Any centralized website has a chance of deciding to censor you. It’s everywhere now, all over social media too. It really cranked up during covid, all that fact checker nonsense. This is the world we live in now, it’s far from just bitcoin, it’s everything. So many cry babies get offended about little things, strong minded people are now the minority.

Rug pull scams "pumping up" a new project, nonfungible token (NFT) or coin to get funding. After the scammers get the money, they disappear with it. The coding for these investments prevents people from selling the bitcoin after purchase, so investors are left with a valueless investment.
It’s been happening for years. This is why you need to do extensive research before you FOMO into random alts. To be honest, it’s better to just stick with bitcoin or mainstream alts. Lots of the lesser known coins are a minefield of scams.

My simple suggestion is to do your own research. These supposed chart analysts & influencers don’t really know s**t. How many of them predicted the top of the last bitcoin bull run price to be so low? Answer is none of them. Seriously these crypto signals are just noise. Buy & HODL, that’s the way.

You can’t beat Step Brothers, starring Will Ferrell & John C Reilly. I’m not huge on comedy movies but this is a genuinely laugh out loud movie.
Anything with Will Ferrell in is genuinely hilarious, for example Get Hard with Ferrell & Kevin Hart is great.

I wouldn’t advise using a third party, it’s asking for trouble. My advice would be choose a complex mix of words & numbers, special characters that mean something to you. A mixture of upper & lower case. Write it down in a couple of places that nobody will find it.

Bitcoin has been a shining light in my life, a real saviour. I have so many opportunities that would not have been possible in my life if I didn’t discover bitcoin so early. I thank Satoshi for everything he did, his genius & innovation. I also thank the guy who told me about bitcoin.
I try my best to educate others so they can also gain a better life.

My advice would be to stop ‘trading.
When I say that, I mean you should be buying a HODLING for many years. It’s the only sure fire way to guarantee profit, very handsome profit too. Actively buying & selling, buying back & selling, back & forth is the best way to become broke. Nobody can control the markets movements so buy regularly & HODL.
Forget about ‘trading’.

Never heard of any of them myself. Probably very risky investments, all of them. The only advice I’d give is to do extensive research before investing in these type of projects. I have seen many pump & dump schemes in my ears in crypto. Be careful in the jungle.

I do, not much better than a BBQ in the summer. Meat tastes great on a BBQ, the smoky taste stays on it even when you add sauce.
Always great to have a coal fire BBQ with friends in the summer months.

Fiat banks are government controlled spyware.
‘You will own nothing & be happy’ Klaus Schwab
You are controlled & stolen from every year via inflation. Sure we need fiat for every day purchases in most countries but that will lessen & lessen. Bitcoin is here to stay, deflationary & decentralised. Take control of your own finance & self custody.

Boggles my mind how these CEOs think exit scamming would be a great idea. It's not like he's an anonymous founder of a DeFi platform, he's literally a doxxed owner of a centralized exchange. Yea you've hauled a huge amount of money, but how would you even live a normal life lol knowing that you're being pursued by the authorities.
I suppose they think they can alter their identity & maybe get fake documents with another ID. For a start it’s sub-human to exit scam but it’s just a terrible life to always be on the run, looking over your shoulder. No amount of money justifies exit scamming & hurting so many people. I’m glad he has been arrested & hope he gets a long jail sentence.

I’ll pass on this, it looks quite cool but if i am to spend $400,000 on anything it won’t be something worn on my wrist. To buy something like this you must be worth $20,000,000 or more to justify it. I mean you can buy a home for $400,000 or even just a bunch of bitcoin which will be worth at least 3 or 4 x current price in a few years.

Monero is great but I just don’t think it has any real future. Exchanges hate it & most delisted it due to government pressure. It really works, it’s bulletproof but it’s not going to be allowed to prosper due to it’s anonymity.

As others have said, it’s really not that unusual. It’s also not Satoshi era, I’m seeing 2013 as the first transactions. Lots of early adopters still around with fat stacks of bitcoin. Admittedly that is a really big stack but these people do walk amongst us
