This is a very positive development, and would go a long way in reassuring citizens of Belarus of the legitimacy of bitcoin and selected alternative currencies.
Hopefully it's functioning would be an improvement to majority of the exchanges we have. And other countries follow the trail.
5623  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some people refuse to accept bitcoin? on: January 16, 2019, 05:21:47 PM
The author of this article believes that putting a small amount of currency you have into BTC can help you protect your wealth.

The reality is that bitcoin is currently being used as an investment option, and its value is prone to volatility, this does not protect wealth, its value constantly changes. This is it's limitation to mainstream adoption.

It is unadvisable at this point ro convert the entirety od your wealth to BTC or any digital asset. Only invest amounts you can afford to lose.
5624  Other / Meta / Re: Ask about account banned on: January 15, 2019, 05:36:02 PM
There is no list of banned users, you can check up on BPIP to know if an account has been auto banned, but it does not state the reason for the ban.
It would be easier to post the account link here and other users can scan through your post history for plagiarism which is the top reason for permanent bans.

Deleting your post is not a ban able offense, nor is it an offence, but it's sometimes hints of accounts changing hands through sake or hacks.
5625  Economy / Speculation / Re: Federal Reserve Blames Altcoins for Dragging Down the Bitcoin Price on: January 15, 2019, 05:27:39 PM
   Consider the following thought experiment. A restaurant selling meals for $10 will happily accept payment in the form of one Hamilton bill ($10) or two Lincoln bills ($5). That is, the nominal exchange rate between Hamilton and Lincoln bills is 2:1. Now, suppose that the supply of Lincoln bills is increased but the supply of Hamilton bills remains the same. The exchange rate remains unaffected […] That is, the increase in the supply of Lincoln bills has led to a decline in the purchasing power of both Lincoln bills and Hamilton bills, even though the supply of Hamilton bills has remained fixed. Might an expansion in the supply of Altcoin have a similar depressing effect on the price of Bitcoin?

I do not agree with this postulation, it assumed that bitcoin and the growing number of altcoin all have the same utility and cabbe used interchangeable. This is not the reality, the vast majority of altcoins and barely accepted by the cryptocurrency community, and the top 20 altcoins hold a very large percentage of the entire cryptocurrency market cap.

The general advice is to do research, but all ICOs usually present promising projects which looks great on the surface. And if you base your research in the whitepaper and roadmap you are going to be viewing the same promise and prospects.

Many investors do not know how to dig below the surface for thinking unprinted. It's best to seek professional advice when considering a project or ICO.
5627  Economy / Speculation / Re: The market is looking boring 2019 on: January 14, 2019, 03:46:45 PM
I will keep holding it. There is no point in selling. I consider the money as lost.

Luckly Im not a "believer" and didnt put all my money into there.

It's wise to invest only amounts you can afford to lose, but considering it lost after investing shows an apathy towarads the investment.
It makes it easier, to handle losses of you are less attached emotionally. And also makes it easier make major decisions.

This is a good time to learn more about digital technology and explore the industry. This opens more opportunities to earn.

Is it a new feature that themos activated recent days?

Yes, it is a new feature. Using a PC or desktop it was possible to check the last time a post was edited, by hovering the mouse over the post time. However this was not possible using mobile version, so the update was introduced to allow mobile user track the editing of a post.

The link above provides lots of information on this
5629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't fell for FUD. Stand your ground bitcoiners! on: January 14, 2019, 03:10:56 PM
Newbies should never ware of both extremes associated with bitcoin investment.
The high negativity and FUD created to scare away new investors and holders to panic sales. And then there's the hype which suggests high rewards in a short time meant ti attract less experienced enthusiasts.
One with background knowledge would be little moved by speculations and negativity.
5630  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Caution!!! Do not buy accounts!!! on: January 13, 2019, 09:05:30 AM
Buying account is NOT against forum rules, but it could as well be as a sold account would likely be tagged if discovered.
There are some reasons to support that; the account coukd be hacked and the hacker would claim to have been bought. Or the account could be hacked and then put on sale.

If the account transition could be made more transparent, and public, maybe it could not be tagged.
But account sales is generally discouraged.

