You need to make the right choices in life that fully support your WHY statement and avoid those choices which move you away from it.\n\nIf you have made a statement of contribution to help others in your WHY statement then it is not a good idea to go to the bar every night and get drunk. You are not going to be able to help a lot of people in this condition are you? \n\nOK this is a pretty extreme example, but it is a real one and if this is something that you currently do then you are going to have to change this behavior right now. In fact anything that you currently do that doesn’t fit with your WHY statement is going to have to stop.\n\nTake Stock of your current Lifestyle\n\nA lot of people that find their true calling and write personal WHY statements find that their current way of life is far away from where they really want to be. We recommend that you examine all of your current habits to see if they align with your WHY statement.\n\nIf your habits are not in alignment then that is OK. You will need to commit to making adjustments so that you can align with it. Give yourself time to do this as it may take longer than you think to break certain habits.\n\nPersistence will Win the Day\n\nYou will need a good deal of persistence to change your life to align with your WHY statement if there is a significant gap. By making small changes on a regular basis you will get there in the end. \n\nThe best results will come your way when you are persistent. Each day make a list of the things that you need to do to align your life with your WHY statement. Review your progress at the end of each day and plan for the next day. By taking small and regular actions you will develop your persistence and get the results that you want.\n\nFocus on Providing Value to Others\n\nIn your WHY statement you made a contribution to help others. Make this your focus going forward. Most people tend to focus on money and are always looking for ways to make more. When you change your focus to helping other improve their lives then you can do it in such a way that the money will follow.\n\nDon’t get hung up on small things. Too many people focus on the minutia of life and never achieve anything. Your WHY statement will provide you with the “big picture” so use it to focus on the important things that will get you where you want to be.\n\nLiving by a WHY Statement is not easy\n\nThe reason that so many people just drift along in life is because it is an easy option. It doesn’t take much effort to sit in front of the TV for hours eating snacks. When you are committed to a WHY statement then there will be no easy options for you. It is all or nothing.\n\nAccountability will help you here. Share your WHY statement with people that you know. Try to find a WHY statement buddy who will hold you to your mission in life and quickly point out to you if you are going off track.\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

Your WHY statement needs to be compelling because you want to use it to motivate you every day to do the right things to attain fulfillment in your life.\n\nThere are a number of formats that you can use to write your WHY statement but at the end of the day it is up to you. \nThere are no hard and fast rules here. The most important thing is that your WHY statement really resonates with you and that it is effective.\n\nFour Elements of an Ideal WHY Statement\n\nAlthough you don’t need to conform to any set rules there are four elements to a good WHY statement that we strongly recommend that you follow. Your WHY statement need to be very clear and as concise as possible for you and any people that you choose to share it with. So we strongly recommend that you include these 4 elements in your WHY statement:\n\n1. Make your WHY statement clear and simple\nIt is really important that your WHY statement provides you with clarity about your life’s purpose. It needs to be simple to understand and as concise as you can make it. At the end of the day it needs to make sense and resonate with you.\n2. Your WHY statement needs to promote action\nYour WHY statement must inspire action. There is no point just writing a WHY statement and then do nothing with you. It needs to inspire you to work towards your true calling in life and motivate you to work on this every day.\n3. Include your Contribution to others in your WHY statement\nIf you can help others then you will help yourself. Every good WHY statement needs a contribution element to it so make sure that yours does as well. Having a contribution element will inspire you to move forward each day.\n4. Make your WHY statement positive and ensure it resonates with you\nIt will actually be pretty difficult for you to create a WHY statement that is negative but ensure that it is really positive. When you read your WHY statement it needs to resonate with you and motivate you to take action towards your life’s purpose.\n\nHow long should your WHY Statement be?\n\nAgain there are no strict rules to follow here. Your WHY statement needs to be as long as you need it to be. Having said that we recommend that you keep your WHY statement as short as you can. \n\nThe most important thing is that your WHY statement contains the 4 important elements that we discussed above. While others may be able to write their WHY statement in one sentence this may not be enough for you. This doesn’t matter at all so please do not concern yourself with this.\n\nAim for an Evergreen WHY Statement\n\nAn evergreen WHY statement is one that you will not have to change very often, if at all. You want to use your WHY statement in all aspects of your life both in your work and personal life. \nWhen you are writing your WHY statement, think about it as a way to express the value that you provide to others at work and in your personal life. There is no need for you to write two WHY statements to cover this.\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

