Poslje skoro desetljaća rada sa Indijcima, ne mogu. Cheesy
Haha radio sam i ja dosta sa njima tako da te u potpunosti razumijem, ali film je skroz dobar i normalan.  Cheesy


Primjetio sam da dosta voliš ove stare klasike od prije 50-60 godina. Nisam im nikada dao šansu a možda bi trebao. Ipak je tad bilo potrebno znanja i vještina da se napravi film a ne ko danas gdje treba zeleno platno i i uski kostimi na super junacima.
Kad kazes da je film star 50 godina na prvu zvuci puno, ali to je u biti film snimljen 70tih sto je po meni ujedno i najbolje filmsko razdoblje uopce tako da ako das sansu, stvarno mozes naci hrpu odlicnih filmova. Ja opcenito ne gledam kad je film snimljen, ni iz koje je zemlje jer se dobri filmovi snimaju svugdje i u svako doba. Samo mi je bitno da nije mjuzikl jer to je jedini zanr koji ne mogu podnijeti.


Izlazi The Vikings film ili The Last Kingdom? 
The Last Kingdom.

I thought I've seen all kind of scam attempts, but this is something new. Worst of all, I have no doubts that some will actually fall for this and enter their own seed phrase into this "software".

Anyway, flag supported and scammer tagged.

Slabo gledam, ništa mi nije privuklo pažnju a većina novih filmova je teško sranje, propaganda, prediktivno programiranje ili ispiranje mozga.
Onda pogledas nesto staro a dobro. Od ovih gore spomenutih, ja bi ti prvo preporucio The Battle of Algiers (ako vec nisi ranije gledao), remek djelo o borbi Alziraca za nezavisnost od Francuske, sniman u skoro dokumentaristickom stilu te je dosta popularan kod raznoraznih gerilskih skupina.


Jeste li možda gledali seriju The Last Kingdom (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4179452/) i mislite da je dobra ili ne?
The Last Kingdom je dobra serija te ako ti se svidjaju Vikinzi te takva tematika opcenito, onda bi trebalo i ovo a dobra stvar je sto serija postaje bolja kroz sezone (meni su recimo Vikinzi dosta pali zadnje 2 sezone tako da nisam ni odgledao seriju do kraja). Vidis, nisam uopce imao pojma da izlazi i film 14.4 tako da ako pocnes danas gledati jednu epiozodu dnevno, skoro stignes na vrijeme sve odgledati do filma.  Grin

I also have the desire to get the benefits of Bitcoin and other crypto currency. but as a newbie, I still have this fear that I may not be able to withstand the risk involved. Can anyone advice me on this?
Even though everyone here believes that Bitcoin is not going anywhere and that it will be worth much more than it is worth now, it is still a fact that its a high risk investment.

It is normal to be afraid to be afraid of something that you don't know much about so what you can do is educate yourself about all the pros and cons and if you are still afraid and think that you can't handle the volatility and being responsible for safety of your money, better stay away from it.

After Bybit announcing launch of their debit card the other day, now Gate decided to do the same and  issue their Visa debit card, initially for users in EEA countries. The more the merrier I guess.

Gate Group, the parent company behind crypto exchange Gate.io, plans to launch a Gate Visa crypto debit card through its Lithuana-based company, Gate Global UAB.

A waitlist and registration process is open for users in the European Economic Area, according to a statement from Gate.

Visa's head of crypto, Cuy Sheffield, noted that the payments giant "wants to serve as the bridge between the crypto ecosystem and our global network of merchants and financial institutions.

Its been said several times in this thread that you shouldn't count on getting any sort of response (or criteria needed) until they actually decide to give you local board as others (e.g Nigerians) didn't get a single response in 2 years, until theymos actually decided that its time.
1889  Local / Off-topic (Hrvatski) / Re: Kutak za kulturni trenutak (filmovi, serije, knjige etc) on: March 09, 2023, 08:58:27 AM
Jel to niko više ne gleda filmove ovdje? Smiley
Ma naravno da se gleda, nego mi se ne da pisati za svaki film posebno nego kad se nakupi onda ovdje podijelim. A sto se tice onog The Peanut Butter Falcon, pogledao sam ga svojevremeno i slazem se, dobar film.

