No need to say much but I'd like to know, without merit how can YOU rate a post as a quality post or how can you appreciate a quality post?

You take appreciation by taking time into reading it, or probably interacting with it if you have something valuable to say. Merits are appreciated if you think a post is of good quality, but it is not required at all. And you definitely don't need the public to know that you appreciate almost anything.

If you want to make it a bit more automated, simply create an affiliate program that's decently attractive for advertisers. If you have an attractive-enough affiliate program, just market it a bit — then you should be getting a lot of interested advertisers as long as your offer seems realistic and that your platform isn't scammy.
1043  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What exchanges allow you to trade derivatives even though it ban in your country on: September 17, 2023, 06:26:04 PM
You use the non-custodial a.k.a. 'DEX' platforms. e.g. dYdX, Synthetix/Lyra, GMX, MUX, Mango Markets — the list goes on and on. If the case is that they ban your country IP, simply use a decent VPN, and that's pretty much it. The only reason to use custodial exchanges today is if you have high amounts of capital that requires a lot of liquidity.

For several days, I have been hearing a lot of buzz about Bitcoin on various online platforms and social media. Although I had no idea about Bitcoin,  so I didn't bother with it.

Of all times, you hear about Bitcoin on social media platforms in a bear market? Lol.

But sure — if you're actually genuine,

This website probably needs UI improvement but you are right, there are some users because of this old layout.
It just needs UX improvements, not necessarily UI. And it should be achieved through the mythical EpochTalk (that's pretty much a dead project now I think lmao).


But does that mean that website shouldn't improve and shouldn't attract new people?
In a business sense, that's going to be next to impossible unless Theymos' takes a huge risk through making a huge change on Bitcointalk — which I doubt he would do.

It will totally depend on how trustworthy the best family candidate is. If that family candidate isn't some gambling/drinking/drug addict and you generally trust him/her to not take your coins while you're still alive, then probably go ahead.

On the other hand, you can just store your recovery seed and some easy-to-understand instructions in a fire-proof safe.

you should have a tablet for mobile and a flip phone.

smart phones suck
the screens are simply too small.



I have a smart phone due to its compact and portable nature — so I can use it when on-the-go especially in public places. Having a tablet(or flip phone, because having to flip it open when on-the-go is a hassle imo) defeats this purpose.

At home, I exclusively use my computer.

As for tablets, I only use mine for design work.

I totally, agree, plus it kind a feels cool to type messages here. Like if one is making posts or messages here on BTT and using this same layout to make some posts, And if one is making them in public like among friends. Then they also become curious. As I have seen many situations like these. Where friend got curious whenever I tried to make a post or message in class. Those who sat near me, started to ask questions related to this and I have only one thing to say, this is a discussion form where you can learn and learn about and through BTC respectively.

I really like this layout and I hope this will never be changed. As, it is very cool and now become a little handy too.

I have no complaints on Bitcointalk's UI/UX as well — when I'm on my computer, that is. It's perfect and I really really love it when I'm on my computer but it's the total utter opposite when I'm on my phone. Quote tweeting multiple people are just the worst UX ever.
1049  Other / Meta / Re: Why Bitcointalk do not have alternative front-ends? on: September 15, 2023, 01:58:40 AM
The least you can do is to install those CSS-modifying browser extensions. Other than that, no.

What kind of front-ends are you interested in anyway? Other types of front-ends exists on other social platforms like Twitter and Reddit.
1050  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Swan Bitcoin's custodian acquired by Ripple on: September 14, 2023, 04:12:39 AM
On a more serious speculation, it appears Ripple is beginning to slowly acquire crypto custodial companies before the next bull market. What is their agenda?

I mean, their main business (whatever there is to do with the XRP coin) is pretty much dead I assume? Smart for them to just buy crypto-related companies because we all know they're far more likely to make money in the future when demand for bitcoin/crypto returns, than whatever they want to do with XRP.
1051  Other / Meta / Re: The comment layout is awful here on: September 14, 2023, 03:00:15 AM
You're pretty much describing Twitter and/or Reddit. If you prefer that layout, you can simply move to there. This old-style forum layout is one of the reasons why a lot of people are here so it'd be counter-intuitive to change it.

(Assuming Theymos is planning on changing anything in the first place lol.)
1052  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If you had AI day trade bitcoin to make profits on: September 13, 2023, 04:48:16 PM
If I actually found a way to use AI to trade bitcoin or whatever cryptocurrency or asset in general effectively, simple — why the heck would I tell anyone? I'd just use whatever method that is and use it heavily until it doesn't work anymore. There's no way that strategy would come out of my mouth.
1053  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Honest question, what to think about “crypto” affiliates or influencers? on: September 13, 2023, 04:01:53 AM
Affiliates and YouTubing is totally fine! Yes, you might be making money trading, but do you know what's better? Making money by trading AND making money through affiliates and YouTube revenue. As long as you do affiliate marketing and YouTubing in a moral and ethical manner.

