We just got a new ban appeal thread. And the member was quickly exposed as a copy paster, but yet started a thread, and claimed to only write original content.

It was suggested to put a link to the reason for Ban, but that is a lot of work. And I fear we would still have such threads regardless.
Plagiarists do not read the rules, or the numerous appeal threads, so very possibly majority of them would always appeal regardless what is done

It could very well be fake volumes reported by the exchanges. If the coin is listed on very few exchanges or just one, then there are no options for CMC to draw up an aggregate trading volume.
It could hardly be manipulations or market makers

Day trading does not consider the fundamentals and product of the coin. The major factors are price volatility, and easy liquidity.
You would also need the full details on where the coin or token is listed, at what value and the various base currencies (trading pairs).
The more options the better, the coin should have sufficient volume and if possible be listed on numerous exchanges.

Some of these account may have been hacked and the new user deleted majority of the old posts and that led to the high ratio of merits per post.
I am not entirely sure, but some could also be users who received airdropped merits and then deleted all their old posts.
Although some is pretty obvious merit abuse.

I do not hold bitcoins as yet, although i have stored up in some very promising altcoins which has good products and high potential return on investment. I do not yet use the applications of these coins, amd am more concerned with the profit value.
I am learning more on the product value of bitcoin and some other altcoins.

It is always helpful to add contents when posting links on to the forum. And also the type of response you expect and your opinions about the content being shared.

This video was seemingly made fir entertainment purposes, but it's also displays the reality were people'get' into cryptocurrency without understanding what exactly it is.
Knowledge is the first goal for a newbie, before considering investing money into it.

Faucets were profitable a couple of years ago, but now with increasing number of scam websites it's a risk.
Also an enthusiast should not need extra incentives to read more about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

The possibilities are endless in this network. And there are ways to earn which is more rewarding, as long as you can get the background knowledge.

Draw up the relevant documents and have them signed, it should also state the exchange rate for bitcoin to fiat at that time.
Ensure it's a direct transaction, done face to face. Asides this, just take the necessary precautions as when paying with other currencies.
You would surely need a lawyer, but that lawyer does not have to act as an escrow, as the transaction can be done instantly using high transaction fees

The plagiarists reduce the quality of discussion in the forum, and I do not support their paying a fine day enable them continue spamming the forum. The forum should not profit from such actions.

Disabling signatures is a good option in cases of 'silly mistakes', but when a user regularly copy and pasted contents in order to complete bounty tasks, or to try and gain merits, they should not be given a second chance.
And this category constitutes the majority of bans, very rarely do we see users not wearing signatures get banned for plagiarism.

How about conducting a survey asking specific questions, and would take far lesser time to complete. It's very unlikely to get someone on the phone for 'an hour or less'. Considering distance, phone bills and difference in time zones.

This is also dependent on the type of trade being practised, short-term day trade, or longer periods. And it's also dependent on the coin being invested in.
Strategies are guidelines, but when trading, instinct sticks out more. And this is acquired through practice and experience.

The stock market has been in a decline for quite sometime now, and for majority of that time bitcoin was also on a similar decline. So the stock is not inherently responsible for the current upward push.

Bitcoin ETF approval, bakkt and futures launch would have a massive impact on the price of bitcoin and indeed the entire Cryptocurrency market

Much detail is not provided as to the nature of the scam, but this would serve as a red flag to investors to carry out effective research on this projects and also aid them on what to look out for in other projects not listed.

This would be helpful for traders in general, not just newbies. Everyone is exposed to possible scams.

The common idea here in the forum is to go in in bitcoin, and you can hardly go wrong with BTC.
There are also other great investment in alternative currencies;
Ripple, XRP is a good investment. It might be somewhat centralized. So do your research properly.
Countinghouse, CHT is also a very good project launched in 2018. It has made solid growth in the space of a few months.

The blockchain can be useful in some areas of healthcare.
It doesn't have to be a direct impact, the blockchain can facilitate the transportation of pharmeuciticals and ensure safe delivery.

As far as I know, there is no rule against quoting someone else's post into your reply, it is a feature made available by the forum and it's used by multiple members.
It's possible your reply was off topic ot it had already been made by another member.
If you provide a copy of it, that would help to decide.

How about in additional to your communication skills, you take out time to grow your technical skill as well. To sell yourself, you have to constantly improve yourself.

There are services that are needed by a majority of projects, but you need to have specific knowledge. Only very few will take a gamble with you based in your own recommendations.

This has been suggested by Theymos and discussed, here;

There has yet to be any system to reward reports implemented, but it is surely on the cards. There is so much work being done about the forum at the moment, probably why it has not yet been launched.

The OP on that thread appears to have broken multiple forum rules;

It's quite surprising that the thread has been on for years without getting spotted. Or that it has not been reported attempt some time already to the mods. That is probably why the OP on the thread thought to start a thread in it, to get the needed attention.

Its pretty simple really, exchanges profit from regular trades, and trading competition is profitable, hence they promote it.


That is definitely one of the reasons, that is the idea sold by upstarts and ICOs, still trying to get a foothold.
With bitcoin, regular use smis encouraged to boost adoption.
