No, there's no such need or obligation, but I'm appreciating that they are doing it and finding time to respond. The ticket should be taken care of first, but in this case it was. The client felt like it wasn't so he came here to complain and they followed him to answer, which helped solve the case and put him at ease. I fail to see bad practices here.

That's how support should work. They found your post and responded on the forum. They didn't have to know about it, because it was in the beginners & help section, instead of service discussion or scam accusations, and made sure it was handled in the right way. I wish all exchanges worked like that.

The main reason why I stopped voting was lack of parties that represent my values. I mean there are libertarian parties and I used to vote for them, but they don't stand a chance. They are always below 5% and this has been going on for decades.
For some reason people like to be ruled, they like when others are making the decisions for them, and when they're given a false sense of security and a false sense of freedom. There are usually 2 major political parties (depending on a country) that share the power. When people get fed up with one they choose the other one, not knowing that they both are almost one and the same thing.

So you will make the rules for them? That's how authoritarian governments come to power.
I once saw a guy who manages pension funds on TV and the reporter asked him why there are no voluntary pension funds but it's being collected like a tax, and he replied: because we can't trust people, they are too stupid and lazy to save money, we have to make them do it. It's for their own good.

Is that really the attitude that you support? This social protectionism? Shame...
(I know it's off-topic, but I just had to reply when I read this part)


I'd argue whether this campaign should be enlisted, due to the way it's being operated. It's free advertising for the manager who says that it's open, but doesn't add anyone to the list for a week or more, at the same time stating that if they don't post with his signature after applying, they won't be added. People post with his signatures and after some time he announces that nobody got in, but they still have a chance if they keep posting. IMO this is not how a reputable campaign should be managed. 

That depends on whether the box could be checked and unchecked multiple times. To know how this is going to get abused you have to add it and the scammers will find a way and show it to you in no time.
If they could self moderate and then remove the option it would be a great tool for scamming. Somebody comes with a negative comment? Just switch to self moderated, delete it, switch back, so that people will see the thread as open and unmoderated, and will not suspect that you're cleaning it up. It won't work forever because the next day people will come asking where their posts are, but the possibility remains and at least some of them won't come back to argue.
Adding the option to permanently switch to self moderated should be fine.

The campaign I've been posting for has just ended today, so I'll try my luck in here. Thanks for consideration.

Thanks. It was a nice campaign, looking forward to another one.

I see that "as much as you can afford to lose" is the prevailing answer. It's not as bad as they're saying. If you invest, you won't lose 100%. Even if Bitcoin goes down to 3000 USD you will only face 50% loss. All of it won't instantly disappear. A 50% loss at this point would take months and give you enough time to exit.
You can invest as much as you want but I'd aim towards getting at least 1 Bitcoin.

What are you rambling about? XRP and ETH are 2 different coins that have nothing in common. XRP was supposed to integrate banking and cryptocurrencies but it's been years and not much has happened. So, XRP is failing in its own purpose. Do you even know why XRP is said to be centralized? It's because if they don't like you they can freeze your coins. You depend on the network and the network is controlled by a company (Ripple Labs). Even the founder of XRP left the project and started Stellar. XRP is nothing but a speculative pump and dump scheme.

A quick reminder for potential buyers. If you get caught buying merit nobody will want to have anything to do with you. To conduct any business on this forum you will have to start over again. Also, there's nothing that stops him from scamming you. He'll get paid and not merit you or he'll merit you and report you for buying merit to staff.
It's not worth it.

So why don't they do it? I mean if they're legit and have tether backed like they're saying it shouldn't be a big deal to hire someone to do the audit and vouch for them. And i'm not talking about some small time private contractor but a large company that does it professionally like Deloitte.
The more they're trying to buy time the worse the value of USDt will be and competing stable coins will keep gaining. If they keep avoiding this it will mean they don't have it backed and are going MtGox on us.

He's saying that libertarian values are an utopia. Can you really act like a smart person who wants to prove a point and at the same time be so ignorant? It looks like you can.
Thinking that we need more freedom with our finances, less government intervention and less agency snooping is to him an utopia. Hes nothing but a slave born and raised who doesn't question anything.

In case of Venezuela people are not buying lies of their president. Petro is like an ICO, it has to gain interest of the public to become worth something. Without it it's just a piece of code that nobody wants to use. Think of all those android games being developed every year. Many of them don't get downloads and become abandoned by developers. Same thing will happen to 99% of altcoins, and that includes Petro. If a country is in economic ruin launching a cryptocurrency won't help.

Some experts who do it professionally get it all wrong almost every time. CCN experts are among of the best in failing to predict Bitcoin moves.


You're right but despite all that Bitcoin price moved above the descending triangle. This means that to those who rely only on TA Bitcoin is clearly displaying a bullish pattern.
It's not only on Bitfinex but the average price among all exchanges is above the triangle. If people read it as a breakout we should see a small rally at least.

You can't stop volatility just like that. As long as large amounts will remain in the hands of whales, and as long as there are very few options to spend coins, without being forced to use an exchange, the volatility will be there. Typical fiat money will not enter the market affecting charts every time someone buys a plane or a yacht. It goes to the seller and the seller goes to another seller, who provides him with raw materials to start another project and pays his employees, who then go to another place to buy food and pay mortgage. A typical dollar bill can circulate for 10 years and never touch a currency exchange.

It's already gaining value again. Did you see the charts on Monday?

Rebranding will never work. There are many reasons for that.
-people don't want it
-you won't be able to reach a consensus
-It's not needed and wouldn't change anything. Most of the world would know that this new coin called digital gold or whatever is bitcoin. You wouldn't fool anyone.
-It would only give altcoins that want to be Bitcoin like BCH what they want: more confusion that would allow them to make people think they're buying the real Bitcoin when they're investing in their altcoin.

I have to agree with this. The way the market is built, it relies on Bitcoin as the main promoter. Altcoins don't matter in a situation where laws are being built around bitcoin and with bitcoin in mind. Many people who aren't very well informed see cryptocurrency market as Bitcoin and think that altcoins are just a clone of Bitcoin. If the oldest and most popular cryptocurrency would crash to very low levels you can be sure that some altcoins would cease to exist and the rest would lose 90% of value.

I like it. Mentioning crypto is always good, even if it's only in a joke. It's interesting that they're doing it now, when Bitcoin is in what looks like consolidation phase.


I think that they wanted to use something that is popular and controversial at the same time. Plain old boring ads never become a conversation topic.

2 hours is enough to liquidate shorts and I think that there were 2 reasons for this sudden spike. The first one was Tether that pushed some scared individuals to buy Bitcoin with all their USDt. This liquidated shorts and made the price go even higher. I think it's still fine because thanks to this we've defended 6000 once again. Maybe this will be the beginning of a new rally like the one we had in August?

Did you hear about that offer Khabib got from 50 cent? They're offering him money to leave UFC and go to Bellator and it could work because his teammate got kicked out for jumping into the ring and attacking Conor and will now miss an upcoming fight. People are pointing out that Conor didn't get kicked out for his recent bus attack.
There's bigger money in Bellator right now. 50 cent is going to pay additional 1 million USD to whoever gets the belt.
