In fact I didn't bet anything on these two candidate, but it's true that these two candidate got the big gambler pretty excited. I think there are quite a few gambler who have to accept defeat because they believe Trump will win the election again, but actually Biden came out the winner and silenced Trump fans.

After all, I'm pretty sure this is one of the reason that made him bet there was Trump.

And I never thought this kind of ban would apply to bitcoin. Some countries may be able to prohibit its circulation and also prohibit market activities in that country for various reason. But absolutely don't think a mass ban will happen to bitcoin in the future. Still very unlikely, mate.

In my opinion, the biggest threat to the price of bitcoin is the whale, because their activity in the market often bring disaster to the price of bitcoin even though it is only temporary until the price finally recover. Then I thought, if the bitcoin we are currently using is still in the testing phase then I think it's possible to have a new, bigger idea with better improvement. This can affect the price of bitcoin, but it's not a threat as long as the idea isn't born.

Bitcoin cant be used as a currency to pay for anything legally in my country, because until now the use of bitcoin as a mean of payment is still illegal by law. But fortunately we are still able to use bitcoin and other crypto to legally trade on various exchange that have received permission from the government. Adoption of bitcoin as a currency is still very difficult to achieve due to these regulation, so we can only use it as a tradable asset. Secretly, we can still use it as a mean of payment between user but this is still a prohibited action.

LOL, do not be afraid because Barcelona are now very inconsistent in the league. I won't say much about their win today because that's how it should be. But I'm still amazed by Messi who is still passionate and make a difference to the team. Without him, perhap Barcelona would have been very easy to beat because there was no goalscorer like him in the team so fewer goal were scored at the end of the season. But whatever Barcelona's current condition is, in fact Real Madrid fans are still too afraid to see them return to consistency. 

I don't want to say that Chelsea will 100% win this match but 80% chance of winning rest with Chelsea just because Sheffield United are the last place holder of the standing at the moment. The 1 point they have accumulated in 7 matche is a very poor result and not at all competitive. But in football we never know how the game will go, sometime we also have unexpected surprise. But not for this match.

I don't think we should have any more warning before the red tag is given. The reason is because If I'm not mistaken then we already have the previous 33 warning point as a forum rule. If a user break this rule then it is possible that DT member can mark their account with a red tag as the reason for breaking the rule. The 33 point that I mentioned must always be remembered and read so as not to make mistake in making decision that will later become habit. As in one example, someone complained and continued to complain about the unfairness of staff and the merit source in distributing merit to user. If the person keep complaining and complaining, eventually there will be hate speech thrown at the staff and the merit source so that the person will be marked as a troll.

In addition, there are many thing that get a person get red tag and clearly all wrong that have been breached, especially there are warning for that.

As usual, it is never acceptable when our favorite team lose to their opponent and this is a natural thing. But I never believed Everton would be one of the potential candidate for the EPL title this season from the start. Even though they look quite strong and managed to come up with a few surprise, I agree that they will not be in the top 4 this season.

All Manchester United fans should applaud Bruno this evening as his contribution led them to victory. Two goal and one assist is a pretty good achievement and finally I congratulate all of you who bet to Manchester United with the victory.

Of course, I think the main reason is their consistency.

First, happy first birthday to you on the bitcointalk forum. You look really excited and this is great for you.

I will probably no longer tell you that there were so many other user who failed to grow like you in a year, but you did well. There have been some big achievement in the last year for your account and it started with a rise in rank and also a good reputation. You are another proof that every user always has the potential to get better if they want to. Effort and consistency are two thing that can really have a positive impact on your accomplishment and they are very important. To be honest, taking a little time to study will open up opportunities for us to do our best for the forum and the community. It's just that sometime they're quite comfortable with worthless habit.

I am not going to say what the OP said was 100% true and I would not say that it was 100% wrong either. I will only think of it as a perspective that is known from experience, observation and so on. You are really not a newbie, because you have the ability to talk more than just that.

I am aware that all bitcointalk user are those who are governed by the system, and the rule that apply. The goal is to achieve the final target better as expected. No system is perfect and that is normal for all system because not everyone has the same perspective. The prevailing system doesn't work for us but we have to work under the system and this is called loyalty. When you and I can work well under a system, then we will be useful user with a lot of knowledge.

But one thing you have to realize here is that everyone involved in forums is human, and nobody is perfect and we all have our own egos. If you find something wrong with the system as well as the user running the system then use a reputation board for a much better answer and provide some concrete evidence that it is the wrong thing.

I have seen some applicant ignore the rule set in the OP regarding the amount of merit they have earned in the last 120 days.


As far as I know, if the applicant ignores the campaign rules it will not increase the chances of being accepted into the campaign. Even though the manager can still consider your application, but understanding and obeying the rule that apply is much better in my opinion. A little bit of advice might be helpful, just come back to apply if you actually qualify for the campaign as it's the best way to get hired. Don't rush into applying, as there will always be better opportunities for those who qualify.

