If you can meet the right community selling crypto merchandise will be very profitable. If you want to start selling offline, you need to now whether your country/city have local crypto community, if you can't find any, then you should make the community. It will not be easy to build it, but since you are the one starting the community, it will be easier for you sell the merchandise (assuming you succeed in building the community). Selling a 'fan merchandise' is all about networking, without good networking skill it will be very hard. Especially a new thing like crypto.
702  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN: Give people time! on: August 12, 2023, 01:26:01 PM
1. Give people time; they will show interest when the time is right for them.

It is true that people will need sometimes to finally willing to invest their time and money on Bitcoin, but then again I think Bitcoin is not for everyone so even if some people or my family never willing to invest on Bitcoin, I wouldn't worry about that.

2. The amount of energy and time you expend preaching to someone about bitcoin is not a warranty that he will accept what you're offering.

Similar to the first point, not everyone care about investment in general, moreover a new kind of investment like Bitcoin. Some people may also don't have spare money to be spent on investment.

3. We should always tell people to go do their own research about bitcoin after giving them some preaching about it.

I totally agree with this one, I knew some people who would tell me to invest in many thing, crypto, stock, .etc. They keep forcing me to put my money on those investment, and ask me to trust them, and I think those kind of people is really annoying. I don't want to be those people.

PayPal takes too long to adapt with the financial market, they finally join the crypto world when the market is already too crowded. Paypal should have taken action when USDT went mainstream, the only thing paypal could compete is on Stablecoin and today the there are a lot of stablecoin. I doubt people will move from USDT to PYUSD.
704  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin is centralized, will it still have value ? on: August 12, 2023, 12:24:22 PM
If BTC was centralized but everything else like the Blockchain, launching date, etc is the same. I think it will still have value, look at how many centralized crypto in the market right now, and they still have value. But the value will much more different than now, the community wouldn't be as strong, and the price wouldn't be as high as of now. Though it will still be the father of cryptocurrency since you never mention to delay the launch.
705  Local / Topik Lainnya / Re: Adakah kemungkinan untuk bisa memperbaiki Neutral Trust ? on: August 11, 2023, 02:41:19 PM
Sejauh yang saya tau Trust Feedback ya hanya bisa dihapus oleh orang yang memberikannya. Sebenarnya kalau agan di forum ini tidak menawarkan jasa atau barang, atau hanya ingin sekedar berdiskusi Neutral atau bahkan Red Trust tidak berpengaruh, karena agan masih bisa membuat post dan reply. Pun dengan Neutral Trust, agan masih bisa bertransaksi maupun bergabung dengan campaign, hanya saja campaign manager mungkin akan lebih detil mengecek postingan terbaru agan karena Neutral trust agan berkaitan dengan penggunaan AI dalam membuat post.

Saran saya, karena agan memang mengakui menggunakan AI maka tidak ada yang bisa gan lakukan, lanjutkan saja berdiskusi, kalau memang mau mengikuti campaign atau berjualan jasa/barang di forum ini juga dicoba saja, karena masih ada kemungkinan untuk dipercaya kalau Neutral Trust.

BTW, saya juga memiliki Neutral Trust, dan sampai sekarang masih sering betransaksi dan masih bisa ikut Signature Campaign

Hello Bitcointalk community

i saw many people ( even i am one of them)  Grin Since getting merits a lil bit hard here people rushing to posts like me newbie maybe post some posts without looking at the " Newbies - Read before posting"

Or high ranks members respond the same answers but in a different ways.

so I was suggesting that at first to get merits by posting numbers...like 20+ posts getting 1 merit, 50+ 2 merits ..and so on.

im not sure how it was before but now its not that easy to get at least 1 merit to begin.


* i made this topic since I'm looking for a beginning in this forum i had only 24 posts but yet they are useful for others (I'm not the one to judge) but didn't get any yet .

so i guess the admins should do a PLAN for newbies members to get to be at least MEMBERS


Maybe some will attack me here from nothing is easy to get ..but im fighting to be visible to others !! newbie rank will not get me anywhere atm.

So please no negative comments !! after all we are here to learn
 

Seems like this thread should be on Metal because OP talks about forum system, but other member will be butchering OP if this thread was on Meta. lol.

