Hi Best Change family.

I have decided to take a gamble so I will leaving the campaign when this campaign week ends.

Thanks to Best_Change for giving me the opportunity to participate.

See you all around the forum.

Hi icopress, thanks for accepting me!


I'll do the same but one day later.

I have been reading carefully and I think we are going to have a bit of drama, because although I think you raise valid points, he has a previous great reputation and I guess he will defend himself.

I think that in principle it is not right to leave positive feedback or include your alt in your trust list. I have remembered that LoyceV has an alt and he has neither left positive feedback (only neutral to reflect that it is his alt) nor has he included it in his trust list.

And apart from what LoyceV does, which as much as he knows he could be wrong, the inclusion of your alt, and thus being able to vote double and being able to leave double feedback that is reflected, being you a single person, does not seem right to me. If so, where would be the limit?

He might be a commie but at least he/she has a brain. Can't say the same about you and OP.

I would rather say that his political thinking is generally left-wing but in matters of this forum and trust I trust him much more than I trust you two.

P.S: As you can see, I am far from being a commie:

Enjoy communism: Venezuela raises monthly minimum wage to $2.40
    
Enjoy communism (II): Venezuela to cut 6 zeros from its currency

Enjoy communism (III) rats eating dead people and people eating rats in NK

Those are somewhat old threads but you can see that my thinking hasn't changed:

It's definitely been edited because when talking about cryptocurrency it links to:

Your Intro Guide to Cryptocurrency

published on June 2021.

Not bad your summary about money. Money has been constantly evolving and I would argue that with technology the evolution has accelerated. I once heard Musk say that he was one of the people who best understands how money works because he created paypal. We also have gift cards, for example, which are not money but work as if they were in certain areas.

Today we are on a path towards the disappearance of cash, partly because new forms of payment (e.g. with cell phones) are more convenient, and partly because governments and banks are interested.  This was the wet dream of banks and governments until Bitcoin appeared, and then privacy coins were created.

Now they have counterattacked by planning the creation of CBDCs, but no matter what they do, whoever wants a space for privacy will always have it.

I think it depends on the gambler's experience, on how many years he/she has been playing. Normally someone who has been playing for years wants better conditions, promos, rakeback -which is a way to lower the HE in EV games- and doesn't care about the publicity celebrities do.

Someone who has not been playing for a long time is more more likely to be influenced by celebrities.

How old are you? Because I have the impression that you are 16 years old and have no friends and that's why you spend all day flooding the forum with this kind of threads. If you had a paid signature I would still understand, you would do it for money, but not having a paid signature makes me think even worse.


Please, post proof of all the money you have earned thanks to your wisdom and by the way some pictures of your yacht from where you post.

Eventually, with all the predictions you make, you'll get one right at some point, and then you'll say, "See, I said so...".

If the war is over soon, for example, well, I wouldn't be surprised if we had a bull run, but we are certainly not in one now, nor do we have any indication that one will happen soon, because we don't have a crystal ball, like you do.

I believe that if you had carefully read the brief article you link to, you would have had a clear idea and you would not ask that question.

As I understand it, the money never left Coinbase. Coinbase identified that transaction as suspicious, blocked it, and alerted the FBI, who would then confirm that it was fraud. The article doesn't say it exactly like that, but that's how I understand it.

Hi mate, do you think The Pharmacist doesn't already know that? I think we all agree with that, he is talking about a hypothetical idea:


In his response to my comment, he also talked about supplementing the income from signature campaigns with other sources of income.


The Pharmacist is not going to become a shitposter all of a sudden, neither are you and I, no matter how much we have minimum posting requirements in our sig campaign, and in any case, in that hypothetical situation he would have more time to write, as we have been talking about, so I only see sense in your comment if it is directed to lower ranked members who are starting in this.


Maybe because you only post in the collectibles section? Campaign managers usually want people spreading the posts all over the forum, not just one section.

Going back to the main point of the thread, I think that even though we are talking about a hypothetical situation it is interesting to always have options open, because you never know what can happen in the future. Being able to earn money only with a computer and an internet connection gives you a freedom of options, regardless of the sources of income you have are more or less stable. But having savings, plus 1 or 2 sources of good income gives you a freedom of choice that someone who only has a source of income from a job that requires physical presence does not have.

I have followed the thread and seen some interesting answers, what I was also thinking is that maybe if someone considers doing what The Pharmacist says in 5 years (assuming that there are still well paid campaigns by then) maybe there will be some country that has revealed itself as the best to go to that we do not take into account now. To give an example, if this thread had been written 5 years ago, El Salvador would not have been considered as much of an option as it may be now.

From what I recall, it has to do with the number of reports. If someone reports a lot in an accurate way, they can be considered for a moderator position, or at least that's what I read hilarious say if I remember correctly in a meta thread. So if you have that in mind, try to keep the forum clean by reporting.

