1081  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much Bitcoin is needed to buy iPhone 15? on: September 13, 2023, 04:54:07 PM
What a coincidence, I've seen a post while I was browsing on social media about how much needed to buy the new iPhone 15 Pro Max and that states if it's in bitcoin that should be around 0.048BTC and it has also indicated the amount in other cryptos like ETH which was around 0.78 ETH. Now, we're seeing the true value of Bitcoin and if you guys have probably seen the grocery inflation/deflation of what can a bitcoin buy, we're already coming up to that era. While the goods are dealing with inflation and prices are going up just as these new releases of iPhones. Bitcoin is also having its own phase of deflation as it is having more value and purchasing power.

Unfortunately, i had iphone 5 but never had so much bitcoins. I was too young at that times
Lucky you are, I have never had my own iPhone. LOL.
1082  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: where can I make a loan with collateral with small interest on: September 12, 2023, 11:14:32 PM
It is unlikely that you'll see a loaning service in your area to grant you with that type of loan for your collateral. I think what you can do is to have those things pawned and use the money and convert it to the crypto that you desire. Unlike someone from the lending section is nearby you and you're able to seal the deal but that's unlikely. So, maybe in the bank for your car and pawnshops for your gadgets and from there, you decide on how to use the money for buying bitcoin or usdt. But this seems to be just like as taking a loan for buying bitcoin but, in your case is that you're offering a collateral.

Congratulations, that is for sure a genuine feeling after your very first purchase of Bitcoin and be consistent to all of what you've said if you're planning to accumulate more on a monthly basis or whenever you're available to.

I believe the amount of knowledge I have accumulated about bitcoin through this forum will strengthened my emotion not to panic when the market goes bearish.
It is not going to be easy if you experience the bearish moment of the market but you have to experience that and to see how you're going to react on it. But don't you worry for now because we're done on its cycle as of the moment and we're approaching the halving which is the indication that we're near in a bull run. Keep it up. Smiley

6.US/ARGENTINE  PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: They might be out for themselves but what they do with bitcoin politically during campaigns and after campaigns can cause increase  since they are positive new bitcoin supporters.
I think that there is not that much change and movement with this factor for the price of Bitcoin. Or you can just come up together with this and the regulations. The effect that goes more with the regulations set by the government is more impactful. But since it's an election, words of the president or a candidate can also have some impact but at least for just that day until the promise will really be implemented and put into a law.
I remember that there's this US president candidate that has expressed his thoughts about Bitcoin and he's a supporter but he didn't win.
IIRC, that was Yang. We want someone like him in the government for more favorable laws about Bitcoin. But, if we're going to analyze the situation, at the end of it they are still politicians that makes promises just to get people's vote.

(...)

First, they have a announcement thread and basically you can ask them through that thread as well for handling this case of yours.

(...)

No you should not ask there, as that topic isn't for scam accusations, you can leave at this section and someone will address it if they have to.

I'm always forwarding Scam accusations from this section to Staff so they can be handled.

PS: I'm the one in charge of forwarding them, in case Staff misses these topics, therefore every Stake.com Scam accusation will be viewed / analysed very soon.
Hello Symphonized.
Thanks for that clarification, I'll take note of this whenever I see someone that has an accusation or complain about their accounts, I won't redirect them to your thread unless it's not really a concern of an accusation and it's more about your service. It's actually great that you've said this and replied on what I have said to clarify things that you guys are also active checking out these threads here.

Hello,

First of all thank you ! This community is amazing, you have all been very reactive and took my case seriously and for that i'am very greatful.

I hope my case get solved and that i manage to recover my money. They claim i have broken multiple times their "tos" and that they have "evidences" that suggest it.
Since i played from a restricted juridisction, i have no legal recourses and they abuse it.

I have been sending them proofs and they only seem to accept what suits them best while ignoring the rest of it. Now, every time I send them consistent evidence that strongly contradicts their conclusions, they ignore it and don't even reply...

Again Thank you all
A rep have noticed your thread and has already forwarded this to the team, you're able to get their attention and for now you have to wait for their response. Hopefully, they'll get back to you and able to address and solve your problem with them.

