If you have truly read the post about ranking up as you have claimed, you wouldn't be asking if it's true. Of course it is true!

And I hate to do this; but your post history speaks more on the reason why you don't get any merit. Its because of some horrible posters that is why the merit system was introduced at the first place.

If you want to get merits my advice is; don't beg or seek for it. Contribute to this forum genuinely without bothering about the merits and it will flow in. I know the desire for merits to rank up is because of the signature campaign but it shouldn't be our number priority for been in this forum.

And moreover, this topic should be on the Meta section not here.

Now this is one hell of a great project! OP, The idea is outstanding, its like putting everything in one place. The poster above has good points. Just to add; it will be good if this coins profiles have a review options where people who already have the coins can say something about it just to make it easier for those who want to invest.
Also, if its possible; let there be a feature whereby a user can easily covert or sell one coin for another in the site. If this is done, please, the site security should be extremely tight.

Do let us know if this project is complete. Love to see what it looks like.  

Payment comfirmed. Thanks sir and to the team.

In my state, its almost same as China but there are still many offline stores that collects cash from their customers. Here, there are many people who stops or opt-out from using the credit cards because according to them, it makes them spend more. You don't blame them though, everyone have their preference. I don't think the world may adapt or become a cashless society.

No matter how popular bitcoin may become, it will never be the world currency. Its an independent and decentralized coin. The government won't even let that happen because  every courts current is a symbolization of what the countries is and using bitcoin as the world currency will stripe away this value. But if it is bitcoin becoming popular; it will surely be and it will mostly be used online.

I think managing of time its most important and tops it all; its the essential thing a good gambler should try to emulate. Because when you manage your time; you play less and when you play less; you control  your urges to keep on playing. And when you control your urges to keep on playing; you become less addicted and you loss less. Its a web chain thing. Cause one bad incident leads to another.

I wondered also. I am curious about this myself. Probably from where he resides, there is a need for that or probably he might have seen people asking for help to translate the crypto names for easy investment. There are a lot of people who want to invest in digital coins but the only thing that is holding them down is the language barrier. Not everyone speaks and understands english. They don't want to be left out.

I don't know why you guys are leaving Ethereum behind. As for me, Ethereum is a very good coin and it will continue to be next after after bitcoin. Though, I see ADA (Cardona) and XLM (stellar) going places in the future too but that will be after Ethereum. Most coins in the market now are just the repetition of what some coins are. Its only fewer developers that have outstanding ideas for new coins.

Well, unfortunately yes it is. Its just in it nature to be unstable. These dumps and pumps in cryptocurrency are as a result of how people buy and sell; the higher people buy, it pumps and the higher people sell, it dumps. Its not in anybody nature to make it stable. And it sometimes shows that they are not been manipulated. But if you want a coin which might be stable one day, then go for Ripple.

The government don't like the paper money? I don't think so. They might say they don't but its a complete hoax because indirectly, they are gaining from it. Credit cards its good but have you consider people who trade offline, that aren't making use of POS? In as much as technology is good and moving places, there are some people whom are still lacking behind. So paper money can't disappear, it will continue to be.

Lol...the post title made me open the thread but seeing that its Reddit   oh Lord...will they never cease to amaze me. I read the whole article. I don't believe in time travellers though but the way the guy seems to lay down his claims might force some people to believe him and whoever backed out from bitcoin because of these is just a confuse being. True, we don't know what the future hold, we'll just wait to see it.

My point too. Unlike the rich, the poor goes into gambling because they are looking to make some money out of it. But the rich, though its not usually that they gamble because of business deals but because of the fun in it. May of them, love to throw in some money whenever they enter into any casino, they love to be admired as the biggest and popular gambler with huge money to throw in any casino. An addicted rich gambler don't care if they are losing, they just want the fame and the ladies all around them.

Ya, you're right. Learning courses online helps users to make out their time and also multi-task with other activities and if possible learning other different courses but I think studyibv about blockchain offline will be a better option, that is, a face to face interactions with the tutor as it will create opportunity for easy questioning and physical practical directions. I don't where OP reside but their are some countries with poor internet; one disadvantage of online learning.

It looks like this story is getting twisted day after day. I don't know if it's their rivals that are getting back at them to put them in more bigger mess by paying the media to write controversial articles about them. But from the stories I read and followed up;  it is said that they 'sold' the coins not 'moved' them. And they even confirm that more will be sold out then. I will be remain neutral on this till all is resolved.

Writing so much posts between a time interval because you are having a 'creative energy' shouldn't be an excuse for that. Its among the rules and you broke it. It was seen as spam which is why it was blocked. If I have been commenting on every post I read, probably my account would have been banned by now. You should comment on posts that interests you the 'most' not on every post you read.

And probably, you might have accessed your account with proxy or from an IP that have been banned; another reason that might have caused it. Well, just message them, probably a Mod might respond.

Its not really about following the footprint of bitcoin but its about giving something bigger than bitcoin did. I could probably say Ethereum, IOTA and ADA but yet its confusing cause to me in these three I see higher innovations. But, we can't be fully sure for now since they are all on their early evolution. I'll say let's give it more years to know how far they go since there are many coins now.

Why exactly is that illegal? This is my first time of hearing such because in my place, we see it as a normal activities and just as same as every other betting in football etc. I believe that not everyone can make it to the value where the horse racing is happening live. And this shouldn't make others who want to watch or bet on it to feel left out in participating. Or else it has to do with culture for you people.

If this ever happen then this forum will be turned into a whining court   where there will be constant threads of cases from forum users demeriting eachother because of little disagreement or dislike. I am glad Theymos disabled that option.
It will be very surprising that people will use the demerit button more than the merit button because its somehow in people's nature to act in certain ways in getting back at people they don't like. And I agree, there are posts which are not getting the merits they deserve but what can one do; the world entirely is an unfair place. Everyone can't be pleased.

There is no perfect time for investing in any cryptocurrency because any price you are seeing now could Either be there highest you are seeing or the lowest.  I presume you were fortunate waiting for a price lower than the 8k last week but now it didn't went down gone up. I advise to you; invest now or the next price will be higher for you. For there is a possibility of it going 10k above this week.

Most times, I have this feelings that most chart are manipulated by whale and heavy investors to bend the market to their own interest. That is why sometimes you  see the market going according  to a particular prediction. Nevertheless, there are charts which seems not to be manipulated and can still be trusted. But every traders should be skeptical of the charts that directions their trades.
