There are many such instances and can't understand how people believe in them that Elon musk is giving away free coins to some lucky holders and even ask them to deposit some coins in first hand to get more from him and it seems to funny and stupid who fall in this trap but you should always check everything you see on internet as you know hackers these days are very smart to fool you so be sure to follow legit sources only.

Yes it's possible when key logging malwares are installed in your system by clicking on some phishing links which is why it's advisable never to click on links you see on the sites because it could be dangerous to you.As this virus is now in your system and whenever you type some password or seeds phrases it give hackers or scammers direct access what you are typing and leaking your information to them .

This chart explain how it actually works :



So this is why adviced never click on these links as your system will not be able to detect these spywares and your personal information is being tracked by them without even you knowing about it so when you type sensitive information they have access to it.

The twitch streaming would also now not possible as they have banned the gambling related streams on the platform after so many complaints so now official sponsors like @Ayezee have to move to some other platforms so it's also issue for them.But if you see Roobet has lot of promotions going on with huge rewards and they are still in the game not completely down.They have bankroll to support them and many players wager over Roobet and like to gamble over them.

There are many different ways you want to engage yourself on the forum and all these ranks are secondary option but your main goal should be acquiring knowledge on the forum through various threads and abundant resources available online and on forum as well.See you ignore ranks for time being and only focus on increasing your knowledge and then post useful content on the forum and with this your secondary goal of ranking up will be automatically fulfilled as you will gain merits over your post and activity points will be given every fortnight if you are active during that time.

Ranks will never decide the level of knowledge you have as there are some legendary members with zero earned merits after the system was implemented by @theymos in 2018 while some newbies have gained enough merits in the first month of registration on forum only so whom will we call more knowledgeable? So ranks are just secondary thing but your knowledge will help you to achieve that rank fast so focus on that.

Yeah you certainly need to join and follow the official twitter account of team on twitter to follow any updates as there might be scammers trying to impersonate themselves as real team but the actual risk will arise if they ask you to click on some links or ask to connect wallet in any case so be sure to avoid such things as much you can for fund safety and participate in these contest with fun manner.

You will surely reach out there by next year as now you are only 300 merit marks away from it so best wishes and congratulations for the current 1700 mark this time.I also hope to enter 2k merit club this year but lagging from some time but still keeping up high hopes.

Oh so you have crossed many merit station the last time I saved your merit record and you are keeping up the same pace man so congratulations to you on reaching the 4k merit club and joining other members along with you and now your next target is also locked which your post train will cross soon.But congratulations on this one @n0nce

What do logo means exactly? They represent something and in the bitcoin case it has the BTC symbol in orange circle with the bitcoin sign 14% tilted clockwise in the orange circle if you are asking for it and you can check the thread mentioned above to see the user who made these logos which we treat as the bitcoin logo nowadays from 12 years.

The first logo Satoshi came up with was also changed after he asked for community response and there were some changes implemented then :



See he was also not declaring it as official logo although he could do it easily but the community support was his motive always.But after that bitboy dropped new logos and was accepted and liked by community so we can say them as used as official logo for bitcoin although they are kind of unofficial but community has accepted it as main one.

You are interpreting the merit distribution in the wrong manner as it's not like charity because it means helping the people but in actual these threads and merits are given to those who deserves them based on post of their quality only so you see it's different way of handing out merits on the forum.He is merit source and distribute merits from what he get as source and also smerits he has earned from his effective contributions on forum so he would then in return share it with some good low ranking members.

This way they will learn how to rank up on forum with your other threads as well getting merits from you on the good post and if you give all of them merits then they will never understand how to earn them through effective posting so your approach is very well that you are helping them to grow as well as learn which would help them to gain more merits in the long run as knowledge is key to success and we learn with time and dedication.

On my personal approach I still feel happy whenever I get one merit also because it boost my motivation that my contributions have been recognised and was helpful for someone on the forum.The merits boost up your morale to write more good and useful stuff on the forum to earn more merits but if we compare it with low rank members then yes they are more happy to get merits seeing themselves rank on the forum I would say rather based on 50 or 1 merit.But this system has helped to reduce spam to some extent as they cannot rise on the forum if they don't have zeal to learn and write useful post on the forum.

He is checking these lines and having an eye on all the posts across the forum and maybe this month round start soon from his side delivering merit sprees with lightning speed to the users again with his usual routine and now whenever I see there are some merits spread across the forum it immediately came to my mind it's our mutual friend @DdmrDdmr and it's right.

I agree with you that there are bitcoin whales also who try to create FUD around the market to dump but the correct word in btc is dip the prices to a certain level that they can invest more amounts at low prices gaining more bitcoins and then profiting from the same afterwards when they rise but comparatively it's far less then altcoins which can be easily manipulated by the same whales which is my main point.

Congratulations Bitcasino.io team for adding new coin BNB as Binance is widely used chain and it will surely help gamblers to deposit directly and withdraw their funds with this new coin and they are happy to have this new addition to the casino.

