Re: Crypto owner losses ≈ $1 million after fake job interview

I feel that the best thing is to avoid talking business to strangers on the internet because most of them most be scammers. Assuming Alex didn't listen to them and ignored their request, he wouldn't have fallen for the video call which he got affected from. I ignore messages or emails from strangers because in my country, you see random numbers sending text and emails from people you don't know. However, offline wallets are the best.
Can we really avoid strangers completely? It takes a day to know someone and then form a relationship with that person. Severally, people we don't know in person but must have seen our work online have reached out to us to either promote a brand or work on some project together. It is our duty to verify if those offers are genuine.

The only mistake I see that Alex did here was not verifying those scammers to ascertain if they are really business people. Alex had that amount of bitcoins but chose to store them in a hot wallet; a device he uses everyday. I consider Alex a victim of his own ignorance.

Re: Traders or Gamblers? Most of Us Don’t Know Which One We Are

Of course, I understand what the OP mean. You will be shocked that majority of newbies coming onboard the cryptospace are jumping into trading as if it's one easy thing to make profit from. Such people are only gambling and not trading because trading is very complex and needs a lot of time to learn and master it...

If you do not use technical and fundamental analysis when opening an order, but rely only on luck, then you are undoubtedly a player. And as practice shows, such a player may even get lucky and make a profit. But in any case, he will still lose his money by continuing to trade in this way.
You see those guys (I don't want to call them traders) who rely on trading signals alone, they are another set of gamblers. Luck is the only thing they hope on, aside that  nothing else. They are many on social media patronizing these platforms who promise them good trading signals that will make them profitable. How easy it is to deceive some people...

Re: Do you consider bitcoin as a currency or as a digital investment asset

Bitcoin being a digital currency and asset of investment applies in many areas of the economy base on the urgent needs for those in adoption for it uses, whenever we are having a desire for running a decentralized economy, then what should first ring in our minds is about bitcoin, because it has the solution of being profitable and applicable to different areas of the financial system as we may want from it.

Nobody would allow BTC to become the biggest nail for the "decentralized" economy.

I would be just happy for them to regulate the usage of it to be as free and wide as possible; that would be it, not that much.
Instead of saying  "nobody would allow BTC to become the biggest nail for the decentralized economy, you should just say "the government won't allow BTC to become...". If I have the chance to, I would without thinking twice.

We don't need the government to make bitcoin more accessible and free to use, bitcoin has been used all these years even when the government kept threatening its ban. Bitcoin is decentralized for a reason and that is why it is free from the government's control. Saying the government should regulate the usage of bitcoin is like handing over powers to the government. All we need is a friendly environment for bitcoin to strive, not some regulations.

Re: The two most important properties of Bitcoin

When you buy gold, you must keep in mind your investment isn't going to return much profit, as it's just going to keep its value through the stability of gold.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin investors are facing major and unusual profits by investing on this cryptocurrency, much superior to what they could make through traditional investments.


This is true but not enough, investing in gold brings less profit but is certainly much safer. Meanwhile, investing in bitcoin will bring better profits, even many times larger, but we will have to face greater risks. We need to be realistic that the higher the return, the higher the risk and vice versa, no exceptions.

Overall, both are good assets and have the potential to be worth investing in and holding. Depending on each person's preferences and investment capabilities, there will be suitable options.
Gold is gold and Bitcoin is Bitcoin, I will not speak less of gold because I find bitcoin more attractive. Both gold and bitcoin carry their own level risks, although one is less risky than the other. Some investors will always choose gold over bitcoin anytime of the day, this is because gold is relatively more stable than bitcoin which is volatile and more suitable for long term investments only. The debate about which is better between bitcoin and gold is long overdue and getting boring. Investors should simply invest in what they understand and are more comfortable with in terms of the risks involved.

When playing any casino game it's important that you always focus on staking low and aiming to win high amounts, although the chances of winning might be low but the most important thing is that you are reducing the risks involved...staking high doesn't really mean that winning is guaranteed, some people stake a high amount of money aiming for a low multiplier and still end up losing.
That's true, staking low allows you to have more opportunities to play and eliminates the pressure of huge losses. I have seen people lose huge amounts of money just trying to chase quick wins with huge stakes, it rarely ends well. Point of gambling should be fun and control, not a risk of risking all at once. Winning big is always possible, but key is your patience and knowing when to stop.


