They will get caught sooner or later and it will hurt them. Many people have been caught with their armies of accounts and lost years of leveling up. Those were hundreds of hours! So while you may think that they are fine, it's like walking on thin ice. They're dedicating a lot of time and sometimes also money (bought accounts) into getting an army of socks and placing them all in signature campaigns, and then all get caught and it's all lost. Even if they get to earn some money in the process it's usually not worth the time and effort.

That's impossible due to different prices of electricity and different climate. Running a farm somewhere in Africa wouldn't be efficient the same as running it somewhere in Central Europe. Countries have no problem with supplying miners. They are doing this under pressure from the banks who are trying to slow Bitcoin down.
If miners are buying and you can't supply them there are many things you as a leader of a country can do. One is increasing the price of electricity, another is building more plants or adding more generators to your existing ones.

The key  word here is SALARY. If you want to look for a job it may be important, but if you're a businessman yourself that isn't waiting to get employed by someone else, your degree does not matter. I have my degree, but it didn't earn me any money. In the last 10 years it maybe paid for itself, but that's all. I only got back the money spent on education and I doubt that I will ever double this sum in my life. I know wealthy people with many businesses who made money by working since high school. When I was losing money and time on education they were starting their own companies.

He later said that he's not using it and that he never had any Bitcoins! Someone who handles his sales added a Bitcoin payment option that went directly through the payment processor and appeared as USD on their account. This whole thing was just another media rumor.

What? How come? I think that it has completely no impact on the relationship. Especially that you usually have to take your partner's word for it. A man can lie and you won't be able to prove it, while a woman can be checked, but it's not like you're going to give her a thorough checkup before your first sex to know she's telling the truth.

You are right. I think that taxes should be collected by local authorities and spent on the local needs of the people who live in that area. I wouldn't mind paying if I saw the results. Unfortunately my money will end up somewhere in the capital, or worse, the EU council, where it will fill the pocket of some lazy clerk who will keep criticizing my country for not being modern enough and still using too many traditional light bulbs or some other nonsense.

Haha good catch. In the post below they didn't respond, but they read your post because the quote about 2000 EUR disappeared from their post
A while ago a courier needed 2000 EUR to meet you, now he doesn't need anything, it's fine
A plane ticket from an EU country to another EU country would cost them maybe 100€! If they asked for 500 that would cover the whole trip + food.

I can get a newbie account, make a similar claim, get the money + a passport that can be sold to some terrorists. Now that ISIS is almost extinct they will be needing new identities.

It's a funny thing because back when the fees were crazy high the number of transactions was much higher. One might think that the cheaper it is to pay the more people will do it, guess not
I think the transactions fell because a lot of new people who went in because they heard that you can make a lot of money fast with Bitcoin lost money and got scared, while long time holders don't want to spend their coins because they see the potential. The prices are too low to waste coins on gadgets when they can be worth 20% more in a few weeks.

And who is going to punish them? The Police? They can always blame it on their lack of knowledge, undisclosed sources, things like that. Most of those news outlets have disclaimers that say the information may be inaccurate and that sometimes they come from anonymous tips and other undisclosed sources. We should learn not to trust them and not to act on these news without confirming them first.

It's not the fat that's making you fat, however that sounds. It's mostly carbohydrates that give you energy which you are unable to burn. The math is very simple: you consume 2000 calories a day and burn 2200 = you're getting lighter and thinner. Also, you need fats to be healthy, it's just that fried food tends to have more calories in the same size meal, so people lose control of how much they're eating.

Why? Gambling is a part of our lives whether we want it or not. People are betting with their friends who will drink more or faster, who will pick up a girl, which team will win the football match. Casinos are legitimate businesses, that can be registered in almost every country in the world. Why shouldn't a currency be used to gamble? All world currencies are being gambled as we speak and nothing bad is happening.

First of all both women in the picture have no class or style showing off their private parts like that. When you're going out make sure your pants are the right size!
Since we're talking sizes, the average American is more overweight than the average European, but I could find literally millions of pictures to support a claim that there are many fit Americans and fat Europeans.
Why are they fatter? I'd blame the fizzy drinks and snacks. The daily routine of many Americans is full of coca cola, sweet drinks from starfucks, muffins, donuts and so on, usually consumed on the go or at work.

There are several important qualities of a leader. First of all he can't buckle under pressure, needs to be strong willed and charismatic, so that other people look up and follow him. He has to be stronger than the rest of the pack, otherwise they will think that they can do his job and try to undermine him.

More or less the same amount. I've actually lost more than I won, but I managed to keep my head above water thanks to all the giveaways, promos, rakebacks, referrals, things of that sort. Most of my bets and rolls ended up being lost, but financially I'm still a winner. If you want to talk numbers my bets in the last 2 years were a bit above $5000 in various cryptocurrencies.

This used to be so common that in 2015, when I came to the forum, it was one of the first things that I learned. Do not use paypal because people are stealing coins with chargebacks. Steve probably saw Bitcoin skyrocketing and decided to sell quickly before it goes down. He was in such a hurry that someone managed to take advantage of him.
Let's learn from this story guys. Be smart, always rethink your moves, and don't be too greedy. People tend to start thinking about that new house or a car they're going to buy that they forget about the real world.

Using private key is not safe if you do it for all to see. I'll give you an example.
You use a private key on a public computer (library, internet cafe)
Send someone your private key instead of the public one
Generate the key pair on an infected computer
Enter the private key in a public place when someone can film you doing it, take a picture
Leaving your computer unattended in a public space (at work, school)

All those things can lead to you losing your money. We need more details to be able to help.

Unfortunately, I've noticed that there are some sections that get much more attention from users who have a lot of merit and who are willing to give their merit away.
If you help newbies in beginners and help your chances of being merited are much lower than if you do the same thing in technical discussion usually because those newbies will have no merit to share. As for meta, I can agree with you because most if not all of my merit was earned here.

Something strange is going on. Not sure if it's Asia vs the rest of the world, mainly because traders are doing their thing at night as well. It's not like the average investor wakes up at 6 or 7 a.m. to start buying and then goes home and forgets about it until the next morning.
Anyway, this looks like the same money is being traded. Like some group sells everything and waits if the people get scared and start following them. If they don't, the group buys back and tests the opposite position. Check bitfinex on February 24 and today.

What earnings? Those optional ones that you may or may not have in a couple months? With this whole attitude of yours and the merit system in place it's probably going to be years. Such sacrifice.


Are you a professional bowman? I'm asking because you (probably unintentionally) managed to hit OP right in the knee.

You got it right, but that is only when your goal is to ultimately have more USD. I'm trading against BTC to ultimately have more of it, regardless of its fiat value. I'm doing so with all my all my airdropped and forked coins. I'm not focusing on trading Bitcoin for fiat but on trading altcoins for Bitcoin, so I'm mainly interested in how the alts are holding against it. To be honest, if you're trading cryptocurrency pairs for BTC not tether or fiat, it's hard to keep track of your fiat profits. I have no Idea how people manage to do both on a daily basis.
