The forum is quite an otherly and well moderated one such that one with the mindset of boosting in ranks regardless of what he or she posts is an abolished fantasy which is commendable. It ensures purity of the forum, lives no room for ambiguous rubbish and motivates newbies to think, research and understand what the forum and world of Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency and other alternate cryptos are all about.
The forum was created a decade ago for bitcoin, not for altcoins, not for ranks. Think of it please. The forum matches your needs if you join it to learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. If you join it because of money, it does not for you.

That's a question for the newbies as I am myself one. This question has and still puzzles my mind on how it really feels. I guess a lot of you with ranks now where once in these shoes. I guess I'll find out in time by experience soon enough how it does feel. In the meantime, how about some you guys tell us, how you really felt.
You will get troubles if you think of ranks too much. Don't spend your time to think of rank.

I do not have any idea where you got this information from, but there is no such thing as "Bitcoin Managers" or using Bitcoin as a Ponzi scheme.

We theoretically do not need to stop any of these scams in any way. We are looking towards being a censorship-free community, right? If so, then stopping scams can only be done through censorship. There's nobody managing Bitcoin. KYC can still be avoided, nobody forces you to get into IEOs and ICOs and the "they collect money from people in Claim to trade for them" actually exists under a legal form, called Mutual Funds.
Such manager (bitcoin managers) destroys the core value of bitcoin, decentralization and being your own bank. Don't discuss about Ponzi scheme because the idea is wrong at the initial point. With or without such a bitcoin manager, Ponzi schemes will be run somehow. It is not a responsibility of bitcoin to deal with Ponzi scheme. Investors themselves have to be responsible for their investment decisions and what they believe in. Do their own due researches to get profits, avoid scams. It is their capital and their responsibility.

Bitcoin does not have any responsibility for any scam schemes in the crypto industry. It sucks to blame all scams to bitcoin.

Bitcoin Diamond rose nearly 20 percent in the last 24 hours [1] but I don't believe in its technology and future growth.

Take profits, enrich your total Bitcoin, and go away, don't stay with Bitcoin Diamond for too long. The Bitcoin Diamond is a fork, a shit altcoin that was forked from bitcoin.
How Many Bitcoin Forks Are There? You will be surprised!!!

2506  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reversible crypto transaction is no more impossible on: July 06, 2020, 12:35:24 PM
It should be clear to discuss about crypto or bitcoin only.

With crypto, yes there are possible reversible transactions especially if the cryptocurrency you are talking about is a centralized cryptocurrency. Like ETH, Ripple, or any other same crypto projects.

With bitcoin, it is irreversible in theory and in reality it is almost irreversible. Reversibility can only be gotten if one pool has more than 51% of the total hashrates on the network, that is difficult. And the pool need to maintain such huge hashrate long enough. On bitcoin network, with long confirmed transactions, more than 30 confirmations, it is safe enough to say they are irreversible.
2507  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does bitcoin need an addition of a safety feature? User friendly? on: July 06, 2020, 11:46:42 AM
So, the problem I had seen here is not the bitcoin platform instead it is the acceptance for the safety consumptions of the community. The different perceptions also regarding bitcoin made it worst.
There are always opposite viewpoints in any area and such opposite perceptions are good for growth.
Quote
Meaning that the community needed to be educated regarding with bitcoin and its risk.The risk I was talking about is the volatility of bitcoin market but we know that bitcoin is not different from stock market specifically in trading feature. And I think joining bitcoin has more advantage than stock market where it will allow one to earn instantly knowing also the high risk.
LOL, can you tell me that the latest terrible crash of all markets were triggered by WHO are not risky and not volatile? Can we call stock, gold, oil are not volatile? Please, if you are bitcoin or crypto enthusiast, don't seed it negatively like that.
Quote
Now, my point is that bitcoin has been considered already and working well for now but violations could be imposed to the users abusing the system from other users who had been asking help from the government specifically the investment scams. Eliminating this risks needed a help from the government or could be a private institution created for the sole purpose of safety to all users.
Scams are everywhere, and not only in bitcoin or cryptocurrency area. When people, governments like something, they will seed it positively. When they hate or don't like something else, they will seed it negatively. That is what we have seen with bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Don't worry.

