Do you mean these scammer methods for a general case of online business? or for cases on ICOs or IEOs? Since we are in the "altcoin discussion" board, it must be more specific and there is a correlation with altcoins. I suggest making the "title" more specific, buddy. 

This is the common problem on bounty hunters, airdrop hunters, and giveaway hunters. Scammers know well that many people try to earn money easily, then they make lure offers with KYC requirements. Those people who don't know about the risk of sending their private data (identity), easily trapped in this method. But for people who already know that the data can be sold on the black market, must think twice to do KYC.

Fake SMS message is a classic method. This is a problem that has happened for years. So, experienced people mustn't be trapped in this method. Only amateur or new ones have a chance to be tempted in this way. Especially for careless people that never try to take research/analysis before decide something. 

I understand what you mean, buddy. If you read carefully what I wrote above, I was not in the position to advise him choosing stablecoins. I just try to make him aware that holding stablecoins won't be worth. And guide him to choose other options, coins with volatility like Bitcoin. 

I'm holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. I think these coins are the most recommended to buy and hold this year. Bitcoin will have halving and upgrades, it probably leads to a significant rise in its price. While Ethereum and Ripple usually follow the trend of Bitcoin, once it is growing, then they may increase their values as well. In addition, Ethereum and Ripple are the best altcoins, so it will be safe to hold them.

A. Know the basic things
If you are a beginner, before you decide to invest in BTC, I have some basic questions.
- How long you know Bitcoin investment?
- Have you learned about it very well?
- Have you understood how the crypto market works?
- Have you known the strategy on crypto investment?
You must do all the steps above and answer them properly. That will be helpful to make you realize about Bitcoin investment and don't invest blindly.

B. Start with a correct way
Never invest greedily, you are better to do it gradually. Don't directly invest all the money, just invest some firstly, better to start with small amount. You need to have experience and know about how it works. Once you have been familiar with that, you can consider buying more Bitcoin.

Yes. As far as I understand, Bitcoin is the safest crypto asset. But you must be aware that the value won't be stable, it always fluctuates. If you need a coin with stable value, just pick stablecoins (USDT or USDC). You know that invest in a coin with stable price won't make you get big profits, volatility creates potential high profits.

Seems interesting to follow this news. De-dollarization campaign will make the power of the dollar going to decrease gradually. But not really sure that they will consider crypto as the alternative currency. They may plan for a union of Asian currency, like EURO.

I know that those countries (Malaysia, Iran, Turkey, and Qatar) will consider gold as the main focus because it is proven having stable value since antiquity. They seems realize that only Arabic currency (Dinnar and Dirham) have good values all the time, it is because of with gold or silver underlying. And they want to emulate it.

I guess you don't really target to win but to have fun. Many gamblers stated the same purpose as you and it makes sense for me. Why not have fun through gambling as long as you know to limit the money to use. There are many fun games there, and you can enjoy them while gamble for profits.

It means you rarely play gambling. Some people can play more than five times a week or even every day. But surely it depends on you. If you are a busy man with lots of activities in real life, then yes you have very limited time to gamble.

It is not contradicting. If you read carefully, the first comment focuses on the word "smart move". This cannot be concluded now since the season is not over yet. To know whether it is a smart move or not, we need to know how Milan ends this season. If Milan can rise up its position on the table after Zlatan comes to the club and it lasts till the end of the season, then we can say a "smart move". IMO

Saya juga sependapat kalau ada dua hal utama yang sangat berpengaruh untuk kesuksesan trader pemula, yaitu manajemen emosi (psikologi) dan manajemen resiko (termasuk manajemen keuangan). Entah mana yang paling besar persentase pengaruhnya, hal tersebut tergantung ke pada style trading masing-masing.

1. Manajemen Resiko
Ukur batas toleransi kerugian atau titik limit di mana anda harus berhenti pada situasi tertentu. Hal ini bisa sangat membantu agar terhindar dari over trading atau kerugian yang terus menerus. Perhatikan juga "rasio risk dan reward" (RRR) agar bisa memaksimalkan potensi profit dan meminimalkan kerugian.

2. Manajemen Emosi (Psikologi)
Ingat bahwa kemampuan memanajemen emosi sangat menentukan sukses atau tidak nya dalam trading, sama halnya dengan investasi. Jika kita gampang terpengaruh terhadap FUDs dan tidak sabaran terhadap perubahan harga, maka besar kemungkinan kita mudah kehilangan potensi profit. Umumnya trader pemula cepat putus asa terhadap penurunan harga, dan berakhir dengan menjual aset dititik kerugian yang parah. Akhirnya sebagian besar dari mereka quit di usia dini.

Di sisi lain, ada pula yang terlena atau terlalu greedy. Sehingga kehilangan moment untuk menjual asetnya di rate tertinggi. Padahal, untuk ukuran pemula, take profit 30% - 50% saja sudah cukup baik. Yang penting modal tetap jalan, dan mampu take profit lebih sering, sambil memantau potensi koin lain untuk diversifikasi aset.

*Harap dicatat bahwa rencana kan modal untuk trading dengan matang. Jangan serakah untuk menggunakan semua uang yang ada. Ingat tidak di semua aktivitas trading bisa menghasilkan profit, ada kalanya kita rugi atau memasuki fase stagnan.

Yes, it is an effective way to prevent unnecessary or multi reports for a single spam post only. Then, it also makes clear to all members that which spam posts have been reported and which ones are not reported yet.   

I think only staff dan admin who knows about it. Well, it is interesting to know because we can see how many cases of "multi reports" of one spam post happened so far. If it is categorized as a major problem, it is better to revise or add some changes.

