Well, if you can give over a Billion Dollars to Israel to build a "Iron Dome" and to fund the Ukraine to fight the Russians and also spend more than 1 Trillion Dollars on the war in Afghanistan.... then you have to get the money from somewhere.  It is expensive to be the global hero in all the conflicts in the world, but I guess Crypto currencies should also contribute to funding these wars, because it's the tax payers that are paying these bills. Imagine all that money going into a cheaper Health care system for their own people or proper funding to combat crime and drugs. |

This is my perspective on what it means to be rich..... 1. You have enough money to pay all your expenses. 2. Your investments cover those expenses. (money generated from that) 3. You do not have to work for the money... your money works for you. 4. You have good health 5. You have the love of a family and a lot of true friends. (not fake friends) 6. You have zero debt 7. You can "Pay it Forward" (fund charities or help other people with donations) 8. You are true to your religion. Once you achieve these 8 things in life, you are rich in my opinion.... and you will prosper in life.  |

My friends in South Africa says this might just be a huge misunderstanding ... because the front row are using scrum signals that are spoken in Afrikaans. Bongi might have said "Wyd kant" .....which means "wide side" in English and that signal shows the players that understand that signal, which side of the scrum ...will use what tactic. "Curry" cannot understand the Afrikaans language, so he misinterpreted what Bongi has said..... and Bongi cannot respond to him, because that will reveal the strategy that the South Africans are using in the scrums. Rassie Erasmus is Afrikaans and we know he is a Rugby genius, so he will teach the players to use signals that other players from other countries will not understand. |

I found the source, but I was wondering why the OP didn't mention it - so although I assume he forgot, when I see who is involved in journalism today, maybe sometimes it makes sense to hide the sources and attribute everything to "unknown author".
I assume that in the next months we will be waiting for a bunch of reports from various "researchers" who will try to hit the target, considering the price of BTC, everything smells of a new FOMO.
Thank you for pointing out that I missed the source to the information. I was just Googling the latest news and I saw a article on the influence that the approval of the ETF might have on the future price and I posted it. Thank you #stompix for filling in the gap there.. much appreciated. I edited the post and added the source. (looks like the one I found with Google) |

It will depends on when this happens.... If it happens now.. in this year, many people...including myself will be VERY rich and we will be set for life. I will be able to go on early Pension and enjoy the rest of my life. If this happens 20 or 50 years from now.... inflation would have killed the value of the Dollar so much that $1 000 000 would be worth almost nothing. So, I hope Bitcoin reach the Moon ...soon.  |

Well, Cointelegraph lost a lot of credibility with this "fake" news that were posted online. The SEC said, they will post something on their official communication channels, if there are something that needs to be reported. The Bitcoin price climbed a little bit and now it recovered and someone made a little bit of profit.... and everything is back to normal. The lesson that we should take away from this ===> Verify all news, before you react to it.  |

I think I have read somewhere that Cointelegraph investigated this and they found out that there were some Intern working there, that posted the unverified information. I think some Intern are made the scapegoat for this, because they will never admit that it was someone from their editorial staff that posted this. In any way, mistakes were made and they were left red-faced and hopefully an incident like this will prevent something like this from happening again. |

he said, he thought Satoshi was some Japanese guy He definitely was. I have many confirmations for that fact. First, start from "readme.txt" in "BitCoin v0.01 ALPHA" (yes, that 0.01 version is present here, which is also significant, and explains, why the magic number 100 is used as a version number separator). But in the "src" folder, there is another "readme.txt", and you can read there: Compilers Supported
-------------------
MinGW GCC (v3.4.5)
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 SP6 That second compiler was most likely used by Satoshi, because there were "std::min" and "std::max" issues in the source code, that were specific to "Visual C++" compiler. And, guess what, if you try to find that compiler, you will find this one: https://archive.org/details/microsoft-visual-c-6.0-standard-editionThen, guess what: installing it on a non-Japanese Windows XP is a disaster, and ends up with displaying all of those characters as "?". Also, it explains "¥" character, that was present in paths, instead of slashes/backslashes. If you don't believe me, then try to find another "Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 SP6" version anywhere: you will notice, that this Japanese version is the most popular one. And if you want to use it, you need a Japanese version of Windows, because in other cases, the whole installation process will be very painful. Also, if you try to run "BitCoin" client on Windows XP, you will notice a lot of things. For example, that running more than one instance of "0.01" version is not that easy, as you could expect, because the port 8333 will be already used by the first instance, and the whole traffic management requires activating another "main" function, and some other changes like that, or some weird stuff like "port forwarding". Also, by exploring more things, you can note that Windows XP with Japanese language version, was used on his physical machine, and no VirtualBox or other virtualization tool was there. But, first things first, installing the same compiler as Satoshi, the same tool for PDF as Satoshi, and other things like that, should give you enough proofs to start with. And if you need a proof that Satoshi really used those things, then explore file metadata, and note that if you want to fake everything, it is extremely painful to do that correctly, and it is then easier to just use the real tools without tampering with the data. There are many Japanese people living in other countries and most of them can speak and write English..... and somebody as intelligent as Satoshi Nakamoto, might even speak more languages. The fact that he was so pissed about the "Bailouts" makes me think that he might be from one of the Western countries, because it is closer to home. (I use a Male description .. but it can be a female or a group of people) |

