Themos drafted this idea in Merit & new rank requirements but he states clearly that he does not want to deploy it.

There is currently no such thing as a "demerit". I'm hoping that the positive merits alone will be fine. I could add demerits pretty easily later on if necessary, though.

theymos actually stepped in and did some demerit transactions in Bitcointalk merit transaction history.

If you see some bad posts received merit, you can report it to theymos and hopefully demerit transactions will be executed by theymos.

demerit with 569 demerits.

Losing hope with Al Nassr opportunity for winning domestic league? its seems too early losing hope regarding gap 4 points and I don't sure tonight easily for Al Hilal defeat Al Ettifaq. Don't be pessimistic because because Al Nassr keep fighting until at the last matchday for winning domestic league exactly for Cristiano Ronaldo want to get domestic trophy with Al Nassr.
In Saudi Professional League, they will not lose hope if they keep winning because when they complete their task, winning their matches, they simply wait for bad results from Al Hilal. Their hope only will become smaller if they have a draw or defeat and know that they will not be able to reduce gap with Al Hilal and even will face risk of having bigger gap if Al Hilal wins.

Quote
In AFC Champion League, Al Nassr still has chance become the winner, success qualify to quarter final and will face AL Ain to make easily lead to semifinal round, its good achievement for Cristiano Ronaldo if can win domestic league and AFC Champion League for this season exactly he was two season without domestic league trophy.
In AFC Champions League, they are going to a quarter final round and are continuing their fight to go to a final match and win it. Cristiano Ronaldo will be very happy if he wins AFC Champions League after winning some UEFA Champions League with Manchester United and Real Madrid. He will be a first player can do that in history and it suits with his motivation, chasing records.

Another alternative for OP is to use futures trading and use 1x leverage where it will look like a spot but not good I believe because the fee is higher when you do this and much better to use the spot market.
Because the case of OP is very common for futures market where you can set immediately stop losses upon opening a trade.
The fee with futures trading is very expensive than spot trading and it isn't only risk.

There is another risk that from 1x leverage, it's easily to increase the leverage to higher number and amateur trader will easily lose control on leverages and their greed, fear. From a good beginning, it possibly ends as nightmare with higher leverages and forced liquidations, not only about more expensive fee.

Amazing outcome for Klopp and Liverpool. So many injuries we had to play a bunch of kids but we still found a way to win. What a club, no other team with this many injuries wins that game today.
Van Dijk is back to his best, what a legend. This will give us massive momentum now going forward with more trophies to play for this season.
Klopp has a first title in this season with Liverpool for his last season with them. They are going to fight in Premier League and Europa League and are doing well. I hope they will win at least one more title in this season as a celebration for Klopp and a happy goodbye after all best they have together over nearly 10 years.

Van Dijk has yet been back to his best if we consider his performances throughout this season but in a single match, he can have excellent performance like this final match.

According to the match, it still looks quite well and Liverpool even more dominated the match. They made 24 shots and won 54% of the ball possessions. It means, Liverpool still can perform with their best although they used many substituted players in the midfield and attacking line. But of course, the shot accuracy will be very different with the main players. So, no attacker could score a goal, Van Dijk who scored a single goal in the extra time to make Liverpool winning the EFL Cup. Again, Van Dijk showed to the people that he is a true hero in Liverpool squad.
Klopp does not only help Liverpool to win this cup but he has also set up a solid foundation for Liverpool in coming years. Some youth players were grown up by Klopp in the last three seasons and they will help the club to save a lot of transfer money and play important role in Liverpool squad in next some seasons. This title is a first one for many young players in Liverpool and it can lit up their career in future as well.

AC Milan team could not win today's match despite good performance. The overall gameplay of the Milan players was good. But Milan's strikers cannot play well in this match. Milan could not score more than one goal despite having several chances. The match was drawn 1-1. Atalanta played a defensive strategy in this match. Atalanta's players aimed to draw the match. So in the second half we didn't see much attack from Atalanta players.
Atalanta know that they are weaker than AC Milan and they don't aim at a winning at San Siro. Atalanta are in a very tough race with some clubs to get a fourth position so one point from AC Milan means a lot for them. It is better than trying to win and at the end they have a loss with 0 point to go home. AC Milan wanted to win this match but with 1 point from it, their third position is not affected too much. They let Juventus expanding the gap to three points but it is not too much important with AC Milan because they and Juventus both nearly fail against Inter Milan for Scudetto.

