Technology in general always has it's downsides. On blockchain however, the downside is right infront of you. Due to the pseudo-anonymous nature of most cryptocurrencies, there are a lot of hackers and scammers that are taking advantage of this characteristic. Causing them to get away easily with huge heists if they do their opsec right.
Cash is anonymous too. Even more anonymous than BTC. BTC is somewhat anonymous, but you can be easily tracked, unless you use a coinmix service. True. But can you scam online through cash? Pretty difficult as you need to expose certain information to receive physical cash. Crypto though? Significantly easier. Swap the coins/tokens to Monero via shapeshift then what. You're pretty much clean. |

There's no way to find out and prove if some bitcoin on a certain wallet is lost or not. Also, please give us more information. When you wanted to buy btc, what went to another wallet? Be specific.
And one more thing, bitcoin wouldn't transfer magically on it's own. Unless you had a bitcoin wallet on a certain device, and a hacker got access to your private keys one way or another, then sent the btc to the hacker's wallet.

It's really unlikely that you're going to be contacted by the site's admin here.
What can you do? Move on and do something else instead. Faucets are a waste of time right now. The main intention of faucets before is for people to have some satoshis to test out bitcoin. Not mainly for monetization.

As much as I don't like dash because I personally think it's irrelevant(we have BTC as a transparent coin, XMR as a privacy coin), price is NOT an indicator of a coin/token's success. Bitcoin can crash down to triple digits and still stay relevant. Dash isn't the only coin that's down that much.

To start things off, make sure you know what too look for on an ICO to have an idea if it's a scam or not. There are lots of information on the web about this topic. Though personally I'd highly suggest against investing in ICOs. If you want to invest, I'd personally rather invest in the top reputable coins instead.

If you want the reputable ones, then you're choices are quite narrow: only leaving you with either the Ledger Nano S[1] or the Trezor[2]. They're a bit similar, so which is best for you depends on personal preference. If you want something different, try out KeepKey[3], though I'm not sure if it's as secure as the first two.

Ask yourself instead. Why did you even join Bitcointalk? What are your intentions? If your intentions is to make money without any prior information whatsoever, then leave instead. You're not going to succeed that way. Where should you start? Just like with anything else, research and a lot of studying. A Beginner's Guide to Blockchain Technology by Coindesk. And of course, read the pinned topics. |

Bitcoin is good currency to use it and you can earn a huge profit by base currency as a bitcoin, Bitcoin trading is best because altcoin trading is a market which you can earn up to 10x of your investment,
Irrelevant to OP's question. Also, you can definitely earn up to 10x in trading; but you could also lose 10x. And another thing, stop advertising bitcoin as something that can earn people "easy profits". Thanks. |

There are simply tons of ways a certain person can practice his/her english. Me myself, I simply watched a crap ton of movies and movie-series(The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, etc). My grammar is not 100% perfect, but it's accurate enough(I think). I don't even know the sort of "grammar rules" or something, I just sort of decide if something is grammatically correct by deciding if a statement sounds right or not. The best way to learn depends on the person, it depends on what certain method he/she enjoys doing; may it be watching, writing, conversing, etc.

First off, how would you actually know if some bitcoins on a certain wallet has no owner? Like when a person accidentally sent bitcoin on a wrong address for instance. How would we prove it? Pretty impossible. If you see an address that had no movement for years, it may just be a holder's wallet hence there's no outbound transactions.

Bitcoin is a risky investment to start with. That's why you always hear or read the statement: "don't invest more than you're willing to lose". Because even though I'm highly bullish on bitcoin, it can simply just crash down to triple or double digits without any signs(a bit unlikely, but still very possible). It's simply just up to you if you're willing to take that risk.

You're new to crypto. But you're already planning on taking out $2000 as a starting capital for trading. Well, as you're a beginner, expect to have mostly losses at the start. Is $2000 the right amount? It depends. If $2000 is nothing to you then go ahead. Just remember that you're new, and it's very unlikely for you to profit as of now. I would definitely suggest trading with a significantly smaller amount for now so you wouldn't be affected by your losses.

the higher rank we get in, the more chances of earnings.
If your main intention to be here on bitcointalk is to make money, then you might as well stop right now anyway. The making-money aspect of bitcointalk should only be a sort of "plus" anyway for people who actively share their ideas and converse here in this forum. |

There are literally dozens of articles on the web and here on bitcointalk on this specific topic. Roam around the beginners section and look for posts that fit your request. Here are some: |

Just to let you know Mr. Potter: Looking at your post history, looks like you're going to stay at Jr Member for a while.
Have a good day!

Ask your question on the Trading Discussion[1] subforum instead. People will most likely help you there for free. Also, you'd get multiple answers and multiple points of view, which is definitely better. Best of luck.

Great analogy.
Unfortunately, most of the new people here register than immediately go with "how to earn in bounty?", "how to earn in the forum?" or something along those lines. I understand that a good number of people here are from 3rd world countries(including me) and trying to make a living, but man. They definitely could do A LOT LOT better if they study and educate themselves first before thinking about monetizing. The worst thing is, some of "those" new members are here because "my friend told me I can make big profit here pls help". Unfortunately some older members here are advertising bitcointalk as a moneymaking forum.
Dear sir, I agree with you I have seen almost the people here that they come here to earn some money/profit Not everyone here helps everyone, However, this forum seems different to me, although I can not even know the rules here, I try to learn new things. If someone in this forum asks for help (may it be a question or a request), I'm pretty sure there's always people who tries to help. Unless the question is along the lines of "how to profit", "how to get rich", or something that's useless and generic. I rarely rarely see a good question unanswered. |

You can through lending. But it's really really not advisable if you don't know what you're doing. You'd definitely wouldn't want to attain debt just because of your beginner mistakes. Why not deposit a small amount? $20? $10? Just to test things out.
If you want to learn without actually doing the trading though, there are lots of free resources on the internet on cryptocurrency trading. All it takes is a few Google searches.
If i use my money, i will not appreciate it and i can't enjoy what i've got easily. I need to work hardly to be good trader by learning from small thing. I have tried to use my money eventhough just $10. But finally, i just waste my time because when i got $100 from my $10 , i spent it easily to put it on one basket because of curiousity on particular coin. That doesn't make any sense. So you made $100 from $10 in the past, but now you're planning on "trading without capital"? Also, you can become curious and research about a coin from top top bottom without investing in it. You can through lending. Would never suggest this someone who may be a newbie at trading and possibly trying their hands at trading. First of all they wont get a loan without collateral. Second being a beginner at trading they would lose more then they would make - so they would end up in debt. Yes. Hence I said in my reply that it's not advisable if you don't know what you're doing. You can through lending. But it's really really not advisable if you don't know what you're doing.
