Not many exchanges try to do anything "extra". And I guess that it's rather disappointing to pay / work on blog entries to teach people and then see that almost nobody reads that (yes, they afford to pay somebody do that, but it's still disappointing).

The information about how Bitcoin works is there on the internet. One has to take some time, research and read. Most won't do that.
Imho it's more the users' blame than exchanges'.

Now indeed there are not enough vaccines. But I think that quite soon there will be enough. Not everybody wants vaccines. Also afaik vaccines have to be administrated some weeks before people get any chance to get ill so the body develops the immunity (and may even do bad to already sick people).
But as said, since governments are paying the big bucks for vaccines, the "gold" rush is on.

The actual good news is that also cures get developed. I don't know how expensive those will be but together with the vaccines they'll cover (sooner or later) what we actually need.
The bad news is that all this takes time. Too much time...

It's technically different to use Bitcoin than one would use fiat or card. Unlike cards your own Bitcoin is not insured and you have to be careful how you handle it. The block time and how transaction fees work (and the difference from exchanges' withdrawal fees!) also may be hard to understand at first.

But I also understand your point. The most praised wallets are quite complex for newcomers and especially if they are not used with computers and applications on the daily basis they may get scared or simply make mistakes. But sooner or later good and easy wallets will pop up. They have to. Just lately the developers were more oriented in adding LN for example.

Thank you!

Bineinteles, licitatia e facuta cu picioarele, ca la noi, dar totusi e o premiera, mai ales prin prisma faptului ca statul roman nu e atat de nestiutor in crypto cum poate ca ar crede unii.

The numbers they are reporting may or may not be according to the reality. They may have sold or they may have bought more than reported.
But they do have huge amount of Bitcoin and while it's a good news - it's indeed a proper investment in Bitcoin - it's also scary, since it gives them quite a lot of power in manipulating the price if they want to.



You obviously didn't follow the discussion. 4 posts before you was written that their fees are actually pretty high for what they are doing.

It's scammers who usually ask for made up, usually non-existing things in order to do this and that.
Until further information I'd assume it's a scam. Especially beware if he/they ask for more money (and don't send!)

Various blockchains also means advertising.
And I think that although it can be seen as an investment coin, GOLD team would like to get to (much) higher volumes traded (and bought).
The "$1-2.5 fees" were more like $3-4 for me in the last 2 months and I believe that not everybody buys or sells 10k$ gold at once to say indeed that fees are insignificant.
And while Ethereum is indeed big, I simply don't like it. Never did. And no, Ethereum is by far not not only secure altcoin.

All in all, recommending as you did sounds quite strong. I would not go that far. I believe it's 100% up to GOLD team to decide (or ignore!). There are plenty of details to think about and you or me may easily miss quite a big number of them.



You did understand my point, thank you for that.
Indeed, Ethereum has already a history of failed and postponed upgrades/releases.

The only reasons I see for remaining only on ETH these times would be expected long development time for getting onto another chain too and expectations that GOLD token will become much more interesting for Bitcoiners only when Bitcoin gets nearer to the next ATH (and GOLD will act as a safety net in the next "crypto winter") so there's still time for ETH to get in shape until then.

Indeed, sha, string, hex, bin... this is not a big deal for some and difficult stuff for others.
And even those who would know how to do it may not check if it's not automated. Your site fixes that 
I'll also complain, though, about the moving background....

I also have Ledger. I like the Nano S, it can quite easily mistake it for a normal USB stick. It was cheap and it does the job.
I use it with Electrum on PC and Mycelium on phone, I think that Ledger app is not useful for anything else than installing or updating apps or firmware.

Edit: It may worth adding that whichever you buy you should wait for Black Friday/Christmas offers.

Even more, if the check is done by the casino, some voices may tell that both (the website and the verifier) are rigged.
A 3rd party site for verifying is also imho the best approach.

I've just read that another stablecoin you see as competition "expanded" to also work on another new blockchain.
Of course, one cause is the big fees on Ethereum blockchain. I see it also as extra advertising.
Clearly, I don't know how difficult this is to be implemented, but now there are plenty of blockchains where tokens and smart contracts work.
I'd love to see GOLD also on WAVES chain for example.

I see it as a nice ad, not a perfect one (as @Darker45 said, at least a disclaimer there is necessary) and, like any ad, is not 100% true.
Gold is costly? Bitcoin is also not cheap (let's not talk about satoshis, let's talk about outsider's perception, OK?).
Properties are not affordable? It depends on how much money you have (and want to invest) and the country you are targeting. You may be surprised.
Of course, I like the ad. But again, it's just an ad.

This could be indeed a good course of action; either rename, either split into it's trading and forum behavior "components".

I think that it usually starts with convenience - they're in a place the target user is visiting anyway, like a coffee/booze "shop" down the street - and boredom.
The lack of knowledge / education plays also a big role; the "all slot machines are stealing you the same" is a common narrative so they don't know that the machine they playing at is unlicensed and possibly also rigged.
The addiction comes afterwards...

Trust rating is no longer only related to trading. I've put negative feedback on users trying out various scams, I've put negative feedback for impersonating, for automated translations... but far too few over time, I know.
But I think that this is DT about: highly active users that put negative feedback on wrong doers. Of course, the DT members have to be highly trusted, since negative feedback leads sooner or later to various sorts of questions and also retaliation.

USDT or TUSD may not be really the coins to buy gold (actual metal or gold-backed stable coins). Bitcoin is more widely accepted, especially if you go for the actual metal.
For gold you can look for Bullion Star and other sellers, it depends on what's your country.
For gold tokens you can check my signature. I am probably biased, but I can tell that the fact this token is actually backed can be surely checked at any time.

You've put this poll in September, which is usually not a great month for the price.
And the deadline is in a month. A lot of things can happen in a month and those voting then may have a completely different perspective.

I voted $16,001 - $18,000 and I hope it's not too low. And I'll tell you why.
Previously the "MtGox ATH" was around 1200$ I think (+/-100$). Then year 2017 started with some 1000-1100$ price.
Since I expect 2021 be somewhat similar to 2017... I guess it could start with a price preeeety close to the previous/current ATH.

This is the part I'd worry about much more than the shilling part and even more than the (quite big) possibility that BSV will become worthless before that lock time ends.

My guess would be that certain wallet was under maintenance. Such operation is not fast, since a sync is usually also needed.
From what I see there are (still?) quite a big number of wallets offline or out of sync (which may be the result of maintenance or not, I don't know since I don't really use Livecoin lately).
