You can do what I do and buy the drop.
Start with an amount of fiat your comfortable losing just like when you gamble. For the sake of example let’s say $30,000. Then guess what you expect the bottom to be, let’s say btc/usd rate of $10,000.
At a btc/usd of $10k you buy $2k worth.
At a btc/usd of $9k you buy $3k worth.
At a btc/usd of $8k you buy $4k worth.
I’m sure you see where this is going now.
Then you sit on the btc and mess with people on the forum while constantly monitoring the btc/usd rate and the news.
Then you see the climb back up happening. You start selling at $11k.
At a btc/usd of $11k you sell $2k worth of btc.
At a btc/usd of $12k you sell $3k worth of btc.
When you get to 25% of your original btc holdings left then you stop selling and try to guess the top based on the slowdown of the frenzy and sell the rest of your holdings.
Rinse & repeat.

That’s too funny. This week you’ll be making $900. Next week $200. The week after $1,100 then $300. If they are going to give people the equivalent of their salary in btc, those people may never know if they can pay their monthly bills by the time they cash out to pay them.

I gave all my smerit away to some guy who told a bitconnect fanboy to deepthroat a shotgun  <okay, I guess I'll use by 20Kth post here> Dude, do you have any idea what would happen to dude's rectum if conducting such? Me neither, but here's to hopin' it's recorded and uploaded on YouTube for our viewing pleasure. Still wish I could trade my sM for some CBH to go with my eggs for breakfast this morning. Meanwhile, +1 sM to Crestington. We talk about getting some CBH and the other people on the forum probably just think we’re nuts. LOL Speaking of nuts, have you talked to Matthew “let’s make a bet” Wright lately? I saw him posting on a few other boards for a while after he left here then *poof* he was gone. Didn’t he want to be an actor? I expected to see him starring in some made for Madagascar TV movie by now. ROFL |

i care about my rank, because i need money for bounty and i need a knowledge about cryptocurrency. if you can help me about it please telling me some word. i hope i can much to learn about this forum.thanks before QA
I’m sorry but I can’t help you. You need to read the rules of this thread to understand why. I am trying not to help people with other languages that I don’t understand. There are people in the Indonesian local subsection that can help you. You need to ask them for help. Saya minta maaf tapi aku tidak bisa menolongmu. Anda perlu membaca aturan thread ini untuk memahami mengapa. Saya mencoba untuk tidak membantu orang dengan bahasa lain yang saya tidak mengerti. Ada orang di wilayah Indonesia forum lokal yang dapat membantu Anda. Anda perlu untuk meminta bantuan dari mereka. Good grief, I’ve created a monster from Indonesia. LOL |

I don’t know if this is wrong to do. I don’t care if I get negative trust for doing this because I don’t buy anything here, sell anything here, join signature campaigns or post routinely in threads that even show the trust rating. Essentially I don’t make money here so I don’t use trust anyway.
I think you're not guilty of this, it is your right to sMerit that you have for anyone you want and you deem worthy of being rewarded. and here I'm very grateful that you have done the right thing by not selling sMerit just for your personal interests. And this is also the wish of theymos not to abuse sMerit. Especially if you were chosen to make Merit out of nothing. I'm very supportive of you That’s very nice to hear. Thank you I need to hear things like that to make me keep doing this because this has been far more work than I thought it would be. |

Tolong agan agan me riview jangan lupa agan kasih saran lagi
Aku tidak berbicara bahasa Indonesia. Saya tidak dapat membantu Anda. Maaf Type of guy who never reads entire thread. I'm sure he came from our Local Thread. Me and some another members was already to reject it last night... I told to him, back to next week with his another posts. If he's too screwed up to get merit ( and he doesn't fix its to improve his quality). I suggest to banned this guy.. Maybe, but I don’t get involved in that. Many people here are young and impatient. Try to keep helping him and make him understand. If he does something against forum rules point that out to your local mod. |

Am I the only one who realizes that the ~ $ 1 charge for doing a transaction is completely insane and defeats one of the major benefits of bitcoin use for daily transactions.
It's going crazy and completely unwarranted, or am I wrong?
Now that’s something you don’t see every day. Why did you duplicate the OPs post almost word for word? LOL |
|
|

I don’t think I can help you because you almost need as much activity to move to Sr. Member as you do merit. I actually think it’s going to take longer for you to get the activity you need than the merit. You only have 224 posts. I probably did that last month alone. You're post quality is fine. You're helpful to newbies and participate in discussions. If you spend enough time posting to get the activity the merit will follow. You really need to spend more time here to rank up.
Thank you for the feedback  No problem and good luck to you. |

