I need to introduce a small group of people to Bitcoin in under 30 minutes. What good videos, presentations, etc. are out there currently?

The full article is linked to below, an excellent read if you have the time.

The short concluding parts:


Following the “herd,” has always ended badly for investors. In every full-market cycle, there is an inevitable belief “this time is different” for one reason or another.
It isn’t. It has never been. And this time will not be different either.

However, what has always separated out the great investors from everyone else, is they have acted independently of the “herd.” They have a discipline, a strategy and a driving will to succeed.

They don’t “buy and hold.” They buy cheap and sell expensive. They avoid losses at all costs and they deeply understand the relationship of risk to reward.

They are the “non-stupid.”

These are the ones you want to follow.

Not the ones screaming at you on altcoinstalks telling you to “buy, buy, buy.”

Someone introduced me to Voodoo day trading community where I found perfect atmosphere to learn day trading and technical analysis:  https://discord.gg/yBmNzRm I have spent last whole week in the free channel in the group and learnt some interesting tricks and earned a decent amount of money.

But it feels like to reach the next level, I have to join paid channel. I wanted to ask that is it worth to pay for learning day trading or I could found free stuff instead? This forum has been a great help to me in past. I hope I will get some valuable feedback this time too.   

Hi, there Today I have lost My Credit Card that's not a problem though. I have ordered a new card but the problem is I have some PayPal Balance So I would like to Buy Bitcoin with Paypal. Is there is any Way to Buy Bitcoin With PayPal? I Know there Are many ways available on Google but I Want to know about Most Secure way to Buy Bitcoin with PayPal.

Hello,

I've been following bitcoin and altcoins for a bit now but was off since last year for a personal reason.

Now, I would like to launch a "miniBank" business and I was wondering if ICO is the right tool for that. The idea is to run a mobile banking service (which are popular in emerging markets) through blockchain features. The initial phase will require around 500 000 USD.

Here is a list of services that will be provided by the miniBank :
- multi crypto-currency account pegged to EUR or USD
- VISA/MASTERCARD debit card linked to EUR or USD balance
- Mobile payment in several Emerging Market Countries
- Automated loans
- Transfer/Remittance from Europe to Emerging Market Countries

The presale and after the ICO will grant initial investor with token that will allow them to have :
- a perpetual fixed income on the miniBank (interest rate tbd).   
- a share of the miniBank or the cryptocurrency that will be used for mobile payment, loans...

Do you think that pre sale can be use to fund part of the initial phase ? And what are the steps that I should follow to have a successful pre-sale ?

PS: I worked in Investment Banking and I'm quite knowledgeable in term of coding and system architecture so I have a proper understanding of both.

Every mistake has its lessons. When you make a mistake, there are three things you should do: admit it, learn from it and do not repeat it.
Ever since I had been in this space, I have only been used to bitcoin, ethereum, NEO, waves, tokens that use their platform and some other very common coins, but just this week was my first time of transacting fully on XLM platform.
I got a token that uses the platform of Stellar (XLM) and I was able to trade the token into XLM on their decentralized exchange.
My mistake came in when I was about to transfer the XLM, to be traded into BTC on another exchange.
I thought the process of transfer would be the one I had been used to, not knowing that I was supposed to include a "MEMO".
I eventually transferred it, waited for an hour, but found nothing.
I was bothered.
It was in that process I got to know that memo was to be included. That was my mistake.
I admitted I had made the mistake.
The lesson I learnt is to always study everything first (both new and old, because old things can still change), before jumping into it.
This mistake I have made up my mind to never repeat again.

I AM SHARING THIS FOR YOU TO LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES AND FROM YOURS.

Reading a lot of New Year Resolutions, and I can understand many of you here have some resolutions that involve crypto and bitcoin. Maybe you want to earn a bitcoin, multiply your bitcoins or become a crypto millionaire.

So here is one similar question that does not necessarily has to be achieved in this year.

What are the things you want to buy with bitcoin?
Whether it's a House, your favourite car, a yacht, a jet or a ticket to Mars. Whatever you dream, list the things you want to buy with your bitcoins (crypto).

Some of you may have noticed this, That there are certain individuals who deliberately create a kind of pump channel in Telegram, Whatsapp etc. which aims to help people earn profit but the reality is very different.

I have tried to follow the pump channel and want to see what the channel activity looks like. Before the pump to a certain coin, will appear such a channel announcement, the time of pump, type of pump, target pump and coin to be in the pump is still a secret. It aims for channel members to prepare some money to buy. After the coin announced, the pump drama also starts with a target percentage.

the buying wall is starting to look, and the channel members are busy putting up buy orders on top of the created wall and when the target is reached, the buying wall is released and changes to the selling process which causes the price to come back down.

The question is:
- does this channel only use members to help pump prices?
- If they target a 15% increase, would they sell it when the target is reached?
- Is there any guarantee that they do not make a purchase of the coins to be collected first before announcing it.
