Second, do you know some famous crypto fanatics whose giving some good tips about crypto trading which I can follow and learn from?
I personally do not know of any, and I wouldn't even go in search of one, as a returnee be careful with people who say they are experts and most times own trading groups on telegram and even convince people to give them coins to trade for them(once your coins is in someone else's hands, it's no longer yours). So do not believe any of such people nor put all your hopes in their trading signals or strategies, you are better of starting from scratch and learning tips and trading strategies all by yourself.

I've been thinking a lot how can you guys knows a lot about bitcoin, its economic effect, its technicalities etc.,
It's not everyone in the forum that's filled with that knowledge you know, a lot of us are still like you, trying as hard as possible to catch up and know as much as possible. A lot of users you see exhibiting perfect knowledge of the network/technology have being involved for a longer time than others, though not always so, some simply have more technical knowledge, and it's nothing unusual, even if a classroom, some students tend to learn faster than others, they are already miles away before others start to grasp what the tutor is teaching.

I'm not rushing the process(i am a student like yourself)and i don't think you should either, with time you will be surprised at how fast you have assimilated wide areas of the network. As long as you're reading and willing to learn more, knowledge is assured.

It surprises me that the developed countries are finding it difficult to contain the spread of the virus yet the underdeveloped countries are puting out with low numbers figure like they got everything under control which obviously that's not the case.
I'm very sure the reason for this is that in those underdeveloped countries, testing facilities are not available/sufficient, they cannot match the number of tests run per day in the more civilized countries in Europe, so when you're not testing citizens, the number will look unrealistically small as it is now. I'm sure if the number of tests run in America or Italy is done in one of this underdeveloped countries, they'll find out how much of a problem they have in hand, but blindly do not know.
If the season is to start again I think it would be in June & July when I presume the lockdown will be over or at least eased up a lot. I don’t think the restrictions we’re currently under will be here in June & July.
Is it even possible for the lockdown to be over in June or July, I do not think that's possible, it could be eased down to a "safe" extent to restart the economy a little bit, but extreme caution would be put in place, restarting the league would sadly be going against extreme caution.

5025  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to know is someone real and trusted for Bitcoin trading? on: April 18, 2020, 04:59:09 PM
My Question Is, How to trust someone in Bitcoin Transaction?
There is no way to be sure someone is trustworthy, but taking a look at a users trust profile can provide some information about the users trade history in the past, to know if transactions held with other users went perfectly. But this cannot guarantee you to trust that user, and for example some users do not have any trust feedback in their trust page(no negative or positive) so just use a trusted escrow service in the transaction, that is the only way imo to be sure you'll not lose your funds.
5026  Other / Meta / Re: A child board for qualifying threads in Beginners & Help board on: April 18, 2020, 11:49:59 AM
Many good threads and guides in B&H do not even receive up to the "twenty qualifying merits". I don't think this child board is needed tbh, what's the purpose of moving a thread to a child board if for example it takes about a week to get twenty merits, it would already have been seen by almost everyone on the main board, and moving it will serve no purpose imo.

Just as o_e_l_e_o has said, reporting low quality posts to the moderators is still the best, it will be deleted and the good/average threads/guides remain in the main section.

How about we discuss what the poll is asking. Where will be Pochettino’s next job?

He’s been out of work for a while now, I presume he’ll be well rested & ready to work again soon. 
The probability for him to MU is slim at the moment because the board seems happy with Ole's performance. I think they had enough of "outsiders."
I'm surprised alot of people are linking pochettino with united, I do not even think Ole can be relieved of his duties just for united to replace him with pochettino. Mauricio isn't a world class manager, and he doesn't have any trophies to his name, so imo he's not even worth sacking Ole for.

Solskjaer was also getting things right with United, other than Liverpool they are the other team this virus killed their momentum, they were on a winning streak that looked set to give Ole another season in the theatre of dreams, I think that wouldn't change anyway.
5028  Other / Meta / Re: Domain name update on: April 17, 2020, 07:36:13 PM
To clairfy is there a co-ownership of both domains still or is one just owned by a single entity from now on?
Theymos owns bitcointalk.org, Cobra owns bitcoin.org, neither of them(theymos and cobra)has access to the domain name owned by the other.
<...Therefore, we decided to separate the domains: I no longer have any access to the bitcoin.org domain name, and Cøbra no longer has any access to the bitcointalk.org domain name. The two sites should be viewed as totally separate, which in practice they have been for years.

