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

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 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. |

It usually takes time for your avatar to be updated. Had this same problem recently too. Just wait at least an hour or so, it will be updated.

Don't forget that exchanges are surely spending big money on website development, taxes, employees, miscellaneous fees, web security, all those stuff. Especially the security aspect. An exchange can easily easily go bankrupt or at least lose a huge sum of money with a single successful hack. Take a look at what happened to Mt.Gox and Bitfinex in the past. Security is not something they should just "meh, lets just spend a few thousand bucks on this". But it's true though, they do make a lot of money. But they also definitely spend a lot of money. It's definitely unnerving being a constant target for hackers.

Currently at 45.12%, via Livecoinwatch[1].  Is it good or bad? I think it depends on your views if you think bitcoin deserves the #1 spot or not. But of course, it is definitely good for bitcoin.

These kinds of scams has existed like forever; and I really don't know how people still carelessly fall for it. Like what the hell. Always double check the URL, ladies and gentlemen. Scammy URLs are almost always something like "blinance.coml" or "colnbasa.comi" or something. it doesn't take a computer or internet security expert to detect these stuff.

Bitcointalk was initially NEVER about members making money(I think). The purpose of The Bitcointalk Forum(just as with every other traditional forum), is to allow people of all age, gender, ethnicity, etc around the world to discuss, debate, and to ask questions for other people to answer. Basically to create a community.
