This is a very bad step. If they activate the refund mechanism, then there will be no difference between Bitpay and Paypal. People are going to misuse it, to cheat honest traders.

There is no point in going for appeals. Ross Ulbricht is never going to walk free, as the Wall Street criminals want to make an example out of him. He challenged the existing monetary and financial systems, and he is going to suffer for that. And regarding those fake attempted murder charges.... only retarded people are going to believe in all that BS.

Usage of drones must be regulated. Sometimes they cause too much nuisance, by encroaching upon the privacy. Also, there have been instances where drones almost caused civil aviation disasters, by crashing with the passenger aircraft.

A number of business powers want to separate Russia from the Europe. For example, if the Russian gas exports to Europe decline, then it is going to be beneficial for Qatar. Similarly, if the Russian oil exports to Europe decline, then it is going to benefit Saudi Arabia.

The Goethe Institute is a harmless organization. If the Greeks are serious about this, then they should seize the wealth of German banks and bond-holders. The German banking mafia needs to be taken down.

Illegal immigrants are just crossing the border whenever they like, while legal immigrants to the United States are having to wait as much as five years or more in queue to complete the legalities. Extremely unfair!

Iran is in a difficult position. If they give up their nuclear weapons program, then there is a chance that the NATO and the Saudis will nuke them to rubble. If they carry on with their program, then the citizens will suffer because of the sanctions.

I'll go with Trump. Hillary as the POTUS is detrimental to the world peace. She is a psychopath, and I don't trust her with the most powerful political position in the earth right now.

The Brits are no longer a major military power. They could ask for the American support, but I really doubt whether the Americans would risk war with China at this point of time.

Absolutely yes. Right now, POTUS is the most powerful position on the earth. Even if Hillary is only 3 months away from death, she would want to become the POTUS for that much time. She is too power-hungry.

I really doubt whether he will be able to move closer to China. There is a major territorial dispute between China and the Philippines (over Scarborough Shoal) and the Chinese are unlikely to ally with the Filipinos unless they gave up their claims on that island.

I am not sure whether there is enough support for a complete separation from China in Hong Kong. Most of the people are afraid that if they push too hard, then the Chinese will just annex them and cancel the special powers.

I don't know.... In addition to the coins which he got from the Silk Road auction (close to BTC30,000 at around $600 per coin), he purchased thousands of additional coins from various exchanges. And right now, it seems that he is almost at break-even.

For data entry or captcha typing, you don't need very advanced skills. If you know how to read and write, and if you have a good laptop with you, then that is more than enough.

Lol... your rates are too low. $5 for 10 hours means just $0.5 per hour. If you do data entry or captcha typing, you will be able to earn at least 5 times that much. If you know coding or programming, then you'll be able to earn much more.

Go to the services section and see whether there are any jobs which you are able to do. Logo and signature designing is in good demand. Escrow services and giving out loans are other options, but you need a positive trust to do that (most of the times).

You have not given any details about your skills. If you do coding or programming, you can easily earn in excess of BTC2 per month. There are many users out there, who pay in Bitcoins.

My advice to you is not to participate in any sig campaigns at this point. Try to get some good reputation by making quality posts and participating in popular threads, and then apply for some established sig campaign.

Never try trading and gambling. Most of the times, you will lose your investment. Rather, work hard and earn your coins. Try these:

1. Publish ads from a-ads or coinurl in your websites/blogs and earn coins.
2. Do coding or content creation in exchange for BTC (try Jobs4Bitcoins).
3. Try mining after joining a mining pool.

I started collecting coins in mid-2014, when my friend introduced me to the world of digital currency. I was attracted by the idea of replacing the fiat and discarding the banks. And moreover, it is fun to participate in the discussions here.
