Hahahahaha

I would not exactly categorize "root beer" as the kind of beer that I was thinking about when you had mentioned "beer market." That is like a PG-13 kind of "beer".   

yup only use ive had for it is when ive bought hardware from a forum member.

even then using escrow is best, unless of course youre buying goods from a respected escrow person to begin with.

It seems to me that it is a bit of a whole different world of forum activities.  Trading with other members, or participating in signature campaigns (especially managers) and offering ICOs etc. Offering or buying goods and services (items of value, besides pure information), seems to be the most applicable use of trust - and therefore positive and negative feedback will come from those kinds of interactions.

For many of us, we participate in the forum in order to merely provide, share and brainstorm concerning our BTC or other crypto-related ideas, so it seems in those circumstances, DT is NOT going to be as relevant, and perhaps merit is important, or merely just the soundness of the shared ideas themselves. 

If we are merely in the sharing of BTC/crypto information business, then we are NOT really prejudiced in regards to DT even if we rarely participate in it -- yet every once in a while, if we were to be posting deceptive nonsense on a regular basis, then we increase our likelihood to get red tagged by someone who has gained trust in the current DT system.

Since theymos made the couple of months ago changes to the DT system, I thought that I should study into it a bit more (especially since I am a pretty active member for just passing 5 years now), and at least, I did the minimum, of creating my own custom trust list - even though I am still considering whether I may need to tweak such trust list a bit based on some of the ongoing discussion of the changes in the significance of such custom trust list including voting power considerations, too.

Yes, indeed. However, I hope bakkt would have more to lose if they pull a runner - more collateral, more intangibles.

Right, but I am afraid that services like this would proliferate soon.
People hope against reason to consume without selling their btc.
I expect bakkt to do something similar.

Exactamente!

They can do what they like with their own coin, can't they? Including closing shop when things get clumsy.
Your coin, you say? Not yours anymore since you gave up your keys.

The monthly update:



A late good start into the month, gentelmen. Unfortunately, real life caught up with myself and I'm a little late, please forgive me.

In February, after six bloody months, we saw a little green again. Is spring coming? It is still enough time to plant some useless fiat and hodl more precious BTC in our hands after the current winter.

Have a wonderful March, WOs!

Irony is bitch sometimes

I am not much experienced as you guys are in this matter or any investment per se, As a matter of fact, Investing in crypto is my first ever investment and I witnessed only one bull run.

But can share my experience and its just my opinion. right or wrong its another debate.

Congratulations LFC!

Though I'm not sure either what it's about, but I think that it's something very good as the list only contains of some very senior and reputable bitcointalk users.

I don't even know what to use it for. I mean, I can trust some people but that doesn't mean I need to trust the people they trust as they can be completely trustable persons but not have good criteria in who to trust. Donno, it's complex. Bleh, fuck it, I already have enough things to think about.

People on reddit marinate it in beer before roasting, for a better taste and softer meat I suppose.

I will go to my grave without a fucking clue about how this trust shite works or makes the world a better place. I would not be capable of comprehending it even if you stuck in me in Cerebro with a Ritalin dildo up me.

There are likely going to be quite a few "shake-ups" in regards to DT in the coming months. 

Theymos did say something about limiting DT1 to around 100 members, so it will be interesting to see what he does when the DT1 list approaches that 100-ish quantity, and then if he institutes some randomness or rotation and/or otherwise changes some of the DT1 eligibility criteria.

Unless it has to do with them stealing your coins.
