It is good to have a rank with 2500+ earned merit and 2500+ activities which I can be eligible (of course for other members too).

However as I raised my opinion on this issue, I think having too many ranks is not good (it seems theymos has same opinion on it too) so if there is only one more rank, let's make it as a Lifetime Achievement Rank which should be superb hard to achieve. Like I proposed, let's make it 20,000+ earned merits, not required activities but should be not smaller than required activities for Legendary rank.

Its new rank name can be Elite so we will have an Elite class here

Utility is one of important components for success of a coin or a token. However, it is not a biggest or only decisive component and it must interact with other components to make value and success for a coin / token.

Without utility, it has zero value and zero price on market, zero trading volume too.

With utility, let's see other factors like tokenomics and security that are very important. With a broken tokenomics like GameFi projects, tokens will be dumped by gamers very easily and it is not good for token value and price on market.

With bad security, projects and their treasuries, smart contracts can be hacked, compromised and consequently, tokens can be over minted by hackers than dumped on market. It's not good for token price.

It is not an emergent request for a new rank above Legendary but I see it makes sense. In the past, such request was raised a few times.

• 2016: What's above Legendary?
• 2018: Above Legendary rank
• 2019: What if Theymos added new Rank after Legendary?
• With some rankups of outstanding members to above 10,000 earned merits, this request makes more sense. Personally I would like to have only one more rank with a required earned-merit is 20,000. I mean above Legendary is something really huge and very extreme challenging to reach it.

theymos has never replied on this idea and likely he did not feel comfortable to deploy it officially.

I know and we only the exact block number at which Bitcoin block reward will be halved. We can not know when exactly in time and date.

It is understandable to see differences in estimations from different sources. I remembered it was discussed months ago and maybe longer in the past too.

Personally, I don't time the market so I don't time the block halving time. These websites are good enough to give us a raw estimation on when a next block halving might happen.

Some websites to get estimated halving date.

They have different priorities in this season and FA Cup is not at top of their priorities especially Manchester City. I believe Arsenal don't put FA Cup at top of their priority list too because Premier League is bigger and they must assign best resources for it. It is especially important for Arsenal to focus on it and protect the 5 points difference they have against Manchester City.

Of course, they are both big clubs and are competing each other directly so they won't give up the match in FA Cup easily. So I am sure they will contribute an exciting match for us to watch on televisions or on field. However, I don't expect to see their best players to play because they need best players for Premier League and Champions League.

Buying a hardware wallet is a best solution for you.

If you don't want to buy hardware wallets, let's consider to use multi-sign (multi-signature) wallets. Keep your different multi-sign wallets at different devices so that you won't fall into cases with which all of your devices are compromised that in turn make your funds stolen by hackers.

In my opinion, setting up a 3-3 multi-sign wallet is good enough with 3 co-signers to activate any transaction.

If you want to use safe wallet (multi-sign) from a third party company, you can consider https://gnosis-safe.io wallet. Gnosis safe wallet supports multi chains and tokens too.

It is a second club sacked Frank Lampard after Chelsea. After having good debut in Derby Country which helped him to get a chance working for Chelsea, Lampard started to have bad parts of his coach career. From Chelsea to Everton, he failed even he tried to take a job at a smaller club than Chelsea with Everton.

Arsenal are stronger than Everton and they have outstanding form right now. Together with chaotic changes in Everton after Lampard sack, chance for Everton in the match is too small.

Arsenal have that chance if they beat Everton but don't under estimate Manchester City. They are still be able to catch Arsenal and they have enough player resource and ambition to do that.

After beating Manchester United and other big clubs previously, Everton won't bring too much fear to Arsenal. They will start the match with 3 points earning task but being careful is important. When a club like Everton is forcing to the edge, they can bounce very strong like a spring.

Arsenal can expand their gap with Manchester City to 8 points temporarily and create more pressure on their competitor after the match with Everton.

Nobody can be sure about future and nobody can be sure about what Tottenham can do in rest of season as well as their final ranking in Premier League.

The competition is extremely tight and it becomes more challenging for involved clubs with a sudden participation of Newcastle United. They are not a familiar name in top four competition but actually joined it in this season.

Tottenham can be in top four because currently their differences with Newcastle United and Manchester United are not too big. It can be covered any time if Tottenham play well and those clubs play bad. Though I believe in Tottenham ability, I agree with you that the competition is tight and Tottenham will have to fight to their last sweats to beat other clubs and be qualified for top four.

