Title: I am a newb but I want to invest... any thoughts?
Post by: newb2pro on August 17, 2018, 09:44:44 AM
Hi, guys and gurus! Nice to meet you all.  :D
I've been coming to the forum time to time, but it's my first time posting.
I need some advice...

I bought BTC and lost 90% of my money a while back. It wasn't all my savings or anything, but it was quite a loss. A friend of mine told me about the bitcoin - but I didn't know anything about this crypto world so I still kick myself for being so dumb - and I got in without research. Snap, and it was gone.  :(
I guess I should have been smarter, should have done my research, should have come here before and so forth... but what's done is done.

But now that I do more reading and follow this crypto market, I am more and more convinced that cryptocurrency is going to boom soon and I don't want to miss out!

I've been looking around recently and found out this thing called 'airdrops' and from what I understand they basically give you some coins for free!  :o
I think it's a good thing cuz I don't feel comfortable about the risk of putting money in but at the same time can get a bit of coin for free.
But it also means that I can't really spend it or exchange it for cash for a long time, right?

The airdrop event my friend and I found is this thing called Coindrop, and apparently I can make up to like 60,000 SEEDs. (Here is the link: coindrop.link)
I'm a bit cautious but it sounds like really good opportunity, so I figured I'd ask you experts.

So what do you guys think?  ???

If you not sell any of your bitcoins yet then you lost nothing since you itself mentioned that the market can boom at any time so hold your coins until to make money.

Doing airdrops is a way to make money but it is hard to find the legit aidrops,most of them were scams and worthless to do,you can try bounties if you want to make money which is better than airdrops.

You already know the point before making any investment, wich does some proper research, if you want to participate in ICO you should do more research from team background to that token it self. And yeah you can make some bucks by doing airdrop, but it's not that much money cause you just do some simple task like following twitter and filling a form after that. If you want to make more money I suggesting you do some bounty campaign, of course, if you to join signature campaign you'll need a better rank, but as a newbie you can participate in facebook, twitter, LinkedIn and many more, I guarantee that you will earn money quickly by doing bounty instead of joining airdrop
edit:
I forgot to put the link to the Coindrop thing. Sorry. I guess you guys need this to check it out for me, right?

ah if you refer to that specific airdrop i have no idea cause there no official thread about that here. And just want to tell you that there plenty airdrop here, if you want to join bunch of them, is ok, its only take your time :3

As a newcomer, you should first read about cryptocurrencies and blockchains, do research and analysis on the market, humbly consult professionals, and finally make tentative investments based on your personal abilities.

True. The first step, should be learning everything related to cryptocurrency world and know well the characteristics of crypto market. But, It's sometimes hard to get the professional traders who want to share their experiences and knowledge. If any trader groups, it may be better to follow them.

--Snip---

Just wondering how you lost 90 % in Bitcoin. It is definitely you get scammed or invested in a fake ICO.

I will recommend you to read the below 2 articles before doing any further investment.

I consider the beginner the same кpиптoвaлютчик as well as all. And he can invest a toga whenever he wants. The only thing is that newcomers need to know more information. It is necessary to visit such forums more often. To get acquainted with the opinions and advice of those who have long in the crypto currency. To minimize the risks.

Investment is very good in crypto
but as a newbie, you have to be smart and intelligent.

DO ALOT OF RESEARCH, FIGURE OUT A PURPOSE, IDENTIFY THE PROJECT
and then you invest.

Don't mix it up, and do the right things always

The Basecoin token also costs $ 1. However, the team uses the principle of consensus to reduce and expand the offer of their koin. When the price of coins falls below $ 1, the owners of coins are asked to buy promissory notes, and the coins used for such purchases are destroyed. As a result, the supply of coins is reduced and the price is rising. To increase the offer, act in the opposite way. Advantages: The project is supported by well-known funds, the developers studied in the most prestigious universities in America. Disadvantages: Trust in the issuance process is required

First of all, you didn't make your research before investing into this volatile space. You would have made your research first before investing in my opinion. Airdrops are good if you find the right one but they are largely valueless when you receive the airdropped tokens

Being a newbie in crypto market isn't responsible for your loss, sometimes even an experienced trader can lose his money.
The market is unpredictable, just want to advice you to keep holding until you feel favourable chance

You right airdrops can bring you some coins for free. But now, when the crypto market in such a bad situation airdrops will not bring you good profits. Now is a good time to buy coins.

