What are the factors that we need to consider in joining this kind of business campaign?
A lot of things actually. If you want to join signature campaigns then you ought to make the quality of your posts good/informative, has good grammar or in short, "good content" so that you have a high chance of being merited and ranking up to the next rank. Avoid spamming useless replies/topics like this one because this is the main problem this forum is solving. Like any other newbies should do, DYOR!
202  Economy / Speculation / Re: Seeing Green on: April 14, 2018, 07:44:24 AM
Guys i think our wish is now officially granted seeing all green like this makes me so happy, Glad that i invest some of my savings into Bitcoin, i'm excited to see the price Up to 10k+ by the end of the month.
It is not green enough to be satisfied but it is a start. It will probably continue because the Q1 is finished and as expected, the price recovery in the market is happening. If you can, continue investing your savings in bitcoin and hold it as long as you can until bitcoin reached another ATH. You'll be happier when that happens because you're one of the lucky guys that got the chance to buy bitcoin at a more affordable price.
203  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you agree? on: April 14, 2018, 06:58:07 AM
Markets recovering earlier than what you stated but I guess we should still expect a more positive outcome when the "Tax Day" in the United States you mentioned is over. In any case, people should still continue to buy bitcoin even though the price recovered from the $6000 range, it is still affordable right now until "ber" months where it is expected that bitcoin's price is always at its best.

Whoa! I've answered it correctly I guess? Didn't expect that I will tho. Grin, but hey! TBH I just recently bumped into his thread yesterday and I don't really know that there is this kind of service. I really learned a lot and I added this thread to my watchlist. Hope that this thread continues to function even if pugman and bill gator run out of sMerits to give because as I went to the whole thread, it seems there are a few members with many sMerits that would like to chip in if ever you guys are running out of it.

Anyways, I gave back the merit I received in hope that it could also help others to be awarded. If I may ask, I understand that after being merited for answering the question, I should not participate in the next question but I can participate in the question after that right? Even so, can I still answer your next question even if I am not merited for it? I just want to know if what I learned/understand about it is correct or not, you can just quote my answer if it correct or wrong then.
205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can ethereum be beat Bitcoin on: April 13, 2018, 04:27:43 PM
Fat chance! As I see how Ethereum can compete with bitcoin in terms of usability and scalability, it has good chance to go toe to toe with bitcoin in the future but seeing it's price for as long as I have been here in the forum, I can say that Ethereum's price is dependent on Bitcoin's along with any other cryptocurrencies in the market. So even though bitcoin is more volatile than Eth, it will still be a far-fetched for it to beat bitcoin.

Distributed ledgers is a type of database where you can share access of the data to all parties included in the network and each one can have a shared control over the maintenance of the set of shared facts. Decentralization of databases gives you the authority to these databases enabling you to make changes to data it holds but with the consensus of all parties involved. Therefore creating a valid data and making a trusted information.
207  Economy / Speculation / Re: 60 minutes and Bitcoin value jumped to $7,800 on: April 13, 2018, 10:52:47 AM

After staying at $6,800 for quite a time, Bitcoin price takes off more than 1,000 USD breaking the resistance line. Still, I don't think this would last and BTC price will eventually sink to even lower than its previous price of $6,800. What about you? Tell me what is on your mind now? Will it sink or will it rise?  Huh
In any case, it seems that whatever price bitcoin reached, you will still be negative about it and would not believe that it will reached a new ATH anytime soon. You can't expect that the price will continuously rise throughout the year because we all know how volatile it is. Just look at the past price trend of bitcoin in the past years in the market and you will be convinced after seeing it that this time of the year is where bitcoin's price is at a struggle point.