What do you think guys of bitcoin platform do we really need a third party to add safety measures for the users and being a user friendly sysyem?
Bitcoin is already friendly enough.
2508  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Always look at the coins MAX supply on: July 05, 2020, 03:02:27 PM
Not only max supply but also many other things. Let me give you some of them:
- Current supply
- Total premined / instamined coins for developers.
- Inflation or deflation scheme.
- Ratio between premined/ instamined coins (for developers) per total supply: if it is high, it is not a good one because developers can dump all their coins and get a fortune before running away, abandoning projects.
- Ratio between current supply and total supply: it will help you to know the coin is in inflation or deflation period.
2509  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Institutional Investors Continue to Buy Bitcoin on: July 05, 2020, 07:32:50 AM
@Agios this is not surprising because those institutional investors are getting a bargain deal as bitcoin prices are currently low, and then they’ll hodl it for the long term and make huge amounts of profits from holding it. @ChiBitCTy personally I have found Bitcoins tech to be advanced and fast, and indeed this is a positive sign as people often follow these institutional investors buying pattern, and therefore we should witness more people adopting bitcoin in coming days.

Sources:

https://finance.zacks.com/effect-institutional-investments-stock-market-9976.html
It takes time to finish accumuation after corrections. Since the last incredible dump because of pandemic announcement from WHO, Bitcoin has gone through a long journey to break the $10k resistance and fell off as correction but still maintained so solidly in the $9k range. The news on whales, and institutional accumulations are good but they don't equal to the very near future growth of bitcoin.

Look at the chart please. It will be so weird and unlogically if bitcoin keeps rising. TBH, I am gonna wait to buy bitcoin back at a price $8k or a little higher price.
2510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A Simple Guide to Explaining Ethereum on: July 05, 2020, 06:02:05 AM
Simple the OP meant would mean that  it's easy to understand/digest for all -even beginners- some books can be so cumbersome or professional for beginners to get understanding on, I suggest every beginners should go for beginner's book on crytocurrency
Block explorers are one of first places to start in crypto. (Compilation) What is the best Ethereum explorer? (already 21 reviews!!!). That thread brings to us reviews on 21 Ethereum explorers.

I just read the article and yup he tried to explain it to people who didn't even know blockchain and crypto. He tried explaining it by comparing it to renting in a car company and etc. Try reading it and you'll understand why its called simple. Any technical topic can be explained using simple terms. That's how I learned btc and crypto too. If I Jump right away to the technical terms, I wouldn't be here cause technical terms bore me. I have to understand it first in simple terms.
Technical terms in crypto almost kill most of people at beginings. It is true for non-tech gurus and not all of us can be a tech gurus, at beginnings or at the ends after progress of reading, learning, and experiencing. Start with simple descriptions or explanations to get motivations to move further for in-depth learning on technical aspect.

In crypto, people must learn about some very fundamental technical terms and related use cases or tools. It will benefit them in the long run and also help them to discover scam projects and save their capital.
2511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A Simple Guide to Explaining Ethereum on: July 04, 2020, 01:56:19 PM
Simple, there is no simple thing if you talk about blockchain and cryptocurrency. There is a good book to learn about Ethereum Mastering Ethereum, by Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Gavin Wood but I don't consider it is a simple book or guide for anyone who want to learn about Ethereum. It requires decent time and efforts to read and learn, and not simple honestly.
2512  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] GOLD - First 100% Liquid Stablecoin Backed by Gold on: July 04, 2020, 12:08:06 PM
....there is only one problem with the BTC payment getting bigger...

Are you talking about the BTC network congestion and many unconfirmed transactions that are waiting in the mempool queue or about the latest problem on the Digital Golg marketplace itself?

As we can see they are already working on this problem and with the clogged BTC network not much can be done TBH. The only way is to send transaction with a lot bigger fee or to use ETH instead.
I always try to use ETH on the Digital Gold market because is faster, cheaper and I have never waited more than a few minutes and I did already dozens if not hundreds of transactions there.

