An actual demerit button would be nice but the deductions would only be applicable for a certain period enough to fool a lot of people that theymos is serious with the joke. If theymos want to push it to another level adding some demerit sources might be another level that anti-merit users would really hate. And of course this would be fun for users as they can demerit the shit out of spammers and shitposters in the forum.

Why do a lot of people rely on historical ptice movements as basis on their predictions for the next bull run? Its highly inaccurate to do as you don't have the same conditions back then to what we have now aside that its somehow similar to irs previous price movements. We have seen BTC compared to its hitorical price movements before and it only has proven that it doesn't repeat its movement all of the time. If you really want to accurately predict on where it will go you should be using techjical analysis for its present movement.

Offchain transactions have existed even before the Lightning Network was created. To eliminate transaction fees some 3rd party wallets like Coinbase have offered their clients until now a offchain based transaction without the addition of transaction or network fees. The result is the user will be able to send their BTC instantly for free. The only catch is you need to have the same wallet (Coinbase to Coinbase wallet) for this to work.
2524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: March 25, 2019, 07:12:56 PM
It was just one of those very rarely nights where the underdog team has one of their best days and hit every shot. I've watched 2 quarters of that match, the Mavericks were unstoppable from 3 point range, GWS also helping them by giving open shots. GWS without Curry is not the same team. Their tempo is a lot slower and obviously the 3 point percentage is lower.
The best thing about this game is they didn't even have Porzingis to play with them and even though they don't have their best line up they still managed to win by a huge margin. Doncic is one of those players who is really passionate about the game and he will do anything to win  every game he has. Mavericks have a promising future and I think by the time Nowotzki retire he knows that his team will have a good replacement for him. The only thing stopping them is that other teams are really better than them right now and if they want to win another championship they must have a good line up to match against the contenders.

Another way is of course buying Bitcoin at Crypto ATMs which all you need to do is to provide your deposit address as well as the cash you will feed to the machine. Here is a website showing what crypto ATMs are available all through out Europe. If you want to make it easier you can directly put up your country where you living to pinpoint what ATMs are near to you. Keep in mind that the rates here would be bigger compared to what other modes will be offering.
2526  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-03-24] Statistics Shows Gold Mining Costs 23 Times more than Bitcoin Minin on: March 24, 2019, 07:46:44 PM
Quote
The figures showed that Gold costs about $105 billion annually and consumes about 475 million GJ while Bitcoin mining costs only $4.5 billion and uses only 183 million GJ annually.

It won't persuade the environmentalists because if the cost of mining continues to go up in proportion to the value
They'll always argue next that Bitcoin is a volatile asset as compared to Gold in which it is stably moving upwards. They will always say that Gold is a physical asset that has more use and value for human beings which Bitcoin cannot do. But the thing is if Environmetalist argue this statement they are also agreeing that this gold miners are right to destroy the environment they are advocates. Mining Bitcoin is way different unlike mining minerals and oil as aside from the electricity they consume they also depleted the limited resources the Earth has.
2527  Economy / Economics / Re: Has anything been a good hedge against a financial crisis? on: March 24, 2019, 06:04:07 PM
I wouldn't bet on any assets at first because I know to myself that its not the best time to hold one. If we are in a financial crisis right now I wouldn't move up any of my cash to assets or if I have assets (except for Real Estate) I would sell them all before it even gets worse. Although the cash I will have will be vulnerable to change the assets like Stocks will be the first one to fall as investors would definitely liquidate most of it. So if the market has breath already this is when its the best time to buy any assets you can afford.
2528  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Patience is the main key of success on trading platform. on: March 24, 2019, 01:29:28 PM
Sometimes for me the profit I got already satisfies me even though the altcoin I am holding have the chance of going up and it is a missed opportunity for me. One thing that helps me though is I always set up a target selling price (as well as a cut loss price), that when I reached the target price I immediately sell any price movement that happens afterwards won't affect me as I achieved the ideal profit I want. Also keep in mind that sometimes patience can kill a trade, not being satisfied for the paper gain you have can sometimes hurt you especially if the price action was just a temporary pump and all your gains will turn into losses.
2529  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: What can I do to make it more transparent? on: March 24, 2019, 12:26:22 PM

I traded forex in mid-2017.
At that time I was trading at average prices, I got 89% of lucrative positions. maximum of 299 consecutive positions in profit. and average profit of 30% per month. In the end, the balance was zero after two mismanaged management maneuvers.
I went to analyze where I went wrong, and I saw that a serious problem was the leverage, it used 100 leverage, but it should be at the maximum in 30x.
You just self-admittedly told us that you are coming from two losses (that went to zero balance) and you will try to test out your new strategy with the money of your investors? Just by reading it I wouldn't be confident on putting my money behind you I wouldn't want it to be a test subject for a trader who have a history of losing profit before. Any ways if you want transparency in mind you should have a live program in which your users would see your active trades and your trade history that they can view anytime, at least in this way they can have peace of mind on seeing what is happening with their money.
2530  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Literatus.org - blogging platform where authors earn [Bitcoin accepted here] on: March 24, 2019, 08:33:41 AM
~snip~
Thanks for the comments.

Yes, it lets everyone sell articles on the platform. Of course, it's also possible to publish articles without a price (I think free posts will always be much more than paid ones).

It's true that there are not so interesting articles that are worth to pay on Literatus at the moment. It's a brand new site. Hope there will be greats authors and thousands of high quality priced posts in the future. I think readers don't stay back themselves from paying a little amount of money to read a good article in that case.

