Making +1% daily will gain you more than +30% within a month because your deposit will expand every day and hence the interest will increase. Yes, such profit can be obtained on crypto-exchange markets. You don't need to focus on evenly trading. For example, make +2% on the first day and don't trade on the second day then repeat this scheme. Don't buy coins at high levels and try to buy a dip.

People have always been rather interested in acquiring wealth. They do this at the expense of other people's progress. They go as far as cheating their society or community just to acquire wealth. Remember, everything is vanity. When you are gone, you are done. Endeavor to live your life well so that you will be remembered for the good things you did.

Well, once one has acquired enough wealth, they can utilise their funds to accelerate progress on a variety of areas, i.e. technology, fighting poverty, hunger, thirst, etc.

This is a good point. If someone acquired enough wealth, he/she can spend this money for doing a good things. Maybe he/she will make boon or invest in the new technologies to speed up the technical progress, et cetera. Not everything is vanity. I think that much wealth in a kind hands is a good thing. Most of people want to be remembered as a good persons but it depends on their actions.
23  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Early BTC adopters still hodling? on: August 18, 2018, 11:23:37 PM
I think these people were just having fun of their money and not having serious target on for the assets they had. Most of them were panic sellers and day traders who used to play buy and sell during those green days of btc. Good thing for those who are silent btc hodlers, still keep their btc grow even if it's not gaining that fast. Patience is their strategy and nothing else, because if they will follow the foot steps of those weak handed people nothing will happen and situations will become worst at all.

I guess the most of those who dabbled with Bitcoin in early times have already sold their bought/mined coins for about 2000$ in March of 2017 when the first pump came to the crypto-exchange markets. Now the huge piece of BTC is in the hands of those investors who want to manipulate the price of Bitcoin. Of course, some early BTC adopters still keep their private keys on the hard drives or USB-sticks in encrypted format but I think they are the minority of the Bitcoin owners.
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH Is going to hit 200 USD? on: August 13, 2018, 11:52:55 PM
The price of the coin doesnt tell us about its quality. Yes, 95% of altcoins are garbage, but not Ethereum. Just cool your ass and buy more because ETH price will grow immediately!

It would be nice. I agree with you that Ethereum is a good crypto-currency and not a garbage but it seems its price is going down to 200 USD indeed (now -11%, 285 USD). Probably some of the Ethereum creators who own a lot of ETHs decided to sell their coins for a fiat money, or we see the game of the large investors on the crypto-exchange markets. Volatility of Ethereum and its tokens is so high. I think the current levels are attractive for buying ETH.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do not panic on: August 03, 2018, 07:43:17 AM
How can investors stay calm when the prices of their crypto-currencies are falling down to -10%? I think it's impossible. I see that currently some people are in panic and selling their altcoins and tokens in order to buy Bitcoin but it is not enough to support BTC because the downside trend of the crypto-exchange market is very strong.
26  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Be calm when the market falls on: August 03, 2018, 07:31:04 AM
I hope that the fall of the market in the last few days will not be long and soon there will be a flowering of the cryptocurrency. Only hold position.
I think that the market is going down sharply so investors should be calm and look at this market to be able to go along with it. Always have a backup plan to be prepared for bad situations.

A bad situation is already here. Now Bitcoin is falling down by -5%, altcoins and tokens are being decreased to 5-10%, some of them have been crashed down to -20%. I guess that BTC is the most stable crypto-currency for holding. I don't mean the gaining a profit, just for reducing a losses and saving a funds.
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why KYC is important? on: July 25, 2018, 09:25:49 PM
Although the KYC slows down the evolving of the crypto-currency world, it is important to be able to prevent a money laundering. It seems the investors have no problems with the fulfilling these norms. But the ICO teams might be unreliable and inadvertently loose the personal data they received. This is a disadvantage of the KYC procedure.
28  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy This Dip or Wait ? on: July 25, 2018, 09:01:08 PM
you can see btc bounced back and currently trading around 8k plus.yes still its right time to buy some strong altcoin like eth ,ltc,zec,etc ,trx and some and definately bitcoin is in the super buy range.

