Title: I am a crypto newcomer , where should I start?
Post by: pptIox on November 17, 2018, 09:45:35 AM
My friend introduce crypto to me last month, and my friend also told me about this forum. then I bought 2 BCH few days ago, because I saw my friend also bought BCH. now there are 2 coins in my wallet called BCHSV. My friend told me that this is also BCH,but I still don't understand it. Now my concern is that their prices have been falling, and I don’t know if the price will rise again.
It was obviously a bad start for a crypto newcomer. Now what should I do, where should I start?
I have spent some time getting familiar with here. here are so many altcoins here, but I don't know which one is worth investing?

Newbie, read before posting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0) this is a good place to start.

If you are new to this some I believe your primary objective should be learning, before you consider investing. You do not just dabble into an investment options.
Read, learn more about this forum.

Don't bother thinking about what is good to invest, think about how you can get cheap prices and sell at high prices, all back to you. You only need to analyze every Coin you want to buy. I'm not great about this, but profits are I get enough. I am always interested in coins with small supplies. It would be better if you feel a loss while learning to trade, because from there you will know how to anticipate it, Good luck.

There are more than enough tools and online articles for you to do your own investigations,and as always it's important for users to make their own conclusions and speculations in this network and never adopt anothers strategy
Well I understand the panic you're in at the moment as the price has fallen and considering your new on board,but it's a regular phenomenon,the price is unpredictable and unstable,thats one very feature if the network you must get acquainted with
So it's now up to you to research on the factors that trigger a rise/fall..

But as always I'll advice you to hold on to your BTC
And invest in well established ALTS

In cryptocurrency you don't make your decision on others direction you should have first understood what cryptocurrency is about. Well you bought two Bch that is a good capital from my point of view. Well you can hold and see what happens

First of all, I think you should spend more time to learn about crypto currency, when you have enough basic knowledge, I'm sure you will know where to start. Goodluck to you.

Here is good place for you to start with cryptocurrency. I start with bitciontalk last year. You can get a lot of information just hang out in the forum. There are section discussion about trading and altcoins. I think it is better to read and learn more first and try to gain more knowledge before trading.

Read the articles on this forum & search in google. Alao you can learn using youtube vedios. There are a lot of things to learn before doing crypto trading. But remember you have a lot of things to learn while trading also. I believe the word learn & Earn. Follow it. You will be a successful trader one day. Im also still learning.

you should not invest upon others tips or because if your friend invested e might be having different plans , why dont you ask your friend only about what to do
and if your friend as good knowledge ask him only where to start from

If you don't know where to start, don't rush to invest in anything, but fortunately, you bought BCH, which is at least not a shitcoin. BCH is much better than other altcoins. Don't cry and wait patiently, it will go back.
You can often come here and go around, you can learn a lot of things, it will help you.

I always strongly recommend newbies to invest their time before investing their money. One should invest as much as time to do research about the crypto sphere in order to understand it. Sadly, most of the newbies expect to earn money in the first week itself which is not a wise expectation in my honest opinion, especially when they don't have much idea about it. Start with the beginners and help section where you will find answers to most of your questions as a newbie. Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is a payment system which gives some more advantages as compared to that of traditional fiat system and we should view it in that way.

Wow, your investment style is very dangerous. My friend named .bch is now facing a huge threat. This is not gambling, here is the investment! You should invest a small amount of money to learn trading knowledge and learn more about the differences between coins, such as why Bitcoin is so expensive or why Ethereum has smart contracts.

Hey the investment you have made falls under herd mentality, wherein you have brought because your friend brought it. When you bought bitcoins cash there was news of their fork happening, and their prices were falling down it's surprising you did not even do simple research. While you have Bch ABC and Bch Sv currently only Bch ABC is the legitimate coin just hodl your coins, once a guide comes how to fork the existing do it, so this way you'll get two more Bch coins so your total will become four. I would recommend you to invest in bitcoins, and for alts you can add ripple that's one coin I can say is worth investing.