Invest wisely. Here is a project which I found promising where one can earn coins forever. Worth investing.
It's a good project and is in its initial stage. Intended to work for IOT and Nano-Tech.
Seems profitable.
They introduced PMA (Permanent Master Address), most probably they are restricting founder's profit and providing the same to miners and investors.
More Info about this crypto and project is here Doppler Website (https://dopplersite.com)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4553663.0
An airdrop is also going to conclude this week which you can opt for now.
All contact links and information on their website.

Find coins that can 5x-10x. DO not try to make 50% on one coin, because the risk is so large the payoff needs to be a lot bigger. Of the top 25 coins right now only good play I can see is Tezos. Good luck!

First of all I always wish the newcomers success! And I want to give advice. Always think a hundred times before investing. After all, I do not want the first setbacks to frighten you. And you have ceased to believe in the future of the crypto currency.

Everyone makes mistakes when they first start out investing.
After all, almost the entire crypto market is made up of unlicensed and inexperienced investors.
You learn through trial and error, research and experience.

As far as airdrops though, honestly, your post kinda seems like a cleverly disguised advertisement.
But I will still give some advice.

My advice is: airdrops are a waste of time.
The reward is typically insignificant and the value of the coin you receive rarely goes up.
This is because from a business model standpoint, airdrops actually destroy value instead of create value.
If the airdrop brings in awareness and new investors it can work, but that is rarely the case.

Your time is better spent doing bounties instead of airdrops if you want to go the "get free coins" route.

You can not invest in what is unknown. To begin with, you need to understand what kind of asset is this - cryptocurrency and how to properly reinvest them and at what point it is necessary to do it. Otherwise, you will lose all your savings.

My best advice is to not invest on anything yet, since you are a newbie. You already did try to invest before and made some huge loss (wont be considered loss as long as you are still holding your coins and have not sold anything yet). This time, instead of rushing into investment, try to learn the market first. Learn from your previous mistakes. Then try investing small amount and experiment the market.
Airdrops, to be honest are just waste of time. You need to be extremely lucky to get some airdrop that ends up being quite successful. Do remember these are just free coins given away, so the value will be extremely small.

That is why he need to learn a lot before he will do his first move, he needs to understand how this market works and what he could expect after enter into the market.

Hi, sorry I've been so MIA. I did sell my BTC, unfortunately. I didn't have any exchange account at the time and gave my money to my friend who was investing (and so enthusiastically convinced me to) and he sold it, returning only 90 percent of my money.

Anyways, I did participate in the coindrop event I mentioned and I received quite a bit of SEED(I think probably like 250 dollars worth). I guess it's not that much but it was a good gain for an airdrop? I was worried that it will have no value, but I heard that using these tokens I can invest in Energy Farm business so I'm working on that. Still thanks for your kind concern. I took your advice and am looking into the bounty program as well.  :D Thank you again for your advice! Mucho mucho gracias!

I found so many people on youtube and on the internet who are experts. Actually it was a bit overwhelming... I have been reading and watching a bunch of them, and have found a few courses (even one from MIT!).

It seems like most of them are telling me there is no ACTUALLY value in the coin - it's more like how valuable most people view the coin to be.

Hmm anyways, sorry I strayed, yeah. If you have any information about advisers you find particularly helpful, I'd be happy to hear from you ;)

I had NO IDEA when I started (trust me I wasn't the only one around here). I didn't even know what blockchain was; a friend told me it was a quick - and sure - way to make some quick money. I sort of thought of it like investing in stocks.
Now that I am studying about it, I am understanding what I did. Yeah... sucks.

Post by: Gaurav11kb on August 21, 2018, 06:41:05 AM
As you are at a place where I've been, I can understand your situation. First of all start doing some airdrops and bounties on daily basis. They'll give you some income over time.

Second thing is that learn about crypto on internet and follow some people on twitter or there are very good threads here on bitcointalk. Learn about the marketcap concept, bull and bear market. Never ever buy anything when its rising already. Most of the times, you'll lose a big part of your investment on that trade. This is called FOMO- fear on missing out.