So, what you are proposing was the old system, before the Merit system we can just rank up by making 'Activity', if you don't know what actually is 'Activity' you can read this post, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2766177.0
With that system, Merit is redundant since it has no purposes.
707  Economy / Economics / Re: It ain't meant to be easy on: August 11, 2023, 01:55:39 PM
I am kinda believer of the Murphy's Law, 'Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, at the worst possible time' even tho it's not always happened, but when it happened at least I am ready. I never expect life to be easy, so it is not easy it will be expected and I know what to do, and when it's surprisingly become easy I am not become unguarded.

Hope for the best, but expect the worst.
708  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin best option to invest on: August 10, 2023, 02:19:48 PM
Correct me if I am wrong but seems like the title of this thread and the main post is barely correlated. The title ask whether Bitcoin is the best investment, but then the final phrase was bitcoin investment should be use to fund other business. There is a huge different between investing and building a business, if you want compare whether Bitcoin is better investment you should compare it to other form of investment like Gold or Real Estate. But then if you want to compare Bitcoin Investment to creating a business (which one is more profitable) then it really depends on the person, it won't be depend on the Investment Instruments anymore and the comparison won't even make any sense.
709  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC will hit new high, as crypto bull billionaire predict on: August 10, 2023, 01:32:28 PM
Do people still believe in this kind of 'billionaire prediction', I don't think so, they always say the prediction vaguely. 'Bitcoin will hit new high' nothing on the date, not even the year. They not even say the highest price they think Bitcoin could go before another sideways or bearish. Bitcoin will definitely hit new high, everyone could predict that, but it could be this year, next year or next 10 years, the time is the thing that need to be predicted. 
710  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: can Bitcoin provide food for our table on: August 10, 2023, 01:22:34 PM
Depends on what you mean by 'Bitcoin Provide food on our table', if you think just by buying bitcoint then you will get money/profit instantly then you are wrong, its not how it works. Just like other investment you need analyze the market, and learn more of that you will need a big money to actually get profit if you only want to invest in bitcoin.

But there are other things, Bitcoin can help you get a new opportunity, Bitcoin and blockchain is emerging industry, if you have some skills and knowledge on blockchain and bitcoin there will be a lot of new opportunity and less competition in this industry to make your career grow and thrive, I proof that myself.
711  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Your future in bitcointalk forum depends on your effort on: August 10, 2023, 12:58:02 PM
Buddy, bitcointalk is a simple discussion forum where people talk about bitcoin and other crypto related stuff and you presented it like it's some sort of a job.

Just chill and don't take things too seriously.

I know right, and OP is not the only one, some new account are putting all their effort to look good and wise in this forum, like their live is depend on how their bitcointalk account grow in this forum.

All this new comers need to realize that this forum is not their career or strict education institution it's just an online forum. Sure there are some rules, there are rank and merit, but this forum won't change their life if they do nothing in their real life.
712  Economy / Economics / Re: China enters deflation as recovery flops and demand falling on: August 10, 2023, 12:51:27 PM
A mass layoff has been done by Chinese companies that have branch office in my country since May this year, most the workers are software developer and customer service who are working remotely, since the salary in here is relatively lower than in China. I guess if a country as big as China are having deflation it will affect other country too.
713  Local / Ekonomi, Politik, dan Budaya / Re: Apakah Vonis MA terhadap Sambo cs tepat? on: August 09, 2023, 01:59:21 PM
Secara hukum memang tidak salah, sesuai prosedur, tapi melihat kebelakang bagaimana penjahat kelas teri saja masih bisa mengatur kejahatan terorganisir dari balik penjara, seharusnya hakim Mahkamah Agung juga mempertimbangkan hal tersebut. Terlebih Sambo sudah punya catatan sebelumnya kalau dirinya terlibat dengan pengaturan judi online. Apalagi putusan MA itu bersifat akhir, mengikat, dan berkekuatan hukum tetap. Sudah tidak ada upaya apa-apa lagi yang bisa dilakukan siapapun.

