You really want to beat a dead horse, and turn this topic into another suchmoon sermon about suchmoon’s opinion of how to use the trust system?

• Before your post, I noticed that minerjones had changed his feedback to neutral, for whatever reason.  (That’s his call.)  Why are you still arguing?
• As for me, by the way:  I only posted here because a participant in this thread sent me a PM asking me to explain why I had sent merit to minerjones.  So—I explained, publicly.  I don’t want to be a killjoy, or derail a thread in which I have not chosen to participate.

I think that the folks who want these interviews can now return to whatever they were doing.

The rating was changed to neutral hours ago.
A reasonable resolution so I don't see any need in carrying on in this vein. Back to the interviews sounds like a good plan

1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?
It was late of 2015 when I first read about it but back then most of the investment platforms offer cloud minings.

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
After I read about the necessary information on how to invest, I quickly deposit some cash to try my first investment which is of course in the cloud mining site.

3. How did you get on the forum?
I came to the forum in July 2017 and only visited once when I register. it was never my plan to get here but a task that asked me to sign up for 100 forums English sites, included Bitcointalk. Only after a year in March 2018 I get back here with the help of my friend.

4.1. What prevents the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?
Back then, it was the volatility of the market and some people think of it as a scam method to attract people. Including the hacking of the exchanges will prevent mass adoption as well.

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?
I don't know about this one, In my opinion, so far so good there hasn't any problem until today.

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?
It depends on how people understand what they read in this community. as you can see, all of the necessary information is right here and most of the people here know a thing or two about the basic and up to advanced technology of blockchain. In this case, a few months will do.

5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?
The merit system has helped this forum to control spam in the most effective way for years now. As for the signature campaigns, the manager should carefully select their participants because some of those people don't really care about their posts and sometimes they've posted the weekly quota in just 1-2 days.

6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?
I rather say the most useful board in the community. I'd say the Beginners & Help board has lots of information for the new and veterans members. not only that, most of those seniors have their own opinions about the topic there. which will give us more knowledge about the topics.

7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?
Who viewed your profile and user's last action.

8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?
Most of the time I'm trading, sometimes invest in some projects that I think it's worth investing my money with.

9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?
If you really read those stories about how they failed and lost on big opportunities, it won't happen to you since I read most of them. it didn't happen to me. All I had was a big profit which helps me a lot even before this pandemic.

10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?
To be honest, I don't really know how this thing works but base on the people's response, this must be one of those unique ecosystems we've ever had and it's working properly.

11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?
That's the most important of all, Our anonymity which is a vital part of being a member of this community.

12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?
As for the books, I rarely read them. I am more into topic discussions. But if you want to read more of those books, you can go to my topic and have some look. https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5144671

13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?
I can't, my tip is, you guys do your own research and continue learning until you are ready to invest in what project you want to invest your money with.

14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2020?
At this rate, most likely it will stay on the $10,000+ mark. It won't go less than that.

15. P.S. (Optional)

That's all I can say about it, until now I'm still learning and contributing to the community about some knowledge that I learned in the past years.

Hello zasad@.
Sorry for the late response as I was busy this past few weeks.
But, it will be a great pleasure answering this interview. 
2015. Free money, faucets. (set aside hypocrisy)
2017. As an investment. Yeah, I am the worst. Took 2 and a half years to trust bitcoin.
A friend suggested it to me so I can learn more.
Government. Merchants doubting because of volatility.
IMO, its okay, keeps the forum lively.
For me its enough but it should not stop there. Keep learning and be updated on every event.
No, I don't think so. The merit system was a great move from theymos. It's like a filter.
Signature campaigns are really helpful for members to be more pumped in making attractive posts rather than just "thumbs up" and "great project".
Personally, I have my own helpful user that also helped me to learn from scratch. harizen
Topics. There's a lot especially in the beginners section where I mostly read. I'd like to think I am still a beginner every day.
1 is already difficult and you made it 3? 
I can say I am already okay with the rules here.
I traded before with my bounties. I did invest with projects too, ICO's. But, I stopped and just focused on the 2 main cryptocurrencies which is BTC and ETH.
It was a bounty token. 20k USD profit just waiting for a big swing. Also, my biggest loss when I became greedy looking for more.
It's the same event with ICO. Hype and everything. Don't want to get mixed up with it just yet.
Necessity. In this pandemic, more people are using internet and they are learning.
Not all will try to learn the good side of it and try to abuse the technology.
So anonymity and security is a necessity now.
None.
BTC, ETH and LTC.
$13k
15. I didn't know it will be that long. But thanks for the opportunity zasad@.

i was invited to do an interview and answers on these 15 (17) questions, so here they are:

