Blacks are lazy as fuck.  Especially the North American ones.

There is no 'systemic racism' anywhere in the USA or Canada.  Do you want proof?

Look at the success of East Indians and Asians.  

Hard work works.

Parenting, family support is all it matters when it comes to education.

You cannot break the cycle of poverty without education.

Asian people are really hardworking and they will do everything just to go out of poverty. We are taught to make a better future and make a better world for the next generation. Good parenting is where we started that's why we are having a good quality of life after we finished our studies. It is not about the race, it is the environment that will affect you as you grow older. In some countries, a culture where they don't prioritize education will most likely affect their community.

Blacks should stop idolizing the gang culture, stop shooting each other, instead, they should start reading more.

That's the reason why other race are hating black people, it is because of the crime that they commit. But in reality, not all black people are bad, there are a lot of black people who are living in a decent and peaceful life. I'm hoping that all of the human race should understand how love and peace makes a world better.
1482  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The difference between a true Crypto gambling site and a Fiat/Crypto site.. on: July 25, 2020, 02:50:35 PM
They just want to ride the hype of cryptocurrency gambling sites and take a share of the market for theirs. It's true, it's annoying that these gambling sites are open to accepting crypto deposits but once you play, it is immediately converted to fiat. It's one of the main reasons I see why people prefer crypto gambling sites more than traditional fiat online casinos. It seems like you have no freedom to bet whatever amount you have in mind in these casinos which is a bummer especially if you want to last in the casino and just have a good time.

People are not the same and gamblers have their own preferences and betting the desired amount that they want, and they can only do that in most of the crypto gambling sites. As the amount of money that you can bet in traditional fiat online casinos were fixed, it is really hard to control the money that you can spend in gambling. It can also increase your losses if you are continuously losing and dealing with that feature where you can limit the money that you can bet. Freedom in betting is what we want, and that's the reason why until now, there are a lot of people who are engaging in using crypto gambling sites rather that fiat.

I don't care about funds if where they came from because in practical terms  the most  popular is to how to handle it to grow with your own effort and I believe that it would be connected into a good services with benefits most especially if your capital is insufficient. So using someone else fund is good for your own choices to be a part on trading technology.

It is not the best option to trade using someone else's fund or to hire someone to trade for you. You should not work for other people, you are your own boss and you need to make yourself become successful in trading. When you trade someone else's fund, your success is not really your success and the profit that you've earned is not all yours. That's the main reason why I don't engage with that, I trade with my own will, I trade with my own assets and I trade with my own skills. Growing your money with your own effort and hardwork is the most satisfying and worth it that you will experience in trading industry.

One good news from this article of : https://cointelegraph.com/news/tim-draper-wants-to-invest-in-the-coming-crypto-renaissance-in-india

Quote
Billionaire investor and the winner of thousands of Bitcoins (BTC) in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s 2014 Silk Road auctions, Tim Draper, has set his sights on India’s nascent cryptocurrency industry.

On March 22, the venture capitalist tweeted that the Supreme Court’s recent reversal of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) ban on banks providing financial services to crypto companies will drive a “renaissance” for the country’s cryptocurrency sector.

India as the 2nd biggest in terms of population, being positive with crypto might do something positive in with their economy in the future.

What do you see years from now that India will achieve due to this declaration of lifting the ban of cryptocurrency?
I am from India and as you said india is 2nd biggest country in poplulation but the thing is almost 98% people in india don't know about cryptocurrency in rurel area they will not even belive about it , so i do not think it will put any big diffrence Smiley

I think this is a good way to start for India to engage in cryptocurrency, having almost 98% of population who are ignorant about cryptocurrency is not a hindrance for them to achieve mass adoption. The only thing that they should do is to become courageous to achieve development in promotion of cryptocurrency if they really want it. They have a huge population and I believe that it is easy for them to spread the good information and benefits of using cryptocurrency in their community and economy. The Supreme Court should really push this issue and crypto companies should keep on making changes so that people will trust the process of cryptocurrency.
1485  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do hackers steal huge amounts of bitcoins? on: July 25, 2020, 12:45:26 PM
Maybe, they steal bitcoin because they can't work so hard or their patience is not that strong to start an investment to engage in using bitcoin.

