Your threads in the last weeks have been great, not just because they earned you merits, but I read most of them and I was able to grab alot and educate myself more, most especially your thread on the LN and Bitcoin Android wallet, its good the way you make it all that simplistic, as I'm still trying to learn everyday, thank you.

Congratulations, you moved very fast from full to senior member, good improvement, we'll all take a lesson or two from this.

I’ve always said that the real challenge is not in obtaining the first few merits, but in moving along the middle to higher ranks. It’s doable of course, but it does require one to put in quite a fair share of time into it.
It's indeed a real challenge, and the time factor you mentioned plays a big role, for users who are really tied up with one thing or the other in real life, they could spend more time in a particular rank than another user(with almost the same knowledge)who is more often less busy and has more time to spend here.

But the best thing to do is to make the best of every time spent here, and that's exactly what I try to do, and if you keep believing the next rank will come and you're doing well to get it, it will take time, but you'll rank up.

And why do you need to create a coin for this business?
Just to complete the IEO and give out their shitcoins, and we are sure nothing will be done concerning improving the healthcare system through the blockchain technology. If they are really concerned about the HS, then they will focus on use cases of the BT that will advance the HS, not creating a shitcoin for their own selfish reasons, why do these IEO and ICO's always come out with good ideas and plans, but they always don't want to work hard to make it a reality.

Barcelona vs Dortmund is a match that will be exciting Dortmund must win against Barcelona because if they lose then Inter Milan will have the chance to enter the next round,
This group is really tough, and every match is like a final, you cannot just predict who will win and who will qualify at the end, I think this particular game will end in a draw, Barcelona are still yet to convince me this season, and I think any team that really prepares well to face them, hoping Messi has an off day, can beat them. I think Barca and Inter will be the teams to make it to the next round.
This result is clear as day, Tottenham will win this match, I think 2-0 would be sufficient. Trivia: Mourinho never fails at the group stage, and he never will :p
Mourinho has been in charge for just one game, he is still trying to figure out his best team and players, I believe this is the time olympiakos can get a result for themselves, I will be predicting a 2.2 draw in this game.

The truth is that I do not believe there is a perfect or a right way to bet in sports, every betting strategy works and also fails, so doesn't that mean that they are all good and also all bad when things go the wrong way.

The thing is never try to make profit quickly, take your time with your bets, even if it's slow income, it's better than rushing into a fast and big loss, I know how difficult it is to make profits through betting, so any strategy that works for me, I stick to it, no matter how slow and low the income is, I take it that way.

I like the effort you put into the video, but I think you need to do more studying about bitcoin yourself so you'll be able to do a simplistic and more informative video, your video is about seven minutes long, but you just seemed to spend about two minutes introducing yourself and the channel. Watching videos is not quite easy to do for many people, so it would be better short with the nail hit on the head quicker.

And also there are numerous high quality and also informative videos on Youtube explaining that same content, you need to do more work on yours if you want anyone recommending it to beginners.
5507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: November 25, 2019, 12:41:55 PM
It is possible to occupy 4th place because of the difference in points far next week Manchester will face Aston Villa and it must win because the next match will face Tottenham. I will be difficult for Manchester United to move up the table.

The top four have around 7 points difference with the #5. So, in order for United to get inside the top 4, then one of the teams must lose at least 3 times and at the same time, United keep winning their game.

That's a tough task, considering the current top 4 has consistent runs.
Do we even need to go through all the mathematics to see the impossibility of united making into into the top four, we just need to watch their games, and understand that with the level at which English football is at now, that team(united)can't be among the teams that'll be present to compete in the UCL next season, if they do not improve even, they may miss out totally on European football(even the Europa league)
Solksjaer = Norweigan PE teacher
Lol, the PE teacher would be sacked very soon, I think it's because he's a club legend, that's why he's still even in the job.

