In a few months, we'll feel sad Bitcoin is down to $75k again.
You were off by an entire cycle… That’s the most accurate prediction of yours you could find after going back more than 4 years? Now you’re saying we drop to $75K after badmouthing me for saying the top was in when we were at $117K. Have you no shame? I would be embarrassed.
I continued my search, and it looks like about US 1% of the population works for minimum wage. But I assume that's mostly in sectors where tipping is mandatory, and that can easily add up to more than the wage itself. I can't say I'm a fan of this system though, it favours corporations instead of individuals.
Forgot about the tipping culture. I hate that about the US, I never know what is acceptable.
In Japan, waiters and waitresses feel awkward about accepting tips. It's totally not a thing.
I’ve given a few Japanese waitresses the tip and they seemed appreciative.
Roppongi? Shibuya?

As much as I like privacy, I think Bitcoin is better off the way it is. If you want privacy, you'll need to work for it.
Bitcoin is anonymous and private enough, as long as the user knows how to use it.
I strongly agree with this.
I have been using bitcoin for more than 8 years, moved thousands and thousands of dollars around the world and nobody knows that it was me.
I can receive payments by anyone in forum with a very decent degree of privacy, or from anyone else. That is quite enough for me.
If you are super paranoid about privacy you can use a mixer for extra privacy. So many options. I like bitcoin the way it it is too.

Don't give ideas LoyceV. They really like to listen to the population and follow their requests.
Hackers can start is to make attacks on Cloudflare as it has a much bigger impact.
In fact, they have become the only target of interest for cyber attacks.

I think the average wage in the US is a lot higher than $10 per hour.
Wiki shows the minimum wage ranges from $7.25 to $17.50, depending on the state.
$7.25 is like £5 an hour. I was earning more than that in my first job 20 years ago. Ridiculous that people are being paid that in a First World Country in 2025.
Safe to say nobody on $7.25 will ever save to buy 1 Bitcoin.
$2.90 here, now its barley enough to bend over and pick off the floor.

20% always with exceptions
Order at counter food/pick up/delivery 15%
I always do 25+% for haircuts
Fixed amounts for certain situations mostly travel related, valet room cleaning butler type duties etc
$5 dirty fiat in the us/1st world countries and 10$ everywhere else.
Trolley dollies 5$ starbs gift cards
15% at the counter and 20% for full service? So you're paying just 5% for someone to come to you, greet you, take your order at your table, bring food to you, come to you to follow up, and clean everything for you without you having to even stand up. wtf is 15% then for?

But why? Why tip for food but not for groceries? Why tip a restaurant but not a nurse? I'm not used to the American "tipping culture", and to me it looks a lot like a trick to have lower advertised prices, while you still pay more. I can't imagine demanding an additional payment every few minutes when I'm at work, but apparently that's completely normal in some sectors.
certain kinds of nurses that provide excellent service certainly receive tips

Some jobs pay like $.20/hr and the only way folks earn is thru tips.

do not feel bad I lived in the USA for 67 of 68 years.
and I lose track of what to tip.
also tipping has been expanded .
Go to a bakery buy bread and cookies and there is a tip jar or worse a tip spot on the iPad and a tip jar.
I tip 0 on the iPad and give 2 to 5 dollars in the tip jar.
But with the diabetes I do not do many bakeries.
a restaurant I tip 18 to 25%
I no longer tip UPS, Fedex, the mail man, DHL and Amazon driver for christmas.
List is long than that.
If it is really really hot or really really cold I tip the gas station guy cause in New Jersey we do not pump gas.

Use a laser printer, laminate the paper.
This and also create more backups and do occasional health checks! It’s extremely more difficult to lose 2 backups at the same time, than losing your single backup. And it’s even more difficult to lose 3, etc.
You will be surprised how difficult it is to lose access to all of your backups without realizing it! It’s almost impossible, if you are a little cautious, to lose all your backups at the same time
By the way, apply BIP38, as an extra precaution (the only precaution actually) against thieves!

"Tipping" and "mandatory" is an oxymoron IMHO. If they're employees, you (employer) pay them. Or are you just offsetting labor costs to the customer?

The reason I do not like paper wallet is because of how hard for me to write down the backup private key but it is easy for me with seed phrase.
It's actually not difficult, even if you don't have an old printer. You can separate the parts before writing them, for example, to memorize a few characters. If you're unsure whether you've written them correctly, use a screen capture or MS Word (or Libre Office on Linux) to temporarily extract the privkey without saving it. Simply leave the window open during the process.
Then, delete the wallet profile and restore it by writing the privkey as if it were a paper backup. If this doesn't work, you can still have the privkey backup in another open window to rewrite. Don't forget to disable the internet and clipboard storage before starting.
That's where an old dumb offline printer comes in handy
In my area, more types of printer ink are available that aren't waterproof, so I prefer to write it down manually. Or, combine the two: print in gray color, then thicken it with a black bold pen.

