What? Theymos is only 27?! That's not what I'm expected. For me he is too young and smart to become an administrator here in the forum that's why I thought he was in the mid thirties.

Anyway, Happy birthday to you theymos. Thank you for being a good leader, long live and wishing you all the best .

Your question is not specific. What do you really mean by "consuming energy", electrical energy or in a sense of efforts on transacting? If what you meant is the latter part (nasagot na kasi ng iba about sa electrical consumption eh) then definitely mas convenient gamitin ang btc as a form of payment because its fast and reliable, all you just need is internet connection and you are ready to go . In my experience, I can buy a load without even going outside, you can also use it for paying different kinds of bills.

(But kung wala kang internet and pc/smartphone which is a basic requirement to access crypto then mataas ang chance na taliwas ka sa opinion ko)

Hmm so the technical analysis you saw tells us that btc will reach $9k if it pumps and $5.3k if it drops, honestly I don't think it will not happen because +3k within half a month was so ideal for me knowing the fact that btc is not in a good condition these days (it has no momentum of soaring high). On the other hand, I don't think it will have -900 also maybe it will just reach $6.2k by the end of the month if the situation gets even worse. (Just my own opinion)

I thought I'm the only one noticing this thing. On the past few days that btc is dropping down, tether remains green which I (maybe you also) expected to be not because it's now normal to the market that altcoin drops too as btc drops. Another strange thing that I observed is that when I looked on the top 100 coins in the market (sorry I forgot the time and date) why tether is the only coin that goes up; I swear, even me don't believe what am I looking at but it's true.

It seems Tether is a good coin for long term investors, what do you think .

Yeah! I agree with you. Almost all of the coins in the market are dropping down, this is definitely a bad sign for all of us yet we don't have any choice but to adapt.

Just a friendly advice for everyone, you should first ask yourself if you can really withstand further dips because this means that you may lose some money also. If you can't then dump it now instead of experiencing further stress and frustrations. For those hodling (like me), may the odds be with us .

I really do believe in btc but I can't control myself not to worry a little bit due to this dip (I think that's normal) because as we can see the situation is getting worse as time goes by. This bearish days are very stressful for me, I get frustrated everytime I see the graph and my savings dropping down . Nevertheless, I still want to hold my coins not only because it is the best option for now but also because I believe that it will survive.

Actually this is an additional knowledge for us and maybe we can apply this skill for future use, who knows? But it's your own opinion so I respect it if you don't care too much about this stuff .
I don't think so, as far as I know not all campaign managers don't know how to create a signature for their clients. Probably a particular ICO already have a signature before passing it into the campaign manager or they buy from people who provides this kind of service (like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2363907.0), I'm not so sure anyway.


@OP ~ I really want to learn this so thanks for a short and yet informative tutorial, I'll definitely use this as my reference to my study. i hope next time you will include tutorials abaout creating moving logos on the signature or changing of colors when pointed by the cursor or a signature that will direct to the website if clicked. Great job!

They are somehow right. Maaring tumaas pa lalo ang presyo ni btc if mameet nya na yung market cap nya. A simple Supply and Demand can explain that; since nameet na ni btc total supply nya, natural mas tataas ang price nito dahil sa high demand. Let's make it simple, mas mahal ang bottle of water sa disyerto compare to a place where there's a river assuming potable ito (get it? ).

On the other side, maaring iba din ang mangyari. That time may tendency na maungusan si btc ng iba pang coins (probably eth because it is in the 2nd spot) at dahil doon eh baka mawalan ng interes ang tao sa dito kasi di na sya 1st and switch into that new coin who will sit in the throne.  

Yeah, Me too. At first, my purpose of investing into crypto is just purely because of money. I want to harness its fluctuations to create profits nothing more nothing less. But as time goes by, I realized that what I'm doing is actually fun and meaningful at the same time. At a slow phase I learned how to enjoy everything here in crypto world; being here in the forum with all the knowledge I gained here, I get hyped now when there's happening in the market which may be favorable on me and I get inspired when there is always a good news or any advancements of crypto. To sum up, crypto change my life (in a good way of course) and it is now part of me .

I wonder when is that "Future" you are pertaining about . Because if your perspective is only for the next couple of years or even decades then your presumptions has a big chance that will not yet happen. Many things hinder this in becoming a reality like technology gap between nations, opposition parties against blockchain technology and of course poverty. Therefore, for me this set up was ideal but yet saying "impossible" is still inappropriate.