You could do this anonymously and you didn’t need permission from anyone to acquire Bitcoins. With the growth in popularity of Bitcoin there are now several ways you can acquire them.\n\nCryptocurrency Exchanges\n\nYou can register with a cryptocurrency exchange like Coinbase.com and purchase Bitcoins using your native currency. Some countries do not allow the purchase of Bitcoins so you need to check this first. \n\nWhen you sign up with a reputable exchange like Coinbase.com you will need to provide a number of personal details. This certainly includes your name and address and other financial information. This is to comply with the Know Your \n\nCustomer (KYC) laws that exist in a lot of countries.\n\nThis defeats one of the key cornerstones of Bitcoin which is anonymity. The network was set up so that you could perform Bitcoin transactions without anyone knowing who you were or where you were from. \n\nThere are some cryptocurrency exchanges that allow you to use fiat currencies to purchase Bitcoins and there are others where you can only make purchases with cryptocurrencies. You need to check that an exchange provides the service that you need.\n\nA cryptocurrency exchange charges a transaction fee for every purchase of Bitcoins. The good news is that these fees tend to be a lot lower than those charged by traditional financial institutions.\n\nBitcoin ATM\n\nIn the last few years Bitcoin ATM’s have emerged in North America and Western Europe. They are now in other countries too. Here you can use funds from your bank account or a credit card to purchase Bitcoins.\n\nMost of the ATM’s will allow you to make transactions as well. So if you want to send Bitcoins to another person or receive them then you can do this. The rise in the number of Bitcoin ATM’s proves the growing popularity of the digital currency.\n\nWork for Bitcoins\n\nA lot of freelancers in different parts of the world like payment in Bitcoins. Employers like it too because sending \nBitcoins is a lot cheaper than setting up a bank transfer to another country. It takes a lot less time to receive a Bitcoin payment than it does a bank transfer payment.\n\nThere are freelancing websites where you can receive payments in Bitcoin. One of the biggest freelancer websites, Fiverr.com, will pay you in Bitcoins if you want and so will other big sites such as Upwork.com, Freelancer.com, Guru.com and PeoplePerHour.com.\n\nComplete Tasks for Bitcoins\n\nThese days you can join websites that require you to perform small tasks and receive Bitcoins as a reward. Some of these tasks include:\n•\tWatching videos\n•\tCompleting surveys\n•\tOnline shopping\n•\tSigning up to free trial offers\n•\tPlaying online games\n\nThese tasks will take you a few minutes to complete and you will receive fractions of Bitcoins called Satoshi’s for doing this.\n\nSell Products and Services for Bitcoins\n\nIf you own a conventional brick and mortar store or an online store you can receive Bitcoins as a form of payment. In a brick and mortar store all you need to do is to print out the QR code for your wallet and then customers can use their smartphones to scan the code and pay you using Bitcoin.\nWith an online store there are a number of scripts and plugins available that create a Bitcoin payment gateway.\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

You need to think carefully about what you want to include in your mission statement as it needs to be congruent with all of the parties in your business including your customers, employees, suppliers and stakeholders (owners etc).\n\nWe recommend that a strong mission statement needs to include these three important elements as a minimum:\n1.\tWhat does your business do for your customers?\n2.\tWhat does your business do for your employees?\n3.\tWhat does your business do for your stakeholders / owners?\n\nSo good mission statements include a fourth element which is what the company will do for the community. These are certainly the most important factors of a mission statement so make sure that you include them in yours.\n\nWhat does a Strong Mission Statement do for a Business?\n\nIt is very similar to a personal WHY statement in that it provides clarity of purpose. There is more to a mission statement than a personal WHY statement as a business is more complex. A strong mission statement should be used to:\n•\tSet the main business goal(s)\n•\tDetermine the company culture\n•\tDefine the ethics of the business\n•\tProvide guidance for decision making\n\nUnfortunately most mission statements are poorly written and you wonder why the business owners bothered to write theirs at all. Some of the largest businesses are guilty of this – it is not just the smaller companies. \n\nIf you create a vague mission statement this doesn’t help your customers or your employees at all. You are not going to garner commitment if people do not understand what your mission statement really means. So in this article we will show you how to create a clear mission statement that all parties can commit to.\n\nWhat is the Purpose of your Business?\n\nThe first important step to writing a strong mission statement is to define clearly what your business is about. Consider the customer here and map out the process of how they find out about you right through to making a decision to purchase your products and services.\n\nYou need to think about these 3 main aspects:\n1.\tWhy do your customers want what you have to offer?\n2.\tHow will customers find your business?\n3.\tWhat’s in it for your customers?\n\nIn your mission statement you need to inform your customers why they need to buy from you. Write a list of what your business does as well as the things that it doesn’t do to help create a clear picture.\n\nWhat does your Company do for your Employees?\n\nIf a business does not take care of their employees there will be high turnover which is expensive. So use your mission \nstatement to retain your employees for longer. Think about how you motivate and train your employees. Here are some ideas for this:\n•\tYou provide the best training\n•\tYou are fair with your employees\n•\tYou respect the ideas that your employees have\n•\tYou empower your employees\n\nAll of these things really matter to your employees. You need to tell them that you see them as your most precious asset and you want to take care of them. To avoid your mission statement being too long, you can create an external one for your customers and an internal one for your employees and stakeholders.\n\nMission Statements and Owners\n\nYou need to include what is in it for your owners in your mission statement as well. If you are not the owner of the business then talk to the owners to find out what is important to them. The value of shares and return on investment are almost certainly going to be of interest.\n\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

So having made this investment in your WHY statement you will want to get the most that you can from it. \n\nQuite rightly you took quite a long time to write and refine your WHY statement so that it was as clear, concise and powerful as it could be. So now it is time for you to reap the benefits of your new powerful WHY statement and in this article we will show you how to do that.\n\nMotivate yourself with your WHY Statement\n\nInspiration alone is usually never enough to achieve your goals. There are going to be times when you are not in the right frame of mind and just cannot be bothered to take action. When you have a strong personal WHY statement you can use it to provide you with a significant motivational boost.\n\nWe strongly recommend that you have a copy of your personal WHY statement by your bedside. Every morning after you get out of bed you should read your WHY statement out loud so that it motivates you and gives you the energy that you need for the day ahead.\n\nIt is also a good idea to keep a copy of your WHY statement with you so that you can access it at any time. If you feel the need for a motivational boost at any time of day, and wherever you are, get out your WHY statement and read it again.\n\nThere is no limit to how many times you should read your WHY statement each day and be motivated by it. That is one of the main reasons that you spent all of the time and energy writing it so use it as often as you need.\n\nSet your Goals using your WHY Statement\n\nYou are very unlikely to achieve goals that you are not truly committed to. Maybe you were persuaded by others to set certain goals in the past or you just thought that it was the right thing to do. \n\nWith a strong WHY statement you can forget about what others say and any other influencers. You know what your purpose in life is now and you have clearly defined this in your WHY statement. This clarity is essential for you to set goals that you are inspired by and truly committed to.\n\nYou are aware of the contribution that you want to make to the world and the impact that you want to have. So use this to set goals that will move you forward with both of these. Create your goals and plans around your personal WHY statement and you will be totally driven to achieve them.\n\nMake Decisions using your WHY Statement\n\nYou should find it easier to make decisions going forward now that you have a strong and clear WHY statement. Instead of making some decisions without considering the consequences as a lot of people do, your WHY statement will guide you to make the right decisions.\n\nYour WHY statement has provided you with direction and purpose for your life so always have it in the back of your mind when you are making decisions. Ask yourself if making a particular decision will move you closer to your life’s purpose or move you away from it.\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