Hello and welcome to the forum Lavafreez. I think that this case of yours should be taken with care not just by them but also you. Since it involves a huge money on your end and you probably can't wait any further with it moving on, so you have to take action and take the community's attention through this thread. First, they have a announcement thread and basically you can ask them through that thread as well for handling this case of yours.

I don't think i'am allowed to share any information that has been sent to me. I don't wan't to give them any excuse to retain my funds.
Much better to keep those details confidential as it's written on the disclaimer of the email. But I guess that's it, you have already shared it and everyone has already seen it. I have no idea if this is going to affect the withdrawal since you already were having problems taking it but hope so, this is going to get their attention.
1087  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Heartwarming as Binance donates $3 Million in BNB to it's users in Morocco on: September 11, 2023, 10:35:07 PM
Binance did another good job in helping Morocco in the times of need. They always do this and sends the aide that people needs when devastation like this comes. Whether people hate or like Binance, they're always been helpful and sending amounts for the sake of those affected people.
This gesture should be like the foundation of other big exchanges to help also in the times when they're needed the most. Or, it's just that they don't broadcast their help but also does their own charities and support to the choice of theirs.
1088  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Cheapest way to withdraw my money from Coinbase on: September 11, 2023, 09:14:36 PM
This isn't a topic to be discussed in the Bitcoin Discussion so you have posted it to the wrong board. Kindly move your thread to Service Discussion (Altcoins).

Hi, I would like to withdraw my coinbase balance.

Is Litecoin still the cheapest way to withdraw?
I don't use Coinbase so before you withdraw, check out the options during the withdrawal on which crypto is allowing you to withdraw cheaper including the fee.

And in case in the end I decide to withdraw my balance in usdt...I see that at the time of withdrawal it does not let me specify the usdt network...and the other exchange asks me to specify the network I am going to use to make the deposit...
So, this article was from 2021 and I haven't seen the most recent one so it seems that it only supports the ERC20-USDT.

Please note: at this time, Coinbase only supports ERC-20 USDT running on the Ethereum blockchain.

1090  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Friendly note: You might want to be careful of the so-called arbitrage trading on: September 10, 2023, 11:26:17 PM
It is truly possible that the exchanges are also doing that on their own, IIRC, there has been some exchanges that has been sued because of what they do but unsure if it was arbitrage and they're going against their own users. We don't know what plays behind these exchanges but one thing there is for sure that they're also taking advantage of some of their own features and also the market situation. Whilst for the individual traders, it is true that this has always been asked as if it is an easy thing to be made. They see it from people sharing it on how they're gaining profits through arbitrage but they never show the possibility that they can also lose. I didn't know that when a user does this, this can trigger the potential closure of account. Much better to read first what's written on the TOS so that every trader is going to be aware of what are the do's and don'ts of exchanges that you use. Because if that's one of the reasons of some problems that users deal with, they are aware of this strategy that's been done for many years as it's already been there.
1091  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Stake false tranaction not found on: September 09, 2023, 12:19:59 PM
Iam and tired of this joke and support replies

Doesn't help at all
It's because none is a member of the stake team so everybody is just giving you some thoughts and opinions on how and what probably has and could happened. IMHO, this is all about the polygon network. I've used it a few days ago and I thought that it's the fastest but it wasn't as per my experience. As said by one of the staff to you, they can't handle it anymore as it's already out of their scope and the withdrawal has been made already and provided you with the hash during the first time you've approached them.

Well, there's the tip from the polygonscan if the transaction still doesn't show after an hour, go back where the transaction came from and ask them again. Maybe, this time it's on them and they can do something about it. Aside from that, there are also other tips from the scan.

Quote from: polygonscan.com
1) If you have just submitted a transaction please wait for at least 30 seconds before refreshing this page.
2) It could still be in the TX Pool of a different node, waiting to be broadcasted.
3) When the network is busy it can take a while for your transaction to propagate through the network and for us to index it.
4) If it still does not show up after 1 hour, please check with your sender/exchange/wallet/transaction provider for additional information.

