It's one of recommended security measures but I find it stupid. Imo, as long as your original password is strong enough, you do not need look at it ever again.
What's your opinion on this security measure?
The problem is never the strong passwords because from your side security can be airtight and all the basics of ensuring that no unauthorised person gets access to your stuff can be put in place like no clicking unknown clicks, no use of VPNs, use a device strictly for x purposes etc, but the problem comes in when you use password managers which history has shown that they do get hacked and data leaks out, it could be a database breach which is another reason why we are advised to change passwords regularly as this information isn't always shared with its users which is why it's good practice to just change passwords regularly  Do you change your passwords often? If no, have you been hacked? Was never a fan of changing passwords , not until someone tried to ghost me with a loan in my name, and ever since I try to give myself a surviving chance against such by changing passwords.. |

like we value equities using equations and ratios, what are the factors on basis of which one can do valuation of bitcoins and the other cryptocurrencies for that matter.
I don't think Bitcoin can really be valued using equations especially that some aspect of it is speculative! AFAIK, Bitcoin price leans towards what the buyer/seller is willing to pay or offer hence the reason why the laws of supply and demand tend to be applied,it's only that we use centralised exchanges more often these days but with decentralized exchanges the buyer or seller fixes the price..which bases it's price at auction value... |

The problem is most people think gambling is easy not until they try it for themselves . And when they try to prove a point that they can conquer this with their sportting knowledge, emotions get the better of them and this doesn't only negatively affect their financial well-being but day gets runied and whoever they come in contact with can feel the negative energy coming from such a person , hence gambling can indeed ruin a relationship!!!
And the worst thing about gambling is that if you aren't winning,you could find your self in debt and if you fail to payback this could ruin your business relation with creditors, and if creditor is your friend this could be the end of the road for such a relationship.

Bitcointalk is a lifestyle! Had Bitcointalk not existed we might not have had Bitcoin as the Satosh brand of this world originates from here , or maybe it would have taken alot of time for us to know about cryptocurrencies as it might have launched on a different forum as this was bound to happen as it was it's fate to be known to the world... But honestly, without BCT means no BTC and some other form of digital currency was definitely going to make its way to the big leagues especially that we live in a digital world that heavily relies on all sorts of digital platforms and can't imagine how it would have turned out without it...good thing the forum happened and Bitcoin was born, the rest is history  |

this should mean that Bonta is disqualified from the competition. In that case, all duels against him will be written as 3-0.
After making a successful appearance in the BSFL competition and only to be disqualified for ones personal reasons should sack, hope nothing serious that kept you away  Lesson for us that try to beat the 11th hour. So, we said we don't have a fixed deadline for today's submission. We have now recalculated and the deadline is 18:00 GMT.
Does this mean that the deadline time will be pushed to 18:00 forum time from now on or this was only done for this gameweek??
Lastly, for game week 3 I see am paired against Danydee again, do I get a point here based on the walkover or this means neither me nor Danydee will be scoring points for GW3  |

Let's talk about small scale businesses that have low risks and promising profits so that we can have capital to invest and become passive income in the future. Depending on which country you are coming from, and depending on the weather situation there, I believe low risk businesses to consider is anything agriculture related, but for something I would advise low risk and weather selective it has to be fish farming... Other possible choices available are YouTubing, drop shipping etc Do you have a small business idea? or business experience? I want to hear it
Unfortunately all business ideas I have ventured into are high risk, it's either repair/maintainance costs cut through your profits or people responsible for running the business are acting dishonest, it's a tough world out there.. But it is what it is never give up. |

Honestly you are a good friend to your buddies, you haven't sugar coated what Bitcoin is all about, you have lead out all the positives and negatives about it which is a great start, but having to navigate around the legal aspect of it will be the difference...
But the best approach will be to ask them, what do they have to lose if they invest a few minutes of their time getting to know how Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies work versus remaining unemployed when the crypto industry has opportunities out there waiting for them through investments and every other ventures that will reward them for their time... It's now or never , the crypto train isn't waiting for anybody.

