Could you specify what level of investment we are talking about? As you have been told, in the forum we are reluctant to this kind of "offers" from a stranger who sends us to Telegram. The more you can say in public, the better, although it would be understandable to leave some details for private conversation.
522  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: More reason you should protect your privacy and anonymity as a Bitcoin holder. on: January 09, 2024, 03:56:10 AM
Unfortunately, privacy has been compromised with the introduction of KYC requirements by major exchanges and other centralized systems working with Bitcoin.

Anonymity is no longer guaranteed, as our data is now in the hands of the government. Despite the government's right to inquire about personal financial matters, their overzealous actions towards Bitcoin holders and investors have raised concerns.

The bad thing is that we see more and more steps in that direction, and we don't see steps back. If things continue like this, in the end it will make more sense for bitcoins to be held by a bank than by you in a HW, which may even prohibit them in the future, or force KYC to buy them. All very different from the idea for which it was created but it seems that we are heading towards it.
523  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: New Crypto Tax Law In US 10k+ Transactions Must Report to IRS in 15 Days on: January 09, 2024, 03:36:12 AM
The joke is when they begin enforcing this by requiring the user who are using nonhosted wallets to register them by submitting for documents for KYC or tell you to move your funds to a centralized hosted wallet that has registered with the proper government departments.

Everything that has been speculated years ago in social media and in this forum is presently starting to happen.

I have been saying for a long time that the goal of politicians is to force Bitcoin transactions to be like bank transactions, with KYC everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future self-hosted wallets are banned, or you are forced to pass a KYC to buy it, things like that.

What the next occurrence might be is they will not allow people from a lower income bracket from investing in the cryptospace.

That is not going to happen. You can't pass discriminatory laws like that in democracies.

Blah, blah, blah, bullshit...
Also it makes you wonder, why would you and PP desperately change the title when replying?

There are several people on the forum whose face I would like to see, and you are one of them, but without having seen it I know two things about it:

1) You have a nose bigger than Pinocchio.
2) If you open your mouth and move it, you are lying (the same applies for when you type something on a keyboard that has some meaning).

Anyone can see that the title was changed by you, and in this last post you have done it again for the second time.
525  Economy / Economics / Re: The Jim Cramer affect on Bitcoin.... on: January 08, 2024, 04:10:57 AM
He is funny and although he has been wrong many times we can't think that he will always be wrong, having a kind of contrarian power. If he says that the price of something is going to go up, sometimes he gets it right, what happens is that in him, who is dedicated to it, the times he gets it right are not as loud as the epic fails. So don't worry that the price is not going to go down this year because of some kind of Cramer curse.
526  Economy / Economics / Re: Imagine African countries using Bitcoin to pay salaries, on: January 08, 2024, 03:58:32 AM
Paying salaries in Bitcoin, in a country where there is a high poverty rate and where the population needs to spend 90% of the salary directly, is useless. Most of the population cannot keep Bitcoin as an investment and therefore will not be able to benefit from price fluctuations, and the high Bitcoin fees may wipe out most of the salary.

With a fee of 47 sat/vB and assuming that the person will make an average of 3 transactions and that the transaction is 1 input 2 output, he will need about 21 US Dollars per month, while the average salary in Nigeria is around 30,000 NGN (69.17 US Dollars) according to https://www.timedoctor.com/blog/average-salary -in-nigeria/

That's just what I was thinking. Receiving the salary in Bitcoin, so that people will immediately exchange it into local currency in order to spend it does not make much sense.And more so after the era of high fees we've had recently, where until recently you could pay $20 if you wanted to have some guarantee that your transaction would be confirmed. What the OP says as a dream is fine, but it's not going to happen, and certainly not in the near future.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you willing to bet $50 spin for a chance to win $42 million? on: January 08, 2024, 03:47:22 AM
If $50 is an amount I can easily spend on anything without hurting my wallet, why not? But if $50 is a significant amount for me, I won't do it. I'm sure that with a jackpot as huge as $42 million, the probability of hitting that jackpot with just a $50-spin is extremely low.

Basically, you can spend your life playing without winning the jackpot. People are blinded by the amount, the $42M, but it's not just that the bettor was betting $50, but the odds of winning that are ridiculous. I imagine it is a good publicity for the house that this week will have had a boost in revenue, especially in slots. It is like when there is a jackpot of many millions in the lottery.
528  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does this Qualifies you to give non-professional or semi-professional financial on: January 08, 2024, 03:35:36 AM
It seems to me to be mixing apples and pears. Someone who bought or rather got Bitcoin in 2009 and has held to this day will be loaded, and probably knows a lot because he has been informed during this time, but what happens in the next 15 years looks like it will be different from what happened in the last 15, and giving financial advice takes more than just being a holder.
529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Honduras Special Zone officially recognizes Bitcoin as a unit of account on: January 08, 2024, 03:19:20 AM
Well, all news of this kind is welcome, but considering that this is an area of 60K inhabitants, we should not be overly optimistic.

Nor do I believe that Bitcoin is going to impose itself as a unit of account on the basis of legislation, considering how volatile it still is relative to the major currencies. We only have to see that it is not a unit of account in a practical way even in this forum.
530  Economy / Lending / Re: Need 6$ to 15$ loan any amount in this area for 2 to 7 days max - x2 back return on: January 07, 2024, 06:05:34 AM
This area of the forum never ceases to amaze me. You registered in 2015 and you ask for crappy $6 on a loan?