Well, you'll learn things over time and with experience. Just don't buy anything blindly because some expert says to do so.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I agree I should learn more before investing in anything.
I have been looking into a few in more depth and found the airdrop. I more or less find their business model and vision attractive. It is a bit complicated (since their token is used to take part in energy businesses and CDM, carbon credits, solar power plants thins like that) because people don't really get involved in that as an individual! So yeah, more and more research for me.
Anyways, yeah, I have joined other communities and chatrooms to find out what other people think and how the market is going.

Thank you very much, everyone, for consolation, advice, and encouragement! I will make sure if I do become very well versed in crypto, to provide equally great insight to other newbies! :D

If you did not sell your bitcoins then you have lost nothing, and over time you'll earn their, you say that they see the imminent growth of the cryptocurrency. as for airdrops not advise to do it in good projects involve many people and those tokens which translate, barely worth the time spent, better buy more bitcoin and wait for growth.

If you still hold bitcoin, I suggest HODL for a long-term investment. Honestly, you enter a time when the market is not friendly.
With zero experience when entering crypto and directly buying, is a big wrong step.
Airdrop is like gambling, some are good, some are not. Like other ico projects. It's just that in the airdrop you get rewards by doing small tasks.
My advice is to keep learning and getting to know crypto before investing further, don't be tempted by big profits if you have zero experience

Yeah I heard so much about scams - even just now on the forum! I can see why there would be scams; there are so many new coins it's hard to keep track of them and it'd be like needle in a haystack.
If my friends were to get into crypto market, I would def advise them to research and be aware of the scams too. Arg, only if they would say "SCAM" on their website... lol

I would suggest to look at ICOs, I think it is the best way of investment for this moment. Of course you should select the project carefully, the market is full of scams. I can suggest to look at IcoGuide.com rates, they are not paid, so it will make the selection process easier.

No problem if you bought the bitcoins at very high price,just hold it now and if can buy more because the bull market may start at any time so you will have the lost amount soon but don't lose hope.

I've been looking around recently and found out this thing called 'airdrops' and from what I understand they basically give you some coins for free!  :o
I think it's a good thing cuz I don't feel comfortable about the risk of putting money in but at the same time can get a bit of coin for free.
But it also means that I can't really spend it or exchange it for cash for a long time, right?

The airdrop event my friend and I found is this thing called Coindrop, and apparently I can make up to like 60,000 SEEDs. (Here is the link: coindrop.link)
I'm a bit cautious but it sounds like really good opportunity, so I figured I'd ask you experts.

So what do you guys think?  ???

I hope you did not sell your bitcoins. In the long term, they will grow, you will only have to wait.

As you are at a place where I've been, I can understand your situation. First of all start doing some airdrops and bounties on daily basis. They'll give you some income over time.

Second thing is that learn about crypto on internet and follow some people on twitter or there are very good threads here on bitcointalk. Learn about the marketcap concept, bull and bear market. Never ever buy anything when its rising already. Most of the times, you'll lose a big part of your investment on that trade. This is called FOMO- fear on missing out.

Well, you'll learn things over time and with experience. Just don't buy anything blindly because some expert says to do so.

Wow, nice to meet you.
With the airdrops and bounties, I just thought even if they are a hit or a miss, I wouldn't really be risking much. Some of the groups I am in share airdrop and bounty information so I will try and participate in more.

I have been surfing around communities, chatrooms, groups, pages and so forth. I have been reading in the forum as well, but I plan to do so more often now. FOMO, will remember that.

Yeah, I agree with the expert part. Since there are so many who "claim" to be one on the internet, i am not sure who really is one.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Cheers! :D

Your impulses are clear, but is it the not right step in these conditions. The market is still falling and the bottom is not yet visible, which means a very big risk to start investing now.

If you did not sell your Bitcoins at a loss then you still have some chance to see them recover a little value when the market turns positive. If you are looking to invest in some of the altcoins right now then you could honestly pick any of the top 25 coins on Coinmarketcap buy them and hold for the recovery. Most have also lost 80-90% of their previous values so a gain of 50 or even 100% from current levels should not be to difficult to achieve.

To be honest, investing should be your own decision. The things you find online, reviews and opinions, can and should only be used as a basis. But do not fully rely on online content but trust your own gut feeling. As this is your own money you will be investing.

You are absolutely right. It is my money at the end of the day. I have decided to think of it like an educated guess: not just randomly guessing or following other people's trends or suggestions, but to add what I have researched on top.
Thanks. :D

Everyone makes mistakes when they first start out investing.
After all, almost the entire crypto market is made up of unlicensed and inexperienced investors.
You learn through trial and error, research and experience.

