Yeah but technology/robots/ai will replace human labor ...so if you don't need people you got to "get rid of junk" ,as human without work are dangerous ...

You can't leave AI alone though. Someone has to be watching the robots/machines to ensure they haven't brocken down or got stuck on a job.

If the 1% killed off everyone else, they themselves would be poor and innovation would reduce..



As pointed out the virus generally attacks older people and the 1%, if they wanted to maintain dominance, would likely kill the current zoomers instead since some seem to be forming large pressure groups against them - and rightly so in cases.

I have the meta board on watch and I'm seeing an unwatch/watch button next to reply? Is that what you were after?

I don't think it's possible from the watch function on the actual watchlist though.

I agree with you, that was the point of my thread to tell. I think it worth to get some experience with your bucks and this way you'll slowly adapt to higher bankroll. People usually directly move from virtual money to real high bankroll.



Yeah I just thought it was better to make it a little more explicit. I don't think it's mentioned very much that it's a good idea to move to a small amount of funds first and then start increasing.

Imo the balance you put on an exchange for trading with leverage shouldn't exceed 25-30% of your portfolio and if you lose it, you need to move back down.

I'd probably say the best option is to start at 1-5% then double it to 10, 20 and then 25 (or stick at 20) but only move up if 6/10 trades make a profit and your roi is still positive. It may seem tedious but you'll feel better afterwards than if you yolod with 30%.

But they do need them. The reason the 1% are the 1% (at least the most powerful of the 1%) is down to exploitation of many workers and the size of the population..

Billionaires and millionaires cna make their money either directly or indirectly from factories employing people in countries like China, India and Thailand where its less cost to live and more demand for jobs than availability so people are forced to work in poor conditions (afaik).

Check your country's money laundering policy. I've had no problem buying and selling bitcoin at all - although my countries limit before you have to do kyc is €15000.

Realistically you shouldn't face any problems and if you don't put the funds directly onto an exchange (as in get the buyer to deposit directly) then you shouldn't face a problem.

And yeah clue yourself up on what can be charged back and how secure a confirmation is to decide the threshold you want to accept (I'd recommend 3 confirmations - ~20 minutes after the first confirmation on average).

Good quality posts like xhomerx10 over there? I'll try to match his quality.


Exactly, just like his great example  Roll Eyes Grin


I see, are there specific discussions to avoid that are considered low quality?

Not really. A lot of the altcoin sections are filled with spam try not to post in a lot of service announcements threads (especially the gambling and altcoin section) and avoid posting exclusively in things like the altcoins section. Feel free to make any topics you think are interesting to discuss and generally you can determine something is low quality by just considering if you can lose anything by posting something - if it doesn't seem spammy to you it isn't to anyone else (I say this but a lot of my merits come from going back on my decision to delete 🤣).
3588  Other / Meta / Re: How are we expected to rank up? on: August 24, 2020, 09:12:41 PM
You just have to make good quality posts and earn merits.

A lot of people post in bounties and similar spammy places so they don't get much merit and don't rank up. If you're here to learn you'll almost definitely rank up fast or if you offer something to the community - discussion/an infrequently exercised skill then you should rank up fairly quickly too. Anything else and it'll take time - people that just spam don't earn much merit but if you're here for the right reasons you'll get it fast (I think we've all been lurkers if we're here for the right reasons I was lurking since April before I joined in August 2015).

You sent the transaction with too high a fee and had too many inputs. You just need to adjust the fees to enable manual fee settings and use whatever is the minimum to get it confirmed - currently it's 1 sat per byte..

I got a conf within 40 minutes using just 1 sat per byte on 3 separate transactions. It is quite a good time to consolidate your inputs now.

Silver. Trying to upload pic. New to this. How do I just peel and redeem on coinbase I guess??

IF they've been kept in dark conditions and in a container (without prints or with minimal damage) then people'll pay 0.55-0.75 for each.

I don't think you can peel and put it straight into coinbase, you'll have to download bitcoin core I think if you did want to peel them - but it would be a waste.

I'd leave them up here for about a week or two if I were you and see if anyone's interested -if not then peel.
3592  Economy / Economics / Re: Why has the s&p500 already made a full recovery? on: August 24, 2020, 02:33:18 AM
It is overestimated, but the fact is that the traditional market does not necessarily follow and be connected to the current economic situation in the world and often and almost always goes the opposite of what most expect.

A stronger economy not recovering it's market faster is a bit of a weird one for me though. On the way down it was claiimed the market cap lost $6 trillion, these funds have come from somewhere and haven't gone back into more successful areas? (although perhaps picking germany was a mistake since it's in schengen).

The bubble is quite spectacular. I'm not sure if the investors/speculators/kids-with-robinhood-accounts believe that the pandemic will be defeated promptly, or that the economy will quickly shift from in-person services to online, but I'd give it until around election time. If it doesn't crash by then I will give up and join the pumper cult and buy $10k worth of Tesla stock (if one share still costs less than $10k at that time).

