It depends on your government. There are some that don't care about drug abusers and just let them do whatever they want. It's almost as if saying, "It's their body and they're the one responsible if anything bad happens to them." There's also some that banned drugs and then pretend that they're doing something about it but they only raid the ones that have big business in selling/buying drugs. There are also some that are really active that raids even small time drug sellers.

Nonetheless, I really think the control in drugs depends on the society and not on the government. If people would report the drug users they know, then the police would surely do action. Some people even when they know drug users, they don't report it because they're friends with them or they're family. Let's not put all the blame to the government while you're just sitting there in front of your computer doing nothing about the said problem.

I'm not sure why are other people say that bitcoin is illegal/banned in their country. There's not that much bitcoin users. There's just like 1 million of us worldwide. That means in every country, there's just a few thousand people using it. In a country, there's usually millions of people. I don't know why would their government prioritize banning bitcoins over all the other issues their country has.

Consider bitcoin as a foreign currency that you have to convert to your local currency first. If you live in the Philippines, you would have to convert your dollars first into their local currency before you can buy something. Basically the same thing as what you do when you're using bitcoins.

The Paypal chargeback is only good when you're the buyer. If you're the seller, you have to take the risk that maybe your customer will dispute his payments. Too bad for you, you loss your earnings just because your account isn't verified. I also have an unverified paypal account but it's never been locked. I use it to receive payments before and since then I've been using it to buy stuffs online.

Was your account locked for 180 days? If so, then you can transfer your funds from your unverified account to your verified account so your money wouldn't be locked up again.

I'm leaving the two tables posted so you guys can compare them. There you go:

That's how Shorena's table looks like. The mix-max is messed up because of the "x". I can fix it tomorrow if you guys want me to properly align it.

There's not that much difference actually:


I can simply remove the | in between min and max to save space but have it aligned.

Thanks!

Actually we can't. Not at the moment at least. The A, PNYC, CFNP, and FLUX words are all in the same column as the "Full" column. I can go and put one word per column which would occupy the Hero, Senior, Full, and Member column to implement your idea but it would expand the columns because of the words "Participants" in CFNP, "Accepting" in FLUX (in between closed and accepting).

If someone could find a way to merge cells or something similar to the "colspan" syntax, then we can implement your idea.

When I was a newbie, I have invested in some HYIP sites, and doubler sites because I wanted to make some quick money. I also got scammed buying small amounts of bitcoins, exchanging bitcoins into prepaid load, and P2P buying/selling altcoins. I'd say I have been scammed at least 15 times ever since. Nowadays, I don't do transactions unless I personally know the person I'm transacting with or my friends said that the said person wasn't a scammed and they have had transactions with him before.

I think the idea of bank accepting bitcoin is absurd. They would just look like they're endorsing bitcoins which is their primary opponent right now. The two have opposite ideas so they shouldn't be combined. It would be something like McDonalds accepting Max's gift certificate or coupons as payment.

There's no bank that accepts bitcoin right now but you would have to use a bank account before you can withdraw your bitcoin into fiat. When they start accepting bitcoins, people will be intrigued and look up online what bitcoin is. They might end up using it, and embracing the whole concept which is something our government doesn't want to happen.

Because mining sites are either a scam or would take you a year before you can get your ROI. Of course there are mining sites out there that have been on for years already but they can all crash or run away at any given time. I think it would be better if you just hold your coins or use it for other matters. Yes, you can earn some profit if the site operates long enough but I don't think that profit is worth the stress given by the idea of the website running away any time.

It's not important if the community you're in doesn't accept the existence of bitcoin. Only the user himself have to receive/send bitcoins anyways, not the whole community. As long as you're earning money without putting anyone in harm, then it's okay to continue what you're doing in the bitcoin world. Even though people are unaware of the existence of bitcoin, I've never heard someone got tortured by the community just because he used bitcoins. It's okay to be different.

Which means you're already rich even before you start holding bitcoins. It's not changing in the future, the price might decrease but you would still need huge amount of money to get rich just by holding it. In the future, you would need even much higher amount of money to do so. The only way that you can get rich by holding bitcoins without investing that much money is to go back to the past and buy bitcoins, but that's not possible to do right now.