Of course, I have been asked several time about bitcoin by colleagues. But none of them were interested in learning bitcoin be it how it works, why bitcoin is valuable because they just wanted to know how to make money from bitcoin. From this I can conclude that the bitcoin they know is an asset that can give them an advantage regardless of how they get it including trading, working in bounty campaign and so on. Therefore, I am not interested in teaching them too many detail because I would not dare recommend any mean if they really didn't know how bitcoin and crypto work. Trading is very risky for them, also bounty campaign will be a waste of time though not all.

Behind all the advantage there must be drawback. Everyone know that bitcoin is not completely without its drawback. Bitcoin still need development and will continue to grow over time.

A little explanation from me for your point.

• High transaction fees are only felt when bitcoin price and transaction increase, a problem that has been raised dozen of time by user. The scalability problem must be resolved and LN may be the solution.
• Volatility, this shouldn't be a problem if bitcoin is a tradable asset. Without volatility, trader will lose potential profit.
• Adobsi, there has been a lot of increasing adoption of bitcoin as a mean of payment but it still need improvement. You can find more product from store that accept bitcoin as a mean of payment here.
• Regulation, this must be a drawback from bitcoin that must be taken into account. Not all countries accept bitcoin as a legal mean of payment because the government legally prohibit it. Adobsize will affect many of these thing and regulation will hinder the growth rate of bitcoin adoption in a country.

Few of the bounty hunter cared about the project they were promoting. After distribution we will see the market will burn because most of them throw away their token just because they want to enjoy the result of their work. On the other hand, trader take advantage of the situation as soon as distribution is made just to get more token from the seller. Trader charge a lower purchase price, and bounty hunter sell because they want to enjoy the result. So it's not entirely bounty hunter to blame, because trader also have sneaky trick in seeking profit. So if you believe the price will recover soon, then hold on and sell once you see that the pay is up to your job on the bounty.

Meanwhile, I still need both because of regulation. I cant use bitcoin as an official payment system because it is legally prohibited by the government. I can only trade bitcoin as a commodity asset in the market. Fiat is needed to measure my profits and spend it as the official currency.
Bitcoin still need more adoption in various countries as a payment system. To replace fiat globally, I think Bitcoin is still not able to because of many factor. Regulation, knowledge are two thing that continue to influence bitcoin as a legal payment system.

Due to regulation, I have to accept the fact that fiat will still be used as a payment system in many countries for a long time, especially in my country. I don't see any pressing issue at this point that fiat should be replaced by cryptocurrency as soon as possible. I believe people think differently than me and I have to understand that.

In the end, Manchester United had to lose through Aubameyang penalty kick. Very painful because MU was unable to perform better in the last 20 minute. Manchester United's inconsistency has raised doubt on many side, to be honest I firmly believe they won this game. But I lost and had to give up on the luck factor.

Meanwhile, we still have a match left today between Tottenham vs Brighton. I wish me luck here with Tottenham.

In general, merit are given to post that are of good quality, constructive and also useful. This is the point.

Each user has their own way of distributing their merit and that is very subjective. You and I have different point of view when it come to assessing the quality of a post. Sooner or later you will find out how the merit system work.


My advice for you.
1. Explore the potential that you have today and do well without having to push.
2. Post naturally and regularly.
3. Take a little time to study something that matche your interest on the forum.
4. Do it consistently without begging.
5. Try to engage in interesting and useful discussion, this will force you to gain more knowledge when you want to post.
6. Don't burden yourself just for merit.

There are many previously suggested ways to earn merit, and you deserve to try them. If other people can do it well, so can you. Don't imitate but learn.

In fact I have never had a problem like the OP asked me when I wanted to gamble. I often make transaction at the suggested fees and it doesn't make me have to wait for confirmation any longer. But for some reason, lately I've been using altcoin instead of bitcoin to prevent high fee. If I did, I would probably wait until my bitcoin were credited to the account. Just wanted to look a little relaxed without rushing to make a bet.

Yes, the cost options are helpful enough to get fast confirmation. I rarely use high fees and I usually prefer normal or slow fees as long as it's not in an urgent situation.

The first half ended goalless, but Arsenal almost took me by surprise. If you choose Manchester United tonight then you are not alone, I think Manchester United are the more favored although it is difficult to say they are consistent.

Of course, we don't have a good crystal ball to predict all the game with the right result. There is hope that MU will come out as a winner.

I think this suggestion is all too often cited as an attempt to secure campaign fund for bounty hunter. But in fact there are still quite a lot of manager who haven't implemented it because in my opinion they don't have enough fund to guarantee payment via escrow.

1. The manager does not guarantee that the bounty will be successful and that the payment will be made according to the procedure. There are several manager who want to be responsible for paying bounty participant and the rest only manage bounty and receive payment. A quality manager is highly recommended as it will be easy to identify good potential project.
2. It is the responsibility of all bounty participant, taking some time to analyze project detail is the recommended way when joining the bounty. Joining blindly would be a waste of time without getting paid accordingly.

But not for me. 226 Post found when I searched using #Bitcoin. What's wrong with you?

Try to relax a little, because you can still find relevant post if you use other #. In my opinion this is not anti-bitcoin activity by Facebook and it is possible that you have been banned from posting because it is irrelevant to you.