As far as airdrops though, honestly, your post kinda seems like a cleverly disguised advertisement.
But I will still give some advice.

My advice is: airdrops are a waste of time.
The reward is typically insignificant and the value of the coin you receive rarely goes up.
This is because from a business model standpoint, airdrops actually destroy value instead of create value.
If the airdrop brings in awareness and new investors it can work, but that is rarely the case.

Your time is better spent doing bounties instead of airdrops if you want to go the "get free coins" route.

LOL it sounded like an advertisement? Oh that must be because i mentioned a specific airdrop, maybe? Yeah, I'm sorry about that. After hearing about a bunch of them, it was the easiest one to participate in but I had no confidence in myself. So, I asked here.

Hm I see what you mean about the business model standpoint. More supply (free coins) means less value, right? I should add that to my 'things to look at when looking at businesses'. Thanks for the advice. I will eventually invest money, after more research and gaining more experience + confidence.

Thanks!  ;D

Airdrops are ways to get free Tokens, but to be honest it won't give what you want. What they share is meagre compared to the total supply. Bounties are the way to go but will need your time and some resources.

In order to get a good profit with airdrops you need to take part in them for a long time. You will definitely get nothing from one. Better pay your attention to bounty, there is more chance of getting good tokens.

hello mate good day to you. as you said you were a newbie in cryptocurrency world better you do spme research first and get aone techniques from the masters if you want to trade or invest in such token. my advice to you because you invested in BTC better to hold your token at the moment, cryptocurrency dont have stable value and BTC rightnow is still on its lowest price. wait for the bullish run to earn more profit. maybe it will hit in the end of december or early january next year, so better hold your coins at the moment.

Given the cryptocurrency situation, in my opinion, you can invest in bitcoin and altcoins (they have more volatility, but with growth can give more X). From altcoins: analyze the market, study information about the projects. Airedrops is a good way to get acquainted with the market, get coins or tokens for free (you only invest your time). If you like the project, it's idea, then why not participate?

Investing in Bitcoin and Ethereum when you're still a newbie is a good beginning and of course a new opportunity for you to start up in Cryptocurrency. As time passes by you'll gain knowledge and somehow you'll realize that there are more opportunities waiting for you in Crypto. That's a good start.

If you not sell any of your bitcoins yet then you lost nothing since you itself mentioned that the market can boom at any time so hold your coins until to make money.

Doing airdrops is a way to make money but it is hard to find the legit aidrops,most of them were scams and worthless to do,you can try bounties if you want to make money which is better than airdrops.

Airdrop is just one way to make additional free money, but don't expect it to be big. Probably just a few dollars, cents even.
Try to do bounties, while it's also a hit or miss as sometimes it does not have value or may even be a scam.
It's good that you asked and also followed rule #1 - invest only what you can afford to lose.

Crypto will take a lot of time, work and research and also trying to keep up with the news on the projects that you follow.
Good luck on your crypto journey.

You are right, own decision is always clear to choose what they need but beginners are start the career in newly so small bad impression is mark a big impression so two more times analyse the complete details of project then ask the suggestion for this also and finally pick the right one. It is the right way to choose the any project for beginners.

Hold your money, learn more about cryptocurrency first. There is plenty of information on this forum and the internet. Better to spend more of your time and wait a little bit longer rather than you regret you have burned your money. The most important thing on any investment is never put all of your egg in one basket, do research on several crypto. And in the crypto world, the worst mistake that mostly done by newcomer is FOMO, Fear of Missing Out, they often buy a coin that already pumped by the whale and then ends up giving their money to the whale. Those two advices will help you a lot, but still, learn more from this forum and the internet.

Hi, guys and gurus! Nice to meet you all.  :D
I've been coming to the forum time to time, but it's my first time posting.
I need some advice...

I bought BTC and lost 90% of my money a while back. It wasn't all my savings or anything, but it was quite a loss. A friend of mine told me about the bitcoin - but I didn't know anything about this crypto world so I still kick myself for being so dumb - and I got in without research. Snap, and it was gone.  :(
I guess I should have been smarter, should have done my research, should have come here before and so forth... but what's done is done.

So what do you guys think?  ???

