1 - Newbie starts a topic - copy/paste content from bitcoin-related article + link (so no plagiarism), no own thoughts nor any other contribution. Is it treated as spam and should it be reported to mods, or is it allowed and we should just ignore it?

2 - Would you reward a Newbie with his 1st merit point, if you see a decent post of his and/or engagement in discussion, but his posting history is, in vast majority, bounty-campaign proof posts? Do you consider such people as spammers, or you just ignore campaign-report posts? After all, they don't pollute the forum and are contained in dedicated threads.

This means that you don't suggest exrates? You just came there to exchange your btx for bitcoin but I checked the few buy orders and its only few that follows who are bidding same as for CMC price. And for the other sell orders they just set the price for the desire price but as long as there is no taker it wouldn't be sold.

Good to see that you've taken out your money there. 6 hours is an annoying waiting time.

Any update about Exrates exchange? Cryptopia deposit and withdrawal is under maintenance I was planning to make an account in Bit-z and HitBTC to exchange BTX but I'm thinking twice if this 2 exchange site is safe or not.
I hope that you can give us update about your withdrawal history about Exrates exchange thanks.

In many cases the worst thing about developing countries is not that they don't have the money to pay people for their work, especially in public sector, but that the money is constantly being stolen by corrupt officials. All of us have seen the stories of millionaires from developing countries where most people are very poor. Those millionaires are, in fact, either former or current corrupt officials or their relatives. The only hope for countries like that lies in implementation of blockchain technology in the government sector. If the movement of all taxpayers' money was absolutely transparent it would be almost impossible to steal from the money.

You obviously see only one end of the stick or one side of the coin. Holding and hodlers as such wouldn't be a problem (strictly speaking, they still would be but for other reasons) if they never sold their coins. You evidently assume that they buy a bunch of coins and are never going to part with them. This is not the case. Well, some of them, especially early adopters and true believers are in fact waiting for a second coming (of Satoshi Nakamoto, let me guess) when they will be able to exchange their coins directly for real goods.

But this is not the case with the total majority of hodlers, which are ultimately going to sell their stashes for fiat as they hope to book handsome profits one day. And this part of the picture is the one you are so innocently missing as when they sell they sell it hard.

This weeks payments have been sent out! Thank you all for the support as we are closing in on the final week of this campaign

Thanks for the well wishes, I'm feeling much better today.

Yes, some of the section where there are multiple merit deserving posts and quality contents are just very low in the list.

I think this sections should have more merit circulation than meta
1. Bitcoin Discussion
2. Alt-coin Discussion
3. Development and technical discussion

I see and observe recently that many ICOs are below the ICO price when they touch the exchange. Do you think it's a smart step to wait for an exchange and buy the tokens you want?

As we can see each and every transaction for bitcoin is publicly registered to the blockchain where in all of us have access, so I am just thinking if anonymity or providing privacy will be the next move for bitcoin. Just my thoughts, you can add yours here and let's discuss it.

So many people are interested in amassing wealth without giving a dime to the less privilege around them, yet they will still be among the first to criticize the government in its failure to eradicate hunger and poverty in the country. You should also know that the duty of eradicating poverty must not be left to the government alone. You must also contribute your quota.
 
If you are lucky to be wealthy, you should see it as a social responsibility to help the less privileged people in the society. If I may ask, do you feel comfortable driving past several beggars on the street when you have billions of money in your account that you or your entire family may not be able to exhaust in the next 100 years?
 
Think about this seriously. With the so much money in the world, poverty can greatly be reduced if not totally eradicated.
 
All that is necessary is the distribution of this wealth.

There is enough to go round.    

I have been thinking the same thing, Bitcoin has bounced off of the low $6k range so many times this year, seems to be very strong support at those levels. Hopefully this support holds, but if it breaks we potentially could see a much longer bear market. I'm honestly thinking the SEC decision on sept 30 for the Vaneck ETF will play a huge role in whether or not the market will be bullish or bearish over the next year.

How do you select what you invest your precious satoshi's in?

Free signals? Paid signals? Own TA? Depth charts? Pure luck? Acting on regular volatility?

Personally, my tipple of choice is depth charts. Would be happy to debate the relative merits and hear how other people make it work for them.

How do you protect against dumps (Bart!)? How do you pick the coins you want to analyse? Are you successful?

What is your opinion on the current market? Good day coming soon For traders because of major coins are in oversold position. Just need some good news. It's time to buy  Ethereum, Bitcoin and others coin

That means, that i need to buy merit, just to rank up?

I been doing a lot of post, but never had a merit.

What should i do?
