I see absolutely no point thinking about what you could have/should have done more than a decade ago as it won't do you any good. The same goes for all those articles during bull run with titles such "if you spent $100 on bitcoin 12 years ago now you would have xyz millions". The only thing that it achieves is newbies investing in altcoins instead of bitcoin, thinking that they are too late while they should focus on getting bitcoin now.

After his closest buddies Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang pleaded guilty, SBF decided to go another route and pleaded not guilty on all charges. Bold move I must admit, after those two pleading guilty.

Voted for "There will be a continuation of the bearish trend and a new bottom" as I don't think we are at the bottom yet but not far from it as well. Everyone expects that bitcoin do its things like in previous cycles, but this is the first time in its existence that it may go through recession so recovery and new all time high might take a longer time than before. Then again, I've been consistently wrong in my pessimistic predictions so hopefully it will be the same this time.

Either way, I have no intentions waiting for possible bottom and instead I've been adding more bitcoin on every salary.

Its perfectly normal to have somewhat lower accuracy when you first start reporting, especially before you get the access to report history (you get that after 300 good reports) as it gets easier to figure out bad reports if you report in bulk.
If you want to reach those 300 good reports asap, probably the best place for that is altcoin board due sheer amount of shitposts there.

Sto se tice onog contesta, tko zeli pratiti situaciju moze to napraviti ovdje (Loyce updejta na dnevnoj bazi). Od nasih, slackovic je trenutno na odlicnom drugom mjestu ( i jako blizu prvom), casperBGD takodjer nije los na 8. a ne daleko od njega su Trofo i cryptofrka na 11. i 12. mjestu.
Svi mi koji smo imali veliki postotak u stablecoinima smo za sada na dnu (ja sam 32. od 41) a nadam se da ce tako i zavrsiti contest jer bi to znacilo da godina i nije tako losa bila

Everyone (and by everyone I mean all members who are capable of writing a coherent sentence) already have the opportunity to make more than a couple of bucks per week as there's more spots in signature campaigns than there are solid members so even shitposters are capable of making $200-$300 per month.


You don't think that's not exactly what scammers are doing anyway, after they get negative tag? Of course they make a new account to continue scamming so banning them wouldn't make then any more dangerous than they are now.

As for me, I would like to see forum being more open to creating few more local boards (Pakistan for sure and eventually Bangladesh) as I don't really see a downsides of that.

Yep, it was pretty obvious how this story will end up, even though we gave them benefit of doubt at first with that jackpot bs but it didn't take them long to actually start scamming people.


If there was any doubt who was behind the winner account now there isn't. 


I kinda expected OP to create one but since he didn't here it is, flag type 1 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3077

I just wanted to point out the small mistake as SBF paid O'Leary $15 million for his services and not $1.5 million. That's the amount he claims the he lost in SBF, even though based on one of his interviews (can't find it now) he actually didn't lose everything.

If you follow this forum for a long time, then you should have be prepared for some tough questions without losing your composure, like you did.


As seen in the screenshot below, you made three posts in a row, from which last two were deleted while the first one is still there so I have no idea what are you talking about. And yes, all posts written in that topic are archived, you can see them here https://ninjastic.space/topic/5432564.0

As I said, your post was deleted because it was consecutive one (and that is against forum rules as well, see rule nr 33), not because what you wrote. You could have simply edit your last post and include your reply to him instead creating new topic claiming that you are censored. My advice to you is to lock this one and continue discussion dkbit98's topic, this time following rules.

Regarding his accusation, it wouldn't be a first time that someone creates an army of sock puppet accounts to shill their business. I am not saying that's the case here, but we've seen it many times before. And yes, people were that stupid.

No one is scared here, your post was deleted because you broke one of the OP's rules, more specifically the one about consecutive posting. Next time just edit your last post if you forgot to reply.

If you are into it for a long run, the best time to buy bitcoin is always now. Less experienced will try to time the market and buy the bottom (which is impossible anyway unless you are very lucky) which usually results in paying more (speaking from personal experience btw) while in reality its best to start buying now, and eventually use DCA so you are not so affected with price volatility and more importantly you get the habit of buying bitcoin.

App Store or Google Play are not good places to download apps either, especially not something as sensitive as a cryptocurrency wallet. While App Store is more security oriented and its much harder to upload a fake app there (but it happens from time to time), Google Play is a scammer's heaven as they are not as thorough as Apple is. Some time ago I started looking for and reporting those but eventually gave up as it was nothing but a whack a mole game.

With that being said, the only place where anyone should download the app is from the official website, but even then you may end up being victim if you click on a phishing website.

Yep. Some time ago I was curious to see what were the numbers back in those early days and from what I saw, Russian was always the most active local board. At the height of the ICO craze in the late 2017-early 2018 Russian board was regularly going over 150-200k which is insane number compared to situation now. Big part of that was probably bounty spam, but number was impressive nevertheless.


If I have to take a guess, its probably more about people from those countries probably using some other mean of communication rather than anything else.


That's probably a factor too, but I never really understood that behavior. I was in a campaign that didn't count count posts in local boards for a year and a half and it never crossed my mind that I should write there less, or to avoid my local board all together.

In reality Russian board never really lost the first spot, all that changes were caused due old deleted posts which was the cause for me switching to another data source.


Pakistan is going strong for at least 2 years now, which is imho proof enough that they are not going anywhere and that they indeed deserve their own local board in order to develop further, like Nigerians will now after they got their own.



Afaik Merit Dashboard shows data from 2018 onward while on ninjastic.space you can find local board post count from the moment of their creation.

Needless to say, awesome work!

Of course they won't admit that its been an inside job, no one expected anything else from them. Not that is anyone believing them, especially since people warned them about losing money and instead taking those warnings seriously, they instead shifted blame to users and exchanges.

Congrats on your first bitcoin purchase and hopefully first of many!

I do hope that you plan to move bitcoin to your own non-custodial wallet, so you have complete control over your money. My suggestion is Electrum for start and then eventually a hardware wallet.

You really don't wanna to lose slacker of the month award since you are you are coming dangerously close to the end of the month with your local board overviews.    Joke aside, another incredibly detailed overview  so no wonder that it takes you quite some time to finish it.


Nope, I don't have ninjastic.space data prior to August 2021. I can prepare something next week (no guarantees dee my tendency to  procrastinate  ) unless you do it by yourself.

You are correct, no merit means no ranking up. And in order to get merit your posts have to be helpful to someone, which they currently aren't. From what I can see, you are not actively participating in discussions and instead you read the first post of topic, leave your opinion on the matter (and its usually 2-3 sentences) and move to another one.
The fact that you are mostly active in Politics & Society and Off-Topic boards doesn't help either (as they are historically low merit boards) but its possible to get merit there as well if you add value to discussions.

Awesome work, thank you!

Few notes:
-Can you also make it to show accumulative posts throughout the years, instead of showing each month separately?
-As other pointed out, Russian board has issue and that's because up until 2021 (more precisely from August 2021 overview ) I was using Merit Dashboard that calculates total amount of posts different way and can be affected by large amount of deleted posts like it is the case in Russian board. For that reason I switched to ninjastic.space that doesn't take into consideration deleted posts. Having said that, it would be good to use data from ninjatic.space only for these charts of yours.

I am sure that it took you some time to scrape all that data manually from my charts so thank you once again!
