Agreed, I'm just comparing sending payments as verification as compared to exchanges requiring KYC. The users or us still needs to see feedbacks found around the internet to see if the crypto exchange itself is indeed trustworthy for us to provide our KYCs. And you are right still our private information aside from our money is something they also value to have as this is something they can also sell to the wrong hands that's why we often see Facebook get in a lot of trouble when it comes to data privacy.

Just by even looking at our news about current developments you will see that more and more governments are being in favor with having a crypto industry in their country. Even the ones who have a conservative  government or has strict views with crypto are starting to change their views and opinions about it, this only means that they are starting to see the benefits and opportunities they will have economically and financially if they become a crypto friendly country. The cons are also not that bad if they can be prevented with enforcement and additional laws.

If a crypto exchange asked for a KYC requirment yeah sure thing you can go ahead. But if they asked for money to verify your account that is when you need to quickly exit the website as it's only their to scam you. These is how fake airdrops, and giveaways work they ask you crypto in order to “verify” your account or wallet which makes no sense as sending money doesn't veridy anything at all. @Op how do you manage to find these kinds of crypto exchanges in the first place? It's really hard to imagine with all the popular exchanges available you still manage to find a scam like this one.

The advice "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is something that does not apply in the crypto market, yeah sure that there are some crytpocurrencies that goes into the opposite direction compare to the majority but almost everything follows the movement of Bitcoin or if not Bitcoin the majority of the altcoins during alt season. Don't put all your eggs in one basket simply means do not put all your money in the same industry where in stocks you must focus your money into different sectors like one for energy, one for real estate, and another one for banking in the crypto "industry" you don't have that kind of diversification option since they are all cryptocurrencies and they only belong to one industry.

If you say “local economic issues” are you talking about posts and threads found in the Economics and Press section? Or are you also including literal economic issues found on local boards? I think with a lot of merit sources receiving a huge bump in their sMerits to give they should start to also venture out on non-English boards as well if they do count on the certain categories you have provided.

I don't think newbies are losing money because they simply cannot calculate the risk to reward ratio everytime they trade they just simply don't know how to trade at all. They enter the market thinking that the only thing they need to do is to buy cryptocurrencies and if it starts to go down they would panic without any kind of exit strategy or alternative plans ones that happens. They simply trade without any kind of plan or without any kind of knowledge backing their trades making them lose more money in the process. Still what they need to learn first is of course how to trade with technical analysis because this is their shield and sword in the market without it they are still newbies guessing where to buy and sell.

From what I know the "alt account" rule only comes when both the main account and the alt account is enrolled in the same campaign however if one user only has one account enrolled in one campaign even if its an alt then it's still allowed without any kind of violation whatsoever. Having an alt account isn't a violation in itself, however having two accounts in the same campaign would just be considered as cheating the campaign. Below are some of the campaign rules I know about alt accounts being enrolled in a sig campaign.

This might just be a shakedown against Yang for going out of Bitmain and starting his own company. This is the kind of bullshit you will always see when they want to try to take out their competition entirely especially if it's their ex-employee. It's really not a fair game out there since Yang is competing someone already in the top and this is their way of reminding it to him. I would see this being dragged down in the court so that they will delay the growth of his company.

The special thing about the mining rig manufacturing companies os that they aren't that affected when it comes to the bear market. Unlike crypto exchanges where they will always lay off some workers when they need to do coat cutting because of the bear market mining rig manufacturers don't since there will always be a demand for their product. What I don't understand though is if they failed being listed in their own country why do they think it would be different on bringing it to another country much more in the US where they have a big trade war on going.

If we are talking about the transaction volume happening now then it might not be appealing for the miners to run their hardware without any kind of block reward. But if you consider the mass adoption and favorable laws coming into our world going forward to that year then we might actually see an exponential growth of demand for Bitcoin's price as well as overall use for it. It might even be more ideal for miners to run their operations then with the big amount of transactions happening once that digital age rises. And that's me just talking realistically with the things I have been seeing now.

I'm seeing news that it looks like Moise Kean is going back to Serie A and this time he might be wearing the red and blacks of AC Milan. Mino Raiola, the agent of Moise Kean, is the one who first contacted Milan and they are talking about a potential January transfer window move with him. Milan might be interested in the offer since they offloaded their young star, Patrick Cutrone, last summer and they didn't really have any replacement for him.  Hopefully Everton won't overvalue him since he is the one asking for the move and I know Milan's management isn't too trigger friendly went it comes to shelling out big transfer budgets specially in the January transfer window.

