Facebook is full of trash spammer, especially last bull run 2017, lot of facebook groups that have spammers, not only on their referral links but also they are spreading some phishing links or malware such as bitcoin doubler software. I also remember before on our local facebook groups, that lot of people from our country victim of phishing site of our local exchange where you can convert your bitcoin to national currency directly.

Trading is measured on how long you gonna stay. I know a lof of people who started to trade and left trading because of the market, like in the bear season, they don't feel to trade or they keep losing. I believe that experience is the best thing to learn, even how tough trading is, you can still gain knowledge on it.

Babypips is very useful for every trader, even is more focus on forex but still, you can apply it in crypto. What I really admired on Babypips is their very detailed tutorial, easy to follow and it is really newbie friendly. Technical analysis is really important in trading, you really need to learn it.
You can also learn how to trade on this forum, on this section Trading Discussion.

As of today, we are still above $5,000 level. Bulls need to hold this $5,000 level, based on the chart, there's always a bounce on $5,000. Bears tried to go destroy the $5,000 support last few weeks. If BTC price will go down $5,000 below, it could dump harder. Range around $4,800 - $5,200 is not my trading zone, really much sideways on this area.

Some exchanges also are playing safe, it's not so easy to delist some coins, especially a coin with huge volume but shitcoin. Exchange will lose something if they delist shitcoins, they will not earn money anymore, a lot of people are trading on their exchanges because of those coins. By those shitcoins, the exchange itself also earning money from traders.

I started trading around the year 2017 - 2018. My first experience in trading was really worst, I always lose.  Most of my trades are FOMO, before entering my trades before I don't have a plan, like when to exit. After that, I learn first on the technical side, studying the chart, different tools for a chart, like some indicators or momentum indicators.

Put only the amount that not is too much for you or the amount you afford. Trading is very risky, there's no 100% guarantee that you can earn in trading, expect the loss or bankruptcy. First time I trade, I deposit around $50 only worth of BTC. $50 before is the amount I can afford.

It really depends on us if we do the KYC things. But you can still use cryptocurrencies without the KYC, that's the beauty of cryptocurrencies. There is some entity that uses KYC, such as the different country that has regulation on cryptocurrencies, but there are still many ways on how to do it, use cryptocurrencies without KYC. KYC is really different on purpose of crypto.

I just added on #6 the one of the dangerous move by the hackers by contacting you through email and using some look-a-like link, so that you can enter your information on such particular website. Please be aware, I already a victim of this with before, especially some cryptocurrencies exchange.

I invest in pre-sales. I research first their whitepaper, research their goal or roadmap. Do they use protocols that people or other services can benefits?
There are a lot of new projects conducting their own ICO without goals or plans. Team or developer also important, like if their project is open-source and you can see how the project developed if it is updated and you can see how they are committed to the project by updating the community of what is going on the project.

Sana maidagdag din ang Beginners and Help second sa Market Place. Why?

Halos ibang nakikita ko na thread na about sa Beginners and Help ay masyadong complex kumbaga or ang iba naman ay mga term na mahirap intindihin, lalo na pag non-techy ka, mahihirapan ka sa pag intindi sa mga ito. But, mas lalo ito maiintindihan ng mga kababayan natin pag na explain ng maigi lalo na pag na explain sa gamit ang sarili nating linggwahe.

Tingin ko din, pag may Beginners and Help na section sa atin, mas less siguro ang spammers magpupunta dito, kasi for sure, hahanap sila ng thread na madali lang nila magagawan ng random posts or offtopic na posts para lang counted as post sa kanilang bounty. At tsaka siguro pag mga bounty hunters, siguro di na yan sila magbabasa ng mga beginners guide or help, malamang doon na yan naka tambay sa mga Bounties Section (nag aabang ng bagong bounties)

Still much safer to use offline password generator, like KeePass.
There's still some pros and cons for storing our password online or offline. Yes, it's okay to use paper to keep them safe. Even in storing our private keys in different crypto-currencies wallets, they are suggesting it write in paper and never store it online.
Yes, you can also use this. It could help you to easily memorize the password, as long as you know the bible verse.

Yes. Since sa Coins Pro makakapag deposit ka lang dito gamit ang Coins.Ph (as of now), so walang FEE.
Siguro ang ibig mong sabihin ay halimbawa galing sa ibang wallet or exchange ang crypto-currencies mo then i didiretso mo siya sa Coins Pro?
Sa ngayon, di pa pwede yan (no idea if gagawin yan nila in the future). Kailangan mo talaga idaan ito sa Coins.ph account mo, so magkakaroon ka ng transaction fee para ma process ang iyong transaction, labas na dito si Coins.ph.

