Just to add to what TryNinja and SirChadimus said:
I've noticed from social media that a significant amount of people save their recovery seeds digitally, which is a very bad idea. And some even save their recovery seeds on something like a .txt file or a Word document, which is a makes it a lot lot worse a hundred fold. Always save your seed offline, on something like a paper.

I knew it! I've been hearing a few rumors about Chinese exchanges coming back in the future. This is definitely good news, whether or not the legalization will be this year or not. I'm expecting a price as soon as exchanges open back again. Looks like the bull is here to stay for a while.

The image restriction is mainly to stop new accounts that spam stuff like referral/scam links and what not.
How would restricting images stop that? The restriction of prohibiting newbies posting images was due to someone botting the forum with pornographic images. To answer ops question, no, there is currently no way to speed up the process other than getting 30 activity or buying an account. It's hardly a lifetime though is it? I have previously suggested that automatic whitelisting ie removing all newbie restrictions should be included in some new donator ranks so people could pay a small fee to bypass them which I think would be helpful in your situation and stop people just buying accounts to dodge them. To be more specific, it definitely doesn't stop it, but it minimizes the effect by a significant amount. Having images in a referral attempt is definitely more convincing than having a link alone. But yea, definitely can also be used with pornographic images. Not sure why they would do that though. |

The image restriction is mainly to stop new accounts that spam stuff like referral/scam links and what not. I honestly couldn't blame them as people could just spam make new accounts after getting banned, so I really don't see this as "illogical"; you'll understand if you actually tried managing a forum, it's a huge pain in the butt. Though I'm not saying that's also your intention. You can ask someone else to post the thread for you if you're not willing to wait for the remaining 2 weeks.

Some governments of certain countries doesn't like bitcoin probably simply because it's a currency whereas they have no control upon. Also, knowing that bitcoin wallets/addresses are anonymous to an extent, they probably couldn't receive taxes from people doing eCommerce with bitcoin payments.

It's not always the case that when bitcoin goes up, altcoins go down. In the last cryptocurrency price rally, bitcoin and altcoins went up and down together. I personally think that the reason that altcoins are dropping right now whereas bitcoin is skyrocketing is that people are most likely trading their altcoins for some bitcoins, for them to get to have Bitcoin-Segwit2x coins.

If you're actually new to cryptocurrencies and or programming and development in general, then going straight to developing your own cryptocurrency is a really really bad idea. Start slow, with the easy stuff first. Also, before developing your own currency, definitely study other cryptocurrencies first if you haven't yet.

I personally wouldn't use any app that is unofficial, maybe unless their code is open-source, as so we can know if they're doing something fishy. As of now localbitcoins doesn't have a mobile app of their own, but remember that you can still transact by just simply using your mobile phone's browser and going to https://localbitcoins.com |

Cryptocurrency exchanges have been banned in China for more than a month already. Though there are rumors about the Chinese government
legalizing cryptocurrency exchanges sometime in the future. But then again, these are only rumors.

My very unprofessional trading opinion:
Altcoins are just dumping mostly due to people converting their alts (probably temporarily) for some bitcoin so that they could claim their Segwit2x coins at the time of the fork. Altcoins would most probably rise back again after the fork. And no, bitcoin cannot kill out altcoins due to the price alone.

Where did you purchase your Ledger Nano S? Did you get them from the ledgerwallet.com website or somewhere else like Amazon? Also, here are the instructions: https://www.ledgerwallet.com/start/ledger-nano-sI couldn't determine what specific part you're having problems with. Can you give more details? |

Very common behavior for people who just got in to crypto. I was almost exactly like that when I first started out, also refreshing Blockfolio every like 5 minutes or so. As of now I'm definitely doing much better than I used to since instead of staring at the prices for hours end, I can now actually do something productive. It's going to take time to get used to though.  |

Poloniex has been doing some shady stuff in the past. Locking up accounts and not replying to complaints from their users. I would definitely stay away from it. If you'd like an exchange that supports a good number of coins, definitely go with Bittrex or Binance. If I remember correctly the trading fee is only like 0.1% on Binance(with 0.25% on Bittrex), which is a bit lower compared to others. https://www.binance.com/https://bittrex.com/ |

I can't actually suggest you any GPUs since I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough on this field. Instead, I would like to suggest a calculator for you to easily compute the profitability of most cryptocurrencies available for mining. Just wait a bit for people to suggest you some GPUs.

Yes. BitcoinGold(BTG) is actually a thing. It only forked last October 25. For more information: https://bitcoingold.org |

It's simply because a huge majority of the coins being airdropped aren't as good technology-wise compared to bitcoin years ago. Also, doesn't mean that bitcoin multiplied alot of times, it doesn't mean the same will happen to those coins that airdropped.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you would be fine in posting on the "Bitcoin Discussion" subforum if your channel would be for bitcoin news in general. I'd personally contact an admin or a mod just to sure though.

I wish. The only bitcoin debit card I currently used, Xapo became unusable since October 15th due to me not being in a European Country. Still currently looking for a decent alternative that works here in Asia.

Definitely GPUs. It allows you to be more flexible by being able to switch between mining different coins. Also, if ever you quit mining, you can sell your used GPUs because chances are they're still usable. You cant use ASICs to do gaming and other stuff whereas you can if you buy GPUs instead.
