Though this is not necessarily bad, just be cautious that it could be a security and privacy nightmare. Probably wear a facemask and a cap, and don't go straight home after the conference/meetup, instead, go to a very public place like a mall first. Just to be sure as to prevent people from following you.

Bitcoin twitter has been awful lately. Sorry to admit it but it got worse after Elon took over. Basically you got nothing but bots posting phishing websites and scams.

Doesn’t matter what you are trying to search for? Whether bitcoin, Ethereum, alts, defi you will get nothing but massive replies about scams which try and steal your bitcoins.

upon all of those
but the highlighted part is what I do believe is important as there are so much predictions going on here , and people mostly buys their prediction when they truly not holding Crystal ball.

this si a good example on how to keep safe our assets and most importantly for those who  has Big amount of crypto inside their wallets.

and even with smaller amount still this is important .

If you are only interested in bitcoin and don't want to invest in altcoins or new projects, don't go anywhere else but bitcointalk. Here you will find everything about bitcoin that you cannot find anywhere else. Twitter is my favorite place to read daily news but since Elon introduced a policy of writing content to make money, things started to become a mess. People repeat the same content over and over again just to attract more followers for a higher chance of receiving rewards from Elon. There's no denying that it was a pretty good business strategy for Elon to attract more users to Twitter, but it also made things worse in terms of content.

You can attend Bitcoin meetups and conferences if you want to join the crowd but my warning for you is simple.

When you join meetups or conferences, don't bring a device (like PC, laptop, smartphone) that you store biggest part of your capital. You can bring a device on which you store small part of your capital, consider it is your hot wallet that you afford to lose it.

Attending those events that are surely crowded, will bring risk to lose your devices and even you afford to lose your devices, you have to protect your capital that should be kept at home, not bringing around the street and events.

I agree to this point... eventually the goal should be gulp more bitcoin when you can... and keeping the luck aside it's a fact that most of us can't trade like expert traders, it needs time and effort to understand graphs and play safe bets. Amongall those DCA is one of the best and easy options. I have been doing this and I'm pretty happy with it (thanks to JayJuanGee from WO who introduced DCA to me). I learned about it from bitcointalk even the term DCA i heard it first here on bitcointalk.



hahaha that stage is over for most of us. I remember I did this a lot back in 2017 and many people still think that bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme

True, I hate it when influencers are telling us to spread the BTC to everyone. If someone is not interested you only will scare them most likely.
The only thing is that I never met with other Bitcoiners, I don't know any in my city and we don't have community meetings or something.

One of the first tips to give someone coming into bitcoin. Do not think or wait for maybe a perfect time like when the bitcoin will fall to a low price before you will invest. The more days you wait might be the days you will ever get to meet the price at such low. All the talks about it coming down again are just speculations or predictions that it’s certainty aren’t guaranteed. Invest immediately you have the money and have acquired some essential knowledge, using the DCA method saves one from being hit hard even when the price falls and maximizes profits when it raises.


A very important advice to anyone but most especially someone in a country in which the government are not too friendly to bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large. If you can’t miss this gatherings then be sure to have security etiquettes and never go to places like this and boast about your holdings. Keep them private


Since the switch of twitter to Elon the place has become a den of scammers, but why wouldn’t it be when even the tag or blue tick meant for trusted or long term accounts can now easily be bought and be paid for. Now a days I will advice everyone to just treat every information from there with caution and avoid clicking on links, most especially those related to cryptocurrency

    There's nothing wrong with sticking to Bitcoin, and it's good to hold a lot of it if you buy a lot. But it's not right to say don't trade altcoins. Why are altcoins bad? You should clarify why you don't trade altcoins. What is that? Are you saying this in general, or are you referring to altcoins that are not good to trade?

   Be clear first: when you trade altcoins, you won't make money? Are bitcoins and altcoins non-volatile? How can you learn to trade if you avoid trading in altcoins? Do you think you can only learn to trade with Bitcoin? Having a lot of experience does not mean that our knowledge is extensive and that what we say is correct. That is not the case.

I also invested a small amount in altcoins and realized that I was gambling rather than investing, there wasn't anything to learn in gambling. There is only win or lose and it depends entirely on luck.

You are not wrong in saying that people should try altcoins to see the superiority of bitcoin over shitcoins but many people have tried it and got addicted. Because they are blinded by advertisements about altcoins that can bring tons of profits, and until they lose everything, they suddenly wake up. So it's better not to try.
