Thanks a lot zasad@ for giving this opportunity to participate in this interview  Kiss



1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?

Answer: I remember when I was looking for ways to make money online it seemed like the easiest option even if the income was not huge. Sometimes I get lucky and get paid but other times it is a waste of time and energy. Then my cousin introduced me to Bitcoin. I would love to learn about this digital currency and how it is measured in Satoshi. I started collecting satoshis from faucets not knowing that the value of bitcoins will increase in the future. When the price was in the hundreds I sold most of the proceeds to enjoy my gain. I later fell victim to a  scam on Facebook and YouTube trying my luck with online investing. However this unfortunate experience prompted me to create a bitcoin wallet and delve into the world of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin price volatility intrigued me and drove me to do extensive research all night long. At that time I stumbled across a forum and saw the potential of Bitcoin for online transactions. This discovery fueled my passion and eventually led me to pursue a degree Computer Science.

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?

Answer: I bought my first bitcoin in 2019 when bitcoin was around $8,000-$9,000. I bought $1500 to $2,000 worth of bitcoins. I do not remember which exchange I used but I sold it a few months later and I do not remember why  Huh

3. How did you get on the forum?

Answer: My friend recommended me to visit this forum if I want to earn extra income from cryptocurrencies. He suggested there where I could grow my account and participate in compaigns like bounties and signatures and other ways to earn rewards like Airdrops, Micro Earnings, and Faucets.

4.1. 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?

Answer: Two to three years of cryptocurrency experience can be a good basis for understanding market dynamics technologies and trends. However, to successfully invest in cryptocurrencies you need to be constantly learning keeping up with the latest developments and conducting in depth research. While formal training in the field can be helpful it is not a requirement for successful investing. Practical experience learning from reputable sources, and awareness of the risks involved are key factors in making informed investment decisions.

4.2. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?

Answer: Mass adoption of cryptocurrencies has been delayed due to opposition from governments banks and negative media coverage. However, the Bitcoin community is making progress, and improved, user friendly software solutions are expected to drive adoption. While volatility and fraud present challenges spreading awareness and dispelling misconceptions is critical to widespread adoption especially in developing countries with large populations.

4.4. Are you using the Lightning network? If yes, for what purposes?

Answer: I might not use it until now but perhaps I will use it in the future.

4.5. Which secure cryptocurrency wallets are you currently using?

Answer: I primarily use Trust Wallet to send and receive funds and to save money for the future. However I have noticed that many users prefer to keep their funds on the exchange and may not be aware of the potential risk of the exchange going out of business as was the case with the Hotbit exchange recently. There are several reliable and secure cryptocurrency wallets on the market including Ledger Trezor and Coinbase Wallet. You might consider using one of these.

5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?

Answer: The merit system seems like a positive addition as it solves the problem of growing from low quality posts and being sold for signature campaign revenue. While I am not positive enough to judge its effectiveness, I hope it helps reduce spam. Signature events if managed properly can benefit all participants. Revenue and signature campaigns definitely improve the health of the forum by encouraging users to contribute meaningful content. While the achievement system is not flawless, it can serve as a useful tool in identifying useful forum participants. Additionally, introducing a voting system where trusted users can upvote or downvote posts could further crack down on low quality content and deter repeat offenders.

6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?

Answer: This forum has many useful forum topics that I believe are relevant to everyone. I cannot mention all of them but here are a few:
  • Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
  • Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

    Most Helpful Users:

    7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?

    Answer: I think there is no need to do anything else in this forum. Everything here is the best.

    8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?

    Answer: I have tried trading and investing in projects on exchanges but my favorite thing to do is investing in projects because I earn more from them than from trading. Additionally converting cryptocurrencies to fiat currencies can sometimes be a challenge due to regulatory requirements limited availability of exchanges and more. or bank limits. That's why I do not like trading on exchanges you can also read my 9th Answer.

    9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?

