Ok so maybe you won't believe this but: I don't have a crush on bitcointalk and I never tried to scam people, here or anywhere else. I really like the humour in your topic with using VPN and TOR, I would give you merit if I had My confessions: Love - I took her for granted. I shoud have not Finance - I don't spend enough for myself, I feel guilty for going to a restaurant instead of using money for better things Behaviour - Sometimes I am short-tempered when something goes wrong Personal - When I get up, I hate talking or saying any word before I have my coffee. I also hate lights until after I finish my coffee or breakfast. I hate when someone (a familiar) asks me any questions before I finish my coffee :O Religion - I don't go to church or have any special prayers but I believe in God. For me the church is just a business Education - I cheated on ONE test/exam in my life. I'm a good student overall but I couldn't study for Physics because I was lazy Technology - I invented something and worked with a team many hours on that invention. Just to find out months later that a BIG company had applied for a patent earlier and successfully got it after we've been working so hard on it. It's a blockchain related project Looking for others as well!

Ok so I have a temporary solution for you. Use Google Chrome and access the imgur site. Right click on the picture and click on 'copy link' which is: https://i.imgur.com/U9JgXGb.jpginstead of https://imgur.com/U9JgXGbThen copy it between img tags [.img]https://i.imgur.com/U9JgXGb.jpg[./img] (remove dots)

I can do it easily. I have no problems speaking with large groups. It depends if you are introvert or extrovert

Your basic assumption that someone would decide to pay "millions" for a piece of art based on the piece of art itself, is flawed. The main reason why someone would pay e.g. a million for a Banksy is quite simply that there are others who would also pay a million.
Well, of course. I just gave an example of 'art'. So these millions paid are not for the appreciation of small things and instead, a perceived value of 'small things' being 'big' because of competition / more people thinking the same? I can also see the other point of view mentioned by the lad above me, regarding the value of the painting increasing over time

Hi and Welcome! I don't have a business but I do have social responsibility I will contact you if you are willing to help. Since then, I wish you to have a great experience here on bitcointalk! Personally, I believe it's a great idea for yourself. For me, I learnt many things and managed to enter in contact with different people and projects.

I do a research and I want to learn more things from wise rich people. How do you appreciate small things? Let me give you an example. Let's say I am an artist and I made this 'piece of art': or link https://imgur.com/a/Fkz3AqcHow do you appreciate it to the point where you decide to pay 'millions' (let's say 420 bitcoins since we are on this forum)? Is it enough for the artist to tell you that he worked many hours on it so you appreciate it? Or would you prefer a description? Description: Title: Origins of Life Art description: Just like the Golden Ratio which is in everyone of us and in everything around us, this art illustrates the origins of life and it is within everything that exists. You can think about the origins of Earth where the Blue indicates the water and the red the first atmosphere, the one without oxygen. Origins of Life can be read from bottom to the top where the first colour indicates your birth, the light blue indicates your peak and the red your decline until you return to the first colour, but darker because of the 'unknown' or 'death'. Origins of Life indicates the progress of every project that has ever existed. You can read it from top to the bottom, where the first dark colour is the phase of the project where everything is cold, nothing is decided. If you are a religious person, you can think that this part indicates 'God' who gives you a brilliant idea because it is the 'unknown'. The transition to red is where the project starts materializing and everything is intense, everything must be build from scratch. The light blue indicates the point where all the hard work is paid off with millions of customers being satisfied. The dark blue at the bottom is the end of the life cycle where the project has solved the problems, is not necessarily useful but will never be forgotten. I really want to learn from rich people how to appreciate small things for my personal development. Personally I don't know if I would ever spend so much on art, even if I LOVE IT.

I can understand the suspicious people. I am suspicious myself but I really really appreciate the work that has been done so far. The block explorer looks fantastic to me. I love the fact that you guys developed an API I see that you guys still need a GitHub page. Go for it! Also, one last thing to mention is that you guys need a PR team or ICO advisor. I feel that you need someone to create an 'identity reveal' strategy to make all these guys above me happy

As I already said,
The GOAL of Bitcoin was to become the 'DIGITAL GOLD' Nick Szabo called it bitgold in 1998 Today it is more than gold.
Anyway thanks a lot for sharing the information about Elixxir. I wasn't aware of it and seems a promising project

Buying on trusting websites Make sure you are covered by payment services like PayPal or Amazon. I saw a scam selling £900 computer for just £500. I found out it was a scam before purchasing but can't say the same about others. WATCH FOR REVIEWS! ALWAYS
On the other hand, my friend purchased a £1,500 laptop with just £980 :O

