According to eToro's site, there's some sort of system that they call 'Popular Investor' (click for direct link on eToro's site to this) where it's possible to get paid a fixed amount per copy from other people once you meet the various requirements that are also listed on the page I just linked. Seems potentially pretty lucrative considering you can get one-time payments on top of a per-copy payment for reaching various levels determined by your total equity, time in a previous level and how many people are copying you, though I have no idea how the rates are per copy.

I like to read about trading often, but it's not necessarily from books but more often from places like Medium or other similar platforms, and I like watching YouTube videos from several crypto-oriented YouTubers as well, though one of the Medium authors that I read pretty often is CryptoCred (click for link), who mostly focuses on Bitcoin, some starting points for beginning and more advanced trader and also has several decent articles on leveraged trading as well.

I also agree that much of the material you need is available free-of-charge online. You don't need to go around paying money for special videos or materials, and often times you can find that same information elsewhere online, perhaps in a different format of explanation.

Seems like a potential pump and dump to me as well; seems like the price was being propped up and eventually the rug was pulled which caused a large number of stop orders to trigger and people to sell, though from one of the tweets I've seen with a price chart detailing the price action, it seems like the token's returned nearly to its price before it started rising. Could've ended up worse, though considering pumps and dumps on lower-cap coins is pretty common, I'm not surprised things like this are happening.

History does not always repeat itself, and even though I like to be optimistic, the reality is that most of the coins out today aren't going to rise much in the future or even just vanish from the dev team deserting the coin or just more general issues that lead to the coin price severely dropping. If you've got a bit of money that you can afford to set aside for an extended period of time, though, go ahead. Not much different from a lottery ticket, but it takes longer to see the results, and an easy way to make the great volatility associated with cryptocurrencies work potentially in your favor.

While I like to get good rates for trading and buying and selling coins just like anyone else on this planet that's trading Bitcoin, I mostly stick to a few exchanges that I have accounts at as a lot of exchanges that show exchanges that are greater than normal or too good to be true are often not legit or there's some strings attached that makes it hard to withdraw or perhaps something fee-related. I've tried arbitraging in the past, but it's something mostly dominated by bots now and I found it to not be worth my time.

People are just less willing to invest into cryptocurrencies as a whole due to current market conditions, let alone altcoins which are generally more risky than investing in a larger coin like Bitcoin. That's certainly contributing to Bitcoin's rising dominance as money's starting to flow out of alts and back into Bitcoin again. Just seems like there's been less interest from buyers in altcoins over the last few months in general as well, considering BTC dominance was rising even before its USD price started shooting up towards $13k.

I'm pretty sure that PayPal also allows you to send money from these prepaid credit cards to another account where it's then stored on the other account on its PayPal balance, so if you've got multiple PayPal accounts then it may be possible to send the funds from one account to the other and get the funds out that way, though I'm not entirely sure if this is breaking the PayPal terms of service or not.

A more complex route that would probably see you losing some money in the process would be to just buy something with the funds and sell what you buy.

Most altcoins and especially newer ones likely never taking off in the future is a big reason why my personal crypto portfolio's mostly dominated by Bitcoin and the other major alts I've picked like Ethereum. While I understand some peoples' plans of investing in tons of coins in the hopes that one might take off in the future, it's indeed rather risky and you might be stuck holding those coins for a while as the current crypto markets just don't look too great at all. A ton of coins that seem genuinely good for investment never take off too. It's pretty hard to pull off a good and profitable early investment.

I probably wouldn't gamble if it weren't for the fact that I often have so much free time to myself. It's not very high up on my list of priorities and I typically go to do other things like work in my garden or other things before I go gamble online, but even though one of my primary goals with gambling is to get a win, another one is also just to pass the time too. It's a very engaging and fun activity and doesn't eat a huge chunk out of your wallet if you're not irresponsible with your spending.

Even lower fees might not be enough to start up a decently-sized userbase or grow as a new exchange, and it seems like for now people in the United States are satisfied with the big players like Coinbase that already exist perhaps because of reputability. Pretty unfortunate because it's always great to have multiple options and I'm not a big fan of Kraken especially for the many problems that you can have trading with leverage on it, but things certainly don't seem like they're panning out well for new US-oriented exchanges besides maybe Binance US.

I also view the bear market as having a large effect on alts not doing too well recently. Alts were rallying mostly ahead of Bitcoin's peak in the upper $13Ks and have mostly been declining since, though the fundamentals of most coins still haven't changed very much in the time from when that all happened.

