I wouldn't focus on trying to fit some imaginary rules of quality if I were you. It's better to understand what is not allowed like spamming or posting referral links, the quality will come in its own pace.
Remember that what one person will see as quality post the other will not and it's not your fault in most cases. If you want to express yourself, do it by all means, just try not to annoy to many people in the process.
2222  Economy / Economics / Re: Why should i invest in bitcoin or other cryptos ? on: July 09, 2021, 09:10:48 AM
by investing in bitcoin, we will get more profit from land and in a short period of time, but we must know the right time to sell, besides that by following the development of cryptocurrencies, we will be able to adapt to current developments. if we want to invest in crypto without doing a specific analysis, I recommend buying bitcoin

You're talking about Bitcoin like it's some kind of tool for obtaining fiat money. It is not!
The best thing about Bitcoin is that it's in its early phase of adoption. When it reaches a certain point you won't have to convert it to fiat. You will be able to turn it to any goods and services within seconds and with minimum fees.

I'm not sure whales really exist, I think it's just a myth...

Whales meaning big holders or whales meaning holders and manipulators?
If you think they do not exist, spend a minute and ask yourself these two questions.
Are there people who have more than 1000 bitcoins?
If you had 1000 bitcoins and knew this can influence the market and make you money, would you simply ignore it, or maybe start making more money?
2224  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why use the word CRASH instead of LOSSES on BTC? on: May 30, 2021, 10:34:52 PM
(...)
For instance, if a coin has a very good support at $5 and in the future rose to $20 and later on drops to dollar $15 gradually, it should not be called a crash.

Do you expect all of us to be traders and use this jargon when we describe our investment?
What you're proposing is a great example of euphemization.

It's like when you're talking to a child, saying the cat did not die, it just went to sleep and its soul left him and flew into the sky and it's going to wait there.
2225  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop the FUD! Enough is enough! on: May 30, 2021, 10:09:14 PM
First of all, FUD is a real thing, but it's not what some of you think. Fake news is not FUD. Lies spread by mainstream media is not FUD. FUD is rather the situation on the market where investors sell just because others sell. It's a typical market panic and it's the opposite of euphoria. I sometimes wonder why people don't criticize euphoria but they criticize fear. When you buy after an asset gained 200% in a matter of weeks, you're greedy and will face fear sooner or later. It's important how you'll deal with this fear.

Usually two typical investors in the bitcoin markets are:
-people who buy high and sell low, then complain about FUD, manipulation, whales and such
-people who never buy because the price is always too high or too low for them

Don't be one of them!
2226  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon has gone mad, somebody save him!! on: May 16, 2021, 11:44:40 PM
This is good, after the dump is confirmed, Elon will no longer have power over Bitcoin, at least not on the same magnitude. And Dogecoin is turning into Bcash 2.0, it's the same stupid big block idea resurrected after 4 years, now with a prominent billionaire behind it.

If he really sold and that's all it could do to the market it's actually pretty good news.
Many traders were pointing out that a reversal to 43k could be in play for some time now. It doesn't matter if it happened with Elon or without him, there's no reason to panic. Fundamentals are as strong as they were when it was sitting at 65k and all the technicals are showing is the end of the first bull wave. In all previous bull markets there wasn't just 1 wave.
2227  Economy / Economics / Re: Miners Hodling Rates Increases. on: March 25, 2021, 01:41:37 AM
They see it going up in price so they not only want to pay their bills but also invest a bit by holding on to their coins. This is a very smart move if you take into account the fact that people are paying premium for fresh, unused coins. This means that their investment will grow in value even if the price doesn't! You can't go wrong here.
Should we expect a dump? It's possible if they get squeezed long enough. We are still in a bull market but if they see signs of a bear market (for instance a drop below 50% of the ATH) they will try to sell, but if they're smart they'll will sell to people who want these clean coins, and these people don't trade on exchanges, so chances of a miner dump are slim.
2228  Economy / Economics / Re: Difficult to get proper financial intelligence and education on: March 23, 2021, 11:43:29 PM
You can get financial education at school but it won't be the "proper one" in our terms. It's going to be a proper one in government's terms.
I know that children are being taught at school that they should be responsible and not hold too much cash because it's better to keep money in the bank and that every responsible citizen pays taxes.
They're brainwashed from their early days.
2229  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Own only a small amount of bitcoin? Regardless, DON'T LOSE THEM. on: March 23, 2021, 11:16:16 PM
In both cases they're trying to take back time. They made some stupid decisions like buying an autolocking wallet and throwing away a drive with some money in it. Even if those coins were worth just $100, I wouldn't throw away a drive that had some value stored on it. I'd probably spend those coins to buy a new one, but not throw it away Roll Eyes What do these two cases have in common? It's simple: you can't go back, unlike those guys in back to the future.

What I understood so far:
- let's crash the price so I can buy MOAR!
- it is boring to not see $100k yet.

