I'm not a daytrader per se, but you can't totally eliminate the risks. There will always be risks as no one knows with 100% guarantee how the markets will move. The way traders make money is to take advantage of the odds (e.g. if you think there's a 65% chance that x coin will increase to a certain price, then take that risk. taking in to consideration that you could also lose the trade, hence you only allocate a small percentage of your bankroll to the trade depending on how confident you are).

As always, I would always prefer using hardware wallets when holding good amounts of NEO and NEO tokens. But if you're just planning on holding small amounts of NEO/tokens, then your best bet would probably be the NEON wallet[1].

Which coin is better(BTC/BCH) is subjective.
Both coins have their own ways/solutions for scaling. Some prefer BTC's scaling solution(small blocks, off-chain txs), whereas some prefer BCH's scaling solution(big blocks, on-chain txs).
People should stop shitting on each sides. May the best coin win.

There are already so much newbie-focused groups already. We have r/BitcoinBeginners[1], we already have the Beginners & Help section here on bitcointalk, and other communities and forums. Why is there a need to create another group??

What was it like? Just the same as being a newbie at any kind of skill/profession. The feeling of not knowing a lot of things. But this can easily be fixed by just simply reading a lot and doing a lot of research. Everybody goes through the newbie phase. The question is, are you willing to spend time to get out of the "newbie" phase?
I'm in no way claiming that I'm an expert though. I've been in the crypto space for almost 2 years and I still feel like a newbie. So much stuff to learn.

To answer your topic question, I still think of USD, PHP, GDP, and other fiat currencies as money. Simply because fiat money is still the widely used currency worldwide. Still have huge hopes for BTC though.
Also, it's funny how we're getting so much positive news and adoption this year, but still the prices refuse to go up. If this was last year a single positive news pumps the prices by at least 10%.

Basic Attention Token is definitely a decent project, no doubt about that. But you're crazy to think that this will "destroy" Facebook and Google's advertising monopoly. They're simply too ahead. Is it impossible for BAT to be a decent competitor though? Of course not. BAT definitely has a chance. It's just going to be really really tough to go against the biggest companies like Facebook and Google.
EDIT: this is definitely the wrong subforum.

Price is not an indicator of a coin/token's success. Bitcoin could be as low as $100 and still succeed by being well adopted(though adoption would most likely increase the price). At least now we have significantly less price-related memes on communities like Reddit.
Don't get me wrong though, I definitely want a price increase(who doesn't?).

Unfortunately most people in the Newbie-Jr Member range don't even exert a bit of effort to make decent replies; then you see them complaining that the higher-ranks don't notice their posts and only give merit to Sr members and higher. It's really stupid. I'm really thankful for this merit update.

Good overall decision as laypeople are more familiar with the ".com" domain. Probably only us on the bitcoin/cryptocurrency space are used to ".info" domains just because of blockchain.info. While I'm going to miss the ".info" domain, we just need to understand that they're doing that move for their business to prosper.
It's going to take a while for me to get used to typing blockchain.com instead of blockchain.info. But then again, they're most likely going to redirect .info traffic to their .com.

I have recent been considering using my wallet on my mobile phone because of mobility and portability. Thanks for the friendly reminder, this is indeed a crucial issue to be mindful of.
Go for it. Using a mobile wallet is fine, as long as you don't put all your investments in it. Only use mobile wallets as a "hot wallet", whereas the funds in there are the funds you use when you're planning on transacting with bitcoin, for convenience. Personally I'd leave a maximum amount of $100 on my hot wallet.

I also when joined the airdrop, I avoided projects requiring KYC by addressing the ETH with a message from a website to protect my wallet. Also I save Keystore file, Private key and password in usb drive, CD when I need to connect to computer to use. Conditional use of cold wallet Leger wallet, TREZOR will be safe.
Do NOT save your private keys on USB drives if you don't know how to do them safely and securely. [Guide] Secure air-gapped crypto wallet storage method https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2828437.0

Airdrops shouldn't be a problem. So what if they didn't give you anything? You didn't pay them anything either. Just make sure you're not linking your personal accounts to these airdrops. I'd always suggest for people to create separate social media accounts for their airdrops.

The government has not banned bitcoin nor any other crypto. I'm from Spain.
And do you have any reliable sources to prove it? Just kidding ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) They can't prove it. As it turns out, the story is true. But just before the announcement, they had to recall for a few more days to get the press release correct. They are only fighting over some details. Ban is coming next week. This is big. Spain is important. Didn't see this coming for sure. Not sure if sarcasm.. THAT'S FALSE - Bitcoin has NOT been banned in Spain
The government has not banned bitcoin nor any other crypto. I'm from Spain.
Who says bitcoin is banned from spain?i never had read any post in the whole forum about saying that spains banned bitcoin because as far as i know this country is a supporter of cryptoworld and wont do this action to add burden to this great coin A post was made here in bitcointalk yesterday, claiming that bitcoin was banned in Spain. The topic has been deleted already. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fv1bwU2O.png&t=663&c=mysezdfLSEMdDg)

as a rule whenever you hear some country has banned bitcoin your first assumption should be that the news is false. and it is true in 99% of the cases. the problem is the news sites that we have do not care about honest journalism. I don't think journalism exists among them anymore, they are all money machines that are trying to make the most out of this ecosystem. so what they do is that they continue publishing the most controversial stories to get the most visitors and earn the most from their banner ads and the traffic. they don't care about the source or even legitimacy of the news. that is why we call them click baits
In this case, there was no article, no media involved. It was just one made-up post with no links, no info, just a totally unrelated yt video and I think that topic got way too much attention, kudos to the mod that trashed it. Topics like that just scream the need for a new kind of newbie jail or at least prevent low-rank users to start topics all over the forum. Just take a look at his topics, all FUD. Yep. Was curious too why OP made this post. I haven't seen any news about bitcoin being banned in Spain. So, I did a Google search. And this came up: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fv1bwU2O.png&t=663&c=mysezdfLSEMdDg) And fortunately, the post is indeed deleted. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4515493.0

First off, good move on actually thinking on securing your investments. Some people simply buy the coins on exchanges and leave them there. If you cant afford a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano S and the Trezor, then the best you could do depends on how computer-savvy you are. You could use install your wallets on virtual machines for more security. But assuming you don't know how to do those things, just install those wallets on your computer and make sure your computer is as safe as possible. Don't download random crap, and do scans a few times a week(with software like malwarebytes). This might help you out: https://cryptosec.info/guides/crypto-investment-dos-and-donts/
EDIT: If you're planning on just holding your coins and NOT use them soon, you could safely uninstall the wallets on your computer. You're safe as long as you have the wallet/private key backups.

You said it yourself. Prices are very unpredictable. So no one knows for sure if now is the best time to buy bitcoin, especially if you're planning on holding it on a very short time span(2 months). If you're only planning on holding for a short time-period then it's pretty much almost like a coinflip. Make your guess.

Try to take part in several ICOs spreading the budget. Some of them may be scam, some wont bring any profit, others will show good results. Also try to take part in global projects, with experienced team and good reviews
"others will show good results" Yes. But only a small percentage of it. ICOs aren't that much of a good investment now, compared to last year whereas you pretty much make profit with almost every ICO. Why not just invest in the current reputable coins? It doesn't have to be bitcoin alone. There are lots of coins/tokens with decent use-case.

Head over to: For trading Tools: https://coinsources.io/#trading_toolsand look for the trading guides sections on both sites. Though I can't promise you that articles listed on both these sites would make you a "professional trader", it would probably be enough information to keep you busy for a while.
