Hi I was wondering if there was a way i could change my username and email on my profile or do I have to set up a whole new acct?

As far as I know, if the phone you use for 2FA is lost you can still gain access to your account with certain requirements to prove if the account is yours. Because on an exchange that uses 2FA as well as I know it is just that and for proof it is something very difficult.

So lets say I have a brand new account that has a name I like. Is it possible to change my name to that account? Alternatively, would it be easier for me to just request a name change?

Or do I need to be a Donator to change my name?

Hello,

I just joined Bitcointalks (hi everybody :DD), and, I encountered a (somewhat) serious issue: I wanted to participate to te DeepOnion AirDrop (basically, a sort of pre-mined coin distribution of the DeepOnion cryoptocoin). However, in order to be elligible, one needs an account created before the July 12th 2017, and...

Since I just created my account today, I'm kinda fucked over.

However I don't want to pass on that;
is there a way to modify my account to make it, like, one month older ?
Maybe I could get the account from an inactive dude ?
I know it sounds like a silly question, but, appart from the trust system (that is kinda a fraud) and the signature premiums, it seems like there's not much advantage to have an old account / versus new ones (appart from that DeepOnion giveaway, ahah)
So, if someone has a spare old account to give away, man, that'd be dope !

(Wubalubadubdub!)

Would you want this to happen in the real world :
- sir we think that smoking is bad, so we made the system not able to pay for sigarettes anymore.
- sir we think that drinking soda is bad for your healt so we forbade paying for it.
- sir, we saw that you payed for a prostitute, why did you go there ?

Do you think this is the way the world should like. I for one, not.

I don't think that those who support cashless society care whether its feasible or efficient. They esteem ideology over human concerns or standard of living.

Even in the united states many homeless or poor might be unable to buy or sell basic necessities like food if they were unable to afford a cell phone equipped with digital transaction/internet.

Many could starve or die if cashless society were adopted.

I recently paid for some local tacos using Bitcoin. My friend who was unfamilar with Bitcoin thought it was strange, like I technically didn't pay for them or something. We got into discussing Bitcoin and one of the questions he asked me was:
"Why would you want Bitcoins instead of cash?". For a second I didn't know what to say; then I thought about it and here is what I came up with. Feel free to contribute to this.

1) More security (especially if you are careful).

2) Bitcoins are a potential investment, cash is not. Paper currency only really goes down in value, Bitcoins have a lot of potential to be worth more as time goes on.

3) Fast, worldwide transactions at your fingertips.

4) Similar to #3, but it's a universal currency. It's legal in most countries of the world and you don't need any kind of currency conversion to send money to people in a different country than your own.

If you're only just getting started in bitcoin now then it's probably unlikely that you'll be able to buy loads of coins but you can always buy what you can afford to. The price is going up & up long term so it's defo possible possible to still get good profits.

You might have to buy a hold for a few years though.

I read in several Newspaper that experts think the Bitcoin is gonna crash soon. What do you think?

Do you only need to backup the 12 letter seed words and the private key, or both the public & private key?

What is a paper wallet compared to other forms of wallet?

To trade, you need to learn trading strategies, not sites. And it's better to trade where there is a lot of trading.

Demo accounts are usually good to practice but not all trading sites makes provision for that but there is this site you can use www.hitbtc.com has a platform for demo but you will have to and create an accout then login in other to gain access to the site as well as the trading platform.

Hello,
I am interested in learning to trade and would like to ask the board for suggestions on a good demo trading site.
My hope would be to identify a site were I could learn for a few months and then move into actual capital.

Any suggestions would be great.
Thank you.

Since your  question is about trading I think your thread is in the right place and this is were you can get right answer to your question. To increase your 0.5bitcoin to about 5 bitcoin you will need to invest in ico project especially the reliable one and before you invest in ico you should do a really and personal research before putting in your really cash or hard earned bitcoin. Some people that invest in neo and ripple sometimes ago has make over5* return for just a month of listed in some popular exchangers platforms.

I have come to realize in recent time that holding bitcoin in ones wallet is more profitable and a little bit risk free as compared to trading altcoin or what do you think ?
