Sorry Ferrytale1 I don't think you saw any post won't meriting. I feel you wrote this topic just to get attention. Remember the saying, "it take one to know one". Funny to say but you're not that one became you're not actually a writer of posts which are beneficial to the forum (worth meriting).

Examples:

Clean up yourself and improve on your post quality then you might get merited before you even think about meriting others.

And if you feel the posts you saw are worth meriting post a link Here and they will be looked into and get merited if they deserve any.

I foresee a bull ran coming soon and this will stabilize the market price between $10k-$15k. Many didn't see this fall in price of Bitcoin coming because they were mostly newbies and followed false speculations from so called experts. For those that have stayed at least 2-5years in Bitcoin they knew after a big move in price, a major correction occurs then followed by another bull ran.
In conclusion, the 10th anniversary of Bitcoin holds sometimes unique only the future can tell. {Maybe ETF approval  who knows🤗.

Its was fun reading though your replies. What amused me was the fact that many users are afraid of the government banning cryptocurrency for good. Well to prevent thread from been turned into a spammy thread, I have to lock topic now. You can check out some other topics I stated for more amazing discussion.

If only we had the thumbs up (like) button . oh yes both will always be used as a point of comparison because they're actually the real deal. Just as every modern day footballer is been compared with messi and cr7 that's how it's going to be in the cryptoworld. BTC and ETH Will always be the best and first that other altcoins will look up to and be compared to.

 Happy Birthday to Bitcoin 03/01/2019

As we all know, Bitcoin was created in 2009 by satoshi nakamoto. Ever since, bitcoin has developed itself into a global topic. Along its journey to success just like other currencies/investments, bitcoin has experience its up and down reaching a ATH of almost $20k making it one of the best ROI of all time. So far we can say the journey has been successful but we all know we're not there yet.

                        


As an investor/believer of bitcoin, what are the features you will love to see in bitcoin as we celebrate the 10 years anniversary, what positive news will you love to hear concerning bitcoin come 2019?.

Looking at the date of post, and date transaction was made, I will say it was a smart moved because bitcoin was at its ATH November-december. If he truly sold those bitcoins, currently the money gotten can be used to buy 2-3x money bitcoin than what he sold at that point in time.
That's why I always advice investors to take profit when they see hypes on their investment vehicle then wait for the market to calm down before reinvesting.

Just as gold was, bitcoin too is both an investment and a currency (but a better version of currency called Cryptocurrency).
An assets is what gives you value (in business terms, bring in money). What ever that can be used as a store of value can be describe as an asset, so bitcoin is an asset which means it's an investment. Also what ever that can be used as money in any form when in actual use or circulation as a medium of exchange is called a currency so bitcoin can both be describe as both an asset (investment) and currency but in digital form

Getting emotionally attached to money or an investment is a wrong move and shouldn't be encourage with the whole "Holding scheme". As investors,  we're to see every investment we participate in as a vehicle, leading us to our final destination (financial freedom).  Every investor should have a plan (strategy) and when you hit (reach) that target follow your plan (if it involves cashing out do that). Don't get emotional attached.
Just an advice: if you notice you're getting emotionally attached to an investment whether it be Crypto, stock or whatever, it is safer to cash out immediately to take some break or just move on to something else you're not emotionally attached to.

ETH don't need to respond for it to be real, eth is a decentralized blockchain technology that can be used by either individual or government body anytime anyplace. If
it was not real the Australia government would have responded few hours or days after the publication was made but they didn't, that can only mean the information is accurate.

Read a news online via cointelegrah stating; "Austria’s government is set to use the Ethereum (ETH) public blockchain to issue €1.15 billion ($1.35 billion) of government bonds in an auction next week". This topic caption is as a respond to the numerous topic caption I saw on this board saying ethereum blockchain is dead and will be replaced by EOS and the rest . And also I hope on restoring some hope to the long term hodlers.

Examples of those posts, just to quote a few.

