Re: Could Bitcoin survive if all hardware wallets suddenly stopped working?

A monoculture is bad for resilience most of the time, which doesn't change for hardware. But would the affected fraction of the circulating coins really be that relevant?

Indeed true but what is more true is, there isn’t a chance that all the hardware wallets would ever stop working making all the coins within it lost to the network. There are always developers looking out for what possible threats that Bitcoin might face and the best way to make amends. Take the block size for an example, it was increased just when there was a need. When the hardware wallets proves to be of less use, there would be some more efficient storage to replace it.

Re: Will banks One day accept Bitcoin deposit?

One day banks will accept Bitcoin as medium of exchange and accept deposits from bitcoiners. As soon as the world powers accept it as medium of exchange.

I read somewhere, a proposal on the possibility of banks accepting Bitcoin to be an advantageous thing towards Bitcoin security. How?

It follows the theory of how easy it is to rob a single individual, a house hold than a bank. While this might be correct, Bitcoin doesn’t operate under this protocol. In fact, it’s more easier to rob exchanges and its users account by brute forcing it than hacking a wallet.

There wouldn’t be much need for you to save Bitcoin investors a bank, your keys maybe but, not having to deposit your Bitcoin with the bank. Bitcoin can’t function in the same way as fiat, you are supposed to be your own bank.

Re: Satoshi Nakamoto Vs (Michael Saylor+BlackRock)

We are always worried about Satoshi's inactivity, wondering when he might become active and start trading his Bitcoins.

Satoshi 5.22% of Total Supply.
Vs
MS , BR 6.57% of Total Supply.

Who will influence the Bitcoin market more, Satoshi or MS,BR?

Worry is the word that doesn’t fit here while bringing in Satoshi Nakamoto in the picture, the founder wouldn’t take any pleasure in causing panic for Bitcoin investors, the founder haven’t been active for years and it’s most likely going to stay that way until Bitcoin is no longer a mystery to majority of the world’s population.

What your analysis didn’t consider though, is the fact that, the other fraction to this analysis have a part to play and they are more than the 5.22 and 6.57% combined.

I've seen several channels and groups promising users sure bet on casino tips to earn money which turns out to be scam at the end of the day, many newbies are victim of this circumstance and so they lure them into hitting much money with little stake amount.
Checking out casinos where op can be using for gambling are found on many crypto currency marketcap platforms like coingecko, CMC, and others, so many gambling crypto ads are found on there.

Betting on casino tips, don’t know what that is. I’ve clearly being seeing some gambling sites make some predictions of their own, some analysis on what happened in the last 3 games of some teams and even head to head. Many at times, I take it for what it’s worth and move ahead to make my own prediction. Trusting in some other person or casinos prediction without knowing their motives is what I don’t think anyone should be doing.

Re: Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?
by

on 27/08/2025, 23:55:46 UTC
As what the question is, Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?

For example, in Finland:

Quote
Veikkaus has the following compulsory loss limits in place applicable to all of their games (excluding Casino Helsinki): €500/day; €2,000/month; and €15,000/year.

https://iclg.com/practice-areas/gambling-laws-and-regulations/finland
I don’t think that would solve any problem. That’s because, they don’t get to qualify people’s income level and majority of those that you find in gambling houses are those that are looking to get money. Many of these people fall below that set limit and would just be gambling them all away anyway. Those who play well above that limit are those that are capable and it sure doesn’t stop them from opening multi accounts which creates even a more bigger problem as they would be breaking casino terms.

Re: Will the under developed nations come out of its under development?

There were no nations that just sprang up already developed with systems that worked, sky scrappers and respect for human rights,  Grin

Every nation had to start somewhere, there were nations that were at the apex of their way of doing things before it changed and now, we define development by certain terms, technology inclusive. That’s why archeologists keeps unearthing mysteries of the ancient world.

Underdeveloped and developing nations would realize what they’ve got and how to utilize it for best results some day and all they need is a good leader to help them see it. After all, not so long ago Dubai was an arid desert and now, the tourists destination of the world.

Re: Gambling as a way to recover the economy, effective or not?

on 26/08/2025, 20:48:00 UTC
While other countries are trying to ban gambling in their countries, there are countries like Sri Lanka who is trying to use gambling as a way to revive their economy. They are aiming to attract gamblers from India and China to contribute to their tourism. Do you think this will be effective? Do you think it is possible to revive a failing economy just from gambling revenue? Would you be willing to travel to Sri Lanka to gamble?

Considering that gambling remains a thriving industry, I think this could go a long way to improve the economy of the country given that, they would be arms open to foreigners to come and gamble away their money, to have that free access and ready to gamble casino for people to experience that which they aren’t at liberty to in their country.

The much we are aware of, you can’t beat the house, you could only have few wins and that means, more funds and jobs for the people of Sri Lanka in the gambling business.

Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

I can't see PSG going back to back UCL champions either but it's fair to put them as favorite. What I disagree is Real Madrid being 3rd favorite ? in front of Inter ? because in my opinion Real should not even be in top 5 and they are only there because of how many UCL trophies they have ...so basically it's always a chance for them to win but not with this current squad and not in first year with Xabi Alonso.

Chelsea already unlocked their strategy and since then, PSG wasn’t a fierce team no more. Last season might come to be their only season in a long while. At the very least, this might well be the season for Bayern Munich or Barcelona. Both teams are showing great resilience in their local league. Like Barcelona having to come back from 2 goals down against Levante to win 3:2 or Baryen Munich trashing Leipzig by 6 goals to nothing. Those are teams that you would say are getting themselves warmed up for the champions league.

as for the other topic you mentioned, the total passes bet, i don't think it's a logical bet to play. i don't think anyone would take this bet with a logical reason and analysis behind it. who can know that? some teams pass more than others, that's true. a team with a counterattacking style will probably pass less than a team that plays with a spread-out formation, but this can change from match to match.

i’ve never analyzed passing statistics in detail before. but for there to be approximately 900 successful passes in a match, there would need to be 10 passes per minute, and that seems a bit challenging. because in the premier league, the ball is “in play” for an average of 55 minutes in a 90-minute match. we’ll see how many passes there are at the end of the match.

If we have to consider teams that stays dominant all game, teams like Arsenal for the premier league and Barcelona in the laliga, we would find these passes to be some worth an easy bet. I had to go look over the West Ham United 1:5 Chelsea fixture on the passes since it’s where I noticed this bet and they did well above 900 passes. Chelsea was able to give 577 passes while West Ham United had 397. That’s a total of 969 passes all together. An over 500 pass with at least 1.50 odd would do greatly for a team.

Re: stop following strategy

while strategy is admirable for continuing to buy bitcoin, we individuals should not be following strategy if they tend to buy bitcoin at its peak. now that bitcoin is declining now is the time to accumulate the most bitcoins as you can again.

I don’t think people actually do that, but when Micro Strategy is buying and it doesn’t matter if it’s at its peak or rock bottom. Investors don’t get to hold or keep their money only to wait on Micro Strategy to announce their plans to buy or actually buy before they do.
As a good Bitcoin investor, DYOR isn’t just a term in the niche, it’s a mandatory approach to have a first and direct understanding of what you are investing in.

DCA remains the approach for many beginner investors and those who don’t hope to take much risk with lump sums, it all comes together to build a sizable portfolio in the end.

This was a surprising result following how late Newcastle equalized and it would have been easier to have ruled the game off as a draw. Liverpool didn’t play at their best today, the red card was all it took to give them the advantage but even then, Newcastle was such a challenge in the end, they just were unable to take the lead or hold the game in a draw. Ekitike has gone to be such a force in Liverpool, has scored in both Liverpool games thus far.

Second loss for Sevilla this season, if they continue like this they will keep losing match after match. The team is in problems on and off the pitch as the fans wants the board out. Today's game was highly controlled my Sevilla but silly mistakes made them go down two times.
I don't think it is over for the team but something needs to start working for the especially with the board issues because it has a psychological effect on the team and the fans.

I watched the game and they really didn’t deserve to loose you know, they fought till the very last second in the game, doing their most not to waste a second in the match and tried their most to prevent Getafe from time wasting. Too bad they allowed Liso to run behind their defense line, that was some defensive error and they were punished badly for it.

Re: Bitcoin Too Big to Die? Effect of "strategic reserves" on bear markets
by

on 23/08/2025, 13:11:58 UTC
Thus: Is Bitcoin now "too big to die"? Could this accelerate the volatility reduction we're already witnessing, and finally pave the road to make it a more stable and "solid" asset, and a true gold competitor?

The news predicting Bitcoin's impending death will not end so soon because some of the major sceptics have not changed their stance. Gary Gensler, Peter Schiff, Warren Buffett and others still believe that Bitcoin will die. The press will always publicize statements by these haters to promote FUD.


These names have always had a major significance in the old ways of finance and doing business and this has left them completely out of the world order that is to come, they don’t see themselves having much significance either and as such, they tend to fight the change, remain adamant and don’t wish to agree to the single law of nature that has advanced through time which is “CHANGE”. Well, we all know what happens to things that don’t change, they break!

Re: What If Satoshi Nakamoto Revealed Himself Tomorrow?

on 23/08/2025, 12:48:57 UTC
On Bitcointalk, I would likely agree it is him. On social media though I will simply believe it is another faketoshi and not. But what will happen tomorrow that will make him reveal himself.

I think this would be the path I would choose for stability. Satoshi Nakamoto has succeeded in concealing this identity for years and knows what it means to Bitcoin, I don’t see a reason why this identity would need revealing. I wouldn’t believe it even if it were to be true, call it self deceit but, it’s one I wouldn’t accept.

OP says if it’s verifiable… what exactly would that verifier be for us to accept I wonder. My best stands on this is, it’s never going to happen.

