I looked through his twitter and found a donation address of 15JHTg6g4zokAM23vJVcL8DbAAjA4BhsLH but I can't see anywhere where his address with the 7500 bitcoins was posted though.

Well to be honest he didn't have much of a choice. The local currency is beyond screwed and obviously any other fiat will eventually end up in the same situation so bitcoins were a logical choice. It's too bad it has to be a bad situation to switch over from the dark side but hey, whatever gets people over right?

Saddens you ? Seriously ? Hey come on man, you are wrong and it is evident , you have no good point and you are the reason for the loss of many people. God will not forgive you , mark my words.
Showing up on an old thread just because you're butthurt is really pathetic. Maybe you should quit spamming for Satoshis and get some self respect. This isn't helping your case. Well this is not for any old thread , better move your ass off this thread if you have some self respect still left. Great comeback. I'm pretty upset now. My hanky is so wet with tears 
I am not evading bans, If I were I would have never reached to a senior position . I was literally banned and yes these were my accounts which were banned as I was not aware how to post quality contents but now I am .
-snip-
Haha I'll just quote that for future reference. Thanks.  that was an easy case to solve. Oh and who's to say you didn't buy this account (and who's to say you won't buy another now)? |

Well it seems that the OP was a little too hopeful. It really doesn't look like we're going to hit $1000 by December. Maybe 6 months from now would be more realistic. Bitcoin price of $1000 has been achieved in India. It just went to $1000 today itself.
Do you mean on exchanges or just that people are paying much above exchange rates? |

That's just normal price fluctuation. Some people bought a bunch of bitcoins then some people sold a bunch. This isn't a huge fluctuation so there's no real reason for it. If a huge country's currency collapsed and bitcoin became their national currency then you would see a big spike in price and there would be an obvious reason for it.

Thats bad because anyone who has access to a mods email account can dox anyone who reported a post under that mods jurisdiction.
My forum email address is bitcointalk@lutp.in (which can also be seen publicly on my profile). Have fun. Omg. Lutpin Doxxed himself. The world is ending.
I don't see the point of it but at the same time when I did a report I thought, who cares? It's not my personal email anyways. Thats bad because anyone who has access to a mods email account can dox anyone who reported a post under that mods jurisdiction.
My forum email address is bitcointalk@lutp.in (which can also be seen publicly on my profile). Have fun. I don't know if this is your real infomation, but the WHOIS shows: -snip- Someone else may use their real information, or their whois protection may expire. On some registrars the whois protection expires before the domain does. Your registrar namecheap is one of those that does this. My point is it can be used to dox SOME people, mainly people who didn't use an anonymous email. I just tried that for my own email and got nothing. Did you just do a reverse search on whois? |

Changing a password is recommended by everyone always. It's more secure that way. Changing an email, who knows. But that's not really proof that the account was sold. I'm not saying that iknow it was or know it wasn't but where's the proof to your accusation?

It is funny that my sends have been confirmed but my web wallets are not receiving them and just showing them as pending. So they are there but my wallet is not accepting them. It is very strange indeed.  Lol that's because your web wallet is terrible. Let me guess, blockchain.info? They always have problems. Maybe it's someone new this time though haha. Try a better wallet explorer (and a better wallet). |

I have not really bought any bitcoin in a while, i have been mostly trading this last year. but i have been trying to buy today from localbitcoins and bittylicious and it has been a real challenge. they want photos of me holding cards on localbitcoins and on bitty they need about 4 different forms of id, what is going on. this is seriously restrictive to anyone wanting to get into bitcoin, like its meant to be pseudonymous but if the gate ways into bitcoin dont allow that people will be put off.  They have been ripped of many times and now trying to protect themselves. A solution is needed to make Bitcoin more accessible, it will arrive soon. And what exactly does that mean? What would your solution to the problem be? If someone on a deserted Island (with Internet somehow) started selling bitcoins without having to follow any laws then we're good to go! The problem is, countries that see someone going to that website will act on that very quickly assuming you're laundering money. Then you'll really be screwed. |

