Eh being a Staff Member and being a helpful member are different things. They are not exclusive.
A staff has to go through threads reading all the cesspool of posts and then evaluate if they are spam or not if reported. They are always at high risk of getting malware from links posted here. Fortunately the members here dont see those because they are removed quickly, again because of the efforts of the staff.
Dont mean to be rude to the OP, but every member of this forum is a potentially a person who can help you with something. Making a list of people whom one sees as helpful is a subjective approach to something that is not humanely possible to do and thus a failure.

I agree casino owner is the one we need to blame because they are the only person that can manipulate the machine and their system. It is strange that you think in that manner when we are having so many online bitcoin casinos which have a provably fair system that can be verified by a third party. Are you even aware how provably fair works? Perhaps weneed should be more careful especially those betting games we played, we to be more observant to avoid loses by not choosing there gambling games. I think owners should be more responsible about it. For physical casinos sometimes there is a chance of bias and machines malfunctioning but they have a policy that malfunction voids all bets. But again this is not true for the online casinos. What the OP said is not really related to this but still, you should check out provably fair in any reputable casino like primedice and see how it works. Any of the newcomers in this sector are scrutinized by the members of this forum who are cryptography enthusiasts for their provably fair system and if flaws are found then they are told to rectify them as well.

I doubt that buying is for everyone. At least people in some places from Africa don't have choice to buy bitcoin. The possibility of buying bitcoin using a P2P source is always available as long as you have internet connectivity and a trusted seller to buy from. Now if you are lacking the bank balance to buy then it is your problem. Yes, and neither for mining. Not everyone can join bitcoin mining with rigs. But with the spread of cloud mining, it becomes easier. Again this is incorrect. Cloud mining is a scam which is not properly understood by new entrants in this sector. All the legit mining locations have a system of giving out dividends to the people who own the rigs there. But this is not the case for all. 99% of the projects that you get on searching for cloud mining are not even having any rigs. They are running a ponzi where they pay the older investors with the money coming from the newer investors. Those contracts there are fake and used to scam everyone. If you are willing to check if a cloud mining system really exists, do not trust but "Verify". Visit the location and check if they really exist. I can promise you that it wont be there or you would not be given a response when you ask about the same.

The OP's view is objectively incorrect.
Freelancing is a method of using your skills to complete a job and get paid for it. Depends on how rare that skill is and how difficult it is to learn to get bigger pays and more frequest jobs/permanent jobs in which case it no longer remains just freelancing.
Trading is where you take the risk of the market movement to make money. It is a prediction game and if you are having some basis of buying an asset then you should be good but the risk is always there for a drop in price.
So depending on your skills either of these can be good for a certain person but does not mean one is better than the other.

That's right, projects that pay with Bitcoin have very strict rules so that not everyone can join in there, So I think that is a natural thing, because we will be directly able to get paid with BTC. Meanwhile, if the project pays with their tokens then we have to wait a long time to get our reward. You can completely understand the status that is carried with being involved in a project that pays in bitcoin. This is why I implore all the newer members of this forum to learn about bitcoin and how this forum works and not going for bounties. Those who listen to such advice actually learn some good things about how to approach crypto and not get caught in down-spirals of bounties which ends up always in a waste of time. You need to use money to make money. Projects that give out free money for useless stuff are very likely going to be worthless. It is common sense.

Most of the time they do uncover or do know things when the project is already on the concluding phase when theres no time for you to go back or you already have done the works until you realize that you are dealing with the wrong or fake devs. Sadly they dont learn and repeat the same mistake. The mindset that bounty hunting is a easy way to make free money is a wrong one because there is no such thing as free money. Scams now do become conservative and comes too realistic even how careful you are on making up some search but this doesnt guarantee you out on not to step to these fake or fraud ones. Like I have said, it is a cat and mouse game. You catch one and another one will appear. They scam and make money from these scams so they continue doing so ripping bounty hunters and investors. Just stick with some basic rules on identifying things like legit dev and some realistic project goal compared to those who do keep telling almost impossible things.Ive encountered it for how many times and these projects are destined to fail. It is easier to conclude that these projects are all going to be failures. No use hunting behind them and no use trying to find a pin in a haystack. The days of ICOs being big are long gone and it has been 3years where no such coin has risen to come close to bitcoin.

