campaign got listed on Bitcorse, or maybe he wants to buy some shitcoin that is only available there.

Maybe the current owner/operator of the deadsea33 account will use this thread to give an explanation.
If he wanted to continue the discussion he woulnd't lock the thread so I don't really expect him to show up here.


I wonder why he had to open a thread complaining about the false accusations only for him to go silent and lock the thread after members asking him to prove that he is the original owner of the account.
Imho no mystery there really: he didn't get the support he thought he will or he simply didn't think it through before opening complaint thread so once hard questions started showing up, he disappeared.


I always think if someone is making a complaint or counteraccusation, they should be able to give proof or reasons to help members understand that indeed the feedback left on them is unjustified.
Hah, reality is completely different as often those who complain about neutral tag end up getting negative, or even end up being connected to previously banned accounts.

Since forum is working normally for the majority of users in the last few days and to avoid redundant and repetitive posts I am locking this thread.
1264  Economy / Exchanges / Re: FTX Customer Claims Portal on: July 16, 2023, 07:26:56 AM
Do you think that through this claim portal FTX will be willing to return everyone's money ?
They may be willing to, but I don't think that will happen. If they really had enough money to give back everyone what they owe, they wouldn't even be in this situation. Imho, people should be happy if they even get back 50% of what they had there prior to collapse.


By the way, FTX as all the data, KYC details and balances of everyone. Why not just restore the site and ask everyone to withdraw, if they are serious. Asking for such details, which they already have make no sense.
FTX filed for bankruptcy so there is certain procedure set. Another thing, what would be the point of restoring the exchange and just letting everyone withdraw their money willi-nilly if they don't have enough, which they obviously don't. I mean, how would that look like, if for example they have 7 billion USD while people try to withdraw 10 billion?


I remember NewZelanad's exchange cryptopia was closed and later they also asked their customer's to fill in forms to recover their funds. Nothing happened to date incipite people filling out the details and forms  Sad
Mt.Gox people are waiting for almost a decade to get their money back so don't expect that this thing with FTX will get solved anytime soon. Hopefully not as long as Mt.Gox, but you should be prepared to wait for years.

I mean, Mashinsky still isn't in jail a year on from FTX's collapse, despite mountains of evidence of him committing outright fraud.
You mean Celsius, right? Btw, I don't know if you missed that but he has been arrested few days ago and accused by SEC for commiting a fraud, among other things.

Alex Mashinksy, co-Founder and former CEO of insolvent crypto lender Celsius was arrested on Thursday following an investigation into the company's collapse, Bloomberg reported citing a person familiar with the matter.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused the firm Mashinsky of securities fraud, in a lawsuit filed Thursday. The lending platform filed for bankruptcy last July, and crypto consortium Fahrenheit recently won a bid to acquire its assets.

Bloomberg reported earlier this month that Mashinsky and Celsius may also face a suit from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The report said that investigators at the CFTC concluded that the bankrupt lender and its CEO broke the regulators' rules by misleading investors.



Regarding Binance going down in 2024, I don't think that chances of that happening are high because market should look better in 2024 as its halvening year, meaning fomo and loads of fresh money going into Binance so they will be able to cover any dodgy thing that they are doing.

Ono što mene zanima kada vidim onaj plakat gore je šta te nije u neku ruku strah tako očito reklamirati uslugu za koju vjerujem da nije baš po slovu zakona, ako ništa drugo barem AMA zakona.
Ista stvar je i meni odmah pala na pamet kad sam vidio tu reklamu.

Cisto sumnjam prosto nevjerujem da itko od ekipe koja tamo masovno kupuje/prodaje crypto ima registranu firmu za tu djelatnost i izdaje racune tako ne znam koliko je pametno reklamirati se na takav nacin, da se ne bi privukla nezeljena pozornost odredjenih organa.

And from my experience, this has never been frowned upon by the language community. As long as the person doesn't abuse it, I don't think anyone will care about it.
Yep, that sums it up nicely.

Yeah I know about that rule, but I always thought that rule was mainly enforced when it comes to translated topics. e.g when spammers decide to share their ann on bunch of local boards.
1268  Other / Meta / Re: Is it allowed to post in English in a Local Section on: July 15, 2023, 07:52:04 AM
Btw, I think such google-translated posts in the local boards aren't allowed.
I am not sure about this as I've used Google translate to post in other local boards and had no issues whatsoever, and I remember other members using Google translate to write posts in our local board and again there was no issues.

