"As long as they don't copy the whole game/movie it is legal"

But the case here is different.
He just copied the artwork itself and that artwork won 1st place last time lol.
Well I don't want to argue anymore, at the end judges will be the one who'll pick their bets.
I'm just speaking for the rest of the participants here. Thank you!

I just don't get why you're saying "Parody Art" lmao do you even know about copyright?
Do you paint? Are you an artist? Stop acting all mighty here coz I can provide proof of what I'm saying as "heavy referencing"
This would be my last reply. Lol

Is it valid to entry an artwork with "Heavy referencing" from the winning piece last time?
Also, did the original artist gave you permission to use his idea and concept? If so, then there's no problem with this.
If not, then there will be an issue here.... I guess, plagiarism.

"All of the following are considered plagiarism:
turning in someone else's work as your own. copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit. failing to put a quotation in quotation marks. giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation" - Source: Plagiarism.org

I hope judge would be fair to all artwork that were done by "Conceptualizing" and "Originality"
I personally admire those who tried their best to do original artwork even though they are not skilled enough.

Just dropping my thoughts about this.
Thanks!

Ok, do you think the complexity of public address affects the economy of a coin or a chain? For example, if bitcoin had an easy to remember the address, would it be adopted more readily? The same question is valid for ETH, of course.

People are irked by complex addresses and one of the reasons old folks are not into crypto is because everything is too complicated, as they are not computer age people like us. They like it simple and I tend to think that simpler addresses would help them adapt, and improve the crypto economy.

I had an earlier post about Chinese collecting bitcoin as payment and another post about Hong Kong free press collecting donations. One of the things was that they had to use the same darn address for collecting BTC. Now if the addresses for donations were more recognizable I think things would be a lot easier for them.
About two days ago I found this site that gives you a common name like BOB or BitcoinBull or CryptoBull for a bitcoin address. So, I am thinking that things would be easier for large organizations to collect money if they had recognizable names instead of a long string of numbers and letters. What do you think, would it make it easier, in terms of adoption?

I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of that one person who's device was stolen, or their computer was hacked, stealing wallet addresses, private keys, and even security phrases. Well, that happened to me after someone broke into my hotel room and stole my work laptop.  Fortunately, before they could figure out how to withdraw the funds out of my wallets, I was able to extract the funds and send them to entirely new address, but the difficult part of this was remembering the addresses.  Storing the addresses seemed unlikely, since other secure information would also be stored in the same location.  All I really wanted to was keep an address book to help pay certain vendors and also make deposits into my own accounts.

I'm not sure why, but most wallets do not have an address feature.  Having a one stop shop for all your wallets just make the entire use case easier, and I believe it's that would help attract new crypto users to support the industry and it's movement.  An address book like Digital Names saved me a lot of time to pull up saved files and find the needed address.  Oh, and this is not limited to one specific blockchain, so you can have different wallet address like BTC, ETH, STEEM, ETC, and so on...

Trading wars can be a very big influence because there will definitely be those who use cryptocurrency to make money transfer transactions or use it for money laundering, so I think this cryptocurrency can have an influence that will make cryptocurrency prices go up or down depending on the war actors who wage war what use cryptocurrency trading is used for.

I can’t even imagine how to track a person who has a cryptocurrency. If, of course, the person himself came and said all his data or trades large sums, then this may attract attention in transactions from his wallet. But people who trade not large amounts of cryptocurrency are not worth tracking.

In my opinion, Bitcoin was created as a peer to peer payment tool based on network transparency so it is difficult to manipulate. If Bitcoin is used as a payment tool, I don't think it will disrupt the economy because a country must have its own currency and Bitcoin is only a complement to this digital age.

Are you new?  They not only holding cryptocurrency they issued cryptocurrenncy named Petro. That was years ago.   That si probabyl reason why their currency is slosing value so fast since they daytrade.

If there is a economic crisis world wide people will sell off the assets that will have direct implication to their total asset and will look for assets that are not controlled by any government as these crises are a result of bad policies by these politicians and BTCitcoin is an asset which is decentralized and can be trusted than any other investment during recession. Other than these where do people invest during recession, no investment is safe during a recession .

What is the big deal if bitcoin is young and just exist for at least 10 years? There is no big deal on that since bitcoin has a great and advanced technology while gold is just a precious metal with a price on it. Gold is an old fashioned way of storing value while bitcoin is an advanced asset which it can help you to gain more interest on your money compare to the traditional assets like gold.

Of course if someone create a business or project they need to get licensed or permit to the government so they can operate without having a problem. I think it's good to get license first before they operate because we know bitcoin is legit so we need also do all process that they need.  Also people can trust to one business if they permit or even a license.

picture means nothing.. people can have lots of small holdings that all add up.

also. seems the OP is just looking to brand some new title before its even special/exclusive
if so, shoulda been more creative.. like fiats '3 comma club' rather than billionaires club

It is indeed illegal for the government to know that there are mixers for bitcoin which is money laundering where the mixers remove any trace of that cryptocurrency like bitcoin. There is nothing new here to know that there are mixers since even with the fiat currency, there is also a process to clean your dirty money.

bitcoin is being used in so many places throughout the world but it can be so much more. It's obvious that there are so many freelancers in every country. Firms, companies, startups etc.. have a limitation that they can hire freelancers only from their country since they can pay them only in their native currency to avoid hassle of exchange. But if firms, companies, startups etc.. start using bitcoin as a payment method to hire freelancers then there will be so many opportunities for the freelancers since they can get work from anywhere in the world. I don't know why has  this not become a huge thing until now. This could really change the life of freelancers and give a better end result/product to the company they are working for.
