Just a word of advice.

Do not trust anyone on this forum.
Users are selling their accounts, and scammers are easily jumping from account to account.

Do not buy any "hero, legandary" etc accounts, do not buy merit, any other accounts, if only supported way of payment is eth/btc etc.
You will be scammed, and scammer will simply jump to different forum account.
If paypal avail, or their own site, then yes, you can try buying.

If you see person seling any accounts here, CHECK THEIR TRUST (click on link!!!). If you see any recent positive trust - check trust of other guys who gave positive trust to person from who you want to buy something.
Why? Because if scammer will have few accounts, he usually work in closed loop, giving positive trust to his own accounts.
Also normally, such accounts will have NEGATIVE feedback previously.

After a "MERIT" program was introduced, many "newbies" are quite pissed off that they cannot even set their own avatar due to... lack of merit. Like me.
In most cases, they will be scammer victims.

If youre newbie here - do not risk your money to buy account or anything here, as there are plenty od scammers here.

Do not be naive, do not trust anyone!!

Its true. But these all are basics. And not only on Bitcointalk everywhere you should follow above rules. You should not trust any website/New site/Blog etc for making your decision
on investment.
Their are possibility that website like ICObench may alot a fake ranking for few bitcoins. So every time you need to apply your mind.

Bitcointalk still a strict forum. Every time moderators are developing new methodology to minimize the scam in this forum. I found this forum really useful.

Before one year I was knowing nothing about Bitcoin. I shared many thread here like which wallet , which exchange and got help in few minutes.

Its best place to learn about cryptos....
