It's a long term invest my friend!
Short term refers to investing to businesses with as short  period of time, considered from days to few months only, while looking where to invest your money in a longer period of investment usually for a year or years...

I'm not having trouble with the merit right now since Facebook campaign and Twitter campaign percentage on the division of bounty price is increasing unlike before na 5% lang ngayon is may 10-15% nah, yon kasi ang inaalala ng iba yong steak since nakadepende ito sa rank mo, eh kong forever kang JR. idi forever din na .5 or 1 steak ka lang every end of campaign, isa din kasing epekto yon ng merit. yong na stop din yong opportunity for you earn and have more number ssteak, hindi ko naman sinasabing muka akong pera nuh pero syempre kailangan ko din ng mas malaking award kong sakali at magagwa ko lang iyon kapag umangat and rank ng account ko.

Parang off topic yong first line ng sagot ko nuh? Pero as long as na gets nyo iyong mensahi okay na ako.

Ibig sabihin non, kapag hindi ka pa rin nabibigyan ng merit para umangat yong rank ng account mo  at naliliitan ka sa Bountry award mo kasi mababa anf steak ng Jr. Member wag mo sisisihin yong merit at wah kau gumawa ng thread kong saan ibubuhos nyo yong galit nyo, gawa na lang kayo diskarte, mas masmasaya pa.

Isama mo na rin ang SAudi Arabia diyan, nabasa ko sa FB wall ko about their central bank trying to support ripple, so, may tendency na lalaki ang presyo nito sa bangketa.

Look for a person to explain it to you personally! If you have friends try to have a conversation with them, or not try to visit youtube channels and try typing your question their, there are lots of tutorials videos there.

Try to use your twitter account if you have thousands of followers or thousand friends on Facebook, some campaign doesn't care if you're a newbie if you join FB and twitter campaign but please read the rules.

If bitcoin wasn't created, maybe today there is something similar occasion occurring, it might not the same as bitcoin or other crypto but most likely online business with an online transaction with online wallets.

To be honest, people love free things and since many ICOs are distributing and giving free tokens before their project launching and that's what makes them look for more, some are thinking practical but some are not investing. reason?? ---don't have money to use as capital in investing, and I am one of them.

To be honest gathering merit from a different user here is very difficult because they have a lot of preference to call you post worth giving merit.
Just ask your FB friends to give you if they are here, though three of my friend gat a red mark because they are giving only their merit with the group.
We know it's not fair to others but, I don't blame them because of its called practicality.

You can not tell every that "DONT PANIC!" it will pass soon. Since many coin holder gat panicked that if they hold a little longer they will loss everything. They have their own mind to make their own decisions, the only thing is we can give them advice that make them hold a little bit.

Good for you to make 1900 from your 100, now, what your target before this year end? Like how far your 1oo can reach until December 2018?
That's the point, and investing also into other coins is a good option especially if you are a risks taker... but making sure everything will end in a win situation.

What? What? What? Whats the point?  Cryptos' future is uncertain, but the point is people and coin owner or creator is looking for another way of using their coin beside on pure business, their price may be crushed today but the certain point is people are still into it and that's a big factor.

People Hodl their coins and waiting for the coin's sunrise before they sell their assets, but when we say panic selling, e.g. If a person bought a bitcoin in $10000 in January 2, 2018, the price increase to $100000 before the months end and then suddenly drop the price to $11000 on February 15, then this person suddenly panic because he is anticipating that the BTC price will drop lower than $10000 then he suddenly sell his Bitcoin. That's it.

Same like, you are using money in your daily life, however, have you ever how money was printed? How do they get their serial number? The measurement of its width and length? Have you ever research on its history?

Nah---- Many of us was studying on how to earn ETH and how to make this coin more useful in their daily life, rather than researching its background and how does it grow, since you will know it someday. An honest answer.

Bitcoin for me is such a blessing for everyone who would like to earn or who want to have a success by being member of its society, no matter what their status in life. That's how I see it at one angle.

I think giving merit to someone is not that bad, it's up the giver also if he or she just like the post and they can give Merit point how much they want, but some people misunderstood the process, some people ask 'why I haven't received any merit yet, I have posted usefully thread compared to the shit post created by this user? And he was given 5merit for it?

The point also is if someone like your post whether it's a so-so post, if the reader find it amusing and interesting  based on his or her taste then they can give Merit if they want to since they have point to give!!!!! But if didn't send anything Then move on!!!!!!!!!!!

Meron naman pong every rules ang bawat serbisyo, hindi lahat costumer ang masusundo kasi nga alam po nila ang mga naging problema ng mga nagdaang member nila, at basi duon, gumawa sila ng mga patakaran upang maiwasan ang mga di magandang nangyari.

Most of them are just creating same thread just to ask same question again, some are just innocently asking to make sure it's true, but the other are as what you say just spreading fake new to confuse others...

Buying bitcoin is no issue, whenever you want you can buy any amount of bitcoin, depend on your budget, but trading and investing is another topic.

Yes, people now a days, stay or spend more time in social media compare to how much time they spend on someone or talk to their family, social media distruct students on doing their study, specially when their no one around guiding them.

I am a person who get jealous every time I see someone gain fame on our work, gain earn more money compared to me and we only doing the same thing, I gat jealous when I saw someone has a new shirt/bag/pant / gadgets and many more, but when I realized that we need to be contented on what we have and if you want more you should work it out in a good way, slowly I changed.

People who are always insecure about something and looking for more that they could afford for, they gat jealous. But, a person who is contented with his life only fell envy.
