Bitcoin je više od tehnologije: Bitcoin je društveni fenomen. To je prvi masovni društveni pokret u povijesti koji ne predlaže nikakvo mišljenje osim vlastite vrijednosti.

Ljudi koji se ne slažu jedni s drugima o ničemu, mogu se složiti oko Bitcoina. To je ono što daje Bitcoinu vrijednost: svi žele Bitcoin bez obzira na mišljenje o bilo čemu drugom.Upravo ta činjenica čini Bitcoin otpornim na financijsku cenzuru. Ljudi sa potpuno suprotnih krajeva političkog spektra su došli do Bitcoina jer se nisu sviđali velikim bankama koje su zatvorile njihove račune te ih isključile iz financijskog sustava.

Zastrašujuće je da banke mogu nametnuti svoj nepisani zakon bez ikakve odgovornosti i mogućnosti žalbe, zatvaranjem računa ljudima. Bitcoin tome staje na kraj.

Ja imam iskustvo življenja bez bankovnog računa. Jako je teško: ne možeš normalno koristiti novac i primoran si  propustiti mnogo pogodnosti i prilika. To te može osiromašiti, te držati u siromaštvu. Bitcoin oduzima moć neodgovornim korporacijama da unište ljudima život samo zato što im se ne sviđaju.

Mogu vam se ne sviđati, možete se ne slagati sa mnom, možete me osuditi, možete čak odlučiti mrziti me, ali se slažemo da Bitcoin ima vrijednost; I sam Bitcoin je apsolutno nepristran između nas. To je ono što Bitcoinu daje moć i na taj način Bitcoin osnažuje svakoga tko ga želi koristiti. Ako se odlučim mrziti te, mi se i  možemo složiti oko Bitcoina, te ne možemo jedan drugome diktirati što da radimo sa Bitcoinom.

Sloboda koju Bitcoin pruža je privukla mnogo ljudi. To je dalo vrijednost Bitcoinu, te zauzvrat, vrijednost Bitcoina je privukla još više ljudi, dajući mu još veću vrijednost. Dakle, njegova vrijednost dolazi iz moći društvenog fenomena, a ne direktno iz genijalne tehnologije koja omogućuje taj društveni fenomen.

---

Bitcoin tehnologija je laka za kopiranje ali Bitcoin kao društveni fenomen je nemoguće kopirati. On postoji zato što se svi slažu oko Bitcoina. Ljudi diljem svijeta, svih rasa i nacionalnosti, vjera, političkog mišljenja, svi se slažu oko Bitcoina. Njihovo slaganje ili neslaganje o svemu ostalom je nebitno za Bitcoin.

Zato postoji samo jedan Bitcoin.

I zato ga ljudi koji mrze Bitcoin pokušavaju  razdvojiti. Ako postoji mnogo verzija Bitcoina, onda se ljudi više ne slažu oko Bitcoina: Ovo je moj Bitcoin, ono je tvoj Bitcoin a ono je Bitcoin nekog trećeg. To slaganje koje sam upravo opisao je raskinuto. Dugoročno, ako se Bitcoin razdijeli na mnogo Bitcoina, njegova vrijednost se neće podijeliti: Njegova vrijednost će biti nula, biti će bezvrijedan. Bitcoin ima vrijednost zato što se svi slažu oko njega. Ako postoji više Bitcoina, onda ni jedan nema vrijednost zato što se oko ni jednog ne slažu svi.

Srećom, Bitcoin je otporan na tu vrstu napada. Ja lako mogu napraviti svoj fork Bitcoina, te objaviti svijetu da je to novi Bitcoin. Vi će te se na to samo nasmijati, i nastaviti koristiti originalni Bitcoin. Ispada da je pokušaj raskida svačijeg slaganja kao pokušaj zaustavljanja  jurećeg vlaka tako da staneš ispred njega. Ljudi koji to rade, namjerno sebe isključuju od "svih". Njihovi lažni "Bitcoini" bivaju uništeni i zaboravljeni, jer svi ostali nastavljaju koristiti Bitcoin.

Iz tog razloga  većina tih lažnih "Bitcoin" forkova brzo padne u zaborav. Jedini koji ostanu sa beznačajno malim tržišnim udjelom su oni koji su podržani od bogatih ljudi koji imaju dovoljno novca da si mogu priuštiti rizik manipulacije tržištem te organiziranje propagande da prevare ljude da je njihov lažni “Bitcoin” pravi Bitcoin.