U zadnja 2 tjedna se pogledalo dosta toga, i to kombinacija ponovnih gledanja nekih meni odlicnih filmova ( The Battle of Algiers, Network, Hell or High Water) te poneko prvo gledanje.
The Lunchbox-inace se grozim Indijskih filmova jer uglavnom traju 3 sata i imaju hrpu plesa i pjevanja ali ovo je skroz normalna i klasicna romanticna drama dusu dala za pogledat sa lijepsom polovicom.
Missing- zenskoj nestane mama te ju ona trazi koristeci online toolove. Ok film (ako vam suspension of disbelief nije problem) i svojevrsna verzija par godina ranije snimljenog Searching koji je ujedno i bolji film.
Happy-Go-Lucky- par tjedana u zivotu jedne optimisticne i vedre osobe, samo ime filma ju savrseno opisuje. Uglavnom, jako dobro je ovo, stari majstor Mike Leigh rijetko kada napravi los film.
Knock at the Cabin- zanimljiva ideja ali ne toliko dobra realizacija, sto je vec postao standard za Shyamalana. Unatoc tome, gledljivo.
1890  Economy / Economics / Re: Twitter becoming Worlds biggest Financial Institution? on: March 08, 2023, 09:29:26 PM
Meta had big plans to connect the whole world within an unique payment system, if Twitter tries to do something similar, I have no doubt the same regulators will come after Elon Musk to stop him short and not allowing social networks to compete against banks.  Roll Eyes
I don't think that his plan would be to compete with banks, but rather compete with PayPal and similar services, like how WeChat in China is doing. WeChat users can add credit cards/bank accounts, and then use app to pay in stores or simply send money to another WeChat user, while in that same app you can play games, use it for video calls, messaging etc so I guess he mighty try to do something similar with Twitter too. He even said in a tweet that buying Tweeter shortened the development of "everything app" by 4-5 years.



How will the platform be better than PayPal unless it provides any financial services based on the blockchain?
Tbh, PayPal is crap. We all used it years ago just because it was the only option, but nowadays there are so many better ways to send/receive money and PayPal is the last one I would use now.

I'm not sure what the minimum is for something to be considered plagiarism, but 73% plagiarized content to make a useless post (probably hunting for merit) seems like a bad decision.
I don't know about the minimum needed, but here is the 100% word for word plagiarized post from Wirex blog so there should be no doubt anymore what's going on here.


Older people are notoriously a lot more risk-averse, and with exposure to this kind of material, they’ll probably be pretty easily influenced and put off using crypto altogether. Similarly, given that older generations often place more trust in traditional financial institutions that’ve been using for years, they’re likely to be more sceptical of any alternative financial institutions, currencies or forms of investments.

Our research clearly shows some of their major concerns; namely volatility, safety, cost, and a lack of knowledge on how to use it. Seemingly, older age groups tended to have more issues surrounding security

1892  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is the Binance the next to bite the dust or FUD? on: March 08, 2023, 04:10:14 PM
Binance collapsing will indeed cause a massive damage to the industry which will, in turn, pull the prices considerably down. But if this is what it takes for people to finally realize that centralized exchanges are a thing to avoid and are even antithesis to Bitcoin itself; if this is what it takes for people to finally embrace self-custody fully, I guess I will accept it.
True, in that case market would crash and burn but Binance going down wouldn't drastically change how people perceive crypto exchanges, meaning they would still think of them as banks. One would think that after Mt.Gox fail we would have loads of highly popular decentralized exchanges like Bisq, while reality is diametrically opposite and centralized exchanges keep growing and spreading, with some of them like Kraken even announced plans to launch a bank.

Its been proven time after time that majority of people prefer sense of convenience and false security over anything else and if not with Binance, they would find it with Coinbase or any other popular centralized exchange and all the bad stuff would be soon forgotten.

Have you managed to figure out when exactly this alleged change of hands actually happened?

From what I can see, he stopped writing in Russian basically 2 weeks after creation of account as I can't see posts written in Russian after April 1st, and then there is a slight change in August when he reached Full Member rank and started applying for signature campaigns and started being active in more boards.
1894  Economy / Economics / Re: Twitter becoming Worlds biggest Financial Institution? on: March 08, 2023, 01:45:40 PM
On his interview last year, he said that he slowly shifted his focus from crypto to AI, and stated that blockchain based twitter isn't possible.
Blockchain based Twitter doesn't make much sense anyway, but Twitter using crypto for payments is something entirely different. Since we are talking about Elon Musk here, who knows what he will come up next, and what kind of bold clam he will make.


