Algeria certainly have not struggled all the way through, they have had some tough matches like every other team.
They are the highest scoring team and have conceded the fewest goals. They also play a very open and fluid type of football. Senegal has also been impressive. It'd be a tough fixture, but I would be backing the North Africans.

Members should be sensitized on what constitutes a 'good report', then most of the effort wasted in reporting inactive threads, could be used in cleaning up spam from the forum.

The merit badges was a good initiative and if properly managed it could help combat spamming.
This is a useful [Guide] on effective reporting.

In addition it would also make it more difficult for one to get merits if others have to scroll down to get posts which haven't been merited.
There is a merit stat page which allows users check the most merited posts/replies, it's not a robust system, but it's good for now without the admins changing up the system.

The website may also be compromised and is not an assurance that the app is safe.
Do not allow apps direct permissions into your personal files.
Have an updated virus/malware protection software.
Verify any app you download from ANY source.

Best way to buy would be in a trusted exchange.
You can buy using other cryptocurrencies or with fiat currencies.
Here is a list of top exchanges by market capitalization: https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/

The forum is already very dependent on the merit system, making it a necessity for a member to give a feedback on another doesn't seem fair.
If they are not on DT or a users' personal trust list, their feedback does not count, so it's not much of an issue.

As for the advertising, from earlier replies the OP was not meant to be an ad, but a poorly organized defense against spam accusations, also it's not like anyone goes to trust pages to look for recommendations on products or services. But it could be used to trick one to a malicious website, so mods could make an exception remove such feedbacks if it becomes a trend.

Day trading is not as straightforward as following the trend, price manipulations are not as common for currencies such as Bitcoin with a very high market capitalization.
Day trading takes practice and majority would say luck to be successful.
Long term investments are a better option for those without the technical skills to trade, you simply have to buy and hodl.

Cancer is also caused by open fire, which was and is still a part of developing countries, i.e, it has many causes. Majority of the others are not innovations or even remotely related to this post.

I was taking the point of view of an entrepreneur, and how to see opportunities in new innovations and reposition yourself.

I can't access the deleted thread, but topics are deleted for a couple of reasons which the mods do not state to lighten their work load, but its likely down to one of these:


I have had a few of my posts deleted, (mostly comments). And it is rarely an error
Put in effort into your post. And endeavour to read the guidelines of the forum.

Most of Donald Trump's tweets are spontaneous and irrational. But on the topic of cryptocurrency I believe he echoes the stand of a number of government representatives and banking officials (their public opinion at least). Bitcoin is seen as a rival to fiat currencies and allows the community control money, hence it is labeled as risky and a tool for fraud.

Everyone should endeavour to do their own research on any technology, rather than take the public opinion of prominent individuals or 'experts', who may or may not own some bitcoins while speaking against it.

Industrialization can simply be defined as the mechanisation of labour. Going from manual and human driven to independent machines.
Technology has been growing in leaps and bounds and we keep inventing more innovative ways to get work done.

There are some who are pessimistic about the use of machines to do jobs previously done by humans. But, this is surely not a new ideology, all technological innovations has been met with a degree of skepticism.
People assumed cars would steal jobs of chariot and carriage riders
The telephone, many said would make letters unnecessary.
While this innovations did what people feared, it also opened opportunities. And the savvy grabbed them quickly. They moved with the trend.

Industrialization is a trend, and it could be seen as an threat to human jobs or as an opportunity to create jobs in different fields. Grabbing this opportunity would require work from people, to analyse the situation, and reposition themselves so as not to get washed away by the new trend.
Change is inevitable. Adjust to it.

Firstly, the quantity is limited, but does not  decrease with time. It has rather been increasing with time, and will until it gets to the maximum supply of 21 million coins


It really is largely dependent on those factors; demand and supply. In other asset classes such as fiat, there is an organized system which controls and regulates the price, the products on sale at outlets also has a system behind it's pricing. But bitcoin has absolutely no regulatory body, and hence changes with the direction of the market.

Now there are many other factors which affects demand and supply; developments on the network, flaws or hacks, government interference, media publications and these could affect the value positively or negatively.

I would advise a newbie to not put to much effort in looking for bounties which accept that rank, as majority give rewards with little value. Rather, put in effort into growing your account and joining more reputable bounties.
The era of spamming for ICO projects and getting huge rewards bare behind us.
-Your first target should be getting acquainted with the -rules and regulations.
-Grow your cryptocurrency knowledge.
-Contribute to the community.
-Avoid spam and low quality engagements.

Majority of price movements from the past were bubbles and the value technically pumped up, attracted investors and lots of FOMO and dumped back down.
We are seeing more organic growth nowadays with market support and a growing investor base.
So stability is higher now, and I prefer that to extreme volatility.

In my opinion, Bitcoin has no cap on it's worth and it has the potential to reach very high values over the coming years, but the price is supported by market dynamics; demand and supply. So any increase has to be reasonable and actually possible.
A jump to $100,000 within 4¹/² months is not reasonable at this time.

More times than not, decision making has decided matches in the tournament, so far. Taking precedence over talent. One silly mistake is all it takes for a match to be won or lost.
Nigeria has been growing into the competition as the matches unfolded, same with Senegal and Algeria, I predict two of the three to get into the finals.

All these can be classified as strategies to adequately manage your capital, some are risky, and some are more reserved. But they are not ways to succeed while gambling. Dice games is majorly down to luck.
Also do not stake more than you can afford to lose at a time.

Also when you say a blocked account, do you mean a banned account?


And if it is a permaban, then you're violating forum rules by making posts on the forum aside from on an appeal thread. A ban is on the user and not the account.

Merits define whether or not one can wear a signature, and hence determines bounty participation. A forum member should be able to earn at least one to ensure that they don't spam around the forum to fulfill their tasks.

Even if an anniversary merit giveaway was implemented, log in time would likely be used to ensure you are actually participating and trying to learn and not just farming accounts over a 365 day period.

Depends on how you define an ideal time to accumulate, if it's based on the lowest possible price, a few months ago would have been more ideal. It's also dependent on the altcoin in consideration considering lots of projects are busts.
Do your research, considering the tokenomics and potential for growth.