Why do not you consider the possibility of selling bitcoins for cash, as well as buying gold for this cash at a bank branch? The fees involved in this procedure will be bigger than just buying gold with cash. Its sad that we dont have direct methods of buying/selling gold vs bitcoin. BitGold was there at one time though I have not used it myself. Although you will lose some of the funds withdrawn from the cryptocurrency, and it is possible that the bank will charge a certain percentage of the sale, you will be much better protected than with such exchanges over the Internet. Technically yes, but the fees are big for the entire transaction. But there are P2P sales available with reputable members of this forum. You could take part in those and sell your bitcoins for gold or precious gems. Bottom line is that every method carries some risk but you have to try them all to find out which one is going best for you. Do not send first to any seller without using an escrow.

Courses? Meh no. Dont for any paid ones if you are really enthusiastic about those. While it might seem like a good option for a newbie to listen to courses and learn, the reality is that you will learn a lot more from actual trading. This might sound strange but this is where I suggest people to go for stock markets courses, because crypto promoters will often shill their shitcoins for the viewer to buy them.
Again paid courses are a type of a blanket scam. You can get indicator knowledge from youtube. Why pay for them when you can learn them for free?

I am used to seeing this situation. in my opinion this is not too scary when compared to last year. But lately, I have always benefited when trading ETH, you need to know, I have started making stock again to prepare to trade. Hopefully for this trade we can also get it again.
If you are getting scared while buying or selling crypto then you will be half defeated already. The trick to not to get scared. Some shills will either promote or sabotage the images of different assets. But you have to make sure your points are strong and that you are willing to hold it for some time before selling or buying more. If you have that mentality you will not lose money due to panic selling, cant say about other things though. While ETH may be dropping BTC is the first which stated to fall. This is likely the correction for the 10k touching a week or more back. No directly attributable to any pathogen (fear initiates panic). Because humans tend to quickly draw connections without having proof, such will be the theme of the social medias.

Any bookmaker or at least p2p site where we could bet on super Tuesday outcomes with crypto? I'm specifically interested to see if there's any trusted site that provides good coverage for political events in the United States. Anyone know any good ones?
You can use betmoose. It is a less known but trustworthy site. I believe many users there are from North America and Europe. You can post a pick of your own and generate a pot to allow other people to bet on both sides. Most of the time you will find a pick that you are looking for here, political or so. You can always go for the non-p2p sites like sportsbet and nitrogen but please check TOS of all sites before depositing. Betmoose is P2P, If I am not wrong. Onehash is also a good site like others have suggested.

The world is seriously moving into technology to reduced some stress of carrying physical cash with a high risk, hence in times of china current situation of corona virus that is spread from body contact, i think the best way is to stay at home and make an electronic payment with bitcoin for goods and services delivery at home, with that method, bitcoin has play a good role.
You won't be able to go complete every daily necessities with the crypto payments, that is if you are lucky enough to have those type of payment systems where you live. So in a way this develops more panic about the virus outbreak. Better to stay careful yourself and wait it out than being delusional and devloping more panic about the situation. Do go out and not stay completely at home during this time unless you are very scared. More people become sick of panic than disease.

Those coins going 400% or more is very likely to be suspicious of of problems. While there are many coins that grow big in price with time but some others are pump and dump. If you check coinmarketcap lists of coins with biggest prices on the site and show as that high level increase in a short time, you can very wel be sure that it will be pump and dump. Although if you are lucky to hold such a coin from low price you will get a good return on selling it at this price. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Well honestly am at the beginners level. It would be best if you keep it at that level. There is nothing better than getting a taste of gambling and how bitter it becomes with more losses. That will also stop you from wasting money on gambling. I have this mindset that when i will i win still want to earn more but when i lost i want to play more just to gain back what i've lost. Both are actually wrong ways to proceed. These things make you lose more in the cycle of gambling and there is always the chance of getting addicted for a new player. While managing losses is important keeping a check on habits is also important. Just play when you wish to but keep limited bankroll to play with. Don't be the foolish gambler who rages when playing.

