    Bitcoin has topped.

    The word being used earlier was "blocked", as in the government has blocked the on/off ramps. Explain to me how Binance, FTX, or even a BTC ATM asking me for a driver's license or other form of ID is blocking my access to crypto. I've got a driver's license. I've got a passport. Snap a pic of...

    Maybe not the "get a life" part but I told him to back off posting so many movie/tv clips as the basis of his responses. He's a level-headed person and he didn't seem to have a big problem with my request so we are good.

    It seems as if you're referring to on/off ramps as they apply to anonymous users. I've submitted my personal info for the last 3 or 4 years to a variety of on/off ramps, so I'm not really in the anonymous mindset any longer. So yeah, perhaps there has been a clampdown on exchanges and services...

    I've already told him that before. :D

    You're misinterpreting what I was saying. I'm not saying that every single person has access to every exchange out there. I just meant that no matter where you are located, if you've got an internet connection you can find a crypto on/off ramp with no problem at all. Even in your worst case...

    Bye bye, everybody!

    In the famous words of comedian Ron White: "You can't fix stupid." I can't rid people of their racial ignorances and stupidity. There's always going to be a certain level of that and I don't have time to smack each person on the back of the hand with a ruler every time he posts a racially...

    Decline of useful conversation on ET

    The reason why we created a politics section to begin with is because members were discussing political issues in many of the various trading forums anyway, especially during election years. So what we realized is that if people are going to discuss politics no matter what, then we should at...

    Bitcoin has topped.

    I haven't seen any evidence of that whatsoever. Anybody with an internet connection can choose between 294 different exchanges worldwide to swap their crypto for whatever they want and the exchange list is only growing. So if there are major governments trying to block crypto on/off ramps, they...

    Bye bye, everybody!

    Those examples you gave are more like common jabs that we hear all the time. The content I'm referring to is more along the lines of wanting the entire Jewish race eliminated off the planet, as if there wasn't a single one of them worth saving. Furthermore, that was the only type of posts he...

    Bye bye, everybody!

    Racial hatred is unacceptable and is in a completely different league when compared to opinions about government policy. But to answer your question though, most of his posts were in the Politics forum, but he also blasted some of the trading forums with that same racial content as well.

    Federal Trade Commission Cracks Down on Warrior Trading For Misleading Consumers With False Investme

    Considering they basically oversee deceptive business marketing practices in every single industry you can imagine, they have no other choice than to let complaints drive them to whatever the next serious issue is on the table. There's just too much marketing content being published every day...

    Federal Trade Commission Cracks Down on Warrior Trading For Misleading Consumers With False Investme

    It's more about how the upfront sales claims match up with the end results. If you said "How to walk your dog daily to lose 30lbs in 30 days without fail!" then that's a claim that needs to be backed up. If 99% of the people who bought your training series actually lost no weight at all, then...

    Federal Trade Commission Cracks Down on Warrior Trading For Misleading Consumers With False Investme

    The important thing to understand here is that we're talking about the FTC, not the SEC or some other regulatory agency. So the FTC focuses on what your promised claims are, and how those claims play out in real life with real customers. In other words, using phrases like "Trade with certainty"...

    Right, that's because that person is on your block list so you shouldn't care about what he posted, much less any replies to his posts. It's functioning as intended in your case.

    Portugal craps on crypto, reverses policy

    Crypto transfers are peer-to-peer so banks will always be at odds with the crypto world, which is the way it should be. I'm sure that Blockbuster wasn't the most complimentary of Netflix, but we all know how that story ended regardless. As much as the banks would love for you to just continue...

    The only reason I haven't done it is up to this point is because some other forum owners have told me it's an absolute traffic killer. The second that legitimate unregistered users like search engine bots can't index the site is the day the site traffic goes by-by.

    Interesting. What is it about the way he speaks that you find so irritating?
