In the remaining ten days? I don't think so. Besides, I don't give a damn. It is clear to me that they will start to be approved sometime next year, which coupled with halving will push the price up but neither changes my plan, which is slow and gradual accumulation until the price breaks highs.

Really? I would never have imagined it. 

 


Where does it say that if you think a deal with a user is high risk but he already has two feedbacks he doesn't need any more? I just read:



I completely disagree with this. Feedback have a date and for me if someone had a successful trade with Ratimov in the past he should not delete what he wrote, simply if he thinks he is high risk now he should add negative feedback as of today.

You are asking others to do what you do not want to do: to enhance the danger of trading risk. You prefer it to be enhanced by deleting old positive feedback instead of adding current negative feedback.

I guess we agree to disagree on this.

Of course. And LoyceV is well aware of it.

The user base has been built on the strong foundation that in this forum you can get paid very well for writing. There are people living off this forum in third world countries. And for people from developed countries it is a good extra income. In the few forums I know where you can earn a few bucks, the pay is much lower than in this one. If signatures are totally banned from this one and go elsewhere, most of the userbase will leave.This has been talked about ad nauseam on the forum and I think the general consensus is what I am saying.

I will strike a discordant note here. 4 pages of congratulations because his mother gives him $90 in local currency? If you are young what you have to do is to train yourself to be able to get good incomes in the future and with the cash flow that you get to consider an investment plan among which is to buy Bitcoin. But if you are going to buy Bitcoin I hope it is for something more than just waiting for the price to go up.


And what do you expect, for him to buy a HW that is going to cost him about the same as that $90?

Not really. The most addictive games are the ones that can be played faster, so online games are more addictive than face-to-face games (online roulette over physical roulette, online poker over face-to-face poker, etc.).

In the 90's people went broke betting on horse races because they didn't have internet on their cell phones. Today they can bet 24/7/365 on a lot of varieties very quickly.

In my opinion what takes the cake would be slots.

Well, the thing about this is one thing that had been talked about in the past about the assumption of a global ban on signatures: that the traffic would go elsewhere. In this case, it happens partially, if the mixer campaigns go to shitcointalks.com part of the traffic will go from here to there, but I think not much, because here the remaining campaigns will still pay more. Although it is a warning of what could happen in the future in the face of more restrictions: that more traffic will continue to be lost in favor of other sites.

It looks like the OP doesn't have much money, and he better not invest the little he has because if he cares about a small dip in a clear uptrend he is a clear candidate to buy at highs for FOMO and sell at the slightest dip for FUD. You have to understand something called volatility, which in assets such as Bitcoin is higher than in other more traditional ones, and learn to recognize the trend within that volatility. 

The best explanation has been given by hd49728 but I don't know if it is too technical for the little knowledge the OP has. Trying to simplify it, I would say that the fee does not depend on the quantity. Right now you need approximately a minimum of $10 fee to send a transaction that is likely to be confirmed, whether it is $50 or $50,000. The inputs are more important, i.e. it is not the same if you have received $50 (or $50,000) in a single transaction than if you have received 5 transactions of $10, which will increase the cost. The type of address you are using also affects.

The OP doesn't express himself very well but I'll answer what he seems to want to ask, which is something along the lines of if you bought at a higher price than this, you appreciate the rise in Bitcoin.

I believe you do because otherwise you would have sold. Normally those who first bought at $60K or higher all the way down to $17K most sold out of FUD and panic. If anyone has held on all this time what they are going to see now is that we are on the doorstep of the best.

If the person sending a transaction does not understand the basic operation of how the blockchain works, in that a transaction to be confirmed needs to be included in a block, that blocks are mined in 10 minutes on average, but that being precisely an average can take much longer, well I think the issue is not so much to tell him not to overpay as to tell him that he has to understand how the blockchain works.


How are they programmed? With scripts? That would be another possible explanation.

I join my colleagues in congratulating you. It is another example of the many we see in the Nigerian community of this forum to popularize the Bitcoin there, apart in this case with a solidarity cause, which is even more praiseworthy. The fact that the gifts and food were bought with Bitcoin I think will make them curious.

I had previously taken this message from the other thread as sarcastic or something, but I see that you mean it, and I don't quite see the point of it, because on the one hand no one in the campaign has complained about it, and on the other hand, if I had the funds I would be very careful to move them even if it was to make a single transaction for you. I would have probably looked for legal advice, but it wouldn't have taken me long to find it, I think two weeks maximum, but maybe Royse777 is not in the same situation and it will take him longer to find it.

On the other hand, if the one who is questioning my having the funds is someone you yourself qualify as " trolls who publish delusional assumptions" I wouldn't worry in the slightest, but you have forgotten Gazeta, who I'm sure you don't qualify as a troll.


With this I agree and what is emphasized in bold seems to me to be key.

Bitcoin has triumphed in the last few years precisely because of the essential properties it has with respect to medium or high amounts, and it doesn't matter if it becomes mainstream because the people who can store and send those amounts are reduced. It is not even remotely the same people who can buy bottles of water.

Using the same criteria for Bitcoin as for altcoins makes no sense, when it is essentially different.

I find the subtle tone this topic has taken, both on one side and the other, quite amusing and entertaining. We'll see how it turns out, but it's certainly different from what we usually see in this section. Waiting to see what the next subtle move looks like, or if it ends with such subtlety.

(Edited to say that it seems it wasn't subtle)

Just by reading the title I knew it was going to be about Ratimov, who by the way has not logged in since a week ago and it seems that he has to pay back some money he received in advance in the last campaign he participated in, and for which he should still be writing.

Yes, OP, read about everything Ratimov has done, of which thread deletion is only a part, and you will be surprised, but you will understand better why is that thread like that in archival.

What a crazy thing out there. Luckily I haven't had small inputs for a while thanks to having consolidated with the minimum fee when I could and thanks also to having read LoyceV's useful thread about it. The best thing to do now is to wait. Paying $15 per transaction is not going to last forever.

Assuming it is true what you say, do you have another computer, or laptop or tablet? Because selling the computer and being left with nothing like it doesn't sound like a good idea. It is also not the same if you use it only to play games than to do work. Can you expand a bit on your situation?

In case anyone missed it, or doesn't usually visit that section, Royse777 posted a thread on B&H that contains useful tips on how to make money on the forum but contains a subtle part that I think has quite a bit to do with this:


The thread is:

How to sell yourserlf to potential advertisers | sales pitches included

To my mind the subtle part about icopress and GazetaBitcoin should be discussed here or in some other thread in the Reputation section, not in the B&H one.

Well after JJG and then Gazeta with his thread on Ratimov, this post is among the longest I've read on Bitcointalk.


Yes, I don't quite understand why it's here. I mean, it can be in this section because it actually contains useful tips but the subtle part about icopress and GazetaBitcoin I don't quite understand why it's here.

It would make sense that for the discussion with them at least that part would be in the Reputation section.
