It is possible that there are members who are completely separated from everything that happens on the forum, so they do not know what is actually happening with sig campaigns (it is even possible that they have blocked signatures)
They can turn off users' avatars and signatures in their profile. Look and Layout Preferences with two following options.

Don't show users' avatars.
Don't show users' signatures.

but that is something that they can find out very easily without asking anyone. Even if you created an account in 2013 and have not been active in recent years, the forum has not changed too much in the sense that today it is more difficult to find your way around all the boards that exist - or use the forum search.
I agree the forum infrastructure does not change too much since 2017 when I joined the forum. Without and with merit system, some changes in Trust, feedback, it is nearly the same like 7 years ago.

ETF companies are primarily for-profit companies so they will most likely choose the network that they believe will give them the greatest profits in the event of a hard fork.
As big capital management companies, they will think of safety for capital they are managed, not profit first. Because profit can be gained later when chaos ends and risk is smaller, they can find new opportunities to get profit. If they lose capital of their customers, they will go bankrupted and go into jails.

ETF companies don't own private keys and they will have to depend on their partners, the custodians like Coinbase, to claim forked coins. If Coinbase support, I believe they will do, fork claims, ETF companies will not lose anything.

The 2017 hard fork create Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, but we see the main chain, Bitcoin continues to grow, higher and higher in hash rate and price. Bitcoin Cash, the forked coin is like a bonus.

Quote
This means that they will most likely choose the network in which the price is higher or the number of investors is greater. As for ETF investors, they do not have the right to object or choose the network that suits them because in reality they do not own Bitcoin, but rather own shares in these companies, and therefore they are forced to accept the choice of networks that the companies choose.
ETF investors depend on ETF companies which in turn depend on their third-party partners, custodians for example Coinbase. It is like chain of risk from customers to ETF companies to Custodian service providers.

Merits are basically appreciation that you get for the posts that you make in the forum, and to be honest, the amount of happiness also depends on the fact that the person who has given you merits. When you get merited from a well-known, reputable, and trusted member of the forum, you feel privileged and happy for them to appreciate you for what you have contributed, at least I feel that way, but I'm not sure about others.
I am a Full member when forum started to use the merit system and I thought that, what the hell I will stuck as Full member forever. It's shame to admit that before the merit system appearance, I consider myself as a spammer. The merit system changed me, it forced me to spend more time to learn, thinking and write good posts. Many months later, I ranked up from Full member to Hero member as you see now.

Happiness is biggest when I firstly ranked up to Senior member rank because earning my first 150 merits is very difficult. A next rank up to Hero member rank does not give me that same feeling.

I am still far from Legendary, about 170 more merit but I feel like recent months, it is harder to earn merit. It will be time for me to feel exciting if I just receive merit for my posts.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: Today at 03:17:05 AM
The game between Leverkusen and Real Madrid in the next season the Champions League is something we are going to maybe see in the race between Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso.
But the fact about this match is that's still far. While I think we should first talk about the game between Real Madrid and Dortmund which is something we are going to see soon.
There is no UEFA Super Cup match between Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen because they both need to be champions in Champions League and Europa League. We know Leverkusen failed in Europa League final by Atalanta and only Real Madrid can have a chance to play that Super Cub match. If they are there, their opponent will be Atalanta.

I don't know what race between Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso you want to say here. Xabi likely wants to get a coach position at Real Madrid but he has to wait for Ancelotti to leave that position, to step down or be sacked. Two coaches will only meet each other in actual matches if two clubs will be drawn in a same group next season and for now, we don't know it will happen or not.

Quote
I know Dortmound's chance is really low against a team like Real Madrid but seeing them play in the Champions League final match is something we couldn't expect and it's more like a miracle, that's why we should consider the chance for Dortmound to even win this match.
If Atalanta can beat Leverkusen, I see Dortmund will feel their chance in the final match with Real Madrid which is not too big but not too small. Real Madrid are stronger and more experienced than Leverkusen in such final match and with their coach, Ancelotti, they will have good preparation for the final, from training, tactics to warnings to wake up players and eliminate any underestimation and arrogant against Dortmund before and during the match.

I believe experience of Real Madrid and their carefulness will reduce chance for Dortmund to make a shock. Atalanta made big shock because lack of experience from Leverkusen from players to coach even they have an amazing season.

I always use highly volatile coins and stable coins trading pairs. Sometimes it works well but sometimes, as normal I lose.
In uncertain times, price is usually boring and it does not change too much. It often fluctuates up and down with very small price change margin. It's not intersting time for trading because when you trade, you need volatility. However, if you are in uncertain time, you will now know that next big volatility will be up or down, and it's very risky to hold your position and hope that market will move up or down to give your position profit.

I will wait for the market to start its high volatility time, a big crash, then I wait for like 30 minutes or 1 hour, before I start trading. If you want a safer entry, you can wait like 4 hours after a crash to enter the market.

Quote
I would say that trading is just good and profitable during bull season but not during bear season.
Trading is for both market types, bear and bull. In bear and bull market, you always will see market crash, correction but if you can wait for it to happen, wait for a few hours for market to calm down, you can trade in both bear and bull market.

