Sure Bitcoin have many advantages (and disadvantages) and usages (caret to explain). Not that you mentioned that significance of Bitcoin, why didn't you have gone to the basics then? You could just give some pointers about what really is its significance. And what it has to do with the government? The way I say it, I think the government is jealous and insecure.


Beneficial thing, not all the time mate. Especially not as quickly as you think it would be. Its volatile, its decentralized how can it be in our favor, this is not centralized. Bitcoin is not illegal either, you can use it as you see fit, its yours after all. Well maybe the reason why you think it that way is because few countries have already banned it. Altcoins have their own thing, and it does not depend on Bitcoin, if they will grow or no progress.


It will eventually replace the fiat, is it just me or you're just not a realist. Well the crypto are still considered as new, so it can't be helped if many people don't consider it as main currency.

Exactly, and to the fact that the Campaign Managers have to review their posts in that specific week accordingly. The participants will now be able to engage into a more sensible quality posts. So the so called shit posts will now be reduced also because of the system.

Besides one of the goals of the new system is to patronize those people who're worthy to rank up, meaning their posts are qualified enough to receive such Merit. But the thing is, not every quality posters are being noticed at all. And by this, it will be just another motivation for them.

Is there any risk at all, as of now I don't think there would be any. As many people are diving into it and even companies are accepting Bitcoin as their medium. Its not a daunting task, they're just inexperienced and are usually having casual panics, and as a result a major loss. They didn't even consider that Bitcoin is volatile, so you just have to tighten yourself up and wait for that great opportunity because eventually it will pump right back up.


Its true that its not bad to buy what you can afford, but I'm not really that certain about that holding, as you will be holding back also the price of Bitcoin. You might not know it, but it will be. You don't have to wait really, you could just invest it out in some exchange sites and start trading there, by that it could be more opportunities for you to have even more profit as you know it.

No one have ever expected that this would happen, even those that have hold back from day was surprised as well. So don't think that it will work for you as well, there are many things that you could do, even more productive.

That's some negative attitude right there, 'invest only the amount you can afford to loose', so you already said that you will not gain any profit. And what's with the jeopardizing the financial system? Unexpected breakdown? I'm lost there.

I've been in the same boat as you do right now. My only capital that time was my knowledge and my device. I couldn't say that I have that much of knowledge about Bitcoin but still I'm getting more and more familiar with the platform as I continuously read not only about the cryptos but also its mechanics, and also about the forum. All in all, most of my time are into reading, as I gain knowledge about different things or techniques that can be used in earning it.

I don't say that the strategy that I've used was going to be applied the same as I did but, its not a bad suggestion. From the start I work my self to gain a decent rank for me to be able to join any Signature Campaign. And right when I gain income from that Campaign I now want to join some ICOs or acquire some altcoins, I know Bitcoin is the big thing, but trading is a bit better. So I trade my coins, and whenever I gain enough profits I would buy some other coins and repeat the same process, to gain even more profit.

When you hear the next big thing what comes into your mind mate? Well obviously, its just common sense, when you actually thought about the phrase you will already know that, people will talk about it, it will be a trend not just to some countries but the whole world - as it was right now. That's what the next big thing means.

Really, it doesn't matter if its big or small. But if you want to dive into that then here goes, there could be news or updates about this cryptocurrency whether that be a big one or a small one.

You can't avoid comparing it to dollars because their both currencies. The thing that differentiates them is its utilization and source, also the dollar is centralized and the cryptos are decentralized. Then what's the goal of Bitcoin? Why didn't you care to explain? Well in my knowledge, Bitcoins goal is to have a optimized use of the currency which is these cryptos, as it is decentralized and volatile; and the most reasonable thing is the Freedom in using it.

I think you're the one who needs to research.

The main reason is that, Bitcoin is way up ahead from the rest of the altcoins. Its not that the altcoin are not gaining growth, its just they cant cope up to the current value of Bitcoin, as they are both volatile still, Bitcoin somehow gain even more than the rest of them.

In my knowledge, Bitcoin's price already reach almost three times its original value from 2016, so 10 years from now I can't come up to what will be its price then. But definitely its not doubled, more like about ten times its original price (not even exaggerating).


I'm not sure about regulations, because its decentralized, or so we've been told. But even then it already is in the global economy trends and making its reputation quite good. Even more people are being exposed in this platform. I don't know about the cryptoassets though. I think the traditional stock system will just going to be improved, and the ICO's have nothing to do with this.

As many people suggests: I could conclude that neither is good nor bad about either trading or investing, and why is that?

After some reading, trading is kind of the same as investing, you see when you wanted to trade, you have to invest your money in that certain exchange site. Therefore you want to expend a percentage of your money - capital. So I've mentioned capital, that has always been a requirement for you to invest.

Ok so I've took out the confusion there, so in general, you wanted to trade. The great thing about trading is that you got to be strategic and smart to your decisions, although not everything goes into plan, because by any chance the prices of those coins that you've invested in for you to eventually trade later and gain profits have that time of the year. That you need to be very aware for you to be able to have a very good trade.

They are saying that this is a bubble mainly because, last year the price of Bitcoin have gone up way up ($19k ~ $20k at most) reaching almost three times the price of Bitcoin on the year 2016. But suddenly after some months or weeks, the price of Bitcoin have drop down to $11k ~ $10k. Yeah we know it is a big drop to not to be noticed.

So I was saying, when you create a bubble it will float way up into to the air because its so light but at a certain height it will suddenly explode, and its excess will drop into the ground. That's why they're saying that it is a bubble.

