But I want to add actually if this person has been in the forum, he can take advantage of this discussion forum to provide validation of that website. Although it takes a little time, but I feel confident this forum will give an honest answer.
Do not trust anyone. This is a forum crawling with scammers just like the rest of the Internet. There are a lot of willing, honest members but there's no guarantee that they'll be the first to comment to an inquiry and enough time could have passed for someone to log into the wrong website and they steal their log in details and breach their accounts. Always validate information yourself as much as you can. Even if a scammer (assuming the account has not been tagged) is the first to reply to the thread, it would be of no consequence because surely the OP should be smart enough to get a response from multiple users before deciding on what to do. As long as the thread remains open, other members would give their own opinions and openly tackle the scammer. Even though scam is not moderated, the community members have zero tolerance for scam and would never let it happen. |

In a couple of minutes, Arsenal will be facing Manchester United. I’m rooting for Manchester United to win not because I’m a United supporter but because I don’t want to see Arsenal win the premier league. My friends who are Arsenal supporters are already bragging about their success this season, I don’t want them to have more bragging power. Manchester United are not in the best of forms still I’m hoping they can deny Arsenal the points in this game.
No. I think Arsenal will win that game. I was also watching the live broadcast and currently both teams are playing evenly. Arsenal has motivation to maintain their chances of winning the Primeire League title. Arsenal was lucky today, Manchester United was the better side in the match but disappointingly they lost. If United had a managed to score the first goal, the result would have been different. It’s not easy to fight to the end, I have to give Arsenal that but Manchester City are going to win the league. |

My question is that how can someone dictate a fake website? because is getting too much, is there anyway the comonas need to know things like this if there is any.
Back when I was still active on telegram, I saw a lot of scam groups and fake websites. I made it a point to expose these scam websites. These are some points you should pay attention to be able to spot a scam site; • Look for grammar errors - scammers usually make typos in their website information. • Unrealistic returns of investment - if it’s too good to be true, it’s a scam. • Website about information - scammers cannot help but be ingenuous. Their about profile is usually copied from another website. Also check their team, if you can google the pictures of their supposed team you will find these people are not in the crypto business irl. • How long the site claim to be in existence vs how long the sites has been in existence according to scamadviser.com • Search the url on https://www.bitcoinabuse.com |

To me i think there are some part of the world that still don't know anything about Bitcoin, because there are people in USA, UK, Australia, Canada, China,etc. even in Nigeria there are people that don't know anything about Bitcoin, they always think that Bitcoin is a scam,
It’s possible that there are parts of the world that Bitcoin is still an alien concept, however bitcoin can be said to be a household name in the countries you mentioned. Though these countries may not be bitcoin friendly and some have strict regulations regarding bitcoin transactions, the fact is that the public are very much aware of bitcoin. Is the information they have regarding bitcoin 100% accurate? I cannot say for sure. but people that know about it are making thousand of Dollars,($) I think they don't know that we are in a digital world now
This is a wrong perception of bitcoin. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme, just because you know about bitcoin doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to get rich. First you have to understand that bitcoin is not free. You need money to purchase bitcoins so the people you think that are supposedly making thousands of dollars from bitcoin investment either bought bitcoin early or invested a reasonable amount of money to be able to see significant gains. |

Have you tried reading the pinned threads in Beginners & Help? You have asked a similar question before, it seems you didn’t bother to read the suggestions on the thread. Quoting mk4 from that thread: OP you have created 5 topics (excluding the two plagiarism that was deleted by mods) since you joined the forum and have never gone back to any of the topics to respond to the comments there. |

1. Hunger for crypto knowledge: it takes only determination and the Hunger to be knowledgeable to get a user so active on this crypto space, because every minute you don't come online to see what's happening on the forum it will look like you are missing something, and u will be restless untill you come online.
Hunger for crypto knowledge as you so put it is not supposed to be an afterthought or something you decide to do after creating a bitcointalk account. If learning about cryptocurrencies wasn’t your motivation for joining the forum to begin with, then you will have difficulty finding reasons to stay. The forum has a variety of topics and broad discussions, post wherever you have an interest in. You may discover you’re mostly interested in topics in a particular board than you’re in others. |

So, what does a miner do when solving a hash? Let’s imagine a previous block:
Previous block:
– Hash of the previous block: abc123
– Timestamp: 1637284650
– Nonce: 0
– Transactions: 1. Tx1: 10 BTC from A to B 2. Tx2: 5 BTC from C to D 3. Tx3: 3 BTC from E to F …
The miner creates the current block, concatenates all the data (pay attention to the nonce, which I’ve marked in bold):
Concatenated block data: abc123163728465010Tx1Tx2Tx3…
Then, the SHA-256 hash function is applied to the entire block:
Hash = SHA-256(abc123163728465010Tx1Tx2Tx3…)
The result is a unique 256-bit hash, which can be seen as a hexadecimal string of numbers and letters. For example, suppose the resulting hash starts with some zeros (just to get a realistic example, I will explain it afterwards):
Your guide may work for your parents but it cannot be used generally for people in that age range. There’s some points to consider like how tech savvy are your parents; are they computer literate? If they are not, then they cannot possibly understand the concept of nodes, hash rates or other technical details of Bitcoin. People from developing countries where a formal education does not go so far back the family tree have to teach bitcoins to elders like they are teaching a toddler. How do you talk to the people in these images about technical discussions about Bitcoin? |