You can, on different ports, but I wouldn't recommend it. Electrum is much easier if you want multiple user wallets.
Bitcoin Core create lock file, so multiple Bitcoin Core app can't use same folder path to reduce storage usage. Electrum encryption also means other people can't even see your balance, address and TX history, which also is better in terms of privacy.

I always find it funny when people say that Bitcoin should be more private than it is.
These people should forget that nobody knows who created Bitcoin. Nobody knows who Satoshi is; he has managed to remain anonymous to this day. He might even be using bitcoin, which we don't even know about.
Bitcoin is anonymous and private enough, as long as the user knows how to use it.

Bitcoin is even older than paper wallets, so that's not a valid argument to dismiss it. There are other reasons, but there are many reasons why paper wallets can still be used. Even a seed phrase written down on a piece of paper can be called a paper wallet.
The reason I do not like paper wallet is because of how hard for me to write down the backup private key but it is easy for me with seed phrase.
Technically, a paper wallet (created correctly) can be one of the best and safest way to store bitcoin.
Yes but I will prefer what LoyceV said about it, to make seed phrase a paper wallet which will not require copy and paste but to write down the seed phrase.
I can also use a private key of one of the addresses generated by a seed phrase for it.

OP wants to go for the lazy method which is the passkey that some wallets have, the passkey will require your biometry like fingerprint or face detection which can be used to have access to your wallet or be used for the recovery. I will prefer seed phrase to the passkey. I can not also go for anything that is related to paper wallet like brain wallet because I consider them old.

If the issue for you is about the Ledger being closed source
I'm pretty sure the issue is Ledger's lying about "the seed can't leave the secure element":
the future firmware releases will add the ability to unsubscribe from this service
So they went from "the seed can never leave the secure element" to "don't worry, our software broadcasts your seed to our servers" to "trust me, we won't do that again if you don't want to"? Lol.
I'm confused. Is that when you have their "Ledger Seed Recovery" service on? OR the seed could still be broadcasted to Ledger's servers even if the service is OFF?
That's a serious issue.
But OK, the closed source firmware could also a real issue because we're also merely trusting the company that the device is secure.

If 5 people use the same user account on the same PC, you may not be looking at the best setup to securely store your Bitcoins. Is there a reason 5 people in the house all want to use Bitcoin Core, or is this only hypothetical?
There is no specific reason. I'm just wondering if there is an option to run two separate Bitcoin cores on a PC in case such a situation arises in the future.
If you really has to, you may create a shortcut containing a command line arg
--wallet="path_to_your_custom_wallet_location" containing your "
your_wallet_name" folder that has your wallet.dat file.
Of course, unload your wallet first, close Bitcoin Core, and move that to your preferred personal/hidden directory.
Then save that shortcut to your personal folder.
(
instructions depend on your OS)
With that set-up, if you use the shortcut to start Bitcoin Core, your wallet will automatically be loaded on startup. (
including their wallets)
But if your family members use the normal shortcut without the command line arg, it'll only open their loaded wallets.
But be warned that this essentially loads and unloads the wallets as you open and exit Core using the shortcut.
So in a "
pruned" setup, it may get to the point of being unbale to rescan if you left it unloaded for a few weeks (
depending on your prune size settings)

I think that would be the end of Bitcoin as we know it. Governments won't allow it, which will kill mainstream adoption as regulated exchanges would be forced to delist it (like Monero). Developers could face the same faith as Tornado Cash devs.
As much as I like privacy, I think Bitcoin is better off the way it is. If you want privacy, you'll need to work for it.
I don't think so because many countries and companies already own a lot of bitcoin.
Worst thing we can see is bitcoin having another split into separate chains, so we can see who really values privacy.
And even adding optional privacy would be fine for me, similar like litecoin did with mimble wimble.
If we continue the way we are going BlackRock and similar corporations will ''adopt'' and destroy bitcoin sooner or later.

