then you can not call it a "coin ranking", you must instead call it "market analysis" and "my opinion of good investments". because that is what you are doing, you are releasing a biased opinion towards what is good to invest and what is not.

for example i completely disagree with this method. an alcoin that has fallen is NOT a "good deal" and should not be green. the drop in 99% cases indicates the pump was done and they were dumping the altcoin which also means the next pump will not come for many months if not more.
on the contrary when a coin is rising in most cases it indicates a pump going on and joining in can be more profitable.

anything market or price related i get from the market itself meaning i go on the exchange that i am using and look at the charts. sites like coinmarketcap and other that were listed are not useful for that at all. i only use them if i want to find out where some altcoin is listed so that i can dump it there.

as for news, i think coindesk is the only place worth visiting. the rest are clickbaits with low quality stuff. and i rarely visit news sites anyways, anything worth reading is usually posted on this forum!

since you have listed youtube i have to mention that i always advise staying away from them. specially if they are doing price analysis stuff. they are always wrong and misleading you.

one thing missing is the "technical stuff" which is an important part of "informing yourself" in this world. for that the best place is bitcoin wiki found at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki and developers guide on bitcoin.org

your easiest option is to use some block explorers that already list the information you are looking for. blockchain.com and blockchair.com are two of them that have lots of these things. for example if you look in blockchain.com's charts you find a lot of options.
there is also https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/ which shows memory pool
and https://statoshi.info/ which has a lot of charts.
https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-hashrate.html has interesting hashrate charts

for that you'll have to do what they did. run a full node, download the whole blockchain, have high connection count and analyze all the data that you receive.

it wasn't a sudden drop to $10k and below it took a lot of time and a lot of dumping to get there.
as for buying it will come down to your strategy with bitcoin. if you plan on day trading then with a higher risk right now anything below $10k and closer to $9k is a good place to place buy orders and anything above $10k is a good place to sell since for the time being we are only seeing sideways action. you also have to accept the risks that come with this strategy.
if you are an investor (longer term) then anything around $10k with + or - $1000 is a good entry point since we are in an accumulation phase.

today's price was $1050 ish by the way.

step 1: choose your favorite wallet
step 2: does your favorite wallet allow importing or sweeping private keys? if not go back to step 1
step 3: decide whether you want to spend all the balance in your paper wallet or only part of it. if all, then skip step 4.
step 4: create a new paper wallet in a safe way (airgap computer, verifying signatures,...)
step 5: import or better yet sweep the key from your paper wallet in your favorite wallet chosen in step 1, set two recipient one is the amount you want to send to Coinbase and the other is the change (remaining funds) and send that to the paper wallet you created in step 4. set the appropriate fee.
step 6: wait for it to confirm and you are done.

well that is the basis of any asymmetric cryptography scheme working with public keys. that is what the whole idea of "web of trust" comes from. you first have to communicate the public key in some way before you could open up a secure way for future communications.

well, i've already mentioned the problem in the last part but let me expand on it more.
the first time i heard about Brave browser in 2016 it was before it was even released. this browser was introduced as a way you could use bitcoin to both make payments to websites and get paid by them, first one to support them to run ad free and the second to see ads and earn money.

basically it focuses on 3 things:
- the privacy part (like Firefox, and since the dev is Mozilla co-founder which is also why i though the code is the same)
- ad blocking part (like popular ad-ons for Firefox,... like uBlock)
- the bitcoin (and then other cryptocurrency and then the BAT thing in 2018) integration part
people are already using the first 2 in other browsers, so the only reason why they choose Brave is the third option and if they enforece KYC on that then in my view they are practically enforcing it on all their users.

i just found out about it but apparently this has been the plan for some time now. it seems like it was first for publishers to gather BAT tokens and now it is to be enforcd for anybody who wants to use the wallet (Brave Rewards).




it is worth noting that KYC is not requires if you use it as a browser but the question rises, why would you want to use it after this and when there are good browsers like Firefox available which is the original code of this project?

for someone who uses the username "longtermbitcoin" it looks like you are living inside of your very own imaginary world that is the opposite of the real world the rest of us live in!

this is not just for bitcoin, but for literary anything else. the price of nothing can fall down 99% and the recover. not just have a small rise afterwards but have a ridiculously gigantic rise of 999,900%.
this can happen in a shitcoin market with the volume of less than $100 and such coins don't last more than a month or so. but you can't even see this happen to bitcoin even in your dreams. that simply is not how the real world works.

you can't expect any interest in a project while you don't explain anything about it at all. for starters why would anybody choose the project you linked (Secure Email) over the systems that already exist such as ProtonMail as the centralized while end to end encryption mail service with high respect to privacy. or a decentralized method such as already existing Bitmessage or other similar projects? (all of which are free by the way)

as for sending bitcoin addresses, there are much easier ways. for starters as bitmover said you create a new address and send that. if you are so concerned about MITM attacks you simply add a layer of encryption on top of it. for example share a PGP public key with the other party through a different way (physically giving him your key on a flash drive) and then sign each address with that! again for free and won't need a third party application you don't know.