Of course, if you only have BTC in your wallet, then there is not much you can do in such situation. I would advise checking the BTC network before sending transaction.
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,4d

Haha, transaction fee has never been a boring story. Honestly guys, this week, two or four days ago, I moved my funds from Binance, and to be honest I noticed the transaction fees to move a same amount of fund in BTC is nearly 4 or 5 fold compares to the fees for moving it as USDT on ERC20 (not OMNI, of course).

Bitcoin is the King in crypto, I totally agree and I won't start a discussion about it. It is the truth so there is no demand to prove it. The longer time you spend in crypto, the more solidly perception on that you will have. Nevertheless, when you want to move your funds, bitcoin should not be your first priority.

Reasons: Bitcoin block time is about 10 minutes per block and most of platforms often require 3 confirmations to credit to your account balance. So if you move your funds in bitcoin, when transaction fee is low, and your fee is set up at good rate, your balance will be credited after 30 minutes in perfect condition. If not, you will have to wait longer.

In such cases, let choose other cryptocurrencies. Fortunately, on GOLD marketplace, we have Ethereum. It will be a pleasure to have USDT in the future but I worry about conflict of interests.  Smiley

2513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any successful precious metal crypto? on: July 03, 2020, 11:33:39 AM
While "crypto backed by gold" sounds great, I'm not sure anymore if the advantages are worth it. It makes cryptocurrencies non-trustless again so it defeats their purpose. I guess a fixed, deflationary supply with PoW mining is enough for a coin to have value.
It is one valuable point. When a cryptocurrency requires monetary inputs to produce new coins, new supplies it is better. Rethinking about the masternodes and staking coins, it sucks because people spend very little money to operate their nodes monthly (on VPS). Their initial capital for one node can be high or low depends on each coin and temporary price of that coin when they invest but operating cost is low, that contributes to more space to scam. Spend a little but earn a lot if successful scam.
Quote
Most coins backed by precious metals offer you the opportunity to sell your coins for physical metals but that's just centralization. You simply can't create a decentralized physical gold transfer - and they request your personal information too & KYC. It's a much less hassle to simply buy real gold (or gold stocks) than purchasing these kind of tokens. So that's a no from me.
it is not true because people in crypto would prefer to own USDT or stable coins rather than USD. In some situations, usually when Bitcoin is dumped or pumped investors will have to spend more fiats to buy UDST which in turn will be used to buy bitcoin. USDT is a stable coin but its rate against real USD is changing a little.

2514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any successful precious metal crypto? on: July 03, 2020, 05:40:39 AM
Since the beginning of cryptocurrency we have  seen many precious metal crypto project. With my little knowledge i don't know any successful one. All precious metal crypto projects disappeared after funding phase. Is there any successful precious metal crypto and traded?
Metal crypto, what do you mean? Do you mean a name with Gold, Silver, Platinum, etc.? If it is what you meant, they are shit coins and have no values at starts and at the ends.

If you would like to find a good cryptocurrency or token that is backed by precious metal, like gold. The digital GOLD token is a good one. You can visit their website for more information on the project and its marketplace.

2515  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indian government Banning Cryptocurrencies? on: July 02, 2020, 12:08:27 PM
I've often seen people claim that restricting it will be 'good for Bitcoin' but that seems ludicrous to me. People will seek out drugs no matter what their legal status. It doesn't work for something that's designed for utility.

It won't stop those who were going to get into BTC anyway. It will stop the majority who otherwise would've had a dabble.
Such bans, restrictions and news are free marketing for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. I like it.

There are two types of people: The first type are for people who easily to accept new things, new technologies. They are similar to baby and have opened mind. They are always readily to learn. The second type are for people who never want to learn or accept new things. Good or bad news, restrictions or widely adoption, they will not join the party.
2516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indian government Banning Cryptocurrencies? on: July 02, 2020, 11:42:12 AM
India is becoming the new Russia, a place where so much empty shite is threatened about BTC that everyone gradually stops paying attention. People who are interested will ignore then and get on with it.