I will try to farm some faucet later. Maybe bridgoro could add a few recommendations of faucets on how to get those coins and which wallets to use. Or if anyone is helping them, please share your wallets and how to get the coins
Be careful not to make mistake like I did in previous round, when I had bitcoin testnet4 coins and Bridgoro exchange accepted only testnet3 coins.
If you are planning to join new Beta Test than first read documentation carefully, and find correct faucet links.
I think so:
mempool shows a transaction every 20 minutes, once in a while replaced by a blockstorm with thousands of transactions in a short amount of time. But mempool is empty and each block includes a few transactions, so low-fee transactions should work.
I will check it out, but I don't understand why they had to switch to testnet4 in the first place... I get it some people started selling worthless testnet coins, but they continue doing the same thing for testnet4 also

Cloudflare is obviously one centralized point that can shut down most of the internet with one push of a button, and some countries even have internet kill switches.
AWS = 50% of the internet down
Cloudflare = the other 50% of the internet down
I think cloudflare have bigger percentage in real life, but anyway this two cloud services are holding most of the internet for sure.

It is honestly scary that a one service provider could affect millions(probably) of internet users globally.
Now imagine this:Cloudflare is very probably an NSA honeypot
In this case, we have a paradox that the service, which is very likely exactly what the admin thinks, can at any moment disable access to all websites that use it. Considering the rich treasure of the forum and the fact that there are alternative services that do the same as CF (some say they do it well), it is not clear to me that this forum still relies on CF.

If 5 people use the same user account on the same PC, you may not be looking at the best setup to securely store your Bitcoins. Is there a reason 5 people in the house all want to use Bitcoin Core, or is this only hypothetical?
There is no specific reason. I'm just wondering if there is an option to run two separate Bitcoin cores on a PC in case such a situation arises in the future.

It's amazing how wide Cloudflare's reach is. To quote theymos:
The Internet is seriously flawed if everyone needs to huddle behind these huge centralized anti-DDoS companies in order to survive...
I am really surprised as how Cloudflare's service disruption could affect the whole of the Internet. This was the biggest Internet outage i experienced due to cloudfare server errors.
And for those who didn't know why the bitcointalk, GPTS, X, almost all of the LLMS and many other sites could be accessible, here is what is going on.

Bottom is ore almost in.
We endured many 30% dumps before.
I always tell myself 30% drops are normal on the way up. Don't get me wrong, I don't like droppings, but I'm not going to panic-sell and miss the 30% increase in a week when everyone who sold now jumps back on the train. There's less and less fundamental reason to have a 4 year cycle, and I'm not going to join a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Every single decline since Bitcoin's inception has been followed by new highs, this time is no different.
It just makes no sense to sell off Bitcoin into a 30% drop just because the FED may not lower the interest by 0.25% next month. Is this going to be a "sell the rumor, buy the news" event?
Wiping out leveraged cunts before resuming the bull.
Now it's time to wipe out the shorts.
A 30% drop is a prelude to a likely 60+% future increase.

Free Market Capitalist wasted another similar idea a few weeks ago. I would request that people DM their idea to theymos so he can pick the one that suits him.

I don't think exchanges or even banks give a shit about where your coins come from, but the fines they've collected over the years make them compliant.
That is true.
Many of us still can remember the days when all exchanges could be used without mandatory KYC.
But I think it's not only about fines, they started arresting people like CZ and putting them in jail, that is much more serious.
The bank has never asked me for proof of the origin of the money

Thanks
Not anymore, but you should try getting small amount from faucets.
I had a bunch of v3 testnet bitcoin but this was on old hardware wallet, and they switched from v3 to v4, and that erased all my coins
Maybe someone knows how to recover this coins, without exposing the keys or messing up something.
Both testnets are severely broken now: v3 coins are hard to get, v4 takes hours to get a confirmation because someone mines only empty blocks.
This sucks.

Regulators could define this part a little better, rather than regulating by instilling fear in exchanges. For example, to know exactly which exchanges have the right to freeze user funds, because we increasingly see that anyone can take someone's coins under the pretext of AML.
If funds are already frozen, the regulator must prescribe the exact procedure for what happens with such coins. In what period of time must it be resolved, and in what ways. As well as what sanctions exchangers bear in case they behave outside such rules.

Let's say you're a restaurant owner, and a terrorist had a meal. He pays with his debit card, and you receive his money. I don't think your account will be frozen for that. If it's a bigger amount, say for buying a car, it's still totally fine as long as it goes through the banking system. If they want to freeze it, they should have frozen it at an earlier stage, not when it reaches your account. And that's part of the problem with crypto: some services freeze funds, others do not.
Yeah, I have been thinking about this situation as well...
Certainly it is similar. And even a doctor may find himself in such situation, where a terrorist had a medical appointment and paid with a wire transfer. Will the doctor have a problem in such situation?

It looks nice. The back cover has a metallic look to it. I guess it's aluminum. It's better than cheap plastic anyways. I won a Trezor Safe 3 in a contest several months ago but I still haven't gotten my hands on it. I can't remember which color it is. I will add the Safe 3 next to your name in the table.
I don't like the small display: as much as I dislike Ledger, their "Nano" was easier to read. I prefer more scrolling over smaller letters that make it impossible to distinguish between for instance "u" and "v".
Same here. The Ledger Nano S divides an address in three parts, while the Trezor One shows everything at once, but I have to strain my eyes to see the characters properly. I hope it will be easier to read on the Trezor Safe 3.

