Please ban ngahang448 and haohao1234567 as both users have plagiarized posts stolen/copied from online articles. They are using text spinning tools to hide their tracks.

I also suspect users listed below to be connected in some way (maybe being alts of each other) considering their profile names, posts being made one after another in the same thread within a narrow time-frame.

Copy/Spinned text:

The first Bitcoin halving in 2012 saw BTC increase by just over 100%. As the chart above shows, the performance after a year in 2013 is astonishing at 3447.9%. The second halving occurred in 2016 - BTC notes an increase of 125.6%. By the year after 2017, the annual performance of BTC reached 1242.6%.
While these data may be considered a coincidence, other prominent analysts now expect Bitcoin to continue rising to an all-time high ($ 20,000) by 2020. I think. You should hope

Original:

Right now, Bitcoin is in a year of stable growth - the cycle that has witnessed BTC ending the year with an increase of 125.6%. This simple analysis - coupled with the fact that Bitcoin has followed the direction of the previous cycle (2013-2016) around this time (2017-2020), suggests that BTC will end this year at least. over 10,000 USD, these would be about 16,500 USD if history repeats.

Right now, Bitcoin is in the year of steady growth, which in the last cycle saw BTC end the year up 125.6 percent. This simple observation, coupled with the fact that Bitcoin has been following the previous cycle’s (2013-2016) directionality this time around (2017-2020), suggests BTC will end this year at least above $10,000, but around $16,500 if history repeats to a T.

Quote
*Level Pertama: Level Unconscious Incompetence
Level paling awal yang dilalui oleh trader pemula.
Pada level pertama ini (Unconscious Incompetence), biasanya trader bisa profit besar, namun itu hanya beginner luck saja (karena keberuntungan semata). Sebagai seorang pemula, biasanya kita tidak akan percaya bahwa kita bisa untung hanya dengan 1 indikator saja. Para pemula di level Unconscious Incompetence biasanya sibuk mencari puluhan strategi dan indikator. Tidak ada trader yang sukses hanya dengan faktor keberuntungan. Quick loss akan datang menyusul quick profit. Trader level pertama, meski tidak bisa trading dengan benar, tetap percaya diri karena faktor luck menghampirinya. Trader level pertama biasanya merasa spesial, dan akan mampu mendapatkan kunci kekayaan dari trading.
Trader pemula tidak menyadari bahwa 90% trader yang gagal juga mempunyai perasaan euphoria seperti itu. Sang pemula tidak berdasar sistem, dikuasai oleh emosi, selalu averaging posisi jika loss karena marah pada market. Trader level unconscious incompetence selalu ambil untung kecil-kecil dan membiarkan profit berubah menjadi loss. Hal itu terjadi karena trader pemula dikuasai oleh greed atau perasaan serakah. Itu wajar dan umum.


*Level Kedua:  Leve Holy Grail Seeker
Di level Holy Grail Seeker, trader mulai sadar bahwa ia tidak bisa trading, tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk trading. Para Holy Grail Seeker sadar bahwa selama di level pertama dulu, pikirannya kabur oleh emosi dan tidak bisa berpikir jernih. Di level kedua, trader akan mencari holy grail, yaitu sistem yang sempurna, sistem yang 100% profit dan sistem yang tidak pernah rugi. Trader level kedua atau para Holy Grail Seeker mulai membeli sistem/robot yang ada di internet. Trader pemula level kedua mulai membaca semua website tentang trading mulai dari UK, USA, Australia, Europa sampai Russia, para Holy Grail Seeker membaca semua ebook yang ada, mempraktekan semua sistem trading. Trader pemula level kedua ini haus akan ilmu seperti seorang pengembara di padang pasir yang haus akan air minum.
Pada level ini kita akan mencoba semua hal tentang indikator, bahkan mungkin akan membuat indikator sendiri. Dan kita kan bermain-main dengan MA, fibonnacci lines, pivot point, Fractals, Divergence, DMI, ADX, dan ratusan indikator lain. Para Holy Grail Seeker menganggap bahwa market terlalu rumit untuk diprediksi hanya dengan 1 indikator saja. Para Holy Grail Seeker mencoba menebak level tertinggi dan terendah dari harga.