I'd invest in the new mind control startup he was thinking of, that way you're buying your share of ~100 million gullible idiots too Wink (if you've ever read/watched divergent).
I'm not sure I like Musk, he's probably contributing a lot to global emmissions these days too with all the test rockets and he gets far more credit and influence than he deserves for losing his box to think in.
3593  Economy / Economics / Re: Why has the s&p500 already made a full recovery? on: August 24, 2020, 01:09:08 AM

I watch the stock market constantly even though I don't have a lot of skin in the game, and I'd say a day of reckoning is coming for the US indexes.  Why?  Because the prices of the stocks in them have been being inflated for over a decade by low interest rates, rampant money printing, and now stimulus checks.  I'm not sure what the P/E average is for the S&P 500, but I'd imagine it's really high.


The pe average of the s&p500 published by vanguard was 26 before the crash - I assume its probably still around there.

The UK ftse 100 is at a 16 pe ratio for comparison and I think high cap Europe remains around 15 (at least in the west).

A lot of this is looking like a last ditch attempt for the US to stay on top, I don't think the money printing is going to stop for a while - it might be unnecessary but the US economy already looks like it has a very high amount of money flowing through it compared with other country (due to healthcare premiums and the tax system to name a few).
3594  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The Lightning Network FAQ on: August 23, 2020, 11:37:33 PM

The channel partner has a key, and in theory he could cooperate with the sender of the funding transaction. So what I meant was that the sender could send the money to the multisig address using another funding transaction which competes with the "legit" transaction which uses your input. We would arrive then at the same problem you described: the txid would have changed, invalidating the commitment transactions.


Afaik this has the ability to lock funds in some sort of stalemate if you're saying someone double spends the input transaction so the CT becomes invalid itself. Double spending the same funds between two different channels I think wouldn't be possible as the old CT is either already invalid or set to be when the new one is produced - so you'd have to present your new balance as being whatever the last CT said it was.

Also, I think it's generally recommended to leave a wallet open as the CT confirms as I think if you send via mainnet to a CT and something changes while it's unconfirmed - wallets might be coded to. Double spend and return the funds back to you although at the moment only one person funds a ct so I assume the other can't provide funds without both sides agreeing.
3595  Economy / Economics / Why has the s&p500 already made a full recovery? on: August 23, 2020, 11:25:40 PM
I was just looking at the comparisons of the charts between the dax, uk ftse and s&p500 and it looks like the S&P has has majorly outperformed the others but I'm trying to work out why?

A lot of people seem to think consumers are buying more from larger companies and less from smaller ones and the US government seemed to be doing it's best to bailout everything other countries were competing on (afaik) against it - like they normally do. But it seems weird that part of the market has already fully recovered even though the pandemic is set to continue for quite a while. Did people just deposit their cheques from the government straight into the stock market? Are companies doing buybacks still with their own rescue packages? Or do people wait for a crash before they start investing...

Have you got much in mind? This kinda seems like you trying to get this community to do your work for you so you can reap the rewards?

I don't know if much has been done on trying to incorporate technical analysis patterns into a bit but you could take a look at it - a lot of them just use the price and an indicator like the rsi.

3598  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Archer v. Coinbase "Not your keys, Not your coins" on: August 23, 2020, 09:46:51 PM
I think that it's shady that they kept his BTG because we don't know if those coins were or weren't sold by coinbase. It would be free money for the company if they were to take those coins at any point and sell them without telling their clients. We're talking about millions of USD here not just this guy's coins.
At the same time if they were forced to fork BTG by court they'd have to install the software for every single BItcoin fork possibly compromising their security. People would start to demand Coinbase pays them their Bitcoin God or whatever...

I think this would neutralise their defense entirely though. If you say you don't want to run something because it's closed source and you don't trust it and then ran it anyway and got what you wanted from it then you're going back on your word and that can be used in evidence against you imo.

I think if they ever do this, a case like this will reappear under there being grounds of new evidence (if its not a thing in the US they're probably still accountable to European law).
3599  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Virtual trading before actual one - pros and cons on: August 23, 2020, 06:29:59 PM
I just skipped straight to using small amounts of funds.

I dumped ~1% of my portfolio at the time and started trading with 1-5% (~$1-5) amounts of that 1% to test how well I could do for profit, but I was also following signals, at the same time on a different account so I could keep track of sentiment and still make some sort of profit. I think I'd just have got bored of a demo account and 30 cents profit on a dollar isn't too bad of a win and the negative of that is a much nicer loss too.
3600  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Archer v. Coinbase "Not your keys, Not your coins" on: August 23, 2020, 05:18:57 PM
I don't think it's unreasonable to not want to open closed source applications anywhere near your main stockpile of crypto for users' funds.

Bitcoingold making it closed source also makes it look really suspicious too - that btg are up to something...
