761  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: So since SOL is $60 - Means FTX is solvent again? on: November 20, 2023, 11:30:27 AM
But when you file for bankruptcy, doesn't that mean that you have failed to meet your financial obligations and in this case any liabilities which means whatever assets you have will be liquidated to pay your debtors so that FTX starts off from a clean slate!

So meaning if FTX assets are sold to pay any debt to its name then it's finacial position hasn't moved from $1B to $6B as this might have changed hands ,unless we say debt was cleared and Sol and other crypto assets are still in their name then situation suggests they could be solvent...
762  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Senator introduce"keep your coin act" to protect right to use self-hosted wallet on: November 20, 2023, 06:55:21 AM
The junior Senator of the United States, Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) Introduces 'Keep Your Coins Act' to Protect Right to Use Self-Hosted Wallets
These act was introduced to allow individuals to maintain the custudy of the coins or cryto currencies in there self-hosted wallet. He further stated that the reason for this "Keep Your Coins act" would protect an individual’s right to conduct transactions with cryptocurrency assets without the need to utilize a third-party intermediary. And the reason behind this is a prior to FTX collapse that it would save people from third party risk.
We don't need politics to be in the drivers seat at this point  especially that cryptocurrencies are about freedom and picking what's  best for you , besides what needs to be preached more is knowing what a custodial and non-custodial wallet is so that everyone picks what's best for them knowing the advantages and disadvantages of what is chosen.

Do you think this will affect CEX?
Do you think this is a bold step to embrace the use of DEX?

If this was to pass, it could affect the operations of a Cex..the least I foresee happening is a multisig feature which will only happen when requesting a withdraw with can be completed by both exchange and user which means better security too .

As of the second question, I think DEXs wouldn't be popular as the lack the liquidity and to some extent could be limited in functionality when servicing many blockchain types.
763  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are there fewer women Than men involved in Bitcoin? on: November 19, 2023, 10:42:49 PM
When I checked the statistics of women who are into Bitcoin and found out that they are less than 10%, it surprised me seriously.
It would have carried more weight if you shared the source of this finding because how do you carry out the sampling in the first place when users here choose to be whoever they want to be..male or female, hero or villain, etc?? Btw unfortunately these are usually biased numbers as they are based on assumptions afaik!

And considering bitcoin is an internet thing, don't you think women too use men's usernames to avoid being picked on or seen as the weakling, so the numbers stack up in favor of the men, if not maybe women are less risk takers and think bitcoin is high risk to try...the same concept insurance companies use to charge higher premiums for men than women.
764  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is your solution to pay less Fee ? on: November 19, 2023, 10:14:16 PM
Any micro payments that involve paying a transaction fee that's more than the amount involved is a no-no!!!

If you trying to send some bitcoins to a friend or family member, with the current high fees I think it makes financial sense to opt to use Altcoins for cheaper transactions and save a little, even if you can afford !! I know my out there feel uncomfortable to go with alts but matching up the tx fees is adding fuel to a fire 🔥 and end result is much higher fees.



What is your solution to pay less Fee ?


Crypto is one big ecosystem with smaller coins/tokens surrounding it, and at this point it wouldn't hurt to switch to thesr for now, while we wait for BTC fees to notmalize.
765  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: November 19, 2023, 06:06:17 PM
I believe gambling is treated differently in all parts of the world, other places are so religious such that they see gambling as sin as it's a breeding ground for greed, stealing, suicide etc, in other parts of the world gambling is all fun and games and nobody has a problem with it, and in other parts of the world its new territory that has been treated as a way to make money and maybe a living from it...and if you ask me whatever comes from gambling is the responsibility of the user.