For me, I think that's the reason why they are doing those scamming and hacking incidents in most of the platforms where people are accessing their bitcoins. Those hackers are not effective in growing money with themselves and they want instant money. That's the reason why people are keep on hacking bitcoin because the definition of bitcoin for them is that it is a quick rich scheme where they don't need to deal with the market with their own manipulation, they will just have a bitcoin instantly.
1486  Other / Meta / Re: theymos, please automatic nuke them: a group of scammers. on: July 24, 2020, 06:32:10 PM
Please step in theymos. They have not yet stopped and kept reappearing.

Report and nuke them are not enough.

Minutes ago, I saw a new thread
Easy way to double your Bitcoins (tested myself), mekantos

They are just like a trash in this forum, they keep on doing that even if it is not pleasant to view.

Unnecessary, emoticons and words using all caps are their signature move, so that they can lure and attract people with their give aways.

Scammers will really do anything just to fool people and they will invest to it because they know that there are a lot of people who are unaware about those scams. It is just a shame that they keep on doing that even if they are being reported several times in this forum.
1487  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Coronavirus + Prisons on: July 24, 2020, 04:53:38 PM
Some inmates that have minor cases are being released in some advanced countries. while in Africa nobody cares about the prisoners if the virus will affect or kill them, not minding that they are also our loved ones trapped behind walls, who need help, because the virus has no boundaries,  I read about prisons in the amazon deriving funds from inmates to pay $4 for treatment or checkup before they will be issued with hand sanitizers and facemasks, but the government is supposed to make free provisions for them because they labour too with their sweat and energy.
We should'nt forget the prisoners they are human beings serving capital punishments. What could be the best healthcare provision for the prisoners?

Here in our country, that scenario is too suspicious, the authorities said that those high profile inmates died from Covid-19 and yet they don't release any proof of that report. They just release the news regarding that, and they just leave the public hanging with their so called "fake drama".

As a citizen of that country, we need to find the truth, we want to be aware of those events.

The public said that, "maybe they just used the Covid-19 diseases as an escape goat to really escape the prison".

I hope that our government is not hiding something from us and using the Covid-19 to do dubious things.

There is also a news here regarding those 18 positive cases in one of an urban city in this country. They said that 9 of them are inmates and the other 9 are personnel, the government should also be aware and focus on the happening inside the prisons as they are really congested their and the rate of transmission of the virus could possibly fast.
1488  Economy / Economics / Re: Loans in a Bitcoin world on: July 24, 2020, 04:22:21 PM
At the current adoption stage,  loans make no sense imo. Only in casinos or similar websites that need crypto, not fiat.

If you need 10k usd, why would you ask for a 1 btc loan? To sell that btc, convert to usd and then buy btc back to repay?

Volatility is so high that both parts would like to convert the value of loan to fiat, not btc.

That's a very risky thing to do if you will make loans. You should not rely and settle on the price of bitcoin as its volatility can change its price anytime depending on the market situation. When you will make a loan, make sure that you will loan in USD and not in bitcoin because it can increase the money that you need to pay, and that's worse. The price of bitcoin always change, it is either increase, stable, or decrease.

If Bitcoin had effectively replaced fiat, that should solve the issue of volatility as it doesn't have to be liquidated into other currencies (which would hypothetically no longer be in use).
I'm not an expert in the field, so I can't also explain the intricacies of how a Bitcoin powered economy would function, but it would definitely be different from what we have now.

In most of the discussions, bitcoin's volatility is the main problem that we are facing and we need to deal with that because we had no choice but to manipulate it properly in the market.