You can share your new personal WHY statement with your family members, your close friends, your employer and anyone else that is important to you in your life.\n\nSome people are not going to know what a WHY statement is and why you have bothered to create one. Explain to everyone that you have now found your true life purpose and that you intend to stand by your WHY statement from now on. \n\nSharing Provides Accountability\n\nBy sharing your WHY statement with the important people around you will make yourself accountable and more motivated to live by it. You may not feel that you need this added accountability because you have a strong will, but you will be surprised how much this can help you to be the person that you truly want to be.\n\nNot everyone that you share your WHY statement with is going to hold you accountable. Some of your family members and friends may not even notice that you have deviated from it. Others may notice, but then show sympathy to you and say things like “well you tried and that was the main thing”. This is not going to help you.\n\nThink about who will make a good WHY statement buddy. This is a person who will truly hold you accountable to your WHY statement and will let you know in no uncertain terms of you fall of the rails. They are not going to be sympathetic to any deviances and will give you a hard time if you do not live by your WHY statement.\nIs it necessary to Share your WHY Statement with everyone?\n\nThere are going to be some people in your circle that just don’t get it. They may even laugh at you for creating a personal WHY statement and tell you that you have just wasted a lot of time and effort. \n\nSome people are going to tell you that you will never live by your WHY statement. They know you very well and feel that you will deviate from your WHY statement at the earliest opportunity. We all have these kinds of people in our lives who see the negative in everything.\n\nSo should you share your WHY statement with these people? To be honest only you can answer that question. If you know that a person is going to hit you with a barrage of negativity when you share your WHY statement with them then you need to decide if you are going to be able to handle this.\n\nSome people can handle this kind of negativity well. It actually makes them even more committed to their WHY statement. Others will find this negativity difficult to deal with and it may make them think that they are wasting their time with a WHY statement.\n\nYou need to assess what kind of person you are and how you will react to any negativity. If you think that any negativity will affect you badly, do not share your WHY statement with these kind of people. \nThe truth is you can never totally predict how people you are close to will react to you telling them about your WHY statement. Some will be enthusiastic and show encouragement. But others that you expect the same reaction from may be negative about it. You need to be prepared for any eventuality.\n\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

But some Bitcoin wallets are not so secure. You need a wallet to store your Bitcoins in and to make transactions. There is no need for you to confine yourself to one type of wallet. In fact we strongly recommend that you have more than one.\n\nIf a thief or a hacker accesses your Bitcoin wallet then they can transfer all of your currency into their accounts. And remember that blockchain creates immutable records that you can’t change so there is no chance of you getting your Bitcoins back if this happens. So let’s take a look at the different types of wallets.\n\nOnline Wallets\n\nIf you use a cryptocurrency exchange to buy and sell Bitcoins as most people do they will provide you with an online wallet to store your Bitcoins in. These are very convenient as all you need to do is to connect to the Internet and you can use your online wallet to perform transactions. A mobile wallet is an online wallet for mobile devices.\n\nOnline wallets are “hot wallets” which means you can call them into action immediately for your Bitcoin transactions. You can access your online wallet with an Internet connection from anywhere in the world. The problem is so can thieves and hackers.\n\nThe other issue with online wallets provided by cryptocurrency exchanges is that the exchange can block your access to your wallet if you have your account suspended for some reason. If they close your account for good then you will lose everything.\n\nDesktop Wallet\nA desktop wallet is a software application that you download to your laptop or desktop. It is a medium security wallet. If you disconnect your computer from the Internet then there is no way that a hacker can access your desktop wallet. But as soon as you connect again you are somewhat vulnerable.\n\nIt is a lot more difficult for a hacker to access your desktop wallet than it is an online wallet. But it is possible. If your computer becomes inoperable and you haven’t made a backup copy of your desktop wallet then you will lose everything.\n\nPaper Wallet\n\nIn this scenario your Bitcoin wallet is a piece of paper with all of your private key information on it. You might think that the idea of using pieces of paper to store your Bitcoin information doesn’t really match up with modern technology but actually it is a very safe way to store your Bitcoins.\n\nThere are no recorded cases of cyber criminals hacking pieces of paper and nor are there likely to be. The biggest issue with paper wallets is where to keep the paper so that nobody else can find it. If you have a lot of Bitcoins then consider a safety deposit box.\n\nHardware Wallet\nA hardware wallet is the most expensive option and is usually a USB stick that you can carry around with you wherever you go. These are the most secure Bitcoin wallets out there and if you are going to be a serious investor then we highly recommend that you get one.\n\nAll you need to do is to plug the hardware wallet into your computer when you want to make a Bitcoin transaction. When you complete the transaction remove the hardware wallet and keep it in a safe place.\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

