The prediction contest are becoming interesting these days as price volatility is high and those who have insighted low dips for the bitcoin price have more chances of win but speaking frankly have not expected prices to go down this much to $23k level but will see how it will perform in coming months.

Yeah it was just my guess that there could be some art contest for us soon but there might not be any of it.Not next month but yes they will be back with it maybe on some special theme of Roobet celebration.

So if you are interested in 3D Mr.Roo model that will be really interesting to see what you come up with and the art could be in any format.

Till now there are no updates as was having eye on the channel but till now there are no updates but hope @Cyrus and the team keep it alive and have no plans to abandon the videos even if it take some time to upload the videos.

Last time I posted with some stats of the channel to remind all how well we were progressing but don't know how long we have to wait any further.

Good to see that more members are willing to translate the post in various local languages to spread them across that boards to reach more members.There are so many useful post made him that you can translate but a little suggestion to you is have a look at @GazetaBitcoin's translation post even though you don't understand the language to see how you can make some good translation with that local touch of the language.

The translation thread is having good number of applications these days and main aim is also to spread these posts to more and more local boards as possible and your more upcoming threads will also see the same response.

The employees layoffs during these times is normal but don't think so Coinbase needs this decision at this time as they are expanding their business to different nations and need employees backpack to support them but we all know they are mainly concerned with their profits only and this decision came across by CEO but they will never take a cut in their wages and taking big portion of it :



See how much they are earning through coinbase and involving in all other privacy related breaches and freezing the funds of users.But they see the future economic conditions as concerning and needs to implement this decision.They are making billion dollar revenue each quarter and you can check out the shareholders report

But they are implementing this decision at this time when market is down and they wants to save themselves with recent SEC filings which was important as they declared users funds can be used in case of insolvency so what else can we expect from them that they will not protect anyone's interest.

Implementation of bitcoin as legal tender in these countries is very hard job to do but they still find it as option to revive their economic conditions through it's usage is welcome step.You see there are lot of problems in CAR and people face poverty and war from a long time and most of them might not be familiar with what bitcoin is.The government approach can help them spread awareness among them but how will they provide internet access to them as conditions are little better in El Salvador but still taking these big steps towards adoption are key to success in the long run.

The government could give it a boost by investing some amounts at this time and storing it in treasury as an asset reserve which can be used at the time of price appreciation which will boost the funds and can take steps onto progress for the country but it will be hard task to achieve.

This market is totally unpredictable and anything could happen but i would say these dips have some reasons behind it like the LUNA crash first of all with it's faulty algorithm taking out billions of the market and then Celsius meltdown which is shifting the price trend to low graphs but yes we can say that $20k support is strong and hope it keeps up at this time with little ant pumps also.The prediction games are turning out to be quite interesting with these heavy fluctuations so looking forward this week.

Just open you accusations with some valid proofs like the screenshot with the support team and your bet slips and other proofs that can defend yourself and your issue will be taken into serious consideration for sure.The team will look into the matter and will reply you but you also need to support your argument with proofs against it and then only it can help you man.

Hackers can still hack it through various ways like phising attempts and the only thing they need is keys to your bitcoin or seeds of the wallet that protect your funds but if they gain access to it they have access to your funds.

The seeds are generated from entropy and are of 12/24 words and it's nearly impossible for anyone to brute force it without knowing some of the words so you can assume it safe in that case.

Blockchain is like public ledger where each and every transactions is recorded on the blocks mined and verified by the miners.Each block is mined approximately in ten minutes and the transactions are then added to these newly mined blocks saved on blockchain.We can say it as open and transparent public ledger where records can't be tampered.

Who said bitcoin don't have the fees at this time? There is always fees which goes to the miners who has solved the block so they earn all the transaction fees that will be included in that particular block plus 6.25BTC as mining rewards at this time.There is one myth about bitcoin fees that it depends on amount but it actually depends on the size of transaction.