Supported the flag and all I can say is that they have tried poorly to scam people here. The photos they have taken are obviously grabbed from the internet and seriously only a few people will believe in this kind of shit they are trying to pull. And not they are trying to say that "all the real photographs of full team will be in place within 2 days be assured" bullshit to our faces they are really this desperate to pulling of this scam so I supported the flag to prevent this from happening.

Can a user still ask a question without putting up a bounty offer for their question? If yes I think this would be a bad idea for a website that mainly runs into bounty rewards for the best answer since they will lack interest on questions without bounties so maybe the website should be the one setting up a default bounty for questions without bounties by this users. Because I doubt people will really have an interest on paying/ setting a bounty for their questions in a website where they can post the same question on another forum or any of your competition for free.

The way I see how it will start out for Libra is it wouldn't be use by the consumers at first but with all the partnerships Facebook has for it with a lot of big corporations then the consumers will be somehow force to try or use it. Usually this is how it will start where these partners will make Libra as a requirement or there will be some kind o promo running if they use Libra and it will surely attract a lot of consumers to use it. It's not about the real interest behind it but really its because how Facebook has planned to start it with them and I think with these partnerships in line I'm pretty sure that it will cover a lot of people already.

Well it does't compete with gold and it has nothing to do with its prices even in the past. Why? For two reasons I have seen during Bitcoin's climb upwards way back 2017 gold there was struggling but at the same time quickly recovered as well during that year we observed to movements for gold and only one for BTC this just show that they don't have any correlation between the two. Other than that there is no proof or hard evidence that shows that investors of gold are also the main traders in crypto market. If someone offloads gold to buy BTC then we all know who would drop and who would go up, which in this case we haven't seen yet.

Well the different thing about Etsy is they are not just a marketplace for the seller since they also offer other services that can be useful for a true seller. Features like analytics, management tools, and support at also provided by their service everytime you list your item making it more useful for any true sellers out there. Based on how you describe your service you will just offer up a website where users can buy and sell. It sort off like Ebay where scammers are also often found. But nevertheless this is just my opinion and maybe I'll be wrong with it but one thing is for sure is that you need to have a unique marketplace where you can beat the others to hopefully gain some market share of your own, without that you will barely have any activity going on in your website.

Basically any crypto related channel you join you will still have these kinds of scam from the app if its not coming from the channel itself then the ones part of the group will be the ones trying to scam you. It's because its easy to create an account you can create several dozens of it so that even if they block or report the scammer they will still have other backup accounts to still continue on posting the scam they have.  And if I mean all of the crypto channels you will see in TG I mean everything even the ones who analyze charts, sharing news, or even ICO channels you will see a lot of these posts about giveaways and investments that it's really hard for any newbies to avoid, TG isn't really for everyon especially the ones unaware of such scams happening in it.

One thing that I have seen why marketplace fail is the number of scammers and poor sellers lurking around in your service, this is enough for the wanted buyers to stay away from them. So really if you won't be handling any kind of logistics and the way will work is they will just simply post what they are selling it would just create an environment where people will just transact directly without any of your help. It's just like you are just posting the things you want to sell on Facebook's own marketplace which wouldn't be any different alone. Escrow really won't be enough since what other e-commerce website I see is they also handle not only the shipping of the product but also the returns of the broken, fake, or wrong items. This creates a much more guarantee for both the seller and buyer not to scam each other since you as a service is much more involve in each transaction.

The funny thing about HYIP monitors is they only exist because they don't know if the sites they have put money on is still paying or not that's why you will always see the words PAYING, Stop paying, or ended in their website list since we all know that they aren't real investment and they are just here to scam people. HYIP monitors is something that people who knows that the investment is a scam and they just want to monitor if the scam they joined where they recruited a lot of people are still paying. You should be ashamed of yourself for creating one because you are simply supporting the scam in the process.

It's not the number of posts required to reach payment the problem but it's the quality of participants have in each campaign is. If you look at most participants part of a sig campaign they their post lacks quality since they aren't really interested in the topic, they are just posting because it seems to them that they can reply to it as easily as possible they only read the title and go ahead and post something without even reading the previous posts made. All they see is the requirement and they don't see the forum as itself being interesting for them to relate too. That's why a more realistic approach is to have a much strict campaign managers monitoring quality so that even senseless shitposters and spam posters won't be a part of any campaign therefore reducing senseless posts running around in the forum.
