Trump was elected by the so called "Christians right". Yet he has been shown  to be completely bereft of any morality at all.  
He was supported by business because he is a "business leader". Yet he is now known to be a trust fund baby who lost his family fortune and has never been profitable. As his own staff say. He is a fucking moron.  

I would suggest taking all the money you think you are "investing" in altcoins and burning it in a big pile. You will still lose all your money, but it will also keep you warm for a few minutes.

For me bitcoin is money. I use it whenever I need to spend money. So your question could be phrased as "What can you do with money?" As far as ICOs and alt-coins... Those are scams. So an ICO is used to get your money. That is what it is for and once you have them they generally have no value.

I like how the world is no longer laughing behind Trump's back. They laugh right at his face now.

He is the stupidest guy I can think of.

Laughable attempt to scam. Let's apply some logical thinking. If someone had a way to make a guaranteed 25% return... Why the F#@! would they need your money?
Ask them to draw up a contract that legally obligates them to pay at least a 25% return. Ask them to send over a copy of their business license for your lawyer's records. Of course you will never hear from them again.  ANY GUARANTEE OF PROFITS IS A SCAM! There is no such thing in business.

The best idea is to open your mind, drop your bias and superstition, learn logic.  People who think for themselves are not very susceptible to propaganda and fake Russian stories. It really is the stupidest people that are trolled in by the ridiculous exaggerations and preposterous claims of trolls.

Saying "blockchain is huge!" Is a way for those who laughed at bitcoin to save face. They were 100% incorrect about bitcoin and can't go back on it without looking like a fool. So they call it blockchain. Which is what bitcoin is.

It is like saying the internet is stupid and wont work back in 1993. Then by 1996 saying that the IP protocol is a good idea though.

All bitcoin transactions are monitored by the IRS in the U.S.  Those who have deluded themselves into believing that tax does not apply to bitcoin are in for a sore lesson. It may take a few years to sort it all out, but you will still owe the money, plus interest, plus penalties that could include jail. Just pay your taxes like a grown-up and live in the light of day.  

Well it HAS to be an open-source operating system. So let's just throw away any windows version or Mac version. You should only be using open-source software if you can. It is far more trustworthy, IMO. If you are new to Linux then Ubuntu is a good choice. There was a time when Linux was hard to use, but Ubuntu will be easy to install and use for anyone who has ever used a computer. There are a few things to learn, but not a lot. And Linux stuff is normally well documented. Ubuntu makes an old computer sing like new.  Burn an iso disk and give it a try, it's free.

If you know how to use bitcoin, then there is absolutely no question that bitcoin is safer.  In fact, bitcoin is the safest method of transferring wealth available. Besides cryptographic protection, etc. It is a system that does not require sharing anything with a third party, which is inherently more secure. I have replaced my debit card three times in a year due to data breaches. But never in over eight years have I lost a single Satoshi.

Please think carefully. A loan denominated in BTC is a very dumb idea. You will need to consider what happens if the price of BTC doubles, or falls 50%.  Is this to be paid back in dollars or BTC? Because if the price doubles, the person who has to pay it back might not be able.  There is a lot to go wrong, best of luck.

It may also be worth giving credit to the creators of code to run distributed networks and solid cryptography.  I don't think of the code Satoshi wrote as the smart part, it is the stitching together of ideas to create a secure ledger. Secure enough to be used as money. If we had that then money really would be yours.  Mathematically, provably yours.

I would have zero trust in a FB account. I have been a hacker computer enthusiast since personal computers existed. In that time I have learned that most anything can be faked. I, for example, have not had a phone in my real name in over 20 years. So I don't like rules that can be broken. The only way to trust an ICO is if they are a legal, registered business with a business license. 
If you are working with anything less, then you are just kidding yourself. Want to be a grown-up investor?  It starts with ONLY doing business with other grown-ups.

The core problem you have is a belief in "luck." There is no such thing as luck. There are bad decisions, there are things out of your control, etc. But carrying a rabbits foot or praying to get rich is a fools path. You should be doing math if you want to be successful in business.

I like it. It is some kind of starting point for a new user willing to read a little.   

It's definitely not forbidden. I have used BTC  in the Islamic world and traded with Muslims many times.  The rules are the same as any other money. It is forbidden to do usury or other things seen as hurting people, but the money itself is innocent. It is the LOVE of money that is "the root of all evil."

I look on Craigslist all the time now. There are usually about 250 items for sale at any one time. But I have not bought anything yet. When I do I bet the seller will be shocked to get an offer in BTC.

So they are not going to allow scam coin ads? Good.

I assume you have bitcoin?

Here are many:  https://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=fishing+rod

By the way... If you are using a wallet that shares access to your key or doesn't even give you a key, then you do not own any bitcoin. ONLY use wallets that give you exclusive control of your key.
