621  Local / Deutsch (German) / Re: Wo gibts Auflistung aller Hardforks? zb. von BCH? on: September 03, 2021, 08:40:03 AM
Es gab einmal so eine Art Fork Sucher, da gab man seine BTC Adresse ein und der Scanner durchforstete alle seine bekannten Forks ob es noch was zu holen gibt auf der Adresse, muss ich einmal zu Hause nachsehen ob ich diese Adresse noch wo abgespeichert habe, oder eventuell kann sich von euch noch jemand daran erinnern?

Da kann ich mir nur an die hier erinnern, aber die Liste ist relativ klein:
https://findmycoins.ninja/

Allerdings fallen die meisten Forks sowieso kaum ins Gewicht und zumindest die wichtigsten scheinen aufgelistet zu sein.

Am ehesten kann dir glaub ich diese Liste weiterhelfen:
https://forkdrop.io/how-many-bitcoin-forks-are-there

Im Gegensatz zu manchen anderen Listen wird hier zumindest noch zwischen Hard Forks und Airdrops unterschieden, manche Websites werfen beiden in denselben Topf. Ganz komplett scheint diese Liste allerdings auch nicht zu sein, zumindest bei den Airdrops fehlen ein paar wie XLM und OBYTE. Und BCHABC scheint hier auch nicht auf, wobei ich immer davon ausgegangen bin das BCHABC eine neue Bezeichnung für BCH war um stärker zwischen BCH und BSV zu unterscheiden?

Vielleicht ist es diesmal ein Dead Cat Float? Tote Katzen bouncen ja nicht nur sondern können auch auf der Wasseroberfläche floaten :p


Ob ein weiterer Crash im NFT/DeFi-Bereich auch Bitcoin runterziehen könnte? (ja, ich halte das meiste DeFi-Zeuch auch für ... sagen wir mal "wenig brauchbar") Möglicherweise, aber diesmal scheint mir der Aufschwung weitaus mehr von Bitcoin getrieben zu sein als 2017 (besonders Einsatz als Vermögen von Firmen, später dann El-Salvador-News,  etc.), weswegen auch eine Abkopplung BTC<->ETH möglich scheint.

Das ein NFT/Defi Crash Bitcoin runterziehen könnte glaub ich weniger. NFTs werden wenn, dann in Zeitlupe crashen (wenn einzelne Cryptopunks zu Ladenhütern werden wirkt sich das langsamer auf das Preisgeschehen aus als bei regulären Coins) und Defi hatten wir ja schon einige interessante Missgeschicke welche auf BTC keinen merklichen Einfluss hatten.

Can I conclude that the Exchange software is setting the price? Of course, the price is set based on the demand/supply but that software takes care that in case a whale will buy a coin (as example), the price will not stay unchanged.

No. The exchange software is not setting anything, it's merely matching buyers and sellers. The price you see on the ticker is where the highest bid of a buyer meets the lowest ask of a seller, ie. the price at which a sale takes place.

Bitcoin will not appear in your wallet out of thin air, you need to use legal currency for exchange.
When funds have been blocked, it is impossible to use legal currency to exchange bitcoins.

I feel like that's an aspect that is often overlooked when it comes to the "Bitcoin funds terrorism" narrative. Unless the Taliban is running a mining operation or doing bounties / sig campaigns on Bitcointalk, Bitcoin isn't used to fund anything.

Generally I find it weird to put the onus on a currency. If the problem is terrorists buying weapons, maybe prevent the inflow of weapons. I find it hard to believe that the flow of weapons is harder to control than the flow of currency. Unless, of course, there's a conflict of interest involved.

Are you asking about how to get started with daytrading or how to get started with investing?

If you want to get started with daytrading, know that you probably shouldn't. It's a great way to lose money. In a bull market you'll feel like a genius but are very likely to perform worse than the rest of the market, even ignoring fees. In a bear market you're likely to get rekt either way. If you're adamant about getting into daytrading, start by googling for trading strategies and start reading from there. Just be aware that a lot of technical indicators are about as reliable as Astrology.