Quote
In the first half, the performance of the players of both the teams was good. However, in the second half we saw both teams change their match tactics. Milan played completely attacking in the second half. On the other hand, Atalanta did not try to attack in the second half. Milan players have 68% ball possession. They managed to make a total of 20 shots. Even then he could not score more than one goal. The performance of Milan's attacking players is still quite weak.
AC Milan tried to attack and win the match but it is not their day. Their players failed to make accurate shots to score enough goals for them to get three points. With AC Milan, maintaining their third position and go as farthest as possible in Europa League, and if possible win Europa League, will be their best achievement in this season.

Close win for Bayern today but Tuchel said he will de a professional job until the end and it looks like he will. However, his team needs to lift the game as well if they want to keep that 2nd place or if they want to beat Lazio in the next game in UCL , because if none of this happens , this will be a complete failure season for Bayern and personally I can't blame only Tuchel...
I don't doubt about professional of Tuchel as he shown it in Mainz, Dortmund, PSG and Chelsea. This close win does not show good signal that Bayern Munich are ready to beat Lazio in their second leg match in Champions League. From recent matches of Bayern Munich, their players shown some strange behavior that is signal of internal conflict between Tuchel and players. With this conflict, it's hard for Bayern Munich to go far and achieve titles in this season.

Looking at the second leg of the Champions League against Lazio, I am quite pessimistic that Bayern can turn things around.
The Bayern team's slumping performance will certainly affect the players' mentality and self-confidence.
Lazio recently have good form in Serie A and they are really ready to make surprise in Allianz Arena in the next match. Champions League is very important for Bayern Munich because they bought Harry Kane with expensive cost to win it. And even don't win it, go far in Champions League will help them to enrich their finance a lot.

I think you are getting Bitcoin confused with Ethereum. In Ethereum, you must have enough ether in the wallet to pay the fee to send tokens. Bitcoin doesn't work that way. In Bitcoin, the fee is the sum of the source UTXOs minus the amount being sent.
Wallet allows user to do adjustments for a transaction like Replace By Fee with two options if initially, the initial transaction was broadcasted to send all bitcoins (all UTXOs) in that wallet.

- Deduct a transaction value by taking a new fee (bump fee) and decrease the transaction value.
- Preserve a transaction value and with this option, it will show errod (don't have enough bitcoin to pay fee). The user will have to manually decrease the transaction value to have enough for fee or change to a first option.

With Osimhen recovery, it will be easier for Napoli to get an additional three points when they visit Cagliari. Napoli chance to finish in the top four of the standings is increasingly difficult with the current point difference, because Napoli have to wait for Bologna, Atalanta, Roma, Lazio and Fiorentina to lose points. Something that is very unlikely to happen, and now the competition is increasing because Roma is starting to rise too, De Rossi has brought improvements to the club. The most logical target that Napoli could possibly achieve is a ticket to the Europa League, but if they still lose points this will not be possible.
The return of Osimhen will be very helpful for Napoli in rest of season and he quickly shown his importance and good contribution for Napoli by an equalizer goal against Barcelona in Champions League. In Serie A, with their condition now, it is very hard to surpass several clubs above them to enter top four. They must play well and at the same time need those above clubs have very bad results.

You name a long list of competitors against Napoli and it shows their difficult task to complete for achieving top four position.

Quote
Statistically, the chances of victory tend to be in Napoli favor, and a change of coach is likely to be the basis for the Napoli squad motivation in this match. In the Champions League, Napoli managed to hold Barcelona to a draw thanks to a goal from Osimhen, I think he will again be the player who can make the difference in the outcome of the match when Napoli face Cagliari tomorrow. It was the first match for Napoli new coach at Serei A, I wish him luck.
Napoli need to beat Cagliari and get three more points in Serie A. At this moment, they should not care too much about what other clubs will perform in coming matches. They have to focus on their own performances in Serie A and wait and with good results there, they will have good preparation for a tough match in Spain against Barcelona.

A draw in Naples in a first leg means Napoli still have good chance to go to Champions League quarter finals. Barcelona are not too strong and stable so that they can outperform Napoli and make Napoli feel hopeless in that match.

do i need to an expert in trading before someone will be successful.
With small capital and with greed to be successful, you will probably end with using leverage/ futures trading. These trading types are far more risky than Spot Trading type and it will cause you to lose all your small capital.

