You mean Bitcointalk account??
It's possible to buy an account but be aware that it's discourage by the community. For your current situation it will lead to bad result and this is the most common mistake by newbies. They tend to buy high rank accounts but still asking newbie questions or sometimes shit posting.

What i can advise is, you should wait for months or until you have the knowledge on bitcoin/here in the forum.

I think trading can not be a job that is full or major. Since you already know trading is a risky thing, and all the investment have risk. I think it's better if trading just as a sideline rather than as the main occupation, because the trading results are also uncertain. IMO

The most strong way is cold storage, you see bitfinex uses multi-sig address, but was still hacked, no secure in that way. 120k btc stolen, shcked!!!!!!!

I don't think so? if you don't trust any online bitcoin wallet you can try bitcoin core but this is not safe also when your computer had virus or malware it's possible to affect your bitcoin.

You should ensure the computer and a clean USB Cold storage before you transfer your bitcoin to your address. Actually I trust online wallet, I use poloniex addy. But I just say Cold storage is the safest one.

Good informatio except this line

Phones and web wallets tend to be less secure than core wallets and cold storage.

I think
Iphone are more secure and are the best

Not only that, to make use of this "guide" u should have general computer knowledge.
Problem is so many people want to use bitcoin when they almost only know how to turn computer on and off or open a web page.

That is real problem.

Hey there Velkro!

I just would like, if you let me, to argue with you on the "source of the problem" you mention above. I definitely think that I would qualify to your "people want to use bitcoin when they almost only know how to turn computer on and off or open a web page." definition of users... But I strongly disagree with you on the "problematic" sense of using Bitcoin.

If you want Bitcoin to develop and reach its full potential, you need to adapt the software to the (dumb and computerwise primitive) people not the other way around. Bitcoin was, in my modest opinion, founded to improve society and reach the maximum number of people possible. You could argue that everyone should learn to code, about cyphers and algorithm but in some countries and for some particular people that's an impossible reach.

Again you should focus all your efforts in making Bitcoin accessible to the people and waste time in expecting the other way around to happen...

Nothing agressive here, your comment could just discourage "people".


All the best!

Save money in the exchanger is much more risky than you save in an online wallet, you are ready if hearing poloniex got hacked even though I didn't expect it that way because I use that exchange too.
