Oh, I do understand that concept very well. I also understand a few other concepts as well:

1. There's a big difference between "having" a gun, and "using" a gun.
2. In a country where almost anybody can "own and bear arms", so do most criminals, or criminal wannabes.
3. In a country that forbids guns, anybody who owns a gun is automatically a criminal. In the best of cases, that puts guns off the hands of the most violent members of society, or at least gives the police more tools to do their job.
4. There are over 180 countries in the world (yeah, big surprise: the US is not the only one) in which guns are either forbidden or otherwise regulated, and the US keep ranking higher in homicides and other crimes than most of them. Like it or not, numbers don't lie.

Now you're making drama. No country in the world (that I know of) denies its citizens the right to self protection. The difference is that in the US any tweaker can walk around armed to the teeth, and the law itself protects him, right until the moment he starts killing people.
Then again, nobody is talking about banning guns. Even most US states today only allow for concealed carry (which shows a lot more concern about "form" than "substance"). What some people are asking is that gun ownership be allowed for qualified individuals, pretty much the same as car driving. So far, despite all the drama and the cheap rhetoric, I haven't seen one valid argument against that.

I've been following it for some time.
Forget about the fact that Steve Wozniak has anything to do with it, I personally like the project very much, as I've been involved in the environmental cause for years, and seems not only worthy, but makes a lot of sense to me from a more practical point of view.
Yet the coin keeps finding new lows almost daily, and won't take off, or even catch any meaningful break.

Any opinions on it? Is it worth it, or it's just another useless shitcoin and should be avoided?

Than you all in advance. 

Well, I actually just heard about them on one of the courses I'm following on the computer, so I don't know the first thing about them.
Initially, it looks like a good way to make your coin known, but it's not a surprise that scammers and other criminals have noticed them. I guess (like with everything else) I'm gonna have to do a lot more research in the near future.

Thank you all for the replies. This gives me a lot to think about. 

Of course. That's why in the US there are NO CASES of rape, muggings or homicides, especially of girls and the elderly.
Sorry, you can use all the rhetoric you want, but reality doesn't help you.

Mine would be just me in a very remote, deserted, tropical island, with a lifetime supply of cheeses and coca-cola. 

So, what would be your point, other than your need to type endless posts?
Pfizer falsified data? Because a 2 week disgruntled former employee said so? Because the company would trust a new employee with sensitive information right from the moment she crosses the door?
MILLIONS of people have successfully been inoculated with the vaccine, and you don't see them dropping dead everywhere, do you? What is exactly your agenda?

Thanks for the replies.
Well, the thing is I am super careful, and I've been going crazy for the last 2 months trying to get even a single buck to start investing, so at this point my energies are running kinda low.
That, and I have a few bad experiences (like Binance lying shamelessly through their advertising, claiming they support ARS, which they don't) that also made my life a bit more difficult, so now airdrops are looking better by the minute.
I'm a Linux user, and very paranoid (you can say "careful"  ), so malware is not (much) a concern, and paying fees is just impossible for me, even if I wanted to.
In any case I hate going in blindly, which is why I'm asking. Thanks again.

So I searched the forum and online. The world seems to be divided (not surprisingly) between airdrops lovers and haters, and not much in terms of actual data a newbie can use.
Could anybody please help me out?
What are they?
Are they good? Are they bad? Are they worth it?

Any info (ANYTHING) will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance. 

Well, I don't know about justice, but there's clearly a huge amount of hate and ignorance going around. Maybe it's too hard to figure that, regardless of where we've been born or the color of our skin, we all belong to the same species?
I'm not an American. I lived in the US for more than a decade and loved it. Today, I wouldn't go back for the world.
I also lived in Spain and Perú (besides Argentina, my own country), and I can tell you, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Americans are by far the nicest people I've ever crossed paths with. And having lived in Miami I have known people from all over the world.
In fact, your statement above only shows you're an awful human being, it hardly makes a case for you.
There are mass shootings in the US kinda regularly, and in the best of cases it's a shame, as it is the fact that Americans seem to care more about their "toys" than about their countrymen, and keep making up excuses to defend their "right" to kill each other.
In any case, I find it more likely for Americans to learn (and accept) their mistake than for the likes of you to do the same.

Thank you all. That's definitely something to think about.
For some reason (my head works in weird ways, sometimes), since I learned about the chance of automating the rebalancing, I somehow "decided" that the whole thing could (and should) be made by a bot.
I guess I'm gonna have to do a lot more thinking, and a helluva lot more reading... 

I find it mystifying to see how much people care about the government, or about this or that becoming "mandatory".
Does anybody give any thought to the fact that you might DIE from covid?
I have two dear friends who got covid. Husband and wife. Husband got it at work, and contagied her. Fortunately, they both survived it, but they both got sequels for the rest of their lives.
So, who cares what the government says? If they PROVIDE the vaccine, I will provide my arm. And no "rebellious" BS  or stupid conspiracy theory will change that.
Despite what all the "Internet Infectologists" keep saying, I have already gotten both doses of the vaccine, and I'm still very much alive and kicking. So I rather trust the real experts.

Thank you, that's something I hadn't thought of. Most people give advise based on their personal experience.
That could also make a case for not having all your investment riding on one single strategy, or having different accounts with different currencies, following different strategies.
I gotta do some thinking...

Ok, yeah, I'm as new as anybody can be.
The fact is, I keep reading everybody treating investing and trading as two different worlds.
Now, the more I read about it, the more I think both investing and trading techniques could be used together to optimize returns. I have asked about it before, and was told it'd be terribly difficult to implement both at the same time. But, for what I see (yeah, I understand I probably don't know the half of it), implementing a strategy combining techniques from both shouldn't be that hard, and the difference in terms of both increased returns and minimized risks could be important.

