So, I started using this forum a couple of days ago. I posted a couple of questions that I really have on the issues that are of interest to me.

Instead of good responses, I am getting real shit posts. here's an example - http://joxi.ru/V2V6ZRyU0Oabb2. I am not trying to be a guy who's annoyingly compaining all the time and I am sure that I would love the years that I will spend here. I am a copywriter and write a lot on crypto and ICO.

I understand that there's some farming going on here. And that's probably OK.

So, I just have to use the "report to moderator" button and move on, right? And it's most definetly going to get much tougher with more and more farmers flocking here within the next couple of years, right.

What's your take? Is there a lot of farming and very little? Like from 1 to 100 scores?

Hi Guys,

I work as a copywrtier in crypto and ICO. So, I am trying to keep track of what's going on in the field.

Usually, every morning, I open Coindesk and read all the articles that were published after my last visit. The articles aren't pretty good, TBH. But, what's you gonna do... Then I start working, then I jog with my dog or jog with my partner. I can see that this routine has helped a lot since I am quickly getting deep into a wide set of issues and read the worthy content. However, I would win from some video news or reporting on the very-very current events.

I used to watch CBS evening news every day, since it has some coverage on the international events (I am currently located in Moscow, Russia) and would help you get better at your English. But now I don't want to, coz I am sort "grown out of that".

I can' find any similar coverage on the net. I can see some videos from DataDash (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Nnveju890), but I don't particularly like this style and approach. The main problem is that I watch him 1,5x speed and still can't get anything useful, outside of some blahhhhhhh.

So, what are your suggestions?

P.S.

I am not speaking about coin-specific or issue-specific vids, coz, yeah, there are a lot of such vids online and I love them, like the ones from boxmining, david hay and altcoin buzz. They are not the best content in the world, but they are there, you know.

Hi guys,

I am a newbie copywriter. For the last 4 weeks I have been writing articles in Russian on bitcoin, ICOs, alt coins. I am starting to get immersed into this area and believe that it has a great potential to help peoplekind move forward. Also, I am thinking over a couple of ideas for my own ICO in a couple of years. Something to deal with famine fighting and incentives for micro-investment, combined. And, naturally, since the industry is booming, I am making good money, doing what I like, which is writing.

Right, so, I am totally pro-crypto, but a couple of weeks ago I heard about the story that one of the wealthiest men in Canada and his wife were stranged in their mansion. They were no signs of fight. They had the marks on their necks that showed that there stranged and not poisoned, etc. There were no other bruises on their bodies. As fas as I understand, the Canadians are very piece-loving, they are very tolerant to gays, immigrants, etc. I would be extremely happy to move to Canada from Russia, you know.

So, the motives:
1) hadred tor for the rich folk is out of question (http://cdn.axar.az/2017/11/07/maxresdefault.jpg)
2) double murder and suicide - not really plausible, coz they were happy, I guess.
3) they were killed for bitcoins or other crypto

So, my first thought when I saw the news was - they were most def strangled for their bitcoins. Well, maybe, it wasn't my first thought. Maybe, third or fourth. But it was right there. Here's a link to article about this occurrence - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2017/12/18/billionaire-couple-found-dead-in-their-basement-had-been-strangled-canadian-police-say/.

Then, I decided to Google "Barry Sherman killed bitcoin" There's nothing in TOP-50 in Google.


So, I decided to get back to work. Right now, I am writing a 5,000-word piece on Ethereum universe for newbies and I am sort going through all kinds of questions and tributaries. So, naturally, at some point, I have started writing up on "security, theft risk, etc.".

My rationale is like this:
1) Non-crypto assets: I can extort people all I want, but the FBI will trace my through WebMoney or bank accounts. Or they won't. I don't want to take on the risks of beight caught. That's why I actually don't carry out any "bad" actions. Coz, it's very hard to calculate the risks that you face and I am not that study to believe that I am either the cleverest or luckiest guy on this planet.
2) Crypto-assets: I can extort people for money AND SCOOH with no risk whatsoever. Nobody's going to be able to trace my in cryptos. Well, even if they can, I will be able to do the "mixing procedure" and that's it.

So, everybody has, of course, read this piece: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1lfobc/i_am_a_timetraveler_from_the_future_here_to_beg/. If you haven't, you just have to.

So, in this piece, the time-traveller says all kinds of wacko stuff. The point that drew my attention is the construction of castles for the wealthy to hide from the plebes. But, wait a second, that's exactly what was happening during the Middle Ages, and before the Middle Ages. Well, I think that that's was happening from this point (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGKlOkAMjJg) up to the point, when my people - tha bourgeois and tha nerd, that might actually be the same - came to the front and said that it's much easier to figure out problems through futures, stocks, contracts and just negotiations, you know. A couple of weeks ago I translated a contract for the lease of the apartment in London with the term of 1000 years.

But, now, the anonymity and pseudononimity of cryptos sort of incentivize people to think over extortion.

The other assets are hard to sell, if you steal them. The cash can be marked or the numbers of banknotes can be traceable. The online activities can be tracked.

And, let's make it clear, I am not a sportish guy. I like to read books and to roller blades.

I have some bitcoins. Let's say, I have one bitcoin. What if its prices goes up to 2 mil. Will a potential perp track me to the small suburb in Tha, where I am living, come here and sort or extort my bitcoin from me?

What's your take, guys? Is there any feasible mechanism to achieve the anti-double-whammy:

1) get all the perks that come from anonymity and pseudonimity
2) disincentivize anybody from trying to extort your coins out of you, coz it's hard to scooch away with them.

Hi guys,

My name is Andrew. I am a translator and interpreter. I am working right now for a team that develops WordCoin crypto. I am not a pro in this field.

Could you tell me please what you think about it, being pro in crypto?
