+1 - if anyone here uses Telegram there is an issue at the moment where people post files in groups that are viruses/malware under titles like "Best ICOs of X" or "Trading Signals" etc.... they can also send them to you via PM so always double check a source before downloading!

Every ICO have a mission to make profit for their project, for investor and company. But, not easy to find good and success ICO to make it profitable. There are some ICO is fail and maybe fake/scam. Here are the reason for beginner to don't invest all assets for ICO 1. Every beginners is likely to want the ICO token directly distributed to their wallet before the end of ICO. This is makes the token price is dump and makes the ICO will fail before that ICO complete. Because many people who join that ICO can't wait to sell their token before the price is listed. 2. Many beginners think that ICO price is same after the end of ICO or the exchange price listed Some beginner don't know if the price is only for ICO price and don't know the real price is listing after that token listed on exchange. 3. Some beginners didn't fully check the ICO before they invest Not every good ICO Project is good for invest, there are many ICO is fake/phising and not all real ICO will success after there token listed in Exchange. This is why before invest in ICO, we must check it by looking the ICO feature and mission, The ICO Team, Domain age of their website, Roadmap and their Whitepaper That's my opinion why begginer mustn't invest all for ICO to save their assets. Sorry for my bad English because isn't my main language Contributing money to ICOs gives no rights to the contributor, they only get a token which may or may not go up in value of a company that may or may not succeed in its goal. Best to wait till you see some actual evidence of success before purchasing any token. My two cents on the matter. |

i am new and need something more secure than bitcoin core to store my funds, what is a better option for me trezor or ledger nano ?!... also how to use the wallet to send funds to a BTC address, do i have to manually write it on the screen or what   Both are pretty much the standard when it comes to Hardware wallets and you cannot go wrong with either. Some people I know go for Trezor as it is supporting open source software and you can make your own clone from their code. |

Kinda depends on what your goal/user case is. The blanket statement on one or the other is a bit vague as they offer different services in some cases.
For example, if you are looking for alt to alt trades then a DEX is useful.
If you are looking to cash out to fiat then you need to go with a centralised exchange.

Most people making entries into the crypto space are going so based on the promises of "Magic internet money", a lot of people see it as a way to get rich quick which makes the frustration of a lot of people understandable, especially this year which has seen crypto assets on a continuous decline in value.
I think newbies should focus more on learning all the fundamentals, they should make very good research and learn about solutions that are really achievable through the blockchain bases on the current progress of the technology.
This will not nly help guage expectations on both existing and new projects but will also help to guard against investing in scam or unrealistic projects.
Knowledge is important
+1 - the problem is though that the easiest or at least the most prevalent narrative of Cryptocurrency comes from the success/disaster stories of people who either invested too early or too late. During the height of the Bullrun the FOMO for anyone that was somewhat interested would have been too strong for real research, if they dedicated a day/two to learning then eth or btc would be up another % and the worry set in. Now that we are in a much different place, anyone who is thinking of investing in Blockchain is likely to put much more time into learning the ins and outs and will be able (hopefully) to spot both scammers and decent projects better than people could in 2017! |

is bitcoin going to go down to $0.00USD? is bitcoin going to literally tank and go down to zero? if bitcoin goes down to $0, is that the end of it? or could it come back after that? if bitcoin goes down to $0 will there be other coins that rise up in it's place? how far down are you thinking this bear run will take bitcoin? $1,000? 500? Less? what is your opinions?  Whatever price it does end up at, it will not become completely worthless. There is much more development within the space now more so than at any other point in the last ten years. |

Might be worth mentioning that in order to prepare for the worst case scenario you should teach one person how to access your funds in the eventuality you die. The person you trust with this information will obviously differ, but it would be an awful shame if you did have some funds stored away and your family could not access it once you have passed.
Just something to keep in mind!