I think that what it matetrs in the end is how often you do that; if you constantly write in local board using google translate (iirc there was a case like that in Italian board, maybe @fillippone can share more info ) some people might get annoyed (especially if you don't write proper  and simple sentences so google translated posts end up gibberish) so you may end up reported but if you only do it every once in a while, I don't think that locals will mind it.

Hi all,
Recently, someone recommended me a fresh exchange from Hong Kong.
Was it maybe someone you met online? I am asking because I honestly never heard about this exchange, and its a prety common scam tactic, scammers pretending that they are interested in person and slowly shifting conversations towards great opportunity to make money on some unknown exchange.


Ps. I know that we shouldn't use new, small and little-known exchanges, but I have my reasons for being interested in them.
I see that they are no listed on Coingecko and on CMC only as "untracked listing" which is not good sign at all. Being listed on those two sites doesn't of course mean that exchange is legit, but not being properly listed there is a huge red flag in my eyes and I would never deal with such exchanges.

I just hope that if you decide to use it nevertheless, that you will send only small amounts that you are willing to loose.

Where to invest 7k usdt

To get profit daily 30$
Nowhere, and any platform offering you such return for only $7k is a scam. $30 per day might seem small amount for you, but that's actually approximately 12% per month  which no legit business can sustain (platforms even have issues sustaining that percentage on yearly basis).

Buying bitcoin seems like a much safer (and more profitable) solution than giving your money to someone else, if you can wait.
1271  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is the Binance the next to bite the dust or FUD? on: July 14, 2023, 05:07:02 AM
I am also curious about a centralized exchange like what FTX did, basically Centralized Exchanges get money from fees right so why do they still use some of the user money  Grin Grin I mean they got a commission from every trade literally every buy and sell that happens on the exchange.
Good ol' greed, as simple as that.

Owners of these exchanges see people holding large amounts of crypto on their platform for longer period of time so then they start looking around for ways to maximize profit, which then leads to putting money to Celsius and similar shennanigans.

3% je odvratno. OK ti je jer nema boljeg, a boljeg nema jer smo budale koje su prelako došle do novca pa se razbacujemo s njim bez razmišljanja.
Anonimnost i pouzdanost kostaju. Kamo srece da je vise ovakvih kao on, jer bi to onda rusilo %.


Gori su od banaka, a banke mrzim više od ičega na svijetu.
Apropo banaka, baci pogled na PBZ tecajnu listu te razliku izmedju kupovnog i prodajnog tecaja. Npr, kupovni za dolar je 1.14 a prodajni je 1.07 sto daje razliku nesto vecu od 6% tako da su oni jos daleko od banaka.
1273  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Novosti on: July 13, 2023, 06:35:28 PM
That being said, provizije su im potpuno lihvarske. Radije ću zapaliti novac nego nekom prepustiti 3% zarade
Nikako se ne bih slozio da je edinih 3% lihvarski postotak. Covjek nudi uslugu da brzo i pouzdano otkupi ogromne kolicine kripta te je po meni tih njegovih 3% skroz ok. Da hocu anonimno prodati par sto tisuca eura kripta bez razmisljanja bih radije dao njemu tih 3% nego da se tresem i razmisljam dal ce mi netko organizirati sacekusu ili uvaliti lazne eure.

Uostalom, ni Bitcoin Store i ostale mjenjacnice (afaik) nisu imali nista manji postotak za prodaju bez dokumenata a uz to nisi ni mogao previse odjednom prodati.


Glupo nagađati - po mom mišljenju je grupa legit a ako nije volio bih čuti i to iskustvo.
Ma grupa je legit, ali uvijek ima onih koji prvi salju kripto osobi koju nikad nisu upoznali, ili padnu na prevarante koji se predstavljaju kao Edo.
1274  Economy / Service Discussion / Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky arrested on: July 13, 2023, 01:17:07 PM
Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky has been arrested today, along with SEC suing him and Celsius for securities fraud. About time I would say.

@dkbit98 ova nova Black Mirror sezona mi bas i nije nesto. Opcenito su mi prve dvije sezone bile odlicne (dok su ih jos radili britanci), a kvaliteta je imho pala nakon sto je seriju otkupio Netflix te krenuo sa stancanjem.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Novi Indiana Jones od kojeg nisam puno ocekivao te mi je svejedno bio los. Film jednostavno nema materijala za dva i pol sata, a samo trajanje filma su nabili sa hrpom akcije na koju su valjda spizidli sve te stotine milijuna dolara.