Well, it's known that he created PayPal, so he would probably do something similar and integrate it with Twitter.
That's one of the common myths, that he created PayPal while in fact his company merged with another one that made Paypal (Coinfinity) and after Elon was removed as CEO of that new company, they renamed themselves to PayPal and sold it to Ebay the next year.

His plans with Twitter is probably to make something similar to Wechat, which is a very popular app in China that is used for many things (including payments) and I think he even said something like that in the past.


1895  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Another sim swap scam on: March 08, 2023, 01:13:40 PM
Sim swap attack is not new but people are still getting scammed because of it. See Jared Ferguson that filed a lawsuit against Coinbase, likely he can not win. Coinbase encourage their customers to use 2FA app.
First and foremost he should blame himself for that because who in the right mind stores 90% of the life savings on the exchange and 2nd, how exactly is that Coinbase fault that he got sim swapped? Anyway, good luck to him with the lawsuit.


You can see a report recently that said that over 89% of US are using centralized platforms like banks and exchanges for their crypto holdings? People are people, they do not want to learn until they are scammed, or their account or wallet is hacked.
I am not surprised at all to see that majority haven't learned anything from what happened to others and many don't learn even after they lose the money themselves. I know some people that lost money on both Celsius and FTX and they still keep large amount of money on Binance, thinking that they are too big to fail.
1896  Economy / Economics / Re: Americans go to Mexico for medicals to cut costs. on: March 08, 2023, 10:30:11 AM
I thought all Americans have access to cheap and quality medical services until I read that over one million Americans go on medical tourism in Mexico yearly.
Americans don't have universal health care but even if they did, that doesn't mean that certain percentage of wouldn't go to Mexico or other cheaper countries and same thing happens all over the world.

For example, here in Croatia we have decent universal health care but if you want to do something faster and can't wait, you go to private clinics and then some people go to neighbouring countries like Serbia that have lower standard so its cheaper to do certain stuff there like teeth implants, plastic surgeries, eye related procedures etc. And in the same way people from more developed countries come to Croatia to do their medical procedures because we are cheaper than Austria/Switzerland etc but still good.

1897  Other / Meta / Re: How can I increase my merit? on: March 08, 2023, 09:56:36 AM

And when you post a new topic, let it be educative and have meaning rather than asking questions that will only fetch merits to good posts underneath.
I disagree with this, that you should only make a new topic when you want to educate others and not when you want to ask question and its one of the common misconception that cause newbies getting into troubles, thinking that they have to be knowledgeable in order to get merit so they plagiarize someone else's content.

Its perfectly normal thing to come to a forum asking for help with something (or simply wanting to learn more) and sometimes this can be more worthwhile than a generic newbie guide we often see in Beginners & Help board that is nothing but a merit fishing.

No one  knows what future brings, but that seems unlikely to me because if you can easily recover your lost bitcoin without seed/private key, what would stop you from stealing someone else's bitcoin?
1899  Economy / Speculation / Re: Maybe it's time for BTC to take off and reach the $100K on: March 08, 2023, 09:43:22 AM
All this wait, same price for months, sounds like the calm before the storm.
How do you mean "same price for months" when just 2 months ago bitcoin was 18-17k, then it went up 50% and now its in small correction.


Maybe it's time for BTC to take off and reach the $100K. Just saying. This price is a joke for BTC's potential. Of course all we can do is hope. But it makes me wonder why it's not happening yet. Right now BTC is cheap as peanuts.
I don't think that its realistic to expect new ATH before the halvening, and maybe not even then. Keep in mind that situation is quite different compared to previous cycles, with economy crisis, war in Ukraine etc and general instability in the world. Instead wasting time thinking why bitcoin hasn't pumped, its much better to use this to to accumulate as much as possible.
1900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I managed to convince my senior dad to invest in BTC on: March 07, 2023, 05:13:33 PM

Did you manage to convince your dads or other older people in your family to buy BTC?
Nope, I never tried nor I will do. I saw some bad examples around me of friends telling their family members that ended up bad so that was enough for me not to go that road. If anything, I managed to talk out few family members from investing because some of them simply couldn't afford it, while others wouldn't be able to handle the bear market and are prone to panic.

Anyway, I hope your dad fully understands the volatile nature of bitcoin and that it may take some time before he is in profit.
