People are also saying that we're off to a bull market soon due to consensus 2018(May 14-16), as price increases occured some time after the past consensus events. Though not because it happened in the past, it doesn't automatically mean it's going to happen again this year.

What TryNinja said, but preferrably ran on a freshly installed linux operating system without ethernet and wifi drivers; just to be extra sure. Always take as much extra safety precautions when you're planning on safely storing good amounts of money.

Bitcoin being volatile as a currency is slightly an issue in my opinion. I mean, in a business point of view, you wouldn't want to receive a $50 payment that could be $40 tomorrow(though it could also be $60). But there's almost nothing we can do about it in my opinion. Volatility will decrease as adoption comes.

If you're planning on doing mining to pay off the costs of your whole rig, then personally I'd rather just get a job. Mining is just going to wear out and degrade your computer faster. Though it completely depends on what coin your planning on mining. Personally though? I'd rather do something else to make back the money than to do mining.

The only browser miner I know is Coinhive[1]. Though it's an XMR miner, not an ETH miner. But you could easily simply trade your XMR for ETH using shapeshift or exchanges, so in the end you still end up with ETH. But yea, it's really really unlikely for you to make profit off this method.

It is true that bitcoins experience delays in transactions or transfer in comparison with other crypts that have a fairly fast acceleration.
Bitcoin has been pretty fast and cheap since a few months already, due to the increase in segwit adoption and batching. Bitcoin was just slow and expensive last December-February. Everything is getting better now, as more and more bitcoin services are using segwit addresses. |

This is BS. $4 fees for 10 min transactions? This was in the past. With segwit adoption increasing and lightning network coming, this image is irrelevant. Also, speed is not everything. I'd prefer a slower coin than a coin that is significantly more centralized and cryptographically insecure.

I think 2 best online wallets for beginners
1. Coinbase (online exchange)
2. Blockchain.info (online wallet)
Nope. Coinbase should only be use as a platform for buying and selling BTC, and not as a wallet. Also, there are tons of good software wallet alternatives to Blockchain.info. Blockchain.info's wallet doesn't even use SegWit. |

There is a lack of decentralized exchanges. It would make sense to have much more of them because of the nature of bitcoin and crypto.
or the lack of good and easy to use decentralized exchanges. Personally when I first used EtherDelta, it was a UI/UX nightmare. If you have to do a Google search on a exchange's functionalities then the UI/UX isn't noob-friendly enough. Hopefully Binance's decentralized exchange will bring out something good. |

If it was a hacker, I would have expected them to just empty the whole wallet.
If it was a hacker, it's really possible that the hacker is waiting for your friend to deposit good amounts of crypto to the address, for the hacker to have a bigger heist in the future. Personally I'd just transfer the funds over to another wallet. I'd take every safety precaution I can when talking about my investments. |

Today one of the biggest manufacturers of mobile phone i.e. Huawei is pre installing btc wallets in their phones and that's a huge development and if I must say the Chinese are back with a bang. I'm expecting this shall surge the prices in the coming days.
What do you make of it, will prices rise (my guess yes), or a ploy to sell their product?
I personally don't think so. People are used to buying phones with lots of bloatware in it( those apps that are there that you can't uninstall, and that you never actually use). This bitcoin app they're adding just might fall unto the bloatware category. Yes, it's going to be there and people are going to see it. But I don't think much people would actually act on it and be curious about it. Any publicity is good publicity though, so I'd still say this is good news. |

If it's a transaction that he doesn't remember making and like you said the address is taking in and out a good number of BTC, then yes. It's most likely an exchange. Your friend might just did a deposit or a withdraw in the past that he/she doesn't remember. If your friend is a hundred percent sure that it isn't him/her that did the transaction, then tell your friend to hurry up and transfer his/her funds on a different wallet as his/her private keys might have been stolen.

Wasn't Facebook talking about adopting Bitcoin, or some type of crypto, as a currency on their site? I'm more of a conspiracy theorist and I think it might be done in order to stop adoption, like those who don't want crypto to be adopted(big bankers) 'force' the platforms not to list crypto. Then fewer and fewer 'every day people' who aren't much into computer stuff in general, won't be exposed to crypto, and maybe never read about it?  The bans was never to stop adoption. The bans was because of the increasing number of cryptocurrency scam ads on these platforms (e.g. DavorCoin, BitConnect, the recent BunnyToken, etc). These social media sites just banned crypto ads all-together instead as ignorant people keep falling unto these investment scams. Couldn't blame their decision to ban ads, to be honest. People complain that good projects wouldn't get publicity. But to be honest, I've never seen a single ad of a good project. All of the ads are either for cloud mining or ponzi schemes. If a project is good enough, it will gain organic publicity. We have r/cryptocurrency and we have bitcointalk for publicity of good projects. |

Probably going to be another BTC dump; but there's no proof that these BTC will actually be sold right now. What if the bitcoin is just being moved between wallets for multiple possible reasons? To be completely honest people shouldn't panic about this though; sure, price can crash once more due to a possible dump, but these price crashes due to the MtGox dude is only temporary. At some point he's going to run out of BTC to sell.

i am a beginner and on my way to become jr member, so i could join some bounties, but my friend told me a bad news that makes me down...he said to join bounty, we have to have merit, and more difficult to earn some btc recently....what should i do to get merit ?
You need to have a reason for being here that goes beyond wanting to make money on bounties. If your only reason to be here is to get in on bounties, then I have bad news for you. What kind of bad news you,sir ? I am not going to lie, i am here for get in some bounties, but i will so much appreciate if you tell me what exactly i should looking for in this forum, so i could take another clue that helps me be more useful What wiser meant was, if you're intentions in joining bitcointalk is solely to make money, then you should look for another way of making money instead. Like, you know, a job? "but i will so much appreciate if you tell me what exactly i should looking for in this forum". This forum is mainly for discussions about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. Not as a platform for people who know nothing about blockchain to make money off. I checked your post history; and it's pretty obvious you're only here for the money sooo... |

My friend told me that to get merits should be patien and wait There are good people who give it because now There are new rules to get merits
Unfortunately, patience enough wouldn't earn you merits. It's going to take good amounts of knowledge to be rewarded merits. No one is going to give you merits just because a user here is a "good person". People and I here have said this multiple times already and I'm going to say it again. If you're here for the money, don't waste your time and go get a job instead. |

Pretty much almost the same in terms of usability and storage. Also pretty close in price, too. Personally I prefer the Ledger Nano S because it looks almost just like a typical USB thumb drive. Whereas the Trezor looks too "gimmicky" in my opinion. Looks too unnatural. If I were to hold big amounts of crypto, I wouldn't want people to know that I do hold crypto. Hence I prefer the flashdrive look of the Ledger Nano S.

It completely depends on what you mean by "start crypto" here on bitcointalk. Be more specific on what your intentions are here in this forum.
