It could be by controlling the number of vaccines and a high demand from different countries around the world high chances that they could control too the market price of the vaccine in favor for themselves. This is not ideal though in these tryinh times of pandemic but we do not have choice if they will going to act like this for their self interest. Still saving humanity considered as business for them. It so sad but yeah this is still business for them to take care off.

Hopefully tha one day all will return back to normal and not like this.

I was enjoying to read the post of others on how did they become interest in cryptocurrency. I think I would like to share mine too so will grab this opportunity to be heard. This is only once in a lifetime activity to have this kind of unique way on expressing and be heard in the bitcointalk forum. This feel pretty good and here is my reply with the following questions.

1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?
Invited to join in this forum and start doing bounty business way back 2018 but it does not make good so chance my mind and instead I learn to do some quick research about cryptocurrency. This made me interest after Satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin as a solution to financial crisis way back in 2007. I was amazed how cryptocurrency works correct me if I am wrong that bitcoin works after you downloaded and install the bitcoin software which made you part of the bitcoin network. This describe as the peer to peer network system to which allows you to move funds by broadcasting transaction to bitcoin network and then a random computer (node) will accept the transaction and add it as a latest transaction to memory pool waiting to be mine by miners that created the blocks and add to blockchain. This somehow a unique idea that has been created and I think the people behind bitcoin are genius. This made me more interest to learn and had tried to make some bitcoin transaction right after having bitcoin client or bitcoin software.

Bitcoin is a unique digital currency as what others had mention that it could be exchange to other currencies (fiat or other cryptocurrencies), buy products and services, and could also be accepted as a form of investment. Still investors will consider risk because of its market price volatility.

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
I bought bitcoin as I see how things work and could earn investment. However at later part of 2018 I lost it selling afterwards due to emotional breakdown after bitcoin market crashes and as a newbie thinking that bitcoin will going to end. Now, I still invest in bitcoin but not that much and thankful to the experience I had during my losses. It made me think on how, when and what to buy not only bitcoin but other altcoins as well. Ripple and BCH was a good crypto to invest with due to its pump and dump scheme. I had experience having of these coins being pump and earn on it at the same time pulling out investment when market is good and buy back when market is bad. But it take some time before that it will going to happen like this time. I am still waiting on when bitcoin market crashes. LOL

3. How did you get on the forum?
I was invited by my friend who first knew about this forum and share what he earns in here through bounty hunting (Good Boy). However, he is not anymore active here because he had been busy from the moment that covid19 hit the world to which he is part of the front liner. I still admire that friend of my mine because he still able to earn in other ways like joining networking and now still share his profit and invited me as well but I know that he is doing networking and I do not like the way it works. Still the forum has a lot of sections and boards to explore. Reading and learning from those boards still my interest and did not come to my mind to leave the forum just like what my friend did for I am not exploring more about bitcoin and other altcoins as well.

4.1. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?
Scams, fraud people and phishing attacks to which drag bitcoin and other cryptocurrency on bad reputation. Aside from that news popping out regarding on hi jack exchanges, team manipulated network core in some of those Defi projects. Yet, cryptocurrency is still in the process of adaptation for I believe that this technology could bring something in the community. There are really great features in cryptocurrency and as what others had told regarding on its anonymity features and decentralized in manner like storing funds where one could do whatever he wanted on the funds anytime without using third party services like the banks.

Probably, another thing that made prevent mass adoption are those government system especially to the government officials. If this cryptocurrency will be integrated in their system especially in financial aspect then all will be transparent and they could have hard time to make any corruptions activity because all transactions will be put to blockchain and all transactions will be recorded. Once there is suspected transaction then it could be visibly seen and could be investigated.

4.2. How do you think mass advertising of gambling projects has a positive effect on the development of the forum or harms the community?
It brings positive development in the forum. I do not exactly know on how much gambling sites had earn but I think their profit could reach up to millions of dollars in just a single platform. This will bring something good in the forum especially the gamblers to make forum lively due to their activities. We know that they had their own boards and that will not compromise other boards that are not interested in gambling.