I don't think that even if people adopt bitcoin, it will just function just like the same with fiat.
1489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which website do you usually go to get your news and casino reviews? on: July 24, 2020, 03:52:52 PM

There's a new one which had been recently introduced.. https://www.btcgosu.com/
Ann thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5262141.0

This is much better compared to others that had already existed.

Will bookmark btcgosu website it's fresh in the eyes and informative.
Before, I just visit gambling thread in this website whenever I look for some new casino to compare when I'm planning in a casino or to see update in some existing casino, since we have many active gamblers or users here who sited their experiences and even show their winning payouts sometimes. BTCgosu, His website can be a summary if we don't have too much time to browse many casino threads and Ann thread of casinos here in the forum.

Most of us are really looking for a website where we can have a precise new updates towards gambling industry.

I did try to visit BTCgosu, and at a first glance, I can easily understand and i can easily be familiarized with this website. You can see their the online casinos that are present and they are listed from 1 to 10. You have your own will to choose a gambling casino that you want to see an update or you want to play. You can choose between play or read those reviews from other users, so that you will have some ideas regarding the quality of a certain gambling platform's service towards its customers.
1490  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does using trading Bots is more profitable than conventional trading? on: July 24, 2020, 03:21:09 PM
Whenever I do trading, I always do conventional trading and I found it much effective for me as I have a complete control of my assets and plans.

I just improve my good decision making skills so that I can minimize my losses and prevent mistakes. In using trading bot, you will not grow as a trader if you keep on relying on using that. It will not give you the amount of profit that you desire because your bot will not adjust depending on the market situation. In conventional trading, you are flexible and you can do the strategies that you think are much effective.

It also prevent you to have brokerage bias that can also benefit them while you trade. I don't settle in using trading bots, and I don't see them as a tool for learning how trading really works.
1491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Interesting research on Satoshi and his motives and actions on: July 24, 2020, 02:49:05 PM
As I am always telling that, who has created bitcoin he is more brilliant than our imagination.
His motives were to create a financial environment where we can enjoy manage our own funds without any third party involvement. We can say bitcoin give us financial freedoms, we are our own bank.

Inventing bitcoin where we can enjoy the money that we worked hard for is really an outstanding move towards financial freedom. Most of the transactions are needed to be private and these bitcoin transactions are the key for you to have that. As it is in a centralized economy, you are free to make a lot of transactions without the government's perception.

He worked hard at being anonymous; no reason to undo that.

He will really a legend towards digital currency. Satoshi Nakamoto made a coin that can secure our future depending on the market movement. He deserved a lot of credits
1492  Other / Meta / Re: Do you check the merit history of users before meriting them? on: July 23, 2020, 04:15:50 PM
The question is very simple: Do you do any checks before you award users with merits or not?  
Since I have very limited amount of merit to share, I gotta be careful who I give merit to.

If someone has a good posts regarding to a certain topic then, i will not hesitate to give him a merit if he deserves it.

I'm really not that selfish to merit someone if they truly deserved it. I don't usually check the profile of some users, sometimes I do that but not as always. Checking someone's posts before meriting them depends on you if you are not that confident about their replies or posts. If you see their thoughts very off-topic then don't send merits, that's very simple.
1493  Other / Politics & Society / Re: have you noticed what happens to the air? on: July 23, 2020, 02:02:27 PM
As I have said many times before, in order to save the planet and humanity, we must now give up using burnt minerals in favor of solar and wind energy. And the sooner we do that, the more generations can live on this planet.

The only thing that we need is to advertise this kind of contents, on how can we make our planet healthier and livelier again.