1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?
- i was long involved into financial markets, and heard about bitcoin in 2013, but did not become that interested since the bull run in 2017, primary reason for interest was earning in bitcoin investment, but during 2018 i have learned a lot about cryptocurrencies, and i could say that earning money is not primary motive anymore, i think that cryptocurrencies will become standard for many industries in this decade

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
- actually, first bitcoin i have bought in April 2020, after a small recovery from March lows, but have to say that my first purchase was Ether, that i have bought multiple times in 2019, and LTC, that have bought in 2019 as well

3. How did you get on the forum?
- it was not intentional, during Google search, in January 2018, first period spent on bounties only, but at the moment interested in many subjects, primarily in Gambling topics

4.1. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?
- at the moment, you need to be tech-savvy to use most of cryptocurrencies, and for mass adoption we need possibility of recovery (custody or bank) for your funds, since most people are not used to the fact that they are the only responsible person for their funds
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?
- it is questionable, and hard to answer, since i gamble responsibly, but there are many people that are trying their luck with funds that are not supposed to be lost, and that is why i do think that gambling advertisement should be responsible as well (i am trying to include advise to bet on what you can afford to lose now and there), gambling with beer money is actually bringing much fun, but it is very hard to live on gambling earnings
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?
- it depends what you were doing during these 2-3 years , i think that with cryptocurrencies at this stage, one needs constant education, since there are new products and developments every day, and formal education would give you some to start with, but industry is evolving at a rapid pace, and constant skills improvement is needed for one to be successful investor

5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?
- i do think that Merit system is good for forum, it improved my writing in the first place, but i do think that there should be a requirement for members that reached certain status to have some amount of merits periodically, or to be relegated to lower status (there are too many members with Hero/Legendary status, with 500, 1000 merits, received at the start of Merit system, without any merit received afterwards), so maybe addition that, for example, Hero should get 2 merits a month, to retain status would be a good option

6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?
- for me, most useful is Croatian local board, i am Serb native, but since Serbia does not have a local board, and active community, i am mostly active in Croatian local board, and there are very interesting information there and strong community
- from a complete forum, i think that Scam Accusation is very important part of the forum, in a young industry like this, where a lot of people is not aware of possibilities with cryptocurrencies, and could be easily scammed in the learning process

7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?
- first: already mentioned changes in Merit system, to have periodic merit requirement to retain status
- second: assign moderators to local boards, to have a possibilities to change something in local boards
- third: added sub-topic for new developments in cryptocurrencies, which should cover DeFi and NFT at the moment, but many other products in the future

8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?
- actually, i have accounts on a few exchanges, but mostly investing at the moment, do not trade a lot, rarely when there is a good possibility

9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?
- bought Ether in the beginning of 2019, and there is a good profit on that investment at the moment, as well as bitcoin in April 2020, which is still in holdings as well, with 100+% profit

10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?
- it is very risky at the moment, there is a lot of scamming there, but i am involved in LP on Uniswap and Justswap, thinking about Flamingo as well at the moment

11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?
- it is a precaution, do not think that it is vital since i do not have large amounts of money involved in the industry and i do not trade anything illegal

12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?
- currently read my first book - The Infinite Machine: How an Army of Crypto-hackers Is Building the Next Internet with Ethereum, but read a lot of articles on medium, where the subject is discussed

13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?
- think that bitcoin and ethereum is always good to buy, but i would mention three less-known projects, that I am invested in, that are:
THETA - video delivery project
REN - inter-blockchain liquidity project
VIDT - document verification on block-chain project

14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2020?
- i am not that good at predicting prices, but for the sake of the interview, will say 13k USD, nevertheless, it is more important that 1 BTC will be 1 BTC at the end of 2020, as well as at the end of each year after that, and that will be 1 from 21 million always

15. P.S. (Optional)

zasad@ Thank you for inviting me to answer your survey.

Hi zasad@ here are my answers to the interview thanks.

Questions:

1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?
- Started in 2017 I think I already heard a lot from bitcoin or cryptocurrency but doesn't really understand it that time, and im afraid to try online things that are related to money since scams mostly happen in online until it was introduced to me by a friend then I tried to make more research about it and become interested in it.

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
-That time around 2017 my friend help me to buy a small amount of bitcoin that only cost me 5$ just to try it.

4.1 What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?
-The government does not support it, it's hard to adapt to something high tech if the country is not used to it or still more into fiat money.

-I think as long as it involves cryptocurrency or bitcoin except for form scam projects that's all fine in the forum.