My advice is don't use leverage and futures trading if yo don't want to lose your small capital.

Don't chase for very promising high ROIs like x10, x100 because when you are trapped with such greed, you will find hidden scam coins. You consider them as hidden gems but mostly you will lose money to scam coins.

I saw those emails as proofs that Craig Wright is actually a Faketoshi.

We saw emails from Satoshi Nakamoto to Hal Finney, to Adam Back but the Faketoshi did not show any proof to claim he is actually Satoshi Nakamoto.

He shared some a draft version of Bitcoin White paper but with edited time and when people detected it, he said he did it to secure his privacy.

There are two types of people, who want to keep things in secret like Adam Back. He kept those emails secretly in many years before sharing it when he saw it is necessary to fight against the Faketoshi.

Another type is the Faketoshi, want to prove he is someone actually is not him.

Torino vs Lazio
     0    -      2
Victory for Lazio

Lazio was able to take the lead from Torino in the second half, after the first half, the game was quite boring. However, in the second half, Lazio was able to optimize their dominance to attack and score 2 goals. but the problem was that they got a red card in the 79th minute. So this is quite worrying. However, fortunately this was Torino, and Torino was apparently unable to optimize their chances against 10 players well enough. It was proven that until the match was over, Torino was not even able to score 1 goal. This victory for Lazio brought them closer to 6th place with a very competitive points gap with Roma.
Lazio struggled to beat Torino in a boring match but they achieved three points from Torino with a home-away match. Torino failed to score even one goal at home and accepted a 4 points difference than Lazio. Before this match, two clubs have nearly same total points but the gap becomes bigger after the final whistle.

Lazio surely are happy with this result but their target will not only a six position but will be a higher one. It will be a fourth position that is eligible to participate in Champions League which means more money for their club.

Lazio played very well against Victory but one of their players played with too much excitement and in addition to getting a yellow card he also got a red card even though he won the match it had a negative effect on their reputation. Mario Gila played a lot of fouls today.  But one positive for Lazio is that they are almost level with Roma on points. there is only 1 point gap between them. Accordingly, Lazio's position can be said to be very good. they are playing well but even if they can overtake Roma on points, they don't seem capable of overtaking Bologna.
This win helps Lazio to have only one point less than AS Roma and they are both racing with two above clubs Atalanta and Bologna in order to take a last position in top four. They also can aim at a fifth position with hope that Italian clubs will have good results in three UEFA leagues (Champions League, Europa League and Conference League) in this season, to help the league receives 5 spots for Champions League 2024 - 2025.
273  Economy / Gambling / Re: Freebitco.in - FUN Token Investment Experiment on: February 23, 2024, 03:00:58 AM
Despite current cheap FUN price, I think investors are still fearful of investing, because we don't know yet if prices will continue falling down (paired to BTC). On the other hand, if FUN increased again to 14-15 satoshis, it would be helpful to raise optimism among investors once again.
It depends on their perspective of investment.

If they want to see their portfolio grows in $ value, they will not have that fear.
If they want to see their portfolio grows in BTC value, they will have that fear.

Choosing a right time in the market to spend money for buying altcoins and gain both growth in $ and BTC values is very challenging. Usually when Bitcoin leads the market, starts its bull run, mostly altcoins will have shocks in BTC pairs. You will see your portfolio grows up in $ value but drops in BTC value. It's time to hold BTC, not altcoins.

When Bitcoin stops its bull run, has a correction, calm down some days after its correction, it's time to buy altcoins. It will possibly give you chance to gain increases in both pairs ($ and BTC).

Well I even regret not caring about Bitcoin in the past. I just heard his name a lot and ignored him. So this time I don't want any regrets again. So I started investing and accumulating BTC since the bear market started.
There are some bear markets, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2022 and from your account registration date, I guess you implied about 2022 and 2023 bear market.

I know you even could invest earlier than 2022 or 2023, before you joined Bitcointalk like in 2021. Could you share a time when you started your first investment in Bitcoin, please.

Quote
Even since the price of BTC was still quite expensive at that time
If you invested in 2022, price was cheap but if you invested in 2021, price was more expensive. Again, please share that did you begin your investment in 2021?

Quote
But fortunately, after I accumulated using the DCA method, I now have a fairly low average purchase price and have doubled my profits at the current price. But I still invest in other things too. Because for me DIversification is the most important thing.
DCA is a good strategy for investors in Bitcoin. It can help them to accumulate Bitcoin regularly and without headache and need to find bottoms, good entries. This strategy helps investors to gradually spend big capital for their investment, without pressure of spending money.