Authors already try to earn money by sellings their writings on different platforms like Leanpub, Tuts+ etc. So, I think there is a room for this model.
The problem I see here is the author has no way to monetize their content without making their articles "paid", and in that order their only way to earn is to build up an audience for themselves which I think will take a long time especially if the site itself has not a lot of users by now. Unlike Youtube, Steemit, and other money earning ways for content makers they earn without making their content paid at the same time their followers gets what they want without paying anything. You have a good thing going on here but I don't think it would work for you and your authors.
2531  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Literatus.org - blogging platform where authors earn [Bitcoin accepted here] on: March 23, 2019, 08:59:25 PM

So the bottom line is your project is willing to let unknown writers to sell their articles in your Literatus website? I doubt that a first time reader would have interest to pay something up every time he just wants to read an article. What is happening is unlike Steemit in where publishers can earn at the same time their readers wouldn't have to pay anything but to upvote this wouldn't work as I doubt that readers will be interested on something where they need to pay up just to read, and given by the articles already published in your website I don't find anything interesting at all to the point I need to pay the author to read his/her future articles.
2532  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Moon3D is faking their max profit (moon3d.io) on: March 23, 2019, 08:08:38 PM
https://www.bustabit.com/license.txt

The site has not paid for a bustabit license and is considered untrustworthy by devans, the owner of bustabit.
I think just by this thing is enough for them to earn a negative trust here in the forum if they do have a thread here. This alone only means that they are untrustworthy as said by RHavar as they have stolen the game from Bustabit compared to other websites who have purchased it from them. In my own opinion this is the first red flag for a gambling website who cannot be trusted and should be avoided as you cannot really trust anyone who haven't have a licensed version of Bustabit.
2533  Other / Meta / Re: Doubt about deleted posts. on: March 23, 2019, 06:47:52 PM
For the OP I think you might be worried about your post requirement for the signature campaign, that is why you are keeping track of your post count. But I don't think you need to worry about it at all since some campaign managers are aware that threads are getting deleted that is why they count posts by date not by post count. Just take a look at what Yahoo said in our campaign when a member thought he was short for the week.

Dear Yahoo...
I just see only 3 people got qualified for last round of this campaign (as last week mods deleted massive amount of old posts).

Kindly check the posts made in last 7 days.. For the period of 9th Mar to 15th Mar, I have made 32 posts...

Thank you.
You people really need to relax. If a campaign manager is doing their job correctly, they will manually count posts like I do. I open every single persons profile every single week and look at what a user has done for the current week. I'm not worried about past weeks. If you have 25 qualifying posts for the current week you are good to go. Now if posts for the current week are deleted that's on you. You should pay attention to your post counts and always do a few extra posts each week
2534  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-03-21] Blockchains Have Merit, But Cryptocurrencies Won’t Take Over on: March 23, 2019, 05:19:15 PM
As far as I know the IMF and the World bank have a strict loan structure that only a few countries capable can even lend in them. That is why most under developed countries tend to borrow money from other countries. That is why we are seeing China as the number one suspect for doing "debt traps" in which the Chinese government knows that this under developed countries don't have the ability to pay that their main goal really is for them taking over their assets. So far the countries who fell victim recently are Uganda and Zambia.

However, America also has borrowed money in the trillions from China. Will China also own and takeover America's assets?

I reckon they might have problems collecting for payment hehehe.
Well there has been a lot of rumors surrounding Yuan taking over the USD but the thing is this is a myth at best. The thing is there is still a lot of difference between a developed country borrowing money from China and an underdeveloped county borrowing from them. USA will only borrow money to the point they know that they can payback the amount in the given time, unlike this underdeveloped countries who are willing to risk their own assets just to have some fresh cash in them.

With an easy group being handed out to Italy, I think this is the right time to see them bounce back from disappointing none appearance in the World Cup. If they want to set things right they should make noise in their group early on as I don't think they can make any excuses anymore for such a long absence in the world stage. Any losses by the teams in their group would simply be an embarrassing thing to see for the fans.
2536  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: List for people who want to start paying with BTC on: March 21, 2019, 07:46:06 PM
I am highly aware of gadgets, accessories, clothes, and even hames being paid online via Bitcoin. But what I am more curious to see is if there are any popular food companies selling their food with BTC payments. Because it seems like its the only industry being left out as I haven't seen any restos do so. So are there any food chains offering up their food in exchange for BTC? At least in the US I know it's possible chances are this is already happening for small establishments.
2537  Economy / Speculation / Re: The end of the sideways market is only a few months a head. TA on: March 21, 2019, 06:57:07 PM
If Bitcoin has the chance to trigger the bull market its best time is right now, slow movements upward to 4,000$ level is an ideal thing to see as buyers and sellers of BTC have been pushing it upwards without any sudden drops. Another failure to breakout the 4,200$ level would only extend the bear market but I do think the positive outcome happening from that is we the investors could have the last attempts to buy BTC cheap before it takes off to another bull run.

You forgot to mention the big financial institutions such as JPMorgan who has been mainly dissing Bitcoin for what it is yet they develop their own coin on their of Blockchain, they forgot to hate Bitcoin as a whole but they are using the idea backing it in for their own financial gain. Another company worthy to be mentioned is Starbucks whom suddenly has plans for Bitcoin being accepted in their shops but before that their CEO has negative views to it since early 2017. I love to see how this big corporations wanting to have a piece on Bitcoin, it's like they are eating their own words.
2540  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hidden gems in the Crypto world! on: March 21, 2019, 06:23:10 AM
With the prices down at least 80% of its value right everything can be considered as a hidden gem in the crypto market. So if I were you I wouldn't be choosy when it comes to picking up any crypto I would see right now. The only thing I should consider is if this crypto I am buying is a known mover at the same time BTC is rising up, becUse sometimes there are some coins like DOGE left in the action during big price jumps.
