Some will care and some likely wont, but it's a moot point because theymos has said several times he wont change or lower the current ranks. I think some additional donator ranks (with different titles and perks) should be added though (as I have mentioned numerous times before). Prices should be pegged to fiat to prevent what happened with the current ones. Countless people have shown interest in donating if only the price was lower and I think additional ranks with different names wont displease any of the current donators so I think this is something we should strongly consider. As I mentioned before, if we allow some of the perks to have include a bigger signature that will put a stop to a lot of account sales as well because people can just donate to the forum instead of giving the money to a possibly shady black market account seller. 

I thought I would share with new beginners of how Bitcoins started

Really interesting!

One of the reasons for not lowering the entry amounts to gain VIP and Donator status, is stated to be that it is an unfair action to lower the price according to the increased fiat value.

I wonder how you as donator would experience a scenario where the amounts will indeed get lowered ~ would you be bothered in all honesty?

Is it intended that the donation titles are $137,500.00 USD and $27,500.00 USD?

I mean... seems slightly excessive lol...

Time to update these to something more realistic? IDK who in their right mind would pay that. Are people still setting these up in 2017?

Because we all love money obviously. What else do you think we are posting here for? Chit chat?  I wonder what will happen when the business for the more industrialized posters dries up. World famine and mass exodus from the forum?

i agree to ban the signature campaign if their rules are explicitly encouraging spamming and trash posts. however, some of the people really need to rely on  certain works in order to make their own lives. some of the signature campaign operators have been allying to deal with those spams IIRC.

Smart (and lucky) guy!

In hindsight, something I've regretted a fair bit was not dropping out of high school. I was bored out of my mind, wasted 9+ hours each school day, ended up sleep-deprived a lot of the time in order to both avoid failing and do the other stuff that I wanted to do, and in the end I didn't get anything out of it. It was a big waste. I should've dropped out ASAP, gotten a GED, and gone to a university several years earlier if possible. Or just abandoned the traditional education system entirely. (University is a much better and more useful experience, though probably still not the optimal use of time/money.)

I'm not saying that people should forget about developing useful skills and instead pin all of their hopes on making money off of insanely risky investments. That's not a good plan at all. But no matter your future goals, I think that any form of schooling that requires 8+ hours of classtime+busywork per day is a criminal waste of time.

as i joined here the BTC was around 10 USD, bitcoin was a game for nerds.
We build our own economy and felt like crypto pirates, we invested in ponzi schemes (Pirate *haha*) and thought that we are the kings of the world because we had unbelievable interests.
We used Marketplaces who brougt us into difficulties or were closed by governance or frozen by banks or marketplaces who losed our coins (Mt. Gox).

We learnd it by the Hard Way, spended a lot of BTCs for nonsense because it was cool to pay with BTC or lost them because we were to stupid to follow some simple rules.

As the price was 60 USD i dropped all coins a had, because i cant imagine that it gets higher.
I lost more then 20-30 BTC with Scam, of course if i keept all the btc i had i would now be a millionair.

Better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Hi every one.

Is there anyone who is allowed to delete our posts. If yes why? Is it better if they notify us before that We know the reason.
