It has a ripple effect and also affects alternative currencies which have a good project.
The bull run invited in lots of scams and devs looking for quick profits, and this drove lots of potential investors away from ICOs and altcoins, this makes it difficult for new projects to raise funds and build on projects, as the crowd of potential investors have thinned considerably.

But to your question, yes poorly executed projects would fail to survive a bear market, and only already existing projects which an actual use case and relevance would.

A recession doesn't just lead to the devaluation of currencies, it generally results in shortage and slow economic growth, this would reduce the amount of money in circulation, ans would ultimately have a negative effect on every sector.
However if trades can push the price of BTC up, it could easily lead to FOMO in the midst of all the chaos and could positively impact the Bitcoin. This would like be a short term effect.

Signal groups in a way, function similarly to pump and dump groups. And at the top of the pecking order is the creators of those groups. They point the direction their followers should trade in and have a head start to take position and profit from the trades. It's never a good suggestion to follow the trading advice of someone else, especially if you plan on being a long-term trader.

When Paris asked for VAR it was given to them by the referee and it was correct to void the goal however when Real scored a regular goal because Benzema didn’t touch the ball the VAR was not given to Real.I am not saying Paris did not deserve to win they played better than Real all the time but I want to point out we have still flaws in the system.

Firstly, clubs do not ask for VAR, it stands for video assistant referee, and there are officials who follow the game from a monitor and decide to act when the referee appears to make a clear error (only applies in game changing situations).
Benzema may not have touched the ball, but he arguably was interfering with play by blocking the keepers line of vision.
5146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: September 19, 2019, 04:04:14 PM
I will bet and take Southampton in this match.

If I am forced to lean either way, I would go in the opposite direction and choose Bournemouth to win the match. Both teams are coming off the back of victories, Bournemouth were very impressive against Everton, especially defensively.
The home crowd would have an effect, but Bournemouth should be sharper in the final third.
5147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: September 19, 2019, 12:06:55 PM
One fixture which I'm very interested in, is Bournemouth - Southampton. It's very difficult to predict (as all premier league matches), and I'd be going with shared points by both teams. Bournemouth are in a good form and a victory would take them to second position on the log, but Southampton can always hurt any opponent, possibly a 1-all draw
5148  Other / Meta / Re: The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days on: September 19, 2019, 12:02:18 PM
I read a lot of qq about merit system and that is impossible to rank nowadays, but this list shows  it otherwise.

It became more difficult to rank up after the dust from the merit system implementation died down. But, it's not impossible, you've earned almost half the merit requirement for full member rank, before getting the required activity for member rank (you would in the next activity window). At this pace, you'd be climbing higher ranks very quickly.

P.S; good work in the scam accusation section.

I was expecting lots of goals from the PSG - Madrid fixture, but I'm not so sure on that now, may just back the French side to grab all three points.

I was right that PSG would come away with the victory. And it was quite an impressive one, with notable absentees on both sides, Neymar, Mbappe, Cavani, Ramos, and the current balloon d'or holder Modric, all didn't feature in tonight's game.
There were lots of goals, although they all came from the home side, with Di Maria hurting his former employees.

I just don't understand why referee didn't gave penalty when Juve player touched ball with hand.

It's not a foul anytime the ball touches an outfield players hands, the rules are meant to be interpreted accordingly. In my opinion, that's was not a pen.
5150  Other / Meta / Re: Posts about things that belong in multiple places. Should there be a way to link on: September 18, 2019, 09:43:36 PM
Should there be an "approved standard" way for someone to post, a link from one board to another to say, "this is important here / but it's also important there go to this post to discuss more"

I don't know about an "approved standard", but put can manually include links of similar posts to yours which is in another thread, if you feel the discussions would be more appropriate there. This would redirect those who visit your board to the other.
But as you said;
I think that where I have it is better, but I do see the argument for having it under service discussion.

You feel your post is in the more appropriate section, then this would need the other user to redirect.
I doubt the moderators would take action on this, there are usually sufficient boards to cater for different kinds of posts
5151  Other / Meta / Re: On Post Bursting and Other Facets of the Term on: September 18, 2019, 04:51:15 PM
Post bursting is not a problem until they are on topic and making some relevant content to the discussion but likely others said most campaign managers against the post bursting since its kind of activity to finish the post quota to get rewards.

Somewhat, post bursting is not the problem, most campaign managers believe that you should take out your time to read a post before replying to it, majority of posts made already have discussions going on in the thread, so a user should take out time to read and ensure their contributions is relevant.