The fastest way to detect scam projects is clicking on their image and searching with google image search engine and you will get some secrets in return, nice try OP, nice try, this is very simple and easy
They are scammers for a reason. While it is true that many projects are scam, it is not always possible to detect a scam within proper time. The bounty hunters are less knowledgeable regarding this. They check a couple of accounts and then think that the project is legit. Specially the fist few team member links are often like that. One will understand what I am trying to say if they have done a thorough research on these projects. But bounty hunters will always suffer if they are not careful.

I would not suggest any names, but there are sites that allow you to take a loan in the names of margin trading. While margin is essentially risky it gives a leverage to the trader to make more money. I don't suggest it to new users but if you are already experienced in this art then go for it but with risk management. If you don't know how to do that then don't venture into margin trading or leverage trading.
There is also the method to pawn collateral altcoins to get a loan for trading is you need - I dont know if that is what you asked in the first place. Poloniex is one which allows such trades. Also getting a loan outside and then using it to trade is also possible, but needs a bit more time to first get the loan.
Of course you risk your account and it's deposited money in case you are not able to make the money back.

If you are really into crypto trading and wanted to make money then you won't be asking such silly questions,already thousands of replies for this kind of question available on bitcointalk and all over the internet but for you its you have to build your own strategy to make money.
There is nothing silly in asking questions you know. Clearing doubts is an essential part in the process of learning. However I feel the same because these topics quickly turn to a cesspool of spam with time if not locked. Again if I was in the place of the OP like 5years ago, I would been doing the same. Few donts that I like to emphasise are not becoming emotional with losses and not chasing a price. Holding coins stubbornly is also not adviced. Then again I have posted once but OP never took the time to respond. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

The market always has got to come up with the name of the business to determine the business. I dont think that is a logical approach. A hedge fund does not make money by just allowing the market to move. They basically cut down the risks by making money from the movements. I still am less knowledgeable about how they function but they convert to fiat and hold that before the market goes down and vice versa. I know there are capital hedge fund groups in fiat but those in crypto - I tend to not have faith in them much. I prefer to keep my coins to myself or trade myself instead of giving it to someone for taking care of risks. Although opinions may vary here.

Yes, i also think so that both trading and investing need more knowledge to be successful. I personally saw many investors that invested without knowing vast and fall in deep problem and same as traders. Market is not much volatile to everybody must have to be careful so that they can not feel upset in future. I think the more correct way of telling this is that trading and investing is a part and parcel of the same thing. This is different from the stock market though. Here you will mostly be investing in altcoins, although they are other methods to invest too which are sadly much less in number few of which being casino bankroll investments. Here one will also trade those invested coins. So it is one after the other and not two separate things. Of course market volatility is the reason why people trade. There are no reasons to trade a stagnant coin which shows no signs of life. We all know what to buy in and not what not to.

You can stop those people who are really fan on trying out new casinos, they might be aware of the risk but it isnt bad to test out because you cant tell sites legitimacy if you wont try and some of people wont really mind that much. As long as they are aware of verification methods, it should not be a problem here. Those who are blindly rushing in to deposit without checking anything about the site are the ones at risk. But it is always safer to go with the well established casinos and not the new ones. On my case i do let others test out and hear up for some feedbacks before trying to play into that place.Of course having a license to operate does really matter but imho most of sites now doesnt have that thing but somewhat they are still being trusted by the community. In that sense feedback is an essential thing for the development and growth of any new casino. Without having community feedback how would they expect to grow. But in retrospection, such casinos would not be a scams. It is always encouraged. But like I said, one needs to be diligent before stepping into new waters.

Hello, saw a thread about people being curious about how they can trade bitcoin and triple their profit in one week, that's so bad and I will tag it as ignorance, Bitcoin is not the issue here. The problem is that some people are greedy enough to believe such things and get scammed. If someone really had such methods then they would be using those to make money for themselves and not help others. So my question is what are the needed key points that can be used to hold down People to know that most offers that are too good to be true are scam. Because they won't listen, even my siblings fall into scam right in my presence because I couldn't convince them about the scam. You can teach them about possibilities of something being scam from doing research. Remember that knowledge trumps over ignorance and thus we need to learn more about how people have been scammed and how a project really pays out. Without such we cannot fight scams. Now you can teach them a lot but they will still get scammed if they are being greedy. So controlling their greed is a important thing.
