You know how you can find out that someone hasn't read a single post in the thread they posted in? When someone on page 22 of the topic (or page 12) quotes the entire OP post and writes something nonsensical, then you realize that he has not read anything and that he is not interested in other opinions.
In my opinion, it is quite logical that you try to read as many posts as possible in the topic in which you are going to post something, because that way you will avoid post something that others have already posted, and thus you show that you are not one of those who are only interested in the title of the topic.
Let's say, for example, the topic of El Salvador in the Bitcoin discussion is an obvious example of people not reading anything written even in the last few posts, because despite the fact that that country abolished the status of Bitcoin as a legal tender more than a year ago and that it was written dozens of times in the topic, some still believe in what is written in the title of the topic.

Are you wondering how the powerful Russian army is losing on all fronts in Ukraine? If you watch the following video and compare a Russian and a Ukrainian soldier, you will quickly realize that Russian soldiers look similar to 80 years ago, while Ukrainian ones are completely modern and professional, and they behave accordingly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7OMI5LPhCI (‘COME OUT UNARMED AND HANDS UP.’ Azov Recon Platoon Conducts Sweep in the Toretsk Sector) Some more news from the land of absurdity Russia should restore the Soviet practice of youth labor camps to keep schoolchildren occupied during the summer, Moscow’s Children’s Rights Commissioner Olga Yaroslavskaya stated, according to The Moscow Times report on June 2.
Speaking on the “Govorit Moskva” radio station, Yaroslavskaya argued the camps would provide employment and structure for teenagers, particularly those whose parents cannot afford to give them a “three-month fiesta.” To justify the proposal, she cited her own childhood experience in a Soviet labor camp. The proposal to put children to work aligns with a state-sponsored militarization of Russian youth. Russian educational institutions—including general schools and even kindergartens—have previously spent nearly $170 million on drone training equipment since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began.
Drone assembly and piloting were formally added to the national curriculum in 2024, effectively transforming classrooms into early training grounds for future military drone operators as the Kremlin continues to burn through personnel on the frontline. --- Extreme scenarios involving a potential nuke strike were outlined by Russian ultranationalist Alexander Dugin and oligarch Konstantin Malofeev at St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) wrote on June 3.
According to ISW experts, the "good" scenario for the Russians, as envisioned by Dugin and Malofeev, includes Russian occupation of Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, and other Ukrainian cities by 2036, along with the collapse of the European Union. This scenario also incorporated other Kremlin narratives about an allegedly inevitable victory in Ukraine.
The "bad" scenario featured in the presentation included a military defeat for Russia in Ukraine, Ukraine's accession to NATO, the loss of Russian influence over post-Soviet countries by 2036, and the "colonization of Russia" by 2050.
The "inertial" scenario predicted that Russia will use nuclear weapons by 2036 if the military situation in Ukraine remained unchanged. The ISW noted that this effectively serves as a threat to deploy Russian nuclear weapons against Ukraine if the war continues on its current trajectory. When you read this, you will understand what kind of sick minds we are talking about here, especially if it is known that the people in question are very close to Putler.

I forgot to mention 2010! It could have benefit back then more than enough compare to now.. anyhow I will try to cut off my smoking expense as well because I do smoke a cigarette or two on daily bases. Little savings might bring big changes in someone's life.. it literally matters. Many drops make an ocean. Thankyou for understanding and support..
A cigarette or two a day is not something you can save on, a pack or two is a different story. It may sound strange, but sometime in 2014/15, a friend of mine told me that he spends about $200 on cigarettes, alcohol and coffee every month - and I told him to buy 1 BTC for that money - of course he didn't listen to me. If you have a plan, you think long-term, and if you are persistent, it can pay off one day.

~snip~ Curious to know what we all think, do we think we are in for a red summer or are we near the bottom at $62k?
In the current circumstances, when all the big players are apparently selling, it seems to me that the summer could be a red one in every sense - except for the temperatures being hellish, I wouldn't be surprised if the price of BTC sinks even lower. When we have millions of coins in the possession of a few funds and one company, then we have a problem that we didn't have before - any negativity from that direction affects the price, even when it comes to a trivial 32 BTC.