Most of the time, we lack of support from those environmental organizations and we are abusing our resources that's why when natural calamity comes, we are suffering the worse. We should engage to those organizations that focuses on conserving energies and maintaining the nature and the planet. It is not that hard to contribute just by a simple picking of litters and putting it into the trash cans. By that, we can somehow reduce all of the pollution, in the air, water, and land.
1494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Limited escrow service for building self discipline. on: July 23, 2020, 01:23:09 PM
Unfortunately, some gamblers have serious issues with that and can't recgonize the signs that they might be in financial troubles because of excessive gambling. In that situation escrow agent might help.

It really depends on us, some people are really into gambling and you can't stop them from gambling as it is the thing that entertains them. Escrow can really help those people who are in need to eliminate their addiction and manipulate their urge on gambling. By that, they can really maintain themselves as this will help them control and organize their assets so that they can't easily spend it into gambling and waste it.

If we really want to limit ourselves then we need to do it on our own and as far as I remember there are sites which lest you to lock the funds temporarily and also there are ideas available to lock your funds inside your wallet itself.

It is hard to do it with only yourself. Let's talk about the reality, a person can't instantly stop himself from gambling if he is addicted to it.

Maybe, little by little, he can minimize the money that he is going to spend so that his funds will not be wasted on those gambling platforms.
1495  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade by yourself on: July 23, 2020, 10:39:16 AM
it's always a great idea to trade by yourself, relying on signal is not a great idea as you can't learn anything by doing that. regardless of the result of your trade, you can learn something when you trade based on your choice instead of other people.
It can be a good idea because you will be having all the control but the requirement for getting ready to trade by ourselves must be very big. That is the reason not all the people are going for trading themselves. I mean when you are good at technical analysis and fundamental analysis then you can go for trading yourself.

Otherwise it is always good to go for hiring highly professional trader to take care of your capital. There are a lot of professional trader for offering such services for some fees. But, the outcome is always questionable because only you can trade for your capital more carefully and all others may not care to get you consistent profits.
I think the real reason why there are traders who are dependable on bots or in signals is because they are too lazy to learn technical and fundamental analysis. So basically they want to trade in easy way where they will not study and research about this analysis. Many traders fall for it because of they think that trading is quick rich scheme where if they rely on opinions and trading bots, they think that they can make profit from it but all of them are wrong and all of them keep incurring losses.

But what is the sense of trading if they don't know how manual trading works? If they keep on relying on those bots and don't want to learn technical or fundamental analysis with themselves, they will surely suffer as they keep on trading in the market. Being lazy is not an excuse, if you really want something, you will exert an effort to become good at it. I learned trading only with myself because I don't have any friends or someone I know that could help me learn about trading. As I stayed here in this forum and read a lot of information, day by day, I tried to apply all the knowledge that I learned. There are a lot of people here in this forum that enlightened me about the essence of technical analysis because it is much easier to use, IMO.
1496  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID-19's "New Normal" is Creating Opportunities in Crypto on: July 23, 2020, 05:12:46 AM
You have highlighted the best things in the lockdown so far though it's killing people; I've earned 13 merits so far during the lockdown and it's a great achievement for me.. Angry Angry Grin Grin Angry I've made lesson plans to extend the teaching of blockchain to my neighborhood when the lockdown is lifted which I will definitely do once it's lifted. I think these are the two things I've achieved so far, hoping for more to come.

Teaching blockchain to your friends is really good as you are really contributing to the mass adoption of crytocurrencies.

I already did that with my family, I taught them first the benefits and advantages of bitcoin and how do it works in the market. They are really interested about it once I introduced it to them. I'm very proud of myself that I did that, I provide them the opportunity to learn about cryptocurrency and blockchain.

Maybe true.
There's a lot of opportunities here, if we just have all the knowledge in cryptoworld. As for me, i began to be very active here from the start of lockdown and home quarantine days until now and also sell some items online for our daily living.

We should not waste the opportunity to learn, there are a lot of people who aren't given a chance to engage in to that kind of technology.

This quarantine is the best time for us to spread the knowledge about the cryptoworld. Keep on hustlin' @Heart18.

