Are there John Oliver and Last Week Tonight fans here? I was shocked that he made a full feature on cryptocurrency on his show (thanks Dan!). Then again, Seth Meyers did make a pseudo TV ad on bitcoin and The Daily Show had Ronnie Chang make a short piece on cryptos like Dogecoin.

The video can be watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6iDZspbRMg

John's show gets up to 10 million views worldwide on Youtube alone. I love JO, that rat-faced host. And he made some very good points about the pump-and-dump schemes and being a careful investor -- Holler if you are part of #craefulgang!

At the same time he also overlooked other issues and also unfairly portrayed the crypto sphere as crazy. Anyway, he is a comedian after all and I did get a few laughs out of it.

But, who will have the last laugh? 

Hi all! Sorry if this is in the wrong thread or someone has reported it. I just wanted to share right away.

I saw an airdrop form for Spritecoin in one of my groups but did not sign up.

BEWARE! There is no such cryptocurrency as SpriteCoin, no real ICO.

In general, don't rush to install wallets. Research and look for feedback from users. There are threads here with tips on how to avoid installing malicious apps thinking they are new coin wallets.

Some people I know who are into crypto trading had previous experience in stock exchange and FOREX markets. Though I have mutual funds and select stocks, I never got around to trading. With crypto exchanges, I've only bought or sold. I'm curious how newbies and the "uninitiated" got started in trading and playing the dips, lows, and swings. Which were the most helpful resources you found? It can be a BTT thread or blog. Where did you first trade? Thanks for sharing!
