poloniex of course.

that's been bought out by circle who have goldman sachs backing, among many others, plus the SEC okayed the sale.

the one and only that work for me is cryptopay.me (from my experience), but currently they disable new card order and deactivated all card because got some problem and need wait them to fix that issue.

I'll do my best to keep the list updated and follow the news, I was planning to make a list as personal reference, but then thought of sharing it with the community.

To recognize scam, do not be in a hurry to invest, Be patient enough to do you research about the project, check through several ICO review spreadsheet, check trhough about what the project is all about, details about the team and there past track record. Check through there social media platform and observe comment from investors. Do not invest base on followers on social media platform, invest because you have done your detailed research.

Bitcoin is not my main source of income, it only gives me an extra income. It have permanent job that support my family's daily basic needs. Profits I gained from bitcoin is for other expenses and savings for my children's future.

The merit system cannot stop people who post shit but of course this new system are limiting them to rank higher so they cannot join campaign and no increase in the payout. Basically if all campaign required merit system, its hard now to be part of it. Time will come, and those shitposter will make a lot of effort just to have merit in order for them to survive.

For sure investing into cryptos is still a good ideea as long as you know in what are you investing and you can have patience long enough to see the project to succed. If you follow this simply steps then for sure you will have good rewards.

Sucide aren't much as op mentioned the issue is only addiction they keep on borrowing and finally they spend rest of their life repaying all the debts and unfortunately even their family has to suffer , quiting gambling isn't hard it's all about forgetting the past and having self control it's easy to say but unless there isn't any initiative from our side change can't take place

In my opinion planetwin365 is the best. In this gambling site, everything is clear and good. All possible choices exist there. ALso, there is also a bonus gain depending on the money value that you did bet and how much risk is in your bet. Try it , you won't regret

Yes it is, I know a few people who suffer for it, and it hurts not only the one who gamble but their entire family.

I know signature campagns exists on this forum for very log time . I was wondering , do they really help to promote ICO , i know they spend a lot of money to pay bitcointalk members to wear their singatures and make posts . Do they really make profit out of this ?

of course, with a large budget, you can prepare some things for marketing and can make the idea that "ordinary" to "extraordinary" because it has a good preparation

The real question is why ?, the whole ida behiend using the blockchain netowrk is that every transactions is veriefied and made public, it is how the system works, while the transaction information are public, the users are still anonymous because they are hidden behiend their bitcoin address and not their personal information, i don't think that anonymous addreess and transactions would exist because they would still need to be verified by miners.

Well no, the bitcoin mining is always going to be profitable no matter what the price is , the block  mining time and the difficulty are always chaning in order to adapt to the number of miners that are mining bitcoin, so if the bitcoin price goes down so is the mining time so means it will cost less to mine bitcoin, so as long as there is electricity and pople trying to mine even with their GPU's there will always be profit from bitcoin mining.

for me except of being lack of knowledge most of the people now don't believe on virtual currency due to some fud's that always spreading negative news around the globe which is the common reason why the price is decreasing. Causes also why more people declined virtual currency nowadays.  

We are into gadgets, most of the people are addict on it.
We spent more of our vacant time facing our Cellphones and Ipads.

Playing games and downloading some apps on the store require payments, Is this the best time for those stores to open their payment method with cryptocurrency specially Bitcoin?

Like every parents want to leave something for children for their future.

Which investment is safe?

Bitcoin?
Stocks?
Real Estate?

It's too early to make this statement. What you've been seeing is the effect of having default sMerits in the accounts when the system was introduced. Once the decay of merit sets in and all the default merit is expired, it will become as difficult to rank up as the system intended. The spam posts will surely slow down even further than what we've seen. And before anyone says "It has been plenty of time since the system was introduced and it hasn't changed yet", there are still daily topics being started about merit, so there is still a large number of users who still don't know what the merit system is or that are not familiar with it.

Give it time, and you'll see that the system does what it is intended to do. It's just a matter of time before users realize that they cannot just farm alt accounts anymore for the sole purpose of joining bounty camps, and before the mass exodus of users who will start abandoning their accounts.

I could fill a whole section of the forum with users who do not qualify for a campaign but apply anyways. I could also fill another section with users who do not follow the rules of the campaigns most of the time.

What it all boils down to is basic ignorance and disregard for rules. Alot of these users see a campaign open and apply blindly. They don't read any rules or requirements at all. They were just told, by their friends, that they could earn money making posts here. Those types of users are the type of user this forum does not need.

I see all kinds of ignorance on here. Users that will not make a post period unless they are in a sig campaign. They're not here to learn about bitcoin or other useful alts. They are here to earn money period. I'm not against someone earning some money for posting, but they should at least have an interest in something besides the money. It's very sad to grade the sheets every day and see the users that if the requirement is 25 posts, they do exactly 25 posts. Then if a thread is deleted and they lose 1-2 posts, I get a message whining "please pay me".

If you're gonna apply for a job, you should ALWAYS read the rules for said job if you expect to be paid. If you don't plan on reading the rules and requirements, don't cry when you're not paid or land on a blacklist.

Users should just be casually posting on topics that are of interest to them. Making 10-25 posts a week should be nothing if you only have 1 account and browse the forum.
