This happens when you don't invest in trusted coins. If you are holding a trusted coin, with high utility, liquidity and the rest, you will not panic whenever there's a dip. It's only when you hold some worthless coins that got popular through the trend hype that you will be anxious when there's a drift in price.

After investing for long time, find something doing with your free time, this will keep your mind engaged instead of remaining idle and thinking about your investment

Op, I just did a quick search to dig up one of my early posts which expressed exactly what you have done in OP. Now I'll place both posts below, we will read both and try to deduce something from them.



Lesson to be learnt;

• Always use search function to be sure you are not trying to discuss what has been discussed several times in the past.
• theymos is reluctant of making any merit related changes. If you were here 2018, according to some people, you will appreciate the merit system.

Well said. Most ban appeals are handled case by case. When I was new, I remember two members unbanned within the same space. But I haven't seen something like that again. I would like you to check out this thread, you will see that forum is become very lenient in recent time.

That's not the only advantage of CEX of DEX. I am not supporting CEX in this debate but I'm trying to prove that there are other advantages of CEX of DEX apart from selling coins near market price.

• Have you considered the user interface of both and see that CEXs are a way better.
• How about internal feeless transfers.
• Non technicality of usage
• Security of the exchange. This might be confusing, but a DEX  which do not have many developers working on it is a menace.
• I just want both to co-exist in order to get the government distracted.

Exactly my thoughts... An adage says if a child is punished in one regular way, that punishment will eventually become a hobby to the child. I don't think that Binance is afraid of any litigation anymore. Infact her former CEO has been convicted and yet the company keeps going. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger is the case of Binance.

I joined the forum and saw Charles-Tim promoting Bestchange which was the highest paying campaign then after Chipmixer. I admired him and the likes of CryptopreneurBrainboss. From then till date, Charles-Tim has been promoting high paying and reputable projects. I give him all the available flowers.

Quite interesting and a nice idea, iff: what theymos lives for is Bitcointalk.
Instead of theymos toeing this lane, he will rather form a group that will transform the forum to a decentralized one.

To me, these ideas are not needed yet because the forum is not doing any illegal deals. The last time I checked, arms and drugs are not sold here. I also feel that theymos has an informant from the government. Anytime US wants to come for this forum, it will not take him unaware. Could be the reason he stopped mixers, who knows with this recent attacks on mixers, BTT would have been implicated and suspended by now.

This will help newbies alot. I was confused when some of my posts were deleted in my newbie days. I wouldn't know if it was an off topic, or spam or was just reported and deleted for no reason (which was what I believed then).
I instead have another striking concern;

• You have been banned because of plagerism.
• You have been banned because of spamming
• You have been banned for sharing malicious links

Etc.
This could guide those writing ban appeals on how to present their cases.

Apart from the above you described, the forum does not operate in such a way to deny anyone freedom. Even bumping warnings doesn't restrict you from posting, rather it will encourage you to start a new topic unless it's very necessary to bump.

Nice to see this thread bumped. Although it's an old thread but this is my first time of seeing it. I have read a thread where someone was proposing to compile a list such as this. I trust the person has seen this to avoid duplicate threads.

Op, can you make a provision to check implemented suggestions? Like 2fa authentication, Op on topic starters have been implemented. This could make theymos see here as a place to come whenever he wants to implement a new thing.

This area you pointed out, to me is the most important factor to be considered while preparing to trade or learn trading. The emotional ruggedness of a trader is that fuel that keeps the trader going. I remember when I first joined the cryptocurrency industry, and it was the period of 2021 bull run. I learnt the basics of trading and was practically buying low and selling high, since it was bull run, I thought I have mastered the act of trading. But when the market went against me heavily, I was emotionally bewitched. I couldn't perform any reasonable task in the real life until I sold at lose and regained my healthy life. That was when I realised that trading actually isn't for me

If I am paid in USD, I can use same to buy USDT. In the other hand, if I am paid in USDT, I can convert same to USD. The world is full of possibilities, so I don't think it's needful killing one'self. The most important thing is getting a job and being worthy to be paid at the end of the month or year.

The number one step is first learning how to trade. There's no need hasting to losses when there's always an opportunity to earn. It's better you get well prepared by learning how to trade and then you can comfortably start trading.