I have to decrypt his next tweet
Code:
Both do mining & use blocks & chains

It really feels like he went to check the price and found out he made only 100 million in March instead of a billion, like they did in February.
This investment is doing really poorly. Time to tweet about Bitcoin once again.

2233  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I have concluded that all governments together can't stop bitcoin on: March 15, 2021, 12:30:33 AM
when was the last time you saw even two governments in the world come together in the entire human history? near 200 of them will never come together ever. even during world war they only made alliances that didn't go any further than everyone thinking about their own benfits.
bitcoin in comparison is not a bad thing and many governments have already adopted it.

There were such cases, for instance at times of war. If you want peace-time examples, you can look at the THC ban. It was banned in the US first, but most European countries followed the example and also banned it in the 90s. It's possible for a few governments to cooperate, but to make the whole planet cooperate we'd need an alien invasion.
2234  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you define rich? on: March 12, 2021, 08:49:25 PM
Being able to leave work and <snip>

Nope what i've been thinking about being rich is I don't need to worry about my payment bills anymore.

Sorry guys, but it's obvious you're poor, straightforward and concentrated on what's right in front of you. This is the difference between you and the rich, they don't look at their feet. For you the goal is nearby, you just want to spend more time wit your families, not worry about your bills, but people who have money think how to have fun. They want to go to the dealership, drive a few fast cars, pick one and drive it home on the same day, without waiting. They want to go house shopping and buy a house with a view of a sea or a lake because that's what they like. It doesn't matter what these things cost. They see something they like, they buy it.
2235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where would you sell if you had bought 10 Bitcoin at $100? on: March 12, 2021, 07:51:33 PM
I can pretty much tell you what I'd do because my cheapest bitcoins costed around $500 each. I held in 2017, 2018, 2019... I'm holding now. I know your chart is just a fun representation but I did not need that new bike, a trip, I did not want my account to look good. I sold near every peak just to have some money for fun stuff. For instance, in 2017 I got myself a new computer and a surround system, in 2019 when we had that fakeout to 14k I sold some and later got a new car and a TV. In 2020, I bought a new computer again, some home appliances... That said I kept about 80% of coins I've accumulated in 2015 and 2016. I'd do the same if I had $100 coins.
2236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: March 12, 2021, 07:29:09 PM
There's no fate, it's all math!
A while ago I said the same thing in another thread where users blamed it all on fate
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5311956.msg56519314#msg56519314
Sometimes you lose because you're bad, sometimes you lose because things don't go your way. You may call it luck, you may call it fate, but it's all normal. You are not jinxed, it's not some phantom scheming against you or a high power moving the dice and switching your cards.

2237  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With a clogged network, users will start abandoning BTC for alts. Change my mind on: March 12, 2021, 07:11:30 PM
If I were to change anyone's mind about it, I'd say that I know many users of Bitcoin who were in the space in 2015, 16, 17,18 and they are still here, not even considering abandoning bitcoin.
High fees are an issue but not to the current users. It's more about new ones. Those who did not make some money holding for a few years are facing high price, high fees and expect a low possible return of investment compared to what they could expect 3 or 4 years ago. Those people are going to turn away from bitcoin, not the ones who bought 3 or 4 years ago.

These are the total merits you've earnt since the day you registered. The amount of merits you've earnt in the last 120 days can be seen from merit;u=929006.
Makes me wonder how this is even possible that they registered in 2016 and managed to get Sr.Member without checking out their earned merit page.
2239  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin millionaire lists reasons most will never be rich on: March 11, 2021, 02:50:29 PM
I agree with him. Being in the space allowed me to learn a few things over the years. One of the most important lessons for a new investor is to think outside the box and not be scared. I remember all the scary moments when I almost gave up on Bitcoin but never sold. I felt like it was a mistake to hold for so long while others traded, felt left behind as a holder, but my job and hobbies allowed me to survive and a year later Bitcoin was up again.

You have to understand that investments are like learning a new skill. You will fall, you will get some sleepless nights, but after some time you'll be satisfied and say it was all worth it.
2240  Economy / Economics / Re: You want to get rich, don’t pay taxes, don’t get married, don’t use bank, and... on: March 11, 2021, 01:45:59 PM
OP I dont want to get stabbed in the back by strangers just like the Vikings era where you can steal golds and foods after you killed them all.. governments make the world inorder by introducing laws and this includes paying taxes for this services to people but the bad thing governments manipulated and controlled all of us I dont want to elaborate what it means just think about it.     

Vikings had their own laws. If you murdered someone by stabbing in the back or whatever, you were usually kicked out of the community. You became an outsider with no protection and outsiders were free to hunt. If you killed someone's father or son and got kicked out from the settlement, you could be sure the family would come after you and hunt you down in the woods like a dog. Branding thieves and murderers was also popular in that time and branded people were free to kill with no consequences.
