Dude, it's not your forum and if you can't get used to the idea that some of your posts are going to get deleted, take a hike and find another forum.  You creating a thread and raging like a baby is not a good way to start out here.  There are rules on bitcointalk that are pretty strict as far as quality of posting goes, and a LOT of posts and threads get deleted.  Get used to it and stop acting like a spoiled cunt.  You should do more reading and less posting--and waaaaay less of telling the mods here what to do.
11042  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does hoarding really hurt Bitcoin? on: November 01, 2017, 12:48:46 AM
I have a different opinion. Hoarding is bad for bitcoin. The money should work. When bitcoins are in the wallets of users, they create a gap in the market and it stimulates the growth of prices. This has nothing to do with the real price. We must face the fact that the bitcoin price will fall to a reasonable level. It will be a shock to everyone who keeps the coins.
And I have the opposite opinion (ain't democracy great?).  It doesn't matter in the least if people hoard bitcoin.  Look at Satoshi's block--that's a hell of a lot of coin that's just been sitting there, not contributing to the crypto economy.  If anything, it's been a boon to the price.  And I would suggest that bitcoin is not a good currency, which is exactly why people are hoarding it and not spending it.  Well, that and the fact that it's deflationary.  I'm quite content to not spend it and I've no problem with people who do likewise.

And another thing:  does hoarding precious metals hurt the metals market?  Nope.  How about the market for rare comic books/coins/whatever?  Nope.  Hoarding only drives up the price.  And bitcoin shares quite a few attributes with metals.  Hoarding, it doesn't hurt anything.

Writing on bills isn't illegal, I'm fairly sure of that.  Writing isn't mutilation.   Cashiers even test the validity of high value notes with a marker--it's common practice.   In any case, how is this related to bitcoin?  And another point is that no one is going to get prosecuted for writing on money.  No law enforcement agency gives two shits about that.  Cops don't even enforce the no-texting-while-driving law, and that could get someone killed.
11044  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A Good Solution Of Too Much Greed In Trading ? on: October 31, 2017, 04:18:47 AM
Control your emotions buddy because if you don't, you might end up being burned. If you don't have control on your emotions and if you panic sell or buy coins, you might lose all your money in trading. If you are not able to have control then don't transfer all your funds into your trading wallet.
Try out with a small amount and then increase the amount later. Buy only on dips and sell only at peaks. Don't buy quite often, invest only on selected days and then forget about it.
This dude has already gotten burned, I can tell.  I think most people who trade shitcoins are straight up gamblers, and when you're a gambler-trader who's glued to your computer screen, trading these hellaciously volatile shitcoins, it's really hard to keep emotions out of the picture--especially greed.  Fear comes in at a close second.  I've tried trading on a small scale and it's very addictive and can be extremely frustrating.   Me, I can't keep emotion out of it, and thus I quit trading quite a while ago.

Did Hilariousandco tell OP that this wasn't a permaban via private message or something?  I've only seen one case where a copy paster got a second chance, which was Lone Shark. 

To answer OP's question, you can have as many accounts as you want on this forum, provided you're not permabanned.  But given how shitty your English is, I'd say one account is one account too many.  You obviously have nothing of value to say, else you wouldn't have stolen someone else's content.  I'm hoping the ban is permanent, but that's just me.

11047  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Warren Buffett Gets Wrong About Bitcoin on: October 30, 2017, 11:12:35 PM
so true. But again, the man is what, 80 years old? He thinks the government is his friend. He is from the loyal generation, where you do what the gov says. If they say jump you jump.

We are the generation of the free people. We will set ourself free from their grasp, and their desire to control us. Fiat could never do this.
Um, no.  Warren Buffett is a man who did everything by the book, and he was very successful in doing so.  The fact that he didn't break any laws in getting to be so wealthy should be an inspiration and not something to mock.  The guy is a genius, and I have crazy amounts of respect for him.  He, like Jamie Dimon, is entitled to his opinion about bitcoin, even if it's one that's unpopular here on bitcointalk, and even if it's one that most wouldn't agree with.  Don't discount what the man says, because his knowledge of financial markets is deep and he's usually spot-on with his assessments.

Either way, his opinion isn't having much of an effect on bitcoin.  The market has its own opinion and right now its diametrically opposed to WB's.
11048  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold: Should We Cash Up or Dive In? on: October 30, 2017, 11:04:29 PM
gold and silver capitulation?
I'm not sure what this phrase means exactly, but maybe that's just me.

