1. The ability of an investor to earn from it. I mean for sure, there are some here who are just interested in Bitcoin because of the fact that they can earn from it. I'm one of them, but as I learn Bitcoin more, I realized that it's more than just an asset where you can earn money from it.

2. Sharing what I know here increased my own knowledge because I believe that in order for me to share something here, I need to continuously learn something that's related to Bitcoin, and cryptocurrency in general. Well, I also learned many things since joining here in the forum as well, but aside from that, I also learned outside of the forum thru different videos online.

3. Learn, research, watch, read. Those are just 4 of the things a newcomer must do when they want to start their crypto journey. TBH, I did all 4 of them, but I'm watching more than reading because I'm more of a watch guy than a read guy. I learned more from watching videos, did some research at first, and read various threads here.

4. Memorable experience here in the forum? None I guess because I'm not interacting that much with people here. Yes I reply to some of their opinions, and posts here, but to interact like sharing some personal life etc. I haven't encounter one, and I think it will stay at that. Outside Bitcointalk, I heard many negative things already from the people that I know personally. Things like it will go down to X price, or it will not rise up anymore, or Bitcoin's a scam. Now they're the ones who are crying in different Facebook pages, feeling disappointed on themselves because of wrong beliefs with regards to Bitcoin.

5. Many. Bitcoin is the reason why I'm investing into different assets right now. Bitcoin is like the eye-opener for me into different assets like the Stock Market. At the same time, Bitcoin is providing me some additional income as well, and additional money to be used for investing into other assets.

Asking a question, and at the same time, promoting a scam exchange like Bitget. Good Luck with that.

Just to answer your question, it isn't effective especially if you have a small amount of money to be used for copy trading. I've seen some beginners in trading who prefer using the copy trading feature, and in the end they lose money. Well, I'm not saying that all of copy traders are losing money. It's just that, it's for lazy people, and even those experts who these lazy copy traders are copying don't always get profit. Copy trading gained popularity because it's like, you deposit a huge amount, select an expert trader, and copy all of his trades. Doings of a lazy trader.

I remember that this Bitget exchange has been promoted in Youtube by various Crypto influencers already. Well, they don't care if the one that they're promoting ended up as a scam because they only care for the money. As for the OP, you have negative trust already, so I would suggest to stop promoting that scam exchange.

Lillard's case isn't the same with Beal where they have a power on which team they want to go when they want to be traded. When it's in the headlines, I believed at that time that Dame will be moving to Miami, and will be playing alongside Bam, and Butler. Weeks have passed by, and there is no trade talks happening anymore. It seems like the Heat failed to get Dame because the Blazers wants more on them. A three-team deal might be possible with this one, but I will not be surprised anymore if Dame will be going to another team, and not with the Heat.

For Harden, he's not the same anymore. He believe that a team will still get him, but no one wants him anymore. Clippers? They don't want him anymore, and it seems like no other team wants him as of now, so chances are he might stay as a Sixer for another year again, and will practice with a very fat body again like what he did with Houston years ago. As for Lillard, I don't know which teams still want him currently, but like you said, the Heat will be doomed if they will not get Dame. Take note that they already let Vincent, and Struss which has a huge impact towards their success last playoffs.

Overall, I'm excited on which teams both of these superstars will land.

If we will say yes, do you have a strategy?
If we will say no, do you have a strategy?

You are creating a thread with a low quality post on it. Just asking a question? For what reason? Will you make a move if it will goes down below $27,000? If yes, then good for you, but just to take note, we can't predict the market, and no one can, so better make a plan if just in case that price will be reached a few weeks from now because it seems like the momentum of Bitcoin towards the upwards is slowly fading away, and we've seen some drops on it's price already. Right now Bitcoin is at $29,200, so it seems like the $30,000 will act as a psychological resistance again in the short term, and $27,000 might be the support.

Either way, I hope OP will make a strategy base on what we are saying.

So? Welcome to the forum.

There's no direct connection between the things that we are promoting to the discussions that is related to technology like you said. Anybody here can wear the signature that they wanted to wear. Anybody can promote the "technology" that you are saying if they wanted too. It's just that, most of us are promoting various things because of the fact that we can earn from it.