Thank you for your help, I now know what Bch ABC and Bch SV are. But now both of them are falling, what happened? I am scared!
Will this market become better next year?

There no one that can assure you if the market will become better by next year. The prices are falling not only for those coins you hold but for every cryptocurrencies in the market, in short the crypto market is falling for awhile. And this can stay for long or its just a short time fall. And what you should do is create a plan and DYOR (Do your own research).

Don't be scared, as I've said if you DYOR then you are aware on what's the potential result of the market. Right now, you have the power to decide to sell both coins you have. You just imitated what your friend done by buying BCH and that's not your sole decision right? buying before the fork is okay but you should also lean on your own decision making.

Thank you, I feel better now, I will learn more about crypto, and I will not buy any crypto easily in a few months. If the price of BCH is not going back, I will not complain again, this was my own decision and wil not weaken our friendship.
I have started to like crypto a little bit now. :)

You should start reading and reading alot on this forum. Keep learning and learning that's the only secret to success. Don't try to jump through hard things trust me you will not get any further. That's based on my experiences.

firstly, welcome :-)

glad to see you have bought some all ready but I can understand your hesitation, as someone who has watched many coins come and go over the years, the best advice ~I can give is, do not rush in buying or selling, the price on many coins swing ALOT and make you panic sell when it goes lower, in retrospect its better to watch the market your interested in before you buy, but right now, you can either cut your losses and sell, as I am not sure when it will recover, or hold on, as I we all suspect it will recover at some point, so depends if you need this money or not, I would consider getting some BTC as price is low right now, I must warn you it can go lower, but can also get alot higher if you can wait, but never put in more than you can afford to loose, I guess consider it a gamble.

I know its not very definitive what I have said, but every market is very volatile, you need to be in it for the long haul really, trade safe and enjoy the ride :-)

Post by: Hung Yu So on November 19, 2018, 11:18:45 PM
I think this is probably a very good time for newcomer to join in, we are at stage where there might not be HUGE losses for beginners, but gain can be huge. So, in simple terms, we are back to few years, where Bitcoin was at low levels, and people were not exactly taking it seriously, when some took and made heavens!

As the actual question, I think the BEST place I suggest is Cryptolinks, as they indeed have ALL links. And one to try is to Buy with Cryptocurrency (https://cryptolinks.com/buy-with-cryptocurrency), as this can fantastic for beginner, aside from links for every aspect of Crypto.

Post by: leorjakum on November 19, 2018, 11:54:39 PM
Welcome...start by investing your time to study

If you feel safe to start buying, get a value (that you're willing to lose) and buy periodically, creating an average price.

Enjoy it.

Glad to hear that.

About the pricing of BCH, it's going lower and lower as the day passes by because people are jumping off to ABC/SV. But until the war against the two hasn't ended, there will be no proclaimed winner. Good luck to set of coins that you are about to consider soon.

I am also a newbie. My friend suggest me to start with altcoin or small trading to learn more and gain experience. You should think about his suggestion.
You can have your choice on where to start with your preferred coin but why start with altcoins if you can get straight with bitcoin?

Do you mean that I can continue to hold BCHABC and BCHSV and wait for my loss to recover?
Today the market continues to fall, the market is now horrible red.
Is there any way other than the transaction that can make up for my loss? I found a lot of bounties here? Should I participate in them, how much income can they bring me?

I think crypto is much better than gamble, I am very bad luck, I can rarely win gambling, I am even afraid of gambling.
I think crypto is different from gambling. crypto is very esoteric and requires real knowledge to master, and gambling is entirely by luck.
Damn 360 seconds, I can't post my post very quickly.

It depends on how long you can wait but this what's normally happen when someone is in loss with his coins. I've been holding also but not with these coins and waiting for the moment to recover. Yes, the market is in red and no one can tell you when it will stop.

Is there any way other than the transaction that can make up for my loss?
You can convert your coins into stable coins to retain its value in USD.

