Spam is like pornography.  It's hard to define exactly what it is, but you know it when you see it. 

You started this thread wondering why you got banned, right?  I realize you don't like the answers you're being given, but maybe you should just shut up and listen to those answers.  They're on the money.

It's at 37 sat right now,  and that's really not bad.  It was in the 20s for the longest time, and it's definitely not dead.  Doge has a lovey-dovey community,  kinda like furries almost except it's crypto.  Doge is one of the survivors.

YPII, that thread is obviously renting space in your head, even though you strangely think it's not worth your time to PM that dude.  I suggest just ignoring it.

I had the same problem with that idiotic "bitcoin for cupcakes" thread.  The OP posted once or twice and then disappeared--and it was obvious that's what happened.  But people kept asking over and over and over "How you goin ship cupcake oversea.  It stay fresh?"

Drove me absolutely nuts.  But I let it go eventually.

If you're in a sig campaign, the standards are a lot higher.  That's important to know.

If your English isn't good, no offense, and people can't understand what you're saying, you'll likely be labeled a shitposter.

One liners, +1, emoticons, echoing posts, and all that stuff counts against you.  Your posts have to be on-topic and constructive.  The constructive part is open to interpretation and the whims of the mods here.  A lot of posts get deleted, and that'll tell you how badly you're doing.  If you're really bad you'll just get banned.

What's your goal in joining this forum?

Hell yes, IF people like the average Joe on the street can figure out how to use it.  Or at least the average gambler.  I know some people who played online poker compulsively back before bitcoin came out, and I bet if those folks knew about bitcoin they'd be all over it.  The problem is, they're in the US and I think most of the gambling sites are blocked.  I tried to use Justdice or a similar one before, and it wouldn't let me.  Sucks ass.  But bitcoin makes gambling ridiculously easy.

Oh but how much fun you would have squeezing the shorts!  Remember back in 1980 when the Hunt brothers tried cornering the silver market?  If you own it all, short sellers still have to buy it back to cover their short positions and you can charge them whatever you want...except it didn't exactly work out that way for the brothers.  The government stepped in and changed the laws, or the exchange did--I can't remember.  So much for free markets.

But yeah, there's no real practical purpose for owning ALL the bitcoin.

OP, did you gamble it all away or what?  I would think if you only gave yourself two choices,  you'd probably end up gambling.

I would do neither.   This thread is a couple of months old,  and if you just held on you would have made a nice return.   All the investment schemes here are either poorly run or are straight up scams.  I don't go anywhere near those.

Well, one great way to tell is to see how many of your posts get deleted.   What you described doesn't sound too bad,  but as mentioned it's not necessarily about length or how long in between posts.  True shitposters tend to get booted off their campaigns and off the forum pretty efficiently.   I have signatures blocked so I can't even see which one you're wearing.

Yep, not a surprise.   Banks do this too.  I got asked by my bank what all the Circle transactions on my account were and if any other people were involved (!).  Coinbase closed my account last year,  and I never deposited any bitcoin on gambling sites.  No loss, really.

Poll's closed, but I'd say USD for maybe another 15 years or so.  I don't think bitcoin is going to be replacing anything anytime soon.  If anything, another fiat currency will if the USD hyperinflates.  Or gold & silver or something like that.  Bitcoin has a loooong way to go before it gets widely adopted.

I've been watching this somewhat--and no, I haven't bought any.  I think you'd be out of your F-ing mind to do so, but ethereum folks seem to have balls of steel when it comes to this.

Not sure how many hardcore eth buyers are going to show up to brag about that, but there has to be a pretty significant number if the price hasn't been flushed down the toilet (and it hasn't, yet).

Cheers.  Don't know if I'd consider myself an early adopter--I guess that depends on how widely adopted bitcoin ends up becoming.  I bought my first coins in 2015.  Glad to be part of the community, although it tends to be a bunch of menstruating bitches at times.  And I'm not even talking just about people on this forum.

Man, I don't know how investing in gambling sites works, if it's profit sharing or whatever.  But if the casino is legitimate and has games that are provably fair, then yes you shouldn't be able to lose in the long run.  The house will eventually always win and you should reap the benefits of that.  Having said that, it seems like a lot of bitcoin businesses are just complete scams, like cloud mining sites.  I would be extremely careful if you're thinking of investing large amounts of money in any of these places.  They might just take your bitcoin and run.

That sucks, because as atomicat said, your account just isn't worth that much and it's extremely unlikely anyone is going to take a chance on you with that amount.  Better ask friends or family.

Edit:  Ask the friend you were going to buy the account for.  Sounds like he's got money to burn.

I swear 90% of people on this forum don't know the definition of the word "invest".

OP, if you only require 10%, just loan it out and get collateral.  It's the easiest way and the safest too.  Every other way here is just retardified.

I don't prefer bitcoin over fiat by any means.  Fiat is easier to use, more places take it, and there are more protections.  I hate it as a currency.   As an investment,  that's where it has value to me.  It has many uses in gambling and dark markets, but I'm not into either one of those things.

You were just going to buy an account last month for 0.06 btc.  This looks like you might be trying to scam if you did end up buying an account.  Or you have problems choosing between buying accounts and paying medical bills.  Also, you're borrowing, not loaning.

I see people at gas stations all the time scratching off their lottery tickets--are they doing it for profit or fun?  I would say it's always both.  There is no fun unless you have the potential to profit, even knowing the odds are against you.   Doing it solely for profit is just plain stupid,  precisely because the odds are against you.  And the folks who gamble on this forum are some of the most degenerate, addicted, problematic gamblers I've ever seen outside of Atlantic City.   

Stay off the gambling section of bitcointalk, that's for starters.  I probably would stay away from bitcoin in general and go to a gamblers anonymous meeting or something.   I have doubts about the extent of your losses though.  $50,000 is a lot of money and people have been known to come on here and encounter problems telling the truth.   Not calling you a liar, but.

I just looked at the price on Yobit and it's 0.018.  That's more than it was when I checked it last week, so what's this thread supposed to be about?   Eth most definitely has a strong community.   I'm not sure what the coin is good for, but it's got good support.
