I don't think that's the case with the every hour thing. Except you meant it as on rotational basis for different members. From my experience when I started, my activity count changed for every single post made until it got to 28 posts and 28 activities and then it stuck there. It remained at 28 until two weeks later to update. It has remained that way till date. My activities don't change until every two weeks. It's usually on a Wednesday. I don't know if it's same for everyone.

But of course, Shib isn't a mere meme token. It's way beyond that, by my assessment of it. I believe there must be something the numerous exchanges see in it to warrant them rushing to list it that ordinary observers may not see. At a point Binance offered staking on it with other coins. I ain't sure that feature is still there any more as I didn't get to find it again (I just checked it now). Shiba Inu isn't a bad investment for me. However, like every other crypto investment, the caveat emptor of investing only what one won't miss should still apply.

I don't know why you would still refer to yourself as a newbie, despite being registered here in May 2019. That's almost four years, isn't it? You got in here when the merit issue was a hot take and I can't find any reason you didn't have this issue sorted out. Either by deliberate omission or not, I want to hope you didn't have anything that will later expose your account as having done any wrong in the past. Going forward, I guess you should lock this thread to avoid spamming. Your question has been answered. Just read up on all the links supplied you.

May be, it's not that funny. Life happens. We can go with the flow that OP is the original owner of that account but only went on a hiatus here so as to concentrate on other stuff. Merit system then happened in their absence and took them by storm. Again, that someone has been here longer than you're doesn't mean they know much about the forum than you're. I've come across veteran members in rank who post like rookies. BTW, I know OP has got the response to their question. So, it's pointless adding any more suggestions to them.

Your narration is something most of users who got in here before the 2017 Bitcoin boom would've encountered by now. It's not a bad idea to persuade anyone to invest in Bitcoin or any alt at all. However, it's very imperative you let them know what they're getting into before hand. People like the good side of things and not the bad side. Bitcoin has its loss angle as well as its profit angle too. Let people in on it so they know that they can also lose all the invested cash as much they can also make profit from it.

I've someone I talked to a few years ago about Bitcoin investment. After a while dude decided to invest because he was passing through financial meltdown. At the time he did and sent me the cash for it, I wanted to put it in altcoin (launchpad token) but decided against it because of high risk. No one knows what can happen when it comes to alts. The whole thing can go down the drain within a day. However, if I had invested it in that launchpad token I would've doubled the capital within a few weeks of investing in it. Instead, I invested it in Bitcoin, knowing that whatever happens I can still get out the capital. I'm still hodling the fund and if the dude wants his capital while the market is dipping from when I invested it, all I've to do is pay him off his invested capital and keep the Bitcoin, then wait for bull season to set in. If the person in your story had done that, the incident wouldn't have landed him in police net.

I find this part of your comment contradictory. Perhaps you didn't get in the right grammatic usage. You called for stablecoins to be exchanged for Bitcoin but on the other hand you're saying "Bitcoin price is likely to move lower." I don't know why that ambivalence is.

However don't think now is a last chance to get in. I know you're saying it in the light that now affords us a better lower entry point but we can't be sure it's. Price can still go down but what is certain is that price will still soar more than what it's now. Anyone interested in Bitcoin should buy whenever they can and not think much of their entry levels, especially if they're going to hodl.

I'm sure it will come as a shock to you too if you get to find out that an appreciable number of people globally don't also know how fiat works apart from it's use as a means of exchange for financial transactions. You see, the point isn't even to know how something works before we can use it. Just trust the process.

I believe for those of us here, cryptocurrency is already in our lives. I'm here because I trust in cryptos and what it can achieve. With time this is likely going to be the largest financial market globally, well above the Forex market of over $6 trillion daily cap.

You can sell on crypto wallets using DApp. Trust Wallet also has that feature and a lot of traders and hodlers have been utilizing that feature. You can sell any crypto into a stable coin and then rebuy whenever you feel like. The only nag there is the limited tokens one can have assess to because of difference in chains. With DApp you don't have to pass through the hassles of KYC which centralized exchanges demand.

There's a saying in my local parlance. I will translate it to the closest so as not to make it lose it's meaning – When a man wakes from his slumbers, that's his morning. You may have delayed getting into it but that doesn't mean it's too late for you. This is that proverbial morning for you. You can still achieve even more than those who started ahead of you if you set your mind and work towards it.

Given the age in question, I guess the kid will still be in high school. To that effect, it's not a great idea to get them hooked on trading. I think it's distraction to expose people of that age (10-15 years) to financial earnings, especially one that's online. I like to keep trading away from anyone in high school or below it because of the emotions it brings. It's okay if they're in tertiary institution, regardless of the age. Tertiary institutions are known for exposing people to the realities of life far ahead of other cadres.