Original: https://steemit.com/partiko/@farrinawabzada/still-confused-by-steem-steem-power-and-steem-dollars-read-this-explaining-the-steemblockchains-three-different-cryptocurrencies-yqsxlljy

Steem Diamond is a blogging platform. On Steemdiamond, people earn
rewards in form of cryptocurrency when their blogs get upvoted by
other users of the Steem Diamond.


A simple example to understand the DIAMOND and Diamond Power

Think of Steem Diamond-Blockchain as a gold mine. Steemdiamond as a
tool to mine this gold. And users use this tool for mining.

The mine produces a fixed amount of gold every day. In the world of
Steemdiamond, we call this gold ‘Diamond Token’. The Diamond Token
(gold) is traded by the people in the market (online cryptocurrency
exchanges). They buy it on a speculative price and keep it (hold) with
them to sell later when the prices go up. Why the prices will ever go
up? Because the Steem has many use cases; it is useful and scarce.

The value of Diamond Token is exactly the amount at which people are
trading it in the market. The trust of the buyers and holders (the one
who own Diamond Token) gives it a price on the exchange.


DIAMOND POWER is a measurement of how much influence a user has in the
Steemdiamond network. The more Steem Diamond a user holds, the more
they can influence the value of posts and comments.
Influence tokens which give you more control over post payouts and
allow you to earn on curation rewards.

Stabil di harga 100juta merupakan hal positif untuk harga bitcoin saat ini. Karena kita tahu Bitcoin menyentuh harga di bawah 50 juta setelah ATH baru 2017. Mengenai kenaikan tanpa henti, rasanya tidak ada komoditas yang demikian. Semua akan ada naik dan turun, dan ini sudah menjadi pola suatu pasar. Sejauh apa jumlah permintaan mengalami kenaikan, saat itu pula produk akan mengalami kenaikan harga. Sama juga dengan bitcoin, jika permintaan sudah  naik maka harga akan berangsur naik. Tapi, perlu diingat pula ada titik jenuh pada pasar, umumnya pemain besar jenuh melakukan aksi beli yang kemudian dikonversi menjadi aksi jual untuk menambah aset ketika harga turun. Ibarat tengkulak padi, mereka mengepul sebanyak-banyaknya untuk menaikkan harga, jika sudah untung akan mulai menurunkan harga agar bisa kulak murah lagi di petani. Hal semacam ini yang membuat suatu produk akan mengalami pasang surut dan tidak akan pernah mengalami kenaikan tanpa henti.

Untuk melihat publik key diharuskan input private key, walau memang tools yang digunakan masih bisa diakses dalam mode "offline" but who know rights?
Dalam transaksinya juga sama, setiap kali transaksi masih diharuskan untuk melakukan import private key.
Kalau, menggunakan wallet yang om @abhiseshakana mention tiap individu tinggal memiliki wallet pribadi masing-masing.

I use Coinomi wallet for mobile. This wallet Like Electrum, your wallet addresses are generated using a 'master seed' of 12 random words which never leaves your device. You can use this to restore your wallet balance for all of your coins should anything happen to your device. Coinomi offers the option to set a password during setup rather than a mandatory PIN as with Electrum. If you choose not to set a password, make sure your Android device has screen lock enabled and is encrypted.

Since Bitcoin is a decentralized currency, banks and governments have zero ties to the currency which can be helpful during political and economic turmoil. Banks are unable to use a person's saved Bitcoins for their own investments so any government-related economic depression will never impact Bitcoin's value.

Hi i'm Timberlake
The struggles of Bitcoin seem to be unending, with many uncertainties hovering over the new technology. Earlier this year, the Chinese government intensified efforts towards the banning of Bitcoin mining. Some of the reasons stated includes the electricity consumption, and the environmental threats of the mining process. This has raised a lot of questions as to what could become of the technology, considering the role of China when it comes to Bitcoin mining. So we ask, what happens if China bans Bitcoin mining?

(Note to self:  Suggest a filter to flag likely attempts to hide text for moderator review.)

I had already reported the user for one nonsensical shitpost when I noticed likely plagiarism.  Here is the user’s full list of posts before I reported:

(From experience, for exactly this reason, I habitually snapshot the post histories of low-post-count newbies before reporting.)

The user variously claims the names “makotosagame”, “Bruno mars”, “Meyou Shesagame”, “Timberlake”, and “Jhon nathan”, in posts that are either totally nonsensical or likely plagiarized.

