5601  Economy / Reputation / Re: [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human? on: April 14, 2021, 04:34:45 PM
I checked the list. He sent the merits to the old posts which already merited by him. He has too much merits and no time so he sent merits equaaly to the old merited posts by himself.

That’s what I do, but when I accumulate for a while, I remerit some of my previously already read and merited messages (no machine learning AI yet).

Thanks to this thread, and these comments, I've found the answer.

I was curious about this and I was thinking of sending him a PM because it has happened to me the times he has merited me, that after a while he would send me a merit again for the same post. In fact the last time was yesterday, and I didn't know why this pattern was happening.

Well, on the one hand, it is clear that millions of people are not dying because of the vaccine, as I have read in this forum, but on the other hand, this confirms the feeling that many of us have that there has been a great hurry to commercialize vaccines that give multimillion profits to the companies, shortening the deadlines and exempting them from responsibility. It seems that the percentage of cases are few, but I think that some states have preferred to act with caution rather than prioritize haste, especially when other vaccines are available.

I know quite a few people who have already had the vaccine and (I know that my environment is not a reliable sample) apart from the issue of cloths, it is the one that has given the most unpleasant effects.
5603  Economy / Speculation / Re: OK my apology Bitcoin is not a PONZI but I still call it a huge bubble on: April 14, 2021, 04:13:40 PM
but I still call it a huge bubble

And we still don't care lol.

Yes, lol.

OP, you have a problem. There are people who have been saying that Bitcoin is a bubble like the tulip bubble since it reached $100. Others were smarter and knew how to change their minds in light of the facts. Now you've only half changed your mind. Good. You're not going to change our minds no matter how much you write.



5604  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "COIN"- Coinbase IPO- Opens today- Thoughts? on: April 14, 2021, 04:09:24 PM
I am not going to buy but I think that:

1) Price swings, especially at the beginning, can affect the price of Bitcoin.
2) If it goes well, we may see a boom of IPOs of crypto related companies.
5605  Other / Off-topic / Re: Two years on Bitcointalk and success.......... on: April 14, 2021, 07:00:01 AM
Exciting story of overcoming adversity. Another thing that is also clear with this example is that you end up getting what you give. If you bring positive things to the forum, the forum also brings you, and not like the cases of people we have who take the fast track cheating and end up being discovered and banned.
5606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you limit your gambling time? on: April 14, 2021, 06:56:10 AM
This is about how do you make sure that you are gambling in full control. There are many people who are easily brought into gambling beyond fun and that is a problem for them and also for the gambling industry, because it is for them that there are limitations in many countries.

Do you actually...
- Have a weekly budget to play and do not ever go over it?
- Not ever get in debt for gambling?
- Have an allocated time for gambling and never exceed it?
- Gamble only socially with friends of relatives?
- Have someone helping you control your gambling?

In my case, I don't have a budget, because instead of losing I win, although some of us don't consider poker as gambling, but it is in what we call the gambling industry. I usually set a time limit, because playing long sessions or too many hours at the end of the day can make you tilted, as well as playing tired, etc. And for the rest you ask, no, I don't gamble socially, I don't get into debt and I don't need help.


5607  Other / Meta / Re: The mods here deserve a dildo in their ass on: April 14, 2021, 06:36:43 AM
I am not surprised that I have the OP on ignore. I have entered the thread because from the general overview it does not appear as ignored (in blurry).  i_am_viral protests a lot but in another forum he would be banned already, I guess in this one they have not done it because freedom of speech is respected to the maximum.
5608  Other / Archival / Re: Is JayJuanGee a CUNT? [Asking for a friend.] on: April 13, 2021, 11:10:55 AM
I understand that the thread is meant as a joke. On a more serious note, I really enjoy reading his long paragraphs. I can tell he knows the subject, he is an early adopter and has a positive vision about Bitcoin and the future evolution that he transmits. I have seen him argue but with shitcoiners and the like, which is normal.
5609  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC reached ATH 62K - are we on another milestone, 100K? on: April 13, 2021, 10:53:11 AM
I believe it is what most of us are expecting. There is no reliable prediction about the price of less than $100k for this year. It's a simple matter of supply and demand, and the institutions that are buying are not doing so to trade short term, but to protect themselves from massive central bank printing.


