Yeah, I just saw it. Damn! Pure manipulation using the news. And because investors are all eyes on Bitcoin waiting for the ETF to be approved they used that to take advantage of them. This is not good, someone or some company should be sued for this. I bet a lot of victims will probably come out to show their support and not let this happen again.
They found a hole, they abused it. If this can keep on happening in the cryptocurrency industry then more investors will just pick Gold instead of Bitcoin and that not going to be great news for all investors whose assets are in Bitcoin. It's scary that just one piece of news can rock the Bitcoin market and yet they are just apologizing for it and maybe fire one of their employees after pinning it to him/her and say it's all okay now. That's absurd.

Update: $29k now.

I've seen Gold market prices rising lately as a result of the current Israel-Hamas conflict. However, Bitcoin hasn't experienced any upsurge in price. It's still hovering around the $26k range. Something similar happened during the Russia-Ukraine war.

Is it because investors still don't trust Bitcoin as a store of value? Or is it something else? Please enlighten me. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This scam scheme just recently exposed to the media due to the tv program and strong social media but this exist long time ago and very popular on reddit. Junket operators is way of foreign money launderers to mix money from investors money on this operators. There’s tons of complaints and reports like this in the past which doesn’t go out to the public because they are being paid or force to a long term contract by the operators in exchange for the promised profit.

There’s really a legit Junket operator but this one is not because it’s a clear ponzi due to the “guaranteed” promise. Too bad that the master mind of this scam scheme is on abroad while all the contracts is not made by him in person so he can get away while the person in charge in PH is the one who will put behind the jail.

Silent Payments support is being developed for Bitcoin Core, it's on the wishlist: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/28599

Here is the tracking issue: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/28536

And as you can expect, that made Samourai extremely pissed since people will actually gain full privacy from their stealth addresses with BIP352 Silent Payments instead of having users' donation info stored and tracked by their BIP47 Paynym server: https://twitter.com/SamouraiWallet/status/1666404283208572933

BIP47 Paynyms aren't popular because of the notification transactions/trusted third parties involved, undermining the attempt to accept donations privately.  Silent Payments (BIP352) is the proper standard for stealth addresses that doesn't have these downsides: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1458

If they are addicted to trading, it may produce great results, especially if they keep trying and learning. And if they try trading while continuing to learn, they can get something useful to improve their analytical skills. At least, from learning that, they can get something.

But if it is gambling where we don't know when we win or lose, it can't be done because our losses cannot be recovered. Even though we try continuously, it doesn't guarantee how many times we can win and lose.

In trading, whether it is shitcoins or Bitcoin, they must have analytical skills. Shitcoins don't always cause us to lose money. If we can improve our analytical skills, we can find hidden gems that can provide benefits.

Wow you guys really have 1xbit.com a five star rating?
 

I haven’t gone through the entire list of reviews in your site but this particular one caught my attention since it’s known around the forum that 1xbit.com is a scam casino and if you navigate around the forum (which I’ll advise that you do) you’ll see several scam accusation threads opened against them and any users here in the forum found promoting them through their signature space will be given negative trust for promoting a known scam site for monetary gain.

Since payments will be processed by Bitpay its safe to assume that all currencies supported by them will be accepted, including BCH.

Chosing Bitpay means we have to pay 1-2% + 25¢ extra if we want to buy Ferrari car with btc. Ferrari is such a big company and company like this should work on own payment system rather then other source where customers have to bear the extra fee burden. Months ago I read news about Paypal also who was relying on third party source.

Despite this fact I think this is very positive movement and this news show that interest and demand of people to use btc/crypto in online payment is increased and big companies now providing services to got attention of users who love to pay through btc. I hope we will hear about many others companies in this year just like many ETF providers applied for Bitcoin ETF after Blackrock.

Maybe they want to improve their abilities, skills and understanding of conditions and situations in the market so that they continue to try or struggle. It is not gambling because they try to study every condition that occurs in the market. Even though they made a loss, they learned a valuable lesson from their last trade. They can also learn from their mistakes, which will be useful in the next trade.

But if it is luck-based gambling, you don't need to learn anything because everything will depend on your luck. You just have to place a bet, play gambling, and submit the results at the end of the game. And if you are lucky, you will win and vice versa.

So daily trading is different from gambling because there is skill and ability in analyzing trading. But if it is sports betting, they also need analysis to choose the right team.