As for pump and dumpers and people doing fake TA, fuck them.
1054  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ignore the new Apple toys & Invest in Bitcoin, history always repeat itself. on: September 13, 2023, 03:02:00 AM
One of the last big purchases I made using Bitcoin was an iPad. I think I paid 1.25 BTC for it. Looking back, that wasn’t my best purchase and I don’t even use it anymore. So I can attest that if you have some BTC, it isn’t always the best idea to dump it for a new shiny thing, although I’m about to make the same mistake with a Tesla.

Nothing necessarily bad with spending money broskis. It's totally fine if:

- You can use that thing to be more productive for your job/business
- You only spend on things you want from time to time. Buying 'wants' from time to time is good as long as you live below your means

What is life if you cant enjoy your money from time to time?
1055  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The Importance of inviting Newbies to Bitcointalk on: September 13, 2023, 02:38:13 AM
It's honestly not that bad, just needs some getting used to.

There's no way any typical layperson would use other bbcode blocks (and don't even get me started on quoting multiple replies) and say "it's honestly that bad". Companies just made platforms like Twitter and Reddit so so idiot-friendly that Bitcointalk would immediately look and feel ancient.
1056  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are Technical Indicators useless? on: September 12, 2023, 05:17:25 PM
Indicators can increase the probability of making profit in trading, but it deos not 100% guarantee that if a trader use them to trade, that the trader would win. Indicators are just some things to know in trading but strategies is what that is most important.

This. Some people think using technical analysis indicators means that your trades can end up being right with like 80-90% accuracy when done correctly, which is simply ludicrous. In reality, at most, probably a bump up of an extra 5-10% in terms of chances of being right. Doesn't sound that big of a bump, but that extra 5-10% win rate stretched out to hundreds of trades, that number suddenly becomes very relevant.
1057  Economy / Speculation / Re: Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin can go to $5 million? on: September 12, 2023, 04:56:41 PM
Although true, it would still be laughable to compare the Chad Saylor with John McAfee, no? Chad Saylor made one of the largest investments in Bitcoin, and therefore people can't touch him no matter how hard those people laugh at him. John McAfee is a mere snake-oil salesman who used his popularity to shill shitcoins.

Well of course. While McAfee also gave bitcoin and crypto a lot of attention back then despite it being mostly negative attention(still a net win though, I think), Saylor still wins no doubt despite him being crazy af sometimes. He should just stop being some sort of Bitcoin philosopher and he'd be okay in my book lol.
1058  Economy / Speculation / Re: Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin can go to $5 million? on: September 12, 2023, 04:29:38 AM
Is this fake news or does Michael Saylor need to promise that he will eat his dick on national television to get this prediction more attention hehehhee.

If you frequently scream ludicrous things to the public to hopefully get your investment a lot of attention, at some point, people will get tired of your craziness and you'd get a lot less attention as time goes. This is a perfect example of this lol. He might as well say that Bitcoin cures cancer of something that deranged.
1059  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin mining is winning on: September 12, 2023, 03:30:23 AM
So if the price doesn't pump after halving like it always did, there will be a drop in the hash rate. Small miners will be forced to shut down their business and the Bitcoin network will be unsecured. So bull run is necessary after every halving because we need miners to keep mining bitcoin. They will not continue their mining operation if there isn't enough profits for them from mining. Easy math I guess!

I don't think "unsecured" is the right word — just the fact that Bitcoin can be more susceptible to centralization-related attacks; but not necessarily unsecure. Like, even if Bitcoin mining hashrate cuts down to 1/4th of the current hashrate, Bitcoin would still be hella secure(though significantly less).
1060  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The power of influencials and brand ambassadors, don't fall for it. on: September 12, 2023, 03:19:23 AM
You won't ultimately blame these influencers and celebrities, they may not know if it's a scam project they are advertising or not, with the way it would be designed and presented to them that even with research done you still might not find a fault at that moment cause these scamming project are also good as fvck in covering their track. If the government are not declaring or raise an alarm that these projects as scam projects how will it be that the influencer who's just called to do an ambassadorial advert will know.

We have had had some managers in the forum manage scam projects like casinos, exchanges which at the beginning they never showed any signs of scam. And these managers I supposed must have done their own background study before accepting to manage those kind of projects only for it to turn out to be a scam project running away with users money and even leaving the repute of such Manager at risk.

That's only partly true. Unexpected rugpulls/bankruptcies(e.g. BlockFi) aren't the problem — it's mostly the fact that most influencers hop from shilling one project to another in short timespans just to make money off token pump and dumps. It's just them squeezing as much money as they can from their audiences; literally the shittiest way of making money as an influencer.
