Controlling emotions is a big part in trading but its not everything. Like for you as an example - you are a shitposter trying to rank up by posting BS in the forum. Dont expect to get any merit if you continue like this though.

One big thing in trading is the capital as well. If you come to the market with high hopes of buying some good altcoins with only 10$ in pocket, forget about it. A good capital to invest in would be anything in between 500 - 1000 $ for altcoins - for bitcoin its even higher.

Try to get a "feel" of how the market works and then put your money here. Remember crypto in unpredictable which is why its risky but again thats why its profitable.

Financial return and gambling are way away from each other if you talk about returns. Gambling has something called the house edge which will make any strategy that you try to apply null at one time. Hence there is no bust-proof strategy. Again in investing money although risks are involved if you know where to out money into - you will be able to make money.

True for every addiction. Let it not take over you and make you get sidetracked or on the wrong track. Suicide just because you are in debt is cowardice if you ask me.

These are not considered as valid collateral. For more information about what is considered as valid collateral check this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577765.msg6311902#msg6311902

I accpet altcoins 120% of the loan value as collateral - subject to probation from my side.

Otherwise you can lock this thread or wear some red paint from DefaultTrust.

Why do I get a feeling that you are trying to shill the OP for your own gain? Obviously you are a part of the shitposter mob who got nerfed by the merit system. If you dont want to improve you post quality and want to get money by shitposting and/or gain merits by being a crybaby then dont expect to be in this forum.

Another new day in bitcointalk, another newbie making a repeat thread about "Merit" in Meta.

See the merit abusers who you are thinking are getting into alt account farming is actually being done for the greater good. These account farmers will use their merits to rank their accounts - which can have two possibilites :

1. They will be caught and read tagged by DT. OR,
2. They will run out of merits sooner or later.

The first option will negate those account directly from trying to make any money from shitposting. The second one will actually put those accounts in a doldrums state - because they are inherently shitposters and wont be able to rank up their accounts further. They will remain stuck until then improve post quality and all.

Keep on investing? Not something a sane person would do especially when the market is red and everything is dropping. Investing, by nature should be done with that money that people are willing to lose - or willing to "waste" so to speak. One should not keep on buying more and more thinking its going to sky rocket after the dump. Price will rise but everyone has their own methods of making money from the dump.


And you need to stop shitposting. Your english makes zero sense to me. Recovering losses on trading does not happen miraculously. Wait for the market to rise.

See if a person has discipline then they would not go into gambling in the first place. They would try to work hard and get a proper job and leave the risky life as it is. Having a weak mind easily tainted by the gambling temptation is a sign that the person is negligent of his/her actions and thus the addiction follows.


It varies from person to person. Sometimes tapering off the habit works for some while simply stopping it once and for all works for some. The second one is rare though.

No proof? Then this is a lie.
Is quackduckling still trying to make himself look legitimate in front of others? Same old threads in bitcointalk.


It wont be removed and more will be added as more people see this thread. I myself have done the same. Sold accounts are not to be trusted. Simple and easy. But anyway shitposters and quackducklings would never understand the basics.

Good for those who were spreading the FUD. They actually bought in some new coins and stockup for times later on.

Lets see where it goes. I heard they got hacked and now this. Only makes people more suspicious of whats going to happen in future.

Could not do anything better if I was the owner.

They are controlled by other organisations obviously. Change your search engine if you want better results.

Dont buy into every news. Make you own decisions.

True that gambling btc will lead to loss of btc and those gamblers who become addicts will eventually waste money and buy loads of btc to waste in the vicious cycle. But this is just a mere small population of the entire crypto community. The majority of bitcoin spent is on ICOs and altcoin trading. Also you need to improve your English because your words dont make sense.


Hmm another shitposter. Stop making generic posts like this please.

As far as I have seen, all those platforms which have taken up that Lending/Staking method have turned into ponzis. They are in reality HYIP/MLM disguised under some cheap words and a made up whitepaper. They even get their own website and some even dare to put up pictures as a team which is obviously fake teams.