Real Bitcoiner will HOLD and will never panic in such situations.  
I do not believe the option to hodl or not to do so decides who a true bitcoiner is, we all have preferences and areas we're good in. If one knows he can afford to buy bitcoins and keep them for years without worrying about the bear period, then they are good hodlers, some others do better in daytrading and some people sell off to cut their losses.

I do hodl, and I advice people to do same, but rather than hodl and lose sleep whenever there's a bear market, it's better to sell off at intervals when you've made some profits at least, and buy again when it's convenient for you.
5509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Mobile Mining exists at all? on: November 24, 2019, 02:19:55 PM
For me any coin that can be mined with a mobile phone is a shitcoin, those mining this coin you mentioned probably have hopes that the price of the coin could go up in years to come, but if we are to be honest with ourselves, we know it would probably not happen.

Yes I know It was easier to mine bitcoins before, but that is the bitcoin, look at its use case, it was a super product from day one, it just needed time, but this altcoins today isn't any of that, and mining this coin or any of them is going to be a waste of time.
5510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reality of some Deflation tokens on: November 24, 2019, 01:23:33 PM
This strategy is similar to that of the deflation tokens but the deference is in the quality of the project and their contributions to the industry
You're correct, the idea of deflationary tokens is not a bad one, neither is it as scam as some people may think, but the projects are coming out with just that strategy alone and that's very foolish, you cannot just create a coin and burn a particular percent at a particular time and expect that to be the master plan that'll lead to the success of the product.

If the coin is good, has a good use case, real good product, then burning tokens may not be a bad idea as the supply would be reduced at intervals while since the product is good, it will attract more users and the demand would go up, which would increase the price of the coin too.
5511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which wallet best for your currency store? on: November 23, 2019, 07:19:57 AM
Number one is a terrible advice, you can buy and sell cryptocurrencies on coinbase, but do not hold or store your coins on any exchange, not even coinbase. Didn't you hear of the Mt Gox hack, the Bitfinex hack etc, research properly so users aren't misled by your information.

Trezor wallet is the only advisable one on your list, it is a hardware wallet and can provide it's customers good security of their coins.
5512  Other / Meta / Re: The Bitcoin Forum is 10 years old! on: November 22, 2019, 09:28:49 PM
TBH cryptocurrency and bitcoin would not be fun for me without this forum, I'd just have my coins to myself, with nowhere to talk about them, no where to learn about how to secure them, nowhere to know what's trending and nowhere to learn from others.

Bitcointalk is just like attending school for me everyday, but I wouldn't want to graduate from this "school", I want to be here always, happy birthday to us.
5513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: JuSt a wish on: November 22, 2019, 05:54:16 PM
It is not going to be possible to force those top exchanges to reduce their fees because the cryptocurrency market is not at its best time now, they have a reason why they charge high, and that is the same reason why it's only serious projects who are really ready to spend in order to promote their product that would get listed on those top exchanges.

And about the Binance IEO you talked about, do you think Binance would just allow any shitcoins to conduct IEO on their platform and ruin their reputation, no they wouldn't, all this measures are good to encourage this projects to work hard, they can't simply be having it so easy and scamming people in the process.
5514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: November 22, 2019, 12:43:13 PM
Mourinho mostly thrives of expensive transfers. It would be interesting to know how Tottenham's transfer activity changes now that he is their coach. If they get busy in the transfer market and buy players then i think Mour can turn them into a cup winning team.
Isn't that what every big coach in the game today does, pep had a horrible first season, he made the club buy exactly the players he needed, and he was able to win the EPL back to back. You cannot perform well as a coach if you do not have the players to play your style. Spurs hardly spend money during transfer windows, but the audacity alone to make mou the second highest earning coach in the world means they are ready to spend as much as city and other big teams in the next transfer window(not in January though)

Another thing is, it will be interesting to see the calibre of players Mourinho would be able to convince to come play for spurs, we all know Spurs are not so much among the elite. If Mou is in a team like Madrid/chelsea or United, he can attract for example a player like Pogba, but in spurs can be do the same?
5515  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICOs: The "Soon" Game - For those who can hardly relate on: November 22, 2019, 08:02:29 AM
So many users have been fulfilling KYC requirements since 2017 till date, giving out their home address, pictures, passport etc to someone they do not know, someone you cannot be sure what they are going to do with such important documents. If you care about your safety, privacy and security, stop meeting KYC processes.