Nobody knows whether altcoins will grow or not. The dominance of Bitcoin has increased from 35% up to 46%. Currently the demand for other crypto-currencies is low. I guess Bitcoin will go on rising relative to Ethereum, Litecoin, etc. The large investors decided to aim exactly on Bitcoin, and I think they will pump BTC again.
29  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I CHOSE BITCOIN INVESTMENT OVER BANK INVESTMENT on: July 25, 2018, 08:45:48 PM
Compared with traditional finance, the advantage of Bitcoin is very obvious. It is a tool to demonstrate future revolutionary technological innovation.
BTC has risks as well as high profits. The deposit interest of commercial banks is very low compared to the profits of BTC!
Actually both has the risks and advantages when we choose bitcoin or investment in bank. Investing in bank is indeed secured but too small return of interest. While investing in bitcoin can gives a totally a great chance to earned big when it comes to price we could also make our btc secured in the wallet.

I very much agree. Bank investments are arguably more secure but with very small returns over long periods as compared to crypto which depending on the market can either put you at a loss or a profit. But putting all in one is a risk, which I guess you was willing to take.

In most of the cases the large respectable banks don't give many percents for interest deposit. The small banks can take a long-term loan from you for a significant amount of interest, but they can crash or their working license might be invalidated. So the small bank investments are risky too. Bitcoin is a good asset to invest in, but I advice to diversify your funds between crypto-currencies and fiat-currencies and a shares.
30  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Symbol of blockchain on: July 16, 2018, 01:25:33 AM
I think the blockchain picture should not show a cycle, i.e. you should reflect the movement from the beginning to infinity, not a cycle

I agree with you. Blockchain should be represented as a line or a curve, because each block is connected to the previous block through the hash, but the first (genesis) block isn't connected to any block.
31  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Really possible to send money anonymously through Bitcoin? on: July 16, 2018, 01:11:15 AM
There are also p2p exchanges that can be done to purchase btc.

In order to break the link between wallets, there are mixers and anonymous crypto currencies...  Or buying coinbase rewards from miners.

You're right. Bitcoin transactions are transparent and can be traced easily. Coin mixers might hide a receiver of funds, but it is quite expensive due to the high fees for each transaction. I think the best way is to buy some anonymous crypto-currencies. Their structure, blockchain and algorithm are designed exactly for private payments. Then the receiver will sell these crypto-currencies and buy Bitcoin.
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Switch from Windows to Linux on: July 07, 2018, 01:21:51 AM
I m really struggling with virtual box and Ubuntu, is it good for me switch into Linux os rather than window

Yes, Virtual machine eat up a huge chunk of RAM, therefore MS Windows work more slow. As mentioned above do not use Windows 10, 9, 8 and 7 with a telemetry updates. Of course, you should install the latest version of Ubuntu on your computer.

In any case beware of malware. Nowadays the large number of viruses are created for this famous build of Linux. They steal the private keys of crypto-currencies, transfer them to their hive and even encrypt the files on the disks. You need to administrate the user rights policy correctly.
33  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are there any buy and sell order statistics? on: July 07, 2018, 12:39:31 AM
Is there any place where I can find the number of orders that were executed by buying or selling? I wonder if at one point people are looking for the order that is in the purchase book or that is in the sales book.

You can see all orders that were executed by buying or selling on any decentralized exchange. The list of the links to every trading transaction is shown there. But that's concerned to Ethereum or other crypto-currency of such kind, not to Bitcoin.
34  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: SAFE TRADING METHOD on: June 25, 2018, 10:57:59 PM
Sadly, there is no way to make a safe trading without any risks at all, so do not risk the money that you can not afford to lose (so what you have said, can not be done)

Yes, the safe trading a crypto-currencies is almost impossible, because the markets are volatile. Of course, if you invest small chunk of your wealth, you ain't wary about losses, and you won't be distressed a lot in any case. But I can't call this trading method a safe. It's just easier trading way in a psychology manner.
35  Economy / Economics / Re: Why all people moan about the price of bitcoin? on: June 25, 2018, 10:34:16 PM
Thank you for making this thread Cheesy So many people believe in crypto, and supports it with its fiat that there is no chance for the crypto world to be crushed by this crazy attempts and falls on the market. Yes, now it's not the great time, but hey - this is bitcoin and whole crypto market we are talking about! Any currency is strong only how many people support it. I think we have a chance  Wink
A lot of people they said that they are in favor of bitcoin and they support it but when the time comes that market crushes they tend to panic, they don't know the real meaning of support is, if they really do supporting bitcoin they should not act like that.

