Yeah it was, but for a while. If we compare bitcoin price movement after the pandemic came with stock price movement after the pandemic came. I have my own assessment that bitcoin is better then the stock market. Even in the few time ago bitcoin price was trying to increase and touch $8000 which I think it can't be happened on stock market. Most of the stock market are slumped down and can't back to the original price. Seem like you need a free time to see bitcoin price movement and I suggest to see it per day.

Google platform had created that at 2017 ago 'bitcoin' was the most keyword which was crowded to use. Meaning, there're many people who got interested to having bitcoin to get a lot of profit. But now, we haven't saw it, the adoption against bitcoin is still lack that we get. Because if we rely on the oldest investor then I think bitcoin will never touch the past all time high.

There is safe way to choose sentralized exchange, you won't ever be comfortable to store your money there.

A good thing is depend on your intention, choose hardware wallet if your intention is for long term investment.

Choose centralized exchange when you have intention to be a trader, at least when you are a trader you will intens to see your asset on the exchange so when the bad thing come you can send all your fund to the right place.

I have no interest to be affiliator gambling just because most of my friend aren't like to gambling even most of them are afraid to heard about gambling. Whilst when have intention to be an affiliator then we should have more relation and a good thing if our relation is our friend. Maybe I'll be prefer to be a gambler although it is not an addict. I've been considered that gambling is my entertainment only no more than that.

Simple put, if your intention to make this thread for your income then you can easily buy bitcoin right now.

As for your analysis you can see its history. I mean bitcoin halving has been held for twice i.e at 2013 and 2017 ago, you can see the price movement of them before halving event happened.

Can we teach bitcoin like money fiat is? I mean if we give a learning about bitcoin through its system like number and etc it will be hard to be learn. And I doubt either that most people will get interest to learn about it. But I'll be agree if we give a learning about bitcoin through the economic directly, like we learn about money fiat like inflanation and deflanation etc. I think will be more liked by most people, other than that if we give a learning about bitcoin in profit side it will be good as well.

Honestly I never try to use decentralized exchange so I can't give an assessment against it. I may have to use my time to find more about decentralized exchange and use them as a refference.

I just have a comfortable feeling to use compliance exchange so far, so I never look decentralized exchange as my basic needs (I admit that is wrong behavior). I use binance and my local exchange to trade because both of exchange is freindly used.

I have never face any problem so far, just doing it simultaneously in my whole trade and saving my asset. I have my own principle, as long as the exchange is trusted by many people I have no worry to give my personal identity.

Don't be tempted by trading platforms that offer a lof bonuses and convenience especially it is new platform. There are many cases about it, I mean new platform which offer bonuses and even guaranteed to all user will always give profit because most of them are scam eventually. Same like you, I'll choose an exchange which have a good reputation such as binance. At least it will make me comfortable when I store my money there. As for profit that I get it is depend on my strategy and my experience, I can't blame the trading platform that I can't get profit because it is fully depend on my knowledge.

So you give an advice for bounty hunter out there, right?

I don't think this good idea, since as you may see how many bounties project that really legit and paid bounty hunter? And how many bounty project that paid bounty project and the project have good value?

I mean bounty campaign is not source way to make money, you need a job as well and I believe it must. And it will be good you spend your own money for investing or especially for trading. You can make a consistent profit from trading (although it is hard way but at least you can make it).

Has the projects been traded on the exchange?

If yes and those project have good price movement then I'l agree if bounty detective is good for bounty project. He is able to find bounty project which is legit and has a bright future.

Just often to see, the project is not scam because they distributed the stake for all bounty hunter but the project is not have value, worthless and bounty hunter didn't get anything.

What your intention to buy bitcoin? I mean did it for long term investment or short term investment?

So it is depend on your intention/strategy, don't be depend on someone's suggestion because they would be wrong.

But my decision is always hold when bitcoin price went down. I choose for long term investment and I'll never sell my bitcoin before the price that I need is reached.

You should go to beginner and help to find more information as a newbie to invest,  just click this link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0

As for a suggestion to your money, I think you have to make your own research. There is no good to depend on someone's else suggestion. Check coinmarketcap https://coinmarketcap.com/ as an example to find the coin, see the all time low and all time high for the coin.

Spend money that you can afford to lose, this is why I'm still gambling until now. Maybe if I try to spend a lot of money and gambling with my greedy I guess I'll be someone which have many problem such OP says, I'll be have many debt, have a life that is not harmonious with the family and insane at the end. Because some of gambler which I saw directly, if he can't control his activity to gambling most of them will have mentally ill in their life.

Actually we can force goverment to accept bitcoin if the bitcoin user always increasing day by day.

They will take an adventage to ask every bitcoin user to pay tax which I think they will benefited.

But currently, the user of bitcoin is still a little bit. There are a lof people who still doubt to use bitcoin and even they are afraid to using it.

The negative information against bitcoin still haunt them and they believe that bitcoin is not real which can dead at any time and make they lose money into it.

That's what I think too, the government will try to improve their own economic situation before freeing everything as usual. Also I just thinking, the lockdown will give bad effect for the economic's someone. Most of them will have no money because they didn't work before. You can imagine for at least three months with doing nothing, do they have money? I think they will have no money.

Don't you have any interest to bitcoin, do you?

If you have intention to store your money for long term investment I only have one suggestion that you should choose bitcoin as your portfolio.

There are many factors which can make bitcoin price is always increasing. Like now, we will face halving event that I think it will give a big impacf for bitcoin price.

I was trying to find some forums related to cryptocurrency and finally I only find this forum https://www.altcoinstalks.com/

Actually I'm not the forum member, I just tried to googling it and see the forum is similar with our forum right now because they have the signature feature like this forum you can see for more detail.

You have been one year on this forum and I just suprised that you still don't know the best platform/exchange to trade.

What have you been doing all this time? Don't spend your time to find giveaway or bounty campaign it will make you stuck at the end.

Also you don't need to make this thread just google it and you will find a bunch of platform along with the review from most poeple. And I'll bet that most of them will choose binace as the best exchange at this time you can choose it.

Most newbies to trade will be fail and go away not to trade anymore because they have no patient when they learn the basic knowledge against it. Moreovee if they bring the small amount of money to trade most of them will be give up because the profit is really small.

I'm not an expert to trade by the way but I often to trade and see some character (some of my friend) how their behavior when they do trade. I suggest to them to don't spend a lot of money first when they still how to trade but yeah they just ignore it and even some of them are tired and go away never come back. I think only a deligent person who can pass everything  and face some step when they started.

We can bring back the bounty project, airdrop and giveaway in 2017 ago to now. Moreover at this time a knowledge against crypto form most user are good enough if we compare with 2017 ago. First of all the developer should have good project in order to be interested by most people, that is one thing that should be done. You can see now the mojority of the project that popping up, most of them are worthlesss. The investor can't ever be seen the project and they will ignore them. This is why, there is no legitimate giveaway, airdrop and etc.

But by the way, I found this giveaway on bounty section and the developer will give a huge amount for every participant who won, you can check it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5239063.0
