Trading is something i have seen the equivalent methods as advantages and disadvantages in the same time, engaging into trading is good but is not to the extent of quiting in a job, except it's a situation whereby in the morning and night you are on system alone for Trading, so the advantages aspect of trading come this way, you might achieve a huge profit via trading through out one month interval without experience lost, while the disadvantages, can come and take off all the generated profit made for one month trading, so in nutshell, I'm trying putting these to everyone that trading is not what we can hope on, is better you have option A  first for any othe thing and let trading represent your options B, because their is no assurance in trading to make a profit consistently.

It's quite understood that we have different dimensions of trading, the only thing i found out, is that your method of trading to achieve success or profit can't be favourable to me if i follow the step of your trading patterns, i think during trading we develop the mentalities of making profit or avoiding lost through our previous mistakes, so i believe that is a personal skill developed and corrected through our initial engagements and errors that occurs during the process, so it's the reason no one is perfect in trading academy, everyone experienced lost and profit also, let us not pick a specific method as a source to make gain through trading.

If really you wants to purchase bitcoin go directly to exchange where bitcoin buying and selling is done smoothly without delay since the necessary things have been done via the platform like it's verifications you will purchase..so in summary the place you can purchase bitcoin legit is through binance exchange and you can also buy through blockchain exchange or remitano, shall it depends on the country you are into, but i know vividly that binance is worldwide exchange platform, so it's better to use known platform because that electrum you are emphasising on, is where your coin can be stored for long thing time and for security purposes.

We are emphasising on cryptocurrencies here, so i think we have to state it very clear to newly cryptocurrency investors, despite that the caution of this thread is pointing hand at bitcoin, so in cryptocurrency generally no exemption via investment, the only method or strategies someone can be profitable in any coin is to buy and hold for short period or long period of time, depending on the capability of the user to hold the particular coin, so via altcoins before you will buy and hold watch well the project first..that is the only difference between bitcoin and ATH in items of long term investment. But in bitcoin anytime you buy it after long period they will be a difference in value.

it's everyone assumptions, besides many people said that bitcoin this year will be more reproductive than any other year's, I'm not curious about bitcoin propagation even though it will take it time to propagate, i always be comfortable about it regulations in price, now we might expect bitcoin to get higher by next year come 2022, but from me it's not sure and constant that the price of bitcoin will respond positively, because it can be possible that the price will not get ride to our expectation, I'm not disputing the fact that bitcoin will not reach at least one hundred thousand (100k) by next year, but it's under assumption like we did this year.

this is not good time to sell bitcoin because bitcoin is depreciating in value currently, i think today's price is at sixty thousand (60k) at dot, and it's not encouraging to start selling bitcoin because it doesn't hit up to one hundred thousand (100k) within the expectation ranges of predictors, shall December is still remaining some weeks ahead and nobody knows if all this time people is emphasising on 100k it will definitely hit up.

no matter the movement of bitcoin that will push me to sell, except it's a situation whereby is getting accelerated in value, referring to four years ago bitcoin values was okay but that shouldn't make people to began to sell out their coins, actually we still have time while some person's is thinking otherwise.

if i should predict bitcoin movement for the remaining month of the year, from my perspective bitcoin is not having bear market again, everyone should expect it next year 2022, and the price will not hit up to one hundred thousand everyone is pointing at holding can help for next bear market.

(1). Bitcoin is popularly known as a digital currency across the nation
(2). Bitcoin is the easiest means of exchanges of anything via transaction
(3). Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that can't be control by any one irrespective of it's market volatility structure
(4). Bitcoin is a money like fiat currency and anything bitcoin does in terms of buying or purchasing values, is applicable to bitcoin
(5). Bitcoin is generally acceptable to people that knows it's function both primarily and secondary functional activities
(6). Bitcoin is an investment key point, and also an asset as people that commented above stipulated, so in all ramifications bitcoin is generally accepted for anything fiat currency can do.

I'm responding base on the caution or topic sentence of this thread..." How Bitcoin can help local communities" from my own point of view, i understand that bitcoin does not help a community or can not help a community except a situation a community have particular funds of investment and also have a place were they assemble their funds for investment and possibly agreed to invest in cryptocurrency especially bitcoin.. bitcoin can only help individual base it's method of investing in bitcoin, because since i started observing people investment i never seen joint cryptocurrency investment.

We have to know by this time that cryptocurrency especially bitcoin have a particular group of people that always castigates and antagonist it's development Everytime, and we have grown enough not to listen into all their false information people are rendering to people, JP Morgan's never one day believe  or support bitcoin in any form likewise Elon Musk, so i classify this set of individuals as bitcoin opposer or antagonist and we don't have to regard their public announcement concerning bitcoin as a something new, because it's not the first time and it can never be the last they will are procrastinating or spreading negativity about bitcoin.

cryptocurrency especially bitcoin from my own perspective and is obvious that everyone dwelling in this community knows very well that bitcoin is a perfect investment at this era of digital, so I'm disputing the fact that you labelled bitcoin as most risky option investment.

those companies that you are emphasising on as a reliable platform for investment can never be nice to everyone or everybody via investment. So let us try to not think otherwise via bitcoin, from my own view BTC is my best investment that favour me more than all this manual and industrial investment.