All of you who live in peace and have no idea what war is except that you watched it on television, talk nonsense and defend someone who supports an insane terrorist regime that has been destroying everything in front of it for more than 4 years. Whether or not someone should get a red tag for that is a matter of individual choice (regardless of the fact that the system is not intended for that purpose), so the OP should read what the admin wrote and activate his like-minded supporters to remove @ico from the position he is in.
Honestly, it's really strange to me that the admin appeared in this thread at all, because I don't remember the last time he wrote a post in this board - but considering the great sympathy he has for the Russian community on this forum, maybe it's not so strange.

~snip~ Hal Finney shouldn't be compared with Satoshi Nakamoto, we don't how know how he chose to keep his recovery seed before he passed away, someone using Hal Finney bitcoin address is different from someone using Satoshis Bitcoin address.
Why not? Hal may have left his Bitcoin inheritance to his children, and the Satoshi keys may be lying in some old computer gathering dust somewhere in the attic until someone finds it one day. The thing is, anyone who has the private key can say that they are the person who is the real owner. About satoshis account been banned or locked, why is that? I thought he created this forum? Or it's one of those security protocol to avoid possible account access in the future? Anyways.
As far as I know, the reason is probably because the forum has already been hacked a few times in the past and Satoshi's account is too important to let someone take it over even for a short time. If you thought someone wanted to prevent him from logging into the forum, that's not the case - he just needs to confirm that it's really him.

The price of petrol is approximately 1 and a half dollar in my country. I don't have a car instead i have a bike that needs about 2 litre of petrol per day. So i was just thinking why not to become a pedestrian and invest the expenses of petrol in bitcoin. ~snip~
The idea makes sense - because not only will you save $3 a day if you use your bike every day, but you'll also be doing something for your health and the health of others by not polluting the air around you. Why stop there - if you smoke, stop smoking, if you drink alcohol regularly, stop drinking it or reduce it to a minimal level. This way you can save a few hundred $ per month that you can invest in anything. It paid off for me a long time ago, when the price of Bitcoin was only a few hundred dollars. I saved a lot just by quitting smoking and cutting down on alcohol, and of course, starting to bike and walk more. Good luck if you go in that direction.

~snip~ Edit: side note i am not promoting/supporting war, invasion, killing/harming civilians. Lets not attempt to lie in order to sidetrack the issue at hand
Not only are you doing that, but you're also talking about some kind of war that is the most humane so far, even though your executioners are in most cases targeting civilian targets, as is evident in many videos. In an official statement, the President of Ukraine stated the number of 707 children killed and 2548 injured since the start of the full invasion in 2022. Where do you see anything humane here? Civilian casualties are always terrible, and should always be minimized and ideally eliminated! But objectively speaking, when comparing to other conflicts in intensity (missiles, artillery, drones, bombs dropped), duration, and civilian to military losses, this objectively might be the most "humane", as in the war with the least civilian casualty rates ever. But no one seems to be concerned with facts here.

~snip~ It's possible that a member or admin could review my DMs and confirm; if so, I authorize them to read it!
I had a situation where I received a PM from a Legendary member saying he wanted to sell me his account and he claimed that I had contacted him via Telegram about it. Of course, that was not true and I did as you did and made it public - and luckily the doubts that I had something about it were at least partially removed when one of the global mods confirmed at my request that the PM I posted was authentic. My opinion is that you don't need that kind of help - because the fact that someone wants to buy your account is not your problem, but theirs.

~snip~ It doesn't cost a thing. Log in to Nakamoto's Bitcointalk account. Sign messages using Nakamoto's very own Bitcoin wallet address.
It's not as simple as it seems. As far as I know, Satoshi's account is somehow banned/locked so that the real owner cannot just log in even if he wants to without proving that it is really his account. Furthermore, even if a signed message appears from one of the BTC addresses that are connected to Satoshi, who can say with certainty that it is really Satoshi and not someone who came into possession of his private keys? For those who don't know, someone signed a message with the BTC address used by Hal Finney more than ten years after his death, but it certainly wasn't him unless he thawed out of the cryogenic chamber, invented a cure for his illness, and recovered.

Never cared enough about Trust to delve too deep into this, so please do point me in the right direction if this is not the right place to post this.
I'm requesting to remove icopress from DT list! He's clearly abusing his/her DT status to leave me negative feedback for my political views in the "Politics & Society" subforum. I never traded, promised or did any transactions with that user, his/her actions seem strictly politically motivated. You can demand as much as you want (although you obviously have no idea how the forum works), but you and others like you who justify and at the same time promote aggression, occupation, systematic destruction and killing of civilians did not even deserve anything better than to be branded. I still chose neutral feedback since it's more appropriate for me, but I understand @icopress who is a direct victim of what you tirelessly defend.

