Remittances account for 23% of El Salvador's economy. Bank fees on those transfers range from 12.5% (on larger transfers) to 30%+ on smaller transfers—let's call it 20% on average. Bitcoin eliminates those fees via the Chivo app ipso facto: a 4.6% pay raise for the entire country. Awesome.

(This doesn't include the additional savings of not having to waste your day and bus fare and personal safety going to the bank to receive the transfer.)

Following my entry into the crypto world. I was ecstatic to start making money. I eventually came across firms and projects that I thought would go quickly. After all my effort and investment, all I got was a dump. With this background, I would recommend When you're looking into digital cryptocurrency companies and startups, you should confirm that they're blockchain-powered, which means they track detailed transaction data. Also, check that they have solid business plans that solve real problems. Companies should specify their digital currency liquidity and ICO rules. There should be real people behind the company. If the startup you're investigating lacks some of these characteristics, think through your decision even more carefully. That's my humble advice.

Crypto currency is an idea who’s time has come. It is not going away. I don’t think that Bitcoin can fail completely in the short term. It could have some failures and people could move on to different cryptocurrencies and platforms.

For this moment and the immediate future, Bitcoin has proven itself to be incredibly reliable. Exchanges have been hacked. Peoples individual computers have been hacked. However, the Bitcoin core software has been amazingly secure. I don’t see Bitcoin going away at any time in the foreseeable future. However, even if it did it would still have provided the time for other platforms/cryptocurrencies to develop sound and secure footings of their own.

Cryptocurrencies have been incredibly volatile. This is still the early wild wild west period for cryptocurrencies, DeFi, FinTech, and anything else related. It is too early to tell exactly how it will all play out. However, one way or another, this type of technology is the future of money. That does not mean that fiat currencies will go away completely. It does mean that this will be the direction in which financial transactions will be headed.

One way or another, blockchain is here to stay. Even if there was some type of catastrophic failure and the industry lost 90% of its combined market cap, in the panic, it would pick itself up, get itself sorted, and come back stronger, even it did take a few years.

Again, this absolutely is an idea who’s time has come.

There are step i  do follow not to get scam by anyone and am always be extra ordinary careful and moreover you need to be wise when you trading or buying coins
Step 1) trust no one(that includes me). So don't just take someone's word for it do your homework. Also know what a scam looks like. Always ask yourself how does it benefit them. If they are offering you double what you send them it benefits them by keeping what you send and not sending anything back. If they are offering you penies worth of free crypto to retweet there post they get advertising for almost nothing. There is always a benefit to the person doing it. Even writing this post benefits me by hurting scammers and helping people be smart with crypto which helps adoption.

So today I went to my local bitcoin ATM and decided to put roughly 30 euros into my bitcoin. It's not much, but with time, I hope it can grow into something a lot bigger! Keep HODLing!

A fake bitcoin exchange scam involves an attacker creating a site that claims to be a place where you can buy, sell, and exchange bitcoin for other currencies and cryptocurrencies. However, the site either doesn’t actually facilitate bitcoin exchanges, charges excessive fees and prevents you from withdrawing your funds. The fake site may promise considerable returns to encourage you to deposit your crypto or invest heavily upfront. They may provide a guarantee that you will make money. The site may also promise you that you will get free money after you make an initial investment.
The fake exchange may try to pressure you into investing more using harassing calls or emails. Representatives from the fake site may offer additional benefits such as even bigger automatic payouts or guaranteed returns. However, you don’t get any free money after making a deposit, and none of the rewards pan out.

How To Beat and Avoid Fake Bitcoin Exchange Sites

Before you put your money in any exchange, carefully research it online to see what kind of reputation it has. It’s helpful to include words such as “fake,” “scam,” or “complaint” in your search terms. If there are only a few reviews from users, this may also be a sign the site is a scam exchange because thieves may have just set it up after having another fake site busted.

Do not make an account on a bitcoin exchange that promises free money, guaranteed returns, or surprisingly high payouts. You should also avoid sites that offer bonuses in exchange for making trades. Often, the bonus is a lie, and you have to trade for a long time, such as an entire year, to be eligible. By the time your bonus period has been satisfied, the fake exchange has already stolen.

The first thing you need to know is that losses are a part of the experience. Even the most successful traders in the world have experienced losses—it’s impossible to be correct 100% of the time. Sometimes, investments will not go according to plan and the sooner you accept that, the more accustomed to the market you’ll become. Traders may have a tendency to invest in high-risk assets after losses to compensate—this is called “chasing your losses” and may lead to even more losses. This notion is especially true in the case of cryptocurrencies, which leads us to the next thing you should know:

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...

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

@LoyceV, can you perhaps pull up some stats on how many posts Pokapoka124 has edited over the last few days or so?

Unreal for a Legendary to still be doing this -- they should know better by now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He'd been a member since before the merit system, so I don't think he started with zero merits.

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

Copy-pasting articles off Italian media with the help of google translate, basically breaking two forum rules at once: automatic translations and plagiarism.

27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed.

@morvillz7z, I don't know what to say, except to ask the question "Is there anyone else on the forum who doesn't engage in plagiarism?"

As far as I can tell, yes.

UPDATE: Mpamaegbu has responded and will be creating an appeal thread in Meta. Let's do our best to support him

I am one of those people who like to shake the nerves of others, so if Mpamaegbu successfully appeals against the ban and is unbanned, I will provide new evidence since I have something in store. I am such an obnoxious brute only on weekends, on other days I enjoy watching such scandals drinking Piña colada.

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?

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.
If I was mining, I'd go there too.

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.
An old jurassic monster, eating the revolutionary meal.