For some coins, I think yes, especially the price of BTC, ETH, and other top coins.
Some big events, annual events, or even the mainstream events may give some influence to the condition of the people that hold the events. We are not sure enough. but, we can analyze it often happens that people sell their coins right to head for a special event. Some may think that they really need to sell the coins because they need cash to hold the event.

Additionally, some issues also influence the market. Moreover, there are so many characteristics of people. Some may be worried about every issue that emerges in the crypto world and then being panic to sell or buy immediately.

It is what mostly happens, so did I, losing more than 70% because of only following the hype and booming crypto issues at that time.

We can confirm from our portfolio, checking on the market and converting the price to the exact number. When we got it decreased by more than 50%, we cannot expect too much again. Selling them at a very low price? I think that is not a good idea. Holding? Maybe yes, for some coins.

You are right patience is one of the key, and it must be supported by the tough feeling. Well, losing so many funds because of the decreased price is very usual to happen in crypto world, moreover for the newcomers (at that time) that only follow the hype without knowing more about the crypto world and without analyzing the market.

This was silly, but nothing will go better if we only make some regret. Just forget the loss and move to better crypto investment with wise analysis and consideration.

It was an easy match for Liverpool. Won 4-0 from Southampton indicates that Liverpool maintains its performance till the end of the Premier League. If they still did the best performance as today, no doubt that Liverpool will end this season without a single defeat and just gets 1 draw. Too good result I think, they are like coming from other planets.

*About Salah and Firmino, both players are true superstars in this season. And don't forget Mané also did a great performance as well.

Congrats, mate. You won it, plus your club won the match as well. I bet you are a Real Madrid fan. FYI, I am also RM fan and really happy to see the result of the match. I'm pretty sure that Real Madrid is getting closer to have the La Liga trophy.

Yeah, it is not impossible. But I think they won't lose at home. How poor if Barcelona is defeated at home by a small club like Levante. 

Saya kira lama transaksinya masih dalam kategori wajar, biasanya hitungan jam dan tidak sampai seharian. Kalau ketika itu harga koin yang agan simpan sedang naik, saya kira masih akan cukup waktu untuk mengirim+menjualnya. Sepengetahuan saya moment naiknya harga itu tidak berakhir dalam hitungan menit, paling tidak hitungan jam. Lagipula, kalau saya jauh lebih penting kemanan koinnnya, daripada mengutamakan jual di rate tertinggi ketika naik harganya. 

You learned it when you were a kid? So, how old are you now? I guess you are still a teenager now. And it is very interesting to know that a teenager can get extra income from the Bitcoin business.

Regarding me, trading and investing in Bitcoin have become the routine side jobs in my life. I can get enough extra income from these jobs. Even, sometimes the income from trading and investing in Bitcoin can be higher than my real-life job.     

For me, this one should be put in the first place (top priority). Because in many cases, the quality of the team is the main factor to determine the sustainability of the project. Many projects looked like trusted enough at the beginning, but the team members suddenly leave and disappear when the projects can reach softcaps/hardcaps. In this case, the information of the team members becomes a very crucial thing. So, before analyzing the whitepaper or other things, do deep research on the information of each profile of the team members. If one/some of the team members are suspected as serial scammers or seems fake person there, simply ignore (avoid) to join the project.

2fa ataupun IP hanya atribut untuk pengamanan agar menjadi lebih ketat (sulit ditembus hacker). Tapi selama itu masih dalam dunia digital, "sulit ditembus" bukan berrarti tidak ada celah untuk dibobol security nya. Apalagi sudah ada kasus kalau 2fa ternyata sudah tidak mempan terhadap hacker sebelumnya. Hacker itu sama seperti kita, mereka juga terus belajar dan melakukan analisa untuk mencari target potensial.

Solusinya tetap untuk menyimpan aset digital kita di wallet pribadi (bukan wallet exchanger), hanya transfer aset kita ke wallet exchanger ketika ingin trading saja. Untuk ke pihak exchanger, kalau sudah ada kasus seperti ini, coba mintak ditindak lanjuti sistem keamanannya.

Kalau ditinjau sebagai alat transaksi (alat pembayaran), memang tepat jika dikatakan crypto masih berstatus "ilegal" untuk saat ini. Landasannya jelas, seperti yang saya sebutkan di atas, yaitu UU Nomor 7 tahun 2011.

Sebenarnya masalah legalitas ini sudah pernah disinggung sebelumnya, contohnya pada thread-thread berikut ini:
1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5109739.0
2. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117240.0

Dari beberapa thread diskusi di atas, cukup banyak rekan-rekan member SFI yang sudah memberikan opini + referensi terkait laglitas crypto di Indonesia. Saya sarankan agan untuk membacanya, mungkin agan bisa mendapatkan informasi yang mungkin agan perlukan di situ. Good luck, gan. 

Dividing into several coins is a wise decision; considering, there are some altcoins that are indeed potential to be invested or traded. And I really appreciate you who want to listen to various input from members in this forum. 0.5BTC for each is a big amount for me. That is awesome.

Are you sure to invest in LTC? Well, everyone has their own consideration, but personally, I will prefer Dash to replace LTC. But once more, if you have considered it, go on.

For the other two altcoins, BNB is good although it is also experiencing a bad market condition currently. However, it is a coin from a top exchange. I believe that this coin will really have better value again in the future.

Why don't you try to look up again on Cosmos? Have you researched about this coin? This can be one of the promising altcoins.

It is too early to conclude a smart move or not about signing a contract with Zlatan. He just played a few matches and seemed not really presenting big influences to the team. Let's see till the end of the season to conclude it. 

Agree. One of the purpose is to make the morale of Milan's team be stronger and have a winner mentality in each match. We can see from the last few matches that Milan can be the winner and the team looked more solid and confident.
