Note that if you trade on a demo account, then losses will not touch you as much as they touch on a real account. You do not feel emotion for the money that you are not afraid to lose.
All problems are precisely because of this. When people trade, often, for them this money is very valuable, they depend on them.

When they lose them, lose in unsuccessful transactions, they feel pain, which leads to emotional reactions that they cannot control.
The same thing with greed, it arises only if you depend on this money. To learn how to control your emotions you need not to experience anything for the money you are trading for.

I think that at the moment we are dealing with blah blah blah. In the current situation, you can say anything, but trust only makes sense to action.
Now we just do not see them. We are witnesses to the information war in the digital race, which in the future is likely to bring digital assets to a completely new level.
But now, I would filter any incoming information in double.

As far as I can see, you have already been provided with a rather extensive list of exchanges on which you can trade, I recommend you use it.
You can also use the search on the forum, because this topic has been discussed more than once. I just want to add on my own that first of all, study the exchange with fictitious volumes, there you better not trade.

There are similar exchanges even in the top 20. If you want to try yourself in margin trading with large leverage, I recommend that you take a closer look at the BitMex exchange.

Yes it seems. Apparently in this way, the starter star decided to draw attention to this project, though I don’t see much sense in it if it so quickly became clear that this coin is dead.
In addition, the heading is rather strange, the amount is indicated in a rather large amount of $ 10,000 and a certain electronic currency, the name of which is disclosed only in a post with a link to the site.
It looks like a typical ad, but it’s not clear why if the coin is already dead

So far these are just words.

The Chinese themselves said that in the coming year one should not wait for the release of their currency, therefore this could well be a political move aimed at provoking the Americans in retaliatory action.
Therefore, I would not rush to conclusions because everything can be what it seems. However, the fact that so much is said about cryptocurrency currency at such high international levels is probably good.

Perhaps the Chinese will develop cryptocurrency and the Americans will try to regulate it as much as possible, which can lead to very interesting things.

As far as I know, this exchange has recently conducted the distribution of coins which are coins of the exchange, which cannot be sold or withdraw something to be done.

I don’t see any reason to use this exchange for trading or for some other purposes, because there are a lot of time-tested good exchanges with real volumes on the market.
To not offer new exchanges, for starters it takes some time to understand whether these exchanges are legitimate, users quickly understand such issues.

But judging from the second post in this topic, it becomes clear that this exchange does not deserve any attention.

Everyone is constantly looking for a catalyst that supposedly forces the market to show the alternative coin season again. I do not think that everything is so simple.

China said that it will release its digital asset and immediately there are a lot of enthusiastic exclamators who shout that China is now the main cryptocurrency and it is thanks to China that we will see a new bull race.
In my opinion, it’s ridiculous to cling to such unreliable and unpredictable factors. One gets the feeling that many people on this forum, even those who have high ranks, are just recently.

These are political games that will cause many more to lose money.

It is better to avoid exchanges unless you are a trader. For trading, you can use the top 10 exchanges that are given in the article. Everyone looks at fictitious volumes on exchanges as leprosy, on the one hand it is. Several times I fell into the trap of exchanges with fictitious volumes when I wanted to sell some coins on them, but I did not succeed because trading was conducted between bots. But the problem is that Bitcoin trading volumes are also fictitious to some extent, because the price of Bitcoin is artificially supported. I think one day the regulators will stop this, there are too many manipulations on the market.

Everyone is to blame for their own fate. Personally, I’m not going to blame anyone specifically.

Each person who fell into the clutches of fraudsters or simply was deceived on the Internet himself went for it voluntarily, it was his choice, so be it.
However, if you look at the whole why people fall into such traps, then it seems to me that the need for money is to blame.

It is she who provokes people to rush in making rash decisions to interfere in dubious matters in the hope that this will help them finally improve their quality of life, and help make money. P
erhaps all this can be reduced to a lack of knowledge or banal ignorance in general, which does not allow people to see real opportunities and use it correctly.

Given what kind of relations between the US and China are now, all such statements in favor of cryptocurrency from China can be a trivial political manipulation.

