The Internet is full of tips, tricks and rules to deal with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But no one can guarantee that the investment will bring you the desired result. The crypto market is still too dynamic.
Crypto market is similiar to stock market. You can't predict it unless you have insider's info. Crypto/Bitcoin markets are more resilient to insider's info because there is not much possible info that could shake market. In general without insider info its pure gamble. I wouldn't call it "pure gamble" even if without insider information though. Sure it's still damn risky, but by doing extensive research on certain projects you could decrease the risks slightly, even though good projects =/= profit(as I still can't comprehend how a project like EOS is in the top 5 spot on CMC). There are available trading simulation out there. You can sign up and start trading using the simulation game and by that you will learn more application knowledge than just theories.
Here's one, for those who are wondering: https://bitcoinflip.app/

Since blockchain came into mainstream all these centralized entities like governments, banks and other organizations with a reasonable amount of clout are put in danger and therefore they are taking all measures to make sure blockchain dosen't reach the common man. They are trying so hard to spread a propaganda against cryptocurrencies and they want to make it look like it's a crime to buy cryptocurrency.
Even though this can be possible, that's definitely quite a conspiracy theory you have there. I personally think it's more of the ignorance of people rather than them actually intentionally spreading propaganda; as it's kinda obvious that most people in the government(due to their statements about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general) are quite oblivious when talking about technology.

There's definitely demand, but there's not enough demand for services like Coinbase to implement something like this. Why? There's too much coins and tokens. Unnecessary dev time. Not to mention most people cash out using BTC and ETH anyway.

It would greatly help if you would specify what kind of vouchers you're looking for.
I assume it's as per title the OP is after a Perfect Money Voucher. Oh whoops. I though OP was referring to purchasing vouchers via pm(private message). My badAnyway OP, might want to take a look at this: https://www.bestchange.com/bitcoin-to-pm-voucher.html

I can't access this site, and it said something like this ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F4BjBGOS.png&t=663&c=QsY900JNc4CSIw) Looks like this site isn't legit. Woops. I must have remembered the site wrong. Anyway, edited my reply to prevent potential problems. Thanks for the heads up.

Based on what I've read on the Uphold helium page[1], it seems like this "automated investment app" is a sort of trading bot I assume? I don't know, but the information on the page[1] sounds is pretty buzzword-heavy. Probably try it out for the lulz if you have money to lose? I personally wouldn't though. These sort of "investment" platforms are usually bad news.

On the top of my head: I haven't tried them all as I've only seen advertisements of these, but I've already tried Purse.io. The adding of items is a bit tedious as a seller when setting up variants and stuff, but whatever. It works fine. Check it out.

It definitely creates more scarcity, but it also definitely doesn't guarantee a rise in price. Demand is still going to be the main factor here, regardless of how much bitcoin is entering the market.

You need to think before you block all advertising. Content producers rely on advertising revenue to reward them for their creations. If everybody blocked advertising, then it would be the end of much of the free Internet. You would have to pay to access content. This is already starting to happen, and the demonetising of many YouTube accounts is causing them to move to other platforms. This is not quite the same as ad blocking, but it has the same effect.
Ok, you have a good solution for dealing with hidden mining :? I understand that this is their earnings, I do not mind advertising, but I have not yet found a solution that will warn that my computer is being used while I'm on the site. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I think most antivirus/antimalware programs detect these browser mining scripts now(correct me if I'm wrong, I'm think malwarebytes detects this). A solution for mining scripts though? Probably don't go to shady sites. Reputable sites with mining scripts will most likely inform you that their site does contains mining scripts; compared to some less-reputable sites that doesn't inform their users at all. [ You need to think before you block all advertising. ~snip~
Ok, you have a good solution for dealing ~snip~ U can use the No coin - Block miners extension for Chrome, just look for it on google. There is also a version for Firefox on the web. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Is there any mobile version extension for chrome and Firefox app, Sir ? AdAway[1] for android, it pretty much blocks ads whatever browser you use. Though it requires root access. Though you might want to try out Brave browser[2] for mobile, as it has a built-in ad blocker.