Force is too strong a word. You can’t force someone to invest their money in something they don’t want to. However you can convince people that x investment is profitable. Simply telling people about the benefits of bitcoin and encouraging them to invest can have its repercussions especially when dealing with friends and family. These category of people do not care to know about the risks involved in bitcoin trading and the volatility of bitcoin as an asset. Their only concern is making profits and if that doesn’t happen then they will drag you for a refund of their money. This is something you have to deal with when introducing family and friends to Bitcoin.

I want to avoid in any case, that sensation of being a boring crypto bro evangelist,
You already failed at that. If you cannot get us (people in a bitcoin forum) to read your topic, how can you get newbies and skeptics to listen to you. It took my time but I read the entire OP, I don’t think you should be talking about the technical aspects of bitcoin to newbies as an introduction to Bitcoin. Neither do I think that newbies would be interested in the environmental impact of mining. When introducing Bitcoin to a beginner, stick to the simple stuff, use layman terms and do not try to impress people with your technical expertise on the subject. Most people are interested in bitcoin as an asset, you can hold their interest by talking about that. |

I will be dedicating a lot of my time to reading about Bitcoin on this forum. What I learn will likely be shared in brief posts with many questions for you and everyone else to help me answer. I guess my adventure to learn about Bitcoin has just started.
I’m not a fan of introductory posts by newcomers because of the way newbies ignore the suggestions in the thread and move on to doing what they like. But you, OP have been active in your thread, newbies like you learn very fast and are very much appreciated by the community. You don’t have to make a separate thread to ask every question, you can use the forum search engine or google with bitcointalk added in your search. |

Whatever you choose to call it, gambling or betting, they are the same to me. Both words are interchangeable in a sentence. Well to me i still don't see any much difference in them since both are all luck based game and when it dispute the gambling theorem them we can have them being classified separately. In sport betting after having all games selected, there odds are being multiplied by the total amount staked to give a potential winning and these depends on luck for someone to win.
Casino games and sports betting are not the same. Sports betting isn’t all luck. It takes skill and knowledge to be good at sports betting even with all that you still need a little bit of luck. Unlike slot games, there is no such thing as house advantage in sports betting. The game cannot be said to be rigged to favour the casino. The odds of you winning or losing depends on your analysis and predictions. |

It might be illegal to gamble cards in the country, that could be the reason why the guys are hiding. In Nigeria, non skilled card games are considered illegal and players can be arrested. OP I don’t think you take your safety seriously. How can you see a group of guys in hidden spot and decide to go join them? That’s the most stupid thing ever. They could be thieves or worse. There is a saying “curiosity killed the cat.” I hope your curiosity doesn’t get you into trouble one day. |

One thing I normally say is that if you not doing extra thing to fetch you income and you invest in bitcoin then you liable to touch your investment bitcoin but if you doing something either business or job and the weekly income or the monthly income is good then you don't have to worry about your bitcoin investment and all what you have to do is continue hodling. And for those who have started their investment from 2-3 years ago and they are still holding meaning they workers and businessmen and women so there will no obstacle that will stop them to hodle till the coming All Time High.
People sell their bitcoin hodlings for various reasons. It’s not always because they depend on their bitcoin investment and do not have a source of income to support their expenses. In a bull run, it is not unreasonable to want to sell your bitcoins and make some profit. A smart investor takes advantage of these opportunities to sell at a high price and buy later at a lower price. Op you want people who are hodling up to $20k while you are still struggling with $2k. Lolz. What an irony.
OP said he’s hodling over $2k. I believe he doesn’t want to give us the amount of bitcoins he is hodling, whatever that amount may be is none of our business. |

In general, everyone will allow the OP post to be merited but there can be situations like if any admin or mod, posts a thread he does not need merits and therefore he may restrict the post to be merited, so people and/or the merit sources do not send merits to those posts and rather give merits to ordinary people.
By ordinary people, I take it you mean members with less than 1000 merits. You really cannot help it if members with more than 1k merits are making better contributions to the forum than those with less merit ratio. The merit system was introduce to combat shit posters. Merit is not given to help members to rank up. I agree with this topic, topics like ----> Bitcoin Pizza bake-off contest! Enter by June 1 does not deserve to have send merits option, as it has become a preferred place for merit farming, but such topics are limited and must be manually edited case-by-case by the administrator. If we are going to follow through with this idea then wall observer board should also be restricted because accounts with low quality posts easily increase their ranks by just posting on that thread. Everyone has their opinion of threads that are being exploited for merit farming and deciding which thread to restrict may become an issue for mods. |
