Governments are equally aware of these fact, as cryptocurrency makes it difficult to track and monitor citizens through their finances. This would factor in as one of the reasons why governments are seeking to gain some form of control over the cryptocurrency industry to taxations and various forms of regulations.

Cryptocurrency would be the future global currency.

I do not think such an option would require information from users (not any private information at least). Only post activity and data is needed to aggregate and select quality posts. It could also be toggled on and off, depending on a users specification.

There has been quite a number of positives to take home from the tournament so far, importantly is the new season which allows players plying their trade outside the continent to not have to leave an active club session to represent their nation.
Also there are still as many (or maybe more) stars to look out for, and we have not been disappointed so far.
The AFCON and COMEBOL also present a variety of options for gamblers with a plethora a fixtures occurring almost daily.

I have come across cases of users choosing not to post in certain boards to avoid their posts getting buried under sea of new posts, and also users having to bump their posts repeatedly to keep it active.

Each section has had thousands of posts made and only a few are at the disposal of users, as it is painstaking to navigate through all the pages of posts made on a specific section. Can we have a pop up icon recommending quality posts for users as they scroll through the forum, the recommendations could be based on number of merits giving to the OP, and also subsequent comments under it.
It could also work for newer posts; if a post gets a certain number of merits (doesn't have to be too high) within a certain number of hours upon posting then it would be recommended to users on the forum.

This way, members can come across old, relevant posts, which otherwise they may not have been able to dig up, and also newer posts which may have slipped down below the first page.
The algorithm could be designed to randomly pick across all the boards, excluding boards ignored by the user and local boards (which are not the users locality).

There are limited local boards and that does not properly accommodate all nationalities, and the forum does not require information about ones nationality so racism does not really factor in most cases.
Scathing remarks could be thrown around but it's always a direct remark on the poster.
Also some remarks from some members may seem particularly hash (maybe in a bid to get acknowledgement or merits from higher ranked members), do ignore such.
*Be productive
*Do not seek attention unduely
*Do more reading around the forum
*And be civil.

I am an avid football lover, and I like to bet on the possible outcomes of a football game, as this is my strong point.
I do not engage in other forms of gambling, buy also do not consider them to be a waste or mismanagement of funds, as long as you apply the basic rules of trading.
Don't put in more than you can afford to lose.
Have a mental stop loss; a point where you call it quits. Also have a take profit range.

But it is coming out of your Wallet, so no, you would not be unbothered by losses. I do not think the inclusion cryptocurrency and the blockchain changes the dynamics of gambling much.
Losses and possible scams is still down to the websites invloved. Do your research before using a particular gambling site

Token sales in it's different forms has been getting more unpopular among investors due to the high rate of scams and fake projects. IEOs came at a time when alternative currencies was at it's lowest and has not quite taking off among investors. Developers with a real product and applicable utility would look for other means of introducing their product to the blockchain technology.

It would not really... The sender would have to buy bitcoins on an exchange, and pay conversion fees, send the Bitcoin and the receiver would also buy cash using bitcoins, as he/she isn't interested in owning BTC. This would increase the cost of transaction.
If he's going to convince the receiver to transact using bitcoins, they could as well learn about the utility and applications of cryptocurrency, this would make them aware of it's worth. But if it's an emergency and Bitcoin can not be used as a form of payment for the product or service. Then the conventional means of transfer would be more convenient

An app is not a bad idea, and I have not yet gotten theymos take on it possibility. One option which I believe is very plausible is a mobile view option across all browsers rather than the default desktop view. This would make it easier to type and read through.
I rarely use a PC to navigate the forum, and have gotten quite used to doing it on a mobile device, so it's mostly down to familiarity rather than the website being difficult.

AFAIK Tokenization would be the process of converting a stock or asset into a token, and transferring it's value to that token. It is a was of transferring an asset to the blockchain
STOs are used for security tokens, which are regulated by financial bodies, such as SEC. While, ICOs are used to introduce utility tokens into the market.
I also found this thread which contains discussion on this topic

DTs are always charged to be sensible in their decisions, and while trust flags takes away some attention from negative trusts, they should be charged to not only hand them out for relevant cases which affects the general trustworthiness of a user.

Yes you can hunt for it, put in the effort, do your research, give out quality and relevant content, and learn as you grow.
And there is no right point of view, different people have different objectives for being members of this forum. You'd need to define yours and work towards that.

I prefer to manually add my assets in a portfolio app like blockfolio. This can be tasking when actively trading as it needs to be updated regularly.
Coinstats and coinhub has good ratings and are quite popular. But, endeavor to do your own research on their privacy policy and possible third party involvement in the storage of data. Ensure you do not divulge passwords or private keys.

It's also advisable to back up your 2FA account, if you use Google authenticator, or more preferably use authy which automatically creates a back up which can be assesses using your email and password

OTC stands for Over The Counter trades, and it is used when individuals want to keep their transactions private. It is not a trading strategy, where one profits from, but an agreement between two or more individuals.

There is no specific amount range. People still trade with large amounts on the open market, OTC is needed when you want to keep the transaction covert, possibly to avoid influencing the market price.

Not all exchanges support OTC trades, check the options available on the exchange of your choice.

Firstly, when investing in cryptocurrency or any venture, you shouldn't be persuaded. You should be advised and giving tools to help you grow your knowledge. This would make it easier for the investor to manage their assets effectively.

Cryptopia exchange was liquidated sometime last year due to a major hack. I do not know of any possibilities of regaining your bitcoins which was on that exchange.
Storing your assets on an exchange is never a good idea.
You should own the keys to the address which holds your assets.

I'd advice you first build on knowledge, then invest money

I am curious to know how you'd determine who an account farmer is. Earned merits, rank, trust?
It think it would be susceptible to abuse on a small scale.
Overall, I don't think k you have to fix something that isn't broken. Delays in merit source isn't so much an issue that warrants changing the whole system.


If you make it an automated process, then members don't need to apply, or show interest. Take into account that not everyone would be interested in being charged with smerits to distribute within a certain time frame.

It is your opinion. But look at it like this; a medical doctor can be very stressed out after standing for a straight ten-hour operation, while still feeling fulfilled about having saved a life. Also that same medical doctor can be stressed about losing a patient during his/her night shift (even though it may not have been their fault).
I don't believe there's a happily ever after. There'd be challenges no matter how much you love what you do. It's WORK, it's not meant to be easy, but it should be something that you always want to go back to and be better at.


Standardized testing discourages diversity, and tries to lump student with completely different strengths into a particular direction.

I also didn't put emphasis on college degrees. I was generally writing on any form of education one ventures into.
It's also important to pick a skill you're passionate about. Entrepreneurship is good, so are college degrees, so are talents/gifts. Just do what brings you fulfillment.