So many of those ICO's just as your story goes never got listed, you could wait close to six to seven months for the whole process to be completed only for the coin not to get listed, at the end of the day, users would be left with unlisted tokens in their wallet. Sad
5516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good trading volume doesn't mean a token is good on: November 22, 2019, 07:28:43 AM
I'd still prefer those coins with good daily volumes though. I mean if they are attracting investors to trade their coin, then that would say they are still healthy and kicking.
It is not the best thing to do, there was a coin that was trending at the beginning of last year, and the buzz was so much, there was so much investors, prospects, their telegram handle was booming as people spoke of how the coin will get to the moon and how they'll get their lambo, the trading volume was so high and I had to join in and I bought quite a lot.

I still regret that till today, slowly the whole buzz was dying down, we then realized they actually didn't have any use case, it was all just a plan to attract investors, and the volume was actually fake. Soon they stopped conversations on the group, you could only read their fake updates, according to them they changed ceo and we never got to hear from the new one. That was the end of that coin with all their trading volume, it can mislead investors.

Hopefully, they don't take it too personally, especially coming from pundits who make money by spewing some bullshit regularly.
And some of this pundits have actually tried out their luck as managers and they all performed poorly, individuals such as Gary Neville, thiery Henry, Scholes etc, they all had difficult times during their short spell as managers and this lead to early departures, it's easier to sit and criticize than to be put in that position to do something.

I saw some websites yesterday claiming pochettino would perfectly fit Manchester City, if pep Guardiola leaves at the end of the season, I am forced to believe that could be true, poch's style of play has some similarities, but I do not think Guardiola would leave city this season.

It is a scam, the second you send him that 2 bitcoins, he'll either stop communicating with you, or if he feels you're gullible, he could come up with a different story to get more money from you, it's in your best interest to cut that communication with that scammer. What platform are you communicating in, report his account there, he is a scammer.
A person I know, who I have been in contact with for months now (through social media), has been trading bitcoin for me and some friends. Everything seems to be fine and seems to be really trustworthy.
Never entrust your funds to someone else to trade for you, they(scammer)would initially build trust with their victims so you do not suspect anything, then you'll think they are trustworthy and can also refer others, the moment they've done that, they would start their request(scam attempt), just as you're asked to deposit 2 BTC for shit. If you do not know how to trade, do not trade till you've learnt how to do so.

Hello there,
I posted my link since forever and you didn't even give a comment about it
This is the post you're referring to that was neglected right, while the post may not be too bad, neither is too good also, but I would advice that if you really have any plans to earn merits for yourself, you must decide if you want to rank up or if you want to continue with your social media bounties, because thats what I could find when I went through your post history.

I actually reviewed it, hoping I could find some other posts other than the one you linked, but I could not, maybe thats why you have not earned any merits on the forum, the merit sources and users who give merits most times check post history before they do so, especially if it is a newbie they want to give merits to.
5520  Other / Meta / Re: I'm Hero Member Now - Thank You Everyone on: November 20, 2019, 09:12:02 AM
Just enjoy the challenges, keep the dream to rank up, and keep positive contributions to the forum.
It is really a challenge, a good one, when you get to see other users ranking up, you're surely going to challenge yourself to follow in their footsteps, except of course you do not have any goals on the forum, or you're not a good poster, but if you're not any of that you'll love to pick up the challenge and see how you can also earn merits, to see how long it'll take to get to a higher rank.

The merit introduction challenges users to do better on the forum. Congratulations webtricks on being the newest hero member, and also thanks for this thread to motivate and encourage more users.