Keiser and Schiff--I learned in 2011 not to listen to either one of them.  I know they're successful investors, but they're too in love with their investments, plus they're hucksters.  Permabulls.  They make youtube videos pumping gold, silver, bitcoin, whatever.  They're basically pump & dump guys.

Do I think gold & silver are dead investments?  No, but they're commodities that don't move in price much unless world catastrophes happen, or the markets become extremely irrational, like they did in 2010-11.  And look what happened after that.  Silver has been in a downward spiral ever since.  But those metals are very useful, and they'll always have utility--and that makes them worth something.  I do own both.  Not much, but I think it's worth holding a little metal for a rainy day.  I just don't listen to people who constantly hype them up and play to people's fears of hyperinflation and other gloom & doom.
11049  Economy / Currency exchange / [H] 0.02 btc [N] $122 on: October 30, 2017, 10:35:24 PM
AS stated in title, I need $122 PayPal and have 0.02BTCPlease read the rules below.

Local rules:

1) I will deal with no one under Full member, and I don't want anyone under that rank to even comment here.  If you're a Member or below, I will report your post as having broken my local rule.  Don't even PM me if you're below Full Member.

2) I will only deal with trusted members, and that's at my discretion.

3) Preev rate is what we agree on, so don't try to haggle with me.

4) I will not send first, since the risk is all on my side.

5) I will use the "economic" network fee on Mycelium, which may take a while, but I will send the bitcoin right after receiving the PayPal funds.

Now that we got that out of the way, please post here if you're interested.  I will PM you my PayPal address, and you will have to let me know what your bitcoin address is.

i think you are trying to find excuse for nothing
I think you are a sore loser bizzontch.  As a native English speaker, I can tell you that your English is such that I've had you on my ignore list since I created my account here, basically.  You're in a poor position to judge your own writing skills, believe me.  Most of what I've read of your output on bitcointalk is shitposting nonsense.  You got rejected.  Suck it up like a man and move on.
11051  Economy / Reputation / Re: Got a red trust for posting on off topic ;D on: October 30, 2017, 06:51:17 PM
"Quite long ago"?  The freaking sob suicide story was last month.  Hilarious's feedback was deliciously harsh, but it's your own fault for posting that kind of garbage on bitcointalk.  If you were really near suicide last month, one negative feedback should be the furthest thing from your mind.

Love Vod's comment, too.  "Don't do it!", and then provides a reference to inert gas asphyxiation.  I will refrain from further comments about that, but you're probably not going to get that red removed.  Suck it up and move on.  Next time call a hotline, talk to a shrink or friends, and don't say that sort of thing here.  Nobody here is your friend, believe me.
11052  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Funny: Nigerian Scams Shifting To Bitcoin on: October 30, 2017, 06:39:38 PM
Please do not be racist, there is no where in that message that confirms the location of the sender.

It is well known that these scams emanate from countries all over the world like; Russia, Greece, Indonesia to name a few.

Calling this a Nigerian scam is quite pathetic and racist so I have reported your post
Suck it up, buttercup.  It's not against the rules to be racist, and this doesn't even come close to racism.  The fact is, Nigerian scammers brought this upon themselves with their scams.  Every country in the world has scammers, of course, but some are way worse than others, just like Filipinos are some of the worst shitposters on bitcointalk.  They earned their rep.  If you're this sensitive, maybe  bitcointalk isn't the right forum for you.  Me, I'm glad these things aren't censored.
11053  Economy / Services / Re: 3 dollar to create 2 bitcointalk account on: October 29, 2017, 10:18:54 PM
I'm curious, what's a legitimate need for more than two accounts?

Interestingly, rule 18 here says multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, yet contradicts with "account sales are discouraged".

No it isn't a contradiction.  They're allowed by theymos, but the community members who have brains frown on sales severely, including myself.  You'll get tagged here if you buy or sell accounts.   Same goes if you're an account farmer.  It's totally untrustworthy behavior and needs to be called out as such.

Don't know what this guy's angle is but it looks very shady.
11054  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do think about the negative criticism from famous people will affect bitcoin on: October 29, 2017, 06:12:15 PM
In the 1980s, there used to be anti-drug PSAs by a whole bunch of celebrities.   Look how well that worked for drug abuse.  Point being, celebrities don't have the influence they think they do, at least not with people who have brains and use them. 

