Yeah I knew that @ralle14 usually makes weekly updated tables and @Mitchell uses it to update OP of that thread. In addition, @Mitchell frequently (after a few months or one year ?) will ask moderators to split that thread, move old pages to Archive or Trash can.

Snapshots in OP don't reflect all bad things with campaigns in 2019 when some long-lasting and high-paid campaigns stopped such as Bitsler, Yolodice, FortuneJack, BitDice.

In general, I don't waste my time to check all pages in that topic to retrospectively look at past campaigns. With the objective of this topic, I only need a few snapshots from Wayback Machine, for an overview with another viewpoint about Bitcoin adoption and its impact on forum signature campaigns

• Make your topic title, posts more attractive
• Topic title style guide (theymos)
• Bitcointalk posting etiquette

If you search, you can find those topics so let me share, [Guide] Searching effectively.

I know that but I won't spend my time to check each campaign in the past and calculate their max budget for each week and make a sum max budget for all active campaigns each week.

I shared ^{in OP} that in the past, there are less total spots for each campaign and as you can see in screenshots, their payrates were lower than nowadays campaigns too. You can make a rough estimation and obviously, nowadays we have increases of both total active campaigns and total max budget from all campaigns each week.

I won't go to make it but you can use my past charts from Forum's 2020 year-end report

I meant there are more companies accepted Bitcoin as their payment methods and they have more users who use cryptocurrency exclusively Bitcoin. Then they decided to run their signature campaigns in the forum and more positively, they open more max spots in their campaigns as well as increase pay rates for their participants.

If you are interested in more snapshots, you can check it with Wayback Machine (link is given in OP).

The topic objective is to compare between two bear markets so I won't derail from it.

• If we are Bitcoiners, we should know about Bitcoin Talk forum.
• If we are Bitcoiners, we should do care about Bitcoin adoption because with bigger adoption, demands will become higher while supply is the same or even less (with more bitcoins will be lost over years).

Today, during the weekend I have spare time and make this topic with following objectives

• Snapshots of BTC-paid signature campaigns on the forum in past two bear markets
• Data source: Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns and Wayback Machine

Summary:

• 28 Jan 2019: 15 campaigns
• 16 June 2019: 15 campaigns
• 14 May 2022: 19 campaigns
• 14 November 2022: 22 campaigns

Only looking at total active campaigns, we easily see increasing numbers that can be a signal of more companies accept Bitcoin and some of them bring their companies to the forum to advertise here.

However, it is not enough if we only look at that tip of iceberg. Checking further with total available spots for each campaign and total active campaigns, you can see the more significant increases of 2022 campaigns compare to 2019 campaigns.

I don't show you detailed figures about that but I was in 2019 bear market and can tell you that back in the year, each campaign usually has about 10 or 15 total spots. It is very different than in this year 2022, we have many campaigns with 40, 50 or 60 available spots (exclusively Hero / Legendary members, not yet count about lower ranks).

It somewhat shows that companies in 2022 bear market are ready to spend significant bigger budgets to promote their companies and services on Bitcoin Talk forum. Somewhat it reflects the Bitcoin adoption that helps those companies have more users and obviously more income.

Argentina and Brazil always are one of best candidates for World Cup title. It is not different in the tournament this year and it's special for Argentina as they just had a unbeaten streak and came very closely to break the current one holds by Italy. Eventually they failed by a shocked defeat with Saudi Arabia. This tournament is special for them because of two more reasons:

• They won a first title with Messi in Coppa America and it is a first title for Argentina after many years too.
• It can be a last World Cup for Messi.

Brazil are strong too but the injury of Neymar and some swing defenders can impact them in rest of this tournament.

Germany is a good example that from theory to realistic, things can be very different. Germany was considered as one of strongest team this year and they can win or fail but was out after only three matches is unbelievable.

Other things I learned from you about Livecasino.io as well as Bitcasino.io. I also know that these three casinos belong to same owners: Livecasino.io, Bitcasino.io and Sporstbet.io.

