What is the best way to make money from Crypto currency trading?
Has anyone ever heard of Titcoin? Bahahahaha. Crypto is nonsense.
You are pointing people in the right direction.. I will advice traders especially newbies to have orientation of trading before they get involved in it because the Crypto market has been unstable, forget predictions and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses. when news gets bearish start buying. "Keep it simple" That correction was the best thing that happened me. but all thanks to Ronald Leslie for his amazing skills for help me to earn 13 BTC through trading chart. I believe we are in the spring phase.

Crypto is still a scam. The proof is there for everyone to see.
The good news is he didn't get rob at gun point.
A fool and his money are easily parted.
If she doesn't want to call you, video call you, its a scam. Or she has a mental illness. Men are waking up! Women are getting desperate and tired, cant turn back the clock.
Ok NBC you can't have Bitcoin all to yourself, yes that man made a bad mistake you should do your own investing on crypto it is novel but it is real.
Lol, greedy guy.
I really don't understand why you want me to sympathize with stupid rich people, their loss gives me nothing but happiness in my heart. He's a sucker believing in someone he never met, and doubly so for the entire bit-coin thing.
I can lend him that $
when the women mentioned bitcoin, i would of known it was a scam, if you dont hold it you dont own it
THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS COMING ..
It <makes sense, BTC and crypto is off helping to regulate, rather that pretend it won't ever happen. The big institutions getting in is the catalyst that will launch us into the stratosphere. Most people don't like change but after the change is made they grow used to it and it becomes a non issue usually because their fears never materialize. And benefits they were unaware with before turn out to be far more beneficial. Few if any rug pulls. The projects that initiated the process of regulation have not been ruined, they got involved in setting guidelines and helping the regulators understand the crypto space. I’d get involved more knowing that I have made over 16` btc from day-trade with Anika Hobson Crypto in few weeks