Gambling gives gamblers this illusion if control that makes them believe they know what they are doing and can handle every situation. The sad thing about all of these is that, they still regret some decisions they make. This is one of the reasons why gamblers should always stake low amounts so that they can effectively manage the risks involved in gambling. One can be taken unawares at any time, even those who think that they can control how long or how often they gamble are not safe at all.

Re: Is Trump dictating the market?

Even though I can't agree completely that trump is dictating the crypto market how ever there are some non market forces that play a role in making affecting how the market will move either up or down of which statements from president Donald trump will impact directly on the price of Bitcoin.
I don't think the right word here is "dictate". Trump is simply manipulating the market and we are falling for those manipulations. The first few weeks of Trump's emergence as the president of US saw lots of fluctuations in response to Trump's words and actions, It's somehow normal now though.

If bitcoiners will not react to news on the internet or what Trump says, there will be nothing Trump can do to influence the price of bitcoin. We are the ones making him feel like a dictator.

These are the kinds of projections newbies see online and rush to invest in bitcoin. This calculation above looks very clean and will easily excite anyone who is interested in investing their money. However, I think this post is flawed by the fact that it did not put some factors into consideration. I would want to know from op if he has tried this strategy and consistently earned $100,000 annual profits to be confident enough to recommend this to others.

These calculations above assumes that bitcoin will keep appreciating over the years. Bitcoin operates in cycles; it didn’t address the bear season and volatility. Just the op guaranteeing $100,000 annual profits. This is highly not realistic.

Split up your play time and you will have both more success and also enjoy it more.   Hoping to get a win by continuing to play for more time then its enjoyable is probably one of the most common tricks a gambler will play on themselves to no great advantage.   Play the same hours but later or another day will work out better all round.
How you want to spilt the play time. Do you want to split time to several times. Eg: if If I p[lay 1 hour then I have to spilt that into 6 and play 6 times, each split it will have 10 minutes or something like that? Then everyone know that after several loss the chnce of being a winer is higher in this case I lost a lot of money and for reaching time limit if I stop gambling then how I will recover my lost fund?
I do tell gamblers never to let the idea of trying to recover their funds get into their heads. You might be trying to recover your funds while putting your remaining funds at risks the more.

Enjoy the game, use money you can afford to lose and when you lose, accept it in good faith. There is no special way of recovering losses when playing slot games. Continue playing slot games because you love to play and just trying your luck, not because you want to recover your money. If recovering is the goal, you can as well take a break to avoid more losses.

Re: Another Trezor Scam Attempt!
by
uchegod-21
on 07/09/2025, 19:03:48 UTC
Word of warning to everyone who is using Trezor devices, watch out for new wave of scam attempts!
I just received email that I should update my Trezor and ''enhance my security with secure ease''.
Luckily I learned my lesson long timr ago and I don't click any links, even if they are legit, before I check them.

The thing is if you verify the email you will discover that that message is not from Trezor's official email also we need to be constantly on the lookout for phishing emails to I don't reply to emails if I don't request for it, to be at the safer side, a lot of time, many that fall for this kind of scam did not do their due diligence checks and their lack the knowledge to spot the red flags just like you did.


Thank you for bringing this up here!

The only way this scam can maybe be effective is if these scammers have the right email address of all people that actually own a trezor device, if I am sent this mail now I will just laugh it out because i never own any trezor device.

I saw similar trick but with Ledger hardware wallet and I don't own one either lol, this is the fastest way that these scammers are shooting themselves in the legs, they form email address and sent the messages out or maybe they have email filters but the fact remains, there is no way to know how really owns a Trezor device.

All this drama is about having common sense, to update the firmware of any hardware devices this days it has to be done via the official website, teams will never send you any clickable link through email.
...and you think that these scammers don't also send these messages to those who actually own Trezor devices? Their major victims are these guys who own Trezor devices because everything seems so real, only the observant people will be able to spot even the most insignificant differences that shows that such emails are not  genuine. Scammers are smart these days, they have their ways of getting access to people's data; emails ain't one difficult thing they can't access.

I see no reason why anyone should fall for these kind of scam when they clearly do not own a Trezor device. That is pure stupidity.

