Well, I do not have much information about what happened in Africa about Bitcoin transactions., but I see that in that continent, there is no greater knowledge in the field of cryptocurrencies and even their importance positively in this era, except Maroc and South Africa which are planning through future projects, to benefit from  Bitcoin and this is a good step for those two countries.

In addition to that, it is unfortunate that many countries (especially in Africa and Asia) do not know that Bitcoin have changed all financial transactions in a good way, and have become better than FIAT (Dollars, Euro.. ). but if bitcoin will become stronger and the governments cannot destroy it and cyrptocurrencies in general, than it certain that many countries will recognize it as a legal currency.

Actually, before you choose an altcoin, you should read their whitepaper and if you have a good knowledge you can know that this digital  currency  will have a good future or not. Furthermore, and I wanna advise you on something, if you are beginner in the field of cryptocurrency you must learn the basics, else , you will lose a large amount of money especially when you rush to choose an altcoin. because there are many scam's in the whole internet.

In my opinion, the most important thing in every good altcoin  is the acceptable value of market cap and  if it has more than 3 Billion dollars , then it is certain that this cryptocurrency will have a great future. It is also necessary to follow their news well, because  there may be new  developments in every period.

Honestly, before you start in any field and especially trading  you must overcome the  internal conflicts because  the biggest issue  that lead to large financial losses and frequent failure is the psychological problems and I see that there is a ton of those people and the problem is  that they want always tips to avoid mistakes in trading.

As a matter of fact, after you overcome the internal conflicts , you must learn well the field of trading and understand it, and it is important to read some books because It will help you a lot to understand the basics. Plus, you must have a different strategies to every event or situation because there are always developments in the market, so you must have a good vision.

Hope it will help everyone.

Well, it is sure that Ethereum is the best profitable cryptocurrency after Bitcoin despite that their current price in a bit low ($640) due to it is related to Bitcoin in every development, so you must take advantage of this period through buying a good amount of Ethereum, Before it is rising dramatically, because this prediction is very expected to happen in the near future. Moreover, maybe after a few weeks the price of Ethereum will increase to $ 1000 especially if Bitcoin will become $ 12K.
On the other hand, I believe that the value of Ethereum will jump with a large proportion, particularly if the governments will recognize it as a legal currency. and I am pretty sure that this expectation will happen after a few years

In my opinion, I think this period is the last opportunity to buy a large proportion of Bitcoin because their price returned to the height after a long crisis ( 3 months ). Furthermore, it is very expected that the value of this currency will rise significantly in the near future and maybe this week, we will see $ 10K in price.

In addition to that, the storm began after a long calm. and it is sure that this period is appropriate to invest  and especially to hold all the financial budget in Bitcoin. So we must behave well and just  wait a while because there will be unexpected and good surprises and maybe after a few months the price of Bitcoin will rise to $ 20K or more.

What if someone copied your post ( especially when he/she is a newbie ) ?
And maybe his only goal is to destroy you  ( through " a permanent ban" ).

In general, holding is an appropriate way to make an acceptable profit, but without risk, and in my opinion, in the field of cryptocurrencies, the risk is very essential to make a lot of money, but there must be choices that are not hasty and deal with any new situation (intelligent and appropriately) and even the strategies are very important.

On the other hand, the best time to HODL when there is a widespread crisis in whole market ( like, what happened in the  last period, when Bitcoin fell to $ 7000 ), and then it is certain that after 6-12 months, the profit will be large and unexpected. So right  timing or  opportunity is the most important thing when you want to Hold also you must have a futuristic vision and you can learn it  through many experiences .

Honestly, there is always a volatility in value of all currencies (Crypto and FIAT). As well, It is true that the era of Bitcoin or digital currencies in general have changed all financial transactions to the best and because of their advantages, there has been a significant evolution in the number of their users over time, but it is not the main reason for US dollar decline. 

As a matter of fact, there is always a stability in the price of US dollars and most FIAT, contrary to what happens in Cryptocurrencies. For me, I think if the governments cannot destroy Bitcoin, then it sure that there will be a global reorganization of him, and may it will be the single currency, when this is achieved, I am pretty sure that FIat (Dollars, Euro) will disappear.