Even though you can earn profit by holding bitcoins, your profit would still depend on how much bitcoins you hold. I believe that hard work + smart work is still the way to go to become rich in bitcoins.

Hmm. You can't say that you're going to play Pokemon Go everyday for sure. That's the very same thing people said even before Pokemon Go was launched. After a week or so of playing, they all got bored of it. You don't know how much bitcoins can you earn from Pokemon Go (assuming that they implement the bitcoin idea). You might be dissatisfied by how low it is and not even bother to install Pokemon Go.

People have already caught the rare Pokemons so I don't think there would be a Pokemon worth 1BTC since the supply is huge. Pokemon Go developers would have to wipe the saved accounts on their game and start over, make it harder to find rare Pokemons, ban all bot users, and implement something new to the game (i.e. P2P battle).

Your brother wasn't wrong about the faucet thing though. He probably have realized how little you're earning from faucet sites that even if the price of bitcoin goes 10x, your earnings are still very little. Anyway, we all have our stories of how we started in bitcoins.

If somebody make fun of what you're doing in the bitcoin world, just let them laugh. Be good at it. Study the things necessary about bitcoin. In due time, you're going to start earning bitcoins and you can look at how much they didn't change financially and intellectually. It's your time to laugh then. But even so, you should stay humble and just continue improving yourself so you'll earn even more money.

That might be the situation right now. It's only normal for humans to stay in their comfort zone, but once the majority of people around them has embraced change, they will too.

Now that everything's becoming more and more modern, it's only a matter of time until people start talking about bitcoin. It's only a matter of time for bitcoin to become one of the trending topics and the most used Hashtag in social media sites.

TL;DR: People don't want to change at first but once change is already there, they wouldn't have any choice but to adapt change. Even the governments would have to adapt change if the era of crypto-currency is already taking over.

I think money management isn't your problem. Your problem is that you can't control your urge. When you feel like you want to gamble, you just say 'Yes' to yourself. It would seem as if you can't control yourself right now but you actually can. There's a huge discussion about this in the gambling discussion board so no need for me to go deep about this topic.

In addition, stop investing in doubler sites. Your hard earned money just go to waste by doing that. Don't believe to whatever method they said that let them multiply your coins by 2 in 100 hours or so.

There's no point in reporting a bitcoin wallet address. He can make hundreds/thousands of them in just a couple of seconds. Good thing if the scam did happen in this forum, you can open a scam accusation against the user and his account will have a negative trust from DT members. But nonetheless, you're not getting your money back.

Irreversible bitcoin payment is actually a really good thing if you're the seller. You know the money can't be disputed and once you received it, it's yours.

Finally figured it out! This is my biggest contribution to this thread so far aside from updating the table (almost) every day. I hope it fixes the problem of most users.

Edit: Still wasn't satisfied with the length of the table. I renamed Let's Talk About the Future and then removed the ".io" and ".net" of some items so the table can be as narrow as it could be.

I didn't say anything like that. I said it would be much better if they would learn things like that instead of wasting their time, energy, and effort doing faucets. Faucets aren't fun, btw. After doing faucets for 2 hours straight, do you find yourself smiling? No. You're already getting annoyed by the repetitive task.


Not every kid has someone beside them to support them. Some kids have to earn money even in a very young age in order to survive. In order to eat even once a day. Maybe you can't find them in the bitcoin world because they don't afford to rent a computer but they really do exist IRL. I know this for a fact because I grew up with kids like this.

It depends. In the first place, what would be the use of bitcoins in Pokemon Go? To buy and sell Pokemons? I don't think so. People have already caught most Pokemons using a bot.

The next question is, how much bitcoins would there be? If the amount is the same as faucet sites, then the owners and devs of Pokemon Go are just embarrassing themselves. Other people would think that they only linked bitcoins to the game in hopes of reviving their game and nothing else. It's a desperate move in the eyes of most. It would be hyped up again at the first days of the update, but people will leave it again quickly since they can't earn anything at all.

Well I guess I am lucky because I started being really into bitcoins around March. The price has almost doubled since. Let's see what would happen in January 2017. I would most probably remember this post anyway. If you would consider price fluctuations as pump and dump of course it would seem like a non-stop pump and dump to you. I think it's only normal to see major price fluctuations. No one guaranteed that bitcoin will increase continuously with just very little dumps along the way.