I also agree, I like the simplistic layout and I'm not bothered about it not being "modernized" or up to today's standards. As LoyceV and a few others already mentioned, you've been quoted why the new website isn't being pursued anymore. Epochtalk was supposed to be the updated version of Bitcointalk, but let's say things didn't go as planned and we're "stuck" with the current one.

It’s 100% stolen coins from a phishing attack. Do you think any exchange would accept that?
That's where fungibility comes in play: I bet I have euro bills in my wallet that have been used by criminals at some point in the past. But none of that is my problem, as long as I'm not involved in the crimes, and nobody would blame me for having received those bills.
And that can be interpreted in different ways. For example, a friend of mine bought a mobile phone, which was later found to be stolen. The epilogue is that he returned the phone when the investigation came to that, but he did not get his money back. Yes, when he bought the device, he didn't know it was stolen.
I believe that crypto regulators also adhere to this model.
I agree with examplens, things are not that simple.
I think those concepts of "tainted coins" are going to evolve.
Certainly a dollar bill isn't a problem, as LoyceV pointed out.
But if a terrorist makes a SWIFT deposit to your account, you will face problems and your fiat money will be frozen. I think this is a similar situation... The point is that the thief made already many transactions (to Exolix, from Exolix to OP, and from OP to the CEX), and the authorities just got the last one.

Bitcoin Talk is meant to be a community for Bitcoin enthusiasts. It is not meant to get you addicted to the screen, to get you to click all the fanciest advertisements or anything else. For that reason, I do not mind the old look at all. In fact, this is a classic look that will in my opinion never get out dated considering many other large Forums still adopt similar designs.
If Theymos decides to move for a more modern look, he will have to keep up with what 'modern' means in the future. In my sole opinion, this is a waste of resources for no real benefit.
It would be nice if the Forum would dynamically adapt to the size of the screen. Not for me, I never use my phone to log in to Bitcoin Talk, but I noticed a lot of people do and I imagine it must be difficult to navigate on a small screen size. Other wise, it is as basic as it can be and it is for the better. The way Theymos changed it in time to adapt Bitcoin Talk even for No JavaScript users, to protect against Bots, the Merit system et cetera, it is a highly functional Forum. Why should he change it?
Statistics can be automated on a more modern Forum but then what is the point. I believe it is one of the most interesting parts of the Forum when a Member decides to use information and create a graph, statistics, what not. And like LoyceV, I hate automated algorithms and the less information is automated, filtered, centralized et cetera the better.
And last but not least. As much as I like simplistic modern looks, I would miss this design. It is a representation of what Satoshi created and left us. This design is historic and there is no way I would want it changed only for looks.

I thought of buying Bitcoin because of this and I wondered the opinions of the geniuses here.
If you critically look at the way the market is going this days I think buying now is the best decision any investor can make. $95k price is a unique opportunity and I think it will be more favourable to buy with Lump sum for those that have the financial capacity because it gives them the opportunity to leverage this dip period to accumulate more Bitcoin to their portfolio. The reason why I say that lump sum is more favourable now than DCA is because anybody that have good funds can use this opportunity to buy more Bitcoin but those that want to use DCA may end up not buying much before the price will rise above the present price.

The answer is yes.
No one knows .... But i'm in for it.
You don't sound confident.
If you were a betting man, then on a 50/50 bet, then which side would you take?
Personally I would have a hard time taking such a bet.. since there are only 6-ish weeks remaining in this calendar year.
If I would bet for this year making ATH I really don't know, but I would always go for it as long we are less as 30% from ATH
Well right now, as I type this post, we have ONLY 6.5 weeks before the end of the year.
It is funny how percentages go, yet to go up to the ATH, we have to go up 31.5% from the current price of $96k in order to touch upon the ATH of $126,272 (that is $126,272 / $96,000).. On the other hand, if we want to proclaim how much we dipped from the top, it is ONLY 24% (that is $96,000 / $126,272).. .funny how numbers (maths) work like that.
No matter the calculation.. it is a bit of ground to make up, and surely it is not impossible to happen in 6.5 weeks.