    Answer: In my trading journey I have experienced both the thrill of winning and the pain of losing. Through careful analysis I managed to make a profit of more than $3,000 which strengthened my confidence in trading. However a series of unfortunate trades resulted in a loss of approximately $2,600 a valuable risk management lesson. Undaunted I was determined to learn from this experience and continue to pursue financial growth in the trading world. So if we calculate exact profit from trading then I get only $400 dollar.

    11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution

    Answer: No

    12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?

    Answer: I have never read any Bitcoin book until today nor will I read in the future. But I have watched several videos about Bitcoin on YouTube and sometimes I have also searched about Bitcoin on Google.

    13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?

    Answer: In next 1 - 2 years i suggested that we can invest in these coins:
    1. Always Bitcoin (BTC)
    2. Ethereum (ETH)
    3. Binance (BNB)

    14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2023?

    Answer: If I guessed the price of BTC at the end of this year then its price may be $36k - $39k

I answered everyone. If you want to get questions faster, send me a private message.
If you have recently registered on the forum, you should not start with an interview, because no one knows you. Prove yourself on the forum for a few months, get the rank of member and welcome to share your wisdom and experience.
If you have a cryptocurrency project or work experience in an interesting company, then we can make a more interesting interview, for example

Thanks zasad@ to give me opportunity to interview.

1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?

I became interested in crypto currency through airdrops, which was my first encounter with crypto. But I later came to realize that there is more to crypto than just doing airdrops.

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?

I can't actually recall the exact date of my first Bitcoin purchase, but it was around the year 2018/2019 or something of that nature. I made this purchase with the help of my friend, and the reason for this purchase was not because I actually believed in it; it was because I wanted to see how the so-called Bitcoin works. That was when I used part of my salary for that month to make my first purchase.

3. How did you get on the forum?

I was introduced to the forum by a friend and, at the same time, a family relative; he actually sent me a link to the forum but misinformed me on how the forum works. From the very beginning, all I was told was how strict the forum was and that I could be banned anytime in this forum if I'm not careful enough, but the more time I spend here, the more I learn and find the community more friendly. I also happened to find out lately that the person who invited me here actually has an active account here on the forum, but with a lower rank than the current rank I have achieved. He never mentioned this to me, but I traced it out through a few exchange transactions we did, and he always encourages and congratulates me for the rank I have obtained for myself.

4.1. 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?
This is all based on personal perception; everyone has their own level of understanding. It took people only a few months to understand the entire market and know what kind of decision they could make regarding whether to buy or not. Personally, it took me about these same 3 years to actually be able to make a decision on the method to buy. I have been making little profit, and I believe it's perfect for me, but I still need to acquire more knowledge and work more on myself.

4.2. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?
Being misinformed is one of the things I see reducing mass adoption. A lot of people have knowledge of crypto currency, but they have received the knowledge in the wrong way, which makes them perceive the currency differently. Another thing I also believe reduces the adoption rate is unfriendly government policy, which means lots of citizens are out there and can't do anything on their own, especially when it looks like it's against their government.

4.3. What is the situation with cryptocurrencies in your country? Are there any problems when exchanging for fiat? Which city or place in your country is best suited for cryptocurrency holders?


I personally don't have any form of challenge with exchanging crypto to fiat in my locality; even with the little crypto ban, I can still exchange my crypto using either the P2P option or with friends that I know

4.4. Are you using the Lightning network? If yes, for what purposes?
No, I have not actually given it much attention and have not seen the need to use it as well.

5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?

I think the merit system is actually a nice one, although I am not old enough here to know how things were before merit was introduced. But with the little knowledge I have gathered, it does more good than harm for the forum. This is based on my personal perception. The only disadvantage I see about this merit system is that it's among the things that encourage account buyers to look for accounts to buy since they believe they can't obtain enough merit to rank up. Activity is easy to get; even shitposts can be updated to activities, but not all posts are worth meriting.

