I believe it would depend on whether or not the user has a signed message, there has to be something with which to prove that you indeed owned that account.

It is very thoughtful of the admin to be lenient and consider accounts without signatures. Every user however should endeavour to sign a message as soon as they can.

This is one of the most important points. Always consult multiple sources, verify information on different platforms and consider different suggestions, and use it to decide next action.
Also always have the latest, up to the minute information, especially as a day trader, this would help keep you ahead of the crowd.

Bitcoin still exists, amd would still by next year, so there can be no 'new bitcoin'
If you mean whether or not ripple would take over the number one cryptocurrency spot from bitcoin, that is very unlikely to happen.

I expect market to continue a steady upward rise in the early parts of next year. And attract new investors so as to support major growth.

Until they are actively impersonating the person, and deceiving other members it may not be worth a red trust.
But a neutral trust witha feedback indicating it's not the actual individual can be left, so as to warn other members.

Forum usernames are just nicks, and anyone can use any available name. No doubt there are people who actually bear those names. So it might not always be a case of impersonation.

Someone who registered few months ago, like this account can have gathered a little information about the forum from reading. But it does appear to be an alt as BPIP shows last active to be the day it was registered, this session is yet to be recorded. So the account was inactive since creation.
And yes, it surely is a bad first post, and appears to be seeking approval from other members.

OP you could search on Jet Cash's fit to talk project.
It helps users who are not native English speakers to grasp the language and be more comprehensible

I agree that an unofficial guideline could be drawn out to govern the trust system.
The issue I think arises from the text associated with trust feedbacks; Warning! Trade with extreme caution. It makes it seem like it only concerns trades. But I believe it roughly covers interactions with other users.

If a user is known for giving false facts about bitcoin, this is not an offense worthy of a ban. But it could be misleading to other members. And could be worthy of a red tag.

I agree it should not be used against users who disagree with your opinion or are expressing themselves, in however eccentric a manner.

Any post made by a banned user outside an appeal thread is classified as ban evasion and such account should be banned. And any account opened by the user.
They can no longer earn from the forum.

Bounty managers should be sensitized on how to handle situations like these, maybe save the work they have done and communicate further through telegram.

This can only be propagated by merchants and retail stores, both on and offline. Bitcoin circulation os spread among various countries. But it's not a readily available payment option when looking to make purchases. Except for some online services.

Volatility is one of the reasons it isn't yet accepted globally. And adoption is needed to reduce volatility

We just got a new ban appeal thread. And the member was quickly exposed as a copy paster, but yet started a thread, and claimed to only write original content.

It was suggested to put a link to the reason for Ban, but that is a lot of work. And I fear we would still have such threads regardless.
Plagiarists do not read the rules, or the numerous appeal threads, so very possibly majority of them would always appeal regardless what is done

It could very well be fake volumes reported by the exchanges. If the coin is listed on very few exchanges or just one, then there are no options for CMC to draw up an aggregate trading volume.
It could hardly be manipulations or market makers

Day trading does not consider the fundamentals and product of the coin. The major factors are price volatility, and easy liquidity.
You would also need the full details on where the coin or token is listed, at what value and the various base currencies (trading pairs).
The more options the better, the coin should have sufficient volume and if possible be listed on numerous exchanges.

Some of these account may have been hacked and the new user deleted majority of the old posts and that led to the high ratio of merits per post.
I am not entirely sure, but some could also be users who received airdropped merits and then deleted all their old posts.
Although some is pretty obvious merit abuse.

I do not hold bitcoins as yet, although i have stored up in some very promising altcoins which has good products and high potential return on investment. I do not yet use the applications of these coins, amd am more concerned with the profit value.
I am learning more on the product value of bitcoin and some other altcoins.

It is always helpful to add contents when posting links on to the forum. And also the type of response you expect and your opinions about the content being shared.

This video was seemingly made fir entertainment purposes, but it's also displays the reality were people'get' into cryptocurrency without understanding what exactly it is.
Knowledge is the first goal for a newbie, before considering investing money into it.

Faucets were profitable a couple of years ago, but now with increasing number of scam websites it's a risk.
Also an enthusiast should not need extra incentives to read more about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

The possibilities are endless in this network. And there are ways to earn which is more rewarding, as long as you can get the background knowledge.

Draw up the relevant documents and have them signed, it should also state the exchange rate for bitcoin to fiat at that time.
Ensure it's a direct transaction, done face to face. Asides this, just take the necessary precautions as when paying with other currencies.
You would surely need a lawyer, but that lawyer does not have to act as an escrow, as the transaction can be done instantly using high transaction fees

The plagiarists reduce the quality of discussion in the forum, and I do not support their paying a fine day enable them continue spamming the forum. The forum should not profit from such actions.

Disabling signatures is a good option in cases of 'silly mistakes', but when a user regularly copy and pasted contents in order to complete bounty tasks, or to try and gain merits, they should not be given a second chance.
And this category constitutes the majority of bans, very rarely do we see users not wearing signatures get banned for plagiarism.

How about conducting a survey asking specific questions, and would take far lesser time to complete. It's very unlikely to get someone on the phone for 'an hour or less'. Considering distance, phone bills and difference in time zones.

This is also dependent on the type of trade being practised, short-term day trade, or longer periods. And it's also dependent on the coin being invested in.
Strategies are guidelines, but when trading, instinct sticks out more. And this is acquired through practice and experience.

The stock market has been in a decline for quite sometime now, and for majority of that time bitcoin was also on a similar decline. So the stock is not inherently responsible for the current upward push.

Bitcoin ETF approval, bakkt and futures launch would have a massive impact on the price of bitcoin and indeed the entire Cryptocurrency market