He may never put any dip money in since we may never go to 94k or lower.
But he will do the 5200 with the dca
$10k to invest. Put $5k in right now.
Invest $2,600 for the next 26 weeks at $100 per week.
Invest another $2,400-ish for buying dips that may or may not happen.. and we still need to be happy even if the dips do not happen. $300 starting at $92k then 7 more every $3k down at $89k, $86k, $83k, $80k, $77k $74k and $71k.
Of course there are a variety of ways to be creative since it is likely that a guy has an amount available and then he has an income coming in too.. so both the amount that he has and the amount that he has coming in needs to be accounted.. and since his investment in bitcoin should be 4-10 years or longer, he likely will need a couple of cycles to really make progress.. even though along the way of his investing, he may well have additional money come in that he is able to dedicate to bitcoin investing.. that is if he has enough enthusiasm for bitcoin rather than just cashing out every year, as some people do (and then don't make any progress, even after investing in bitcoin for 10 years or more).
In this market greedy bastards like me can't win. I've been telling myself to buy Bitcoin if it goes down below 100k dollars. However this time I want to see 75k dollars.
You've been here for 8 years, what took you so long?
I will have a question to ask the geniuses here. Is it the right time now to start buying gradually or should I wait a little longer?
I'll tell you next week
More serious answer: "buying gradually" sounds like DCA. The whole point of DCA is that you don't try to time the market, so you can start anytime you want.
If you are ready to buy...
You are correct. Some folks are not "ready to buy." So that is a problem for those people.. yet what are the reasons for their not being "ready to buy?" The devil is in the details, no?
NGL, thinking of taking some profit again next time we hit $100k USD/BTC.
The economic numbers have me a bit spooked, and would be nice to just sit on the cash. Schwab has a really good money market account.
The fact the govt isn't releasing October numbers is... historic.
Not sure we're gunna see $125k USD/BTC before the end of the year.
Would love to be wrong.
Have a great weekend, folks.
Yeah but.
What about early 2026?
The crazy part about today’s losses are that Strategy is currently buying with $700+ million dollars raised from the STRE offering. Saylor confirmed this during an interview this morning. It looks a lot like this market and Strategy are cooked. I don’t see how Saylor doesn’t get sued by his shareholders for all his preferred offerings at this point. Hopefully he has some of that $700+ million earmarked for a weekend pump…
Saylor said in his tweet on Nov 14, 2025 that "
We bought bitcoin every day this week."
He is not missing out on any opportunity to buy Bitcoin whether it's up or down in price.
That is all he can do. So he likely will buy this weekend too right? Not sure if you were trying to have a gotcha moment there or what… He keeps saying he can’t be liquidated, but he sure as hell can send his stock price to $0, get sued, lose, be forced to sell his BTC, and crash the market. Dumb people (you know who you are) think he can’t be liquidated. Anyone with a brain realizes he can be forced to sell by a judge and most likely will after a painful legal battle if his stock price continues to plummet.
A lot of "what ifs" in there, Mr. Legal expert.

Although this contradicts to some extent the principle of decentralization
I dare go a bit stronger than saying "to some extent": those coins are not decentralized at all. They could just as well be running a local database.
"Bank" is the correct term. My local database would never close my accounts, nor would they report my transactions to the government.

Exactly! That decision comes with years of experience.
I used to share Bitcoin pictures and emojis on my WhatsApp status during my early days. I even preached Bitcoin and this forum to some neighbours then. Oh, mine! I guess it was that euphoria from being onto something new I felt a lot of people didn't know about then that made me do that. That feeling of helping someone better their financial standing. Good a thing I later changed houses. My current neighbours don't even know I've the faintest idea what Bitcoin is 😏.

I'm not in charge of the club, just a happy member.
Spreading the fud, remember? Anyway it's obvious LoyceV and Foxpup can't be the same being, for various reasons, with the most important one being the following:
I am celebrating one year in the club next week.
You are all invited to my birthday!
Looking forward to seeing you then!
So that's why I was 6 seconds early today. I just got back from next week's party, and clearly I'm not sober yet....
but Foxpup never came to this party, despite her incredible time-travelling capabilities. So, I believe, Foxpup and LoyceV, can't be the same person.
Perhaps apogio could be LoyceV's alt though.

Do you think the system still works as intended or has it become too slow for newcomers to rank up?
Would love to hear some honest tips from people who’ve been around longer.
I would say that the system works for everyone so far as you are making good posts. I have seen newbies who have earned merits more than their activity counts, so it depends on what kind of posts you do make and which boards of the forum you engage in discussion. That notwithstanding, some persons who have smerits and some merit sources finds it difficult to give merits to newbies because they perceive some of them as those farming accounts and those who make posts in order to farm merits/merit hunting. I can see you have now earned some merits; hope you are excited. Make more productive posts and you will see the merits will start coming on your profile.
If you also make good quality posts and they do not earn merits, you can consider reporting them to LoyceV self-moderated thread so that merit sources and access them and probably give them merits if they are meritable.
Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source