Dr Luke Clark, in the Department of Experimental Psychology, is interested in the different ways in which gamblers over-estimate their chances of winning, including the effects of near-misses and personal choice. These features of gambling games promote an ‘illusion of control’: the belief that the gambler can exert skill over an outcome that is actually defined by chance.

It sounds to me like you are just making shit up.. regarding your ossification language.. but hey, if there is no perception of any need to recognize mining rewards into the 9th digits in 2048, then I doubt that I give too many shits.  We might have to reassess where people are at (including where the BTC price is at) when it comes closer to 2048. we are still 25 years out from there.. so a lot of thing can change in the next 25 years including what is the value of a satoshi and therefore what would be the value of units smaller than a satoshi (further dividing the satoshi in order to recognize the then mining reward, for example)..

That does not make much if any sense.  He must not yet know about this thread.

It true if it not to make profit then for what purpose does someone carry out trading which clearly requires more and more capital if you want to get more profits and all of that is full of risks, the same as gambling but in gambling it could be said more to have fun and people like this profit is just luck without much hope.

So far all traders have always aimed to earn additional income not for fun or anything like that.

That because they have lot of money to buy or use tools such as bots in trading and this is normal thing for high class traders.

Moreover in trading the use of bots is still permitted because it is only to be able to determine the selling price and buying price so that traders can be quicker in placing profits and can minimize losses when assets experience decline in price.

Any trader can get win or profit when they have succeeded in getting the right asset and can determine good momentum for the purchase price even though they only use relatively small capital, but remember that in trading you need large capital if you want to get bigger profits too.

I seriously doubt that there is a high interest among those who own bitcoin to use it to purchase an expensive car like a Ferrari. In fact I believe the same problem existed with Tesla and I believe this was the real reason why Musk removed the bitcoin payment option not the nonsense he said about the energy consumption.

In other words the only thing that this news is going to do is for a short time it is going to introduce Bitcoin to some people who would hear about this decentralized currency, then it is going to be forgotten until possibly the day they remove this option which there would be some FUD and again it will be forgotten the same way Tesla and Musk are.

Yes, that's right, if we want a more advanced level and can use all the analysis tools on Tradingview then we will be charged a fee. And the facilities we will get are also different, depending on the level we will subscribe to. Social Networks will also be available if we subscribe to the pro level.

It's funny how polarized the community is on this. On one hand you have people being extremely damning and just failing to comprehend the psychology of someone who was victimized by a conman making really strong assumptions that there was a big conspiracy, on the other hand you have people making all kinds of excuses.  Upthread someone linked to the archive with the email chain between Gavin and Wright.  I really recommend reading it.  In particular, it has Gavin pointing to reddit posts basically explaining Wright's fraud, in one message he even says that Craig is making himself sound like a fraud!  You simply cannot say that he had no warning.  And, in fact, Wright tried to get other people to witness for him like Andreas who were prudent enough to not put themselves into an easily compromised position.

I think the thread undermines both most of the apologia but also most of the conspiracy theories.

Gavin has suffered greatly for his error here.  Unfortunately, his mistake didn't just harm himself-- it greatly harmed a lot of other people (including people who lost money on BCH and BSV as a result as well as the people Wright has been suing) and that harm is continuing to this day which is why people are still unhappy with him for it.  If you look at the footage from the Norway trial Wright still leans heavily on Gavin's endorsement and current relative silence, he'll almost certainly do so again in the UK trial.  Gavin could still improve the situation but he chooses not to, presumably because he has reasoned that he's better off being additionally disrespected by the Bitcoin community than he is drawing Wrights ire.  (Something which is probably true, but is made less true by the public pressure).  So I think we don't have to adopt either of the extreme positions:  It's both an understandable error and it's also not unreasonable for people to blame him both for the original error and his handling subsequently (including today).

Decreasing the volume of dollars or other fiat currencies does not increase purchasing power

Getting bribed is an important mistake. You can't trust someone who is getting paid to lie. And if he wasn't really paid to say that crap, and was honestly convinced, then you can't trust him either as he's lacking technical expertise severely.

I feel like we've had this conversation before.  Gavin alludes to the notion that Faketoshi isn't satoshi, but never seems to say it outright.  

Even the update on his own blog feels like a cop-out:


He can't seem to bring himself to say "Craig Wright is not satoshi".  Is that not weird?

So far Tradingview is still the number one reference in my opinion. Tradingview provides complete facilities as a website for economic analysis, stocks, forex, commodities, crypto and others.
However, if OP wants to try another platform, perhaps OP can visit Investing.com

https://www.investing.com/

Hopefully OP gets what he is looking for.
