I still think putting your money into binance is not as risky as people make it out to be, if you take your security measures you are fine with a place like binance, they can get hacked and with the amount of cold wallets they have the hot wallet is actually only a small percent of money they have so even getting hacked and getting all of their hot wallet stolen wouldn't affect them at all (which happened and didn't affect).

Hence, I think if you do not have any api that you open and if you do not give permission to any other place and if you do not click on phishing websites for binance then all you have to do is log in and use it. So, it is a website that you can trade and can reach out whenever you want that is actually quite safe if you know how to use it.

It is our responsibility to take control of our funds and have it protected for any loses that might come.
In a particular reason why we fail to protect our fund is that we never know what we exactly are doing. Scam and fraudulent scheme attractions seem to be more visible nowadays, letting these people come on you will surely be a reason that will cost you in the end.
Loss of money do have 2 possible causes or reasons either you have been scammed or you do make actions like being greedy into your investment which causes for a wrong decision that had made.

Protecting capital is limiting losses and minimal as possible.Its inevitable thing but due to experience and knowledge these risk can really be suppressed.

You said the very right things. Many, especially new ones, when they arrive in the cryptocurrency world and see a sea of opportunities in it, cease to critically think about what all types of scammers successfully use.
Always consider that they want to deceive you, until proven otherwise. If you are offered something, even if you did not ask for it, then something is wrong here.
Always dig deeper, always a little deeper than you already dug.

This is the best advice for newbies. So view every prospect as a scam, until proven otherwise.
There are a lot of fraudalent attempts in the cryptospace.
I still remember the time when I was once getting scammed. Even if I had my doubts and I knew that this is going to end badly, the hype of other people who FOMO the scam project made me jump into it.

My advice is to follow your own feeling and thinking before investing. Don't trust others just yourself...

Here for enriching conversations
I think most people are losing their hard-earned money chasing  “the next Bitcoin”, by focusing on ICOs. The time for ICOs has unfortunately ended and even the now highly touted IEOs will not cut it. What is needed now are tools that investors can use to consolidate and track the performance and value of a selection of underlying top cryptocurrencies according to reputable tracking websites like coinmarketcap. I would rather invest in an index that contains the top to coins on coinmarketcap that risking on some shitty ICO.

Just invest what you can afford to lose, that's it. We never know what's gonna happened to a project even if developers and ceo are active some projects ended up being scam after all because people are greedy when it comes to money, that's the reality world we are living in. So, it's best to research before engaging into crypto investments.
This is to save ourselves after we lose the capital but I think this topic is about how to minimize the capital loss while investment and what are the fields needs to be skipped while making investments.

My advice would be to just ignore that whole space entirely.  I've never invested in an ICO and never will.

Definitely having the same thoughts here. ICO's mostly are scam projects and even if they are doing something good by now they will surely die later on, so in the first place what's the point of being skeptical if you can actually "Skip" from it's destruction.

This will similarly applies to "Cloud Mining", "HYIP" and any other obvious "Scam" scheme projects. The key to protecting your assets is by putting it in the right place, considering the fact that even the most legit ways of earning a profit does not guarantee a 100% how much more if the said assets are being put into those "Scam" category. scheme.

Yes i agree and it's a very good advice. But now, we're talking about newbie, which means they don't really have much knowledge about them. If you expect them to look deeply into the ico or something, it might be hard since they're not really familiar with it, and don't know what is good and what is not. It might be better if the newbie want to learn and find more, but most only want easy money. And i think following those expert is not always bad. Since they might know better, and they will think thoroughly before recommending anything because it might affect them as well if something happened. But overall what you said is true and it might be a useful suggestion for people.

In no time your funds will be in the wallet of someone else if there is no perfect learning about cryptocurrency. Most of the users with the plan of profiting have been earning through the process of trading with the leading cryptocurrencies. Same time capital fund loss happens mostly when investing into scam projects without making any analysis.
Newbies will always fall on this if they don't have a single idea what was the project is all about. It might take too long for them to understand it but once they fall for the trap it's too late for them to realize that they were in the wrong path. It is better to enter the market with a little bit of knowledge on how things would be running or have someone with full knowledge about cryptocurrency with you.

But the thing is newbies tends to look for coins, specially in the alt coin market that could bring more money with just a small capital and hit a jackpot, which is not possible because investors are getting smarter and while noobs are getting dumber. And so they continue this practice until one day they realised that it is not a smart move after all.