Its a strange time, yet, quite perfect for crypto jobs like bounty campaigns to earn,  trade and invest.

As we are staying at home during this quarantine, and we still don't have any idea when this will end. We should engage in crypto related things and learn to earn some profits with this cryptocurrency activities.
1497  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gold Medalist Bought Bitcoin on: July 23, 2020, 03:32:06 AM
This is a good exposure for cryptocurrency specifically to bitcoin. This could bring little by little a good market for bitcoin and could add volatility in the future since btc had becoming expensive now and that it stabilize a bit.

Celebrities and famous people are really a huge part on helping us promote the use of bitcoin globally. We all know that if someone is popular, he can easily influence other people who supports his career. But I don't think that bitcoin does have any movement in its price right now, because it is clearly obvious that the market is silent.

However, good news like this had also been contradicted by the scammers issue using bitcoin to scam others. Hope to see their activities to stop or minimize to so that many will going to trust bitcoin. These scammers around is not really good for bitcoin or cryptocurrency.

Probably, this can possibly happen.

Did you hear about those high profile twitter accounts that was hacked and baited other people that they will double their bitcoin?

There are a lot of scamming and hacking activities that are happening in those social media platforms that we are using, most commonly in Twitter. We should be aware about these scenarios.

1498  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trade & investment is getting harder and harder. on: July 22, 2020, 12:46:13 PM
Investment in crypto is not that hard but the perception of investors is the problem, crypto Investment is something that will take time to mature and produce profit but crypto investors are not ready to wait, they want it very fast and it doesn't work that way,

If perception is the problem, that's just easy to improve and learn because that depends on us, traders. If you are courageous to improve in trading and determined to have a huge profit, you should know how to deal with the reality in the market. I'm sure that you have a background about cryptocurrency investments, by that, you just need to be patient on the results.

Trading needs constitency, I don't believe trading is hard or getting harder each day, all you need is just to be focus and be consistent, the more effort you put in, the more income and experience you are likely to gain.

For me, this isn't enough for you to grow in trading. Sometimes you need to take a break and reflect on your experiences and mistakes. Being consistent is not the only thing that you need to do, that can also lead you to more losses. When you feel like it is getting harder and harder each day, therefore, you are not improving.

To make it better, you need to adapt and adjust depending in the market situation.
1499  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk posting etiquette on: July 22, 2020, 12:09:24 PM
This doesn't happen too often, but still it annoys me when I see people replying to my posts without quoting me.
It's true, especially if threads have lots of replies. Simply posting will make your post looks a bit off-context, and readers have to guess who you want to discuss with, OP or anyone else posted previously.
It is not only those off-context posts that I'm getting uncomfortable with, but also those cliche statements that they are saying over and over again even if there's a statement like that already. Same thoughts and same ideas are got me annoyed, and that only means that they are not reading the whole discussion because they still reply with the same concepts.
1500  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The real education are not taught at school!! on: July 22, 2020, 11:38:45 AM
Education is important, it will improve your knowledge and yourself but of course you must not stop from that. Keep on learning, and always have the best experience because for me that’s also a good lesson in life. Real education will begin only if you allow yourself to adopt it and to go beyond your limit, this is a best way to succeed so don’t be afraid to fail.

The best thing about education is if you know how to apply it in life, if you know how to apply it in any kinds of situations. In terms of education, we have different mental capacities and it depends on us if you will maximize your ability to learn and adapt in your environment.

It is true that experience will give you lessons in life, and making mistakes will make you prevent that same mistakes again.

So if you fail, don't hesitate to stand again because making mistake means that you are growing.

The value of education comes alive when a person gets affected by obstacles while travelling towards his destination and when he thinks to make the pathway better, so that the next person coming behind won't suffer.

In the midst of trials, education is powerful because that will make you become wise in making decisions and prevent those ignorant mindset about reality.

Education will enlighten you about the truth about living and your surroundings.