Rruchi man, you get betta point there. Na so e dey be, especially for dis owa generation bribery and corruption com worse pass sef.

Three years ago or so there was an online challenge to get Dogecoin to $1. That caught the attention of many crypto lovers and fans of Doge. Most people never gave it a chance as a meme token it's but it put up a great performance and did $0.7+ as its ATH. I believe it will fire up again once Elon Musk adopts it for payment on his bird (Twitter) app. Demand will rise, price will soar and hodlers will be all smiles when that happens. Doing $1 won't be much hurdle to cross.

We tend to regret stuff like that on the hindsight, after seeing what we've missed. We feel satisfied opting out while the action is on until we look back and realize it was an opportunity that shouldn't have been missed. Now that we can take a guess at what the future portends, having learnt from history that every bull year has done better than the one before it, I want to believe you're positioning already for the next bull run that will likely happen in 2024/25? Don't miss this one for anything.

I thought I was the only one into crypto who isn't keen on having XRP. Going by the level of publicity and collaborations XRP had done in the past, it should've surpassed its price by now. Though I've to admit it had a good run first quarters of 2018 when it hit an ATH of $3+. I thought it would've continued with that show but it slumped to default setting. I guess its huge supply that runs into billion (about 100b) is a stumbling block to its price increase. It's basic economics that price tends to correspond with the forces of demand and supply. I see this play out in this industry more often than not.

To be frank, I'm still nonchalant towards that coin.

Altcoins are high risk and high reward. Those who invest in them don't stay long on them and would be satisfied to run with whatever profit they get out of it. Conservative investors don't like that. They want investments they can put their cash on and feel relaxed. The reason being that an altcoin that's in massive profit today can lose steam within that same day and all the profit made gone with the wind.

On my part, I like what gives me the excitement when it comes to investment. I also have a substantial amount in altcoin spread out than I've in Bitcoin.

OP, your perspective has been canvassed in the past and it raised divergent views with some bounty hunters surprisely defending the position of projects to pay with their own tokens. My take on this is that most of these projects coming to the industry aren't financially buoyant and as such would depend on their own tokens to pay hunters. The sad thing about this is that there are some projects that also come to the industry with the sole intention of scamming hunters. These ones have no intention of paying at all. In the true sense of it these projects don't have any token to distribute. They run bounties with the aim of trapping investors and then disappear once the bounty is over. So, they scam both hunters and investors.

For me, I believe it will be better to make it a rule that the least that should be accepted for bounty reward should be tokens already listed and traded on the market if these new projects can't pay with stable coins.

Not any more. In the past, bounties used to be the money spinner but that era seems to have gone now. Bounties are known now as cheats, both for investors and bounty hunters. It's that bad this day that people are getting advised to steer clear of them. Even here in this forum, activities of most companies that run bounties haven't been any better. Check the bounty section and you will find complaints regarding how they're managed and the inability of most of the projects to fulfil their promises of payment to hunters.

Well, to the best of my knowledge I think Bitcoin is doing fine at the moment. It may have dipped from its ATH of $68k+ to $22k+ now but it's still in a nice place of profit for those who started hodling in 2020.

Nice one for the chief. I takes a man of value to recognize and appreciate the value in others. For offering to pay you for your services shows he knows the value of education.

You did well by refusing the cash. That gesture alone has sold you beyond words and into a place of reputation among those men. You proved to them that money isn't everything. I hope the crowd that gathered there will take the teaching seriously and advance from there. If you're bringing any of them to this forum, please teach them how not to tie their wallets to one another so they don't get accused of being alts or from an account farm in the future.

I wish I had more merits to give...

Leaving it here in Meta isn't appropriate. Basically, Meta is the board for discussing stuff directly related to this forum, its rules and regulations and the way it's run. Meta is a kind of "I need to know" section of this forum. To that effect, it's obvious OP's topic shouldn't belong here. User Blackboss_ has rightly pointed them to the board.

Those who behave in such manner shouldn't be taken any seriously when they complain of financial lack. It's stupidity in itself to fret away one's meagre resources just to sound big and relevant.

So true. I once walked into a restaurant a few years ago to have lunch and a dude there ordered extra pieces of meat for his meal but didn't eat any. He ate the normal meal without picking the extra. Dude paid and left. I was really spooked (so to say) on the day. I saw it as an unnecessary childish behaviour. Till date I see such pattern and people seeking validation through it.
