Anyone else get their money stolen from [r/simpleswap](r/simpleswap)[_io](r/simpleswap) ? Sent 25 dollars in btc to swap to sol, they cancelled the transaction and “refunded” my money to a random wallet address - after multiple times of telling them to return it to the exact same address that sent it. Luckily only $25 but I’m sure others had had similar experiences? What is the recourse for these scammers? submitted by /u/lobstermashedpotatoe [link] [Kommentare]
Does anyone else ever fall down massive internet rabbit holes and completely lose track of time? I recently stumbled into the world of those unsolved Bitcoin puzzles. I don't know why, but I somehow convinced myself I was going to be the one to finally crack a 1 BTC wallet. Fast forward a few days, and my search history is an absolute trainwreck of "BTC puzzle solver," "cracking SHA-256 hashes," and deep dives into cryptographic theory. Spoiler alert: I did not solve it. I have exactly zero extra Bitcoin to show for my efforts, but I did manage to give myself a massive headache. I’m officially throwing in the towel before I start dreaming in alphanumeric strings. Has anyone else ever gotten ridiculously invested in trying to solve one of these, or am I the only one who thought they were suddenly a master codebreaker? submitted by /u/BoxSavings9234 [link] [Kommentare]
I found a handwritten list of 25 common words “Horse, Music, Pudding…” inside a used book I bought at a market, and I know they are used for Crypto wallets but When I tried to put them inside my metamask app they were too many, we tried on a friend wallet app as well and it also was too many. He suggested some of the words might be a decoy. Or perhaps some wallets have more than 12 words? submitted by /u/StrongZeroSinger [link] [Kommentare]
ETHBTC has been grinding lower for ten months straight, lower high after lower high, squeezing itself into a smaller and smaller range. normally that kind of grind makes people assume more downside is coming. but the thing that stood out to me is volume kept fading the whole way down. every leg lower had less participation than the one before it. that's backwards from what a real breakdown looks like. when sellers are actually in control and pushing price lower, you'd expect volume to pick up, not shrink. fading volume into a squeeze usually means the selling pressure is running out of gas, not building momentum. sellers were getting weaker at the lows, not stronger. a few days ago price tapped a key retracement zone, reversed sharply, and closed back above the top of that descending range. that reversal is the tell. the actual shift in control happened right there, not three candles later once everyone's already convinced. I'm not calling this a guaranteed reversal. if price closes back inside that range on the next few candles, this was a fakeout and the grind lower continues. but until that happens, i'm treating the breakout level as the line that matters, not something to wait on for extra confirmation while it runs away. ten months of compression like this usually resolves fast once it goes. watching to see if it holds above the range or fall back in... submitted by /u/Suitable_Acadia_190 [link] [Kommentare]
When we look at past technologies, like the internet, it was revolutionary at the time, but it was really just a network of computers connected by cables, sending data to each other. Decades later, we got browsers, search engines, online shopping, and eventually companies like Amazon. That’s when the internet became something everyone actually used. What I’m proposing is that crypto hasn’t yet had that next groundbreaking technology built on top of it. Think about it. Why should the average person want to use crypto in its current state? Where are the popular dApps? Why would I transfer my money using crypto when my bank already does it instantly and, for me, for free? Which is why I think crypto needs another technology built together with it. Who knows, maybe someone figures out how to rent out their PC or GPU in exchange for tokens that can then be used to pay for AI models. Crypto wouldn’t be the product, it would be the thing powering the system in the background. But even then, I think that would mostly interest people who are already into tech. What crypto really needs is its own ChatGPT moment. Something so useful that millions of people use it every day without even caring that crypto is running underneath it. Maybe cryptocurrency isn’t the final product. Maybe it’s just one piece of a much bigger puzzle. submitted by /u/sokic [link] [Kommentare]
Bit of a noob question, but I used to swap through platov.cc and now I’m only seeing platov.co everywhere. The interface and branding look very similar, but the domain is different, which always makes me nervous with anything crypto‑related. Did they just move from .cc to .co and leave the old domain behind, or is this a different thing entirely that just looks the same? Anyone here know if platov.co is the same legit service that was on platov.cc, or should I be treating it as a separate, untrusted site and start with a tiny test only? submitted by /u/ibrahimdigital [link] [Kommentare]
The fact that anyone has the power to make a coin is amazing having huge variety and potential but the community is so dumb its so unpredictable what coin will get traction. For example there’s one coin that’s so funny it will have you in tears laughing and another one thats a tweet saying a semi popular person on X just revealed they have a dog… Guess which one hits 20k market cap in 20 minutes. submitted by /u/Illustrious-Buddy383 [link] [Kommentare]
Apparently they always buy OTC which people say doesn't affect the price. If that's the case presumably they'd sell over OTC which also should not affect the price? submitted by /u/rocco85 [link] [Kommentare]
$MSTR can sit for 17 months and be fine. Where will BTC be in 17 months. submitted by /u/Euro347 [link] [Kommentare]
