I don't think it was love at first sight. It might be that she values financial security more than looks and attractiveness. But who knows for certain. Also after some years of marriage she might actually live him, but at first sight I don't believe it.

It is indeed a love at fight sight with the wealth rather than the man.  Smiley
I am sure the girl will have many hidden relations with other men to satisfy her sexual needs as this man can only give him wealth and money.
1422  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHO CAN SHUTDOWN BITCOIN? on: December 11, 2020, 08:23:24 AM
The Simple answer is no. The government or anyone else can not shutdown Bitcoin. They can make the use of bitcoin harder.

Bitcoin lives by nodes. Until the last node is off or destroyed completely, Bitcoin is alive. Imagine, you and I have two nodes (one each) and all other nodes were destroyed by a catastrophic incident. Bitcoin is not still dead because you and me still can exchange our coins.

There are 10858 NODES alive currently. This means to shut-off Bitcoin, anyone will need to shut down these 10858  nodes. Even if they were able to shut down all these nodes, who will guarantee that there are no saved copy to individuals?

So, get 99.999% sure that it's not possible to shut down Bitcoin.

The only way to shutdown the nodes is to shutdown the whole world internet. Can this be done ?  Theoretically Yes, but practically No.

As long a there is internet exists, its impossible to shutdown the bitcoins. That's the power of decentralization.
1423  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I quit smoking and buy Bitcoin every week on: December 11, 2020, 08:06:00 AM
Hey folks,

I decided to quit smoking today and buy Bitcoin every Sunday. A pack of cigarettes I smoke is 8€. It cost me 56€ per week. So every Sunday, I will buy Bitcoin without checking if the price went up or down. Even if it goes to the moon, I will keep buying. I will edit this post frequently in the future. This Sunday I will start investing 56€ in Bitcoin every  Sunday. I will keep this doing as long as possible and let's see what is going to happen.

I believe that at least I will invest in something that I believe, instead of wasting money on unhealthy cigarettes. Maybe some of you can do the same.

Wish me luck Cool

Although the amount of saving which you get each week is very minimal but in the long term duration (3-7 years), you may be a millionaire with this little amount of your savings.
A more positive side is that you have quit smoking which is not very easy. I never saw a person who have the habit of smoking, quitting it permanently. I will give your example to my friends who are in the habit of smoking.

As per the OP email, https://trustwallet.com/beta/ is a legit site while secure data is a fake site. Is it right ?
Both domain names are too much different and anyone should really recognize it as a phishing site.

By the way is there any benefit of joining the trust wallet beta program ?
1425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 11, 2020, 07:24:55 AM
When playing good in a T20 tournament fetches you good money and spot recognition why will these younger players concentrate on longer format? There are more fans of T20 globally than five days tournament and that is one of the primary reason these younger guys are concentrating and putting more effort in the shorter format. BCCI will only concentrate on format that earns them a lot of money and viewership. So, I doubt they will be focusing more in the loger format.

Financially, the T20 format may be important for the cricketers. But if they are more concerned about the fame, then they should not overlook the longer format. When someone talks about the stats (highest number of runs, top wicket takers), they always mention about these stats from the test cricket. I have almost never heard about anyone talking about the T20I stats.

I think all three formats of the cricket are important and therefore we see all the series consists of T20, One day and  test matches. Each game has its own importance and give you entertainment. You will never feel bored if you are seeing a test match between nations like India and Australia.
Test matches in India, Australia, England and New Zealand are very enjoyable. But Test matches in other countries are not exciting. Countries like Bangladesh, West Indies and Sri Lanka are far behind in the Test format. When these countries host a Test series with Australia or England the series becomes very one-sided. ODI or t20 matches are much more exciting than this and everyone enjoys it.

But what about the countries like Sri, WI, Bangladesh play test series between them. Since these countries have similar sort of talent, the test matches will still be interesting however the audience will be limited to only the playing nations only.
When these teams play test matches between them, it gets to be more interesting on few matches and used to go one sided in few matches. In any one of the match Bangladesh will make promising win against the Sri Lanka or West Indies. This will be enjoyed by the entire country, but the very next match goes very worse. This is where the interesting thing of the match gets lost.

Its obvious that some matches between these countries will be one sided and other will be thrillers. You will not find all the matches to be nail biting one. Even, you will find some one sided matches between England, Australia and India too but the ratio will be less.

Bitcoin has proved it once again that it's the key player in the world of crypto and prices of altcoins depends of bitcoin, we witnessed it yesterday wherein bitcoin's value dropped which caused huge fluctuations in the value of altcoins and even drove altcoins to red zone but when Bitcoin quickly regained the value he altcoin market got steady.

Sometimes we don't see pump in the value of altcoins when Bitcoin surges but whenever there is a adrop in the value of Bitcoin it definitely causes chaos to altcoin market.

You will not find much dump in the bitcoin prices because institutions are ready to buy every dip. The altcoin market is not so good these days because of high bitcoin dominance. In coming days, bitcoin will cross all time high so its best time to accumulate as many bitcoins as possible.

1428  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin used by Criminals to sophisticate their footprints on: December 10, 2020, 12:04:22 PM
I am an advocate for Bitcoin and It pleases me to tell people about Bitcoin. But there are issues we need to attend to. Bitcoin was created as a means of payment, and some people are using it for that purpose. Unfortunately, this includes criminals. The rate at which criminals use Bitcoins to enhance their operation and make their footsteps sophisticated is just increasing! Haven't you heard that "Bitcoin is a scam"? This phrase only comes up because people have been seeing Bitcoin used for such purposes. Bitcoin is available to everyone, so how can we stop/reduce the misuse of cryptocurrency? Considering that KYC is not involved because I and some people prefer being discreet about our identity. So, how can we stop this, and I'd still have my secrecy? This is already rubbing dirt on us and needs to be attended to.