No there's not any issues on my side and forum interface seems working fine but as others have said this is cloudfare issue only which you are facing and some others have also faced but the forum was not loading up for them so it will be resolved soon for you as well.Or there could be network connection issue on your end with slow response while using Tor so try it from som other browser.But I am aslo using TOR and it seems to load at normal pace because forum is designed in a manner to load on slow internet connection also.

That will be also best option for you with IP bumping but speed issue will be there also so check for some good VPN providers only.

Right if you are participating in some contest then you should hope for winning it and have competitive spirit among yourself keeping up your motivation levels and whatever the outcome is accept it.This is contest and some win some loose but it doesn't mean you wasted your time because you are learning and being creative with each art contest.So best is to try instead of giving up and saying it's waste of time if you don't win.

There are sometimes these fake shillers involved in these scams as putting links under the video and will tell you to go to this site through the link and they will get some free tokens or invite codes like shit and then whosoever is trusting them fall under the trap losing their money from their own wallets.

Or sometimes hackers swap the link with the fake one directing you to thier site or injecting malware in your system taking access of your wallets but it don't seems to be the case with this one particularly as they attack some famous one only to find more victims but there is always advice not to click on links then why in the hell we do it? To earn some free tokens worth nothing and losing your own funds also?

There are many ways to approach the market investment and it depends on you what ways you choose for it to make profits or not.For example if you are complete newbie and don't have any knowledge about the market then without any hesitation bitcoin is the best investment is for you but some will say at what point? So the answer is anytime you decide to invest is best but your goal should be holding long term say 4+ years and you can check it has always given return to holders in this cycle.Second rule says invest amount you afford to loose or better do DCA in it to accumulate more with the amount you are willing to invest overtime.

Now for the altcoins/shitcoin projects you are saying then yes there are many ways to scam people and most of them are pump dump scheme setup to fool you around but still you can make profits out of them in short term trading as many do but not trust them for long term because they don't have any utility and liquidity in the market so coins will be lying dead in your wallets with zero value.So better sell them at right time to make profits.

It's really hard to judge a project by reading documents as they can be easily manipulated and you can write and promise anything that sounds lucrative to the investors and once you raise funds they are transferred to some other address and bypass the exchange restrictions and can't be freezed as well so they are rug.But also sometimes there are project which provide return to you with some utility but it's hard to find so best is to stick with good alternative only.

I think he has just posted about this information for others who are willing to take part in this new event and see if their prediction was right or not but not taking part in it myself as last date is 18 and some work to do.But if you are interested to join discord then you can join in here : Rollbit discord as there are 46k members already there.

Can't say with guarantee that team finds which type of art more creative and interesting as there is no limits for being creative mind and you could make simple art or say if AI is allowed then you can be extra imaginative in it to show your talent.All the participation are well talented and all entries are good but last result depends on team hands.

This is on the point that one shitcoin which don't have any utility to holders how come can survive in the long run and what factors will boost up it's demand giving return to holders in from of price boost? There are almost more then 18k altcoins or say shitcoins trading in the market but most of them are only pump dump schems by the founder of those coins.What actually they do is paid some social media influencer who is giving tips to these coins and make the coins price boost with fake volumes and when people start investing they dump the coins along with those fake shillers making millions out of your pocket.There was very detailed thread about such conditions on twitter which I have seen in which they tell how a youtuber was dumping coins by first making people invest in them and was paid actors through those shitcoins creators.

They simply create tokens with ERC-20 standards mostly or any other chain and will ask people to invest in it with lucrative offers and fake promises just to make money and people under the influence of others invest in them without even understanding what's going on at the back.So they need to realise this reality that altcoin with zero utility are waste of time and money.

Only BTC for the long term hodl is the best alternative with them but you see they get panic with normal corrections also and sell at loss also having disbelief in bitcoin but they need to know these types of charts that bitcoin is still the best option to them.

It's hard to recover bitcoin but we can't say it's impossible to recover bitcoins but it depends on how the situation of lost if as pointed above by @Charles Tim and @NeuroticFish so you can read their points to have an better idea of the situation.

For example what do you actually call lost bitcoins? If some bitcoins are OP_Return command they are completely lost or say burnt and they can never be recovered and you can take out them from total supply so this is one case.

Now if someone has lost his coins through seed misplacement or say have not full 12 words then it's hard to brute force and crack the order of remaining words but if more words are missing then it's near to impossible to recover your coins.

Like some people don't find wallets with bitcoins in them and after years they find out wallet.dat file on the system and recover their coins so lost bitcoin for them were recovered but it depends on the actual scenario at that time.

Right as most of the forum members have priority of privacy and would not be willing to jump into this although you have good idea to sell some good merchandise for Bitcointalk lovers but you see they are physical items and needs to be delivered to some address and many will not be willing to hand out them.

If you see when there was community awards and prizes were to be handed out like holiday trip but the winners refused it to take because they didn't want to compromise their privacy with it and rewards were secondary for them even if the rewards were really good so paying for merchs will never be an option to them and compromise their security.

When there was Bitcointalk channel setup then there was suggestion of interviewing members in video but you see they refused it because they want to remain anonymous only and spend time over forum as usual only.

But you can give some samples to the viewers of how you will design products or merchs and see if you gain some customers from it and they have no problem with this business.
