This. I've registered in some crypto casinos and there is no way they know whether I am a minor or not. Another thing would be for them to somehow realize, which is very unlikely, that one of the registered players is a minor. In that case I think they would close the account.

Anyway, OP if you are a minor you'd better not play.

Of course, that's what I think when I see news like this. They are not a boom for bitcoin but they are another step on the road to mass adoption. There is quite a lot of news like this that you see from time to time on the forum but I dream of seeing the day when this is not even news.

By the way, I haven't seen one such machine near where I live, I also dream of seeing one.

That's what I was thinking about. Something tells me that a person who opens a post like this, without doing a search first, is not going to rank up.

If I had looked for it, I would have found it easily. I think that's what most beginners who end up ranking up do.

Yes OP, do as @Royse777 says.

There is another alternative. I do pretty much the same using google. I can show results from bitcointalk.org only if you set it like that. Then you can also set time interval preferences and so on.

But don't be too worried about it, just search a bit before creating a thread.

I don't think it is pointless. He is just pointing out how the price has increased, hoping that will keep following that trend upwards. I think all bitcoin holders hope it will be much higher for the next US election.

Don't go to the speculation section, then. It is full of comparisons like that one.

The problem with that is that kids learn to break those restrictions. Many of them start to watch porn before they are teens.

Even girls watch porn at a young age. When porn was only accessible when you had to go personally to a store to buy a magazine or a DVD, very few women watched porn. And the few that did were adults and they used to do it as a couple.


Today girls have access to porn in two clicks but I don't think that is making them adults before time, it's just that things are different.

This. Markets tend to behave crazy in the short-term. Trump getting COVID-19 or a hurricane, it doesn't matter. That's why I don't like trading. It pretends to predict what's unpredictable: human emotions reacting to news.

The smartest thing if you were an early seller is that you didn't sell all bitcoin. If someone did sell all, and became very rich, he doesn't need to buy bitcoin again but I bet some people did if they believe in the technology and what bitcoin represents. More because of ideology than because of the potential profits. However, I think this kind of person wouldn't have sold everything.

This. I've seen LFC_Bitcoin in the Wall Observer thead saying the same. He is pretty confident but I'm not so sure about that and even started a thread about it: Are we biased?

I would like that what LFC_Bitcoin says happened but that has been said for many years, and for the moment bitcoin price is somewhat linked to the US stock market performance.

Hi,

You need to write better. There are too many misspellings in that text. Many people won’t read it just because of that.

As for the content, I would also like that more people understood bitcoin and used it but I don’t agree with you calling them mediocre. Warren Buffet doesn’t like bitcoin, is he mediocre? I think it’s the other way around. Some people are very intelligent and don't buy bitcoin

Hi mate, you don't know much about finance, do you?

Investing doesn't have any conflict with rules 1,2 and 3. If you save and don't invest, you lose money due to inflation. There are many low-risk ways to invest to beat inflation.

Finally, you are in a bitcoin forum and say that investing is not savy? Even if you don't buy bitcoin and you only get it through you signature campaign, you are investing your time to get it. To get a risky asset.

I'll give my own ones:

1) Avoid debt at all costs. If you are already in debt get out as fast as possible.

2) Live on less than you make.

3) Have an emergency fund.

4) Invest, invest, invest. The simplest way is and index fund.

This is the easiest way to get rich. There are others, but this is the less risky and easiest one.

Doesn't coinbase have reasonable fees for you? I am sure you can buy from Scandinavia. I wouln't go for a cheap one that no one knows. Better exchange with a good reputation that aren't going to disappear overnight.

I think that, in theory, it is very good, the problem is that when it comes to putting it into practice there would be too many people who are evil or who would like to take advantage of the fact that there is no government.

I am not in favor of communism either, but I think that in theory it is very good. In an ideal world it would work, but not in this one.

I think anarchism could work in this world but in small populations, though, as long as people there were honest and good people.

I was thinking that precisely. I haven't seen anything about the giveaway ceasing in the OP and I also think it should have been locked, unless Lightlord doesn't mind people bumping the thread for free.

I've seen he posts here from time to time. Let's hope he clarifies the question.

Some time ago I saw that there was a giveaway on this thread.

I bumped it some times to only recently realize that no giveaway had been deposited in my 777coin account.

I asked about that and was told that the giveaway had ended some time ago.

Then I thought, what are those guys doing? They bump the thread every day. They must have realized that no money is deposited into their account.

I've looked at their post history and I've seen this:

User joshing. His post history consists in 41 pages repeating the same message: "777coin username: joshing
Thank you"

User levik. The same: 54 pages just bumping that thread.

Then there are others who wrote some posts in the beginning but for the past like three years they have been just bumping that thread.

For example: ronaldo8971 and planetroving.

I think they must be bots, otherwise I don't understand. I suppose that should be reported. Is it OK just with this thread or should I also report them?

I see that you have taken your time to do that analysis, but I do not accept the premise that the bitcoin price depends on the price of gold. You say so yourself:


Apparent relationships can be established between almost anything. Yes, sometimes gold price is similar to bitcoin price,  and they have similar features but I don't think we are going to go farther than: "sometimes the price behaves similar and sometimes not".

I don't see much sense in what you say. First of all, cryptos give you passive income if they go up in price and you sell.

Passive income often refers to the dividends you receive from a stock or the rental income you receive from your tenants. In a way, you can say that bitcoin (or stocks that don't pay dividens) give you passive income if they give you capital gains.

And then you say in the second paragraph that stocks weren't supportive to make passive income due to the Coronavirus crisis because they crashed but cryptos crashed as well. So, unless you explain yourself better, what you say no makes sense to me.

I'm going to ask on this thread because I asked in the promo one and received no reply:


I wasn't too worried about this and wasn't even bumping the thread every day but recently I realized that no giveaway had been deposited.

Can anyone help?

I think the issue here is that mass adoption is not going to go hand in hand with anonymity. If crypto is to be mass adopted, most users are going to be identified by governments. There always be some people using decentralised exchanges and escaping from Governments' control but just the same way as most cash transactions are declared and there are a percentage of them that escape from Governments' hands.