You should not blame the wrong use of currency as a drawback of a currency. Bitcoin can be used in a good sense and in a bad way too. Its up to the end user who uses bitcoin for what purpose. Even if you stop the bitcoin usage, the criminals will still continue the criminal activity using paper currency.

can i sell any of those coins

I don't think they are tradable and even if they were tradable, you have so low quantity that it wont be much use. The only thing you can do is keep holding them and wish one day any of there tokens got good value and you can cash out them.
By the way, where did you collected these token ? Airdrop ? Bounty ?
1431  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What crypto book should I buy? on: December 10, 2020, 09:18:20 AM
Ok, so I want to gift someone a book about cryptocurrencies for Christmas but I am not sure what to get. I want the book to interesting to read and not to complicated and technical so as not to become boring. It should still include everything there is to know about crypto and bitcoin.

What do you guys think I should get? 

I would suggest you to give him some free bitcoins (satoshi's) and link to some YouTube tutorial explaining about bitcoins and crypto currencies.
Giving a book about bitcoin won't be much interesting to anyone who is new to bitcoin. Give hims some real bitcoins, show him its value on preev.com and he will be excited to learn more about them.
1432  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Lowest crypto transaction fees on: December 10, 2020, 09:04:27 AM
Where would you guys recommend buying cryptocurrency for the lowest transaction fees? I've been researching but there's so many sites and a lot of them keep changing their fee structure. It's pretty confusing.

Coinbase seems to be the most popular but their 1.5% transaction fee seems pretty high.

I heard Gemini is good but it seems they recently raised their fees? Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks!

You will not find cheap fee when you are looking to do transaction in and out of exchanges like coinbase or any other site where you want to buy bitcoins. Rather than looking for a low fee tx site, try to buy bitcoin from a reputed site so you are not scammed in the whole process. The tx fee is minimal as compare to your investments in bitcoins.
1433  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is this Love or not ? on: December 06, 2020, 09:45:54 AM
We can only guess without knowing if that is right or not because we are not with that couple. If we are their friend, and we know how their life, maybe we can say that it is love or not. Maybe at first, she really loves him, but as time goes by, sometimes the heart can change, especially if we know that he has "something a lot" than other people. But I don't want to judge love or not, they will find it by themselves.

How would any pretty girl like her would marry a person with so low height ? I could only think that she married him because he is a millionaire.
She would be more interested in his money than the person himself. That's the power of money.

but before the bitcoin how they made their money?Cheesy  Huh Grin Grin


wall street guys?

For sure they were rich before they had bitcoins because only rich person can buy a lot of bitcoins and become whales. Also whales are not necessarily one person. They may be group of persons who maybe running big factories or brands owners. Currently institutions are buying a lot of bitcoins and they maybe the future whales.

Its a decease so brutal, you actually have to test, to find out if you sick. A planed scamdemic.
Its so bad now they need to bribe people, pay $1500 to take the vaccine to have more sic.
Anyone taking the “mark of the beast” deserve it anyway.

I really wish all those people are are taking bribe to give vaccine or taking advantage from this covid-19 pandemic should get infected themselves so they know what it look like to be in such a situation. These people don't deserve to be called humans as their behavior is like animals.  Angry

Anyone can tell me if this India Australia series is telecast live in Pakistan and if so, on which channel ?
PTV Sports (Pakistan National Sports Television) is not covering this series but covering LPL and also will cover South Africa / England series .

You can watch these matches on Sony and Ten Sports if these channels are broadcasted in your country. I can see Pakistan in the below listed countries.


Quote
TV Guide: Sony Six, Sony TEN 1, and Sony TEN 3 to broadcast live coverage of India v Australia three-match One-Day International (ODI), three-match T20 International (T20I), and four-match Test series in India and its subcontinent (Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Maldives, and Bhutan) countries; all matches streamed live in the Indian subcontinent on SonyLiv digital platform (Website, App). Sony Pictures Sports Networks India (SPNI) has bagged exclusive telecast rights for International matches played in Australia; they also acquired OTT (Audio, Video, and other media services via the internet) right.

The easiest way to make money on bitcointalk.org is by participating in bounty campaign such as social media marketing like Twitter, Facebook LinkedIn, Instagram and Telegram and you can also participate in signature campaign!!! There are lots of projects on bitcointalk.org but you have to make your research because there are lots of scam projects!!!

These method will not give you much money and also you cannot earn a living with these methods and also cannot make a career out of it.
If you want to earn good stable income then you should first have some skill and then use this bitcointalk platform to advertise your skill and get orders. This is the best way to earn money from bitcointalk.
1439  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which is better between keeping assets in exchange or personal wallet on: December 06, 2020, 05:30:00 AM
A friend told me few weeks ago to keep my assets in exchange because if the exchange got hacked or my assets are misplaced, the exchange will bear the lose and refund my assets. Just yesterday, someone told me it's a lie that most exchange will go bankrupt if that should happen. I'm really confused right now. More experienced members should please enlighten me.

Good exchanges do have some insurance funds and they can compensate their users if any mishaps happens. An example for such an exchange is Binance who have "SAFU Funds" allocated for this purpose. However small exchanges do not have any funds and you will lose the money in case there is a hack on the exchange.

As a golden rule, you keep only funds which you want to trade frequently on the exchanges and keep your holdings in your desktop or offline wallets.