A search for the source of the text immediately found this, apparently from 21 October, 2019:

Copy:

There are many ICOs. The phenomenon, that started three years ago, has become very accessible due to Ethereum based ERC-20 tokens. After you’ve learned how to identify a good ICO, in the following list you will find 10 red-lights for bad ICO investments.

1 – Team is inexperienced in the crypto field: No well-known crypto advisers, no famous venture capitalists investing. Watching interviews with the team’s key members can help answer if you trust them or not.

2 – “This is an existing company, with 3 years’ experience and 20 workers”: Is the company only here for the money? If the pivot is not necessary, then yes. If the company is already profitable in their field, why is the ICO needed, besides the “easy money?”

3 – Bonuses for everyone: The more funds are raised with a bonus – the more likely the price will be traded close to that discount level. The more serious case is when there is no vesting for the pre-sale investors.

4 – Hard cap is huge: other than a very few cases, an unlimited cap or a very-high cap means huge demand is needed to make up a secondary market (or exchanges). No one will be waiting to buy the tokens on the exchanges.

5 – No real need for the token: The whole ecosystem is built around the project’s token. If you can replace the token with Ethereum or Bitcoin and it still works, there is no real need for a token, hence no real need for an ICO.

6 – Aggressive marketing: when you see too many Facebook and Google Remarketing banners and ads, especially when they promise nice profits. That’s a red light.

7 – Community’s discussions are of low quality: Join the Telegram, ask questions, see how the developers respond to these questions. Same can be said about the ICO’s BitcoinTalk Announcement thread. A strong community creates high-value discussions.

8 – The public sale lasts too long: either the cap is too high, or the demand is too low, or both. Better for the project to raise 100% of 20M than 50% of 40M.

9 – No signs of a major exchange looking to list the ICO’s tokens: It won’t be said clearly because the legal team doesn’t let the ICO teams speak about exchanges, but this is a major part of the game. In 2016 Poloniex was the hottest exchange, 2017 was Bittrex’s year. Is Binance the exchange of 2018? Might be. What we do know, is that each new coin added there – benefits its initial ICO investors.

10 – Market cap is already huge: Assuming the company is selling only 10% of the circulating tokens for 100 Million USD, the token initial market cap is starting from 1 Billion, without making any 3x or 5x that will explode the market cap value before trading even started. This depends on the circulating supply. Be suspicious of the following: If there is no finite number of tokens, a small percentage is distributed to the public, no lock up on the tokens reserved for the team.

Copy:

A common and recurring theme during the meteoric rise of ICOs has been the pervasiveness of fraudulent practices. If an ICO’s main documentation and community engagement are skewed towards returns on investment over the underlying problem the project seeks to solve, then you should question the credibility of the token sale. Guarantees of high returns, rather than focusing on project goals, is a hallmark of fraudulent schemes.

I first heard about Bitcoins about three years ago (spring 2011), at that time a Bitcoin was worth about $2.00. The first thing I did was to download the Bitcoin client and started mining. I left it running a couple of hours, but as I can come back I had not gotten any Bitcoins. I thought, well screw this. Now looking back at it it feels stupid. Bitcoins were ridiculously easy to mine compared to today. Imagine if I had continued mining...

But that didn't end my Bitcoin story. I continued reading on the Bitcoin forums where people were speculating about the future price and impact of Bitcoins. I remember people dreaming about future values of up to $1000 and all kinds of cool ways to use them. At some point, I discussed it with some friends at school. I was 15 back then, but two friends actually caught on and found it really interesting. We discussed back and forth whether we should invest in Bitcoins or not. Finally, I decided to buy $20 worth of Bitcoins. Remember that at that time one Bitcoin was worth only $2, so I got 10 of them.

Buying them was a bit tricky though. The only real exchange site at the time was Mt. Gox. I created an account but immediately hit a problem, how would I transfer money to Mt. Gox? They had an option to transfer money by PayPal, but they had a processing time of one week to avoid scams. But I didn't want to wait that long, I was super excited, who knows where the value will be next week?

