Since you read cryptocurrency news sites, always look up their writers on twitter and follow them. Especially the bitcoin magazine, Forbes, and coindesk writers. They have a strong control of cryptocurrency news even before it appear on blogs. Sometimes they tweet to get responses before writing about the topic. On the other hand, a lot of cryptocurrency projects are active on twitter, so announcements appear on twitter first and the writers can retweet the announcement for awareness. They can tweet about the trend if need arises before writing about it. Therefore, twitter is like a place to get the raw information from the horse's mouth.

Your post is quality but lacks one quality. One which I've scanned to see on the list and didn't find it. Maybe, it's there, if not there, I'll add that a quality post is a post with references to the source. And it adds more quality to the first point on your list. References on a particular answer to a question facilitates a better comprehension to the reader by encouraging them to further research about the subject.

That's on the BSV chain, once CSW finally goes to jail for all his scams that chain will die just like hundreds of shitcoins have died.
The blockchain is not something that magically keeps data alive, it's the same as a torrent, if there are enough seeds the file will be available forever if nobody shares it or in the blockchain case, there is no full node available the chain is dead and nobody can retrieve the data anymore.


Blockchain, @stompix, cannot run out of full nodes or do you see a situation where it happens? at first glance you sounded like it can occur. However, I have a question, when they are no full nodes available and later on a full node connects to the network would they be a means of retrieving transactions that happened during downtime? what do you think will happen to the already stored transactions?

It's good to see recurring threads about this same mistake to maintain awareness. But, the more it appears on forums and medias people still keep blind ears to it. And such people pay the price when the exchange collapses or go bankrupt. Also, they'll be the first to complain about how scammy cryptocurrency is to them. Certainly, with the information in circulation about the risks involved in keeping funds on exchanges the victims of these bankruptcy and disputes can be said to have self imposed the problem they are facing.
2626  Economy / Economics / Re: Will you further your degree from school, or learn a new skill after college? on: November 09, 2022, 05:57:57 PM
Life is about decisions and every body has a unique dream and goal in life. However, the best idea is having a good skill then furthering your studies for another degree to back the skill. Students, infact, forget that school is not all about degree, building networks in school shouldn't be neglected.

Anybody, anywhere, in any school can gain a master's degree but the difference is the kind of network they gained in the school, if networking is forsaked the degree may not worth it. Many a persons further their studies to reach out to other like-minded students about their skills and ideas such that after the program they'll have projects to handle together and build wealth.

A person with a PHD in a particular skill who pursues a business will make good connections than a person without a PhD in the same business.

Gambling is an addictive way of doubling or loosing money. And players must be mindful of their decisions and stakes. Bad decisions in staking can lead to depression for some persons who depend souly on the gambled funds. While we celebrate our wins whether or not it matters to jubibilate after winning huge amounts of money our next move still counts. A times players fail to enjoy the money they once celebrated. Meaning that they stake all the winnings back until its exhausted, what a bad decision.
2628  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Human nature and managerial roles on: November 09, 2022, 04:30:59 PM
As it's difficult to manage a person, family, friend or yourself same thing is applicable to managing strangers that work as a team to achieve a goal in a project. Management is always easier in real life compared to online. But, a ruthless manager will gain his goals whether online or offline. People tend to learn from punishment and moderation especially on the internet. However, if a manager celebrates failure with his team they're possibility that they'll win someday (applicable to offline). Always love the people you manage, family, friends, or co workers and don't treat anyone different from others. Care for everyone of them equally if you expect positive results.

Hitherto, $1m has a huge value for people in the USA same with Euro. Though, it depends on the nation. However, to some persons in the US or Europe a million dollar won't make any change in their lives. Monetary value changes as we grow. As a kid a few thousand is meant to look big as it'll solve your problems and purchase all the toys you like. As we grow we tend to like bigger toys like cars, yatch, bike etc which cost alot of money, upto millions. Change in time affects our needs and wants which affects how money is been valued.

Bitcoin seems new to me on daily basis, you don't have to assume that you are late. Everyday, learn a new thing about Bitcoin like everyone else in this forum. Days goesby quickly and soon the Bitcoin network will become familiar to you. Ask questions when possible and try to engage with the answers under your thread. It's a sign of acknowledgement and learning get easier from contributing to people's responses. With the little knowledge you attain here as a beginner, talking to people about Bitcoin won't be difficult.
2631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / In 2013 someone paid to store all the lyrics to a song on the blockchain. on: November 08, 2022, 11:40:06 PM
The early stage of bitcoin usage was as fun as childhood. As bitcoin grows, it's expected to face different challenges and difficulties, like in adulthood. Although bitcoin is at its teenage age, most of the hilarious bitcoin expenditure happened in the first 3-4 years of bitcoin's existence. For instance, on the 5th of November 2013, someone paid to store the lyrics of "Never Gonna Give You Up" on the bitcoin blockchain forever. The lyrics to the song are on block 468060 with 494267 confirmations. This transaction reminds me of the numerous uses of the bitcoin blockchain aside from trading coins. It's fascinating to utilize not one but all aspects of the blockchain. But, a colossal amount of users have sunned themselves under the profits and loss of trading in the blockchain network. And neglect other features that makes the blockchain unique and decentralize.

