It's your opinion.
I have been pushing my friend, who is very skeptical toward crypto for a whole year to get involved and to try and when I finally succeed what happened?
My friend registered his account on the forum and when he tried to make first post here, we realized that his account is blocked and on the black list (evil list) and only way to unblock him is to pay some fee in btc.
Of course, he said that no way he will pay for the ''right'' to write on this forum, it's stupid and funny for him.
Bitcointalk forum just lost one user but I think it will be one of many if admins don't solve this issue.
I don't plan to invite anybody else on this forum.
I learned my lesson today hard way.

Ma preko mobitela je baš i pokušao, drugo nema.
I tako je bio skeptičan prema svemu tome i jedva sam ga nagovorio da danas krene s tim i onda odmah čita da je na nekoj crnoj ili listi zla i da mora platiti da bi uopće mogao pisati na forumu, i to kada se već registrirao.
Zahvalio mi se i rekao da ga ovo više ne zanima i da ne misli plaćati bilo što za ovakve gluposti.
Super, neka samo ovako nastave pa će početi gubiti i druge, potencijalne članove, na ovom forumu.
Ja sigurno neću više nikoga zvati da se ovdje registrira, nema šanse.

Manchester United have been in a major crisis for a very long time.
When Mourinho won second place with them it was a failure and now they can't even get into the Champions League.
Mourinho even stated that winning second place with Manchester United was one of his greatest career successes and was ridiculed for making this statement.
They are getting worse every year and it seems that their decline has no end.
Winning the Europa League? Don't be ridiculous!?

I had the same problem today.
After much persuasion, a friend decided to enter the crypto world, so I showed him today how to open btc wallet, how to send and receive btc and finally wanted to help him to register at this forum.
After registration, when my friend tried to make his first post in life on this forum, he received warning that he can't post on the forum because his P is blocked, because he is on the ''evil list'' and if he wants to ublock his account he have to pay some btc amount.
Of course he gave up immediately, and this was also his beginning and a definitive end to the crypto world.
I don't think I have chance now to bring him back to the crypto, ever.
Idea that someone who has never sent a single satoshi in his life and does not know how it works, and how to buy or send bitcoin at all, has to pay some satoshi to be able to post in this forum at all is definitely not good and so we will completely refuse some people from crypto which is a tragedy that should not be allowed.
I feel very sad because of it.

I support both of you.
Royse777, I'm surprised that you are still waiting, I was thinking that you already became merit source.
Based on the posts reported, fillippone is one of he best candidate that I saw in the long time.
In fact, I don't understand why he had to apply for merit source at all?
Many have become merit sources without a formal application on the forum.
It seems that now candidates have to wait very long after application for merit source what is not good.

Dakle, priča ide ovako.
Već duže vrijeme govorim kolegama na poslu o bitcoinu i što je to, i o ovom forumu i mogućnostima da se bitcoin zarađuje bez rizika tj. ulaganja vlastitog novca, već kroz signature kampanje, projekte prevođenja i druge ponuđene projekte.
I konačno danas nagovorim jednog kolegu, nakon jakoooo dugo nagovaranja, da krene.
I već na prvom koraku, registraciji na forumu, blokada i čovjek odustaje, vjerujem zauvijek, i od bitcoina i od crypta.
Što se dogodilo?
Nakon obavljene registracije dobiva poruku da mu je IP blokiran, da je na tzv. ''listi zla'' jer mu je IP (njegov ili susjedni) ''prepoznat'' i da mora uplatiti određeni iznos da se odblokira i da može pisati na forumu.
Nisam imao pojma što se događa i konačno sam maloprije otkrio temu u kojoj se malo pojašnjava o tome: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5195733.0
OK razumijem da theymos želi zaustaviti spamere i da ima neke regije (čini se da je sada i HRvatska na popisu) koje su mu iz nekog razloga ''sumnjive'' i sve IP adrese iz tog područja blokira i traži da se za deblokadu IP adrese plati neki iznos u bitcoinu ali čovjek je tek ušao u btc svijet, nikada u životu nije poslao ni jednu btc transakciju niti zaradio išta, i još kada je vidio da je na nekoj ''listi zla'' zahvalio se i rekao da izlazi iz te priče i da ne misli plaćati ništa samo za pravo da bi pisao na nekom ''glupom'' forumu i da ne bi bio na nekakvoj listi zla.
Ne znam, čini mi se da je ovo pretjerano i da će odbiti nove ljude, koji tek ulaze u crypto svijet, kao što je definitivno odbilo mojeg kolegu koji se ovdje sigurno više neće vraćati, na žalost.
Što vi mislite o ovome?