On the other hand, I believe the signature campaign is among the things keeping the forum very active. A lot of topics and threads are created, and quality contributions are given based on members understanding of the topic and its details in order for those posts to be included on the weekly signature post quarter.

6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?
[General] Bitcoin Wallets: Which, What, and Why? There are users who have helped me on my journey to this place; lovesmayfamilis is one of them. In my first thread, which I was afraid of posting, lovesmayfamilis clarification made me understand that I can survive here by just being myself and that one-time help and advice are enough for me. Lucius, who has helped correct me in a few ways and pointed out some of my errors, is now on his or her ignore list. o_e_l_e_o, who have also taught me more about privacy protection, and many others who have impacted me in different ways.

8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?
I do both: I trade both on exchanges to make a little profit, and I also invest a little to try my luck on some projects that I find interesting and worthy of my investment.

9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?
My biggest profit from trading was Crypto Stake CST. I bought the token from a few bounty and airdrop participants at a low price. After the CEX, I sold a few and took a little gain from it, which took only a few hours for it to dump more. I bagged 10,000+ of the token. A few weeks later, they launched the gaming platform, and the token was being used for staking. Boom, my 10k, which I bought at $500+, was giving me a total of $4000+, and I swapped it using my pankswap.


11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?
Before, it was just a precaution for my safety, but right now I take it as a very vital role that I need to take very seriously.

12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?
I can't recall; all I do read is journals and online news. I have not actually bought any hardcopy crypto books or even read an entire crypto book before online.

14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2023?
I'm hoping to see it in the range of $36–40k.

PowerGlove and Theymos are hoping to implement the 2FA, but I'm not sure if it will happen here or on the new forum software.
Thymos? Never heard of him...

PowerGlow? Who dat? Tongue

Yeah, the 2FA patch will be ready soon. I've set the one year anniversary of my account (June 23) as the cut-off to send the code to theymos, so look out for a post on Meta sometime between now and then. Wink

(To be clear, the 2FA patch is something I'm doing on my own initiative, and I have no idea how theymos feels about it or what the chances are of it being accepted; it could very well end up being a huge waste of my time, but on the other hand, it could also prevent an imperial fuckton of pain and suffering, so it's worth me trying, I think.)

Lol my bad, I edited your name twice and I still spell it incorrectly, and for the Theymos danm it, how did I miss the third letter, you know there are names that look correct even when spelt incorrectly, and I guess theymos is one of those. I've corrected the names from my end i would appreciate if you do the same.

June 23 is almost a month away, and it's been really cool having you around. I mean, look at how much you've imparted and improved our old fashion forum in such a short period of time. I thought it was some kind of you and Theymos collaboration thing, but I must have misread it; believe me, this would save us from a lot of hacking problems and add an extra layer of security to our system.

Thanks zasad@ for inviting me to join the interview.
I re-read my interview today and it brought back so many good memories. I wrote this interview about three years ago. Because of the concept of your interview zasad@, forum users will remember a lot, even ten years later if they read their interview they will go back to the time when they wrote this interview.  Smiley

First of all I want to thank zasad@ for doing this series and also for inviting me, as it connects the community and is very interesting to read.

Quote
1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?

I became interested in bitcoin at a very young age of just 14 years. Back then I watched many youtube videos explaining technical stuff and also saw a video about Bitcoin mining with a USB Miner. I quickly found out that there was not a very good profit in it (by research on bitcointalk) and therefor mined for fun on my laptop.

Quote
2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?

Since I was not able to mine bitcoin in any large quantity I wanted to purchase bitcoin and also got some crypto by hanging around in chats on crypto exchanges like BTC-E.com. Since I was not 18 years and didn't had a bank account I had to convince my parents to let me invest the little money I had at that time.

Quote
3. How did you get on the forum?

Mainly research about mining and to understand what bitcoin actually was.

Quote
4.1. What is the situation with cryptocurrencies in Germany? Are there any problems when exchanging for fiat? What is the best city or place in Germany for cryptocurrency holders?

