Yeah, I can understand that they're having problems detecting it, but I still think it's pretty harsh to ban all crypto related ads.
That said, they can ban whatever they want on their website.


It might be easy, but I doubt it's very cost efficient to just hire more people to check ads manually.

So, what do you guys think about this? Do you think it is fair that Facebook is just going to ban anything related with cryptocurrency, also legitimate services?
I mean, I can understand that there are many scams going on in these ads and Facebook users were probably complaining, but this?

I think this is a bit of an overreaction and Facebook must also be losing a bit of income over this, since crypto is so popular with advertisers at the moment.

The description on the Google Play store seems to indicate that your app is mainly a faucet, but you don't mention it in your post.
So, is your app a faucet as well? How much can you earn with it?

I mean it looks decent, but I have enough apps on my phone as it is.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to quit their day job to become a crypto trader with 200 dollars, it's crazy and the chances of failure are just too big.
Trading is something you could easily do on the side, after your work or in the weekends.

Once you have started earning consistently, then maybe you can start thinking of making it your full time employment.

Yeah something similar has also happened to me when I tried to visit a fancy casino at the coast.
I was just wearing shorts and a t-shirt and the bouncer wouldn't let us in, felt pretty bad at the time but oh well...

Luckily there are a lot of casino's that just don't have any dress code, so it's not like you can't go to any casino in a casual outfit.

In the end, if you use 2FA on all exchanges or online wallets, you're going to be pretty safe regardless on how you store your passwords.
Normally you won't keep large sums on an online wallet or exchange either way, I hope.

If you have significant amounts or coins, I'd keep everything on a hardware wallet and just memorize the passwords.

I'm always a bit wary of a method that forces me to copy and paste those passwords every time I want to log-in.
There is malware that is specifically designed to intercept the contents of your clipboard. I do agree that you have to make some kind of trade-off between security and functionality though.

I wonder what the security risks are of just using FireFox's password manager, given that you've set a very strong master password?
You have the benefit that you never have to type in or copy/paste your password, so keyloggers or other malware can't intercept the password that way.

You'll get there if you keep making posts with as much effort in them as this one.
Your other posts seem fine too, but I would definitely recommend re-visiting the topics after you've commented. Only reply to substantial replies too.

Don't forget that you can also create threads yourself, I'll be a nice change when more people start writing topics with something a bit more substance in them.

I've also seen these articles about Chinese New Year causing the drop in Bitcoin's price, but I'm a bit skeptical about that.
How on earth would you even go about proving something like that? I doubt it's even Chinese exchanges that are solely responsible for the price drop.

Other news might have a bigger impact, rumors of countries seeking to ban or regulate Bitcoin.

Seems like the lottery is back to normal now, pretty happy for that.
Plus, you can always still add the extra 1% on special occasions like for lottery round 1000 or something like that.

Now I've got to play a few more lottery rounds with these good odds

Payment received, thanks again!

This is also something that hugely depends on the quality of the particular school and the general quality of the school system in any given country. There are huge discrepancies between schools within the US for example, while in certain European countries things seem to be more in balance.

One general improvement would be to to have mandatory classes on finance in every school worldwide, but that's pretty much impossible to implement on such a scale because of politics.


I'd say that Bitcoin is already doing a pretty good job of getting kids interested in economics. I'm always very surprised when I hear and see that there are many young people involved in the crypto community.

How old is the person you're talking about? If he's an adult, I don't really see how his family could really stop him from gambling with his own money.
It's understandable though that they're trying to prevent him make the same mistakes as his uncle, but if he's older than 21 they can't.

I'm not really sure if an addictive personality is hereditary, but I've found one source that says it is.
So he might be smart to abstain from gambling.

In the end, it's really up to him if he want to roll the dice on becoming addicted or not, seems like he would have an increased chance of that happening.

Not really sure if I'm a fan of this article in particular, seems to just rehash some generic information that everybody already knows.

Reading the whitepaper is pretty important of course, but in most cases you can just skip that because there's usually a better overview on the project's website.

It's better to look at the community and development around the coin IMO. How active is development? What new features are in development? How many independent services make use of the coin/ICO in question.
If we're looking at smart contract platforms, what are some projects that make use of it?

Market analysis can also be a good tool if you're looking at the relation of price to the number of coins in circulation, but shouldn't be used for definitive future predictions. (IMO)

The game is a bit simple, but also fun to play for a minute or so.
Would it be possible to implement some additional features to the game, some upgrades perhaps? Although I don't really know what kind of upgrades you could add to this format of game.

Also, nice job on the design of the website, looks really simple and clean.

At least it's better than what Lily Allen did, she outright refused to accept Bitcoin for a private concert, granted that Bitcoin was worth a bit less than today.
But now I'm wondering if he actually managed those Bitcoins himself or if he just had someone from his staff manage it.

Also, I'm wondering if this will have any implication on his bankruptcy, I take it he had those coins when he filed?

Trade bots can be a useful tool for people who already know how to trade.
Don't think that you'll make a profit consistently, just by using a trade bot and using its presets, you'd also need to adjust some of the parameters according to each situation.

You can go check out some of the documentation of the open source Gekko trade bot to get a better idea of how it all works.

I really think that Monero has a very bright future ahead because of its anonymity.
More people will start using it whenever governments around the world impose regulations on the use of crypto currency.

I've personally always been a fan of Litecoin too, it's always on top in terms of marketcap and its growth seems more sustainable than other coins.

Altcoins are basically alternatives to Bitcoin, usually they seek to either replace or improve upon Bitcoin.
They are also digital cryptographic currencies that may or may not resemble Bitcoin, they also make use of a blockchain, but might have different features.

If you want to check out a list of pretty much all altcoins in existence, check https://coinmarketcap.com/
You can click on each coin and visit their website to see what their goals are.

Would the merit system make it easier for campaign managers and mods to spot people who are multi-accounting and abusing signature and ICO campaigns?
I think that it won't take long before we'll see people giving out merit point to their own various Bitcointalk accounts, thus leaving a digital trail that ties the accounts together.

Will this new feature cause much additional workload for the mods? Since they now have something additional to 'monitor'.