1092  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Hong kong x Bitcoin on: September 09, 2023, 09:32:12 AM
The UI itself is quite okay, other than a lack of interest from the targeted market or lack of marketing/competitiveness, I don't see other reasons why the exchange would fail. Kinda reminds me of one exchange I followed in the past. They spent a ton of money buying ad slots on La Liga, then went bankrupt just a few months later.
It's hard to compete even if they're going to solely focus with their locals. Despite the good news about them as part of recovery plan to be cool with cryptos, bitcoin and things related to it. That doesn't ring a bell for now, maybe the impact will be just good as possible in the next several months to years but looking at it now is an expected result. Although they have an advantage for being the first exchange in Hong Kong to be granted with a license to operate as an exchange. I also see that they're not just an exchange but also got some other service to offer based on their website: https://group.hashkey.com/en/
Honestly, they need to focus first gaining popularity as an exchange and then had a side way from those services that they offer. Because once they gain the popularity as an exchange, they're easily recognized and partnerships will just come eventually to them. Well, it's truly a tough market for them to compete based on the market's status now. Maybe trying some test run of marketing ad campaigns and competitions could help them be recognized.
1093  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My decision on bitcoin on: September 08, 2023, 05:42:04 PM
I recently created a post asking if I should buy bitcoin now or wait for the dip, and majority of the response I got from the post, advised that I should buy now rather than waiting for the dip due to its volatile nature, and I'm satisfied with this response and I'm willing to bear the risk.
Reason for all these questioning, I have a dream of becoming a long term bitcoin holder but, dreams aren't achieved with words alone, an action is needed for the start up, so I have decided to sell one of my less used phone for the purpose of buying bitcoin.
I'm really eager to purchase my first bitcoin in satoshi.
That's right that if you're not going to do something right now then how would that dream of yours will be met? I'd like to congratulate you with that decision and by taking an action after asking such questions. Because many of those that have asked the same questions didn't even followed up on what they have decided to do. And by selling that used phone of yours, whether it is less used or not as long as the fact that it's already been in your turf for quite a while, it's already a second hand phone. But that's not what matters, what matters now is that you're about to take risk and it's likely that you've made your research to on how much you're willing to spend for having your very first satoshis. Remember that after the purchase, it's just the start of your journey and this is truly going to be a long ride for you just as we, so just enjoy it and never get discouraged when you're seeing the price dropping fast.

1095  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will ETFs pump BTC to $100k soon? on: September 07, 2023, 01:17:26 PM
Grayscale is about to launch a Bitcoin ETF soon. They've recently won a lawsuit in court against the SEC. Other companies (eg: BlackRock) are considering doing the same. If these large-scale investment companies join the "Bitcoin train", do you think market prices will "pump"? How would this positively affect BTC in the long term?
I guess so, we can just take a look back on 2021 where many institutions have jumped to the bandwagon of Bitcoin and that's likely to repeat. And for the long term effect of it is like we're going to have a new all time low. Yes, new lower price which seems to be higher than the bottom that we've seen.

Do you think it's possible the cryptocurrency will reach $100k if ETFs are approved by the US regulatory agency (SEC) before the halving of 2024?
I hope so. It was like the prediction on 2021 but it didn't happened way back then. So, with another push and some reasons and force to push the price of Bitcoin higher and that's going to be likely that we'll see Bitcoin once again reaches another ATH and for the first time of hitting a 6 digits price.

1096  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [hacked wallet] how is this even possible on: September 07, 2023, 10:27:00 AM
Revisit the activities that you've made for the past several months and this hacker is likely just waiting for the victims to do deposits and start sweeping it. It's best to just abandon that wallet of yours and never do any deposits again there and just leave it for good. If it's not the private keys of yours was compromised then for sure that there were like some websites that you've voluntarily approved and got tricked by the hacker to connect your wallet on it. Check yourself, browsing histories, downloaded files, etc.
1097  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Bitmex is being stupid on: September 07, 2023, 08:49:38 AM
No, there's no violation.
If there are, it's better if they explain it.
There could only be a few reasons why your account has been closed by them. It's either related to your orders as considered Spam Order/Account. That's one and another one could be the area of restriction. Honestly, I'm also curious as to why they've closed your account without giving you any reasons. Maybe they're going to remain intact and won't disclose a reason why you've been closed suddenly. Keep on emailing and contacting them through their various channels to alert them if you still have some money left there.

