Thanks for sharing those links!
I'll try to make a chart combining the different referral options and welcome bonuses

I've been trying to do this for a while, there must be something to it, I've been sharing links for too long without taking advantage of the referral policies

Je vote en faveur de l'avatar Elmo ! Même s'il est non sexué, ça ferait un chouette palliatif à l'impossible changement de pseudo 

Blague à part, un pseudo féminin peut vraiment avoir des avantages à l'écrit, quand on communique avec des mecs qui ont la dalle 
Quand je faisais du support technique en tchat pour une marque de jeux vidéos, j'avais un collègue qui avait des statistiques spécialement bonnes, les clients le notait particulièrement bien, je me demandais comment il y arrivait. La réponse était prévisible, il utilisait un prénom féminin    Avec les mêmes procédures et les mêmes macros envoyées aux utilisateurs, il était globalement mieux noté que nous autres hommes qui utilisaient notre vrai prénom.
À l'inverse, si t'avais un prénom d'origine maghrébine, souvent ils étaient moins patients

I also thought for a moment that XRP was dead but we should not forget an important detail. The MICA regulation law in Europe is coming  and should be effective in the coming year (in theory, after that nobody can really know when it will be effective because even when it comes into force there will be a 12 months "grace period" to allow CEX and other actors in the sector to adapt themselves to the new regulation).

XRP is part of the cryptos that are compliant with the ISO 200022 standard and these will be privileged and their use accepted automatically by the MICA law. This is also true for IOTA, or HBAR for example.
That's why I think XRP can still have some nice pumps ahead of it. Being a crypto that is already compliant with such extreme regulations as MICA is clearly an advantage, and many companies may turn to these solutions at least for a while for ease and convenience.

I don't know what the future holds for XRP, but I'm pretty optimistic about new pumps to come.

En gros je voulais payer ma maison sans faire de crédit, et la payer cash grâce au fait de hold du BTC.
Si jamais tu t'ennuies profondément, j'ai fait un post récemment (pour garder une trace, et pour raconter un peu ma vie    ) ici : Guys!! I was finally able to buy my home thanks to Bitcoin!!!


 

Oui j'avais été bloqué, je bouge beaucoup géographiquement et comme un con j'avais mis l'option de sécurité par IP retention. j'avais été incapable de le récupérer à l'époque

Entre temps j'ai pu récupérer iwantmyhomepaidwithbtc mais le compte étant quasi vierge, j'ai gardé le #2 du coup

As I write this message it is 15:00 UTC

So there is still around 3 hours left for those who want to participate


I think it is reasonable to wait for block 779320 for the draw

Thank you  

I would also like to know how many people have been able to change their lives thanks to BTC, for example access to private property or healthcare, it would be interesting to have access to a sociological study of the "winners and losers" of Bitcoin, that could be very interesting from my point of view.

I don't dodge my taxes tbh, I'm in a country where they are relatively low (for example less than 100 usd per year in property taxes, 10% flat tax on all incomes, 10 % on cryptos profits when >3k / year etc.). On the other hand, if I had stayed in my native country, I would probably have tried to avoid them (there it's in the 33% minimum on crypto profits and on incomes...)

Ouais je comprends tout à fait vos réponses

En effet je regarde aussi les cours (au mois 3-4 fois par semaine, du moins en théorie  ), que cela soit BTC ou certains alts, je suis obligé de le faire pour des raisons professionnelles et bien sur, aussi pour savoir où on en est globalement.
Mais ce que je voulais dire, c'est que si je cherchais à comprendre les mouvements de cours, je me rendrais anxieux par rapport à ce que je fais de mon pognon investi en crypto.

Plus je me pose de questions, plus je fais de la merde, j'ai compris avec les années que le seul moyen pour moi de ne pas perdre d'argent avec BTC et les cryptos, est de ne pas trop réfléchir et d'attendre sagement les halving -> bullruns. Je suis beaucoup trop "sensible" dans mes analyses, je manque toujours de recul et même si je le sais, j'ai rarement intérêt (d'un point de vue financier) à suivre mon instinct. Je serai probablement le pire daily trader au monde je pense. Du coup je me cantonne à mes Antminers, au moins, c'est "stable" 


Puis-je te demander la raison de tes doutes ? Ça m'intéresse beaucoup de connaitre le point de vue de quelqu'un qui est là depuis fort longtemps et qui n'est pas dans la certitude absolue d'une montée de BTC. Souvent les BTC maxis de 2013-2014 ne diffusent qu'un son de cloche : "BTC n'échouera pas, l'adoption va venir etc...etc..."

Est-ce la les institutions et les régulations ? Par exemple, crois que tu MICA va faire du mal à BTC ? Ou penses-tu qu'il y a des "effets de mode" qui vont finir par s'estomper ?

Je sais que ça doit sonner foutrement naif comme question, mais de mon côté plus j'étudie, plus je lis, plus je suis convaincu que le fonctionnement même de BTC suffira à parer la grande majorité des soucis qui pourraient lui nuire.


Haha je comprends  mais est-ce que cela ne t'a jamais incité à vendre ? Genre jamais de "panic sell"  qui n'aurait pas eu lieu en étant déconnecté des cours ?

This reminds me of a forum user who wondered if miners could be held responsible and liable, when they validate a block that includes transactions related to the drugs or weapons trade. This to me is the antithesis of what Bitcoin is supposed to offer the world.

I wonder where this kind of questioning will lead us, I also wonder if one day there will be a question of analyzing transactions in the mempool in order to cancel them (like double-spending before validation in a block) when they include blacklisted addresses. I must admit that I wouldn't be surprised if someone proposed this, but I would be extremely surprised if it was realistically feasible. As I know, only the sender can do double-spend, so it shouldn’t be possible no ?

