I understand it now and it was so great of them that they've done this and I think this isn't the first time and won't be the last time that they'll do this. A great reminder for all of those folks that have been aware of the collapse of the banking system and the world has already seen the first few of it being done.

That editing was different from those others that have said that it was an actual edit and didn't happen. But confirmations say that it actually happened and these guys are witty.

The two words are perfect reminder, short, simple yet very meaningful. It's only going to be a matter of time until many people will understand why these guys are doing it. The crisis with the banks are scary and if they don't want that to happen to their money, they should obey what's been displayed through ECB. 

Yes, that's actually the purpose of it and that's to give everyone the heads up and let them know that bitcoin is existing and the awareness that they're contributing to it is appreciated and a lot. It was a bold step and I guess other bitcoiners in every parts of the world might do the same gesture but hopefully, none of them will be charged by their governments.

I'm thinking the different way and using the building of ECB just to flash the word is giving the message to the people and not to the banks. That's what I just feel but either way, message is for both, the banking and financial institutions and for everyone who's normally working with their assets and working hard to save for their future.

Yeah, that's what I am thinking and doing that will truly get the attention of everybody and they've succeeded in doing it because the internet got them on articles so fast.

I haven't seen an article that has exposed who are the mild troll guys that did this but yeah, they're great contributors to the community and to their area. Every single awareness that an individual or group guys, they're impactful because these companies think that bitcoin should just be something ignored by them but not knowingly, it's gonna be the solution to their possible collapsing.

It was the opposite, it's made by bitcoin lovers and not bitcoin haters.

I guess that before doing this, they're pretty sure that they'll take any consequence that might be charged to them. So, they've thought of everything well and planned it before flashing it to the ECB building.

The banks won't take it seriously and in fact, they'd hate bitcoin and that's why it's not an important thing to them not until they'll feel the impact. The worry about the banking system to collapse is there and we'd seen billionaires taking out their money to the banks have significant impact and there's a chance that money will go into bitcoin, once again.

They can just hire that signal lighting projector, I don't know what it is called but yeah, it's a lowkey project for them and those guys have spent money just to do this act and I'm sure that they're feeling lit on it as they did it.

Several sources said that it was for real, yeah I'm quite doubtful with it and unsure but with all of those articles and pictures getting out which were unlikely edited proves it. I've seen several videos that these projectors are used for just some events and matters that it should be really used.

Truly brave guys, they've got balls and I can't even think if by joining them I'll be able to join because I know that there's gonna be a consequence on this if the building management will try to sue or do some law enforcement against the guys.

Many says it wasn't.

So far, it was also that I've seen. There have been families that left their normal lives and went full time in bitcoin but this was one of the craziest thing ever because it involves the actual ECB and it's like disrespecting them.

Meanwhile, there were some mild troll guys doing their thing and feeding them as if nothing has ever said from them about bitcoin. They're not threatened on this one, it's used for making people wake up that they should start to know more about bitcoin. But let's see until when these banking collapsing news will start and they keep on coming about the other potential banks that might fall as well.

I saw this picture on several Twitter handles and I don't know if this is for real but it's also published on Cointelegraph - From Bat-Signal to Bitcoin: Projecting ‘Orange Pill’ on banks as EU drives crypto regulation

The building is said to be European Central Bank. Based on my understanding (CMIIW), it wasn't really the ECB displayed the image but bitcoin folks there that just flashed it through the building. Sort of misleading but then they've got balls to do it.

I've got my Google Authenticator back up codes but they're not lengthy and just pure number codes and I've kept it somewhere safer and I can go back anytime if something goes wrong with my phone.
Anything that's related to back up and recovery, you have to keep it and just put some notes whether it's offline storage or on your personal computer. But it's better to be kept somewhere only you can see it because it's a crucial thing to be kept if someone tries to move any of your resources and accidentally finds it.

When there's a project that seems to be released during a hype of a TV series or anything that has become popular lately. The first thing to do is to look for official announcements from the management that thing, production, company or anything as long as they're related to the officials of it. It's obvious that there have been scammers around and they'll do everything to fool people and that's why even in real life, there are scammers that are obtaining the same name trying to imitate the popular people in the verse.

I understand, if you're already established in Armenia, that's good to hear. With that having said, good job on what you're doing in your country for taking people on board with crypto.
It's not an easy task to do and with under development, there will be a lot of eyebrows raised with what you do probably with other countrymen that don't like crypto.
Needless to say, good luck with all the process and development and I hope someday to see Armenia together with your exchange becomes world renowned.

You should have chosen a better domain name. Everything that's said to be like "invest in crypto" doesn't sound really good in the ears of those that have been here for long. You know, it's because of the proliferation of those scam schemes that's attracted a lot of newbies to invest in crypto so, that's like the taboo that I'm thinking. Anyway, I don't understand most that's on your exchange since it's focused in your country which is Armenia.
I saw that you've posted on the dedicated thread for your local and it looks like we've got not that much of users from your country, still good luck.

I'd also do the same thing as what you're thinking with that money. A commoner like me that has $1M will make sure that he's set for life and that's gonna be for sure that I won't be feeling bad if ever I fail with other things as long as I've got that stash of money ready to be deployed in things for my retirement. Anyway, there are gamblers that are rich that we can't really imagine that they're already set and can lose a lot of money that we can never imagine and that's totally okay for them because they've got a lot of spare money to spend.

