With my knowledge and understanding about bitcoin,  I want to ask if marketing of products or buying and selling of other products in bitcoin forum is possible or bitcoin forum is all about cryptocurrency and if probably it is indeterminate or fortuitous to venture into such transaction in bitcoin forum, what is the hypothetical or promising level of making such action or purchase a successful one, and what is the gratification and detriment of such interprise.

I tried downloading a bitcoin wallet and many options pop up. But to my knowledge about cryptocurrency there are a lot of scam wallet around so in other to avoid falling a victim I am seeking an advice on a legit bitcoin wallet to download.

  Well Sometime in September this year president Donald Trump vented his disdain to two players of the NFL kneeling down while the national anthem was going on.

Although some would see this as a very selfless act of regard to the nation but the president had an opposite view you could deduct from his tweet that he was attributing the flaws of the league in some areas to the humble actions of the player.

Also there was an image showing clearly president Donald Trump hand not on his chest while other notable figures had theirs on there chest while the anthem was going on this raised some eyebrows on trumps attitude but it was latter revealed that the picture was fake.

  Either way we all have our different opinion and ways of  doing this and if we try to make people do see our way as the right one the peace would be lost.
Every one has a right to respect the nation as they choose so far as it's right and not harmful 

It's so sad that cryptocurrency which is a digital currency has offered us a lot of advantages over traditional currency Has been infested with fraudsters, hackers and generally men of the underworld.

Cryptocurrency can not come to an end because of the activities of these bad eggs neither can they(fraudsters) be completely eradicated this are menace we crypto enthusiasts have to live with and also constantly evolve to counter there activities.

 In as much as this individuals are smart, wise and sneaky there are some indiscipline that we exhibits that makes us fall prey to this bad guys.
One of the most important and disastrous of them is GREED this character alone can get you duped not just once but several times the cryptocurrency world those not owe your millions so don't think you can come in and become one with out time, effort and knowledge
Other attitude that gives us away are

*inadequate observation... In as much as this guy's come out with great schemes to defraud unsuspecting individual they must be a loop hole if carefully observed Cam counter their attack. Most offer you fake exchanges, wallet e. T. C you can do well to research on them and know their trust level you don't just jump into it just because it's a link and you are captivated by the landscape of the site and it appeals to you as legit no that is a wrong move it's even rear for a reputable exchange, wallet to send you a private link to their site come on the have over a million users already. Also observe names and identity mimicry this is very important most platform those not allow multiple users with similar name but this can be altered slightly by these evil doers to avoid detection

*only trust yourself and God... Never trust anyone not even your hot girl friend everyone is in cryptocurrency to make something out for themself when you understand that. You will keep you wallet address, private keys and even your devices personal.

*seek multiple opinion... For example if Mr a is in partnership with the bad gang Mr b is not and if Mr b is then Mr c is not. Even when searching google about something you not sure of there are many opinion that will be brough out try to weigh various ones.

The topic of safety can not be overemphasized try to make it part of you. You have to practically become a watch dog. The sector is filled with scams stay safe.

Hello community

  I am a newbie to this forum but certainly not a new bie to life and understanding.

Going through this forum I must say I have been greatly impacted from the highest ranking to the lowest ranking. I have taking some knowledge regardless of the rank or status.

I woke of to meet this twisted post and I was perplexed to say the list.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5055497.0

The merit issue has many some get demented, obsessed and confused and this can only need to plagiarism, low esteem and wrong conclusion

There is certainly no place it is written that only legendary members or other higher ranking member would get a merit.  So to all those noobs feeling so pls that is a wrong perception.
This post right now will get merit if it was a legendary member that made it so will a newbie also get as well.
But it definitely lies on who get impacted on it.

You can't make negative post just because you have not been able to level up it's just not right before God and man. You don't know who's zeal you have crashed.

Try and go through thread, read a lot of books and videos about cryptocurrency work on your personal motivation and avoid being obsessed about the whole merit system.

There is no high rank members that is against newbies if not the newbies restrictions would have still been in place. Get your statistics right before you come with any allegation

No one was born to fail neither is there anyone that can't learn. Learning is a continuous process no matter the level or field you are.. We all are humans and we are prone to mistakes and we should not be shy to.

A huge number of people came here as complete novice and I am guessing most got cold feet and have up after the demotion.

  But there is really nothing to learning what the forum and cryptocurrency entails. Firstly you have to bring out your time and be committed, do not be fazed by any challenges  there is always room for improvement.

When registering and was like a week old I observed that merit was the aim of so many. And the more you become merit oriented the more you lose it and don't even get merited.

You can just be simple and contribute to your knowledge capacity and get reward for it. The quest for immediate success can lead you into doing stuff that is against the rules for example plagiarism.

No one here will condemn you for being original and trying your best. Drop any ambiguous dreams or greed and just enjoy your stay here and I believe you will not regret it

The importance of privacy can not be overemphasized. Yes it's is hard or even to possibly for fraudsters to infiltrate you with out having the slight lead or hint about you.  We currently leaving in a global tech hub where technology is taken over. In as much as this is a good thing it's has it adverse effects

The process of doing transactions online has made things easier and faster although this is true it has also created an avenue for scammers. Most transcations that is done online requires you to submit some certain details about you be it know you customer or proof of residency. Well this material if sent to the wrong Hands can be detrimental so it's imperative to know who you sending such vital information to

Password and private key. This are like assess code into your stuffs. There are virtually few things you open online that doesn't require you have a password or a private key. Once you are careless with them the consequences are disastrous. Never for any reason give this information out to anyone.

