Hi, my father do not have access to my account. And he sent me some money in btc and i want to use it on neteller then for gambling. Just do not want him to know that I use it as deposit for neteller.
He shouldn't know unless he has access to your account or unless he checked you address on a blockchain explorer like I said on my previous reply.

If your father took a look at your wallet address on a blockchain explorer[1], you father can see that you sent your bitcoins to another wallet, but I don't think your father will know that you sent it specifically to Neteller.

1) Should i get an antivirus for my pc ? Windows Defender(built in on windows) and probably an anti-malware software like Malwarebytes[1] should be good enough. No matter what
.....
Thanks for the post , for 2) i do have a hardware wallet , but for that is mainly for holding BTC. for exodus , around 6-10k is that safe ? or need a better secruity . What hardware wallet specifically are you holding? Why can't it hold ETH and ERC20 tokens? When holding 6-10k in value, I'd definitely still prefer a hardware wallet. Sure exodus is safe, but if your device is compromised, then your screwed. Better safe than sorry; use a hardware wallet. ledger nano S, as for ETH and ERC20 token is just for trading purpose. okay ,in terms of secruity , which for frequently use , trezor or ledger nano s ? Both should actually be safe enough. It just completely depends on how you store your recovery seed. Make sure you just store it non-digitally, in a piece of paper or on a Cryptosteel[1]. Never store your seed on a computer or a mobile device; no matter how safe you think your devices are.

What do you need help with specifically? Anyway, always study first. Whatever your plan is on the blockchain ecosystem.

No matter what antivirus software you use if you're always willing on clicking some shady links then you're going to get infected anyway. 2) Any good/safe wallet for me to safe my cryptocurrency ? ( Not long term - not hodling , just for trading purpose , does not want to put it on my exchange , as exchange is never a good option )Depends on how much you're holding. If you're holding a lot, then I'd still recommend a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano S[2] or the Trezor[3]. If you're not holding much, then probably Exodus Wallet[4] should be fine.

Sure, you can definitely call it a bubble if you want. and it has already exploded; not once, not twice, not thrice, but multiple times. And guess what? You've seen nothing yet. It's going to continue to pop and pop and pop in the future. But in the end, bitcoin doesn't care about the price. Development and adoption goes on whether bitcoin is $100,000 or $10,000 or $1,000.

A program that automatically sends out your bitcoin to the scammer's address? If this is true, sounds like a very targeted hack. I really doubt that's simply going in to a "chat" is what caused it though. Do you have any source?
Also, the client has over $2.6m worth of bitcoin; on a hot wallet? Come on now.

Bitcoin's price has been very volatile(unstable) since forever.
As with the price, a lot of people has their own analysis on bitcoin's future price. The problem is that some are bullish on bitcoin, and some are bearish. So to whom should we listen to? I personally don't know either. So what do you do? Wait it out. Time will tell if bitcoin will go lower or get another all-time-high this year.

If you'd ask me, I'd also think now is a decent time to buy bitcoin as it's price is currently very low(though it can go lower, who knows). Though if I was in your situation, would I sell my house and car? Definitely not. What if bitcoin crashes lower to let's say, less than $1000? Though it's quite unlikely, I wouldn't take that huge of a risk as I could end up homeless if that happens.
Always remember that it's not guaranteed for bitcoin's price to go back up in the future. But of course I hope it would.

Hey all, I am very new to crypto. Cryptocurrency is becoming a routine topic to talk about in households today.
The biggest issue people always bring up is that it is very difficult to use it to buy real, tangible products. Does anyone have any ideas of how to do this with limited fees and restrictions on the consumer? And are there any ICOs that are trying to solve this problem?
Crypto currencies are very popular now a days so we can be very common to bitcoin investment so i think most of tge people in the world are using bitcoin all over the world so it is common in future day's . Not because people invest in bitcoin it doesn't automatically mean that these people are actually using their bitcoin to transact. Most of the people that invested in bitcoin doesn't even know the importance of it and why it's made, most invest because bitcoin was on the rise last year.

Yes, I agree with you we see that there is a lot much more potential to altcoin regarding with the fees and speed like ethereum and such, having the ultimate possibility to surpass bitcoin.
I suggest that you try transacting with bitcoin right now as you have no idea on what you're talking about. You and OP must be living in an alternate universe or something. If anything, BTC transactions might even be cheaper than ETH transactions right now, or at least equal in fees. Well at least you already got your precious post count eh?

Are you still stuck in 2017? Or are you just posting this just for post-count purposes? Because I don't know what coin you're actually using as bitcoin has been fast and cheap for like 2 months already. Currently we only have 2012 Unconfirmed Transactions[1]. I could send a transaction for like 10 cents and it would go through in no time. Just shows how a lot of people here are only for the airdrops, and nothing else.

I think everyone is expecting too much. Once when Bitcoin touched 20000$ everyone expected this rise will not stop and they thought they will become rich in no time. So "low"' price disappoints them. But like always the reality is different, you can't become millionare over night. Current pice reflects the value that users are willing to pay at the moment and it will change when market will be ready for that. And low price isn't caused by regulation annoucements, this is completely wrong theory.
This. Not everything is about regulations, whales, and what not. A simple possible reason on why bitcoin is crashing in price is simply because the hype has died down and is continuing to go down. Simple as that, I think people are over-analyzing and over-complicating things. Here's the popularity of bitcoin via Google searches in the past 12 months. And surely and as expected, we peaked on December 2017. Can BTC have the same run up as last year? Definitely. I think we just need another huge hype cycle. How? When? I really don't know.

That's the problem cryptocurrencies in general are having right now. They're not idiot-proof. They're not that easy to use that even your grandmother can easily use it. As with purchasing using bitcoin, only a few online stores accepts bitcoin. Yes, the percentage is small, but hopefully we'll get a decent percentage of stores around the world that accepts bitcoin. Baby steps. As with physical brick & mortar stores, I'm really not sure as this differs from country to country.
Always remember that bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general are still in their very very early stages right now.

People weeks to months ago have said 15k was the bottom, 12k was the bottom, 9k was the bottom, 8k was the bottom, and now: 6.6k is the bottom. Is it too late to sell? No, not if it continues to go lower.
Bottom line: no one knows where the bottom is.
I recall about 3 weeks ago we were in the exact same position, and then it increased back to $12,000 over a week or so. If this happens again, I will be strongly suspecting market manipulation as that would be highly suspicious. I actually feel like we're not at the base of the dip yet, that will probably be around $5,000/6,000 or so. Although price manipulation could be a reason/cause, a small bounce back up in price before crashing back down or a "dead cat bounce" like some people call it (correct me if I'm wrong) isn't necessarily an indicator of price manipulation.

We all know bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are in a bearish trend right now, but $50 is too much of a stretch. It would take huge amounts of FUD and bans or from the government for it to crash that low. Can we expect bitcoin below $50 ?
Yes. Bitcoin can go to $20. Bitcoin is just a speculative asset and looks like going the Silver way. Silver was $80/ounce in 1980. Now it is $17/ounce. Sure bitcoin is a very speculative asset. But you just simply can't compare it to silver. They're both very very different things.
