Nowadays, we are sawing many peoples becoming millionaires investing in crypto. Many influencers and investors are telling people their success stories. Those sweet talkings are great to listen to. Then we also start to dream that we can also become wealthy by investing in crypto. Here is the point; We never achieve the experiences and knowing the market environment unless we jump into the field.

In childhood, many of us most probably heard this formula that, One day, two friends planning to learn cycling. So, one brings a cycle and starts practicing, and another brought a book named how to learn cycling. First, one falling every time he was trying, but at last, he knew cycling. But on the other hand, the second friend still does not start practicing, and when he started, he took more time to learn than the first friend. (this is my brother, who is a 30 years old physiotherapist and still does not know cycling)(jokes apart)

In reality, this is more like that. We can't expect a vast return just only seeing and reading tutorials. We must come into the industry and learn what is happening here. Things like

What's even crazier is that he doesn't have a single post written in Italian local board, and probably doesn't even speak Italian ( I see that he used to be active in Turkish board) yet he decided to do that, regularly. Zero fucks given...

Unreal for a Legendary to still be doing this -- they should know better by now. I found another one in the same vein where this post is more-or-less a condensed translation of this article.

Here's a more clear-cut example:

Quote from: ?? on ??

A big deal that not everyone expected is definitely the arrival of Patty Mills to the Brooklyn Nets, an opportunity that will allow both parties to achieve important goals during the upcoming NBA season.
The former San Antonio player will be bound to the franchise for the next two years thanks to a $12 million contract. Another excellent player wiil give then a great support to Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant, ready to chase the title.
Can't wait to see this team in action.

Google Translate bolded words to Italian:

Quote

Un gran colpo che non tutti si aspettavano è sicuramente l’arrivo di Patty Mills ai Brooklyn Nets, un’occasione che permetterà a entrambe le parti di raggiungere importanti obiettivi durante la prossima stagione.

L’ex giocatore dei San Antonio Spurs sarà legato alla franchigia per i prossimi due anni grazie ad un contratto da 12 milioni di dollari. Si aggiunge così un altro ottimo elemento in grado di dare un sostegno non indifferente a Kyrie Irving, James Harden e Kevin Durant, pronti a rincorrere il titolo.

Original source, translated back to English:

Hey guys, how do you see if someone has been banned?

Using bpip.org it's the easiest to see that, here's the @Mpamaegbu account on bpip https://bpip.org/Profile?id=940323 you can see there's a sign of Archived under his profile, mean he has been banned.

Another way you can see on modlog https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php only for recent user (I don't know the exact time) and banned user can't wear a signature.

I suggest you use the BPIP browser extension. some more additional options come with them, very useful for active users
For example how I see Mpamaegbu profile on the forum.

Honestly, I thought I put a link at the end and can't really explain how that skipped me. That thread was closed almost immediately it started and I never went back to it until when this issue came up, perhaps I would've observed I didn't put a link there if it were open and people were posting there. It's an honest slip. I never intended to plagiarize that write-up or anyone's work as I have given references to write-ups/comments I lift or put them in quotes. I even put out links to the two short articles I cited in threads I started before and after this thread in question was made. I wouldn't intentionally leave out referencing a lengthy article that was obviously not mine. It's a slip, frankly. There's nothing I stand to gain doing otherwise.

I think you should create a ban appeal topic in Meta (from a new account).

Quote from: suchmoon on September 04, 2021, 06:06:22 PM

The post in question seems to be referencing the copied text as "smuggled out snippet below" so arguably Mpamaegbu was not trying to claim authorship of that text.

This makes sense, and makes me wonder if the mod who banned him overlooked that.

That seems like a waste of time. If there's more, he shouldn't get unbanned.

After I discovered Pokapoka124's plagiarism, he quickly added a link to the source and escaped the ban. But he is indeed a deliberate plagiarist, as evidenced by the second report. The date of the original is dated January 19, 2021, the plagiarism date is January 21, 2021 (no links provided). If you check his message history, you will understand that he forms most of his texts by copying clippings from new sites.

Quote from: ?? on ??

People usually encrypt messages on Bitcoin blockchain through a sent transaction. These messages varies from different individual and organisation records. The first message recorded on Bitcoin blockchain network was in 2009. It was encrypted in the bitcoin blockchain’s genesis block.
Recently a certain biblical message was seen encrypted in a transaction in block number 666,666 of the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain. The message is a quotation from the sixth book in the New Testament, St.Paul’s epistle to the Romans. It reads: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good – Romans 12:21.”

