Bitcoin Judas really is a more fitting title after all the stuff he pulled with Bitcoin Cash, but I still don't think he deserved the name Bitcoin Jesus.
You can't say that he was the only one who did a lot for Bitcoin in the beginning, there were many more people that did the same, if not more.

Payment received and confirmed! Thank you!

It would be really hard for you, as a new member, to get started with signature campaigns. You should expect to need at least a year or more, to get your account on a level that would earn you a decent amount.

I would focus on joining other campaigns that allow you to use different forms of social media and in the meantime you can always still post here.

Yeah it's pretty disturbing that FUD like this keeps getting published or repeated on social media.
It still is a pretty shitty situation though, even if it isn't a ban on crypto. Now that the central bank has banned purchasing of crypto, a lot of Indians will need to find different ways of sending money to exchanges.

Hope this doesn't spread to other countries.

I really do hope that other European countries will follow suit eventually and create an open environment for crypto related industry.
Also, not on this list but I've read that Belarus is also quite friendly towards cryptocurrency.

I am pretty sceptical however that the EU will pass regulations any time soon.

I don't think it's ever a good idea to suggest to friends and family to start investing in crypto, or just give out investment advice in general.
This will just save you so much trouble in the future, as you cannot be held responsible for their actions.

I don't even answer questions like: 'Do you think the price of Bitcoin is going to go up'.

Running a casino with a license isn't always a guarantee that the casino isn't going to scam people.
There are also enough examples of Bitcoin casino's that are operating without a license without scamming people.

Stuff like this should really be reviewed by an actual lawyer.

Well they're not really lying when they say that. It's perfectly possible for a single person to win big at a casino, it's not even a rare occurrence.
Now, altogether the casino makes a profit, so investors should be guaranteed a profit as well.

Gambling websites also do not outright state that you are guaranteed to win as a player. 

From the governments perspective it actually is a pretty good idea to create their own crypto, even if it's centralized.
I'm just thinking that there are tons of possible applications that would reduce the costs in certain areas.

I'm wondering how Petro will perform in the future, not that I'm a fan of this currency.

Thanks for the quick replies. Good that it's a non-issue then and that it isn't something that mods have to worry about too much.

As you all know, you can only join one signature campaign at a time. I was wondering what's preventing people from creating campaigns that incentivise forum members to display an additional footer in their posts at the bottom?

You can probably already see that this could potentially become pretty messed up. Once someone catches on to the idea that you could basically pay someone to manually add an additional footer to every post, we could be seeing signature ads getting stacked up. Of course, this is a purely hypothetical scenario, but I'm actually surprised that this hasn't been attempted yet.

I would argue that there is still certain value in an additional footer advertisement, obviously with lower rates than a dedicated spot in the signature. Is it currently not a thing because existing campaigns have a rule to prevent someone running multiple campaigns or is it just something no-one has thought about?

The title 'Opening Pandora's Box' was chosen because I think that, once we start allowing campaigns like that, it would probably never end. You'd have 5 tiers of ads under every post and the forum would go to ****. It wasn't my intent to give anyone ideas I was just wondering why anyone hadn't thought of this before. You can give me reasons why!

Yeah I personally believe that this idea will definitely gain more traction in the future and that crypto is the perfect way to make it happen.
One main argument against Universal Basic Income is that it would be way too expensive to implement, through these projects society does not have to burden the costs for this through taxes.

The amounts you receive with Manna for example are pretty low atm, at least for people who live in first world countries, but I hope it will scale in the future. It might be worth it for people in poorer countries, for them every extra dollar they can receive per day/week counts.

I think that most of these projects have other uses than just being a basic income. Most of these projects are run by philanthropists, so they have some form of investment to pay developers, I would assume.

Only 2 of all these projects are actually listed on Coinmarketcap, so it's kinda difficult to say how most of these initiatives will get valued in the future.

I've added Purpose/Dubi to the list and also added a link to the whitepaper/equivalent.
Coinmarketcap page was added where applicable.


Yeah I really believe that UBI is something that the world is going to need very soon, but I agree that it's quite a heated topic with lots of opponents.
Manna is also my most favourite project, since they are the furthest along IMO. Most of these other projects don't even have a coin listed on exchanges.

I don't know how I'd feel about that, since it's pretty close to spamming in most cases.
You basically leave spam comments under other people's content in the hopes that you get a few clicks in return.

Practically, you'd have to spend day and night contacting influencers to promote your ICO, hoping that it will go viral.
All without any budget to convince them to do so.

I guess it's possible, but it's going to be difficult going up against projects that have a marketing budget.

I just want to give another counter-argument to that.

You don't need to level up to make use of the forum's basic features. Not everybody is looking to get into a signature campaign, there are plenty of other opportunities on the forum.
It's not that difficult to get to member status and once you have that, you can already join a low-tier campaign.

That Ethereum jackpot you've won is pretty nice, too bad the prices are still pretty low compared to last year.

I haven't won any large jackpots in the last 1 - 2 years, but around 3 years ago I did win a rather large progressive jackpot on a roulette game.
In total it was a little bit over 10 BTC, if I remember correctly. I don't see taht happening any time soon again

3 million dollars seems like a lot to just list a token, but I guess the really big exchanges can definitely ask for such high fees.
Luckily there are still enough exchanges that don't even ask for payment to get your coin listed, most of them are probably DEXs though.

Found this article:

It's sad if this story is really true, but it's also a bit her own fault of trusting someone with her Bitcoins, even if that person is her own sister.
She also should have made a written contract and have her sister sign it that she gave that 'loan' of 300 Bitcoins.

I'm sorry but, it's basically her own fault that this situation has happened. Just common sense really.
Don't give people money unless you are prepared to never see it again.

Great that Stellar will get added, I think it would be a really great addition to Crypto-Games. The more coins, the better I would say!
Couldn't care less about BCH, but I guess it's not a bad thing for the people that want it... Might still be a good idea to invest in that bankroll