Tottenham scored the first goal of the match in the 37th minute of the match. The interesting thing is that this is Tottenham's first on target shots. So far, Tottenham players have only made 2 shots

Who would have imagined Tottenham having to draw the first blood in this game for a pre-match bet… seeing how they’ve played, it’s only normal that they did and they didn’t just score the first goal of the game, they proceeded to scoring a second goal. That was a huge mistake from Trafford in trying to give that pass, he ought to have taken  more side approach rather than choosing to go with a forward pass. Pep has got to regret his decisions and would wish it was Enderson in the post as the game looks lost to Manchester City as it is.

It's absolutely commendable to know that betfury have made is compulsory for all account to activate 2fa authentication before the user can be able to carry out any withdrawal from his or her account, this will get complete rid of account hacks and scammers gaining access to account that doesn't belong to them.
This is something I advice and encourage other casinos to emulate as it does help to keep the gambling community safer from scams and other vices.

2FA authentication is a useful feature, and it's good that Betfury cares about the security of its users' funds. However, it's worth noting that 2FA authentication is not a panacea for account hacking. If a user isn't sufficiently concerned about security, hackers will be able to find a way into their account even with 2FA.

It’s indeed true, hackers always do find means to get the job done even with 2FA in place. That’s where, many sites that use 2FA today no longer prefer the email options to it. Many uses Google authenticator app given that, emails are easily hacked and once that is out of the way, it’s always a straight way through to account hacks and you’ve got little to do about it if you don’t get to noticed on the mails.

A unique but strange market in the gambling industry.
While going through Rollbit sportsbook today on what it’s got for the West Ham United vs Chelsea fixture, I find the 4.7 odds given to West Ham United to be a little generous, especially for the fact that, they would be playing host to Chelsea me haven’t lost their first match of the season, chances of Chelsea beating them in this first leg would be really difficult.

However, the market I found to be unique and don’t know if you guys are actively taking this bet is the total passes. The number of passes in a game by a team being ranked and bet upon in an over and under fashion, same way with the goals and corners although, it’s just so much.

Are you guys actively betting on this market?

I can see that everyone can discuss about their crypto and bitcoin. Can I also discuss or post about bitcoin and crypto like others? If anyone could give me some feedback on how I can participate as a new member and I would greatly benefit. Thank you.

You already found out that everyone can discuss freely and still somehow, you don’t see yourself to be part of that “everyone”.

Well, it’s still okay for you to ask but my take is, wherever the comment box is open for you, you are indeed allowed to leave your opinion on the topic of discussion. If you make off comment posts, it would be deleted and if your comments are not welcomed in that thread, you might see it moderated as well. When these things happen, that get scared or act surprised. Just get the message and move on.

Your question strikes me as a little odd because you've been on the forum for a couple of months now, and it's something you could have figured out for yourself instead of waiting for someone to hand it to you on a silver platter.

That’s indeed true although, haven’t registered on the forum might not translate to being active on the users part. Perhaps this user is one of those that just registers an account and don’t find the time to be actively going over what has been posted here over time. The good part is, OP has finally decided to start a portfolio and the best that could be done for OP is a walk through the procedures and safe means to buying Bitcoin. Even then, it doesn’t make the topic less generic.

My advice to OP would always be, know how to secure your Bitcoin by keeping your seed phrases safe and private and ensure to use non custodian wallet in doing so before buying otherwise, OP could be waisting good money in the wrong places.

Re: Password Managers Vulnerability

Then the cyber criminals will overlays fake elements like cookies and banners and even CAPTCHA. And once we fall on clicking the hidden controls, then they can get our sensitive information.

He also demonstrated that the UI follow the mouse cursor, it doesn't matter where you positioned, it will still trigger data autofills. So with this kind of attacks, criminals can gained access to all stored passwords, credit cards, and personal data (including crypto).

He term it as Document Object Model (DOM)-based extension clickjacking.
I haven’t been a fan of using most of those password managers, I think the most I’ve done is to allow Google to save my password for automatic logins but, this was from a time when I wasn’t conscious of security. Now, I’m always about typing my passwords myself, it reminds the mind what the codes are and it’s more safe.

I have had some experiences with these trigger data autofills and it usually plays out when I’m visiting some streaming sites. You get to click a download button and it redirects to another site or page that is completely different from what you clicked. Other times you find an over lay with a hidden X button and sometimes, it doesn’t show at all. Clicking anywhere on the screen redirects to a different page. Most times, we tend to see this to an aggressive form of advertising but, it posses a huge danger of getting hacked.




https://marektoth.com/blog/dom-based-extension-clickjacking/

And after this exposure, most of the password managers remain vulnerable. And as Mark said, when he reach out to them, they never responded. So this is still very serious flaw on their system and hopefully they are going to be patched soon. For sure most of us might have used one or two of those password manager because we think we are safe with them.
So many reds on that chart and their refusal to respond to these concerns only shows just how accurate it could be or they are working behind the scenes to make up for that.
