@Whitepablo
To say "everybody" is to generalise and make a big assumption, especially when you can only really speak for yourself.
I am glad to know you are well-informed. As for "everybody" else, they may not be as informed as you or I - hence the reason for this thread. This thread will help them by collating much of the important information in one place as an easy resource.
You are welcome to contribute constructively to my thread by sharing relevant content to this thread's purpose.
If cryptocurrency is not a subject you are interested in, I suggest this thread would not be for you.
Thank you for your feedback.
I leave you with this quote: "Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing." Edmund Burke
This thread is the least I can do to highlight the risks inherent with cryptocurrencies, so people are more informed.

Don't buy the hype: some proponents still push "pump and dumps". Ask the question: who ends up losing their money? It may be you. Learn their arguments: then run a mile the other way!

"As far as trading of individual cryptocurrencies goes, there are a number of topics that must first be addressed..."

I personally trade stocks/companies that are in the blockchain technology arena but not in the currency side of things. Blockchain tech is around to stay I believe, the currencies are yet to be determined so if you are looking for less risk, go with the technology side that is useful to companies.

I said earlier that bitcoin had to survive for a couple of years. But his turnovers are growing. And it scares me. I do not know what will happen in a few years. But while I'm not ready to trade bitcoin.