I found a lot of bounties here? Should I participate in them, how much income can they bring me?
No one is stopping you to join those bounties but many of them are waste of time and not worth to join, why I'm saying this? there are too many bounty hunters that are complaining on how many of them were scams. And with your rank, there are few bounty campaigns that you can join depending on your eligibility.

In order to determine what to invest you learn the basics of fundamental analysis, the Internet has a lot of information about it. After you find out which of the coins is worth the attention, proceed to the study of technical analysis. After that, you can try to trade a virtual account, for this you can use Velvet.exchang, according to the functionality, it is still damp, but there are convenient settings and there is a teaching material + demo, which is important.

You should start with altcoin first. The price of alt is good and it is also more stable than bitcoin.

Shut up, it’s a nonsense.
This is the worst advice I have seen this year. If you don't know crypto, you are better not start with altcoins. They are easy to lose value and very risky.
Bitcoin is more stable than any altcoin.

I jump to crypto cause I have so much debt. I remember the first time I learn by watching some crypto video in youtube and join some forum/ chat. Even though I think I know a little bit better than before  but the fact is not. Spending time and learn everyday still not much help cause my basic is not kind of this crypto thing or trading or technical about internet. Finally I found a thing that interesting for me, that were airdrop  and bounty.
I prefer to do airdrops and bounty other than investing, I'm not rich person which have $50-$100 in my pocket. My pocket was nothing, zero.
In several months later still not knowing much but finally I got my first $ from airdrop ;D  It was about $1029.
Well at least I know that crypto has some way for me to fill my pocket in "short" way, for me, without investing any money at all.
Btw I only use mobile phone to do airdrop and bounty.
Recently many scam airdrop/bounty, wasting time, sometimes, but I still love to learn more and more  to get more $ to pay my debt  :).

Your friend is correct, you received a forked coin which you have received from BCH forking. Now for your main concern about your investment, I believe there is nothing you can as of right now but to wait because as of the moment as it is already started dropping, you will not do anything good if you start selling your BCH as a loss. Just be patient and hold it, now you being a newcomer to the crypto industry you should try to read and search what you are curious about as you can learn while waiting for your BCH to rise back up again.

you should first understand what is the use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. You may download some useful apps providing you updated news or reliable market sharing and thoughts from these sites, since there are overwhelming of information at the moment. Cointelegraph is the first news update site I used and it is very helpful because you can simply click into some key terms to check out its' meaning in the news.

I do not encourage people trying out the investment when you are still not so familiar with the market. But if you are okay for any consequence, I still think you can treat your current investment as a trial, since you will be more curious about everything which may happen to affect your investment, pushing you go get to know more about anything. be careful and wish you enjoy the crypto market

What? Did you actually got $1029 from the airdrop?Which is unbelievable. ???
Although I don't know much about airdrops now, I see that many people here don't like airdrops very much. They all think that airdrops are scams or worthless.
This is just what I saw. If you have a good experience, please let me know, thank you very much.

you're welcome my friend, its very very important to check the market regularly to become successful in any businesses and so th cryptocurrency, always keep secure your wallet if its a hardware or paper, and some organiations giving away bitcoins to advertise their business, not all are real but not the all are fake tho, so stick out with the other who are already in this business to learn more and wish you the best.
you'd also like to look for some extra rewards here: http://j.gs/Bxau

1, Nobody knows the future.
2. You do not need anyone.

Having said that, my advice is to trade those alt-coins for bitcoin. not satoshi vision(BCHSV), not bitcoin cash(BCH), just bitcoin(BTC).

Rule No.1 DO NOT FOLLOW OTHER'S INVESTMENT UNLESS YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THE PROJECT YOURSELF!

You should understand the basic knowledge of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. So many cryptocurrency investors do not even know what blockchain is and they just buy the cryptocurrencies that seemly profitable.
If you are really interested in investing cryptocurrency, you should get to the basic information and grasp the daily news yourself. There are tons of videos and articles that explain what bitcoin is and how-to get the industry information. Bitcointalk and reddit are the amazing places that you can learn a lot about cryptocurrency.