I continued browsing the forums to find another way to buy some Bitcoins. Eventually, I decided to buy from someone directly. I created an account on the IRC chat and managed to find a guy who was willing to sell Bitcoins to me by PayPal. I have to know idea who this guy was, his age, sex, country, etc. I knew nothing about him, except that he had a reputation on the forums. Finally, I transferred $20 to him by PayPal and a couple of minutes later I had 10 Bitcoins in my wallet!

A couple of months after my purchase, around June 2011, the value of Bitcoins started taking off for the first time. I remember excitedly following the rise and wondering whether I should sell. I kept telling myself that it might rise a bit more and kept waiting. Finally, the bubble hit its top at about $30 and fell back to the levels that I bought in to. I was a bit frustrated thinking that I had missed the whole party.

Eventually, I lost interest and only checked the value maybe once a month until January 2013 when the value started moving again. The value started rising rapidly and my thoughts were drawn back to the summer 2011 and the last bubble that I had missed. Afraid to miss the party again I sold my Bitcoins in February 2013 for $30 each only keeping 0.1 Bitcoins just in case, expecting the value to fall shortly after as it did in the last bubble. That didn't happen.

The following months were quite painful to follow as the value kept rising and rising... When the value soared above $1000 in fall 2013 I wanted to rip my hair off. I tried to keep myself from checking the value and stop thinking about the $10 000 I could have made from a $20 investment. One of my friends who I discussed Bitcoins with before contacted me at this point interested in whether I still have them or not, he had finally decided not to buy Bitcoins when I did. I can tell you that he does really regret that decision today...

Today I do not feel too bad about it anymore. It does bother me that I missed $10 000 but I have pretty much come over it. I try to focus on the fact the I still had a 1400% increase in my investment. It was a really risky investment and I am very lucky to have gotten anything out of it at all. When will I hit the jackpot like that again?

Oh, and my final 0.1 Bitcoins went missing a couple of days ago as Mt. Gox was shut down. Great.

Oh, and my final 0.1 Bitcoins went missing a couple of days ago as Mt. Gox was shut down. Great.

* Project Strength:

- The DublerToken public chain is clean and simple, and hidden from third-party applications and services.

- DublerToken prevents overload of the main chain by having a few predefined sidechains built into the DublerToken Carrier platform.

- DublerToken promotes the property rights of digital content. DublerToken has the capability to issue tokens for digital assets or applications and to establish the ownership of digital content through smart contracts.

- DublerToken Runtime runs on the OS of customers’ mobile devices. Apps are free to run and their performance is comparable to existing mobile apps. DublerToken supports traditional programming languages, making it relatively easy to write code. DublerToken also supports popular programming frameworks.

- The separation of apps from the network ensures that digital content won’t be leaked.

- Even when DublerToken apps are running on operating systems such as iOS, Android and Windows, the local OS won’t be able to sabotage the property rights of digital assets. The value of digital assets is preserved.

- For non-DublerToken apps such as Android or iOS apps, users can access the DublerToken Smart Web through the DublerToken SDK. Users can log into nonDublerToken apps using their DublerToken Smart Web ID. Users can also keep their nonDublerToken app data in their DublerToken cloud storage

Careful though - the guy is not very responsive and is just hiring translators himself when someone gets in touch. I can tell because he contacted me once longer time ago, we did some business (he wasnt too professional unfortunately but at least I got paid) and just a few weeks ago, he contacted me out of the blue not even realizing we had worked together before - I then told him I would not work with him again. Wink Just sharing my experience, its funny how little our world seems to be sometimes. Wink

Bitcoin prices recently reached a six-month low, having declined more than 50% from their 2019 high of almost $14,000.

After suffering this pullback, has the digital currency’s price bottomed out?

While many analysts are unsurprisingly bullish in the long-term, many of them are less optimistic in the short-term, emphasizing that the cryptocurrency could easily suffer further losses.

Market observers offered these predictions after bitcoin fell to nearly $6,500 on November 24th, its lowest since May, before recovering, approaching $7,400 the following day, Coin Desk 2local figures reveal.

[Ed note: Investing in cryptocoins or tokens is highly speculative and the market is largely unregulated. Anyone considering it should be prepared to lose their entire investment.

Bitcoin ‘Overbought,’ Says Analyst

“We don’t see $6.5k as the bottom, although it’s the first strong candidate for that title,” said Tim Enneking, managing director of Digital Capital Management.