With all what's been said above, if gambling won't affect your social life if others knew you gamble then no biggie but if it can get you in trouble then better keep the habit a secret.
766  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How did you overcome the hurdles and gain confidence to trade as a Newbie? on: November 19, 2023, 05:17:53 PM

Todays question i would share how we overcame these hurdles and gain confidence to trade as a Newbie?.
I think this isn't only for newbies as learning never stops, but to gain confidence in trading I went out to gain the knowledge to understand how the markets work generally... of course not limited to cryptocurrencies and not forgetting learning how to read chart's and this process didn't end here as I needed to watch videos of how other traders trade which was possible through 100s of hours of YouTube and once you are ready you go for Demo trading to test your strategy and with several winners and confidence is built you ready for the real markets, happy trading Smiley

I would add the option that all participants participate in paying the fee, at least while the fees are high. There are 50 members in the campaign, deducting $1 from each to cover the fee is acceptable, and the total amount ($50) would certainly cover the costs.
Agreed, sharing transaction fee with Sinbad and all participants to get next block addition is the way to go!

Like they say, "A problem shared is a problem solved."
768  Economy / Services / Re: [CFNP] Yo!Mix Bitcoin Mixer Signature Campaign| Reward up to $200/w on: November 19, 2023, 08:29:36 AM
Not part of this campaign but indirectly affected by virtue of coming from another campaign run by Royse.

As for the solution to the high transaction fees, I think @mikeywith suggestion of sharing/splitting fees is the best which guarantees high priority tx fees used and weekly payouts continue , and besides signature payouts have payment disclaimers embedded in them which don't make anybody liable should say wallet not get refilled and a month is a longtime, best to stick with the usual weekly payout structure,just my 2cents.
769  Other / Meta / Re: Should Merit-Sources use feelings when giving out Merit? on: November 17, 2023, 03:22:51 PM
Hey! I was thinking of something this night, this thing about merits and the merit-sources. If you are a merit-source, should you always give away merit to good posts even if you dislike the user that created the post?
Or are you allowed to be controlled by your feelings and only give away merit to people you like or don't know?
The brutal truth is if they don't like you, then chances are slim of receiving any from such sources Roll Eyes

Besides the only way around this is to try to make yourself visible to be noticed by the merit sources, but it gets ugly if he/she puts you on their ignore list meaning whatever meritable content you put out there won't be seen and you can not complain of any foul play as merit-sources have the discretion to send merit(s) to whoever they think is deserving!!


It's a different a user can give merit to whoever he wants, because it's his/hers own merit and they can do whatever they want with it. But a merit-source how should he act? Without feelings or with feelings?
Naturally, this service to the forum should be done without feelings but being humans we are prone to mixed emotions !!!

Btw You make this sound like a job of which they need to go through all threads to find all these good posts, which is unrealistic as everyone has a life away from the forum.

I don't trying to blame anyone, or create any drama and I am not disappointed with my low merits, I am quite happy and proud that I already got ten merit and being a member rank, so I am in no rush what so ever to rank up, I actually love the farming and the journey, because when and if I reach Legendary nobody can say I didn't earn it the right way.
Nothing tastes better than the fruit of your hard work, good luck BabyBandit.
770  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the minimum amount of bitcoin or satoshi should hold for poor? on: November 17, 2023, 02:45:18 PM
This question doesn't sound right!

But AFAIK for example when bitcoin started off in its early days, anybody that bought $100 worth of bitcoin was considered liquid after 10plus years regardless of status as value multipled greatly to leave hodlers laughing all the way to the bank!!

Today, the strategy should be buy what you can afford regardless of financial status as this is a long term race...think of bitcoin like planting a tree🌲 that will mature in 10 or more years before the fruit is ready, once you plant the seed there is no going back .

Lost this round way too early, guess time to sack the manager to try to get better results before league concludes.

Congratulations @goodpunt, never thought Bulgaria and Uraguay would make this round an easy win for you..honestly feel scammed by that  Argentina performance Cry

Not a single participant of any division went against the odds in both events Argentina - Uruguay and Colombia - Brazil. Who would have thought that despite Colombia turning around that game there will be no more than 4.5 cards? And Argentina losing is also a surprise.

Usually, south American ball games draw way too many fouls to make it easy for the card market to see a good number of them shown, and with Brazil not having any fight left in them, it was inevitable cards shown would be low.
772  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies don't leave your coins in an exchange on: November 17, 2023, 07:09:19 AM
They say experience is the best teacher, and unfortunately many of us choose to learn from our mistakes because we believe we have a different orra of luck from those that had a bad experience with an exchange...

