Most of the scams (as far as I am concerned) are coming from the ICOs and exchanges. So the most important part is doing your research and, of course, due diligence! It includes reading about in the forums and seeing what people say. That's the most important step and people are quite honest in the forums and they will say everything they have experienced with the particular ICO or exchange! I believe you will be smart enough to figure out how that works. 

If you have some BTC it means you already are a lucky crypto enthusiast! Congrats! Keep it and hodl, because we are getting prepared for a storm after the calmness. However, if you have some weak character and no pertinence, then go ahead and quit this attractive story that is just getting started!

It was around $11k and was not going up (after decreasing from $18k), so people started panicking and selling, which might have caused the drop. I also think, that the manipulation by the whales might have also impacted the price.  

And the panic goes on, so don't be surprised if gets even lower.

Sometimes, love costs emotions and nerves. Sometimes it may cost money. Don't you agree, that there are girls, who want their boyfriends to buy them presents to prove that they are dedicated? I personally would not require that from my BF, but still, love costs certain things, believe me! 

Scams are those that post just for posting, for developing their accounts faster and not following the rules. But they are easy to detect. The posts that contain valuable information, are the ones that are not scams, but thoughts of serious forum members. Otherwise, I agree that there is a lot of scam in many forums and we all have to be careful with that!

Some leaders are selfish for themselves, for their own bell-being, and not for the nation. So it does not count. We need to categorize those kinds of things!

I actually get a bit excited, because it means I can buy more with a lower price 

I'd go with my own example:

fiat/cryptocurrency exchange!

That seems to be a universally accepted and understood idea! Good luck! 

It's like you send it and the receiver receives it!  Oh, yes, you don't have to go to a bank, or to a company (building or software) to do that! I don't think you need more details about that! 

Of course bitcoin is the best, but here are some options you might want to look at:

XRP, XMR, LTC, ETH, IOTA!

Don't think too much, just buy and hodl! 

I don't care! That is not affect my bitcoin trading income at all (yet) 

All my favorite jokes are around the failure of bitcoin these days. People seriously arguing that make me laugh a lot! 

The golden rule of crypto trading is to not get stuck with a single coin. Always try different options, exchange, trade and hodl! 

I should mention one important thing: altcoins are great for long-term perspectives, because they becoming stronger gradually. Thus, it takes some time to earn a decent amount in exchange for your investment. Otherwise, consider these altcoins for such purposes:

-zcash,
-ethereum,
-litecoin,
-Nxt,
-LTC.

Good luck !!! 

It's never late. You should have limited your post to those three simple words that make a lot of sense these days

Exactly. Fiat money will soon become crypto, that's the destiny of the dying currencies. And that's because governments made them a big source of bubble and speculations. 

Just take a look at the daily lifestyle of rich people, what they do, where they go, how they live, what they eat and drive, etc.  If you want such a life, then go and work hard to reach that. 

Why don't you just make it digital? Would it not be easier to store and protect? 

Bitcoin - a bubble? Are you trying to convince me, that all of my successful business efforts interconnected with this currency was a bubble? Something fake? I have made a lot with bitcoin and that won't stop me developing my business ideas based the brilliant blockchain idea!

Bitcoin is marked bubble by those who missed their chances of getting rich. I will tell you this: it is never, ever late to make great things happen with bitcoin! Remember my words!
