A nice story OP but I do not how your nephew will react if price drop again.
Most likely not in a positive way. It reminds me of how people talk about market manipulation when the price is tanking, but completely ignore manipulation when the price is nicely going up.

I know from experience that some of my coworkers were skeptical about Bitcoin at first, then made some profits in 2017 because it was very difficult to lose, then turned in skeptics again after their paper losses increased significantly.

People find everything ok as long as they are on the winning hand, but as soon as they notice that losses are looming, they change and start blaming all types of external elements instead of their own ignorance.

Any Tom,dick and Harry can make profit in rising market. I guess rising market rise more because all think it will continue to rise. Panic starts when prices start to fail and people start losing their rational. Then brilliant opportunity also do not look good to them.

I am happy that OP introduced his nephew to bitcoin but if OP nephew is happy because BTC gained price then I doubt that his nephew future outlook might again change to earlier one.

I guess it is free and easy money where you are paid to learn ( learning is for your own benefit) but most people forget the part of learning.
OP question is very generic and first you need to focus your target area like trading,writing or PR and you can use your skills for earning.
344  Other / Meta / Re: [APPLICATION] cabalism13 as Merit Source on: April 27, 2019, 11:51:02 AM
All the best cabalism.

The truth be said about threads and replies which deserved attention from merit sources aren't deserving as it alt to be, which is the basic concern of many applicants for merit source. My concern is that, Admin has not yet given any answer to older application on the forum of which some are 3-5Months old. Although with your activeness on the forum, this may prompt the Admin to accept your application in a short distance time.

 For now, Congratulation for a potential Merit Source in the making, see you at the top.
That's ok, whenever Theymos want to appoint one , he knows about the interested users.
345  Other / Meta / Re: Why I was perma-ban? Spam or plagiarism? Hell no! on: April 27, 2019, 11:32:33 AM
Just Curious OP, Did you put the Yobit Signature ? There is mass banning of the people from Yobit campaign but do not think that ban was permanent.
346  Other / Meta / Re: Are users abusing the merit source application on: April 27, 2019, 10:01:17 AM

I stand to be corrected there are over 100 merit sources in the forum and has been very diligent in the approach of there duties.
No back to my topic merit source application. I have noticed when ever a member has attained a senior member rank there are a possibilities he/she might go ahead and apply for merit sources regardless if the forum needs any more merit sources at the moment.
Could this be right?
But don't you think that after earning 250 + merits, member understand the spirit and purpose of merit  better. If you check the stats then you will find that there are few in this forum that are able to climb from 0/10 to 250. Don't you think that they inspire you to climb the ladder when you are joining as newbie.

Quote
Most merit source application then to get merited. Could this be a scheme to get merit?  I know some of the merit sources where directly contacted by the forum about being a source.
If the forum when ever a space is available for merit sources contact user they feel is right and if they are interested put up there application for consideration.
It's appreciated if one wants to selflessly work for the forum.
There is no boundation that you need to merit that merit source application. In fact, I supported many applications without meriting the OP.  Application is needed to show your interest and if user do not put application ,then how the Theymos will know the member's interest. By judging the content of application , you can know a lot about that interested member.

PS :  I also ranked to Sr. Member by earning 250 merits and did not put any application but I think it is personal choice.
347  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's value after being more recognized and accepted globally. on: April 27, 2019, 02:11:32 AM
Apart from recognized as mode of payment, we are not very far away from rewards halving. All this factor can move price upwards and I guess one more spike can happen this winter.
For your price question at 2017, lot of people got interested in BTC suddenly and purchased it.
348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin fake money? Think again! on: April 27, 2019, 02:07:57 AM
A nice story OP but I do not how your nephew will react if price drop again.
In my view it does not make sense to compare game ( where you pay for entertainment ) vs Bitcoin ( i.e used for investment and payments).
349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gab wants to make a browser rewarding you in BTC on: April 26, 2019, 05:54:57 PM

They will add new countries based on number of users in each country, so small countries do not have great chances to get on this list. I hope Gab projects will not follow the same path, project only for selected countries it's not something I personally support.

I guess it not about adding specific country but it all dependent on how much advertisement/publisher that they are getting from that region.
It does not make any sense to show ads targeted for region X to be shown on region Y. (if lot of global business join them, then might everyone will get chance.

I am getting feeling that you are dealing with some service that is not offered in this forum that's why forum escrows are passing it.
Since your post mention whitehat so I am thinking whether you are aware of forum that goes by BHW (in short). I have no idea about how BHW forum works but I guess might you get more helpful replies there.
351  Other / Meta / Re: Topic: banned bitcointalk member on: April 26, 2019, 03:24:44 PM
I guess I also used to think on same lines but now I think asking for more rules for user to follow before giving merit will make giving merit a some kind of workload.
If there is scarcity of merit/smerits (more good post but less merits)  then current merit source can just request  theymos  for more.
352  Other / Meta / Re: Don't show users' signatures? YES on: April 26, 2019, 02:41:28 PM
Whenever I see a new signature  I just click on them. I do rarely visit the Altcoin Announcement board so it just give a little exposure to the altcoins.