All investment activities and work with finances - is the risk. We need to all be approached wisely and if these risks are reduced
including the lending yeah, when you want to make a profit by providing loans to others, this will give a great risk, but you can minimize by providing certain conditions What certain conditions? I would love to know since we are in the crpyto world or online world and the condition or collateral is not that valuable here. Can you please enlighten me with your explanation as I myself would love to start lending as well but it's not good to take bigger risk. Maybe what he is refferring is the collateral which mostly a Bitcointalk accounts.. Try to analyze the situation, with an account do you think people will still have their account back when it's easy to create new account and even bought new account, maybe it's possible but it is highly discourage in the forum as you are helping to promote possible scammers in the future. This type of collateral is making loans very easy as well as posing a problem to lenders like you have mentioned. But, I believe, the industry of loan has been completely rejuvenated due to this community like how bitcoin has facilitated banking facility to many under developed country people. Being a member of this community, we are simply getting eligible to avail a loan by giving some collateral. The problem is, your collateral isn't like in real life where you have a car or a house that's being held for collateral. It's a digital good that can literally become worthless instantly. If someone puts a negative on the account because they defaulted on a loan, you're screwed. The collateral is now worth nothing. Or what if no one buys the collateral because you're charging too much compared to account farmers? Again, you're going to have to take a loss. That's where it's hard to figure out interest rates, rates of loss etc when you're lending in such a new market (bitcoin lending). |

many users use fixed fees. and they cry now.  Exactly. When you read and someone says "I used the recommended fee... It is and always was X" then you know you're dealing with someone who literally never changes the fee. Look on https://bitcoinfees.21.co for proper fees needs today. Nott yesterday, or last year or on your uncle's birthday. Today. |

You guys deserved to lose your money if you have been an intelligent investors a pig farm is not possible to give you a monthly payment.  Glad this turned into scam already. Lol ok let's not exactly go that far. I wouldn't blame the victim per se, but yes it was pretty obvious. The problem is people thought be cause he actually owned pigs that somehow the high rate of return was achievable. If I start a potato farm and tell you I'll give you 200% ROI in a month you'd be asking me how do you could start your own potato farm lol. If it's too good to be true it most likely is. This is exactly that situation. The early investors got s few payments and then all of them got screwed. Don't incest if there's no way to get your money back. He can't give you a pig if you live on the other side of the world (not that you'd want one rofl). That is not the only reason why people invested. He showed a video with a farm pig structure, some pictures also of the farm progress. It wasn't like any other Ponzi scheme with unreal promises and no proofs. 5% monthly can be real and he promised to pay the income relative to the investment cost in dollar. Example: if someone invested 1 Bitcoin when the BTC was in $600, he would pay $30 monthly until the end, doesn't matter the BTC price variations. Offering 5% monthly (assuming simple interest) is the same as offering a 60% return on investment. If you think that's realistic then you're very naive. If I was running a legitimate business I would offer maybe 5%, 10%, or 15% interest and negotiate from there. I would never give someone 60% interest because I'm not a fool with my money. Obviously the @op isn't either as he just made payments until he had enough 'invested' to run. Sure he has a pig farm. I have no doubt in my mind. But offering 60% return from the beggining is obviously too good to be true. Why not just go to a loan shark? Oh that's right, because when you don't pay back the loan shark you'll have your kneecaps broken. Let this be a lesson to anyone reading. Even if it's a legitimate business that doesn't mean high returns are still possible. Who's to say he couldn't get a loan from a bank because he's 100k in debt already? Or he has terrible credit because he doesn't pay people back? |

Hi!! Excuse me, I WANT TO KNOW, WHERE I COULD BE OBTAIN A eCARD WITH THIS CODE?? 466544?? thanks very much for you help!!
The op will most likely never see this because it was a newbie from months and months ago. Why not start your own thread and ask since it's a different question anyways? |

