You should do another one with the bad pitches.

coinbase pro will allow you to trade without any fees if you are a market maker which means you buy below the current price or sell above the current price.
43  Other / Beginners & Help / The most important thing all newbies NEED to know.. 2FA on: August 06, 2018, 04:30:31 AM
What is 2FA and why is it so important?

2FA means two factor authentication. Think of it as a second way to make sure that you are the one accessing your crypto not someone who shouldn't. I personally have never heard of someone getting hacked and losing their crypto while having 2FA. Most wallets and exchanges have a 2FA feature. If you have more than you care to lose on there or you plan to store it for a length of time, you should turn on 2FA. BUT something you must do is back up your 2FAs back up code or key. The problem that can arise is in order access your crypto, you'll need your phone. That's so a hacker somewhere else in the world can't take it even if they have your passwords because they would also need access to your phone. BUT if you lose your phone and you have no backup key, you lose your crypto. Except with exchanges, they can work with you but really you shouldn't store your crypto on exchanges either.

Can anyone clarify what this term means? I was wondering if it should really be spelt as "HOLD" or the meaning of "HODL" is really crypto-related. I already tried searching threads that explain this but was unsuccessful. I was very curious since I began reading discussions in bitcointalk and I usually see this term but I just understand it to mean 'hold' which means don't sell yet your coins. Please correct my misunderstanding if any. Thanks for your time.
Give me a break. You know what it means and you also know that all you have to do is put the term in a search engine and have your answer immediately.

My 74 yo friend suggested that one. You could argue that if he stole all the coins, he couldn't sell them. No one would buy coins he could just steal. The logic is self-defeating.

I've been an onlooker on this forum for a while now, even before I was a member I would look on here to learn...

I keep seeing people asking the same questions and I admire the patience of members who always look to help people out even if it is the 50th time of answering.

So if your new the best thing you can do is learn learn learn before you invest.

I know so many people who have been burnt in this world through investing blindly, trusting people and just being negligent looking for that quick buck.

So I am going to list 5 things you should do before making any investment:

- Learn how to research a coin to enable you to buy at the correct moment owning your decision making it the correct decision.
- ***Never put your Crypto into any platform that overs an ROI in interest such as Bitconnect, USI-Tech, and Mize etc.***
- Learn about Security of your Crypto. Such as cold wallets, encryptions and off device storage of keys and backup phases.
- Learn the basics of trading. Buy low and Sell high. Or even Sell high rebuy low by using moving averages to enable you to react on what is happening right now.
- Learn how to adapt to enable you to keep your profits and your losses low. Hodling never works in a bear market so be aware of what market trend we are on.

Cryptocurrency is still in its early phase, many more people will come into this world after you, ensure you learn now so you don't have to in the future. Please be aware of the speed of this industry, it is super fast and can change overnight.

*** More a rule than a learning point...
Good reminder for new people.

Proof of work (pow) requires allot of power to mine. Proof of stake (pos) does not require mining so it's way better on the environment.

Yes BUT if your individual account gets hacked, you're on your own. So if you don't have 2fa then you are stupid. Sorry but better you hear it now than lose it all.

"The Security Exchange Commission (SEC)in the United States went a step further by defining tokens as securities because they represent value."

so I just did some research on this topic and I would like to point out where you may be wrong. This is not legal or fiancial advice. Here is a page quoting the SEC.

https://www.coindesk.com/sec-official-ether-is-not-a-security/

Note the statement: "While a token in and of itself may not be a security, the purchaser's expectation during a sale will determine its classification, he said. If a purchaser has a reasonable expectation of profit based on the seller's actions, the token is likely a security."

Also "To conclude, the main difference between coins and tokens is, the former is a method of trade whilst the latter is a representation of an asset or any form of value."

So a gift card, or a cashier's check is a security?
52  Other / Beginners & Help / Where should I look for an affordable web designer? on: July 13, 2018, 04:59:48 AM
I'm building a site and I'm starting with an HTML template from themeforest to save on production costs. I know basic web design but looking for someone savvy in design and hopefully block chain related development. Does anyone have a suggested website or even person that can help me build my platform on a budget? Could be from India where the dollar goes further. Ideas? Thanks!