In my opinion, I think Ripple is the most profitable  cryptocurrency ( with a weak price  ) especially in a long term  because their current price in low  compared to other ones, but  it is characterized by a huge amount of Market cap ( 36 Billion dollars ), that's why their value of supply is great. and I am pretty sure that this currency will rise with a big proportion and particularly, if Bitcoin will continue to evolve. So Ripple  will be a good currency to invest an acceptable amount in it.
In addition to that, I think because of Bitcoin's rise, many currencies will be of great importance, due to they are the followers. So I advise everyone (especially a beginner) to invest 50% of your budget in Bitcoin, 25% in Ripple, 15% in Ethereum, and 10 in Cardano.

Actually, before everything you must accept this bad decision which led you to a loss because those currencies rose significantly in this period, and believe me, If you keep blaming yourself for this mistake, then this will adversely affect your decisions or your future choices. So just accept the truth and you must deal with this new situation.

Furthermore, you must  learn from  this bad  experience, and  the most important thing is to compensate for this loss with an acceptable profit in the near future. In my opinion, you must collect a good amount of Bitcoin and Ethereum, maybe you should search for some jobs or other things. and then, just HODL all your budget in those two cryptocurrencies, and I am pretty sure that you will earn a lot of money. just deal with the truth in intelligent way.

It is not the same thing.
But if  I am wrong. I will lock this thread.

Simply, you must use this template (  By Theymos )  with the appropriate proof and then, post it in this thread.

Be patience. And please, do not send PM many times to  Administrators . 


Hope this move  will help Cyrus and Theymos to check all the proofs.

In general, It is expected that many cryptocurrencies will rise significantly within this year. Moreover, I think most of them are in the TOP 20 , and fortunately, the spread crisis or drop in the whole market is over, also due to Bitcoin has returned strongly, most of digital currencies advanced with him ( the followers). So everything is related to Bitcoin, I think that after some months there will be positive developments.

As a matter of fact, it is certain that the best two cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin and Ethereum) will boom with a huge value, but I expect there will be unexpected surprise for Ripple (XRP) because many capitalists invested a big proportion of money in this currency, that's why the value of their market cap is very important and huge compared to their weaker price. Plus, may be in this year, their price will rise to $ 20 or more.

Well, I am totally agree with you. Before starting in this field (choosing ICO), everyone must have a thorough knowledge in the basics of ICO. Moreover, I see that there is a ton of fake or scam ICO'S in the whole internet and unfortunately, it is very widespread, due to many people are easily fooled and the weak point of many of them is "The greed". Plus, they always want to make a lot of money in an easy way such as, Airdrop....

In addition to that, the scammers are everywhere, In fact, we must be careful of them, and not rushing to choose the ICO, and for me, I think the most easy way to know that ICO is real or fake (When you have a good knowledge in that field) is reading the Whitepaper . and if you know that there are a technical errors, then there is a great possibility that this it is a scam.
Be careful guys.

When you ask the owner of project  : Why your project failed? , and his answer is always like this way : I do not have enough money , I have  chosen the wrong partner, I do not have contacts... ( Excuses ) .

Unfortunately, many of them do not accept the truth of failure ,  and depend through false excuses ( Lies ).

I will  suggest some tips to bypass the failure of project, and they will be as the following:

1- Accept the truth of what happened to you:

You must accept that your project did not succeed. Trust me, it is normal that  you will make a ton of mistakes in your life. But you should learn from them in a quick way, because that will help you a lot in your next steps.

2- Read, Feed your mind ( knowledge):

You may have failed because you did not have enough knowledge in this field.
You should always learn new information, technologies (like, Blockchain ).
Reading and learning, improves your degree of creativity .

In addition to that,  it is unfortunate that there is a ton of negative ideas, news.. in the whole world.
So you have to get away from all these things and sometimes you have to be isolated from this negative world and try to feed your mind with positive and useful things like reading books...

