I get a lot of people asking me about bitcoin and crypto in general and how to get started, so I’m gonna use this THREAD to consolidate some essential info for newcomers:
1/ “What is Bitcoin?” is not the most straight forward question to answer. In a nutshell, it enables peer-2-peer instant borderless transfers of value, verifiable by anyone anywhere in the world on a public ledger, without the need to trust intermediaries.
2/ But more importantly, its invention has sparked a new wave of decentralization, autonomization, transparency, privacy, security, and sovereignty; that demands a completely new way of looking at, thinking about, and doing things.
3/ DYOR: Do Your Own Research! Start with the original Bitcoin whitepaper, “Bitcoin: peer to peer version of electronic cash”: bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf. You may not understand it fully (I don’t claim to either), but definitely a must read if you’re starting out in $crypto!
4/ One of - if not the most - comprehensive resources for learning about Bitcoin with over 20 categories ranging from history, to buying BTC, setting up a wallet, technical information, mining, security, and trading: lopp.net/bitcoin.html
5/ Andreas, a well respected Bitcoin evangelist, has devoted the past 4-5 years of his life to spreading the word of crypto, writing books and speaking at events all over the world. Great resource for understanding how Bitcoin affects the world at large: youtube.com/user/aantonop
6/ So you’re ready to buy your first Bitcoin. Where to start? First, you got to set up your exchange account by creating an account and submitting your verification details. Once that is done, you’ll be able to send USD from your bank account into the exchange to purchase BTC.
7/ FIAT on/off ramp exchanges include:
- Bitstamp.net (Slovenia)
- bitfinex.com/?refcode=aQBHc… (HK)
You may also have some services specific to your country. Alternatively, you can purchase P2P via localbitcoins.com, or earn them by selling services.
8/ After buying Bitcoin from your fiat on/off ramps, you can send the BTC to other exchanges if you wanna buy other altcoins.

Some exchanges to use:
Bittrex.com
Poloniex.com
binance.com/?ref=10938109
kucoin.com/#/?r=7Q5tPQ
cryptopia.co.nz/Register?refer…
9/ If you wish to trade BTC leveraged (including altcoins & futures contracts), some sites to use include:
- bitfinex.com/?refcode=aQBHc…
- bitmex.com/register/cYGy1I
- okcoin.com/?invid=2016019
- 1broker.com/?r=2710 (Global Markets)
10/ Security is something you must not take lightly, unless you like to learn the hard way. Make sure to activate authenticator 2FA on all your crypto emails and exchange accounts. Don’t use SMS 2FA. Security Primer: steemit.com/bitcoin/@notso…
11/ Sites to use for $crypto trading research:
Coincheckup.com - market cap
Coingecko.com - comparison
Tradingview.com - charting
Bitcointalk.org - ANN & activity
Twitter.com - social sentiment
Coinmarketcal.com - events
12/ Twitter is the best place to be to keep up with $crypto news and trading. Start by checking out my 'following' list and branch out according to your preferences. twitter.com/following

2017 was a life-changing year for many including myself, and I hope this can inspire some of you to keep pursuing the crypto dream.

Here's an end-of-year reflection of my $crypto trading journey.

THREAD:
1/ As a follower of tech/startup news, I came across a Bitcoin article in April 2013, but dismissed it as a bubble/fad. Read into it 6 months later, got hooked forever once I understood it was more significant than the internet and was the most revolutionary invention in my life.
2/ Thankful I stuck to it, even when nobody around me saw it the same way I did. It was the possibility of financial freedom that first attracted me, but like many others, its not the only reason I stayed. Since August 2013 I’ve practically been following the BTC price every day.

The mainstream has almost entirely forgotten about #bitcoin again.
In conversations with people from home, many recall the #crypto hype from a year ago, but have stopped paying attention since.
Yes, there are a lot more “decisions makers” that have gained a basic understanding of #crypto, which is great.

And the technologists & financial folks that feed off the bleeding edge continue to pay attention, invest, or build, just as happened in 2015.

0/ Thread time. Continue reading if you want to know what's been going on in the #crypto/#blockchain ecosystem over the past ~24 hours!
1/ 🤝 In a push to bolster speed and throughput, stalwart of the #crypto exchange space - @Bitstamp - chose @Cinnober to henceforth be the provider of its trading system (i.e., replacing Bitstamp's in-house developed matching engine).
2/ Ⓜ️ The team at @MakerDAO [ $MKR ] updated the community on its upgrade path vis-à-vis Multi-Collateral $Dai (MCD).

Ever-meticulous, Maker is running initiatives to ensure that potential bugs/vulnerabilities are identified and fixed prior to release. medium.com/makerdao/the-r…

#Thread #KeralaFloods Detailed thread to document the historic efforts of various online groups in rescue and relief operations. Trust me, Whatsapp and Google sheets were the powerful weapons we had. Pic: An online control room set by NRKs in house at Abu Dhabi (1/n)
It was the time we truly realised the power of social media and instant messaging services with regard to disaster management. Many were stranded on roof-tops without any other contact to the world other than their mobile phones. Whatsapp brilliantly solved the issue. (2/n)
Before going in detail let me point out the problem statements. 1) Govt issued some helpline numbers but most of them were busy with numerous calls 2) Thousands of SOS requests flooded in social media which were not addressed in a systematic manner, hence turned spams (3/n)

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"

1/ Bitcoin is still cheap at $8500. People that acted pro bitcoin in the last 6 months only to run away at a price crash make me laugh. If you can manage to accumulate 1 coin or even 0.1btc and hold it for 10 years you will have a lot of purchasing power.
2/ Bitcoin investing requires an iron stomach, but it's easy to get an iron stomach if you can grasp a firm understanding of how and why Bitcoin works. Once you've crossed this mental threshold you realize the price today or tomorrow doesn't matter...
3/ you just know you must accumulate as much as you reasonably can before wide spread adoption occurs. #bitcoin

THREAD showing evidence I've come across that suggests the recent murder of a young Jewish man in California was committed by a neo-Nazi, possibly as a politically motivated killing. (Sat on this for a week waiting on editors but now bits of the info are already out, so fuck it).
On January 2nd a 19-year-old Jewish man went missing in southern California. He turned up dead on Jan 9th, buried in a shallow grave in Borrego Park (wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=3…). A former class-mate was arrested on suspicion of the murder on Jan 12th.
The deceased is Blaze Bernstein and the suspected killer--now charged with the murder--is Sam Woodward, 20. (Referred to here on out as Blaze and Sam). See the next tweet for the LA Times story.
