Due to excessive garbage-posting, you now need 1 merit to be a Jr Member. All existing Jr Members who didn't meet the requirement were demoted. Also, newbies can no longer set any signature or personal text.

Note that this does not affect:
 - PM rate-limiting, which is based purely on activity & whitelisted status.
 - "You must wait ___ seconds...", which is based purely on activity & whitelisted status.
 
But it does affect:
 - Voting in polls
 - Patroller jurisdiction
 - The "ignore newbie PMs" option.
 - "The body is omitted from this email because the sender is a newbie."
 - BBCode limits
 - Reduced-accuracy link filtering
 - Board restrictions

Many of these limitations can be eliminated with a copper membership. In particular, you can set a signature at Member level if you wear a copper membership.

One reason that I was hesitant to do this before is that there are an awful lot of newbie restrictions, and I don't want the forum to be unwelcoming to good newbies. I'll think about tying some of those to activity instead of rank in the future.
 
With help from DdmrDdmr, I just added 36 new merit sources, which should help newbies achieve the requirement. But if you're incapable of posting anything worthwhile, then you will never rank up, and you shouldn't: this isn't the forum for you. 

Is it because you sell to early or you start late here? If it is because you sell early, i think its normal for most of people here. Everyone might sell too early when they first got their coins.

I firmly believe in bounty campaign and crypto currency. Although market still struggling to stabilize market value. But it doesn't mean crypto is collapsing, so the technique here is keep joining new project and continue doing bounty campaign.

In the event that you offer it at this moment while their esteem is goind down, it will be counter gainful. You will lose increasingly in the event that you offer it at a lower esteem.

Investing in either any of the crypto currency or any of the project which is related to that of the ICOs is a very good thing to do and that this will surely help you in having some very good earning at the end of the day.

I think many people do not have patience. The crypto market is something of patience business. The more patience you hold the more gain you collect. The increasing trend is investors panic sell their altcoins when the market goes down.

Yes i am totally agree without about the figures. There is no point holding thousands of dollars worth of an altcoin if no one is trading it and there is very low chance of exiting your current position in the market.

Honestly, I don't have enough experience in trading because I am new here in bitcoin. But based on other user of bitcoin, trading is very risky especially for those who have enough knowledge about trading.

Lots of new investors are scared to start getting into crypto.  I think the best way to encourage new investors is to educate them, and provide others with good resources for their own research. 

My experience is a little weird and funny. At one point, I bought some Altcoin coins at a little price, and thought that its price would increase somewhat. But after a month, its price was reduced.

I think now is the good time to buy but not the best because I think we didn't reach the whole panic on market. May be you have to wait after the weekend or buy it now before the weekend.

See the current coin prices all in red and it is better to wait until the coins are green or selling price values. Current coin prices going up and down very quickly so you must monitor the crypto market every day.

In my opinion, the cryptocurrencies in all the world is almost  at early stage. However there are more and more people accessing bitcoin, but the world has 7 billions people, just a few number of people know about Bitcoin.

The amount you put should be the amount you can afford to lose, the problem with some investors is they think of a high profit that they can achieve instantly which would already make them unrealistic.

I think that your situation is common in the crypto world. I will hold on to the coins if I have confidence in them. The recent price dip is due to the fuds, the market will recover once the storm is clear.

Well it is nice to find people with strong beliefs. This attitude is always good for business. Same for bitcoin since many are holding it post like this could just strengthen investors to keep on believing it and may not be freak out easily by nonsense FUDs.

There are different situations. Of course, if a person is a bus driver, a worker at a factory  etc., then doing a crypt for a full day means for him to give up the main job. As a rule, he has little knowledge about the crypt and this is a big risk.

Trading or investing in cryptocurrency is a psychological war against yourself. Bitcoin price is rapidly going down since the trend of market is volatile. We must expect that it will fluctuate.

Right now many projects,Bounties,airdrops are scam and many people are starting to become a scammers to protect yourself on scammers dont believe what a person you did not know saids because maybe that person is trying to scam you and when you are participating in projects bounties airdropa etc. Study it and explore

No its not too late to invest in bitcoin right now because right niw bitcoin value is low you will still have a chance to invest in bitcoin maybe bitcoin is like a bubble but who knows when bitcoin will rise.