It is still possible in my opinion.  Manipulation is always around so if it happen that a person timed his investment to a certain altcoin and pump commence, then he surely will get a huge profit from it.  But to safeguard your capital it is always best to invest on a cryptocurrency that had been around for a while and have a huge community.  Possibly those who are on the top 50 of coinmarketcap.
There used to be lots of pump and dump coin when altcoins was still very popular, and you could create one little hype and you see many people investing out of fomo, but now, it is difficult to get people to invest in altcoins, not to talk of pumping it for you to be lucky to make so much with little investment.

There are investors now that it is either they participate in IEO or just go for some of these top altcoins in the market because these are still the coins that have real use case and can make your investment really valid when you make it a long term investment. Some of the coins that you are referring to can only be found in IEO platform for now since scammers are yet to penetrate it and Binance has already created the hype that it would use to attract people.

I am terrible at Fantasy Football!!!
While it is true scammers are still running rampant we are seeing signs of improvement, the current growth in the market was driven by bitcoin and while alts still grew in value the majority could not outperform bitcoin, this means that many have lost their desire to invest in icos since they know that most likely they will never see their money again, now ieos are trying to take the place of icos but the hype surrounding them is nowhere close to what we saw with icos on the past.
ICO too was not that popular until around 2017, and I think it was Ethereum that made ICO popular, prior to when ICO became popular, I think 2 years had already gone if we look at the time Ethereum was established, so I think IEO is not getting much hype yet because it is still a new system if we give it another 1 year more, I am sure that it will become more popular than ICO provided that scammers would not also scatter it before it gets to see the hype.

We have some terrible exchanges right now that I see already announcing IEO project and most of the IEO project I see is just like some project that could not scam on ICO and decided o approach some of thesehungryexchanges. So we still have to be quite careful about IEO investments too.
While I agree that ieos will most likely become more popular as time passes by, I have my doubts ieos will be as popular as icos were in 2017, most investors are not going to forget the huge losses they got just because ieos are offering promises that this time things will be different and when we add that many exchanges will have no problem offering fraudulent ieos then any trust investors may have will evaporate as soon as ieos begin to show the same behaviour as icos.

The good thing that we will do is to always make a dilligence when investing in crypto. Above mentioned is really true let us not rely for those so called experts because there is no accuracy of their predictions. So it is best protecting your capital by doing your own research as crypto is risks and as long you know how to manage your investment.

The best possible way known is to use a hardware wallet, I mean is it possible that they could be hacked? Maybe, if you leave your passphrase out in the open and you give your laptop someone and you just happen to leave your hardware wallet right on the table than leave that person there and go somewhere else? Sure. However, to be realistic, there is absolutely no possible way of getting hacked on a hardware wallet, that is how you protect it.

For the dollar value of it though, not much you can do aside from just keeping it on usdt, there is absolutely no coin that will never drop, all of them will drop at some time and all of them will go up at sometime, so maybe you will buy into it right before it falls, nobody can guarantee you won't and that is why you can't really protect it.

Protecting ones capital must start on how the individual handles the capital in the first place. Also, one must learn how to make the right decisions as to which coins to invest in order to earn profit. Diversifying ones portfolio reduces the risk of losing ones capital to a single project/coin.

That will be done if that person can learn about how to protect the capital. And yes, diversifying can be a solution to reduces the risk of losing money, but we still need to choose the right investment or coins to buy. That will not be easy if we don't learn something that will help us to choose the right coins, and besides that, there are so many coins that we can select as the next investment. When you can find a good project, and you invest with them, then in the future, you will make a big profit too so you can protect the capital plus you got the profit

Personally, I don't think that altcoins (which you implicitly refer to here) are a good diversification option

They may indeed be an invaluable tool for multiplying your wealth (read, for the purposes of speculation), especially if you enter a coin right before the pump (and exit before the dump), but recently most if not all altcoins have been performing worse than Bitcoin. So if you want to diversify your cryptocurrency investments, you should look elsewhere, not in the cryptocurrency market. On the other hand, if you want to protect you cryptoholdings from losing their dollar value, you can use shorts as a hedge (but then you expose yourself to the risks of using an exchange)

You can choose any altcoins for the investment, and I am sure you will found the potential altcoin Grin

Diversification in cryptocurrency is one of the investment right now besides the other investment which we already know. If the altcoin is performing worst in this few years, I am sure that there will be a time for the altcoin to rising up again even if we need to wait for more years. But I see that some altcoin can moves to the higher price even if bitcoin price is down because that altcoin is not depends on the bitcoin moves.

I am sure most people who invest in cryptocurrency know about the risk, so they have a different strategy to prevent the losses that might happen to them. So as long as they can accept the risk, they know how to prevent the loss, they could still choose the cryptocurrency as the investment.
