Have you sent an email to the address provided in the ban message? That's one of the quickest ways to alert the mods to your case along with an appeal thread like this one.

I've noticed you around the forum and while you post with a lot of copy pasted works, you didn't seem to  do it with malicious intent and was not on a signature, IIRC. It's up to the mods to decide whether to unban you account.

As you said, a spam buster mostly works behind the scenes reporting posts to the mods for them to take action, while in cheating they would need to publicly post for the campaign manager to become aware; So you cannot notice which members of the forum are more involved in.

• I do not think anyone would get merits simply cause of the work they do in the forum, Sure you can get a couple but as a strategy to rank up, you would still need to be a decent poster.
• That's why theymos suggested the reporter badges and posted the top reporters over the last year; to recognize those who work to keep the forum clean, they also have the opportunity to be appointed as moderators.

Gold is less volatile that cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and the latter would likely get more popularity and interest, considering how many people have gotten rich through it further rasing the price

Market cap is a metric that can be easily manipulated and is not really a better way to compare different currencies. Market cap is based on the price (most recent sell price) and the supply.
• A project developer can buy their currency for an inlfated amount after pumping out a massive supply, which would significantly affect the market cap and draw investors, even there is no interest from investors.

Fiat is already an abode for scammers, with banks also being indicted in huge scam attempts, so should they really be relied on for full transparency? Bitcoin doesn't create a problem, there is already an existing one with scams.

1. If your asking whether Bitcoin has a transaction limit to reduce money laundering attempts, No, there is none. It's decentralized and operates without a third party, nodes only need to verify that you own the bitcoins you are sending.

2. How were scammers hiding their loot 13 or so years ago before Bitcoin? As I said earlier, Bitcoin does not create a problem, scam has operated for several years on fiat currencies.

But wouldn't it still be a bull market period if the price is progressively going upwards over a long period of time with only intermittent drops here and there, followed by quick recoveries?

A lot of people would say we've been in a bull market since late 2020 when the price first stated rising up till this point; That's the same way a bear market would be an extended period of downward prices or little price movements, just as we had from 2018-2020, even though there were intermittent upward spikes, followed by dips.

6 figures is about a 55% increase from the current price, which is very possible with the next 6 months to a year. Over the past six months the price has grown over 100% after the dip from $60k, making 50% very realistic.

I wouldn't necessarily say they were replaced, they were rather joined by higher net worth individuals and companies looking to get exposure into Bitcoin. Early birds drove the price from nothing to as high as $20k before it became a serious topic at board meetings

Do not rely on centralized third parties to mediate transactions
Some are more legitimate than others, but they all can lock up your funds and require you to prove to then why it should be returned. Doxxing yourself on so many websites also eliminates your privacy and pseudo anonymity. Most traders sign up to multiple platforms and undergo KYC, and they sometimes even forget where their private documents could be.
There's also the risk of hacks where you can lose your funds or your details gets stolen and used for illegal activities.

Most probably is not, what you see on the exchange would be just a written balance, not your actual funds

The video posted above by coupable contains lots of relevant information on what updates should be expected besides the change of the brand name.

The change affects the brand name and not the individual companies under the brand. Facebook.ink includes WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and these would stay the same, while the brand name of all of them is what changes.

Yes, the country banned banks from engaging in Bitcoin transactions and thinks that by creating an alternative, users would drop the other and use theirs or it could be a justification that the citizens were given an alternative, regardless of the exact reason it is not one which is of any benefit to the country as it functions no different from our actual fiat currency.

Most Nigerians aren't excited about using them.

Identity theft is just one of the problems. The government agencies having full access to your transactions takes away pseudo anonymity, which is one of the qualities of Bitcoin.

How does KYC provide security to a database or protect an establishment? It just benefits the government who impose the regulations on centralized agencies. There are Dexes which function without the need for personal information of its users without security issues.
A perfect balance would be to use KYC for regulated currencies and none for cryptocurrencies.

Mods handle a lot of reports and cases, so they may understandably miss a bit of info or two in the process of carrying out their duty.
When you also consider that quotes doesn't have to be fron the same thread the reply is made, it's much easier to merge them and very little harm is done.

There is nothing to suggest now that cryptocurrency would be the end of banks or fiat currencies, it is yet a novel currency which cannot sustain an economy on its own as the staple means of transaction and it cannot be used under the current system of government run by most all countries, except it can fully regulate it.

Mainstream adoption is definitely possible within this decade or the next, but the cost of it could potentially change the way most people view cryptocurrencies.
When banks adopt then, it cannot fully function as a decentralized network and users would need to submit KYC and AML documents to the central bank, basically making the network centralized.

If the posts are just excerpts from the article, then the posts are in the wrong section and should have rather been in the Press board, although it could still be spam there as it's only for notable press hits. Spamming the forum for engagements doesn't contribute to the community.

Reporting their posts with a note to the mods to have a look at their post history is the best action imo.

You do not have to evaluate all the projects. That's a mistake investors make; trying to get their hands on everything cause they feel anyone could be the one. Knowing what a project could turn out to be retrospectively is almost impossible, but evaluating how an existing one has been run over the years is more realistic.

There are multiple projects that have been around for a number of years, out of these you can look for the features you expect or wish for in a cryptocurrency and buy that one. I'll give you a hint: BTC

Can't find the replies now, but mods have said that multiple reports are all marked good if one of them is marked good. More often than not, more than one user would report a particular error, and it would make sense to mark all as good if it's a good report.

In the case of a report being marked bad, while the reply was deleted;.
It could be different mods acting on different reports or the post was removed (by a mod who saw it on the thread or the user themselves) before your report was seen, or that you made a duplicate report.

You could probably view this as a learning situation or other newbies can learn from it;
Investment is not a way to grow cash quickly, especially if the amount you're investing is not spare cash. You only imvest a percentage of your earnings after taking off the parts you use and save.
Joining a shady platform desperately, to earn money is a surefire way to get scammed.

If your story is true, then it's a tight situation you're in, you can try to get the attention of donation organizations in your country that can verify the facts. Expecting help from random strangers should not be expected, as they would not want to get scammed either.

Bitcoin is a currency built on a novel or even a futuristic technology, which has lots of utilities and features that makes it stand out, beyond these however, it doesn't do much.
Bitcoin is what the holder deems it to be, either a speculative asset, hedge fund etc, it could also build investment skills and connect investors, but we should not generalize this as a feature.

• I do not see the correlation between Bitcoin and tribalism
• Bitcoin has surely added some qualities to holders who survive bear markets on investments, but this does not mean it builds courage,
• Not nearly as much as the internet or social media
• A lot of investors have panicked sold and lost amounts they put in.

If you want to add a new information to a thread, it doesn't have to include the word 'bump', you could use update, alert or any other phrase to indicate it's an important information. Not every new reply should be a bump, this way you do not have to delete your previous replies when making a new one. This is one of the reasons users reserve a few replies after the OP to add new information.

---

Also, bumps are limited to every 24 hours, but you do not have to cut it clean, ideally only bump when necessary, or it could seem like you're trying to force engagements.

Most likely that. The unhandled reports does not yet count on either side and doesn't affect the overall percentage until the mods take an action. If you do remove those figures, the good and bad reports would be at s ratio of 99.12/0.88$, without rounding up that would result in percentage of 100%.

A meme tweet which was most likely copied from some other user or platform shouldn't really matter enough to deserve a thread here in the forum or 20+ replies on it.
Bitcoin does not care what Elon does, it's the holders that do and gives the influence they appear to have on the price. When everyone stops caring about top personalities' opinion, the market would have entered a different phase.
