In Satoshi whitepaper, he created  Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System as form digital currency, this technology has evolved with lots of critism that had survived from the hands of traditional finance body, politics and other firms that has seen cryptocurrency as an opponent that will disrupt their centralized financial system.
However, individuals and group of people (scammers) has a way to take advantage of ignorance and tricks to swindle investor and amateur their live savings by promising high returns. They are saturated in every social network( YouTube, Facebook channels /groups, WhatsApp e.t.c), bitcointalk forum is not excluded.

You often see comments like:
Send 1btc to this address and receive 2btc
Send 2btc to this address and receive 4btc
Since I started trading bitcoin with Mr. Michael, I have never lost any money. I started with $200 and I have gain $3000
Pm Mr. Michael @ Michael201



Cryptocurrency space is vast with lots of folks with common interest ( sole aim to make profits) but we must also realize that for business to grow, we have to make schedule maintenance. We must protect the investors from getting discourage, change their misconceptions about bitcoin and other digital currency. This protection start as an individual, not just financial body as SEC.
 
Theymos sees future in this community despite different hack attacks, it was still revived. Thanks to him. This space must be well conserve for the future.
As a bitcointalk soldier who has always prove to keep the good reputation of this forum and help beginners, what can you do to safeguard  this Ecosystem?

In addition to what OP posted, there are similar  websites out there that promised to pay btc when you watch dozen of videos on their website and refer friends, it's disappointing at the end after wasting your monthly data subscription on videos without getting paid.
It was down on me when I noticed the videos were actually linked to YouTube channel to gain views.
 There is nothing like free money or bitcoin, you either work for it infom of service or invest your own money for it.

Here is an advice from a newbie like you, this is not necessary. When you try to a create topic, find something unique with creative content and not something out of line, search Google if similar topic exist to avoid double thread on the forum else the mod will delete it.
You should try and Learn the basic forum rules and guide as suggested above, you may end up ban from this community  

Greed and been ignorance are things that cannot be separated from a novice in this field, it's either they possess one or the both. What they failed to understand is, there is no free money on the internet and crypto space. It's either you invest or work for it.

It's not about large/ low market cap, it's order book and volume, It can happen to bitcoin or any other coins when trading.
All order type has merits and Demerits depend how and when you use it. There are certain trade that you can not use Limits order type especially when market is crashing(This happens when price dump within minutes). You will end up with huge loss and your order will not be executed.
Sometimes, limit order got jumpout even if you set it before a pump or dump.
You have to used market order when necessary, March black Friday came to my mind when BTC flash crash to 3.6k, limit sell order isn't the best such period.

There is lot of thread and so much to read and adhere to, I will take time to go through each thread
That's motivating, thank you. I will not disappoint you.

Good day everyone, I just joined this forum and I'm looking forward on how to make my contribution into this big forum.
I have knowledge about trading, cryptocurrency in general. Where do I start from?