It depends. The "hodl" mindset is better for those who usually panic sell when the markets go crazy low and drop like where we are right now. But when actively trading for profits though? You get 1.5x - 2x profit? Sell and take profits! No need to get too greedy when doing trading, hoping that you're going to get more profit. Being too greedy usually ends bad, most of the time.

1. Use a hardware wallet. If you can't afford one, make sure your PC is clean and use an open source desktop wallet (e.g Electrum) that give you control over your private keys.
I can't believe how some people actually buy hardware wallets but save their seed on a .txt/word file Why would that be risky? If there's no internet connection on a clean pc and put it into a usb-stick? One back-up and put them into a safe location. What I was referring to are actually personal home computers and mobile phones, hence, chances are that they're connected to the internet most of the time. Also, I wouldn't hear complaints about these stuff on social media if the seeds we're actually backed up properly and securely.

Though it's true that other coins and tokens are definitely dependent on bitcoin in terms of price as they rise and drop with bitcoin, they're not 100% dependent. Other individual coins and tokens can rise and crash simply due to lots of buyers and sellers. Some coins and tokens can rise and crash even if bitcoin is only moving sideways.

This, and actually write down the seed on a piece of paper. I can't believe how some people actually buy hardware wallets but save their seed on a .txt/word file or their mobile phone's notes app. I can't believe how people with 6-digit portfolios be THAT careless.

The blockchain isn't even currently congested. We currently only have 4195 Unconfirmed Transactions[1]. A 10sat/byte transaction fee would go through in no time. It means the fee that you or the sender used is very small. Maybe tell us what the transaction fee that was used?
[1] https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/unconfirmed-transactionsthis is exactly why i say looking at the "number of unconfirmed transactions" is misleading! you won't gain any valid information by knowing that. there may be 100,000 unconfirmed tx in the mempool but paying 2 satoshi/byte can get you a high priority transaction. or there can be 100 of them and paying 100 s/b still won't get you anywhere. in first case 100K tx can be paying 1 s/b (and that is similar to what is happening right now) in second case 100 tx can pay 101 s/b and also their total size can be bigger than 2 MB. there are a lot of unconfirmed transactions but they are all paying 1 satoshi/byte which means paying a little higher (even 1.1 s/b) can get you a high priority *snip* True. The number of unconfirmed transactions is definitely not the #1 factor to take in to consideration here. But that's why I also noted that the transaction fee is most probably too small because it would've most likely went through if the transaction fee was decent.

I've read a lot of posts like this about people doing similar things in the past. It's definitely a thoughtful gift for your young nephew, especially if he gets fond of blockchain or technology in general in the future. Go for it! Just remember to have protection for the paper. Probably laminating it yourself would be good enough for a little bit of water-proofness.
And also, make sure you know how to make a paper wallet securely. You definitely wouldn't want your 18 year old nephew in the future scanning the QR Code and realizing that the BTC was moved out a decade ago, by someone that's not you.
You have a good vision with your nephew because you are thinking of her future. Now you just have to be complacent because if you give it that's really not going to be lost and it's okay. It's been a long time since it was once used to discover that bitcoin would be fun. But it would be nice if you just have a copy just incase to lose it and make sure you do not use it at the time of your squeeze because you've shared it with your nephew.
Thanks for your advices, I really want to do it thinking on how happy I wolud be if somebody have done something similar for me 6-7 years ago o.o Do you think 0.01 BTC it's enough? I really can't imagine how much could it value from 15 years to now Hey. You're only 22. and you just said that 0.01BTC is the best you could give right now, so there's definitely nothing wrong with it. That's still a decent amount right now that could be significantly more expensive in the future, since that 0.01BTC is going to sit for more or less 14 years. That's a pretty long time. That 0.01BTC could be worth multiple digits in the future( or worth almost nothing, depending on how BTC goes).

Well, bitcoin was priced significantly higher last January than right now, so obviously you're probably going to make less money(in dollars) right now as the price is significantly, not taking in to consideration the mining difficulty.
But shouldn't the other coins be disconnected of BTC market? therefore the mining reward will vary depending on the coin & its difficulty? Oh yea. The other coins do have different mining difficulty levels and rewards compared to bitcoin, so it does depend on what coin OP is talking about. But the prices of other coins(and tokens) highly depend on the price of bitcoin. They pretty much rise and crash together.
