There’s nothing impossible in the crypto space. But the hype is very much high. Don’t be deceived. It’s a bullish trend for BTC, and it’s making the rounds on most investment blogs and channels.

I didn’t expect the pump to last this long. I am a long term holder, having experienced the 2018, bullish and bearish trend, I felt the same was going to happen here. That’s just a reminder that market trend could be a difficult art to bet on.

While it is good to know you have compiled some good skills for trading. I would like to say that success in trading especially short term trading comes with not just luck when you want to be consistent with getting gains.
I would advise you gain experience in looking not just at the charts, but at the external effects that have influence on the market of each coin.
Bitcoin is totally out of the game here for me. That because it has a lot of these external effects which could easily influence its price.

Generally, be close to information. Verifiable early information. And have guts.

My thoughts on the effect of the using bitcoin in this; Every advertising is good advertising.

I posted about this days back.

It doesn’t make much sense trusting someone on the internet just because they seem to be familiar. That’s an easy scam, Newbies fall for. Accounts get hacked, sold, and people change. Always take precautions and cut down the risks to the minimum.

The basic market price determinants are demand and supply. Scarcity doesn’t directly affect the market value, it affects the supply which reflects in the market price. Demand also has a role, and except there’s a reciprocal increase in demand, bitcoin halving wouldn’t boost the bitcoin price.

And to end the thread (still something new comes up).
Moral of the story to all newbies;

Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins.

Secondly, put in some effort in research whenever using cryptocurrency.

Creating a distinction isn’t much of a good idea. And that’s exactly what this would do. The main is to ensure all good posts are merited, that could be done by increasing number of merit sources, and more specifically by ensuring all merit sources understand that they have a ‘JOB’ to do and it’s not just a medal.

It still had to be in US dollars. Oh please!

You only get to have 777 merit score once (except theymos decides to) so it’s a magic merit number. Enjoy it still it goes higher.
I was thinking, what are some of the ways to make use of this on a Sunday morning? Probably, going to be a lucky day for you.


Edit;

I think it would be great if the ranking system was tagged on angel numbers instead of round up numbers. Ranking up to member  at 11, full member at 111, sr member at 222, hero at 555 and legendary at 777 (instead of 775) would be cool.

Since there’re boards for less important discussions, creating that for lightning network shouldn’t be questioned, it would be great to have a LN board. It’s quite unfortunate that it’s taking a long time, early discussions about LN could have been easier to follow up.

The quote feature is best used to highlight/stress a specific idea you want to post about or reply to.


There are other uses for bounty hunters in bounty reporting threads. I have seen Some campaign managers demand that from hunters.

I think this should count as a new addition to historical change in Badge. (Although it is yet to be fully implemented)


The link for ‘Rules for serious discussion and Ivory tower is wrong. You might want to correct it to; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2722359.0.


Important to note that, Bitcointalk.org wasn’t a day’s job, most of the changes made resulted from ‘in-use’ challenges and from complaints from forum users. Most had to go through the polls, and some others were solutions suggested by the forum community, showing it’s a community decision. So if you’re new (or old) to the forum, you should appreciate the effort of older users and Theymos (who single handedly did the coding and Ann, except that done by Satoshi). Finally, the new software development would depend on lessons learnt here; community effort.

Had to go on strike twice in the last decade here. It’s common in most developing countries.


Being healthy might be ‘expensive’, being ill is expensive. You just have to choose your expensive. Most terminal disease can be prevented by healthy lifestyles, which might seem strenuous but it becomes your lifestyle in the long run.


I wasn’t able to talk about all. Low bp is usually associated with drugs and drug misuse and already know medical conditions, as well as pregnancy. Pregnant moms are advised to check their bp regularly which is a part of antenatal.

IT pros are everywhere on Bitcointalk. But there’re dedicated boards for helps.
I’ll suggest you post this on beginners and help board. That’s where you get pros visiting regularly and would most probably find a lot more help.

When you talk about official verified accounts on a platform where privacy is pivotal, then it’s not much of a good idea. Facebook-like platforms would welcome that idea gladly.

You only get one body, the way you treat it today goes along way to determine your health in the long term. What if you were allowed to have just one vehicle your whole life? You'd have to take care of it, change the oil, filters, tires, decide what fuel source is best and a lot more. This might seem like the best comparison, but cars have easily replaceable parts.
These are a few health tips. I added some links so you could read more about your health.

16. Lifestyle Modification is the First line of treatment for most common diseases. If you knew the complications of diabetes, hypertension or most common disease, you take healthy lifestyle changes serious.


17. You often will feel normal (asymptomatic) with high blood pressure. 1/3 of people living with hypertension don’t know it. Most people find out incidentally, during check ups.

19. Teeth are considered as luxury bones and must be treated golden. Brushing your teeth twice daily would save you thousands of dollars in the future.

20. The immune system is an incredibly complex organization of cells that communicates readily to destroy anything deemed hostile within the body. The immune system explains why/how vaccines are supposed/designed to work, why allergies complications differs, and why transfusions/transplants procedures are hard to successfully pull off.


21. Allergies may fade out overtime. When exposed to a non-threatening level of an allergy for a long enough time, the body decides that it's not really a threat anymore.


22. Get Sleep. Psychosis could result from not having slept over a long period of time. A few extra hours of sleep might be the solution to a psychological disturbance.

23. There is a vestigial remnant of the uterus located in the prostate (in males). called the prostatic utricle. It is a duct that leads nowhere.  It sometimes has some remote endometrium in it which produces one drop of blood every 28 days.

These are health tips, and shouldn’t be taken as Diagnosis or treatment. ALWAYS SEE YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.


Yes, I’m a doctor. I’ll do well to add more tips. Please do add to the list when you can. Got some tips/inspiration from https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ca3ije/doctors_of_reddit_what_is_something_that_you_wish/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


"treat your body like Cubans treat their 1950s VW beetles"

Choices made most times by parents/Guardians who do little or no good research. It’s would have been a long solved issue (Vaccination being good or bad/when/who should be vaccinated) if these parents decide to do their job. Unfortunately, it’s a Choice that would affect someone else’s life and not the parent’s. It would be easy if kids were able to make some decisions themselves, and face the consequences that results.

I have to say that this is a classic example of what it means to ‘Be your own bank’.
I put much thoughts to it after reading your post, and remembering instances where I foolishly lost my crypto. Good to see the words you used in your topic caption, and good to see this on Beginners & Help board, because If you decide to ‘Be your own bank’, you’ve taken up a huge responsibility.
It comes with a whole lot of benefits (which is very much discussed), but it’s best people learn that there’re consequences when you fail in your responsibilities as a ‘Bank’.

You’ve given just little or no information that could help in deciding what theme would be best. There’re other things to consider other than that it would be used for blogging. Who would be reading your blogs, what plugins would it support and you’ll like a simple IU with the most suitable options.