If you're asking about how to start investing in cryptocurrencies you should really start with learning how to use wallets and keep your coins safe first. This will make you familiar with the technology and more importantly, this will enable you to safeguard your coins yourself once you've taken the leap.

if for fiat it's the central bank governor for a country that decides the local daily currency price against the other fiat currencies

The exchange rate of fiat currencies is not centrally defined either. Yes, some fiat currencies are pegged to another, giving a fixed predefined exchange rate. But that also only lasts until the peg is lifted. Some currencies may even have an "official" exchange rate and a black market exchange rate. However for the most part even the value of governmental fiat currencies are just free-floating relative to one another, depending on market forces which can only be indirectly influenced by governments (e.g. by printing more money or the buying / selling of foreign currency reserves). Then of course, there's factors such as goverment stability and wars, as mentioned by dkbit98.


Additionally, you’ll notice that bitcoin price will vary somewhat between different Exchanges, but not entirely. The specific liquidity on an Exchange affects its price.

The availability of fiat on and off-ramps also seems to play a role. Exchanges that offer limited or no options for direct fiat withdrawal usually have a slightly higher exchange rate than those that make it easier to withdraw fiat.

631  Economy / Economics / Re: The UK's FCA and Binance talks break down on: August 26, 2021, 09:03:19 PM
A few days ago Binance announced that they are going to tighten their KYC requirements:
https://www.binance.com/en/blog/421499824684902585/ecosystem/binance-expands-global-kyc-requirements-to-further-user-protection

I believe that's Binance trying to regain a better foothold with regulators. Keep in mind that Binance's trouble with the FCA also caused them to get disconnected from the European banking system so it's not only their UK business that is affected.

Not so sure how you support the art scene by buying a digital piece of design that was the result of a randomisation of code -- okay, yes, now that I think of it that way, the code is art. But that's not really what they mean, is it?

The benefits for the (digital) art scene are pretty straightforward: Traditional artists -- i.e. the ones creating physical paintings, sculptures, etc -- usually make their living by selling their works, at least when they are successful enough. This income venue was closed off to digital artists, since their works are, well, digital. So now NFTs come along and now digital artists can "sell" originals just like traditional artists do, including all the renown that comes with it. Keep in mind that digital artists were more or less second class citizens in the art world for lacking the ability to sell their works at high class auctions until NFTs came along.

What you get as a buyer of an art NFT, however, is beyond me. I get paying money for original paintings. I also get paying money for digital goods or game cosmetics, to some extend. But I fail to see anything else but digital trading cards in the NFT art market. But maybe that's all it needs to be.


All the same, I do feel that NFTs are a legitimate use case. Once we're past the punks hype, some of that might become clearer.

Same here, but seeing how NFTs have been around for almost a decade and still never went beyond what is now a modern version of Rare Pepes I'm not so sure anymore.

At this point the main question is whether we're looking at baseball cards or beanie babies.

But Visa are the provider of crypto.com so they already have their hand in the pie of cryptocurrencies.
They have been working on their own payment processing for a while now so not needing to support these crypto companies such as the fore mentioned one.

VISA is also the provider -- at least indirectly -- for the debit card offerings of Binance and other exchanges, so they have pretty much embraced cryptocurrencies at this point. However this doesn't necessarily mean they are especially committed to it since VISA only provides the payment network -- most of the responsibilities and risks still lie with the exchanges.


This feels kinda strange though, I wonder what they're trying to achieve by this.

I think there's really not much more to it other than what they stated in their Tweet: To add something contemporary to their collection of historic commerce artifacts. Keep in mind that USD 150k,- is spare change for VISA so buying an NFT for one of their pet projects does not seem especially out of the ordinary.

637  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Holding KYC Bitcoin and non-KYC Bitcoin on: August 23, 2021, 08:21:26 AM
I don't know how it is in the USA, but in general, you can't show up at your bank today with $1M in cash that you can't justify the origin of. The same for Bitcoin. Appearing today with $1M of dubious origin will set off alarms and you will be investigated, if you cannot justify with documents that they have a legal origin you will be accused of money laundering and tax fraud, even if they have a legal origin. The problem is if you cannot prove it.

Being accused of money laundering and tax fraud is not the same as being guilty of. Sure, there might be some additional paperwork, but in the end you'll worst case have to switch banks and maybe pay more taxes than you need to since the cost basis and therefore the taxable profits are not fully clear. But unless you've burned every wallet backup you ever had proving the time and therefore roughly the price of your initial purchase shouldn't be a problem. It's all verifiable, public data after all.