Same way we have a cool down time for merits awarding, searches and reports. All this measures prevents abuse of the system. (Or errors of double spending, in the case of merits).
5152  Other / Meta / Re: The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days on: September 18, 2019, 04:42:49 PM
So: here it is Smiley

Well, that waa quick and also a very impressive work.
It's also interesting to see users who have gotten positive trust despite the duration of time they have been registered for.

I can do weekly updates if desired.

I would surely desire to see that, I can not speak for other members though. Highlighting the exploits of good, low ranked posters seems like a good way to encourage them.
5153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: France: We can't allow Facebook's Libra in Europe on: September 18, 2019, 08:45:16 AM
In the end, it all comes down to information. Information on individuals has become a very huge market since the turn of the millennium, and the more personal the information, the better.

With libra coin, Facebook cooperation would have lost of data on users (much more than they already do), and user privacy would be major concern. The government do not want this kind of data, except they are the ones controlling it.
5154  Other / Meta / Re: [TOP-200] Members who support newbies - Thanks! on: September 18, 2019, 08:18:31 AM
I agree with the second part of what you wrote, but I can't bring myself to lower my standards that much when it comes to low-ranked members.  While not all of them are spammers, I do think that the vast majority of their posts are of very low quality and are made primarily for bounties or signature campaigns, which has been the case for years now.

Only a handful of bounties accept newbies for signature campaigns and a much lesser number than that are worthwhile.
Imo, a user should at least get to member rank before engaging in signature campaigns. It should not take a committed poster too long to get the requirements.
I also generally lower my meriting standards when considering posts made by newbies.

Could I suggest that in addition to the list of member sho most support newbies, we could make a list of newbies who received the most merits in a month, or just the top receiver. This would help users looking for newbies to merits and would hasten the ranking up of deserving users.
5155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: September 18, 2019, 07:45:43 AM
I don't usually play safe just like last night putting my money on over/under goals with low odds .. guess the result is that i lost them all .

The matches which promised lost of goals on paper last night, ended up disappointing, producing little or none.
That's the unpredictability of football.
Salzburg were the surprise package with 5 first half goals.

I was expecting lots of goals from the PSG - Madrid fixture, but I'm not so sure on that now, may just back the French side to grab all three points.
5156  Economy / Gambling / Re: BSpin.io | Bitcoin Casino | Instant deposits | Slots, Games and Lottery on: September 16, 2019, 07:22:23 AM
The minimum withdrawal is a little too high and I had to deposit bitcoins in to be able to pull the funds I had out. It looks like a strategy to encourage or coerce gamblers to reinvest their funds in order to grow their profits.

The zero coat of withdrawal is quite commendable and would encourage more visitors. This is a policy I hope most other sites can adopt.
5157  Other / Meta / Re: Is Satoshi dead? Will the inner-gang come forward? on: September 15, 2019, 05:40:32 PM
I'm theorizing that Satoshi was killed fairly recently (in the last 3 months).

We would have to reconsider what a theory is at this point. You would need to submit a little more relevant observations, for this to even be an educated guess.
5158  Other / Meta / Re: [REPORT] Fake Conversations Alerts on: September 15, 2019, 05:27:26 PM
If the scammer is posting some suspicious links then you can report him to the mods /he can even get banned for this/ but that's all.

Whether or not the scammer gets banned, any reply which contains suspicious links should be deleted on sight, or once the attention of a moderator is called upon, through reports. Cause AFAIK, the newbie warning sign is shown for only threads created by the accused user and not replies on other threads. This should be a measure to protect newbies in the forum.

A ban would be decided on the discretion of the moderator, considering the possibilities, such as the account being hacked or a user inadvertently promoting a malicious site.
5159  Economy / Economics / Re: INFLATION IN THE UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES on: September 13, 2019, 08:49:41 PM
...and they make sure that they extract as much raw resources as possible from these countries and then refine or manufacture goods from this raw material and then sell that at inflated prices back to those countries. <This offsets the import and exports between 1st world and 3rd world countries>

A clear case of this, would be my nation Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the highest producers of crude oil in the world, and yet do not have the resources to refine the amount needed for the nation and definitely can not independently export to other nations, despite having discovered petroleum over half a century ago.

Developing countries would need to begin to act independently inorder to boost their economiiand livelihoods of it's citizenry.
5160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 13, 2019, 08:09:46 PM
So in your opinion, is it likely that the current Coach will still survive? Because the problem is the Council with the club. If the problem is the Council, I don't understand to that extent. What I see is a coach who is unable to bring back Manchester United to compete with other big clubs in the EPL.

I didn't imply that he current coach will not be axed, it's very likely he would lose his job if Manchester United fail to achieve a minimum of 4th position this season or a league or cup trophy.
I was suggesting that at some point, the club needs to try fixing something else if constant rotation of managers and players is not getting the job done.
