The main point is helping out small members but only to those who deserves it means making quality posts and making forum a better place to have healthy and useful discussion.I am also giving out merits but not at faster pace but will try to improve as hoarding smerits with ourselves have no point and you distributing merits in local board is absolutely fine as they also need recognition from High rank members like you.

You might get response soon and good news to be appointed as new merit source along with the others.

So finally the jackpot winners are being announced by  the Rollbit team and you know it already if you are active on twitter.Here is one of the big winners:


The jackpot has rolled for a big amount and now it stands out at around $1.1 million which is great and they are disturbing huge to players.

He is among some good and creative artists using his PS and other software skills to blend up a attractive art piece but if you surfed through the competition entries you would really find how much people have become creative and effective to present that artworks.It is not easy to win and stand out from them but still he's doing it.Best wishes to him and all others but will also personally try to present something in upcoming art contest.

Ok so finally this happened for what i was eagerly waiting from few days but @Ratimov was really fast and clever to do so as last remaining he has given himself to mark that legendary merit level of 10k.I was also keeping an eye on his records from some days and last when i saw it was at 9957 merits and only 43 merits were left but see now we finally have them also.Saw this morning only and couldn't resist myself from posting it here.You are active demon @Ratimov  who post such records instantly.

Congratulations to @Loyce_V on becoming the first forum member to reach that benchmark of 10k merits and keeping the throne with him and see i told you earlier also it would be faster than @theymos so you finally managed to hit that ahead of him.

So now we already have first member to 10k club along with 9000 merits earned in total over the time merit system was introduced and being one of the most generous merit source as well and well recognised member of the forum.See you can hate me for meriting you but i will still prefer to be on that list as your next target also has to be achieved .




Once again happy to see you achieving this target and congratulations to the thick skin gang leader.

I have also seen skarais as good and effective contributor to the forum and have given good amount of merits to the users so i also support his merit source application for the Indonesian board.Personally I don't know what are the circumstances in the local board but to the extent i know from the discussion there is need for one source to help members grow on the forum.The fact is he will not help anyone directly but will give merits to those who deserves them as local boards lack in merit generation in comparison to overall forum boards.

So you are right that theymos could give him a chance and it won't harm anyone but on the contrary there could be some Indonesia local board members growing on bitcointalk.

That's good that as we grow on forum it's our responsibility to help the other deserving members also rank up which is possible with smerits.Ratimov has helped lot of members to rank up with his own threads and by simply giving out merits to some others i directly and indirectly.

Hope you will soon get response from theymos and once again i also support your application.

I am also of the same opinion that even if we are slightly interested in these sort of art contest then we  should take part in it and learning and taking part will boost your self esteem and make your skills sharp even if you are not winning.I am hoping to take part in the upcoming one of Roobet and diversify my hands on this field also.

By the way you also have some good creative skills but the fact is there are some professional like Maus0728 who wins most of them and he is skilled and professional artist from whom we can learn lot and how to bring up artwork in attractive manner.But still try your best and who knows what the team might like.

There were and still many who still follows the shit posts path despite being the fact they are legendary or high rank members.The main thing is they never tried hard to acquire some knowledge and share with others because for them this forum was only source of earning and complete signature campaign requirements.They did not care to read or share something that can help others and themselves to rank up on forum.But yes merit system implementation hinders themselves to grow on forum and many left it afterwards and some still going the same way.But that's not the way you should hook up on discussion forum.The best is to exchange knowledge and write quality posts.

Exactly we all have ability to learn but the speed could be different.Take example like some newbies on forum have reached enough merits to rank up to senior or hero rank members but lack the activity and some are going on with less pace.But the main thing is advancement which comes up with knowledge and learning so do your best and results will automatically come into your hands.Try to compete in healthy manner and grow up yourself.

There are many threads around that is it the end of btc or will it go below $40k and else and this reminds me of bitcoin obituaries once again pooping out from those dumb mouths who doesn't understand a single thing about Bitcoin and keep on repeating their nonsense stuff about it.But on the other side btc don't give a damn fuck about them at all.



