I was here that Russia didn't yet legalize bitcoin from this perspective. So I was amazed by this topic now, If Russia will allow football fans and people using their bitcoin for accommodation, it will be a very good thing for a lot of people which have crypto, they can make their life easier there. I hope this news is true and people can spend their bitcoin there without any problems.

That's true, The legalize or illegalize of bitcoin depend on the country rules, so now, you can see that they're only few countries legalize bitcoin officially, I said officially because there is some countries, which people didn't know yet if the bitcoin is legal or not. I think the reasons of Illegalize this crypto, because of the high potential of it or maybe because the high volatility of the price.

I hope that what you said is true. I have been waiting for this bounce of price for 2 weeks or more. I think if the price will achieve again the 10k$, then bitcoin will go much higher, but when? Nowadays a lot of media are already banned crypto, but I still have the faith on bitcoin, and I believe that it can increase higher soon.

Wow, this is such a good news to hear for Canadians people. Now they can use bitcoin to buy from Newegg. ca without any issues. I hope that my country will create a good site like Newegg to allow us to buy using our bitcoins, As there is a lot of problems with visa cards loaded with cryptos, people can't use their bitcoin to buy what they want from the internet.

I had such this experience in a few months ago, I invested in a cloud mining both in the telegram, It was like to collect some diamond every period and then awarded to btc every day. From the beginning, it worked very well, and I got my payment each 3 days, as I invested there with low amounts, but after 2 months this bot will stop making payments. At least I recover my investment and earn some profit before the scam day.

I already saw few members here are already run up after the release of the merit system due to their daily constructive posts. I think if anyone here continues to write good posts day by day, he can rank up sooner. A lot of high ranked members and merit sources can do this job for everyone who make some useful posts or my informative to help people. So as long as you write good posts, you can reach the next rank more sooner.

I agree with you, This is very good to grow up our community, sharing knowledge in the bitcointalk forum is one of the best things that people can do. Personally, I found a lot of information here, that I never found it in any other site on the internet. If I don't know anything, I got a quick useful reply from a lot of people, which it will be a very good forum to be on it.

I think first, you should improve more your posts quality to gain some merit points, and they I think you can answer your question and know if the merit system really make the difference in this forum or not. I think a lot of members with lower ranks will stuck a long time to reach next rank, because they can't make any constructive posts because they are too poor in English.

Of course, Buying bitcoin is not an investment. People can buy bitcoin to use it to buy something that can bought only with bitcoin, I mean here "Darknet marketplaces" which only cryptocurrencies was allowed there. Investing is mean if you bought some bitcoin, it should be kept in your wallet until the price will increase highly so you can make a huge profit. I think if you want to make an income in bitcoin, then you are interested in bitcoin's price, so if you the price will increase your income will increase too.

This fall of bitcoin's price considered as a very good opportunity for investors to buy a lot of bitcoins! I am sure, that the price it will recover soon as many members here and outside bitcointalk will invest and buy bitcoin with a low price. The most important thing is to not panic and think that bitcoin will die, it's just the calm before the storm.

That's absolutely right, we cannot compare cryptocurrencies and exchanges. As you said, cryptocurrencies can't be hacked, as it's not a thing that can be hacked, it uses the block chain technology, which it's impossible for anyone to hack it, but there are some people who are already hacked, because of their stupidity, they are not using carefully their wallets.

That's true, posting useful information and help others it will be a good thing that will awarded by merit points. I am thinking also if anyone continues to post great contents and to be more involved in this forum, he will be more seen and got more intentions by other members, then he can got a good amount of merit as he will be known as long as he write great posts.

This is a good news about the cryptocurrency exchange, I always hear that Japan support too much cryptocurrencies and especially bitcoin. It's really a great country which think about the future, to be more specific about money development. I am very amazed about that and I hope more countries will start to support crytpo this year, that will help Bitcoin and other altcoins to grow more.

I agree with you, Good gambler is always good to control himself whatever the situation, sometimes he was make a decision in the right moment and it will refer a big win. Good players are not greedy, they have goals to follow, they know their limits everyday. Smart Gambler can make a huge amount of money if they choose the right time to make a bet, I talk about live games, not dice which depends only in pure luck.

Thanks for posting this good guide, I know a lot of my friends are gamblers, they are always searching for some applications or some site that give them free tips on sports betting and sometimes it's premium, They are not smart enough to know that the seller is just a scam. I always tell them, there is no fixed match or anything like that. Every gambler should refer to a lot of tipster sites and use your brain to choose and don't follow anyone.

All traders are faced with some losses when they invest in trading. That's right, it's a great field to make a huge profit, but we should be careful and invest in the right coins. Personally, I believe that trading is the best field of making money as long as you are not greedy and have a minimal knowledge about cryptocurrencies, the most important thing is to believe in your decisions after thinking about it and to be patient.

Freezing tokens in a few months after ICO period, it will be good to governorate the price of the crypt. This way is good to help the token price increase, but some investors will think that this ICO is a scam, as the price is not moving (Increase/decrease), Personally, I don't know a lot of about ICO, but I think if we read the white paper and check the Team of this project, we can know more about it, and then we can have a good idea if the ico will fail or succeed in the future.

Not too sad, at least you already made a x2 profit from this crypto. I don't think it's a mistake to make a profit. , Personally, I think my biggest mistake is to buy a lot of XRP (ripples) when the price is 1.4$, Till now, they are in my wallet, the price is too low, and I hope it will pump again. I think, it was better if I exchanged them when the xrp price is around 3.7$, but I choose to keep them hoping for the price will increase.

That's true, Ethereum is a very strong coin, I am sure that if one day bitcoin will die, then ETH will be the best replacement for bitcoin. A lot of people nowadays use it, as you said, it was used as the base of a lot of projects. In addition, I feel that the best investment in ETH is now, as the price is around 500-600$, To not say I am sure, I think the eth price will increase x2 in a few weeks later, so keep your ETH.

I think this is a good idea to create a new child board for merit talk, as I see daily posts about merit system. Meta section are already having a lot of topics about people asking about the merits. I think it will be more better if theymos create a new board about that or to just create only one topic, which we can discuss there everything about this system, we don't need to make the meta full with these threads.
