I created Coins PH back in 2017, before I registered in here because I was looking for something to invest at. Back in the days, it was not that quite strict for KYC, but now it is absolutely strict.
I just let that bitcoin sitting in my wallet before I transferred it to Electrum for security. Never want yourself to get locked out of your own funds.

Well as for some people thinking that "trading" would make someone rich in a day is a really absurd statement and it makes me cringe on why do they decide on that kind of risky decision.
I would never ever risk my job to trade it all in crypto.
If one is in a toxic workplace and it affects one's mentality, what more can it effect when crypto's unstable price can do to one's mentality.

Quite curious on what sorts of question "he" asks. Is this another coined term to just say that it is a KYC verification wherein you put in your email address. name, and sometimes even the country you reside?
I gave up on airdrops long time ago and regardless of how reputated the platform is/was, I would never give out my email address no more.

Careful in holding stablecoins. You are surely aware that stablecoins are possible to be frozen, even in your own wallet right? You never wanted that to happen to  you, aside from getting your funds frozen inside an exchange. I know someone mentioned below you that it is still safe, but it would be safer than sorry scenario for me though.

Yes, especially that you mentioned about "illegal trades regarding forum".
Even though the user can just be tagged directly with a feedback of "offers to trade merits/buy/sell accounts through PM", there are chances that a non-DT member would come across users like this and their feedback wouldn't be directly visible to many users.

If it contains sensitive information, just encrypt it just like the note says before sending a PM/DM

They are and still kicking really really hard these days mostly NFT games.
Here in my country, I would say AXS to be specific. People still pursue for scholarships due to how expensive those whatever they're buying at is right now.
I am way off my time to pursue those kinds of stuffs.

In Wayback Machine, have you tried checking the "Save Outlinks" option like this?


It took quite a while for me to take a snapshot though, maybe due to number of pages.

Edit: It was able to archive multiple pages, but some encounter an error like (Error! Unknown error for chrome-error://chromewebdata/ (HTTP status=0).).
It might be different in your end, since I am experiencing a little bit of an internet problem right now.

Bitcoin just went down by almost 5k from 65k and people are now calling it a crash. How about that dip to 32k?
This is just like those "any other day" correction. People are also selling their coins and it isn't just about the demand pumping up, OP.
Chill out and just hold, assuming you're not holding a shitcoin.

Well it has been around 60k+ for long and I am expecting it to just sometimes dip, and just do the usual correction. It is nothing to worry about, we have been from 32k-ish dip and this is not anything new for us for sure.
Just keep hodling.
There are just those people that see if Bitcoin went ++ then say "oh okay", but then when it dips a little bit, they go "oh no bitcoin crash, we sell".

It's not, trust me. Sure we got Doge and Shiba Inu that are popular meme coins, but it is just the hype around the internet that made them quite mainstream and I am going to be honest that the coin really flooded up my news feed in Facebook (mostly Shiba Inu).

@OP
I read a little in the WP provided. Circle of Life? Really?

Well that is an "if only" scenario, but you already knew that altcoins tend to follow Bitcoin price movement quite a lot.

Bitcoin already beat its last ATH so that's another thing. Just keep holding, OP. If you were here since 2018, which I believe so since you registered here back in 2017, you should already had experience the lowest of Bitcoin and this whatever "red" marker are you talking about would be just nothing.

Depends on what exchange it is. I would advice against it if X coin is listed to X exchange, which in short don't invest in coins that is listed to its own name of an exchange. You're risking getting locked out of your funds claiming that their team needs to collect information to those who bought their tokens, and worst is wanting your information as a KYC procedure.

I had never invested in those coins that you mentioned, but take my advice.

This is pretty much it for most people that are new to crypto. Those meme coins getting hyped and people are just jumping into it, so that the pump are surely going to be taken care of. I have a question though. How many "new" projects had you invested out of all your investment, since you mentioned that you had invested in "some" newer project.
They're potentially good, but many just don't end up in a long term.

Either way in exchanges, you already had the risk of losing your fund anyway. I personally never had any cold storage, and I am just having a separate machine that is for my own desktop wallet. It won't be used for any browsing purposes that would risk of getting hacked or getting infected by spy/malware. Kind of an alternative, if one also does not want to spend too much in a hardware wallet.

Is this another shilling of that project called "CheckDot"?  I had seen another user asking for an advice for scam projects and s/he also indirectly mentions this project. Is this project really getting popular or is it just that the project have poor marketing strategy that other users are indirectly shilling it for other users to check out?
It does not work for me though.

Well ICOs were all like scam pit in that year already, and if you were reading the news a lot as well as plenty of discussion in here, you could have already decided that it is time to cash that 10x'ed money of yours. I cannot blame you at the same time because you might have thought that that project is for long-term, but make sure to remember next time that "pump and dump" projects are quite common in newer projects.

If I am going to share my worst experience in crypto, it would be just an airdrop trying to phish me.

Lol, tell me about it. Those people claiming to had succeed in trading just by reading this book or just joining this course is a complete BS and it just makes me want to cringe on how they claim that you should buy this and that and you're all set, meanwhile self-taught traders that succeed after gazillions of losses are laughing at the side.

Can you also depend on that whatever platform you mentioned to avoid scams? Such platforms won't guarantee you that they can just "assess" a project head on.
Why depend on another project when can you just assess it by your own?

I recall OP mentioning CheckDot project quite few times now from his other post history.

Well you asked how to get started in Bitcoin. Aside from what was mentioned below you, take note that you'll invest for a rig.
I personally never invested in a rig, and whatever side money I had for investment were all in Bitcoin. This year is crap mostly for electronics as well due to shortages of chips and stuffs.
For a starter, you should just buy Bitcoin just like how you got your Ethereum.

Say for example a new phone company just started releasing their brand new phone. Would you trust them your money for your safety of using the phone or even not being scammed?
It is not all about the teams sometimes, OP. It is all about the slow progression of the project itself. Consider in cryptos that there are exit scams. I recall Squid Game token even doing this, not sure if it was exit scam, but it is similar to it.
