I don't know of any country that citizens have started living normally, even in countries that handled the pandemic well and have pretty low number of new cases, there's still restrictions and many measures/guidelines to prevent covid-19 spreading, that's the same case in your country Indonesia and I'm pretty sure there's no total lockdown in Indonesia, so it's almost the same situation with other countries.

Indonesia has a total of 236,519 cases and daily cases rising above 3k, so the covid numbers are still high. It's a sad situation not only in your country, but everywhere in the world, take a look at the unemployment numbers in the U.S, but it is what it is and hopefully a vaccine will be in circulation soon and things can maybe fairly return to normal by 2021.

Holders on the ethereum network are expectant of the launch of eth 2.0 and it has already been delayed for long, but that being said, I doubt people will dump their eth, if 2.0 isn't launched this year. Ethereum price is doing very good now and even if eth 2.0 is not launched this year, I think people will use the chance to accumulate more ethereum, till version 2.0 is launched (which will prolly set a very good price appreciation in motion)
It's possible, I'm sure the developers are working to make it a possibility this year, but it's been delayed in the past, so I'll not be surprised if we have to wait till 2021 for ethereum 2.0.

So that's about 26 and 8 reported sexual assault allegations for both Trump and Biden respectively, but is there even anything to discuss in all of this, they are going to deny the claims and the supposed victims do not even have that much of a sufficient proof to argue their case, even in court. Being Democrats doesn't also proof that those women are actually making legitimate accusations nor does it exempt them from accusations of possibly being bribed to make this allegations of sexual assault.

As for Kamala Harris, I think she'll obviously take Biden's side that he is not guilty of any of this sexual allegations, i don't think there's any possibility of her pulling out of the race alongside Biden due to all this, and even in the bigger picture, this will also not affect their strength in vying for president and vice of the United States of America.

There is a reason why people think of Bitcoin that way, and to say the least, the reason is somewhat genuine, People want to know if Bitcoin can be regarded generally as a "safe haven asset" and if they can hedge their funds from devaluation and inflation using Bitcoin, that's the main reason why when 'traditional aseets' are falling during a crisis or major govt decision such as printing money from thin air, Bitcoin (gold/silver too) gets into the picture, and imo, I don't see any problem with it at all, it's btw helpful in btc adoption and in the process a win win for us all.

Bitcoin being decentralized and different from the kind of money people have come to use and understand provides a different sort of opportunity for it's users, this year for example, have seen many corporations (MicroStrategy for example) adopt Bitcoin, converting their fiat to btc and making it their reserve asset, and that's because they believe "Bitcoin can save them" and their aseets from devaluation. Big firms have bought into this idea, which is indeed true and worth any risks they and their shareholders are taking converting millions of dollars to Bitcoin.

Tl;dr, anti-inflationary (decentralized) assets like Bitcoin will always gain more traction when centralized money and economy plunges (or in a cisis situation) cause of the opportunity it provides to hedge against inflation/devaluation.

It's been happening in my country too (and many parts of the world) were women come out to accuse prominent individuals or just when a person is about to vie for a political/social position of rape/sexual assault, it somewhat weakens the argument on the part of the supposed rape victim, cause proving a rape incident after more than a decade you claim it happened is as good as zero and why the person only decided to speak up 'now' is another question. Many of this accusations is only directed at defaming the character of the accused, I'm not saying they cannot be true, but c'mon, 26 allegations levelled against one person looks more like random people are just cooking this up (due to hate) or being paid to slander the accused everywhere on the internet.

In Biden and Trump's case, it's even more difficult to form an opinion, when you're making an accusation against the POTUS or a guy vying for that position, it's immediately discarded as a political/payed move, and tbh most of it is. This or anymore accusation before the November election will have zero effects honestly and everyone will move forward after a few days 'furore'.