I don't know if I understood correctly, but your problem is that you "have" to post on boards that contain topics/posts that you consider "shit"? Look, it's not that there isn't really a lot of garbage in the Gambling board, but I'm occasionally active there (not because I have to), and there are always some topics that don't have xx/xxx pages where you can join the discussion.
In fact, the real problem is that someone demands a certain number of posts in a certain board - I consider it counterproductive considering the amount of spam that is "produced" there on a daily basis. Those posts would have much more visibility in some other parts of the forum.

~snip~ The flaw in the TROPIC01 is only theoretical under real world conditions. In my opinion, Trezor hardware wallets are still some of the safest places to store crypto because of their commitment to security and transparency.
If these are vulnerabilities that cannot be exploited remotely then I can somewhat agree with your statement, but if someone wants maximum security for their private keys they will not agree to anything other than air-gapped wallets. When you store your keys offline and back them up securely, you don't have to worry about any vulnerabilities affecting the device that stores your private keys because they have never been exposed to the internet.

@OmegaStarScream, have you found out why such a message appeared at all, considering that your device is not compromised? Experienced people probably won't panic when they see something like that, but there are certainly people who could have a strong panic attack in case of such a message, especially if the device stores private keys of great value.

I am concerned that Bitcoin has failed to meet some of its promises (for political, not functional reasons) which sadly, may validate some of your worst concerns. If it actually was peer-to-peer electronic cash, it may have got a boost from this AI craze. However, none other has superseded it so perhaps not.
Sorry that I repeat myself, but BTC has been fucked with since the derivatives were created. Most of the people here remember BTC's explosive upside potential that existed until (actually exactly the same day) the derivatives appeared. They said they'll tame it and they did. They have been pressing BTC in the same frame as any other asset they control. I wouldn't be surprised if the "digital gold" narrative instead of p2p cash has been pushed by the same people all along... I think you are not far from the truth - because Bitcoin, as the idea of a decentralized digital cryptocurrency, has been the target of various "agencies" and interest groups from the beginning. What was published by the most famous whistleblower (ES) clearly shows that the most powerful US agencies have seriously devoted themselves (and are probably still engaged today) to creating tools that will be able to efficiently analyze Bitcoin (blockchain) with the aim of determining the identity of those who make transactions on it. Whether it was just the first step towards somehow bringing Bitcoin under control is perhaps less important, because today the mainstream media mostly write about BTC as digital gold, and powerful companies show how huge money can be made from it. If the average Joe ever believed that a decentralized payment system could exist, today that idea is fading. However, I think that too much attention is paid to the price, which, regardless of the current value, is still so high that it has exceeded the expectations of at least 90% of people who have ever heard of Bitcoin in the past ten years.

The world will not be a better or worse place if such an organization ceases to exist, because apart from pretending to do something useful, their influence on the world is quite insignificant. I'm not saying there aren't people among them who are doing something good, but most of them are just ordinary parasites and leeches who spend a lot of money without making any positive change in society.
Let them be financed by donations from ordinary people and let them see how much these same people value them.

Some Russians say that it is not true that Ukraine currently has at least 20-30 drones for every Russian soldier in Ukraine, but maybe they should look at the situation on the battlefield - Magyar Birds hunt and document all their actions. All those who do not lay down their weapons and go home will sooner or later hear the same sound, and unfortunately that will be the last thing they hear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qAJs1lZVqU (Shobla of the Week, Episode 45.

After a poor performance and defeat against Belgium, Croatia plays its last friendly match before the World Cup against Slovenia on Sunday. The match against Belgium worried Croatian fans because Croatia looked slow, predictable and without real rhythm and play. The match against Slovenia, a traditionally unpleasant opponent for Croatia, is the last chance to show good play and improve the atmosphere before the start of the World Cup.
The Croatian national team has problems of its own making - because if Dalic says "only those players who are fully fit will play", how do players who haven't played football for months or more than a year fit into that? If you build a team around players who are over 40 or a little under then you can't expect young players to gain experience because they don't get enough minutes, and consequently you have players who are slow and don't have enough experience. Belgium took advantage of this, as did Brazil - especially when the concentration of the players starts to drop drastically towards the end of the game. The match with Slovenia is almost irrelevant, because the real test will be against England in less than two weeks.
