As an investor, I try to make profit as much as possible since altcoin is risky investment compare with stock exchange.

It's too long to wait ? Can't resist if the profit in front of the eye ?
That's the temptation when try to trade altcoin eventhough  you're not have any knowledge on that token

You can trust bitcoin but not 100%

Have you ever heard that Japanese exchange got hacked ?
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/27/hacked-japanese-cryptocurrency-exchange-to-repay-owners-425-million.html

Although bitcoin is secure but the hacker is more clever since bitcoin security is being created by human and only human itself able to hack the system.
Sounds logic , right ?

For what I can see that most people here are looking for bounty especially Newbie ~ full member.
And as my experience , their post quality mostly do not deserve any merit and most merit will be distribute between higher rank member or old member that still exist and contribute.

~Only the time will answer

With many ICO occur recently, you must be selective as not all ICO will pay or keep exist as far as my experience can tell.
This is crypto world , full of anonymity so you can ask your local experienced bitcoin trader if you need suggestion whenever this ICO is good to follow or not !

No gambling no worries for me !

Gambling is just for fun purpose. My first time gambling experience when I play on primedice and try to deposit real money. When I hit 0.1 profit, I decide to stop gamble ! Although my greed always tell me to gamble again and again, finally I can control my own greed

Of course with this contribution, bitcoin value will increase significantly if my government also support hospital and clinic.
It's really amazing if all people around the world also accept bitcoin so the value will keep increase from time to time

~ Public Service accept bitcoin is my dream

Although investing ICO seems very risky but if you're choosing the correct ICO, you will earn profit more than your monthly salary.
Usually I'm observing the ICO ,first than follow their sosmed to update their progress so you can figure it out whenever the project is end for scam or as bright as a star in the sky !

Before the ban issue, my people already skeptic about bitcoin since my government decide to forbid bitcoin usage.
Of course not all of my people are afraid but when they heard about ban issue, it affect my local exchange value quite much as panic sell usually happen

Of course it does.
Let's take a look, when you operate bitcoin miner, you need electricity. Electricity being create by fossil and the amount is limited.
I won't be surprise if one day, fossil start getting rare and people will start to think the alternate way to find new source for electricity !

Everyone on this forum ever experience  the same as your current situation, either do me.

What am I doing when I was noob ?
I try to google anything about bitcoin and how to earn it. Yes , there are many way but when I access bitcointalk, it offer many bounty that we can follow.
Once I done the task, I got paid with their token.

~Learning by process , that's it !

IMO, he just enroll on some bounty and get paid after ICO has done and looking another bounty, keep repeat this cycle !
And when their ICO already reach market / exchange, he can start sell for profit !
If you lucky enough, you can earn more than you can earn with your real life job !

If you ask me about my people that using bitcoin still less than 3%

Why ?
Because my government still strict bitcoin usage but I can still use it without worried being jail.

I hope that my government can re-evaluate about bitcoin since it's fit for digital transaction

When there is a sign of bitcoin crash/downtrend, I'm usually start make sell order and buy cheap in the future. Just repeat the cycle !

Or you can do arbit on two exchange that have quite different gap on their value, so you can make profit from it if let say exchange A has lower value than exchange B, you can  buy on exchange A and sell to the exchange B.

No one able predict their future but they can pointing where you want to go.
At the first glance, I'm not interest bitcoin at all but for somehow,  I keep looking about bitcoin detail until it's been proven right now , profit 1000% in 3 years.

Who would expect that happen ? No one but I believe for something unexpected !

And the gambling industry will always exist especially when bitcoin exist, it makes another chance for new industry grow.

Of course gambler will keep gambling although they already aware the risk and that's become the advantage for who want to build new gambling site !

This is what I recommend to my friend, Invest and hold as long as possible.
I'm also explain why bitcoin can't be trade in short term because it's too risky , the value purely unpredictable.

As for now , I keep purchase bitcoin as long as I can afford and keep hold to maximize my profit

IMO, bitcoin is really good for long term investment so holding will be great option. ( Invest )
Meanwhile if you want to trade in short term, it's kinda risky for me because bitcoin value still volatile until now.
Overall just take a look on bitcoin chart over past 6 years and you will see bitcoin always increase although some people still afraid of bitcoin

It's just mining become more difficult and less efficient so it's impossible to happen if mining activity will stop in the future.
If we see current market, mining activity become more fierce that means  cryptocurrency still on high demand for all people around the world

Depend on your government policy.

Luckily my government still not legalize bitcoin yet so I can still earn bitcoin without paying any tax.
For who already legalized by government, there is no other way since when people not paying the bitcoin tax, they are against the law.

It's fair, IMO

Let say if I've 1000 smerit and I'm refuse to spend them until the end of season/month.
Will I got another 1000 smerit for new season/month ?


Well it's seems that merit abuse business already start.


Not all poster as good as Lutpin's , that's why it's difficult for them especially when english is not their mother language
