Don't see it as a dilemma; even if you find out that you're being ignored. See it as you not posting enough in boards where those who are generous with merits post in. Again, know that merit giving is as much as subjective as one feels tagging posts as spam. It's all in the judgment of the person doing the appraisal. I don't think it's about your post quality because I don't see you as a shitposter. I guess it's about time you reviewed where you post and see how things change.

This is the part most noobs in this industry don't want to listen to. They think coming into cryptos is a shortcut to wealth. That once they invest in any type of coin it's enough to turn into a "Bitcoin" overnight. Most of these ones erroneously opine that those who've been in this game but haven't hit it big aren't doing the right thing. They quickly forget (perhaps they don't even know this) that there's no certainty when it comes to cryptos. Nothing is guaranteed. Luck is the ultimate card. Though one has to take that luck far by investing in a seemingly credible coin first. No investment, no luck.

You captured it well. Those who want to capitalize on the purported freebies often get themselves burnt by it. It's a bait. For me I believe there's no free meal anywhere, one has to sweat it out first before reaping the benefit. I've had to argue with those who say that since there isn't going to be any monetary commitment on their part they aren't losing out on anything even if it goes sour. My question to them is always "What about your time invested in it?" Time, they say, is money.

It's an observation I've also come to make too. Whenever Bitcoin dips, alts (most) also dips. Bitcoin activity is a precursor to alts behaviour. If anyone watches closely they should be able to decode all that. Most times I take my cue from Bitcoin to find entry points in alts I'm buying. It's the same pattern that makes alts gain momentum and push into bull rally after Bitcoin must've had its. Investors take out the profit they make during Bitcoin bull and ploy into alts to chase further profit and that gives rise to bullishness in alts. I expect that scenario to come up again when Bitcoin records a new ATH after its halving.

But of course, everyone is anonymous here if we all go by that explanation of yours. However, the type of anonymous OP talked about there is a more secretive type. If you checked very well you would've realised how user anonymous doesn't have any link to their profile. To state it, I believe that "anonymous" account isn't just an ordinary account. I suspect it's an admin account. That account even posted recently, about a year ago. So, we can't say it's a throwaway account.

Yes, I agree with you on it becoming too frequent this day and that's beginning to get scary I must say. I think the earlier things are done to rectify this the better for all like how the forum was able to find a way round the Imgur palavar almost immediately it began. Do I say I was lucky to have escaped this widespread bitter experience that littered the forum since yesterday as I was offline while it lingered yesterday.

By inference, it's clear you're referring to Binance (correct me if I'm wrong). Can't we say CZ has really tried with his exchange so far despite that's a Cex? I mean, since 2017 that Binance came on the scene and was greeted with all that skepticism and criticism but it's still weathering the storm till date. I think we should give to it its flowers.

As for those outrightly condemning investment in altcoins, they should do their research very well before making a blanket generalization. Again, we need alts in the industry to make the competition worth it. While I can advise noobs to concentrate on Bitcoin, I will tell those who've certain measurable grip of the industry to split their portfolio into Bitcoin and alts. It mustn't be all about Bitcoin. There are also viable altcoins out there.

Bangladesh is a poor country just like my country and you say $1,800 isn't much? Really?

Investing into Bitcoin at a time like this will be a great decision you will be making. Apart from the fact that the market is expectant of a bull rally soon (that's if we aren't in it already) because of Bitcoin halving next year, putting it in it serves as an anti-inflation strategy. Cash poured into Bitcoin never loses its value.

Yes, it's good to get more topics going. If limited to only Bitcoin discussion, that could be monotonous and boring. Monotony, they say, kills interest. Getting other interests apart from that on Bitcoin will surely excite and energize posts and opinions. For instance, there are members who come here without having the faintest idea of what Bitcoin is. Such members should've somewhere to start from while grappling with discussions on Bitcoin.

No one is disputing that and I believe the major reason it remains number one and top over other fora isn't because it was the first to be created but because of its post and earn opportunity. I'm yet to see another forum that's like this forum in terms of such incentives.

