4221  Economy / Economics / Re: Food prices doubled this year on: September 27, 2020, 05:37:11 PM
Abuse in the need for food is always there in my country as well as staple goods are often played by distributors because they want higher prices when there is a lot of demand but still, small people who need it are a situation like this is very necessary if the government is alert in dealing with this. Of course there will be no stronger government oversight than the people who have to protest about harassment like this.
Most of the government are silent in seeing this situation because they accept bribes from economic actor. I guarantee that almost all the needs handled by the government are manipulated and mocked. In poor countries, the government is also poor and that is why they accept bribes regardless of the welfare of the people. This happen very often at my place. The trade mafia is too powerful to silence government official.
4222  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trust USDT? on: September 27, 2020, 05:25:57 PM
USDT is one of the earliest stablecoins created and have always been among the top crypto in the market. But, there something in the ways the platform is run that is a bit doubtful. Maybe that is why it is a bit hot right now in the government and is being investigated. But anyway, whatever crypto in the market is a risk.
It is okay to trust USDT as one of the crypto asset whose price is supported by USD 1:1. I use it a lot in trading and USDT is generally used as a trading pair. But I have heard many accusation against them and that make it a questionable asset. In the crypto world, anything is possible and can change at any time. To be honest, I don't have much information so far regarding the USDT accusation, but it's good not to trust 100% as a completely safe asset.

It's natural to worry about something in particular about the security of account and valuable asset in the online world. Cryptocurrency is very valuable money and it is also an asset that some cyber criminal are most interested in. They look for loopholes to find hackable targets and they never stop. Maintaining security is mandatory and AV is necessary, but I agree with @tranthidung that healthy web surfing is paramount. AV will only increase security from virus attack and the right behavior will prevent us from getting caught in a trap.

Barcelona without Suarez I dont think there is a problem because we still have other player who can replace his role in the team. Ansu Fati might be the next mainstay even though he is still very young. I hope that Messi can help bring out the talent that is in Fati like he did to Neymar some time ago. Also Coutinho has had to help a lot this season after some time in Munich and hopes this time he feels better.

We really lost Suarez but we're still Barcelona and that's not going to change anything. Hopefully today's first match Barcelona can win and prove that they are candidates for this season with Ronald Koeman.

Sure, Inter Milan are strongest than atalanta, since I'm A Milan Fans, may better Atalanta being champions in Serie-A next season if AC Milan still can't woke up from his sleep Cheesy
The reason not because I don't like inter milan, but I like how Atalanta determine their perform last two season.
LOL, you have to dare to admit the truth, mate.  Cheesy

I am also a fan of AC Milan for a long time. I loved their game and the composition of the team in their heyday, but now I dont see them as a team that opponent fear because they have transformed themselves into an ordinary team. Too many coach changes and the player brought in couldn't do much to reach the top of the standing at the end of the season. Obviously I feel disappointed because it's one of the team I like.

Now I hardly see them playing every weekend anymore and only see the highlight after the game is over. A perfect start for them this season, their first win at the start of the season is a good sign and hopefully they can maintain and improve consistency.

Speaking of the pandemic edition, Chelsea has been beaten down by a single 4 minutes of the first half is still better but consuming two more goals 25,28 minutes respectively is not good. However, this happens in the game of football sometimes but I hope Callum Robinson will score a hat trick today.
It was really unpleasant to see Chelsea crushed in the first half by 3 goal. Robinson has the opportunity to score a hattrick because he only need 1 more goal to register his name as a hattrick scorer in the match.
Caballero failed to keep the net without conceding and I am sure the coach is very disappointed about this. I saw Kepa on the bench, why didnt Lampard give him a minute in this game ?
4227  Economy / Economics / Re: Why criminals prefer cash (Fiat) on top of crypto? on: September 26, 2020, 05:18:35 PM
I think it was pretty simple and obvious that criminals find it less hassle and pressure to work on doing criminal activities using fiat for they are more familiar with it compared to cryptocurrency that they are still in need to learn and understand about it. Using fiat is already the way they have used to be before the existence of crypto and they have already lots of ways to get out of trouble using fiat compared to crypto that they might get caught if they were not familiar on how they will execute illegal activities through it. The way those criminal people do not understand fully crypto makes it enough reason why they still prefer to use fiat rather than crypto.
It makes sense, though not all are the same. For most new people, hiding their identity in cryptocurrency is still very difficult and only requires them to learn it first. In my opinion, criminal dont really like thing that get them into trouble like hiding their identity through crypto transaction. All transaction are recorded on the network and if they want to be converted to fiat then KYC is still a barrier to hiding too. So, while it may still be hiding behind cryptocurrencies, I think there are still loopholes to find some crime involving illegal transaction with the help of exchange.
4228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do think about skill games? on: September 26, 2020, 04:20:23 AM
Its always nice when we have the chance to win as many bets as we can and thats a skill game. Skill-based game are quite challenging if you have a fairly reliable and hard to beat opponent at the table. I rarely bet on skill as I prefer luck-based game like dice, slot and sport. Even though skill can help to win, but in gambling there is no guarantee that we will win, especially when played online.

