A slave is only a slave in his mind. The freedom of a slave begins when he stops to see himself as a slave. You could take the chains off him and set him free but he remains a slave because it has become his identity. He knows how to be nothing else. This is same for people who are stuck on traditional currencies, they don't want to open their mind to Bitcoin or any crypto currencies because they remain slaves to the old master.
Bitcoin offers freedom to the masses. We are modern slaves to the government and the banks. One spends years working one's back off to pay mortgage to the bank. I truly understood the power of money when I learned about bitcoin. During war, countries would first of all block the trading routes of their enemy in order to weaken their economy and starve them. Money can liberate and enslave

Plagiarism is easy. Lazy people like taking the easy route. They see a article with good material that might help them get some merits and boom! Copy and paste. There may be a little paraphrasing here and there to make the work look original. Copying someone's work without citing a reference to the original poster is a slap to the face.

Money! Money! Money! That's all newbies (or alts who claim to be newbies) are concerned about these days. Even when a campaign is reported as fraudulent, members continue to apply and promote the campaign. These are the future legendary members we are going to have in the years to come. I know its incredible and rare to get paid for what you post but if there was no signature campaign or bounties involved, would you still be in this forum? If your answer is a yes then its not really a big deal whether you're limited to lesser campaign opportunities as a junior member.

We live in an age where everything is digital, our kids are always on their phones 24/7, the internet is now the real world. Social media has a strong impact in influencing decisions, through advertising. YouTube has been used a lot in the past to promote pump and dump schemes. I think social media has done more harm than good in crypto space, every social media platform is owned by someone. That "someone" influences the propaganda of the platform and everything that's against the ideas of the owner is censored. Censorship is one of the problem of social media. It kills freedom of speech recently Tiktok banned crypto ads. This shows how social media is manipulative.

Congratulations Mpamaegbu you deserve it! Your African proverbs thread is one I always love to visit. You have designed a niche for yourself in the Nigerian community and we appreciate you. Now you have to defeat the next giant that on your way.

 Nigerian government will always try to frustrate legitimate business. We wake up every morning to one bad news or the other. On the brighter side this will push people to embrace crypto. The value of naira is depreciating everyday. We might get to 560/$ at this rate. Save your money in stable coins. |

You should leave a comment on their review thread . It's very disappointing that some of us have overlooked the scam accusations of 1xbit and are still promoting the platform. Giving fake reviews so they can earn more money from the campaign. The 1xbit campaigners are very vocal and committed for some reason the red trust doesn't matter to them. |

this is must be like a glitch from binance . these kinds are used to liquidate traders, have seen scenarios like this from bitmex where traders were also liquidated with this kind of wickshunting. this might seem like a copy strategy from bitmex, who knows.
I experienced those a lot from Bitmex. Bitmex imho is one of the most unreliable exchanges in the crypto space. |

 Bitcoin got to $48,000 on the futures market and yet my sellborder at $40,000 wasn't triggered. I wonder how this happened without my sell order closing? Is Binance trying to manipulate the market because I'm sick of exchanges trying to liquidate traders |

Bitcoin is real till it has this wide range of support from the big tech giants and government. Once their agenda changes, the value will go down swiftly
I don't quite understand what you are saying. What support from big tech giants are you talking about? MicroStrategy or other institutions buying Bitcoins for reserve isn't exactly supporting. JP Morgan called Bitcoin a scam but is now making bitcoin investment for their clients. Don't even get me started on pump and dump Elon Musk. El Salvador is the only government I know that has publicly endorsed Bitcoin. I'm really confused with your comment. Are you saying if Bitcoin gets mass adoption it can then be manipulated to price zero? |

I was bit surprised to see that there was no mention of 'community managers', projects keep coming everyday and they all need CMs in their channels.
Yes you're right. I wasn't exposed to those opportunities at the time. There is a lot of that on service board, this goes to show how broad and diverse the crypto space is. Some folks are experts on collecting airdrops they never miss out on any of it |

Running? I cut my loses when a trade goes sideways, there is nothing shameful in closing a bad trade it's better to cut your loses than to be brave till it comes worse and you get liquidated. Losing is part of trading as much as winning even the best of us lose. Even if they don't brag about, most successful traders have bad trades but that doesn't stop them from trading

It is not intentional when a post stated "I've read somewhere about ____ and _____ about ____ when that user knows that it is not his/her content in the first place unless he/she will provide the link where he/she read that content from and it won't be a plagiarism as result.
Hmmm it still is. It is possible the user " forgot" to cite the source or didn't remember the exact source they got the in formation. But that will be for the moderators to decide. |

Being rich is relative. You can have a certain amount of money and be "rich" in one part of the continent and poor in another. Its better to accumulate wealth in the long run so you don't have to worry about a retirement fund. Rich is when you don't have get up in the morning to a job you hate because it pays the bills. Stability and comfort is what rich means to me

Recently made a similar post about plagiarism. It is still an ongoing discussion and one I doubt will end soon. The forum doesn't take kindly to plagiarism. If you go to LoyceV's thread. you will find dozens of accounts reported for plagiarism some new some old. Turns out that even if you are Legendary you could get banned for plagiarism you did as a newbie. Personally I think a first time offender should be given the benefit of a doubt...a warning maybe. That way if the user plagiarises for the second time then he should be banned. |

this post motivating my self to became like you..
I think some (new) users are getting the whole purpose of this thread all wrong, your 'goal' should not be to be like filliponne, but rather in developing sufficient Bitcoin and cyrpto knowledge (like he did), cause thats the only reason why filliponne is where he is in the forum at the moment, the 'goal' isn't solely merit earning, but quality forum contributions that will continually earn you merits effortlessly. Having said that, aspiring to be like filliponne isn't bad at all, but it doesn't just stop in "I'd like to be like you', you'll have to actually work towards it by showing your contributions on the forum are worth the appreciation of others, if you're unwilling to make the required effort or you're are in the network and forum to basically 'get rich quick', then there's no need for all these aspirations, cause they'll sadly not be achieved. I think it is good newbies have someone to look up to. Filliponne sets a good model for newcomers, they don't have to see merits as something huge. I have people I study on the forum, how they communicate and their post delivery. This helps guide to differentiate between trash and good material. What I'm concerned about is them ending up as cheap imitation of filliponne and not growing into being the best version of themselves. |
