I apologize for the thread of low value. Anyhow, my question was addressed already so I'll be closing the thread anytime soon.


Yeah, I saw that. Those who got you into trouble are just those people who hates the imposing of merit.





LOL, is this thread merit-worthy in your opinion? Or does this contributes anything at all? You're just making a big deal out of this
It happens that her PT caught my attention, so?
An insult? That was a fact man
Oh c'mon. I don't beg for Merit. Every merit I have was given to me because they thought I deserved it.
Do you even know what's the definition of spam is?

I personally think that the government cannot stop Bitcoin. If they can then they should've stopped Bitcoin already and yet Bitcoin is still alive and kicking. They can just ban it in their jurisdiction and nothing more. Regulations may be imposed but the mere fact remains that the government cannot stop Bitcoin.

9k USD is close to our current price and we are just on the entrance of third quarter. Historical data states that the increase in Bitcoin's price happens mostly on the third and fourth quarter of every year. This would mean that there's still a good chance on reaching 9k USD. The historical data also dictates that the increase in third and fourth quarter could be x3. This, then, states the likelihood of getting close to the recent ATH of Bitcoin. However, they are just historical data. It does not mean that it will happen this year.

ICOs and the project it represents uses bounty program in order to advertise their ICO. Advertisement is a very crucial part of this so that many people will know about that project. The wider the advertisement goes, the higher the potential of success for the ICO. Would companies launch ICO is this will impact them negatively? Of course not.

This is the best one yet

Bounty hunters get haunted

Who cares? Maybe some who does not want to break any rules. Also, if you don't care, why the hell did you comment here? You're just spamming your signature here.

No backfire happened, I wear a 12-inch titanium armor

Have you really read the discussion here? This is not exposing, this is asking. Get lost imbecile spammer.

And yet yahoo accept Members in joining his Signature Campaign. This is a very good approach in handling spam in the forum however, the suggestion will stay as a suggestion if no one starts implementing this. Considering that this is yahoo's idea, I expected that he's implementing this and yet he's not. Don't get me wrong, I am not against yahoo nor have any problem with him. Actually I idolize him for he is a reputable member here and also one of the great campaign managers. But his action contradicts with his words. Edited XD

I already know that because I've read the thread about Merit the day it was posted and Theymos made himself clear about it.

Too bad for you. Merits and Rank are not important around here as they are just merely what they are.

I think it is not allowing, it's "encouraging"
I appreciate the opinion and is duly noted.


Others seeing this differently is the main reason why I asked. I, personally, see this as begging based from the context. I don't intend him/her be tagged since he/she would eventually tagged if a DT member see his/her post. Nonetheless, approval from reputable person here is what I seek and was addressed.


LOL. Should've typed faster

EDIT

As they say, people are entitled to their opinions and I respect yours.

I thought someone will use my own words against me. That personal message is not begging for Merit. I can justify that by quoting threads that states "Donations are appreciated" with BTC/ETH address included. If my personal message is considered begging then people with "Donations bla bla bla" are also begging.

EDIT

I appreciate your insight about this. However, isn't it much worse in PT than in a post? It is as if he/she is showing the text whenever he/she goes.

Begging that is prohibited as indicated on the forum rules.

I'd go to the merchant with "Bitcoin accepted here" sticker. Robbery, well for pros, always have planning before they go robbing any banks or merchants. They familiarize themselves on the establishment, where to go, where are the money, etc. So if a robber will rob a merchant that accepts Bitcoin, he has to know where the device and what device to take. This may sound absurd but having Bitcoin instead of cash is very much profitable for the robber

Nope, nope, and a big nope. Let me elaborate this for you.


If your logic here is that an individual or a company could pay its debt when they have Bitcoin (assuming that the price is sky high) then a country could pay its debt, then you are thinking way off. Country debts are ridiculously high. We are talking millions or billions of dollars. How would you propose a government to have Bitcoins, by buying? And from where are they going get the funds, from their national funds? And how long will they wait for Bitcoin to sky rocket, a year? 5, 10? There are many at stakes here. So NO.


The basics of "the rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer" still implies here. A currency could never improve an economy.


Not in a million years. Please wake up and come back to the reality please. Day by day the world is worsening. More and more people are experiencing poverty. And how could a digital currency aid poverty? Bitcoin does not give a damn about the economic status of anyone so it cannot help remove poverty.

Oh please. Are you high or something? A post with so much inaccuracy is the best post you see right now? LOL

Optimism, blinds more people than I expected.

If you use Bitcoin on trading sites, you could earn some Bitcoins in return. On the contrary, if you use Bitcoin on online shops or marketplace, you're just spending them. What would you choose, earning or spending? That was a trick question, of course the answer is both. So there's no point choosing over the two. Trade so you could earn more Bitcoin and spend the Bitcoin you earned on whatever you want to buy. That's what life is.

Higher level of security would lessen the risk of hacks. It will not give guarantee that you won't be hacked but the fact that it lessen the odds, it's worth the shot. Individual hacks/wallet hacks could be handled by securing private keys by writing it in a paper and not storing it in a PC or phone. Exchanges should increase their security by having some algorithm that could encrypt their server password. They could provide multiple levels of security so if one is penetrated, another wall is there to block. There are many ways of increasing security for software based systems and exchanges should take security in one of the top priorities.

I have been saying things like this in the past. Bitcoin is definitely not practical for face to face transaction such as buying of soaps in your statement. Some Altcoins are more suitable for this kind of application. However, all of this is just for now. Bitcoin's minimum time in mining a block is 10 minutes as per its algorithm SHA-256. When the algorithm is enhanced, we might see significant improvement to Bitcoin's transaction.

Sorry but, for the record, the rank in this forum does not justify anything. The only metric for rank, then, is the activity count (now including merit) and not knowledge. You might have seen high ranked members here with fruitful knowledge but I have seen some high ranked that are stupid and just talks about nonsense. I hope you are aware that most of the lower rank accounts here have high rank accounts. Thus, rank is not entitled to knowledge. Rank are just ranks, nothing more with a lot of less.

I have been in a bounty which in the end turned out to be a scam. I immediately removed my signature upon knowing that in order to stop advertising scam projects. I hate being used by others into something that could stain my reputation. I have no concrete procedure on how to know what project is legit and what is a scam. Even campaign managers are being fooled so if they are fooled, there's no doubt many will be fooled as well.

For those who are using someone's account just to cheat, I report them to campaign manager. I scan the spreadsheet one by one just to verify each entry. Yes, I scan the spreadsheet one by one, literally. I do not want cheaters in a bounty I am participating 

Other Bitcoins? There is but one Bitcoin and that is Bitcoin. You might be talking about altcoins.

Etherium might have a chance in beating Bitcoin since it provides much faster transactions and less transaction fee. This, though, is still a difficult thing to speculate since Bitcoin is still the dominant coin.

Bottom line:
Do not get greedy.

Scammers are outsmarting people by placing taunting baits to desperate people. Being desperate in earning or accumulating tokens with high value could blind you. You know that that wallet/private key is not yours and a moral person will never try to steal tokens in that wallet. Due to greediness, the retaliation is instant.