Bitcoin spot ETF launch could drive $155 billion in fresh money into BTC market " A researcher has predicted up to $155 billion in fresh money injection into the BTC market should the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approve the launch of a spot BTC ETF. In his opinion, the capital inflow would signify a new wave of institutional adoption in the flagship crypto’s market. " " Setting the timeframe for March 2024 at, the latest, the researcher says the probability of approval continues to increase as time goes by, with the Grayscale and Ripple (XRP) court wins in their respective legal battles providing strong hindwings." I think we are in for a good ride, if Grayscale can pull this off.... so make sure you are buying some cheap coins... before this happens. The recovery of the Bitcoin price to above $30 000 ..is a good sign and the Halving is around the corner. Edited : Fck... forgot to post the source. Hope this was the correct one ==> https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/bitcoin-spot-etf-launch-could-drive-155-billion-in-fresh-money-into-btc-market-researcher-says-202310210546

My advice to you will be to focus on the basic necessities that people need in a War scenario.... namely ==> Food & Drinks. People go into survival mode when there are a war, so I will provide safe shelter for people in need and also food and something to drink. You should not exploit these people with high prices, because you just need to help where you can. I will also convert my profits into Bitcoin to protect my wealth, because Banks are not safe during a war and trying to hide your wealth in a war torn country is just stupid..... because you will lose everything if you have to flee the country. |

I don't like these long lists of bets because the probability of losing increases exponentially with the number of games. this approach pushes users to risk more than necessary. I always suggest playing single events, victory is more easy and there is no risk that a single event could ruin everything Well, you might not like it, but OP profited with more than $40 on a bet of a few cents..... and that is the reason why people make multi bets like this. The chance of hitting these are smaller, but when you pull it off, it is huge. I normally "cash out" early, when I successfully predict the first couple of bets and I see that I have a huge profit to take.... but you stuck it out and you were rewarded. (Well Done... Enjoy your win) |

What a complicated web we weave ..... Who is the original developer of the code and did he give consent that his work could be sold? We cannot just take someone else's original code and then do some updates and start selling it, without their consent. A buyer of the code can also not re-sell the code or even give it out for FREE, if he or she is not the owner of that code. So, both of you are in the wrong with this one.... My advice will be to get the inputs from the original owner of the code and to find out if it is public domain or proprietary ownership. |

There are not a lot to prepare for, because the Halving usually only have a little impact on the price. You will see a slight increase in the run up to the Halving and then it will be all over. This small spike in the price are linked to the increased media attention that this event are giving to Bitcoin. I use my wallet almost every day, so I always have access to it... but I will have to shift some coins from cold storage, if the affect on the price are significant this time. |

I think there are a much bigger picture being missed here.... The enemies of the USA know that the USA are always rushing in to help, where ever there are conflict in the world. The assistance normally come in the form of financial or humanitarian help or weapons and ammunition to help in the war. So, what we have here is a situation where the USA are helping in the Ukraine and Israel and they gave more than $1 Trillion to Afghanistan. (USA basically funded the "Iron Dome" in Israel) What does this do to the military power and economy of the USA? This aid are weakening the USA and his enemies are getting stronger. By the time when WWIII happens, USA will be much weaker from fighting and aiding in other countries.  |

I make sure I add something to the verification documents to track back the source, if that information is re-used by the receiver. That way, I can use that as evidence in a court case, if I have to do that. (water marked or changed back drops or small text or markers) You do not have any guarantee that they will not misuse your information or that they will track you down, but you can protect yourself, if they misuse that information. |

Sorry guys but I don't know what you are still arguing about! It's obvious that OP has been scammed but it appeared that stake has nothing to do with this scam. What are you still arguing about?
I'm not going to read the replies on the past eight pages but am sure this topic doesn't deserve such attention
. OP should change the topic's title to make it more appropriate as stake has nothing to do with whatever happened to him.
Well, I am glad he unlocked the thread again, because a new Phishing attack was launched in the same time that the post monthly was given out. These attacks are timed perfectly to trick people, when something are officially dropped by Stake. (Stake has nothing to do with this, but the scammers jump on the opportunity to confuse people, when there are other bonuses being dropped) So, reminding people regularly about these Phishing attacks are a good idea... and it should be done more often. We need some "White hat" hacker groups to go after these scammers, so that they are held responsible for their actions. |

I think this scenario are very similar to the affect that the Halving has on the Bitcoin price. By the time when the actual Halving happens, most of the price increase has already been "priced in" ...because people knew that the event would happen. So, the ETF approval will have the same affect... where the perception will be that it will be approved and people will buy early to get cheaper coins, before the price increase. |

My best advice to you is not to buy when the price is high... just buy low and sell high. A lot of people will buy say $50 of bitcoins every month and that would be fine, but at what price are they buying? I would buy a small amount of bitcoins every month, say $30 and save $20 worth of cash to buy when there are a dip in the price. Use $50 on your self, because I think your Dad gave it to you for a reason... not just to buy bitcoins. |