The Tether FUD is very strong as we can see, and it's having an impact on the price. Even if we crossed the $10,000 psychological barrier, it refuses to dip further tho. Analysists such as Tone Vays claimed that if we got below the $10,000 price we would crash to $7,500 and then start rebounding, but he has been wrong a lot of times, and it wouldn't be the first time we see a double bottom with a price recovery in Bitcoin so I wouldn't be too sure to simply short it to $7,500.. just hodl.
We’re below $10k right now. it's at $10,019 right now in Bistamp prices. It just keeps going up and down on that $10,000 line: The market is still undecided, it doesn't know if this should be the bottom and therefore the recovery, or just the beginning of the download to lower resistance lances. And before I posted this, It went to $9999, and now at $10,000.43...  We will keep flirting on this line until it's decided. Anything can happen. Just because it was crossed, doesn't mean the dips is guaranteed. I use the Bitcoin price ticker widget from coindesk simply because it’s always there and easy. It has today's low at $9,627.89. That’s a 29% drop for in January and a 50% drop since December. I don’t know what people think popping a bubble is but I don’t think it means dropping to zero, 50% is good enough. This is a normal cycle for bitcoin. It isn’t bad that it pops, goes down, crashes or whatever you want to call it because it never goes down to the level it was at before the run up happened. If it was at $10 and goes to $100 when it pops it will fall to $40 or $50. If it was $50 goes to $1,000, when it pops it will return to $500. People should look forward to the pop and do their best to buy the bottom. |

Last week I was introducing friend of mine into BTC, tried to send him 5 dollar in BTC using Mycelium, just for fun.
33 dollars was the suggested transaction cost. I'm doing non-segwit transactions on my Ledger for 5 satoshi's with confirmations in the first block.
Why are wallets setting such high fees ? Am I just getting lucky that my transaction aren't getting stuck (all the time) ?
Is this also the reason were having this transaction debate, bad fee management ?
Also: When I do a transaction, blockchain.info list my transactions as unconfirmed while they are already confirmed, what's up with this ?
Thx
Bruru
The major mining consortium members are pressuring development into keeping the blocksize small because it creates a fee market advantageous to the miners. A blocksize increase would allow more transactions to happen at once. This would mean transactions would confirm even with smaller fees. Devs (because they’re gutless pussies afraid their baby will break its leg on the park swing waited too long to act) now have to fear implementing anything using a “hard fork”. Using a hard fork means changing something so ingrained into the bitcoin protocol that a sort of “system reboot” is necessary to make it happen. That’s because everyone in the world will need to update their software all at once. This is like telling everyone in the world using MasterCard to throw away their card and get a new one today. Mycelium and Ethereum don’t mix and play well with blockchain.info. Use this to check on transactions instead: https://blockexplorer.com |

Do not beg for merit excessively. s/excessively/at all—ever/ The merit system is a promising idea. But it will only work if we develop a strong cultural expectation that merit will only be awarded for meritorious posts. Requests for merit must be declared extreme rudeness, a forum faux pas. Such a thing is fit only for social opprobrium, derision, sneers, and shunning. In most cultures, fishing for compliments is viewed as something between boorish and unthinkable. Asking for merit is worse, because it may accrue monetary value due to signature campaigns. It is like begging a professor for a top grade, instead of doing work worthy of earning a top grade. By contrast, those who have something worthwhile to say will take pride in earning merit the normal way: By making posts which others find valuable. Whereas those who have nothing worthwhile to say, as such have nothing to add to the forum. For my part: Nobody who ever asks me for merit will ever get any from me—period.
P.S., all the whiners complaining about the merit system ipso facto thus demonstrate that they are incapable of writing meritorious posts, and therefore worthless to the forum. Make good posts, and people will notice. Or shut up.
Edit: Added the paragraph about people taking pride in earning merit the normal way. +1 sM because I love your command of the English language. I even learnt something. PS: Due to all the excitement, I'm not sure if that's the first time I doled sM due to actually liking the post's content where most, if not all, of previous sM allocations were gifted for humor et al. purposes. Aside: There are no asides. Edit: Reserved for edits. Calvo turpuis est nihil comato: Practicing my Latin while eating my Reuben in case I ever meetup with CBH again. Testing my Latin: Cogito, ergo sum dignum merito. Well that worked out swell. I receive +1 sM from a user on record in stating that none would be doled out to beggars which is exactly what I did, albeit in Latin [and tongue in cheek] with " Cogito, ergo sum dignum merito." Next stop: Klingon.  Thanks kindly, nullius. CBH just gave you merit. Unfortunately, his merit is invisible so it won’t do a damn thing for you. |