---

Bilo bi teško napasti Bitcoin samo sa bogatstvom. Bitcoin i njegova vrijednost je podržana sa previše ljudi, bogatih i siromašnih. Bogati manipulator tržištem koji podrži fork lažnog "Bitcoina" može doći do kratkotrajnog profita, posebno kroz pump-and-dump tržišne manipulacije. Ali dugoročno, on će najvjerojatnije izgubiti mnogo novca: Njegov lažni Bitcoin se natječe sa Bitcoinom, koji je kolektivno podržan ekonomskim resursima previše ljudi iz svih krajeva svijeta, kako bogatih tako i siromašnih.

Prijevara postaje opasna kada se lažni "Bitcoin" promovira sa lukavom propagandom kako bi zavarao ljude da je riječ o pravom Bitcoinu.

---

Početnici i ljudi koji nisu nikad  koristili Bitcoin se mogu čuditi zašto se Bitcoineri ljute oko tih lažnih "Bitcoin" forkova.

Dio tog bijesa je principijelan. Postoje ljudi koji duboko vjeruju u Bitcoin načela financijske slobode. Neki od njih su tim načelima posvetili svoje karijere, svoju strast-posvetili su Bitcoinu svoj život. Naravno, oni će biti gnjevni kad vide da je Bitcoin napadnut lažljivcima i prevarantima koji promoviraju lažni "Bitcoin".

Šire gledano, mnogi ljudi su moralno ogorčeni kada vide laži, prevare, te krađu identiteta. Naravno, ljudi se naljute na kriminalce.

Ali postoji još jedan razlog: Ako imate Bitcoin, bilo 1000 BTC ili  samo nekoliko dragocjenih  satoshija, napad na Bitcoin je napad na vaš novčanik. Možete mariti ili ne mariti za Bitcoin načela ali će te braniti ta načela  da obranite vrijednost svog novca.

Dio genijalnosti Bitcoina je u tome da usmjeri pohlepu i sebičnost prema općem dobru: Ako imate Bitcoin, htjeti će te zaštititi svoju imovinu, tako da se morate suprotstaviti onima koji je pokušavaju obezvrijediti. U protivnom, riskirate izgubiti svoju ušteđevinu.

Svatko tko ima Bitcoin, ima poticaj da ga  zaštiti. Ako imate Bitcoin, činite svijet boljim mjestom kad branite vrijednost svog novca. Ne možete ne štititi Bitcoin, ako želite zaštititi vlastiti novac. Te ako imate Bitcoin, onda napad na Bitcoin nije samo napad protiv neke idealističke teorije; To je financijski napad na vas, osobno! Naravno, trebali biste biti ljuti zbog toga.

Bez obzira jeste li sebični ili altrustični, bez obzira da li želite svijet učiniti boljim mjestom ili ne, pozivam vas da se okupite iza Bitcoina te se suprotstavite prevarantima koji prave lažne "Bitcoine". Učinite to iz plemenitih pobuda. Ili samo zbog toga da zaštitite vlastiti novac. Ako ništa drugo, bilo bi glupo ignorirati prevarante koji pokušavaju uništiti vrijednost vašeg novca. Stojeći zajedno, možemo ih zaustaviti; Razotkriti njihove laži, uništiti njihovu prevarantsku propagandu te osigurati da novi sudionici na tržištu te javnost znaju : Postoji samo jedan Bitcoin, tvoj Bitcoin, koji ima vrijednost jer je svačiji Bitcoin.

Eto ja, kad se vec nitko ne javlja 

Prvo jedan scamerski exchange koji nudi preveliki profit na stejkanje, shillaju svoj thread, imaju jednako tako scamerske IEO na svom launchpadu. Na kraju ispada da je taj njihov fejkani volumen na CMC od 2.4 milijarde najmanje problem.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5227706.0

I jos jedan scammerski projekt, Addmore. Fake team, kopirani sadrzaj. Uglavnom klasicni scam
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5227258.msg53877364#msg53877364

They claim that they list projects after some kind of verification, but if you check their Discord and Telegram, you will see that they are advertising scams like MalwareChain, QUISH Coin and Addmore. If they spent a second to check OP of those threads, they would see that they are all tagged for scam behaviour.
So they are not just spamming around and advertising their discord/telegram groups, they are actively advertising scams.

For me, without a doubt, brick&mortar casino will always be way more fun. I don't say that online gambling doesn't have it's perks, and I regularly gamble online, but whenever I can, i prefer going to physical casino, i really like the atmosphere there.
When i was a bit younger, before i got married, i often end up in casino with friends after night out, for us it was kinda after party, as after everything closes, and you still don't feel like going home, casino is the place to be. You have few drinks, play some games, interact with other people etc, there is always something going on there.

Nowadays, I usually go maybe once per week. There is casino very close to the cinema where i usually go, so it's kinda habit for me to go there after watching a movie, have a drink or two, and just play something casually, usually slot machines.
Another thing; contrary to popular belief, you don't need a lot of money to have fun in physical casino. At least you don't if you see gambling as fun, and not a way to sort your financial issues.