India becoming a crypto wasteland would be a shame but no great loss, it already is one. Indian government policies seem crude and abusive towards its population so I expect there will be some formal restrictions soon. Ah well. More for us.
Restrictions only stimulate curiosity of human and people who are living in crypto-restricted or banned countries will spend more time to find out about bitcoin and crypto. When they have needs, they will do spend time to search, and learn about what they are looking for.

China, Russia, and now India, they will contribute huge crypto enthusiasts in the future. I don't have doubt about their accounted crypto enthusiasts. More countries have plans to create their government digital currencies so banning crypto currencies, really? I don't think so.
2517  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Plagiarism in newbies on: July 01, 2020, 01:36:09 PM
Now, despite the general rejection of plagiarism, I still see cases among beginners. This clearly shows that newcomers write a lot of plagiarism on the forum in order to increase activity or participate in subscription companies. What can be said to such people? The only thing is that sooner or later their account will be blocked. Then in Meta begin the tearful requests for forgiveness.

Here's a recent example of such a hasty newbie who copied text for his post.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg54714064#msg54714064

The plagiarism of those people who have only reports on Bounty companies in their message history is especially noticeable.
I can understand why some people break rules with plagiarism. In some countries, people are familiar with cracked softwares, and plagiarisms are not detected well. Local laws are not strict on plagiarisms, in universities, colleges and I am sure such people don't feel any problem (from their sides) when copying and pasting for their posts on the forum, and don't care to leave source link.

Worse, they don't read the forum rules.

Anyhow, don't cry because of your laziness and rule violations because of that. Read rules and don't break them.

[TIPS] to avoid plagiarism. I don't pump it and people probably forget my topic on plagiarism. After reading it, you will find out that there are second chances for people who deserve but please don't plagiarise anything. Your odds to be given a second chance is very very low. Remember that, please.
2519  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] GOLD - First 100% Liquid Stablecoin Backed by Gold on: June 30, 2020, 12:14:04 PM
Also it worth mentioning that in the GOLD campaign the requirements for the number of posts are much better (less spammy!) than for most other campaigns.
Most of participants are good users and not spammers. I see your names and recognize who you are on the forum.
The GOLD campaign is one of the successful campaigns for 2019 until now, many want to join this campaign, but the Bounty Manager selects each participant who wants to join.
Indeed. People don't aware of the campaign because it is not paid in BTC and it has not been shown in the Mitchell's topic. People who aware of it but fear to join because their doubts on legitimacy and validity of GOLD project.
But now more and more are interested in the GOLD campaign because it is proven to continue to pay, especially the new policy on extending the campaign period which initially ended in January 2020 and was changed to a time limit that was not specified or according to the agreement of the GOLD team.
Early comers will get acceptance easier as all campaigns. If people are lazy and don't investigate or don't do their works to discover about the projects or campaigns that they have interests in, they will miss the train, miss opportunities.
2520  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indian government Banning Cryptocurrencies? on: June 28, 2020, 04:52:38 AM
India has always been cold to cryptocurrencies. There have been talks about bans for years. However, like 20kevin20 mentioned, I thought the debate was settled recently with Bitcoin declared legal (or at least that it was unconstitutional not to allow banks to deal with cryptocurrencies, an article about it can be seen here). I can see from more recent articles that the talks have been renewed about banning cryptocurrencies, but for now it's more like rumors and intentions of some parties rather than a resolved matter. It sucks that Indians have to deal with this uncertainty around Bitcoin. I do hope the idea of banning will be dismissed.
How many times bitcoin has been banned in many nations? Real and fake news, FUDs, we can not count all of them. Let's take China for further discussion. After many years and FUDs that Chinese government bans bitcoin and crypto currency, all of them forced bitcoin and crypto market dumped many times, we had the Xi pump and a green light for bitcoin and crypto currency in China.

India will not be a different. When the globe widely accept bitcoin and cryptocurrency, India will not stay outside the game and common acceptances.
