It would be a clusterfuck obviously. First and for most it would be something paranormal, the whole world will be talking about it. It would be as if God himself eliminated something from the world. It would be as if China suddenly disappeared.

Second there will be a lot of depressed people, people who lost everything, and possibly some suicides.

I want stability. Hopefully with the student protestors refusing to step on the American flag, and calling out the Iranian government means peace, and thus a stable Bitcoin price.

Re: How do manage portfolio efficiently while having a full time job?

I just got myself a new laptop, thinking that it would be a good investment if I carry it around work, so during the down time I can come here. Keep me more active in the crypto world.
This is the key to make good money in the crypto market. the more you spend time in the market, the more you learn about it and the more knowledge you have the more chances you have of buying right crypto currency on right time and selling it off when the rates are high to secure decent profit. If your laptop is not big in size, then do carry it with you during work and when you are free, visit your profile.

Unfortunately my strategy hasn't been working too well. I need to step up my game.

Re: What are some not so obvious things that damage a country's economy?

Even small thing can damage a country's economy. I think even littering can destroy the economy. There are some people in my country who throw garbage to the river and when rainy season comes, water that cannot flow smoothly eventually causes flooding and indirectly inhibits  economic activity in that area.

Yeah, I see a lot of garbage collected by floating booms, from people throwing garbage all over. If that time, money and effort went to better things that would make society run smoother, such as fixing roads, then it would better the economy.

Things that damage the economy indirectly.

For example I feel that fast food and an unhealthy lifestyle leads chronic health problems that probably affects the economy not just monetarily.

Of course we can't just deny these people care, just promote a healthier lifestyle.

What are other things that we can change that will affect the economy in a positive way?
What we can change? As you stated, one reason is fast food, can you ban it? I doubt anyone is willing to do that. We are full of bad habits they may affect our life. Our country's economy is damaged when country don't have good doctors and you have to go in different country to cure disease, that's a huge cost and imagine on a lot of people, that affects economy seriously. Also the fact that we humans can't stand without war, damages economy too and in this proposal I mean that every country spends huge amount of money on military services. Why is that money spent? For what? We can live in piece and never own military which would save a lot of money but no, we can't.

I don't believe in banning, but rather education. Education about the branch of consequences. From health problems that affect the quality of life of someone, and how the lost productivity, the care cost, how all that will affect the economy.

Social media and other addictive Internet sites - people are constantly glued to them, even on their work, which decreases their productivity. Social media also cause depression in many people, because they not only procrastinate, but also constantly compare their life to others, which leads to dissatisfaction. Also social media are good at spreading lies and fakes, which can have negative effects on the economy - anti-vax panic, anti-GMO, political manipulation and so on.

Sure enough, social media is able to change one's perspective only from a writing. There are so many countries in my news that hoaxes are scattered and this has an impact on all fields not only in the economy and severely able to trigger propaganda.

But not everything from social media can aggravate the economy, social media also has a positive side. As is now everywhere ubiquitous in technology, so the development of ecomerce is increasing and the number of online transactions also increases. Many mid-level businesses rely on social media as a medium for their sales or promotions.

You can argue that the time not wasted going out to get food, or going out to buy something gives people more time and mental energy to use to better themselves. Of course how others have noted that depends on the person. Are they going to use that time to get on social media, or are they going to use it to study up on things that will benefit their life, health, etc.

This is exactly the kind of example that I was looking for. Things that affect the economy indirectly. That depression that many have due to social media, that leads to bad decisions, lack of productivity, mental health issues, more doctors, more money, and so on.

I love Bitcoin, but it's not perfect. With the price going up and down, sure some where able to pay their hospital bills, but at the same time there are those who were hurt when it went back down. And simply saying, "They were stupid" is just a way to make one feel better about their loss.

Re: Is NEO still worth investing in?

on 17/08/2018, 08:13:02 UTC
I bought around 60 Neos a couple of days ago because the price was cheaper than it has been in over a year. Just like Bitcoin is popular because it's like the brand name. Neo is also popular because it's a brand name, the most popular coin in China. And China is a huge market. I just think it has more positives in terms of future potentials than negatives.

I don't agree that nebiews, and even old timers should not participate in bounty, since it's an extra way of getting more crypto, and that's what your logic was all about. You suggest to buy, in fact common sense tells me that those who bought with fiat are by far more likely to sell in this market than those who got coins through campaigns.

Saw some people getting upset about the new house rules. I don't think they will even affect the majority of our members considering most are pretty nice and friendly. There was just a rather unpleasant dispute in #general and people got really immature with what was being said. We don't need hatred or unfriendliness in our community, that is all these rules aim to keep out.

Feel free to joke and have fun in chat as we always do, just be nice  Smiley


The vast majority of folk in the discord chat are both very friendly and helpful,personally I've enjoyed chatting to everyone in discord Smiley

As with everything in life there's always a tiny minority who seem to want to stuff things up or be disruptive.

I didn't see on Discord those people upset by the rules. They must really be just a few, which in a community of over 1000 people is basically nothing.

I can't imagine anyone really being too upset by the pinned rules, since it's basically about not being too sexual in ones speech, and to not be hateful and respect others in the community. These are very reasonable things that even someone with a filthy mouth would understand.

They might be, but it's something that we will never be sure of because part of the government is secret. The US government ones did experiments, or sterilized some poor black people, and had to pay a lot of money after they were caught. So who's to know if they might used Crypto to screw people.

Re: Do you like Music?

See I kind of have trouble investing into cons specifically for one thing. In this case, sure many people love music, and getting music is not a problem at all. They can go to YouTube, iTunes and so on. Would they really need a crypto dedicated towards music? That's an extra complication. And if so, why not use Bitcoin or any other crypto. A social media platform is not going to be enough.

I try to spend as much time as I can researching stuff, but I'm at a point where I just find it really hard to keep going. At this moment as I type this my body is full of stress hormones or body chemicals because I'm so overwhelmed by basically the "mess" of information. I wish I could take some attention deficit pills.

It's important in the sense that it builds activity around the coin and the announcement thread. People are constantly bumping the thread, which causes more people visiting the Ann section to come across it. So it can help bring more exposure, even simply by having the Ann thread show up more in the front page.