Pa ne treba ti nikakav specijalni program za ovo, dovoljan je obicni reverse image search. U ovom  Set protokol slucaju Yandex bez problema detektira gdje su koristene te slike. 5 od 6  ovih "tradera" sa slike koju je sherao marlboroza  je fake. Jedini koji je kao stvarni team member je onaj drugi bradonja sa slike koji ima kapu, Anthony Sassano, on im je kao Product Marketing Manager.  Zanimljivo, jedino su za njega stavili da je u minusu .
Yandex mi generalno najbolje funckionira za te potrebe, daje najbolje rezultate i najcesce ga koristim u scam bustanju.

Yep, their practices are shady af, I don't know any legit exchange that promises that kind of return. This can only run until they have influx of new users.
But obviously they don't care much about their reputation, as even after getting busted for hiring bumping services, they go on. Their announcement thread consist of a brand new accounts asking some silly questions, pretending that they are interested in the exchange. Same goes for that IEO, Liberty159.

2 new announcement threads that started with thread bumping today. One of them is exchange and another one is IEO that is being hosted by that same exchange. All accounts are of course newbie rank, and are also working for some time on another announcement thread, Arc Iris..

Folgory Exchange - Investment - Mining Cloud becoming bank
Liberty159 - iEO LBY and profit 100% with folgory

Beside hiring bumping service,there are few other issues with those projects, that i mentioned in this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5227706.0

What happened:  Folgory exchange is offering suspiciously high profit (72% for 12 months) and on top of that there are few other dodgy things :

-Huge reported volume according to CMC, 2.4 billion USD while in the same time there is no activity in their social media channels, except twitter. They have discord channel, but there is like 100 people there, and no one communicating at all.

-Paying Ann thread bumping services. They have old Ann thread made in 2019, that was also spammed with those fake conversations, but those accounts got tagged, so they decided to make new Ann and they continued the same practice. Accounts that started thread bumping are active on another thread made by them, Liberty159, and on one more dodgy project that is also using same services, Arc Iris. Coincidence? I think not.

Proof of 72% profit in 12 months confirmed by them. I honestly doubt that can be sustainable, and legit

.



Today they made another Ann thread for IEO on their platform, Liberty159. What is interesting about that IEO is that they promise 100% profit to every investor. They claim that they will buy out all tokens for 2x price, compared to IEO price. Another weird things about Liberty159 is that they don't have whitepaper, no social media presence except Telegram group with 5 members, and website with barely any info at all. And yet they promise 100% profit.

tl;dr
Stay away from this if you don't want to loose money.

No need to compare him to anyone really. As i said, he has everything needed to be among best big guys ever, but only if  he has more luck with injuries.Talent is there, no questions about it, but what i question is his health in the long run.


No one questions his playmaking abilities, but it makes it much harder for players in paint when guards can focus on them, while Simmons is alone at 3pts line, completely uncontested. I often saw defenders completely ignoring him. Isn't it weird that Embiid is more comfortable at shooting than Simmons? Lack of spacing is still an issue, as it was before, in previous years.


Of course he didn't do it alone, but he was their best player in those 7 games against Raptors. Regarding Simmons, i expected that this year he will start shooting those damn threes, but as we can see, it's not really happening. What Simmons need is a team with more shooters around him, then he would show his full potential, but 76s management decided to go different way. Imho, they overpaid Harris,  5 year / $180,000,000 is way too much for him.


I said that I wouldn't be surprised if they finish playoff run in the 1st round, that's quite far from being sure about it. Still quite a few games to be played before playoff, and injuries are always the factor. Especially when it comes to 76s.
Also, it will be interesting to see how this will work with Horford coming off the bench.

I already made thread about Neebs Gaming and their YouTube channel being hacked.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5226242.msg53851799#msg53851799

Luckily, their channel has been restored few days ago and its in their control now. Let's hope they are more careful from now on,both them and all the other YouTube channel owners, as bunch of them failed for a same trick and got their channel hacked.

The way scammers usually do it is that they pretend to have some software that needs promotion, and ask those YouTube creators to try it out and then they will pay them for promotion. But that software has some kind of malware, and they don't check properly before installing. Cheap trick, but many fell for that.

I don't think that their main target are those that were already following Neebs Gaming. They simply wanted that channel because it has big subscribers number, so it appears more legit. Afterall, Neebs Gaming lost almost more than 100k subscribers in those 4-5 days during which they didn't have channel in their control, so quite a few people figured it out.
It is true though that there will always be few who will fall for this kind of thing, send 1 BTC and get 10 back. People do stupid things when they get greedy, and if crypto market doesn't lack something, it's the greedy people.