Death is one thing very few of us want to talk about or prepare for because it's a terrifying topic,but truth of the matter is everyone of us will walk down this road. And honestly the better we confront this reality the better and if we know that that we can help family in one way or another should our assets pass onto someone more else then we need someone trust worthy to have this access... But unfortunately with crypto where we have total control of such assets, am afraid to say these will remain forever locked unless he has some backups somewhere. And in all his family, friends, no body knew the password to unlock his phone or computer, not even his girl friend.
They have tried all the password ideas they had but non was correct, at the end, they had to reset the phones back to their factory settings , right now as I am typing this post, the family have no idea how they can access the casinos where the guy left tens of thousands of dollars, and neither do they have any idea how to access the money. With casinos, am pretty sure his ID can be used to grant them access to his account(s) or a court can be used aswell . But resetting his mobile device won't help them and need to find other ways to gain access... The guy is also an investor in crypto currencies, and I personally believe he also have investments in crypto coins which the family may also never be able to access.
These might never be recovered unless they are on some third party platform, but let them try to start with an email address to see what he has been up to... |

Not that I'm a charting expert or a good technical or fundamental analyst let alone a bear, but I'm really surprised at the spike that's happened, and which is probably continuously happening as of this writing. So far, the price has already hit above $34,000. That's already more than 12% in growth in just 24 hours. For someone like me that trades currencies, I will tell you that such moves are usually seen whenever there is news and I must make mention that this is the most volatile time to trade these assets as liquidity is more... For crypto, this isn't any different as his usually happens when we have news, and this being a bullish spike means the news was in favour of the bulls and everyone is buying and you wouldn't want to catch a falling knife, trade with the trend which is currently bullish. Has anybody somehow expected this kind of thing? Has anybody had at least a tiny clue that something like this would happen? I think for the last couple of months, we all have been bullish in anticipation of the Bitcoin spot ETF and the halving, so I guess the move was very much expected despite it originating from a fake news approval. Those who didn't buy when the price was around $26k since they were expecting a further drop must be regretting their decision now when there are no signs of it going back to that area anytime soon, but still, since the market is highly unpredictable, anything can happen, and the price might drop again.
Price hasn't travelled far enough for us to feel safe that it cannot come back to this price of 26K , besides for a higher high to be created a higher low needs to be posted which is the pullback before a new high is made.. Otherwise you are right about markets being unpredictable, though we still remain bullish even if price pulls back briefly.. |

Not sure if I can call it weird but I bought some ICO tokens of a gaming project that I thought and looked promising on paper at the time ,and only realised I was given 90% of the total supply when I only bought a small fraction which was weird , but unlucky me this project went under the bus and still hold these shitcoins till this day  Back when Netflix used to offer free trials there was a guy on Reddit who would create an account for you and I used to pay him a few bucks in BTC each month for a new account. It was better than paying full price. Sadly, Netflix stopped offering these trials because too many people were abusing it to get free or discounted subscriptions.
Bitcoins well spent, to save a few bucks love it But if not mistaken, Netflix still offers these trials for some countries though this service of selling such accounts has gone down as sharing accounts isn't as easy as it was. |

Let's be honest here, casino games aren't anywhere near sport's betting, for sports betting you can manage to make a 3odds bet and stake your full bank roll and win but with casino games you can't always win in one hit and you should be ready to play a good number of hands before the game turns in favour of you, so a few losses are very much normal still you wait for your winning run to come and not necessarily that you are chasing your losses, but waiting for the winning train. Conclusion: I will never gamble again when I’m bored or chase loss small amount. With this exhilarating experience. I think I will stop gambling for a long time and reflec on what dumb thing I do today.
Lol can relate, anything that offsets your mood can affect you potential to win and am pretty sure most gamblers have experienced this.. |

He thinks that with the lotto outlet, he will encourage people to gamble which is against his morals so it is a battle between his conscience and the profit. It's good to know his a morally upright person, but like you said, his business isn't doing well and very few businesses can compete with the other big stores around...I think a business different from what's available is the best option and in this case the lotto outlet wouldn't be bad as his not the person running it and secondly some good money will be coming his way To your friend, let him not feel guilty about this deal as his not the owner of the business and treat this as a business relationship and will not affect his moral compass. So what's the best decision to take he is afraid if he lets go of this opportunity the lotto agent will eventually find a location in their place and eventually lose the opportunity to make a profit.
That's the risk that's there if he doesn't allow the Lotto outlet to setup shop, besides very few will commit to always pay him for whatever it is rentals, lease agreement benefits etc as few can compete with the big stores, otherwise let him transfer that competition to someone else and have a peace of mind! |

