Either way I wouldn't be able to get a decent amount of merit.
Also you would probably enjoyed if I kissed your ass for merit. And that's what others are probaby doing to get 1 merit and reach 100 after 3 years. Not going to do that though. Probably that's what this system is about.
Kissing old members ass.

So funny how all these members somehow collude to make a point. Why did you jump in the discussion suchmoon? You felt overwhelmed by the injustice against your buddie "o_e_l_e_o"?

Yes enjoy correcting. Since you do that, you might try being in detail from your first answer though. Doesn't need to put hints and links and answering like you did. You answer ("correction") was inadequate.

Also about merit, you are referring to 3-4 exceptions. Meanwhile I'm reading bounty hunters answers in every forum post, from persons that have 100+ merit just because they were bounty hunting since 2017. Is this a just system? Why would people that don't offer anything useful have full member ranks? Just because they were lucky to have posted a hundred replies in 2017?

I don't have to click links and I rarely do. It is your duty to answer in detail since you did jump in the discussion without being asked.
Then again I admit that I was wrong as I didn't believe that EU banks could have adopted so fast and didn't wire-transfer money since 2018. The information you provided was valuable.

If you are talking about the major population of the developing world, then you might be talking about 1-2 Bitcoin ATM's in every major city. There won't be demand as most have no money to gamble on Bitcoin.
Still I've noticed in google trends a few countries (as Ghana and Nigeria) having increased interest in Bitcoin. Perhaps the companies that install them can survey the interest in these countries and install a few as a test.

I completely agree but do you question yourself perhaps? Do you ever wonder that you might not be contributing at all by answering whatever comes in your mind on any post you find? Because I didn't find your post by accident. Do you also understand that the only people that leveled to the rank of Full Member are native English speakers and the rest have absolutely zero chance getting merited?
Merit system created a closed circle in bitcointalk and it is actually a impossible acheivement for anyone not proficient in English.

I'd be interested to know which countries have right now these systems you are referring to. SEPA as you are saying is "in the process" of creating an instant wire-transfer processing system, which in banking terms means 2-10 years.
So you are basically saying that their is no system available to process transactions in the same day.

I don't understand why you don't answer my question with a simple yes you are right and you are starting with "There are some countries with systems in place to allow instant transfers."

Which countries are these? Can you go in detail?

Then how do you describe Nouriel Roubini that was FUDing all day about how wrong we are on cryptocurrencies and how he did stop talking about Bitcoin the same moment we started moving up again?
Same moment that twitter stopped suspending cryptocurrency promotional accounts and when facebook decided to stop deleting accounts promoting Bitcoin and crypto.
Also same moment when twitter CEO went full FOMO on Bitcoin by promoting it with his tweets.
Wasnt that co-ordinated? And all the twitter bot accounts with 100K paid followers that told you to buy at 14K? This was spontenious too?
You are saying that Jamie Dimon went against his company policies as a CEO and was discrediting their investment? You obviously have no clue how corporations and banks work/think.
This is all planned and executed in all detail. This is no UFO's to talk about conspiracies. I'm amazed by your simplicity into calling this is a conspiracy theory.

What do you expect from the USA President to say? That the dollar is weak and that Bitcoin is the King? This is what he is supposed to say there is no reason to either think that he will promote Bitcoin or dump the dollar.
The rest about Bitcoin used only for criminal activities are to be disregarded as propaganda.

Every government is coming to realization on what Bitcoin can become. Back in 2017 we had politicians talking about how a possible Bitcoin dive in price could actually start a new recession.

There are people that are afraid of the future power and growth of Bitcoin and they will try to "tame" it and make it as centralized as they can to achieve their goals.

The problem for them, is that if they succeed in centralizing it, they will instantly fail to use it as it will become obsolete. So all their effort would be just to destroy Bitcoin. And after that, another technology will appear that would be even better and harder to regulate and take over. Remember the file-sharing websites in 2000 and the war against them? They shut-down most of them only for p2p technology and torrent sites to appear.

I've never watched a news report for Bitcoin explaining what it actually is.
Most of the times when they talk about Bitcoin in TV you can see that they are really happy only when price falls. Probably this makes the people that just scratched the surface feel better. Return to sanity or whatever.
Since they talk about this subject which we understand, where it is clear to realize their lies and propaganda, can you think of all the subjects that we don't understand how much they manipulate us?

There have been good news since Q4 2018. Even when the dip to 3K happened we had only good news. I cannot deny Tether had some part to do with the price exploding to 14K and this will be reflected later on a possible dip.

8 pages of answers and noone actually cares to answer OP's main question.
Bitcointalk is not a forum anymore but an advertising agency. I was so tired trying to read 2 pages of comments that had no substance at all so I skipped all the comments.
Anyway, if noone answered this I will.
There are a few people that have this strategy you speak of. But I doubt they do this with 500$ accounts. With the volume you are trading I'd advice going all-in, all-out on your trades, unless you are using leverage.

Where have you seen wire transfers processing instantly? It takes 3 days minimum. This is the traditional banking we are speaking about. Who the hell told you it is instant???
Even the money you sent from your card to buy on Amazon they are not delivered instantly. Amazon sees them on their account on the next working day! So if you buy something at Friday Amazon will have the money available only on Monday.
What is actually instant is only transfers between accounts of the same bank.

You need to hold at least 10 XLM. Binance will begin snapshots from 20 July and will make the airdrop on 1st September. Besides from the airdrop, you will also receive Stellar staking rewards.

2,000 USD price drop. Nothing much. Tether still has 300million to pump overtime without having to print more.

Quite a few people believe it was a team instead of one person. I haven't research this far, but I trully believe that one gifted person alone, can actually manage to create a technological breakthrough that can change the lives of everyone. I believe that Satoshi is a single person that created everything with his own brilliant mind.

Patterns and technological advances that big corporations claim as their own, are usually build by one individual alone. His contract though, on every situation, claims that any breakthrough he achieves using company assets or data, is owned by the company. Scientists get paid a lot though for this reason. Although they miss the glory in most fields of science and technology this way and their name stays in the shadows.

I really hope Satoshi is alive and kicking and watching his child becoming what he always hoped for.
I read quite a few of his posts in bitcointalk and I only hold admiration for him.

If he is alive and decides to sell, he deserves the wealth. Kudos to him. Still it would have huge implications on price of Bitcoin.

In my knowledge we should buy right now as we always should buy high and sell low. I will hold until 10$ then sell.
