If you're being practical, buy a gold for a good and trusted investment because that's a physical quantity. If there's a huge crisis in our country, lock down of internet, servers shutdown, and war, probably this gold might help me to bring me up again.

The problem is that physical gold might be a pretty bad investment. If you have a gold bar in your house then you should carefully watch over it because any tiny scratch will cause a significant price decrease while buying a "virtual" gold still can't guarantee 100% safety during a financial crisis. Also in case of any military conflict even physical gold won't really help you.

Is there any post limit per week?
Haven't seen any response about that from campaign manager.

there is no limit (0.1 BTC is the limit)
all the chat with the manager is done in the telegram group

Anyone got proof of payment of this campaign?
Manager, that responds only in telegram looks shady.

Tbh I don't see a serious need in the medical blockchain. Maybe only in the best world's hospitals.
I doubt that in poor countries people somehow care about the security of the medical data and everything still works fine without any extra audit etc.
From what I've heard the problem of cheap medical treatment is more about the qualification of doctors (and this is the most expensive aspect of expensive hospitals).
Blockchain won't help doctors to work better.

Countries like Greece who have no idea how economy works and have governments that have no intention of fixing the issues will make euro worth less and less overtime, maybe not against other currencies but certainly within itself.
Euro was created as an improved version of Deutsche Mark. Accepting countries with weaker economics to eurozone slightly devaluates euro and boost german export. Countries like Grece play their role pretty well. In that case, inflation is a goal of creating currency.
Deflation currency is deadly for countries export and economy.

A lot of investors pull of money from Bitcoin and Etherereum to invest in the new and explosive twin coin BCHABC and BCHSV.
According to your logic, people are selling all coins (because literally, everything from the 1st CMC page is red) in order to buy new scamcoins. Which is not true because BCHABC and BCHSV as I see are not growing right now while the entire market is getting huge losses.
There should be something else.

People say 'Well, I'll sell you goods in bitcoins, but they change the price of those every time the price of the dollar changes in relation to the bitcoin - they're pricing off the dollar.'

So his argument seems to be bitcoin can't be a currency because the amount of bitcoin per dollar is constantly changing? So are we just ignoring how unstable the dollar is? In 1990, there was around $300 billion in circulation. Today there is over $3.5 trillion. The government can and do create more currency at will. The dollar is guaranteed by a government that is $21 trillion in debt. The US dollar has lost over 95% of its purchasing power in the last 100 years.



You maybe don't want to talk trash about bitcoin being unstable when your favored currency is worse.


Slow inflation is required to provide stronger economic growth for the country while deflation will make the country uncompetitive on the world market. It is not painful for people because they can always invest their money with interest rates bigger than inflation. USD would never become what it is if its amount was fixed.
Comparing today's USD purchasing power with USD from 100 years ago is not showing anything.

1. We should require internet ID for all services. If you want free speech we should at least know who you are.

Now, at the times when you can lose your job, friends, social status or even get falsely accused and get in jail for your political sights, this is one of the most retarded things that could be done.
Maybe Flying Hellfish made a self-moderated thread because he wants to know who you are?
Quote from: Bitcoin Forum

Trump uses his own money to do something perfectly legal and it is a "campaign finance violation", but the democrats censor millions of conservatives over social media for no charge, and allow Democrat talking points to get thru and none of you care. You don't think that is worth a lot of money? Oh but a stripper! No one cares.

Most of the social media always were controlled by leftist democrats.
That seems like everyone who stands against them is rasist / sexist / troll / russian bot etc. and not deserved to talk. We can even see it on this forum. So classic.

The teamis very experienced in their work
The best team of translators ever!
Many translators work here. It's good team.
And for affordable price

The amount of newbie ranked "happy customers"  over the thread with a lack of portfolio makes me think that this is either a scam or just a google translate with a highly suspicious shill.
Just look through the entire thread before ordering anything from this user  Wink
Also you can see, that my thread is here more than 6 month, so if it was a scam, so i Don't think I would stay here for so long
With such offer, I would not be surprised that you could not find adequate customer during this time.
Even if you did customer not always can check the translation on the unknown language. Google translate still can be considered as scam.

I'm not blaming anyone.
Once again: I'm just saying that the current situations could be much worse if Hillary Clinton and Democrats (which still plays an important role in the US establishment and planning to take part in next elections, she is pretty far from being "nobody") were in charge of the country.
Anyway, today's global politics is an insanely dirty thing, no matter which party is having the majority.

Hillary Clinton is a wannabe republican... she is well-known as a "war-hawk" and is not typical of democrats... her policies were more right-wing than left-wing... she claimed to be a "centrist", but acted more like a Republican than a Democrat (sellout to all the special interests like war, pharmaceuticals, etc)
She was so right that she decided to increase income taxes. Increase welfare and open borders for immigrants (what democrats were continuously doing over the last years).
Typical right-wing behavior.

Republicans create terrorists
Any proofs?
IMHO democrats are in close friendship with Saudi Arabia (and also receiving donations from them during US elections) which is the main sponsor of terrorism in its region.
Democrats were working with terrorists in the past. They are way closer to terrorism rather than democrats.

