BTC Should I continue to use Coinbase? Seems pretty popular and secure, but you can never be sure.
You should stop using Coinbase, or any web wallet. Those wallets are typically not secure, and they don't give you access to your private keys, meaning that the service can spend the Bitcoin for you should they wish to do so. Instead go with a desktop wallet. If you want something quick and easy to use, I recommend Electrum. If you want security, I recommend Bitcoin Armory. However, Bitcoin Armory, like Bitcoin Core, will need to download the full blockchain which takes up 40+ Gb of space.BTC Are miners worth it? I mean, they are super expensive and I am not even looking at trying to get profit out of these things.
Its okay if you want to mine just for fun or as a hobby, but don't expect to ROI on it anytime soon, and don't expect to even make a profit. You will be at a net loss since electricity for it will cost more than you will ever make.BTC You can see that I have a tad of BTC, with more in escrow. What should I do to get more? I want to be active here and get more, so I can invest in the network, the community and my future! What do you recommend?
Try to spread out. Keep some of it in cold storage, just in case. Keep some in hot wallets. There aren't many good investments with Bitcoin yet. Most of them are scams and ponzis that will just take your money and run. When looking into something and seeing if you want to invest, make sure you do your research to ensure that they won't scam you.When you get a high enough rank on your account here, you can join a signature campaign which will pay you for posting here. But when you do that, be careful since that could potentially get you banned for spam posts if you just post spam in order to get paid.