If you are investing your hard earned money or taking loan or breaking your retirement/savings account ,then I will not advice to in invest in cryptos.
If you can afford to risk or even lose all your money,you can invest in cryptos for LONG TERM. It may even take a decade to see good returns and you should be ready to HODL and wait

My best advise to you is to first learn about crypto space and blockchain before thinking of making an investment, it is not good to invest into something you don't really know much about, learn about cryptos first then you can make the right decision and right investment.

If you have ample time then you can do airdrops, but it's hard to find good airdrops nowadays because it is so easy to create a token and do an airdrop, some of these airdrops are scams and there is no real platform behind it, only meant to scam people and to make money from the creator

I think you've learned the lesson, although in the worst way possible, but it's ok, the best thing to do is always do some research before investing, find out where the market is right now and why it's like this, read a lot about future predictions, but don't let yourself be influenced too much because this market is full of people with their own interests, so always do your own research so you can form your opinion and discern a good investment from a bad one.

Buy during the dip and sell when market is up to gain the profit you need to achieve.

What I have still won't depend on the airdrop because it's not Crypto's true knowledge because the airdrop is just a free gift made on the project that does it, and if you read a lot here it's certainly very good Opportunities aren't from air drops because there are many other opportunities which can produce more coins than we have to take an airstrip, if you start trading in the market and experience a very deep loss then you have to analyze more trades because there are greater opportunities. .

Yet you just lose the value against the USD or whatever your currency. Still the same amount of BTC if you didn't made any sell yet. You can invest in others coins using BTC and can increase the amount of BTC by time to time and hold btc for some time. By this you can recover slowly slowly if BTC up soon then.

When bought at all time high you have an option to wait when price surpass this level of struggling in btc. Never rely on airdrop most of them are scam.

But you need to go about cryptocurrency and blockchains very well. Meet with your colleagues who have been in crypto  longer than the time you joined, I'm talking about jr.

As a novice to invest in Bitcoin is correct, the current loss is not a real loss, you have to insist on holding it and not selling it. Then you will not lose, Bitcoin is still the highest in the future, and will quickly soar.

You should learn more about trading and mining process in order to invest over there because i don't think Airdrop programs can give you consistent income on monthly basis for a long run and nowadays it is very tough to find out the really good projects.

Luckily what you bought was Bitcoin so there is still opportunity. If you still have the money in your wallet then I think you  shouldn’t withdraw it, since you have started it, then continue with the risk and complete what you have started, there is a high chance that the price of BTC will rise before this year ends and you will recover what you have lost and also gain extra profit from it. Even if you don’t recover all, it is still alright if you will recover at least 50% or 70%.

I don't see how you could lose 90% in bitcoin even if you bought it at 20k because the market hasn't been down that much since then. Since you can't risk more money in crypto then you can join some good bounties and then invest from your earnings. I wouldn't suggest Airdrops as most of them aren't worth our time.

You should be very careful about how you go with your investments. By saying you lost some of your funds, do you mean because the market is down or yousold them off. If it is just because of the market trend, then I'm going to tell you that you are not losing any money yet. You will get back all your funds, and maybe even more when the prices of the coin go back up. If ypu sold off your coins at a wrong time and as a result lost some money, you should be more careful with that. If you don't really know how to go about trading, you should get help or stay out of it.

If you are planning on investing on Bitcoin, it will be better if you will hold it until the value will be higher. Since the market is volatile, you won't know when will it grow or when it will be red. Failure is the key to success, even you make mistakes, just keep on going since it will help you be better and will help you grow.

I would suggest to you don't joint on airdrops because i myself has mostly bad experiences on airdrop i suggest to you to join bounties, the good bounties i found is beatrix they have good project and so generous to their tokens, and i earned more money through bounties not on airdrops. I also suggest to you to hold your bitcoin look at it for a long term investment not as a present investment so don't panic if the price is so low always remember that if the price is so low that is not the best time to sell it.

Welcome newbie. Good thing you have taken this bold step and you  have chosen to invest in the industry. I'm trusting that you won't regret your decision. I think that for yourself, you should find out what interests you, and then find project that fit into your interests that are really good ones, and then invest in them. Or you can chose to invest in any of the top listed coins.

You really want to invest and you are ready, I urge you to take advantage of this bear market, invest heavily on BTC and altcoins like Eth.

