Agree, a lot of members have proven it. They can reach Full member, Senior member, Hero member, even Legendary member. So, no doubt that the new merit system doesn't limit our chance to have a high-level rank. Now, it depends on us whether having the intention to rank up & doing harder efforts to make quality posts or just complaining & doing no efforts.

Yes, that's the key point. Don't make a post only for merits (personal purpose) but make a post to help others (public purpose).  

In this crisis time (mostly because of coronavirus), this condition really gives big effects on life, especially the activities. You are right that now, work from home, a study from home, and self-quarantine is being encouraged. We should decrease activities that are done outside the house in order to press and decrease the coronavirus spreading. However, is this the right time to teach about Bitcoin and crypto in relation to this condition? The answer may be "yes or no" because of some reasons. It will depend on the condition of each country and especially each person.

The reasons may be:
1. We can encourage the use of digital money so as not to frequently come into contact with fiat which is one of the media to spread coronavirus. But the problem is, can all countries use Bitcoin as a transaction tool? Moreover, only a few countries have legalized BTC as a means of payment. And of course, it takes a long time to create new rules related to payment systems with cryptocurrency.

2. We can encourage them to enter into the world of crypto (especially the introduction of Bitcoin) so that more people know and are interested in investing in crypto (especially Bitcoin). However, in fact, many people who currently need fiat to transact in their country. Why? Because they need money to buy all basic necessities during self-quarantine.

3. We can teach new people about the advantages of using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But this is not easy, especially the way to teach them. Moreover, at present, the focus is on the Coronavirus. Besides that, teaching them about Bitcoin might indeed be interesting, however, is this not too risky? If they are interested and it turns out it is not in accordance with their expectations, it will only make them uncomfortable and disappointed. It's good if we really think about what kind of methods should be done when you want to introduce or teach them.

For now, the easiest way for a newbie to get free crypto is by joining airdrop, but is it really worth it? Only a few percentage airdrops that will pay us worth. This is actually a dilemma because after all, it is difficult for newbies to easily get money from the crypto world for now.
Likewise with bounties, when they are newbies, they are more likely to become one of the victims of scams and illegitimate bounties.
If indeed they want to jump into the crypto world, it's good if:

1. The focus should be to learn about the characteristics of the crypto world, this is so that they do not misinterpret, hope, and also take steps. Sometimes a new person hopes too much that they can get a lot of money from crypto, and when the reality is the opposite, they are just wasting time and money, then they will be very disappointed.

2. If they want to get coins (coins), then it helps them be taught or directed to build an account first. This is so that they can rank up and participate in BTC paid bounties.

For gambling games that require skills or techniques, I support your suggestion. If we have skills or techniques to play gambling games, then we can optimize our achievement (chance to win). Even though it is impossible to win in every attempt, at least we know how to play in the right way. Well, skills or techniques will be very useful for the gamblers because they help us to play effectively and with confidence.

The question is "can you buy your daily needs with Bitcoin in your country?"
FYI, in my country, it is illegal to buy with crypto or Bitcoin. Bitcoin and crypto are used only for digital assets, it cannot be a payment tool. You must convert your crypto coins or Bitcoin to Fiats. In this case, how Bitcoin can be the solution? Finally, you need Fiats to buy anything. IMO, Bitcoin may be the right solution in the countries that already fully legalized Bitcoin and crypto.

I admit that gambling is losing money. Not all gambling games are for free and not in every playing gambling we can win it. But I disagree if someone state that gambling is wasting money. Remember that we spend money on gambling for having fun (entertainment purpose) and for the effort of earning money (winning prizes purpose).

Correct. Few people sometimes don't play with a serious purpose, they just spend time for having fun there. There are many gambling games created with very entertaining concepts. That makes few gamblers want to play them again and again, even they just spend money there.

They become addicted because they cannot control their selves. The entertaining and earning got from the gambling are just the triggers. Yes, you should have the capability to limit your expectations in gambling. Never use all your funds and don't force yourself to win because some gambling games are luck-based. Think wise & smart!!

Some altcoins, I keep holding top altcoins and sell unpopular coins. Yep, I think it is better to convert all altcoins got from ICO/IEO bounties to top altcoins.

Do you plan to sell after halving? For altcoins, I don't hold all for the long term. Some altcoins are just for short term targets. I think it will be too risky if all altcoins are set for the long term.

It is true, sir. We need ATM for bitcoin withdrawal. If it's locked, how we can make it be cash. I think the government won't lock ATM because it has a vital role. I can't imagine how people will cash out once the government totally locks all bank facilities, including ATM.

I hope so. But we don't know how long this pandemic will be happening. I think it will be easier to stop once all countries have the cure in a sufficient number. And they have the technology to burn off the virus effectively.