But you might be confusing Lightning Network where you could open up payment channel and make as many transactions without waiting for confirmation and fees but when the final transaction is promoted up to blockchain it will have the fees included so you can't say there is no fees.

Monero is completely anonymous coin while bitcoin and others are pseudo-anonymous which means you can track the transaction through wallet address and blockchain but not is the case with Monero.

If you have invested in bitcoin then it's good choice and as you have sparked about the inflation then it's good choice but for long term as the current trend is not so good but will recover soon so save and invest in it not others shitcoins just my advice to you not forcing it on you and study more about it.

You just need to take this as discussion forum and follow the basic rules of the forum and you won't get any type of ban whether signature ban or permanent ban.The main rules which you should take care as newbie is don't plagiarise on the forum which means if you are not orginal author of the content you are sharing mention the source always or write it in quote and you are good rest have look at rules for avoiding any problems.There is no competition that will kick you out of the forum so go with your pace and grow with learning on the forum.

It seems that you are non native English speaker judging from your writing style but a suggestion is work on it if you are posting on these general boards to make yourself clear to others.Now to answer your question if you learn something new on the forum it will definitely benefit you to have more knowledge which is beneficial for you.

There is nothing difficult in quoting any post you want to reply as you see there is quote button on the right side of each post and you simply click on it and you will be diverted to the writing area where you can reply to that person or you can read this thread to help you : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5346341.0

You should also read this thread which will help you to get familiar with some ways to write posts on the forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5184741.0

Rest slowly you will learn lot of things but you need to give it time and yourself that dedication to learn about it.

You have registered previous year on the forum and have gained 277 merits till now with being senior member of the forum which is appreciated but do you think this thread is necessary? First of all this board is dedicated towards forum related discussions only and this belongs to Reputation board or specifically the topic mentioned above by @Solosanz and you can celebrate your 365 days on the forum.

It seems to be that one self praising threads on B&H section that are created with the intention of earning more merits and frankly saying passing full year on the forum is not a big task as you see we have been here from years and if all started creating these threads then there will be piles of them on these boards spamming up the forum.

You have created some good threads like you mentioned above but posting them here is no good and this whole thread don't serves a good purpose so make sure not to indulge in these practices.

Edit : The thread has been already moved to the Reputation board.

What are your source of learning about bitcoin which states it's centralised in the first place? If you have studied it properly then you must have understood that it's the first decentralised cryptocurrency that made it possible for us to have that financial freedom providing us alternative to the central monetary system and many more things.So if you say it's centralised then it's all wrong and it's completely decentralised in all the ways like no there is no main server, institutions,mining pools controlling it.

Even if we see it from Mining aspect then after the China ban the hashtate distribution has increased to different parts and there are many pools so nobody have the central chain of authority over it

   

So then you said about appreciation and depreciation then it's termed as bitcoin volatility and prices fluctuate on the simple rule of economics which is demand and supply so at this time people are dumping the coins and FUD is there which is pushing price graphs downward but if you have known btc for a while then you must understand it tends to grow in the long run as there is mass adoption on the line with supply shrinking.

Crypto market is big and there are thousands of coins trading over exchange and more than 18k listed on CMC so do you believe all of them are are like bitcoin? I would say none of them is like it and many people beleive it to be get rich scheme but are rugged by scam projects with shitcoins.The other coins are different but only bitcoin is good hope for us to deal with hyperinflation and if you know this fact then you how risky the market is.

People investing in bitcoin are of two categories like the first one is to make quick profits seeing prices rises in bull run but when it drops they panic sell contributing worse to the situation

The second category is people who understand bitcoin at core level and realise true financial freedom against government and with profit they can also gain in the long run.

