3081  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Here is what I don’t understand about DEFI? on: August 15, 2020, 01:15:04 PM
Before the DeFi becomes hot like it is now, LEND / AAVE used to be a very good platform. Ridiculously, you know in 2019 and early of 2020, very little people believed in LEND and don't think it can get success and rally like it has accomplished. To get acceptance for a loan, you need to have collateral. No one, no service, no bank allows you to loan without collateral.

LEND on coinmarketcap. It rose from $0.02 to $0.47. So technology is not a matter, DeFi is not a matter. LEND is LEND, and do you think it rose because of DeFi, not like this.
3082  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With this recent surge in BTC, is it possible to have all time high this year? on: August 15, 2020, 12:46:17 PM
Anything is possible with Bitcoin. We had a big bear market in 2015 where people thought it's all over for Bitcoin. We had the media tell the world that Bitcoin was just a bubble that popped and comparing it to the tulips. A year later we were at the all time high again and another year later we had a new ATH. I don't see it going this fast now and believe that we'll have to wait another year, but if by any chance we went past 15k, we probably wouldn't stop until 20k, so let's wait and see. At this point we are setting up for either a bullish breakout or a triple top at 12k which would be bearish.
Early this year, hours after the news from WHO , the pandemic is here, it is almost a hellhole for Bitcoin. There are many people thought bitcoin will fall down to $1500 range or lower. They thought keep fiat in their pockets is the best choice. Terribly, two weeks later, bitcoin rallied too much and in the same period, many governments printed more paper fiats that force the value of fiats down.

Bitcoin is the best.

SRM rose 20 times from its IEO price and it surprised all when keep rising and rising in its first 2 days. Later DeFi coins or tokens did not have same price rides. Their price more easily to fall down. SOL, SAND, and the latest is CRV. CRV price has fallen from 0.0021 to 0.0005670 within a half of day. It plummetted very fast. I bought at 0.0007 and still have temp loses.Cry

There are many points in the factsheet but I like the point on working online as most. I would prefer to work online because I don't want to have business trip and get distance from my lovely family and there are some uncontrollable things in those trips. It makes more sense in the pandemic, Covid-19, online is the best to work, not only for me but also for all, global wide.

I will try to learn and practice points in the factsheet that match my personal characteristics and wish that I will have small accomplisment next year.
3085  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With this recent surge in BTC, is it possible to have all time high this year? on: August 15, 2020, 11:29:22 AM
Despite the pandemic and the current situation throughout the world, BTC keeps on surging upward in price. This might not be far from the upcoming halving happening in the next 13 days. If BTC can recover like this from $3800 and now trading above $9000, it is likely to speculate that we might have another all-time high this year?
I don't think BTC will be able to get enough momentum to hit its all time high this year. 3 months and a half of month left. Furthermore, the history of BTC shows it only reaches its new all time high approximately 1 year after halving days. It happened for several times and I won't wait for the exception this year, after this halving.

I don't know. Randomly choose on address and check with explorer.

List of Bitcoin block explorers

I don't know about old version of Bitcoin core but you can try with console.

dumpprivkey address

Pick one of address you check with block explorer and see balance, use the dumpprivkey to get its private key.

If you get private key from Bitcoin Core, you can sweep it to Electrum. It saves time because with Electrum, your wallet will be synced in minutes.

You need to sync your wallet before it shows correct balance (amount of your Bitcoin left in that wallet). She it is fully synced, ? will disappear. Or it can be Bitcoin you mined from orphan blocks.

Anyway, make some backups first.

If you still get access to wallet (no passphrase protection?) and addresses, copy some of them to check on block explorer and find out it is from orphan block. If your check results actually show balance, you need to fully sync your wallet, with the newest version of Bitcoin core.

Get the link to newest Bitcoin core at the top. Latest Bitcoin core release 0.20.0.

Did you buy the wallet file? Buying it meant you was scammed. Don't use wallet recovery service and be scammed again.

If it is yours, copy and backup to multiple files before you do anything next. It is a fortune.

