I get your drift.

However, I do think the thread in quote is still relevant without any ambivalence. The Chinese are  still a talking point given the goings on in the global space right now. They're truly "f**king" the world with the virus. No disrespect meant.

There isn't anything unethical or illegal about it. If you talk about risk, I would say yes it's risky. But then is there any business that doesn't come with its own risk? Bro, they all do. Even life itself has its own risk, much more buying and selling. So, I think one needs to acquire the expertise to be able to profit from arbitration. That's just it, nothing else. It has no morality question on it.

Truth be told, most people who are trading Bitcoin really don't even know anything about Bitcoin apart from the fact that it's a means of payment. So, there is more to learning how Bitcoin works than actually using it. I think it's a good sign that all these are happening and that Bitcoin is getting listed on many stock exchange platforms, notwithstanding.

Honestly, almost like the author was the famed Nostradamus with his clairvoyance. This novel Coronavirus pandemic has thrown up the "cuss" China has bestowed on the world. To even think the country is seemingly out of the pandemic while the rest of the world is overwhelmed with the virus lends credence to the conspiracy theory against China.

China, should kindly give the globe back its normal life.

The people are the government, remember. The officials of government are collectively chosen from the people to represent the larger population. So, until those who love Bitcoin at heart are chosen into government the situation isn't going to change tremendously. Now imagine getting top members of BTT in the majority into government of their respective countries. Your guess is as good as mine of the direction Bitcoin legislation will go.

However, despite the odd, I know things are gradually changing and soon the mass adoption we seek will materialize. It's just a matter of time.

This is apt and right on it. I have used it for long that I can't really remember how long now and I have never had any issue with it.

But of course, "one of the first" as used by the OP doesn't mean "first" actually. It simply means it could be counted among the pioneer wallets. I think the Coinomi wallet has come a long way, really. And to this effect the OP is right.

This is the illusive thought of a dreamer. This isn't going to happen, ever. Come to think of it, if Bitcoin becomes that cheap what do you think will become the fate of the crypto industry? Of course, it will collapse.

Payment received. Thank you once again. I hope to get in once the campaign reopens.

On the flip side, demo trading isn't the same as live trading. The first doesn't harbour any emotion while the second has it packed. Remember, emotions are the major killer in trading besides Money Management (MM) misappropriation.

While OP is getting the required skill set for trading, I would like to advise that they adopt the simple method of selling when others are buying, and buying when others are selling.

OP is apt on this and I share in their thought. Perhaps theymos should make this a governing rule.


At least, the BMs should do their research before accepting the contracts and be true to themselves not to only concentrate on what they can get out of the bounty as payment at the detriment of hunters. I know quite alright that BMs get paid in BTC or other already listed coins like ETH/Litecoin, other than the bounty tokens. So, to a greater extent they're exempted from the hardship hunters go through after bounties have ended.

That is why the BMs have to be less self-centered. They should insist on escrow and know that whatever that will be will surely be. If it's their contract to get, it will surely cone back to them. They don't have to lower standard so they can get a bite out of every pie. How do you think Julerz makes it? Do you think he hasn't lost some contracts for insisting on escrow or whatever that is right?

Yes, the bounty here was handled by Arteezy. But it became obvious that Arteezy didn't have any control over them once the bounty ended and it was time to update bounty hunters on distribution schedule. It was a sad development as many hunters who participated in that bounty realized too late they had walked into a tight corner. I think BMs should be asking any project they take on to escrow the tokens for hunters. I know a few BMs who do this and I always try to be in their bounties. Julerz is great at this, always asking for escrow for his hunters.

Remember that scarcity endows a thing with value, so to say. If more people hodl back their Bitcoin and don't sell, expectedly it will cause scarcity because demand will become greater than supply and price will begin to head up. We all want Bitcoin to appreciate in price, isn't it? So, don't you think this advice of yours is contradictory to the general and collective wish of the community?

I share in your bullishness on Bitcoin and I guess it's the safer route to go, considering the happenstance globally. Besides, May is just around the corner and I anxiously await a fresh wave of reawakening in Bitcoin price because of Halving in May. We shall likely experience another round of the post August 2017 era that saw the first ever Bitcoin fork.

BTW, it seems the days of Bitcoin forks are now over?

This post here is laden with too much sense. Besides unscrupulous teams and their devs selling KYC documents for monetary exchange or scampering with it, KYC defeats the essence of anonymity which Bitcoin stands for. However, I think what makes people indulge in KYC projects is either their belief that the project will give them a good ROI or they're deceived/tricked into such. We see this latter scenario in bounties. I have been a victim of this where teams change the rule and asked for KYC at the end of bounty as part of the condition for distribution. This is really sad and unfortunate.

Lol... You can only imagine that scenario. Glad it cracked you up to the point of you shilling it some merits. I appreciate.

Honestly Vod, I have shared this thought too and you're correct to the last letter. This is a dangerous time and tide we live in with scammers and blood letting goons everywhere.

Although this is slightly different — At a time in the past I made a suggestion on an Altcoin thread to BM to help curb cheating and scamming. It was simple - BM should ask all participants to update their profiles with their wallet address and then update their spreadsheets from that address. That way, scammers won't he able to use other people's accounts for social media tasks.

That is a situational irony you've got here, OP. That you your merits easily thrown at you doesn't mean it's that easy for others or that you're a better poster than they are. Just count your blessings and be mutely grateful to the community.

In addition, your post brings to the fore of a popular saying in my tribe, this I will loosely translate here - A man with a healthy penis doesn't know the travails of one with the elephantiasis of the scrotum.

To state it mildly, McAfee is simply human and not a certain supernatural being. He made that prediction in the heat of the Bitcoin orgasm of 2017. He wasn't the only one who predicted that Bitcoin was going to go pass a hugemous price level. Many of the mouthed crypto veterans did too. If we took McAfee for his word, then we should be reevaluating our business sense to have believed something not feasible within a short period of time. For all we know, Bitcoin may not even get to the $500,000 mark ever in its lifetime. Now, there are new innovations and projects with utility that can (with time) deplete the strength of Bitcoin.

And no, McAfee won't eat his dick for failing at his prediction...

I think he is dead. He was assassinated shortly after he invented the legendary Bitcoin. If not why is his almost one million holding still not depleted years after Bitcoin became popular? No one can hodl that long once their token/coin became highly priced. We all know what happened to Litecoin at its peak and how the creator cashed out.

I think OP is subjective where they used the word "normal". For me, I think crypto is already normal the way it is. We may not be having it good like the pre-2018 seasons but definitely we can't say the industry is fairing any worse. What we have now is crypto trying to react to the dynamics of market forces. And this pandemic too isn't making it any easier for the industry. But when compared to the stock exchange industry, we can assuredly conclude that crypto is making headway. Bitcoin selling about $6,000 at a time like this is something to cheer about.