5610  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why do you like this forum? on: April 13, 2021, 10:47:11 AM
It's simply the best forum about Bitcoin. I visit other forums, or rather other sections of forums that talk about Bitcoin and I can say that the best is here. There is some garbage too and shitposting, but if you know how to sift through it you can get a lot of good information here. Besides, I feel like one of the family and visiting the forum has become a routine that I enjoy.


5611  Economy / Speculation / Re: I just realized I'm 99.9% crypto and 0.1% in fiat on: April 13, 2021, 10:41:28 AM
In my case around 65% index funds/stocks, around 33% BTC 2/3% cash. I don't know if we should count RE here but so far no one has included it in their explanation. I recently saw a video about Billionaires which was mainly about them having only 1% of their net worth in cash. It is normal, if we think that cash is trash that depreciates at a high speed.

5612  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Do you give panhandlers money? on: April 13, 2021, 10:33:32 AM
I normally do not give to panhandlers, because as has been mentioned many times they are in that situation as a result of poor choices, and many times they spend it on drugs. I do donate occasionally to organizations that I trust.
5613  Economy / Speculation / Re: Pi cycle top indicator just crossed on: April 13, 2021, 07:55:47 AM
The post you wrote would be more complete if you had put a link and/or a summary of what the Pi Cycle is.

For example: Pi Cycle: Is the Bitcoin Bull Run Coming to an End?

The Pi Cycle indicator very accurately predicted the end of the run in 2013 and 2017.

The crossing of the two moving averages was a signal of an absolute top.

With the current dynamics of price action, the cut may take place in just two weeks.


I simply believe that this is a model like so many others, which may or may not be right. The fact that it has been right once does not mean anything.
5614  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Religion in our society on: April 13, 2021, 07:49:22 AM
Because after commiting crimes they go to mass, go to confession and are forgiven after praying 3 Hail Marys.

This applies to believers; I don't think religion has any influence on non-believers.
5615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin costs on: April 12, 2021, 01:17:58 PM
Apart from what NeuroticFish has said, I'd recommend you to visit and read the following thread:

Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs!

As he mentioned to you, there are times of the week when fees are cheaper. I found that thread when I wanted to send a small transaction and the fees were going to cost me the same as sending the transaction. It happened to be a Sunday, so after reading the thread I selected a much cheaper rate and the transaction was confirmed quickly.
5616  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Security Measures to prevent getting hacked? on: April 12, 2021, 01:13:38 PM
I'm with mocacinno on this one. The best security is having a hardware of paper wallet. I'd say the vast majority of the forum store their holdings in one. You may want to do some trading, thus depositing and withdrawing from exchanges that's where the other advice given in the thread comes into play, apart from the fact that they are also good as protection in general.
5617  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Copper - a 5-year investment for those with no capital. on: April 12, 2021, 09:31:57 AM
I prefer stacking sats to stacking trash.

Me too. Moreover, with much less effort, and everything points to the fact that sats will continue to be much more profitable than any other type of trash. What the OP says about :

Well that window has closed,

is simply not true.
5618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: “Bitcoin is the laughing stock of our firm” on: April 12, 2021, 09:25:54 AM
Surely they don't need Bitcoin to make good money. It reminds me of when people criticize Buffet and Munger for their views on Bitcoin, but you have to remember that they don't need it to get rich.

On the other hand, the bit about how in their firm they spend all day laughing at that reddit subforum sounds like trolling to me. That person may not even work on the firm he says and is writing from his mom's basement while eating Doritos.

But, finally, yeah, there are many people in denial following the principle: don't let reality to spoil your theories.
5619  Other / Politics & Society / Re: TWO PARTY SYSTEM; The Best? on: April 12, 2021, 09:19:44 AM
There is no single system that is the best. In this case, the two party has the disadvantage that minority opinions or sectors are not represented or are underrepresented. But the system with many parties also has the disadvantage that it is difficult to get them all to agree, and that sometimes by means of pacts a very minority party obtains advantages for its sector of voters that are exaggerated for the few votes it represents.

solved by algorithms

There is no way to solve exactly that you dont know the other persons cards, human skill is still probably best at this (because we can recognize each others patterns).  

You are right that Poker is a game of incomplete information and as such, algorithms cannot be applied to solve it as one would do in chess. But there are so-called Poker Solvers, which analyze all the possibilities and give you the most optimal solution based on the data.

what do yout think about a new game, which involves both luck and skill like poker?

It is difficult for an alternative to Poker to succeed. Besides, if it is a mixture of luck and skill, like Poker, solvers can also be applied to it, so we have the same problem, your objection would still apply.
