but I am opposed to taking something away from a majority to appease a minority. Too much of THAT shit going on already. What majority? I am proposing taking something away from the ~20 people that are active on the thread, in order to help the merit flow back into the entire forum, which is the majority. Disabling merit on WO would help the majority What makes you think the same group won't congregate somewhere else, Barely disrupting the flow? Post your TA, with explanations. Be proven over time. You can't expect to just pop up with no history or rapport and bask in glowing praise for your vision. Every poster there started with their first post. True, its more of a news/hangout these days, but there will be more TA when more TA is posted. If that is your goal, get started, and don't quit after your first try.

WO frequent posters (a small number, as earlier referenced) tend to be rabidly anti alt and anti bear. Always been that way. I doubt a blind vote would skew that way, but I don't really care. I guess we could start WO3, with the same high morals WO2 strove for before it was shut down( and started again) but it always ends up the way it is. Embrace it. or don't. Shutting it down because you don't like it or understand it is probably not happening.
Start your own thread with more sober content. If you are after praise, post praiseworthy memes content.
Shutting it down wont work, your right, perhaps merit should be disabled on the thread instead Funny, I thought it had been, at some point, but I can't remember. I couldn't give 2 shits about merit points one way or the other, but I am opposed to taking something away from a majority to appease a minority. Too much of THAT shit going on already.

One thing to remember here, is that English is often not the first language of your target audience. Sarcasm and humor is often twisted or lost in translation...

snip It is post about a bunch of coins that died 3 years before you registered. There are few people that would ever remember that post.
Who are you?

never used to be. Didn't they shill dash once upon a time? I recall them posting positive stuff about bytecoin and its clones which was complete crap. The coins were all from the same group. Yeah, some trash or other. I never went back. Do you mean cointelegraph? I do not know many legit sites in the crypto world, hence everybody has a subjective view on things, so ... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I don't want to come off as a crazy old man but... Coin Telegraph was started shortly after ByteCoin was "discovered". Apparently, ByteCoin had been around for years but was just found. It claimed to only work on CPUs, not GPUs or custom stuff. It was a scam. CT were proponents of ByteCoin and ran positive stories. Someone associated with them bought my CPU hash website (see above) and quickly added CT advertising which is still there. Why is that old, outdated site still alive? Read this old post regarding ByteCoin and the related coins. There may be a few small errors but is generally correct. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=740112.0just-mike I know that thread quite well, but thanks again for sharing ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) As i said, there are a ton of sites out there and the "coincidents" are readable but not prooven, so i think we should skip bytecoin as it has evolved to monero. As i recall an interview with fluffy he said "The DEV of bytecoin was brilliant but an asshole!" I think it is time to move on and leave bytecoin with the other copies of monero behind, hence those are nowhere near monero, so that is enough proof for me ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) You "know that thread quite well"? Why? It is post about a bunch of coins that died 3 years before you registered. There are few people that would ever remember that post. Who are you? just-mike look for elrippo

48 hours above .008 Does it hold?
3 days now. In February it lasted 11 days. Would be nice to break that record. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) 0.008 broken ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif)

It's unlikely we will see growth the same as the past halvings. I think ~3-5x the prior ATH (so 60-100k) is a reasonable peak this time around. Resistance futile Supply is diminishing FOMO then we moon When the supply of resistance coins gets gobbled, the price just goes bananas. There is no reasonable number. FOMO is not reasonable. My expectations: 50k will be akin to 2017's ~4k. Woohoo, sideways/down, then off again to moon. :rollercoaster.gif

Voted $12-12.5 this round. Slow, seemingly organic upward momentum from last week, appears to be keeping mostly steady.
Same. Slow & steady wins the race, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Right up until its a sprint...

Soon 3/4 of ATH... Ummm, yawn? Way to go out on a limb ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Can we start a fund to provide my financial support during my reading of the complete WO? (and by the way, there was an even older WO before this one, if I'm not mistaken, so make that 2 funds)
The old WO was only 1189 pages, so you should be able to read that during your lunchtime. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85687.0Not to mention thousands of pages of deleted posts...

Good morn Bitcoinland. One one six two six dollars Bitcoinaverage). Sideways (slightly up) OK but somewhat boring- I need more coffee. Go go Bitcoin go. Go Bitcoin go Bitcoin go. Go go Bitcoin go. 1. Make some of your biggest dreams come true. 2. Otherwise continue to live your life "normal"* *maybe to new living standards, though. I'd get some land, a stable and some horses, a small skatepark and independent energy source(s) for my home, maybe a foreign place for holiday and run/hide purposes. No supercar(s), no castles, no seasteads, no bling, no hos, no blow. Wait... a garden of weeden, maybe. yeah, i guess ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I think one thing that sinks lottery winners is that it the total cost of ownership of any item far exceeds the mere purchase price. Big houses cost a lot of money over time for upkeep/maintenance, as do Lambos. Rich people budget for this, flash rich people buy big houses for their family members then start getting hit up for repairs, maintenance, etc. Or they buy a "business" that needs a lot of capital that you shovel in because.... well you bought it. Something to think about. All true. They are not used to manage money and many are easy prey for unscrupulous financial advisors, personal bankers, etc. Also, many decide to be excessively generous with other family members etc... or, as you say, decide to start/buy business without having the slightlest idea of how to manage one and, what is even worse, employing family members thus creating a totally unprofitable sink hole that they are afraid to stop on time. That way, and even without ever going into a lambos, hookers and coke spending spree, maybe even before substantially changing their life they find themselves bankrupt (sometimes without being aware of it until years after the fact). Preserving/increasing wealth is a job in itself that requires some skills and dedication, otherwise easy comes easy goes. That being said, I don't think the average OG Hodler would easily fall into above mistakes... It's hard to get rich And not get caught up in it. You must still think poor. Ignore your new wealth And spend like you always did When you were dirt poor. Scrimp on ev'rything Keep your spending just as low As in poverty. It's never easy And in time you'll find that you'll Be spending faster. Hopefully by then You'll have saved enough money And built good habits. You can start living Happily ever after. Don't be n-word rich. Hookers, Lambos, blow Are obviously just traps That keep suckers poor. Good to see you're still here dropping wisdom ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