After some research, I have to agree with you. Its a shame for them to not doing their job, that suppose to be one of their responsibilities. So that much number of the campaigns with regards to altcoins have this issue.

There has to be some reason behind this: Is it because the number of participants are greater, that's why they don't have that much of the time to monitor or to review the posts of every members joined ; or are they just making this as an excuse just to make their work less tiring (sarcastically).

But then, since I've pointed out the Campaign Managers, guess I have also included the bounty campaign managers too. Well just to be clear, we know that the majority of ACMs(Altcoin Campaign Managers) don't have the reputation that of those BCMs(Bitcoin Campaign Managers) on the other side have. What I'm trying to say is that those people who've been gained their reputation as being a CM.

Yes I've totally separated the ACMs and BCMs, but that's not intended, its just simply a legend. Because there are BCMs that also manages Altcoin Bounty Campaigns.

It might not be the CMs responsibility, then who has then? It is not their problem, true, its not really have to be a problem, in this case its just going to be an incentive to the participants for them to even strive more to have quality posts.


Well, obviously because they've already joined a Signature Campaign. Exactly, that's why I'm suggesting this, in order for the participants to have a chance in gaining merits, because as of now, the topics that people are meriting is only on selected topics.


Burden? Really? Are you serious right now - that is their job for God's sake, its their duty to monitor and review the posts of all the participants. Are you saying that not all CMs are doing their jobs and just looking at the start post count and the end post count - not the exact post of the participants? Man that's some serious issue right there.

Well they can try and cheat just to earn some merits, but we have to consider that they are only giving sMerits and the Merits are only given by those that are authorized to be Source Merits. Also have to consider that the system already provided tracks of the sMerits or Merits that are or being given, its easy for us to monitor if someone or some people are abusing the use the sMerits.

This concludes that the system is absolute and can not be jeopardized, to think that they've already made a defense mechanism to the system.

There's nothing wrong about this, as it is only a suggestion not a proposal. I am not even against the Merit System in fact I am very aware of it, but not all members of this forum do. So I've come up to the conclusion that I would create such topic.

As mentioned here, we wanted to give opportunities to those members that are not familiar and are confused about the Merit System.

Oh really now, I have shit posts? Let's compare then. Why are you so mad mate? This is just a suggestion, nothing to be mad about. Are you a kid or something, hothead? So immature.
Ok less than 10 IQ? I wonder if that kind of person really exist, Oh yeah there's no such person. But no it was you isn't it? Not frustrated really, just want to optimize the system.
Hungry? How funny, Its a shame I have more money than you do.

I have to break it to you mate, the 25 posts that I've mentioned is the normal number of post required for the Signature Campaign that Bitcoin-payment-based , besides its just an example, right from the phrase 'let's say...'.

The system will not be affected, in fact its going to be improved. Why you asked? Because this will not only benefit the participants as they will be reviewed and going to be worthy of merit to their quality posts(if they have one) but also the Managers as they will be focused more to their jobs and you know somehow earn even more trust.

That's why its only going to be in the hands of the managers, because they are the ones who're reviewing your posts if they're constructive enough to be accepted.

By mentioning the source, yes there has to be a source because the sMerits have expiration. And by this, we could conclude that the one giving us Merits are not just from anywhere.

I was wondering about the new system that has been implemented. We all know that it can be challenging to earn even a single merit, I mean not all the members of this forum are that familiar to what really is going on, especially to the new members.

So I will get to the point, so how about this, let's say we joined a Signature Campaign it lasts for four weeks. And every week you will be required a number of post, let's say 25 posts. So you've already met that requirement and has been confirmed by the Manager. We also know that the Manager reviews your posts if those are constructive, here's the thing why not reward Merits to those participants that have quality posts, by the Manager.

Then its not going be hard as before for the participants to earn Merits and eventually rank up.

Does this idea makes any sense? Let me know guys what are your opinion about this.


EDIT:
I have noticed that few people are saying that the CMs don't have enough sMerits or Merits to provide for all the participants but as the suggestion of:

OR,
As many as the CMs wants.

Really, does money makes your life meaningful? Does money makes your time as valuable as much? So you're saying that, if you're doing something that is not 'money-related' it is consider as 'a waste of time'? Wow, time is the most important thing that you could possibly have, and to think that you would equal the value of money to the significance of time, you must be really greedy.

It doesn't mean that you have so much money, you're life will be successful. Well having so much money and being successful is even on a different level. You're connecting things here that are not suppose to relate to each other by means of money.

Having a better life does not always been the fruit of having so much money.

To be frank mate, 'time', its priceless.

Yes they do, and they've be able to grant those merits to anyone, but I don't think it may affect the system - the merit system. Since the sMerits suppose to decay overtime, I mean you can grant them but it will going to have no effect if you're not that active. I'm not sure if there is some time limit to it but the point is, its not worth buying in case they would sell it.

Sure you're going to have its benefit at that time but, the system is absolute, that's the very meaning why the Merit System has been implemented to prevent people on having farmed accounts, or not being active in the forum, and much even better, helping these people to make constructive posts, meaning anti-spamming.

Then what makes you different from them, if you're just going to be as arrogant and ignorant as those people?

What's wrong in being advocate, maybe you're not explaining it clearly to them, don't blame them immediately. Because maybe you're the one who's lacking in communication skills, or not persuasive and charismatic at all.

Don't solely blame them, just because they don't know or they have other ideas about cryptocurrencies.