Nope, I wouldn't say there's any of such in my country, Nigeria. However, we do have many P2P groups on WhatsApp and Telegram.

This site being down or dragging to load up is becoming one too many recently. I sincerely hope it's not something untoward or that which could destabilize this forum, anyway.

Investors aren't traders per se. These are two different things even if they're related. Investors think of investments. Traders think of trading. The semblance investors have with trading is when they're offloading to the market yhey cryptos they invested in. Hodlers will better fit investors description than calling them traders.

To the main gist, whether one is cautious trading or not one is more likely to blow off one's trading capital if one doesn't have the basic skill set for trading. It's that simple and has nothing to do with trading frighteningly.

I've such people around me. The annoying part for me with them is that it's not even as if they've tried this stuff in practical reality before condemning it. There's this rave right now in my country with online banks springing up without any physical addresses. Many of my compatriots aren't embracing that, thinking anything online can shutdown any day without any trace. That can be true but then these online banks have been really tremendous with their quick services, better than the physical banks we've. I patronize one of the banks, though not throwing in my all in that account. I rather test something new and innovative than not try it at all and then condemn it ignorantly. This is what many do online, condemning what they barely have an idea of.

I'm sure a lot of users here will pick investing in Bitcoin over exotic watches. Take this same question to other fora peopled by those who don't think much of Bitcoin, you can guess what their answers would be.

Back to what you said here, "Most of these watches tend to appreciate in value", so it's not like the watches are even bad investment like stuff that depreciates in value. Therefore, anyone who chooses to invest in those watches is also making a wise investment decision. For me though, I'm not a watch crazy person, I will pick investment in Bitcoin over that of watches.

His story, despite turning good for the fintech company, still didn't mean he should rue how he didn't take his chances and invested the $100k he would've done. He shouldn't regret it. Yes, I know businesses of all shades are not without risk but I would rather take a calculated risk than take a blind one which contradicts my investment principle. No doubt, the way the man in that story felt about missing out on that deal will be the same feeling for those who missed out on Bitcoin when it debuted.

Those who still feel that only online businesses  and cryptocurrency investments are fraught with risk should wake up from their slumbers. Risk is an every day thing and it cuts across all strata. Whether online or offline with physical addresses, risk is there. I've seen businesses get knocked down in demolition for contravening government policies or roadmap and millions of hard earned cash go down the drain. Yet, those aren't online businesses. Those who've made up their minds to pursue online investments shouldn't allow themselves be discouraged by the ignorance of others.

As for procrastination, what's happening now may seem a child's play to those who haven't experienced halving before. They rather get on the bus now or wait and watch price movement once rally commences. It's always a joy to watch how price rallies upward during such time.

One of these two things must be responsible for anyone's entry to this forum – It's either they came here with a genuine interest and passion to learn or a passion to earn a living. Whichever of these two, the person coming here would still end up learning, otherwise they will remain stagnated. Those who head straight to bounties upon registering and indulging social media tasks will still be learning too from the different engagements they get into and their interactions on other sites.

Talking about people ceasing to learn, they say that's the day they will stop to exist or die. There's something about the human mind that makes individuals appear stagnant if they don't task their brains in learning new stuff. We all know how different tech used to be three decades ago compared to what it's today. This is the same thing that happens to the human mind that stops learning.

Well, for the sake of artificial humility we could accept you saying that everyone here is more experienced than you're but in the real sense it's not that way. You could still be more experienced and logical than some high ranked members who aren't asking this same question for fear of being thought inexperienced.

I ain't sure there's any other time that will be better than now. This is putting into consideration the fact that next year is Bitcoin halving year and the expectation is that a bull rally will be imminent. Already, we feel that surge coming on even before 2024. Buy now and stop dilly-dallying on it. However, make sure it's the amount you won't miss you're putting into such investment.

Oh, my bad! 🙆‍♀️. Spotted now. I already feel a bit dizzy from the discombobulation. Fixed now. Thanks.

Thanks. I think it's ok now.
