Good that you asked - Hold your Coins - Do not invest into sites that promise ' 2% Return Monthly' ' Get 15000 satoshis daily by depositing XXX BTC', these are most likely scams - Avoid the investors-based games thread - Try not to trade/invest in altcoins to earn BTC if you are a starter (only trade with what you can afford to lose) - Read more on this forum (many posts are helpful) - If you are using any service that uses your Bitcoin (i.e. BTC Wallets, Exchange Sites), do check for its reputation and securityDo not get pulled in into a ponzi, nothing is free in this world, you have to work hard if you want to 'earn' BTC.

There's no such thing as get big in short time except for gambling,you shouldn't trust anything who tell you that And for technical thing like wallet,you should see the address bar on your browser to avoid getting phising,make sure it's secure and real address

Try keeping faith in honesty and hardwork. Never give out your bitcoins to any third party or individual seems any how promising to you and offering you return on your coins. Use escrow whenever you buy/sell anything in BTC. Don't invest your funds in any new ICO just by reading few supportive lines. Do understand project completely and evaluate how promising it is on your grounds and then go for investing. Double check BTC address before sending funds. Avoid phishing pages.

Also, in addition, if you are trading here on the forum with other members it is best to use escrow. Especially if you are dealing with people with bad reputation. Though it doesn't mean you will be 100% secure, but it will significantly improve your chances of not getting scammed.

Like what he just said I agreed to it, Don't try to invest for now or don't invest at all so you can be sure that you will not get scam, and yes there is a lot of promise in trading but try to avoid it for now if you are only starting, and just let hold of your bitcoin because it is still increasing, and stick to signature campaign for now if you are accumulating your earning for now and try to read the do's and don'ts of every campaign to avoid getting kick from it.

Never do trades without an escrow.Avoid trading with newbies as most scammers use newbie accounts to scam people.Don't trade with people who have red tag or negative trust.Even if the escrow fee goes 1% or 2%,just use escrow so that your money would be safe.

For me if you are a newbie you will always encounter this kind of situation you'll always be targeted by scammers so better to knlw who you're dealing with.. You can't avoid this kind of matters you'll always find one who targeting you for me as a newbie it's better to experience being scam because experience brings out the best of you just educate yourself to be more knowledgeable to this kind of field to avoid scammers

Well what's for sure is Don't trust something easily. Never believe if they offer you something big, like 2x return, 100% interest and others. Always check everything to make sure the investment is not a scam. Maybe you can ask first to the seniors here before putting your money there. If it's a website, check first whether it's famous and trusted already or not. Maybe you can even read review or the testimoni? But make sure it's real, not fake. That's all i can say, just remember again, don't trust easily.

-Don't use escrow sites, they're not very accountable for your actions. Use a forum escrow, and check their recent trust. Always make sure that the escrow talks to you directly and verify that you are sending to their public address (always verify their signature).
-Don't trade with other newbies. Just don't do it.
-Don't deal with PayPal or other reversible money transfer systems.
-Don't trade altcoins unless you've done thorough research on the development team, why the coin needs to exist and other information, otherwise you're practically gambling and you're getting played by whales.

Good advice! Though I would temper the advice about altcoins with a suggestion to diversify and not hold a single cryptocurrency, not even bitcoin. But research each cryptocurrency you buy and be able to write down why you are buying it (if it is just a feeling, don't buy.) And be aware that as volatile as bitcoin is, pretty much all other cryptocurrencies are even worse.

When it comes to online investment don't trust any of the so-called High Yield Investment Programs or HYIPs because they are not really a company that gives you high yields they are fake sites that will only run away your money, regardless of how early or how many you recruit it will always end up with someone losing their money because the possibility of this sites running away are high.

I think almost everyone here has been victimized by the so called HYIP. I myself when I was started fall for it. So stay away from this kind of investment. I think if you are going to trade with someone here, use escrow to be safe as well. Read a lot on this forum, and understand those ICO's/Crowsale going before investing also.
