Honestly if you made an ERC20 token and you don't have an idea on how to do things then you shouldn't be starting your own coin/token in the first place. If you're going to take things seriously, these things should've been planned out since the start.
The only reason I would advise an inexperienced person to make their own coin/token is for educational purposes only. Which obviously isn't your goal as you're actually planning on marketing your token.

Head over to: and look for the trading guides section of both sites. Listed are a few links on guides to cryptocurrency trading. Best of luck.

I honestly would edit out my name in your post if I were you. It's not necessary to expose your real name here on bitcointalk. Anyway, personally I'd first go with Coindesk's A Beginner's Guide to Blockchain Technology[1]. That should keep you busy for a few days. Best of luck.

Topic: Bitcoin Price Jumps as Square Case gets a BitLicense from New York State
It's funny how we're now referring to a $100 increase as a "price jump" now. Whereas if this would be months ago then we wouldn't even notice the $100 increase.
Anyway though, Square is a huge huge deal. People already use Square, both bitcoiners and non-bitcoiners. So bitcoin being available on Square, makes purchasing of bitcoin less tedious as people wouldn't need to register on another platform like Coinbase.
Also, Like BrewMaster said, this might be the news that would slightly pull the price higher. Though people shouldn't expect this to occur in a snap of a finger. It will take time.

Checked your posts. Your posts are too generic. Try to provide more depth and more explanations to your answers. Your posts are pretty much like:
Question: What is a hardware wallet? Answer: A device that holds your coins.

Print your private keys to any form of paper that you can keep for safety. Don't trust your memory even you are the champion in memory verse challenges, it isn't enough to keep your funds.
This. Even if your memory skills are top-notch, you could easily lose that skill on an accident like hitting your head hard somewhere. You can also create a file on a notepad and save it to a flash drive and don't use that drive to any computer that you don't own. Don't use it to public places.
Huge NO. This is a huge security vulnerability. Yes, you can safely secure your private keys on your computer or a flash drive, but it's a lot lot harder to do securely than just saving it in a text file. Saving it straight off in a text file is a BAD BAD idea. To store your keys on a computer safely, you'd have to make an air-gapped device; which is definitely not easy to do. Keep it simple. Pieces of paper on multiple secure places.

What the heck is a "greenhorn"?
It is an English word used to describe that someone is new. In short, someone who is a beginner and someone who still doesn't know the basics. Yikes. Thought it was a word that only people from a certain country could understand. I expect people to use "beginner", "noob/noobie", or "neophyte". So.. yea. Welcome, I guess?

Hi everyone! I'm a greenhorn and I am enthusiastic to learn more about cryptocurrencies and how it works. Hoping to meet and learn from you all.

A new account claiming to have had 700 btc, but probably doesn't know enough hence getting scammed (assuming what you're saying is actually true). Also, thinking you could do bad things with only 100+ miners. You're going to need a lot more than that. Yeah sure 700 btc.

Countries "approving" bitcoin just makes it actually legal to use and accept for merchants. correct me if I'm wrong
But not necessarily, some countries don't consider bitcoin as "legal" (or illegal). Yet, merchants are accepting it as a payment methods. In my opinion, the only benefit I can see from making bitcoin legal is earning peoples trust because people have this idea that bitcoin is used for bad things only (darknet) or that they will lose their money (mt.gox) etc. but after legalization, they'll know they are protected. Well, true. Since bitcoin isn't "illegal" (but not formally "legalized"), merchants can accept it as a payment method. But wouldn't the government sort of "pursue"(for a lack of a better word) the merchants that used BTC if ever BTC were to be banned someday in the future?

First you say that cex.io got hacked, but posted screenshots that are quite irrelevant. And now that you couldn't give us any other sources you're putting up posts how cex.io is a bad exchange? Are you intentionally spreading bad news about cex.io here? Because it isn't working, just to let you know.

There's so much beginners guide to bitcoin on the internet so I don't know how making another one that's miniature in comparison is really necessary. If you want to earn merit, make something actually new and helpful. C+ for effort I guess?

Bitcoin actually doesn't require approval to be used anywhere. You can use it as long as you have internet connection and a device.

Never heard of that exchange. First off, why do you even plan on trading on that exchange? There are lots of better exchanges out there, like Binance. If you're planning on trading new ERC20 tokens, then use EtherDelta[1] instead. It's a decentralized exchange, so no one is going to run away with your money. The only issue is it's pretty difficult to use for your first time. You're probably going to need a few guides before you understand how to use it, though it's definitely worth it.

Go for MyEtherWallet(MEW)[1] if you're holding smaller amounts of ETH and ERC20 tokens. Go for a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano S[2] or a Trezor[3] if you're holding more than a thousand dollars worth. I would suggest making paper wallets if you know how to do it, but it's pretty difficult to make in a secure manner, so go with a hardware wallet instead.

There will always be manipulation to a certain extent to any kinds of markets. On bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general though, it's possible, but I really don't know for sure. There were article posts on how tether(USDT) inflated bitcoin's price. Personally I don't know enough about this topic to come up with a conclusion. Take a look and decide for yourself: http://time.com/money/5310924/bitcoin-price-manipulation-tether/

All publicity is good publicity.
Well yea, but I'd definitely take sort of "good news" publicity rather than the hackings, money laundering, etc kind of publicity. But then again, I think it's almost impossible to make an enjoyable movie about good things about bitcoin. A documentary would fit better on that category rather than a movie drama. The movie comes out in 2019. And the halvening is in 2020. So I'd say the movie will help lift bitcoin's price in the run up to the halvening.
Not sure if a halvening will do a significant positive impact on the markets, but let's see.

Personally, even though OpenBazaar is decentralized(which is better), the number of people using it is quite low that I'd actually prefer selling on Purse.io instead, even though it's centralized. I mean, so what if a platform is decentralized if no one's using it, right? Almost like putting up a mall in the middle of the desert.
I've heard that they're planning on making big changes to it though. Mobile apps and such. Still hoping for the best for it.

Looks like a decent cast. I wonder how this will affect people's views on bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general though. Movies about money laundering and heists through bitcoin doesn't sound too positive. But then again, I really don't know if there's a way to make a sort of "positive" movie about bitcoin. And also, publicity is publicity I guess. I'll take it.

If you're going to affiliate bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, or any kind of markets in general with astrology, you might as well buy random coins and hope for the best instead. I don't get how you can predict people's emotions on the markets with the movement of the stars and such.