And I would suggest that the market is speaking for itself here, and it's contrary to these famous naysayers.   J Dimon, W. Buffett,and the rest of them are entitled to their opinions, but their words aren't going to affect the market much.  So don't worry about the hate from the likes of them.
11055  Other / Meta / Re: Why can't we post and post? on: October 29, 2017, 05:22:42 PM
Hi guys, I am new here and I am constantly online here on the forum to read, comment and share insights of what I know. Apparently, as i've ventured in the Market (service) section, some signature managers would not or would disregard members who are post spamming; those who post 14 times or more within a week. Why would it be spamming when we try our best to reply with the best of our knowledge?

I don't think there's many if any managers who will ban people for merely posting more than 14 posts a week and many users do many more than that. In fact, many campaigns usually require a minimum amount of posts or pay for a maximum of 50 posts a week etc but campaign managers should be looking at quality not quantity. If your posts are substantial and not just churned out to hit your 14 activity quota every fortnight you should be fine but no manager should be accepting poor quality posters onto their campaign if they're doing their job properly. It's just a shame that there are many managers doing absolutely nothing at all about spam on their campaigns.

Dude, I'm embarrassed to admit this, but when I was in the Yobit campaign, I would frequently make 20 posts a day.  That's when I had a good desktop computer and could crank out posts pretty quickly.   And yeah, not all of them were of great quality, and I was sucked in by the money.   But I never got banned even for that crazy amount of posting. 

People who make tons of posts who put no thought into them, and write them in extremely broken English--those are the idiots that are going to get posts deleted or get banned.  I certainly don't read posts where I have to decipher what's being said.   I just skip right over those, and I know I'm not alone.   Those are garbage, and mods are cracking down on garbage posts.

You ever seen the altcoin token/airdrop section?  It's a full-blackout shit blizzard over there. It's no wonder people are getting banned.
11056  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold Is Yesterday, Here Comes Bitcoin As A Reserve Currency on: October 29, 2017, 05:13:29 PM
Gold isn't a reserve currency, it's a store of value and a hedge against inflation.   It's also an investment asset.

Bitcoin is a speculative asset, and it sucks as a currency because of the fees and confirmation times.  I don't get all these threads that compare bitcoin to gold--they're two completely different things that happen to share some of the same attributes.  And there really aren't many. 

Unless bitcoin's volatility goes down significantly, it'll never be a reserve currency, because it's not safe to keep any money in bitcoin, as opposed to something like the USD.  That's a good reserve currency because it's stable.  Bitcoin is anything but stable.
11057  Economy / Reputation / Re: Low life Lauda give me negative trust without reason on: October 29, 2017, 05:26:15 AM
Unfortunately at this point the best course of action is to leave the forum and discuss bitcoin elsewhere. Forum.bitcoin.com is probably the best alternative although it is nowhere near as active as bitcointalk.

Theymos has made it fairly clear he will not take decisive action against extortionists in the default trust network and will do nothing about the cronyism within the default trust network.
It's also clear low-life, lying, rationalizing escrow scammers won't be put back on DT no matter how autistic or sociopathic they are, or how much they try to deflect attention by beating dead horses.  Just sayin'.
11058  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we explain that the bitcoins is not a scam on: October 29, 2017, 05:11:18 AM
Your English is lousy, which leads me to believe that you're in a country that I don't give a shit about--and that includes your television programming.   Not that you mumbled enough details to give us any idea what this program said anyway.

Who cares what the great unwashed masses think?  Your country probably has a large proportion of those, so don't waste your precious time trying to communicate the greatness of bitcoin.  You'd be ineffective anyway, methinks.  Grab what crypto you can, and when these booger eaters finally catch up, you'll be balling.

11060  Other / Meta / Re: How to keep forum clean from similar and crap threads. on: October 29, 2017, 04:28:53 AM
I agree that Brand New and Newbie accounts makes lot of crap threads with stupid questions. But I think that restricting to start threads for these users isn't perfect solution. Many people with new accounts came here to make their service announcements, how they would have to make announcement if such restrictions would be implemented? Farm account until reach Jr. Member rank? Buy account? Hire someone to post announcements and spend money for it? But maybe restricting to make threads only in Bitcoin Discussion board can be good solution.
Of course it's not perfect, but why let perfect get in the way of the good.  I think it's at least worth trying.   My guess is that there'll be a marked improvement in the quality of new threads.  People shoot down suggestions just because they won't eliminate every conceivable problem, but that just hinders progress.  Not sure if theymos even reads these threads, but he really needs to kick some ass and get this place cleaned up.
