RE: What I Would Do If the British Government Banned Bitcoin...

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

In 1933 the US government issued an executive order that made holding gold by US citizens illegal. They were ordered on threat of imprisonment to hand over all gold coin, gold bars and gold in all its forms, including paper gold.

Come to South Africa. The government here wouldn't be able to enforce a ban in a zillion years.

@eduskillsnow: This comment is for your benefit so you don't find others downvoting or flagging you.

I have noticed that you have made a number of very short comments on other blogs, which are similar in style to the one above. They don’t really add anything to the discussion of the topic.

Please help keep Steemit free of spam posts.

If you like a post, it is generally sufficient to upvote it unless you want to join in the debate. (Despite your "nice" comment, you failed to upvote me).

Short comments like “awesome”, “nice post” “amazing post” or “really helpful” are generally not seen as part of the debate on the topic ,and if repeated across multiple posts, may be interpreted as spam.

Asking other people to upvote or follow you is also counter-productive and irritating. They may downvote, mute, or flag you.

Downvotes or flags can lower your reputation, can result in the removal of rewards, and may result in your posts not being seen by others.

Don’t worry, I haven’t flagged or downvoted you. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you were genuinely trying to encourage the poster. An upvote would have been sufficient.

I never reward short comments.

I often reward intelligent comments. I have a lot of Steempower. An upvote from me is worth hundreds of times a normal upvote. I hope I can reward you for intelligent and thought provoking posts in the future.

You did the right thing and now you get 19 cents and his shit comment "follow me" gets flagged and hidden! It was at $0.00 anyway so i dont feel bad at all flagging that shit! Its important we just start flagging any offenders because they cant be allowed to make one fucking cent of bad behavior... and we all agree that saying "follow me" is fucking BAD behavior, like a dog pissing on your carpet, we all agree that its BAD and we say "BAD DOG" and make the dog stay outside for the rest of the week! I am tired of these people making money being shitty people on steemit and the time of assholes profiting off of our network while contributing Nothing is OVER

h and the other side of the coin makes me just as mad! The time when 1 whale can flag a Post which 100s of other people upvote, including other dolphins and whales nd many minnows, its disgusting! I am talking about the many cases where 100s of people try to upvote someones post and a bitter whale for no good valid flaggable reason just flags and post because they disagree and they just end up making everyone angry whatever tho, we just have to buy more steempower!

We all need more steempower but steem needs to perform as a token for moe of us to want to invest! bitcoin is outperforming steem now and its sad, i want steem to do better, but it is all of our faults for powering down... we should all be never powering down...

With bitcoin being on a roll, it’s understandable that other cryptos, including steem are losing ground. If we can clean up steem from the spam, it will draw the FB bloggers and they will want to own steem. Prices will the rise as fast as the community grows.

the spam wil be drowned by god content, we will have supr bloggers coming, people from FB instagram reddit who have millions of followers
also we will have super stars like Alex jones bringing his whole infowars system to steemit and bringing millions fo fans over to signup and buy stake! if alex jones tells his fans that Steem is the new replacement to facebok and youtube then we will get millions of new users almost overnight... after next hardfork and new account registration bottleneck is lifted and millions can signup without delay we will see steemit grow like weve never seen before and steem price will start rising and rising and we will feel dumb for not having bought MORE steem Now when it was under $1 !

I'm new to steemit and found your comment really helpful as far as what not to do ... when it comes to commenting especially...thank you @swissclive