Bitconnect and before that Leocoin and all were all following this method and so are the others that pop up everyday. If you want some legit Lending platform look at SALT and EthLEND.

If you talk about discrimination then every casino will discrimiate people or lets say customers on the basis of who has the deeper pocket to spend. Also speaking on your terms a high class person will generally have a lot of money to spend and thus gradually gain attention from the admins of the online casnios - why? Because they are an asset to that casino being a regular player and thus may be able to procure rakeback if the admins want to.


Correct, always verify the provably fair algorithm before you spend money there.

Yeah and you need to stop shitposting if you want to get rank up at all. Your words make exactly zero sense to me.


There are shills who promote altcoins. I have seen brain dead shills posting shit across many social media and promoting totally scam shitcoins. They dont care that its a shitcoin or its a scam project. But often legitimate people fall for them especially the newbies who come to the crypto world.

Panic selling is common and people have their emotions too to keep control of. So its not their fault. However the good thing to do at the time of red market is to hold and see or set a stop loss and sell accordingly in a calculated fashion.

Merit sources patrol this forum at their own will. They have been notified by theymos (obviously) and they have imbibed the guidelines for merit distribution. There are currently 57 merit sources in the forum. Now what you need to do is to not shitpost and complain about the merit system and start making quality posts. Merit amount is limited to prevent you shitposters from ranking up and getting quick cash for shit-bounties.

In course of time these shitposters will become tired of shitposting and they will leave the forum. Something that will bring a radical change to this forum.

You people are still not able to understand which posts to send sMerits to. Yes its subjective but merits are not to be given to every post that a person agrees to. Merit is supposed to be given to posts that makes substantial contribution to the discussion - that may or may not agree to your comment. Yes majority of posts are done by generic shitposters but there are posts in between them done by quality posters.


Are you not a newbie here? You should focus in initiating good discussion in the threads and dont run after merits. That all I can say for now.

The first thing that people here would like to do is to provide a signed message from the address that you claim to have where you possess 1BTC in reserve.
The second thing is to get an escrow for this 1BTC because you are going to use that as collateral.

Then only people will take you as a legitimate borrower and not someone who is making up stuff to attract potential victims.

Well I am sure he is proud of his collection of physical bitcoins and kialara. Have you even seen the "collectibles" section and the number of successful trades that TMAN has done till date?

Also dont be a cry baby please. Having a good control over one language is something that makes you literate and this forum is filled with illiterate shitposters who come to spam and get some cash in return. Look at yourself in a mirror for example.

It was for you people that the merit system was created. I repeat the advice I gave to cry babies like you in many threads prior to this. If you dont like the merit system - LEAVE this forum.

But FUD always enters the market no matter what happens. People dont have  steel strong nerves to support them and they fall for every newbie theory that shills make up on the social media. Like I have previously said, the social media including faceache, twatter and instahater are filled with shitcoin promoting shills.

Well that FUD for sure but its pretty vague on what you said. People become resistant to these news after some exposure.

FUD is created by shills (mostly). Buying more and more is not always good specially for altcoins which are going stagnant. For bitcoin its always good.

Mods do not remove negative feedbacks. Only the person who has left negative feedback to you can remove it. Forum administration, moderation, and DefaultTrust are different from each other.

The big question is since you are such an old member of this forum (or was) how do you not know this already?

My guess would be that you are pretty bad at scamming and thus need to work on your scammer skills.  

Well it is definitely the king of crypto if you talk about about its competition to other crypto and the market metrics of bitcoin against other altcoins. The market being red its a good time to stock up and hold bitcoin. Because believe it or not the panic selling will stop soon and whales are going to pump the market and make the price reach 10k or more once again.


You dont technically invest in bitcoin, you trade it and the profit is made from trading. Although people seem to use the terms interchangeably while talking about bitcoin. Again huge profits are possible if you know where to put your money - but again the risk is there.
