I think we should start discussing how we can identify and do something about such manipulative scenarios.
I don't know how it is a crime when an investor sells off at ATH or buys in at a ridiculously cheap price during a dip. Isn't the ability to understand and feel the beat of the market in order to know when to take profit a business dexterity? Why do we (losers) always think it is manipulation? Why? 3. Normal investors must say no to FOMO and only invest what they are willing to lose. That way, you don't lock your capital at ATH.
I don't think there is such a thing as "Normal Investors". We can safely say we have investors who are adverse to risk and those who are gross risk takers. |

Being showered with Merit doesn't address the scenery the OP painted. No one needs merit to get attention (except in signature campaigns). What the OP’s imaginary friend needs is a "Trust Endorsement" to draw attention to a course and gain support.
However, bestowing either Merit or Trust arbitrary is Wrong.

Proof of Funds for the next 2 weeks: 0.5 BTC
1Fmr1HXVF4ERvC4tg6b2a2GNHEFXMqKt7H
Why don't you just post a signed message with the address you mentioned to proved that you own the address not just posting any random address that contains a 0.5 btc on it. Or you should contact an escrow for the reasons like what posted above. Even signing that address to show his ownership of it does not still guarantee payment. He should get an escrow. He is a noob and that is a dangerous sign running a signature campaign. |

It is terrible for me. What are you doing? PS: I am dying  There is a slot at my graveyard.  You don't deserve to be on the battlefield where the bears and bulls are. You are a Full Member yet you don't know how to hodl ( a gun...) We have seen this scene repeat itself every year. Yet each time it happens, weak hands shit in their panties. The market will rebound and then also dip like it is now in 2019. |

Mostly bankers and governments are bitcoin haters.Already they have realised that bitcoin could not be completely banned.
Yes, bankers and politicians (governments) don't want this new order - the blockchain technology. The government owns the banks and believes the blockchain tech will take away its stronghold on the people's finances as blockchain tends to eliminate the third party in transaction process. Technically those bankers will hate bitcoin until the price of bitcoin will back to normal again, just like what happened last December of 2017.
What happened in December 2017 was abnormal. That increase was occasioned by unnecessary FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) as there was a maddening rush for bitcoin and that defiled practical economics. There was no sustenance and technical support for such an astronomical and outrageous increase. And that is the correction we are witnessing now. |

Hi Guys im just wondering.
Is there a connection? with the rise and decrease of bitcoin in our foreign exchange?
Of course, there is a correlation between them, OP. The price and value of Bitcoin is first measured against the dollars and later against the hodler's own fiat (in conversion). So, I think that majorly the strength or weakness of the dollar determines the increase or decrease of bitcoin in quantity one can get at purchase. It's the same thing that happens at every exchange, whether foreign or local. |

Are there no adherence to rules here anymore? This post should be made at the altcoin bounty thread. Here is for campaigns that pay in bitcoin.

im scared,because like me this is the way that i participate in bounty campaign,how can i participate those bounties if theres no twitter and facebook update for cryptos..
Then you should stick around much at bitcointalk. There are enough updates here on bounties and memebers of this forum don't lose much going by that action. By the way, the ban is a good thing that should checkmate ICOs so as to curb the numerous scams that icos have become. It's true there will be a ban but it has not been announced yet, and I do not think it will happen and just as news to lower the bitcoin price for them to buy at a cheap price.
I am not a fan of Twitter but I can speak of Facebook and I can authoritatively tell you all that the ban is already on. |

China is such a big market, and for sure we need their investments in the crpyto world.
The crypto world is better off without China. Yes! China is just a hyped monster. Before now we would have thought otherwise that China's exit would collapse cryptocurrency. But we know better with China's ban on ICOs and cryptos and how the market faired until the recent dip which is of course not in any way connected to China. for mass adoption of cypto coins, we need Chinese people
I had to cancel that statement because it is one hell of a big fat lie. Where is China and its currency in Forex Trading that has a market cap in trillions? No where. It isn't even among the major currency pairs. Same should happen in cryptocurrency. The world should move on without China. |

what would you do if you had so much debt and that your income was not enough to repay your debt installment?
how will you deal with it?
how to solve it?
This sounds like another crypto debtor  I hope it wasn't borrowed in the wake of the bitcoin ATH in December 2017 because that would really be hard to repay considering how much that was borrowed and the present btc price now. I have not faced such kind of trouble but i belive that you should to be serious and change your life style and hold the money together, get a second job or something similar.
What a sound advice from an experienced advisor.
OP, there is something called repayment plan. You have to embark on such no matter how little you think you earn. Gradually and over time you would be able to offset your debt. Taking on extra jobs as others have advised may not be a way to good if you don't feel like it or if you are restricted health wise. |