the world doesn't divide into adopt bitcoin or be annihilated. bitcoin is just a small part of this world and Warren Buffet will still be big even if he or his companies never touch bitcoin ever or ever get close to anything called "cryptocurrency"!

however, what i don't get is that why do they keep asking him about bitcoin? it is not like he has ever shown any interest or have any kind of knowledge in the matter!

well first of all a country has already adopted bitcoin and that country is called Japan. it has been 2 years in progress too. so it is not like something that we can wait and see, it has already happened lol, so maybe this dude needs to review the history first before making an statement like this...

secondly i don't think it is that kind of an arms race. of course when a country adopts bitcoin earlier than others it opens up opportunities for a lot of infrastructure to be built and they will be far ahead from others but it will take time and unless others wait another decade to do the same adoption, they can easily catch up. we are still in early days and in the ground floor.

first thing you need to know is that your wallet doesn't hold any funds. all you own is "keys" that you use to unlock your funds that are already on the blockchain stored by and shared among thousands of nodes.

so all you need to save or backup is those keys. and as long as you have them, you can recover your wallet and spend your coins.

with HD wallets you have 1 seed which you use to generate all your keys. the process of generating those keys is known so all you need to do is back up that seed. so whenever you wanted to recover all your keys you just give your wallet that seed and it generates all of them based on it for you.
one way to back it up is using a mnemonic (a set of words) and all you need to do is store these words as they are shown to you.

* you can also backup the wallet file but it is not needed since the mnomonic does everything already.

the way bitcoin is designed you have no way of knowing who the transactions belong to unless the owners tell you themselves! in this case you have no way of knowing if they belong to an exchange or a whale.
and in fact in this particular case these coins you listed are linked to big services, those i checked belong to Xapo!

i believe you might be confusing a bunch of stuff with each other. you say you want to invest in "crypto market" but then follow that up with using terms such as "account" and "invest in company". there is no "company" in this space that you can invest in and if you have something specific in mind then it is an entirely different question and has nothing to do with the "market". in which case you should to check the legitimacy of that company and then look for an actual legal contract. in this case there is no "getting hacked". there is only the case if the company scams you, that you can only pursue if you had that legal contract.

as for "account" you don't have any. you only have a wallet that you create and a place where you visit to buy coins and transfer to that wallet.
the wallet's security is up to you and how you secure your system for example using cold storage or hardware wallets,...

that doesn't make any sense! if anything when price remains above a price level, stable, that means more people are going to gain the confidence that there is no drops happening and they start accumulating aka buying more.

besides if you go back a couple of pages you can see people were saying the same thing nearly each time price got stable during this rise. for instance when it was stable at $3200 they were saying $1500 is coming because it is not rising!!!

you are looking at this whole thing wrong. you should zoom out and look at the bigger real picture. that picture shows you that price has been rising from around mid 2015. with some short corrections but the overall trend was rise.
then in 2019 the final stage of that ongoing rise happened where price rise got faster. and eventually ended up with what you described which was the final step of the 13000% rise in 3 years which ended with a bubble and the result was a bubble burst and 2018 bear market.

no it wasn't sturdy, it was shady and full of doubt. just like 2015 when price got out of $150, went up 2x and fell down again to go back up, reach $500, stabalize at $450 for a long time and then continue.
now we're seeing the same. from $3000 to $6k, a drop then some months of sideways and then rise to $13k stabalizing at $10k(ish) and then continue back up.

possibly not.
usually hitting the previous ATH is harder becasue there are a lot of investors that are planning on cashing out in different price levels up until that previous ATH and that slows down the rise a lot.

well i remember it was 2017 when people first started saying India is banning cryptocurrencies!
i also remember seeing articles as old as 2011 where they were saying China is banning bitcoin soon.
so far it is 2019 and none of them have ever banned bitcoin so i wouldn't jump into any conclusions.

for most people this means selling because most people don't want to do something that their government consideres illegal even if it were wrong. many of Indians are holding though because they are aware of the corruption in their country and have chosen bitcoin as their exit plan not just a way to make money.
in the end the decision falls unto you alone.

you mean the coin that's advertising campaign was centered around replacing bitcoin? the coin that invented terms such as "flippening" and "bitcoin maximalist" just to pump itself more?
i don't think it did anything remotely positive for bitcoin. not just that, it didn't do any good to the whole market either. the ICO and basically the scam techniques that it introduced will continue biting the whole market in the ass for years to come.

the "resistance" was only tested twice in reality. other than that we have been residing in a sideways market for some time now. and i wouldn't call this a "bear market" at all. we are still in a bull market that slowed down after a 300% rise in about 6 months.