2. Review the feedback sent by people you're including/excluding. (You've mentioned this a little bit)

This is a good suggestion. Also retalliatory feedback should also be considered, mostly they are just out of spite from those tagged, but digging deeper could give a clearer picture.
Also the presence of a member in the various boards is important, as this means they better understand the state if the forum.
5632  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's kick some bear ass on January 30th! on: January 13, 2019, 06:22:42 AM
Bitcoin is not a pump and dump schemes, in as much as everyone is interested in profiting from the market, engaging in such is detrimental to the network.

Spread the word! Let's do this every month and win!

For one to win, another has to loss. In pump amd dump groups is mostly the underlings who lose out cause they are buying on the way up, and not at the bottom.
5633  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are any of you paid your salary in crypto? What's it like? on: January 12, 2019, 08:43:08 PM
the employee agrees to receive a certain amount, e.g. 0.5 BTC per month for a year. If the price goes down, it's his loss, if the price goes up, it's his win.

I agree with this strategy. Pegging bitcoin in work hours and not fit would also increase price stability, as there would be no effort put into earning it, and one would be less likely to sell at a lower price.

It would be weighed less using speculative value and more with the work effort put in. It also has the added benefit of quick, cheap transactions, which are transparent and open source, ans irreversible

Its still a while before it would receive that much acceptance and mass adoption
5634  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We are the 15% on: January 12, 2019, 08:38:15 PM
The figures might not be accurate, but it's no secret that little hands hold a larger percentage of the entire bitcoin in circulation, some of which would be first adopters who got in when it was very cheap or free.

Bitcoin is decentralized, but the system can not limit the amount one can purchase. The system is not regulated.
As it grows in adoption and utility, circulation is likely to increase.
5635  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Searching Trading Effective strategy on: January 12, 2019, 08:32:52 PM
Traders work better with different strategies designed to suit their skills and resources.
There are basics that applies to everyone, most especially newbies, understanding of this market, risks and potential determine how long one can last and how much they can grow.

Never invest more than you can lose
Practice, demo trading
Explore different possibilities
Start with as little capital as possible.
5636  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can we post link for any article? on: January 11, 2019, 04:36:44 PM
No, I am not but i saw some people banned due to sharing of some link here even their intentions weren't marketing at all.

Sharing links would not get you banned from the forum, except the links contains malwares which would be harmful to those who visit the websites.
Newbies can also get nuked for spamming the forum with links from shady websites.

Plagiarism is copying contents and passing it off as your own creation, without crediting the source. This would get you a permanent ban.
5637  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I have 10 merit to give for Jr.Members and newbies on: January 11, 2019, 04:30:58 PM
...

It would work better if members were to present posts which were not posted by them, this would curb those who simply look for their most presentable post, whether or not it's worthy of merit. But this wouldn't work either, as most will not burden themselves with that task, and those that do would likely be suggesting posts from their alts.

The best option in merit giving, is to take out time to scan the forum for quality posts.
If you regularly visit the forum and engage in discussions, the should not he tasking.
5638  Other / Politics & Society / Re: French Government Prohibits Protesting and Freedom of Speech – Major Crack Down on: January 09, 2019, 05:29:11 PM
Peaceful protests is a human right and anyone should be able to exercise that, but when it becomes a movement which is hijacked and made to spread the panic then the government has a decision to make.
People would really start o understand that your rights end where my rights begin.

I couldn't agree more with this statement.
5639  Economy / Speculation / Re: How to enter a perfect trade and stop being a loser. on: January 08, 2019, 09:35:18 AM
but the key to remain profitable is to use a proper risk reward ratio entries, for example if you are aiming for 100$ you should not risk more than 50$, any trade that doesn't have at least 1:2 risk to reward ratio is a bad trade to begin with.

This is dependent on the capital invested. With a very high capital, one could target a profit of 30 - 40% and realize a substantial gain and trading with lower risks. It does not always have to be a 100% gain.
Its also dependent on the duration of the trade, and when you plan on pulling out profits.

As a beginner, profit margin should not take precedence, more emphasis should be placed on learning and all profits should be appreciated, regardless how little.
5640  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What coins do you like to trade the most? on: January 08, 2019, 09:26:29 AM
It depends on the level of risk you are willing to take as a trader.
For minimal risk, go for coins with higher market caps, they offer higher liquidity and also are tradeable on numerous platforms, this gives an avenue for arbitrage trading.
Coins with lower market cap present higher risk, and selecting one to trade with is quite difficult. Trading volume is one criteria I use to choose