Hey welcome to the Bitcointalk forum Coming back to the topic, besides what mempool says which is a confirmed transaction by now( confirmations above 3 are a standard for most third party services that avoid double spending or a Reversal in simpler terms)... From cryptospends side, has this transaction being acknowledged as a receipt of the said Bitcoins on their side? If yes, then your coins are ready for use ànd no need to wait for more confirmations , good luck. |

Francis Ngannou just left a real dent on the sport of Boxing after the weekends match, and Tyson Fury's ego and winning record should be dented by now because the people's choice says Tyson lost .
Had it not been for that 96-93 scorecard that saw the decider go to the wire by a split decision, Francis would have been the winner...and the organisers should be feeling guilty by now because they know it too.
Btw talk about the knockdown, bruised face, black eye and all other highlights of this match..all point in the direction of a Francis Ngannou win, and hope they find a way to correct this blunder.

As a Blockchain Wizard, I'm convinced: Bitcoin is magic internet money.
Bitcoin might be not really money – but it's internet money. And it's not just internet money, it's magic internet money. You make this sound like Bitcoin can not be used anywhere else besides the internet which is the wrong picture!! The same way we use fiat IRL and online is pretty much the same way we can use Bitcoin without restrictions, and to ensure anybody doesn't run into problems a Bitcoin card can be used to facilitate these transactions. We can attribute a lot of characteristics to Bitcoin but we really need to realize at some point, how magical Bitcoin is as an internet money. By definition, it is internet money! Bitcoin has a magical history, where it’s even unknown, who developed it. It's already very magical because probably, we will never know, who Satoshi Nakamoto really is. But for sure, he was a really good coder, who inventecd Bitcoin. Bitcoin is Pseudonymous by nature which makes perfect sense to have the creator unknown and guarantee his security too.. And Bitcoin doesn't really exist, it's just code and we can "see" it in our wallet, we can't touch it like real cash, because it's only 0 or 1 (or hashs).
Would you say PayPal doesn't exist because its physical form is in bits of 1s and 0s ?? I doubt it, Bitcoin and PayPal aren't any different afaik and if people recognise PayPal to be real then Bitcoin deserves the same recognition!!! |

Not a bad idea, but then again if we are to consider which services serve the forum the most it will all point back to signature campaigns that also branch out to other services like signature designs, signature & avatar contests, and shows that they are an integral part of the forum and should be kept where they are...
Like what has been suggested already, what if a child board of "other digital services" were created to allow for easier listing of services to avoid the Sig cluster, I think this could work especially that the services benefit an individual that takes services away from the forum, unlike sigs that serve the forum .

First we must understand that it's not about age as people gamble for different reasons like: - people gamble for fun
- people gamble to make money(profit)
- others gamble for the purpose of socializing
- others gamble to try get distracted from something, etc
But if we try to put an age when people need to retire from gambling, it might be considered as some kind of discrimination but perfect time to stop is when you have other responsibilities that need your time and can't make time to gamble anymore then this should tell you that you are done... otherwise age shouldn't be something to tell you that you are done! |

They say a bird in hand is better than two birds in the bush and like you said "human needs are insatiable " and if we marry these two days it gives a hint that our lifestyles will always be like this , nomatter how much help you give it will never be enough, nomatter how much one tries to sort out problems today they to will not be enough as other responsibilities will pop out..which tells me let's be prudent and work with available resources nomatter how small they go a long way, if it's saving some money for small Bitcoin investments let it be..in the future this will make financial sense and is advisable to work with whatever resources are available!!

I know that these are all pure assumptions, but instead of speculating massive ATH and 3x or 4x returns, which are way too common in the forum, why not expect something that is more probable to happen in the near future? The reason for the high assumptions is because It's easier to achieve higher returns when a coin just gets listed onto the markets than a coin that has been in the markets for a long time, and in this case Bitcoin has been around for a while and seems to have slowed down greatly because the majority of crypto users aren't buying a whole Bitcoin because of the high price and will need investor money to push it higher.
And to be honest, doubling your investment is a great yield that cannot easily be found in other forms of investment.
Any investment strategies that allow for easy doubling of capital can not be found in the open,if it were this easy people would have been super rich by now. In the case of Bitcoin, it was easy to make 5x or 10x your capital because this was undervalued at the time and it grew with demand, and unfortunately today it seems to have slowed down because price has gone up alot and will need deep pockets for the doubling to be possible once again. |