Here we will discuss the most common Bitcoin scams and how you can avoid them.\n\nThe Fake Bitcoin Exchange\n\nBuying and selling of Bitcoins is usually performed using a Bitcoin or cryptocurrency exchange. Some of the exchanges will allow you to purchase Bitcoins in your native fiat currency while others will allow you to use other cryptocurrencies to exchange for Bitcoins.\nThere are many cryptocurrency exchanges available and more joining the group all of the time. Not all of these exchanges are legitimate and some exist to steal your Bitcoins or your money – or both. \nTo all intents and purposes these exchanges look and feel like real ones. They will display the real time prices and have a trading platform. But they will just take your Bitcoins and siphon them off to their accounts or take your currency and never provide you with the Bitcoins you paid for.\n\nMalware Scams\n\nMalware is a small computer application that downloads onto your computer. Recently there has been cases of malware that have keyloggers detecting all of the keystrokes you make. These can discover your private keys for Bitcoin or your login details to a cryptocurrency exchange.\nWhen this happens hackers will use this information to steal your Bitcoins. You can download malware without realizing it and the cyber criminals are getting better at this with each passing day. Never click on a website link that you don’t entirely trust.\n\nEmail Phishing\n\nThis is another popular scam. Thieves purchase domain names that are similar to the reputable exchanges. For example they might get their hands on Coinsbase.com rather than Coinbase.com.\nThey then send fake emails using these domain names and ask recipients to check their cryptocurrency accounts. They provide a link in the email which goes to their fake website. It looks exactly like the real login page of the legitimate exchange. \nThe user has to enter their login details which the hackers steal. Hackers can prevent the user from logging in to their real accounts and very quickly they divert any Bitcoins in their wallets to their accounts. You need to thoroughly check any link in an email that has supposedly come from your cryptocurrency exchange.\n\nBitcoin Doubling\nYou may have come across websites before that claim that they can double the amount of Bitcoins that you hold or provide you with a guaranteed return on your Bitcoins every day. Nobody has the power to double your Bitcoins and with the volatility of the digital currency guaranteed daily returns are impossible as well.\nIf you see any websites making these claims then stay well away from them. There only intention is to steal your Bitcoins. Sometimes they will pay out for a few days and then completely disappear along with your Bitcoins.\n\nBitcoin Cloud Mining\nThe thought of free money compels a lot of people to look into Bitcoin mining. It is very expensive to buy and run the computer equipment needed to do this on your own so lately cloud mining solutions have emerged where you can pay a company to do this for you.\nThere are some legitimate cloud mining services but there are scammers as well. It is not cheap to get involved with cloud mining and the scammers take your money and of course they do not perform any mining on your behalf.\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

But a number of newcomers keep making the same mistakes when they get involved. Some of these mistakes can be very costly so we bring you 5 mistakes that you must avoid at all costs to ensure that you get the most out of your participation with Bitcoin.\n\n1. Using your Exchange Wallet to Store all of your Bitcoins\n\nBitcoins are now worth a lot of money which makes them attractive to new investors. It also makes them attractive to hackers and thieves as well. Most people purchase their Bitcoins from a cryptocurrency exchange. When they do this the exchange provides them with an online wallet to store their Bitcoins.\n\nKeeping all of your Bitcoins in your exchange wallet is a bad idea for two main reasons. The first of these is security. It is almost impossible to hack the blockchain for Bitcoin but online exchange wallets are a much easier prospect. If a hacker gets into your online exchange wallet then they can take all of your Bitcoins.\n\nThe second reason you should never keep all of your Bitcoins in an exchange wallet is because they can suspend or even close down your account for a variety of reasons. If they close your account down altogether then you lose any Bitcoins in your exchange wallet.\n\n2. Not having Secure Places for your Bitcoins\nThere are different types of wallets that you can use to store your Bitcoins. The online or mobile wallet offers the highest level of convenience but the lowest level of security. You can use these wallets for small and regular Bitcoin transactions.\n\nYou can get a more secure wallet which is an application for your desktop or laptop computer. Some of these are free and some require a small payment. These are medium security Bitcoin wallets as you can disconnect your computer from the Internet.\n\nPaper wallets are more secure. As the name suggests you print off your vital Bitcoin information to paper and then you can store this where nobody else will have access to it (such as in a safety deposit box). \n\nFinally the most secure wallet is the hardware wallet. This is a USB stick where you can store your Bitcoins. You only need to use the hardware wallet when you are making transactions. Take it out of the computer when finished. Hardware wallets are fairly expensive but they are worth it.\n\n3. Price Change Panics\n\nIt is no secret that Bitcoin is a volatile currency. Price swings of around $100 a day up or down are commonplace. Sometimes newcomers to Bitcoin investing panic when they see these price changes – particularly price drops.\nThere is no need to panic. Bitcoin tends to go up and down in price in cycles. It has steadily risen in value over the years and there is no reason to think this will not continue.\n\n4. Shifting from one Cryptocurrency to another\n\nIf you are going to invest in Bitcoin then stick with Bitcoin. Jumping around from one cryptocurrency to another never works well. Don’t be tempted by Altcoin as this is not as well established as Bitcoin. \n\n5. Not knowing enough\n\nYou need to know as much as you can about Bitcoin to get the most out of it. Understand how it works and study its price change patterns. There are many Bitcoin communities that you can join on social media.\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

