Possibly it's cause a large percentage of forum members are preoccupied with personal agendas on the forum, and would need to be incentivised to join in on a community project, especially if it's highly demanding.
There could be other reasons as well, cause a lot of highly knowledgeable members are not engaged on activities on the forum.

Individuals have different interpretations of the market, and media outlets take the perspective which is more likely to bring in more audience snd attract clicks.
As a trader or investor, take every news in opinions and speculations with a grain of salt, and draw out your own conclusions.

This is a very positive outlook on the market. It depends on the potential value an investor sees in bitcoin and speculative timeframe. A number if investors are surely already filling up their bags at the current prices, and some are cutting their loses and selling.

Rhe state accepting cryptocurrency as a currency is positive news and would endear its residents to own and use cryptocurrency. But people do not need bitcoin to be declared official inorder to use it for purchases so far it's not illegal within that state.

I stay away from currencies woth very low market capitalization, except they just concluded their ICO and have not had time to grow their volume and put efficient marketing in place.
Higher cap denotes more stability, and is fair to all investors regardless of the amount put in.

Regulation appears to be the way to go for nations like these who recognize the potential in cryptocurrency as well as the threats it poses to their native fiat currency. Some choose rather to outrightly ban it and make it illegal in their country.

You could not before gain merits by making your 30 posts on the forum, but you would be promoted to Jr member rank without having gained one merit as soon as your activity grows to match your post count. The system was changed and now you need to earn at least one merit.
There are already many guides in how to get merits on the specific boards.

The blockchain is not a wallet, but it's (roughly) the connection between the entire ecosystem and the means of transferring cryptocurrency from one wallet to another.
Wallets are of different types and are designed to store coins and tokens with certain algorithms.
A wallet designed for a specific platform ERC-20 for example can not hold bitcoin.

There are a number of actions you can make that do not violate forum rules but is unethical and frowned upon by the community. This could get you tagged at worse or put on the ignore list of other members and limit your chances of ranking up.
It is very possible to give out merits without making a spectacle of it, while rewarding quality posters.

The market now needs natural and sustainable growth  not be subject to price manipulations and power tussles at the top level.
Price pumps from airdrops usually results in similar crashes after the fork is completed, if it was the sole cause of the changes in the price

There is always space in any market for new entrants, its possible to break into the market, but you have to have a well laid down plan and a means to achieving that.
Starting an exchange would require funds, quailty website devs and marketing managers.

Precautions can be taken to prevent this, backing up your 2FA code would allow you access it on another device should you lose your phone or PC.
Authy automatically saves your profile and can be accessed using your email and password should you lose the original device.

Listening to only one source is likely to direct someone through a singular part, every enthusiast should read wide and listen to various contents.
Finding quality social pages and handles is difficult but after a while one would have had a decent compilation to choose from and use that to direct their actions.

A lot of people who got into bitcoin befire 2017 were rewarded either through Investments, bounties or receiving payment for services.
For others like myself who got in after the bubble, and without large capital earnings has been slow from bitcoin, but there has been a couple of altcoins which has been very rewarding.

I did not know, and thats because all these are your assessments and conclusions and not facts which can be verified. There are a lot of things to be positive about, as an enthusiast always be open and willing ti learn more about what is truly ongoing.

FOMO and FUD are reflections of emotions and how traders react to different situations and publications. FOMO and FUD also barely affects day traders, they are interested in short, quick changes in the value, and healthy market volatility.

Reporting such posts is the best alternative, especially if it adds nothing of value to the thread. Users who misuse the quote feature or any other posting feature, or those who post multiple times in roll mostly do not hang around Meta.
Report the post and the moderators would handle it and clean up the thread.

I have noticed over the years that as bitcoin matures as a currency it is more likely resists price manipulations. This is also evident in higher stability in the value which some call a stagnant market.
The bearish trend is not over yet, we would need an actual price surge above $5000 to entertain any discussions on that.

You are contributing if you offer your skills and services and demand pay in cryptocurrency, this is doing more for bitcoin than purchasing with fiat, if more employees demand payment in digital assets it would both cryptocurrency all over the world.
There are a handful of quality projects, bitcoin paying amd ICOs which are very profitable.

I hesitate on price speculations these days, especially short term predictions, the steady drop which began last November is still in effect, and the market is yet to recover.
I rather set longer term targets at this time