I know that these folks are also patient as me. Speaking with my experience, 0x.bet has been active in exchanging emails with me about the update of my withdrawal. They've got some instructions given to me for which I can say that it was my fault for not completing those details upon registration. They're very active in giving the best support for their customers and have been sending updates from time to time about the withdrawal and I really appreciate that. They might not that active on this thread but sure with their other communication channel like email and chat support, they're very active there and all is good with my withdrawal requests. Should someone is dealing with some problems whether it's with deposits/withdrawal or any other concerns, email or chat them because they're quicker there.
Thanks for understanding. We just announced our project here on the form and faced a significant number of registrations and a large number of support requests. So please don't get mad if some requests take longer than usual to get answered.
No problem as I was also cooperative with you guys as I have understood the situation. That's needed for each user so that the process will be easier. More patience and understanding should be there as you cater a lot of customers concern daily and everything will be fine.

By the way, I just replied to you in a PM (your withdrawal should have been processed a few days ago).
Yes, everything was already processed. Thank you.  Smiley
1099  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: I want to exchange 5000-11000 dollars in bitcoins to usdt. where can i do it? on: September 06, 2023, 10:02:24 PM
I am not sure why this sounds bit odd for me. But you probably haven't heard that Binance has got their office there, and they're the first exchange to receive a license from the government there.

It is true that Binance has a 'Preparatory MVP' crypto license in Dubai, but after the bankruptcy of FTX, things changed a bit and the authorities became more stringent[1], just as if you do not have a bank account in a Gulf bank, you have no choice than P2P.
It is true that trading may not sound familiar, but it is good for those who do not want a lot of legal complications or why this money was transferred from your account. The shortest and best solution is ----> https://www.rain.com/


[1] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-05/dubai-asks-binance-other-crypto-license-applicants-for-more-information#xj4y7vzkg
Oh, so that's possible after taking some approval and even got the first license. It should have been called like the first step/phase of owning a license there for exchanges. I guess Dubai is just being too careful on this one and wanting to make sure that their citizens will be in Binance's hand so they're taking more security measures and steps for asking more from Binance. And rain seems to be really the best as per checking it, hopefully OP could give some feed back.
1100  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mempool reaches 600K transactions on: September 06, 2023, 05:21:33 PM
Although I prefer the mempool priced around 4-6 sats/vB, I'm also happy being patient if not urgent, like most network users it seems.
I also prefer that but most likely happy to see if it will be back to 1 sat/byte. I was able to do a transaction back then and I was 1 sat/vb short with the fee that I've paid and it took a very long time before it was able to get confirmed by a miner. That sucks and I don't want that to happen again to me. Currently, the fees have gone up to 16 sat/vb - 23 sat/vb and this is quite high already and likely that it won't be back a bit anymore. If your transactions are urgent and needed to be done and needs confirmation as soon as possible, pay the priority fee if you don't want headache.
This is one of the imperfections of the Bitcoin network, we should continue to bear. I believe if there is a thing that could be done, it would have been done since, and as LoyceV mentioned in an earlier reply on the OP, there's is nothing to be done, and there's nothing as scary and helpless as that.

Well, this is still manageable as the highest I'd seen since this drama started again was 16sats/vb. If it's still within this limit or a bit higher, we can still continue to manage it.
Yes, nothing to worry about especially those that don't rush their transactions and still not that much for those that are rushing with their transactions. I just can't remember how high it was during the hype of Bitcoin Ordinals, maybe more than 100 sats/vb was it, right or not?

But this is another proof of the selfishness of the miners, they will always be in for the money not the welfare of the system. It's business as usual for a human being if there are no rules or programmed restrictions to counter their selfish desire.
I don't know if they're selfish on that, it is the network that depicts the amount of the fee and they're there actually for the fee as they won't operate without any incentive or reward as it costs them the hardware and the cost of operation.

If it could be like this when the price of Bitcoin is still low, I wonder what the fees would be when activity increases next year and Bitcoin price is also higher.
During the 2021, IIRC, the fees weren't that much but hopefully it won't be as crazy as 2017.
