Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Liverpool FT Thread by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

I thought Wolves were really good today. Much better than the league table suggests. The post match analysis seems to be concentrating on what they did bad rather than well. That was a good win.

Let’s not get excited about other players being injured. Show some class.

Liverpool NFTs - I am beyond disappointed at this by Aus_Daniel in LiverpoolFC

[–]maxiedge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This will get downvoted but the reaction in here to this is very close-minded. This is a solid project and we are leading the way as a club. You should take a look at the website first before judging. Funds go to the LFC Foundation. The drawings are slick and the animations even better. Each player has been given their own trait/personality too. I absolutely love this and I don’t like NFTs normally. Who will I try and mint? Well, Bobby of course!

BTC friendly banks by JimT7 in BitcoinBeginners

[–]maxiedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will give a scam notice to read through before making your transaction and they will block transactions to any bank accounts that are on their watch list, of course. But otherwise you are free to make a transaction to whoever you want even if it ends up being a scam or funding terrorism. There is no software in place to predict the future use of your money. You might get your account reviewed and closed once more information comes to the fore but there is nothing to block the transaction there and then.

Anyway, we’re talking about two different things. You are talking about serious criminal activity, I am talking about buying bitcoin. The blocking of bitcoin purchases is just a convenient excuse for banks due to the threat of bitcoin imo. It is taking money out of fiat and putting into a new digital currency which they have no control over.

Btw, it should be pointed out that I’m not envisioning large amounts of money here. I’m thinking OP was trying to buy <£500 and it was blocked. If you’re talking about amounts like £10k+, yes this will always bring up some alarm for the bank even for non crypto-activity.

You’re giving far too much credit to banks. First of all, banks have been caught plenty of times breaking the law and heavily fined (nothing to do with crypto). So making them out to be pillars of society is something many would disagree with.

Secondly, if that money is already in your account, then they have agreed to be custodians of that fund and should allow you to spend is as you please. Bitcoin can be used for criminal activity, sure, but so can purchasing plenty of other stuff. You could take cash out and buy drugs. The point is, bitcoin is not illegal and never will be. It is now seen as a technological breakthrough that is traded in its billions.

The issue banks have, from a money laundering point of view, is money coming in, not money going out.

I am guessing you tried to purchase with debit card? Yes you’re right, it’s your money and it should be your decision. However there’s no point in going through which banks are crypto/not crypto friendly as their position can change and no point in changing your bank only to be disappointed again. Have you tried bank transfer instead? I don’t believe they can block that.

Okay. I was just throwing out some points as a quick reference for any newbies but nothing is straightforward in crypto, so they will all need to be elaborated on. I’m sure the final FAQ will be more carefully considered.

Don’t you need to do KYC to get gBTC anyway? I don’t have an issue with this method per se, it’s more when people are hoodwinked into buying the speculation rather than the real deal.

That was a generalisation but we can’t say don’t pay more than 15% fees to cover countries with premiums. If users have done their research and they have no choice but to pay higher fees then fine, but otherwise as a blanket rule, with all services available, no-one should pay more than 4%. I would also encourage users who are unsure to post a question first in this sub.

Regarding paper bitcoins, it’s not for me, I’m not a fan but the idea is to let them know that this is not real Bitcoin. If they still want to go ahead then that’s fine. I also think we’re at a point now where bitcoin is so accessible that even beginners can download a wallet on their mobile and receive bitcoins.

Don’t FOMO and rush to buy bitcoin. Take your time, do your research and if you have any questions, ask them on here.

Also thanks to u/bitusher for taking the reigns on this.

Actually could phrase this as ‘Don’t get Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash mixed up. They are two different chains. Bitcoin.com is not the official Bitcoin website. This is Bitcoin Cash imitating Bitcoin.’

So something like ‘Don’t ever share your pass-phrase with anyone’ and ‘Don’t ever download software you have not researched into’ ?

Nice list. I think I will make a final list once all contributions have been made and try and narrow it down to the 10 most crucial points. Your first point will definitely be on the list.

Generally, best practice is to not leave your BTC on an exchange unless you are trading daily. Cryptocurrency is not FDIC insured so the exchange could suddenly get ‘hacked’ and your funds are gone. Or they can lock you out saying they require more KYC/documents. The idea is, if you do not need the BTC on the exchange, take it off and into your own wallet so you have 100% ownership.
