There are several groups of people will buy BTC when it reaches $100k and beyond:

1st group are those who are still in denial and that BItcoin is here to stay, they think of it as a ponzi etc but once we reach that price, many will change their opinion, like it happened in the past.

2nd group are those who think current price is too high and are waiting for BTC to drop more, but in reality they are really afraid to buy during bear and instead they will invest at the peak of bull when FOMO is the strongest. I know load of those who didn't want to buy from me when I had to sell some BTC @~10k, but where asking to buy once we reach $50k. 

3rd group of people are those who are doing DCA on the regular basis and will keep buying BTC no matter the price. I fall into this group as I've been doing DCA for a couple of years now and my plan is to continue doing so when/if bitcoin reaches that barrier since it proved to be a very effective investment method, 

I think that its pretty obvious he made that bullshit story for the sole purpose of merit fishing. He though that members will feel sorry for him losing hundreds of bitcoins and that they will sen few merits his way to ease that pain.

Luckily, members got used to recognize bs stories in Beginners & Help section so such obvious merit farmers are not as successful as they used to be.

Dear God please no. Like I am not struggling enough with Dota, now we may get more of another thing that I have no clue about. I sure hope you and cryptofrka don';t plan to attend more of those "exotic" sports in the future.

Tbh, I am surprised that this hasn't happened earlier (or maybe it did?) since he doesn't ask for signed message like other lenders are doing, which I thought is a standard here.

What's weird to me in all this is that even after this has happened, he continues to give loans without taking extra measures so something like this doesn't happen again. He can of course do his business as he sees fit, but imo that's just unnecessary risk.

Have you contacted the support regarding this issue, that you keep getting "false" code, and if yes what did they say?


If you want to go that route, you will have to find a lawyer in Estonia as that's where their company is incorporated. Other than that, I would simply try to pressure them over social media and hope for the best.



Problem is, when you type in Google "is Freewallet good/secure wallet" (that's probably what majority of people write), you won't get bad reviews, and that's why many end up using them. What I am surprised though is the fact that OP used custodial wallet for such a huge amount of money.


That just proves that even Elon thought that Freewallet is legit.

Realno gledjauci, merit novim clanovima treba samo da bi imali sansu uci u signature kampanju ali izgleda da cak i placanje za postanje malo koga zanima sa nasih prostora. Standard na ovim prostorima je relativno ok tako da oni koji i inace nemaju naviku pisanja na forumima nece imati volju farmati merit pola godine da bi poceli zaradjivati neke novce.

E sad, da je situacija na forumu takva da su sve kampanje placale kao CM (cca prosjecna placa u Hrvatskoj), onda bi mozda domaca ekipa stvarno imala neki incentive da izgrinda taj acc, kao sto rade mnogi clanovi iz zemalja treceg svijeta jer i u najlosije placenoj kampanji oni zarade prosjecnu mjesecnu placu.



To je u biti sasvim normalno ponasanje na forumu, i ja sam na hrpi foruma napravio isto: registrirao se, pitao sto me zanima te nestao nakon toga i nikad se ne vratio.  

Well, you are the one who asked why use centralized exchanges and I told you that there is a certain group of people (mainly pro traders) who simply have no options if they want to do their job as efficiently as possible.

Hopefully that changes in the future and DEX will be able to offer to those type of users everything CEX can, but until then I don't see them losing popularity.

Jedan od communitya koji nemaju svoj lokalni board (Banglades ili Pakistan, ne sjecam se vise jer sam to vidio prosle godine) je imao financijske nagrade za najaktivnije ili najbolje postere unutar communitya, mislim na mjesecnoj bazi. Njima doduse trebaju brojevi jer pokusavaju dobiti svoj lokalni board pa su valjda na taj nacin pokusavali animirati board.

Ne predlazem da mi to napravimo jer mislim da nema smisla ( a i znamo tko bi svaki mjesec pokupio nagradu za najaktivnijeg clana  ) ali eto sam sam htio podijeliti na koje nacine ostali pokusavaju povecati aktivnost.

For me forum has been working without any issues whole day today, both on my computer and mobile phone and on both mobile network and fiber and its really weird that some are stilll having so many issues while some like me not. Anyway, hopefully it gets resolved soon as I know how annoying this situation is.

The only problem I have is with telegram notification bot as I am not getting notifications at all since last night.

Because active traders don't really have other options. Then again, traders don't use centralized exchange as their cold storage and instead they have only a smaller part of their portfolio there and they usually understand the risks involved while that's not the case with an average crypto enthusiast and that's where problems start.



Decentralized exchanges simply don't have enough liquidity and certain tools (like cross leverage) needed for speculators so they are not suitable for all users.

Bas gledam i da u pravu si, taj text je copy/paste.

@Lunorael kad vec kopiras vijesti (nemam nista protiv toga btw, dapace samo nastavi) trebao bi i sherati source. Osim sto je fer spomenuti izvor, zastiti ces se od prijava za plagijarizam. Ne vjerujem da ce te itko od nas tu prijaviti, ali nikad ne znas tko sve prati ovo. Cak i ako si ti iza tog BitBalkan kanala, opet je pametno podjeliti link jer su ljudi gubili accounte ovdje i za manje stvari.