The miners verify and confirm all of the Bitcoin transactions and without them the whole thing would grind to a halt. There would be no more transactions and no new Bitcoins created.\n\nWhat is Bitcoin Mining?\n\nBitcoin miners use very powerful computer equipment to update the Bitcoin decentralized ledger. They need to solve very complex cryptographic challenges and the first to do this will update a block and receive a reward in Bitcoins (at the time of writing this is around 12 Bitcoins). \nWith Bitcoins being worth thousands of dollars these days this seems like a really good idea. But is it really? You cannot perform Bitcoin mining successfully with a powerful desktop computer. You need to invest a ton of money into very high end computing power and then pay for the running costs of these computers.\n\nThe Process of Bitcoin Mining\n\nAnyone can get involved in Bitcoin mining. There are already thousands of Bitcoin miners that update the Bitcoin blockchain ledger and thousands more want to get involved. With Bitcoin mining you need to guess a number that will solve an equation that the blockchain generates. \nYou need to use powerful computers to make these guesses. When you have a lot of computing power you can make many guesses per second which increases your chances of being the first to get it right. \nWhen you guess right the mining software on your computers works out which of the currently pending transactions need grouping together in the next block for adding to the blockchain. After this the entire Bitcoin network validates the transaction.\n\nBitcoin Mining is difficult\n\nThe inventor of Bitcoin and blockchain, Satoshi Nakatomo, created rules for mining where the more mining power in the network the more difficult it is to guess the right random number. As more and more people are becoming Bitcoin miners the difficulty level continues to rise.\nThe reason behind this increasing difficulty is to create a regular flow of Bitcoins. In reality this means that it takes around 10 minutes to create a new transaction block on average. The actual times vary considerably. It is all about mining power these days and the more you have the more likely you are to succeed.\n\nBitcoin Mining Pools\n\nTo get involved in Bitcoin mining these days is beyond most individuals. The costs of the equipment required and the running costs are just too much. There is increased competition as well with many miners collaborating together.\nOne solution to this problem is the Bitcoin mining pool. This is a simple concept where groups of people create a pool and combine their mining power and share the rewards. Even small players can get involved with Bitcoin mining in a pool.\nThere are a number of large Bitcoin mining pools existing today. They will take a percentage of any success that you have. Usually this is around the 2% mark.\n\nSo is Bitcoin Mining worth it?\n\nIf you are a newcomer then the answer to this is probably not. There are a lot of factors to consider if you really want to get involved in Bitcoin mining. If you want to go it alone then you will have to invest a ton of money into computers that can make very high numbers of guesses every second.\nThen you have to keep these super computers running which usually means storage costs (they need proper cooling as they run all of the time) and electricity costs. In truth you would be better off using the money that you would need to invest to purchase Bitcoins.\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

      "body": "![pexels-worldspectrum-1097946.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdtehymwAtKnARrTeLZiVxivinGgm3LQiYPEAugMphsN8/pexels-worldspectrum-1097946.jpg)\n\n\nThere are a number of stories about Bitcoin traders that have made a great deal of money on the back of the volatility of the digital currency. Some traders are able to make consistent profits most days with Bitcoin. So if you are just starting out with Bitcoin should you trade or go for longer term investment?\n\nBitcoin Trading\n\nIf you are new to Bitcoin then it is not impossible for you to make trades to make regular profits. But this is not an easy thing to do. It takes a good deal of experience and you need to be mentally and financially ready. To make consistent profits from trading you need to buy low and sell high.\nWhen you first start to trade Bitcoin it is natural for you to panic when prices change. Bitcoin is now very valuable and there can literally be thousands of dollars at stake. The more money that you are using the more likely you are to panic.\n\nLearn how to Trade Bitcoin\nWe would never recommend that you just jump into Bitcoin trading. You need to learn everything that you can about it first. A number of the exchanges will provide you with a dummy account where you can practice. These accounts have real time prices like the real ones and if you make a mistake then you can learn from them.\nIt doesn’t matter if you blow all of the pretend money in a demo account. Just get another demo account and try again. But imagine this was real money you were trading with – it would be devastating to lose everything wouldn’t it?\n\nCreate a Trading Plan\n\nThe best Bitcoin traders have a plan. They have minimum buy prices and sell prices. They stick to this plan no matter what and never enter into emotional trades because they “feel right”. When you start trading Bitcoin forget about making a ton of money in a day. If you have this attitude you are more likely to make a lot of mistakes.\nNever go all in on a trade. Just use small amounts of money to trade with until you develop the skills and experience that you need. It doesn’t matter how good an opportunity seems to be – just stick with small amounts when you are starting out.\n\nBitcoin Investing\n\nThe difference between Bitcoin investing and trading is the amount of time involved. With Bitcoin investing you are committing to the longer term which we believe is a smarter decision. When you invest over the longer term you are able to cover off the volatility of Bitcoin and have the best chance of a good return.\n\nOne of the best methods to use for Bitcoin investment is the dollar cost averaging method. The concept here is to invest smaller amounts regularly so that you can take advantage of price swings. \n\nFor example if you decide you can invest $100 a week then some weeks you will get more Bitcoins for your money and other weeks you will get less. Over a period of time this should always average out so that at the end of the investing period you have still made a reasonable return.\n\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

