I'm not trying to dissuade you from your plans,but in my honest opinion,paper trading is more or less useless and it really doesn't educate one on how to trade, in paper trading things hardly ever go wrong as the stakes are inconsequential.
Investing with a real little amount of money would be a far better idea and give you a platform to build on that profitless paper trading

There is no chance in a million years,you'll be able to keep track with all this manipulations carried out mostly by bots.
If it was so easy to speculate and be close to being correct,we'll all be rich through such means as we'll be able to see the bull coming.
To me it's highly improbable to foresee the market movements.

If you wanna fail woefully in trading,then trade based on expert analysis or so called chart study,you will either end up losing a whole lot of money or in the end realizing(probably when it's too late)that the market is unpredictable.
You'll have to Stay longer in here and also be patient to reap future rewards

It seems you wanna trade with a huge amount,and most exchanges do not require identification for some amount when trading,lets say from 100 dollars down.
So it maybe down to the amount you intend to trade with
You could check out localbitcoins, the last time I checked they do not require user ID or you could also trade via OTC

It's not possible for all bots trading platforms to be scams,but it emits a whole lot of risk,same as manual trading though.
But if you ask me it's much better and safer to trade manually,and without the use of an automatic computer(Bot)

Reading a whitepaper I must confess is actually boring,considering how long they usually are, I do not read all the whitepapers of projects I've both invested or advertised for
I simply tend to study whitepapers of promising projects and the ones I envisage I'll be tempted to hodl for a very long period
The whitepaper gives you an idea,a focal point of what the team actually has up their sleeves,its best to take out time to study it, and if anything isn't so clear or is obscure to you,then you can forward your concern to the team,if they have issues answering you, it's most probably a shitty or scam project

There are many individuals who started trading that very time you claim you wish you started,and they incurred huge losses and hoped they hadn't started then and probably now,thats not to say so many others didn't make profits, it just goes to show that there happens to be no perfect time,unless we create such ourselves and that's only through developing your trading ideas and skills,likewise investing wisely.
Make this very time you got in,the perfect time

When you ask a whole community for advice on what coins to invest in,you probably would get thousands of replies,which one of them would you apply as your trading strategy
The more reason why you should find out informations on your own and try to find out about new coins or existing coins
Just a quick Google Search would guide you

I guess with the little improvements we've been having,the bottom isn't actually in,at least just yet, it's been a terrible year with the bitcoin flooring most supposed experts and their factless predictions,further proof that we have no grip on the market movements or what's gonna happen next

If it lasts for a hundred years,its safe to say it probably lasted forever:lol
I don't believe in the notion that nothing lasts forever,bitcoin is not some ponzi scam or a fancy coin and it's proven that in just ten years.

Probably most alts would disappear sooner or later,but I doubt the bitcoin will follow suit,as long as devs keep working on the technology,and adding additional features,then the bitcoin could last for as long as possible

I feel this contributes a bit to the issue here,imagine if everyone is a hodler and no one uses the bitcoin to carry out any financial transactions whatsoever,then I think the bitcoin will totally become a store of value,something we just buy to keep for future purposes.
I think the less we hodl,the more adoption we could be getting

You cannot get any factual reason as to this sudden happy recovery,but what we did know was that it was going to come,but we were obviously unaware of the time it will
I honestly feel the demand has increased a bit and more money has been pumped in as this demand led to more investors,just my mere speculations

We can't talk of the bull run yet,as it's still early,but we all have it at the backs of our mind

This are known facts that many have put into practice and yet still incurred loss, that is to say no strategy is the best, or a sure one
Your points aren't too bad per se, they are fairly OK for one who's new to trading and probably hasn't read any guides whatsoever.

I think your best point is money management,its very essential and can ultimately reduce potential loss

I think your best bet in moving your Fiat currency around is definitely going to be PayPal and that's because that's exactly what I've been using for years now, and as of yet I haven't experienced any mishap or any inconveniences
I really do not know if anyone has had any issue with PayPal?
But I personally have not, you can try them out

90% would definitely go for a hardware wallet,and I'm also included,as it's the safest means to store your coins
Storing your coins in an exchange in just like inviting trouble for yourself,and you could regret it in the long run in case of any major hacks

As far as I know and I've experienced,a hardware wallet would protect your investment solidly

Its invariably what works for one, be it trading or hodling,not one of them comes out well every single time, and in my opinion there is no need picking one above the other
It's down to what every individual can handle in terms of skills,capital,time frame etc

Some dudes have earned a lot from hodling you know,they sure wouldn't subscribe to your info,others have seen their investments go to scratch,thats what trading is all about,i cant pick a winning formula if you ask me

This your"accusation" is a strange one,have you been banned previously?,how did you experience such, as far as I know,i have not seen any banned user complain about such, the only complaint is the fact that theymos hardly ever replies such mails and that's were it ends.
The forum would in no way spam a user/member,never.

It does'nt to me, this looks more like an announcement or an advertisement,and I'm wondering why OP decided to post in in meta

I think it'll be moved soon by a mod.

Using a member account to appeal a ban seems strange to me ,i think the other day as well I came across an appeal with a full member account.

The system seems to be making it hard for this guys and making it easy for us,as we get just one,and they end up giving us two accounts to ban

Kids lecturing adults on the bitcoin,did you really just say this,even most developers haven't fully understood the bitcoin and the blockchain technology to the latter.

I wouldn't even recommend the bitcoin to be taught to children just yet, it could be brought up to them maybe in their college years,when they probably could assimilate much better,and be wise when using the network
