LOL. Although I wouldn't say totally, as you and others have answered what I was asking.


Whether I am identifiable if I make any transactions, not only from that address



I agree and I have moved the topic. Before opening it I was wondering whether to do it there.



Let's say that no transactions I have done are linked with my real identity, with my real name. I think they could still be traced via IP address right?


You've understood correctly. No, I'm not worried about the source. Actually the sending address of those funds start like this "bitvestxxxxx..." so it's pretty clear where those funds come from.


Yes but that's not infallible either, is it? First because the Electrum node(s) I connect to knows my IP and the addresses I own.

Also, if I have an address with 0.01 BTC that's linked to my real identity and I only want to make transactions of 0.02 BTC or higher, at some point I'll have to use that addres mixed with others to send funds so the others will be linked to me also.

Not too worried really, as I said, I don't hold a lot of funds. It's just that I have been reading about it and I guess too many questions have arised while I was reading the info.

Thanks

I have been reading about transactions, privacy, coin control etc. The truth is that until now I haven't worried much, but a couple of doubts have arisen.

The first one: if you don't have much bitcoin and you haven't done many transactions, you should be very worried about it?

The second one: would it be a good idea for example that what I earn with the signature campaigns goes to the same address and I use that address to send bitcoin without mixing with other of my addresses?

In other cases I think it will be unavoidable to use different addresses for sending bitcoin if you have little money in the addresses and want to send more.

Similarly, I do budget but I'm not a freak. I just use an excel to keep record of my expenses so I can plan properly. When I started budgeting I kept record of all my expenses but now I know more or less what I spend. I only revise and write down expenses on certain categories if my spending habits change or when I believe prices have gone up more than 10% in that category, as I always budget a 10% extra of what I usually spend.

OP, you say you are budgeting because your personal finance is not that good but you would be surprised about how many people keep budgeting even after year of being in a comfortable position.

For me, there is no point in trying to guess when bitcoin price will fall if you want to buy, because I hold long-term. If you are trying to trade you should know more about the subject than you seem to by asking that question. Otherwise you are trying to play a crystal-ball game.

But are you talking about reporting posts of the same user? If I see they are bots/spammers and their post history is crap I just report one and tell moderator to look at their post history. Whenever I've checked afterwards, they've nuked them.

I don't know if the attack speed of the bots has accelerated but there have been three commenting in a short period of time in the WO thread (already reported and dealt with). Then if we see the threads opened in meta I would say so because people are busy reporting:

Posting/reporting limits

Spam and plagiarism

Please block the user @taatacycsa.

I can only understand OP because his nickname is @Lmaooo so he is joking. Or maybe he opened the post in advance to today, which is fool's day in certain countries. Anyway, as it has been pointed out, it is quite laughable to talk about a bear market just because a very small short-term correction.

They are bots. That one is the same as the one after, who I'm not even going to bother quoting. Just keep reporting them, as I've already done. There is a thread in meta about it.

That would temporarily stop new spam-bot accounts being created and then what? When new accounts were allowed again we would have the same problem. Even more if they are bots. I reported a bunch of them, in some cases I'm not sure if they are stupid people or bots.

I haven't reported the thread because this is the speculation section but it would be good in the future if you give some reason, even 1, why you think that will be the case.

As I said in another thread, one can clearly see that we are in a bull market, not only because of the price but also because these kind of threads.

I hope you are right OP, even if that prediction came out of inside your ass.

Which will be good because it will make the price more stable.

As for OP's idea, not bad for having just his mind as the source of it but I'm sure reality will be more complicated than that. Phases will be more mixed I suppose, not a straight line.

I just read his twitter where he talks about it and I quoted him in the WO thread, but anyway, we should not forget that it is normal to see these theories in a bull market.

In a bear market these theories are either not said or go unnoticed. Having said that, I hope he is right.

If I have understood you well, you are saying that these parabolic moves up won't happen because institutional investors will help stabilize the market. So you are not so bullish as him

It is not pointless if bitcoin is the best store of value in the world. To be a p2p electronic cash system it is a problem indeed but even if this problem weren't solved by lightning network I wouldn't worry much. Bitcoin may differ from the original idea Satoshi had.

Actually, current price is around $27,6k on bitstamp right now. Yes, going up very fast, it feels like too fast.



At some point  we are going to have dips but I'm positive and think that we are not going to have a bear market soon. I think we will reach much higher prices before that. Most analysis predict we are in a similar situation to 2016, not 2017. I believe, and hope, they are right.

I received no response from them regarding my request to have my data deleted. I just put them on junk mail list. All ledger emails no matter if they are legit or not and I have uninstalled Ledger Live. I don't know if this is too paranoid but I don't want them knowing how much I have (which is not a lot btw). I just don't want to have to deal with them any more.

Next time I check the price we've reached $27,220 on bitstamp. Let's see how far this goes. At some time it will have to correct, for sure. Let's hope it's something like from $40k to $28k, a 30% retreat.

Wouldn't it be better to do it using a crypto casino instead of an exchange? I've always thought that the moment you deposit your coins get mixed so it would do a similar function to mixers. Most crypto casinos are non-kyc.

It seems we are going to $27k non-stop. At this pace $30k doesn't seem so crazy before 2021. It's just an 11% increase.
