I think if you are new and have little experience but want to buy a crypto market it is best to buy projects above the top 20 CMC. These projects are quite safe and can give you a decent profit if you choose the right time to buy. It's best to stay away from small projects and low transaction volumes.

That's not a good idea at all. If we're talking about top 20 on CMC, you are pretty much including the most obvious premium shitcoins like Tron(TRX) and shady coins that could crash down due to regulations like BNB.

Who gave him the title of "bitcoin evangelist"? He himself? This guy was shilling shitcoins, including bcash, like crazy, this alone is enough to disqualify anyone as bitcoin evangelist.

To be fair, "evangelist" shouldn't be a sort of authoritative title in the first place. Evangelist pretty much means someone sort of campaigning/advertising something(or "converting" people, when talking about religion), which he is, regardless if he is preaching Bitcoin in a good or bad way.

Though I don't know which jobs you should take specifically, probably your best bet would be to move there and look for and apply for a low paying job temporarily, and make sure that you network well and with the right people in the process. You're definitely going to need social skills if you want to climb up the ladder faster. Pretty much the same thing with other industries.

People here on Bitcointalk mostly thank helpful posts through giving them merits[1]. Unfortunately, you don't have any. So like OmegaStarScream said, you either send up some sats as a tip, or just a simple thank you would be enough.

Mcafee anti-virus is nonsense and the company will close down.

To be fair, John McAfee hasn't been in control of the McAfee antivirus since forever pretty much. In fact, it's so bad that the founder himself(John McAfee) is trashing on the software he once owned.

12006  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: John McAfee launches the McAfee Magic trading platform on: June 12, 2019, 03:28:05 PM
I doubt he has an actual hand in anything any more. He probably gets some asshole calling him up in a stupor and talking him into whatever springs to mind. When he comes round in the morning if there's some money in his wallet he goes tweeting.
Same thoughts. The dude that made the website probably just said that McAfee takes a cut on the website and he automatically accepts because munnyz. Most likely the same thing happened when the Apollo coin took up McAfee as their chairman.

Can anyone point to anything successful he's seen through to market directly created by him in recent decades? I'm coming up short myself.

Even if he initiated this it's probably been put together by some street kid he bought in the Bahamas and keeps chained up in the bilge.
Zero, as far as I know. The dude is just making a living off his name just because his name is quite famous in the technology industry in general. Dude be pumping shitcoins on Twitter.

Would you trust this man with your dust?

An exchange platform by an extremely controversial person and at the same time is being pursued by the government hence could be freezed and shutdown any time? Yea.. that would no doubt surely end up really really well for the users..  /s



EDIT: is this actually owned by McAfee? I mean, look at the registration page:



If this wasn't affiliated with McAfee I would automatically think that this site is a scam. It looks like something I would make in my first week of developing websites.

Why don't he just release it if he has something incriminating against them why wait till they strike him first this would seem like a blackmail.

It will most probably be worse for him if he prematurely exposed these corrupt government officials, assuming he really has these "files". Imagine speaking against Pablo Escobar when he was still in power. The situation would probably be similar assuming these corrupt government officials will go full force on him.

At the same time, it may also be because it's just all talk.

So a bank in Liechtenstein created their own trading platform. Alright. It's a good business move to say the least. I don't see anything special though? It's just a new trading platform and it just so happens that a bank started it. Technically probably no different than other legitimate and regulated trading platforms.
12010  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2019 - the year of crypto? on: June 12, 2019, 05:30:00 AM
People have been saying that 201x is the year of bitcoin or cryptocurrencies since when? since forever? As long as development of bitcoin and other decent projects continues going forward, then that's what matters.

Actually having SMS authentication can be a huge security problem. There have been instances in the past getting their funds stolen because of sim swapping. I suggest taking a bit of time to do some research on it.

As long as it belongs to that section and you don't violate a forum rule then it should be fine.

This. And to add to that, It'd probably be a better idea to simply edit and just adding stuff on your main post instead of making a new reply daily. That way, it's more cleaner looking and less spammy.
12013  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Begins to Be Used in the Football Industry on: June 11, 2019, 06:15:20 PM

Never said it was automatically a bad thing. Tongue It's only just another unnecessary token to be used for payments, but whatever. At least BTC and ETH is an option I guess; and publicity is publicity regardless if people would actually pay using crypto or not.
12014  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Begins to Be Used in the Football Industry on: June 11, 2019, 11:22:50 AM
Why did they accept this random token(EnergiToken) as payment though? Now it just looks like a sponsor, pretty much like how PornHub accepted Verge(XVG).


EDIT: Nvm. They accepted UTK not ETK. And yes, confirmed it's sponsored.

I double my 2fa on my PC so I'm not afraid to lose 2fa on my phone, I use authy.
but so far I've never changed my phone.

You don't need to do this. Installing 2fa on your PC only gives hackers another point of attack.

Simply use Google 2 factor authenticator, and back up the keys for you to have a backup whenever you lose your device. It's that simple.

I dislike him a bit. Dude got lucky by betting on bitcoin using a family member's money, and won. Now he's making those big statements. Looks like he's doing well though, I was expecting him to be like those boastful one hit wonder millionaires but it looks like he's doing really well in Silicon Valley right now. Good for him.

I use coin.ph wallet and poloniex exchange, both are very secured keeping crypto investment. I use coin.ph to store my bitcoin came from the poloniex or any another source of income. I use poloniex for my trading job.

Very secure, because? They haven't got hacked.. YET.

You need to do research kabayan. Coins.ph is also a custodial wallet, which you shouldn't use to store your funds. https://cryptosec.info/cryptocurrency-wallets/

Napa shutdown na ng FBI 6 years ago at lahat lahat ang Silk Road at iba pang similar Tor websites, tapos ngayon lang irereport ng Philippine media.  Hayahay Pilipinas nga naman. Naka internet explorer.

Investing in Bitcoin, usually requires a deep pocket, and for those worth little capital, they have the option of learning day trading or taking risks with ICOs.
You. don't. need. to. buy. one. full. bitcoin. If you want to invest in bitcoin for the long term, you don't necessarily need to go in on one go. You can simply dollar cost average weekly or monthly, to slowly but surely get your bitcoin stack up.
