You're right, the only problem with buying an existing business though is why are they selling that business, there's a possibility that they're doing something illegal behind the scenes and they want to get out of it as soon as possible or they're facing financial hardships and they don't want the burden so they want to pass it onto other people. But if the business that you're buying is clean and there's no anomaly whatsoever, then I think that it's much better than starting from scratch because you still going to learn the ropes anyways so why not choose to buy a business that already has established contacts of loyal customers unlike starting from scratch, you're going to establish it your own. The only upside of starting your own business is that there's more glory to it because you've worked for it.

This could be one the reasons for why the market is on the red although that article is 4 days old so I might be wrong. Totally agree that we shouldn't be worry, and if I'm being honest, I think that it's a good time right now to spend your fiat to buy cryptocurrency since most cryptocurrency are on the red meaning that they're somewhat selling at a discounted price.

What the hell are you talking about? You're clearly saying that if there's a few poor people, we should just leave them in abject poverty. Didn't you read the last part of my post? I'll highlight it, see what part there did I talk about giving everything in silver platter to the poor people. Well, yes you don't blame for no reason but if someone is clearly not helping the people when it's their responsibility, will you just stand by and be neutral? Remember who's on the deepest part of hell?

Asking for accountability isn't blaming, people like you are brainwashed so when someone complains about something wrong in the system, you fight those who questions the system instead of joining them.

Yes, it's a mistake because you have a myopic perspective on things as do I in this context. I didn't generalize that all farmers are poor but that's where you went. It's a matter of perspective I guess, you haven't seen or heard of farmers drowning in debt from paying their fertilizers and having their crops underpaid by the markets that they have no choice but to sell there, or the farmers who got massacred because they asked for a piece of land that they've been promised if they work on it. So yeah, not all farmers are poor and not all farmers rich. Are you also saying that there shouldn't be equal opportunity for everyone at the start in the last part of the sentence? And yeah, what made you think that an equal structure in hierarchy will lead to a collapse? Is there an empirical evidence of that?

I think it's a complicated problem that you're trying to solve. A country's economy that's plumetting has a lot of contributing factors and I don't think that bitcoin will be the panacea for those problems, maybe it can help with the financial struggles of that country but if the people in power is corrupt to the bone then that financial injection to help the country's economy will just be pocketed by those corrupt pigs. If we want to really solve the problem in economy, we need to be active at participating in discussions regarding economy, if enough people complain on something, the politicians will be powerlessso they will yield to what the people want. If you're talking on an individual scale, you can definitely survive or live well if you use bitcoin even if you're economy is crumbling down.

Much better if you don't talk about it and just show your results, people don't want to be recruited into a culture just because someone tells them that joining this will make their lives better when in reality that's not true. Make your information drives more publicly driven or disseminated instead of individualized so that you're reaching more audiences and you're not burdened by cold calling each individual as they're going to reach out to you instead and you can be sure that those who reach out to you will stay because they're curious. I don't like the idea of forcing people to do something and if you don't like it too then you will understand why you aren't successful at recruiting those people that you've had a talk.

That's cause they want OP to be on the same team as them, the diamond hands that will only sell their bitcoin for an unspecified and unknown (even to them) price which will only get higher and higher as the ATH keeps getting higher, they want OP to be like them, who wants to sell beyond what the current ATH would be which won't ever be reached. I would agree with you on OP learning the basics but I think he's still got a lot of time in his hands that's better off spent on living rather than be obsessed with bitcoin. OP should just learn about supply and demand model and I think he's good to go.

So is the fate of most presidential candidates that fund themselves for their campaigns, they've got nothing against those that have the backing of the either of two parties. I feel bad that that's still how we see political campaigns as popularity contest, the incompetent one that talk loud and overpower the smart ones will almost always win but I hope that as we grow as a global nation, we would see more change in that aspect and choose the right leaders that will put the people's interest first before their's.

Pretty nice publicity for bitcoin but I hope that the mainstream media has picked up on that because I don't see how it can really affect bitcoin in PR perspective if it's not shown to mainstream media where there's more people that don't know about bitcoin that watches there, comparing that to bitcoin/cryptocurrency news platforms that's mostly comprised of people that already know about it anyways.

For that to happen though, bitcoin has to become a staple digital currency worldwide, I'm not talking about just trading in exchanges but also being used to pay for day to day stuff like food and services without the worry or regret that you've overpaid for something because the price got much higher after you've paid in bitcoin. That's the only way that it's possible because there's only about 20 million bitcoin in circulation (removing the 1m that satoshi have) and we all know that with limited supply and very high demand, we will have to expect rise in prices.

Stupid question if I'm being honest. Relying on a prediction is the most retarded that you can do when you're trading, might as well withdraw that trading funds and bet on horse/dog races out there, you're more likely to win there by just relying on your prediction. Also, prediction doesn't take skill because anyone can do it and most likely your predictios would be biased so by that instance it becomes unreliable, speculation on the other hand, there's some reading on data and mathematics involved combined with prediction.

Yes it will be a problem because it's a literal leap in the unknown. For example, there's a hole that grants wishes but you don't know the chances, you will be throwing money there not knowing whether you will get the wish, it's the same with prediction, you hope that you're right blindly. People don't get their predictions right, no one has ever made it right even if they were close to the number that they've predicted, the only time that I would believe that someone is successful in prediction is when they're able to drop an exact number at the exact time.