$22,184 as per CMC at this time



We need to keep up the $20k barrier at any cost so make sure you invest with whatever amount you can now is the time WO and bitcoin brothers then we will have some pizza celebration afterwards smashing the bears in the face

For them the main aim is profitable trades and they have to trade cryptos so these exchanges are suitable for them but those who wants to hold their coins safely then avoiding these CEX is the best alternative to them as they have your keys and can freeze your transactions anytime so what safety do you expect from these platforms.

We are users and holders not any competitor of these CEX who wants to establish their business by defaming them as the problems are real faced by many and just want to guide them to don't cater these exchanges.When you are storing decentralised cryptos like bitcoin on these centralised platforms then you deplete the base aim of using these coins and don't expect privacy and safety from them at all.

Those who are into trading also needs to have some P2P or decentralised exchange because there are lot of risk with these CEX and it's not hatred for them but only our precautionary measures to keep our funds safe form them and don't know how your KYC documents are being used by them are keep track of you with imposed restriction.

Do you think they are filling out just their pockets and don't giving anything to the gamblers at all? The other casino made a deal for 10 million with some club so if they are not doing the same so they are buying luxury cars with it? They have already so many ways giving back to the community through giveaways and they might have plans for further expansion also with big market cap you are focusing on so we need to just enjoy the current wave of profits if we can.

This is what i like about roobet and they are actively giving away so many promotions on the Twitter and you only need to be active there or on this thread and you will be updated with the latest giveaway.I think there will be soon one art contest back for the members to come up with new exciting arts for Mr.Roo

I also beleive this thread did not intend to throw some light on the useful forum discussions and sound like more of appreciation of the merit sources which we have seen in many self congratulatory threads in the past where members ranking up thanks each merit source for helping them but it's attempt to gain more merits and it is deemed to be of low quality on the forum.

This is not clear to me as you are saying they have earned lot of merits meanwhile you are saying they are denied merits by other members so how do they earn them? If you see the merit sources also earn lot of merits by high rank,low rank and merit sources for the post they make and i didn't doubt about it.Sometimes they also exchange merits with each other but eventually it's distributed on the forum in the end helping members to rank up.

Will talk about only one merit source in this case and he is @Pharmacist and he is the one who has helped many of us to rank up to higher ranks and his style is familiar by those who get merits from him and whenever you send him back he will say not to merit himself but help other good posts on the forum and make them rank up.So you can't say they don't get it as you see most of the sources have good amount of merits earned also with their posts.


The similar thread is created by @LoyceV for helping the members who are unnoticed and didn't have enough merits for the good post they have made by the merit source particularly


You see merit sources usually get merits for the post they have made as you can see the most of them are active on all main boards so they are known by all but low rank members sometimes went unnoticed but this thread helps to aim them.[/list]

First of all congratulations to the thread creator @bullrun2020 with 2500 merits on his profile and now he also have another record saved here so his next mark is now locked for another mark.

Also good to have our flash @Ratimov back with another cool merit record for one of the known member on the forum.Hope you keep this pace man.

---

Also one more merit record by me and one merit source giving out constantly on the economic board of the forum is @paxmao with 1414 same doublers merit record on his profile



Good to see many records being share on this thread and it's going the way it supposed to be.

For sure you would see most newbie accounts connected in those Bounty campaign even submitting same wallet address to get the rewards in form of tokens or so called stakes according to their work.They just want to collect garbage tokens as much they can with their alt social media accounts and posting about them so they don't even worry about it as it's only newbie account so even if they get banned they would make some other.But evil fees is good way to stop them to some extent.

But still we see lot of newbies joining these bounty campaign but the problem arises when they start spamming on other sections of the forum just to rank up but as they lag the capability and knowledge they only make posts which doesn't make any sense but still we see lot of them on the forum.

You can play big as you see there are whales who are wagering billion dollars on single platform like Rollbit as there are no restrictions on placing any bet and you can yeild your returns according to it if you are lucky.I would recommend you to try lootboxes although chances are less but if you wager more and more the winning chances improve which can bring you some really good amount of profits.Rest they have to cater for the small gambling community also for the betterment.