What that means is the update will come after todays own (the next one)

+1 to everything in the op, but I'd like to add that it's also possible to avoid (prevent) the second case if Bitcoin users do not go about telling people that they own Bitcoin, many times when that is done, the person is already attracting attention to themselves and an incident of a $5 wrench attack becomes possible. It's a topic the community has discussed severally, see: why it's important to avoid telling everyone about your crypto holdings.

People think being a Bitcoin holder means you are a multimillionaire, even if you have just a few sats; passphrases is a good layer of extra security, but users should start first with keeping their Bitcoin holdings private.

Trofo the thing is Thiago Alcantara has only a year left in his current contract with Bayern Munich, which they are willing to extend, but if I remember correctly, Thiago already informed the club months back that he is looking for a new challenge somewhere else. Liverpool are obviously a very good team that can give Thiago the new experience he desires, with all the trophies klopp and his boys have won in the last two seasons, I think it's a very good decision.

Bayern on the other hand, had to sell based on Liverpool's price which is why the amount seems low, it is either they do not sell now, or Thiago leaves for free at the end of the season, so it's somewhat a win win for all parties, maybe slightly except for Bayern Munich, but they wouldn't mind, the boy has given them his best all the years he was at the Allianz Arena.

Bidens agenda looks good on paper, but the thing is if he'll be able to achieve half of the things in his manifesto in the next four years, if he is elected POTUS. when Donald Trump was campaigning to be president for the first time, there were numerous things he had promised to do and didn't or hasn't done till this time.

This is one very defining election in the U.S., with the pandemic and all, United States needs a president that'll focus on more important things than the current war with China or issuing policies that are only political with no benefit on the economic/micro level. Tensions have risen so much in the U.S. this year for different reasons, which Trump didn't address efficiently, imo what the U.S needs to move their economy out of it's present state is a calm headed president who will listen to the expert officials around him and issue orders that will only be beneficial to the entire country, not just the wealthy and definitely not just to display military strength.

Bounty projects are not moderated by this "platform", though the community tags managers and teams of scam projects, who make exit scams and do not pay bounty hunters, but that's pretty much 'medicine after death' cause your time and effort will prolly have been wasted by then already. Instead of making this long post on this, you better come to the realization that bounties are not profitable anymore and it's never too late to change your mindset and start contributing to the community, many legendary accounts you see on the forum also started with bounty projects, but have long stopped it and made their mark in the community, you can follow their blueprint.
That thread containing a list of good bounty projects isn't bad, but bounty hunters or investors can't lean on that, bounty tokens are predominantly pump and dump coins, and can only be good for a very short time, and that's not enough to brand them safe or good projects.

Did you use those four emails of yours to register on any (the same) site, or for any airdrop, project or whatever. If you received exactly the same scam mail, then it's prolly from the same set of scammers. Your emails have prolly been sold in the black market, that's why you have received this mail from the scammers who are now in possession of your email address. They claim to have a ransomware installed on your device, ignore the message and discard those emails going forward.

That being said, do not use your emails on untrusted sites, and try as much as possible to use unique emails if you must do, scammers can send you a malware link through your email address or try to get your password through brute Force.

Cadaver you have a good topic lists about DeFi projects generally, and it's good for users who have invested or maybe are planning on doing so, without actually understanding DeFi very well. That being said, tbh, investors will prolly not avoid losing their assets on DeFi by reading about it, many of DeFi investors are just going after the hype. Quite a number of the DeFi projects have crashed already, some pumped quite high and dumped twice as fast as they pumped, investors are pretty much privy to the numbers, but despite all the scams, the hype is still alluring to them, mind you that many more will continue to lose their funds, till the hype dies down (like the case with icos/ieos).

And tbh mocacinno has nothing against you as well, it just happens that your thread was used as a reference to discuss the bigger issue on merit giveaways (everyone of them and the ones to be done in the future). It could prolly have been another giveaway thread used, but it doesn't change anything, the discussion is on what the community thinks about giveaways and not what it thinks about your giveaway.