I don't know if 2020's going to be the year when the crypto markets in general start to take off again, but I do know that volatility's very real with crypto and we could be in a long ride either up or down next year. I'm still accumulating accordingly to prepare for either case.

I'm also pretty sure they've detected more than one account being used on your network or other similarities with perhaps the email or something else that's causing the account to be flagged and thus limited. The problem might also just be linked to how the account sellers are creating the accounts, though these issues also wouldn't arise if you weren't actively trying to break their terms of service in the first place. The support of the website's not going to tell you the exact reason why your accounts were limited so the sellers and users can't narrow down the issue and circumvent it again.

People have been saying 'X is over' for so many things online (especially with online money-making opportunities) that I've since lost count long ago. While I agree most bounty campaigns have gone down in compensation and sometimes even quality over the last many months and even year, there's still money to be made from bounties if you're willing to put the work into it and you're willing to set your mind to it. People are generally unwilling to share how they earn money and end up in good positions, but putting in work is definitely one of the biggest factors.

If I'm looking for something to kick back to that doesn't take a lot of energy or thinking when I'm tired, simple games like dice or crash typically do the trick, whereas if I feel more up to a challenge I will typically do some analysis and do some esports-related gambling, mostly CS:GO gambling. I don't play the actual esports games like CS:GO as much as I used to do, but it's always fun to see what new tricks and strategies people come up with over time as metas change and players switch teams and all.

Binance allows you to trade BTC to USDT for a relatively low fee, the site's rather reputable, and you don't need to submit verification in the form of KYC if you're withdrawing less than 2BTC daily, which is a more than adequate limit for most people.

There's also plenty of sites where you can 'swap' or 'shift' one coin into another with higher fees and sometimes mandatory verification out there that are also significantly less reputable than using an exchange like Binance as well. I'm not a fan of those sites primarily because of the reasons I mentioned, though if you need to change BTC into USDT quickly they are an option.

I absolutely agree with this. I was going to suggest simply keeping your coins in a medium that's harder to access such as a paper wallet or a hardware wallet so you'll need to take more steps to get to where your funds are, but if you've got a somewhat serious problem, you'll probably find the inconvenience of using either of these forms of coin storage to be small compared to the enjoyment you get from gambling. I also don't like keeping funds on third-party platforms no matter how secure they might be, so using your willpower or strengthening it to the point that you can begin to rely on it is the ideal solution.

Talking to others is very underrated today. You can only keep things pent up for so long before they come out one way or another, and friends and family can often provide great advice or even just support through any problems you might have. People especially close to you absolutely do care at least to some degree about what's happening to you personally, so find some way to do so.

A lot of people just take their chances with altcoin investments and hope that they happen to strike gold eventually. It's been a pretty popular way of investing (gambling) in altcoins for quite some time since around the time of the big 2017 bullrun where alts were shooting sky-high all around and even since then, when things have gotten a bit more quiet.

As for the devs, many devs really don't care about the long-term success of their project or overall product and just milk the money while it's early and leave later. There are also others still who genuinely believe they can still make a viable product even though market conditions aren't that great overall.

Holding's a great time-proven strategy you could try if trading's not your thing. A lot of people around these parts and in the crypto community in general seem to dislike holding because of how long it might take to earn money from it compared to actively trading and managing trades, but if done right, holding's an easy, lower-risk and relatively hands-off way to make a decent profit over time compared to trading. I'm not a big fan of holding altcoins over extended periods of time because they tend to go up and right back down in terms of popularity very often, but Bitcoin's been decent for holding so far. Great way to make crypto's huge volatility work in your favor.

One of the most important things you could possibly do as a new trader is to only put a small amount of your money into trading initially. It's unrealistic to expect to be extremely good at trading right from the beginning, and it's possible you won't be very profitable for a while. Take things slowly at first but keep reading and learning whenever you can and apply the knowledge you've gained when you're trading, and never, EVER risk more than you can afford to lose even if you're on a great winning streak. Don't let your emotions control your trading.

I absolutely agree with this; hacks are possible on almost any exchange platform even with the most well-engineered security protocols especially with hacks where people on the inside are somehow compromised, and a great solution for both the exchange's reputability and customer trust is to ensure there's a simple and direct way for customers to retrieve stolen funds.

Even with bug bounties present, it's still possible that some hackers pass up on whatever a bug bounty happens to be and go for the bigger and riskier target of a primary cold wallet or something of the sort, though I imagine most hackers will just cash in on the bug bounty. It's still a good idea to have some sort of a bug bounty reserved nevertheless IMO, as any sort of deterrent to hacking is good.