There is always a lot of news about this digital currency and especially how it rises and falls in price dramatically at times. Well here we will give you the complete 101 on Bitcoin.\n\nAs we already mentioned, Bitcoin is a digital currency. You may think that there are actual coins available but there are not. These are just fabrications. The original intention of Bitcoin was to send payments anonymously and securely online. This is still true to a certain extent today.\n\nA Decentralized Currency\n\nA number of countries around the world are scared of Bitcoin. It is a totally decentralized currency not controlled by any governments or centralized banks. Some countries have actually banned Bitcoin.\nA major advantage that Bitcoin has over conventional fiat currencies is that it is not affected by any inflationary of deflationary measures imposed by countries. There is a limited supply of Bitcoin which increases its value – similar to gold.\n\nThe Technology behind Bitcoin\n\nBlockchain is the technology behind Bitcoin. This is a public ledger system which adds to a large chain of confirmed transactions which is where the name blockchain originated from. Anyone can see the entire blockchain for Bitcoin since it began in 2009. This is a lot of data and will grow even larger in the future.\nWith blockchain technology after verifying a financial transaction you cannot change it. It creates immutable records. \n\nThis is excellent for security but not so good if you make a mistake with a Bitcoin transaction. There is no turning back after verification and confirmation.\n\nThousands of computers (nodes) in the blockchain network for Bitcoin validate it all of the time. This means that it is virtually impossible to hack a blockchain network as you would require more processing power than all of the computers that make up the network.\n\nBitcoin Mining\n\nThe process of verifying Bitcoin transactions falls to Bitcoin miners. These are individuals, groups or companies that use high powered computer equipment to solve the complex cryptographic codes needed to verify each transaction.\nBitcoin miners receive rewards for this work in the form of Bitcoins. With Bitcoins being very valuable these days, mining can be a very rewarding task. The problem is that with the creation of new Bitcoins the number of new ones available falls. \n\nYou need a great deal of computer processing power to participate in Bitcoin mining now. A powerful desktop computer is nowhere near good enough. So if you want o be a Bitcoin miner you need to invest in high spec computer equipment (and lots of it), and be prepared to run them 24/7 with the electrical costs that that brings.\n\nWhere can you get Bitcoins?\nYou can purchase Bitcoins in your native fiat currency e.g. US Dollar by using a cryptocurrency exchange such as Coinbase.com. There are fees involved for buying and selling as you can imagine. \nA cryptocurrency wallet stores your purchased Bitcoins. The cryptocurrency exchange will provide you with an online wallet and there are other forms of Bitcoin wallet such as a desktop wallet, a paper wallet and a hardware wallet.\nThe hardware wallet is the most secure because you do not leave it plugged into your computer or mobile device. An online wallet is the least secure because if you can access it online then so can hackers.\n\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

      "body": "![pexels-shutterspeed-10468095.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUbeVU7fod1kp7LXEY9YnganJ4oJYvKqpfenUjSJj2WqF/pexels-shutterspeed-10468095.jpg)\n\n\n\nMost people do not know what their true calling in life is. Some people just don’t care about this and are happy to be a drifter in life and just “go with the flow”. Others do care about it but have problems with identifying their real purpose in life. So here will show you 6 reasons why you absolutely must create a WHY statement.\n\n1. It will provide clarity about what your purpose in life is.\nIf you don’t know your true life’s purpose then you will end up doing things that you really don’t want to do. There are so many people working jobs that they hate just to pay the bills. They dread Monday mornings and always feel apprehensive on Sunday nights. This is no way to live your life.\nWhen you know what your true purpose is in life you can take action to achieve this. You will have more confidence and can get a job that will align with your purpose. You will have more energy and be motivated every day.\n\n2. A WHY Statement Sharpens your Focus\nWithout the right focus in your life it is easy to set goals that you are not truly committed to. A lot of people follow their friends and other influencers in their life and end up setting the same goals as them. We are all different and this rarely works out well.\nWhen you identify what you really want your life to be about this clarity helps you to work out your next moves a lot more easily. You can use your WHY statement to drive you forward each day and achieve what you really want from your life.\n\n3. You will make the Right Decisions\nHave you ever made wrong decisions in your life? Of course you have we have all done that. When you have a strong and compelling WHY statement it will help you to make much better decisions in life.\nA lot of decisions have serious consequences and if you don’t know your true purpose then you can dismiss these consequences in exchange for short term pleasure or gain. With a good WHY statement you will assess the long term consequences and be able to make better decisions.\n\n4. It Provides more Accountability\nPeople that have no purpose in life tend to shy away from accountability. They are just happy to drift along but then complain bitterly when things go against them. It is never their fault of course and always someone else’s.\nWith a powerful WHY statement you will know where you are going in life and be accountable for this. You will think things through more and only take action where it aligns with your WHY statement. This additional accountability will make you a better person.\n\n5. You will be Healthier and Happier\nIf you only want to consider one of these reasons to have a compelling WHY statement then this is the one to choose. There is nothing more important than your health and your happiness. When you are happy then you tend to be healthier. If you are unhappy then your resistance is down and you can experience all kinds of health issues.\n\n6. Your Resilience will Increase\nEveryone has to face problems in their life. For some people these problems are too difficult to handle and they become overwhelmed and stressed out. When you have a compelling WHY statement you can see these problems as opportunities for you to grow and attain fulfillment in your life.\n\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