Liverpool always remain strong even when M. Salah is injured. But I hope Salah doesn't get injured again. Because without Salah, we always feel that there is something missing from Liverpool's match. But Liverpool did manage to score a lot of goals in the last 2 matches. In the previous match, Brentford lost with a score of 1-4 and now Luton also lost with a score of 4-1. And getting 8 goals in 2 matches is proof that Liverpool are still at their best. And actually Liverpool has several important players injured. But it is truly extraordinary that Jurgen Klopp can still make this team stay in their best performance.
Mohamed Salah is very important with Liverpool and he helped them to win or get a point many time. Liverpool are playing well without Salah but they surely miss him and will feel his absence in difficult matches.

Brenford are not an opponent that can challenge against Liverpool too much and the Kop got a winning. Easy win or difficult win, it is not important too much if they can get a maximum three points. Liverpool only need to maximize total points they can collect in last 12 matches in Premier League to beat Manchester City and Arsenal in this season.

By beating Brentford and get 60 points, Liverpool kick the ball of pressure back to Manchester City and Arsenal.

I don't know what happened to Atletico Madrid but in that match the Atletico Madrid squad seemed to lose their accuracy. At the beginning of the first half Atletico Madrid had a chance but well their shooting accuracy was really a big problem in the match. While Inter Milan actually also had more good chances. But we have to appreciate J. Oblak as a goalkeeper who I thought was really great in the match. Because he is always able to read the movement of the direction of the ball that will be shot by Inter MIlan players. If not J. Oblak I think Atletico Madrid could concede a few more goals. But the goalkeeper's saving action was extraordinary.

I already guessed Inter Milan would excel in the match. So this result is not surprising at all. It's just that Atletico Madrid did play below their usual performance.
Inter Milan created many opportunities and they only converted one of them to the only and winning goal. They should finish those chances better to have a safer advantage before a second match in Spain. It's a little disappointment from this winning but the match ends and they can celebrate the winning. Meanwhile, after celebration and a next match, they can sit down and build up a properly plan for a second match.

Atletico Madrid will become stronger and more dangerous at their home stadium and I believe Inter Milan will not have an easy and comfortable match in Spain. Oblak had a great match for Atletico Madrid and he will continue to be a foundation for his club to win against Inter Milan in an aggregated result.

This is football, don't expect too much because your high hopes might be cut short by the flying incidents in the system. Rumours fast circulating about PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi pointing out Victor Osimhen as the potential replacement for the outgoing keyman in the team, Kylian Mbappe. Does it makes sense ? It's a big YES because Osimhen is one of the versatile player that's fits in the frontlines position and always have a way to enchanced his capacity on the pitch.
PSG know that they failed to convince Mbappe so it's no other choice than let him go.

Choosing Osimhen as an alternative and replacement for Mbappe, is a good choice, because he is very talented, strong and energetic striker. He is goal productive and also is ready to contribute for defense of his team. With Osimhen, PSG will have more proactively defense contribution from a front line and it's different than Mbappe who is free from defensive and also does not want to do it.

How is it  that possible that someone can lost in Trading when he or she is making huge profit?
A trader can see good profit but if he uses a bad order on an exchange with small trading volume, he can make mistakes when selling to take profit. Like using Market price order type, after his sell order is filled, he might not get profit, but loss.

If a trader already sells his bitcoin successfully and gets profit, a next possibility of loss is making mistake when withdrawal. Like sending it to a wrong address or fail to withdraw from a centralized exchange because it is a scam exchange.

I will take profit, withdraw gradually in some different trading orders and different withdrawals. If I make mistake in one trading order, one withdrawal, I will not lose all my money.

Stop loss
Stop limit
Trailing stop losss.

Stop loss is one of best weapons in trading.
If you want something better than Stop loss, you can consider Stop limit order that will help you to have two layers of protection against market crashes.

We know that governments and central banks can print more fiat currencies anytime and dump it on the market. From $1T, they can make it to $1.5T or $2T anytime they have need to boost their national economy.

A biggest and latest example is the US. dollar with massive money printing during pandemic Covid-19.

The chart for Quantitative Easing shows the exponential money printing from FED.

You can look at the US debt clock and see that FED only makes it worse and worse.