To give my own two cents on the matter, we know it's impossible for merit giveaways to be stopped, it's not technically against the rules, but if it's necessary, is something to be debated on, I don't have to request a newbie to submit links to their post history before giving merits to them, if a user with smerits spots a newbie making good posts, you can simply just go through their post history and merit their good posts without starting any giveaway thread. Imo, it's pretty much better that way, and that being said, I think a newbie will appreciate a merit earned outside a giveaway thread, 'giveaway' sounds like you're getting it for free, with no work.

In coindol news' case the warnings were as much as their BS publications, and if you know how many of that coindol news posts on the press section, you'll agree that it was sufficient warning for them to change how they bring their news to this community. A user (in this case bot website) that gets all their posts deleted all the time, yet the user made no complain about it, to find out why their entire publications were deleted all the time, but just continued posting all the same BS (from zero posts most times) doesn't care about anything on the forum, and prolly knew they were doing something wrong, and didn't care to change cause they felt they'll not be banned.
+1 to that, the press section already has no traffic, and the little it gets is spam to say the least. The websites who spam the press section already have their site, so there's no need to 'advertise' their website on btt. Or it could be included to the rules of that board for users to include to the content of their sources, some original information that'll cause discussions.

I do not know if it's a permanent ban, but that user coindolnews was famous for posting BS that always got deleted, IIRC, that user most times gets the whole of their posts deleted by the moderator, prolly mods have decided to ban, nuke or tem ban that user. See this thread complaining about coindolnews' BS posting activities made by LeGaulois: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5253793.msg54573547#msg54573547
If it's a temporary ban, yes the account will be restored when the ban time elapses, but for the BS publications made from that account, no, not at all, it's spam and it wouldn't be restored nor do we need any more of it in the forum (mostly on the press section).

20% profit is pretty high, will I sell if I get that high a profit on any of my assets, maybe/maybe not, it depends on so many factors privy to only me. Why I wrote the sentence before this is because it's your decision to make, the 'factors' I mentioned earlier differs individually, you will have to assess yours on a personal level and decipher/come to a conclusion on what's best for you.

If it was prolly a shit/pump and dump coin, I can give you an advice to sell, but ethereum has done pretty much well for a long time now and with eth 2.0 at hand, there could actually be a reason to hold your eth longer, even if you have a 20% profit ready to be cashed out, but that being said, this is still not an advice to hold, read the first paragraph and decide for yourself what you want to do.

Yes it is perfect for so many reasons, feel free to express yourself on your local board too. I believe you want to learn about Bitcoin and also have plans to accumulate for yourself in the process, so I'm recommending this thread for you: Custodial vs non custodial wallets. You'll definitely need a wallet, so always use non custodial wallets (that way you own your private keys)

I know you're new, but I want to summarize some important points for you, so you can secure yourself in your Bitcoin journey. "Anything that is too good to be true" is a scam, for example Bitcoin giveaways (stay away), if you want to download a wallet to use, follow through the official website, keep your private keys to yourself, be careful of malwares (don't click on links anyhow) etc, there are many more, but you'll learn about them as time goes on, this is just a few of the things newbies fail to learn and get scammed, so I'm giving you a heads up, and finally, you can ask questions in this forum before 'testing the waters'/taking a step you are not too sure of, it has helped me and many others, it will help you too.

Welcome mate.

Exactly, I can't understand the reason why Victor Font made that statement, Xavi is not an established manager and it'll make sense if he said he'll prolly try to bring back pep Guardiola to camp nou if he becomes president, but Xavi, really I don't know if that's a move in the right direction for Barcelona. Koeman on the other hand will feel more like a caretaker manager this season, I feel bad for him.

The hierarchy at camp nou have been atrocious for some years now, filled with bad coach selection, poor transfers etc, that's the reason Messi wanted to leave this season, if they continue in this direction, they will pull this great club down.

It's pretty much obvious why, you have only 'bounty report posts'.
You can get them on any board or sub-board, except the bounties (altcoin) section, where almost all your posts are.
The assistance/answers you have above.