This sounds like jungle justice coming from the number one citizen of the US government. Even if he clearly has the interest of the US citizens at heart, a true process should be followed. Everyone has right to live, cases involving lives should not be treated the way Trump handled this; in the eyes of the law, you are innocent until proven guilty by the court of law. I love Trump's energy, however, I will not fail to admit that Trump most times can be a dictator. 

To all citizens, especially strangers in a foreign country, they should be careful with their actions in other people's countries.  Some country heads don't treat foreigners same way they treat their own people.

Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

So we get up and running again soon and I can’t wait. I quite fancy Liverpool’s chances this season. We only lost on penalties to PSG who went on to win it.

We’ve added some top class players, it’s such a hard competition to win but we have as good a chance as anybody.
We are very optimistic that Liverpool still has the best chance among all teams in this season Champions League. Although the first Champions League match has not yet started, I feel a great wave of strength flowing through the Liverpool squad, with many quality new players giving Arne Slot plenty of options to maintain balance.

source actionnetwork
What kind of odds is this one? Is it another format of odds or it is just the normal odds. They are too big to be true. If it is true, someone should tell me lemme put some dollars on Liverpool to win the champions league, it is a possible bet to be honest.
Please I want to know about this odds, they are too huge. Are they real?

Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I can't believe it. I can't believe to see how MU tries to send Onana to the club that is none know about. It seems to me club has no trust on him, and wanna get rid him off the club. If it was La Liga or Serie a, i'm find. However, they wanted him join in the Turkish league club.
I expect rejecting this offer may make Onana gets seat belt on his bench. It's obviously dilemma for him whether to stay but get no minutes or leave with the possibility to stay there forever.
What else did you expect from Manchester United? They can’t keep him to be their third choice keeper because it is disrespectful for him because he was the number one keeper for Manchester United, so is better to let him leave to any place that he will have playing time than staying in Manchester United bench for the rest of the season.

Onana should just accept this offer because Manchester United management and Amorim don’t value him anymore, and Manchester United fans are not happy seeing him in their squad because any opportunity they gave him, he always put them into trouble just as he did in the against Grimsby In the Carabao cup as Manchester United get eliminated.
However, he is a good goalkeeper based on history and he can do well in the Turkish league.
If there are group of players that loan contract used to favor, it is goalkeepers. There is no guarantee that the present Manchester United goalkeeper will do well in the club. He might turn to be worse than Onana and by then Onana would have gone to the Turkish league to development another level of confidence and trust and get better. Then Manchester United will require his services again. It is better than selling him or leaving him on the bench.
If I were Onana, I will accept the contract since my contract and salary with Manchester United is still intact.

Playing draw with a team as rewanda would have been somewhat a big disgrace for our supper eagles, because in recent time the Nigeria football federation have witnessed a lot of excitement from the recent performance of the falcons, so everyone expected that supper eagles will change into something better in this season, but everything seems the same in terms of their performance or even worst right now, supper eagles have not meet up to expectations and there is need for them to get a re-form or even management sacks.
It seems that he did not watch the match between Nigeria and the Rwanda and also you did not bother to check it up on the Livescore to know the actual score before criticizing the super eagles.

Even if we are not comfortable with the poor performance of super eagles in this world cup qualifiers, we should be able to agree that they played good football today and they eventually won the match not draw as you falsely said above.

That true you don't expect that Manchester City should continue to win and have total dominance in the premier League other teams too are preparing and strengthening their squad, so what is happening to Manchester City is not strange to me because over time other teams have improved on their squad and has started competing with Manchester City.
Everyone expected a good return from Manchester city, our expectations were cut short after Manchester city played against Brighton. Currently we should not judge yet seeing the season is too early like I said Manchester city always have a good record of coming back strong, or a little change can as well get the work done meanwhile if Manchester city and Arsenal are not on the top side Liverpool might take the title again. I wonder why other teams are not mentioned like Chelsea, probably waiting for any team to fail so they can take advantage obviously Chelsea is also in the table.
Unfortunately I am not among the everyone that expected that Manchester City will return to their best from this season. I know that Manchester City is not going to win the English Premier League again at least for the next three consecutive seasons.