It looks like Leroy Sanés transfer to FC Bayern München is getting closer. The usually good informt Daily Mirror Manchester football correspondent David McDonnell reports that Bayern is willing to pay about €80m for Sané. He also reports that Sané's managment is interested in getting the deal done.
I think this transfer is possible, I read somewhere the other day about Leroy sane's agent saying sane is interested in the move to Germany, as Bayern Munich is a team he can achieve champions league success with. Tbh I want to see Leroy play for City for at least another season, Bayern Munich aren't the team they used to be and if not that City are banned from the next two UCL's, I'll tip them to win their first UCL title before Bayern wins again.

With the price Bayern are offering and Sane's desire to leave, I don't see anything stopping this deal going through, City will definitely miss him, but with Mahrez and Sterling available, it won't be much.
5031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 16, 2020, 05:44:01 PM
CR7 is the main reason why I'm following Serie A and according the new Juventus have reportedly reached a decision on the future of Cristiano Ronaldo after the recent speculation linking him with a return to Real Madrid. I believe transferring him to the Madrid could be the worst news for the Juventus fans
Ronaldo made the Italian league more popular and more marketable, so not just you, but many others fancied the league immediately Ronaldo went to italy. Ronaldo leaving Juventus for Real Madrid is a fake news, Ronaldo and "Madrid" no longer have mutual respect for each other and imo it's impossible for Ronaldo to return to Madrid.
Because, we have no cure and that 10k people could restart all of this once again and without the cure we will be right where we started. Sorry but no football for Italy and no football for the world for a little bit more while until we find a cure.
The isolation/lockdown method has been of good help in containing the spread of the virus, but you are right, without a cure for the disease restarting football, even life in general is going to be difficult(fearing a second outbreak). But if we're to wait for a vaccine/cure before football restarts, then I think we still have a very long time to wait.

I don't know how many people will have the gusto to keep a detailed track of Covid-19 and it's impact; it's a terrible/morbid experience everyone is going through. imo people will want to engage in activities that'll make them forget that there is a pandemic, things like learning new things/experiences, reading more and interacting with family; the news by the way is already filled with all this "negative" data.
5033  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing 1$ every day in bitcoin over the last five years on: April 16, 2020, 08:21:20 AM
I support this idea. It might be a good idea.It can be a process of getting rich. It can create a saving mindset.Anyone can keep the process of getting rich this way.But what will be the action if the price of bitcoin is reduced by the increase.
Do not expect to just get rich once you follow this strategy or as soon as you start investing in bitcoin, I'll quote a popular line and it's that: "Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme". If we are to assume that you are new, always remember that. Take for example OP gave an instance of five years using his strategy; that's how much patience you need as an investor. If you make getting rich quick your aim, I am afraid you will not be able to cope with the volatility of bitcoin(and you'll always be moved by FUD & panic)
5034  Other / Meta / Re: Should this kind of disgusting posting behavior be allowed? on: April 15, 2020, 05:48:34 PM
For the ads that this user is posting, if he is doing it wrongly or breaking any forum rule, you can report the post to the moderators, the mods would decide if the post should be deleted, and if he should be nuked or temp banned for it.

As for his asking questions to use them make up his articles, there are two ways to that, if he is picking the exact words(verbatim, plagiarising)used by users on his thread to write his article, then that's plagiarism, and if he ever posts that article on the forum, he'll be banned for it. But if he is able to draw knowledge from HQ replies of others and make out something from it using his own words based on his understanding of what he learnt here, then AFAIK, it's fine.
5035  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I'm a bitcoin beginner, should I buy this book? on: April 15, 2020, 02:46:49 PM
Yes but why 6,193.81 euro today and why not 10.000
Many reasons come to mind, one very conspicuous one is the current global crisis that is affecting the economy, loss of money and loss of jobs has led people to panic and sell off their bitcoin, to settle needs and when a large number of people sell and convert to fiat, there is less demand and it reduces the price. It would only go up when more people are interested in bitcoin(adoption), that would mean more supply and that'll result in an increase in price.
I mean it's price is changing too often. I read that bitcoin is like a bubble. Do you believe that some day it will worth 0$ or 100.000$?
The price changes often, it's due to volatility, and stability would come, but that will happen as time goes on.
A bubble? Not at all; if it is, it's a bubble that won't burst Grin
$0? That's not possible
$100,000? Too optimistic to expect that price