Not sure what rank comes after Legendary...
Seriously? You don't know? It's nullius of course.
Honestly, and joking apart, I would love for Theymos to twerk the system a bit to accommodate some of those seemingly joke items that many have highlighted would better the forums. |

It's okay that the bears are tearing up the market and everyone (including noobs) is noting it and getting afraid that crypto collapse is imminent. This sign is good. Now, we got to believe that cryptocurrency isn't a sham. It is subject to the forces of the market economics so that when the bulls eventually come to play noobs won't start screaming "bubble bubble" again.

Hi guys! So, yeah, as you must know already, all crypto has a finite supply
False statement. There are cryptos that haven't got a finite total supply. Examples of such coins are ethereum, Waves. You can check the coinmarketcap for that info. what actually happens when bitcoin hits 21 million max besides it not being mineable anymore? Does this increase the value quicker?
Truth is that the 21million supply can never be achieved. Already, there are some bitcoin lost and can't he retrieved as a result of lost of PKeys, death, malwares etc. But once the peak (no matter what number is reached) in supply is achieved, investors will begin looking for other crypto options. I really don't see getting to the highest supply being a problem for anyone. |

Aside from bitcoin what do you think is one of the best alternative investments in the economy today?
That should be Forex Trading. I think anyone who is into cryptocurrency trading should also embrace FX as both align. Besides that, getting involved in MLM (Multi Level Marketing) won't be a bad idea even though I acknowledge thst MLM is a more tasking job that the first two. |

It is unfolding. The Gloom and doom is feeding on itself. Even threads in this Forum have hardcore BTC Fans doubting BTC.
I hope some good news can break this cycle but I cant see it happening to the end of the year when BTC will most probably be at a low price.
BTC is facing it hardest test!
I always suppress a giggle whenever I see such panic posts as this. This same set of noobs also cried to high heaven last year when Bitcoin price became astronomical, calling it a bubble. Now that there is a dip and correction, they are whining and crying like whipping babies. Those who have been in this forum know too well that this is another passing phase in the crypto calendar. Bitcoin isn't going to die in this dip "illness" It's a Phoenix. |

When you have got other sources of income then you can trade for emotional satisfaction.
I am not sure anyone does that even when they have other sources of income. Not even George Soros. Trading is all about the Benjamins. I trade for money except on a few occasions when I would want to experiment after I had met a certain target. Other than that, money is always the motif that we take risk in business. |

I do not understand much about this new arrangement. Who can tell me if I want to become a member, I have to achieve something on .merit, politeness, fmerit, imagination, virtue, coins, karma. How do you get new rankings?
It's quite simple actually. Every post that you make on a Thursday is run through an algorithm, which may assign you some 'imagination'. Any imagination you gain is then checked against all posts that you made in the preceding 6 days. If there is a high degree of uniqueness - i.e., you are not repeating the same posts, then this gives you some 'virtue' points. 'Politeness' is granted for every post, but then reduced if you have used swear words, bold font or CAPS. Use of exclamation marks is kind of a grey area. 'Fmerit' is short for 'f***ing merit' - you gain or lose points here depending on whether or not you make posts complaining about the merit system. 'Coins' is a complex calculation based on the total coins you hold in all of your crypto wallets, and when you bought them. Yes, even those coins that are supposed to be anonymous. 'Karma' scans your soul and awards points based on your thoughts and behaviour. I'm kind of confused about how they get the scores for this. It might depend on whether or not you have a webcam. It is a bit unfortunate that this new system came out on April 1st, as some people might mistakenly consider it a joke. Then what happens to "Imagination"? Theymos' explanation doesn't tally at all. I just saw a profile that hasn't made a single pictorial post with a 3 awarded it. This got to be a kind of joke. |

This is really good. Thank you once again, Theymos. Posters who can't make a post without involving the curse and F words now have some restrictions. Politeness takes care of that. By the way, is there going to be a bot to search out the "Sir" words which expectedly will become ubiquitous now?
Observation
On "Imagination", I think Theymos will have to device means posters can easily upload pictures directly without going through another app like imgur. That's cumbersome. Many a poster like me always have that as a barrier.
On "Coins", how did you arrive at that because I can't remember buying any here.
And then, you have successfully opened another floodgate of threads that will follow after the merit system. It's a new business of making posts count.
Question, does it mean ranking up now doesn't solely depend on the merit system?