In their side, Tottenham must help Son Heung Min solves his performance crisis that is worse than expected. Kane has a good season but Son is different. He has a very disappointed season compares to the past one when he was a winner of the league's top scorer (together with Mohamed Salah from Liverpool).

You can not do anything and if you can, just very small contribution.

Volatility of Bitcoin is contributed by some factors like its small trading volume, small marketcap and limited regulations on this market.

• Bitcoin is a biggest cryptocurrency but it is still too small compares to many big tech companies.
• The Bitcoin market in particular is too small to be manipulated than stocks market. Institutional investors can more easily manipulate Bitcoin market with smaller capital than what they need to manipulate in stock market.
• Last but not least, the limited regulations on this market gives great chance for big entities to manipulate it.

Educating people around you about Bitcoin is what you can contribute for Bitcoin adoption and let's say Bitcoin volatility.

Human are greedy and they're always looking for something which can help them to be richer. Bitcoin is one of most profitable assets for investors so it is noisy on media in the last few years.

You can see how Bitcoin survived through many fuds, crashes in cryptocurrency market as well as many shocks from economics, politics black swan events.

Bitcoin is not dead but it was called as dead 450+ times.

Bitcoin will become stronger and stronger year by year because of Lindy effect that was mentioned in

One of easiest (but too naive) ways to see people interest in Bitcoin is Google Trend.

Topics serve for many purposes

• Ask for help. If you have trouble and can not find answers from available topics, you can create your topic to ask
• Share knowledge to help others. Doing this if there is no available topics in the past and if you can create your topics more collective and informative, more educational than previous topics.

I am sure, it is not easy but you don't have to boost yourself to create topics.

Don't have ideas, don't create your topics. It is not difficult.

With source links, you won't plagiarize anything but don't create topics by copying and pasting.

Forum is one of best sources to get high quality materials, information and discussions.

Globally accepted is different than globally legal tender.

Globally legal tender means if someone uses bitcoin to buy your goods at your store, you are not allowed to reject.
Globally accepted means you are free to accept or reject bitcoin as a payment method at your store.

Think more deeply, globally accepted does not mean it will be accepted every where on Earth, at all nations and all locations. Like the US. dollar which is a global currency but maybe you won't be able to use it at every location globally.

Satoshi can active his (assume Satoshi Nakamoto is male) wallets and get access to his bitcoins then dump it on the market. It can cause panic and somewhat selling pressure but it is all Satoshi Nakamoto can do if he is still alive.

You're right. Satoshi does not have any power to change Bitcoin protocol without enough support from Bitcoin communities. Segwit in 2017 and Taproot in 2020 is great examples that nobody, no single entity can change Bitcoin protocol.

Congratulate and enjoy it if you can 

It is true as per history, a big bull run does not come 1 year or longer before a Bitcoin halving. A next halving of Bitcoin block reward is in 2024 so it is realistic to say a new bull run has yet come.

Bitcoin has a mini bull run but profit is good enough so if you want to take profit, do it and enjoy. If you want to hodl it for longer time and better profit, let's do it too. Even this mini bull run is a bull trap, if you hold your bitcoins long enough, you will not lose that profit or get loss.

Year by year, since 2009, Bitcoin is bullish especially if you look at Yearly Minimum price of Bitcoin.

It is more like a short cut to directly visit a website or a page and it is not a mobile app. Similarly to bookmark pages on browsers for desktop.

You shared a great tutorial to reduce unnecessary time to visit bitcointalk for members but I think the topic title is misleading. Rather than "Bitcointalk as a Mobile app - Trick for iOS/ iPhone", you can change it to "Bitcointalk shortcut for mobile on iOS/iPhone". It's just my 2 cents suggestion.

Art contests or similar ones are for fun and people are more easily to drop merit on art works which are attractive, beautiful in their point of view. I don't say it is good or bad because if Art contest participants actually did those things, they spent time to think creatively (if not cheating) and create those stuffs so merit is well worthy for their creativeness and effort they put in.

However, as said it is easily to be abused by abusers. I did not observe the Pumpkin contest too closely but I believe merit distributions to artists won't be much different than the 10th anniversary contest. Difference if there is, only comes from lack of participation and merit distribution from theymos.

Ponzi is one of scam types and scams are everywhere, not only in cryptocurrency market, not only in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not scam but scammers try to use Bitcoin as one of their favorite scam tools against naive people.

Definitely Bitcoin is created to change the world, to stay here with us. It has yet been dead and won't die.