I would not believe that people with gambling skill can win more bet and thus get a lot of money. In fact, many of the people who experience big losses at the gambling table are those who have the skill to play. Skill does not guarantee victory, only to increase the chances of winning when playing.

I think I have had an almost your own experience when it comes to gambling. Before, I didnt really like gambling, but after getting to know gambling my interest in playing got out of hand. It is common to spend a lot of money without getting a balanced win because what we play is gambling. In fact I can say that I have no luck at all in gambling because there are more to lose than to win.

#4 just tells you when you post via email.

I don't see much of a problem with posts being deleted in a topic and you not being notified,
Of course and I have said it from the start. But in my opinion, we also encourage us to be notified by email or message when post and topic are removed, even though it is not mandatory. This can help us raise awareness about which topic should not be posted although some of them are almost certainly recognizable.

I have come across several case that the topic published on gambling discussion board is the topic that mod remove most frequently and so far I have been able to almost prevent post about topic that I think have the potential to be deleted.

I think there is a notification bot you can use for it (not sure what it is though).
Thanks jackg, but so far I havent tried any bot for getting forum notification.

TryNinja's bot allows one to track replies which were deleted along with the thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248878.msg54441882#msg54441882
If this is the last solution then I will explore and try to use it. Thank you Upgrade00. But I prefer the official one especially in term of forum.

I think the 4th box is to automatically turn on notifications for a thread when you reply on it. You can also manually turn it on for any thread by clicking the notify option at the bottom right of a thread page.
Sorry, I didnt pay attention. Whereas before I had often tried it manually. Thank again.
4231  Other / Meta / Deletion of topic and all user post. on: September 20, 2020, 05:35:00 PM
During this time I often find that the number of my post has decreased without me knowing it and I am sure some of you also feel the same way. I have no problem deleting a topic categorized as not feasible and it is a mod task.

I just want to ask why every post deleted along with its topic is not notified and can we apply the setting so we know that our post has been deleted ?

Have you ever tried checking point 4 and what does it do ?

4232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin such a big risk? on: September 20, 2020, 04:54:46 PM

In the context of investing, I think everything has risk and of course these risk can be minimized in the right way. In my opinion, bitcoin can be categorized as one of the asset to invest safely during a pandemic beside that we still have many other option.

But in reality, not everyone in the community and business people like bitcoin because of the risk. There are many consideration that potential bitcoin investor should pay attention to, especially for beginner and bitcoin investing is not suitable for experimentation for those who dont know how it work. Volatility is the main reason and safety the second, in my opinion. During this pandemic I only believed in two investment asset and that was bitcoin and gold.
4233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I'm scared of ethereum gas fee on: September 20, 2020, 04:20:56 PM
What if ether price goes up to more than $2000 dollars.. How will people or new cryptocurrency users be able to cope with the gas fee.
Have no fear because there are hundred of other altcoin option that can help you if the problem is about gas. If ethereum gas price continue to increase then I firmly believe that many cryptocurrency user will switch to other altcoin that have lower fee.

As I can see so far, the current gas price has been giving people tough time.
Of course, but it can still be reduced if user are not competing for large amount of gas. When many user want their transaction to be processed quickly, fee will go up and that is a factor why gas fee are getting more expensive. Network congestion in my opinion is for that reason and obviously if I charge a lower fee then my transaction will get stuck and slow to process.

And now who is to blame, is it the user or ethereum ?

As human, everyone has advantage and disadvantage. Although Messi is often the determinant of Barcelona victories, he is not always able to do his job well. He is absolutely the perfect player for Barcelona but he is getting old and his energy is not always stable. Hopefully this season Messi can still be the best player in the League. Looking forward to the first match for Barcelona versus Villareal next week.
4235  Economy / Speculation / Re: Who sets the bitcoin price? on: September 20, 2020, 03:20:22 PM
Thoughts about whales/organizations do have a solid foundation.
Obviously, large capital holders (both in bitcoin and in dollars and in mining capacities) can influence the market very strongly. Perhaps because of this, someone makes the erroneous conclusion that whales "own" the market.
The market does not belong to the whales but they often play with the price of bitcoin. Whales have the ability to improvise bitcoin price because they have a lot of capital. Supply and demand are thing that forever affect the price of bitcoin and it is trader who do.