714  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is all what they say about bitcoin true? on: August 09, 2023, 01:49:57 PM
I don't know where you read that, because I rarely found that phrase in posts on this forum. But in my opinion that somewhat true, just like all investment Bitcoin is not a zero-sum game, one person get profit from other people loss. I know people who get rich and build their business from the money they get by mine and/or invest in Bitcoin, on the other hand I also know people who lost almost 90% of their saving.
715  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Physical bitcoin on: August 09, 2023, 01:43:32 PM
Physical bitcoin is just a collectible or merchandise, and most of those items has little to no value. However your items might have a private key to a wallet that contains some actual bitcoin, if you get that as a gift, then you may ask the person who gave that to you whether your physical bitcoin has wallet on it, if you get that from someone selling those items and he claim that it worth something, then it's a bad news, you have been scammed.
716  Economy / Economics / Re: Big companies will never let you have the financial freedom on: August 09, 2023, 01:23:05 PM
Government will always needs everything to be under control. But in my opinion it's understandable at some extent, not all of the citizen under the government have understanding and knowledge in financial and technology, and those people need to be protected by the government, and the easiest way to protect is to make everything under their control.

And about big companies its much more simple, they need to make profit, if they can control their product, they wont make any profit. The only option if people want the currency that is not under control is to use a pure decentralized.
717  Economy / Economics / Re: No choice but to use the unavoidable middle man, the exchange companies. on: August 09, 2023, 01:15:37 PM
I think you get it wrong, if a customer want to transfer bitcoin or any crypto to the service provider they don't need a middle-man they can directly transfer it from personal wallet to other personal wallet. The thing that needs an exchange is when the service provider need to cash out their exchange onto a fiat money.
718  Economy / Economics / Re: New Research found Work from home workers to be less productive on: August 08, 2023, 01:37:39 PM
On the article OP mentioned here there are actually two studies referred.

The first studies conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research , this is the direct quotation of one paragraph of their conclusion.
Quote
We first find a large positive and significant treatment effect of 18% from working in the office. Two-thirds of the effect exists from the first day of working and the rest is due to quicker learning by office workers over the subsequent weeks. Second, we find negative selection effects for office based workers. Those who prefer home-based work are 12% faster and more accurate at baseline. Finally, we also find negative selection on treatment: workers who prefer home have larger negative productivity effects when allocated to home. The negative selection effects are stronger within subgroups that typically face bigger constraints in selecting office work, such as workers with children and with other home care responsibilities, as well as poorer households.

So based on those paragraph the research actually shows that people who are working from home are 12% faster and more accurate on their work. There is a negative effect but it's largely found on the people who got distraction at home like children or other household.
 

The second one is by PEW Research Center they focused on Teleworker, it said that actually 56% of the respondent claiming that working from home helping them getting the job done and/or meeting the deadlines



So in general working from home has more positive effect, except if you are juggling between your work and household, but I guess even if you are working in your office but you juggling between work and home it will still have negative impact on the productivity.

719  Economy / Economics / Re: The Interplay of Consumption and Production on: August 08, 2023, 12:53:36 PM
In the intricate web of economic dynamics, the relationship between consumption and production is a fundamental axis upon which our societies pivot. This connection is not merely transactional; it holds the potential to foster a synergy that can yield two significant outcomes: justice and profit. The delicate balance between these elements underscores the essence of sustainable economic growth and societal advancement.

Consumption, the engine that drives demand, sets the wheels of production into motion. The choices made by consumers have a direct impact on the types and quantities of goods and services that are manufactured. This link forms the backbone of supply and demand economics, determining what products are allocated resources and how resources are allocated to them. In this paradigm, consumers wield remarkable influence over market trends, innovations, and even social and environmental considerations.

I kinda understand what are you trying to say here (vaguely), but I think all your statement is just common sense. And then looking at your Poll it's getting weirder, the question ask how consumption and production can be balanced, but then you only provide yes/no answer. It make me confuse whether you are asking 'Can Consumption and Production be balanced?' or 'How make consumption and production become balance', while you don't ask any question on your main post.

I don't think consumption and production can be balanced, except if there is a monopoly on a the product, and it will still be hard. The competition in the market make each producer innovate with the product, some producer will get overloaded demand, and the other will be lack of demand, thus making the production overload.
720  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the market still profitable for new projects? on: August 08, 2023, 12:44:54 PM
There are still a lot of new project coming up meaning that they still think it's profitable, I believe they have done calculation before starting project. But it depends on the project, if the projects is not offering anything new then I doubt many people will be interested. But if I was a Founder or CEO of a crypto project looking at the market condition, I would prefer to polish up my project and waiting for the market to at least recover before launching a new project.