No one knows if the market will recover sooner or later so if your patience will just now last for 15 days then go ahead if that is what you can afford ~ wait for 15 days. But remember, don't expect too much; you should still keep in mind the tendency that you might lose more within that period of time so brace yourself. Are you still willing to risk what's left in you? Your choice.

Ngayon mas narealize ko na sobrang laganap pala ng remittance centers sa bansa natin kasi imagine mo na sa Cebu pala eh sometimes every 10 meters ang pagitan ng bawat isa . Kaya di na nakapagtataka kung nauungusan na ng mga ito ang mga bangko sa ating bansa kasi sila ay mas "maka-masa" ika nga.

Magki-click naman sa tao ang pagiging ethereum-supported ng Unionbank pero sa tingin ko eh di masyado kasi mas prefer pa rin ng karamihan (especially yung may kaya lang na mga tao) ang remittance centers and besides ang coins.ph eh may remittance partners din. Therefore, mas lamang talaga ang remittance centers compare to banks in terms of convenience.

Durability? If you mean the ability to stay grow in the market then not all cryptocurrency has a durability particularly to those who belong on the bottom part of the list having only small holders. So if you are going to choose a coin then much better if you'll choose among the top 10.
Of course, crypto always gives a chance to make you a millionaire but just to be clear, it is only a chance.  Meaning, there is no 100% assurance that it will be favoravle on your side, you should also consider that you may face bankruptcy assuming the worst case scenario.

What, more than 2 years at least?! This speculation is so insane.

There's really a chance for btc to pump up by that time but saying that nothing good will happen within that period of time then I do not believe in you. I mean, the probability that only bearish trend will exist within that time is so small because the lines on the market chart are naturally fluctuating from time to time so it seems impossible that it will wait very long time just to soar high.

I'm so sorry sir, I already think of that to be honest. I just came to that idea maybe because I'm frustrated on finding solutions for what's happening right now. Maybe I'm just panicking since merit system is although working but seems not strong enough (just my opinion) because shitposters/spammers can still be able to their stuffs and only permabanned from the mods can stop them. Don't get me wrong, I'm just considering the sake of our mods because I'm sure they get tired of banning those bad posters. Once again, I'm sorry.

That's what I am thinking right now. If 1 account = 1 person system is the most feasible way to eradicate spamming and shittyposting then I agree with you that it is very hard to implement. Making fake accounts or even identities is now easy with the kind of technology we had right now that's why making a gateway in making alt accounts here is not impossible anymore. Another, IMO bitcointalk is not too strict when it comes to new member applications, I mean even though there is a rule stating that creating an alt account is wrong, it still remains a word — don't have enough power to enforce what being said. That's why the "suspect" (creator of alt account) still don't care and comfortable to insist doing such act because nothing bad will happen on him (he will not be punished or able to be blacklisted here personally).

What if every account registrations here requires basic personal information like real name, age, birthday with verification system like presenting a government issued ID. I know this sounds risky because you leak datas about yourself but this is the only thing I know to avoid having so many accounts with the same user. What do you think?

Honestly, I once don't believe by the first time I heard about signature campaign - where all you need to do is to keep posting here inside while having the ICO's logo. Seems not really helpful right? But it's NOT. This forum only seems not effective for advertising compare to TV & radio commercials, billboards or printed ads but in reality this is better than the others because of its huge population coming from different countries around the globe. We are now 2183431 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats) here in the forum and keep growing, imagine what would be the impact if all of those users see that ICO advertised through signature campaigns .

Some of the ICOs that run a camapign here and became successful (just my opinion) are Electroneum and Enigma.

It's not $6k, it's $6838.2 to be exact (at this moment). $800+ is still a long way to run but if ever btc reach $6k then that would be bad for hodlers but a good news for new investors. I hope we will not reach that point because it's very tiring to see the market red and and can't even reached the half of its ATH. It's already June yet we still don't see huge improvements, I don't know how long these bearish days will last .

Only if . Actually I get your point, you just don't want to have shitty/spammy posters here in the forum (I want the same also) but I think there's nothing wrong of giving second chances and I do believe that he already learned a lesson from this. It will be good if you will judge him based on his actions and not solely based on your intuitions.

I agree with you dude. I take a look on his history posts and it's so annoying that I scrolled down so many times first before reaching the bottom of the page (on page no. 2 to be specific) another thing is I saw nothing but bounty updates which makes me disappointed.

@OP - your post history stands as an evidence to prove you guilty for what rule you broke that's why it seems that it's now really impossible for you to have your account again. I feel sorry for you but you don't have any choice — make a brand new start.