Lol, I think they support their investment fund, not bitcoin, in fact,  I think 70% of the crypto-currencies investors even don't know what is the smart contract, how the blockchain working,... they just care about "when will bitcoin go to moon?" "is this the bottom price of ETH?", "should I cut loss?"...  

The most of people want to make profits trading crypto-currencies, and the holders who bought some coins desire for the price increasing. This is a normal and sane behavior. The large investors who manipulate the prices pay attention to the moods of the crowd. The moaning at the forums and social networks means that the bitcoins or other crypto-currency are in a weak hands, and these holders will sell their coins soon. They are waiting to buy Bitcoin for a cheap price.
36  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will rise from now until the end of the year? on: June 25, 2018, 09:56:33 PM
I guess the large investors and other manipulators will try to decrease the price of Bitcoin more low, even down to $5500. Probably the most nervous holders will sell their coins. And after this summer the crypto-exchange markets will start to grow slowly. But I think the resistance level will be $9500. Bitcoin will be vary in this price area.

This means I am late to the party. One can compensate this with more activity now and improving the quality of posts here. But even the people registering now will have advantages in future. Both this forum and crypto have a long way to go.

I guess the user activity is still worthy, therefore you better to post a messages at least every two weeks. I looked at your profile. You started posting at January 24, 2018, but you already missed 7 activity intervals. I decided to show the BitcoinTalk activity update times till 2019 year here.

Don't miss these intervals to increase your activity. And of course, earn merits to rank up.

Excellent post and awesome stats!!

Thank you!


But I get a bit disappointed with myself...

I actually registered in the Sr. Member potential date! April 17, 2017
But only started posting in July 27,2017

Merits are hard to get! I'm comforted with my Full Member now.

Your situation is almost similar to the situation of LTU_btc mentioned above. You didn't post any message for a long time after registration, therefore you had no enough activity at January 24, 2018 to receive 250 free merits.

I think you missed the fact that Unlucky Legendary users received 1000 merits, even though they were still Hero Members.
I didn't know about that. Thanks for the notice. It seems that unlucky Legendaries don't exist if we are saying about the distribution of a free merits at 24 January, 2018.
Here's an example of an Unlucky Legendary receiving 1000 merits: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=82566

Indeed. This user received 1000 free merits, although he is still a Hero Member.
Code:
Activity: 817
Merit: 1005
Position: Hero Member
Date Registered: February 23, 2013, 12:38:34 AM
    Thus, if a user had at least 775 activity at January 24, 2018, he/she received enough free merits to rank up to Legendary in the future.



I think you missed the fact that Unlucky Legendary users received 1000 merits, even though they were still Hero Members.
I signed up on Bitcointalk (or just started to post here) one week too late to become unlucky Hero Member with 1000 Merits :/

I looked at your profile. You are registered on BitcoinTalk at August 22, 2015, 09:21:13 PM. You could receive 1000 free merits, but you started posting at December 27, 2015, 10:29:36 PM.

  • 1) Potential unlucky Legendary needed to start posting before April 14, 2015, 11:13:20 AM.
  • 2) Potential lucky Legendary needed to start posting before December 22, 2015, 01:13:20 PM.

You didn't post any message for a four months after registration, therefore you had no enough activity at January 24, 2018, and as a result you received only 500 free merits. In any case, a Hero Member is considered a high rank too.

One thing to mention: You calculate 1 post per day for the users, but it's not the usual/average posting habit for the most of the users here.
Actually, a user had to post at least one message per one activity update interval and have enough total message count at 24 January, 2018.


I'm curious, why bounty spammers haven't found this thread yet to start complaining against the merit system ...
It is just an analysis. I think that the earliest users deserve of getting free merits.


Thank you very much for feedback!

Introduction


I was curious, when did a user need to register on BitcoinTalk to get free merits. I decided to create the spreadsheet representing a datetimes and activities.

Firstly, the BitcoinTalk user activity updates approximately every two weeks. Actually, the interval is slightly longer by 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Secondly, let say that the users post at least 7 messages each week. Thirdly, a Hero member should have a random activity 775-1030 to rank up to Legendary, so let call them a lucky (775) and unlucky (1030) Legendary.

The first column of the spreadsheet is the Unix time, the second column is the UTC time. The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eightth columns are the activity of a potential unlucky Legendary (1030), lucky Legendary (775), Hero Member, Senior Member, Full Member and Member respectively.

Here we go! Smiley