SSL vs. TLS but they are certificates and don't insure that no threats on SSL sites.
3090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indian banks freezing bank accounts AGAIN ! on: August 13, 2020, 02:30:27 PM
Banks are allowed to freeze accounts when they believe the activity is suspicious, right? And do we know for sure that those whose accounts were freezed were trading on licensed exchanges that legally operate in India, and were complying with trading-related legislation? Was this money legally earned, were they paying taxes for trading (if they're obliged to)?
It depends on case to case and how their bank transfer histories are. If they did something suspicious, money laundering, illegal money etc. Banks do have right to freeze such accounts and frozen account owners are not considered as victims if proofs show they broke banks' ToS and the local laws as well.

3092  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Beware there is fake Trustwallet App circulating on Playstore! on: August 03, 2020, 05:05:15 PM
The safest and recommended is to visit the official wallet website that we will download.
Officially visit websites & download apps, not fake ones.

Thanks. Now I know I can rely on sort of sources to download apps: official websites. With the story, I learn that I have to check a strange word or abbreviation in company names on app listed in Google Play. Inc. for Incorporation vs LLC. for Limited Liability Company.

Trust wallet is a big one so that LLC. is smaller than its real entity.
3093  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [How to] Detect and recognize projects on: August 03, 2020, 04:58:27 PM
are they really upgrading their scammy methods too?
i honestly haven't seen any new method of scamming people for a very long time. it has been the same thing but it gets easier and they keep changing the name of it. for example they were scamming using ICOs and then changed the name to IEO and did the same scam all over again under the new name then changed it a couple of times. and nowadays with the latest name (DeFi) they are scamming all the same.
IEOs are upgrades of failed ICOs. Then projects failed with ICOs and IEOs try to create a new trend, DeFi to get attention of stupid investors and steal capital from them. ICOs are dead for a while. IEOs are still around us. DeFi projects now are seeding everywhere in crypto space. I will wait a few months to see current successful DeFi projects and their coins, tokens fall to 80 or 90 percent.

3095  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Change address. Why some exchanges provide change address, some don't. Reasons? on: July 22, 2020, 04:17:15 PM
Thanks all. Your comments enlighten me and now I know reasons why exchanges don't want to provide change addresses the will create more complex problems on their systems. And if they provide change addresses, it is not a thing to protect customers' privacy at the ends and in all situations and requests from governments.

3097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Change address. Why some exchanges provide change address, some don't. Reasons? on: July 20, 2020, 05:12:48 PM
As I read, change addresses can help to protect privacy leaks from transaction traces but not all exchanges provide change addresses for their customers.

Why they don't?

Are technology requirements or computation power to provide change addresses are expensive so some exchanges don't provide it?

Will they provide in the future?
3098  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Opps, Google did it again on: July 20, 2020, 04:48:11 PM
You will be safe if you don't forget basic rule. Don't believe in search results from Google or any search engines. You can use them but need to search with two or three engines and compare results.

Apps, don't search and download them on mobile. Visit sites that you bookmark, remember if search and double check, to get links to apps on stores. Use the search box in app stores to find apps are so stupid.

KYC is the way governments like to control their citizens. Where are KYC from initially? If not from governments' forced requirements on exchanges. In the future, all centralized exchanges will be required to do KYC on their customers. The future will belong to decentralised exchanges
3100  Economy / Economics / Re: India-China border tensions on: July 14, 2020, 01:48:04 PM
There is a possibility that war could be a solution to the weakening of the Chinese economy if China copied exactly what Germany did after losing World War I or imitated what America did by engaging in World War II. If China sees war as a project and conducts economic at war then war as a solution for China's interests in the Asian region. What Xi did with Hong Kong was proof that sovereignty was a fixed price for China.
Sovereignty is important for any nation, no doubt about its importance.

Nevertheless, I don't like what China (Chinese governments, specifically) says lies and make stupid drama for their sovereignty. They have full rights to protect their sovereignty but they should do this on what belong to them only. Indeed, they make drama and want to take over everything they can. They don't respect international laws that they signed in long time ago. They don't respect their neighbors. Everything