I agree that exchange can manipulate bitcoin price within a certain range and we often hear that they also have fake volume and this is purely for the benefit of the organization itself.
4236  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My taught of plagiarism, spamming and scam in forum. on: September 20, 2020, 02:58:00 PM
Spamming and plagiarism is even worst when there is no merit system implemented, especially when signature campaign is still a thing the account farmers they post the exact sentence throughout their accounts, and creating a thread and using their other accounts to spam the topic using one sentence.

But atleast now i think the forum has been regulated well, and there are more members that are contributing quality topics to the forum.
When we are governed by the system, we definitely have to follow it and start learning how it work. Many user have turned into better member with higher ranking because they know thats how they can hit a target and many have to stick to their old position and habit of constantly posting spam.

To become an established and useful member we are never forced, but this is an impulse from within us who want to make the forum a place of origin for knowledge about crypto. Regarding plagiarism and copy-pasting, in my opinion some beginner dont know about the forum rules because they are too lazy to read. It has to be fixed and they have to know about the rules.

Pogba is a joke. He is talented but to say he is in top-class players. I am sorry he does not.

Pogba is over-priced and he is too selfish to play for his teammates. The time when Pogba played well is in Juventus but when he got very good supports from midfielder around him. Pirlo is one of them. Pogba is not a sort of key player that can carry a team.
Since he join from Juventus to Manchester United, I dont believe Pogba will be able to make the contribution that can take the team to the top and win the league. He does have talent as one of the big player, but I agree to say that he is too selfish and not a key player. It was a bad start for Manchester United because of the result, but it is not too late for them to make changes in areas that are still fragile as the season has just started.

You shouldn’t rely on Bitcoin, it’s a no – no for me, you shouldn’t be relying on anything ‘investment’.

These are meant to be your side means of income, even if you you’re lucky and the price goes and you make millions, you still shouldn’t feel relaxed and hope that it’s going to be the best option to rely on.

What if the price goes down and stay that way for a very long time? Huh What are you going to do about it, keep relying on the profit you made in the past? For how long? So man this is not something you should fully rely on, get another job Too.
Bitcoin should not be relied on by anyone as the only profitable investment asset. There are many more investment asset that investor can trust if they are looking for a profit. However, until now the number of enthusiast for bitcoin continues to grow and that will make bitcoin even stronger. Development is still badly needed and in fact bitcoin continues to benefit everyone here in the recommended way. The profit I mean is not only focused on the amount of profit you get but other benefit that we get from the existence of bitcoin. Convenience and transparency are some of the advantage we have with bitcoin.
4239  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: THE BOUNTY SPACE IN THIS CRYPTO PLATFORM IS TOXIC AND UNFAIR on: September 19, 2020, 06:10:54 PM
New hypes = new scams. Besides some of the very first ICOs out there, most of them ended up as scams or abandoned projects. It's quite obvious especially now as people only desperately keep looking for other ICO-like shapes of offerings so that they can earn a bag of bucks out of them. It's just so sad to see how many newbies still fall for them. Bounties are most of the time just you wasting your time promoting scams that scam you in the end as well.
The best solution right now for beginner is to stop promoting the bounty campaign which incidentally has proven to only make them disappointed by failing. I just didnt promise that I would never participate in the bounty again, but until now I have not been interested in joining the bounty again because I was too disappointed some time before.

Some of the current bounty still pay bounty hunter and these are very limited. Joining a bounty without in-depth analysis is just a waste of time and its true. I hope beginner can realize all of that and start thinking about how to sort and choose which bounty campaign are good and worthy to be promoted. Joining without any consideration will only make them disappointed.

I'm completely agree with your thought . I think it too . Liverpool is  searching a new talent . I think they  have  a long-term plan . so that they are try to finding a new talent . agree with you that Kabak is not a star but he is potential . He have the ability . If he working hard , hope he will do something better
He is young and 20 years old. I think Liverpool will have other talented young player in the team if they manage to persuade Schalke to let go of Kabak who is valued at ± £ 25 million. As reported, Kabak is not one of the star player, but he is projected as a coating for other big player on the team. His young age still allow him to become a major player if he is able to compete in the next few season with other defender.