2632  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin really crashing on: November 08, 2022, 10:10:33 PM
They is always a light at the end of the tunnel, after going bearish, bullish follows. The market has survived such situations in the past and bounced back, so FUD is not a thing.  The FTX dispute is similar to the luna crash which brought bitcoin to 20k, today bitcoin is staggering around 18k. Bitcoin will not crash, I believe, below 15k like Arthur Hayes predicts in his recent tweet. Its a sharp moment to take the risk, investors may be waiting for bitcoin to plunge again. And they'll proceed to buy at a cheaper rate.
2633  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: This is why it's not a good idea to leave your coins on any exchange on: November 08, 2022, 12:25:42 PM
Its absolutely wrong to store your money with a bureau de change. The same is applicable to cryptocurrency, its sad that many traders use exchanges like wallets where they store their funds. Trading is the primary activity of exchanges and its advisable to store spare funds there. To enable easy trading experience, but leaving a big amount of coin in an exchange is just like what I said earlier; trusting a bureau de change with your fiat.

I figured out that the color riot on the home page is not user friendly; having green,black and white arranged in that manner may not hold a user to further navigate the site. I think White should be the general background color then black for texts, just like the white section for swapping currency. Another thing is the news scattered around the homepage, they should be a menu for news on the navigation bar then the currencies section hidden under the exchange drop menu should be on the section where news are. Since its an exchange people should be able to see the rate of currencies first, reading blog can come handy after the trader is done trading.
2636  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is suicide the best option? on: November 07, 2022, 01:31:54 PM
Suicide is like not being patient enough to wait 5 more hours for dinner then decide to take your life because the hunger is much. We are in a transient world. A person stays for 30-40 years then commits suicide, why not wait for another 40 years for nature to take the life it awarded them? Quite, in a way, people are destined to die one day and the source of death varies. When a person takes their life that means death came and decided they took their life themselves. People die through accidents, sicknesses, and naturally. But, a good percentage of death is self imposed. Car accidents could be through reckless driving or drunkenness, and these are not considered suicide. I'd say that death has a day for everybody and when that day arrives it doesn't matter if the person committed suicide, or had an accident the final discussion is the death of that person. Have you not noticed that nothing stops them from committing suicide no matter the love around them, rich people commit suicide too.  Judas Iscariot committed suicide despite having 30 pieces of silver with him. Sometimes its not about poverty or failure is about life span, how many years a person is destined to stay on earth.
2637  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Forged or empty WIFs (paper wallets) - do not waste your time on: November 07, 2022, 12:31:23 PM
I have seen similar services on a cracking forum where a certain address containing 50btc or more but dormant is sold without a private key and the buyer is expected to crack into the account by different means to get the money. Even, people fall for big offers with narrow retrieval process. This type of scam looks real and victims can easily be convinced to buy at a cheaper rate, without sitting back to think why this seller didn't retrieve the paper wallet himself is he not in need of the money? Just like people that sell a course that'll teach people to earn 10k dollars a week for $100, and greedy people rush to buy. The internet or cryptocurrency market don't favor the greedy people as they'll always fall for, buy 1 btc to get 10 btc, scam. Thank you for exposing these pictures, more are still in circulation you can update the thread too when you have other forged pictures to save members.

Beginners and help is the right section to share such information for both newbies and other members to learn and further share ideas. However, if the post is technically focused then the Dev and tech section is also another good section for that. In the beginners section keep the terms and thread simple to understand. You can use tech jargon on the Dev section, they're a lot of tech savvy members in that section.

Blogs, books and videos are efficient for learning the tech aspect or difficult parts of Bitcoin. Reading and researching while creating threads to back up your knowledge, works well for anybody. It's difficult sometimes to forget threads you made yourself. The knowledge always sticks to the brain. Two hours everyday is enough to learn huge information on Bitcoin.
2640  Economy / Economics / Re: This level is a good springboard for BTC in November on: November 05, 2022, 09:08:14 PM
Let's hope for the opposite of 22nd December 2017 price plunge to happen this year. But, the trend is almost similar to that incident when bitcoin fell from 20k (ATh) to 11k. Though its unlikely to happen now for a currency that had an all time high of 60k last year. Bitcoin is expected to repeat the 2021 January price spike at-least to 25-30k before taking off again to 40k. Remember the world cup is here and they'll be an increase in bitcoin transactions travel agents, hotels, bars and stores will transact using bitcoin to ease foreign exchange barriers. And crypto brand like crypto.com is a sponsor of the 2022 world cup. So, they'll be a positive change in the price of bitcoin before the game ends.