Bitcoin as of now feels more like property than currency.
It is sort of an investment that you just sit on and then cash out when you want to.
You can literally sit on money too I guess in many developing countries people use dollars as a safe haven and save them under the mattress. On the other hand, the bulk of the US national debt is not in dollars as many erroneously think but in the US Treasuries, i.e. government bonds. It is only calculated in dollars. And these bonds are basically as liquid as the dollar itself, so they can be effectively considered as a type of money, not a property in the strict sense of the word, something which you can use directly, for example, live in the house you bought Exactly. It's a currency because it meets all of the requirements of a currency. Whether governments approve it as a currency or not is irrelevant. If you can break something down, it has value, and many people use it to exchange for goods / services then you have yourself some money! |

So I mostly use paper wallets for storage which is a risk since if I lose the paper then thats it, game over. I been looking for alternatives and a friend told me he simply runs electrum portable from a USB flashdrive only when he needs to send money, then unplugs it meaning that the wallet and the .dat are both offline
Now while is a bit easier to use than a paper wallet the biggest advantage IMHO is that he got a seed so even if he loses the flashdrive he can get his wallet back.
Should I switch to that method? what are the possible vulnerabilities of it?
And before someone mentions "hardware wallet" I live in a country with some heavy import restrictions (on top of fiscal ones) so I rather not order something that could get me questioned by custom officials.
safest wallet for bitcoin is blockchain.. and its official wallet rom bitcoin its 100%safe and easy to use Why do so many people constantly get this wrong and think blockchain.info is the "official" bitcoin wallet, there is no official bitcoin wallet. I would not go telling people that is 100% safe either, that is a misleading statement, bitcoin wallets are only as safe as the computer they were created on and the person that created the wallet. Exactly. Holy shit Blockchain.info is terrible. Look at their past rep. And no they aren't official. Good for them for tricking the newbies of the bitcoin community into thinking they are (mainly because of their name). That was a good business decision on their part. They have sooOoooooOOOOoooo many losses it's ridiculous. The best wallet is a wallet created on a very secure computer or a fresh OS like Linux. If your private key never touched the internet then you can't really get hacked (although then your key is only as safe as your store it). |

You forgot one very important part of your prediction: why?
Did you see something on TV that made you think of this? Or just thought there weren't enough threads made referencing this arbitrary even number of $1000USD?
Yes. $1000 is going to happen. But what happened in the past was a huge surge and right now we're not seeing that. I'm not saying it can't happen, just why do you think it will? I would like to see consistent steady growth IMO rather than a huge surge, crash, then the people that came on board during the surge / crash hate bitcoins now because they lost so much money. You have to remember that people are stupid so if they see the price surging they'll hang on until it crashes back down to a normal value, be pissed about it and never use bitcoins again. A normal rate of adoption would be much much better.

Buying bitcoin was difficult in early days but today any one can buy bitcoin and that too with cash also. I think you have logged in your localbitcoins account after a long break and thus they asked you to verify your identity. Yes, I have also experienced their security measures and couple of times was failed to trade bitcoin but ultimately it’s good thing for us because the more security the more reliability. I will advise you to do verify your identity and then you won’t face any issues like this one.
First, not everyone can buy with cash depending on where you live. Secondly I completely agree that the ID should be updated. If you have nothing to hide (like shady illegal dealings) then it's not a big deal. |

Damn. I wasn't expecting 3 of my posts to be intelligible (and thus my payout being lower).
Very sorry for that, but at these rates, I gotta be firm with the rules. Is there any way for me to make that up? I know I had lots of extra posts in the past.
Not really doing rollovers, and certainly not for 1 or 2 extra posts from each round. They come in handy in rounds like these though, getting 3 denied at 30 still leaves you with a full payment, getting 3 denied at 26 is where the things get more complicated. Ya oh well. I just saw the 0.025 come in and thought I did something wrong. Could you PM me the posts that were denied so I have an idea of what to avoid? Or were there just posts on sections that weren't counted hmm ... Ya oh well. I just saw the 0.025 come in and thought I did something wrong. Could you PM me the posts that were denied so I have an idea of what to avoid? Or were there just posts on sections that weren't counted
You had some meta posts (this posts right here won't be counted next week either). Edit: ah. Meta. I think I had posted a bit in meta. That must be it. Ok good to know for the future! Haha I wouldn't expect these to count don't worry  thanks Lutpin. |