Just to make it clear to you all, the ethereum blockchain is here to stay and will dominate the DAPP for a very long time. (if not forever). Just as Bitcoin is the king, Ethereum is the queen (gives birth to altcoins) and it's the first wife, others are just "other wives". The government believes in its technology that's why, Oesterreichische Kontrollbank (OeKB) — one of Austria’s biggest banks with $26 billion in assets in 2017 — will reportedly operate the live blockchain notarization service. During the auction, scheduled for October 2, the bank will issue the bonds on behalf of the Austrian Treasury (OeBFA) and it will be done using the ethereum blockchain technology.

Don't regret investing in ETH, the hype of those Dapp will die off surely, just as it happened to Neo others will follow. Lets not give up hope on eth, the team are developing the technology day in day out that's why we have different ERC tokens. with time ethereum blockchain will become perfect don't give up on it.

Technically. Yes. When a blockchain project uses another blockchain to host it's project the native cryptocurrency is usually called a token. But as we know, many project uses the ethereum platform to kick start their project and in future swap to mainnet example EOS. So I have the feeling that might be their plan and if I am wrong then I guess this will be the very first stabletoken I know of.

Don't have much idea on this, but i feel if it's a testnet coin, it shouldn't cause much of a panicking since it won't be much of a threat to the mainnet. Testnet coins can only be used on the testnet for testing and can't be tradable for altcoins or usd.  Like I said don't have much idea but I stand to be corrected if my assumption are incorrect.

Well we all have our opinions, I don't know about bitbay but will do my research on it. I have been following USDC from development stages still date, that's why I have more faith in them than USDT. Never knew of USDT until I saw it on exchanges.
The rate at which new stablecoins are created needs to be put to check, I mean if we just had 5-10 stablecoins build with real world use applications, it would be beneficial to the cryptosystem.

  well I think it have serve it's purpose. I'm glad too I posted here. The spam level in this forum discourages some of us to visit some board too.

What section should I have posted on?

Just read through the whole replies, I guess you must be satisfied by the responds you have gotten from forum users and also since post was done in 2017 you are no longer a newbie (although your rank says so) and must have known how to trade/buy altcoin. Kindly lock topic to prevent spammers from using this thread to earn post count for their bounty participation.

The highly expected stablecoin USDC was just added to an exchange (announcement made on their official Twitter account).


Trading pair(s) for USDC/ETH added to Kucoin and many more exchange coming soon such as, centralized; DigiFinex, CoinEx, Poloniex, KuCoin, OKCoin, Coinplug, XDAEX etc. and Decentralized; IDEX, Paradex, Radar Relay, Tokenlon etc.
Also with the likes of @MoneyToken ( A platform for Smart Loans, backed by Crypto-Assets launch at Q1 2018), showing support for the stablecoin USDC, tweeting earlier "Get ready to take out loans in USDC against your crypto assets in the next platform's update".

What do you think about the addition of this new stablecoin to the Cryptomarket  and do you think USDC has the potential to overtake USDT any sooner as no1 stablecoin in the cryptosphere?.

Funny how people act holy when they're truly the opposite. Where will you get the Smerit to merit the poster? You only have one merit that means you only have 0.5 sMerit not upto a spendable Smerit so is either you have double accounts (which against the forum rules) or just writing to increase your post count (also against the forum rule).
You can't give what you don't have.

MetaMask is a bridge that allows you to visit the distributed web of tomorrow in your browser today. It allows you to run Ethereum dApps right in your browser without running a full Ethereum node.
Metamask now supports both Ledger and Trezor. This allows any dapp that works with MetaMask to be used safely and securely with a hardware wallet. Trezor blog post Stated; "By adding hardware wallet support, we are allowing every single ÐApp that works with MetaMask to be used securely with a Hardware Wallet. We hope that this kind of feature will increase the confidence and security in the entire Ethereum ÐApp ecosystem".

With all this said, what do you think about this feature and will you feel comfortable using it?.

I have been following them for some while now, they're really showing some positive signs toward achieving their goal. Just as they tweeted "Bakkt uses the existing, time-tested, regulated futures market infrastructure to introduce physically delivered Bitcoin and warehousing to global markets. All aspects of the existing futures market will, for the first time, be part of physical delivery and warehousing of Bitcoin". I see a future in them.