The individual who sent the transaction paid over $50 in fees. This is quite expensive compared to the normal peak average fee on Bitcoin blockchain in a day via bitinfocharts.com records. This shows that the sender’s interest was to have the transaction, and the message, imbedded in block 666,666. Why pay such a high fee just to save a message on the blockchain?

And what happened in the case of @acquafredda, because as far as I can see this user is active and doesn't even have a signature ban?

I believe i have 5+ good reports on him for plagiarism since January and roughly 15+ unhandled, both good and unhandled reports are exactly the same, worded and reported the same way.

You are correct, despite all of my reports, acquafredda has not been punished yet, i doubt he ever will. Anyways, i was planning to have another run at him later this month since he has not stopped plagiarizing. This post from yesterday was stolen from here (don't ask me to format it because it takes time).

Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.

Despite the repeated blackouts that hit Texas last winter, due to the scarcity of energy reserves, the state presents energy prices that are among the lowest in the world: it's also focusing on renewable energy, so much so that its share in the market is constantly growing: already in 2019, 20% of electricity was from wind power. Texas also has a deregulated market that allows customers to choose their electricity providers and, more crucially, Texas leaders have a very lenient attitude towards fans of the crypto world.

Apparently Monta Ellis isn't the only basketball player looking for a NBA comeback. And that's where the Houston Rockets are leading the way as well.
In fact, they invited Gerald Green to train with the team, the very man who wore the Rockets' red and white jersey as his last NBA jersey. Green hasn't played an official game in the league since 2019, cut from the roster after fracturing his foot in pre-season. In the previous two years, however, the guard averaged 10.3 points per game in about 20 minutes of usage (36.0% from three).
Comebacks aren't always good, let's see.

It sure seems that Franck Ribery still has a lot of desire to play at high levels. After his experience at Fiorentina, the 38-year-old would like to continue playing in Serie A. Hellas Verona and Salernitana are ready to welcome him with but there's a problem: Ribery, at Fiorentina, earned four million euros net per season. To find an agreement with one of the 2 teams he'll have to drastically reduce the salary. Otherwise, his transfer to Italy sounds really complicated.

Since April they have been investing in GBTC. MS has been very active in the crypto space over the past few months just by setting up funds to be dedicated to buying (direct or indirect) Bitcoin and cryptos.
As for indirect purchases on BTC, Morgan Stanley established the Institutional Fund, Institutional Fund Trust, Insight Fund, and Variable Insurance Fund just last April. Each of these funds can invest up to 25% of its assets in bitcoin.
In March, Morgan Stanley had instead established the first fund of its kind, the FS NYDIG Select Bitcoin Fund, which attracted nearly $30 million from investors.
It was the first major U.S. bank to offer its clients the direct purchase of fund shares that allow them to take a position in Bitcoin.

If he decides to appeal the ban, might even help to at least change permaban into signature ban (which I would like to see more often here), if not overturning it completely.

I hope it gets overturned completely. If I post:

Like someone once said, bitcoins have no dividend or potential future dividend, therefore not like a stock.

...I don't think this deserves even a signature ban. It's clearly stated that the words are not mine, therefore not plagiarism, even if not quoted/attributed/etc. In Mpamaegbu's case it's not so obvious but still he did imply that the text is not his.

Quote from: ?? on ??

The government of El Salvador is determined to accelerate the adoption of bitcoin in the country as, in addition to the introduction of ATMs, the Assembly of El Salvador approved this week the Ley de Creación de Fideicomiso Bitcoin. This law creates a fund to guarantee the liquidity of Bitcoin (BTC) trading in the country. In total, the fund will have a capital of US$150 million. The project was conceived by President Bukele himself and endorsed by the Salvadoran Ministry of Finance. The bonus distribution will be in BTC and the user will decide if he wants to convert the amount into dollars, spend or simply keep the BTC.

Bitcoin price going to up or down in this desember?
If you show the Every December is one to remember in Bitcoin, dating all the way back to the first time Bitcoin reached above $1,000. It promptly fell 80% to under $200 by the following December, where it reached its bear market bottom.

Two years later, in December 2017, Bitcoin price topped out once again, putting an end to that bull rally and starting another bear market. The bottom of that bear market was – you guessed it – in December. A temporary “bottom” was even set in December 2019 before a rejection resulted in Black Thursday last year.

In December 2020? Bitcoin price was blasting through former resistance at all-time high – a level it never looked back at, but is now less than $12,000 away.

So in this Desember what expect in btc ?
