Articles and YouTube videos are quite frequently advertised here, and surprisingly, your video seems to be really decent. Love the enthusiasm and excitement in your voice concerning Square's and MicroStrategy's bitcoin purchase.

You really might want to consider being consistent in uploading videos if you want your channel to gain traction though.

It seems like you're getting "berated" simply because you're preaching about "working hard" and how to "survive the external world" in your previous thread even though you yourself couldn't earn a single merit. Pretty much almost like those "how to earn merit" topics by people who has only 0-5 merits.

mood:

Nothing. The hearts is just the sort of health bar of the Minecraft character you're seeing.

Anyway, really really impractical way of looking at the mempool obviously, but it's really really cool nonetheless.

Good. In the current world situation, ad creatives-related jobs are so in demand due to people gearing towards online shopping.

1. Create accounts on UpWork, etc, to potentially increase the chances of you getting hired.
2. Cold email businesses and propose ad services to them(DO NOT spam).
3. Don't give up. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Good luck.

You probably at least want to state your reasoning on why you think bitcoin will drop that low if you want this thread to have a constructive discussion.

Calm your ass and get yourself together. Everyone has down moments in their life. The success of a person just depends on how he/she gets outside the shithole and continue fighting.

If you're going to stoop that low, you're just setting yourself a lot closer to being a total failure. And not only a total failure, but also a shitty person that's a waste of oxygen.

Why go the dark side when anyone can legitimately make money without harming others? Seriously, we really have it easy having access to the internet. I learned about freakin finance, economics, and investing(though I'm aware I'm not an expert) without a related degree; and I've known people who didn't even go to college but managed to learn programming online. Why can't you?

Funny thing is, this itself is mostly a bad argument against bitcoin mining. A lot of people take a look at bitcoin mining hashrate distribution charts and see F2Pool taking a huge part of the pie chart and just assume that F2Pool is just one miner from China; not even knowing that mining pools exist whereas miners worldwide can move in and out of.

Square is co-founded by Twitter's CEO, Jack Dorsey. Why did he make that investment? Well, take a quick look at Jack's Twitter profile and that'll quickly answer your question: https://twitter.com/jack

Try actually doing it, as it's a lot less harder than people actually thought. The memorizing and remembering part isn't the hard part though, the problem comes when something happens to you physically or mentally(like some sort of accident) that could cause the words to somewhat get wiped from your head. Totally not worth risking in my opinion.

Theoretically, if an entity would want to have economic or political influence over the network, they probably wouldn't even need mining power. They could at least attempt to do it through social media means, like a smear campaign or some sorts.

The real question is, if they could actually successfully do it or not.

1. Exchange recommendations will depend on what country you're in.
2. You can look for local sellers on your city/country through peer-to-peer sites like HodlHodl.com
3. You might want to increase your $5 amount, because withdrawal fees on any exchanges might cut that $5 in half.

Not something openly purchasable on the web as far as I know(because I've also tried finding one in the past, and as expected I couldn't find any); you're better off actually hiring a decent programmer for this. And I'm guessing that you'd actually need  a well optimized software to make it as quick as possible, because it's safe to assume that it's not only you that would have such a bot running.

Sure, but this is assuming that they could(and would) actually dump everything in one go. Because if they were smart, that's definitely not the best way to dump that huge of an amount.

Well yea I'd assume this is why Square only allocated a really really small amount(in contrast to their total mcap), so they wouldn't be forced to liquidate the bitcoin if the day comes that they'd need the extra cash. MicroStrategy on the other hand though, they definitely took a risky bet.

While a certain country "approving" bitcoin(I assume you meant announced as legal tender) is good, bitcoin doesn't need government approval to be successful. You would've known that if you did the slightest research.

And? He doesn't like investing in tech companies like Apple and Microsoft because he doesn't understand them. What's your point?

EDIT: Ahh, the classic no response when everyone's throwing counter-arguments at you.

Why would Satoshi disagree? The earlier adopters trusted the technology regardless when everyone didn't care about it, and they sure did make a lot of money due to the risk they took. It's not like they stole the coins or something lol.

You're doomed because you think you are. Guess what? The 2 most wealthiest people I personally know around my age(somewhere in the 20s), didn't even finish high-school, and are now really successful businessmen. Why? Because they were determined to get out of the poverty shithole despite their lack of education. Now, are you just going to keep making excuses? Or actually do something about it?

Pretty much. Using OP's argument, you could say the same with assets like Amazon stock, which a lot of people believe that will likely go up as time goes and as Amazon continues to grow. And regardless how bigger and bigger Amazon is growing, there's technically still a non-zero chance that Bezos will mess up the company one way or another; hence not really a "safe haven", just probably a good investment.

People call bitcoin a "safe haven" not because of the potential price appreciation, but mostly because bitcoin is like gold in a way that bitcoin's(and gold's) total supply cant be mass inflated at will by the central banks.

This. Though I'd say that using a 2FA app on your desktop is still miles better than not using 2FA at all because the 2FA authentication can still help you if a certain password database on a website you use gets leaked(please don't re-use passwords, use a password manager), I'd rather not have the 2FA on my desktop. I mean, there's a 99% chance that you personally own a smartphone anyway, so why not use a mobile 2FA instead?

Having an "excuse" or a valid reason in a way that they'll actually consider spending their time in changing your username. You're hugely overthinking what I said. "Excuse" doesn't automatically mean that you're hiding something or you did something wrong.

Also, if you want to change your username just because you want to without any reason whatsoever, then good luck because they're likely to not give you a chance.
