The safety of hardware wallets like Trezor, KeepKey, and Ledger Nano S is that the private keys are never exposed and never actually leaves the device. A sort of malware or a virus can get in to your phone and possibly access your private keys, whereas it can't(or it will be very difficult for them) with a hardware wallet. Take note though, NOTHING is 100% secure. But a hardware wallet is definitely significantly more secure. If you're planning on purchasing one, I suggest looking them up on YouTube so you also have an idea on how they look. https://trezor.iohttps://www.ledgerwallet.comhttps://www.keepkey.com |

Investing half of your captial on NEO is definitely risky in my opinion. If I were to invest half of my capital, it would only be on bitcoin.
At the end of the day though, it's YOUR money. Do your own research; if you think NEO is a good investment, then go ahead.

It depends. How urgent do you need the money? Personally if I were to sell a few for pocket money or something that's not that important, I'd definitely wait for another ATH, or at least to go back to the $7000 mark first; but yea, it depends. If I needed the money for like school tuition or something like that that's important, then I would just sell a few bitcoin now, just enough bitcoin to pay whatever expenses I need to pay.

Did a very short read about it. Interesting concept, whereas transfer of messages, files, etc go through "securely" on a private blockchain. Very interesting concept indeed, but we currently have no idea how "secure" that private blockchain is. Also, take in to consideration the usability of the phone itself. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it runs it's own operating system, and not Android. So even though everything or most stuff on your phone might be secure, expect a good number of apps to be uninstallable on this device. P.S. That price though. €999.00 / $1,165.00For more info about the phone itself: https://swissbankinyourpocket.com/product/bitvault/ |

I used to trade on Poloniex and bittrex.
Poloniex support is fast and great.
When I got IP disabled cause of my API bot, just contact and they'd enable me to login again.
When did you actually have that problem? Probably not quite recently? Since months ago their support definitely became sh**. People have claimed that their funds has been locked for months without any reply from Poloniex support whatsoever. I suggest moving your funds elsewhere just to be extra sure. I'd personally stick to bittrex and binance. |

If you're talking about a bitcoin or ethereum wallet, then definitely use hardware wallets. Specifically, Trezor, Ledger Nano S, or Keepkey; with your recovery seed written non-digitally, like on a piece of paper. That definitely should be safe enough.

Mind telling us what that certain project will be about? Also, how "big" will that project be? Take note: XRP has a current circulating supply of 38,531,538,922 XRP (source: Coinmarketcap). Would that project be big enough to actually have a significant effect on the price? I doubt a project on a single country would be enough to "skyrocket" XRP. |

You mean investing in initial coin offerings(ICOs) right? A great number of people here and in various forums and on Reddit are always in watch of the next good ICO. This can actually be profitable, just if you pick the right projects to invest on. Just do your own research: lookup on the team/developers, read the whitepaper, all those good stuff; and don't get caught in a pump-and-dump scheme.

Step 1: Buy bitcoin
Step 2: Secure your wallet
Step 3: Hold
That's pretty much it. If everything goes right, with only minimal FUD, theoretically bitcoin should rise in price in the future because of the 21million BTC hard cap and assuming the demand will continue to rise. F*** all those investment sites and cloud mining sites. It's either you do legit mining, or simply invest and hold.

Why do you need to give bitcoin to a certain person in the first place? I personally didn't currently need a reason to trade with a stranger. If you're transacting for a certain physical item, then use a sort of middleman or "escrow" like purse.io, or you can also contact trusted people who escrow here in bitcointalk as well.

Not sure what you mean, but do you mean how to convert your Ethereum tokens to bitcoin?
1. Deposit your ethereum tokens on an exchange like Bittrex/Binance.
2. Pick the trading pair. For instance, trading OmiseGo(OMG) tokens: BTC/OMG
3. Set up a trade offer, or choose an offer.
That's pretty much it

Techniques? I don't see why you need to have techniques in investing in bitcoin. You just need to keep your private keys secure, preferably a non-digital copy of your recovery seed, and simply just hold. Even when talking about the best price to buy. If you're planning on investing long term, it won't matter unless you purchase as soon as possible.

Meh. Cool fact. Yea it shows the popularity bitcoin is currently getting, but it doesn't mean that bitcoin is more popular than gold. I'm pretty sure almost everyone knows gold as a metal; but it doesn't mean they actually Google it. But I guess it's good as it also shows people's interest in it.

Very unprofessional advice:
My guess would be that bitcoin's price will dip a bit. Probably just as low as 5%-10% as I think that a lot of people will go full FOMO because of altcoins currently skyrocketing in price. Also, knowing that most people realize that they aren't getting any free forked bitcoin as s2x has been canceled.

I honestly think that the price will reach $10,000 at around the end of December 2017 or probably early January 2018, or maybe even earlier than December if we're lucky. This is assuming that everything goes well for bitcoin and assuming that there wont be any unnecessary FUD. But then again, this is just my guess, because who knows?. Definitely not professional advice.

You're quite late bud. Bitcoin gold already forked. Whatever amount of bitcoin you had on the 25th of October, you would have the same amount of bitcoin gold. Whatever trading you do right now with your bitcoin(BTC), it wouldn't matter.

Looks like you're pretty new here. Why are you rushing to gain people's trust?  Anyway, I think people gain trust here simply by doing various kinds of transactions with other people or maybe by doing escrow. |

It completely depends if you're planning on holding for long term or short term. If you're planning on holding long term, why does the current price matter? If you're expecting it to go up in the future then you'll be fine with any price around $5,000-$10,000. Short term is another different story though, probably wait for a correction.

Besides reading the actual white paper, I don't think you can really know unless you try. Why do you need to know though? You won't lose anything on an airdrop as you won't be needing to deposit something. It's an airdrop for a reason and not an ICO.