Embiid and Simmons are very good players, but let's not compare Embiid with Olajuwon (tho i admit that Embiid could be one of the greats if he was less prone to injuries), and especially Simmons with Magic. Until Simmons learn how to shoot, with the roster 76s have (and had), I don't see them coming close to winning the title. I simply expected more from 76s, after years of tanking, but so far "the process" didn't bring expected results, and at least that would be  proper fight for the title.

Last year playoff was good example. They almost beat Raptors in last year's playoff, despite subpar Simmons performance, in 7 games vs Raptors he averaged 11. points and 5 assists. You must admit that's not the level of franchise player.  From what i remember, the one who carried them was Butler. Simmons simply doesn't have tenacity and winning mentality, despite obvious BBIQ and playmaking skills.

In this year playoff I wouldn't be surprised if they end it very early, maybe even in the 1st round, as they will most likely play against Celtics or Heat.

Juventus nastavlja sa kripto aktivnostima. Nakon sto su krajem prosle godine izdali svoj token sa kojim su fanovima omogucili glasanje, sad su sklopili partnerstvo sa Sorare platformom, koja je vec ranije pridobila Romu, Atletico Madrid, West Ham i Porto.

Addmore used fake team member photo, and plagiarized content from 2 sources. Here is the thread from scam accusation board with more info:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5227258.0

Check IMDb, all that info is there. Beside having huge movie database with all important info like release date,cast&crew, there are some other interesting stuff like trivia, quotes etc. Also, you can use it to track movies you watched already, or put on  watchlist ones you plan to watch in the future. If you are interested in financial side, Box Office Mojo is the site you will want to check. (they are also part of IMDb)
Another good site is Letterboxd, for making your own watchlist, and tracking other people  that have similar taste to yours.
If you like to know when blu-ray/dvd of some movie is coming out, dvdsreleasedates is the place to check. Movies get leaked sooner than that, but some (like 1917 e.g.) are supposed to be seen  only in top quality (4k+HDR) so it's a good thing to know release date.


Best cinema experience in years for me, tehnically perfect. It's a shame to watch that movie anywhere else other than quality cinema, at least for the 1st time Now I am waiting for the blu-ray release  (scheduled for March24th) to see it again. I think this was probably best fake-1-take movie so far, kudos to Deakins and Mendes. If someone is interested into real 1 take movie, i suggest Victoria. No cuts. There are other good examples like Russian Ark by well known Russian director Sokurov, but that one is not so mainstream, so i doubt that wide audience would like it.


For me, not even best South Korean movie in the last few years. Ahead of it are  Burning and The Handmaiden.

---

Just a suggestion when people ask for some recommendation: mention few  movies you like of the same/similar genre, so we have some idea about your affinity, as it is very hard to recommend movies to someone you don't know anything about. For example, when someone asks me about good comedy, first i have to know about some comedies they  like, otherwise  there is a good chance i suggest  some type of comedy that they don't like at all. Same goes with other genres.

I honestly doubt that Stephen Curry will leave Warriors. His contract expires in 2022, while currently he is on supermax contract ($200M USD for 5 years, first one ever to sign supermax). In  the summer of 2022 he will be 34 years old, with so far 3 NBA titles and 2x MVP, so he has no reason to prove himself to anyone, or to change the team at the end of his career  in order to win title, like some other players did. My money would be on him staying with Warriors until end of career, and who knows, maybe they will be contenders  again in one of the future seasons.
Now when we mentioned Warriors, yesterday they signed Dragan Bender on 10 day contract, after he was released by Bucks. He was once a promising player, 4th pick of 2016 draft(Phoenix), but in my opinion he came too early to NBA ( he was only 18 when drafted).


If he was healthy, that would be standard for Embiid. I think that with current setup, him and Simmons are not good fit, and sooner or later Philadelphia will have to choose between one of those two, if they ever want to have shot at the title. Jimmy Butler not resigning  really hurt them..

Another Radiumx fake Ann with malware, and based on github looks like the  same guy as earlier today, but he got himself  another bitcointalk account.

That bolded thing is one of the issues, there are no many good projects on the market.  Due fact that 99% of crypto projects are garbage, many bounty hunters mindlessly join almost every bounty campaign, in hope that few out of hundreds will pay off. I don't see them as "hardworking bounty hunters" at all, I see them as part of the problem. They don't do due diligence at all, they don't check what they support, and does that project makes any sense at all, and we end with bunch of shit projects being promoted left and right. And when that project fails, then we see bounty hunters complain.

In my opinion, only campaign worth joining is signature campaign, and only if it's managed by respectable manager. Everything else is in 99% of the cases pure waste of time. So all of those that think of themselves as hardworking, increase your post quality and join some sig campaign. On top of money you will make, you will pollute crypto space less.