Trading means you don't let your position opens for a long time and you don't hold your position in days or weeks.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rune vs BRC20 on: May 23, 2024, 11:05:42 AM
What are the other key differences between Rune and BRC20? Are there more compelling cases for Rune as an innovative btc standard?
Both Ordinals and Runes are from altcoin developers who saw great chances to deploy their useless NFTs on Bitcoin blockchain by exploiting holes in Taproot. I don't consider they are Bitcoin developers and those projects like Ordinals, Runes are not projects that built for Bitcoin communities.

People who don't have experience, are greed enough, will be scammed by Ordinals and Runes, lose their bitcoins to purchase those useless NFTs and their native tokens as well as waste their bitcoins to mint those inscriptions.

After creating many shit forks like BCH, BSV and more, most are dead now, these scam developers found other ways to steal bitcoin from greed people. They want to get rich and the easy way to get rich is holding their bitcoins but they unfortunately choose to do a harder way, invest in Ordinals, Runes and will lose their bitcoins.

How many Bitcoin forks are there?
8  Other / Meta / Re: Why not temporary ban coinmapai199264? on: May 23, 2024, 10:56:55 AM
So IMO this user should be nuked immediately.
Is nuked only apply for newbies ?

For higher rank members, their accounts will be banned, temporarily or permanently, not nuked if I remember right about nuke.

Lauda as staff member had the ability to nuke newbie accounts that potentially could generate plenty of sig spam and account sales at the time they ranked up. If you exterminate the problem where it starts (newbies in this case), then eventually it will lead to a cleaner forum. Who's going to nuke these accounts now? Exactly... It's party time for account farmers looking to expand their farm gang.

That won't work, only Newbies can be nuked, and Mods aren't going to manually delete 1000+ posts.

After writing, I check the account and see it is a newbie. Sorry for this confusion because I saw he made many posts and I thought he is not a newbie. With many deleted post, now he is a newbie with only 2 posts.

11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accumulating Bitcoin or trading Bitcoin which is more wise to do. on: May 21, 2024, 11:35:13 AM
So, any day, anytime, I would pick accumulating Bitcoin. Trading doesn't hold much significance, unless when I buy more to accumulate more.. lol Cheesy
Accumulation bitcoins gradually with time is a good investment strategy as it will help you to gain many things simultaneously.

Increase your total capital spent in bitcoins as your investment.
Reduce impacts from price volatility.
Increase your portfolio ROI in a bull run because Bitcoin stays around bottom range with a longer time than how it stays in peak range in a bull run.

You will have more time to accumulate bitcoin than time to take profit in bullish months within a single cycle.

Your accumulation is only healthy and sustainable if you don't use all money you have at any specific time to invest in bitcoin. Because you always need to have money in either cash or stable coin to use for many necessary and vital things in your life.

DCA $50 weekly, in last four years, I invested $7,850 totally and now my portfolio value becomes $16,643.

12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why use decentralized bitcoin in a centralized way? on: May 21, 2024, 06:08:21 AM
I learnt that decentralization is a unique attribute of Bitcoin. And this attribute permits bitcoin users to have total control over their money and be their own banks.
Decentralization of Bitcoin has nothing to do with control or non-control of bitcoins for Bitcoin holders. It more relates to private keys/ mnemonic seeds.

If people use good wallet softwares, to create their wallets and by this get private keys, they will have control of their coins. If they use bad wallet softwares or use online accounts to store their bitcoins but don't have access and control of private keys, they don't actually control their coins.

Quote
From my research recently, I have come to realize that a lot of bitcoin users are still stuck with the traditional idea of saving money with a central authority. Importing this idea to a decentralized Bitcoin, has led to the invention of bitcoin banks, exchanges and custodial wallets.
Centralized platforms are built and provided for people who want convenience and don't want to learn basics to secure their money better. There are always people who want to get convenience and forget or don't care about security and safety.

But safety, security should be first considerations for all.

Quote
Now, as the day passes, more bitcoiners are becoming centralized.
I believe you only thought the fact is like this, believed it like this and I believe you did not write it base on any on chain information.

I think you dont get it, it is not about where to put it in the landing page but if you look at the image clearly then you will notice something wrong with it.
Look at what are under the About Us and what are under the Terms of Services, do you think what are listed under that matched to the title?
That's the main point by acroman, not about the position where they should put it in the landing page.

Hence, I think this is what acroman08 meant as shown below.

Example,

TERMS OF SERVICE                                       ABOUT US                                      COMMUNITY

Privacy policy.                                                   Blog.                                                 Facebook
AML policy.                                                        Help center.                                     Twitter
Terms and Conditions.                                    Live Support.                                   Instagram
Responsible Gambling                                    Promotion e.t.c.                              Telegram

The explanations from you both make sense and help me to understand it very well. Now, I got what acroman wanted to say and I agree with acroman and you all about the need to change the column headers or keep the column headers but change the sub lines under each column.

It is not hard to change but the business representative here must inform this issue to their team, then get internal approval for the changes. Then pass it to developer team to adjust their landing page a little bit.

