It's sad how there's so much potential for India's economy to develop however based from your remark, it seems like the government is in the hands of incompetent rulers. Instead of utilizing crypto to possibly help the economy move forward, there is now a possibility that the Indian government will declare a ban. Perhaps in the future they will begin to ease up on cryptocurrencies, after all there are many smart people in India.

Congratulations! This post of yours should inspire others, especially for those who have been struggling (and complaining) how hard the merit system is and how it prevents other users from ranking up. The tips you have provided may serve as a guide for those who have been whining about how unfair the merit system is since they don't receive any merits. You're genuine passion for cryptocurrency has been key to your success, which has been lacking for those who have been desperately begging or fishing for merits yet fail to do so.

Great news for the Muslim crypto users. The Shariah Law is very strict and even though it may be traditional and old, the Muslim still follow it even to this very day. I'm not so familiar with it but I have even heard that there is a penalty for those who steal, which is a violation of the Shariah Law, will have their hands chopped. So as you see, it's important to determine for the muslim whether a matter is compliant to their Shariah Law or not otherwise they may violate their law and/or religion.

People often mistake gambling to be similar with trading because of the risk of losing your money while in reality, there are some differences such as its method and the fact that it takes skill and analysis to trade.

I'd have to disagree with one of OP's points, which is that gamblers place orders without consideration. While some gamblers really don't, there are some of this who take things into consideration before making a bet. It may take purely luck (and not skill) to win in gambling but gamblers also consider some factors before betting.


Also, when you lose a trade you may analyze the factors which made you lose unlike with gambling which is randomized. Even when a gambler sustains numerous losses, he won't learn ways to avoid losing in the future. Gaining knowledge about gambling won't make you win more, but education of one's self will help you in the field of trading/

No one is going to be able to accurately predict the value of btc in the future or any other coin for that matter. People can only speculate. Even with all the predictions, there will be unforeseen events that will occur and may affect the prices as we know it. It's sometimes good to have a projection of the price and to keep updated of any activity or event which may contribute to the movement of the price.

It's not the number of merits. Increasing the number of sMerits won't do a thing if there's no meritorious post to be merited or if the threads are filled with spam posts. What OP may have been trying to say is that the current number of Merit sources may not be able to cover the threads and grant merit to the posts which deserve it since there are numerous posts in a day. If there were more merit sources, then it may be possible to find more posts to be merited among the threads.

Probably just an attempt to clean the name of ICOs. Even when described in a different way, we can't escape the fact that many have been victimized of fraudulent ICOs and even up to this day, there are still scams among the ICOs. Instead of being a financial instrument to be utilized by it's developers, it has become an instrument to fool investors and users. It's sad how this is supposed to be a way to financially enrich both the developers and investors however is abused by others.

Not really. Anything is possible, even for bitcoin to crash. It’s possible for even banks to go bankrupt or for fiat to totally lose it’s value even. Not to spread any fud or negativity, but I just wanted to be practical and realistic. All investors should prepare for the worst and anticipate if a crash occurs. If you invest everything and then shit hits the fan, then you’re in for some trouble.

According to this video, https://www.facebook.com/cnbccrypto/videos/1688689147880991/

Bitcoin is considered as property and therefore whenever you sell your BTCto cash, there are two transactions. You first sell the ‘property’ to cash value then what you gain from the sale is used as cash. These transactions are therefore taxable.

For HODLers, if you cash out it in less than a year then it would be considered as income so there’s tax for that. If you hodl for more than a year, then IRS will consider it as 20% capital gains.

After hearing the other success stories, especially from early adoptors, how long term or hodling has made them rich then it would definitely make the others happy as well. So long as it’s okay to wait and you don’t need to spend the money you have invested, then long term investors will remain to be happy. Market dips like this shouldn’t affect them if they’re in for the long term. They must be happy since they anticipate in the future when they get to enjoy their financial gain.

The requirement of KYC is actually starting to become controversial. Not many are happy with having to provide their personal information, and they don’t understand why it is needed. Scams are made and information are phished through some of these airdrops or ICOs. This can’t be avoided so the same scandal may happen even in the world of cryptocurrencies. As users, we must be cautious and know how to protect our personal data.

That’s if the other social media platforms don’t choose to ban ICO ads as well. This is goig to affect ICOs because their range is going to lessen since they won’t be able to reach twitter. It’s not the end of the world for them however since there are many other ways for them to advertise other than through twitter. I imagine that twitter has done this out of the concern of their users and to prevent any other from getting scammed.

Banks are not originally made for you to earn income. Banks are made to protect your money and for it be secure. Even if you earn a (small) marginal interest in your savings, you won’t actually earn that much. It’s sort of like an incentive for keeping your money in the account and for not spending or withdrawing it.

Pretty cool. This will help the traders who don’t get to check the prices often, but short trade daily. There are some other apps which allows a trader to be alerted whenever a price reaches a certain amount set by them, and there’s also the option of auto-selling once the price has reached the desired selling price. These kind of features allow traders to maximize their time, and they get to do other things while they don’t always check the prices

For short traders, their strategy is to buy more coins while it is cheap and is experiencing a downtrend. For those who are in for the long term and are hodlers, they will choose to hold their coins even if there’s a downtrend. Obviously, what one would do during a downtrend would depend on what kind of investor you are. The best advice for both is to keep calm and refrain from panic selling when experiencing a downtrend.

There's nothing wrong for a newbie to work as a bounty campaign manager so as long you know what you're doing. Your account rank level does not equate to skill. It's just important that you know that the tasks and functions of the manager and to pick your participants well. Your participants however may be reluctant of trusting you to pay them so I suggest that you get an escrow first since you're not as reputable.

It's not a surprise for Australia to take such action. The authorities would always want to avoid money laundering to occur within their country. So long as this does not deprive the crypto users and exchanges in their country, then I don't see any harm in having these rules. This should protect and safeguard their citizens and crypto-users in their country as well from said financial terrorists or potential scammers even.

I think you mean adoption*. Adaption is when something changes in order to suit to an environment or new conditions.

As of now, several countries are choosing to adopt cryptocurrency and perhaps the other countries will do so as well in the future. If crypto were to be adopted in the business and financial industries, the the world of payment systems will be revolutionized as we know it. However, for crypto to be adopted by the mass public then a problem arises here because not everyone has access to the internet - which is essential for the use of crypto.

I think this is the most important which most people forget. When the price goes down even for just a little, they lose their minds and get worried of the money they're going to loss before even thinking about how the market works and how it is globally affected. People must first research and assess the market before making an investment, otherwise if they don't know see the global view of the market, then they won't understand why the price frequently fluctuates and is affected by global factors.