Points taken.  Roll Eyes Hope there would be a lot of newbies that are frustrated and already lose hope that they will reach higher ranks in the forum that will read this and be more inspired and motivated like me to make posts with good contents. After all, the main goal of this forum is to share knowledge with everyone but this is being overlapped by the fact that most members here only wants to earn money for themselves that's why they are creating countless accounts just to spam the forum with useless topics for the sake on earning.
209  Economy / Economics / Re: Only a mature and regulated crypto market will attract big investors. on: April 12, 2018, 05:19:10 PM
https://cointelegraph.com/news/2018-mature-crypto-market-will-draw-more-investment-see-less-volatility-analyst-says

Obviously as an investor you understand there are risks but out of all the exchanges out there, i can think of 2-3 that I would personally trust with my money and in my case we are only talking about thousands, imagine a big player with millions using etherdelta or some other retarded exchange, no way that will ever happen. Even big exchanges like bittrex, not long ago, they fucked up and made everyone wait months and months to get your account enabled or verified. Why would any big player invest in crypto when the risk is so huge, there is literally zero safety, any exchange can run away with your money and you can barely do anything.

Why would we want big investors? Like really... More whales coming in? How's that a positive thing?
We're now talking about how cryptocurrencies would only be useful for speculative purposes as opposed to monetary usage, which is what Cryptocurrencies were invented for, after all.

Of course, a mature and regulated Crypto-market, especially with less volatility, would have a very positive influence on mass-adoption, since people wouldn't be scared to lose 50% of their money overnight all of a sudden... But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about the speculative results.

And the speculative results would be negative. If you want low volatility, just go to the stock market. Cryptocurrencies are a more risky, more rewarding and more exciting alternative to the regular stock market. From a trader's point of view, we shouldn't want to change that, should we?

It wasn't whales that pushed the price to 20k, it was dumb people coming to bitcoin and buying at whatever price because of FOMO. Big investors know how to mange their stocks, they won't enter retarded positions and they won't sell to crash the market on purpose, I'd rather have serious investors than kids and people wanting to get rich quick, they are the ones that also pushed the price down, panicking at every dip.
It was also those same dumb people who pushed bitcoin's price down the gutter when they realized they already made a fortune from their initial investments. Now, they are blaming whales for the manipulation of market's price, though they have a factor in some way or another, but what they don't realize is that they also contributed a huge percentage in the downfall in the market.
210  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you do during blood waves? on: April 11, 2018, 06:55:38 PM
First thing you have to know is that before I got into Bitcoin I already know that there were lots of risks involved, and I wouldn’t have joined if I wasn’t ready to take the risks that are involved. So this is already something I do see a lot of times and when it happens I do nothing except keeping cool and watching how things are moving.

I’m always ready to have patience no matter how long it takes, and when the price goes back up to a high price I will just withdraw with a lot of profits. I don’t sell with loss.

If you have been in this market for too long, you don't need to panic specially in a bloodbath because its just part of the nature specially cryptos. Of course, risk is always involved, that's why you have to think logically. The problem with most newbies is that they can't control their emotions, they always look to get out of the ecosystem and sell their coins because they are afraid and worried that the investment they have put in will go to nothing. Its gonna be a expensive lessons to learn for them but I do hope that they will not make the same mistakes of always pushing the sell button the minutes there is a crash. Used your common sense I think we all gonna be fine.
FUDs also add pressure, stress, and worries to newbies in the crypto world. If they see their investment turning red in the market, they will find information on what is the cause of that downfall then they will encounter aggressive rumors about it from the community who at the same time is also part of the people who supported it in the first place.

Well, everyone's gonna start on something so it's okay for newbies to make this typical mistakes and they should learn it in a hard way.
211  Economy / Speculation / Re: John eat-a-dick | Will he or won’t he? | ? Bitcoin price December 31 2020 on: April 11, 2018, 04:39:17 PM
Before he went down as a famewhore seeking for someone to extort money from, I always believed whatever that guy has been saying. But now, seeing that he has been using his short-lived fame to get money from starting ICOs and services, I wouldn't trust him one bit. Obviously he will be trying to work his way out of whatever the hell he said when he was hyping bitcoin to reach $1M in 2020. He's nothing but a scammer and a complete asshole right now. He might not eat his own dick on live TV, but the trust he garnered had already been lost during the process.