You may want to read
No longer pursuing Epochtalk.
I joined on forum recently, previously I had engagement with X , reddit , Meta. So I'm wondering why this forum still has the Old School vibe. Like back in 2010-2013 we had this types of forums a lot, since than technology advanced a lot.
It's funny how you mention large corporate money makers as examples of advanced technology. We here on Bitcointalk don't want algorithms to tell us what we can read.
Anyday I wake up and discover that this forum has lost this beautiful and calm look, I will leave the forum. Ironically, when I was new here, I clamoured for Mobile App, enhanced graphics and collection just like other social media. But as I grew these years, I discovered that what we have is gold. In the future, here would be regarded as a global mesuem for retaining the old vibe OP referred to.
No I don't think you're going to leave just like that. Perhaps the architects of the forum may seem best for now but as times goes and the bitcointalk forum engineers and technicians comes with and advanced development, I'm sure when you still find it suitable you'll stay.
I also find it uncomfortable how Op tend to compare the forum with the related social and media networks with the compatibilities of visuality.
But in anyways, the olden days as what we've here now will always lay decent foundation for bitcoin talkers in the future.
But we have gone past 3 forum software evolution but here we are with the old unique look. You never can imagine how the human brain works. We have loved and accustomed ourselves with this forum. So, if you bring something completely new, we will unconsciously repel it. I less the update will be done gradually.
Then we have tasted the latest and compared with what we have here and this is better, so we cannot crave for what we have tasted in the other platforms.
So, expect this forum this way for the next decade.

One more reason not to recommend Bitcoin is that I don't need people to know I'm into Bitcoin.
Lol, this is also why I have stopped suggesting or recommending things to people in real life, because I have some harsh experiences in my life where I used to either help people get some stuff done, buy something for them, recommend or suggest them something that they could buy or get into, and then later, if anything had gone wrong with that thing, I used to be the one to take the blame for it because I was involved in the process. I was like, what the hell?
What's even worse is that even if they approach you first because they feel you know more about a certain thing than they do, and if you then suggest something and it doesn't meet their expectations, they will still blame you for it.
That's why I decided never to suggest or recommend anything to anyone and always stay neutral and ask them to check on their own. Even with cryptocurrencies, if people ask me, I tell them to please learn and then decide. I never suggest anything.

It's the same with me. A person asked me for advice on which laptop brand and model to buy even he knew that I am not an expert at it. Later he took my advice, even I emphasized that it's only my thinking and I am unsure that with his limited budget for buying not high standard laptop, it can have disadvantage from physical stuffs to operation efficiency later. He actually complained many things later, that makes me feeling very annoying.
The same with investment advice, you only can share basic information, give them advice but practically, they have their own financial and risk management that all decides their investment practice, then profit or loss. Surely it is easy if they have profit but if they have loss, they will complain their loss like because of you.

That kinda makes sense: if you're not into Bitcoin for the long term, an ETF is much easier to get in and out quickly without sending large amounts of Bitcoin to an exchange.
Right. The ETF will send them to an exchange for you.

Yes, that is true. It will also generate QR codes for the public/private keys, which is pretty nice.
But, it must be run in a browser, and is quite a complex piece of software with 1000s of lines of code.
In my case I wanted a simple, self-contained tool I can verify myself that does just one thing well. That's why I wrote Minikey.

That's a matter of perspective: the 33 XMR is now worth 13k.
That´s impressive. XMR is finally reaching its 2017 ATH
I just looked at coinmarketcap, some big exchanges are still accepting XMR, I thought it was banned from the big ones. Kucoin, Bitifinex, MEXC are still accepting it.
It is impressive to see XMR is surviving this war against privacy.

And the possibility regarding the wallet that consistently appears together with armanda90 wallet is also likely true. In fact there are six TXHash that I have sent above.
A simple logic example: when someone wants to withdraw assets from different places, it is usually done at the same time.
Something like that can’t be a coincidence six times.

Checking these newbies with good ability to earn merit is good but not enough.
Newbies need to learn from other newbies and also from legendary members too. Check merited posts of newbies and legendary members in the forum can give some insights on how to be a valuable member in the forum, and receive merit for posts.
Learn everyday. Don't focus on earning merits, just engage in genuine conversations and enjoy your time. Try to find topics that are of interest to you, or that you have knowledge about. There's literally no need to rush.

I’ve been browsing around the forum lately and noticed that it’s pretty hard for new users to earn their first few merits i’m curious what kind of posts actually get noticed by merit sources or higher-ranked members?
You can check the newbies in LoyceV's list of
Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days, you'll get your answer there.
Do you think the system still works as intended or has it become too slow for newcomers to rank up?
It's not slow, newbies are just too much in a hurry to rank up.
Would love to hear some honest tips from people who’ve been around longer.