I will never be one because I don't report much.

I'm going to leave aside the technical aspect, which I think has been masterfully explained by BlackHatCoiner, and go to the financial aspect: to be honest with you, what I think is that you are not right.

The market knows that Bitcoin has a limit of 21 million that cannot be exceeded (unless there is an improbable future consensus to change the limit) and that many have been lost, which is the same as saying that almost everyone who invests in Bitcoin knows this. This means that the current price of Bitcoin includes that restricted part of the supply, therefore what it needs to rise further is more demand, not that people understand that there is a limit to production or that many have been lost, as you argue.


Btw, I've had a look at that address and I see it receiving small sums, even recently. Are people supposedly sending "donations" to Satoshi?

I would go farther.


Has the OP backed up his claim or was he simply carried away by the excitement of the news? It seems to me that it is the latter. OP, if there are a lot of stable coins doing that, it wouldn't hurt if you put up proof of it.

It's just that "better" as you use it in this context is very imprecise. Bitcoin is more valuable than fiat currencies, it is a currency that has to appreciate and fiat currencies tend to depreciate. So if you have to make an expense, what are you going to do, spend the good currency (Bitcoin) and save the fiat currency? What you would do in that case is to impoverish yourself. If, on the other hand, you spend the bad currency and save the Bitcoin you will tend to get richer.

I remember in the last 6 months hearing news like that several times just before the price dropped.   


Sure, that's the problem with taking a single statistic as the sole factor in determining price increase or decrease.


Good analysis. While we can never know for sure, I think you and I agree that it is quite unlikely that we will go over $69K this cycle. I remember after the January 2018 price drop that there was a lot of analysis justifying why the Bitcoin price was going to rise again and surpass $20K, which was true, but 4 years later. The current situation looks like the same thing. We will surpass $70K but around 2025 unless we have some very bullish events for Bitcoin before then, like some major country implementing El Salvador type legislation or the world's largest capitalization companies announcing they are buying Bitcoin for their reserves.

Well, I think that all the help that can reach people in need is good, no matter if it comes with paypal or crypto. You are probably right but there will be people who will have known about crypto in Ukraine because of the conflict, if only because they have heard that some of the help has come in crypto. If you used to see cryptocurrencies as something rare associated with fraud and scams but today you got help paid with crypto, surely tomorrow you are going to be more open minded towards them.

The road to mass adoption is slow, with a few small nudges, and this is one more small nudge.

Etc.

Regarding what you say, I suspect the OP is buying Bitcoin, or rather a Bitcoin derivative product like Paypal, Revolut, etc. That way it doesn't matter what the inputs are. If he pays 1% he doesn't care if he pays 1% of $1 30 times than 1 time a month 1% of $30.

Let's see if he comes back here and clarify doubts, although I'm afraid this is going to be another case in which the OP asks a question and then does not come back to comment on the thread.

What it seems is that if he is doing it to get more merits he has not done well because in the great majority of duplicated (or multiplied) threads, he has not gotten any merit.

Now what is not clear to me is what is going to happen with him. I think that because of this questionable way of acting he could be red tagged, because although we are not talking about trades, someone who acts like this does not seem to be trustworthy. Another thing is if the moderators will do something, because he constantly breaks unofficial rule 12, and with this I think that at least he could get a warning.


Let's see if a moderator comes by and tells us, but I think it's clear from the behavior that he knows he's doing something questionable, and is trying to hide it.

I do not report a lot but I don't think anything has changed regarding moderation. I reported some posts this week and they were handled but the thing is, some reports can remain unhandled forever, and that doesn't mean moderators are not around or anything.

My friend, there are many things you are not telling us, and we cannot give you a proper answer without you giving more details. I understand that maybe you don't want to give too many details for privacy, but an adequate answer to your question depends on:

1) Your age.
2) Your current and projected future salary.
3) Where you live.
4) Savings/investments to date.
5) Debts.
6) Subtracting 5) from 4) will give you your net worth.

So, the question of whether a $1 investment is ideal is not going to have the same answer for someone who has an annual salary of $100K and a net worth of $500K as it would for someone who has an annual salary of $15K and barely makes ends meet.

Going to your specific case, from what little you say, it seems that this is the maximum you can invest. So, the question is: do you have an emergency fund for contingencies? If the answer is no, allocate that money to save at least one month's expenses and after that invest 1$ daily or $30 monthly.

It would be necessary to see if you also have debts, but well, if you want to give us more details and we will advise you.

Hey man, you can travel to many countries, especially in Europe, without having been vaccinated. The only thing you will have to present is either a negative PCR or an antigen test, also negative, but you can travel without vaccination.

But I get the idea, in many countries vaccination was not obligatory but so many restrictions were placed on the unvaccinated that it was almost like an obligation.

La revedere, prietene.