Agreed. He seems to just be abusing his fame and celebrity status for money now.

I have also read an article saying that he charges $105k for promo tweets. Basically a paid to promote type of guy.

And these outrageous predictions that make eye catching headlines just make his publicity even more well known, and newbies think that he is a real crypto expert. The truth is that he is most likely wrong, even in the most bullish scenario I wouldn't see bitcoin going to $1 million by 2020. The least it'll take is at least a decade, in my opinion, and that'll depend on if hyperinflation strikes or not.

I used to think that he was pro-bitcoin, but now I think he's just trying to make a quick buck out of this bitcoin bull market. His predictions are not helping bitcoin grow in any way, in fact it's just going to reinforce the idea that bitcoin is some sort of money making machine.
It seems to me that if he's promoting a certain ICO, that project will get a lot of support from the community because I joined one ICO that he is supporting and when the pre-sale, they reached their hard cap, I used to think that his support is a big factor in the success of the pre-sale tho but  before the ICO's main sale started, they announced that John will no longer support that project and they decided to take different ways. I don't really know what is the real score there but I hope it is not something like this.
212  Other / Meta / Re: Who is able and willing to moderate the Politics & Society section? on: April 11, 2018, 08:17:07 AM

By adding report rewards, you're only acting upon the latter. Plus, you'll probably see a lot of spam reports – if users are scrambling to get merit now through strange ways, then surely they won't care about doing bad reports as long as they can get some good reports through (which result in merit)?

It's maybe good in one way but just imagine all the shitposters hungry for merit what they can do if such change is accepted? Creating shit-threads only to report them accumulating merit. There are many ways to abuse system like this and you are not the first to suggest it. It has been discussed before, just search the forum Smiley
Well, if you guys put it that way made me realize all the worst possible outcomes that can go along with it if report rewards will be implemented. I apologize for that suggestion, I did not put too much about it earlier. Grin Thinking about it now, it is good as it is now because members who report useless posts on their own volition is much better because posts that are being reported with that initiative are ones that should be really deleted in the forum.
213  Other / Meta / Re: Who is able and willing to moderate the Politics & Society section? on: April 11, 2018, 07:19:48 AM


It surprises me that only 15 people have reported more than one post in 3 months. That doesn't show much community involvement (although I don't know the numbers for other boards).

Most people probably don't want to waste their time with it. It takes time to report things and there's no real benefit for people other than helping the community out.

What if mods reward members a merit for an accurate report of spam/useless posts topic? This way more users will have more initiative to report those kinds of threads/posts whenever they see one. This will also help the forum as a whole if there are a lot of members who will do so, but I guess it would add a huge workload since the moderators will get more report than it is now. This is just my opinion tho.

215  Other / Meta / Re: Look for quality posters not shitposters and merit abusers.. on: April 09, 2018, 06:33:59 AM
It is just so annoying to read different titles of threads but they have the same topic actually.

Oh, the irony.

Roll Eyes
Oh man, the humor in you! made my day Grin

Actually, encountering a spammy, shitty post is much easier than encountering a well thought and merit worthy post because most of them are being buried by useless posts. The good ones can mostly be found in the latter pages of the thread and we all know that most members don't bother to go through the next pages.

There is a service for those members who think that their posts are worthy of a merit and they can try their luck and apply for a post review there.
216  Economy / Economics / Re: do you really like crypto coin? on: April 09, 2018, 06:08:56 AM
i like it a lot because this crypto i change how to make study hard.. like when im schooling before, and now same crypto before you move forward in all coin make sure study first. in crypto i make profitable income he even not much. also all ico token its like a lot also they also make your profit if you joined thier project.
Well, you better keep studying hard especially in the English language.

i guess yes, even though i am not having experience it yet, but i think cryptos are good and have more benefits, i mean we can see people here actually take campaign and working so they will get paid with digital money show us that people are attracted to find and use cryptos, and of course another reason is money is always money, and you just can't hate money,no one can i guess