Although nothing is ever guaranteed when investing\nin cryptocurrencies there are certain practices that you can follow that will maximize your chances of\nsuccess.\n\n1. Understand how Bitcoin works\n\nWe have given you all the information that you need in this guide to understand how Bitcoin really\nworks. You need to know the principles of blockchain and how Bitcoin trades are made. Don’t get\ncaught up in the technicalities but make sure that you have a firm understanding of Bitcoin before you\nmake any trades.\n\n2. Go for Long Term Investment\n\n\nYou may have heard a lot of stories about traders who make money from Bitcoin trades every day.\nSome of these may be true but these people have a lot of experience and know what they are doing!\nGo for a long term investment strategy (buy and hold) instead to battle against the volatility of Bitcoin.\n\n3. Be Wallet Secure\n\nWe devoted an entire chapter on the different types of wallets for Bitcoin and their security issues.\nOnline wallets are the least secure and hardware wallets are the most secure. For convenience it\nworks the other way around with online or “hot” wallets being the most convenient and offline or\n“cold” wallets being the least convenient.\nBitcoins are very valuable so you need to have the right wallets to protect them. If you are going to\ntrade regularly then just keep enough Bitcoins in an online wallet to do this and keep the rest in your\ncold wallet. If thieves get hold of your private keys then you can say goodbye to your Bitcoins.\n\n4. Use Reputable Exchanges to buy and sell Bitcoins\n\nDue to the high value of Bitcoins there are plenty of thieves and scammers out there who want to\nsteal yours from you. Only use a reputable cryptocurrency exchange such as Coinbase or Kraken to buy\nand sell your Bitcoins.\nAlways check out a cryptocurrency exchange thoroughly. Do they have a track record? Are there user\nreviews? If you can’t find these things then look for another exchange. If an exchange is making\npromises of Bitcoin deals that seem too good to be true then move on.\n\n5. Watch Bitcoin Trends\n\nIt is always a good idea to keep an eye on the price fluctuations of Bitcoin. Use tools like Bitcoin\nWisdom and Cryptowatch to stay in the loop. This is especially important if you are thinking about\ninvesting a lump sum into Bitcoin. You want to buy at the lowest price and sell at the highest price.\n\n6. Avoid Bitcoin Trading Initially\n\nOnce you get more experience as a Bitcoin investor then you can try your hand at Bitcoin trading. We\ndo not recommend that you start trading straight away. You need to learn a great deal about Bitcoin\npricing and be able to effectively control your emotions to trade successfully.\nThere are demo accounts available that you can use to practice Bitcoin trading. Use these to the full\nand learn from any mistakes that you make before you start using real money to trade Bitcoins.\n\n7. Accept that Bitcoin is Volatile and High Risk\n\nBitcoin is a highly volatile digital currency. This means that there are opportunities to make significant\ngains and the risk of losing a lot of money too. You need to accept this and always bear it in mind to be\na successful Bitcoin investor.\n\n8. Avoid Scams\n\nUnfortunately there are many cryptocurrency scams. Bitcoins are very valuable and thieves will do\neverything that they can to steal them from you. Watch out for fake exchanges, phishing in emails and\ntoo good to be true Ponzi schemes.\n\n9. Avoid Bitcoin Mining\n\nDo not get involved in Bitcoin mining when you are starting out. You will need to make a significant\ninvestment in high end computer equipment to have any chance of success and it just makes more\nsense to use this money to purchase Bitcoins instead.\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

Like any other high value commodity some people will do\neverything that they can to get their hands on Bitcoins. So in this chapter we will look at some of the\nmost common scams that you need to avoid.\n\nBitcoin Exchanges that are Fake\n\nWe would always recommend that you use a cryptocurrency exchange that has an established\nreputation and have been operating for a few years. In this guide we have told you about Coinbase,\nKraken, Poloniex and Bittrex. There are others too such as Cex.io, Bitstamp.net and Changelly.com.\n\nThere are so many cryptocurrency exchanges available today that it would be impossible for use to\nvouch for any of them. You need to conduct your own due diligence here and find out the history and\nlook for reviews from users.\n\nIf you see an exchange offering rates that are just too good to be true then be very suspicious.\nUnfortunately there are fake exchanges that look like the real thing and then when you try to trade\nwith them they will steal your Bitcoins and you will never see them again.\n\nThese fake exchanges prey on newcomers to the Bitcoin space. They offer the opportunity to purchase\nBitcoins for up to 20% lower than you would see on reputable sites like Coinbase. Unfortunately some\nnew people fall for this scam – you know better now!\n\nAnother sign of a fake exchange is where they offer to purchase your Bitcoins from you at a higher\nthan average price and then send you the amount in US dollars to your PayPal account. This will never\nhappen and they will just steal your Bitcoins.\n\nPhishing Scams\n\nThese are performed using email. The aim is to get the login details for your online wallet. So you will\nreceive an email from a domain name that looks like Coinbase.com for example that is not from the\ngenuine site. It might be from Coinsbase.com pretending to be Coinbase.com or they use other tricks.\n\nIf you fall for this kind of phishing scam and use your Coinbase.com login details to log into the fake\nwebsite then the scammers then have your information and can login to your Coinbase account, lock\nyou out of your own account and steal all your Bitcoins!\n\nMalware Scams\n\nThese are nasty. You will be asked to click a link in an email or on a website that will download\nmalware on your computer without you knowing it. Usually the malware is a keylogger which will\nrecord everything that you type and send this back to the scammers. So if you type in your Coinbase\nusername and password this will be shared with the thieves.\n\nNever click on any links in emails or on websites that you are not 100% sure about. If you notice\nsomething being downloaded then stop it immediately.\n\nPonzi Scams\n\nIf someone offered you a guaranteed return on your investment then you would be interested right?\nWell here’s the thing – nobody can offer you this kind of guarantee with cryptocurrencies. There is no\nsuch thing as a risk free investment.\n\nBitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are volatile by their very nature. If someone tells you that they can\nguarantee a daily 10% return on investment they are a scammer. A Ponzi scheme pays off the early\nmembers with the investments made by new members. It has been going on for years and so many\npeople fall for new ones.\n\nThe best way to avoid Ponzi scheme scams is to always bear in mind that if it seems too good to be\ntrue then it probably isn’t.\n\nMining Scams\n\nThere is a lot of interest in Bitcoin mining. Cloud mining is a concept where you do not have to invest\nheavily in the necessary high level computer hardware for Bitcoin mining. Simply join a group and the\nmining is done for you. Of course you will need to pay for this privilege.\n\nWhile there are legitimate cloud mining programs there are a number of scammers as well. Take a\ngood look at the website to see if they have a secure https domain and also search for reviews about\nthe company on search engines.\n\nWe don’t recommend that you get into Bitcoin mining when you are starting out. If you do like the\nidea of cloud mining then you must do your homework otherwise you run the risk of scammers taking\nyour money for nothing in return.\n\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",