Bitcoin is not something we can predict it's price and stick on it, therefore I'm assuming that bitcoin price can be grow or decrease more than humans prediction, actually the life circle of bitcoin is moving directly depending on the year and also the level of people who in enroll in it, maybe before the specific time we assume or expect according to op yearly assumptions of time frame, bitcoin might be greater than (1 Million US Dollars) or come in contrary to it. So it depends and it doesn't rely on anyone's hands.

at first i welcomed you to bitcointalk community and same vein and i say  congratulations to you for locating the community.

  i think theirs no minimum or maximum amount you can't use for cryptocurrency investment specifically, the only i understand to cryptocurrency especially bitcoin investment is that, your profit will come along with the amount you invested, because the larger the deposit input, the larger the profit or gain generated, and smaller the amount the smaller the profit also...so investment is base on the level of your financial capabilities.

Regardless that government controls both primary level, secondary level and tertiary Level in educational systems of education, it's not quite clear that government will give cryptocurrency especially bitcoin to be part of school curriculum, because from my views it's obvious that it's a few government of a country that can accept cryptocurrency especially bitcoin to be one of their educational calendar or course in all ramifications of educational standard. I think it will be very difficult to implement such Generally.

basically all the encouragement rendering from any member here is useful because those their advices is from their objectives, what they witness, and what they pass through, so no ideas or opinion is waste, basically the bone of contention is narrowing at the protocols of the community which is ( The Rules and Regulations) as you said, because i can't dispute the fact that the rules is not included, but the strategic way will be given through experienced bitcointalk community user.

analysing this theoretically i want to understand the aspect of influencer's paid promotores, this area of terms is complicated, because  emphasising on promotores they are the one that is in charge of sector from my own perspective, because they belong there..so who are influencer's? This both party is doing a related function in order to bring their images in reality, actually they are working for payment which i know is their objectives.

We have so many thread of quality Post which are here, and we know that is not all boards you can view or visit always and also the same day base on personal engagement, so believe it's not possible for a Merit source not to come in contact with all posts because of time and specific board they like to engage in conversation Everytime they come online base on individual difference.

that perception is encouraging, because it will attracts people who don't distributes their Smerit out to lower Chambers to know that Smerit is not meant to be bank, but in another form Smerit is meant for quality Post in other to encourage, appreciate their efforts via research and time.

it's the primary objectives of everyone is to make sure all the newbies who is inquisitive or interested into cryptocurrency have secured a greater heights, but it's encouraging to support other positions not really a newbie only, because people also need to enroll into another rank position also.

 so emphasising in aspect of personal message via detecting a quality post, i think is not every community user can have the time to pm you, except is the people that need to rank up.
But from my view i like you to create a thread of submission of quantity post to Merit, likewise @Ratimov https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275032.msg55173475#msg55173475

Exactly, alternative coins normally follow the finger prints of bitcoin, actually the movement of bitcoin attracts all their price value circles of other coins, and I'm saying that without bitcoin increment I don't think that ATH will gain it's volatility.

It seems that it will be difficult to detect the scammer because since the transaction has been made in exchange it will be complicating, because denoting the transaction the only thing that can be found out is the exchange wallet address, some start with bc1 and start 3N, 3c with different alpha numeric codes according to the exchange wallet identification numbers ..so it's the exchange that can be noticeable From my own perspective. And the exchange can fish-out the transaction, which i know is not going to be possible to track easily.

Do you know while people easily get scammed to unknown people, the truth of it, is that some elements or caliber's of people are desperate of making profit or gain for a minor investment, so immediately they received notification from or this scam companies or platforms they will be as fast as a rocket to invest without proper investigation. So to isolate your self from trap of scammers immediately you received a notification that you are not expecting then you can as well ignore, because immediately you respond to a chat definitely they have win your soul, i dont compromise to any unknown message from social media, except it's a situation i have unfinished transaction with somebody then can unveil and message that come's to my inbox.

Think what he meant via Bank is that, the way we keep our bank details intact should be applicable to the way we keep our cryptocurrencies informations in secret, especially bitcoin, so is letting us or informing each one indirectly to safeguard all the necessary informations that covers he or her bitcoin wallet address intact. From my perspective and comprehension towards the comment, i think is absolutely right, because exposing our details of information in any form is at our own advantages and disadvantages.

The measure of securing our private Key's is important in cryptocurrency world, because the key is the only access you have to penetrate into your wallet address, likewise bank, especially a credit card or debit card in bank, the security code of this cards above is the major target to whomever that wants to steal from you through a bank, and it most not be review to anyone, the open its the riskier your funds to be move by unknown.