16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: April 30, 2024, 02:09:02 AM
Well, we agree that Leverkusen is the team that has the greatest chance of winning the Europa League trophy. However, the opposing team will not let them be slaughtered easily, that's why maybe De Rossi will prepare something related to strategy, tactics and system when playing the match against Leverkusen.
They are very strong in this season and it seems this season belongs to Leverkusen to make history. They need to fight for it with last remaining matches but the finish line is not too far.

Quote
Moreover, the first leg match was held at home to AS Roma. Plus, both teams have attractive odds based on the betting exchange for these two teams. For now, I speculate that AS Roma has a chance of overthrowing Leverkusen in the first leg.
With new rules from UEFA, there is no advantage from home-away goals so advantage of a home stadium is smaller than in the past. Roma will try to have a win at home and try to repeat what they did last season, win at home, draw at Leverskusen's stadium and go to another Europa League final match.

Quote
As for Marseille and Atalanta, I think Marseille will be able to do a good job when they play against Atalanta in the semifinals. However, to be sure, we'll just have to wait until the time for the semifinal match of this competition is held.
Atalanta after beating Liverpool and creating one of biggest shocks in Europa League this season, will be considered as stronger than Marseille. However they will need to learn from their surprising win against Liverpool, and consider it as a warning to avoid another shock when facing Marseille. Marseille can be considered as weaker than Atalanta but they have ability to create surprise in two semi finals.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 30, 2024, 02:03:49 AM
I don't think Bayern have any positive surprises in this encounter and let me remind you that this is just a battle of words between Tuchel and Ancellotti, from the looks of things I think the Madrid boss won.
It's clear that Carlo Ancelotti has more experienced as a coach than Tuchel and even has a more successful player career than Tuchel. He wins more Champions League as a head coach than Tuchel and has more matches as a coach in Champions League than Tuchel. In records, Ancelotti is outperformed Tuchel but in only two matches, knock-out type, nothing can guarantee that Tuchel will fail after all.

Quote
To me both teams are weak in their defense line especially the German side, if they can stop Rodrigo and Vinicius Jr then they can have the night to themselves. Is going to be a busy night, not even the Bayern fans can help them win this one so Tuchel should be ready to shout his throat out.
Rodrygo and Vinicius are two most dangerous attacking players of Real Madrid in two semi finals against Bayern Munich but if I have to name a biggest change in Bayern Munich since Tuchel appearance there, it's a position change of Kimmich from a central midfielder to a wing back. It is position where Kimmich debuts his player career and recent months, he returns to that position.

Kimmich will be one of most important piece in Bayern Munich squad to constrain attacking power of Real Madrid from Vinicius and Rodrygo.

Well I think is not advisable for a beginner to invest in a newly launch project
Newbies, new investors in cryptocurrency market should not invest money into new projects.

New projects can be scam, will have rug pulls or their projects are not scam but their developers lack of capability to build up a successful project.

At the end, if an investor spends money to invest into a bad project, he will lose his capital.

Invest money into old project that has years and has passed through some market cycles, still survives, has good trading volume, it will be a safer investment choice. There will be less risk of rug pull and capability of that developer team already verifies by their works throughout some years and market cycles. By going through some market cycles, that project and developer team already survived through some hardest times in the past.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ETF approved in Hong Kong on: April 29, 2024, 03:46:50 AM
This is fundamentally good news! Remember what happened when US  ETFs were approved, even before that, we already saw market was pumping. So what happened recently is due to this also but the react is not that really high because seems some are not really appreciate ETF in Asia, but for me, we must appreciate this especially other region will do it also.
There will be positive effects because new Bitcoin Spot ETFs in any nation will bring more new investors to this market, new capital into this market. Demand increases and with time, it will be reflected on price, lift the price up.

I don't know how long will it take for the effects to be shown on the market trading volume and price, but it will be shown.

The bull run will show its big momentum some months after the halving and holders will get benefit from this bull run. If they can hold, they will have better price to take profit in this bull run that has yet reached to its highest price area.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 29, 2024, 03:42:36 AM
Man City and Arsenal have both been playing consistently and it looks like both teams will continue to win until the season ends, which means Man City will emerge as Premier League champions this season.
Manchester City have advantage and control the race with Arsenal but it is an assumption only. They only actually have advantage in this race if they can win their suspended match, then with same total matches, we will see what competitor will have more total points. If Manchester City can win their suspended match, they will actually have an advantage against Arsenal.

Quote
The tough opponents for both of them are Tottenham and Man United but if you look at the current condition of Tottenham and Man United, I think both Man City and Arsenal will have a big chance of winning.

Man United are completely dilapidated now, so they won't be a threat to Arsenal. Likewise with Tottenham, although their condition is not as bad as Man United, but their performance has declined at the end of this season, so it is very likely that Man City will win this match.
With some few matches left, 3 for Arsenal and 4 for Manchester City, many things can happen. Manchester City will win Premier League if they win remaining four matches and I believe they will be able to do that. However if Manchester City lose points in four remaining matches, Arsenal will have chance to take the trophy.