You better put it to me, since there are limits, it is easy to withdraw $5K even in several times, but if you have $1M you won't be able to withdraw it from the ATM.

Seems like a bit of a contrived use case, no? Why would you want to withdraw $1M, in cash, all at once? Not even regular bank ATMs hold close that much of an amount.


The non-KYC market has less supply and liquidity than the KYC market and it will become smaller and smaller:

EU wants to ban crypto anonymous transactions and wallets

Devastating "Infrastructure" bill in US - contact your representatives

Agreed, but the EU proposal you're referring to does not say what the article implies. The proposed regulation applies to Crypto Asset Service Providers which refers to centralized platforms such as exchanges, payment gateways and custodial wallets. Person-to-person transactions are explicitely excempt and non-custodial wallets are not even in the scope of the proposal so I'm not sure where the news agencies are pulling that from.

Now I'm not saying that they won't try to regulate non-custodial wallets and person-to-person transactions further down the road, but as is it stands those articles don't seem properly researched.
638  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Holding KYC Bitcoin and non-KYC Bitcoin on: August 22, 2021, 10:24:14 AM
None of the bitcoins that I own were obtained with any kind of KYC and I have absolutely no problem spending them or selling them in the U.S.

Gemini occasionally asks me where I got the bitcoins that I sell on their exchange (AML compliance I assume), and I tell them I obtained them anonymously many years ago (which is the truth). End of discussion.

Yes, I also think that at least in theory even non-KYC Bitcoin shouldn't cause much troubles further down the road, as long as the fiat amounts involved can be explained through your income. Having bought 10 BTC for cash in 2012 is simply not the same as having bought 10 BTC for cash in 2020.

With banks I'm not so sure though. They are generally more wary about cryptocurrencies, so cash-bought Bitcoins may raise some eyebrows there, regardless of the amounts involved. Still, it's not like buying (or selling) Bitcoin is illegal (except for the places where it is, of course) so at worst they can quit their business relations with you.


BTW, it is "money-laundering" only if the coins are associated with a crime.

Precisely this. Just because Bitcoin has allowed people to make gains that seem too good to be true to be legitimate doesn't make it criminal.
639  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto lending platforms on: August 22, 2021, 10:01:58 AM
The parties that are involved with USDC are a bit more transparent and have less of a history of running into trouble with regulators, so I'd also say it's slightly more trustworthy than USDT.

As far as lending is concerned: If you already got money on an exchange for trading purposes I don't see anything wrong with lending it for additional income. But moving money into a stablecoin and then onto a lending platform for the sole purpose of getting better APY than with classical means... hard to say. Even ignoring that there's plenty of scams out there. Maybe with money I could afford to lose but beyond that I'm not fully convinced it's worth the risk. The yield may be more stable compared to, say, index funds (if we're sticking with fiat-denominated investments), but whereas with index funds you're widely diversified across multiple companies, with crypto lending you're not only exposed to a single point of failure, but to two risk factors on top of each other (ie. the stablecoin issuer and the lending platform).

Now maybe those risks are neglibile enough to make it worth the extra gain in yield, but that's up to everyones own personal risk assessment. Let's just say you're right to be wary.
640  Local / Deutsch (German) / Re: Bitcoin Automat Ärger on: August 16, 2021, 07:51:07 PM
Eigentlich müsste jemand so einen Automat irgendwo zentral, aber doch etwas am Rand für 1-2 Tage aufstellen. Also nicht direkt an die Siegessäule, sondern in einer Nebenstrasse. Vorher ordentlich auf den verschiedenen Kanälen Werbung machen, den Automat hinbringen, verankern und dann in einer Nacht und Nebel Aktion nach 2 Nächten wieder entfernen. Sozusagen ein Bitcoin Automat on Tour.  Cheesy Danach zur nächsten Stadt.

Wenn der Automat wirklich gut geht würd ich aber nicht davon ausgehen das der nach 1-2 Tagen noch dort steht, selbst Bankomaten und Ticketautomaten werden gerne mal freigesprengt und im Ganzen mitgenommen Wink
