::Thanks @zasad for inviting me::
Swordsoffreedom (Legendary)1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies? Although I have known the name of Bitcoin for a long time, but it is not too long ago I became interested in Bitcoin. When I lost my part-time job in 2016, I had to go through a miserable life. At that time, I used to do a little bit of forex trading. Then one of my freelancer friends asked me why I am not investing in Bitcoin market! For his encouragement I left the Forex market and started trading in the Bitcoin market. Then I didn't have to look back, I didn't have to go door to door for a job. I was able to pay all of my educational needs and also able to help my family.
2. When and why did you when you buy your first bitcoin?As far as I remember, I bought my first bitcoin in 2014. My friend encouraged me to buy Bitcoin, I bought Bitcoin for the first time with some kind of fun, I still had no idea what to do with. I bought it because of my friend's insistence and left it that way for a year.
3. How did you get on the forum?I first heard the name Bitcoin at the beginning of 2013 when Bitcoin was being forked and there was a huge stir about Bitcoin fork through social media. At that time I didn't understand what bitcoin was, I just heard the name only. Then I searched online by typing bitcoin and found the forum and became a member.
4.1. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?I think its confusion, the main reason for this is the confusion of people towards cryptocurrency. The government is very much responsible for this, the governments of different countries have declared cryptocurrency illegal and after a while declared it legal, their activities create panic in the minds of the people.
Yet many people are frightened when they hear the name cryptocurrency, thinking it is a criminal act to use cryptocurrency in public. I think if these confusions in the minds of the people could be removed, it would be possible to adopt a wide range of cryptocurrencies.
4.2. How do you think mass advertising of gambling projects has a positive effect on the development of the forum or harms the community?There are separate boards in the forum for gambling. Those who do gambling don't talk about gambling anywhere other than the gambling board. When it comes to gambling advertisements,
The signature campaign says to post more on the gambling board, even if you don't post on the other board, there is no problem. And I think gambling signature campaigns keep the forum alive.
4.3. How do you consider whether 2-3 years of experience in cryptocurrency is enough to successfully invest or does an investor need to receive special education?I think two to three years of experience is enough to successfully invest in the crypto market if he is able to gain the right experience. Also, if one studies to gain special knowledge on cryptocurrency, it is always positive. I myself always try to stay with technology to stay with knowledge.
5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns? Do they harm the forum?There is no doubt that the "merit system" is good enough for the forum. Before the merit system, good posts could not be found in the crowd of spamming posts. Using the forum after the introduction of the merit system is now getting a little peace. And speaking of the signature campaign, with the introduction of the merit system, good writers are now getting a fair chance to work.
6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?I think there may be variations of beneficial threads depending on the individual. One thing may seem beneficial to someone, which may seem like a normal post to others. Most of the time I passes my leisure by watching sports and doing online trading, so mostly I like the threads of the gambling board and the trading discussion board. Recently these two posts caught my eye:

7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?1) More options should be added to Privacy for threads.