I consider the fledgling indistinguishable  from well as all. What's more, he can contribute a robe at whatever point he needs. The main thing is that newcomers need to know more data. It is important to visit such gatherings all the more regularly. To get to know the assessments and exhortation of the individuals who have long in the digital currency. To limit the dangers.

Good thing, and welcome here. I believe by now, you have an idea about what you signed up for, and I would like to urge you to gather more information if you need to, and even go as far as having a mentor, or someone who can always put you through directly, just in case you are having any challenges. There are good number of coins you can make your investment choice from, find what suits you.

At first try to spend more time and analyze the market very carefully. Then you can know the perfect timing of investing.

I welcome you to the crypto world, but please before you invest take some time to check the coins you are investing in, do your research, check how active the team is and the product behind the coin. E. G  what is the use case etc.  These will guide you somehow on your choice of the coins to invest in.

If you are new to all of this, most important is to read up as much as you can (you can check Andreas Antonopoulos' free courses).

And instead of putting money in head first, you can try to earn crypto instead. Do surveys or freelance work online. For example, bitcoinget.com offers BTC payment for surveys. Look for airdrops in the Altcoin section here in the forum. Avoid airdrops that ask for KYC. Do bounties (look for them on bounties.network and bounty0x.io). They are well paying, especially if you can create good content (article, image, video).

Once you are comfortable doing all these, your knowledge and confidence in investing money into crypto will also improve automatically. Then you can research projects individually and invest in them.

Good Luck!

If you're a newbie, I suggest don't jump right now, just hold your money for a while. Crypto is very unstable and volatile during this season. Learn about crypto first the basic about crypto and which coin has the potential. I am not saying don't invest, you will invest 100% in crypto, but it's better to educate yourself first. Crypto change my life and I hope it will do the same to you more.

I would advise you to wait a little. For at the moment, the market is in chaos. Everything is falling around, there are not enough shots. We need to wait for some stability, and then already think what exactly to buy. Is it possible to invest in standing ICO, but this is an amateur)

Hi, guys and gurus! Nice to meet you all.  :D
I've been coming to the forum time to time, but it's my first time posting.
I need some advice...

I bought BTC and lost 90% of my money a while back. It wasn't all my savings or anything, but it was quite a loss. A friend of mine told me about the bitcoin - but I didn't know anything about this crypto world so I still kick myself for being so dumb - and I got in without research. Snap, and it was gone.  :(
I guess I should have been smarter, should have done my research, should have come here before and so forth... but what's done is done.

But now that I do more reading and follow this crypto market, I am more and more convinced that cryptocurrency is going to boom soon and I don't want to miss out!

I've been looking around recently and found out this thing called 'airdrops' and from what I understand they basically give you some coins for free!  :o
I think it's a good thing cuz I don't feel comfortable about the risk of putting money in but at the same time can get a bit of coin for free.
But it also means that I can't really spend it or exchange it for cash for a long time, right?

The airdrop event my friend and I found is this thing called Coindrop, and apparently I can make up to like 60,000 SEEDs. (Here is the link: coindrop.link)
I'm a bit cautious but it sounds like really good opportunity, so I figured I'd ask you experts.

So what do you guys think?  ???

Well, you are not the only one who suffered from this market. There are many peoples actually like you, lost above 90% of their investment value.
Airdrops won't do much to recover your investment, it may profitable but in small amount only.
What we can do in this market is trying to find a good project to invest using our coins, not selling our coins.

really sorry for your btc losses. Sure the grass is greener when some people are speaking of bitcoins .Why? cos they make it look simple like you just invest in your money and boom it rise to the boom and gives you plenty profits. The crypto markets are suffering . Anytime you invest, make sure to expect anything to happen. Seems little by little investing in crypto is just turning to gambling. However , you can make your research before you jump into it.

first of all that must be considered first look at what is a requirement as an investor and may be and anywhere and which must be considered must be careful in step not to be broken into and finally can not do anything.

It is really unfortunate that you lost all those bitcoins. But then again trial and error is the best way to learn and now you know.

Anyways since you are interested in altcoins, there are some amazing projects out there, some which have already boomed and some which hold the potential to explode in the future.

