For your own good, it is better if you do not get distracted, and if we go by your forum registration date, you have been potentially buying bitcoin for nearly 1 year and a half, and it is better that you keep buying for a whole cycle or longer and don't get distracted by the price.  The fact that you are buying means that you are ahead of 99% of the world's population who has not even started to buy bitcoin yet.

Storing Bitcoin/crypto is one of the most important topic in the crypto space.However,most folks believe that CEXs are the best platform to hold Bitcoin for a long term but it's the worst storage method to hold for a long term.Holding Bitcoin in an exchange is like trusting/relying on a third party to protect your digital asset for a long period of time which you never can tell the future of the platform.Before I proceed let's look at the meaning of centralized exchanges.

Centralized exchanges are digital platform that provides the ease for bitcoiners/crypto enthusiasts to sell,buy and trade digital assets.Most CEXs have hosted wallet where they manage/hold the funds of their users.CEXs are owned by some set of individuals or companies,they act as third parties in execution of trades.Centralised exchange was introduced in 2010,and there was a reputable exchange back then that was hacked(MT GOX) and over 850000 BTC were lost.
Non custodial wallets are best in regards to holding for a long term because it's users have ownership and control over their digital assets in essence users of non custody wallets hold their private keys.Hot & cold wallet are example of non custodial wallets.

Reasons why CEXs is not recommended in regards to holding for a long term;
1.Centralized exchanges can be filed for bankruptcy.
2.Centralized exchanges have all it takes to freeze it users coins for a long period of time.
3.Centralized exchanges are always a target to online hack.
4.Not your keys,not your coins.

Conclusion
Centralized exchanges have promoted the adoption of Bitcoin/crypto due to it users friendly/interface and their high trading volume.It is important to note that not all exchanges are reputable in the crypto space it's similar to a statement that says not all that glitter is gold.Currently, Nigeria government and regulators have been implementing VAT tax on CEXs and most CEXs have delisted Naira,so it's also confusing to some folks in terms of choosing a reputable exchange.I know most users will say this is a common topic,it's common and at same time important to those newbies that use the word exchange and wallet interchangeably.

Just like the title says, I was back testing some regular trading sites today. And I saw a pretty interesting one which caught my attention. They had claimed to give free 0.043 BTC upon registering as a welcome gift. I was thrilled and wanted to see for my self.  I followed through their sign up process, using some random emails I just maneuver,and it registered me without any verification. So yes, it was true. I saw the 0.0043 BTC welcome bonus. And wanted to try if it were withdraw able. I already knew the only out come of this, which was obvious from the very beginning. I clicked on withdraw and added an address I don't use. And then I burst out of laughter to see that they had requested a deposit of 0.025 BTC before I would be able to withdraw the bonus. It was so obvious a scam but I wonder if there will still be someone so stupid to fall for such lazy scams. There might be people though, our of greed rush into depositing and eventually funds out it is just a scam. So I just wanted to bring this to the forum so someone might learn something from it. Don't be in a haste to make money, always remember that there isn't any free money on the internet. Noone will give you such huge amounts of BTC for free.

I have some pictures I screenshoted from the website, I would love to share but I really don't know how to post pictures on this forum. I see a lot of people adding pictures to their threads but how do I do that? Anyone care to show me so I can edit this post and add it here also for you guys to see.

Here the link to the website.

Will bitcoin still be profitable in the future when most people might have understand it better to hodl bitcoin. I think bitcoin is gaining more adopters because people are getting to understand it better and I feel in the future people won't be worried about the volatility of bitcoin because they already know what the volatility of bitcoin is all about. If majority of the people hodl bitcoin in the future will it still be profitable as what it is today ?

I don't think so i just see this news happened just few months ago this year, Killed by a scam: A father took his life after losing his savings to international criminal gangs. He’s not the only one, its a crypto scams. Although its true that we don't see more ponzi these days since people knows how to distinguish these sites but talking crypto space is safer now is a false argument. Phishing sites are still rampants and even "expert" people get victim on this.

It’s a solid strategy for anyone who wants to build up their crypto stash over time, especially if cash flow is tight.