It's not only the fact that you can consider earning cryptocurrency as another source of your income but the feeling that you have when you earn different coins that you can use in their use-case to your own comfort and make your transactions much easier and hassle-free is great. Most of the members in the forum are only here for the sake of earning money, they don't care about gaining the knowledge in this forum about crypto and all.
217  Other / Meta / Re: How Do You Feel About This New System?? on: April 09, 2018, 05:58:02 AM
I'm not happy about the merit system because you can't rank even though you tried your best creating quality post. I have no choice but to follow this system as this system will improve this forum and the users would try their best create a better future. You may not see the result of this merit system but it actuakly help us and this forum it also the way of preventing bots account to rank up by just using a program to automatically ahit post. We all know that there bots in bitcointalk forum.
Maybe your best is not good enough. I mean, I'm frustrated with myself too because I feel like I'm putting a lot of effort in my posts but it seems that it is not taking me anywhere. So what I did is, I evaluated my posts and came to the conclusion that they are not good enough if I were to put my shoes on other readers. But that is just me being unhappy with my posts quality and overall, I'm glad the merit system was implemented. I'm seeing less and less of spammy posts in the forum.
218  Other / Meta / Re: How Do You Feel About This New System?? on: April 08, 2018, 06:10:23 AM
I'm not happy nor sad about the merit system, and I know it's not about the issue of shitposting, because I still it, especially on altcoins announcement section.

I know my suggestions are not needed, but I hope the authorities could reach them:
2. Remove merit system on brand new to full member or senior member ranks, I believe these names are associated with how long they've been active.
Then what's the sense of implementing the merit system if you want it to be removed from those ranks? It is basically intended for shitposters/spammers/low ranking members that are creating useless content in the forum so that they will have a hard time ranking up and will be obliged to make an effort and though to their posts.

3. Remove activity, why bother showing it if it's all about merit?
LOL. if the activity would be removed then a new account can either rank up to Member or Full Member in just a day or two.

I believe it's also about bounty abusers, I would like to suggest to do a KYM (know your member) on all of the members of this forum. This may easily stop bounty abusers and SCAM ICOs too!
This would be very hard to implement in the altcoin campaigns as hundreds of participants are joining every one of them. The best thing to do is implement a merit-based application where participants will not be accepted unless they have the specific merit required to participate.

What's more important when starting a business, Big Idea or Big Capital?
Big capital should come first before big idea. You will just be frustrated if you have come up with such a good idea but in the end, you can't do it because of the lack of funds to do so. Having a small capital will only limit your idea but on the contrary, if you have a big capital, your imagination is your limit. You can so all sorts of things that you think will benefit you without worrying too much.
220  Economy / Economics / Re: Possible effect of potential billionaire investor? on: April 07, 2018, 06:39:37 PM
Most of you have probably heard about George Soros a billionaire who is reportedly taking an interest in cryptocurrency trading. Just before this event, he's been negative on bitcoin, calling it a bubble and etc, but with his sudden interest now in trading with his $26 billion assets, I guess we could probably say that he saw the potential of cryptocurrencies.

How do you think will this affect the market and all the user of cryptos? Can we expect a price spike in the market then after a while, a sudden downtrend movement again?

Why the sudden U-turn though? Him and Warren Buffet has been attacking bitcoin specially during the height last December. Of course a billion thrown in the market will really change the complexion of the game. The price will start to pick up and soon we will get to 5 digits again. I really don't know if he really is going to invest on crypto, but if this is true then its the needed boost that we all have been waiting for.
That's what I've been saying. A sudden turn of an event coming from him, a person who's always been on the negative side of bitcoin especially when bitcoin reached its peaked last December. Imagine George investing $1 billion of his wealth to crypto at $7000, we all know that it's price will surely spike. So let's say that it will increase at $10,000/bitcoin after he invested, even if he doesn't wait for bitcoin's price to increase even more and decided to sell at that price, he would end up with $1,428,571,428, that's almost a 50% from his initial investment.