Upgrade
Solidan mali sf o liku kojem mnogo toga krene po zlu kad mu se u tijelo ugradi cip koji bi mu trebao pomoci. Inace, kad vec spominjem film koji se dotice transhumanizma, preporuka za Misakovu knjigu zanimljivog imena Smrt transhumanizmu, sloboda narodu!.

Od serija, nedavno sam nakon godinam nagovaranja prijatelja i familije popustio i pogledao The Leftovers, seriju zanimljive premise o tome sto bi se dogodilo da odjednom nestane 2% ukupnog stanovnista Zemlje. Prve dvije sezone su mi bile jako dobre, ali onda u trecoj sezoni serija ode u neke cudne vode koje mi se nisu previse svidjele. Unatoc tome, kvalitetna dramska serija za preporuku.

According to them in their official website WEE BULL trading bot is under Apex crypto LLC.
Are we even sure that's the website OP is talking about? I am asking because the first result I got when I googled "WEBULL TRADING BOTS" is Webull Trading Bots, which is a completely different website from the one you shared.

Then again, this one doesn't look any more legit than the one you shared, with fake rewevies and promise of profit.

LOL.Majority of the DEXs only support top 50 currencies, some just the top 10. If you're referring to wrapped tokens are shitcoins, they're completely liquid and bridgeable with no slippage from the layer 2 chain, to ethereum or even the Bitclin blockchain.
Since dkbit98 is essentially a bitcoin maxi, everything else is shitcoin including all those "top ones" (except maybe Monero?) no matter how liquid they are, hence his stance.

1278  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shuting down all bitcoin ATMs illegally operating in Uk on: July 13, 2023, 05:23:38 AM
Even in a developing country like mine, it would not be feasible to install a BATM without facing legal consequences.
Who says that operators of those BATM won't have to face legal consequences?


And this negligence to follow the basic rules in operating is what pushes me to side the government this time, much as I hate to admit it. The least you could do is to follow legislations and get a license to actually operate within legal grounds to not only be on the good side of the law, but to also as much as possible give your users the peace of mind they deserve.
Food for thought: how come no BATM operator in UK managed to get approved by FCA as of yet, while operators in other countries have no issues whatsoever? Are UK operators completely incompetent, or FCA regulation is made on purpose so strict so no one can meet their demands? In FCA eyes, Bitcoin is mainly used by criminals so no wonder that they made it as hard as possible to operate ATM.

And no, I don't think that this gives Bitcoin a bad name, but instead makes UK look very crypto unfriendly.


This is not a crackdown on ALL ATMs..... it is a crackdown on illegal (SCAM) operators that are not operating under the rule of the law
Since no operater is registered with FCA, it's essentially crackdown on all BATM in UK.



Its interesting to see that CoinATM Radar lists 10 BATM available in UK at the moment. Maybe FCA is using that website to track them.
1279  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shuting down all bitcoin ATMs illegally operating in Uk on: July 12, 2023, 08:21:29 PM
After all, Bitcoin ATM is not a clandestine machine designed for illicit activities.
Tell that to the FCA. Do you think that its a coincendence that no BATM operator managed to get registered with FCA as of yet?


Unfortunately, these actions by a few bad actors are detrimental to the genuine adoption of Bitcoin, which is disheartening.
To be honest, I think that much bigger problem here is FCA than those BATM operators because they think that the sole purpose of those ATM is to launder the money. With such hostile view at Bitcoin ATMs and crypto in general, no wonder that no operator managed to get licensed by them.

It looks like Binance is currently pushing Source of Wealth Declarations in several European countries.
So far I haven't gotten anything so I guess Croatia is not included yet, but since they started enforcing this in some EU countries its just a matter of time when it becomes mandatory for users in all EU countries.


In addition, there have been rumours in Germany for some time that Binance has passed on transaction histories and user data to the authorities on a large scale (but there is no direct source for this). However, the authorities have announced in the Bitcoin.de court case in which 4000 data sets were handed to the NRW authorities, that other exchanges could follow soon. In this case, suspicion falls on Binance again.
Even if its just a rumour, sooner or later it will become reality as that will be the only way Binance will get license to operate in EU.