Totalno si u pravu ovo za altcoin sekciju jer to je dio kripto scene na kojoj se stalno neki kurac dogadja i koja u biti generira daleko najvise prometa na ostalim popularnim kanalima tipa Twitter i Telegram. E sad, problem je u tome sto bitcointalk kao forum te forumasi opcenito nisu uopce otvoreni za altcoine (sami kaos na altcon sekciji sve govori) tako da se tu gubi prilika privuci nove korisnike.

Ja osobno takodjer nisam ljubitelj altcoina (trenutno imam samo nesto ETH) niti pratim tu scenu ali ne idem u krajnost kao mnogi utjecajni clanovi ovdje tvrdeci da su svi altcoini shitcoini jer sa sa takvim stavom samo tjera ekipa sa foruma a rezultate tog pristupa mozemo vidjeti i sami.

Hm, I spent on the forum more time than usual yesterday and I had no issues whatsover but this morning it was really bad, I was barely able to leave a post. Anyway, it was annoying af.

I don't know if it's sorted for others, but for me everything is back to normal. Or its maybe only temporary improvement as some mentioned it happened to them.

Edit: it was only temporary improvement as at the moment I clicked to share this post, it started lagging again.

Is anyone else having the same issue for the last hour or so? All the other pages are opening very fast but for some reason bitcointalk is extremely slow to the point of being barely usable.

Exactly.

So, at the beginning of the year I would like to see ranks of all members who wrote at leats one post during the last year, across local board. It is fairly easy to do if when making it for my own local board as we don't have that many active users and I know all of their ranks by heart, but in the case of making it across all local boards, this manul checking approach would take me too much time.


Yeah I will check with him, thnx.

Daniel91 is OP of our local thread where members can submit their good undermerited/unmerited posts and that thread has been pretty inactive for quite some time.

I think that in the last six months or so we had maybe 5-6 submissions and that's what he (probably) meant when he said that no one needs/wants merit anymore in our local board anymore as thread used to be way more active 3-4 years ago when me and other members were going through ranks. Its sort of unwritten rule in that topic not to submit your posts once you reach Legendary rank and since majority of us reached that and we don't have many new members, thread became inactive.

You haven't learned much since you just publically admitted that you are ban evading whihc is against forum rules. Fyi, once you get banned here, that ban is applied for all your future accounts (If you get caught that is).


No, you can't send merit once banned. At least you shoulnd't be able to (I never personally tested that ).

Considering the quality of our members and lack of spam and shitposts, I think that our merit/post ratio is finally where it should be, after years of struggling and being seriously undermerited.


Yeah, that is caused by lack of new members who are willing to go through ranks. Majority of new members come, leave few posts and then disappear until they have another questions.

This just gave me an idea to make another chart with forum ranks across local boards, but I am not sure how feasible that would be. Not sure that it would make sense to make it every month, but I think I might include it in the yearly overview, like I am doing for Croatian local board.

Now I just have to figure out from where to pull that data so I can actually make a chart. @DdmrDdmr (or anyone else) do you maybe have some idea?

Crypto scena je toliko narasla da je nažalost bitcointalk postao prilično irelevantan, ništa bitno u crypto svijetu ne najavljuje ili počinje ovdje (za razliku od ranih dana) tako da je to još jedan faktor zašto ekipa radije visi na recimo Twitteru gdje je aktivan skoro svatko tko imalo nešto znači na kripto sceni dok su isti ti davnih dana napustili bitcointalk.


Ja poznajem nekoliko bitcointalk veterana koje sam nagovarao da se ponovno aktiviraju, te je njihov odgovor uglavnom u stilu da izbjegavaju bitcointalk jer je po njihovom mišljenju postao jedan veliki signature campaign circlejerk + nisu fanovi Bitcoin maximalism spike koja ovdje prevladava.

Generalno kad pogledaš, većina novih članova na forumu dolazi iz zemalja trećeg svijeta gdje je prosječna mjesečna plaća manja od iznosa kojeg se može zaraditi u signature kampanji, a članovima sa ovih prostora ni te signature kampanje u biti nisu dovoljan dobar razlog da budu aktivni na forumu. Pojave se, postave par pitanja te odu dalje, što je u biti standardno ponašanje na svim forumima.

Mislim da bi se najlakše povećala aktivnost da se pokrenu neke zanimljive teme, kao što su neki nedavno predlagali. Uostalom, na portugalskom boardu nema ništa više aktivnih članova pa svejedno imaju 3 puta više postova što znači da se može, samo treba naći dobrih tema.

Let's be honest, many people don't even know how to write properly in their own native language (or maybe they simply don't ncare to write properly) so when they put that text in Google translate, of course there will be all kind of mistakes. But if you write proper sentences without idioms and expressions native to your own langauge, Google will do a pretty decent job.

I heard from some people that ChatGPT does even better job at translating than Google but I haven't tested its translation capablities yet.