Well, obviously it's going to do that but halving is nigh and we already know what happens after halving, the events leading to this hasn't been disproven yet so I don't think that we have to worry about anything regarding the price not going up because it's too dependent on the market situation. You're right that it won't be able to reach 120k though because it will surpass that and 180k would be it's peak, triple that of the previous peak which is pattern when it comes to halving peaks through the years.

The people living in poverty line aren't supposed to exist, the role that they play in the economy is that they are an indicator that there's inefficiency and incompetence when it comes to how the people that's in power run a country's economy. Poverty isn't something that any person should experience even if they are the lowest of the low in a society, anyone should have the access to basic needs like food and shelter. Making sure that everyone has a fair headstart makes for a competitive society that strives for greatness.

Your heart's in the right place but poor people is a generalization and not every farmer is poor. The people that thinks the poor is the problem are the type of people that doesn't think besides for themselves and lacks empathy. And the way you say it, the poor is being romanticized like they are the foundation of society when in reality it's the masses/labor force of a country.

Oh no, it's deeper than nepotism, more like corruption in my opinion because in some way nepotism can be a good thing when you know that the family that runs the country isn't running it to the ground and enslaving it's people. It's corruption from power and money that destroys the "American Dream" that many are trying to chase. It's a pretty idea, that's why the politicians promise that they will be the bringer of that dream when we all know that it's not going to happen, I think that this kind of system of false promises is in part the fault of the people who vote these politicians into power, if we were to carefully choose someone based on merit and competency and not because they have a way with words and they promise big stuff then I think that we're going to be off to a good start.

Regarding American Dream, I don't really believe it. I'll just leave to you what George Carlin says about the American Dream.

What you're talking about is a good inflation though which is around 2%-4% I think but most of the time it's always much higher so even if you're to defend that inflation is an integral part of the economy, the point still stands that a lot of country always gets past the good inflation and so it always gives the notion that inflation is bad, and don't get me started on the wage gap in order to keep up with the inflation, if that gap isn't that far apart, I am sure that we won't have any talks about inflation being a bad thing.

I think deep down, everyone knows that the solution here is to make fiat a limited supply and that the Federal Reserve can't create an infinite amount of money in order to increase spending. Reckless money printing is causing this shitstorm but they still continue to do it.

I was just toying with what I said too, definitely one of the greatest monologue in all the movies I've seen. That's why I said in my previous post the stuff about seeing things you won't believe and the moments which is a reference to that monologue.

What if they're really curious about, plus saying that you don't expect anything from them but failure is what makes it hard for newbies to even set their foot in the platform, a lot of you veteran users are too hostile when they ask what you consider dumb questions, of course they're dumb inquiries sometimes but you don't really have to reply if you're not answering the question anyway.

I like the idea but what if the user abuses that feature you know like creating their own echo chamber where the user and their chosen users can just delete the posts that aren't necessarily agreeing with their POV but still a valid opinion. Plus self-moderated would lose it's meaning, I think that it's the responsibility of the OP alone to clean the thread that he/she started. And if it's really a good idea in the first place, I'm sure @theymos would've added that feature a long time ago.

His avatar doesn't indicate more to come lmao, that's Roy Batty dying at the end of the movie Blade Runner or rather than dying, expiring. What that avatar indicates is that @Rikafip has seen things that we people wouldn't believe or that all the things we do no matter how significant or big to us will be lost in time, like tears in the rain...

They have the upper hand, they're going to let you wait some more, I am sure that this will all just lead to more waiting. In the transcript of your conversation, I can already imply that they're trying to make it sound like they need your pity and that they're problem is bigger than any of their customers and seeing how much money from the customers are stuck, I don't think it's going to be returned. I hope that I'm wrong about my speculation that they're not going to answer the questions about their credibility but the odds are stacked against them and they're not communicating clearly to establish some assurance.

My guy, by that logic that would mean that people in this forum would've heard about this and this account wouldn't be created this month or year but last year or probably last month because you probably have encountered some problem using the site even if you're saying that the exchange is good, you catching my drift? Now I'm not inclined to believe when someone accuses someone of doing scams online unless there's damning evidence to prove that they do definitely scam people online. For your defense though, OP's word has more weight compared to yours because he's got the evidences to back it up, now it's your turn or you're one of the many accounts used by boomchange.

Nice catch OP, even if you didn't follow the typical reporting format, I'm impressed by how you organize your evidences, I'm not so sure I agree with leaking the IP address though, I'm not the authority here but I believe that's doxxing right?

If AI proves it's worth that it can generate profit in trades much better than any human traders out there and that the scoreboard for the competition of Human vs AI produces a large gap then maybe that's the time that I'm going to try it out but right now it's too risky for me to use AI when trading, yes it's a time saver but I don't think that me losing a lot because there's some discrepancy in how the AI traded is a good trade for me.

I have a neutral opinion when it comes to trading bots, there's no trend of their usage yet meaning that it's not yet a good time to get in if you're not a good trader yourself because it's likely programmed in a way that it imitates human trading but at an upgraded level. Maybe when a lot of people are already showing results that are positive, that's probably the time that I would try it out.
