It has been a herculean task for me to encourage people around me to use Cryptos due to their past experiences in the hands of scammers using MMM as an example, people were initial paid with bitcoin before it was stopped and personally I have enlightens many people why they need to invest in Cryptos.

The court ruling is a welcome development for bitcoin, some unscrupulous individuals in russia had capitalized on the decentralized feature of bitcoin to perpetuate criminal activities, but the court had vindicated those sites on free flow of information related to bitcoin and freedom to disseminate news about bitcoin.

Good work done here please kindly check out some of my post:

It is always risky to submit scanned IDs of individuals to scamming ICOs in the name of verification I.e KYC a lot of scammers now devises every possible means to trade with people's identities, you don't just give out your identity in the sake of investing in fake ICOs whose ulterior motive is to steal people's documents using darkweb

Bitcoin has been well adopted in the developed countries but it's acceptability in the developing countries is still lagging partly due to high level of illiteracy and poor internet services, promoting bitcoin here requires public enlightenments personally I took it upon myself to give public talk about bitcoin, how to use it, benefits obtained from using bitcoin

Technical analysis is based on information obtained from previous price data which is programmed to predict the future of the price, be as it may in most cases these TA do fails because they usually lag with the price and price must have moved significantly before an indicator gives a signal considering the fact that Cryptos are very volatile, a trader would have placed a trade when the price is about to reverse based on TA. Personally  I preferred price action with Japanese candlestick patterns formed at a support or resistance zone which are usually influenced by FUDs.

Europol: Hardcore Criminals Are Shifting From Bitcoin to Monero, Zcash and Dash
A multitude of representatives of law enforcement agencies from around the world have talked about the use of bitcoin by criminal elements, sometimes revealing ignorance about cryptocurrencies in the process. Now it appears that Europol at least is trying to go deeper, learning about various altcoins and how they can be used too.

Criminals Go Alt
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol), formerly known as the European Police Office and Drugs Unit, is concerned that sophisticated criminals are switching to alternative cryptocurrencies while investigators are just focusing on bitcoin. Monero, zcash and dash are specifically mentioned as now appearing on the radar of the EU law agency.

Jarek Jacubchek, a Europol cyber-crime analyst, told Business Insider: “We can see a quite obvious and distinct shift from bitcoin to cryptocurrencies that can provide a higher level of privacy. So basically, you can achieve a higher level of privacy using these ‘altcoins’, and these altcoins are either using stealth as the basis, like monero. There are also coins like dash that do not have stealth addresses, they have transparent addresses, but they have a mixing process that is part of the protocol.”

Bitcoin Still Rules
This shift from bitcoin to altcoins is supposedly fueled by two ongoing trends. First, bitcoin exchanges are coming under regulatory pressure to adopt the same anti-money laundering and know your customer (AML/KYC) practices of traditional financial institutions, such as requiring photo IDs to open accounts, which are scaring away criminals. Second, most police forces are already aware of the potential use of bitcoin and are improving their ability to track down BTC transactions by suspects. Additionally, by shifting between multiple cryptocurrencies, people can better hide their tracks from investigators.

Despite all of this, bitcoin as the original cryptocurrency is still the most popular with criminals, just as it is with law-abiding citizens. The co-founder of cryptocurrency analysis firm Elliptic, Tom Robinson, explains that “the vast majority of illicit activity in cryptocurrencies is still taking place in bitcoin, because of its ease of exchange and more advanced infrastructure”.

From my own point of view it is a good idea to start teaching the elementary aspects of cryptocurrencies to these kids this will serves as a preparatory course for those (students) that might want to further the course in their respective colleges.

Unfortunately bitcoin couldn't break the resistance at $11200 which resulted to a pullback hence  btc price often defies  technical analysis, it's very obvious that the price of bitcoin tends to align with fundamental analysis I.e FUDs are the driving forces that tend to push the price breaking any resistance  or support.

I quite with the OP and this is a well detailed and perfect article for a newbie in trading, of course emotion and fear is major factor towards achieving a successful trading more so technical analysis must also be considered mostly the use of indicators, Japanese candlesticks patterns and price actions are important tools that must also been taken into consideration.

I hope this is not  another  negative FUDs  coming up against bitcoin as it is now the FUDs from the Asian countries had really  caused massive dumps invariably causing more fears to the hodlers

30 minutes timeframe is much better because it is non choppy and a little bit stable than the other two timeframe be asvit may if your strategy is used for crypto trading then it has to be properly perfected due to the nature of cryptos I.e high volatility.

Hacking of account is one of my greatest fear in keeping my coins in an online wallet I read an article  about the possibility of Trezor hardware wallet  being hacked.

So many bad news of hackers on the prowl these days stealing and hacking corporate organizations account this is absolutely worrisome to me personally.

The IMF boss is mounting a  smear campaign against bitcoin using electricity consumption as a reference is uncalled-for there have been other alternative to the regular Electricity which is solar energy and bitcoin miners had been utilizing it for their operations, I belief this is another threat and campaign against bitcoin and at the of the day bitcoin will remain unscathed.

Working for bounties campaigns is not an easy task and sometimes can be stressful because it requires total commitments and working round the clock it is also necessary for all the participants to fully support and advertise the project  to ensure that the ICOs is totally sold out  tand a lot of tokens can be earned if the project was successful.