Thank you, buddy. Yes, pretty true. Indeed it was not an easy trip, I have so many obstacles and challenges in the first/second years.
As I was a new one at that time, I needed to adapt to many things. You know, it was my first time joining a forum.

I'm sure you can do what I've done. Even you have a chance to be better. Just try your best and never give up!  

Thank you, brother. You, too. Even you have better achievement than me. Your merit seems almost 700, that's amazing!
Yeah, I hope I can be Hero Member, too.  

Many people think that the drop of the BTC price currently has relationships with the huge spreading of coronavirus, converting their BTC to fiat in order to fulfill the daily needs that really have a big crazy increasing price for real. But, some other reasons may also influence.

The halving will be around May 20, 2020. The halving means for cutting half of the block reward. Theoretically, halving will give positive effect on the BTC price. It is related to supply & demand.

However, of course, the increase of the BTC will not happen very easily right away. There must be a process and also how to hype the halving. related to this current situation, the global economy, hopefully, will end soon and the market will continue to progress again. So, when the Bitcoin is doing its halving, the positive effect will influence soon.

Wow, so, is this the reason why is Steem price increasing drastically this time? It is about 67.91%.
But, can the hard fork make the price reaching the highest one? We noticed that the price reached its best time in January 2018, the rate at that time hit almost $8. But now, the price is still around $0.216129 USD.
May it needs more hype in order to make this coin blow up again and get more attention from the token holders, investors, or event traders.
In many cases, hard fork f a coin should result in a good point, however, some previous coins also do the same and they were likely not that luck, the hard fork didn't make very well increase. Can this Steem hit the best price?

Well, whatever the reason behind the increase in the price, we must be more careful in deciding whether the coin is really promising or not. Hype may be only still a hype. It may be a trap, but it may be also true at all. That is why let's follow the progress while analyzing every possibility of this coin, or maybe other coins.

I really want to laugh. Does McAfee really bring bad influence? 
Well, Doc.com token has been listed in CMC on 320 ranks. It has plenty of good trading volumes at its cheap price. I never follow the progress of this project, but, is it really growing and progressing very well?

Seriously? Does this project really concern about the real use case of healthcare? I think that there may not influence that much. Many people are looking for more funds and also the ways to avoid or even get rid of the coronavirus. Mainly, they are looking for antivirus. Are they really looking for projects related to healthcare? I'm not too sure about this. What's more, the market trend of this token is also the same as the others, dropping drastically. Are these people just curious about projects like this? Or maybe they hope that this project can contribute more to face the current global health conditions?
In my opinion, people will be more interested to develop and use the crypto for payment in order to avoid the use of fiat (paper or coin) that becomes one of the easiest media in spreading coronavirus.

Dentation is a more specific token referring to the dental industry, isn't it? Probably, they need more general healthcare.  But yeah, seen from the CMC data, Dentacoin is better than MTC. It is in the rank 170mwith a higher volume than MTC.

Make ourselves aware that playing gambling excessively will be bad for our future and harm our family. If we have this perception, then it is easier to recover from addiction. Some people are hard to recover because they don't admit that they are already addicted to gambling and they think addiction isn't something dangerous. Yeah, they don't think logically.

The price of the crypto market will still be fluctuating. It may increase or drop again to the bottom. this is one of the characteristics of the crypto market. So, never be panic and surprised about it.

Feeling afraid is normal. However, never drive your fear to make you panic and lose control of yourself. Stay calm down. Follow the flow of the market. You may need to take a breath for a moment to feel more relaxed. This is a crypto world. Don't only put your fear at the top.

Yes, you are pretty correct. With this statement, Juve fans will be happy that one of their players having a big chance to recover. But since one of the Juve players are found Covid19, I think the conditions of all Juve players will be monitored seriously from now. Juve management may consider a higher level on the status of handling their condition.

*I hope all players will be in good condition.

OP, before you ask people about the BTC price prediction in 2021, can you tell us the conclusion of the thread above? I think I don't really get your point. Do you mean that every March 13th is the worse price ever in each year? Anyway, you need to have more complex research to prove it.

On what month, buddy? I bet not all people are unlucky at that time. Some may have a lucky day.

ETH is certainly a safe altcoin to choose but I'm not sure if it can be faster to grow once market recovers. However, Ethereum is likely a kind of coin that follows the trend in Bitcoin nowadays. Since Bitcoin halving seems to be one of the factors to make the market recovery, I think Ethereum has the chance to improve its value earlier. Also, the big support and trust from the community of Ethereum will make it faster to grow.

What is the measure (indicator) of success that you mean here? Both can be successful in the future and I trust them. If talking about which one will be more successful, it depends on the improvement of these coins later. I think it is hard to judge which coin is better in the future. BNB is the coin from the best exchange in the world, while ETH is a coin that people think can compete with BTC. So, both have a strong reason to be successful.
