Buying an account is like buying a university degree without going through lectures and examination. A newbie who buys a high ranking account would be shitposting since he lacks the knowledge of Bitcoin or the forum. Newbies should dedicate their time to learn rather than going through shortcuts which might not end up well. High ranking accounts could also be used for scam since they have build reputation on the forum. Selling of account should be highly discouraged because it has more disadvantaged than advantage.
I do agree with your point, because anyone or a newbie with a genuine intention of learning about Bitcoin basically wouldn't want to jump the process and would want to go through the normal process of growing with time without taking any boycott. Even newbies rarely know about account sales and, even in some cases, wouldn't even care about the ranking system except if they decided to explore other benefits of being a member of this forum. This trade shouldn't be channeled to newbies alone, but account sales should be discouraged generally. I think the problem is that the forum permits sales of accounts in the first place, because you can't give someone a gun and completely stop them from shouting; it's practically impossible. There are some of the rules that end up fighting back, disrupting, and messing up the system. |

Which can be more addicting between the two: placing small bets every day or gambling only once or twice a year but doing so with huge amounts of money?
If you place bets every day, your brain might get too used to it even if it is just a small amount but betting less frequently but with bigger amounts of money may lead you to be emotionally attached to that money and may feel extremely happy to win and extremely disappointed to lose.
So what do you think gets someone more addicted?
I do not see any relationship between gambling with big amount of money once or twice each year with addiction, rather you can relate it that to being greed if the gambler isn't doing that in relation with his income. The gambler that's seen gambling every day should be the one who can be said to get addicted on the process if not done with caution or put in control, because it doesn't totally mean if you gamble on a regular basis that you're addicted, might be that the gambler doesn't want to give up in trying to catch up on a win, etc. |

 The management of Chelsea must have been in a state of confusion after Chelsea's encounter with Manchester United yesterday as to what they should do: sack their coach or even give him more chances. With the situation so far with Chelsea, most reputable managers around Europe would tend to be avoiding Chelsea currently because of their behavior towards the sacking of coaches and not being patient with them. Even looking at the situation at hand, it's no doubt that the management board of Chelsea will be left with no options on the table apart from making arrangements to replace the incumbent coach. It seems I'm seeing Chelsea in their weakest form right now. |

  I just opened my channel. I had opened my first channel earlier but it wasn’t in !ml.com (according to rules) so I had to close it and open a new one. I later realised that all needed was some little time to get broadcasted on the 1ML.com server |

First of all, I won't force anyone but for the ones who showed interest, I tell them it's not a get rich quick business because many newbies do come with such investment mindset, I inform them about DCA too, and that Bitcoin is a long term investment if they want to profit they should look at four years and above. Also I will let them get to know about securing their Bitcoin and the safest method. Lastly I tell them that Bitcoin is volatile asset and should invest with what they're capable of losing.