But when it comes to leaving coins on an exchange, I have mixed feelings about this...if a user is into p2p trading and this kind of business requires that it's up and running 24/7 , I honestly don't see anything wrong with having coins on the exchange as coins are constantly moving in and out, but if you get to use the exchange as a wallet to hodl coins for a long time or try to save on transaction fees, then whatever happens to your coins like a hack , exit scam or closure you have yourself to blame as your safety of your coins is better off in non custodial wallets.
773  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever Thought of Giving Back to the Community? on: November 17, 2023, 06:47:00 AM
The fact that his giving total strangers I don't see this as giving back to the community but the real character of a person being a giver!

If this is giving back to the community, I would see this as an indirect way of actually encouraging people to gamble more and do the same when they hit some big winners..if not this user could be running some kind of tipster service of which this could be treated as a marketing strategy to get word out there!

Besides you know what they say... nothing in this world is free, somewhere somehow someone will pay for this.
774  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: It's better to provide Quality and not Quantity... on: November 17, 2023, 04:42:48 AM
Is that the reason why you are having 9 posts and 9 activities since 2018? It's annoying seeing this type of thread coming from newbies. I believe you can not even differentiate between a good quality posts and shit posts and here you are trying to teach others.
Totally agree with  you, no offence to OP...you can't have this little amount of  posts even if account is 5+ years  old and act as the expert around the forum, unless it's an alt  Roll Eyes !!

Btw, If someone is going to teach/recommend something to others then let them walk the talk and not  do things based on speculation. I guess that's why dzungmobile stated in the early  posts that "Newbies Stop Teaching When You Need To Learn."  this is because experience is the best teacher that everyone agrees too.
775  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will it Hold? BTC Targets $40,000 on: November 16, 2023, 06:50:24 PM
Seeing how much Non-Farm Payroll(NFP) is affecting the crypto markets shows that the spot ETF could actually have a much bigger positive effect on the crypto markets considering its directly related to it...

And looking at how much momentum is currently in the markets, surely 40,000 dollars is just so near and we surely will be crossing over probably before the year ends and the bears can do nothing about it for now as they are watching from the sidelines for now. So anybody looking for a low this might be out low as a new ATH is on the cards.

For Gladitorcomeback its Sr. Member payroll, like its written just a post above yours!

Gladitorcomeback has been promoted to Sr. Member payroll.
Gladitorcomeback welcome to the club Cool.


Looking at how the rates are structured and users have been picked, is it possible to standardise rates into five categories:

  • Legendary payroll
  • Hero Member payroll
  • Sr. Member payroll
  • Full Member payroll
  • Avatar payroll


Could cause budget to jump up with Sr member payroll, guess we shall work with whats there...
778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Chat GTP destroy poker on-line gambling??? on: November 16, 2023, 03:16:19 PM
Honestly it depends with the programming of the AI/bot, for example can it count cards as it's extra feature...

Otherwise the fact that it plays without emotions , and probably will follow an algorithm of " if ,then, else.." then it's more likely to survive the long term without having to play high risk tables which we humans can go on to play even with a bad hand in the name of a bluff...but all in all Bots can likely play better than us humans.
779  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some rich person not interest about bitcoin for following reason on: November 16, 2023, 03:07:09 PM
A friend of mine is not interested in buying Bitcoin even after learning about it.
Because according to him Bitcoin is a small number of people who have a lot of Bitcoin. They can easily go down on the bitcoin market if they want to.
Bitcoin has been in existence close to 15years now, and we haven't experienced this easy downfall your buddy talks of.. besides when it comes to managing decentralized assets, the strength comes from the numbers which helps neutralize the power/command that a small group of users might have!!

So if our buddy wants to help in diluting this power that is with the small group of users, then getting in on bitcoin now will make a big difference.

@SAHASAN nice user name btw  Roll Eyes