If two casinos have that page, how about Sportsbet.io?

It's obviously that I believe in this hypothesis because it makes a lot of sense and looks very logical.

Testing with small bets but with high frequencies and big total number of bet are great to testing this hypothesis. In addition, it takes time too because we should test it a few months to have enough sample size.

This hypothesis can be true at the moment but can be changed later if casino changes their management. Nothing last forever and we must adapt to lively changes.

Honestly, it is unnecessary and if it is allowed, it turns to be really annoying in my opinion.

There are two main parts:
- Feedback description: that is should be short enough, like an abstract. It does not need to be too long because we don't need a letter of feedback.
- Feedback reference: that is where you can leave more details like create a topic, collect information there and mark it as reference for your feedback.

You can not leave more than 600-charactered feedback now.

It was allowed in the past, before this change in 2019

I can miss something and don't know all about the forum but I tried to collect historic changes of the forum in my topic that is available for you and everyone to step by and check anytime.  

• Bitcointalk's historic changes

It is a good preventive solution. When you feel unsafe with your device and your coins are still in that wallet, you should move your coins to a new wallet. Remember, a new wallet, not a new address!

You can sweep too

• Sweeping your private keys into Electrum
• Can I sweep private keys from other Bitcoin clients

Rumor, level of total capital evaporated in FTX collapse and the very short time of the exchange collapse make people superb panic.

I could be wrong because I did not experience past collapses (I only join cryptocurrency market in 2017) but for me, this collapse makes some records for fastest collapse within 2 days and total capital lost on FTX itself as well as impacts on some related cryptocurrency companies in FTX network.

People don't change and they will send their coins to exchanges again when panic gone.

First, to have best view for such situation, we should see it with a bird-eye view and that image is not from a bird-eye view.
Second, if we apply technology, we should believe in it. Nothing is perfect and a semi-automated offline detection technology is not perfect but it is useful and if there are drawbacks, it will be improved in future.

The match already ended, result is final so it's time to move on.

Uruguay might be another big team will be out. In this World Cup, Uruguay have very bad attacking because old strikers like Suarez, Cavani can not play well and a young striker Darwin Nunez can not replace them well.

To use Bitcoin as a payment method like what you and your locals are doing, it makes sense to remind you and your friends remember to use non custodial wallets such as Electrum wallet to use.

Because you will easily to make transaction with very cheap transaction fee less than $0.1 per transaction (assume you use high fee rate). It is good about transaction fee but also makes sense because you will not have to rely on centralized exchanges. They usually charge you very expensive withdrawal fee (if you don't use feature to send internal like Binance) and centralized exchanges can scam anytime.

References for exchange withdrawal fee

• Guide to check fees: Taker, maker, deposit, withdrawal, transaction fees
• Old story. Exchanges get profits from users' withdrawal fees.

Mbappe did response very bad and unacceptable after he failed to move to Real Madrid, signed a new contract with PSG with some promised high privileges. After staying in Paris, he felt that these promises were not kept by PSG and shown his bad behavior that impacts impression of Perez about Mbappe.

Real Madrid have Vinicius and Rodrygo and if we compare Vinicius with Mbappe, I don't see much difference between them. Vinicius has good speed but he is better than Mbappe because he is more ready to contribute to a club's system operation and does not have problem to support other players. With this attitude, Vinicius is more useful for Real Madrid than Mbappe.

Rodrygo has good growth in the past season but he must keep it up and improve more to reach to a level of Vinicius, not yet mention about a level of Mbappe. Similar to Vinicius, Rodrygo is helpful for Los Blancos too because of his friendly attitude.

You only know you can win big with high multiplier or not if you practice betting with high risk and high chance to win big. Although, big wins are not common, a more important point is if you win either small or big and want to submit a withdrawal request, a legit casino will approve your request and process it for you.

Rollbit has good reputation and I am not doubtful about their legitimacy at all.