You see it's just a matter of fact that after one year the same price levels hit us hard and we are busy printing sorrow messages but who are panic selling contributes to the worse situations even more.


That's some harsh reality which we all need to understand and calmly hold our coins because it has grown each time hard it has dumped.In 2017 it lost most of it's value touching its ATH around $19800 and after that it was below $5k also but has it not recovered then? What price levels we currently stand out at?

Here is chart which matters the most according to me :


See i am not too technical trader but believes in bitcoin to my possible extent and these charts don't lie which clearly indicates All time lows are also rising graphs which means it will surely reach new ATH this year.Just have faith.

Don't compare btc with your shitcoins.It has potential to recover fast.

It's probably my first post on this mining board so spare me if i share anything you already know or not correct.I am not mining sort of person and have little or say no knowledge about this mining with all that stuff like ASIC machines and those rigs.But familiar with the procedure as technical working of Bitcoin is cleared to me.

Just wanted to share with you guys that Bitmain a name all mining community is familiar with as manufacturing mining rigs and supplying them across the globe has now launched Antminer S19 Pro + HYD as the latest one to help the miners

 

It is supposed to be built over liquid cooling technology that can boost the hashpower which seems impressive to me as a normal man who is not much familiar with the mining business.


The Shipping date for the same is May-Sept 2022 and for additional information you can visit their official site : Bitmain Antminer S19 Pro

My doubt how much productivity will it enhance? and what extra benefits will it have over the past ASIC machines?

The art contest ended recently as the winners were announced by @Hhampuz just few days back but there might be another one on the table for all the participants to have big prize pot of $5k or below soon.There could be some reasons they have given a normal break and it's fine but i would say there will be another one from the roobet team whether art contest or any other type of event announcement soon.

There will no coins to be mined after that and all the supply of 21 million will be mined from the start but we all know to be precise that there will never be that much coins in circulation due to OP_RETURN command that burn the coins or due to lost of keys and other factors.But coming back to the point the Bitcoin community will be still growing and network will be secured by the miners.

At this time they are doing it for 6.25 bitcoin as rewards which will be reduced to 3.125 on next halving and so on until 2140 when all coins will be mined but it will take additional 118 years to happen.But after that miners will be willing to do it because of the transaction fees they will get from each of the transaction.That time there will be far more transactions than today and miners will be getting incentivise for the same and imagine the prices at that time so they will be willing to do it for earning few btc only.The network will never collapsed unless there is some big cause which doesn't seems possible at current time.

You might get confused but there are corrections in Bitcoin prices or instability/volatility factor due to demand fluctuations and other factors but on the contrary side all other assets are witnessing regular downfall which is permanent decrease in value against inflation.For example gold has not given any returns to the users over a decade and do you call it correction or what? There are other similar financial assets that are giving returns but in diminishing margins to the holders and at this time holding btc as inflation hedge and securing our future is best what we can do.

Those who have sold out at profits are good but the problem arises with the panic sellers who sold at loss dumping the situation even worse for temporary period only and later on the prices tend to rise.

They have a mindset that if the prices are rising it must be profitable and you would see more rush at exchange during price surge as more and more people want to invest at that time but when it's the opposite they start selling off immediately but that won't work for them.You can hold it at lowest level it will give you more profits.Calling people lucky who have bought it at $100 or even lower is easy but holding for all these years with patience is not easy at all.

People who don't know how to securely keep their coins don't deserve them especially those who are reluctant and bounded by greed to double their coins by sending them to someone renowned.Maybe i am too blunt but seriously you would send 26 btc straight away if someone says i will double it? This is the purest form of scam like why would Saylor even attempt this thing? There are so many suspicious sentiments that arises at our end but nothing happened to these victims at all.

This is not new but the only thing which is addition to this scam is the involvement of amount which is huge as $1.1M is lot of funds to be scammed.At this time it's around that much but he could have doubled it soon by holding.