Edit:
Do you think that after the coronavirus crisit, the price will rise?
If I say yes, or if I say no; I'll just be speculating and it's a dangerous thing or message to pass on to newbies, they can be lured into investing wrongly. The price can rise before/after the pandemic is over, it can also fall more before the pandemic ends; nobody can accurately or correctly predict it.
5036  Other / Meta / Re: What will become of your BTT account if late on: April 14, 2020, 12:50:09 PM
I don't think we need to tag the dead, just to honor them is enough.
I didn't mean we should tag the dead, I was asking if the account ever becomes active on the forum(posting and carrying out other activities)what will be done?
...and I'd hope that this community can understand that sometimes account access may be given to family members, and its not nesscarily a cause for alarm, and specifically painting the account red probably isn't the best idea without verifying it first.
This is an answer to my curiosity, so you believe the account shouldn't be tagged red if it becomes active in the future?
5037  Other / Meta / What will become of your BTT account if late on: April 14, 2020, 12:26:06 PM
The support for a custom title for Bruno in this topicThanks Theymos, Bruno has VIP status and custom title was overwhelming and rightfully so, Theymos also did exactly as we requested:
In general, giving titles/badges to users who died is difficult/problematic. It's almost a sort of "KYC", since death is inextricably linked to one's physical identity. It also opens several cans of worms: for example, should the account be locked after the person died? If so, it prevents their heirs from accessing PMs or even selling the account (which is allowed). If not, then you'd have users actively posting while wearing "RIP" badges.

I'm not going to do it regularly, but I'll make an exception here and give VIP status & a custom title to Phinnaeus Gage and Gleb Gamow. However, I know that these accounts changed hands in the past, and maybe arrangements have been for this to happen again in the future; therefore, if either account ever posts in the future, I will remove this stuff from the account.
So I am curious, since there is every possibility that this users have handed down their account details to family members or others to use the forum for whatever activity they wished before they passed on; If a post should ever be made from that account, would it get tagged, as probably a hack on the account or account sale(allowed but frowned upon).

I also want to use this thread to ask: What plans do you have for your BTT account in the face of death, if faced with a life threatening illness or disease, and left with a particular period of time to live, are you going to hand over login details to family members(if so, what would you wish they use the account for)or would you "retire" the account for good?
5038  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Want to Know on: April 13, 2020, 11:31:09 PM
Do not take my advice as an investment strategy or plan to follow, make sure you research on your own and decide on what decision is best for you, despite that, I'll advice you to the best of my knowledge.

Bitcoin price is not "too low" right now, though you can seize the opportunity and accumulate coins, but do not do that with the halving at the back of your mind. Many of you noobs are too excited about the halving and I can see that with the amount of threads on the same topic in bitcoin discussion board. You should be forewarned that the halving may not have the desired effect you want it to. Accumulate coins to hold them far longer than the halving time, at least for your health, so you don't get a heart attack, and always "invest only what you can afford to lose"
5039  Other / Meta / Re: BAN THIS GUY - SICK PERSON - ADMINS TAKE NOTE!!! on: April 13, 2020, 03:33:46 PM
Thank you, it's the last straw for me this type of thing and it should not be tolerated anymore if the community do not act on this the we can't call our-self's a community anymore,  It's a downright disgrace to do something like this in my view and I am sure many others will share in this mindset.
There are a lot of trolls on the forum, many others have been banned(but not always for their trolling). You must understand that there is so much freedom of speech on the forum and theymos isn't ready to change that.

A very disgusting statement from that troll, but he won't be banned for that, at most the post will be deleted(thats a 50/50 chance), looking at the trust score of that account, no one should be concerned about anything he says. We just have to ignore them no matter how difficult it is and move on
5040  Other / Meta / Re: why hoarding Smerits? on: April 13, 2020, 02:50:52 PM
The merit sources are in the forum for complaints like this, users truly hoard their smerits and only theymos can do something about that(in the future as he said), but AFAIK merit sources do not hoard their smerits, they even run shut of smerits, spending their own "personal" smerits and few times starting threads seeking a refill from theymos. That gusto alone shows how willing they are to give out smerits and they are more than a handful on the forum.

If you know cases of merit selling, start a thread in reputation board. There is no visible decay on the forum and if users are leaving for other forums because they fail to rank up, then bye to them.

The merit system is different from the trust system, the merit system makes sure only good posters rank up, while the trust system is about trustworthiness or the opposite and finally making it 5 minimum smerits to be sent or received would be too easy and merit buyers can easily work their way around it without being caught; for example if your suggestion is implemented a user who's merited 20 different times is already up to 100 merits and a full member, too easy.