One thing also is that, those technical guys here can just go to Technical Discussion, and interact with different users there. I mean I don't see any connection in what the OP is saying LOL. Maybe he wants that users here will promote more about the technology that he is saying. It's either the OP is a newcomer, or just a mere troll here. Lock the thread, and have a good life.

He is just riding the hype of cryptocurrency, that's all... and maybe some free advertisement as well.
Overall, I don't think that the voters will vote him just because of the fact that he's a cryptocurrency supporter. Always take note that everything can change once he wins (if he wins). One day we might see him supporting cryptocurrency, the next day we might see him against it.

Some might say it already, but my first rule when it comes to these politicians is "Don't trust them." Whatever they will say to attract voters, don't listen to them. TBH, I might come to a point where I will not vote in the next elections because of this principle of mine. I'm not a US voter, but if I am, I will still not vote this one just because of the fact that he's a cryptocurrency "SUPPORTER".

One thing more is that, does he really bought Bitcoin for his kids?

TBH, I didn't expect that this contract will push through. Maybe the impact of Brown towards the success of the team for the past few years is just that big that they give him that huge contract. I wonder how will Tatum respond to this one knowing that he has more impact than him in terms of success.

Anyway, congratulations for him for getting the richest contract in NBA history. I just hope that his performance in the future will be better now than what it last season.

I will not say terrible, but the term "young" would fit better than it.

Not against your opinion, and I agree with the fact that he's on a team which is considered mediocre last season, but on the other hand, I think that the Thunder team has a future especially him. Just imagine how many draft picks they have in the future years. If 1 or 2 of them will be developed, and be an all-star alongside Shai, with that young age they might dominate the league for a number of years. Like you though, I was also surprised on how they performed last season knowing that they are a young team.

Don't expect too much on CP3 because he will likely play on the bench. It will either he will play on the bench, or he will be traded after the all-star. If he doesn't want the role, he will get traded. That's my take on him.

He's a great passer yes, but we know his history in the playoffs. I think if I will grade all of the performances of players in the playoffs in NBA history, he has one of the worst if not the worst. When they needed him the most, he will get injured. Anyway, as a Warrior fan, I will also bet on them on winning this season like always. Now they filled their problem last season which is the paint. They got Saric, Jackson-Davis, and Looney to fill that gap. They have better role players now than last season, so I expect their season to be better than last as well. They might get at least the top 3 spot in the West if you will ask me.

Why focus on Altcoins when you have the opportunity to buy Bitcoin with that huge amount of money? The question now is why are you asking this to us? Do you have that amount of money? If yes, then why are you asking help for us? Will you take our advice, and will buy the tokens/coins that we recommend to you? I don't think so. Sorry for being harsh, but you are just asking this for the sake of just asking, and in reality, you don't have the money.

Anyway, to answer your question, I will put 50% of it into Bitcoin, 40% of it into Ethereum, 10% in other top coins like BNB, Cardano, etc. I would like myself to be stress-free when it comes to investing thus, I put 90% of the total amount into something that will not give me stress, and Bitcoin and Ethereum have been the top 2 coins in terms of market cap for long time already, so the trust has been there already especially with Bitcoin.

Good luck OP, I guess, and I hope you will really take our coin recommendation seriously. I hope you really have $20,000.

Plagiarism checker? So you have doubts in your own words, eh?

If it's your own words meaning it came on your mind, didn't get any sentence/s online, and you built that post on your own then you don't need a plagiarism checker. Just don't copy paste online (or if you will, at least share the link here), make your own post, you're good. I've made lots of posts already, but I didn't ever try to get sentences online because I'm thinking it myself though there are times where I need to quote on some websites, I always post the link here.

Maybe it's a good thing to share OP, but it isn't necessary even for newbies to have a plagiarism checker as long as the words isn't copy-pasted online. Knowledge is power.

Well, as much as I want to agree with the fact that parents shouldn't teach Bitcoin to them at a young age, I think let's think of another way for them to get involved not on Bitcoin, but at least anything that's regarded to money matters.

Teaching them to save would be the best option as kids. I don't want to teach my kids Bitcoin in the future because that might overwhelm their minds at a young age, but instead I will just teach them how to save money then as they grow old, I will slowly teach them basics of investing, and as a teenager, that's the time where I will let them pick if they want to invest or not. If they wanted to then I will teach them, and vice-versa.