"Every day stand guard at the door of your mind and feed it something good "
                                                                                                              - Jim rohn


2-Forget the failure and re-start again:

You must overtake the failure of the first experience with positive thinking ( optimism).
Do not give up in the first attempt,  and nothing is impossible, if you make a great effort  then you will  achieve your goal  ( project  ).
Maybe you have to try new things in your project , because that would lead to new results and do not try to repeat the same mistakes.

If you succeed , you will repeat  the same of it .
If you fail, you will learn new things, and will become smarter than before.

Improve some things in your project , and try again , again and again ... Until you reach to  the successful.

Good luck to everyone.  

Honestly, I think that Ripple (XRP)  is the best profitable currency in a long term ( after Bitcoin and Ethereum )  despite that it has a weak price compared to other ones,  but their market cap is huge ( 36 Billion Dollars)  , and became widespread in many places. In fact, I advise you to collect or buy a large proportion of this cryptocurrency because it is certain that after a few years, Ripple will jump significantly and in a fast way, due to many capitalists invested huge sums in this currency.

Furthermore, Cardano and Tron are not a scam, and they have a great potential, and it is true that their prices are pretty low, but they will have great importance in a middle and a long term. You must take advantage from this time, because many cryptocurrencies in decline despite that in this period there is a little jump in the whole market. So this may be the last opportunity to purchase a different digital currencies.

Well, It is very difficult that at some point, there will be a better cryptocurrency than the king bitcoin in the value of market cap and even price, especially within the next years. Because the whole market is related to Bitcoin and It is controlling everything.

Furthermore, the other digital currencies (like, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin..) are the followers of Bitcoin. For example, in this day, Bitcoin's price has risen significantly, and when you see the other cryptocurrences in the market , then you notice that they are all green.

On the other hand, in the era of cryptocurrency there are always unexpected events , we cannot know what will happen in the future, but we may analyze the situation or give predictions that may be wrong or true. And now the fact that Bitcoin has multiple advantages compared to other cryptocurrencies.

You must travel through time and back to 8 years ago. And with regard to the OP, It is difficult to know what is the best and appropriate time to buy a large proportion of Bitcoin, because the events change over time, and there are always unexpected surprises in the market, for example, months ago, when the price was huge ($ 18K), all people thought that this currency would jump by a large percentage and will become more than $ 30K. But unfortunately, there was a reversal of expectations and the price fell to $ 6000.

As a matter of fact,  the opportunities must always be exploited in a smart way, You must have different strategies for each new event, you should not buy in a random way, because that would lead to many financial losses. So there is no best time to buy due to your choices may will be wrong,  and  you can even  behave well in a difficult time, just you must have a futuristic vision and realistic.   

In my opinion, there are many exchange platforms, but be careful when you choose which one will keep your alternative coins in a safe way because there many scam platforms. As well, I advise you to choose Binance , due to it  is ranked first as the best exchange  platform, and it is very secure and safe compared to other ones. and even poloniex , bittrex are not bad, Plus, you must protect yourself from the hackers, so you must keep your information in a safe place.

In addition to that, for me, before keeping your money in exchange  platform , you must learn how to secure yourself ( the security ), you should  not click on bad links because there may be many viruses in them. Furthermore, the most essential thing is you must  keep your personal information on a flash disk, because there is always a possibility that your computer will be hacked.
  

Actually, I think everything is related to the governments ( countries ), if the majority of them will recognize bitcoin as legal currency , then it is certain that the value of Bitcoin will rise significantly and in a fast way  and there is a great possibility that this  will be achieved in the near future ( maybe after 1 year or more ) , if not,  there may be new attacks to destroy it, and their value may will increase but I do not think it is too much , especially in  this year because there are many problems that which led to a significant fall in Bitcoin and most of cryptocurrencies in general.  

Moreover, due to bitcoin in a little crisis, so I think we must HODL a large proportion in this period, because I am pretty sure that this currency will become stronger and maybe we will see more than $ 100K in their price after a few years.
So we must be patience, and it is sure that there will be good surprises.
