The exact amount of BTC is known, so it's possible the have a little access, he has enough motivation to not divulge any other information and serve his prison time, before returning to his fortune.
It's also possible leave there's an insurance stashed away somewhere that hasn't come to light yet.

If the pliagarism was spotted and archived, it doesn't matter if the perpetrator tries to cover his/her tracks, the account would still be banned. It makes it even worse as it was obviously a deliberate act (though in reality, they all are).


Pliagarism, spreading Malwares and opening new accounts to cheating system I think are the only reasons for ban. The last (new accounts) gets nuked.
I do not support trolling, but understand this is an online platform, you need to grow a tough skin.

Bitcoin was designed to be decentralized and is, but there is no way to stop money from getting what it wants, and when you consider that over 50% of the entire bitcoin is owned by less than 1% of the entire bitcoin population, you might doubt that it actually is.

But BTC in contrast to fiat which is controlled by banks, is open source, transparent and neutral.
And with  more adoption it would easily resist manipulations.

If you say a spike in value of bitcoin comes after halving, that doesn't mean it only comes after the halving of the mining reward. And we have had upward movements in price at different, varied times.

Selling off at this current low price and abandoning bitcoin for over two years is not the best approach.
Or I should say, is not my best approach. Everyone has a different outlook of the market.

I do not think we should be overly worried about threads where the discussion has died down and no new replies are being made.
As we often have members say it's ideal to use the search button before making a post so as not to make a repetitive topic. So locking such threads would be counterproductive in my opinion, and users would have to make new topics to discuss the same issues.

The real concern are the threads which gets comments regularly with the same replies twisted in different ways.

The issue of locking threads is not a straight case, and it's up for debate when a post should be locked.

Bitcoin trading or investment is not something anyone dabbles into and before investing money you should have a plan and contingency plans in case the market doesn't react as you predicted.

There are available data and information on the forum which can aid to decide what to do in the current situation. But people generally refrain from giving trading or investment advises.
Do your research.

I think we should never trust enough to let down our guard. Of course people have varying degrees of skepticism. And it's not a right or wrong scenario.
If you trust someone eniugbto not need an escrow you could be right, and if you don't you could also be right.

It's all a personal decision and should be unrelated to the forum. As the trust system is unregulated. It is not a recommendations made by Bitcointalk.
We are all responsible for ourselves here.

Considering the 1 : 1 ration of BCHABC that was released to BCH holders (now BCHSV) if you were to combine the worth peer coin on the market now, it's not worth as much as BCH was per token. So people are not selling their altcoins to buy them.
And the BCH saga is not sufficient enough to bring down the price of bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market.
I'd take @franky1's explanation of cheaper mining costs.

Some would argue that math is a skill that needs to be learnt and perfected.
And I didn't promote it, just have an opinion on the information available to me.
You are the one disputing what you seem to understand very little of.
I do not know all about technical analysis. But I believe most human actions are the same to similar situations and this could leave a pattern that can be followed and analysed.

If much rather the trust ratings of Scam exposers be improved and they be given more positive ratings. This for me is more important than merits.
But not everyone has the time or skill to check on their scam accusations and with the low tolerance for altcoins and ICOs most just don't care.

I strongly disagree that technical analysis is nonsense and works based on probability with no actual basis.
I know traders which have achieved great successes using technical analysis based on their ability to correctly read charts and draw patterns.
It is a skill and like all others needs to be learned and perfected.

Lending now I don't believe is as profitable as it used to be.
It is a scheme where you lend BTC to someone and they give you a collateral, probably a Bitcointalk account or anything else of value.
And after a fixed date they either way you have your Bitcoin with interest or you now own the collateral.
The problem is people hardly pay back and with market volatility the worth is always fluctuating.
Best to hodl your bitcoins.

Not at all. Considering that the right thought is actually similar.
But it's not a coincidence that with the vast options in vocabulary you used the exact same words (with a few tweaks).
It's obvious pliagarism. And is a clear and shut case.

If we're to go by that definition am sure lots of ICOs would match that exact definition and get thrown in as securities.
Even Bitcoin and ethereum which have been classified not to be can be viewed in different lights.

ICO scam is not a black and white case. And this I don't believe is a credible assumption that a project is or isn't a scam.

It is not going to be done. Bitcoin does not want to with the banks protocol, it is decentralized.
And you can't simply make a suggestion on this platform and expect it to be acted on by anyone.
And there is no point debating over the identity of Satoshi.

When you consider that Bitcoin was not always so expensive as it is now, it would be a matter of fortitude to hodl to the different market movements to get to this point
Of course investors with deep pockets also bought at the high prices.


Why would they reveal the identity of a trader you anyone, except for legal reasons.
There is no real relevant content in this post.

It's useful for beginners everyone interested in cryotocurrency to study about the subject of their interest.
This is a discussion forum, where people bring relevant topics to the cryotocurrency world for the community to deliberate over. And not information that can be easily gotten through a simple search.

Agreeably most relevant topics has been brought to already, so feel free to jump into any discussion and contribute or have relevant topics if you are going to start a discussion.

Of course when a user makes a quality post you actually expect reward for it (and more often than not you get it as we have source and members willing to give it out)
But I believe your post should be reason enough for a user to merit you, without actually asking for credit.

I also don't consider this merit begging though.
Posters who ask for merits as the whole content of the post best fits the description.

Well since it's that easy to spot you could try avoinding clicking on them, as you have no interest.
Also you could report the post to the moderators to have it loved to the appropriate board.
And you could also put a regular poster of such ICO announcement threads on your ignore list

I think you should reply on this thread Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images
There you would probably get more apt responses as it is directly connected to Copper membership details.

It's probably a bug cause I can see your signature on your profile. And newbies are not allowed to wear signatures.
Do you encounter any of the typical newbie restrictions?
