Tbh, if someone is selling an account above Jr, then I wouldn't buy it.
There is no point for someone to sell such a high-level account now that the merit system is in play.
A member-level account can earn the same amount as its sale price in a month of sig campaigns.
A legendary account can earn $500 per week or more... look at those Chip Mixer signature payouts! They're insane!
For someone to ask for a mere B0.15 for a legendary account... you already know it's too good of a deal. There must be something wrong with the account -- like the account has been red trusted or hacked or something.
Well, considering I have literally ZERO intention of monetizing my presence here on BitcoinTalk.org via this or any other account, I didn't really think of the cost parameters. The seller set a price and I agreed to it; and frankly, I thought $1,600 was fairly precious for an account I was going to use for educational & social purposes.
How does a chip mixer make money?
If it weren't for all of your merits and everyone believing ^, I honestly wouldn't believe a word you just said XD.
No one buys a LEGENDARY level account for "educational and social purposes." You can post as much as you want at the Jr level. There's literally no difference between a Jr account and a Legendary account when it comes to posting (except for IVORY tower posts.)
But then again, anyone can look into Ivory Tower, they just can't post unless they're above some rank (idk what, but I'm dang sure it's not legendary).
That said, you were keen enough to lookup the ranks and picked Legendary, I'm not going to believe that you aren't aware of signature campaigns or the Chip Mixer spam.
I honestly am leaning toward you wanting to buy a Legendary account for some kind of monetary purposes. You're not going to drop 1.6k USD on bitcointalk.org just for
prestige.
But whatever. I'll believe your words because the top peeps believe them. And so, you were buying a legendary-level account just to hang out on bitcointalk and learn... mhm.