So you think a democratic president flew his son-in-law to Saudi Arabia to personally negotiate a $110 billion weapons deal... Jared Cushner even called the CEO of Lockheed Martin to personally negotiate a better deal for Saudi Arabia on war-planes!
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/18/world/middleeast/jared-kushner-saudi-arabia-arms-deal-lockheed.html

Trump applied and received a dozen licenses for new businesses from Saudi Arabia while he was running for president, before even being elected
https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/306990-trump-appeared-to-register-eight-companies-in-saudi-arabia

Saudi Arabia paid Trump $270,000 to stay in his hotel (paying way more than the going rate = bribe)
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/06/president-trumps-dc-hotel-received-270000-from-saudi-arabia.html


Trump (and the republicans) have been in bed with Saudi Arabia since day fucking one... don't blame democrats for this bullshit

Surely there is nothing good in those points. But leftists usually use it just to blame trump. They always decide to be pacifists (only on words) when they need. It is nothing but lies. For example John McCain (which is considered as a "hero" by many Democrats) has been "fighting terrorism" while being in a close friendship with Saudi Arabia. Maybe it is better to fight terrorism whey you are inside their system?
I'm sure that everything could be way worse if another candidate, which received huge donations from Saudi Arabia during her elections, won the elections.

Do you believe the opening of borders has contributed to the rape problem in recent years?
Quote
Opening of borders can never be any reason of being raped. Its all about proper education and mentality. Once a rapist, always be a rapist, even in heaven.

Please tell it to the ones that were raped by those "refuges" that crowded EU.
Bringing people from the countries, where this rape stuff is totally uncontrolled and considered as a normal thing will definitely affect the residents of the country the most negative way.
In this way opening of borders will directly affect the sex crime rate.
876  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Okex - One of the largests crypto exchange in the world is deslisting 50 coins on: October 29, 2018, 11:21:29 AM
IMHO if an exchange is a reputable one then it somehow vouches for the markets it provides to its users. Then delisting all those unknown shitcoins seems more then reasonable. Demand for the coin supposed to be formed by the real demand and not by the exchange.

Early this month Okex announced trading pairs with other Stable coins, like USDC and TrueUSD, which a good step. We are not so dependent on tether anymore.
And on the other side the entire concept of stablecoins is not viable. Sooner or later they will go more or less the same way as Tether did.
If people want to trade crypto to fiat then they should find a way to do it without inventing any extra coins.
877  Other / Meta / Re: Strategies to prevent shit-posting on: June 24, 2018, 10:47:37 AM

2) Penalize bounty campaigns and ICO's that use bumping by shit-posting by displaying their thread permanently on page 10 or a special penalty page which reduces the size of their images and fonts.

It is not necessary to use ICO bumping service. Some of them can just combine their ANN thread with bounty and ask participants to provide weekly reports as a new reply to the thread. It will not violate such rules and still provide the necessary pumps for the ICO. Forum restrictions won't help in such cases.
IMO the best way is to create a website with a decent SEO that will have a garbage / shady ICO listing that will be shown at the first google pages. Their PR managers should see that shady activities may lead to fail, otherwise they will keep spamming the forum.
878  Other / Meta / Re: Reserve translations spammers on: May 28, 2018, 08:09:15 PM
What are bounty managers suppose to do about people who reserve posts? Sometimes they reserve posts and then edit it a few days later and the bounty manager might of not seen that they reserved it. This is something that needs to be enforced by the moderators. I know that bounty managers are seen as the evil of the forum and I would normally agree that  they are to blame for a lot of the problems but this is not one of them.
For example automate the translation applications via google stuff or set the rules that will not tolerate service offer via spam. If there are any good translators trying to get a promotion this way they will surely get rid of such a bad habbit when they understand that their current / previous spam will affect their further activities.
It won't clean this forum out of spam but at least everyone will know that those guys should not be trusted.
You will never get rid of spam in the internet even if you hire an army of moderators that will eliminate the forum community. Increasing the forum moderation will step by step lead us to nowhere. Even if it seem to be good at some point.
879  Other / Meta / Re: Reserve translations spammers on: May 28, 2018, 04:51:55 PM
Ofc such posts should be deleted as a spam but imho this is more about the bounty managers that work with this type of translators. It feels like that none of the reputable managers should use such service. It could be good if some of them could make a public blacklist with spammers and google translators and let the other managers add the other individuals if they find any.
This is definetely a kind of "community" problem that can't be solved by forum restrictions without harming the normal users.
880  Other / Meta / Re: Whats The Deal With All These NEW Threads Being Created by brand NEW members? on: May 25, 2018, 03:19:57 PM
All of them seem to be asking questions about something Bitcoin/Crypto related.
Let's ban everyone who is asking crypto related questions on bitcoin forum. Sure.

Just create a board for new members. You know it will have to be done sometime, so the sooner the better.
I know that something like this is already working on Russian local  section where newbies can't create threads anywhere excapt newbie section. But tbh I don't think it could be appliable to the whole forum because some services are creating their accounts and have to start their threads asap (but btw allowing thread creation to copper member newbies might help here).