You're so pissy about it that you don't even remember what you wrote yourself.
I do remember it.
You claimed that I have zero experience translating text with AI, but then your reply is "So what?".
My response is to your statement that AI corrects errors, which is something that automatic translators that do not use AI also do. Even word processors such as Word do this.
You're the one who made assumptions but then don't like when talked back.
On the contrary. The one who doesn't like having their bullshit taken apart is you, who says that I responded to you, and not to LoyceV, for example. You also say that using AI in general is an offence punishable as plagiarism, which is profoundly stupid.
Someone who doesn't speak English can simply use Google translate,
Why are you wasting my time repeating what has already been said in the thread?
And FYI, Google Translate now uses AI as well.
If you're going to talk rubbish, at least make sure it's not rubbish that has already been debunked in the thread.
You clearly have an issue expressing yourself in order to be so ironic and hostile, calling others stupid whatsoever.
I don't have any issues, I make my points very clear, unlike you. And so far in this thread I have only called you and Satofan44 stupid. You have an issue understanding what you don't like.
Extremely arrogant behaviour.
Are you talking to your mirror?
No one even mentioned about you being reported for plagiarism.
Why do you insist on talking rubbish? This is you:
AI usage is frowned upon and considered an offense similar to plagiarism, a large number of new accounts end up nuked after being reported on the official AI Report thread.

I don't understand why you're being that ironic and pissy because someone simply voiced their opinion?
Because I'm getting fed up with those of you who only know how to repeat the same nonsense that I've debunked in this thread several times.
It's even funnier that you're only addressing me, when LoyceV and Satofan44 had the same opinion.
I replied to LoyceV, you smart aleck.
What's with the "that's your opinion"? That's a weird way to have an internet discussion. To beat you to it: that's my opinion.
What is not just my opinion is that what I said in the OP is a system to prove that you have translated using AI that does comply to forum rules. What you say is a particular moral judgement on the matter that has nothing to do with forum rules.
ChatGPT doesn't need any promotion because it's being used more and more every day, regardless of whether a few people here use it to prove they haven't committed plagiarism or not.
I'm not going to waste any more time dismantling all of you who have a particular moral opinion about how bad you think something is that is allowed by the forum rules. And even less so for rubbish like: “oh, but I prefer to read people writing in broken English rather than using translators”.
And as for that idiot Satofan44, I can't remember if I replied to him or not, and I don't care because he's a typical example of someone who's very clever in one field but completely stupid in everything else.
Regardless of who said it, everyone has the right to say what they want, whether you like it or not.
And I have the right to reply, whether you like it or not.
I understand that claiming to only stick to local boards might be harsh,
It's not harsh, is a way of defending privilege against the most disadvantaged people.
but the idea of encouraging to use AI for translation isn't the best idea and it's also promoting that using AI to write on a simple forum is okay.
That is simply rubbish.
AI usage is frowned upon and considered an offense similar to plagiarism,
Oh yeah? Report me for plagiarism you smart aleck.
a large number of new accounts end up nuked after being reported on the official AI Report thread.
If you're so stupid that you can't tell the difference between using AI to create text and passing it off as your own creation, and using AI to translate, that's not my problem.
Also, I do have experience with AI translation, and I can show you that a badly written text (vocabulary or grammar mistakes) will be corrected during translation from ChatGPT automatically.
Good. So what?

How about we start spreading the news that LoyceV and Foxpup is actually the same being?
This would certainly explain multiple things that don’t make sense. Especially the fact that LoyceV can drink all this ouzo but also be so sober to reply before Foxpup.
I mean LoyceV is a veteran in the club and I am still an intern, but if the requirement to become a veteran myself is to endure drinking this much ouzo, I must realize that I will always remain an intern 😋

No longer pursuing Epochtalk.
I joined on forum recently, previously I had engagement with X , reddit , Meta. So I'm wondering why this forum still has the Old School vibe. Like back in 2010-2013 we had this types of forums a lot, since than technology advanced a lot.
It's funny how you mention large corporate money makers as examples of advanced technology. We here on Bitcointalk don't want algorithms to tell us what we can read.
Anyday I wake up and discover that this forum has lost this beautiful and calm look, I will leave the forum. Ironically, when I was new here, I clamoured for Mobile App, enhanced graphics and collection just like other social media. But as I grew these years, I discovered that what we have is gold. In the future, here would be regarded as a global mesuem for retaining the old vibe OP referred to.