Let's forget the thinking of our children involving them to Bitcoin because they're too young for that. On the other hand, if your children like to learn Bitcoin, and interested on it then I guess you as a parent have no choice but to teach them.

If Bitcoin's banned in your country, just forget teaching it to other people.
No "doing it cautiously" kind of sh*t here. If it's banned by the government, don't do it unless you're ready for the consequences. Yes I like people who are sharing information about Bitcoin, but if that will cause you to go to prison, or if that kind of act of yours will cause you to alarm the government then is it worth it? I don't think so, so just don't teach them. As for Satoshi, he/she/they don't care TBH.

Nope I don't think that it should be spread secretly or cautiously.

In some places where there is a high crime rate then maybe you can do it, but there are some places where you are still safe after doing it. After all, sharing knowledge to other people doesn't mean that you have lots of Bitcoin right? As for schools teaching Bitcoin, in my country I don't think that there will every be a curriculum that regards to Bitcoin (correct me if I'm wrong though), but there are some countries that are teaching Bitcoin, I guess.

Again, why address Satoshi as a male, and why you use "himself"? Evidences??

I'm not teaching Bitcoin to anyone as of now, but I'm aware of my security once there will be people who might get interested in learning it. I believe that those people who are teaching Bitcoin to other people are aware of their own security.

I don't know if this is a problem or not. I don't know if this is wrong or not.

People are telling to people that Bitcoin can earn them money instead of the fact that Bitcoin is just like any other digital currencies out there where you can transact using it. People are sharing the asset-side of Bitcoin rather than the currency-side, and that's why people see Bitcoin more of an asset, and not a currency. Though there's nothing wrong because I look Bitcoin both as an asset, and a currency, but I guess let's teach them the currency-side of it as well, and not only the asset-side shall we?

Well, good for you, and for your community that you have been introduced into Bitcoin, and invested into it.
I just hope that it doesn't end there. I just hope that you, and your fellow farmers will continue to learn Bitcoin, and cryptocurrency in general, so that you can make more money, and learn more from it. I also hope that y'all know the risks that you are facing right now that you invested your money into an asset that's very volatile.

Maybe, maybe not.
What's more important is you know what you will do if the best days come (bull market = selling), and what to do if the worst days come (bear market = buying). Good luck with your investment, and I have a huge respect towards the farmers TBH because I live in a community where most of the people's jobs are farmers. Respect to you all.

The keyword here is "new investors".

I can consider myself a new investor if I just invested yesterday, but I have gained lots of knowledge because before I invested, I learned for at least a year. Now to answer what your co-workers said, new investors can still make profits even they are still new thru just buy and hold. On the other hand, new investors can't make profits if they don't have any skill or experience in trading because I believe that experience play a huge role when it comes to trading. New investors can still make profit, but not in trading (at least for me).

Buy and hold.

This is so far the easiest way to gain profits in cryptocurrency. Knowing that crypto is very volatile, and quite unpredictable, there's a chance that your money today might go up double digits after few weeks just by holding, but of course this isn't always the case as it might go down double digit percentage as well. This is how newbies can benefit from crypto investment. Getting profits thru this method will take a longer time compare to if you are trading, but it's safer, and lesser stress.

Right now, trading yourself would be a better choice than using AI.
I mean I'm not using AI or bots specifically back when I was still trading, but with AI slowly developing, and evolving, I believe there will be a time where trading bots will be more profitable than it is today that traders might prefer just using AI rather than just trading by themselves.

As of the moment, I think human trading is still a better option. Learning how to trade yourself is one of the best because if you are making money thru trading, it can be your skill, and at the same time you can earn money from it, but time will tell knowing that AI is evolving as the months, and years goes by. I will not be surprised if there will be a bot that's more profitable than what it is currently. An AI bot that can predict the future with a high accuracy rate.

I just don't know why as well, and I hope that the Celtics will not give this kind of contract to Brown.
Not even the possible GOAT Lebron James had this huge contract on his whole NBA career. Not even Steph Curry who is the greatest shooter on NBA. What can we call Brown? The biggest flop in playoffs?