Considering the value of goods right now in your respective countries, how much do you think should immortality cost? This, of course, includes the option to die whenever you wish to.
I just thought about this because of another thread that reminded me of a news predicting that there will be a technology that could provide virtual immortality say 2060 or around that time. I am not expecting them to give it for free so how much do you think should it be?
Would it need to be in $/€? I wonder if I could strike a deal where every ten years or so I would need to meet my maker and retell a story/experience I had live within that time that would earn me the opportunity to continue living. Once every 100 years the maker could choose what story he wanted to hear in ten years time. A good way to balance agency between the two parties. |

Too many variables to rightly choose one or the other, but it is easy to imagine that the number of people who have made profits in the last six months is likely to be smaller than within the same time period during 2017. Crypto-currency trading is volatile to say the least, not relaying on success in the market to put food on the table is, in my mind, a smart base to have. Once you have a regular income, try and figure out where to earn a passive income and then trading either crypto or traditional markets will become much less risky for you. Ez pz |

Depending on how far forward you want to look to. I am sure their usage could equal that of fiat but to replace cold, hard cash entirely could prove to be a difficult thing.
In certain countries people living in middle-class and above are more likely to keep their money in the bank and spend with their debit/credit card rather than hold the cash, but those on the lower end will tend to make more purchases through cash, there are some jobs that will be paid via cash in hand, rather than needing to be registered through bank accounts etc...
At the same time, if there only exists digit cash then physical payments are likely to just take on a new form.

Hello Bitcointalkers,
As you guys aware, many of Bitcoin card issuers have disappeared or suspended their services due to regulations
Do you guys think we'll see more reliable Bitcoin debit card that can use BTC like cash?
I want to know if there's any company planning to release a real Bitcoin debit card in 2019.
It would seem that many are finding it harder than expected to operate in different countries than initially thought, and with the fact that each countries regulatory system differs to the next there is no blanket method they can apply to each state and role out their service easily. As far as I know Monaco is progressing nicely (in the grand scheme of things) and will slowly but surely achieve their goal of a Visa debit card with different fiat and crypto payable options. |

The best way is by use of Hardware wallets... if the Ether you have is a lot then it worth buying a hardware wallet Most commonly used are - Ledger nano - Trezor Make sure you purchase the wallets from the official Websites and not a third party seller as you may end up buying a fake wallet The other cheaper means is by creating paper wallets Look into this article to clearly understand how you can make one How To Make an Ethereum Paper Wallet in 5 Easy StepsIf you want to go with the most tried and tested method of storing your crypto this is possibly the best option to seek out. Paper wallets are a great and cheap option to hold coins long-term without using them but if you plan on actively using your crypto while they are stored on a Hardware device it is best to purchase either a Ledger or Trezor. |

It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next while, I think everyone is hoping for it based off the impact the Bitcoin Futures had on the market this time last year.
I have seen it mentioned before that the Thin Order Books associated with Crypto is something that is taken into account when making this decision, I cannot imagine the current market has improved this situation if it is indeed something considered.

Not to give you a big long list that may be overwhelming, ideally the first thing to do is write down a few objectives/things you want to get done over a period of time, be it a day or a week. As you tick each of these off it will motivate you to complete the others and also help rid that sense of laziness. Even if some items are take a shower; get up before xAM etc.... Good luck  . |

Personally, I believe this is the definitive Reading List on Crypto, it covers almost ever fundamental topic of Blockchain Technology:
- Detailed understanding of the Basics/History/Key Concepts
- Privacy & Security
- Governance
- Scaling
- Etc....
It is put together by Andreessen Horowitz, who are arguably one of the best VC firms out there.

Your best bet is trying to pick up a Ledger or Trezor during sale time, I guess Black Friday/Cyber Monday was the last chance but I would not be surprised if there were some deals come the Christmas/New Year, be sure to look out for them.
I have a friend who created his own hardware wallet via Linux, I wouldn't be well versed enough to explain the in's and out's but it was done more so as a pet project rather than to actually use, as mentioned in this thread, there are many more precautions that need to be taken.
