O.k. Finally, I am caught up in this thread, and I followed through with my personal resolution to read all of the interviews (does not mean that I understood anything that I may or may not have attempted to read... hahahahahaha).
Below are all of my responses to interviews and some other points that have been made in this thread as of the time of this post.
Hopefully zasad@ does not conclude that I am cluttering this thread too much by making a variety of responses... and surely, after I have read through the interviews up-to-date, I feel a bit more prepared to read future interview responses and perhaps to attempt to get more out of them (as was my previous comment that I believe that it can be more difficult to get the flavor of a written interview, as compared with some kind of live or "in person" interview - and probably I am guilty of boring members to near death too when they try to read through lengthy responses that come from me from time to time).
Probably, too, I am going to tentatively agree with zasad@'s presumption that some advantages could come from a written format - at least in terms of members ability to link and also to customize their response in ways that might not be as easy to accomplish if the interviews were live and oral.
oops methinks i may of stepped in something
lol. I got into bitcoin early, spent too early, and now I am set for major expenses but hurting for daily funds. :/
I spent a decade here trying to educate people about bitcoin, and the danger of scammers; I didn't use this forum to make money.
Would you consider writing some different questions for me?
I merited this particular post because I believe that it is good that you are willing to a customized interview, but really, like
zasad implied here (and some of his other posts clarifying the interview process), each of us has an ability customize the amount that we answer or do not answer the general, all applicable, questions.
The reality of the matter is that even long time forum members are NOT necessarily going to know other forum members, even if they have an extensive history, so the questions allow each interviewed member to frame the answers in his/her own way, make a spin or be obscure in regards to various responses.
Implicitly you are correct Vod, in regards to some preference that zasad might tailor some of the interview specifically to you and maybe not have too many generic questions.. but even when I was going through my interview responses, I found that I could just mold the answers into the area that I would prefer to discuss. Another thing could be that if you do the interview with the more generic questions, then some things that you say within your responses (or even some of your lack of responses) could trigger a follow up, even though I have not come across very much followup, beyond merely some very superficial questions to prior interviewees.
Quickseller (Legendary)I would also offer more paid ranks. The copper membership allows someone to be amember and users should have the ability to buy a paid membership that gives the features of a full member, and maybe a senior member (such as the signature privileges, posting frequently privileges and
being able to post in the ivory tower)."
I did NOT know that there was any section of the forum that would be deemed as "ivory tower", which presumes that regular/normie members would not have access to such section of the forum.
Is this true, or merely a figure of speech coming from Quickseller?
I was even asked to pay several hundred thousand dollars for an interview

hahahaha
Mr. moneybags.

I am sure that you refused to pay any higher than $50k, which would only be reasonable since you only paid me that amount.

..... I registered here for a shitcoin airdrop.
I read yours.. and
holy moley!!!!!!!!
..... And the Wall Observer thread is an invaluable source of the pulse as to where btc is going (although its an acquired taste, and bring eye bleach)
I used to visit the wall observer before but I didn't see it as "an invaluable source of the pulse as to where btc is going". Most of the conversations I read every time I go there were small talks. Maybe I just don't get it yet and I still have a lot of learning to do. I'll be lurking there again.
I understand some of the criticisms of the WO thread, including accusations of circle jerking, both in the sense of merit sharing and also circle jerking in the sense of bitcoin maximalism. I also understand some of the criticisms of the off-topicness and just getting through a flood volume of posts, especially during periods of relatively higher BTC price volatility...so there may be some ways to get some perusing advantage/utility from Loyce's
wall observing perusal tool that he mentioned and linked above.
So, sure perhaps the WO thread is NOT going to be suitable for everyone. I believe that I am lured to that thread so much because of the combination of the ability to have some common allegiances when it comes to beating upon shitcoins and shitcoiners, to be able to speak and post pretty freely (sure, I am personally part of the volume problem... I admit

) and just to randomly be able to see what might be going on in the macro-news space, too, without necessarily being off topic - while at the same time just skipping posts that might devolve into off-topic subject matter that is not very appealing to my own personal preferences, and I think with any relatively "open topic" thread there are going to be some ideas that are posted, from time to time, that feel personally repulsive or revolting - but such posts still might generally be tolerated because there seems to be a bit of an anything goes tolerance in that thread, except for unduly pumpening or shillening shitcoins - and even a bit of moderate pumpening of shitcoins tends to be tolerated (probably because even some of the shitcoin pumpening does end up helping to assess some kind of a pulse on what is going on in broader cryptolandia that might also end up having some indirect, and even some times direct, impacts on kingdaddy).