This is really a very nice initiative QuestionAuthority you have started it. It will help many people who are missing those points to move up the ladder when they think they deserve to get some points and also it is an inspiring for the other fellow members that with spreading of the knowledge whatever they have learnt till now or to imbibe the knowledge during the course of time and start distributing to people who require on this forum or outside this forum. As coming from the country where it is not considered to be legal yet and coming from the town where electricity is still not full available 24 hours its being a hard journey but I would say the experience has being good so far. Though would have fractional % of knowledge of this gigantic world of cypto currency but wherever and whatever way possible trying to put my point and share the knowledge. Also few posts do belong to Altcoin section as well in case if it still fits the criteria below is the posts link. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1074529;sa=showPostsYou have an interesting history. You are just as likely to visit altcoin threads as bitcoin threads but are more likely to attempt to convince people to buy btc in the altcoin threads. Obviously you support bitcoin. I know you’re trying to become more fluent in English so I will try to make this easy to understand. Because of one of your posts, I’m going to ask you this question. Why are some bitcoin transactions cheap and get the first confirmation fast and others are expensive and slow to be confirmed? There are couple of reasons to this as per my understanding :- Segwit adoption is now rising and with the introduction of lightning network the transaction are getting confirmed faster and cheaper. Hash power has being increased in the last week. For those who had not used the segwit had to pay the higher network fees as the unconfirmed transaction where huge and if they reduce the satoshi/byte than they would have to wait for a longer period for the transaction confirmation. Lightning Network is only minimally active. It’s not having a huge effect so far. I was actually looking for a more simple answer. The blocksize limitation is effecting the network because growth is outpacing development. Mining is how bitcoin transactions are confirmed. Miners choose the transactions they accept based on the size of the fee (they want to take the highest fee transactions first because they make more money) and the size of the transaction. Transaction priority is based on a few factors, including the fee amount and transaction size in bytes. The larger the transaction size the higher the fee you will need to add to your transaction. Most bitcoin wallets today use a dynamic fee structure, so you don’t need to worry about calculating your own fees. You asked for help in understanding how fees work in one of your posts so I thought I would see if you ever got an answer. That’s the real reason I’m questioning people. It’s not really to test their knowledge. It’s to find out if anyone is ever eventually helping them. Awarded 20 merit Thank You for mentioning so much things in minute details about the transactions confirmations and fees. It is definitely helpful to me as well to others users who may have a broader aspect of it as many people not be form the technical background and this perhaps solves the problem and also makes the understand more better than before. The actual fee structure is much more complicated than that. That was the least I could say and have it still mean something. The most important thing you can really do at this point is to make sure you are using a wallet that helps you pick what fee is correct at the particular time you are sending a transaction. A good wallet will include an option to allow you to attach a fee big enough to have the transaction included in the next couple of blocks. That will make your transactions happen faster while saving you the most money. Someone that doesn’t know an incredible amount about how bitcoin works will ever be capable of calculating their own fee. It’s silly for the average bitcoin user to even attempt to determine current network congestion and Satoshis/byte they’ll need to pay before they send a transaction. Unfortunately, when you ask a question like that here sometimes you are asking people that do know how to do it and you get an answer that really won’t help you. You want to use this forum and actually participate and that’s a good thing. I want you to learn by asking questions and challenging the answers. That’s how you will enjoy being on this forum and gain rank without realizing it. Many people on local boards are using the English language sections to help them learn to use a second language. That’s good. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s not. More people (especially Americans) should learn a second language. It would help them become better world citizens. |

You’re right, women do have a unique perspective and it would add to the conversation but people have to understand also that women are prey for men. Revealing yourself as a woman can be troublesome on some forums and even dangerous. If men didn’t act like fools then outing yourself wouldn’t be a big deal, but look at some of the responses in this thread. Some of these fools may as well tell the world that they think women are stupid vending machines that sandwiches come from.
Eh? Women are prey for men? Are you jocking? You seem a very intelligent person, as I read in these days some of your post and I liked very much your approach (I didn't write to you because "to beg" is not in my vocabulary), but in this case you are deadly wrong. In all history, even the most strongest leaders of the past (Julius Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon,...) were actually victimized by women. Women are in charge, men are just resources. And the real prey. :-) In 2011, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that one women out of every five in the United States suffered attempted rape or rape sometime in their life. More than a third of the victims were raped before the age of 18. A CDC study found that, in the US, 1 in 71 men had been raped or suffered an attempt within their lifetime. |