There will be a fee for converting your crypto-currencies to PHP or vice versa, since gagawa ka ng order dito sa side na ng Coins Pro. Kagaya lang ito sa ibang exchanges na kada trade mo may fee, every successful buy order/sell orders. Yung fee na makikita mo sa image, yan ba yung ibig mo sabihin ? Yan na ung successful sell order na nagawa mo sa Coins Pro.



Nagtataka ka bakit mas ok mag convert ng BTC to PHP sa Coins Pro. Dahil ito sa spread, malayo kasi ang spread sa coins.ph
spread = sell - buy


Coins.ph Buy and Sell


Coins Pro Buy and Sell
Green = Buy , Red = Sell

Halimbawa may 0.001 BTC ka na gusto mo e convert sa PHP.
Pag sa coins.ph mo ito e coconvert:
P262,437 * 0.001btc = P262.437

Pag sa Coins Pro mo ito e coconvert:
P267,250 * 0.001btc = P267.25

See the difference?

Pa bago bago ang buy/sell price nito sa Coins.ph at Coins Pro.
Since tao ang nag gumagawa ng mga orders sa Coins Pro, mapapansin mo ito na may ibang price jan na masyadong mababa lang ang pwede mong bilhin na bitcoin sa price na iyan, or pwedeng ebentang bitcoin sa price na iyan.

You need risk management, set a particular amount in your every trade. Get the total balance of your account, then you can set for every trades, 5% of your total balance is the minimum then 10% of your total balance is the maximum for every trades. With that kind of risk management, you can prevent a huge loss for every trade.

Remember that trading is not about getting high profits in just a short period of time, it's about how you long will you stay in trading with profits. Yes, you can earn huge profits in just one trade, but if you lose or get liquidated it's a much higher loss.

Naka depende din kasi ito sa mga presyo na nasa Coins Pro, dahil tao din yung mga nag se set ng mga Buy Orders and Sell Orders sa Coins Pro. Di natin masisisi si Coins dito.
I think, nag te take advantage din sila dito, dahil pag ikaw ililipat mo pa ito sa exchange, another efforts pa sa iyo yun. Pero pag diretso mo na e convert ung BITCOIN mo to PHP sa coins.ph pa lang, edi instant na yun to PHP.

Yes! There are no fees sending PHP between Coins.ph and Coins Pro. There will be only fees on the side of Coins Pro when you are doing trades.

Sa akin wala naman problema pag submit ko. Much better if you will contact their customer support. Active naman din ang coins pag dating jan, just state your problem properly.

Gusto ko lang din e share itong isang thread tungkol sa pag sign ng message How to sign a message?!. Very detailed at newbie friendly ang mga tutorial na nanjan. May index dito ng mga ibat-ibang bitcoin wallet na pwede gamitin pang sign ng message.
Hindi lang ito pang mobile phones, pwede din ito sa mga desktop computer natin. May list rin dito ng mga wallet na di pwede ka pwede mag sign ng message.

It's difficult to this, because what if your promoter will say he/she also have promoter? This can be a long process, because what if your promoter also a victim by another promoter?
What I saw in Bitconnect is something like MLM, you have your network and their commission is quite huge, you make a lot of downlines, you can make a lot of money also. I remember when I was a newbie in crypto before when I started on something HYIP, since I am a newbie, I don't have money to invest in, what I do is I invite people, so my commission per invite will be used to invest on the platform.

For me, I'll go with Swing trading because I have a real life job which is time-consuming. On what I understand about scalp trading is you need to watch carefully the chart, most of the time frames you will use is the shorts time frames, like in minutes or hourly, why? So that you can easily find an entry and exit in a short period of time, that will not suit to me since I have my real full-time job.
While scalp trading is don't need too much time, you are more watching on large time frames like daily or weekly. This is for me since I can't monitor the chart from time to time.
This is also one of my reason why I don't scalp trades, cryptocurrencies are very volatile. You can see sometimes a very long green/red wick on the chart which you can lose or earn profit sometimes, this is much worst for some traders that use a leveraged exchange, they can easily get liquidated by the volatility.

Thanks for this, I added this on the OP, before the Avast random password generator since I found this KeePass is much safe since you can generate password offline and it is open-source.

Done creating a simple guide on how to use a password manager, I used the KeePass since OmegaStarScream also found this much safer than Avast.

Oh, Thanks for noticing this thread, no worries, I will also add this on the OP.

Exactly. The more characters on your password will be more secure and make your password stronger.

This rule B is risky if some hacker is the only target is you, they can use some of your personal info to bruteforce your passwords, and yes dictionary attacks for this is really aren't effective.

But this still safety for some scenarios? Like for example, you are on the public and then you type this password and someone is watching you then they can read what you are typing in the keyboard as they can read on what you are typing in the keyboard.