Chasing with high multipliers and have big wins can make you satisfied a bit but at the end of a day, your net result, win or lose is more important than whether within that day you have a big win or big loss. Because after all, will you go to bankruptcy or maintain your initial capital as well as have a minor or good increase of it.

Interesting about slot games!

Gambling means odds of losing and winning but by understanding comprehensively about operations of casinos - how they set up and reset their prize pools for slot games and when they usually do that; most crowded hours on that casino when they have most gamblers actively bet. Slot gamblers can increase their probability to win or even win big if they make bets around end of a month and within most crowded hours on a specific casino.

Each casino has different customer distribution geographically so that their most active hours would be different too.

As human instinct, we all will be panic if things go different than what we thought and worse if things can lead to forced liquidations, bankruptcy by our bad decisions. The level of panic would be higher if a potential loss is bigger and its impact on our lives is more seriously.

Newbies and beginners are most vulnerable people in the market because they are lack of knowledge and experience. Times, experience and learned-lessons from own loses can help them to grow up and to become better versions of themselves.

When they have more comprehensive knowledge, more experience and better ability to control their fear and greed, they will have less odds to be panic.

The beauty of Spot trading is even if you make mistake with a wrong entry and if you don't cut loss, you are still able to hold your asset and wait for recovery or a new bull run. Here I am talking about Bitcoin which is a safest cryptocurrency to invest in.

With Leverage (Margin) trading or Future trading, if you make mistake and don't cut loss, in worst case you will be forced liquidated by exchanges.

Please look at the Fear and Greed Index chart and tell me, is it a good period to be greed or fearful?

As an owner of a cryptocurrency exchange, with many trading types: Spot, Margin, Future and more, Sam Bankman-Fried should know very well about mechanisms to liquidate FTX users' collateral. That is not much different than mechanisms of forced liquidation on other exchanges and similar to bank liquidation too.

Sum up, he should know very well about extremely high risk of using FTT token as collateral for his company loan. He can not say he did not know about that risk and is innocent.

Think or not think to run away with customer money, it is not a matter.  A serious matter is he and his colleagues used customer money without any inform to them and any permission from their customers. That is enough to be called as guilty but worse they used such capital for their own benefits (buying expensive real estates, building up their reputation with politicians, etc.). All of these were not done for benefit of FTX customers at any scale.

All teams still have their chances to end in a first two positions and both last matches are important for all. Argentina must win Poland if they don't want to bet that they will get a lucky ticket from Mexico. Poland with their players, will very hard to beat Argentina unless Argentina suicide in the match.

Saudi Arabia will not likely to have 3 points from Mexico and they will even have a loss and at the end, they might have similar ending like Iran yesterday.

Interesting table but I believe Argentina and Messi will secure their chance by themselves with three points from Poland and that looks like a bad ending for Poland and Lewandowski in this group.

Both teams don't want to fail in this match because if they fail, they will face with a very bad ending after all in this group. One point is better than a lose at any goal difference so I am sure they will begin this match with very high careful approach.

Argentina have more good attacking players than Poland especially Messi who can decide a match with either one shot (like a goal he scored in a match with Mexico) or opportunities he can support his team mates. If a match result simply depends on odds on sportsbook, gamblers should win a lot but I agree with you that Argentina have more chance to win this match.

Time flies so fast and after about 3 years, Bitcoin blockchain size increases from less than 300 GB to 440.43 GB at 29 November 2022 according to ycharts.com

If you want to run a full node, a hard disk (should be HDD, not SSD) with free space about 500 GB or more is recommended.

Thank you for the guide which I forgot that it is available in Profile settings but it does not solve my issue which was misunderstood by you.

I meant that lately if I am composing my post and someone else makes their posts in the meantime, when I click on Post button, I will get that warning (that is very normal, it is here for years already) and I can not publish my post (that is something new and occurred recent weeks).

Not only me but FatFork confirmed it below too.



Let me try it next times when I get that error. Does it solve that problem for you guys?
