Oh?   so you just came up with that rhyme?

Grin's market cap is only at $9.8 million today and there's barely any trading volume and liquidity on centralized exchanges. Safe to assume that it has little to no attention now and that it's pretty much a 'dead' project now, unfortunately. If it had little to no usage back then, then pretty much almost no one would be using it today.

You are so original.

The problem is not only in whether or not the so-called stablecoins are backed by anything, but also in the fact that most of them are centralized to such an extent that their issuers can freeze them at any time. All those who use stablecoins for any reason are therefore always exposed to these risks - so the question arises whether it makes more sense to trust fiat currencies of central banks or so-called stablecoins, which are practically the same thing issued by private companies.

The volatility of Bitcoin can be a problem for those who invest in the short term and are also prone to panic - but if you are in Bitcoin for the long term, then this volatility can only be an advantage, not a disadvantage.

PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets

Thank you! I'm glad someone noticed after all those years

Check which year I was born in.

Today is the man's birthday, so he deserves a special status

Happy Birthday @LoyceV🎂

In recent years, it seems that a lot of people have been making low-value posts just to get paid. To address this, I've added a merit "cost" to posting: from this point forward, for every 15 characters you post, you will lose one Merit point. This should eliminate any incentive to make low-value posts.

Any halfway-decent poster should be able to earn much more merit than they lose due to the penalty. But I recognize that some good posts are occasionally overlooked. So to counterbalance the penalty, I also added a system whereby you will earn a bit of merit just by reading posts. If you want to write a lot, you'd better do some reading as well!

For both the penalty and the bonus, this applies only to your merit score, and does not affect sendable merit (sMerit).

Let me know what you think of these adjustments.

It's not totally useless because it contains your transaction history and you might want it not fall into other's hands. Also there could be situations where it's not an option - you want to destroy just a backup, not the wallet. Imagine you have two backups, one at your current location and another at a remote and safe location. Let's say you are moving from your current location to some new one where you wouldn't keep your steel backup with you because the new place is not safe enough. So you'd want to destroy the backup at your current location, while still relying on the backup at your other safe location.

Hi there to all of you. One of the most amazing things I've noticed about Bitcoin is that it doesn't have an age requirement before using it or creating a wallet. In traditional banking, however, one must be 16 or older to open an account, unless they have assistance from a guide who helped them do so. Additionally, no matter how young you are, no one can question you about how you make money because no one keeps an eye on your wallet.

Today I visited a friend who is a forex trader, according to him he trades on the USD, gold and BTC and I normally don't fancy the idea of trading because it appears a bit complex for my understanding and from my little knowledge, it seems as though trading is almost same as gambling because at the end of your analysis you're not sure of the outcome of the trade since it's basically a short term adventure and the volatile nature of most traded items depict it to be uncertain with time.

He has lost almost $5000 dollar in course of his trade and he is still positive that he is going to recover all is lost money back in his next trade. I don't really know how trading works that much cause what I have learnt and I have been used to is to Buy a certain asset like the BTC or any valuable asset that will appreciate with time and HODL it. I know that this strategy isn't for someone of his kind that's basically looking for any immediate means of doubling his income and so long term investment won't necessarily seem a good idea for him.

My question is, isn't trading almost like gambling considering it uncertainty and also looking from the fact that he has lost a fortune out of trading within a short space of time?

Is it possible for him to easily recover his money back or is losses like that very much a part of the trading experience?

People actually don't know how important it is to wait for the right set-up, some traders think that the more you trade the more money you make which is very much unlikely, trading doesn't work like that, you might make a lot of money from 5 to 7 trades, and use just only one trade to lose everything including your initial magin.

But waiting for the right set-up gives you an edge in the market, when you trade only when you sees an opportunity, you will mostly comes out profitable, as long as you knows the craft a little, but probing the market every now and then will only make you lose money, because trading is more of patience and knowledge.

demo trading does not bring such emotions

Yes, that's the perks of an open source software — particularly a forum software. I don't know if theymos did make a documentation of everything he made like what i mentioned (trust, merit, flag, etc.) for open source community to be forked, used and improved.

And yes, those are possible, but with a limited developer (theymos and PowerGlove) and demands from the community i don't think it will be developed too soon.