I don’t have much Merit to give but I’m going to give it up until it’s all gone. I’m not sure if this is the right section for this thread because I’m not really selling anything. It’s about accounts so I’ll just leave it here until someone decides to move it. I don’t know if this is wrong to do. I don’t care if I get negative trust for doing this because I don’t buy anything here, sell anything here, join signature campaigns or post routinely in threads that even show the trust rating. Essentially I don’t make money here so I don’t use trust anyway.
I felt sorry for SOME of the members that posted in the merit thread. They seemed to be fairly articulate, fairly knowledgeable, rational and really trying to be members of this group of dreamers (community).
Here’s how it’s going to work. You’re not just going to beg for merit and I give it. Do not PM me and offer to pay me for merit points. Your money means nothing to me. I have given away more bitcoin than you will likely earn while on this forum (just ask Gleb Gamow if you don’t believe me). I will report you to a mod that will give you negative trust for being a potential scammer. You will ask me to research your post history and direct me to 10-20 posts that you believe show you have a deep desire to learn about, use, and support bitcoin. I will then ask you a couple of questions about how bitcoin works and you will answer them. I don’t care if you take some time to research the answer if you come up with the correct answer. That just means I’ve made you learn more about bitcoin than you knew previously.
Bitcoin does not mean altcoin. I know altcoins are more popular on this forum than bitcoin. I don’t care. I will only help bitcoiners level up. If most of your post history is in altcoin threads I won’t help you. I do not consider Bitcoin Cash to be bitcoin. If you don’t know what the real bitcoin is then you haven’t been here long enough for me to help you. Which leads me to the group I’m willing to help.

New members, Newbies, Jr Members and Members don’t need any merit. They don’t have enough post history to judge so I won’t be helping them.
Full members, Sr. Members and Hero Members really got screwed with the merit system. Some of them were really close to leveling up and now have to wait until they’ve impressed the right person to probably get only one merit point from them. The most extreme case of this is Hero Member. They may need hundreds of merit points to level up which could take a very long time to get.
You will be working for 20 merit points. Good luck to all. I will announce when they’re gone and lock the thread.
Are you sure what you are doing? however I rarely post in bitcoin discussions. I usually post on an economic thread, but I've learned a lot about bitcoin and if you want to ask me a question about bitcoin, I'm ready to answer it. But I need time, because I'm not always in this forum, I have another job I have to finish. Thanks I can’t read some of your posts because they are in a local sub so I don’t understand what you’re saying. You seem to be posting mostly in gambling, mostly short one or two line responses and don’t seem to have a really good grasp of bitcoin quite yet. It appears you are only posting at all to meet the minimum requirements of your signature campaign. That could be just a language barrier but it’s difficult to tell because I don’t speak Indonesian. I’m afraid I can’t help you. Sorry |

Hi QA, what if I direct some Newbies / Jr. Members to you that I find making solid posts? They might not be familiar enough yet with all the little parlor rooms this forum has, hence they may never find your offer.
If I can direct your attention to a few Newbies / Jr. Members you can swoop in like Peter Pan and gift them some hope for reaching Neverland.
Sound good?
No, I’m only helping Full Member and above. Below that and they really don’t need merit yet. By the time they have the activity to reach Full Member, if they’re doing it right, they will already have plenty of merit. |

I really appreciate the idea! Since I joined the forum in 2015, I've been supporting and believing in Bitcoin as well. Just a look at my profile will let you seeing it After the fork of BTC last year, I exchanged a few BTC to BCC, but still somehow, I've been more believing in the future of the original Bitcoin (well I read an article yesterday where someone was claiming that BCC is the original Bitcoin - that would be an other topic  ) Regarding Alts, I wish really I would have known more about Alts, I still get everyday customers who want to pay me in Alts which I currently just don't support. And with the very fast evolving technology, there is a high risk that it changes significantly by the time you catch up, not to speak about the speculations around all these Alts. But as I'm always saying, it's just like religion - You believe and have faith in something or not. Last year around July, the BTC market was ~ 100 billion and now fit ~ 172 billion.. Let's see what the future will bring us Selling products and services for btc is one of the best ways to create value for bitcoin. I’ll give you a head start but you will need to become more active before you will rank up. 20 merit awarded |

There are too many men here. Only women should be allowed to post in this thread. I’ve never met a man that really understood why women do anything.
Men are one dimensional creatures, similar to parasites, that only live to eat and reproduce. Women are civilized human beings.
Nice way of putting it, lol. But yeah, I agree with you, I'd like to hear the female perspective on this issue. It's a big problem if women do not adopt Bitcoin as it goes mainstream. Of course, the women posting here are among those that have adopted Bitcoin, but their perspective on their female peers would be insightful. Best, Ben You’re right, women do have a unique perspective and it would add to the conversation but people have to understand also that women are prey for men. Revealing yourself as a woman can be troublesome on some forums and even dangerous. If men didn’t act like fools then outing yourself wouldn’t be a big deal, but look at some of the responses in this thread. Some of these fools may as well tell the world that they think women are stupid vending machines that sandwiches come from. |
