I recall some other "desperate moves" here in the forum wherein the OP wants to sell all his assets including his house, just for the sake of investing it in crypto. There's just that those people that think that they can go long step forward just to get ahead of these elites.

I agree that the Internet is sufficient enough for every knowledge, and most of the resources out there are even free and being published almost everywhere. Some are even being published in Youtube and that's a plus, because not everybody is a fan of reading.

No matter how you look at it, it is a desperate gamble and there isn't perfect time for it so don't just do it because you are scared to miss the opportunity to buy. Time by time, the price of Bitcoin corrects anyway and shouldn't that the opportunity for you to buy? You're risking something that you might not be able to pay after the due of loaned/borrowed money is up.
There's a blind "what ifs" in that.

I wouldn't loan ever for the sake of investment. You could just use that borrowed money to build your business and just use whatever amount you earned from that for investment.

It's not that I discourage you, but this is where "stakes are high" comes into play.

I think this thread fits more in Trading Discussion.

Maybe don't, OP. If I was holding one right now, I would immediately sell. It is gonna be another winter season when the Bitcoin corrects again in price, and you should expect that. Think of it as when you bought that alt as a reward that you didn't end up buying a shitcoin, since that is what many altcoins are gonna end at in the end.

I am not saying that the coin you mentioned is a shitcoin. It is more of like for other coins out there.

Because it is true. Not everyone has two jobs that can do more than the sustainable level as you and just directly investing to crypto would lead some people to have their emotions. It is not about being pessimistic about the price, but it is all about one's wise decision in investing. You never want your car sold only to invest it all in crypto thinking that you'll just earn a lot within a week, like those 80x that people claim at social media which are lies lies lies.

It's never too late to buy, just don't commit it all to crypto especially Bitcoin, plus you're not even obliged to buy a whole coin.

I think you should just ask to be whitelisted for free with your alt account to any staff member to lift the PM limits as what was mentioned in here -
New PM limits. Just mention your reasons to be whitelisted.

For the 1 merit to alt account, well it is just 1 merit. I won't count it as a merit abuse as it is not like you're sending more than that, but it is best to say your intention through it through the Alts thread in Reputation, so that others will know.
It's frowned upon by the community though.

Kind of similar actually to my experience back in my day trading experience. I was really enthusiastic about getting into the other side of hodling which is trading. I learned this basic ways of how to day trade in Binance in Youtube through some Youtuber called cryptojack, pretty sure that the video is not available anymore for some reason but the channel was still intact.

So I bought these coins that was shown in the video, but turns out that I did not realize that I was purchasing shitcoins like you did and yo, I did the same too. I just quitted it and never did it again. Just went for long-term hodling. As it turns out, I need more time than that whole week to learn the basics of day trading and the first day was quite even stressful enough for me considering that I have a job off-crypto.

I manage to still learn some though. I was able to get a touch of some indicators like RSI and Bollinger Band as that was taught in the video.

I thought I was alone experiencing this kind of encounter as I taught I really messed up in my decision turns out I am good.

Just to correct the OP, Bitcoin is not literally the first cryptocurrency.
eCash was the first so-called "cryptocurrency" back in 1983, it was like still called "cryptographic system" back in those years but not cryptocurrency. It was then followed by DigiCash. The term "cryptocurrency" was just later used in 1998.

....or even the OP's whole community.

This post describes it pretty much in a single picture. lol. :p

Well sure, OP, but this is too obvious and I don't know the reasoning of someone just going straight up and download these kinds of files. This is even lower level than phishing.

Would you download a randomly named executable file when someone told you that you can generate Bitcoin with it?

There were some reports of false positives, and from that I wouldn't really rely on it as I am not even sure if they keep their virus database up-to-date.

I had a similar encounter as yours.
I reported these kinds of gigs. I almost forgot to update my reply in [here] due to Fiverr not sending email to those who reported the gig.
The gig was taken down already, though I am not sure when it was taken down.

---

This was the link of the gig taken down in case anyone is curious. [I will comment on your bitcointalk thread](Fiverr Link)
I would just encourage others to keep reporting these types of gigs. Fiverr didn't respond to my report immediately, but at least the gig was taken down. The site requires an account, before one can report though.

I don't see any problem, OP. Just take note of what NeuroticFish said. In cases that you have an encounter with evil fees like what libert19 mentioned above, go here : Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - email to get whitelisted for free. It should be unlikely for you, unless a scenario mentioned by Upgrade00 happened.

There are good reasons to have an alt account. You could use one primarily for discussion/s and the other one for business-related stuffs.

5 consecutive losses and it is losses by the way OP, not looses. I switched my strategy to long-term when I consecutively incur losses 5 times, buying and selling my preferred coins.
I just go and decided to "f it, all into Bitcoin" now. It was a newbie experience anyway, but I guess emotion came through me that time.

Yeah it feels like a normal thing in the way that those bans aren't even permanent anyway, though it depends to some countries. I recall last year when Russia even stopped it total ban in cryptocurrency. Cashless policy feels like still a meh, even though that could possibly lead to mass adoption of cryptos. There are still many people out there that are not used to modern technologies hindering these cashless transactions since most of the time it would involve those technologies we usually use today that is somehow seen now as "common thing".

Can't blame some of those Youtubers. It is not just those truck drivers actually. I had seen a lot of sudden burst of Family Vlogs happening for the same reason, I suppose. It just kind of concerning that they are risking their privacy just to earn quick back from monetization from Youtube.

In Facebook, I could also say the same. Even my colleagues just started launching their own Facebook Page dedicated to some random gaming livestream, though I am not fan of livestreaming that much.

I even recall some rare posters here in my country claiming that they can print T Shirts with some crypto logos. Just check first if there are any red flags from your government pertaining cryptocurrency for obvious reasons.
Good luck to your business though. I would love to see some sample T Shirt print when you're planning to continue your business.

It is your money, OP. I had sold my Ethereum after I traded back then and just decided to do what you are planning to do which is go all-in solely in BTC and never regretted it since. This isn't an investment advice, and it just came from my experience. It play out differently into your side.

Though if you're really asking for a feedback, maybe keep something for yourself unless those altcoins you dumped aren't really needed immediately.

It is just how some business run sadly. They need to destroy other stuffs out of their control through either FUDs or just simply throwing out random stupid arguments just to trigger a lot of people.
Too bad that they cannot even do single crap with their words from how decentralized Bitcoin is.
That is also the another point, they don't have the control to it that's why they go full retard.

Actually they do understand, and it just happened to be that it goes against them. Imagine that you're governing a lot of people and your people would use something that is under your radar/observation. Pretty much you would think that they are doing something against you.

The part that they don't understand is that people need the privacy in their own money, not to be regulated by someone that is at risk of being taken away from them.

Pretty sure you're looking for some businesses mentioned above. Adding up what was mentioned above, it won't be easy start since pretty much you have a lot of competitors here in the forum. Though I would ask, why focus here in the forum to solely earn? I understand there are businesses running in here, but pretty much you have plenty of opportunities off-forum as well.

I'll visit this tonight when I have nothing else to do.
I just check a little bit of the site in my mobile phone and was happy that it is somehow convenient to scroll down unlike other where I still need to zoom, though do you plan to still make a mobile app for that soon though?