Iza je pojašnjenje od themosa:

Ja osobno vjerujem da sigurno ima ljudi koji su razmatrali ovu ideju i zato sam pozvao našeg glavnog ''crypto'' businesmana, pokretača pilot projekta sa cryptom u Hrvatskoj Pošti i crypto payment servica Paycek da se javi i kaže nam što misli o toj ideji i da li će je pokrenuti.
Jedno vrijeme je bio dosta aktivan na ovom našem forumu ali pretpostavljam da je prezaposlen u zadnje vrijeme jer ga već dugo nema.
No, poslovni ljudi u svakoj priči gledaju prvenstveno poslovnu isplativost i zaradu a ne neke druge ideje potpun društvene koristi, promocije btc i sl. pa ono što je netko spomenuo, zašto bi neka poslovna ideja trebala biti isplativa već za godinu dana već može biti i za 5 godina, u poslovnom svijetu nije održivo.
Svaki poduzetnik mora plaćati tzv. ''hladni pogon'' znači troškove poslovnih prostora i režija, razne dozvole a naravno tu su i troškovi plaća, servisa i brojni drugi troškovi poput knjigovodstva, poreznih savjetnika, programera... i ako na kraju svega nije u plusu slijedi zatvaranje firme, i to je činjenica.
Znam to na žalost iz prve ruke, jer sam pokretao obrt u Hrvatskoj i firmu u V. Britaniji.
Oba puta sam morao zatvoriti i obrt i firmu jednostavno jer nismo bili u plusu i više smo trošili nego što smo zarađivali.

Hvala na upozorenju, dobio si merit!
Tko je slijedeći?

I ja također 
Najbolje ga ostaviti da se ''kiseli'' i zaboraviti na neko vrijeme a onda se vratiti i probati kada se dobro ''ukiseli'' 

First of all, it is rooted in their internal social and political relations.
In fact, in a country that is almost completely isolated from the world, private ownership does not exist, the political system is rigid communism and democracy does not exist, it is not realistic to expect people to live well and keep the economy in good shape.

I heard rumors that Mourinho already had some offers but he didn't accept because those offers didn't meet his standards, like Portugal national team, Roma, Sporting, Borussia Dortmund etc.
I think he's having a good fun right now as a TV football commentator and waiting for one of his rivals at Real, Chelsea, Bayern to lose his job so he can take over as coach again.

I don't agree with you.
Check out this topic in the Croatian section, for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4265795.0
I created it in order to help young members to earn merits for good quality posts, specially for the people who can't speak English well and don't feel comfortable to write posts in English part of the forum.
Basically, if you write good quality posts, you will receive merits.
We already have users who started from zero and now they are already legendary.

Great testimony TheUltraElite, congratulation!
I think that many users in your situation will just give up but you made great effort and contributed a lot to this forum.
Your advises are excellent and I hope that many new users will read and practice it.
Just, I don't think that many people will follow your suggestions.
Sometimes I feel that probably 50% or half people writing posts on this forum because they are in some signature campaign and trying to make some money 

Zanimljiv post, dobio si merit!
Tko je slijedeći?

A da ne govorimo da i sama lokacija košta, nigdje više bankomat ne možeš postaviti besplatno,
Onda, tu su i određene dozvole koje treba izvaditi, vjerojatno trebsaju i određene licence i sl.
Mi u Hrvatskoj već imamo firme koje se ozbiljno bave cryptom, pogledajte npr. startup Electrocoin i njihov ''pilot'' projekt sa Hrvatskom Poštom ili payment service ''Paycek.
Da je ova vaša ideja isplativa već bi je netko pokrenuo.

Evo ti merit nakon duuugo vremena
Hvala na informativnom postu.
Tko je slijedeći?

I don't think so.
I think they have other problem,  luck of confidence in the big and important matches.
In Europe we have every year about 10 always the same clubs who are candidates to win CL.
But,  in the last 4-5 years we hadon't always the same winner.
How is this possible?
Why almost every time Real,  and not Barcelona with Messi or Juve or Manchester City?
Confidence and experience I guess.

Ne možeš pomoći drugima već samo sebi.
Onaj koji se nada da će mu država ili netko drugi riješiti financijske probleme,  plaću i mirovine,  jako je naivan.
Svaka vlast kod nas je zapravo "dužnik " interesnih skupina i lobija i nema "snage " da se odupre tim pritiscima i počne mijenjati trenutni sustav privilegiranih kasti u društvu.
Svaki takav pokušaj bi značio politički "harakiri " za svaku takvu vladu.
Dakle,  promjena u društvu neće biti,  plaće i mirovine će biti sve manje,  padati će i razina kvalitete javnih usluga a jedino što svatko od nas može učiniti je pobrinuti se za sebe i svoju financijsku budućnost.
Što prije to shvatite to bolje za vas.

Merit za "malo kvalitetniji " post 😀
Tko je slijedeći  😀

Znam da nas povremeno prati i Nikola Skoric vlasnik firme koja je s poštom sklopila onaj deal o prodaji crypta.
Nikola,  nadam se da ovo čitaš i da nam možeš dati točnu računicu o isplativosti ili neisplativosti takvog BTC ATM uređaja.