I think they're just pointing the fact that even with the given backup scheme of removing 8 words per backup, the security isn't completely safe.
I've never felt 100% happy with any seed storage method. It's always a compromise between the chance of losing access by myself, and the chance of someone else gaining access. There is no perfect solution, which is why I'm glad there are different approaches to choose from.
I have a simpler method than yours, but you may not like it for some reason. My 24 word seed phrase is simply split into two. The first 12 and last 12 words in different locations and passphrase in third. It would require all three to be compromised so I can ignore anyone finding it. You could say but what if you lose one of these since you have no backups? To solve this I have 2 hardware wallets on which this wallet is. It is extremely unlikely that everything would fail at the same time. The chance is so low that I would accept my universe ordained unlucky life in that case.
How many secure locations do you know where you can safely store your life savings without anyone ever finding it?
No method is perfect and I think it is not worthwhile to spend too much time trying to perfect it. One should just pick one really good method that covers the important bases and considerations and stick for it until there is a good reason to change it. Frequent changing especially for cold storage that is accessed very rarely is a very bad idea. With rarely I mean once in a few months or even years.

How many secure locations do you know where you can safely store your life savings without anyone ever finding it?
Almost all locations for me.
Since I have learned more about wallet on this forum, it is highly not convenient for me anymore not to extend the seed phrase with an extra word that is more than 30 characters long.
It can be encrypted on memory cards or disks. I prefer memory cards which has been the one that I have tested before, but the one that I follow is the use of passphrase.

However, I do tend to agree with LoyceV and Satofan44 in this one. ChatGPT and AI platforms in general won't only translate your text but also polish it.
Which shows that you have plenty of ideas about how AI translation works but zero experience. Never let reality shatter your prejudices. Keep it up, you can do it.
I highly doubt that if you write a post in whatever language and it's not properly written, the AI translation will be. You're still pretending to be someone you're not.
The umpteenth time that nonsense has been repeated in this thread, and we’ve debunked it time and again.
You're not able to communicate with others in English; thus, you're going to use AI to do it?
Of course.
Either stick to your local board or do what you can with whatever English knowledge you have;
Because you say so.
I'll only accept if you use a service to correct a few mistakes, not to change the text entirely.

Compared to keeping the full seed phrase at one location, I wouldn't worry about the risk of brute-forcing 8 words any time soon.

Compared to keeping the full seed phrase at one location, I wouldn't worry about the risk of brute-forcing 8 words any time soon.
Yeah, it's arguable that the suggestion to backup the whole seed phrase isn't any better.
I think they're just pointing the fact that even with the given backup scheme of removing 8 words per backup, the security isn't completely safe.
Plus they can also use a BIP39 Passphrase to counter those arguments.
Seems like it's not entirely a bad idea then. There are clearly some pros and cons based on everyone's replies, but I'm kind of leaning more into trying it out. I really appreciate all of the answers regardless.

Hello fellow bitcoiners & Forum Members. I'm a crypto enthuasist since 2015 , If I recall correctly the first time I had learnt about bitcoin the price was around $3500-$4000/BTC. That time the community of Bitcoin was not that spread like today, so I would hardly find someone to talk about it.
I joined on forum recently, previously I had engagement with X , reddit , Meta. So I'm wondering why this forum still has the Old School vibe. Like back in 2010-2013 we had this types of forums a lot, since than technology advanced a lot. Forums Adopted technology with it, but this one forum still has previous vibe. Why Admins didn't changed the forum.
Even I saw some member's are updating some forums statistics manually , which could have done automated. I'm just curious about it
Long story short, tell yourself that Bitcointalk is a digital museum and it's saved in its original form. Sadly, this forum isn't upgraded, it's 2025 and the forum is not still responsive for smartphones. As I see, theymos doesn't have much time to dedicate to the development of this forum and he decided to keep it as it is, he stopped accepting advertisements on this forum and uses forum funds to pay for servers.
Despite the fact that this forum technologically feels very degraded, I can assure you that it has a great community and lots of talented members. The work of Loycev, TryNinja, bitmover and other forum members prove that this forum is exceptional despite its very old design and features.

I noticed most didn’t go through the link I posted earlier in the thread, so I’ll clear up how OP got scammed and save you guys the stress of having to click it.
OP (the victim) got an email from Ledger impersonators, could be as a result of random spam, data breach, insider… but that’s still a misery to OP.
In short, OP clicked the bait and got phished, the rest was a story…

From the comments a user asked if OP entered his seed anywhere online and he replied “Yes”
…
[FTFY]
I'll never understand how people spend money to buy a hardware wallet, but don't spend some time to understand what they're doing before doing it.
Trend… Hardware wallets are trending.Once i have it, i don’t need to worry about losing my funds