Anyway, I just hope that the Celtics aren't that dumb to give him this contract because he doesn't deserve it TBH, and I know that many here will agree on what we said. He's just eligible for this kind of contract because he "barely" got to the All-NBA team last season. He's a good player like you said, but he's not in the levels of Lebron, or Steph, or Durant, or even with Kyrie, or even with his teammate Tatum. He's below all of them, and yet he's the one who is having a discussion regarding the "possible" largest contract in NBA history.

Aside from Lillard, and Harden drama, maybe let's add Brown to the list as well.

It's a good idea... or it isn't. It might be a good idea, or it might not be, but the question is how realistically this can happen.

Another problem is they're politicians, and I don't want to generalize all politicians around the world because I still believe that there are still good politicians out there who isn't corrupting at all, but most of the politicians don't stand to what they are saying months before the election. I still remember when our ex-president here in our country said that he will eradicate all drugs in our country in 6 months. Well, many voters fell to that trap (excluding me because I didn't vote for him at that time), and when he won as a President, 6 months after he said that "The problem was larger than I thought." His term ended already, but drugs are still everywhere. Anyway, I just shared a little bit of our history.

I don't believe that this will happen especially if it came from a mouth of a politician. This is just their way to attract more voters, but the reality is they will not do it. I don't even want to think on how he will do it (if he wins) because I know that he will not do it just in case he wins.

Sometimes, in order for an investor to learn, they need to experience it themselves. You're one of them.

You invested the money that you really needed base on what you said, but the only thing that you can do now is to move on, move forward, and learn from the mistakes that you've done. Many here experienced the same things that you experienced OP. I know that many here fell to these type of scams, and there are some who fell into different types of scams. Getting scammed once is still a good thing because at least you will learn from it, and you will not fall again next time, but getting scammed twice or even thrice then there's a problem with you already, and maybe just stop investing, or rather in some safe assets like Bitcoin, or Stock Market.

Don't pay them anymore. Many here already said that it's a scam, and I agree with them. Now OP I hope you learned a lesson from this mistake, and don't ever, ever do it again.

It all depends on the situation.

The reason why we got a savings account for emergency funds is because of scenarios like this where you need money to buy something or to pay something that's urgent, and was out of your budget. Will I resort to selling my belongings or properties in this case when needed? No for me. I think I'd rather go and take the loan because I think that I can still pay that loan in a few years. The interest is quite high yes, but there's a chance that you will be needing that property that you sold again in the future. I mean if it's that important to you then you will really need it. On the other hand, if you sold some things that you aren't need anyway, and you need money just to pay things then I guess selling is my first option.

Like I said, it all depends on the situation. There are times where you need to take a loan especially if the amount of properties that you want to sell isn't enough to cover those expenses, but on the other hand there are some people who choose to sell things that they don't need just to have money to pay.

TBH, I don't know why users are here are thinking like posting is a race where we need to rush? I mean why? Why are they doing this? Because they're excited to share what they know?

Anyway, that's why we have the "Preview" Button, and the "Edit" Button to change something that we need to change. Cross checking? I'm already doing that while I'm typing though there are some times where I edit my post, I only edit them because I forgot to add something to my post. Like what others said here, Grammarly is also useful as well, but I never used it in any of my posts here. Not a native language speaker here, but I did watched some Youtube videos in the past regarding grammar though I believe that I still make mistakes especially with the punctuations.

Overall, just forget the mindset where "Posting is being rushed" because this isn't a race, but it's just a forum where we are sharing information. There's no reward in being first to post in a particular thread.

When is the time where AI website like ChatGPT became popular? Just so you know, it's on November of last year that it went very popular that it broke records. Administrators here aren't just propose a rule out of nowhere with regards to AI being used here though I will say that I despise, and I hate those users who are using AI websites like ChatGPT, and the like to create more constructive post here, but right now there is no offense or sanctions to users who are using it.

I expect changes though if AI became more popular, and will be used more by users here though I don't how. A negative trust maybe in the future?

Merits, and Money

This is the primary reason why they are use AI. AI creates more constructive posts, and when some users especially high ranked members here saw that post, they have a high chance to get merits, and when they get merits, they increase their rank thus, they can join in a signature campaign where they can make money.

I guess I'll just let the Administrators of the forum address to this problem, and hopefully they will come up with a solution with this one.