Your personal device should be kept personal. No matter what your device is be it a laptop, desk top or palm top there should be a limit to the amount of intruders gaining access to it. You can set a password code to it

Limit the amount of people you accept on your account.
Be it social media accounts, bitcoin talk account e.t.c limitations to the amount of people that are your friends if possible only mutual friends. So many has been defraud by unknown personality they meet online.  Some Even send you some links that are virus that when click can hack most of your account


PS: the enemies will need information about you before they can stick don't give them that assess. Adopt  privacy oriented strategies

What does it mean to plagiarise?

Well this is the act of copying another person work, words or ideas pretending that they are you own. So many individuals has been guilty of this act of theft not only in the forum but outside this forum

Why is plagiarism a menace?

Other than plagiarism been an act of theft which is punishable by most forum, bodies, government and even organisation. It is also misleading act of plagiarism if not caught can get you praises or even position which you don't deserve and in the long run will not only affect you personally(that is to say you can't handle the new heights) it also affect the forum(thats is to say you will tarnish the image of the forum).. Also it is bad because you deprived the actual owner of the words, article or ideas he/her rightful credits be it money wise, elevated position or any form so it is wrong in both man and God perspective.

 What's the difference between plagiarism and sourcing?

  For quite some time post people that are found guilty of plagiarism has always claimed that they sourced it.  It is not obviously wrong to source through  others ideas when making an article or idea.
   Sourcing or citation is when you use someone's idea and stating or siting where you got it from with follow up of your own personal ideas,work or comment

 While plagiarism is when you wrongfully steal someones work without stating or siting the original source of the information and also not adding your own work or idea.

How can plagiarism be avioded.

Well first  you should avoid copying a post letter for letter without adding your own personal knowledge and not also siting where you originally got it from.

*you can also avoid plagiarism by reading up an article, digesting it and the giving birth to a summary in your own understanding of the post. You can also state where you got it to be completely safe.

How to catch plagiarism.

  Plagiarism is definitely a menace that need to be thrown away but most times those guilty of plagiarism go undetected but that not the case in this forum because there are a lot of learned individual here looking out for culprits. But for those that still don't know how it's done
There are applications that can run a plagiarism test on an article and detect if it is plagiarise and also indicating the source. You can find them on Google Play Store or apple store some examples are...  Plagiarism checker, advance plagiarism checker, and so on

PS.. It's best to avoid plagiarism because you not only risk yourself getting ban you also depriving yourself the opportunity to learn and also causing harm to others... 

Amongst all social medium telegram is mostly used in terms of cryptocurrency related programs.  Most bounty and ico project all have telegram acct which they make mandatory for customers and hunters to join in other to get information and announcement. Most of them have channels where the give news and update as well

Although telegram social media platform has been helpful for the cryptocurrency community. It has also been a honey well for scammers and fraudsters.

So many unsuspecting  individual has be robbed of their coins, token or even money when they come in contact with this telegram thieves

How do day work

There are various way in which this men of the underworld  perpetrate their fraudulent activities most opens their groups and add individual into it with fake and bot exciting member who just praise the project and make good comment just to entice the unsuspecting individual. once they fall they might part way with their money, coins or token fraudulently.

Some use a personal acct to send messges claiming to want to buy or sell a coin or token which are not real or existing

So you see telegram has been used for good and also for evil. It's quite certain that cryptocurrency activities can not just stop been done on telegram so the only way we can help ourself is to be safe and security conscious

Telegram has made it that once you are sent a message or added to any group which you did not authorize there is an icon with report spam on top it's best to push the button once you suspect any thing.  

And also read the name of people you think is part of a project you are on or you are doing any business with no two persons bears the same user name but some criminals has found a way around that by change some insignificant things to the names like for example you know one henrycryptocoin and he is legit you can be messaged by someone bearing henricyptocoin and so many other addition so it is quite necessary to read the names well.

Never accept and click any link sent to you with out knowing what it is about some link contains some virus in which when clicked can have assess to you private information on your phone.

PS.  It's necessary to be safe on telegram and any other social media platform for that matter

Bitcoin is a p2p system of transaction. Bitcoin has shown alot of signs so far that it is here to stay and even over Shadow the normal system of transaction.

Bitcoin which was created in 2009 by sir satoshi Nakamoto it growth level is quite OK and the value is still volatile and prone to changes of the market
 
Bitcoin has some advantages over other transactions process like it does not have and fee or charges attached to it and it is decentralized meaning it is not regulated.
Well as a cryptocurrency enthusiast my wish obviously is to see a rapid growth of bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large but truth be told there is a lot of work needed

Well limitations like lack of transaction protection on like make payment that is under a body regulations which you have protection for it. Making transactions with bitcoin does not guarantee you any security so it totally at your own risk

Also with bitcoin transaction can not be reversed like it is with other system of transaction

If you lose your bank account number or pass word you can go to the bank and fill certain forms and probably get it back but not with bitcoin wallet one you lose your wallet and it's detail it is gone forever all your earning blown away

Also lesser transaction opportunities. Although the cryptocurrency world is growing using it to make transactions might not be generally accepted as of now.  Not every one accepts it


PS. Cryptocurrency is no joking ground and it is still developing when you are in it either you gain or you lose. It is very important to know how to navigate it personal security should be of optimal level. Go through educational books and videos. Protect you personal details like your private keys and so on.

We all want cryptocurrency to grow but work needs to be done
