Bitcoin lending between individuals here on the forum has lasted for quite a while and has only recently become less used.
Between businesses may not yet be much advanced, but the concept is similar, and some use it as a way of trading without capital.

This is based on the assumptions that bitcoin's price at the time of hypee inflation in a country remains stable or moves upwards against the US dollars which it is tied to.
You would equally be considered to be losing money should bitcoin drop with the national currency remaining the same. Both scenarios would not matter unless you convert.

Bitcointalk community is necessary for only technical questions, or ones which are subject to personal opinions.
Inquiries like these;
can easily be answered with a google search or a forum search.
As for Global adoption should be in the future of the Bitcoin network. And the blockchain technology would be explored more in the future as more upstarts spring up.

This is the first time am learning about the Lindy effect, and there is a level of merit to its concept. People are wont to trust an idea or technology which has stood the test of time, only the very daring investors take the risk with an untested protocol.
Bitcoin has survived over the years, and is now garnering support from those earlier dismissed it

Members of the forum do not make bitcoins, a better word would be to earn bitcoins. There are a number of programs run on the forum by which users can earn bitcoins, and majority of the bitcoin paying signatures are sponsored by gambling sites.
Some users find signatures distasteful, and have the option to change their profiles to not view other users signatures. Approach advise from anyone with apprehension.

Bitcoin dows give the holder a certain level of control over their wealth, and it is not impossible to convert without getting caught, especially if the holding address is not known.
Also the market cap is not fixed and and can grow, it can also drop further as well. There are downsides to every technology.

Simply storing your assets does not always help it, except of it's some random project which has limited volume and would lose value with regular trades.
Projects which have utility as a means of transaction or to be used on a platform would not be much affected by trades. They expect the tokens or coins to be in high demand.

The idea of suggesting payments in bitcoins to retailers is practical if you are involved in direct trades and business, or an entrepreneur and both parties are involved in negotiations.
Regular individuals would have to approach management of organizations to accept cryptocurrency. This is difficult in countries with limited exposure to bitcoins and issues of legality.

While stop loss can not be over emphasized, traders should also be aware of take profit feature. I do notknow how many sites use it, but it's an efficient tool. While minimizing losses, also plan to maximize profits, amd get pulled out of a trade once you hit your target profit.

There is more to price movements than public sentiments and opinions. There are lots of factors that affect demand (price at which investors are willing to buy) and supply (price at which people are willing to sell)
Hype could be triggered by many factors.

Not how you can earn one merit, the question is how to earn merits. Anyone who can earn one can equally earn another and more with more posts
Put more effort into your posting, and improve your grammar.
Choose a section and learn more about it.
Brush up your post history. Some delete their previous posts and start off clean.
Don't beg for merits.

This is not a situation of miners greed, it's rather how the network has been created. It allows transactors tobdetermine how fast they want their transaction to take. The higher the fee the highest the priority and the faster it's confirmation. This does not result in double spending either.

Volatility is just one of the factors traders consider, and not everyone looks for high volatility. Whatever the situation, it all depends on the traders experience and ability. Volatility would have a negative effect if you are lossing out in a trade.

There has also been innovations in the forum interface, a MORE option was added to compile helpful links and support and make it easier to access for the community. It contains three links now:
Buy a copper membership
Support for hacked/lost accounts
About donations
I predict more helpful links will be added as time goes.

A cryptocurrency trader may or may not be protected by the law depending on his origin and country or residence. Regulatory laws and boundaries is highly nuanced. Majority of cryptocurrency enthusiasts prefer decentralization.


News and price speculations are quite different. Updates on the networks of any currency can be predetermined, and it would be communicated if any changes are made. Similar to any system.

There is no thorough method with which to check increase or decrease in adoption. It is still being accepted by a few merchants, and bitcoin ATMs are expanding, but actual investors can not be aggregated.

This is yet but a dream, cryptocurrency is nor yet robust enough to become the global currency and support all forms of transactions.
A few more years down the line, bitcoin would be in a better position to truly disrupt the financial system.

This has been suggested multiple times, restrictions on signature for members who have failed to earn a single merit should be extended to those who had merits airdropped. Theymos has talked about how anyone who can not earn the minimum is not needed on the forum, this should be all inclusive

There are delegated addresses for specific issues. Banned accounts contact this address- banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com,
For account recovery; locked or have accounts, contact this address- recoveries...@bitcointalk.org.

If you have some other issue you would have to specify it maybe the community can give you the right address to contact, if any.

Not only is the article old, dating to last year, it also reflects the actions of the a country towards those within it's jurisdiction. The bitcoin community transcends the borders of a single nation.
And while the news was released close to the time of the dip I doubt it had an effect.