It makes me think so that China can say anything in order to provoke the USA to certain retaliatory actions that are so beneficial to China in a trade war with the USA. As far as we know, Donald Trump spoke out against cryptocurrency and bitcoin in particular.

What is China doing in response? Supports bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Now the United States will either have to accept the rules of the game imposed by China and take steps towards the development of cryptocurrency in its own country, or continue its line of rejection of crypto.

In fact, it seems that 2020 will be a very turbulent year for cryptocurrency. After all, apparently, the digital asset race has begun between China and the United States, which means that the whole world will participate in it. China also announced that it plans to issue its digital asset - the digital renminbi. It is not known what all this will lead to, but one thing can be said by sovereignty, we are on the verge of a new digital era. In view of this, I would now focus on the Chinese sector when choosing coins for investment.

As practice shows, not only new projects are not desirable as a long-term investment, but also many "old"  alternative coins. Over the past two years, many portfolios have decreased from 50 to 100%, and these portfolios consisted of top coins. Two years cannot be called a long term, however, if we take into account the fact that the coin needs to return to its old position before it can be sold as a plus, then we have rather gloomy prospects for almost all the coins that were bought at the beginning of 2018. However, those who bought coins at the beginning of 2019 feel good even now.

Scam projects are undoubtedly a problem, however, it is impossible to say unequivocally that it is scammers who steal money that kill the love and faith of the crypto market for ordinary people and investors.
Rather, an additional incentive for problems is the manipulative and speculative nature of the market itself, which rejects new people from it.
It is not difficult to notice how people with large volumes of bitcoin manipulate the market. It is difficult to predict your investments in such an unstable and unpredictable market.

There is a very simple explanation why you have not heard anything about the crimes related to terrorism in the field of PPI or have heard so little. While the fundraising is in progress, we may not fully know who the project investor really is, even if he is undergoing an identification process. However, some time after the fundraising ended, it may turn out that among the project investors were members of the organization classified as terrorist. This will become clear only after a while, after which we will receive a notification to the court with subsequent publicity.

The main reason for this is that the entire cryptocurrency market is easily prone to speculation. As you can see, the prices for altcoins are tied to the price of bitcoin, more precisely, are tied to the movement of the price of bitcoins. Although this should not be, because each altcoin is a separate project, with a sensible product and with a separate coin.
All should have relatively independent pricing. But unfortunately the whole market is tied to bitcoin and is subject to strong manipulation. Do not be disappointed, because if you invest in alternative coins now, then they have pretty nice prices. If you bought them when they were expensive, I can only sympathize with you and advise you to be patient.

Decentralization is a very useful thing, especially in those countries where there is a high level of corruption and inflation. I think that not only Africa can help blockchain, but Africa may be one of the first to try to fundamentally change its amenities and quality of life using blockchain technology. Of course, success will depend on the spread of this idea among the population. Indeed, detailing is not beneficial for the government, because it significantly complicates the management of the population. One way or another, Africa can be a good example for developing countries and countries with already developed economies.

Bitcoin is a self-sufficient currency in itself. If you compare it with any other types of fiat funds or stable coins, then the main advantage of Bitcoin is that it does not get bigger,
it cannot be printed or more coins can be created than can be created initially. This means that the value of Bitcoin, due to deflation, can grow, in contrast to the dollar, the value of which is falling inflationarily.

To avoid the problems you listed, it will be enough to duplicate backups to several USB drives. In this case, even if you lose one, you will still have two more.
People make a very big mistake when they are lazy or neglect the ability to make several backups. I consider it a necessity.

How amusing to observe such situations. Everyone expected a further fall, and in this place we see growth.
On the Bitmex exchange, short positions worth $ 150 million were eliminated. Eliminated! Madness.
Everything is as always, the crypto swing continues to work, pumping money.

Under these conditions, this is inevitable.
Of course, I am not a supporter of the verification procedure, but it’s still worth taking some measures.
Perhaps it’s worth introducing the condition that there should be at least a certain amount of ETH on the wallets, this will greatly reduce the number of abusers.