One such project is FansTime. If interested, do watch this easy to understand video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtSbKFmRVtk&t=11s

The best advice I can give is the market is really low right now so you want to get in quickly.  BUT not too quickly.  I would get 10-20% in right now.  then space out my future purchases.  It's tempting to go all in right now at these crazy prices but I would split my purchases up.  This market is out of control.

You already know what is needed to be done before investing so now be cautious before putting your money in any investment that you think is worth investing.

About airdrop there's nothing if you'll try to join since its free but be careful when giving out your infos especially if they require kyc, dont trust easily for a mere tokens that we dont know if it can get any value in the future.

Post by: IanKaramazov on September 12, 2018, 04:03:06 AM
Sorry for the loss. 90% is.. A LOT, to be honest  :-\
For the airdrop, I dont have much experience.
If you still want to invest, please knowledge yourself. That is the right way to achieve what you want. Dont try to make quick money in this market.

Yes try to join airdrops anyway its free and you can earn by this but be sure to join airdrops with potential coins in order no earn surely because there are some airdrops that are not reliable. Also here in this forum you can learned everything you want to know about cryptocurrency and on how to earn crypto coins with or without investments.

You should always be well informed before making a decision. Read, talk to people, and then decide where to go. I would do so.

I don't understand how you could lose 90% of your investment by buying Bitcoin ?.. Even if you bought it at maximum price of $20,000 in December 2017, you lost 68% of investment. As for airdrop, among them very many scam-projects. If you want to earn a few coins it's better to participate in Bounty companies. In their percentage of fraud is much lower and you can always find information on this forum about such projects.

maybe he buys bitcoin at the highest price and he uses his bitcoin to buy altcoin which already falling from January. and he calculates from losing his bitcoin and his altcoin, the total of his loss is more than 90% from his investment. this could happen if someone buys bitcoin and altcoin at the highest price without trying to sell when the price is at the top price. but sometimes the percentage is not valid because there are many other indicators that he might use to calculate his losses.

It's a good thing you have learnt from your own mistakes, and not only that, you have put in measures to ensure they do not repeat and come to come your way again. That was a nice move from you. Now that you have decided to join Bounty work as against investing with your own m9ney in buying coins, welcome to the world of bounty hunters. Well, you were lucky you had a good coin paying you in your 1st bounty, you may not be lucky next time, so brave yourself with coins that would just decorate your wallets as they have no real market value. And this is so since you are joining the airdrops group. If you want to invest, I think you have enough info on which coin and how to go about it by now.

The one who can wait will be able to earn on cryptocurrency. Don't panic and be patient. Leave your coins for 1-2 years and see how they grow, unless of course you bought BCH:))) while starting to learn how to earn free coins...this is a difficult but real task. Especially not requiring investments, for you just in this case will be relevant.

Hi everyone! It's been a long time. I have been going around on facebook and so forth learning more about crypto!
Thank you for your heartfelt msgs. :D

I did participate in the Coindrop event and various other airdrops. I am actually here to advertise my referral today hehe.
If you'd like to participate in the ZERA Drop this time (It's up to 1500USD, but I probably couldn't get that much haha),
check out my post on the airdrop forum. :D

Be careful with the coins that you are investing in, always make sure that when you are investing in coins you are doing so because you have done good research into them and you are convinced that the coins are going to do well. Another thing is that you should make sure that when you are investing that you are not putting in more money than you can afford to lose, it is very important.

I forgot to put the link to the Coindrop thing. Sorry. I guess you guys need this to check it out for me, right?
coindrop.link (http://coindrop.link)
I wanted to point out that you did not include the link in your post, but let me say that airdrop are good ways for new projects to invite investor's into their project and again they offer free coins to participants of the program but again airdrop alone can not give you the profits you desire so at that you need to make more research into projects that have great potential and invest any amount you can afford to let go unto it and wait for the right time before selling.

If you are truly New to this world ,then i will suggest that you your research and then when you think that you have red it all, do it again, only this time with other sources.
there are a lot of underwater rocks which will get you hard, you will lose money.

Also look for new projects which small market-caps , they have the biggest potential.
Yes. This is a good advice. There's no reason for the op to rush in investing. All he have to do for now if he's really a newbie is to study how things work in investing crypto otherwise he will just lose his money he used in investing.

From what you said, you already bought Bitcoin and lost almost 90% of your investment so I think you should carry out more research before considering investing or trading. I will also advice you participate in Airdrops and Bounties only if you have time to carry out the necessary task require.