The situation in Germany is actually not that bad for bitcoin, but I have to say that there were much better times in the past. In 2014/2015 I knew some shops that would accept bitcoin and it was a quiet easy and convenient experience to buy stuff with bitcoin. If you want my honest opinion, I think all the owners later got rich because of their bitcoin and therefore went out of business to enjoy their lives.
Also there is a trend for more and more KYC in Germany. What would be my hope is that people would start to request more bitcoin payment, so there would be an incentive for shops to again accept this payment option.
Since I don't live in Germany anymore I can't tell you about the current situation from first hand experience however.

Quote
4.2. Is there a future for GPU mining?  What are GPU miners doing in your country now?

I don't think that there is a future for bitcoin mining, since there are very smart companies working on ASIC miners. Also there is a trend to more eco friendly solutions in every field. GPU miners are always a compromise, since you use the GPUs for a purpose they were not designed for.

Quote
4.3. How to properly dispose of the mined cryptocurrency (how much to hold, how much to sell)?

If you want to mine as a business model, then the question is clear. You will put out your operating cost and the cost to refinance your hardware. If you mine for the fun of it, then there is no clear answer. As a bitcoin enthusiast I would probably say don't sell anything.

Quote
4.4. What do you think will happen to bitcoin in 2028 after the halving, when its mining will be very expensive?

If you have cheap electricity your mining operation will be alright. If you have expensive electricity your mining operation will fail. This is also right now the case and will always stay the same.

Quote
5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?

The merit system has some issues, but the benefits outweigh the negative aspects.
Signature campaigns help me to finance my studies. For this I am very grateful.

Quote
6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?

This is very specific for each user. To me the most helpful topics are the topics where my specific question is answered.

Quote
7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?

I would implement a wiki. Right now we have a large amount of very smart people here, that have a lot of knowledge. Who knows what will happen in 10 years. Maybe bitcoin will face a long lasting crisis and all this knowledge is lost because people are interested in new stuff. It is always important to preserve knowledge for later.

There could be some kind of statistics like on https://bpip.org

Quote
8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?

I buy bitcoin when I have the possibility.

Quote
9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?

Biggest loss is probably that I did not had the money to invest in bitcoin, when I first got to know about it. Also I was not the best to store bitcoin and lost a lot to exchanges that were taken down and also to lost private keys.

Quote
10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?

This is not my topic.

Quote
11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?

Precaution. There are many people here that are not anonymous and are still doing fine.

Quote
12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?

none

Quote
13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?

Bitcoin

Quote
14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2023?

50K

yes
7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?

The forum is constantly being modified and updated by various experts and developers. But it would be great if some of my updates are available on the forum in the future.

Pinned the Best Post
2Factor Authentication
Unlike/like system

We already have important posts pinned on each board; perhaps you haven't looked or noticed it yet, but we have that on the forum.

The merit system and the unlike/like button serve nearly identical functions, though the merit system is far better. Reddit uses upvote/downvote, which is similar to the unlike/like button, and it is heavily abused.

PowerGlove and Theymos are hoping to implement the 2FA, but I'm not sure if it will happen here or on the new forum software.

8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?

I am not very interested in centralized exchanges because after the FTX scam in 2022, I lost faith in exchanges like many others. But sometimes I use the exchange to trade P2P on Binance Exchange. But I sometimes use Binance Exchange to invest on some projects.

if you still use it then you haven't lost trust yet, you are only afraid

You don't need a special education the duration of years that you mentioned is enough for even a lame man to learn and understand to be a successful investor in cryptocurrency.
Quote
4.2. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?
FUD has done a major harm to Bitcoin adoption by social medias. Another thing is the crash of exchanges, this will make newbies that don't understand that an exchange is only to keep their coins and not bitcoin itself crashing. This might make newbies scared of investing.
Quote
4.3. What is the situation with cryptocurrencies in your country? Are there any problems when exchanging for fiat? Which city or place in your country is best suited for cryptocurrency holders?
Many youths have started adoption of cryptocurrency even with the ban place on it by the government.
I don't think so with the help of exchanges, it has being easy.
Let me say Lagos city because that is where majority of the country's income is generated from.