In this chapter we will look\nat some of the real life Bitcoin investment strategies that are working well for some savvy investors.\n\nMany people are jumping on the Bitcoin investment bandwagon nowadays because of the price rises\nbut most of these people fail because they are ill prepared. They do not have the advantage of reading\na guide like this to help them like you do.\n\nThroughout this guide we have made no secret of the fact that Bitcoin is a volatile digital currency and\nit goes up and down in value on a regular basis. That is why we recommend that you adopt a long\nterm approach to your Bitcoin investing so that if the price does drop you give it time to recover.\nSo here we will take a more in depth look at some of the “real life” methods that successful Bitcoin\ninvestors use to make a profit.\n\nThe Dollar Cost Averaging Method\n\nWe mentioned this briefly in chapter 2. This really is the best Bitcoin investment method for beginners\nbecause it removes the need to enter the Bitcoin market when the timing is right. A lot of novice\nBitcoin investors spend a lot of time and really stress out waiting for the price of Bitcoin to fall to the\nright level.\n\nWhen you use the dollar cost averaging method for your Bitcoin investing you will spread your risk\nover a time period. All you need to do is make purchases at regular intervals and then hold them in\nyour secure wallet.\n\nHere is an example of how this works. Let’s say that each week you can spare $100 to invest in Bitcoin.\nSo you will make a purchase every week for $100 and some weeks you will receive more Bitcoins for\nyour money and others you will get less.\n\nThere is no need for you to study Bitcoin price charts for hours. All you need to do is have the\ndiscipline to make those $100 purchases every week. You don’t have to wait around for the right price\ndrops just make your purchase anyway.\n\nWhen you use the dollar averaging method you will find that your profits average out when you\ndecide to sell. You might not achieve huge profits using this method but if you sell when the Bitcoin\nprice is high then you will still make a good return.\n\nInvesting a Lump Sum into Bitcoins\n\nThis method is definitely not one for the faint of heart but we want to cover all bases here. When you\ninvest a lump sum in Bitcoins you will purchase them at a specific price point. There is an element of\nrisk when you do this.\n\nLet’s assume that you have $50,000 to invest. Naturally you want to get as many Bitcoins as possible\nfor your investment. In order to have the best chance of doing this you have no choice but to wait\nuntil the Bitcoin price goes down.\n\nThere is no other alternative here. You must wait and time your entry into the Bitcoin market as well\nas you can. The problem is that in practice the price of Bitcoin fluctuates very often so predicting the\nnext price dip is really tough to do.\n\nIf you have a lump sum to invest right now we wouldn’t advise that you start with this. It takes\nexperience to make a good judgment of the right price dip. Even the experts get this wrong\nsometimes.\n\nWhen you are new to Bitcoin investing and want to invest a lump sum you may see a price dip and\nthen think to yourself “if I just hang on for a while it may go down even more” or “what if the price\nnever reaches my low point?”\n\nThe same scenario applies to selling your lump sum investment. How do you know the best price to\nsell your Bitcoins for? It may be very difficult to sell at the price that you need to make the profit you\nplanned for.\n\nIf you sell too soon and the price goes up even more then you will criticize yourself heavily. Think what\nyou could have done with all of that extra profit! Obviously a lump sum investment will provide you\nwith a much higher profit than the dollar cost averaging method if you get the timing just right.\n\nBitcoin Investing Hedge Fund\n\nYou may not be aware of this but there are actually cryptocurrency hedge funds available that include\nBitcoin. This could be a good alternative for you if you do not want to learn about Bitcoin investing\nthat you will need to do if you want to use other investment strategies. The biggest drawback with any\nhedge fund is the expensive performance and management fees.\n\nCryptocurrency hedge funds will insist that you pay the management fee upfront. Usually these fees\nare in the region of 2% of your investment so if you want to invest $100,000 then you are going to\nhave to pay around $2,000 as a management fee which leaves you with $98,000 for investing in\ncryptocurrencies.\n\nYou will be appointed a hedge fund manager and they work on a profits percentage basis. This can be\nas high as 20% so if you were able to secure a $40,000 profit from your investment then you will have\nto pay $8,000 to your hedge fund manager.\n\nThese figures may startle you and cryptocurrency hedge funds are not going to be everyone’s idea of a\ngood thing. But when you think about it you will have totally hands off investing here which can make\nbig profits for you.\n\nLearn HOW people are learning to be successful crypto traders\njust in their spare time ==> tinyurl dot com/ym4a4znk (COPY and paste into a new tab and REPLACE dot \nwith an actual .)",