Mostly gambling sites offers ads and bounty campaign. This will allow bounty hunters to earn more on those promotional activities that pays BTC.

4.3. How do you consider whether 2-3 years of experience in cryptocurrency is enough to successfully invest or does an investor need to receive special education?
Yes, that is already an ample time of a user to observe the market price movement of the cryptocurrency and to be able to understand on how, when and what cryptocurrency to buy. Not only a member could be a successful investor but also can even manage to put up business integrating cryptocurrency as an option for payment. It will all depend to the member's interest on learning about cryptocurrency.


5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?
Not really, I do believe that those gambling signature ads had made a positive impact in the forum and to the bounty hunters that promoted those project earning some BTC. In my opinion it does not harm the forum instead it is the opposite to where it could make forum more active with bounty hunters participation.

The merit system had been also effective making other members to become effective and efficient in making post to receive merits that has been a motivation to get along with in the forum. Merits could be hard to earn from other members of the forum but still it is possible for them to earn they just need to know on how to become helpful in the forum. I myself is the proof that I was once a shit poster but now I am more concern about the forum and to check every time I post that should be meaningful as part of participating an active discussion.

6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?
Merit system, cryptocurrency news, speculations, gambling section especially the discussion about the NBA ongoing finals (Lakers Vs. Miami), Campaign with a cause started by some users like @cabalism13 and @CryptopreneurBrainboss.

Well, there are many helpful users nowadays and are active in posting at beginners and help section. However, I was thinking about @jetcash on his side regarding on merit grabbing post and the spammers.

7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?
Designate assistant section moderators and staff, merit source and add voluntary team that will help identify scam related projects in the promotional activities.


8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?
Not, doing this trading or investing in projects. I am more interested in earning BTC and get more of it if possible because in the near future bitcoin will become one of the best digital currency in the world. This is what I have been foreseeing in regards to cryptocurrency and that bitcoin will be adapted for community consumption. And if that time comes I do hope I had some bitcoin in my digital wallets.


9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?
Big loss, when I was newbie I invested in bitcoin and then losing it on 2019 when bitcoin market is crashing. sighs, still not getting some of it but I think I am positive that over a period of time with the way I am investing in bitcoin and collecting of it then I think I could overcome losses over the period of time. Hopeful!

Big profit, yeah I remember that time that I was promoting ICO projects and was able to earn from the tokens being sold. I think that was more or less 4 ETH. I think that value of ETH before is good already for me because I have low salary earnings in my current job until now! huhuhu

10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?
At first I was impress and it even impress more when some of the Defi Projects had been become HYIP, but same as with ICO projects the hackers had made a some ways to take advantage on the Defi projects and those are the manipulation of the core for them to withdraw money without getting notice. I do not really know but this info I get was base on the news that has been circulating recently about the Defi Projects.

11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?
Yes, Banks had stolen identity of their clients and that could be use in illegal activities by some banks personnel for their own interest. So bad right? But if there is a system that could do service like banks but does not require you to disclose your identity then that would definitely be better right?

So, identity is very important for us not to disclose because this can lead to hacking, phishing, and getting fraud by some people that has interest in getting of your funds. There are many modus operandi runs in the internet so we need all to be more careful and advise the family members not to believe directly every message they receive in their emails or sms or other platforms like social media.


12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?
Cryptocurrency investment for dummies, Kiana Danial
Blockchain revolution by Alex Topscott
Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper
The cryptotrader by Glenn Goodman
Crypto beginners Stephen Satoshi


13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?
1. Bitcoin
2. XRP
3. ETH
4. BCH


14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2020?
14K USD. I think that would be ideal market price for bitcoin. However, I am wishing for a market price. You know why I am hoping because I am selling already and would like to go over again. I am making a short term hold for bitcoins.

15. P.S. (Optional)
The forum has been one of the best cryptocurrency discussions. I think this interview uniquely started by @zasad is one far good move in order to get the status of of the members in regards to cryptocurrency and the forum. I do hope that with the questions above being made some members or users will be able to put up a data or statistics that could be relevant to the studies in the near future.