I respectfully disagree with you. We have to have the "store of value" crypto like BTC, and ETH be uncensured. trust me, I've had problems with a bank before. They have the ability to freeze your accounts based on a whim of an administrator. Any misunderstanding can cause you to temporarily and in the worse case, permanently lose your funds. Also, consider that law enforcement can seize your assets. It's called "civil forfeiture". This has never happened to me or anyone I know. I've only seen this in articles and mainstream media. Admittedly, when I've seen this happen it's most likely the person who had the funds seized is drug related (drug mules or dealers). I don't mind seizing the funds of criminals, but seizing them without due process is the scary thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture_in_the_United_Statesthe banks are going to want to keep it centralized and the government is going to want it censored. These two characteristics will keep "us" under conventional control. Hey man, I hope everything is fine with your accounts. Did they have a reason to freeze it? For example, did you do not pay taxes or any debts you had? Also regarding law enforcement, it pretty much sucks. Just for being a suspect the government can seize your money. What kind of proof do they expect? Also how am I supposed to pay lawyers if you seize my money? These things do not happen in Europe on a daily basis. I see that currently the US Department of Justice manages more than $2 BILLION of assets seized from 'suspected criminals'. I see that some big Banks forfeited as much as $500 million because of financial schemes with Mafia. I can see the point of law here. I was looking these days at some documentaries exposing Cosa Nostra and Camorra which managed to put hands on some banks. While this doesn't make me feel good, I know there are some banks around which are on the good side.

Is it true that when someone gives an advice, that person needs advice in the respective 'industry' / 'area' the most?
For example, I know people who give advice in love but they are lonely. Some people who give advice in finance are far away from being multi-millionaires.
Lecturers teaching moral values without them being ethically correct towards others.
Honestly I see it everyday! Why do people give advice they don't follow? How can we encourage these people to apply the advice in their own life?

One thing I don't get is why are you people buying it? Like, are you so lazy to Google things for yourself? Or are you participating in this "chain" effect?
I SEE THOUSANDS being scared of this device yet buying it. I don't know guys, I don't control your life but clearly you don't control it either

Hey, thanks for sharing this course. I would consider taking it if it's on Udemy because of price control, money back guarantee, etc. Let me know when you do that

Many years ago my father told me about a book he read. I don't remember the author but for sure of Russians origins. Probably a sci-fi author and probably Isaac Asimov. His books talks about a world where the humanity doesn't exist anymore and we are virtual, just computer signals. If someone knows it, send me a private message with the name of author and book. Anyway seems like we are going towards that kind of future :O

I am on the Telegram of this company, EOtrade: https://eo.trade/Looks like a decent organisation which had a decent ICO. You can buy crypto on their wallet with debit card and, you can use their exchange with 0% fees (weird! looks fishy but let's close an eye) Interesting thing about EOtrade is that in February they will burn ALL TOKENS that have not been sold during ICO (around 500,000,000). There were around 600,000,000 sold during ICO which is not bad. There is also an airdrop in December which also seems interesting. Do you guys consider it an opportunity to make some decent return on investment?

Great! But remember it's not only crypto being affected. You may want to learn more about the Digital Divide where technology ineducation is the new illiteracy

The only and best way to help people is to help them help themselves. If you do the work for him, he won't be able to appreciate and understand the value you produced for his life until he loses what he has.

I recently met with a top tier banker (I don't know if you've seen my post already). The bank director has had a master and before starting the career in banking couldn't find a job.
You have a master and PHD and you expect employers to be looking after you? Do you expect to be paid high amounts of cash? Congratulations! You failed your expectations.
What you do in your free time is more important. Do you drink with your friends and spend time having fun or are you learning new things? Even small things like learning on bitcointalk contribute to your success

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Personally I have never pursued self interest and wasn't aware of that. Instead, I was on the other side believing that I should sacrifice myself for other people. It's just a point of view but it has definitely changed the way I interact with people. I see that more people are mad when I tell them 'no' but I guess it's just the reaction from the change I made

I guess when you told him about his opinion regarding blockchain was completely misunderstood. Have you tried to ask him about decentralized/public blockchain? FYI, there are public and private blockchain. Did you ask him on what basis of their rule should they print more money when the monetary system was losing its purchasing power? IMO, they're not afraid of blockchain because it can be CENTRALized if they wanted it to be built their way. Imagine them creating their own crypto to be paired with BTC and ETH, eh-me-ged, did it sound like those stable coins? Nothing much more to say about how they can do with the monetary system, but watch this; Was there something above the law?Sanders vs Greenspan in 2013I can perfectly understand your point of view, that's why we discussed how a banker builds trust in a world where bankers are not perceived as good people. Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to ask HER oppinion about decentralization but I will definitely will when I have the opportunity. Thanks a lot of suggesting that! Regarding the centralization of cryptocurrencies, I disagree with that. WE MUST BELIEVE that cryptocurrencies can be regulated while being decentralized. My point is that the government should focus on customer protection solutions rather than controlling the supply. May cryptocurrencies become the first asset regulated without government's implications in supply control, therefore establish a new meaning for regulation
