It surely is an indication of massive FUD. But the way things are going who wouldn't panic? I would panic if I had some bitcoins right now and reading this might even make me sell considering that these guys are early investors and so must have so much experience... For new investors i don't think this is a good time to buy. For me I would just sit, watch and hope that things get better. But isn't taking risks part of this?

I had to read over and over to understand what your post is all about but i still don't get it. I don't know if you're angry about legendary members having multiple accounts?
Or are you angry about inexperienced campaign managers because you joined a scam ICO?
Or maybe you have been scammed? It's good to air ones grievances but if no one understands you, how is the problem going to be solved?

A thousand activities for a merit doesn't sound so motivating to me or anyone without merit for that matter and  I have seen certain top members that hasn't reached that mark. For me i think the problem is that some unmerited members are yet to come up with good posts and some who has unfortunately go unnoticed and when such posts are not noticed it doesn't get merited. I think the merit sources should go over threads from time to time to see these posts in order to merit them.

But it's decentralized right? why will all the sites on the internet say its decentralized when its not? If this true then I have believed a stereotypes all these while. But wouldn't it be cool to be if had people we could hold responsible if a transaction didn't get passed the block chain?

If only there was a way one could easily find an escrow easily than looking for names on a link that certain people may not get unless given by somebody you has it and that somebody has to see your thread requesting for such information, if not well.

I'm thinking what if It is made as easy as identifying someone with red trust by simply clicking on their profile? I don't know how, its just my thought like certain members will have it attached to their profile like the copper membership, boldly written.

For me I feel its better to stick around learn as much as possible I:e gaining enough knowledge by frequently reading through threads before starting any thread as newbie or beginners.

Because starting a thread for inexperienced newbies is difficult and that's when they tend to plagiarisms

Did you really check the name of the board before you posted this?, where you expecting a bunch of newbies that are too busy trying to get merits to provide you with the help you needed??
Seems to me like you are waiting for a plane at a train station.

I think the replies you got below your thread must have provided with all the explanations and the help that you need.
Go over the rules again if you must, know the dos and don'ts abide by the rules and you may be back to the rank you were before September hopefully.

I knew it was only a matter of time before other countries joins In the steps of the united States simply because its the united States.

Its good they didn't ban the trade anyway, its only a warning to those who trade in bitcoins. Works for me.

Its easier to make a post and having it deleted than actually making a post (if you get what I mean). Don't know what you're trying to post mate just make sure its got quality

"Learn to use the hook before you go fishing". I don't know how long you have been on this forum but a lot has changed here so I feel you should stick around, learn,make researches and be enlightened before you go into stuff like that. Believe me it's important.

Cointelegraph reports that 160,000 Ethereum were sold over the past ten days by ICOs. https://cointelegraph.com/news/trustnodes-icos-sold-160-000-ethereum-over-the-past-10-days/amp

Panic about the drop in price of Ethereum and the whloe crypto space, caused most projects to sell of their acquired funds and switch to the more stable fiat, this also deepens the drop in price.
Hopefully with the rise over the past 24 hours, more investors and projects would be encouraged to hold.

Since a user has to expect merit from other users, it's most times to their moods,
I see a lot of quality posts go buy without recognition.
Merit sources also helps, as not every user with smerits go to all threads looking for quality posts, most just stick to their preferred threads.
Some even merit their other accounts.
There is no better alternative system, (for now).

I would be careful to include that next time, as its becoming more rampant.

The value has dropped significantly I'm the past few hours.
And the current bear trend seems to be getting worst.

I refer to "investors" as contributors usually, as the community comes together to make the project successful.
But pre established currencies like bitcoin, can be referred to as an investment.

DAG, Direct Acyclic Graph is the most unique, in my opinion.
And it's also the most neutral.

It is currently so close to hitting that support, and might even drop further.
The bearish market is lingering for too long, let's just hope cryptocurrencies survive the onslaught.

The though seems fantastic, but with recent drops in price over the past few hours. It could be a future occurrence.

I don't think there's a particular relationship between USDT anew bitcoin.
The amount of USDT in circulation appears to have an effect on price of cryptocurrencies, it's not a steady pattern, but the higher amount of USDT created rises the price