There is time for everything and they used their time very well to make record in the English Premier League but I am sorry to say there are time has gone. When the won the Champions League, Premier League consecutively and dominated, they felt arrived and began to sell their important players thereby distabilizing their team. So it will take another long time to rebuild

Re: What distance of time is long term investment plans?
by
uchegod-21
on 06/09/2025, 07:27:53 UTC
Investment plans is mainly determine by the nature of the investments  
You are right, the kind of investment determines it. For some investments, one year could be enough to generate all the profits needed, for investments like real estate and even Bitcoin, you need up to 5 years and above to get the profit needed. No two investments are alike, that is why every prospective investor must understand all of these about their investments so they don't end up disappointing themselves with high expectations and unrealistic deadlines from their investments.

Alot of bitcoin investors who think that bitcoin is a waste of time had an unrealistic expectation of bitcoin. 5 years is good because by this time, they must have scaled through volatility and any other challenges that may have risen during the period of the investment.

As much as I am strongly against people accumulating liabilities when they believe within them that they are rich and have arrived, if you are actually wealthy and without debts as you claim, you should be able to afford a car and a house for yourself. No buying any of these does not take away liabilities from you. You will still spend money on renting cars or other means of transportation. Not owning a house does not make you better either, you are still indebted to your landlord.

A combination of both financial discipline and a little comfort and fun is highly adviceable. What is the whole effort for if you can't make life comfortable for yourself?

Bitcoin is both a spending tool and a savings tool. However, without being biased, I use bitcoin more as a long-term savings plan. I spend fiat more than I spend bitcoin. There are lots of bitcoin enthusiasts like me who see and use bitcoin the way I do. The thing is, lots of bitcoiners have limited the use case of bitcoin to just investments purposes only. There is more to this than just investments and/or trading which we have all upheld than what it was originally intended for.

Learn first before investing.  Bitcoin is full of risks which you cannot ignore. You are at risk of errors of commission and omission from your end. You are faced with scarmmers/hackers who try to steal from you. You are also at risk of being kidnaped/ambushed by criminals or kidnappers. Bitcoin is not something that should be joked with. Gather lots of knowledge to scale through all of this so subsequently, you would do everything by yourself without needing the help of a third party.

When you eventually decide to invest, do well to start with Bitcoin. You can improve further when you gather lots of experience.

Re: What If Satoshi Nakamoto Revealed Himself Tomorrow?

One of the best things Satoshi did was to invent bitcoin. Even better was that he disassociated himself from it. I strongly believe Satoshi is out there, alive and well, however the chances that he surfaces are slim to none. It's for the good of bitcoin. Satoshi has done his job well.

If he doesn't distance himself from bitcoin and give full power to the community. No matter how great bitcoin is, if it still depends on him, it will not be able to attract attention and become as great as it is today.

I don't know but I hope and pray he is still alive and will use his 1 million BTC one day. Many people are worried that he will sell all his bitcoins and cause panic in the market but in my opinion he deserves it for his contributions.
On the contrary, if Satoshi should show up today, it will really attract attention as opposed to your saying that it will not get attention.  Right now, the world is already talking about Bitcoin and Satoshi.  There are also lots of talks about Satoshi resurfacing from no where. With all these noise about Satoshi, you can already imagine the wave it will make if Satoshi returns; there will be increased adoption and possible price increase. However we might be witnessing some kinds of manipulation and some form of centralization.

That is why when we are going to play it is Important to see how much money we are going to play with and that money we are willing to lose, that is the key, there is no other way , we are people who in order to act in money matters must plan, and as it is so difficult to determine whether we will Win or not the most logical thing to do is to allocate the money we are willing to lose.

Some folks think that gambling is a sure way to double their money that's why they use money asides their spare cash to play and when they lose they end up being disappointed, definitely speaking mate, the key to enjoying gambling is by doing it with spare cash cause asides that it would always lead to disappointment and depression since there's luck involved. I've figured out that it's mostly addicted folks that fail to plan and allocate their spare money to gambling.
Someone  said there is a spirit behind gambling  Grin,  probably an evil spirit because he could not understand why someone would lose his money and keep gambling with the aim of recovering the money lost. While still in the process of trying to recover the money lost, he ends up losing even more than the money lost earlier.

Well, there is no spirit behind it, that's greed. Gamblers will do anything to win, so it is not surprising to me anymore. There are lots of sensitisation out there for gamblers to learn from but it seems it isn't working on some gamblers. Painful experiences is usually the result of irresponsible gambling.