Payment receive in the Betnomi site. Looks like it will be a good way to bet in betnomi due to their user friendly site and at the same time there are many options to bet like Casino or sports betting. WoW! all in one platform.

Thanks to Betnomi, bitcointalkforum and @yahoo62278 - Bounty Manager.

Just for 30 USD and get scam and left the forum. What a waste of time growing accounts and then just earning by scamming. Anyway, the best thing is that these users should get red trust not ban probably so that he can't join  any bounty projects and people will be wary on users with red trust. This is the way now we can see to exercise the use of red trust from DT members.

Later on members of the forum will be able to distinguish trustworthy or not members here in the forum base on the red trust they had.

Yeah it looks surprising to see that bitcoin always going strong not to mention those times or months that bitcoin going ATH like in the year 2017. I was thinking thay it could do better on 2018 and 2019 but I was upset though now bitcoin has able to recover. And as mention earlier that I was surprise even bitcoin is so volatile seeing how prices went up over the period of time.

Well, i am wishing to get another year of bitcoin market price increase in the month of october next year 2021.Well going to find and see.

Luis could make a change in the team which he's joining and it could be more advantage if he can get another support of a good player too in football. Seeing his record as a striker and able to win 6 trophies in different leaue and had even make 400+ career goals is an exemplary achievement that a football player could make.

Yeah I agree with you to wait and see what will going to happen with Messi if he will going to join in other team the atletico madrid. Probably Barcelona will going to taste their own medicine and will make regrets for letting this to happen.

Jimmy buttler does not really manage to be carrying his team. His teammates are competitive even if some of them are still rookie. Besides he is not the one carrying the team finals because Goran dragic could make 30+  points in their team to win. It was not only buttler that make the team to play in the finals.

Probably it will still be James or it could also be Davis or Giannes for making always the team appearance in play offs and could carry a team to win in the play off series just like what James did during the earlier days of his career.

But in my opinion the MVP of this season is James for always making team to play in Finals for consecutive years. He always letting a team carry with his athletic body, skills and good shooting in the basket that could change the course of the game.

Most likely machines are being tested before it will be put to use and sometimes get sealed so that all coulr not make an idea that the machine could be set up or being manipulated. This is why I think if there are unlicensed machine that being played it will be subject for violating the rules ad regulations set by the third party especially the government. And if that is the case the casino will be facing huge penalties to which think they afraid to get it with unless they know how to negotiate the authority making deals under the table. This is some sort of corruption but actually it did happen here in our place.

Yes, Knowledge is power and that will be a lot of help when betting. I agree that the best tool to decide in betting is knowlege though it may not going to work most of the time but at least you can have an advantage.

Most likely having a knowledge in the bet will likely give you more insights on how, why and when to bet. However, it will still not a guarantee to win in the bet. Being lucky is more important key to win at all. LOL

I think Butler can shoot well but think of the defense of the Lakers surely it had not been optimized. They clearly just toying the Miami heat for Davis, Lebron and Rondo is veteran in basket and they can always make some score in the last quarter that can lead up to 10 points and that would be difficult to win. I was also thinking herro to step up in the game but no, He can't manage to shoot well.in this championship series. I do not know why but I think he just need more exposure in  basketball. He can somehow has the chance to become an asset in basketball together with Duncan.

In just next hours vitality and complexity scheduled for their match. I preferred the team Vitality in here because they shows good records basing from their past plays and they had already played a lot of games compared to complexity. Meaning their experience is a good weapon for them to win in the match. However, we could not underestimate the complexity here knowing that they got higher percentage of winning games compared to vitality so yeah i agree with you this will be a good match and enterraining for sure.

Okex is one of the best crypto exchange with good marketxap volume as per coinmarketcap.com which landed on rank 32 according to marketcap volume with 1.9 B $.

This is if you want to get a good exchange look for those exchange with volume for usually traders are in those kind of exchange and also usera will stick to a good exchange like binance.

Okex has been reviewed one of the best crypto exchange but if you will like to know more about it instead of reading the members review and their expectations you can instead try it foryourself or make your own research before engaging to a certain like this stuff.