For example: when it comes to rebalancing, using some trading techniques would help you avoid buying and/or selling at the wrong time which is a very real possibility if you rebalance using time or margin alone.

Then I keep having the suspicion I'm missing something.
Am I?

Thank you all in advance. 

I think it's a great move, but I also think you guys may be reading too much into it.
The guy is talking about allowing TOURISTS to buy using cryptocurrencies without paying taxes. Nobody's talking (at least in that article) about Thailand not taxing cryptocurrency gains, or about buying or building houses. The decision is just a measure to promote tourism. Of course it's positive, but it's a far cry from allowing everybody to avoid taxes on cryptocurrency.

Either way, it'd be a great thing if more countries followed suit. It's a start. Kudos to the Thai government for it.

Being a newbie myself (I haven't started yet, so you could say I'm not even that), I couldn't agree more.
I've been researching, reading everything I can come up with, followed 5 different Udemy courses on cryptocurrency investing and trading, and doing anything I can do to be as self reliant as I possibly can.
One thing I would add  is: don't stop at one source. Get a second opinion, and a third, etc. It's your money, you gotta take care of it.

A couple of months ago, a former coworker of mine introduced me to crypto. He showed me a $1156 balance, on a $60 investment he had made a month earlier. Almost a 2000% profit in a month. That definitely got me interested, so I started digging.
Ever since, he got a hard-on for copy-trading, and thanks to that he's now down to $500. And no matter how many times I tell him to stop that crap, he's still happy because, in his view, "he's still making money". 
Keep in mind the minimum wage in Argentina is about $400, so he would've made a bigger profit if he got the crappiest available job out there.

Some people just won't listen, they think they know better than anybody. All you can do is watch them go down with their ego... 

Oh, no! Not at all. You should, however, obediently trust all the BS the NRA and breitbart choose to feed you, god forbid anybody would actually think you may have a brain, after all.
But, BTW, is that the best you can do? there are about 180 countries in the world, and all you can do is come up with 3 totalitarian countries (2 of them lead by fanatics) to prove your point?
Here. I'll provide you a list of countries where guns are forbidden or otherwise regulated. Take your pick: Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Germany, Finland, UK, Poland, Czech Republic, Japan, Greenland, Ireland, France, Spain, Greece, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Portugal, Uruguay, Turkey, Ecuador, Argentina, and a LOOOOONG list of countries. You're welcome.



Sorry, I don't do conspiracy BS. If you have any proof whatsoever to substantiate your claims, show it. Otherwise, be as responsible as you claim to be, and stay silent.
In any case, it doesn't make a difference who provided the rifle. The fact that the law ALLOWED a lunatic to possess a rifle provided by anybody is the real problem here. Following your same line of thought, if a cop sees somebody carrying a rifle in one of the countries where they're regulated, it'd be his prerogative, and in fact HIS DUTY, to inquire about the legality of his situation, and eventually make an arrest. Meaning, in case you keep choosing to ignore reality, that Kennedy would probably have SURVIVED that day (your "deep state" BS notwithstanding).
By the way, YOUR PRESIDENT was killed in a country where everybody is "allowed to defend themselves". What happened? Didn't he have a right to "own and bear arms"? Why couldn't he "defend himself"?



Again, is that the best you can do? Show us ONE country, out of the list I provided above, that's being run by a tyrant. Just one.

Here's a bit of a statistic for you: Today, out of about 180 countries in the planet, there are TWO (Yemen and the US) that allow unrestricted access to firearms to their citizens. Yemen is in the middle of a civil war, and the US has the HIGHEST RATES OF FIREARM RELATED MURDERS OF ANY DEVELOPED COUNTRIES, by more than 3 times (in the case of homicides) and almost twice (in the case of suicides), to Finland, that's in second place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate

By the way, my source is Wikipedia. Not as reliable as breitbart, I know, but I do what I can...

Here's my theory: human beings are one people.

Based on all available science today, ALL humans on Earth belong to the same species (Homo Sapiens, although the "Sapiens" part could be debated), we all share a common ancestor, we all share the same genetic  information, and yada, yada, yada.

So, there. Where should I go to claim my Nobel price?

FatFork If you have a look in the Development and Technical Discussion board, you will see PLENTY of threads that have absolutely nothing to do with the development of bitcoin, or even to bitcoin.
Then again, I never complained about my thread being deleted. I said a heads up would've been nice.

jackg Yeah, it could've been moved. Whatever, it's not a big deal anyway.
My point is, if you want to automate rebalancing, you can easily set up a robot and follow a more carefully planned strategy. Blindly rebalancing based only on time seems kinda dangerous.

It's a well known fact that criminals are everywhere, and they have no respect for the law. That's why they're criminals.
The difference is in a country that forbids its citizens to carry, ANYBODY packing is automatically breaking the law, which makes the cops' job a lot easier. In most of the US, they become criminals once they start shooting. THAT's my theory. YOUR OWN PRESIDENT (JFK) was slaughtered by an otherwise law  abiding citizen who "just happened" to be carrying a rifle nearby. Yet you guys don't learn.
Then again, AFAIK, nobody has ever talked about banning guns in the US. All that's being proposed is to run background checks on future gun owners, to decide if they're qualified to own a firearm. The US is the only country in the world that defends lunatics' right to kill its people.  

Development and technical discussion.


Yeah, that's the thing. Which makes it all the more important to limit the rebalancing steps, not to mention rebalancing's inherent shortcomings (or potential shortcomings), which makes a bit too dangerous (in my opinion) to just automate the process on a pure time basis. My point is it may be better not only to combine both, but to add other safeguards (be it the ones I listed or some I surely missed), in order to minimize risk and/or maximize profit.
The point is a website that offer automated rebalancing on a time basis only seems a bit dangerous to me...
