Question I want to ask the members of this forum: In your opinion, is Lucius a person who only meets his signature quota, which would mean that he is a signature spammer, or are user comments like dkbit98 completely unfounded and inappropriate?

No, you are not a signature spammer! I have constantly benefited from the posts you made in the past. Here are some in threads I also posted in, or threads I intended to post in but succumbed to forgetfulness. I regularly post in Economics, Speculation and Wallets so that's mainly where I find your posts.

If someone wants maximum security when using mobile crypto wallets, in my opinion one of the safest options is that such wallets are used in combination with hardware wallets. Of course, this requires an additional cost in the form of buying an extra device - but it actually gives us a lot of security because private keys and all important operations take place outside the mobile device.

Although if the tips given by other members are applied, the mobile device can be a fairly secure way to store crypto - emphasizing that it shouldn't be large amounts, because despite all the security measures it really doesn't make sense for me to have thousands of dollars worth of BTC on mobile device.

I wasn't referring to you personally; rather I was just speaking in generalities.

I assumed you were referring to something from my post because you quote me, no problem Wink

It is true that most do not care about privacy at all, as if they have consciously sacrificed it for the modern way of life - it is unbelievable that the growing invasion on privacy passes almost without any resistance. Good information for DEX, if this is accurate data then it is really an indication that users are increasingly turning to decentralized crypto exchanges which should mean that things are changing for the better.

In the event that a significant portion of the crypto market switches to DEX, do you think the authorities have an effective way to combat it in the sense that they require these services to take some action against their users? Specifically, if funds from terrorist organizations were transferred via DEX and also mixed via coinmixers, would that be something that would mean complete anonymity?

How hard can it be to detect that you computer is under full load even when idle or just doing some non-intensive tasks? Your fans will get louder, you might notice some heat, your performance will slow down.

Some simply ignore the noise level produced by the computer thinking it is normal, but the creators of crypto mining malware also adapt in such a way that they do not use the maximum power of the CPU, which then does not result in a significant slowdown or increase in noise.

Either way, it's nice to see crypto have a resurgence in the past months as an alternative to traditional finance and business. My dad, a blue-collar worker that will rely on his retirement is FINALLY reaching back out to explore investment opportunities in Bitcoin...

What are you hoping to get out of this 'Great Reset?' Are you adapting? Because at this point, whether the industry, it is evolving to something similar to The Hunger Games or even the survival of the fittest.

All indicators show that we are sure to face one of the biggest recessions in the last 100 years, and the virus has only accelerated it and will make it even bigger than it should have been. All of this is really just a part of what rolled back in 2008, and the intelligent ones have long since begun to prepare for everything that has followed and for what is yet to come. However, I do not think that an apocalyptic scenario awaits us, the world is already adapting to new circumstances - and it will certainly be difficult, but people are very resourceful in the most difficult moments.

I do not see how cryptocurrencies would be a global solution to the problem, if we take into account that according to all research, less than 1% of the world's population invest or trade crypto. Not to mention that more than 40% of people in the world do not have internet access at all.

I hope your father knows what risks he faces if he wants to invest in BTC, it's not some magical way money can be multiplied just like that without doing anything.

But, hey, considering BTC price bottoms, you had seen that PlanB tweet from yesterday about the 200Weekly Moving average? Dude posted it, below.

>>>>>ICYMI: #bitcoin is nicely moving away from 200 week moving average. 200WMA is currently $6400, is increasing $200 per month, and has never decreased. Best of all, BTC monthly close has never been below 200WMA.<<<<

https://twitter.com/100trillionusd/status/1296005407983403008?s=21

Can't we have some assurance that the bottom is in (or at least the bottom keeps moving up)? So, in other words, maybe we can feel a certain level of confidence that BTC prices are not going below $6,400... so even $3k or sub $200 is even more out of the question - into the rearview mirror... and with the passage of time, we can start to feel even more confidence regarding even higher and higher bottom BTC prices... because the bottom keeps moving up with the 200 week moving average, no?

Here's the chart from that PlanB tweet:

The bottom is something that is very slippery terrain for BTC, I think it would be pretty frivolous to say that we will never go below $6400 again, because just a few months ago this is exactly what happened. Of course, the x factor should always be taken into account - and in the last case it was the declaration of a pandemic that shook the entire world market - and we know that in the case of anything like that, the price easily goes down and more than 50%.

I would still take the price of $4000 as something that BTC can go backwards, but only if something very negative happens (say a big hack of Coinbase or Binance). Yet what interests me more at the moment is the percentage of correction after the next big bull run, because if we were to reach say $100k, is it realistic to expect us to fall to $20k? The past has shown that this is possible, will it be the same this time?

Generally people in chipmixer campaign are more likely to get harassed about posting to fill their quota, usually by people in lower paying campaigns who can't make it in. In fact almost nobody on the spreadsheet reaches close to 50 posts a week.