It would clearly be harmful, if not fatal, to the decentralization of Bitcoin. I don't really know how realistic such a scenario would be, but I imagine that as long as a majority of nodes are not owned by institutions or governments, we'll be far from it.

For me the two main cryptos I accumulate are BTC and ETH, nothing very original but as others have said, I choose my biggest bags based on market cap and project strength. BTC and ETH are self-explanatory, we all know they set the course for the entire crypto ecosystem.

I have a good stock of EVMOS, I believe a lot in its potential and I am rather bullish on it, I can't wait to see if I will be wrong or not in the next bullrun. I had the chance to stack it when it was still bringing 190% APY, I don't know what is the APY now, I unstaked it a while ago, and I've kind of forgotten about it since...

Otherwise I always keep some MATIC, XRP, BAT and XMR.
I was able to fill up on ONE when it was 1 cent, I don't believe it at all, but I consider it a lottery.
I convert some dusts into some memecoin, and other shitcoins, but I sell back to every pump, I'm just looking to increase the value of my dusts. It works pretty well, but I am well aware that it is pure gambling.

I am increasingly considering buying cryptos from the ISO200022 family in view of the release of the MICA law in Europe, I think these cryptos will make a nice pump at that time (XRP, IOTA, HBAR etc..)

Well I understand your point but I won't be against paying my taxes with BTC. I would, of course, not share my main wallet which I use to hold my BTC with them.

I have a wallet which is the least active as possible, and I wouldn't appreciate the idea of the government knowing his existence

Nope, still on time  

Added you on the list, good luck dear !

EDIT : Just realized that you were already on the list

Did you tried with this fork of cgminer ?

Haha pareil j'étais convaincu que tu étais une femme elma ! C'est fou comme on est formatés à penser qu'un nom finissant par un A soit automatiquement féminin 

Perso pour mon pseudo je pense qu'il n'y a pas besoin d'explications... Maintenant que c'est fait j'aimerais bien pouvoir en changer mais au moins, ça fera un souvenir 

Thank you for the update. I already have 5 posts in the Gambling section, and will have at least 2 or 3 more today  as my BTC giveaway is ending today

I am staying at your disposal if anything is problematic and wish you a good day !

EDIT : Thank you Royse777 for the clear explaination on Telegram ! Always a pleasure to work with you ! Payment well received !

List updated

Thank you to all participants, will select a block in around 3 hours !

Good luck to you all !

Are you talking about KYC process ?

There is no reason to be russophobic, I think that all people ask for the same thing: to live a quiet life, not to lack anything, and to be in peace.
When we see the number of Russians who left Russia, I think that confirms this theory.

For me, there is no reason to hate the Russian people, during all my visits to Russia, I was extraordinarily welcomed by villagers and lovely Babushkas who invited to eat, drink, and who took time to tell me about their past life in form-USSR and actual Russia. This was more that interesting.

On the other hand, it is clear that many citizens (in Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya etc..) have good reasons to hate Russian politicians and government.
I think that anyone with a brain is able to make a difference between the people and their government, even more so when you know how the Kremlin propaganda works, you can't blame a part of the people for being biased.

I imagine that Russophobia has origins dating back to the communist era, and that Putin's recent actions will not help some Westerners to not fall into the trap of mixing population and government.

In my country (I live in Bulgaria), the vast majority of people are clearly opposed to the invasion of Ukraine, but they are not russophobics. We should not underestimate people, it is not because 10 idiots make a lot of noise being racist towards Russians, that the majority of people are like them, quite the contrary.

Well done, you're doing something good, and I'm sure useful for your community! It's really cool that your boss has kept his word, and is open to what you're proposing.

 Even aside from the "BTC /crypto" aspect, educating people about the financial system and how it works is something priceless.
Those who take a close interest in bitcoin, have from my point of view, a better understanding of the system they are subjected to on a daily basis: inflation, basic concepts of supply and demand etc..

I hope you will continue to get together from time to time and discuss how Bitcoin really works, it could be of great benefit to your community.
Have you thought about creating a donation wallet?
Another question, are you thinking of continuing these lessons? Are you interested in how the Lightning Network works and its potential application in your community? Don't you think filming your meetings and brainstorming could be useful? It would allow other people to benefit from it, and for you to keep a record of it.

In any case I wish you a great continuation. The adoption of bitcoin will inevitably go through this kind of initiatives!

Je demande ça sans aucune condescendance mais c’est quelque chose que je ne comprends pas, en tout cas ça m’échappe et je me demande si je rate quelque chose.

Ça ne vous fatigue jamais de suivre le cours de BTC au jour le jour et de chercher les raisons / corrélations sur les mouvements de prix ?

Personnellement les mouvements de 6 – 10 – 15 % je ne cherche même pas à les comprendre, je regarde les cours sur le mois et j’attends les halvings pour m’y pencher de près.
Ça doit être une source d’angoisse non nécessaire (de mon point de vue) de suivre les cours sur 24h, surtout que si tu n’es pas un daily trader, il y a peu d’intérêt non ?

Je sais que tout le monde n’est pas en mode « Je stocke du BTC sur un hardware wallet et j’attends » mais je me demande le bénéfice tiré d’une telle précision dans la surveillance des indicateurs et du cours. De mon point de vue, on sait tous plus ou moins qu’on a de fortes chances d’être gagnants sur du long terme, pourquoi s’intéresser aux micros mouvements dans ce cas ?

Bonne journée
