I was introduced to cryptocurrencies by a friend and I liked bitcoin. It is the safest, steongest and can not be susceptible to 51% attack because of the high hash rates generated by the miners. I downloaded electrum wallet and very helpful for me.

There was a time I was just scammed when I bought a shit coin, over 90% of the investment capital were gone and I noticed that the lesser a coin is ranked the high its volatility. So, I liked bitcoin more for this because it is not volatile like other coins but that does not mean it is not volatile at all.

I later know about crypto scam and how to avoid it and here I am today. I do not have the mentality that cryptocurrencies are scam again when I know about it very well.

There are still many ways to scam but all are included here on this thread, nice one. The very one I was scammed with was when I bought a shit coin that made me lose 90% of the initial capital. This type of shit coins are common on exchanges that are not well regulated.

The site is legit but if used can lead to loss of the coin you used to trade, they make use of robots to trade for you and you can trade yourself. But I am very sure that the way they posed themselves will want people to use them to trade with the help of their boys and I am sure that if someone knows nothing about trading, he will lose coins to this site.

That is why I prefer the ledger nano products, although I prefer two, he ledger nano x and s. Trezor is good too but I have read about some people saying cloning trezor is more common than cloning ledger nano.

This is great but my focus is more on how bitcoin will increase price before the halving. I expect whales and investors to have started buying bitcoin now.

This is right, especially in the Trezor Model T. I have read a lot of articles that depicted the hardware not really secure like the ledger nano x. The cost is too much, about $160, unlike the ledger nano x that is $116 that I can easily use with my mobile phones using bluetooth. It makes hardware wallet simple to use like mobile wallet and support many cryptocurrencies.

You are right about exchanges, new exchanges are not worth it to trade, olds ones like binance and coknbase are the best. But, that aside, it is also should be known that exchanges are vulnerable to hack than wallets, so, the amount that should be there shiuld not exceed certain little amount.

I can say Satoshi can not be just only one person, he created bitcoin in a way that it will be limited, scare and reducing in supply. These are what keeps bitcoin growing. Otherwise, bitcoin will be nothing.

I like this great article, it is really helpful and informative. But about the wallet, I will advise people to only use non-custoduan wallet like trezor, ledger nano, keepkey, electrum, exodus, mycelium and conomi. There are other trust worthy non-custodian wallets. You have your private key and seed phrase. They are the best.

I was introduced to bitcoin by a scammer. I was using my Facebook messenger one day and I saw a message from unknown person. He posed like a female and we chatted. She asked me to send her money the second day of chatting and I knew she was a scammer. She told me to send her google gift card later or send her bitcoin to an anonumous address when I do not send the money, nut still, I did not. But, during the time, I found out about bitcoin. I love bitcoin and a week after, I found out about bitcointalk on google too. I later joined the forum lately and I have gained knowledge from bitcointalk forum.

The link you sent was educative but I am still new to this forum. Secondly, newbies are not allowed to post diagrams and this is a restriction. It would have been better to post diagrams and add links to the pictures you post.

Bitcoin forks are changes in a set of rules or protocols in bitcoin blockchain. Originally, bitcoin was created and has the main blockchain but due to certain reasons another blockchain was created. Example of the blockchain created was the bitcoin cash blochain and this led to the creation of bitcoin cash. What cause the creation of bitcoin cash was the argument that occurred to increase bitcoin block size so that transactions can be fast. But later, they came to the conclusion of creating another another cryptocurrency in which transactions speed will be increased.

Forks of bitcoin that led to the generation of bitcoin-like cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin cash blockchain is the example of the hard fork, in which another cryptocurrency is created to improve scalabily. It was the first most successful bitcoin fork.

Fork of forks
Example of those category is bitcoin sv and bitcoin abc. They were actually created from bitcoin cash. That is why they are regardless as for of forks.

Forks from bitcoin that led to generation of another cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin have many other forks which I am not talking about today. Example is the litecoin. It is forked from bitcoin, this is another type of fork that lead to the generation of another cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin coin, this is another type of crypto fork. There are more examples, doge and zCash are a good typical example of cryptocurrencies that was forked from bitcoin blockchain directly.

Why bitcoin hard forks
With bitcoin hard fork, a new protocol or rule is generated. In the past, bitcoin users and investors were increasing even up till to day, the transactions time decreased significantly, in a way that many transactions were trapped in bitcoin mempool. So, this created arguments amoung bitcoin community. Some want the block size to increase which will lead to increase transaction time and reduce mining fee. So mimers can not agree, even this is the way that can solve the scalability issue. So, this lead to the generation of another blockchain which lead to the generation of another cryptocurrencies.]Forks of bitcoin that led to the generation of bitcoin-like cryptocurrencies.