It was late last year when I first encountered bitcoin but was not too sure about the whole thing as I was even having no knowledge about it but it was not until the wave of awareness of bitcoin everywhere in my place that are really caught my attention and curiosity, I mean most shop and big business all seem to be putting up this message on their advertising board or banner "we accept bitcoin here". This really called my attention and was so curious to know about this coin that is probably accepted everywhere you go in my local community.

Thanks for the opportunity sir.

interview questions and answers
1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?

ans= for starters, I never actually had a good view towards bitcoin, it was common around me that every one felt bitcoin was a ponzi scheme that only swallowed your money as this was the current trend in locality but it was not until last year during the bear season that a closed friend actually corrected this thought as we were deep in discussion about the financial situation of our nation and suddenly the name bitcoin appeared in our discussion and I ask further to explain and he broke it down simply for my understanding and from then the curiousity all started.

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?

ans= I bought my first bitcoin last year 2022 during the bitcoin bloody year, though it was a small amount but it was worth it because I have gain much knowledge here about the DCA strategy and I know I will be buying more in time coming and I bought it during this time as I understood that its actually the best time to buy bitcoin as it low so I can hold for high profits when the price starts pumping and eventually beats it ATH

3. How did you get on the forum?

ans= was guided here by a friend who properly got rid of the hideous thoughts I had about bitcoin and since then my stay here has been worth it, although he advice me to do everything myself as experience is the best teacher


4.1. 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?

ans= I think 2-3 years of experience in crypto is enough to become a investors as an investment is simply base on the basic and proper knowledge about which I believe one must have through his/her 2-3 years of experience.

Certainly no need for any special education except maybe he or she is an illiterate that needs proper tutoring to grasp simple basic communication skills  Grin


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?

ans= I think if there are counting the major factors that has led to the massive adoption of crypto, I think gambling would be one among those factors as its involved almost half of the world population and these advertisement project have had positive effects in so many lifes here in the forum whivh is a good thing plus these advertising on gambling project is really part of the massive awareness project 

4.3. What is the situation with cryptocurrencies in your country? Are there any problems when exchanging for fiat? Which city or place in your country is best suited for cryptocurrency holders?

ans= for now I think there is actually a banned on exchanging or transacting bitcoin directly with your fiat bank account and I know this as I was victim of this ban. But you can exchange your bitcoin through peer to peer transaction to your local fiat through exchange platforms.

4.4. Are you using the Lightning network? If yes, for what purposes?

ans=Nope, but making plans supposedly in the future.

5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?

ans= the merit system is an excellent tactics that has greatly reduced the rate of account farmers and spammers, haven't been around much but I have read on the forum here that there use to be a time when the community was filled with loads of spammers and account farmers and the merit system was induced to help stop this and so far I think its very effective as you will need earn merits to actually grow and merits only comes if will work hard and create quality post here which is definitely not a place for a lazy person.

As for signature campaigns, I think a good way to advertise your product and its also a good way to reward those hard working members.


6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?

ans = bitcoin wall observer. Helpful users? I think everyone who is willing to grow is helpful or will be helpful someday in the community but I will give to DT members and moderates that cleans the forum, menhh is not an easy work

7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?

ans= nothing, I think we are good 

8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?

ans=investment only as am kinda scared of trading

9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?

ans= sorry no stories to tell only have regrets why I didn't have the knowledge I have now back then when bitcoin was still a baby

10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?

ans=Nothing much

11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?

ans= certainly yes and very vital

12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?

ans= to be say the truth, I have never actually read any but I have watch lots of documentary online

13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?

ans=bitcoin, bitcoin and maybe ethereum
