I guess that's why China is deeply interested in "conquering" (invading) Taiwan. So it can get the world's biggest manufacturer of microprocessors for its own convenience. Only then, China will be able to achieve true technological superiority.

Either way, I have read that China is developing its own chips with Huawei. Not as powerful as US counterparts, but better something than nothing. Unlike the US, China has one of the largest reserves of rare Earth metals. It can use that as "leverage" to get what it wants. We've seen how China used this "card" previously when Trump imposed additional tariffs in "Liberation Day". China has all the cards to win. It's even helping Russia rise from the ground up. The US made this monster, and now it must learn to live with it. We'll see what happens in the future.

If we have another really clear cut case then why not, but I doubt we'll see future case similarly impacting all of bitcoin users at the time.

We know this address belongs to the hacker thanks to the blockchain. Stolen coins have landed on this address. No intermediary.

This case is quite unique for multiple reasons.

The bitcoins haven't moved, can be directly linked to the theft (those do not belong to Satoshi but to the mtgox hack itself). The coins have been tagged, and the hacker clearly knows moving these would trigger news worldwide instantly.

There aren't many events that affected so many Bitcoin users as MtGox (arguably most bitcoin users had an account on MTGox in 2014), where we both know which bitcoins are the stolen bitcoins and have a legal process that would allow distribution of said coins back to creditors.

To be fair, China still lags behind the United States in most areas. But there is no denying that they are developing faster and more strongly than any other country. With such a growth rate, they will sooner or later catch up with the United States if the United States does not accelerate its own growth rate.

In my opinion, the United States needs more solutions than just using trade wars and restricting technology exports to contain this country.

Just because the casino finally paid out doesn't mean this user or anyone should kiss their ass and this thread shouldn't be there for the record. 4 days for a wd doesn't make ya wonder the reason for the delay?

Are they insolvent waiting on deposits to come in? Was the user being investigated? Are they just lazy and don't care about customers til this thread appeared? Don't always dismiss a situation, might be a good or bad reason why this happened.

Yes, thank you! toshi.bet just withdrew my money. I deleted the message from that group.

They have an official telegram group with 60k subs I thought it may be legit.
My bad..

May I request everyone to update your signature with the new code updated here. Please let me know the total number of posts once done.

Cheers,

Through the Telegram app itself, you can tap the bot’s profile information, then select “Report.” After that, choose the appropriate report category from the available options.

I personally selected “Scam or fraud” and then “Deceptive or unrealistic financial claims,” which applies to the bot mentioned by the OP.

Alternatively, You can send an email to abuse@telegram.org including the bot’s details and its link and any relevant evidence to support your report.

Yes, @notoscam is a Telegram related bot that allows you to report scammers and impersonators. Although Telegram supports freedom of speech, any account or content that violates its policies may be taken seriously if sufficient reports are submitted.

They still find value in BTC, just at the different corner of the question - so they too are its audience

It's not that hard to understand and I already wrote about this. He is just ADDING a thread here, where already other threads about problem with blocked funds exist. This has nothing to do with multiple accounts or anything, some of you guys should really control your imagination. We have seen cases like this in the scam section before.

Cases like this for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536944.0
Or the other one from this week actually.

Basic supply and demand!
Since there are fewer Bitcoins in circulation but the same demand, each Bitcoin will be worth more.
Why is that so hard to grasp?


The moment someone "finds" the key of a burner address is the moment the whole ecosystem will be f* beyond recovery!
You're talking here about address collision, if something like this were to happen so early in Bitcoin's history, we've hit a dead end, and no amount of Saylor's memes would be able to patch the damage!

So if I create a new wallet with the intentions of burning a few sats, and I decide to do away with the Private keys, are those addresses still consider to be accessible or inaccessible?. Of course, I'm aware of the theory that talks about the possibility of getting the private keys of an address that doesn't have one, but how many newbies can easily get that concept?.