I thank @zasad very much for this interview and for this unique idea of an interview with forum members:

Questions:

1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?
Answer: The beginning of my interest in cryptocurrencies was around 2013, but my real start was about three years ago, it was by chance, frankly, I was looking for a job on the Internet and during my research and found many sites that advertise for profit through bitcoin, especially faucets sites and free business sites, why I did not know what bitcoin is, but when I read about it a little, I found myself very interested in learning more about it, and I already started the journey of knowing Bitcoin and knowing everything about it, and I was very pleased with this coincidence that led me to learn about the greatest invention of this era.

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
Answer: In fact, I live in a poor country and the online purchase process is not available in my country, so most of the bitcoins that I got through my work on the Internet were and I could not buy bitcoin directly, so I was working and converting the currencies that I got to Bitcoin.Of course, the reason for converting currencies into Bitcoin is my great confidence in Bitcoin and my feeling that it will rise to large numbers one day.
 
3. How did you get on the forum?
Answer: In fact, I heard about the forum a long time ago through social media, but I did not register in it at first because I was busy with other things, then after a while, as a result of the frequent talk about the importance of the forum, I registered in it, but I remained inactive for a long period of time, I was busy frankly In Airdrop and Bounty sites, therefore, I remained inactive in the forum, but after a while I learned my mistake and learned that these sites are all nonsense and a waste of time I decided to start working in the forum and developing myself and promoting step by step.

4.1. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?
Answer: I'll answer you, according to my personal point of view, there are several factors that prevent the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies:
- People do not yet know enough about cryptocurrencies, there are still many people, even in developed countries, that do not know what cryptocurrencies mean or only know little information about it.
- The fear of governments and banks of losing control in the event of the spread of cryptocurrencies, as you know, governments and banks rely on control and centralization in the first degree, and cryptocurrencies are quite the opposite of that, as they are decentralized and no one can control them.
- Also, the large fluctuation of the prices of cryptocurrencies makes many people do not trust these currencies and do not consider them as a safe haven.
- I think that there are also other hidden factors, as governments, for example, are working to spread fear of cryptocurrencies among people by spreading frightening things such as that cryptocurrencies are used to support terrorism, as well as that their prices are volatile and cannot be trusted.
- In general, there is a fear of everything new and sticking to the past, as we note from history that there were always difficulties in moving to any new system.These are the most important reasons in my opinion, and there are certainly other reasons as well.


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?
-

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?
Answer: I think that 2-3 experience is not enough for an investor to succeed in cryptocurrencies unless he receives a lot of special education, cryptocurrencies contain a lot of risks and need a lot of learning and there are new things constantly, but I think that the best teacher for the investor is personal experience, he has to do the experiment himself. And learn from his mistakes and this is the best teacher in my opinion.
The investor must go through a lot of experiences and it is possible that he fails in many times, but he must despair, but he must learn from these mistakes even if they are severe.

5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?
Answer: The current Merit system in the forum is more than wonderful and for me I did not find it better than this system in any other forum, I worked in a lot of forums but I found the merit system here in the forum is the best ever.
As for signature campaigns, I think they have two negative and positive sides:
the downside is that many members are not interested in posting if they are not Participnts in signature campaigns.
The positive aspect is that signature campaigns encourage members to improve the quality of their posts so that they are accepted in signature campaigns, because most campaigns, especially good ones, choose members who have high-quality posts.

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

7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?
Answer: The first thing I would like to do in the forum is try to be among the prominent members of the forum.
The second thing is to try to write new and useful topics that were not written previously (especially in the local board)
These are the things that I am thinking of right now and there may be other things to come

8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?
Answer: For me, I prefer trading in exchanges more than investing in projects, although I have invested in some projects, but unfortunately most of the projects are either SCAM or failed projects, and I personally suffered a loss from my investment in two projects, so I no longer invest in projects, but rather I trade in exchanges and I have experience. Quite good at trading.

9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?
Answer: My biggest loss was about two years ago. I invested in a new token (MEME) at first its price rose a lot, but after a short time the project collapsed, it turned out that the project was SCAM and that the team stole money and closed the site, the token price suddenly fell incredibly and I lost all my capital Almost.
As for the biggest investment for me, it was when I recently bought a large quantity of AWC Wallet Token and the token price seemed to rise until it reached nearly 300%, as my capital has tripled.

10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?
Answer: I think DeFi projects are a temporary bubble and will burst soon, as happened on ICO projects around 2017-2018. I might be wrong but I guess it won't last long. But even so, I think it is a great opportunity that can be taken advantage of at the present time. We have seen several successful DeFi ventures out there and the investors are making huge profits.

11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?
Answer: For me, I consider anonymity a precaution and not a vital necessity. There are some people who exaggerate their anonymity and prefer not to reveal anything of their identity, for me there are things that I do not mind appearing and other things I prefer to remain hidden.