You just need how much you can produce and how much you can afford to lose. Don't go get loan because of trading.

You trade with exchanges, just choose a reputable one.

Upon all the efforts the forum members made to eradicate 1xbit from this forum, we still hear of 1xbit even when they are no longer advertising here and even when they are proven scammers. If you check scam accusation board, there's 1xbit there, you check reputation board, they are there, in gambling board, they are there and now in service discussion.

My take is that anyone who knows 1xbit to be scam and still decides to patronize them should face whatever consequences when it comes.

I think that kind of link came from someone who knows you in person. Maybe they know you have joined cryptocurrency and you are a newbie, they wanted to try you. You could consider not telling people much about your investment.
It could also come from where you have linked your address before for a free coin or an airdrop. Ignoring such attempts is the safest thing you could do.

At a beginner you already know that you need to know the strategies before investing, that is a great one by the way. Even without being in the forum there are a lot of places in the internet that will tell you about Bitcoin. What you actually need to do is to open your mind to learning and alot of bitcoin related articles. mk4 provided useful links and if you can follow those links you will know as much as you want to know about Bitcoin.

Next time you should avoid asking this type of generic questions, some users of this forum do not like this type of questions because they can easily be searched and answers gotten.

I was very much resistant of using a digital bank for a very long time until I was persuaded severally to open an account with them. Finally this year I did open an account with one of the digital banks in my country and it has been a very nice experience. They do not extort their customers unnecessarily as the traditional banks deal without remorse. They also do not charge for SMS alert as they do not send any text message to your phone, the offer limited free transaction fee. With their apps you can pay all kinds of utility bill which you might not even see in the traditional banks. Recently, their activities have not been going well in my country, it seems that the government are beginning to over tax them and give them some conditions which they cannot meet.

Since after the advent of covid-19, everyone understood that the world is tilting towards online. So, we should embrace this kind of gestures.

There is no need for anyone to underrate or talk down on money. Money is so powerful than we see it. People that do not understand the value of money are the set of people that do not know any other function of money apart from its purchasing power. Money brings happiness, it does this by providing all the comfortable things for you and bringing happy people closer to you. Imagine how happy you will be that you work into a boutique and do not care the amount of clothes they sell there, you buy as much as you can and pay. I remember when I never had some money with me, I will just be unnecessarily hungry. But when the money is there, I could possibly go several hours without getting hungry because I know that I can afford any food I want to eat. This is how the real life scenario plays out. When you have money you will stop wishing many things and things will become reality and you can say you are a wealthy man. Money brings happiness and good health.

It is fine that you have acknowledged that one need to first acquire some knowledge before they will begin to take action. The man who has no knowledge, idea or experience about something but begins by taking action at rightly might likely fail. This is why learning should not be underrated and it is only when one must have learned a lot that they begin to earn.

The place of experience cannot be underrated in investment. An inexperienced investor is tantamount to losing while an experience investor could make good fortune from his investment. How do we get experience, first by trying. But we should not wait to try everything ourselves and make alot of mistakes before learning from our mistakes. It is permitted to also learn from others mistakes.

I would choose not to involve in the politics of my country if it is possible, but then the government and their policies in one way or the other affects me and that is why I will have to directly or indirectly get involved.
If I am from the States, I will vote Trump because of the statement he made. Be it political or not, it is better he made the good statement than sticking with someone who already is in power and doesn't do much to favour cryptocurrency. The shoe wearer knows where it stinks, so Americans know what they want but American bitcoiners know better

I discovered this some time ago that it seems I'm the only one who isn't moved by what celebrities do. I don't even idolize any celebrity. Apart from the footballers I don't even know that names of many celebrities. I wouldn't be surprised if I walk pass many popular musicians in my country. I was in the airport one day and was actually beside one celebrity, I didn't know until some other group of people walked in and started hailing the celebrity. I smiled and told the celebrity that I didn't actually know him and he was a bit surprised.

I have read where some said they started gambling because their favourite celebrity does;
Some pattern their lifestyle, from clothing to the rest to that of their favourite celebrity;
I wouldn't be surprised if some people started investing in BTC because if their favourite celebrity. But it won't easily happen unless it is a Ponzi scheme or a shitcoin which the owners hired a celebrity to promote.