For every website that we are using especially those required a password, mostly are our email, crypto exchanges, forum accounts, social media accounts, etc. are requiring to make our password strong and secure. Did you follow them? or did you create a password that is too short? Common passwords? Well, that is bad practice. By using a strong password, it will help our accounts more secure against hacker over the internet.

We need to know first some example passwords that aren't advisable or very common one.

A. All of these passwords are very common and you should not use it!

• 123456
• abcdefg
• abc12345
• password
• password123
• More common passwords.

B. Never use passwords that include your personal information such as:

• Name
• Date of birth
• Place of birth
• Your address

Reason because why you should not ever include some of your personal information on your password because it will be an advantage on the hacker if he/she know some of your personal info, he/she can easily guess your password by using them.

C. Never use common Substitutions:
Examples:

• D0gH0us3
• W33kdays
• IL0v3D0gs

Using of these kinds of password is really obvious, like D0gs , you just replaced the o with a 0. It can easy to brute force attack, just by replacing some common characters with some numbers or letters.

Creating your strong passwords
Since we already know what kinds of password that shouldn't be used, we can now proceed now on creating a strong and secure password.

• Make sure your password is long,
  mix of  capital/small A-Z alphabets,
  0-9 numbers,
  special characters such as &^$#
  Like S5#A$B1dpqzM^UMk , but this is very hard to memorize.
  How to memorize these kinds of password? :
   
  
• The sentence method:
  This idea of this method is you will create a password from a random sentence or any sentence created by you.
  Example:
  You will take every first 2 characters on each word from the sentence "I Was Born At 2:35pm In The Country Of Germany"
  Result:  IWaBoAt2:InThCoOfGe
  
  
• Using Passphrase
  Passphrase is consist of multiple words, the randomness of every word for creating a passphrase makes it strong.
  Example:
  "Dog in the dark" -  Word make sense and it is grammatically ordered.
  "hulk touch adjourn omega" - Don't make sense phrase, not in grammatically order.
  You can use this password by capitalized every second character of every word, adding a special character between the words.
  Like hUlk&tOuch$aDjourn@oMega -
  You can use the Sentence Method here, for example, taking every first two characters of every word, capitalized every 2nd character of the word and adding random special characters.
  "hUlk tOuch aDjourn oMega".
  Result :  hU#tO!aD*oM$
  
  
• Using random password generator,
  
  Quote from: whotookmycrypto on April 16, 2019, 07:40:58 AM
  Also, wouldn't feel comfortable using an online tool like Avast to generate passwords. Much more comfortable using an offline tool to generate passwords like a password manager eg. https://keepass.info/ With KeyPass, you can generate strong passwords in 2 simple steps.
  
  Step 1: Select dropdown box
  Step 2: Select the strength required of your password
  Note: You can also customize what characters are allowed / disallowed in your passwords when they are generated which is handy.
  
  
  
  Lastly, using password managers also solves the problem you mentioned of passwords being "hard to memorize".
  
  
  REMOVED the Avast Random Password Generator, since I found that the offline and open-sourced one is much safer.
  
  
• Password Manager
  Using a password manager will help us to ogranize our different password on different website. I will suggest to use https://keepass.info/, this is open-source project and free.
  
  Steps on how to use KeePass password manager:
  1st, Download and install the KeePass, you can use the portable version or the installer.
  2nd, Once the installation is done, you will be asked for the master password and the location path for the KeePass KDBX File (.kdbx) where you can use that as your backup.
  3rd, Fill up the fields.
  
  You can just easily copy/paste your password in different entry you made, by just double-clicking it on password field. Password will paste on your clipboard and will automatically delete after 12 seconds.
  *Make sure you save your database of KeePass safe and remember your master password on the database*
  Thanks whotookmycrypto and OmegaStarScream for this.
  
  Android Version:
  KeePassDroid
  I just found an android version for password manager/password generator which is also open-source and you can use it offline.
  The good thing here you can import your database file from your KeePass in windows. They are almost the same.
  
  Read/write support for .kdb and KeePass 1.x.
  Read/write support for .kdbx and KeePass 2.x.

TIPS

• Do not share your passwords to anyone.
  Be careful who you trust, never share your password.
  
• Use a different password for every account you have.
  Just like on different crypto exchanges, don't use only one password for every exchange you have.
  
• Always create long passwords.
  The most recommends password contains a minimum of 8 characters  or 12 characters
  
• Never upload your passwords to the cloud.
  Avoid storing your passwords online, like storing it on some file hosting services.
  
• Always use two-factor authentication(2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA).
  This will help your account more secure, since before you can log-in on a particular website.
  
• Be careful on Phishing websites.
  Even how strong your password is, once you fall in phishing website, it's useless.