Yeah, a commoner like me would be feeling embarassed even if I'm not known online. It just so freaking depressing if I'm the one who has lost that amount because $1.4M is such a huge amount that's gonna make my life good for a long time or maybe a life time.
But I guess I'm still a dollar or a quarter richer than of those gamblers that have lost a lot and living with their paycheck to paycheck lives and has got a lot of debts and are now in trap and don't know what to do. This is still a way better type of living rather than thinking of those mishaps that have been found and generated by their gambling addictions.

If this gambler is truly rich and this is just like a $100 from his $1k bankroll then he'll remain positive. But for us, even we're just watchers of this story, we truly feel terrible for the lost that he has made. There's a connection for the emotion of the gambler and I'm sure that even if he's wealthy to lose this amount, he'll still feel that he should have done something better with that money. I don't think it's all about the thrill but yeah, there can be point of our lives that we're thrilled to do something and since we're gamblers, we want to do the YOLO mentally and even if we know that it's not gonna be favorable for the result, we still push for it because of the thought that's being built on our minds and asking the question of what if.

As the charity auction has ended that I've supported it through wearing its signature and avatar and I've got no signature to wear for now, I'll wear the signature in support of this pie baking contest of the forum. This is gonna be a long read for me to look to all of those yummy pies.
Good luck everyone and congrats Rick for organizing this contest, the feedback is overwhelming and it's very successful.

You're right. If you keep your money in the bank, it is the bank that you're allowing to freely use your money to lend it to its customers and from there you'll get a share and that share is truly a bit of amount from the big profit that they make from interests.

They can be robbed, hacked and receive freeze order from the government but AFAIK, most of the banks have insurance if something anything bad happens to them.

Just as the banks can be robbed and hacked, owning bitcoin doesn't mean that you're exempted from that. If you're a user that don't give importance to your browsing activities, you may be hacked, your wallet and your bitcoins might be stolen and can even be a victim of a scam.

I am with you on this, even it falls no matter how it will be. It can never avoid recovering and even more than doubling the price that it has got right now.

What's a wrong approach by most is that, they register, deposit and gamble. That's the usual step that we do when we're entering an online casino. We don't read much about the terms and when we encounter such problems, that's the time that we're looking back at their FAQ and rules to clarify the problem that we're dealing. It's a wrong approach and that's why it's a mistake that everybody does, who do really read a lot of terms and conditions with such paragraphs that includes rule? I bet that if there's any, they really are rare or very few gamblers because most contents of it are just the same from the other casinos and would ended up with the same conclusion that, they have the right to to change any terms they've made without prior notice.

Two things that I've come to notice too quick:

1. The name Blabla. LOL, the name of this project didn't even got a good name by thinking of its name, the developers don't have to think a lot and don't have time for it as it seems there's the inner intention that they're about to do from its investors. Such a gibberish name.

2. I just want to reiterate what has been said about ICO. It's true that ICOs are long dead gone and that's why if there are projects that still find their luck through it and don't even have a legitimate project to begin with, you've got already the red flags. Before when it was too popular, their target were millions but now, on this project it's just $50k and they're half way on it if it's true.


I agree. Next year, we'll probably see more of the same tactics that will produce tons of shitcoins in preparation for the next bull run.

I don't understand why you need to take a loan in order for you to accept and adopt payments in bitcoin. You can just simply accept it without any grant of loan needed because there's no capital needed for you to accept such payments.
If your purpose is to boost your business, that's totally okay but to say that you want to take a loan and then adding you want to add bitcoin as payment as a reason for your grant, there's a likelihood that you will get declined. Just solely focus on the reason of boosting your business and add bitcoin anytime you want as a payment method.

Actually, receiving payments from digital wallets and typical payment processors that they've been using don't even require a fee. But on their end, when the time of audit has come, AFAIK there goes the fee that they're obliged to fill based on the agreement from those payment processors that they use.

It's giving customers more choice for payments that they should use. At the same time, it's giving the good vibes for the customers that there is this business that do accept bitcoin and is helping the crypto economy through their acceptance of it so, in return, they'll support it and would like to pay their invoices through bitcoin or any other accepted crypto.

We can keep it even it ages in time and that's what I'm doing.

We don't live only for one morning at a time. Joking aside, yeah that's what retirement savings is for. We have to prepare for our future so that every morning we've got some meals to eat. There are a lot of oldies that haven't planned their retirement and it's due to the circumstances that they've faced when they're younger. It's like having no financial education at all on the early days while us, we're lucky to have such discussions wherein we can think of what we must do in the future in preparation of our tiring days.

A friend of mine in the US told me to be careful with Binance just this day. As that what he sees on the news and what a coincidence when this thread has been made.
I'll oblige and would take out the little fund that I've got there. It won't be surprising even Binance bites into dust as that's mostly will really happen to these centralized exchanges unless they're serious and real with their business. Even if they're quite big already, that doesn't make them exempted to any potential fall on their business.

You just did the right thing. Everyone starts small and depending on your capacity and the important thing is you've made it there. This will urge you to have some more while doing some calculations on how much you'll gain if ever you've got an $xx amount on your stash.
But as you start, you need to realize the volatile that you'll also experience. At first, it's like too heavy in your feeling when you see the market goes on low but sooner and later, you'll just endure all of it and will not feeling anything when you see the valuation of portfolio sways up and down.

I've got some little business and if a random customer of mine asks me to pay in bitcoin, I'd be more than happy to accept it. But most of my transactions are cash and a few from digital.
I'm not too hyperactive in discussing it with my customers since majority of them come and go and even I've got long term and repetitive customers from my rental business, no one has said anything to me that they're interested in paying in bitcoin. Maybe because I'm not telling it to them or it just so happen that they're not aware of it and still didn't hear anything about bitcoin.
