You should add a third kind. They only focus on Bitcoin and consider every other coin to be shitcoins or a best not worth investing in, and that includes even coins which are in the top 5 or 10 on cointracking websites.

Scams are not regulated at all here. You however cannot advertise malwares on your signature.

I doubt he would ever. As long as there is a mixer to operate and run a signature on the forum it means it is active and legal. If such mixer experiences some issues and gets seized their signature campaign would stop automatically, but I don't think the admin would shut down a campaign for a project that is fully functional.

There would be instances where moving the stop loss would prevent your capital from being evaporated and there are also instances where leveraging would multiply your profits, it just depends on what end the trade falls in.

Emotions are not the problem, understanding of the market is. You can compare this to someone who is investing in bitcoin for the first time; they understand a bit of how it works and expect it to rise as indicated by history, but they panic when the price plummets or even dips a little and sell off. Same person few cycles in would not be bothered by such price action.

This is same with a trader, after years of trading and gaining experience you learn to control your emotions and decide when to act on it and when not to.

One can with some effort find those information by themselves, but it helps having a way to easily get a recap of what is going on in the crypto space.

This is the highlight of my earlier reply. In crypto, do not trust; verify. This includes not trusting anyone with investment advice and always doing your own research.

Or maybe because we are not aware if every single addition to the crypto world or the gender behind it, or maybe it is that such acts are acknowledged but you are not aware of when it was done.

You could recognize the act of anyone without bringing sentiment into it.

Or one could just avoid airdrops together. The security and privacy risk one is exposed to by trying out multiple airdrops is not worth the tokens they give out as rewards.
The time completing those tasks and creating different social accounts can be applied to some other endeavor which would be more rewarding.

You are right to think that way and Howeycoins was actually a promotional campaign on how scam projects operate. If you tried to make a purchase this is the message you get - https://www.investor.gov/ico-howeycoins

If it looks like a scam and smells like one, it most likely is one.

This is Bitcointalk forum. It already has a coin; Bitcoin.

Sure, in-depth Bitcoin knowledge is not needed if you only want to buy and sell for a profit. The basics would suffice for you and maybe a little extra bit to properly secure your wallet. Trying to learn things you have no interest in for the sake of it, like trading would be counter productive cause it would lead you to get overloaded with information.

This should not discourage anyone who really wants to learn the intricacies of Bitcoin, go ahead by all means. The process of gaining knowledge in one area could prove useful in that area and even other aspects as well, in this case it would help sharpen your understanding of how the financial market and money works.
Just try to pace yourself.


I would argue that running your own node and understanding of how multi-sig wallet works are not criteria for securing your bitcoins.
The first helps the decentralization of the network and your security, and the latter could add an extra layer of security if you know what you're doing, but a simple 1-of-1 would suffice for security as long as you keep to the basic rules.

As long as you can create a thread, you can move it, even as a newbie.
You either do not know how to move it or tried to move it after it had been moved here by a mod, in which case you would not be able to.

The option to 'move topic' is at the bottom left of any thread you create.

It was never a choice between bitcointalk or some other platform. I first was introduced to Bitcointalk and at that time had never been on any other crypto platform, I instantly found it to be one of the most useful forums; the more time I spent active here the more usefulness I found for btt.
• It has improved my knowledge of bitcoin a lot. I came it with zero background knowledge and reading through the threads and replies of more experienced members, I was able to learn a thing or two.
• I have been able to network with Bitcoin enthusiasts from around the world.
• All of the rich Bitcoin history you find around (10,000BTC for 2 pizzas or the famous 'HODL' reference) originated here on the forum.

Along the line, I have discovered some more crypto platforms and actually registered on some of them. Some have been terrible, some better than the others, but no one has come close to btt for me.

When you create a pay per post contest with no rules or criteria, you get a spam fest.

The whole premise of my advice was that if the OP plans to invest $10 as a one time capital, they should barely expect any profit on it no matter how high Bitcoin goes, but to show that they can get Bitcoin exposure with as little an amount as possible. You're not limited to buying whole bitcoins but can purchase tiny fractions.

I was actually referring to a P2P, decentralized exchange when I talked on securing in your wallet, in which case the bitcoins would have been directly transferred there by the seller, but thinking about it now, the transaction would still be too expensive for such a small amount of USD.

No one would object if you created a script to easily copy signature characters within the code tags. Managers would surely use it to announce their signature campaigns.

It's not a bad idea, but us not a necessity either, it would only take a couple of seconds to copy it on a PC and a less than a minute on movie if you're used to doing it.

Steps to start;

• Set up a wallet (for free),
• Create a back up,
• Find an exchange that allows a minimum investment lower than $10,
• Trade there and secure your sats in your wallet,
• Repeat the process when you get another $10.

Investing with money you do not own is a red line I don't think anyone should cross.

We have Bitcoin enthusiasts here who are very optimistic about it and its future, this does not mean we should get complacent and expect our savings are 100% guaranteed. This is similar with security, you might never have a security risk for years using your personal wallet, but you shouldn't take it for granted in the illusion that you are entirely secure.

Always be wary of your security and stay mindful when investing.

The Blockchain being a utility tool can be used in election processes to improve transparency and finality of the activity as well as the trust of the electorates. But it can only be as effective as the system implementing it; we cannot expect a corrupt government to implement a transparent umpire to oversee the election.

Do not expect blockchain to be used to prevent election malpractice in coubtries where it is prevalent, there are other means of improving transparency in different countries, but they are invariably rendered ineffective by the ruling government if it's corrupt.

It's great that you actually researched on any previous thread which has been made on the topic before making yours. That's one effort many thread posters do not put in and we have multiple repeat threads littered across the various boards.

Nice compilation too, I think my favorite is the first one I experienced which talked about KYC being required on the forum, it had the surprise factor cause I was not looking forwards to it at all, which I was in subsequent pranks I have seen.
I would like to see NFTs truly implemented on the forum.

If that data is publicly available information, it is not a violation for someone to try to access that data and use it.

Run your node over TOR for extra privacy.

I doubt that is possible on the SMF software and it's not a common situation for one to mistakenly send a report. You need to click two buttons to send a report, one after you click "report to moderator" and another when you click "submit" after writing a comment or not.
It's unlikely that many users would find themselves there and such an option would be seldom used.

You can see if you have an unhandled, good or bad reports when you try to submit a new one.
It's possible your reports are aggregated to give 100% accuracy.

Good thread you put together. I noticed this at the bottom page when I open any board, but it's possible many users have missed it so far. Locked and sticky threads seem easy enough to explain, but some of the others might not be too familiar.

"Locked Topics: Threads can be closed for a variety of reasons, depending on the OP"
This can also depend on the moderators who can lock a thread if it is running into a spam mega thread and the OP might have forgotten to monitor their thread.