Forum give the features to do disable the other user's signatures , I guess whenever I will use that option I will remove mine first. (It look unethical to me that I will display mine and will opt out for seeing others signatures.)

5) Bitcointalk.org collectible coin
For bitcointalk.org's 10th anniversary later this year, I was thinking that it might be cool to produce a limited run of 50-300 coins and give them out (maybe all-expenses-paid or maybe at cost) to users who meet some to-be-determined criteria. I'm not a collector, though, so I'm not knowledgeable about this stuff.

 - Does this sound like a good idea?
 - What features would make the coin especially interesting?
 - What's the best way to get a coin like this made?


I read it about first time and visited that OP and find that is only post of theymos in 8 page thread. Definitely does not fit in any way in "to do " list.

I am looking forward to reporter badges + new forum software.
354  Economy / Services / Re: Crypto site Guest posting $3 on: April 26, 2019, 01:25:15 PM
Your management is really doing a very shitty job.



Time to fire your management and lock this thread till you fix the issues.
355  Other / Meta / Re: account lock again part 2. Theymos see pls here!!!! Need help on: April 26, 2019, 02:00:52 AM
But moderator found old undeleted posts with viruses links and made a ban request again. I think it was a moderator mistake.

Definitely, Guy who is banned for posting malware should be thoroughly checked and all the malware posts need to be removed.

We have dealt with this situation. I've made a request to unban accounts spider703 and Mr.Spider703. And I have nothing to apologize for. I'm doing my job. It is you who should monitor the status of your account, not the forum staff.

I hope that, now spiderXX posting history is now free from malware links.


I guess malware in post of spider can impact other users also therefore  spider should  asked to confirm that now he know his post history and it is free from virus or mods need to look into it.
356  Other / Meta / Re: Digital goods section is a mess on: April 26, 2019, 01:47:31 AM
Anybody has any idea about the amount of transactions happens on that board? I always read the stories about someone got scammed there by "Autosell" link in the "Locked" thread.
Removing of the self -moderated thread should be done.
I am not against the thread locking but locked thread cannot be bumped for at least 2 days after unlocking.

Sellers should be encouraged to create a single thread for all related articles, I am currently seeing multiple threads by same seller for all closely related services.
357  Other / Meta / Re: In the process of willingly locking mdayonliner [locked: Password inside] on: April 25, 2019, 10:44:08 PM

If this is really his alt account, it would be more profitable for him to offer advice on how to raise the Bitcointalk account. Maybe Bitcointalk's first coach. Offering online consultancy, e-books, etc. Either that or move on and forget about the forum. Smiley


Offering coaching /writing in bitcoin will be much more profitable and give a good repo instead of coaching shitposter for ranking up here .(forget about neg you can get for this unethical service)



I'd like to be wrong though. If a dramatic exit was what he needed to change his ways - more power to him.

I do not think guy like mday can leave so easily. Even if Retina is an alt account, it still need some time to rank up.
I guess some account is already build up by mday (atleast to full member rank.) before announcing the departure.

358  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How do you imagine ideal society? on: April 25, 2019, 04:39:40 PM

So, ideal society is society where everybody are happy?
What is your definition of happiness?

Does not matter because what makes me happy might not make other happy.

Do you think that we can be happy only with material things or when our personal desires are fulfilled?
It seems that you are talking about personal happiness only here but what about happiness in society or in the world?
Don't you think that we should have some common, national goals as well?

You remind me of one of the scripture saying and gist of message is as follows.

Q: What work should I do?
A: Before doing any work, you should ask yourself whether your work will help the society? If answer is "Yes" then you should do that work if answer is no, then you should  check  whether it hill help your family?If answer is "Yes" then you should do that work if answer is no, them see if it benefits you?

Any work that is negatively impacting the society and family should not be undertaken at all.

(I do not know exact words, but the idea is from book Bhagwad gita.)
359  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The Real Problems with American Healthcare on: April 25, 2019, 04:21:25 PM

Don't get me wrong Suchmoon, you could be right -- though I do think that the market is the best place to ensure prices, competition, innovation, etc.

"You think" when in reality the observable facts prove the exact opposite.  As mentioned we have many examples of good universal healthcare systems while literally ZERO examples of good for profit healthcare systems, and it isn't for lack of trying LMFAO!

Pharma companies are charging the absurd prices for their medicines . Finding medicine is research field and money need to be paid for research but why the common medicine is also seeing price rise?

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/12/senate-panel-asks-cvs-and-other-middlemen-to-testify-about-drug-prices.html

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/09/cvs-cigna-humana-blame-big-pharma-for-high-drug-prices-in-senate-hearing.html

Govt. is aware of problem and they called bigshot pharma and they blamed drug makers. I guess it will go in circle until we find a solution.

A sad tragedy.

Unfortunately we cannot predict the earthquakes but we can learn what should we do in earthquake and to prepare ourselves for the earthquake.
