RE: Embercoin - Potential to moonshot like Verge?
Good day @arcjen02! First of all, would need to see which country you are coming from as there may be some restriction from country to country. Secondly, it would be good to understand what is Cryptocurrency from here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency and what is blockchain technology - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain.
Often it is exciting to see how fast money can be grown, but most importantly, we have to know what we are getting into instead of throwing money into it expecting the money to grow. Why bitcoin is in the limelight and why people mentioned that it may become $0 one day and some mentioned it will become $1M per coin one day? These are some important controvertial topic that you have to understand before going into it.
If you believe Cryptocurrency, decentralized control is the future, then you will be able to join in the Crypto world and invest in the projects you deem to go mainstream in future. It's very exciting as we are now part of the Crypto community when we invest our 'play money' into it. Just not to put in all your life saving or loan to participate as we never know what will happen. Two factors we cannot control even if our portfolio rise up high are - Government interference and Hackers hacking the exchange or wallet. So with 'play money', you will be fine.
Next is to figure out how you can get bitcoin/ethereum/litecoin to trade on various exchange. Once you have gotten the bitcoin, you can send it over to various exchange and start to trade the bitcoin with other altcoins. Feel free to join me on binance exchange here - https://goo.gl/T67cRM or Cryptopia - https://goo.gl/kqVG2d
Most likely you could get your bitcoin here on Coinbase - https://goo.gl/r1LFYp
Using the link, you will get $10 when you buy your first $100 worth of bitcoin. Then you can transfer to binance/cryptopia or other exchanges. Look for those reputable exchanges as we see some of the exchanges got hacked.
Play safe and have fun. Once you can treat this as a game, you could earn big without much stress. Money is good to have, but happiness is more important, which links to health! Happy 2018 in advance!
Thanks for taking your time to explain even further though I am replying your message really late and I apologize for that please for give me.
Am a Nigerian and I have gone through the links in you comment concerning cryptocurrency and blockchain though am still a bit confused. So do you think there is restrictions to getting better in trading in Nigeria??
