The OP meant to say, please explain in your words what you read in the link instead of just posting the link. If there is no sub-forum in your language, you can write in English here by explaining what you understand from the article.

Your Topic question is about purchasing crude oil using BTC but the description is about the list of things that can be purchased with Bitcoin in the next 10 years? How are they related?

Please change your topic title or write the purpose of writing that question.

Hey OP, move this post to Announcement section - Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Service Announcements or Exchange section - Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Service Discussion > Exchanges

An announcement or Intro about exchanges should be posted under the above sections.

Yes, I agree that primarily we need to check the reputation of the company which we can check with the reviews and feedbacks about the exchange. And the number of coins available and Fiat currency availability can be checked on their website. The important thing should be checked is the KYC Requirements to trade. Few exchanges allow trading on them anonymously. I would like to recommend an exchange in addition to the exchanges listed above that pass all the requirements listed above is Coinswitch Exchange.

It's a reputed exchange with good reviews. It supports more than 300+ cryptocurrencies to exchange and also fiat to crypto exchange is available worldwide. And we can trade anonymously on that exchange. It is one of the best exchanges I have used that satisfies all the basic requirements of a user.

When we search for a topic in the Bitcointalk, the search result comes randomly there is no filter or drop-down to search with ascending or descending order. If we want the recent post, the search result shows the recent post somewhere in between or in the last. We need to manually search for that topic. It will be good if we have an option to check the topics with the "Date posted" filter either ascending or descending order.

Example:




In the image, we can see that the search result is not showing the recent post first, but it is random.

Great job OP! Nice video about trading. It would be good if you share this video in the trading section also, as many traders will be active on that board. Most of the trading enthusiasts will be beneficial with the video. I thought of posting your thread there but without your permission, I cannot post it.

In addition to the wallets listed above, I have come across other hardware wallets like Coldcard and Archos Safe-T Mini.

Coldcard is the cheapest bitcoin hardware wallet. Coldcard lets you store and submit your transactions by revealing your private keys like other cryptocurrencies. You’ll need to confirm all your transactions on this external device physically.

Archos Safe-T Mini is a hardware altcoin wallet that is portable. It also has an offline private key storage using an encrypted chipset memory. It has a very easy setup and also multiple cryptocurrency support.

Read here to know more about these hardware wallets. I am sharing it as I came across that even these hardware wallets can be used which are not heard of much.

OP your Video is not available now. I have gone through other Videos about Halving, you can check it here to know about the upcoming Bitcoin halving 2020.

Happy New Year Friends!

I do not know any of the forum members personally but seeing there posts and their presence in the forum, I would like to tell something about the following members:

"Newbies God" - I would say @OgNasty as the god of Newbies. He always encourages the Newbies and give merits to them for their posts. I have observed many of the Newbie threads or post where OgNasty has given a merit.

"Useful Thread Creator" - @tbct_mt2 is one of the forum Members who create useful threads which are useful to everyone in the forum.

"Warner" - @Baofeng will create warning threads on the forum. So that everyone will get alerted before it harms them.

"Pantomath"  - @ETFbitcoin looks like he knows everything and wants to know more.

Some of the exchanges where you can buy BTC with credit card are: CEX.io, Simplex, Coinswitch, etc.

For users who are looking for online retailers to shop with Bitcoins BTC and other cryptos, I found this article useful and sharing it here - Where to Buy With Crypto This Festive Season

List of retailers who accept Cryptocurrencies are:

• Overstock.com
• Alagoria
• eGifter
• Bitcoin Superstore
• CheapAir
• Newegg
• Olodolo
• Forra

There will be a ID verification in most of the exchanges for buying through a credit/debit card. There are some exchanges where ID verification is not necessary for exchanging cryptocurrencies. You can exchange your coins in this exchange.

Hello Everyone, happy Christmas and New year!!

I am sharing one of my threads here -

Crypto Adoption Expanding Everywhere


Thank you.

In my opinion, merit should be given based on the quality of a post and how useful and relevant that post is.

• If the post is good and the topic is old and known to everyone then it should be awarded 1-2 merits.
• If the post is new and useful then it should be given 2-3 merits.
• If the post is too good and benefits more users, then it should be given 5 merits and more.

The maximum smerits a person should give to a post should be below 10. Even though if that post deserves more merits than 10, there are many other members who will be giving the merits. So the number of smerits should be equally distributed to the deserving posts.

From your list I felt Binance, Coinbase, Kucoin and Bitstamp are best. Other than that there are exchanges like Changelly, Coinswitch, etc which have more trading pairs. Though these exchanges are not on the top search, they are actually good exchanges with more Altcoin trading pairs . You can check the reviews about the exchanges and do some more research about the exchanges before making your decisions.

Mobile wallets are convenient for fast and easy trading. But there is a risk of malware and virus attack. Also, if the phone is lost or damaged, then the cryptocurrency in the wallet is lost. The mobile wallets can be used for small purchases. For storing large number of coins, hardware wallets are the best option.

You can buy on any leading exchanges like Binance, Coinswitch, Simplex etc. You can buy Bitcoin with Credit or Debit card with the exchange that supports buying from your location. Before buying on any exchange, please do some research about that platform, check their reviews and then buy.

Post quality threads and try to answer the users query in easier way or simplest way. The Merits will come automatically for the good posts by the community members. Read the pinned rules on every section of the forum and follow the same before posting.

Thanks everyone for commenting on this thread. Now I got to know that how I received that Merit 

On December 2, I have earned a Merit from (Bitcoin Forum) for (Deleted/Off-limits/Ignored). I do not know which is this topic where I have never posted. When I open the Merit giver profile, my own profile is opening and when I open the topic for which the merit is given, there is no such topic. How is this possible? Who gave me that merit? I am confused

I am attaching the screenshot -




Am I scammed? Please help me, what should I do?