In my opinion, coinmarketcap is better. I do always check crypto in coinmarketcap and I think other users as well.  Meaning more crypto users I guess are preferred coinmarketcap. As per coingecko, I still believe in their integrity for some instances when I make a quick search in google coingecko results are fast and always in the first few lines of the result of search. They too can provide project tokens that are not even listed in an exchange meaning that they got a volume of information of cryptocurrency more than the coinmarketcap.

This is the first time I have read about NFT and made a quick search using google search engine and found this on https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/nonfungible-tokens/
Another type of projects will then be created and will be successful. Hopefully we can see that this can make a good reputation and difference not like the ICO, STO, EIO and Defi project though some of them are quite successful. I am excited to see which project will grow and will become successful. Any NFT project to suggest or planning to make a promotion?

They should back up their digital Yuan currency with real fiat currency. However, we cannot deny the fact also that China is one of the powerful countries in the world to which they can get even with other powerful country like the USA.

In these development we can say that China has gone far already compared to other countries. However, I do not like their form of government which is communism where all people have in the same or common in terms of status of living. Though we are poor here in our place and our country too it is a good opportunity to get the chance of doing opportunity to get rich. Sad to say that our country has becoming a capitalist where rich people dominate in business leaving small business here in our local being bought by them planning to monopolize all the business that has been introduce locally by the local business owner.

Base on my understanding is that betting on smaller amount of bets to different matches vs. betting huge in just few matches or shall we say betting all in one match like wishing to get a jackpot win.

I tend to chose the kind of betting to which I could done earlier. Most likely betting on a single match all in. But before I could chose to bet I make sure to analyze first my choice and why is it that I am going to bet for that choice. I also making a mindset that whatever result the bet was it will be alright because this is all about gambling and no way to dictate the result of the bet unless you own a mafia to which you can ask the team to let lose for that certain match. LOL

I can bet smaller bets on different matches but I am not going to excite always if I am going to win to which it will be expected that winning amount is also low in amount.

Which survey is it?

I agree with you that this is an exciting bet if you will going to make this a way of having excitement during the election process. Anyway, the best thing to do here is to make a platform or betting thread for this one and we will going to see which really between the two running candidates has the higher odds.

My bet will goes to Trump. My opinion is very simple and that is because Trump is an Incumbent official and has higher connections that he can use with his current positions.

LOL, It seems that heat could never have chances to win with lakers. Just take the scores differences in game 1 to game 2 and this current game. They can easily outscored the Miami and I guess they just give the game 3 for Miami to win. Now the record goes to 3-1 in favor to lakers. Next game I think this will be finish and that Lakers will going to celebrate their championship title.

For MVP, I think it is still Lebron. No team that Lebron couldn't carry to play offs and even championship game. This guy is very athletic with a good height and size. He played also quite good and all advantage is in Lebron already and that will get him another MVP title.

No bitcoin is enough of which using a p2p network and are decentralized unlike in banks that our identity is at stake while they can steal it for their interest. Aside from that they let our money deposited to lend it to someone and gets high interest in it and only few percent of interest will goes to the depositor. Sad but true this is also the reason that in 2007 there was a financial crisis happening after these banks do the form of abuse. And so Satoshi decided to make everything anonymous and decentralized through bitcoin. Bitcoin is the only legit digital currency for now and more than 50% of the reported marketcap volume is for bitcoin. However, other altcoins as well done the same and likely to wanted to get pass bitcoin market.

Sad but really cryptocurrency has a lot of  loopholes like this one. This Defi is just like an ICO project to which scammers are after and finding ways to get the money. Money is too hot for the eyes of the likes mention above. It so sad that cryptocurrency is one of the best digital currency among fiat currency and could be able to get a good reputation if only there are no abuses to made. However, we cannot dictate the people behind the scamming not to do the things they like the most. So now, we are still in the phase where community does not believe on cryptocurrency while we are making effort that cryptocurrency is one best options for doing transactions online with and fast and easy process.