12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?
-

13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?
Answer: I will give you my personal opinion, and of course there will be many who disagree with this opinion, of course I will not talk about Bitcoin or Ethereum because it is out of the list and remains the best choice for everyone, but I can choose three cryptocurrencies tokens as follows:
BNB, TRX, AWC

14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2020?
Answer:  I do not think that Bitcoin will rise much from here until the end of the year 2020, I think it is possible to touch $ 14,000, but I expect a significant increase in the price of Bitcoin next year.

15. P.S. (Optional)

In the end, I would like to say something about this wonderful forum: This forum has given me a great opportunity to learn and make money at the same time, this forum is a realistic example of the Bitcoin era and its positive impact on people's lives, Bitcoin has given me financial freedom through this forum and a lot Another great thing that I want to say from my heart is: Thank you Bitcoin and Thank You Bitcoin Talk.

Although I am not one of the good posters, the opportunity to be given an interview is an honor for me. I will try to answer every question
as honestly as possible, sorry if any of my answers make other members uncomfortable. Because I realized that I am only ordinary people
are not free from mistakes. Please enjoy my interview.

1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?
I became interested about crypto around 2013, when my friend introduced me about Bitcoin. I am interested in Bitcoin because it can potentially
replace the bank system. Since 2013 I have been trying to find information about Bitcoin. But unfortunately I was busy working at that time and
had to vacuum for about 3 years from the cryptocurrency world. And I came back to cryptocurrency around 2016.

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
I bought Bitcoin for the first time in 2016 out of curiosity, so I only bought Bitcoin for about $ 25. And I regret why I only buy small amounts of
Bitcoin.

3. How did you get on the forum?
I know the Bitcointalk forum recommended by my coworkers. He said the Bitcointalk forums could provide me with all the information I needed
regarding cryptocurrency. And it turned out that my co-worker was right, I started to understand cryptocurrency from the Bitcointalk forum.

4.1. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?
I think the government is the main cause of preventing the mass adoption of crypto. And there are also many scam projects in the crypto world,
preventing the mass adoption of crypto.

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?
One of the reasons for the increasing number of members of the Bitcointalk forum is because of the mass advertising of gambling projects.
Because many members want to earn rewards by participating in gambling campaigns. And this is positive for the crypto community who want
to find a place to be able to play online gambling that is safe and reliable.

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?
It depends on one's ability to understand crypto investment, but in my opinion 2-3 years can become a successful investor. No need to receive special education anymore, I even only needed 6 months to understand investing in cryptocurrency.

5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?
Since the merit system implemented in signature campaigns has indeed reduced the number of spammers, but on the other hand has
made members low rank lost the opportunity to take part in gambling campaigns that prioritized high rank members.

6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?
Since I love gambling, of course Gambling discussion is the most useful topic for me. There are so many members of this forum who help me a lot,
which I can't possibly mention one by one.

7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?
I feel that this forum is perfect for me, so for now there is nothing I want to add to the Bitcointalk forum.

8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?
I prefer trading on exchanges, because I can get profit faster.

9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?
I made the biggest profit I made this year, when I bought Bitcoin at the price of $ 6000 in March 2020, and now the Bitcoin price has risen
to $ 12,800. And also I managed to sell LINK at the price of $ 17, even though I bought LINK when it was 2019 which was still priced at $ 2.
For the biggest loss I experienced in 2018 when Bitcoin dumped, and all the altcoins in the dump too. My total loss reaches $ 1400.

10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?
I made a large profit from investing in DeFi coins, So I think the DeFi ecosystem is giving investors a chance to make huge profits in a short
amount of time. And that's a good thing in my opinion. So DeFi coins hype is not a bad thing, even Bitcoin hype happened in 2017.

11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?
For me, anonymity is a vital need, because I think almost everyone needs privacy. So I am too, because cryptocurrency can provide anonymity
that banks cannot provide. Eventually all my wealth was transferred to cryptocurrency right now.

12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?
I love reading cryptocurrency books, so I have read many books. The last book on crypto that I have read is "Keys To Bitcoin" by Raphael Meyer.
But the cryptocurrency book I recommend is "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas Antonopoulos.

13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?
Good cryptocurrency options for investment in the next 1-2 years in my opinion are Bitcoin, Ethereum and Binance Coin.

14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2020?
If you look at the current price of Bitcoin, it has managed to rise to the price of $ 12,700. Based on my analysis Bitcoin should hit a price of
$ 15,000 by the end of 2020.

15. P.S. (Optional)
I am grateful to be able to get to know this forum, so that I can get income from gambling campaigns. And also I can get complete information
about cryptocurrency in this forum. Hopefully this forum can live long and continue to develop even better.

Hello.
I want to interview you. I hope for your consent.

Thanks @zasad for choosing me.