These types of doublers scam has been around the corner for quite a long time and the the best is the scammers portray themselves as some renowned personality and promise to double the coin which these known one's seems to support and then have fake address and hack the social media accounts for some time.They are lucky that get victims like this one was happened in the past :


Elon Musk double doge scam

But still they will find victims because people are fool enough to trust them derived by greed but they need to have proper check beforehand.There are lot of guiding threads on how to check project is scam how to avoid them and all that but still we see same things each time.

That's why i am active on twitter for most of the time or you can say check twice in a day to follow some new updates which help me to grab the early opportunity.These big wins are shared almost daily as some lucky players are coming out regularly with these sort of wins shared by Roobet then.Have followed the account on twitter and have notification on for the same to check if something important comes up.

Congratulations to you LFC_Bitcoin and you are rising on the forum according to your name and you have said right here :


Keep up the same work and now you have earned more than 5k merits at this time of writing the post as you are 22 merits above not with the total of 6022 merits in total but evading the airdrop one's.So best wishes to you ahead.

You are one of the most active members on the forum and your merit speed is also good considering the post quality you have maintained over this time.For sure 1000 merits achievement is not too far away as only 89 merits are left for the same but legendary will be counted only if you have the required amount of activity.But spending time on forum has it's own fun and you learn different aspects here.This is happened with me and when you contribute best the merits will be incoming at faster pace than you imagined.

Yes you are right on the point that only 7 days period is allotted to payback the loan so we can say that it's short term loan given to the NFT holders(check that are eligible for this) and after that you don't have any right to that NFT and it's already in the Rollbit custody but the point is they become owner of it afterwards.

Most probably this is good thing but funding your gambling budget through this feature could be risky one like what if you lost your wagering amount and are unable to repay it? So this is not at all good but taking some emergency funds through this loan is good move but we all are wise enough to make a choice.

Sounds similar to this  :



But have diamond hands if you can...

We already have discussion about some other video platforms like the decentralised one's which have no restrictions over publishing any sort of videos without filtering any bitcoin or crypto related comments like LBRY and there are many video published over them and if we speak about YouTube alternatives then there are many also but the biggest problem is audience and earning capacities are way much on YouTube than on any other platforms.

YouTube has created its monopoly in the video publishing platform centrally owned and controlled by google of which they can took undue advantage anytime like happened with the channel as they were filtering out the btc and forum related comments about which Cyrus already posted and there was little discussion about it.They can block your channel if you violate any of the rules preety fair but still sometimes they have blocked your videos and remove comments because that is what the power of centralisation give us.The biggest advantage is they have built their names and google is widely used browsing site and most of the Android and IOS phones came with installed YouTube apps within them and people are not much familiar about other sites.Here is chart showing the depth of views on YouTube vs its alternative sites:

YouTube views V/S competetor views


I don't think many people would be familiar about some other vidoe streaming apps like twitch or stemmit and are watching only on YouTube and this is why they make so much of revenue each year.The other sites are popular but with small majority only which is major drawback of shifting to some other platforms.For example this is how much the others make from their views count :


And on the other side see this :


There is direct 43% revenue surge within this year and it is substantially rising because many youtubers prefer to stay here despite being the fact that it is centralised owned and whenever you said video word the first thing that strike in mind is YouTube.

But still we can upload videos on different platforms and increase the user base and grab the opportunities from all the sites and audience and slowly the channel will see progress as it is seeing at the moment as subs have passed 100 number and will take another moment when you will start seeing good number of views and earning opportunity also.But always having PlanB will help out lot so consider to have other sites in mind also.

The NFT holders can borrow upto $10k without contacting support and above that they have to ask the team but can be approved.But it's not necessary they all will borrow big amounts only as they have said you can borrow it upto that amount and loan will be given according to your need.The interest free loan is of 7 days only and have to repay it within that time frame otherwise they will sell it.So be careful also and take loan if you can repay it timely.

It's absolutely the base marketing strategy for all casinos and you can check out that every casino shares some big wins on regular intervals on their Twitter handle as they have 30-40k followers over there and even if 1-2% joined the casino after such wins they are in profits.So they adopt various methods to showcase these sort of wins and try to attract more players to the casino.
