I'm very sorry to see that you are also banned and that you will leave this forum.
You was well respected member in our local community.
Did you find out reason for your permaban?

This is the post that was reported:

11 Signs that everything is going to be ok. :sunglasses:🤘

1. Singapore just announced it has no intention of making crypto illegal.
2. The market is still 3x what it was 6 months ago
3. Australia's big 4 banks have no intention of barring people from buying crypto.
4. Banks are starting to use crypto for cross border payments.
5. The stock markets are down $1 trillion this week, crypto markets are doing better.
6. Bitcoin ATM installations are on the rise.
7. Singapore airlines wants to use block chain tech for it's loyalty program
8. Europe’s Largest Utilities company is ready and willing to Sell Renewable Energy to Cryptocurrency Miners.
9. Bittrex about to reopen user sign ups and add USD trading option.
10. CFCT chair declares that the aim is to protect the consumer with a "Do no Harm" approach to regulation.
11. Everything is on sale

What the news says and what the news means can be 2 completely different things.
While many people may feel that they got burnt buying bitcoin in December, the reality is that this is still a normal correction. No one wants to ban crypto, Tier 1 Countries have no desire to ban crypto, the world is still preparing for mass adoption, banks are not preventing people from buying crypto, big institutions are using crypto daily, the SEC aim to protect consumers against fraud in crypto and the crypto market is still larger than what it was 6 months ago.

What does all this mean?
A lot of the news in recent times have painted a rather grim picture of the crypto space - there's a lot of FUD (fear uncertainty and doubt) mixed in with fake news and rumours that fuel negative sentiment.
Take everything into consideration from a holistic point of view rather than focussing on the scary bits.

The one bit of news that needs clarity is the fear that banks are helping to 'ban' crypto by preventing people from buying crypto - this is simply not true.
Banks are stopping people from buying crypto using credit cards because frankly, it doesn't make sense that people use credit to buy other money. The banks also need to mitigate credit risk and fraud by taking this stance.

So now that you know, doesn't the future seem brighter and so much more exciting?

Remember, it's always darkest before the dawn.

One of my Fb friends shares this informations and personal ideas .. I've read some of this news but i forgot the link..But you can search the news by using the key words..

It was kind of meme back then, lol

Guess I should've post picture instead text

Still, as someone from Croatian board said, bans like these are killing mosquitos with A-bomb

You are well respected member in our local Croatian community, and I really hope you will accept wish from many local members and start ban appeal.
It's sad to see that such great members on the forum, like you, are giving up and leaving.

I don't know if we should ban copypasta meme or not but it doesn't feel right tbh.

[LoyceV]

I don't know if we should ban copypasta meme or not but it doesn't feel right tbh.

I'd say: when in doubt: don't ban.

Mod like me doesn't have the ability to ban accounts. But yeah, I always ask for an opinion when there's a confusing report or something.

[pugman]

People shouldn't be banned because of memes :/

At least give the dude a sig ban, if not an unban? A small price to pay for salvation.

Plz don't ban me, I quote the almighty thanos.

A post a year old should be given a temp ban or a warning. Talk about being a Nazi

[Quickseller]

I am not sure that post was even on topic for the thread it was posted in.

My issue with the post is it was posted as text without any kind of attribution. In my experience, most memes are shared as pictures so they can be quickly shared. Most bounty campaigns have minimum post length requirements and posting the post as a picture would not get the OP credit for the post. Attributing the post as a meme might otherwise disqualify the OP from receiving credit if his posts were looked at closely. The other post, posted a few hours earlier very clearly indicated the writing was not his.

When I said meme, I meant it was all over the net back then...Google search for 1st sentence returns 1340 hits for me
But if you search through my post history (without malicious intent as Bill gator once did  ) I think its mostly helping
people with mining, short one line talk (that Bill Gator likes to point out, as we don't do it all) and XRP shilling
(which offends many, but hey, I worked as a programmer in bank long ago, I'm guilty for first croatian online banking application)

[hilariousandco]

I don't really agree that that post was a 'meme' but rather content that wasn't properly sourced or quoted and seeing as it's seemingly a one-off I unbanned the account and applied a sig ban instead.

Great news!
Branko,  Croatian community is very happy to see you back!
Now, we hope to see Regulus back after almost half year of waiting.