Of course, if someone lends them to you they don't have much to lose, but seeing how infrequently you post on the forum you don't give confidence that you can disappear and not come back here.
531  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the bull run begun ? on: January 07, 2024, 05:55:06 AM
If you meant that will bitcoin and crypto continue going up in price from here, I really don't know. If I knew when the prices would go up, I'd go all in with leverage lol. But alas, we can't predict the future so we should position our funds carefully.

The fact that we cannot predict the future with accuracy does not mean that we cannot make probabilistic predictions that are accurate most of the time. In this sense, it is quite a bit more likely that the price of Bitcoin will be higher than it is now a year from now than it will be lower. Halving, the historical pattern or the moderation of central bank rate policies are strong arguments for thinking so.

It depends on how we define the bull run, but I would say we are more likely at the beginning.
532  Economy / Reputation / Re: DT1 and DT2 members who have negative feedback (or are banned) on: January 07, 2024, 05:45:20 AM
I like to think that being conservative with negative tags is what contributed to me having the highest DT "approval ratings".

I'd say that's only part of the success, because third on that list is The Sceptical Chymist, who isn't exactly conservative with his feedback, though perhaps over the years he has moderated.

Having written the guide to the correct use of the trust system I think that also carries a lot of weight.
533  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: New Crypto Tax Law In US 10k+ Transactions Must Report to IRS in 15 Days on: January 07, 2024, 05:36:27 AM
Honestly how are they going to enforce this strict policy?

In cases of P2P transactions they will not be able to, but where one of the parties is a company, they will have to report them. Although $10K is pretty good, in the EU they want to leave the threshold at only €1K.

EU lawmakers impose €1,000 cap on anonymous crypto, cash transactions

Why am I not surprised that a thread that was going about Timelord2067 now you suddenly change the title to an alleged [banned mixer] scam? Nothing surprises me from you anymore, I guess. It was explained to you in the other thread, what you say is false, i.e. this:

So basically not only they are getting away with the ban by exploiting a loophole, they are now offering at least %30 ROI per month?

He explained it to you well joker_josue:

What the page says is that you can earn up to 34%. In other words, you can earn between 1% and 34%. It does not guarantee this profitability. This will certainly depend on the money invested and the volume of business that the platform has.

But you go about your business.

535  Economy / Economics / Re: 4 COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MADE WITH THEIR FINANCES LAST YEAR THAT SHOULD BE AVOID on: January 06, 2024, 05:18:25 AM
These are not bad tips, what is wrong is the order in which they are given and that they are incomplete. The first one should be to track your expenses, in addition to your income, that is to create a budget. This will help you not to overspend, and then you will be able to save for an emergency fund and then invest, although there would be an intermediate step which is to get rid of consumer debts.

For someone new, as I said, they are not bad, but for me, who has been interested in and practicing personal finance for years, they have basic errors.
536  Economy / Gambling / Re: UNREAL!! Sportsbet.io pays out a $42,000,000 USDT Casino WIN!! on: January 06, 2024, 05:08:13 AM
I'm really  still asking, is this really real or engineering, $42 million is a huge win, he's a new billionaire born of gambling, LOL

Well, let's not exaggerate. A billionaire would have made $1K million, but $42 million is not bad at all, I wish I could have gotten it.

Where in the world that there is such kind of winning and paid by gambling site? paying 42 million dollars for a single player/single win is such the biggest gambling win I have ever heard and only in Sportsbet.io.

It makes me wonder what the turnover of sportsbet.io will be. Searching the internet I see that the annual revenue is about $7 million, which does not fit with such a high payout. I guess it's a pot that has been building up over the years and the money has been kept separate, otherwise there's no way to explain it.
537  Economy / Economics / Re: If you want to get rich, you have to become immune to the money.......! on: January 06, 2024, 04:58:24 AM
What a load of influencer bullshit.

Youtube videos about money tend to pay better than in other areas, than if you talk about flowers or chess for example. That's why you find a lot of videos on how to get rich, and financial advice in general, some with useful tips and others, like these, with a lot of bullshit that is useless.

If you want to get rich, you'd better follow a proven method, starting by spending less than you earn, and increasing income, leaving you with immunity and desire bullshit.
538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Someone just sent 26 BTC to genesis block address on: January 06, 2024, 04:52:23 AM
In case it is not a mistake, it is clear that the sender has much more than that. There are those who send a few satoshis to the genesis block address because for them it is nothing and there are those who have so much money that they can afford to waste 26 Bitcoin.

If it is a mistake, or a victim of malware, it would be another matter.
539  Economy / Reputation / Re: @Lucius accusations: is there hope for all newbies? on: January 06, 2024, 04:38:16 AM
Once you prove you're here to contribute meaningfully, attitudes will thaw.  Till then keep your posts short and sweet. 

I don't agree with that. He has done nothing wrong, therefore he can write the posts as he pleases, long or short. Earning trust has nothing to do with how he writes the posts.
540  Economy / Services / Re: Signature space for rent! Taking offers on: January 05, 2024, 11:02:06 AM
Your post history consist of 1-3 liner generic campaign manager type of posts, why would anyone hire you other than yourself? Lol

I can think of a million reasons why I would hire Hhampuz over this guy:

A deranged troll signature, avatar, personal message for rent!

You obviously are not able to see that as he manages many campaigns, he creates the OP and every time he writes a 1-3 liner to say that payments have been made for example the thread gets bumped and his OP, which is what people who visit it the first time see, as well. That is very good exposure for advertisers and not as a simple 1 liner on page 34 of a generic thread in Bitcoin Discussion or Gambling.

You don't see that any more than you see that for an advertiser it is very good to hire the second most trusted account on the forum, with 120 positive feedbacks.

I rather think you are jealous.
